ENLIGHTENMENT ON SHRI VIDYA
True Knowledge Cannot be Replaced by False Knowledge
O Learned and Devoted Servants of God,
The infinite power of attraction of My knowledge is the truth in it and not My efficiency in the presentation. One type of false knowledge may be replaced by another type of false knowledge. But, the true knowledge can never be replaced by any type of false knowledge. That is the infinite power of the truth. The first adjective for knowledge is truth as said by the Veda (Satyam, Jnanam). A rope may be seen as snake for sometime and may be seen as a stick after sometime. Both snake and stick are false. Therefore, the snake may be replaced by stick or vice-versa. But once the rope is seen, it will never appear as stick or snake since truth can never be replaced by false.
Today, the spiritual field is fully occupied by concepts of false knowledge. The false knowledge is maintained by the preachers so that the disciples can be exploited forever, who will be in their grip throughout their life time. Once the true knowledge is opened, the disciples are in better state than the preachers. Hence, the preacher never likes the exposure of true knowledge. In fact, after a long time, the preacher also is not aware of the true knowledge. Even if the preacher knows the true knowledge due to the contact with a Satguru (true preacher), the preacher resists the true knowledge because of his constant immersion in the convenient false knowledge.
Let Me explain all this concept with the help of an example to show how the misinterpretation rules over the right interpretation. Today, people talk about their worship of Shri Chakra. The mention of this word raises the dignity and status in spiritual field. This word brings lot of respect from the public. The reason is that the present time favours only the misinterpretation and false knowledge of this concept. The actual meaning of Shri Chakra Upasaka makes other feel that he is a devotee of very high level. The actual meaning not caught by anyone is that, this word means a strong devotee to money! The word ‘Shri’ means money and wealth. The word ‘Chakra’ means the constant circular attraction in which one is trapped like a person unable to come out after being caught in the whirlpool of a river. Money is the root of all the worldly bonds. If the bond with money can be cut, all the worldly bonds spontaneously break. Salvation means the liberation from all the worldly bonds. By such salvation only, one can approach God.
A bonded person cannot move and approach anybody. Since money is root bond, the liberation from the attraction of money is the liberation of all the worldly bonds. After such liberation only, one can approach God. It is the top most bond. The first five Chakras represent the five elements the constituent materials of the creation. Attraction is the process of mind representing the Sixth ‘Ajna Chakra’ and the four functional faculties (mind, intelligence, ego and memory) at this level are called as the four internal instruments (Anthahkaranams). The five elements and the four Antahkaranams constitute the main hurdles (Nava Avaranams) of the Shri Chakra. Above these six Chakras stands the ‘Sahasraara’ meaning infinite number of apartments represented by petals of the lotus flower. Thus, Shri Chakra is Sahasraara. This is the root illusion (Mula Maya). These apartments indicate various aspects of this world. This means that money is the root illusion related to by supporting any worldly aspect. Here, the word thousand means many. Hence, if you are able to detach yourself from money, you have crossed all the hurdles standing in the way to reach God. Therefore, the Veda says that by the sacrifice of money alone one can reach God (Dhanena Tyagenaikena).
Therefore, the actual subject is to cut the bonds with all the worldly attractions, which is completed by the final process of cutting your bond with money. Since money is the final, the only examination left over is money. Therefore, the Veda used the word ‘only’ (Ekena). When you passed all the lower examinations and only one final test is remained, you will be using the word ‘only’. The word ‘only one’ is used to mean the final level. To explain this concept more clearly, these worldly bonds are compared to wheels or whirlpools. These wheels stand as a simile to help better understanding of the truth. In course of time, due to encouragement of exploiting preachers, the simile is modified to metaphor in which the confusion is very convenient. In simile, we say that Rama is a king, who is heroic like a lion. This is the state of simile used in the beginning. In metaphor this statement is compressed and modified as ‘Rama is the lion’. After sometime, the word Rama is left over as the name of lion only and the human being disappeared. Now, the word Rama does not bring any human being to your mind since it brings only a lion from the forest. The exploiting preacher says that Rama is his close friend. You understand that the preacher is a good friend of a lion. Now, you will ask him the way to make friendship with a lion.
The preacher prolongs the duration of training to achieve this result to your whole lifetime and collects fees throughout your lifetime. You will never achieve the result because it is only simile, which has no truth. The actual subject never comes up and hence, the exploitation is lifelong.
Similarly, if one understands the total subject of Shri Chakra, it is only to cut the bond with money. Several disciples already detached from money are in higher state than the preacher. This is not desirable to the preacher and hence, continues to maintain the false knowledge. If the preacher says to sacrifice the money so that the disciple can cut the bond with money, after sometime, the sacrifice may be stopped when the disciple says that he has achieved the result. On the other hand, the preacher says that an invisible wheel or Shri Chakra exists in the brain, which is seen by him; the disciples serve the preacher throughout their life since the non-existent wheel can never be seen by anybody.
