experienced untruth as truth. We have, therefore, mistaken 'asadhu' for
'sadhu'. This body was not before it came out of the womb of its mother. It
will not be after death. At the age of 16 it is not what it was at the age of
5. At the age of 50 it is not what it was at the age of 16. Our experience of
five years is not the same as our experience of 16 years, and our
experience of 16 years is not the same as our experience of 60 years. The
Truth Absolute was before everything else came to be. He would remain
when everything else would cease to exist. Parameshwara is 'Satyam
Param' the Truth as He is, not a thing of mental conception.
Parameshwara should not be supposed to submit Himself to be reduced to
any shape or form which the whims of different human minds might wish
to reduce. Him to Meditation is not possible unless we are blessed with a
sight of Him as He is. Therefore, the meditation talked of in the first sloka
of Srimad Bhagwat, which is really an index to all that follows in that book,
is not a mere affair of imagination or speculation. Let us not engage
ourselves in a mere mimicry of meditation. We, in our present bound
state, do not know anything about the affairs of the transcendental region.
Parameswara is Adhokshaja, i.e., He has reserved to Himself the right of
not being exposed to the senses.
We should not look for a possibility of comprehending Parameshwara by
means of our crippled senses and puppy brains. The Vedas say so.
nayam atma pravacanena labyo
na medhaya na bahuna srutena
yam evaisa vrnute tena labhyas
tasyaisa atma vivrnute tanum svam
But Parameshwara has His eternal servitors. If we try to understand those
servitors sincerely we can understand something about Parameswara.
Sree Krishna says this to Arjun in Srimad Bhagawat Gita-
ye bhajanti tu mam bhaktya
mayi te tesu capy aham
(Gita 9/29)
The bhaktas are in Me and I am in My bhaktas. Sreemad Bhagawat also
says the same thing.
janasya krsnad vimukhasya daivad
adharma-silasya suduhkhitasya
anugrahayeha caranti nunam
bhutani bhavyani janardanasya
(SB 3/5/3)
