Anil Kumar Questions and
Answers
Question 52
Before He
took a body, was Bhagavan aware of bliss and Love to the same
extent that He is now? (02.02.2003)
Ah ha,
very good. (Laughter) My friends, He need not be aware of
bliss. He need not be aware of His Love. This has nothing to do
with before or after taking of the body. No. He is awareness
Itself. He did not become aware. He is awareness Itself. Please,
understand. Similarly, Bhagavan does not need to acquire wisdom.
He is wisdom Itself. He does not need to become knowledgeable. His
is knowledge Itself. Therefore, is He aware? The question doesn’t
arise because He is awareness.
But let me give
you further clarification. A question was put to Swami regarding
how much food He eats. After all, He eats very little. I don’t
know how many of you have noticed, but He eats only two or three
spoons of food, that’s all. It can be very embarrassing for others
to sit with Him during meals. (Laughter) But we are
helpless because He feels very happy when we eat more and more. (Laughter)
The more we eat, the happier He is. But He eats very
little. (Laughter)
When I asked,
“Swami, how are You so energetic with only two spoons of food?”
He
said, “You get energy from the food that you eat. I don’t get
energy from the food I eat because I am energy.”
Bhagavan is energy Itself. (Applause) He doesn’t need to
get energy from food. Please understand. Therefore, is He aware of
Love? This question isn’t necessary because He is Love. Is
He aware of bliss? No, because He is bliss Itself. That is
the answer.
