What is the meaning of the word Brahma?
The word Brahma is derived from the root “Brahvast” meaning that which does not change. It is called Brahmathatva, because it does not change and it is eternal. 146. How can one attain this ‘Brahmathatva’? We must adopt the theory of “Rasovai Saha” in order to attain this “Brahmathatva”. The entire universe is born out of Rasa, God Himself being “Rasa Swarupa”. That which is born out of “Rasa” cannot be “Nirasa” or devoid of Rasa. 147. How many categories of Rasa are there? There are nine categories of Rasa called Navarasas according to Pandits classification. But according to Swami Bhagawan Baba’s view there is no need for Navarasa classification. Swami says there are only two Rasas. (1) Karuna Rasa, (2) Sringara Rasa. The conditions of Daya, Prema and Anugraha merge in Karuna Rasa. The emotions of Kama, Krodha and Loba merge in Sringara Rasa. Sringara Rasa misleads us whereas Karuna Rasa lead us. Only through Karuna Rasa we can recognize our duty and reach the proximity of the Lord.
