What is the non-return zone of spirituality according to you, and what are the consequences of being trapped in it?
If they have greed also, they can leave go live in society learn lessons and come back. But if they have laziness engram, nothing can be done. No entry for them. Because the laziness is the non-return zone of spirituality. Enlightenment, videha Samadhi, laziness these are all non-returnable. This laziness. God. The first thing we need to break is laziness. Especially the early morning Brahma Muhurtha. I tell you even my body has become so healthy after I broke the laziness of the brahma muhurtha. After I started waking up before sun rise my body has become totally different. So wake up before sunrise, work out in the Nirvani akhada or 108 surya namaskars, take cold water bath and come for Guru puja. You will just break all your samskaras. Once you break one or two samskaras you will simply know how to break them. The science of breaking your mind and body you will know. You will create new rivulets. Another truth from yogaflavoredlife.com. It says Your brain has the ability to create new grooves and pathways and the existing ones will heal up and disappear if left on their own. You brain can create new grooves and pathways.
What is the essence of initiation, and how do existing patterns heal and disappear?
Means the possibility for new life exists. Possibility for becoming new man exists. Possibility for becoming new consciousness exists. That is what we call initiation. And the existing ones will heal up and disappear on their own. Nothing else is required. You dont need to do anything else to fill the existing river. Just make a dam and divert the river. Scientist Debbie whitemore says the science of neuroplasticity focuses on how the brain can rewire itself to forge new connections and break cycles of negative thinking and acting. Patanjali very beautifully says if you are suffering from a particular engram, just create the anti-emotion. And feel that it is spreading all over your body. Release it to the cosmos through your every pore. Like if you are suffering from violence, create compassion. Then you will see a new pattern set in you. Again one more report from www.yogaflavoured.com, study done on Yoga says - the regular practice done on yoga is the perfect formula for creating new deep behavioural grooves in the brain that take advantage of neuroplasticity. Just as I was telling now, working on the body, straight away working on the body.
What is the uncompromising way to break the laziness system, as exemplified by your personal experience of paada yaatra?
Uncompromising way breaking the laziness system. I tell you this paada yaatra that I took in my young age, it has done so much in my system. Because once you start walking in the morning, till evening you cannot stop till you find the next village. Otherwise no food, no stay. Same way the morning saadhana should be a paada yaatra for you. Now, I made this morning paada puja + message as a routine. Neither I can miss nor you can miss. Both of us are caught. Same way I will make the morning routine also. Morning 5 am I will be there and so you also have to be there. I think this is what our Upanishad says Sahana Bhavatu, Sahanao Bhunaktu Sahaveeryam Karvaa vahai - Let both of us grow together. Zen insists even the master has to work out. I was thinking why. But this laziness engram, that maya can catch anybody in the body. It is like one leg of the body is in the mud. So for that leg, you have to work.
What is the biggest crime in spiritual practice or in the field of awakening, according to the Master?
Even an incarnation body which has been broken into pieces by so much sadhana, with all 12 strands of DNA awakened, even for that body laziness can catch up. Then I thought oh God. Even if an incarnation body can be smeared by little bit of laziness. So from today, we will have Yoga Sutras everyday in Manas Sarovar. So before sun rise to complete sun set means 5 to 9 and 6 to 7.30 both sandhyas I will be with you guys. So that we constantly work on creating new man. Understand you are not reality, you are potentiality. We need to work, work, work. Constantly everyday adding yogic body and vedic mind untiringly. One day missed is lost. One of the biggest crime in spiritual practice or in the field of awakening is this laziness. This comes & catches us in such a way that you dont even know you are caught. I tell you Guru Droha and laziness is equal. Both should be punished equally. Laziness is nothing less than guru droha. Because you will not even know that you are not doing anything. Just hanging around.
What is the nature of laziness in the context of spiritual growth and meditation, and how does it hinder the process of opening and healing past life memories?
Especially in such a big campus, you can hang around anywhere and keep watching everything. If you are meditating consciously you are growing that is perfect. But we dont do that. It is like easy drifting and non-doing. Just there, what for. Ah just there. Laziness is one of the worst crimes. Here I have another one beautiful research. It is actually experience. As I said yesterday, we will be working next few days on this past life memory. Breaking the laziness is one of the important step you need to do to go against the flow and open your past life memories, release and heal it. Laziness can be classified in different ways laziness out of escaping mentality, laziness out of fear, laziness just for laziness. The first two can be healed by greed and making you fearlessness. But the 3rd is the most dangerous laziness. Most of us suffer with that only. If I tell you from tomorrow we will wear Yoga vastra, for the next 10 days you will not bother till you get the next reminder. It is not like there is fear or greed in this. So laziness just for laziness.
What is the most cunning crime that prevents us from re-wiring our brain?
That is the most cunning crime. Laziness for laziness. Very very dangerous. Do not allow that laziness for laziness. Break the body & mind with intensity. You will see the real re-wiring of your brain happens. The only enemy, only reason why we don't re-wire our brain is laziness. Just laziness. I have some more researches & truths which I will share tomorrow. Of course not because of laziness but they are more relevant to tomorrow's subject. Today, first thing to cleanse the first layer of your past from the moment you were born in this life time till this moment .2nd layer is the moment you assumed your first birth till this birth all your past lives. And 3rd layer is all the collective past from when the creation began all past happenings. 1st layer your Date of birth to this moment in this life. This one week I want to work on this past. Today my message is break your laziness to re-wire your brain is the technique to cleanse the engrams of your 1st layer past. I can give 3 names.
What are the three layers of past that we will be working on in our spiritual journey?
The 1st layer past from your date of birth to this moment can be called as past living. The 2nd layer is all births from your past lives. The 3rd layer is the collective past happenings the moment big bang happened to this moment is past happenings. We will work on past, past lives and past happenings. By January I will give an experiential workshop on past life regression so that millions of people can be helped. This truth of past lives is one of the unique contributions of Vedic tradition. Let you all break the laziness, pattern of laziness and experience the re-wiring of brain, achieve and radiate enlightenment. Blessings!.
What is the root cause of human consciousness suffering, according to the unconscious, hypocritical social set-up?
Today Ill share the truth to make you all living enlightenment; the integrity. One of the worst problems human consciousness is suffering because of unconscious, hypocritical, social set-up is integrity - not having integrity, problem of not having integrity. Please understand. The unconscious, hypocritical social set-up, society. In Shiva Sutras, Shiva gives a very beautiful verse, very beautiful sutra, I can say, the straight solution for all the problems. Just integrate your, all your energies into one direction. Feel. Im trying to give the exact translation. Feel, every soul, every being as your very center. Understand this one idea.Its a very powerful idea, very powerful idea. That is why it takes a lot of time even to understand, get the hang of it, even get the introduction. All our problems are just because we go on trying to insist, we go on trying to emphasize that your being is separate from somebody elses being. The suffering caused to that being will not come near you. You are separate and outside your skin whatever exists is separate.
What happens when we start separating what exists outside our skin and inside our skin, and how does this attitude of separation affect us?
One of the worst things is, first you start separating what exists outside your skin and inside your skin, but that attitude of separation, separating, does not stop there. It just gets inside your system slowly. Then even inside, you separate your intellect and emotion. You separate your emotion and being. You separate your being and consciousness. Go on separating, separating, separating, dividing, dividing, dividing. The more you divide, the more you become weak and more problems and more enemies you need to handle. I have seen some people, they feel the whole world is enemy for them. The other day, one person came and told me, Swamiji I feel this whole world, my father, my mother, my brother, my sister, my husband, everybody is sitting together and planning and conspiring against me. I thought, Oh God. What kind of a mental set-up. But I wanted to share with you an important thing. From the young age, I used to feel a very deep, strong feeling inside Me. Its like a, Vivekananda says once to his Guru Ramakrishna, Whenever I fall asleep, I feel a ball of light happening in front of me and exploding into My inner space.
What is the nature of the experience that Vivekananda had from a young age, which was a constant inspiration to him?
I just fall asleep, fall into that. And he says, he always felt all kids used to sleep like that only. He never thought he is some way special because of that experience. He thought, not only for Me, for always everybody this is the way it is. Ramakrishna was so happy and he said, You dont know how special you are. Only normal human beings, people who can compare you with normal human beings can understand how special you are. How Vivekananda was feeling always that whenever he falls asleep, he falls into that consciousness, into that light, I have one experience. I had from the young age, unbroken thought trend, a experience, a current, not even thought trend, current, that whole world is celebrating My Presence. The whole world is supporting My existence. The whole world is supporting, fulfilling for what I took birth. This one feeling, one experience was a constant inspiration. Please understand, till now, even after this whole scandal and abuse I went through by the unconscious, hypocritical society, even after all this, somehow that strong feeling inside, that strong current inside, everybody is part of My drama, My leela.
How do you perceive the challenges and obstacles that arise in your mission and life, and how do you maintain confidence and joy in the face of adversity?
The happening which is happening through this body is being supported by all the people who cherished so much enmity, so much conspiracy, so much of vengeance, wanted to destroy Me and My mission physically, legally, socially and character assassination and what not. Tried to poison, tried to kill, tried to threat, tried to physically destroy, what not. But still somehow unimaginable confidence, the unimaginable joy, unimaginable experience. Whenever I just relax, either into Samadhi or into rest, or into sleep, of course, you can call with the different names but I have only one thing- Turiya. Whenever I have such a strong confidence, such a clear experience, not even just ordinary confidence, just an experience. Hey, all these fellows who have cherished so much enmity, vomited so much venom on Me and My mission. And just yesterday I had one abusive email from an ex-devotee. Anyhow, even after seeing that mail, after seeing that whole thing, somehow I feel this whole thing is My own drama. This whole thing, not just this scandal, this whole cosmos, this whole prapancha, this whole universe, I have a strong feeling, just my play. And everybody is helping in what I am doing.
What is the root cause of a person feeling that everyone around them is conspiring against them?
Everything is supporting in what I am doing. Everything is playing for My side. Still I do not feel that there is something playing opposite side. How to exist in the planet earth, that is a big problem. So one guy, this devotee when he came and told me, Swamiji, I feel my husband, my family, my brother, sister, everybody around me are conspiring against me and working against me, I could not understand. I thought, O God. What a sickness that person is carrying. Of course she is helpless. It is not that she created it. She is helpless. She is caught in it. That is the gift or punishment given by society to her. The unconscious hypocritical society constantly makes you feel threatened. The first lessons which you learn from the hypocritical society is, only if others are second, third, you can be first. For you to be first, all others have to be second, third, fourth, fifth. Means, you have to defeat everyone to win. Day one in the school this is the lesson you learn. Unless you defeat you cant win. The very system encourages the intense vengeance. The very system encourages intense jealousy.
What is the worst punishment society gives to a human being, according to you?
The very system encourages abusing other beings. Creating distance between you and others. Making boundary physically, mentally, psychologically, emotionally. First they teach you, you, you. Then your family, then, your friends, your team, your country, your language, your religion. Everything goes on centered on you, you, you. Then anything other than you is enemy. Understand, this is the worst punishment society gives to human being. I tell you, I really feel, if some way I can reproduce that feeling which I am carrying, that everything is supporting you. I really feel even when I walk, the trees, plants, the animals, I just feel everything is supporting My mission. What for I exist, what is purpose of My life, everything is just part of it. Everything is just supporting it. If somehow I can reproduce this experience on all of you, I can say, this will be the anti-venom for social hypocrisy. Constantly in every step society teaches you unless you destroy people with other ideology you cannot live; either by hook or crook. I tell you, this is the worst thing taught to human consciousness, the greatest suffering human consciousness carries is, other than you, everybody is enemy.
Swamiji, you logically understand how people feel enmity and how to respond to it, but you don't know how to experience it. Can you explain this difference?
Still I am not able to understand how to feel enmity. Still I am not able to. See when people talk to Me, I logically understand. Many times people come and tell Me, Swamiji whatever you talk logically I understand but I dont know how to experience it. Same way I have a big problem. I can logically understand enmity - how people feel enmity and how to respond to it, how to act towards it. All these things logically I can calculate. Or I sit with My disciples and ask them, Hey what to do about this. What to do. How to go about. What shall we do. That is the reason even with this whole scandal, I just, simply listen to the lawyers strategy. I could not make a single strategy. First time in My life I obeyed somebody at some time because I was not able to understand at all. I was not able to logically relate, experientially understand, till, what till, till now I can say. I am not able to understand logically how people will have so much of enmity for no reason. Still I have no logical, experiential understanding.
How do you handle a situation where a so-called spiritual guru is abusing you in the press, while your lawyers are insisting on taking legal action?
So just whatever lawyers say, I say alright. What can be done. I try to educate them, No, no, no. Go as much as possible, non-violent, compassionate, just defending us, nothing else. Dont hurt anybody. Dont hurt anybodys sentiments. One so called the spiritual guru, used this chance to abuse Me left and right in the press, just fishing for few disciples in this chaos. But when you try to fish in the dirty waters, you get dirty. They dont understand. So My lawyers were insistent on Me sending legal notice. I said, No, no, no, leave it. But this guy is not stopping. He goes on commenting whenever he gets a chance, press mike in front of him, he goes on abusing. Now what to do. I can neither listen to My compassion nor listen to this lawyers strategy but still I am holding. I say, No, no, no, it is ok, leave it, dont do, leave it, lets wait, lets wait. Trust His intelligence. At some point it will be awakened. What to do. But it goes on.
What is the problem when society's hypocrisy becomes too much?
Sometimes, the problem is, but I tell you, whatever is said and done, that feeling, whole thing just supports you, whole thing just stands for you and what for you stand. Whole thing is just fulfilling you, celebrating you. I tell you, even if it is just hypnotizing Myself, self hypnosis or some illusion, I am happy to have it. No really, I am just enjoying it. Sometime your joy and bliss becomes more important than the factuality of the ideas you carry. I tell you, because the societys hypocrisy has become too much, even you start doubting about your own experiences. I really saw, thousands of disciples who had such a strong experiences, fools, they have started suspecting their own experiences because of the social hypocrisy. See, their bio-memory is built on society, built by society. So when society just creates an euphoria, its like a, every full moon day, the ocean, ocean gets agitated, salt water gets agitated because of the moon. The energy from moon, pull from the moon, salt water gets agitated, the ocean gets agitated.
What happens when an abusive idea is put into the social mind, and how does it affect people with weak minds?
When the salt water gets agitated, all the people who have little weak mind, their bodys salt water also gets agitated. That is why, the people who lose their balance along with the moon, they are called lunatics. Along with the flow of lunar, they are called lunatics. The pournami or amavasya comes, the full moon day or new moon day comes, they will be little imbalanced. How, when the whole ocean gets agitated, the people's body also gets agitated, same way, when an abusive idea is put into the social mind, social euphoria is created, suddenly these guys also lose their base. I know so many disciples, ex-disciples who abused Me during this scandal, now they are repenting terribly because now social euphoria is settled. They are not able to tolerate that they did this. But what to do. When the social euphoria gets aroused, their bio-memory also gets aroused and they themselves do not know what they did. Its unconscious. I feel actually sympathy for them. I dont feel angry with them, about them, I just feel sympathy, oh God what to do. Alright.
What is the root cause of suffering in human life, according to you?
So understand, one of the important suffering human beings have in their life is, problem of not having integrity. Ill explain the integrity in different levels to you. Now I explained the problems of not having integrity. Ill explain exactly the integrity itself. The intellect-logic, analyzing, intellect, and emotion-feeling connection, the juicy part of your life and being-your very idea about you, which is constant, which runs like a thread during your waking, dream and deep sleep. During all these three states, it runs like a common thread. That is why, when you get back to waking state, you are remembering the same personality. You remember about yourself as the same continuity. This is what I call being. Understand, in all these three, there is a lot of disturbance. Youll understand the intellectual disturbance. The moment you start planning for one thing, within a few seconds, some other plan will be going on in the other part of the brain. That is why, I always tell people, disintegrated brain, right brain and left brain. Nothing is right in the left, nothing is left in the right. Nothing is left in the right, nothing is right in the left. Disintegrated brain.
What happens when you try to make a decision on a single problem, and how many words do you use to support or oppose that decision?
It goes on and on and on in different directions. One says one thing, the other says another thing. By the time you decide this, already you see, if you take one decision using three words, already ten words are used to support the other decision. The number of words you use. Sit and analyze only one decision. Take up one problem and develop solution for that and how many words you use for and against that one solution, one problem you analyze it. You will realize nothing is left in right and nothing is right in left; youll realize it. Just one problem, take up one small problem. Today its so pleasant, wonderful day. Can I just sit in the temple and meditate. Make this one decision. You just, just decide. Just one problem. If you dont want to have this problem, pick up your own problem, or having whether to have this problem or not. Take decision on that one thing, just one thing. See how many words you use, I am not even asking the emotional strength behind the words; that you will not be able to calculate. Just number of words you use, for and against.
What is the reason behind the chaos of multiple voices in one's inner space?
Just see, you will understand how many voices are there. Its like a hundred fellows are sitting inside your brain and talking. People sometime come and tell Me, Swamiji I hear two voices in my inner space, I hear two voices. I tell them you are blessed you have only two! :) I know people who have hundred, two hundred, not just one. There is a Upanishad which says, A Paramahamsa should not live with two persons. It says He should live just with Himself. I was really surprised. The Upanishad goes on describing. It describes, Two persons are staying in one place means it is equivalent to village. Three persons are staying means it is equivalent to city. Four people means, it is equivalent to mahanagara, means large city, cosmopolitan city. Because each fellow has hundred voice. Why do you think these reality shows are such a big success, such a big hit. Because people want to see the same chaos in which they are living. The reality shows where some 10-12 celebrities are put in one house, see actually in one house, ten people living is not a big thing at all. See in our ashram.
What is the reason behind the harmony and lack of problems among 50 people from diverse backgrounds staying in a single dormitory for 21 days of the Living Enlightenment program?
One small dormitory, 50 people stay for 21 days of Living Enlightenment program. And all are completely from different country, culture, language, background, education, everything. And I dont hear a single problem or fight. Fifty people stay in one dormitory and most of them, I can say 99% of them are habituated for private space in their regular life. They will have at least their bedroom and I tell you, the greatest sacrifice is sacrificing the privacy. Its practically impossible. You need at least a few hours where nobody will see you. I can understand what it means abuse of privacy. But 50 people stay in one dorm but I dont see any problem, disturbance in them because of the power of that inner awakening, power of that Inner Awakening, when the inner space is getting awakened. But a normal man, impossible, impossible. That is why this celebrity reality shows - such big success. Because one person itself is too much. And celebrity means you have at least some 400, 500 voices because he is the peak of social hypocrisy. Person who is peak of intellectual, social hypocrisy becomes politician.
What is the difference between a celebrity who is at the peak of emotional and social hypocrisy and one who is at the peak of being level social hypocrisy?
Person who is peak of emotional, social hypocrisy becomes artist celebrity; in the line of art. The person who is in the peak of the being level social hypocrisy will be in asylum; lunatic asylum. Celebrities unconsciously suffer this social hypocrisy too much. Its really too much, that is why when you put few celebrities in the, together in a house and start a reality show, you dont even need to create any trouble for them. Just put few of them together, thats enough. So much anger, so much vengeance, so much crying. You may think how I know about celebrity shows. Just the other day I got an offer from a big celebrity show, one of the international celebrity shows, 14 weeks of My time and they said, any money, any money we will offer. I was laughing. No really. What all offers I get you dont know. Karan Thapar, the strongest tongue I have ever heard in Indian talk shows. Karan Thapar personally called My press secretary. And he said, I wanted to interview Swamiji. And he says, I am ready to accept all conditions you place. I just want Swamiji in my show.
What was Swamiji's initial reaction when he was approached for a celebrity show?
I was really shocked because he doesnt need to raise his TRP having Me. He has enough people and enough TRP and he is very popular for his sharp tongue. But he says, No. Hes the most watched celebrity now. First his secretary called then, he personally called, I want Swamiji in my show. Of course, hundreds of offers. When they asked Me about this celebrity show, this reality show, 14 weeks. I thought maybe everyday half an hour they will shoot. I didnt understand what it means by reality show. They came and told Me. I said, Okay, talk to Bhakta and fix time. They said, No, no Swamiji you dont understand reality show, first watch some reality shows. Then you will understand. When I saw, Oh GOD. It is a whole day, they fix camera and they watch and they try to boil you. But actually after watching the show I was really interested that I should take up a celebrity show, I should take up a reality show. No really, because I wanted people to see a Master's life day and night.
What is the reason you cannot participate in a reality show, even if it offers a large sum of money?
I really wanted a reality show but unfortunately no time, no time. 14 days, 14 weeks, even my brahmachari cannot afford 14 weeks of free time. And they said any money is okay, we will give. Just give Swamijis time 14 weeks. I said, No. No question of money, it is a question of lot of spiritual classes and sessions. Well not be able to take 14 weeks of Swamijis time. Thousands of people wait every day. I heard last few days, thousands of people are attending pada puja and this darshan from around the world through web camera even now. They say more than hundred countries, people are watching even now. So, I sincerely respect the devotion and commitment and feelings of people from around the world than any money making reality shows. And the other guy, one guy came and offered that he is taking a movie on this whole scandal and he wanted Me to directly act. He offered six crore; one and half million he offered. He just said, Swamiji, all I want is 10 days of your call sheet, nothing else. I will give you six crore.
What is the reason behind people's fascination with reality shows, where celebrities are shown to be irritated, agitated, and disintegrated like them?
I just laughed and said, I am not interested in any of this. I wanted to spend time with My people, disciples who are waiting for My message and meditation, spiritual solutions around the world. Anyhow, the psychology of the reality shows, it is just too many people inside every body's head, the disintegrated intellect. And people are also so happy to see others are also irritated, agitated, disintegrated like us. You see, people always have a fantasy about celebrities, they are not like us. But when that fantasy is broken, they feel, 'Oh they are also like us only.' So it gives a kind of a very nice feeling; ego satisfaction. See, celebrities are always projected that they are higher than you, above than you. But when you crack them, it gives you a kind of fulfillment of the violent feeling you have; the vengeance you have. 'Ah, he's also you see, shouting like me only, good'. It's a kind of a revenge. That's why in all the reality shows, the more the women cry, more people watch. The TRP goes up. It's crying that makes the TRP rate high. Disintegrated intellect, understand.
What is the ultimate outcome of integrating one's intellect, emotions, and being?
When you integrate your intellect, it becomes knowledge, life solution, it leads you to life solution. You will understand about the cosmos. When you integrate your emotions, it leads to devotion, you will feel connected to cosmos. When you integrate your being, it leads to dhyana, you will realize cosmos. Understanding, emotional feeling connection, realization, all these three happens just by integration. Integrity is ultimate yoga. When integrity is added to your intellect, it leads you to life solution, it solves your prob; all problems of life. I can say, it dissolves all problems of life. When you integrate your emotion, it becomes devotion. When you integrate your being, it becomes meditation. You realize the whole cosmos. So add integrity and achieve enlightenment. Let you all experience and radiate living enlightenment. Let you all experience and radiate the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank You..
What is the significance of the 10th sloka in the second chapter of Patanjali Yoga Sutras, as per the teachings of Swami Nithyananda?
Reason and release.[..] very powerful sutra. The next Patanjali Yoga sutra, 10th sloka in second chapter. Let's enter into the sutra. Te Prati Prasavahayah Shukshmaha. Te Prati Prasava Pravasahayah Shukshmaha. Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as: The fine samskaras are to be conquered by resolving them into their causal state. Swami Prabhavananda translates as: When these obstacles have been reduced to a vestigial form they can be destroyed by resolving the mind back into its primal cause. Swami Vivethi, he translates as: These, the subtle ones, must be suppressed by a contrary course. Beautiful sutra. Te Prati Prasavahayah Shukshmaha. Te Prati Prasava Pravasahayah Shukshmaha. Vivekananda, Swami Vivekananda translates as: The fine samskaras are to be conquered by resolving them into their causal state. Ill try to give the exact truth I experience from this sutra. All the engraved memories, samskaras should be reduced to the causal state and destroyed. Understand this very clearly. It's like a thought plus attachment is engraved memory, engram. When you take away the emotional attachment from the thought - from the engram it becomes thought.
What happens to thoughts that do not become engram through attachment or attention, and how does this relate to satoris and the power of clicks?
So when it becomes thought and if it never becomes an engram again, through the attachment for some particular time, the thoughts just get burnt away. Any thought which does not become engram through any attachment or attention or entertainment from your side slowly but surely just disappears, I tell you. Constantly you go through satoris. One simple satori is enough to burn away all the thoughts which have not become engram for maybe 21 days. Any thought which has not become engram with the attachment for 21 days just gets destroyed by one click or one satori. Please understand, again and again in you the satoris go on happening, clicks go on happening. But unfortunately the power of the clicks, satori, is not realized, is not completely experienced because almost all your thoughts added with attachment is becoming engram. Any thought which comes, your mind ... the moment he sees: Oh. Maybe this thought will be useful at sometime, at sometime it will be useful. The moment you think some thought will be useful, already it has been kept as attachment. Understand these three memories. The table memory, cupboard memory, archives memory.
What is the difference between table memory and cupboard memory, as per the classification of engrams?
Table memory means the thoughts which you handle everyday, like your name, your spouse name, way to your office, your daily routine. Means the thoughts which are getting converted into engram every 21 hours. Every 21 hours those thoughts are getting converted into engram. Whenever they happen immediately attachment is added and it becomes engram. This is the one classification, one group. This is what I call table memory. Second cupboard memory, it's like a the files you have it on a table constantly you are in touch. The files you have it on the ... in the cupboard wherever you want you can pick it up or sign or use. Files you have in your archives. If you especially order work itll be released. So the cupboard memory is ... whenever it comes you add attachment to it, make it as engram. Please understand, understand the difference between this table memory and cupboard memory. Table memory is already became engram and you go on making it as a more and more powerful engram.
How do you differentiate between cupboard memory, table memory, and archive memory in the context of engrams and addictions?
Cupboard memory is like it has not become such a strong engram but exists as thought, but whenever you see you may have a desire: Oh! this will be useful at sometime. Then that becomes a kind of an engram and kept. This is what I call a luxury engrams, just a simple desire for Michael Jackson music. In the initial it will not be a big engram itll not be an addiction. All major addictions start as cupboard memory and enters into a table memory. When it becomes table memory you are bound. Nothing more can be done. When it is cupboard memory much can be done. When it is archive memory you dont need to much worry about it. All you need is just burn it without touching it. Just burn it without touching it. That is why ... you see all your past birth everything is archive memory. You dont need to worry about it. Again and again people ask me: Swamiji teach us past life regression, past life regression. I tell them actually in - for the initial level seekers you dont need past life regression. You dont need to know about it.
What is the essence of the process to convert table memory into archive memory?
It just needs to be burnt. Maybe an advanced level seekers. It's like a ... just to confirm some of the truths revealed to you by the master, some files from the past life can be re...retrieved and store - showed, as experience that's all. And that doesnt need to be compulsory for all seekers. It is not basically necessary for enlightenment. Burning only is necessary for enlightenment. Table memory, cupboard memory, archive memory. Table memory if you dont touch for 21 minutes itll become cupboard memory, Cupboard memory, if you dont touch them for 21 days, itll become archive memory, that's all. Whenever table memory happens, if you dont add attachment to it and make it as an engram for 21 hrs nothing else just 21 hrs. One full day if you dont give life to it, itll become cupboard memory. One full cycle, 21 days, if you dont give life to it, it'll become archive memory. Now the whole thing, the essence of this whole sutra is how to convert table into cupboard and cupboard in archive.
What is the difference between life solutions and conscious growth, and can one achieve a peaceful life without conscious growth?
Understand, this process not only will liberate you from the simple sufferings and problems you have in your ordinary life, it can liberate you and give you a new consciousness. Life solutions will make your life more peaceful, because of that you feel you are consciously growing. Yoga makes you little healthy because of that you feel you are consciously growing. Devotion gives you a kind of emotional fulfillment, excitement, because of that you feel you are consciously growing. But I tell you, this process will give you the direct conscious growth, breakthrough in your consciousness. I want to tell you you can make your life peaceful with life solutions without conscious growth, that is possible. Just knowing how to handle your brother or spouse or son or daughter does not necessarily need conscious growth, just simple understanding is enough. I know hundreds of programs, thousands of programs people conduct gives you a lot of life solutions, makes your life more balanced but there's no conscious breakthrough. Same way, there are hundreds of people devoted to some concept, some idea, some person, experience emotional fulfillment, but that does not necessarily mean that they have a conscious breakthrough, no.
What is the difference between having a feeling connection with an enlightened master and experiencing conscious breakthrough, and what are the implications of this difference?
If it is a feeling connection with an enlightened master then there's a possibility he will not let you be without conscious breakthrough he will insist this kind of powerful process and see that you have a conscious breakthrough. Second thing, an important thing you need to understand in this whole truth. Having health or life solutions means little peaceful life. Little different way of responding. Suddenly you dont have much anger, you dont have vengeance, you don't have hatred, this kind of attitudinal transformation. And you dont have headache, you don't have back pain, this kind of health transformation. And youre feeling emotionally fulfilled, excited, this kind of emotional fulfillment. Please understand, Im breaking one of the big part, important part. This all does not mean that you had a conscious breakthrough. This all can happen without having conscious breakthrough. Conscious breakthrough is not a important aspect for all these three things to happen in you. So understand. this process which Patanjali is talking here, directly will give you conscious breakthrough. Directly will give you conscious breakthrough. That's the most important thing. Thats the most important thing.
What is the difference between the main effect and the byproducts of a conscious breakthrough, and how can one avoid mistaking the byproducts for the main effect?
See, once the conscious breakthrough happens health, emotional excitement, and this life solutions, balanced life, all of this will happen as a side effect, as a byproduct, but these byproducts does not confirm the main effect. But the main effect confirms the byproducts. So converting engrams into thoughts is one of the major process, major process... for conscious breakthrough. For a new consciousness to happen in your inner space. For a new consciousness to happen in your inner space. Understand, its a very important thing. Im just trying to explain to you all not to mistake the byproduct into the main product, main happening. The main happening is sacred, byproducts can be marketed. There's There's a big difference. Main happening happens only with the sacredness of an incarnation. The presence of an incarnation, the presence of the master. All of you need to know, when you see somebody radiating the byproducts, or you yourself radiating the byproducts, if you mistake you are... you have a conscious breakthrough that is what I call pseudo-enlightenment.
What is the problem with people who are interested only in the byproducts of a conscious breakthrough?
You thinking you have a pseudo-enlightenment, sorry you think you have enlightenment not without having or you think somebody has, without him having both are worst conspiracies against your consciousness. Sometime the person who had a conscious breakthrough will not appeal to your mind if you are not interested in conscious breakthrough. If you are interested only in the byproduct you will be interested in the person who is showing byproducts. If you read all the Jeevan Muktha Lakshana means the. the ideas you carry about the Jeevan Muktha, a living enlightenment, most of them will be based on the exhibition of the byproducts. That does not mean the main happening has happened. I always try to define the byproducts which never happens without the main happening. That is why I am unmarketable. The people who work to spread my teachings or all those things they always, they have a constant problem, how to brand me. How to tell about me to the world. It is impossible because I am not byproduct based. I am main conscious happening based.
What is the reason why the sacred center of the sangha and you cannot be marketed, yet you will continue to spread your teachings?
So as long as that sacred center remains as the center of the sangha and me, we can not be marketed but we will be going on spreading. We will constantly spread just by the peer pressure of the 2012. See, the 2012 creates a kind of a peer pressure. You understand peer pressure means all around, if all around people are doing something you get peer pressured, you also have to do that same thing. So that 2012 is creating a peer pressure on the whole cosmos and all masters, I am doing something come on you do. So now all masters are running around; one side Mahavatar Baba is running around another side Sridi Baba is running around Rama Krishna is running around all the guys are running around. The peer pressure gets into just because of that peer pressure, Ill be cons .. - Ill intensely spreading but I can never be marketed. It's like a people will suddenly have darshans, visions, experiences, connect, and be here. That is why all our programs are always intense and sacred based, the byproducts happens. But I go on insisting on the conscious breakthrough.
What is the significance of working directly on conscious breakthrough in meditation, as opposed to focusing on other aspects of life such as relationships, health, or emotional stability?
This technique is on conscious breakthrough; it is on conscious breakthrough. When you remove attachment from the engrams it becomes thought and thoughts do not affect your inner space. I tell you, thoughts are like a venom-less snakes, poison-less snakes. They cant do anything, they are just there, that's all. They are just there. They are poison-less snakes. Then naturally you will have conscious breakthrough. This process, samskara dahana kriya is one of the best technique to convert the engrams into thoughts. I wanted all of you to understand another one important thing, working directly on life solutions or making your health better or making the emotional excitement stable in you, these all can be side tracks, diversions. But working directly on the conscious breakthrough is much more important than working on just having little peace in your family, little peace in your relationships, little health. Meditation is not a substitute for Anazine Metazine (24:37) Meditation is not a substitute for how to win friends and influence people. The Dale Carnegies book, meditation is not a supplement for just to keep emotional excitement. Its a direct process for conscious breakthrough.
Why does it take a long time for people to understand the importance of the direct conscious breakthrough?
That is why to make people understand the importance of the direct conscious breakthrough takes such a long time. Because theyll ask: What will I gain. Arrey the conscious breakthrough is the ultimate gain. No, no, no. What will I gain in practical level. Means you go on associating yourself as just a body and mind. That is why you claim, you claim, you think, you feel that body and mind is the practical you. Ill tell a story from Ramayana. Rama killed three people. One Bali, another one Kakasura, third one Ravana and Kumbhakarna. Ravana and Kumbhakarna can be put together the war. The war he killed so many Bali Kakasura and Ravana and Kumbhakarna. These Ravana and Kumbhakarna can be considered as a more like a working on this life solution. Just Ravana is nothing but the head, the ego with so many problems. Cutting each head, solving each problem. And Kumbhakarna is the tamas, inertness, dullness. Destroying those things is more like a making your relationships much better and actually Rama killed Ravana and Khumbakarana to have Sita back, relationship line.
What is the significance of killing Bali, destroying Ravana and Kumabhakarana, and killing Kakashura in the context of spiritual practice?
He killed Bali to have health, strength back to have Sugreeva means Sugreeva means the strength, strength back. So again working on health. Killing Bali can be considered more like a yoga practice. Destroying Ravana and Kumabhakarana can be considered more like a practicing life solutions. And killing Kakashura, destroying Kakashura, demon of crow, crow demon is directly destroying the engraved memories, understand. You need to understand that whole story. Crow, one of the important qualities of crow is it associates itself, the seer associating itself with the instrument. That is the definition of attachment and definition of crow. You'll be shocked that word kaka, that bird itself has defined in our tradition as; the bird which the seer getting attached with the instrument of seeing. Exactly that is what Kakashura does; he sees Sita and loses his sense. Attaches himself to the instrument of seeing, wanted to harass Sita. Understand in this one in this story Sita is a individual's consciousness. Rama is superconsciousness, and this crow is the engram. Now the engram need to get converted into thoughts. Means the attachment need to be removed. But because of the attachment only engram is harassing the individual consciousness.
What is the significance of Rama taking away one eye of the Kakashura before destroying him, and how does this relate to the removal of attachment from the engram?
The Kakashura goes and harasses the Sita. Sita gets frightened and asks for help from Rama, superconsciousness how the individual soul gets shaken and runs for help from the superconsciousness. Then Rama intervenes. You should know a very funny thing Rama did not kill the Kakashura first. First thing he does is he takes away one eye, then Kakashura realizes his association, the seer, how he gets associated with the instrument of seeing. That is what is trying to remove the attachment from the engram. It becomes thought. And after that he destroys the thought, liberates individual consciousness from the bondage. He liberates Sita from Kakashura. And one more thing Sita getting frightened about the crow is direct engram; a crow cannot frighten a man-woman you understand. Just like you getting frightened about the cockroach, cockroach cannot kill you. But the moment you see a cockroach or lizard complete fear, why. It is an engram, more engram than reality. So Sita getting frightened about crow is more engram than reality. A crow can not kill women but it is an engram so understand. When Kakashuravada happened, Rama gives a conscious breakthrough to Sita. That is the story.
What is the significance of this place for women to have a conscious breakthrough in consciousness?
That's the meaning behind the whole story. And all of you are aware it happened just nearby. Our banyan tree is the place where Devi had a conscious breakthrough and this hill is the place where Sita had a breakthrough in consciousness. So this is the Kshetra for women to have conscious breakthrough. Of course it does not mean men will not have, specially for women to have a breakthrough in consciousness. Actually to have breakthrough in consciousness there is no such thing as men or women but unfortunately men went on designing techniques for breakthrough, they bothered only about the male body. Very few masters worked creating techniques for female body. Reducing the engram into thought is the essence of this sutra. That's what I call Samskara Dahana Kriya. This process of Samskara Dahana Kriya by talking it out without you responding emotionally to it or a person who does not respond emotionally to it.
What is the effect of sharing an engram with a person who does not console or criticize you?
See when you have a person who does not console you or criticize you, when you share with that person suddenly the engram goes through a very difficult space where neither a person who is uttering nor a person who is listening adding attachment to it. So the engram feels insecure, gets shivered and slowly it falls into the space of thought. It is no more engram. This is one of the powerful process, one of the best cathartic method. There are hundreds of catharsis method, where the engrams slowly can be converted into thoughts. This Samskara Dahana Kriya is a very powerful process. Have a person who is not supposed to respond. Does not judge, does not sympathize - sympathizers are tranquilizers. Anybody who sympathizes with your engram are putting you in the kind of a tranquilized mood, means they are making you unconscious. They give you the anesthetic effect. That is why you want always somebody who sympathizes with you and who gives you a kind of a unconscious support. You pick up only those kind of friends and you love to talk to them through phone or directly, you feel that they give you power. No.
What is the effect of having people who sympathize with you, and how can you overcome it?
They are giving you anesthesia. Avoid the people who sympathize with you. They will destroy you. Because they go on, will be supporting your engrams and they will become more stronger and stronger than you.Those engrams will become more powerful than you. So do not have sympathizers, sympathizers are more like a... anesthesia. So have somebody who does not judge you, sympathize you, or respond to you, just listens to you. Go on telling all the stories, all the engrams. Suddenly youll see, when there is no response from the other side, the response from this side also drops and it becomes just information. It is... itdoes not hold any more power over you. It does not have any attachment, slowly the attachment loses. Then the engram gets converted into thought when it is just thought it is very easy to burn it just with a simple click or one satori. If it is just thought, simple presence of the master is enough itll be burnt. Nothing else is required, nothing else is required. I can say thoughts are more like a word document, engrams are more like a higher resolution pictures.
What is the analogy between a hard disk crash and depression, and how does it relate to Samskara Dahan Kriya?
If you have a ten higher resolution pictures, that is enough. Your hard disk will crash but if it's a word document you can have million. Hard disk crash is what depression. Your inner space is filled with too many high resolution pictures. The more you're attached to it, more higher resolution it is. Converting all your higher resolution pictures into word document is what I call Samskara Dahan Kriya. Word documents does not harass, does not disturb, does not disturb, does not take away too much space. Does not take away too much space. Convert all your Samskaras into thoughts, you will see conscious breakthrough in your inner space. I am not ... please understand, again I want to tell I am not here just to give you this life solution or health or emotional fulfillment, I am here to give you conscious breakthrough. I am here to push the human consciousness into new consciousness. Transformed consciousness into the higher level so these all happen as a side effect byproduct. If people remember me associate me with my byproducts, if they remember me just by my byproducts it's disrespect, understand. It's like a forgetting the main thing.
What is the main offering that I am giving to the human consciousness, and why is it considered sacred?
So I wanted to be associated with the direct, main offering which I am giving to the human consciousness, which is conscious breakthrough. Breakthrough in consciousness, means new conscious opening. New conscious happening. More than opening, the word happening is the right word - new conscious happening. So let us all work on conscious happening. That is why so much of sacredness I emphasize on this whole process. It is sacred. Not just replacement for the Anazine-metazine or the courses and books; like a how to win friends and influence people, no. The levitation is not just a Siddhi. Understand, I am not teaching you levitation as an extraordinary power. What is the use. Even if you fly, what is the use. There are so many flights, you can get into it and fly. Why should you waste your time in just flying by yourself. No need. It is a side effect happens as your consciousness raising. When your consciousness raises with whatever it was connected, that object also raises. Some small ripples are created in that objects, that is what is levitation.
What is the significance of levitation, anima, mahima, lahima, and karima in the context of conscious breakthrough?
See levita - anima, mahima, lahima, karima and all is a ripple effect created in your body when your conscious breakthrough happens. When the new consciousness is happening in your system the side effect, a ripple effect, of that is the anima, lahima, mahima, karima. All these siddhis, they are just byproducts not main product now. Suddenly if you see last three, four days Im diverting your attention more to the conscious breakthrough. The levitation is just a simple excitement, nothing else to make you interested here is a candy. Now come on sit and start the conscious breakthrough. It's a candy for you and candy for the world, that's all. Nothing else. But conscious happening, conscious opening is the main goal. Enlightenment is the main goal. Somehow the moment it becomes sandhya. Even though I wanted to tell so many things I feel like more than telling - giving. Just doing. Let's do it ... mmm. Let's do it. Let us make engrams into simple thoughts and burn them. Live and radiate enlightenment. Let you all live and radiate the eternal bliss - Nithyananda, thank you..
What is the significance of past life experiences in relation to physical manifestations and diseases?
Rebirth - a fantasy or reality; morning satsang subject. I have some quotations and discoveries, inventions, opinions of researchers and scientists. Roger J Woolger a psychotherapist of modern age gives evidences for diseases that got cured when the past life trauma was removed. He quotes womans chronic migraine disappeared after reliving the agony of a seven year old dying from the head wounds inflicted with an iron bar wielded by her father. These are some of the direct experiences of the people who work in the line of past life; who work in the line of past life regressions. Woolger refers to the physical manifestations of apparent past life experiences as inherited structures; the physical manifestations of apparent past life experiences as inherited structures. A weak stomach may carry; a weak stomach may carry past life memories of poisoning, starvation and dysentery. He is right. If you have a past life memory of poisoning, dysentery or starvation your stomach can be weak.
What is the basic nature of a human being that leads to social conditioning?
Not only that even if you see continuously people who starve or poisoned, having dysentery, understand even if you see, because whenever you see psychological weakness or physiological weakness the first thing you do is put yourself in that position and see. That is the basic nature of human being. That is the root of social conditioning. Please understand all social conditioning is not forced on you by society. Anything happens in society; you put yourself in that position and see what would I do if I am in that position. That is where you take social conditioning upon you. Society does not condition you. You get conditioned by society. Its totally different. See there is so much happening, really even your parents are not such cruel people to make you like this. No. They are not cruel, they are ignorant. Understand, only when you understand they are ignorant you can forgive them and get out of this conditioning. Understand there is so much that happens around. Whenever you put yourself in that position you associate completely yourself in that position.
What is the process of future planning that occurs when you feel the click of possibility to be in a particular position?
When you feel the click, that possibility for you to be in that position exists, see when you see for example you are ten million worth as per the western language, if you think you are ten million worth whenever you see a person twenty million worth you know the possibility for you to be in his position exists. So all his good part of the life and bad part of the life you start thinking; contemplating. If I am in his position and if that good thing hits me what will I do. If that bad thing hits me what will I do. This is what is your future planning. You know the possibility, it clicks, then you put yourself in that position and whatever happens in you is called conditioning. Understand, understand this point, the conditioning, when you feel the click, the possibility for you to exist there exists, immediately you start thinking putting yourself in that position and start seeing the positive and negative. Positive and negative and anything happens in you when you contemplate on that positive and negative is called social conditioning.
How do you condition your DNA by constantly putting yourself in someone else's position, and what are the consequences of not being rooted in yourself?
So when somebody is seen food poisoned, starvation, dysentery you always put yourself in that position. May be when it comes to the extreme of food poisoning you think no, no, no, that may not happen in my life but there is a possibility of dysentery. What will I do if this happens in me. Immediately your DNA is conditioned now. Understand not only the second layer past means, the past life dysentery, food poisoning and starvation, even in the first layer past, in past living also you catch this kind of engrams through putting yourself in that position. Actually all the calamity and chaos is just because you constantly putting yourself in somebodys position. See you dont have base on you; you dont get rooted in you. You go on putting yourself in somebodys position and the ideas which you collected about society; this is the way it should be, this is the way it should be, this is the way it should be. All are just you putting yourself in somebody elses position.
What is the root cause of our suffering and karma, and how does it manifest in our daily lives?
When you put constantly yourself in somebody elses position and see; what will I do if that comes to me what will I do if this comes to me Oh God I think it will be great and Oh god I dont think I can handle it. These two are social conditioning, this two are social conditioning. I can see how the past life and past living are almost, I can say almost one and the same. I have to use the word almost because it is not exactly; more than 90% one and the same. All the first layer past life, past living theories will, can be adopted into second layer past life theory or call second layer theories which is worthy or which can be adopted in the past lives, will be adopted in past living. How you get conditioned by society and constantly entertain, cherish, the sufferings and the karma whether it is in the plane of economy or in the plane of physical health or in the plane of relationships you always put yourself in somebodys position and plan. What will I do. Oh God.
What happens if you can just avoid two things as far as your awareness goes, as much as your awareness penetrates, as much as your consciousness goes?
Is it not great if I am in his position or I dont think I will be able to handle if I am in his shoes. This two, if you can just avoid this two as far as your awareness goes, as much as your awareness penetrates, as much as your consciousness goes, just see your awareness, your consciousness, your intelligence; that much you avoid thats enough. Its a very beautiful stotra. I am not able to tell you exactly verse but I can share that sentiment with you from Kabir. I am going through some of the great songs of Kabir to learn Hindi. You should learn a language only from poetry never from a prose. That is why all our vedic traditional teaching system was based on poetry. Never prose was written in our vedic tradition. In no language which took birth from Sanskrit whether it is a Tamil Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi, Bengali, Oriya, all the languages which I know took birth from Sanskrit have no writing in prose. The writing in prose has started only few hundred years before.
What is the ideal method of teaching languages, according to the methodology of ancient times?
Whether it is a Marathi, any language you analyze, there is no writing in prose, because the methodology of teaching was always through poetry. I think eN Vidyalaya should imbibe this system. Learn more, the language teaching and learning should be based on poetry; more poetry based less prose based. Prose should be only used to explain poetry but should never be a writing lesson. Writing should always be through poetry. When you learn a language through poetry, you will be a poet. See being a poet is not just an intellectual capability, it is an existential reality. See there are some things which are not intellectual capabilities, existential realities. If there is no gap between your intellectual capabilities and existential realities you are enlightened; thats all. See whatever you are showing to the world - poetry, writing, singing, dancing or spiritual knowledge; whatever you are showing to the world if it is your existential reality, you are enlightened. If you dont show anything to the world and you dont have anything and being not having anything is your existential reality, you are enlightened.
What is the difference between intellectual capability and existential reality in the context of enlightenment?
There are so many people I know they have not shown anything to the world, any intellectual capability and they did not have; they are enlightened. They lived an enlightened life. The mouni babas, Baul mystics, tantric saints, wandering monks, parivrajakaacharyas; they did not show any extraordinary intellectual capability to the world. They just know they do not have. Whatever they were showing is their existential reality. They are enlightened. Being a poet, being a dancer, being a singer or being an intellectual orator or being a writer should be an existential reality not just intellectual capability. When you teach a language to a child he should just sing in that language. His whole inner space should be singing. So for the sake of others to understand you can translate that song into words; thats all. But he himself should be just humming inside. When I read Kabir thats what I understood. Oh God! this fellow I know for sure never had any thoughts in his life. He had only poets in his life; because you cannot go that depth of sentiments, extraordinary sentiments, the sacred sentiments.
What is the second sacred sentiment that connects Kabirs sentiment and the concept you are talking about?
He is expressing one sacred sentiment -Please dont appear, oh my beloved dont appear in front of me. Even remembering that you may enter my house, my eye is already come out to see you to grab your form. Never ever do the mistake of appearing. I dont know what will happen. Understand the second sacred sentiment. I expressed only one. The second only connects that Kabirs sentiment and the concept which I am talking. The second sentiment is Just because my senses are completely outside my system outside my prana sharira to grab you, there is nobody to process information and create social conditioning inside. Only if you understand the sacred sentiments, actually if you yourself have experienced at least once or twice that your senses are lost in the glory of the Master and there is nobody sitting inside doing some social conditioning and grumbling, grudging about who gets more time around Master or who gets more attention or.....When you dont have, when you yourself have experienced those few moments or who gets bigger post in the organization who is in bigger hierarchy in the organization.......See always males suffer with the hierarchy, females suffer with attention.
What is the condition required to understand Kabir's sacred sentiments?
When you dont have that two, just by being lost, the senses are protruding, just going out of your prana sharira to grab him, to grab his presence. If you experience this for few second then you will understand what Kabir is singing; because sacred sentiments can be understood only if you had one iota of that understanding. See if Kabir sings 100 sacred sentiment, if you understand at least one unit of one sentiment as experience in you, only then you can even grab that 100 unit of his pleasure or the intensity of his sacred sentiment. This is one of the basic lesson you need to have to grab the strength of sacred sentiments. That is why, when a young man goes to Ramanujacharya he asks I want to achieve that parabhakti, devotion; that great devotion. Ramanuja asks Have you loved anybody have you fallen in love with somebody in your life. This fellow says No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, what nonsense. I am a born celibate; balabrahmachari. No, I lived a pure life. What are you talking. I came to you for parabhakti. Then Ramanuja says Relax. Go back.
What is the first step to experience parabhakti, as taught by you?
First learn falling in love with somebody and come back. I can teach you parabhakti. Really, you need to experience at least one ray of that sacred sentiment. Actually when you really, really, really, really, fall in love even in ordinary way, what you call as ordinary way, a ray of sacred sentiment will be awakened in you even with an ordinary person; because at one point you may have to sacrifice the constant remembrance of me, me, me, me, me, which is the root of all suffering. You may have to just push that away for few seconds so that one moment you would have had that sacred sentiment experience; that one unit. That one unit is enough for you to grab what Andal would have felt with Krishna or Meera would have felt with Krishna or Manikyavasagar would have felt with Shiva or Ramana Maharishi would have felt with Arunachala. Read his Marital garland of letters for Arunachala Aksharamanamalai extreme, extreme, I dont have any word. If I have to say naked madhura bhava; a unhidden unclothed madhura bhava.
What is the deeper or naked madhura bhava work that you have seen, and how does it compare to Aksharamanmalai?
I have not seen any deeper or naked madhura bhava work than Aksharamanmalai; the marital garland of letters put by Ramana Maharishi to Arunachala. I can never.....when I really, really started deeply understanding.....you see earlier when I used to see Bhagavans photo, his teachings, that who am I and all that, I used to have a great respect. Of course its not that afterwards I lost. A great, very untouchable respect. Oh! great Avatara purusha just sitting in a deep calmness and peace and that eternal silence under a small hut gazing the great hill and its silence being immersed in the satchitananda akhanda paripoorna brahma swaroopa; the whole understanding and relationship was great and elderly, amazing saint. Only when I read his Aksharamanamalai, the marital garland of letters, I thought Oh God. I can say in the initial level my understanding about Ramana Maharishi was respect based more Dasa bhava. When you see, he opening up himself to Arunachala and really it is a great opening up aar kavanai andanai agathidil akhilam badithidum Arunachala. For whose sake, if I have to translate very crude form you grabbed me or you snatched me.
What is the significance of the sacred sentiments expressed by a devotee, and how does it affect the connection with the devotee and the object of devotion?
Now if you forsake me the whole world will abuse you. What a, what a secret or a personal intimate sacred sentiment Aimbula kalvar agathinil pugumbudu agathini ilayo Arunachala. You are the owner of my house you are supposed to be possessive of me but these five senses, these thieves are coming and trying to rape me are you not aware. Are you a man. He is asking iduoe aanmai Arunachala; are you a man. The greatness of the sacred sentiments is you will feel so deeply connected to the person and the object to which the person is expressing the sentiment. See for example when Manikyavasagar sings about Arunachala, Shiva it is not that when you read that sacred sentiment you will feel connected only to the Shiva. You will feel connected to Manikyavasagar also. When Kabir sings on Ram it is not you will feel connected only to Ram you will feel connected to Kabir also. Because he is letting you experience your intimacy; his intimacy with his beloved he is opening up.
What is the difference in your relationship with Ramana Maharishi before and after understanding the Aksharamanamalai?
Same way when you know the sacred sentiments of Ramana Maharishi, it is not that you will feel connected only to Arunachala you will feel connected to him also. So my whole relationship to Ramana Maharishi got completely changed when I understood the Aksharamanamalai. Oh God when this guy when he is looking at Arunachala what he must be thinking. I used to think earlier when he is gazing at Arunachala, Oh he is in samadhi, great guy just being in nirvikalpa. This sacred sentiment of Kabir, I dont know who gave me the book; there is a beautiful book in my room Love songs of Kabir. Very, I have read at least few books on Kabir but this selection was amazing. Some of these guys Rumi, Kabir, this Manikyavasagar, Oh God. I feel just to enjoy these fellows I want to assume more and more and more bodies; nothing else just to enjoy these fellows; this Kabir, Rumi, Manikyavasagar. I tell you a man who does not know how to enjoy sacred sentiments; he is missing one of the greatest inner gadgets in his life.
How do you think you would feel if you suddenly lost all your outer world gadgets, and what does this have to do with experiencing sacred sentiments?
For example if you guys are not having any of the outer gadgets like a cell phone, laptop and any outside outer gadgets just think of your life. If you just, suddenly overnight all the gadgets from the outer world are not there with you, how you will feel. Thats a same way these guys who dont know how to experience these sacred sentiments. They do not have the inner world gadgets. If you have the outer world gadgets you can do so many things in the outer world. Same way this enjoying this sacred sentiments is the inner world gadget. These sacred sentiment of Kabir - my senses are protruding just feeling that you may come sometime to my hut, to grab your form. But never do the mistake of coming because I dont know what will happen to me and just because of this, there is nobody inside to process information and create social conditioning. So enlightenment happens as the side effect. That is why this bhaktas dont care about gnana. Bhakta this great devotees dont care about enlightenment.
What is the primary reason why bhaktas do not care for gnana, and how can it be made available to children from a young age?
No really, bhaktas dont care for gnana because when the senses protrude into something and being lost there is nobody to create social conditioning. So, from the young age enjoying sacred sentiment; that gadget should be made available to all our kids. Its an instruction for eN Vidyalaya and all our devotees who have kids. They should take this as a one more smruti code. So every day in my morning satsangs whenever I want I will go on be revealing this smruti codes. Let them take it. This is a one more smruti code. Our devotees, disciples, followers, who have kids should encourage, initiate and teach our kids how to enjoy sacred sentiments. Either making them listen or read or understand or work with it. There are so many ways, you can think, but enjoying sacred sentiment is a inner world gadget and more the teaching and learning process should be based on poetry as much as possible. Prose should be used only to make them understand poetry; thats all. Otherwise the backbone of the teaching structure should be poetry; so that they will learn more to be with the, live with the existential reality than intellectual capability.
What is the first step to overcome social conditioning, and what is the second step to achieve this, according to the sacred sentiment of today's message?
So the essence of todays message is this sacred sentiment. Social conditioning happens in you when you constantly put yourself in others positions; whether it clicks with you or does not click with you. If it clicks with you, you may create fear and greed. That becomes social conditioning. If it does not click with you again there is a gap and that becomes social conditioning. Stop doing that internal process; constant chewing, putting yourself in others position; thats the first. Second; how to do. For the how to, the instruction for how to is learn to lose yourself in the sacred sentiments. Learn to lose yourself in the sacred sentiments. Its very easy it is not a big thing; its not a big thing. The moment I describe some sacred sentiment about love if you just have that secret joy inside and that uncontrollable smile, then be very clear you have the inner world gadget. You have that inner world gadget. Be proud about it celebrate you have it. Unfortunately we take this all for granted. In the world many people dont have. If you have, celebrate, enjoy. Whatever you celebrate will grow in you.
What is the significance of creating a goal and path for not allowing engrams to accumulate in the mind, as per the teachings of the guru?
If you dont have, create; create one. Its possible it is possible. So I have given clear goal and the path for not allowing more and more engrams accumulating in you and reliving the past, relieving it in the present, reviving your future, rewiring your brain. With so much of knowledge, energy, intelligence, healing millions of people, initiating thousands of people, still some part of me is sitting like a child and shedding tears for Siva Puranam and the Devaaram. When I hear in that car or morning, morning when I get up and try to do my so called body stretching, it will be very funny if you see I will try to hold the wall and do something. I can see very clearly that wall is begging, should I stand or move, tell me what do you want me to do. Because I will be pushing, the wall feels are you pushing me, just tell me at least I will move. I will tell no, no, no, all you guys will be in your position. I am trying to do something with my body; relax.
How does the idea of 'I am a lie, my heart is a lie, my love is a lie' relate to the state of a person with so much karma, as described in the Devaram?
Because I got my some steel pieces, dumbbells and all, the moment I try to hold and squeeze, that elements the molecules in that steel ask should I change. Tell me what you want me to do. I say no you remain in your place in your shape. I dont want that. I am trying to do something with this structure. So anyhow even during those few moments, when those sacred sentiments I hear, this Devaram only, Devaram and Thiruvasaram, at that time oh God. Yaanei poi yennejum poi yenanbum poi. See he describes I am a lie my heart is a lie my love is a lie and but vinayen anaal vinayen aludal unai perulame. Person with so much of karmas, vinayen means the person with so much of karmas, if I melt down I can have you. See I already had him I am having him so I dont need to feel melt down with this sacred sentiment. See this idea I am lie, my heart is lie, does not directly fit with me because whatever is the lie part is already disappeared and the person with so much of karma that also does not fit with me.
What is the experience of a liberated being who has transcended the duality of seeker and attained, and can now visit the other shore of enlightenment with a sense of detachment and joy?
I dont have any karma and if I melt down I can have you. That also does not fit with me. Already I have him. I have whatever need to be had. But even then with all this, looking from the other shore, see there are two shores; a seeker and attained; advaita and dvaita. Tasting the water which runs in the other shore has always a secret taste. Sometime I wonder what is going on and it is such a sweet feeling, its like a after you became a big guy, established guy, going back to your school, and just looking around and donating them some money. See you are when you were in the school you were not enjoying, now you are liberated from it but you can go back and show who you are. Same way now you are no more a seeker; that feeling the other shore is not binding you but you can just visit the other shore and from the other shore look at this shore, how it feels. The sacred sentiments gives you the joy of all sides of enlightenment.
What is the significance of sacred sentiments in the context of advaita anubhooti enlightenment experience?
I tell you sacred sentiments is the focus light put on all sides on a temple tower. You see advaita anubhooti enlightenment experience; like a temple tower it stands. But the focus lights put on eight directions that suddenly lights the whole tower and the whole tower is seen in a different perception. You experience the whole tower in a different way because of this few focus lights. The sacred sentiments are like different focus lights. Dasa bhava, matru bhava, sakha bhava and madhura bhava, the different, maha bhava, different focus lights to see the different dimensions of the temple tower. Extraordinary sacred sentiments, I can say sacred sentiments is the technique to clean your third layer past; big bang to this moment. Kabir. What a plane of consciousness these guys would have lived what a space they would have floated. Sacred sentiments makes enlightenment as immediate. You see whatever makes your goal as a goal for you is gnana. Whatever makes your goal as immediate for you is bhakti. Thats all is the definition. Anything makes your goal as immediate is bhakti. The sacred sentiments make the whole experience as now; immediate.
What is the nature of the mind and the heart, and how do they change in relation to love and reciprocation?
Yaane poi yennejum poi yennanbum poi; if you just sit and see, the whole thing is true because any moment your mind can change; any moment what you think as you changes. The very idea you have about you changes. Yaane poi yennejum poi my heart is a lie; very shallow. Morning it feels love evening it feels hatred next day morning it feels agitated by evening it feels irritated and from third day every time it feels irritated and after third day no change. yennejum poi yenanbum poi my love is a lie. If there is no reciprocation from the other side it can just change and become hatred; then how can that be love. It just remains as love as long as there is reciprocation from the other side. That is why in the initial level you can practice sacred sentiment only with the master because he reciprocates. Only after that you can practice that real sacred sentiments with the deities. In the initial level you need somebody who reciprocates because any sacred sentiment in you, love in you will grow only if it is reciprocated.
What is the process of developing pure solid love, as described in the life of Manikyavasagar?
First master will make it as; he will reciprocate, so it will grow. Then he will stop reciprocating and turn that into atma bhakti; means learning to grow in love without being reciprocated. Thats where that pure solid love starts happening. But in the beginning always the love which dies without reciprocation is the lie. Aanal vinayen aludal unai perulame but even though I am loaded with samskara and karma if I melt down I can have you, GOD\\!\\!\\. What a mood this guy would have been living; this Manikyavasagar. This sentiment is from him. He always lives outside the village. Wherever he goes to have the darshan of the temple deity, Shiva temple, usually all the South Indian town the centre will be temple and around the temple, the village will be built. He will go and have darshan in the temple, but come and stay only outside the village because this guy is in such an ecstasy he cant wear clothes. See the extraordinary joy the whole skin has become so soft he cant wear clothes. Manikyavasagar, if you see his life always he will stay outside the city.
What is the common trait between the way Swami Nithyananda and Ramakrishna lived their lives?
Even in Tiruvannamalai he stayed outside the city in a small village. He will go everyday to temple and come back, come away. He will not stay in the city. Same way with Ramakrishna because always he was in that ecstasy he cant wear the clothes. Let you all achieve and radiate enlightenment. Let you all achieve, live, experience, express, radiate, the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you..
What is the inherent nature of life, and why do we experience it as bliss, even when our body is moving?
Continuously, in all of us, life is happening. That is why our body is moving; still we are able to feel we are alive. By its very nature, life is bliss; by its very nature, life is bliss. So whether you want it or not, you accept it or not, you realize i.
