Mental understanding comes from Shri Hanumana

August 31, 1990

Now, this conscience, which is Shri Hanumana, is the subtle form of Him, which gives us – is in Sanskrit called as satasatvivekabuddhi, means, sat means truth, asat means untruth and viveka means the discrimination and buddhi means the intelligence. So, intelligence to discriminate between the truth and untruth is given to us by Shri Hanumana.\n\nIn the Sahaja Yoga system, if we say that Ganesha is the one who gives us, He’s the adyaksha, means He is the, I call Him as the chancellor of the university. He is the one who goes on degree to us, “Now, you have crossed this chakra, that chakra, that chakra.” And He helps us to know that what state we are in. So, the Ganesha gives us say, nirvichara samadhi, which we can call it as the thoughtless awareness, and nirvikalpa samadhi. He gives all that and also He gives us joy.

But the understanding that “this is good, this is for our benevolence” – mental understanding – comes to us from Shri Hanumana. And it’s very important for Western people because it has to be mental otherwise they won’t understand.

If it is not mental they cannot come into abstract, it has to be mental. And so the mental understanding of whether it is good or bad is given to us by Shri Hanumana.
