Trigun Maya hinders a soul's liberation

Trigun Maya: Rajgun Brahma, Satgun Vishnu, and Tamgun Shiv Do Not Let a Soul Achieve Liberation

In Chapter 7, Verses 1 and 2 of the Bhagavad Gita, Brahm (Kaal) tells Arjun that he will now share the knowledge that will leave nothing else to be known.

In Chapter 7, Verse 12, Brahm, the giver of the Gita’s knowledge, says that all events influenced by the three gunas (qualities) stem from him. The creation by Rajgun (Brahma), preservation by Satgun (Vishnu), and destruction by Tamgun (Shiv) are all rooted in Kaal (Brahm). However, he adds that he does not directly exist in these gunas, as he resides far away in his personal abode in the twenty-first universe. Still, Kaal controls everything, including Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiv, like a machine, using the mind as a remote.

The narrator of the Gita, Brahm, explains that for the living beings in his twenty-one universes, the spiritual practice prescribed in the scriptures begins with his worship as described in the Vedas. He controls the intellect of all beings under him and is their master.

Therefore, in Chapter 7, Verses 12 to 15, Brahm (Kaal) clarifies that the creation by Brahma, preservation by Vishnu, and destruction by Shiv are ultimately caused by him. Those who, instead of worshiping Brahm, seek the temporary benefits of worshiping the three gunas (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiv) suffer more in the long run.

Brahm (Kaal) further states that he can provide greater benefits than these three gods, but due to the lack of true spiritual knowledge (Tatvgyan), worshippers limit their devotion to these deities. Their limited understanding prevents them from worshiping Brahm. As a result, these foolish worshippers, described as demoniac in nature, lowest among men, and opposed to the scriptures, fail to attain true salvation.

This is also supported by the evidence found in Chapter 16, Verses 4-20 and 23-24, and Chapter 17, Verses 2-14, 19, and 20 of the Gita.

Consider this:

Ravan worshipped Lord Shiv, believing him to be Mrityunjay (conqueror of death), immortal, and the Supreme Lord. He offered his head ten times as a sacrifice, receiving ten heads in return during battle. However, this devotion did not lead to liberation; instead, Ravan became infamous as a demon. The fault lay with Ravan's guru, who misunderstood the Vedas and misled Ravan by declaring Shiv as the Supreme God. Ravan, trusting this misguided guru, ended up ruining his life and family.

1. There was a devotee named Bhasmagiri who worshipped Shiv (Tamogun) for 12 years, performing headstands. He forced Shiv to grant him a bhasmkanda (a bracelet that turns anyone to ashes when placed on their head). Bhasmagiri's intention was to kill Shiv and take Parvati as his wife. In fear, Shiv fled. Eventually, Vishnu tricked Bhasmagiri into performing a dance, causing him to turn himself into ashes with the same bhasmkanda. Bhasmagiri, a worshipper of Shiv, became known as a demon.
2. Hrinyakshipu worshipped Brahma (Rajogun) and also became known as a demon.
3. About 335 years ago (from 2006), during a Kumbh festival in Haridwar, worshippers of the three gunas (Rajgun, Satgun, and Tamgun) gathered. A fierce conflict erupted between the followers of Shiv (Tamogun) and Vishnu (Satogun) over who would bathe first. Around 25,000 devotees died in this senseless battle.

Reflect on this: is someone capable of such violence over a trivial matter a saint or a demon? Even ordinary individuals would show kindness and allow others to bathe first. As mentioned in the Gita, Chapter 7, Verses 12-15, those whose knowledge has been clouded by worshipping the Trigunmaya Maya (Rajgun-Brahma, Satgun-Vishnu, and Tamgun-Shiv) are driven by pride, misled by demoniac tendencies, and do not even worship Brahm (Kshar Purush).

In Gita, Chapter 7, Verses 16-18, God (Brahm), the narrator of the Holy Gita, explains that there are four types of worshippers who engage in Brahm-worship:

1. Artharthi: These devotees seek wealth and perform rituals like jantra-mantra and hawan using Vedic mantras.
2. Aart: They perform similar rituals to alleviate misfortunes.
3. Jigyasu: These seekers desire knowledge of God. As they accumulate knowledge, they may become learned but can also fall into arrogance, losing sight of true devotion.
4. Gyani: These devotees recognize the rarity of a human life and the importance of worshipping God to avoid wasting it. They study the Vedas and learn that beyond the three gunas (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiv), there exists Brahm (Kshar Purush) and ParBrahm (Akshar Purush), and they should focus their devotion solely on Purna Brahm.

While these knowledgeable souls are commendable for moving beyond the three gunas to engage in Brahm sadhna, many learned individuals misinterpret the concept of 'Om' as the mantra for Purna Brahm, leading them to practice for years without attaining God. Instead, they gain other supernatural powers because they have not found a Tatvdarshi saint, as mentioned in Gita, Chapter 4, Verse 34, and Yajurved, Chapter 40, Mantra 10, who instructs on the worship of Purna Brahm using three specific mantras. Consequently, even the Gyanis who practice Brahm (Kaal) sadhna remain trapped in the cycle of birth and death.

Maharishi Chunak Ji, a learned and noble soul, studied the Vedas and, believing 'Om' to be the mantra for devotion to the Supreme God, practiced sadhna for many years through its repetition. During this time, King Mandhata Chakravarti, who ruled over the entire Earth, issued a challenge to the kings under his dominion to capture a horse he had marked with a signboard. He declared that anyone who refused to submit to him would have to capture the horse and fight with the king, but no one succeeded.

Recognizing the king's arrogance, Maharishi Chunak Ji accepted the challenge. The battle commenced with Mandhata leading an army of 72 crore soldiers, which he divided into four divisions of 18 crore each to attack Chunak Rishi. In response, Chunak Rishi used the power of his sadhna to create four bombs from his spiritual earnings, destroying all four divisions of the king's army.

It’s important to note that through devotion to Brahma, Vishnu, Shiv, Brahm, and ParBrahm, one must bear the consequences of both sins and virtuous deeds—reaping rewards in heaven and facing punishment in hell, while experiencing suffering across 84 lakh life forms.

In Chunak Rishi's case, the supernatural powers gained from his sadhna allowed him to defeat the king’s soldiers and earn the title of Maharishi. However, after enjoying the fruits of his sadhna in heaven, he would descend to hell and face the repercussions of his actions, including the deaths of the 72 crore soldiers he had slain through the power of his words.

God administers equal punishment for killing, whether by weapon or word. When Maharishi Chunak's soul eventually inhabits the body of a dog, he will suffer injuries, including worm infested head wounds inhabited by the souls of those soldiers who will take their revenge by tormenting him. His body may break or become paralyzed, forcing him to drag himself painfully while enduring the hardships of heat, cold, and various agonies.

In Gita Chapter 7 Verse 18, Brahm (Kaal), the narrator, states that although these knowledgeable souls are noble, they have not found the Tatvdarshi Saint who reveals the true sadhna (spiritual practice) of the three mantras of the Supreme God. As a result, they remain dependent on the hope of attaining only my (anuttamam) inferior salvation; even my sadhna is inferior.

Therefore, in Gita Chapter 18 Verse 62, Brahm advises Arjun to seek refuge in the Supreme God to attain supreme peace and the eternal abode (Satlok). Brahm narrated the Gita by entering Shri Krishna’s body and later wrote the Gita and the four Vedas by entering Maharishi Vyas Ji’s body. These texts contain complete knowledge about God, His bhakti (devotion), and the outcomes, but the worship described is only up to Brahm (Kshar Purush), also known as Jyoti Niranjan or Kaal.

For the bhakti of Purna Brahm (Supreme God), in Gita Chapter 4 Verse 34, Brahm advises finding a Tatvdarshi Saint and following his guidance. Brahm admits in Gita Chapter 8 Verse 13 that ‘Om’ is the only word for his bhakti, leading to his ultimate salvation. He reiterates in Chapter 7, Verse 18 that God-loving souls who fail to find a Tatvdarshi Saint remain dependent on his inferior salvation, highlighting that the liberation gained through his sadhna is also inadequate.
