Video Transcription:
In this vast universe, the entire humanity emerged from God's will. God is the sustainer and in turn, humanity merges back into Him, the primordial source.
Humans breathe the same air that they exhale. Likewise, the thoughts emerge from humans; they transform these thoughts into action, they tread along the path of these tendencies, and finally, they absorb all these tendencies within them.
The universe which is the manifestation of God’s will is called Vishwam.
The correct meaning of ‘Vishwam (Vis + Vam)’ is - that which is self-expansive and that which is self-blissful. This is the correct meaning of expansion.
Humans are behaving against the reason, purpose of this universe for which it is created by God.
The universe is not merely the combination of physical matter and material. It’s entirely the manifestation of the cosmic personality of God.
The entire universe represents the combination of the cosmic personality, the body of God.
Universe stands for ‘Viveka’- sense of discernment, and ‘Vistaara’- a sense of vastness.
Infact, God is beyond reason and time.
The material world has got some reason and rationale, but not God's will.
God is the primal cause behind creating this universe.
The universe is the reflection of God.
The creation and the creator are not separate.
‘Vi’ means that which has got this kind of expansiveness, full of discernment.
‘Su’ refers to the form taken by God.
Infact, the entire creation constitutes the very limbs of God’s body, and this form is only called the ‘Universe’ and undertakes His work.
Throughout this physical world, the universe, we find five components - the existence, awareness, bliss, name and form.
The first thing we should know is that which is eternally true, comprising the three principle at-Chit-Ananda (Truth-Awareness-Bliss).
Based on these three principles, the remaining two aspects of form and name are given their function.
Human actions are the reflections of name and form.
It is God’s will that decides how a specific name and a form should conduct itself.
Some of the beings are covered by the emotional aspect of life (Rajasic qualities) and other beings are covered by inertia (Tamasic qualities), and live in hatred and jealousy.
We carry on our life sojourn based on the name and form of the Divinity that we created for ourselves.
We have forgotten the first three components - ‘Sat, Chit, Ananda’ - existence, awareness, and bliss.
Humankind has been delighting itself only in name and form, ignoring the ‘existence-awareness-bliss’.
The name and form are artificial, temporary, and not permanent.
They are never true for all times.
They represent falsity and that which is momentary.
We go by this falsity, that which is momentary and temporary, ignoring that which is eternal, permanent, and Truth.
This leads to a situation where we have forgotten the mighty power of God.
God wills from the navel of His body to create everything, and hence is called 'Nabhitrushnudu'.
As His will emanates from His navel, God is also called Padmanabha.
The reason is, this lotus flower represents His will and the Divine thought that arises out of His navel.
It is also the place of origin for Hiranya Garbha.
As He has got the gold in Him, He is called Hiranya Garbha.
God dwells by the name ‘Nenu’ ‘I’ in everyone. So He is given the name ‘Vastudu’.
This term 'I' is omnipresent.
This ‘I’ has got a higher title.
These are all the names given to God by humanity. God has no specific name designed by Him.
As God (Brahma) emerges from the lotus flower (from the navel of Vishnu), He (Vishnu) is given names like Padmanabha, Hiranyagarbha, Hiranmaya.
Various names were given based on several other reasons.
The spiritual path is meant to explain clearly, the inner significance of the Divinity that takes several names and forms based on the time and reasons.
Spirituality is given to humankind so that the inner Divine feeling and interpretations would be experienced by humanity.
Humans are not understanding the depth of the spiritual path.
People are limiting spirituality to rituals like offering prayer and worship.
