What is the delusion that stops us from experiencing Brahman or God? Bhagawan lovingly guides us today with apt examples.
When a person suffers from a severe stomachache due to appendicitis, the doctor operates upon him and removes the appendix. Can we say, the doctor is cruel when he cuts the stomach of a patient? No, no. He cuts his stomach out of his compassion for the patient. The pain inside the body has to be cured by causing pain to the body from outside. Similarly, the tests given by God are only to help man to bear the consequences of his actions. Everything God does is for the good of man and not to harm him. Why? God is absolutely selfless, without selfishness and self-interest; in fact, He actually does not know what selfishness and self-interest are. Some people attribute partiality, selfishness and self-interest to even acts of God. It is only their imagination. This imagination is the cause of their delusion. So long as your heart is filled with bhrama (delusion), you cannot experience Brahma (God)! You cannot have thoughts of Brahma unless you drive away bhrama from your heart! Your heart has only a single chair in it. It is neither a double-seated sofa nor a musical chair! When you remove bhrama from your heart, Brahma will occupy it. It is not possible to make bhrama and Brahma sit on the same chair in your heart. But due to the impact of Kali Yuga, people are trying to make both of them sit on the same chair! They may make any amount of effort, but Brahma will not enter their heart so long as bhrama is there!
