Murkha Raj: I will require a cup of water to quench my thirst, an oven to cook my food, some apple, mango and grapes to satisfy my hunger and shade of a full-grown tree to take rest. Jnana Dev: Why do you not utilise the water in the atmosphere, the heat in the wood and the shade of the tree that is in the seed? Can you do this? If you cannot use these things that certainly are in the Nirakara form for your immediate necessities, how then do you propose to realise the Nirakara God, when you want solace, peace, happiness as an immediate necessity? Therefore, you now find the necessity of the worship of the Sakara form of God. It may be Siva, Rama, or Krishna. Murkha Raj: Thank you, Swamiji. I am very much indebted to you. Now I am satisfied of the necessity of the Sakara form of worship for men and I will do it from today. But one question more. Is the Nirakara Svarupa of Rama and Krishna different from the Rama and Krishna who were born in Ayodhya and Mathura? Jnana Dev: No, certainly not. Both are the same in essence, only you will find it, say, to fix your mind on the Sakara Rama or Krishna. Murkha Raj: How do you say that both are the same? Jnana Dev: Why not? Rama and Krishna were not born like ordinary men. They came into existence of their own free will to do good to men in their times and to be models of behaviour of all the future generations. Ordinary people take them to be born of necessity, but sages and Rishis alone knew their real Svarupa. Murkha Raj: But how did they have their identity with their Nirakara Svarupa while they were Sakara forms in this earth? |
