This shadow is due to the light and your hand, as it [shadow] was latent in your hand. Light is the whim. The shadow is latent but it is nothing — yet Nothing IS! This nothing is bound by the law of Nothing.
For us, this law of Nothing is binding. Nothing has three states called teen bhuvan [three planes or levels]: mental, subtle and gross. All three states are covered by the law. Although everyone's face is different, yet each has two ears, one nose and two hands, according to the law of Nothing. This law is the cause of every binding and it lasts until one is freed of it.
Everything is fixed according to this law of Nothing. A fixed number of different forms, a fixed number of births and deaths — everything. In reality, all this is nothing! Some births are good, some are not so good. It follows a zigzag pattern. A rich man, then a poor woman. Happiness and misery alternatively until the cycle of births and deaths is complete and emancipation achieved.
The law of the Nothing is in itself nothing! There is no such thing as misery. People cry out, suffer, complain about injustice and all such things, because they are unaware of the law. You think this is God's injustice, but God has nothing to do with it!
This law of the Nothing is not in God. It is in mental, subtle and gross forms. So Nothing means nothing — neither happiness nor misery, no birth, no death, no virtue, no sin. There is nothing [such as] sin!
When a soul escapes this law of Nothing and is merged in God — the God who is beyond this law — then the soul becomes God Himself and free of all bindings; hence, no law, no binding. If after God-realization a soul attains gross consciousness [becomes a Sadguru], he then brings God down on the gross plane where the law prevails. He brings down the Lawless God on Earth, but because he is continually conscious of his lawlessness — his infinite power — the law cannot touch him. Lawless God is infinite, all-mighty, all-powerful.
Now the Jivanmukta [God-realized soul without duty] is never touched by the law. He eats, drinks, and does everything. His state is unique. He does everything and while doing everything, does nothing. His state is so unique that even while doing everything, he does nothing. He does not eat, he does not drink, he does not sleep — he does nothing. In gross consciousness, it is like the state of the majzoob.
