mayā tatam idaṁ sarvaṁ
jagadavyakta mūrtinā
matsthāni sarvabhūtāni na
cāhaṁ teṣv-avasthitaḥ
By Me, the entire Universe is pervaded in My formless form. All beings are based in Me, but I am not in them.
POWERFUL COGNITION
The whole universe is pure intelligence, not dead matter. It is not an accident
न च मत्स्थानि भूतानि पश्य मे योगमैश्वरम् ।
भूतभृन्न च भूतस्थो ममात्मा भूतभावनः
॥ ९-५ ॥
na ca matsthāni bhūtāni paśya me
yogam aiśvaram bhūtabhṛnna ca
bhūtastho mamātmā bhūtabhāvanaḥ
And yet everything that is created does not rest in Me. Look at My mystic powers! Although, I am the Creator and Sustainer of all living entities, I do not depend the Cosmic manifestation; for My Self is the very source of all creation.
POWERFUL COGNITION
We need to understand that the whole universe is intelligence. This intelligence responds to our thoughts
यथाकाशस्थितो नित्यं वायुः सर्वत्रगो महान् ।
तथा सर्वाणि भूतानि मत्स्थानीत्युपधारय
॥ ९-६ ॥
yathākāśasthito nityaṁ vāyuḥ
sarvatrago mahān tathā sarvāṇi
bhūtāni matsthānīty
upadhāraya
As the mighty wind, blowing
everywhere, always rests in eternal
space, all beings rest in Me.
POWERFUL COGNITION
Just as the air rests in the space, our being, the whole universe including our being, we all rest in the Divine. Krsna says, ‘All beings rest in Me.’
सर्वभूतानि कौन्तेय प्रकृतिं यान्ति मामिकाम् ।
कल्पक्षये पुनस्तानि कल्पादौ विसृजाम्यहम्
॥ ९-७ ॥
sarvabhūtāni kaunteya prakṛtiṁ yānti
māmikām kalpakṣaye punas tāni
kalpādau visṛjāmyaham
O Kaunteya (son of Kuntī), at the end of every age all beings merge into Me, at the beginning of every new age I create them again.
POWERFUL COGNITION
When Krsna says, ‘All material manifestation enters Me,’ He means, it enters the universal consciousness. Everything we see and feel using our senses is part of the universal consciousness.
प्रकृतिं स्वामवष्टभ्य विसृजामि पुनः पुनः ।
भूतग्राममिमं कृत्स्नमवशं प्रकृतेर्वशात्
॥ ९-८॥
prakṛtiṁ svāmavaṣṭabhya
visṛjāmi punaḥ punaḥ
bhūtagrāmam imaṁ kṛtsnam
avaśaṁ prakṛtervaśāt
The whole Cosmic order is under Me
and My material nature creates the
beings again and again, and it is
controlled by My material nature.
POWERFUL COGNITION
Once we understand everything is a mirror image of our own self, we become enlightened
INTRODUCTION
It is time to reveal the secrets. Krsna starts: 'By Me, in my formless form, this entire universe is pervaded. All beings are in Me but I am not in them.'
Before entering further into this verse, the meaning of the verse should be understood. I want to tell you about my meeting with Charles Townes, a Nobel Laureate and a great scientist. He discovered something related to LASER and MASER. I asked him, 'How did you discover? How did this truth happen in your being?" He answered, 'Swamiji, to tell you honestly, I was relaxing in a park in Washington. It was early morning, about six a.m. I was supposed to give lecture on this subject to a group that day at nine a.m. I tried my best to recollect everything. I was completely frustrated, because I could not achieve much. Suddenly like a revelation, as an intuition, the conclusion was revealed to me! The whole truth came into my consciousness. I discovered it! I immediately penned down what I got.'
And he says, ‘I then realized I had a difficulty: I knew the conclusion, the truth, but not the steps! I didn’t know the logical steps to arrive at that conclusion! So after that, I needed to think and develop the logical steps. Only then could I present it to others. Like an intuition, suddenly, it happened. It had been revealed to me.’
Actually, even this experience is not a big thing. The truth, the important thing is this: I asked Charles Townes, ‘How did you feel when it happened to you, when the revelation happened to you?’ Because what he experienced was intuition just as our sages experienced.
He said, 'Swamiji, I don't know how to exactly express those things; however, one thing is certain: from that moment onwards, I know for sure that the whole universe is intelligence!'
This is the truth! The whole universe is pure intelligence, not dead matter. It is not an accident. It can respond and react to our thoughts. This is an important and basic understanding. The moment we understand that we are inside the energy that is intelligence, we immediately settle into a deep relaxation
Yoga means achieving.
Ksema means protecting or
preserving. Both are miseries.
Whether we have or not, it is
misery. Krsna says that the
miseries of having wealth
and not having wealth, both
disappear by knowing this
secret. This is the ultimate
secret that needs to be
understood. Knowledge of
this secret liberates you.
This does not mean that we just sit and relax and say, 'Okay, the universe is intelligence. It will take care of everything.' This is laziness and escapism. We still must do what we need to do. We should still work; however, we can enjoy the process. You see, we think of the results all the time and never enjoy the process of doing that work. When we enjoy the process and trust the universal intelligence, thoughts of fear and greed will disappear. We will let the universe take care of the results. Krsna says elsewhere, 'You do what you have to. But surrender the results to Me.' When He says 'Me,' He refers to the universal consciousness or intelligence.
This is what Krsna means in the
next verse when He says that the
beings do not depend on Him,
nor does He depend on them. Of
course, it is clear that the
universe does not depend upon
us, yet, how can He say that we
do not depend upon the
Universe? What He means is this:
it is not a passive and lazy
dependence of letting everything
happen while we sit idle. It is an
active understanding.
One does what one must do as
part of his life process but
without attachment and
ownership. One way or the other,
we are in this universe. Because
the universe is intelligence, it
responds to our thoughts. It
makes things happen. Since we
are part of this universe, just flow
with the energy of the universe.
If this understanding penetrates our life, it is enough! If we know the universe is intelligence, we never question how life unfolds. We don't say, ‘I am moral. But I see people who don't live morally living luxuriously. Yet I always suffer!’ We never have these frustrations because we know the cosmic intelligence will take care ultimately. Whoever is immoral will naturally face the consequences, because intelligence takes care. In the same way, if we are honest, integrated, and living a spiritual life, we will live a beautiful life.
Don’t think the cosmos is just matter. If we think the cosmos is matter, we are materialistic. If we understand that the cosmos is intelligence, we are spiritual. The only difference between the materialistic and spiritual person is that the materialist thinks the whole thing is material. The spiritual person understands that the whole thing is energy.
When we understand this, a
tremendous relaxation and bliss
consciousness happens to us.
Understand that bliss is not just a
mood. It is our very
consciousness. One devotee
asked, ‘Bliss comes and goes,
what to do?’ I explained, ‘You
are having initial glimpses of bliss.
Through your mind, you are
trying to touch the bliss. Just
relax, that’s all.
Once we understand this secret,
a deep relaxation happens to us.
In such a deep relaxation we
straightaway experience bliss
consciousness. Krsna says, ‘By
My formless form, this entire
universe is pervaded. All beings
are in Me.’ He speaks of cosmic
intelligence.
GOALS:
To help the child cognize that
the whole universe is
intelligence.

WORKSHOP OF THE DAY:
VAAKYARTHA SADHAS
PROCEDURE:
- What are the things that you wanted that happened for you. For example, your dad and mom got you things you wanted or did things the way you wanted them.
- List all the incompletion you have. If you have any shrinking or disturbing emotion then we need to complete with it. Complete instantaneously all the list of incompletions in front of the group.
INFERENCE:
Connect them to the topic "The whole world listens to you when you project your reality out of completion". You always feel it is a remote possibility in your life, if at all it is possible – which is not true. Creating your reality is a science. Declare that you are complete inside and out of that completion, project and see what you want becoming a reality.
WORKSHOP OF THE DAY:
VAAKYARTHA SADHAS
CONCLUSION:
Review the lesson and see how it teaches us how to use our thoughts to relate to the intelligence of the universe in creating your own reality. We need to understand that the whole universe is intelligence. This intelligence responds to our thoughts. When we imbibe this, then we naturally experience a deep peace. As long as we believe the world is material, we create more and more violence because we live materially. Materially means that we must snatch from others. Only a person who experiences, who understands that the whole thing is energy, intelligence, only he can relax. The moment we experience, we understand that we are under the guidance of an intelligent energy. We don't need to struggle or stress ourselves.
