Baba says, ‘I am giving you so much knowledge! This knowledge is completely new. Truth and falsehood are proven. You can now judge whether I tell you the right things or if they tell you right things.
| Old Belief | The truth |
|---|---|
| Sri Krishna is the God of the Gita | Shiv is the God of the Gita. Krishna is not God, he is a human-being and the first prince of heaven |
| God is omnipresent | God is my Father; a Father cannot be omnipresent in His children. It is meaningless. |
| God is beyond name and form | Nothing is beyond name and form. God’s name is Shiv and His form is a point of light, just like me |
| I am the body, I have a soul | I am a soul, I have a body |
| The soul is the Supreme Soul | God, the Supreme Soul, is my Father! A child cannot be the father, it is meaningless. A child can relate to, receive sustenance and an inheritance from it’s father but cannot be the father! |
| The soul is immune to the effect of actions (nirlep) | Because of the incorrect belief that each soul is the Supreme Soul, people think that the soul is immune to the effect of action. However, only God, Shiv Baba is immune to the effect of action. He doesn’t experience happiness or sorrow, sweetness or bitterness. The soul says: ‘this is sour’, so it not immune to the effect of action. This is also why it is said: ‘sinful soul‘ or ‘charitable soul‘; it isn’t said: ‘sinful Supreme Soul’ or ‘charitable Supreme Soul’. |
| The soul is thumb shaped | The soul is a tiny point of light, like a sparkling star, in the center of the forehead |
| A soul takes 84,00,000 births- one in each species with the last birth being the human birth. | A soul takes a maximum of 84 births- all human. A human soul cannot be born as anything else! |
| There are many gods and goddesses | God is One. There are many deities- Brahma, Vishnu, Shankar are all deities. |
| God comes at every confluence during the cycle (confluence of golden and silver ages, sliver and copper ages, copper and iron ages and iron and golden ages) | God only comes once in the entire cycle at the confluence of the iron and golden age i.e. when the old cycle is about to end and the new one is to start. He comes to make the old world, new again. |
| A guru can grant me salvation | No human-being can grant another human-being salvation. Only God, the One Satguru can. Therefore, no human being can be called a guru. |
| A dip in the Ganges can purify me of all sins | God alone is the Purifier. Water can cleanse the body, it cannot cleanse the soul. |
| The world cycle is hundreds of thousands of years long | The world cycle is 5000 years long; if it was hundreds of thousands of years long, it would be impossible for the soul to remember anything and the population would be out of control. |
| Kaliyug (the iron age) is still a baby, there are still 40,000 years left! | There is very little time left on the unlimited world clock, the cycle is ending. The entire cycle itself is 5000 years long and of that time, the iron age is 1250 years long. |
| God lives in heaven, that’s why He is called the Heavenly God Father | God creates heaven, that’s why He’s called the Heavenly God Father. He creates it for His children, He doesn’t live there Himself. |
| Krishna played the flute (murli) | God Shiva spoke the Murli at this time; the flute refers to the flute of knowledge. |
| God can be attained through devotion – chanting scriptures, singing praise, penance, performing sacrificial fires etc. | God cannot be attained through devotion. He comes Himself at His time in the world cycle, in an ordinary body and gives His own introduction. The biography of the Father can only be known from the Father. |
| Taking physical pilgrimages to Amarnath or other destinations can absolve me of sin | God teaches me the spiritual pilgrimage of remembrance through which all sins are absolved. I don’t have to travel anywhere for this, I simply consider myself a soul and remember Him with a lot of love. |
| One can attain eternal liberation through penance | No one can attain eternal liberation. All souls have to come to play their parts in this eternal cycle. By it’s very nature, the cycle repeats identically every 5000 years and therefore, so does my part. |
| To have a vision means to attain salvation | There is no benefit through visions- it does not burn away sins nor is there salvation. God comes and teaches me Raja Yoga. Through this study, I receive liberation and liberation-in-life. |
| Every religion is separate and has it’s own God that they believe to be true | There are indeed many religions in the world at this time. But there is only one tree, one God Who is the Seed of the whole tree. |
| God gives happiness and sorrow | God is the Ocean of Love, He is the Father. A Father cannot give sorrow to His children. He always and only gives happiness. |
| Depending on my karma, I will either go to heaven which is up above or to hell which is down below | Heaven and hell are both on earth. It is heaven for the first half of the cycle for 2500 years and hell for the second half. It is now hell with the five vices omnipresent in everyone. What was heaven once becomes hell and then heaven again. It is a cycle. |
| Humans and deities are different | Deities are also human beings except they are full of divine virtues. |
| God is called Almighty Powerful because He can bring back the dead and make the leaves move | God is called Almighty Powerful because His mere remembrance purifies and liberates by burning away sins of many births |
| God is the Creator because He creates everything- mountains, plants, humans, animals- everything | God is the Creator because He transforms impure souls into pure souls. He transforms degraded human-beings into perfect deities. Souls always exist as does the earth along with nature; He does not create anyone or anything from scratch. |
| The Brahm element is God, the soul will one day merge into it | The Brahm element is not God, it is His place of residence. To know God and remember Him in the home is very beneficial but to just remember the home without knowing God is useless and meaningless. |
| God spoke Amarkatha to Parvati | All souls are parvatis at this time and God speaks the Amarkatha i.e. He reveals the secrets of the beginning, middle and end of the world drama to all souls. |
| Ravan was a demon with 10 heads during the days of the Ramayana | Ravan is not a physical person, Ravan refers to the five vices- lust, anger, attachment, greed and ego. He is shown with 10 heads to indicate that the 5 vices are in males and in females. As such, at this time in the cycle, Ravan or the five vices is omnipresent in all souls. |
| Lanka is an island in the Indian Ocean where Ravan lived | God explains that the whole world is Ravan’s world at this time and therefore the whole world is Lanka. |
| Religious founders attained liberation and can grant liberation to their followers | No one has attained liberation, no one has or can gone back home until the drama ends. Only God can grant liberation to souls and take them back home with Him. No one else knows the way. |
| The name of the religion is Hindu | There is no such religion as Hindu. God established the original deity religion (Adi Sanatan Devi Devatha dharma). Those same deity souls having now become impure and degraded can no longer call themselves of the deity religion. So the name was changed to Hindu. |
| All religions will exist in heaven, anyone can become a deity or heavenly being | God establishes heaven which is one kingdom, with one religion and one language. Only Bharath was heaven, no other continents existed then. This entire play or story is of the rise and fall of Bharath. Only Brahmins can become deities because only Brahmins recognize God, become pure and receive the inheritance of heaven from the Father. |
| Sanyasis can teach Raja Yoga | No human being can teach Raja Yoga, they don’t have this knowledge to give it. Only God, the Ocean of Knowledge, the Creator, can teach Raja Yoga. |
| Sanyasis renounce Karma | There is no such thing as renunciation of action. Even breathing or eating is action! |
