mama rupāsi Devī tvam tastatkathyāmi te | lokopakārakaḥ praśno na kenāpi kṛtaḥ purā || 18 ||

18. O Devī, you are My very Self in form. This question of yours, which will enrich the whole world, has never been asked before by anyone. Therefore, I shall narrate this mystery to you.

Please listen, sincerely.

Mahādeva says, 'O Devī, You are My own Self, My rūpa, My form—mama rupa.'

First thing. Mahādeva-Devī, Śiva-Śakti—It is same energy in different form. You can't separate It. Both lead to the same Truth, to the same experience, to the same ultimate.

Let me define Mahādeva, Śiva-Śakti.

'The original substance of Existence', that is the definition I want to give for Mahādeva. Śiva is the original substance of Existence!

The original substance is Mahādeva, Śiva. The original substance of Existence decided to enjoy Itself, It is called Śakti, Devī. So, Śiva and Devī, both are one and the same to Its core. This is the essence of Advaita Vedānta, Śuddha Advaita Vedānta.

Listen, when 'I' becomes 'we' by the incompletions added it is hell. When 'I' becomes 'we' out of joy and the space of creation, it becomes—Brahman becoming Prakṛti.

Listen. I have revealed too much beyond what your mind can bite. Now I'll help you step by step.

In the original state, whether you or God feel the pure 'I', without 'you' or 'they' or 'me', it is a pure 'I'. The 'I' becomes 'we' when the incompletion is added to it. Listen! When you have an incompletion to be fulfilled, that becomes the reason for making you feel you are multiple, something else other than 'you' also exists. When the 'I' becomes 'we' because of the incompletions inserted, it is hell! So, in every step, the incompletion goes on adding more and more incompletion.

When the 'I' becomes 'we' because of incompletions added, it is hell. Why you took birth? the 'I' became 'we' because of incompletions added. Your experience of 'I', the pure 'I' started experiencing 'we' means as multiple.

Listen! Anything, if it does not bring powerlessness to you, it will not bring karma. It can be as complicated as going for a war or as simple as chewing a pān (betel leaf), as complicated as killing millions in the war or as simple as chewing a pān. It can be anything, but it will not bring karma to you, if it does not bring powerlessness to you.

See, 'I', when It experiences Itself as 'we' due to the pure completion and creation, that is what is called the Jagat Janana. The pure original substance of the Existence—Śiva, out of creativity, joy, powerfulness, completion, becomes Devī and starts celebrating His own existence.

Please listen, if you understand. I am talking about Hindu macro cosmology and micro cosmology.

Every day you can wake-up like Mahādeva becoming Devī or you can wake-up as usual like how you do; you have the freedom. Finally it boils down to whether you wake-up like Śiva becoming Devī or you becoming your personality, it depends on the strength of completion in you, the strength of completion in you, the strength of

completion in you. You can see the difference. When Mahādeva becomes Prakṛiti, it is so beautiful!

Bring powerful completion into you. Listen! Śiva is Completion. Śakti is the Creation of Completion, the Bliss of Completion. Bring powerful completion into you. I tell you, when you bring completion into you, every day when you wake-up, it will be like Śiva becoming the Universe, Śiva becoming His own rūpa, His own Self, Devī!

Please listen, I am repeating.

When the 'I' becomes 'we' out of incompletions added into it, it becomes kārmic life. When the 'I' becomes 'we' out of pure completion, Śiva and pure creativity, Devī, it becomes Avatāric life. Whether your life is kārmic life or Avatāric life, you diagnose, you decide. And you can change from kārmic life to Avatāric life. You can change it from kārmic life to Avatāric life! So, start moving from pure completion, Śiva. Move yourself to more and more completion.

Listen, the secret is this!

When the 'I' becomes 'we' out of completion, when the 'we' merges into the 'I' out of completion, you are an Incarnation! Out of pure completion when 'I' becomes 'we', and 'we' becomes 'I', your life is the life of an Incarnation, Jīvan Mukta. When 'I' becomes 'we' out of incompletion, and 'we' becomes 'I' out of incompletion, then your life is kārmic life.
