the thought of Shaivism that is there we call it just dual opinion, this is the thought of dual opinion there, one is Shiva means from this Shiva then this world happened and from that Shiva, Jeev happened keep in mind, I am not saying the opinion of Vedanta here this is Shaivism, dual opinion, I am talking about that now in this Shaivism, Shiva is all in all he is antaryami (who can know the inner thoughts and feelings), he is Swayambhu Swayambhu means who has neither any father nor mother Swayambhu means who has no birth place Swayambhu means who is manifested from himself whose existence has no other reason like in the birth of a child, father and mother are the reason like for a fruit to happen the reason is seed that from seed tree happened and fruit happened in tree so where action and reason are there, we call it creation and who is beyond action and reason we call him Shiva on whom the rule, the process of action and reason are not applicable we call him Shiva in Sanatan dharma, in Hindu dharma Shri Ved Vyas ji Maharaj wrote 18 puranas now in these 18 puranas, Vishnu purana, Garuda purana, Devi Purana, Ganesh purana and among them is also Shiva purana , so the writer is one for all remember this, the writer is one for all Shri Ved Vyas ji the one who existed during period of Mahabharat and who was born from womb of daughter of boatman but as such 'Ved Vyas' is a post, like Vice-Chancellor or Principal so anyone can be at a post and many can be there that's why only one Ved Vyas has not happened the history of India is so ancient that western people many times are perturbed by listening its History get afraid and then they say this is myth, this is imagination how can this happen? it's not at all true they might have made stories because when they..even if they want to see going way back so if they want to attach themselves with Greek civilization they connect that's why the English language becomes the Roman Italics but it's not older than this the Indian history is so ancient and it is filled with so much symbolism filled with so much coded language that it's not easy that anyone will come up and will understand and will know their meaning also like problem occurs in names like many people think Ved Vyas was one, Ved Vyas was not one Ved Vyas, similarly Vashist Vashist is not the name of one Rishi one Rishi among the seven Rishis is also Vashist ji but Vashist also used as 'Gotra' and used as post also within whom knowledge, qualities, penance, understanding, perception, ______ we have found them being adorned on this post what does the word 'Brahmin' means? Brahmvit Bhawati who knows Brahman and becomes essence of Brahman, he is called Brahmin we get this explanation on Shri Guru Arjandev's Bani Sukhmani where he says, "Pandit so jo mann par bodhai Ram naam atam mai sodhai, Ram naam saar ras peeve tees pandit ke upadesh jag jeeve who is pandit? who has tied, bind, researched ram naam in his atman he is pandit brahman so jo bindhe brahma who is brahmin? who understands Brahma, he is Brahmin who does Purohit karma, he is also Brahmin definitely, it has also great knowledge for that also one does studies for 12 years he must be doing his spiritual practice, bhajan, penance twice in whose life there must be purity, flawlessness, friendship whose intelligence is not in earning money only engaged in attaining knowledge to him we call Brahmin or Pandit through the perception of Vedanta who think body as 'I' and 'mine' he is Shudra listen very attentively who understands body as 'I' and 'mine' he is Shudra who is entangled in indulgence of body, he is Shudra this is one meaning, other is, who is happy serving others he is Shudra, see listening the Shudra word many feels difficulty very difficulty, Oh how did he say like that if you find difficulty, then I am saying when I see here in ashram, when there is time, free time Satsangi have come from far, so I myself go ask in Annapurna, what you are cooking today, what is there in food for everyone okay this is there, this is there, okay bring...let me make then I feel very happy in cooking I cook...What am I doing? who have come for my service, I do their service but I feel so happy in doing that this cleaning is not done, I do cleaning if nobody is seen, I remove the leaves by myself taking broom why? because I feel happy in doing that so when I swept taking broom, at that time I am Shudra when I went and cooked food in kitchen at that time also I am Shudra, I am giving service while giving answer to someone's question when I give spiritual wisdom then I am Brahmin at that time and when someone say wrong then the sword of my tongue comes out, at that time I am kshatriya and when I ask accounts of ashram while sitting so at that time I am only Vaishya so Aham Bramhanaha...Aham Kshyatriyaha Aham Vaishyaha....Aham Shudraha in your body legs are small, hands are big tongue is small, head is big, whom do you say big and whom do say small? neither body nor senses nor mind they have their own karma, they have their respective activities on that basis we use them, there is no question of small and big that's why Brahmin are greater or Kshyatria...Kshyatria greater or Vaishya...Vaishya greater or Shudra...who is greater? there is foolishness in small and big, it's wrong even to discuss if someone says like that, then he is not that understanding person, once Acharya Shankar was coming out after bathing in Ganges with his disciples the streets of Banaras are very small, very narrow so Acharya Shankar was going ahead and his disciples are following now have come after bathing in Ganges from that front street a Chandaal (a person with a profession of killing animals) was coming with that his clothes are also dirty he has put on leather his hair is dirty, he has long nails has never bathed his body from his face filth and dirt is visible his feet are cracked heels are cracked, hands are cracked, nails are grown two dogs are walking along with him saw this person coming in front so Shankaracharya's disciple spoke loudly move back....move back...move back now he was tall and broad as he said move back...move back often it used to happen that when someone some renunciate, some Brahmin that move back, give space... so everyone used to give space but this Chandaal stood more broadly the situation has become such that coming near four steps Shankar ji stops so Shankaracharya sees and making his eyes red... in return first he laughs loudly and then he asks, "from where shall I move back?" say...from where shall I move back? disciples again said, "Give way, move back, move back" Shankar also said, "Move back" when Shankaracharya said, "Move back" then Chandaal said again from where shall I move back?...say from body...from mind...from the inert...from where shall I move back? now a Chandaal who should be illiterate listening such Vedantic words from his mouth Acharya Shankar got stuck and his disciples also were completely astonished...they see who is he...how is he saying? and which language is he speaking? say from where shall I move back? from where you will say to move back, I will move back from there and where shall I go after moving back, say that also and you who is saying me to move back, Who are you? and to whom you are saying to move back, who is he? define...from where shall I move back? now Acharya Shankar sees his face being completely surprised and he calmed his chitta (mind) he relaxed his chitta (mind) and in ultimate relaxation and looked into his mind that whom I am saying to move back, who is he? and Acharya Shankar who studied Vedanta whole life taught, amazing...amazing with whose grace commentary on BrahmaSutra etc who is the giver of so many priceless scriptures, he standing there became contemplative, became silent and in that silence he sees that who is standing in front of me who is he? he was none other than Mahadev himself, who had come taking look of Chandaal by worshiping whom from the womb of this mother from kerala son in the form of Shankar was born his parents were devotee of Shiva after worshiping which Shiva this son was achieved and only in 8 years of age that son had become renunciate in front of that son today Mahadev has come and stood and what a form he has made! and is asking question, "from what shall I move back? say" say from what shall I move back...oh renunciate...make me understand also from body, from mind, from prana, from atma, from where shall I move back? from prakriti, from maya (illusion) from where shall I move back? Shankar while doing darshan (divine vision) of this special form there eyes paused, mind became still and he went into samadhi while standing and when eyes again see outside opening the eyelids neither there is any Chandaal nor there is any body neither there is anyone to ask nor there is anyone to say anything from where shall I move back? when everything is Shiva and Shiva then from where Shiva will move back when everything is Shiva and you are Shiva then from where shall you move back? the thought of you and the thought of me that is there, it's Jeev's it's difficulty of jeev, this is also jeev's problem to whom we say Shiva, time doesn't bind him it's said, he ties the rope of time in his leg which we say Jeev, Jeev is ignorant one and the ignorant jeev is tied, one with whom? with time time means, it has been born at some time and will die some time
