  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.
