Aptavani-1
The expression 'deers in the human form' is written somewhere in the scriptures. The word 'deer' used here is a euphemism. The one who merits a rank of thirty-two points is born as a donkey, but just one additional point will merit him a human body but his intrinsic tendencies and traits are still that of a donkey. He may be a human being but his internal qualities are animal-like and therefore he is an animal. I say it like it is because I covet nothing and have no expectations. Your welfare is my only concern. I speak the naked truth out of infinite compassion for you. I am the only one in this world who speaks the blatant truth.
Worry and Ego
Lord Krishna says:
"Oh mortal one, why do you worry? Krishna will do what needs to be done".
31
In response to this do you know what some unfortunate people say? They say that Lord Krishna can say whatever he wants, but we are the ones who have to manage this worldly life so how can we do so without worrying? People have created factories of worries and yet they can't sell their goods. How can they? Wherever they go to sell their goods, they come across factories that produce the same goods! Find me just one man in this world who has no worries.
On the one hand they say 'I take refuge at the lotus feet of Shri Krishna' and on the other they say 'Krishna surrender to me' (do what I ask). If you take refuge at the feet of lord Krishna, why should you have any worries? Lord Mahavir also said that one should not worry. A single worry will result in a life in the animal kingdom. Worrying is the greatest ego. 'I am running all this'; when you believe that you are the one running everything, then naturally worries will be your reward.
Aptavani-1
A true devotee will even reprimand the Lord if he has any worries, he would question the Lord why he has worries when the Lord says that he should not. He who does not reprimand the Lord is not a true devotee. Scold or reprimand the God within you if you have worries. True love is when you reprimand even God. One cannot find a true devotee these days. Everyone is caught up in his or her own worldly needs and selfish plans.
32
When you go around believing, 'I am the doer...I am the doer', worries will occur. Narsinh Mehta (a renowned spiritual poet) says:
'I am the doer, I am the doer, itself is ignorance Like the dog, walking under a (ox-drawn) cart believes I am pulling the oxcart' The world runs automatically,
Rare is the One (yogi-yogeswar) who knows this."
When all the yogis (worldly saints) read this, they were flattered. These lines refer to atmayogi and atmayogeshwars (those who have known the Soul). An atma yogeshwar is a rare phenomenon, which comes about once in a million years. He alone is the one who has traversed through every atom of the entire universe. He lives within and outside the universe and speaks from experience. He alone knows who created the world, how it was created and how it functions. I am the atma yogeshwar of this age. Make the most of this opportunity that presents to you. I will take away all your worries in just one hour and what is more, I give you my guarantee that should you experience any worries, you can file a lawsuit against me. I have granted this worry-free state to some fourteen hundred mahatmas. Ask me for anything. Whatever you ask, I will grant you, but ask for something worthwhile. Ask for something that will remain with you forever. Do not ask for any temporary things. Ask for eternal bliss.
