Man! You can project satyug yourself !
यदि आप अपने सोच-विचार व व्यवहार को सत्त्व प्रेरित कर लेंगे तो वही अभिव्यक्त भी करेंगे। यह सतयुग ही निर्माण करने के बराबर है।आप कर सकते हैं। क्योंकि जो युग आज है वह आपकी ही अभिव्यक्ति है। आपके द्वारा ही निर्मित है। जो आपने बनाया है उसे आप परिवर्तित कर सकते हैं। इसी लिये मैं सदा कहता हूँ —मनःस्थिति को परिवर्तित कर आप परिस्थिति को परिवर्तित कर सकते हैं। अब आप योग से, ज्ञान से, कर्म से या भक्ति से करें, ये आप पर निर्भर है।
शुकजी कहते हैं
पुंसां कलिकृतान् दोषान् द्रव्यदेशात्मसम्भवान्।
सर्वान् हरति चित्तस्थो भगवान् पुरुषोत्तम।।
मानव के भीतर से बाहर कलिकृत दोष अभिव्यक्त हो रहे हैं और चर-अचर व स्थान को प्रभावित कर रहे हैं। भगवान हरि को हृदय में रखने पर वह सभी भीतर व बाहर के दोषों को हर लेते है। कैसे? दोष के स्थान पर अब भगवान अभिव्यक्त होने लगते हैं। वह बुद्धिमान ऊर्जा अपने शुद्धतम् प्रभाव से प्रकाश की भाँति सहज विस्तार पाने लगती है तो भीतर व बाहर का अंधकार छँट जाता है।इस प्रकार बाहर का अंधकार भीतर के प्रकाश के प्रभाव से प्रकाश हो जाता है। )
You manifest yuga, yuga doesn’t manifest you. Whatever you manifest affects you as much as it affects living and non-living things outside. This is what Shukji tells Parishkshit in a nutshell in the Bhagvatam.
We will have to get deeper into what Shuka says to understand what he is aiming at. He is suggesting if humans can manifest sattvik qualities through their body-mind system, they create a satyug. The same principle he extends to other yugas too.
So the burden of creating a healthy time-zone entirely depends upon how men think, perceive and behave, that is what he says by referring to mind-intellect and senses
( मनोबुद्धीन्द्रियाणि) radiating qualities which make a yuga. That means you, man you, control a yuga. You created it. You have all the power to change it to what you want. This want is what is required and the kaliyug will instantly become satyug. If you are wise, you will exercise this want consciously and if you are not that wise, your own projections will force you to want the change. Bhagwan Kali will only lead the change your want intends. He will manifest the change through His body-mind system in such a way that your want for change will become a change and you too will manifest what He does. All opposition to this massive change will dissolve as fast as grains of salt dissolve in running water.
Through the discipline of the body-mind system, you can change the yuga. This change will first happen for an individual and then for the mass. So never think, one man can’t make a change. He can at his level first and then it will be followed at the mass level. As I always say—you project the situation you live in, you can change it by changing the body-mind system within first. The same principle has been detailed by Shukji during this discourse.
You Project Yugas
What Shuka Says is final on yugas and their progression.
प्रभवन्ति यदा सत्त्वे मनोबुद्धीन्द्रियाणि च।
तदा कृतयुगं विद्याज्ज्ञाने तपसि यद् रुचिः।।
When mind-intellect and senses manifest truth and its energy, consider that time zone to be satyug. During this time, people love knowledge, wisdom and righteous efforts. Sattvik can be understood as intellect-first actions/properties. Intellect is the faculty of direct perception of Intelligent Energy. Please read Beejankuri: The Seed of Bhagwad Gita to understand the scientific definitions of intellect, mind and senses etc.
यदा धर्मर्थकामेषु भक्तिर्भवति देहिनाम्।
तदा त्रेता रजोवृत्तिरिति जानिहि बुद्धिमन्।।
When people begin to manifest love (through mind-intellect and senses) for righteous knowledge, enjoyment and other rajasik properties, know that time zone to be treta. This time zone is governed by rajovrittis, o wise one!
यदा लोभस्त्वसन्तोषो मानो दम्भोथ मत्सर:।
कर्मणां चांस काम्यानां द्वापर तद् रजस्तमः।।
When greed, desperation, ambition, pride and jealousy are manifested by people, that time zone should be considered Dwapar, wherein actions are done for results and where common emotions are a mix of rajas and tamas. Rajas can be understood as I-first actions and tamas as body-first actions.
यदा मायानृतं तन्द्रा निद्रा हिंसा विषादनम्।
शोको मोहो भयं दैन्य स कलिस्तमसः स्मृतः।।
When mind-intellect and senses manifest deception, lies, sluggishness, slumber, violence, misery, depression, attachment, fear and poverty, that should be considered kaliyug, which is steeped in tamas.
How To Change Yuga
Read and understand carefully what Shukji says in the following shloka.
He says
पुंसां कलिकृतान् दोषान् द्रव्यदेशात्मसम्भवान्।
सर्वान् हरति चित्तस्थो भगवान् पुरुषोत्तम।।
It means—All the kaliyug-caused negatives in the matter and place are actually projected/born of men’s inner perception . द्रव्यदेशाः here refers to earth, water, fire, air space and their relative forms in the form of body, place and country. Krishna explains them as eight-fold nature or eight elements of nature.
Now look how you think and behave is projected outside and how it affects all around—man, matter and place. Now he also gives out a way to cancel out the projection of कलिकृतान् दोषान् (negativities) by keeping in the heart Lord Hari, the Supreme Being, who will dissolve all negative projections through you in a moment. What he intends to tell you here is that if you keep Hari in your heart, meaning, if you discipline and charge your mind with this great spiritual principle by remembering It/Him, you will change within and only manifest Him then. This Him will affect everything outside you and the world will change in effect. All you need to do is to either discipline your body-mind system through whatever way suits you or just remember Hari (Krishna, Intelligent Energy) is there in your heart. Keep your hands down and let Him manifest. In fact, if you remember Him, He will manifest Himself automatically like if you keep a lamp in a dark corner it will automatically drive out darkness all around. It is the cosmic principle of change. Think!
