Don't Use Logic to Understand God and Saints

Swami Maheshvarand Ji

राम कृपा तें पारबति सपनेहुँ तव मन माहिं ।
सोक मोह संदेह भ्रम मम बिचार कछु नाहिं ॥

Rām kripā teṁ Pārbatī sapnehuṁ tav man māhiṁ.
Sok moh sandeh bhram mam bichār kachhu nāhiṁ.

- Ramayan

“Hey, Parvati (consort of Lord Shiv), Sati (earlier form of Parvati), not even in dream You can have doubt. You are Supreme shakti (Divine power). You don’t have doubt. You don’t have shok (sorrow) na moha (delusion). You don’t have delusion. I know this for sure!”

तदपि असंका कीन्हिहु सोई।
कहत सुनत सब कर हित होई।।

Tadapi asankā kīnhihu soi.
Kahat sunat sab kar hit hoi.

- Ramayan

You are just doing this for the benefit of the world, of worldly souls. To show what they should not, what we should not do. In other words, we should not use logic, our material intellect.

People read, we read and we think we know. We read Gita (Bhagavad Gita scripture). We read Ramayan (epic of Lord Ram). We read Bhagwat (Bhagavat Puran), I know. We use our material intellect, logic, and we try to understand Divine works.

Parvati, Sati is teaching us - do not use material intellect, do not use logic to understand the Divine work of God, and she also shows us the consequences.

Shankar Bhagwan left Parvati, Sati, because He said She took the form of Sita (consort of Lord Ram), and He worshipped Sita Ma (mother). Just as Ram said, ‘Ma’ to Sati, Shankar Bhagwan also says ‘Ma’ to Sita.

He says, “Sati, You have taken the form of My mother?! I cannot live with You as My wife anymore.”

She got punishment, tremendous punishment. So She shows us also the consequences, what’s going to happen to us if we were to use our material mind and intellect and try to understand Divine work.

People say, “I am a Shiv (Lord Shiv) devotee. So Shiv drinks bhang (a cannabis drink). So I smoke lot of weed, marijuana, and I drink bhang! I am a Shiv devotee!”

“Okay, okay. Shiv drank halāhal vish (deadly cosmic poison). When the ocean’s milk was being churned, the first thing that came out (was) halahal vish. The tiny drop can destroy the whole universe! Do you drink a little bit of ordinary poison”

He is such a great Shiv bhakta (devotee of Shiv)!

Someone says, “I am a Krishna devotee. And Shree Krishna had so many girlfriends. He got married to 16,108 wives. I just have 10 girls!”

Shree Krishna danced on that cobra, that Kaliyanag (serpent Kaliya), who thousand times bigger than any cobra. Do you just go and play with a little cobra!

So we cannot follow the actions of the Divine entity, God and the Saints, rather we have to follow the path the Saints took to reach there.
