Difference Between Pooja (Worship) and Sadhna|| Part-C
We will break his jaw if someone will dare to fight." Sage Chunak, who was
a worshipper of Kaal Brahm, said, "O Soldiers! I accept the battle
with your king. Tie this horse with the tree adjacent to my hut." The
soldiers said, "O Pauper! You do not even have anything to eat.
How will you fight with King Mandhata? Do your bhakti. Why are
you calling for misfortune to befall you?" The sage said, "I will see
whatever happens. Go and tell your king that Sage Chunak has accepted your battle." When the king learnt about it, he thought, "Today one poor sage has dared, tomorrow someone else will dare. One
should nip the evil in the bud." To scare the public, to kill one person, the king divided the army of 72 crore soldiers into four squads.
First he sent a squad of 18 crore soldiers to fight with the sage. The
worshipper of Kaal Brahm, Sage Chunak, with his (siddhis) super-natural powers made four missles, that is, he made four nuclear
bombs. He released one missile which destroyed the army of 18
crore soldiers. The king sent the second squad. The sage released
another missle. In this way, the worshipper of Kaal Brahm, Sage
Chunak, destroyed the army of 72 crore soldiers of King Mandhata.
Please think: - Rishis-Maharishis (sages) should not interfere
in affairs of kings. The reason is that the sages chanted 'Om' mantra for thousands of years for the attainment of God. They did not
attain God because in Gita Chapter 11 Verses 47-48, it is written
that Brahm cannot be attained by the way of worship mentioned in
the Vedas (four Vedas - Rigved, Yajurved, Samved, and Atharvaved).
Therefore, (siddhis) supernatural powers appear in the sages by this.
Due to ignorance, they considered this meander only as the achievement of bhakti. As a result of which, despite doing bhakti, they did
not attain that state (place), having gone where, one does not have
rebirth because they did not find a Tatvdarshi Saint. It has been
mentioned in Sukshm Ved that: -
Kabir, guru bin kaahu na paya gyana,
jyon thotha bhus chhadey moodh kisaana |
Guru bin ved padey jo praani, samjhe na saar rahe agyaani ||
Garib, bahtar kshoni kha gaya, Chunak rishishvar ek |
Deh dhaarein jaura firen, sabahi Kaal ke bhesh ||
Meaning: - Because of not finding a Tatvdarshi Saint, the religious practice that worshippers perform is an arbitrary practice against the injunctions of the scriptures, by which a worshipper does
not obtain any benefit. There is evidence in Gita Chapter 16 Verses
23-24 that - 'O Bharat! A worshipper, who abandoning the injunc-
tions of the scriptures, performs arbitrary practices, attains neither
happiness, nor siddhi (supernatural powers) and nor salvation. Therefore, scriptures only are the evidence for you in determining which
religious practices should be performed and which should not.
Without a Guru i.e. a Tatvdarshi Saint, whether one keeps reading Vedas, or even learns them by heart, one remains unknowledge-
able. Like the Brahmins in the past used to cram the mantras of the
Vedas. He who used to learn the mantras of all the four Vedas was
called Chaturvedi. He who used to learn the mantras of three Vedas
was called Trivedi. But because of not knowing the profound mysteries of the Vedas, those sages despite cramming the Vedas re-
mained unknowledgeable. It is stated in Sukshmved that: -
"Peeth manukha daakh ladi hai, oont khaat babool |"
The meaning is that in the olden days Manuka raisins were transported on camels through deserts. The camel used to carry delicious Manuka raisins on his back and himself used to put his mouth
in the thorny acacia tree and eat acacia leaves. Without knowledge,
all the sages used to roam around carrying the Manuka raisins-like
four Vedas, and they used to worship the acacia-like Kaal Brahm,
from whom neither one attains the eternal supreme abode nor supreme peace. Then it is mentioned in Sukshmved that: -
Banjaare ke bael jyon, fira desh-videsh |
Khaand chhod bhush khaat hain, bin Satguru updesh ||
The meaning is that in the olden days, nomads i.e. traders used
to load sacks of sugar on bulls like that on donkeys, and transport
them from one place to another. The bull used to have sugar in the
sack on his back, but himself used to eat hay. Similarly, because of
not getting Tatvgyan from a Guru, the sages used to cram the sugar-like Vedas, but because of not understanding them properly, they
used to perform religious practices contrary to the Vedas.
