Like air is present in the space, all beings and all elements are present in me | Shiva, The Fourth State Of Consciousness
*Chapter 10 - Shiva, The Fourth State Of Consciousness*
*Day 48*
"Like air is present in the space, all beings and all elements are present in me." Here "me" doesn't mean the Krishna who was standing with a flute. He is talking about his true nature that is Brahman.
Unfortunately, people limit Krishna as a personality. There is no difference between Krishna and Shiva. Shiva is Krishna without body. Krishna is Shiva embodied in a body. That's all.
There was nobody like Shiva with jata. It is just symbolic. Shiva is the fourth state of consciousness. When Krishna was asked by Arjuna to repeat the Gita, Krishna says, "no, I cant tell you now."
After the war is over, Arjuna asks, “At the time of war, you gave me all the knowledge, when there was so much chaos and I was not in a good mood or state of consciousness. I kept questioning you all the time and didn't believe you”.
“I was such a fool, but now we are free and relaxed. Why don't you tell me the Gita once again?” Krishna smiled, "No Arjuna. At that time, it was something else that spoke through me. At that time what I spoke, I cannot repeat. That was spoken by a consciousness."
Lord Krishna tells Arjuna, "If you want to win the war, then you have to pray to Lord Shiva. Just go and chant "Om namaha shivaya" and strengthen your spiritual body, your inner body.
After chanting he got the pashupatastra. Arjuna chanted "Om namaha shivaya." Astras and shastras, are all weapons and called the kavach, the armour. The armour is not just putting metal around your body.
Even the mantras are called armours because each mantra can help you. The consciousness covers you like an armour, uplifts your spirit and doesn't allow your mind to sink. That is why these chantings have a specific, very powerful effect on environment and on the consciousness, both on the individual and on the mass.
How many of you have not been to India? If you go to India, you will see people are not so fascinated by the ocean. Nobody goes and bathes in the ocean or sun-bathes. In any other country, in Europe or America people love to be on coast line.
Do you know why? It is because the coast line has more prana. The deva energies are in the water element in the ocean. Whereas in India, because of the mantras being chanted for 1000’s of years, the vibration is right in the island.
So, you feel as though you are in ocean even when you are on an island. You don't need to go to the ocean to feel the special energy, because the land has that energy already. Especially when this chanting is happening, there is much more.
Many times when people arrive in the ashram, they suddenly feel a shift all tiredness and that jet lag is gone. How many of you have experienced this after coming to Banglore Ashram?
So, just by coming and sitting there, people feel the shot in energy, just because chanting and mediation is happening and consciousness is lifted. It is as though you went to the beach.
That energy is built there. But those beaches where they have been using drugs or too much alcohol. That depletes this positive energy. In some beaches where lots of psychedelic drugs have been used you don't feel the same.
But at pristine, plain, clean, pure beaches you get that feeling. So, one has connected himself with this true nature, the Brahman, every creature and everything element falls in love with him.
