In this field
people want God only. Their aim is the permanent association with the God and
not the temporary results in this world. They never care for the worldly
justice. They don’t care for their body or family bonds. Their concentration is
always on God. Here the justice is also crossed. Prahlada did not care for his
father’s death. God came directly and fought with the enemy in his case.
Gopikas left everybody and everything for the sake of Lord Krishna. He
liberated them in this world itself. God in human form was required by Gopikas
and not by Arjuna. Gopikas wanted to see, touch, talk and live with the God. The Lord came in the
human form as Krishna for the sake of Gopikas
only.
Arjuna wanted
only the power of God to protect justice by getting back the kingdom.
Therefore, Arjuna worshipped statues like Siva Lingam and energetic body like
Siva. Lord Krishna was an instrument for Arjuna in achieving his kingdom. The
aim of Arjuna was kingdom and not Krishna. But
in the case of Gopikas the aim was Krishna and
not anything else or anybody else. They crossed even the traditional justice
and ran to Brindavanam to dance with Krishna.
They were unable to live for even one minute without Krishna.
In this field of Nivrutti the Lord comes down in human form and donates Himself
to the devotees. Such human form is called as Datta.
In this field
the Lord has all the three aspects of Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra. He shows
Sattvam of Vishnu, Rajas of Brahma and Tamas of Rudra. In this field He gives
troubles when you worship Him. Troubling a devotee unnecessarily is Rajas and Tamas.
In this field only the real love on God is proved. When God troubles you after your worship and
if you are unable to leave Him still then that is real love. Thus single face
Datta (Vishnu) is for Pravrutti and three-faced Datta is for Nivrutti.
God acts
according to the field you choose. In Nivrutti only He protects you from hell and takes
you to His eternal abode. In this field only He attracts the evil effects of
His real devotees and undergoes sufferings to save His devotees. Here the attitude
of God is not logic and justice but only pure love. But real
devotees oppose this. Therefore, He undergoes the bad results without their
knowledge. The God circulates the information regarding Pravrutti and Nivrutti
to everybody so that nobody can blame Him later on for their ignorance. Except
the motto of information He is not having an intention to attract the people
into Nivrutti. He is not benefited in any way by doing so. All the benefit is
only for the devotee.
The person following the Pravrutti always scolds the Nivrutti. The
reason is that he is unable to catch God directly in Nivrutti and therefore,
discourages that field with jealousy. When he is unable to succeed in that field he
does not want anybody to succeed in that field. He wants to close that field
and wants that his field only to remain. Such psychological jealousy is not
good because God will punish him. Even though he is incapable he should
appreciate others and in such case God will help him to come to Nivrutti.
In nutshell God
helps in Pravrutti with sympathy only and such help is only in the apparent and
temporary rearrangement of your good and bad results. In Nivrutti the fruit is
permanent and real and God really loves the devotees.
If you are
unable to follow Nivrutti, please be in Pravrutti atleast and never become an
atheist. You try constantly to follow the Nivrutti. You might have not reached
the goal, but you have left your station. Only a person who is always limited to Pravrutti
should worry. The attitude towards Pravrutti or Nivrutti comes from the
accumulated Sadhana done in several previous births. Such a person turns
spontaneously towards Nivrutti and the association of Satguru is only
accidental. In the pearl shell one raindrop fallen becomes the pearl. Even if
100 drops fall on mud pond, all the drops become mud water only. Therefore, the
deservingness of the devotee due to previous Sadhana is the most important
factor and not the close or long association with Satguru.
One may sit on
the seashore for several hours but he has only a small tumbler in his hand. He
can take only a tumbler of water even after sitting for several hours on the
seashore. A fellow may come with a pot but he takes a full pot of water in 5
minutes. The
Satguru rains His divine knowledge on all the people impartially so that He
should not be blamed later on. The knowledge is essential like the rain, but more essential
is the deservingness of the devotee that developed based on his sincere
spiritual efforts for the past several births continuously (Purva Janma
Samskara).
