We perceive the real form of God with one tooth;
We meditate upon the deity with the curved trunk;
So the dantee with one tooth gives us inspiration.
-Ganesh Gayathri – Mahanarayana Upanishad
Here comes the three levels of truth – tama,wasto,tumpak. If a teaching is understood literally, that’s tama. When you analyse it and find the actual meaning, its wasto. If you go still deep into it to achieve eternal bliss, its tumpak. Gurujis never tell the inner teachings to everyone because the knew ‘do not throw what is sacred to dogs’. Dogs are good to play with. But you can’t teach mathematics to dog. It can never understand.
Here I remember the answer from Cho in his valmiki ramayana explanations :
Question: How come we say that lord Rama ruled his country for more than hundred years? Is that possible? When he is born on earth, he is mortal right? Why in almost all pictures or stories they depict him as young even after his ravanavatha?
Cho’s answer:
Mosquito1: “hey frnd.. they say human’s live for 70 to 80 years … how is it possible??!! I’m puzzled.”
Mosquito2: “Ha!! Absurd !! heights of stupidity!! How can one live such long life. Someone has fooled you.”
What a simple answer he has given! Like this, inner teachings are understood only by higher souls. Gurus provide us teachings. Taking the literal meaning and following them is not at all wrong. But when the meaning is known and followed, its importance goes higher and higher!!!
“Understand the inverted tree of life”- Bhagvad Gita.
This is not only in Indian teachings but even in Kabbalistic system and etc. etc. Taitriya Upanishad says our body as “city of unborn with 11 gates”. We have story, Lord Krishna’s each wife has 11 children. What does these 11 mean?? Chakras!!
Why women wear bindi/kumkum? It activates ajna chakra. Why saivas wear vibuthi pattai? That has association with forehead chakra. Why vaishnavas wear thiruman? It helps to bring divine energy into body(descent of holy spirit as said in bible). Why the pierce ears? Ears are the microsms of whole body similar to soles of feet. When earlobes are pierced properly, it helps to transmute excess sexual energy to crown chakra.
What does swastik symbol mean? Swastik turning left means expelling out energy. Swastik turning right is absorbing energy. Combine and draw both swasthiks. You will get a figure – that’s Irish Cross – that predates the birth of lord Jesus – has its functioning in clockwise and anticlockwise directions!! Similar structure you can see in our kolam(rangoli) !!!
Everything has its inner meaning. That is what we need to understand.
“In the beginning was Brahma, with whom was the word; and the word was truly the supreme Brahman” – Rig Veda.
“In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God” – Bible John 1:1
Just explore ….
Why lord Ganesha has elephant head?
Why all gods are blue in color?
Why peacock feather comes into god’s pictures?
How can Krishna be with all gopis at the same time?
“If brahmacharya is embodied in me, let this body come back to life.”– Lord Krishna when bringing Parikshit back to life – Bhagvad Gita.
The body gets life. How can we accept that Krishna is brahmacharya when it is said he stays with wifes and 16000 gopis!! If so.. then what is the actual meaning of Brahmacharya??!!!
Between the eyes, at the root of the nose Between the tips of ears; Above the soft palette There is valuable treasure -Azhuguni Siddhar
Why Krishna has to dance on Kalinga’s head?
Inner meaning of Gajendhra moksham?
Sleeping beauty story depicts what??
From untruth,lead me to truth From darkness, lead me to light From death, lead me to immortality -Taitriya Upanishad
Truth is universal. It does not belong to any one religion or country.
Keep thinking !!! :)
