Sri Srimad Gour Govinda Swami
The Fourth Dimension
Excerpt from a lecture on Cc. Ādi 5.84-86 given by
Śrī Śrīmad Gour Govinda Swami on 14 September 1989, Bhubaneswar, India.
We are conditioned souls, we can only understand or we can only conceive such a thing that has three dimensions; length, breadth and height. We cannot conceive a vastu or thing that has four dimensions. This is very deep philosophy. Not an easy thing. We cannot conceive of such a thing that has four dimensions. How can we conceive? The Supreme Lord is in that sphere where there are four dimensions, so how can we conceive with our materially conditioned senses? We cannot conceive at all. A parabolic curve, or we may say two parallel lines cannot meet, generally speaking, but in that fourth dimension they meet. However, we cannot understand it, we cannot conceive of it because in our conditional state our knowledge is defective. There are four defects in the conditioned soul.* Our senses are defective therefore we cannot understand all these things so we cannot accept anyone as mahājana or ācārya, who is under this condition. Those who cannot understand things in the fourth dimension, they cannot be mahājanas or gurus, and we should not believe in their statements. By accepting a bona fide spiritual master who has this conception of the fourth dimension, then you can understand, through his mercy. Otherwise it is not possible to understand all these tattvas spoken here.
*Footnote: The four defects are bhrama (the tendency to commit mistakes), pramāda (the tendency to be illusioned), vipralipsā (the tendency to cheat) and karaṇāpāṭava (imperfect senses).
pamho agtACBSP,agtGGM,thank you for posting this very instructive article on the fourth dimension it say everything i mean that dimension is require for all the invisible paramahamsa who are still living on this planet of the living dead phisically to be manifest as a bona fide gosthi adhikari as all the others fourth dimension paramahamsa did by preaching the gospel of SRI GAURANGA MAHAPRABHU who is the origin and the perfect personification of that fourth dimension which make a jiva able to deliver all the fallen souls on order of SRI SRI GURU GAURANGA otherwise it’s all the time the same soup under the polluted influences of the three gunas of the material nature which make ordinary people to be captivate by the external energy of the lord,SRILA PRABHUPADA also use to say they do not know that they are like puppets manipulated by the inferior energy of SRI KRSNA but by keeping going serving krsna the temporary dress of the condizioned soul change because more we decorate the transcendental bodies of SRI SRI GURU GAURANGA and more our spiritual lost body get decorate by showing us the real freedom obtained by the paramahamsa saintly people who are simply living high thinking in the fourth dimension that everyone is looking for from ages kalpas and now we got this great opportunity to get there through the factor time by keeping going all life long with the daily brahma muhurta sadhana bhakti as the only wealth remaining in the paravyoma of the fouth dimension as soon as this bad dream journey of being the enjoyer will be over by the causeless mercy of the paramahamsa as SRILA PRABHUPADA, SRILA GOUR GOVINDA MAHARAJA, SRILA BHAKTISIDDHANTA SARASVATI THAKURA PRAPBHUPADA, SRILA BHAKTIVINODA THAKURA PRABHUPADA,THEY are still alive because they are free from the bodily concept of life to show us how to get the fourth dimension to become a real devotee and not just someone who is passing through a flickering fake positiion as diksa guru by imitating the real fourth dimension paramahamsa who are free from the polluted influences of kali yuga,agtys ys a.c seva das haribol
