  Anil Kumar Questions and Answers

Question 37

There are so many ages like the Thretha Yuga, Dwapara Yuga and Kali Yuga. Are they different periods of earth’s evolution, or are they something different? (05.01.2003)

As I understand it, it is all the course of earth’s evolution, like the Palaeozoic period, like Mesozoic period, or the Carbonizoid period. They are different periods of time. Even if you go through anthropology texts, they clearly tell us that ancient man was seven feet tall. Now, gradually, pygmies and dwarfs have come!

When Bhagavan materialized a ring of this size, He said, “This is Rama’s ring.”

It was large enough to serve as my waist belt! (Laughter)

“Swami, is this Rama’s ring?”

“Yes, it is!”

“Is it so big?”

“Why not? He was not so small like you. He was a large man.”

Then He materialized a gold chain of Ravanasura’s. It was a big chain, full of Siva lingams. Yes. At the centre, there were three big crystal lingams of yellow, blue and gold, with gold Siva lingams all around -- such a big chain.

“Swami, is this..?”

“Yes, it is Ravana’s!”

From seeing that, you can imagine his size!

Therefore, they belong to the earth’s evolution, but they are not earthly. Please understand. Being on earth is different from being earthly, as being a child is different from being childish. I am not a student of literature. I am a student of botany. But to my knowledge, one can be like a child, but never be childish. Am I clear? If you are child-like, you are Divine. If you are childish, you must be put under check. (Laughter)

Similarly, it is the course of earth’s evolution, but it is not earthly. What do I mean by that? Jesus of those times had a message for these times. Rama of those days had a message for these days. So, though they are of earth, they are simply not earthly, as they had no lesson to learn. They are terrestrial, but with a celestial mission in life. So, those ages have a message for this age. That is the answer I have.
