Sree Sree Guru Gaurangau Jayatah!
The human being is finite, his intellect is finite, and his mental capacity is finite; anything determined by the intellect and mental capacity of a human being is also finite. The human being cannot determine the ultimate reality by his finite intellect–-that determination will be an intellectually concocted thing that is not Reality. Reality cannot be manufactured in the factory of the finite intellect of the human being. Reality is always existing. We are not to produce it; we are to find the way, the method of how to see that Truth.
If we want to see the sun in the night, we cannot see. We have got the experience, if we have to see things, we require the help of light. The sun is the thing. If we collect all the lights of Honolulu, can we see the sun in the night? Is that the method by which we can see the sun? The sun is not such a thing to be seen with the help of other lights. The sun is self-effulgent, self-luminous. When the sun rises, by the rays of the sun, we can see the sun, we can see ourselves, we can see all the things in their proper perspective. When the sun rises, darkness will go, and all problems created by darkness will be solved immediately. But we do not want to take this process.
When the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna, Who is the cause of all causes, Who is All-Existence, All-Knowledge, All-Bliss and as such, is self-effulgent, will descend to the surrendered soul, nescience will be removed, and all problems will be solved automatically.
nayam atma pravacanena labhya
na medhaya na bahuna srurtena
yam evaisa vrinute tena labhyas
tasyaisa atma vivrinute tanum svam
The Supreme Lord cannot be known by erudition, intellect or scriptural knowledge. He reveals His Eternal Transcendental Form to a completely surrendered soul.
