Enter into Atam Gyana

A spiritual discourse on entering the state of self-knowledge (Ātmā Jñāna).

"Lead life as it is, but never make negative thoughts. All living beings are myself, and myself is the supreme one."

"Enter into Ātmā Jñāna through love. Without that love, you cannot enter into Ātmā Jñāna."

The speaker explains the concept of Ātmā Jñāna, not as a physical entry but as a state of consciousness achieved through love and the transformation of negativity. Using analogies like the philosopher's stone, the talk describes the combination of truth (Sat), divine consciousness (Chit), and bliss (Ānanda) as the path to self-realization. The importance of a spiritual guide, vegetarianism as an expression of non-harm, and constant reflection (manana) on one's human duties and divine nature are emphasized.

Recording location: Croatia, Umag, Weekend seminar

Ānandoham. As soon as you enter into Ātmā Jñāna ... What do I mean by entering Ātmā Jñāna? We enter this hall; we know we are in the hall. We go to the park; we know we are in the park. We jump into the ocean; we know we are in the water. We enter into a bus, a train, or an airplane. What does it mean to enter into Ātmā Jñāna? Should we close our eyes to enter Ātmā Jñāna? Should we pray and pray? No. Lead life as it is, but never make negative thoughts. All living beings are myself, and myself is the supreme one. There is one stone called Pāras. When you touch the Pāras stone to iron, immediately the iron turns into gold. If anyone tells you negative things, immediately you turn these things into the divine thing. Then it means you are in Ātmā Jñāna. If someone tells you negative things and you say, "Oh my God, devil," then you are in the devil; you are not in the divine. So, enter into Ātmā Jñāna through love. Without that love, you cannot enter into Ātmā Jñāna. That love is Brahmānandam, the supreme love, Ta Bojanska Ljubav, Ānandoham, Ānandoham, Ānandam, Brahmānandam. Sat-chit-ānanda. At that time, in front of you are three pictures: Sat, the truth. The sun is the truth, and when the sun rises, light appears and the darkness from everywhere disappears. So when you realize the truth, all gossip, all negative talk, all kinds of anger from others disappears. Have a heart, a big heart. Do not judge immediately. Do not judge without knowing the situation. If you judge, that means you are in ignorance, and for that, you will be sorry. Where there is truth, there is everything forgiven. Anything you throw in the fire, it will burn. It means everything will become pure. Chitta—consciousness, divine consciousness, God consciousness. That consciousness is in everyone and everywhere. And ānanda—bliss, happiness. When the combination of the three comes—truth, consciousness, and bliss—that is when you enter into self-realization or Ātmā Jñāna. And that is coming into your heart, Anāhata, without limitation because God is unlimited. The entire universe is unlimited. We are limited ones with our individual knowledge, but with our Ātmā knowledge, we will become also limitless. To achieve this, you have to do many sādhanās. You have to follow the Guru Vākya of Mahāprabhujī. Many Indians are speaking to you about this. Many people go to India to see and search for some guru. Many find one, many cannot find one. Many go to smoke hashish. They think that is the best master and that they have much energy. That is not good. When you see Mahāprabhujī's picture once and you read the Līlā Amṛt, and still if you do not understand, nowhere will you find in the world anymore. So what you should do is remain on your spiritual path faithfully. The Anāhata Chakra is the center of the self. And the self means love. That is why it is said, "God is love and love is God." When you have that love, then it means that God appears in your heart. And God gave life to a pig also. You cannot kill a pig, and if you kill, God was not in your heart; God will not do this. Therefore, in yoga, it is said the first thing is that you should become vegetarian. Vegetarian means fruit, vegetables, and some leaves—vegetables—not to destroy the whole plant. Human life is very mysterious; human life is a divine life, but human life is not easy to master. Millions and millions of people are confused in human life. You remember what I told you yesterday: to do a few points for Anāhata awakening. I am human. What makes me human? What does it mean to be a human? And what are human duties? What is my mission, my dharma, and what is the ātmā? That you have to make manana. Manana means constantly thinking. Recording location: Croatia, Umag, Weekend seminar
