“Shri Ganesha evolves the quality of Nirananda within us.”
Shri Ganesha is a tremendous purifying power, because it cannot be contaminated by anyone, whatever you may try, it cannot be contaminated. Only thing is, it may recede back, it may not manifest, but whatever it is, it is in its Absolute Form.
If you know how to use it, you can impart to everyone…
Many people sometimes think that purity is only limited to the gross side, that purity of their sex life is sufficient, it is not so. That is why Christ has said “Thou shalt not have adulterous eyes”, meaning, your eyes should be clear, and as you know, eyes represent both your ego and super-ego. So, when He said that your eyes should be clear, He meant that your thoughts should be clear.
Now, what is the generator of your power, we have to go deep into it and see how thoughts are created. The brain of human beings as you know, is like a pyramid. It’s elevated through a central point in a conical way, it’s the epitome, it’s the Brahmarandhra, and when this mind elevates to that state in human beings it goes into a tremendous change of its reactions to its environment. …
But only in human beings this reaction takes place because of its conical brain, we can say that this attention that’s coming in, goes into a parallelogram of forces, because we have two types of densities in our brain. There is also refraction, and because of refraction this parallelogram of forces acts in such a way that your attention goes out, and the attention that goes out, reacts. And when it reacts, the thought waves start coming in to us…. So, the thought is just an empty vessel which carries nothing. It cannot do anything; it cannot bring forth any fruit whatsoever….
our innocence exists within us. It’s not lost, it’s there, only it’s covered. Just like the sky can be covered with clouds, it is covered now because of the atmosphere, because of the way we try to dent it. That’s why I say don’t feel guilty, because if you feel guilty then you have a hand which is weak, a mind which is weak, a mind which is wobbly, and then you don’t want to cleanse yourself. But it exists all the time within us, untarnishable it exists within. You have to just get to it.
Now Shri Ganesha is the one who does that job for us. He is the one who cleanses it. That not He is the embodiment of purity, but He does that job. Only a person, or only the Deity which is embodiment of purity can do it. …The innocence of Shri Ganesha, His playfulness, His joy, the way He enjoys joy, the way He manifests joy. He is the source of all the joys of the world. …
But when you get to your Sahasrara the joy is called Nirananda. Now Nira is my name, you know that. Ananda means joy. Nira means that there is nothing else but joy. There is complete joy, no reaction, nothing just submerged in joy. That quality also evolves through the quality of Shri Ganesha. It’s the Shri Ganesha who evolves that quality of Nirananda within us. He goes into evolution gradually as you see up to Agnya Chakra until becomes Christ. That doesn’t mean that he goes into evolution,..
