Shrimad Bhagavata MahapuranaSynopsis of the Fourteenth SessionBhagavata Tritiya Skanda (Book Three)Chapter 10 to 13 (Continued)—————————————Swami Mukundnandaji had a very lovely story to tell. He said one day there were two mice, sitting and talking to each other, when they heard a cat meow. One of the mice got so scared and said;Mice one - Lets run away, run for your life.Mice two - Don’t worry stay put, I know a foreign language.Mice one - What ??Mice Two - Bhaw Bhaw Bhaw BhawHearing this, it was not the mice, but the cat which ran for its life. The mice had a great laugh.Moral of the story is knowing a foreign language is very essential. The moral of the story is - Don’t Run Away.In the spiritual path also there are 4 major types of languages, which are used to understand ’That’- Vaikhari Vani (Expressing in words)- Madhyama Vani (Words use in our mind in the process of thinking)- Pasyanti Vani (Thought in the form of flashes and not words)- Para Vani (Beyond any form of words and thoughts - you just know it, feel it and understand it)We all makes attempt to understand and explain in the various ways, but The Eternal can be understood only in Para Vani. All the others are mere attempts to ignite the spark. Beyond the words, you reach the Sat Chit Anand. Hence, the knowledge of scriptures is passed and gathered with the help of ‘Para Vani’ due to which, the element of distortion in eliminated and what reached is pure unadulterated ‘Gyan’.The knowledge of our scriptures and that ‘Divine’ is ‘Dynamic’ and not statics. You walk in faith and then you have an experience, with the experience your faith increases and with the increased faith you have deeper experiences, and the understanding becomes better, with this your faith becomes stronger. It goes on.In others words, you start walking with Bhakti and you get Gyan (true Knowledge), with more Gyan, your Bhakti increases and with increased bhakti more Gyan comes. This a point in time when Bhakti and Gyan merge.In our scriptures we will see that many topics are repeated again and again after a certain duration. Cause every time on the journey our understanding will become clear and deeper. The same scripture when picked up again, after a period of Sadhana will reveal more hidden messages. So the key is to Keep Walking in Faith.—————————————‘All Creations of God stretch Infinitely,All Times, Past, Present and Future,Worlds imagined and unimagined..Everything that Can be,Everything that Cannot be, All exist somewhere..Beyond this world are myriad worlds,And beyond all worlds,Is the One that is Eternal..’——————————————‘EVERYTIME the Lord exhales, a Universe emerges from EACH of his body pores and with EACH of His inhalations, ALL these Universes merge BACK into His body! The multiple universes generated are floating, and they are scattered all over the Karana Ocean (Causal Ocean).If ever there is a Grand description of God in World literature, it has to be this one! How infinitesimal and tiny our entire existence appears to be if we humbly give thought to this notion. Our entire lifetimes are nothing, not even a fraction of a second for Lord Maha Vishnu!’This magnificent act as we see it, is nothing but a mere shadow, in the flood of the divine light.’——————————————Points to PonderQuestions: 1. How many oceans are there?2. How many types of Vishnu?3. Which Vishnu did Brahma of the universe come out from?4. How Big is our universe?Answers:Note: Pls refer to the pictures Galaxy and One universe- There are three types of ocean as we understand it so far - The Karana (causal) Ocean, the Garbhodak Ocean and the
