Sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭaḥ: "I am seated in everyone's heart." Mattaḥ smṛtir jñānam apohanaṁ ca (BG 15.15): "From Me there is remembrance," smṛti, "there is knowledge, and there is forgetfulness also." So what is that, God making one person forgetful and another person encouraging? Why? Because I wanted like that. Because I don't want to revive my relationship with the Supreme Lord. Whenever I speak of God, oh, some person becomes, "Oh, what is God? Swāmījī, what you are speaking, God?" They don't want God.
So God gives him that "Forget Me. Yes, you forget and suffer." And one who wants God . . . just like some poor students are trying to reestablish his relationship with Kṛṣṇa, oh, Kṛṣṇa gives him too: "Yes." So therefore His business is to make you forgetful because you want to forget. And when you are advanced, if you want know . . . if you want to establish, reestablish your relation, He will encourage you.
So therefore two things are there witness. He gives you full independence. Whatever you like, you do, but He gives you instruction at the same time that, "These things will not satisfy you, My dear boy." Sarva-dharmān pari . . . "You give up all this nonsense. Come to Me. I shall give you all protection." But we don't want to take protection. What God will do? Poor God, what can He . . .? He can do everything, but He doesn't interfere with your affair. If you want to forget, He will give you so many facilities by this illusory energy that you'll forget, forget, forget. Adānta-gobhir viśatāṁ tamisram.
