Lord's devotee will get the power to understand the real truth

CHENNAI: Where does one look for god? Bhagavan says that even the gods and rishis cannot know him easily. “I am the cause and they are the effects.” Devatas represent the power of action and maharishis stand for the power of knowledge. The nature of consciousness cannot be understood by action. It is only by divine grace that the truth can be understood. Man is not punished for his ‘sins’ but he is punished by his ‘sins’ declare the scriptures.  In Hinduism the concept of ‘sin’ is not a frightening picture of some horrid inevitability. 

Knowledge of the self is liberation from the reactions or paapa which forces one into the cycle of birth and death.Lord Krishna says the manifold manifestation of himself is the vibhooti and his power is yoga. A lump of gold is yoga whereas ornaments are vibhooti. Krishna says “All in me is yoga and myself in all is vibhooti.”

Listing out the vibhooti of himself, Krishna says the devotee who worships him with love is given the power of discrimination between the truth and untruth.  Bhagavan gets us with fastened seatbelts on a roller-coaster ride of the universe.  He begins with the self.  I am that self in all.  One does not have to change the world, instead change the vision — the attitude and mind. See the glorious majestic things, but do not attribute that glory to the particular object. Spiritual vision is all inclusive.

Nothing can exist without the Lord. “I am existence. Wherever you see the glory, beauty, power, knowledge and virtue, that is me alone” says Bhagavan..”
