God Transcends Beyond the Real and the Unreal - Gita 11:37 " Kasmaacca te na nameranmahaatman; gariyase brahmano pyaadikartre Ananta devesa jagannivaasa; tvamaksaram sadasattatparam yat. " (Gita 11:37) " Oh Great Soul, the greatest of all the progenitors, even of the Brahmaa, why should they not bow to You? O Infinite One, O God of gods, O Abode of the Universe, You are Eternal. You are the being (real) and the non-being (unreal), and that, which is beyond both the being and non-being i.e. the Imperishable Brahma. " (Gita 11:37) Comment: Being (real, sat) and non-being (unreal, asat) both being relative terms, they are of a worldly nature, and He who is beyond them both, having an independent existence, is transcendental and divine. Both mundane and transcendental are the manifestation of the Supreme Consciousness of God. The higher and lower nature of that Supreme Consciousness are not beyond the real and the unreal, but God transcends beyond the real and the unreal. === 2. About Repetition of God' s Name - Naam Japa There is immense benefits from repetition of God's name (naam japa). With recitation of God's name, sensual enjoyments move further away, sins are wiped out, agitation of mind is removed, and one gains immense peace. In addition, devotion and worship of God increases. With repetition of God's name, even the impossible can become possible. Therefore, when worries come to mind, for half an hour simply recite God's name, and all worries will disappear. Those divine Souls that engage in repetition of God's name, become one with the name. Repetition of God's name is our true wealth and treasure that stays and goes with us. Therefore it has been said - " Dhanvantaa soyi jaaniye jaake Ram naam dhan hoi. " No one can even place a value on repetition of God's name. It is a priceless jewel. " Paayo ji meine Raam ratan dhan paayo. " Reciting God's name, has been called even more valuable than God Himself, whether God with attributes and qualities, or God without attributes and qualities. " Kahon kahaan lagi naam badaai; Raamu ne sakahin naam gun gaayi. " (Manasa 1:25:4) Even if God Himself wants to sing the praises of God's name, then too He will not be able to do so. The greatness of God name is infinite, eternal and unlimited. === 3. Make your Nature Pure and Flawless One who has made their nature pure and flawless, has done real work. They have captured the real treasure that will go with them. Make your nature pure and flawless. If you do this, then attachments will leave you. Also, by serving others, the egoism will leave you. You will become without attachment and without egoism (Nirmamoha Nirahankar). Even while working in this world, you will attain the highest state. Simply engage in this, then only it will happen. Therefore Brothers and Sisters, listen to spiritual truths (Satsang) and make your life according to what has been shared in the satsang. If your life becomes like that, then life will be fulfilled and you will attain peace. " nirmamoha nirahankara sa shaantimadigacchyat i. " (Gita 2:71). You will attain immense peace. Bhagavad Gita teaches about divinity while relating with this world. " sukhdukhe same krtvaa laabhaalaabhou jayaajayo, Tato yudhyaaya yujyasva naivam paapamavaapyasi. " (Gita 2:38). Even amidst and while engaged in war, God can be realized. Consider work as God's work and have great enthusiasm. One who serves, becomes purified. Therefore, if at all time we continue to be engaged in worship of God, then divinity, virtuousness remains at all times. Constant remembrance and worship of God carries on at all times.
