money in treasury engage it
|
You can understand the Supreme Brahman... Simply understanding Brahman will not give you satisfaction. Simply understanding aham brahmasmi, this will not... Suppose if you have got money, and you are aware that you are very rich man. So simply thinking that you are very rich man and you see your money in the treasury, you'll be happy? No. When the money is utilized in so many ways for your gratification, then you are happy. Similarly, simple understanding aham brahmasmi, this realization, will not make you happy. You have to utilize his Brahman's position. That means bhakti. This is called santa-rasa, simply to understand aham brahmasmi. This is called santa-rasa. You must develop further. That is called dasya-rasa, to become the servant of the Supreme Brahman. Then further advance. Simply to understand that "I am Brahman" will not give you...
(More...) Just the same example: it is very easy, that if you simply understand you have got much money... Just like we are trying to purchase land, but purchase land means I must have money. So money is there. So why I am not happy? Why I am trying to purchase land? To utilize the money. That is required. Every businessman has got money, enough money. But why they are active in the business circle? They are going to the market, share market, this market. Utilize the money. The same thing: simply to understand that aham brahmasmi... Therefore they fail. All these so-called sannyasis, simply understanding aham brahmasmi, "I have become now Narayana," not giving them satisfaction. But because they have no information about rendering service to the Para-brahman, they come to again to this material field to render service, to open hospital, to open school, to feed the daridra-narayana, and in this way they imagine, because they want activities.
