The Principle of Brahma

What is principle of Brahma? How does it exist? How is it born? How does it manifest? And how, it is detached and also attached. The principle of Brahma is different from Brahma itself, in description; like the principles that I follow is different from what I am.

It’s a very subtle subject and requires real meditative attention. ... As the principles on which you are based are different from what you are, in the same way, the principle of Brahma is different from the Brahma itself, but is the Brahma and contain(ed) in the Brahma. But the Brahma itself is sustained by the principle. In dimension, you may say that Brahma is wider, larger and, you can call it, even deeper. But the subtler is the principle.

This principle exists with Brahma at the beginning of the universe, of creation. At the very beginning it exists, but as it is an eternal play of creation, destruction, sustenance, , and in Sanskrit we call it Stithi, state of performance, you can call it. In all these three stages, Brahma principle changes, according to the container that it has. Like here the light looks like, the shape looks like, outer shape of the globe that is covering it. Looking like is the maya, is the illusion. Something that looks like something which it is not; this phenomena is the maya, is the illusion. So the principle acts, pulsates the Brahma and in the Brahma exists all the powers which later on manifests the creation.

So the principle which is the Divine Power, the aura of that, or the thing that is sustained is the complete Brahma and that Brahma has got three powers, namely, one of existence, second of creation, third of sustenance. The principle is the pulsating power of the Brahma. And it is represented as Om. When we say Om, is used also in the Christian prayer as Amen, is the same as Om, there’s no difference. When we say Om, actually the action of this principle in the form of Om, like this, which is written on your forehead, if you can see, inside, in that way here.

This principle is the, you can say, the foetus, this principle is the foetus of the Divine Power. Then the same principle, or you can call the seed, then it divides into three channels and enters into the creative, sustaining and the existing power of the Brahma Tattwa and manifests it. We haven’t got any , but it permeates; just like the river flow and permeates in the soil and nourishes. In the same way, this principle of Brahma flows, permeates, pulsates and nourishes the surrounding area of Brahma. ...

So now people think then, “What is God?” Question comes in. Where is God, what is He, what has He got to do with Brahma and the principle that is Brahma. God is the principle. He is the attention, He is the joy and He is the truth. And the Brahma that surrounds it is His power permeated, enlightened by His . The same Brahma has got the capacity to get itself transformed into the creative, sustaining and the, you call it, existing or destructive powers. We can see a small little thing, how it manifests a tree; we never think from where does the tree come out, from where does the root comes out, what creates the flowers, what gives it the fragrance for the seeds to not have an effect. But there is definitely a mechanism which is very microscopic inside the seed placed there. And seed is the form where there is no movement, no manifestation, no creation. In the same way Brahma can be in seed form.

So the sustaining power within us or the creative power within us, or, what you call, the destructive power or the left-side power which we call as the , is the existing power. All these are manifested by principle of Brahma but by themselves they are not. So Sat Chit Ananda, the truth, the joy and attention. The nature of Brahma which is this, is God.

Why, what is Shakti then, the question comes. The Shakti is the complete Brahma plus the power of God. ...

The essence of Brahma is the Ganga Tattwa as in the Sanskrit it is called as the Ganga Principle. From here we have to understand that is the first principle and that is the principle of innocence. That is the principle of holiness, that is the principle of chastity within us, that is the principle by which we preserve ourselves, by which we respect ourselves. That principle has been incarnated on this earth, as I’ve told you, He’s created as Ganesha but He incarnated as Jesus Christ. He’s the Brahma, He’s detached and that’s why He could be resurrected. No other incarnation could be resurrected; He was not born, it was a conception, desire. And that’s why He was resurrected; you all perhaps do not know. ...

This is the principle of Brahma which is detached. The principle of Brahma is detached, that acts and takes away the interest, the interest goes away, the attention goes away. You’re not bothered about it. This principle cannot be overcome. It is the principle itself. It cannot compromise, that’s the point, being absolute. Absolute things cannot compromise. ...
