In Sat Yug, Tretaa
Yug and Dwaapar Yug, country, village and family are also the partners of sins
and Punya done by an individual; but in Kali Yug, only the doer has to enjoy and
suffer for his Punya and sins. The
secret of Bhaagvat Dharm is known only to 12 people - Brahmaa Jee, Devarshi Naarad,
Bhagavaan Shankar, Sanat Kumaar, Kapil Dev, Swaayambhuv Manu, Prahlaad, Janak Jee,
Bheeshm Pitaamaha, Raajaa Bali, Shukdev Jee, and I (Dharm Raaj). Whosoever does
not win Kaam (lust and desires), Krodh (anger), Lobh (greed), Moh (intense
love), Mad (pride) and Matsar (intense pride) - these six enemies, he has to do
many Karm in spite of his unwillingness to do any Karm." Adharm is of five types -
Vi-Dharm, Par-Dharm, Aabhaas, Upmaa, and Chhal. Whatever action is done with Dharm and wisdom, but still
hinders his own Dharm is called Vi-Dharm. When somebody else tells the Dharm to
somebody else is called Par-Dharm. Paakhand is called Updharm or Upmaa.
Misinterpretation of Shaastra is called Chhal (deception). When a human
being accepts an action of another Aashram with his own will that is called
"Aabhaag". Thus everybody should do his actions according to his own
Varn and Aashram
and nature. Upanishad say - "This body is
like a chariot, Indriyaan are horses, Man (mind) is rein, all pleasures are paths,
wisdom is the driver, 10 Praan are Dhuree (axle), Dharm and A-Dharm are two
wheels of the chariot, and Jeev is the rider. Omkaar is the bow of the rider, Jeev is
arrow, and Paramaatmaa is the aim. So control this chariot, take the Gyaan sword
from Guru and destroy all your enemies, and leave this body to join Paramaatmaa." There
are three types of A-Dwait - Bhaav-Dwait, Kriyaa-Dwait, and Dravyaa-Dwait. As
the cloth is a form of thread, in the same way action is also cause. Thinking
unity in all is called Bhaav-Dwait. All Karm, done by mind, speech and body,
are done in Paramaatmaa only, thinking thus is called Kriyaa-Dwait. All people's
aims and pleasures are the same, so not discriminating between own and others,
is called Dravyaa-Dwait. [Yayaati to Devayaanee] Dear,
all kinds of materials, grains, gold, animals, women cannot satisfy a man who
has limitless desires. Enjoyment of pleasures does not satisfy desires. [Sanak Jee says to Naarad
Jee in reference to Ekaadashee Vrat] [Yam Raaj says to incoming
people in his kingdom] Naarad
Jee asked - "You told me that who donated land etc they enjoy the
fruit of that donation till thousands of Kalp. And then you told me that
in Praakrit Pralaya the whole Universe gets destroyed, so tell me that
do the Punya and Paap of Jeev not finish by Pralaya time?" Sanak
Jee said - "It is only Hari who creates the world in the form of
Brahmaa, maintain it in the form of Vishnu and destroys it in the form
of Shiv. When Pralaya is over, Hari takes the form of Brahmaa and create
the world as before. Whoever was wherever in the former Kalp, he is
created there itself in the new Kalp, so a Jeev has to bear the fruits of
his Punya and Paap. After Pralaya, whatever fruits of his Karm remain,
he bears it in the next Kalp. No Karm is destroyed even in millions of
Kalp without bearing its fruit. Thus one has to bear the fruit of his
good or bad Karm." Sanak
Jee said - "Aatmaa (soul) is of two types Par Aatmaa and A-Par Aatmaa. Par
Aatmaa is Param Brahm and is Nir-Gun; and A-Par Aatmaa or A-Par Brahm is said to
be "with Ahankaar" - Jeev Aatmaa. To know them as one is called "Gyaan
Yog". Sanak Jee
told Naarad Jee a story of hunter, in which the hunter wanted to kill a priest
of a temple, he said to hunter - "Whatever is to happen, will happen; and
whatever is not to happen, will never happen" who thinks in this way, they
never worry about anything." There are 8 Aatm Gun
- (1) Dayaa, (2) Kshamaa, (3) Ansooyaa, (44) Anaayaas, (5) Maangalya, (6)
Akaarpanya, (7) A-Sprahaa, and (8) Shauch. Who has these Gun or characteristics,
he goes to Swarg. One should be silent
at the time of - (1) going on the road, (2) doing sex, (3) excreting, (4)
brushing teeth, (5) taking bath, and 6) eating food. One should leave the
following 7 things - (1) re-donating the thing one has already donated, (2)
Prithakpaak, (3) drinking water with Ghee, (4) drinking water with milk, (5)
drinking water in the night, (6) biting nails, and (7) drinking very hot water. One should not pluck
flowers for worshipping after taking bath, because these flowers are not good to
offer Bhagavaan. If water, or straw,
or ash, or door or path are in between, then there is no Pankti Dosh. A Braahman is never
attached to sin by doing Ved prescribed Karm, and a woman is never attached to
sin by coming into contact with a Vyabhichaaree (men who go to many women or a
womanizer) man. If a woman has been raped, or is spoiled by falling in the hands
of an enemy, she should be abandoned till her next menstrual period. A woman is
clean after her menstrual period. When Soorya sees a
Braahman taking Sanyaas, he is shaken thinking that this Braahman will pierce my
Mandal (region) and will attain Par-Brahm. Fasting, Vrat, Snaan, Teerth and tap
- all give fruit, but they are completed bby a Braahman and give fruits to
people. "Pranav" (Aum) is
Par-Brahm Param-Aatmaa; Praanaayaam is the only Tap; and there is no Mantra
greater than Saavitree (Gaayatree) Mantra. Before Som, Gandharv
and Agni - these three Devtaa used to enjoy women. Later human beings started
enjoying them. So women do not get attached to sin by this. If any other Varn
man impregnates a woman, the woman is A-Shauch (unclean) till she sees her first
menstruation after the delivery of the child. Our all senses (Indriyaan) are never satiated from enjoying their subjects and mind (the 11th sense) asks for more and more. It has three taste buds - greed, attachment and the ego. One should be aware of it and away from them. Two Shankh (conch shell), two Chakrashilaa (Gomatee Chakra), two Shiv Ling, two Ganesh idols, two Soorya idols, three Durgaa idols should not be worshipped in one house. This harms the family.
