A live seminar given to a group of holistic healthcare providers. Topics include Supersoul operates the body and mind, the forms of the body and soul are besed on the form of God, accepting eternal Vedic knowledge, the material body and world are always changing, material means time and change, the disease of material existence, mental algorithms, genius, qualities of the Vedic literatures, scientific knowledge in the Vedas, Vedas are not mythology, and much more.
Question: They don't understand the concept of Supersoul. They're asking that "When you talk with God, you're talking to the Spirit?"
Babaji: No; God is personally present as the Supersoul. That's a different thing; just like the difference between the Sun and the sunshine. God is the Sun; Spirit is the sunshine. God is a person, but Spirit is not a person; it's like, a material. Not material material, but spiritual material; a substance, spiritual substance. [laughs] Let's finish this, OK?
So God can be present as His energy; for example, [knocks wall] this is material energy in the form of earth. It originally comes from God; but right now, it's apparently separate from God, and it's impersonal. But God can be present anywhere and everywhere at any time; personally present. How does God know everything if He is not present everywhere? God is omnipresent, omniscient [and] omnipotent; how is it possible? He must be present everywhere; He must have His eyes and ears in every body. In the Vedas it is said that the individual soul is the knower of his own body, but God is the Knower in all bodies. It's common sense; otherwise how is it possible for God to know everything?
But something that's more difficult to understand, but just as important, is that God is the Doer in all bodies; we're just along for the ride. It's just like when we drive in a car; we might be steering, but the engine is actually doing the work. So similarly in this body, we may be making requests, but God is actually doing the actions, operating the body. This explains so many things, if you think about it. It explains why sometimes our plans just don't work out; or we try to do something, and we wind up doing something else.
I mean, there's just so many things... My point here is, you're not going to understand all of this [information] tonight; this is something you should think about for a long time. It'll give you more and more insight, the more you think about it. It's a model that I have drawn out of the scriptures in many years of research. So my suggestion is to make a copy of this, and then think about it. Actually, you'll find that this model explains human consciousness and the experience of human life far better than any other model.
We are not doers, but cooperators. Thus we should live our lives according to the instructions in the scriptures. "Just fix your mind upon Me, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and engage all your intelligence in Me. Thus you will live in Me always, without a doubt." [Bhagavad-gītā 12.8]

Please accept my humble obeisances.
Excellent presentation.
As you have mentioned that we are not the "DOER", God is , then what does a person need to do. How should one live their lives? If we are just for the ride, then we should let everything go and let God take care of everything. Please advise as to how one should live their life knowing that ONLY GOD is the doer .
It is hard to hear your lecture becauz of overlapping Spanish translation.

Yes, that is the intention. Without a robust theory of consciousness, modern science like Relativity and Quantum Mechanics has no real foundation. An observer is necessary for reality, but what is the observer? He has to be a conscious being, and brings in the whole metaphysics. The Vedic Esoteric Teaching is really the only decent theory of consciousness in the whole world; therefore we are just trying to make people aware of it.
