The Eternal Knowledge of the Soul: Teachings of Goddess Parvati to the Himalayas and Meneka

The profound teachings of Brahma Vidya were being explained, especially the divine dialogue between Goddess Parvati and her father, the Himalayas, the King of Mountains. This section completes that timeless wisdom and further reveals the nature of the soul, the power of knowledge, liberation, illusion, and transformation

The Essence of Brahma Vidya : Understanding the Pure Soul

Goddess Parvati begins by explaining the supreme essence of the soul. She says that the soul is:

·       Pure

·       Untainted

·       Eternal

·       Separate from intellect, ego, and prana

·       Full of supreme light

·       Free from birth and death

She describes Brahma Vidya as the knowledge that makes one realize the true nature of the soul, leading to liberation from worldly suffering. Paramshanti. Meditation, she explains, means contemplating this truth with complete focus. The soul is the silent witness, untouched by any external impurity. Paramshanti.

The Trap of Material Intellect

Parvati explains that the root of suffering lies in the intellect tied to matter:

·       “This is mine, that is yours.”

·       “I am the body.”

·       “I belong to this caste or identity.”

·       Jealousy, anger, hatred, fear.

Such intellect creates karmic bondage and traps the being in repeated cycles of birth and death. Paramshanti.

Thus, she advises:
Abandon the intellect attached to material identity and recognize the eternal soul.
The Himalayas Ask: “How Do We Remove Hatred?”

Himalayas lovingly ask their divine daughter: “How can one overcome hatred, anger, and the invisible outcomes of negative emotions? How should one maintain a pure attitude towards others?” To this, Parvati responds: The body may burn or decay, but the soul remains untouched. The soul is never harmed by any physical action. Just as the sky inside a house is never affected even if the house burns down, the soul remains free of all disturbances of the body.

Who Experiences Suffering?

The Himalayas raise a profound question: “If the pure soul does not suffer, then who suffers in this world?”
Parvati replies: It is illusion (maya) that creates the feeling of suffering. The soul, covered by countless layers of illusion, believes itself to be the body. It identifies with worldly emotions and experiences pain.
This illusion is ancient, deep, and powerful, ensnaring countless beings across lifetimes.
The Layers of Illusion  Parvati explains that as souls travel through many universes, they collect layers of illusion—mental impressions, desires, attachments, habits, samskaras. These layers make the unreal appear real. Like visitors dazzled in a fair, souls become hypnotized by worldly attractions—objects, relationships, possessions—and forget their true nature. Even after meeting a divine guru, when the guru’s influence weakens, illusion returns, trapping the soul once again.

Cycle of Birth, Death, and Destruction

Scriptures say: During cosmic destruction, beings remain in the form they are trapped in. At the time of new creation, they are reborn with the same impressions and same intellect. A donkey becomes a donkey again. An elephant becomes an elephant again. A human with limited intellect remains limited. This is why self-transformation is absolutely essential. Only through transformation can one purify the intellect and free the soul. Paramshanti.

Bapuji’s Teachings on Transformation

Bapuji Dashrathbhai Patel always emphasizes:

·       Transform yourself again and again.

·       Do not repeat mistakes.

·       Remove layers of illusion.

·       Replace ignorance with eternal knowledge.

·       Become pure consciousness.

Because during multiversal transformation, only divine souls who understand supreme knowledge escape worldly entanglements.  Those listening to this knowledge today are divine souls. Ordinary souls cannot even grasp this wisdom.

The Power to Change Destiny — Paramshanti

Parvati makes an astonishing statement: “A wise person does not believe in fate.”

Why? Because fate can be changed at any moment through:

·       Knowledge

·       Willpower

·       Purity

·       Resolve

·       Yogic awareness

Just as Parikshit attained liberation in seven days, anyone can change destiny whenever the soul awakens.
Ignorant beings blame fate; wise beings transform it.
The Purpose of Satsang (Company of Truth)

Parvati lovingly advises: Engage in satsang—meaning, tune your mind to the frequency of eternal truth. Without satsang, the soul sleeps. Without knowledge, the soul weakens. Without truth, the soul wanders.
She reveals that these teachings were given first to her father Himalaya and her mother Menaka—explaining:

·       The nature of the soul

·       The characteristics of the soul

·       What to renounce

·       How to detach the intellect

·       How to purify one's nature

·       How to attain liberation through knowledge

Divine Souls and Their Return

Divine souls may take birth on earth for a purpose—to uplift others. But illusion cannot bind them permanently. When awakened, they rise instantly to higher realms. This is why Bapuji says: When the time of transformation comes, leave everything behind— and board the divine aircraft of supreme light.

Meditation and Supreme Light

the session concludes with a meditation where:

·       Infinite divine power descends from the eternal abode

·       All karmic accounts dissolve

·       All heaviness disappears

·       Souls become pure light

·       Earth fills with supreme radiance

·       Every being becomes an embodiment of Paramshanti
