512. “Please, don’t be saying so. It rests with personal taste and also it depends upon the capacity of the stomach to digest. A fish is brought and the mother cooks variously suiting the stomach of her children. For some she cooks pilau, but it is only for the strong stomach. For children with weak stomach is fish soup. Again, fried fish for some and pickled fish for some”.

Personal taste and capacity – They bespeak mental inclinations – the effect of the previous birth; it may be it may be compared with intuition.

Stomach – innate capacity of the body.

Fish – Atman.

Mother – gross human body.

Cooking – the process of yoga.

Children – the whole human race.

Fish pilau – the realization of the Vedanta.

Fish soup – emotional and devotional religion of the Dravidian and Semitic cultures – known as Bhakti.

The saying of Sri Chaitanya should be remembered – “The soup of the cat–fish”.

Fried fish – The rational way of thinking and discussion for attainment of Knowledge – Jnana-swarup (Form) Brahma.

Pickled fish – It is realization of Rasha (ambrosia).

Bhava in Ascent becomes Rasha in Descent. The cerebrum has got thousand-petal lotus but abdomen (the berth of Rasha) has a million-petal lotus. Life Power rises in the seventh plane and it comes down in Descent to the abdomen. It is seen by others. The outward manifestation is that the body swings right and left. In other words, it is demonstrative. Both Sri Radha of Vrindavan and Sri Chaitanya of Navadwip had this Rasha. Ramprasad says in his song, “He whose body swings in ecstasy is seated on the lap of Mother”.

Our experience has taught us that the above program chalked out by Thakur for various kinds of people of different categories is changed now. The Mahayoga has done away with the previous rules and bindings of the past era as ‘Diamond’ is seen by one and all irrespective of any bar. Everyone has got strong stomach and belongs to the same category and there are no different categories as specified in the metaphor. The music goes on in one tune and that is – “All is One” in the spiritual world. Man is Brahma and there is no other else. It is so evinced by the Mahayoga.

13. “The Rishis (sage of the past) pursued Knowledge (Jnana)”.

It is the Aryan culture – spontaneous evolution of the Life Power.

“Siva is coming out piercing the earth”.

508. “The typhoid will be cured”.

When a man thinks that he is body made of flesh and blood he is a typhoid patient in delirium.

When God-the-Preceptor will show you God in the cerebrum and merges into it, then the sense grows that you are not flesh-and-blood-body and you are cured. It is the only remedy.

509. “He is the master of His will”.

Everything takes place spontaneously and not by exertion. It is the fundamental principle of the spiritual world and the mystery of the human life.

It is Vidwat and not Vividisha.

It was so endorsed by the Rishis in the Upanishads and it so stands now.

“A leaf of a branch on a tree flutters in the breeze as it is so willed by God”. – Sri Ramkrishna

510. “A holy man (Sadhu) must be far away from woman”.

It is a warning to the holy man. This Individualism in the Vividisha is so stiff and one-sided.

But in Universalism the question of woman does not arise at all.

Thousands of women see ‘Diamond’ within their own bodies and it announces that in the spiritual world there is no man or woman but ‘Diamond’ – God alone. With God no question of male or female arises.

511. “There all drown”.

Yes, it is an idea in Vividisha where self-mortification rules supreme. It has its origin in the non-Aryan and Dravidian religions. In Vividisha self-mortification has taken the place of renunciation. Self-mortification and renunciation are identical. This renunciation of the Sanatan Dharma or the Aryan religion comes spontaneously. God manifesting in the body will conduct the life of the aspirant in such a way that the question of woman will never arise.

No woman folk comes to ‘Diamond’, but they see Him without coming; it is simply to announce the greatness of the Mahayoga as it was unknown. Yes, it speaks how puissant is the Mahayoga.
