O Lord, I have a great doubt, a great confusion. Please do your best to show me how I can remove it. Tell me that story in detail. Introduce me, please. Who is that Rāma? Upon this request and question from the ṛṣi Bharadvāja Muni, the great Yājñavalkya smiled. There are different kinds of smiling. He smiled. Muni Bharadvāja, you know the glory of Rāma. Though you are a knower, you are becoming as if unknowing, and you are asking me about Him. I know you are a great bhakta of Rāma; in your mind, in your speech, and in your deeds, everything is completely dedicated to Rāma. And you are asking me, "Who is that?" I think I understand your cleverness. I understood how clever you are. Though you know all this, still you want to know more about Him. When you love someone, you ask people, "How is he?" or "How is she?" Again and again, one will tell, and it is very fine; you ask another one, you ask her, you ask one more, because we cannot get enough of the beloved one. The more you hear about him or her, your heart becomes stronger and stronger. So the more you hear about God, you will become stronger and stronger. Therefore, the ṛṣi Yājñavalkyajī smiled and said, "Ṛṣi Bharadvāja, you know everything. I understood your cleverness. That is why you ask me such a question. You ask in such a way, like one who is completely in ignorance." That is how to draw something out. It is something like a secret police question; they know everything, but they ask you again once more. You know very well, especially in your country. Tāt sunau sādr manu lājī, kahū rām ke kathā sunājī. Mahāmohu mahiṣeṣu viṣālā, rām kathā kālī kākrālā. O my brother, O my friend, my dear one, listen with concentration, with respect and adoration. I will definitely tell you the glory of God Rāma. Ignorance is something very great. It is like a great Māheśa, a great Rākṣasa. And the glory of God Rāma can remove that ignorance, which is a very dangerous Kālī. The glory of God Rāma is like the light of the moon. There is one bird, a night bird, which enjoys the moonlight. It is a small white bird, like what you call an owl. But there is another one, a small white one. The whole night he is constantly gazing at the moonlight. He gains love, the light, the radiance. So God Rāma is that moon. And the saint, the bhakta, the śānta, the yogī, they are like that bird; that whole night they are nourished by that. But the same kind of doubt Pārvatī once had; then Śiva explained to her in very great detail. And Śiva explains everything in great detail. Now I will tell you something according to my knowledge. I will tell you the dialogue between Umā and Śiva, Pārvatī and Śiva, which removed her doubts. So listen now, and you also will be able to remove your doubts, and you will realize peace in your heart. Thank you. Recording location: Czech Republic, Strilky, Weekend seminar
