RELIGION AND REALIZATION By DIAMOND PICKED UP IN THE STREET

Iswarcoty Nityasidha

B. Next to Avatar is Iswarcoty Nityasidha.

These Iswarcoty Nityasidhas are also Daivi men, but they are not Avatar.

Daivi is one from whose body the soul emanates spontaneously, but not in full measure. They come with Avatar to help him in his mission. But these people do not get God manifested in their body in the five sheaths as depicted in the Vedas. Some of these people realise Godd without any form – Akhanda, and some with various form – Uchu Sakar.

Akhanda is entire – i.e. God without any form.

Uchu Sakar is to realise and see God in various forms and thereby the seer understands that one God appears in various forms.

“The body of Narendra (Swami Vivekananda) is so built that he realises God without any form”.

¾Sree Ramkrishna.

“The body of Rakhal (Swami Brahmananda) is so built that he sees God in various forms.”

¾Sree Ramkrishna.

Kripa Siddha

Kripa Sidha is he who sees God through sheer grace of God. There are two stages of these people. The first condition is to get God-the-Preceptor. God-the-Preceptor, when first seen, is an unknown human form. You never saw the man before. He is made of God’s light. He speaks. He teaches. You never expected to see him as you do not know the A.B.C. of him. The soul, emanating from the body, has assumed that human form. It is His sports and it is His grace to you. But you do not know how it has happened. You are simply filled with bliss and wonder. Of course, all the processes will be known to you in course of time. “A room has been kept in darkness for a thousand years. A light has been carried there in the room. The room is illuminated in the twinkling of an eye.”¾Sree Ramkrishna.

The second condition is¾ “God will appear before you and tell you about your realisations. Then you shall know that your realisations are correct”.¾Sree Ramkrishna

Your own image comes out from your body, stands before you and says to you, “you are blessed with the grace of God”.

Your thinking that you have got God’s grace is a misguiding imagination. God must be seen and realized, and then He must be speaking out the thing to you.

Hathat Sidha

Hathat Sidha is to see God and to get His grace in an unexpected and unthought of condition.

Sree Ramkrishna was aged eleven years only. It was in his native village. The temple of the goddess, Vishalakshi (lit: the big-eyed one) was situated on the other side of the meadow attached to his village. The ladies of the village were on their way across the meadow to worship the divine mother on a special occasion. He accompanied them. While on his way in the meadow, he saw a light and swooned. He was God and went into Samadhi (got himself transformed into God). The occasion was something unheard of and unthought of for a village lad of eleven years.

Kripa Sidha and Hathat Sidha are of akin and alike nature. Unexpected and all on a sudden, God-the-Preceptor comes and gives his grace to you. Even at the time you do not know that he is God-the-Preceptor: you do not know who he is or what he is. You never saw him before. He is in human form but he is made of light. He speaks. You are simply amazed with awe and wonder.

A man is passing by in a public street. He sopped and picked up a diamond Manik. Such is the state of Hathat Sidha.

The man who has picked up the diamond is fully conscious of it. But this does not end here. The diamond itself gives publicity. God will reveal the thing to a friend in a dream. He will come to you and tell you. “Well, I have seen that you have picked up a diamond”. And again to corroborate the dream of this friend, another friend will see a dream very akin to the first dream. You do not know that he has seen the dream, but he will approach you and tell you. “Yes Sir, I have seen that you have picked up a jewel which does not know any value”. The second dream establishes the publicity in full measure.

The simile, given by Sree Ramakrishna in case of Hathat Sidha, represents the whole picture of transformation of life-power to God in the body.

“The rich man” ¾ is God with a form.

“To get the daughter in marriage with the poor man” “Bhagawati Tanu” ¾ is the form made of the emanated God’s light in the body. A daughter is born of you.

The daughter has come our from your body. Here also the Bhagawati Tanu will be seen both inside the body as well as in the outside. She is the daughter of the rich man-God. Thought the daughter has come out from God, yet she is your wife. She is your companion for ever.

“House”¾ It is a seven-storied hous (body). Each floor has got a plane. There are seven planes.

“Furniture”¾ is realisations as seen in each plane.

“Car”¾ indicates motion¾the motion of the life-power. Life-power is Kundalini and can be seen in the body. She was seen by Sree Ramkrishna. She looks like a serpent made of light.

“Seevants”¾ All the senses become your servants. Thus you get control over them.

“Maid”¾ Maya or the body becomes your maid. It means you get full control over your body.
