Today, I will try to enter into the great personality – KRISHNA! See, Krishna is the
Poornavatara. You should understand from the context why I am saying he is Poornavatar.
He can enter into your multi-layered thinking. Please understand, a person like Shakuni!
Krishna is a personality who never gives up on people, even those who are hypocrites!
He continued, continued.....till the end he did not give up. Please understand, till the
last day of the War, Krishna’s army was fighting for Duryodhana, you need to know,
the fellow who ordered Krishna’s arrest! See, when Krishna went as an ambassador, as
per the dharma, Hindu dharma, an ambassador cannot be arrested or harmed. I think, all
these laws, Hinduism created them first: how to interact with other countries. But Duryodhana
crossed that law and ordered Krishna’s arrest. Krishna used his power to save himself; that
is secondary. Duryodhana goes to that extreme! But even to Duryodhana, Krishna does not say
‘No’ when Duryodhana comes to Krishna for help before the War! Actually, this Duryodhana
coming to Krishna for help happens after Duryodhana orders Krishna’s arrest and Krishna saves
himself! Even the multi-layered people, the hypocrites who behave one way here, one way
there, even the multi-layered people, Krishna didn’t give up on them. That is why I am
saying he is a Poornavatar.
It is not that I have only Vidhura and Pancha Pandavas around me; I have enough of Duryodhanas
and Shakunis, multi-layered people. But it is because of Krishna and his inspiration
that I don’t give up; I continue to handle, handle, handle, I tell you. Krishna has set
a trend for enlightened beings and incarnations. The ethics of enlightenment, the etiquettes
of enlightenment, behaviour, how it should be, Krishna has set a trend.
Krishna did
not say ‘No’ to Duryodhana. But he knows the multi-layered personalities will always
be stupid. Understand, when you handle different things of your life, if you miss your Integrity, naturally with the whole life
you will miss Integrity. And you don’t understand that when you miss Integrity with the whole
life, you will desire stupid things! Understand, the worst curse given to human-beings is having
desire for stupid things! You don’t need to destroy somebody; if you make him have
desire for stupid things, that is enough; he is destroyed! If somebody likes stupid
things, you don’t need to destroy him at all; his desire towards stupidity will destroy
him!
Please understand, when you are not integrated with life, the curse life gives you is, it
makes you like stupid things in your life. I tell you, I have always seen, when you start
being disintegrated to life, you may think you are successful. No! You will start liking
stupid things which will bring your destruction. See this Duryodhana! He started liking stupid
things! And he was ready to give up his life for stupid things! And Krishna said ‘Thathaasthu’!
What is the need for bringing Draupadi and pulling her dress, which is not required?
Okay, if you want the kingdom, go and take it, and send the Pandavas out; let them go
to the forest. It is actually Draupadi’s Vastra Apaharana (disrobing of Draupadi),
that incompletion only caused the whole War. Otherwise, the War would not have happened.
I have also seen, when people start liking stupid violence, stupidly they are going to
utter words, stupid words, stupid abusive behaviour, I know they have started destroying
themselves. But, unfortunately, no teaching of Krishna, Duryodhana was ready to listen
to, or Dusshasana was ready to listen to. When you start liking stupidity, the Master’s
words do not enter into you; that is the worst problem!
The worst thing that can happen to a human-being is liking stupid things. The worst thing that
can happen to a disciple is the Master not being able to tell directly what he wants
to tell to him, because of the way he behaves. If the Master is not able to tell you what
he wants to tell, then no one can save you, no one can protect you. The Master is Cosmic
Life Insurance, understand! The Master is Cosmic Life Insurance! Krishna was not able
to tell Duryodhana because the way he behaves with Bhishma’s advice! I tell you, liking
for stupid things and uttering stupid words, behaving in a stupid way, is the self-destructive
component of you. It is like a cancer! Nobody is required to kill you, destroy you! Nobody
else is required to destroy you!
Krishna, the most powerful incarnation, the most complete incarnation, the Poornavatar,
he did not give up even on Shakuni! Can you understand? Embodiment of Stupidity, Shakuni,
he (Krishna) did not give up on him! Hero is a person, whether you like him or hate
him, you cannot avoid him.
I tell you, Krishna is the greatest hero who happened on Planet Earth. People of his time
either liked him or hated him, but cannot avoid him. Liked him or hated him, but cannot
avoid him! What an amazing personality! When I try to enter into Krishna’s personality
and explain, I feel like I am standing in front of the Himalayas!
The whole of Hinduism is only these three: Ganga, Gita, Gayatri. That’s all! The essence
of the whole of Hinduism is these three only – Ganga, Gita, Gayatri. Gayatri is the Upanishad,
embodiment of the Vedas. Ganga is the geography of Hinduism. Gita is the lifestyle of Hinduism.
That’s all! Ganga, Gita, Gayatri. In these three, Krishna’s contribution is one-third
– the Gita. But lifestyle itself is not just one-third of us; it is 99% of us!
Krishna, it is not that he was supporting only the Pandavas; he was supporting Duryodhana
also as Duryodhana wanted. And, whatever Duryodhana asks, for that he said ‘Thathaasthu’!
His story is one of the powerful success stories of an incarnation. Not even one line can be
edited! He has not missed a single thing! He has completed everything, everything for
which he happened! Embodiment of Completion! Amazing ability to play with multi-layered
personalities! People abuse Krishna, saying that he is cunning, he was so cunning. No!
Krishna was not cunning! He is the embodiment of Love! He was never cunning, he can never
be cunning. He was able to handle multi-layered personalities. His ability to handle multi-layered
personalities and not giving up on them...!
It is not that even the Pandavas were completely listening to Krishna; many times they did
not listen. He has to struggle, convince them. He organized everything, giving up his own
life. At the last moment, when the War is about to start, this fool Arjuna is saying,
‘I am not going for the War!’ It is like for years I train you and finally put you
am not going to take Inner Awakening!’ If you had told me that first, I would have trained
somebody else! Anyhow.....! I have decided I myself will do.
Krishna, what a personality! He was able to handle simple beings, as simple as the Gopikas.
And he was able to handle complicated beings, as complicated as Shakuni. As simple as the
Gopikas, and as complicated as Shakuni, for both he stood as a great “Thathaasthu”.
When the Gopikas approached with a simple, beautiful, innocent romance, love, he said,
‘Thathaasthu!’. When Shakuni approached him with a multi-layered complication, violence,
abusive nature, stupid behaviour – it is Shakuni who instructs Duryodhana, ‘Arrest
him!’ – he was able to handle even then.
Every character in the Mahabharata teaches so much! Actually, you don’t need to go
to study human psychology to any other country, any other book. See, if you want to learn
about business, if you want to learn about human psychology, if you want to learn about
the best lifestyle, if you want to get enlightened, for all these purposes, if you want to learn
administration, you don’t need anything other than the Mahabharata! Just Mahabharata
is enough! Study each character. I tell you, you will not find any more characters than
described in the Mahabharata in your life! Any character you see in your life is mapped
to Mahabharata’s one character. All the characters you see in your life are either
half or full representation of some character in the Mahabharata. To know how to handle
them, just see how Krishna handled them; handle them the same way. Even if you want to handle
yourself, see how Krishna handled. How he knows where violence should be used, where
anger should be used, where peace should be used. He was able to speak into the listening
of the listener. He was able to speak into the listening of the listener. Listen! Ability
to speak into the listening of the listener! Causing everyone’s reality! Krishna was
the embodiment of causing everyone’s reality. And he was the embodiment of the ability to
speak into the listener’s listening.
This great book, Mahabharata, I can say this book is a Kalpataru! Again and again and again,
you should read this book to understand the intricacies of life, the complications of
life, and the ability to handle. If you see Mahabharata, that is the physical visual presentation
of the Gita. All the principles explained in the Gita are portrayed in the form of characters
in the Mahabharata. It is like if you take a movie of all the principles I am teaching
– Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility and Enriching – it is exactly the same.
All the principles Krishna is teaching in the Gita, the Mahabharata is a movie of those
principles. All the principles he is teaching in the Gita, the Mahabharata is like a movie
of those principles.
Krishna is an amazing personality. He knows what should be told to whom in what way. He
speaks the great truth – Bhagavad Gita – in the center of the war-field. But you should
know, very funny thing, only three people heard! Krishna, Krishna spoke, Arjuna heard,
Bhishma heard, Sanjaya heard; that’s all! Nobody else other than these three! Nobody
else other than these three! And he makes Dharma speak, Yudhishtira speak as very secret,
‘Ashwatthama dead!’ Only Drona heard, nobody else heard! And that also, Dharma (Yudhishtira)
didn’t directly tell Drona; but as if he (Dharma) is speaking to somebody else and
Drona overheard! Krishna knows what to speak to whom and who should be overheard. Drona
is thinking as if he got a very valid, important information, State secret about him and his
family! Krishna knows what message to give even to spies. Krishna will speak exactly
what he wants, what message he should send to the opposite guy if the opposite guy’s
spy is sitting next to him. What a play!
I tell you, after reading Krishna, his works like Gita and Anu Gita...! Krishna has opened
his mouth to give the essence of life five times. Five times he opened his mouth. All
the five teachings and his whole life, I tell you, anybody who reads his life and his five
teachings will enjoy his whole life as a Leela! Somebody among my sannyasis, I will call “A”
and tell him to go and tell to “B”; but that lesson is for “A”! I will tell him,
‘Go and tell this to B’; but that lesson is for whom? It is for “A”! All this you
will enjoy and learn only if you read Krishna. Only if you read Krishna, you will enjoy all
this.
With all this, his tremendous compassion and not giving up on people! He could have been
like Rama, black & white – either you beat him black and blue, or give up, go. Krishna
was not like that. I tell you, his compassion was unimaginable! Even the worst layered personalities
he was only saying, ‘I won’t give up! Let me play the same game, but I won’t give
up on him!’ I tell you, he is the most honest Insurance Agent. See, all incarnations are
insurance agents of life; but at one point everyone gives up. But nothing like Krishna
who never gave up!
Remember very clearly, whenever I am sending some message through you to others, it is
for you! It is only a sealed letter which is for others. If it is an unsealed letter,
it is for you and the other person! I tell you, if you decide honestly, ‘I will only
be a catalyst for causing people’s reality’, your being will become so vast, you will be
able to play this game, you will be able to play this Leela! I have decided with all my
sincerity, completing completely with myself, that I will be a cause for everyone’s reality.
I tell you, immediately the huge space and the ability to play this beautiful game happened
in my being! I tell you, just decide sincerely, authentically, ‘I will be a cause for people’s
reality’; you will become Krishna with the space of Krishna, and the tools Krishna had
to play this game, everything will happen in your life!
If people come to him as simple as the Gopikas, he lives with them as simple as Radhakrishna.
If people come to him as complicated as Shakuni, he plays with them as complicated as Gitakrishna.
I tell you, whether he is Radhakrishna or Gitakrishna, he does not give up on people.
He does not give up on people! Shakuni’s intention is not to make Duryodana king, be
very clear. His intention was to destroy the Kuru Vamsha! And Duryodhana was also loving
this destruction! Duryodhana loves his destruction; that is self-destruction. Duryodhana was very
clear, ‘I may die, but I will not give up!’ It means what? You have already made the first
statement, ‘I will die! I will not allow Pandavas to live!’ Then what to do? You
have made the first statement. Krishna says, ‘Thathaasthu!’ The Pandavas say, ‘We
will live!’, and then Krishna says, ‘Thathaasthu!’ Aligning everyone’s statement and giving
a huge “Thathaasthu!”
I can go on and on and on about Krishna. Most complicated personality and most simple personality!
I can put it in this way: Most complicated personality and most simple being! He is more
innocent than Mahadeva, Bhole Baba. He is the most complicated personality. I am not
even comparing in “complication” Krishna with anyone else. At least, in “innocence”,
I can compare him with Mahadeva. In “complication”, I can’t compare him with anybody; he is
unmatchable!
I tell you, having Krishna’s inner space is “enjoying life as Leela”. Having Krishna’s
inner space is “enjoying life as Leela”. I tell you, when you bring sincerely into
you, just bring this one decision, ‘I will be a sincere cause for everyone to realize
their reality. I will be a sincere cause for everyone to realize their reality. I will
be a cause for everyone’s reality. The work I do is for them. If I build a house, it is
for them. If I get married, it is for them. If I buy a car, it is for them. If I start
a business, it is for them. If I get a child, that is for them.’ Anything you do, be very
clear, causing others’ reality is the goal, is the purpose, is the context. That will
heal you so much, I tell you!
The most hurting emotion in life is violence, whether you carry it towards you or others.
And the most healing emotion in the world, or the truth in the world, is being a cause
for others’ reality. The greatest poison in the world is violence. The greatest medicine
in the world is being a cause for everyone’s reality. The greatest “amrita” (nectar)
in the world is being a cause for everyone’s reality. Ganga, she is just a cause for everyone’s
reality. That is why she is “amrita”. She is the “amrita kumbha”, “amrita
kalasha” (nectar pot) because she is just a cause for everyone’s reality. If you just
decide, ‘Let me be a cause for everyone’s reality’, suddenly you will see so much
of healing inside you! Such a vast space happens to you! See, this
vast space means ability to handle any situation and courage to do anything. You will not be
tired at all. You will
have the ability to do the “poorva paksha”, the initial steps, again and again and again.
Anybody who retains his ability to retain his enthusiasm and start anything again from
scratch, is a Leader. If Bill Gates retains the ability to do a start-up now, intense
enthusiasm and excitement to do
a start-up now, he is a Leader. I know he is retaining it. Even after you become a billionaire
– becoming billionaire does not make you a leader – ability to retain that intelligence and
interest to be a beginner! That will happen in you only when you have a large “Krishna
space”. This is the greatest blessing you can have in your life.
So, sit, meditate on Krishna, Kalpataru. Decide sincerely, authentically, you will be a cause
for others’ reality, you will be a cause for others’ reality. Sincerely, with Integrity
and Authenticity, decide you will just be a cause for everyone’s reality. NamahShivaya!
