| The human incarnation is a homogeneous mixture of God (Narayana) and human being (Nara) existing as a single-phase alloy of two metals. An alloy with gold as the major component and copper as the minor component, is called gold alone. Similarly, the
human incarnation is considered to be God. The live wire is treated as the electric current. God is unimaginable even to the intelligence and certainly none can see God with one’s eyes (Na chakshusha—Veda). |

| A poor fellow was a disciple of Shri Akkalkot Maharaj. Shri Maharaj took that fellow to a forest and showed an abode of snakes. Shri Maharaj asked him to take two snakes and put them in to his bag. The disciple took two snakes with a lot of fear,put them in his bag and took them to his house. When he opened the bag, both the snakes were found to be two rods of gold. The message of Lord Datta in this story is that an excess of money indicated by the abode of snakes is very harmful like snakes. |

| The Veda says “Duramete Viparite Vishuchi” which means that God and this world are quite opposite like north and south poles. The word Vishuchi means the instrument having two needles pointing in opposite directions like north and south. It is only a simile and the concept is that God and the world are diametrically opposite. Unless you leave the last point of the path of the world, you cannot enter even the first point in the path of God. |

| Today the sun is entering the zodiac sign, Capricorn. The sun represents the Knowledge of the intelligence, which is in the final form called decision or determination. The Veda says that the Sun initiates the intelligence (Dhiyo Yo Nah). Capricorn is famous for rigidity; when it catches something it will not leave it under any circumstances. Therefore, this whole physical model represents the rigid decision of divine knowledge. |

| What is the aim of the birth of every soul?
A soul is the part of creation. The Veda says that the world is created for the entertainment of God only. Therefore, every soul should realize that its existence and life are for the pleasure of God only and not for the pleasure of one’s own self or his family |

| Miracles are done by God and not by the individual soul (Jeeva). The Veda says that God alone does miracles (Satyakamah…). The logic in this point is that this entire creation is just His will. This world is just the imagination of God. You can do any impossible thing in your imaginary world. In that imaginary world, you can also make somebody who is created by you, to do anything. That somebody is able to do anything only due to your will. Hence, if somebody is doing a miracle … |

| Shri Baba has shown thousands of miracles to the world and even scientists have accepted the truth in the miracles. If this particular miracle was not done, does it mean that all the previous miracles are invalid? Even if this miracle were done, our atheist friends will say that some laser technology was adopted [to create an optical illusion]. Our friends have disposed all the earlier miracles also as magic. When Lord Krishna gave the cosmic vision to the Kauravas, they did not believe it |

| Shirdi Saibaba asked a devotee “Am I not your Lord Krishna?” Let us compare both these incarnations of God. Let us take the beauty of the gross bodies. Krishna was handsome whereas Baba was not so attractive. But beauty is unreal and is not the sign of God. God is beautiful and so Baba is also handsome. |

| Krishna is not counted in the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu as per the verse “Pari Purna Tamah Sakshat….” The Ashtapadi of Jayadeva also reveals the same. Vishnu represents the quality of Satvam. However, if you see Krishna, He exhibited all the three qualities i.e. Satvam, Rajas and Tamas equally. Brahma stands for Rajas and Shiva stands for Tamas. Vishnu stands for maintenance and administration of creation. Brahma is the author of the constitution of creation (Veda). |

| If you convert your religion just for the sake of your liking to Jesus, there is no objection, because liking has no reason. But, if your conversion is based on repulsion to Krishna, I will not agree to it. Similarly, if a Christian is converted to become Hindu due to liking on Krishna, I have no objection. But, his conversion should not be due to repulsion to Jesus. Same God exists in Krishna and Jesus. Krishna and Jesus are like two shirts of the same person with different colors. |

| Why is there so much rush in temples? There is only one reason. People think that if they go to the temples they can escape from the difficulties, which are the fruits of their sins. They also think that they can get some benefits (which are the fruits of good deeds) for good deeds that they have not performed. Obviously this is not true. The scriptures say “Avasyam Anubhoktavyam” which means that we must enjoy the fruits of our good and bad deeds. |

| A temple represents the body of the human incarnation (Deho Devaalaya Proktah). The statue in the temple represents the Lord in a human body (Jeevo Devah Sanatanah). The Gita also says that the Lord enters a human body and comes down to this earth (Manusheem Tanu Maasritam). The Veda says that the Lord can be seen here on the earth itself (Yat Saakshat Aparokshaat Brahma). |

| The atheist says that God does not exist. For him God is nothing i.e., vacant space. This is the first stage. When he sees miracles he becomes a believer in God. He accepts God as some power or energy. The power or energy is also formless, like vacant space. So the concept of God is very close to his previous concept and thus the atheist (scientist) accepts the formless (Nirakara) God very easily. The third stage is God with form (Sakara). In this stage, statues in human form are introduced. |

| Lord Datta preached to Yadu about 24 teachers present in nature. These teachers are natural items like a tree, a river etc. which are similes for the natural qualities of the Lord. When there is a great deal of similarity between a certain natural item and the Lord with respect to a certain quality, we say that the natural item and the Lord are one and the same (in a metaphorical sense). |

| God is the Lord for both Pravritti [path of justice] and Nivritti [path of pleasing Lord]. You have to please the Lord even in Pravritti. If the Lord is not pleased in Pravritti you cannot please Him in Nivritti. The fundamental requirement to please the Lord in Pravritti is to have satisfaction at every step. Contentment with whatever you have will always please the Lord. You must be happy with whatever is already given to you by the Lord and you must always thank Him for the past. |

| There is no village or town in India in which there is no temple of Lord Rama. The statue of Rama preaches two points to you:1)The Lord will come in human form2)Miracles are not the signs of the Lord.As told in the Gita, the Lord comes only in human form (Maanusheem Tanu Maasritam). Even though Lord Rama did not perform any miracles, Hanuman and the sages identified Rama as the Lord. |

| Goddess Durga is the single deity, who includes the three deities, i.e., Saraswati, Lakshmi and Parvati. These three deities are the powers of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Datta is the single deity present in these three Gods. Therefore Durga is the power of Datta. Datta is called Guru. The power of Guru is knowledge. Datta is the only God who creates, maintains and destroys this universe. |

| Making God as the final goal, the devotion to Lord should be done in the theoretical phase as well as the practical phase. Only such devotion is real, and the real devotees are Hanuman and the Gopikas, who should be our guides in the spiritual effort. But very few human beings can attain this level and God says in the Gita that one in millions alone can attain such a state. In this real spiritual path, all items except God are only the means, whereas pleasing God is the final goal. |

| The ultimate goal of life is not anything related to yourself, because it is aimed at pleasing the creator since the original aim of this creation is only the pleasure of the Lord through entertainment. Therefore, the original aim of yourself is only to serve the Lord and please Him. Then, the Lord will bless you with His eternal divine grace and your life is fulfilled. |

| Jyotisham (astrology) is the subject, which relates to Jyoti or planet. The actual meaning of Jyoti is only God. According to the Veda (Param Jyotirupasampadyate) and the Brahma Sutras (refer Sutra Jyotiradhikaranam). Jyoti means light. The planet is like the jailor guiding you to the jail where you will suffer the misery or is like a guide who guides you to a bar, like heaven, where you will drink and sleep. |

| God created this world with happiness and misery, which are alternate cyclically like the spokes in a rotating wheel. God arranged the fruits of good and bad deeds in an alternating manner even though the good or bad deeds may be done repeatedly in sequence. This reshuffled arrangement of happiness and misery resembles sweet and hot dishes in a meal or a movie containing scenes of both happiness and tragedy in an alternating manner. |

| You can see the same love of God on a devoted soul staying in His abode as an angel and also on a he-buffalo enjoying with the she-buffalo in a mud pond. Both are continuously happy in their own fields! At last God provided whatever the child desired. Ofcourse He tried to convert the soul in the he-buffalo into an angel. When He failed in all His efforts, He has sanctioned the firm desire of the soul. Therefore, God helped all the souls, whether those [souls] loved Him or not. |

| God acts as the Father as well as the Teacher (Guru) of any soul. Since God created the soul, He is the Father. But at the same time, He is the teacher who trains every soul to come up in the spiritual path. Generally in the world, the father is different from the teacher. But here, in the case of any soul the real Father and the real Teacher is only one, and that is God. Therefore, God is always kind as the Father and strict and harsh as the Teacher. |

| God created all the souls and has the attitude of a father towards His children. A human father may sometimes show partiality in loving his children. But God always has infinite love for all souls in an equal manner. Even the punishments in the hell are meant for the transformation of the souls from the lower level to the higher level. God always tries to help the soul even if a trace of possibility exists according to its cycle of deeds to justify God’s help. |
