From the works of Enlightened master Paramahamsa Nithyananda. In this talk Nithyananda discusses how one deals with non possessiveness. He says that sometimes its as easy as just dropping that thing with no pain. The other side of the coin is where one feels pain and suffering while going through this non possessiveness. Nithyananda smiles and emphasizes that this is the most powerful master as pain and suffering purifies you. Its only when one goes through pain and suffering and then unclutches that one is liberated from pain and suffering of possessiveness. Jain Sutras, March 2007, Los Angeles.

===Description:===
  
 
From the works of Enlightened master Paramahamsa Nithyananda. In this talk Nithyananda discusses how one binds himself with insecurity and desires of people and things around himself. He asks one to deeply analyze and see that one cannot enjoy the things around if he/she is bound to hold on to these things. He says that non possessiveness is always discussed by Mahavira after non violence because only the one established in non violence is also capable enough to liberate himself from possessions. He authoritatively declares that dropping desires is foolishness and hence increasing ones inner space to accommodate all the desires is the real trick. Jain Sutras, March 2007, Los Angeles.

From the works of Enlightened master Paramahamsa Nithyananda. In this talk Nithyananda discusses how all masters always speak about desires. If one can transcend beyond desires, then he can break himself through the cycle of life and death. Nithyananda reveals that all Jains have take a conscious birth in those families so that they can work towards their self realization and that and that only should be their ultimate goal and the ultimate desire.

Let’s enter into the first sutra. First sutra is about ahimsa. Dhamma sutra, ahimsa sutra:
 +
Dhammo Mangal Mukkitham, Ahimsa Sanjamo Tavo,
 +
Deva Vi Tan Namasanti, Jass Dhamme Saya Mano.
 +
Beautiful, it is not actually Sanskrit, it was the Sanskrit which was used in those days by common people, it is like a spoken Sanskrit; we call with different words Pali, all these words are used to name this language. There are few more names, but this is not Sanskrit. It is a common man’s language. Sanskrit was used only by Pundits. Buddha and Mahavir both of them used the language used by common people. They wanted to reach common people. They wanted to express the truth; see, they are not interested in showing themself as a great people. They are interested only in the truth. So, they have worked towards reaching the truth to more and more people. Let Me give the translation.

 +
What is the most superior dharma? Ahimsa is the most superior dharma. A person who has established himself in Ahimsa, even the Devatas salute him.
 +
See, I started with non-possessiveness, Aparigraha and I told that we will enter into the sutras, but the first sutra is about Ahimsa. Understand Ahimsa is the first step towards non-possessiveness. That is why Mahavira is speaking about Ahimsa, then goes to Aparigraha. Let us analyze this Ahimsa little deeply. He is saying, Ahimsa Sanjamo Tavo
 +
Dhammo Mangal Mukkitham, Ahimsa Sanjamo Tavo,
 +
Deva Vi Tan Namasanti, Jass Dhamme Saya Mano.

What is the most superior dharma? Ahimsa is the most superior dharma. Person who has established himself in Ahimsa, even the Devatas salute him.
 +
Ahimsa is the most superior dharma. That is the truth. Understand. You can drop any dharma but Ahimsa is the dharma which you can’t drop. It is the basic understanding for human beings to co-exist, to live together. Without Ahimsa, no human being can live on the planet earth. Please understand. Even the people who committed hundreds of murders, at some point they had Ahimsa. That is why they have not murdered some other people. See, from the young age at some point they were with Ahimsa means non violence, otherwise the day they are born they would have started killing from the parents.
 +

[04:44]
 +

Ahimsa is the basic truth of life, one important thing you should understand, all the great Masters, whether Buddha, Krishna, Mahavira, Shiva, all of them are talking more about Ahimsa. All the eastern Masters talk more about Ahimsa than about love; Love comes only second. Ahimsa is emphasized. But for western mind, the word love looks more appropriate, because it is positive things… positive thing. Non violence is more like a negative, but ahimsa is more like a positive. And the love… sorry love is more like a positive. But all the eastern Masters, they emphasize more on non violence than love because in love, slowly you become aggressive, not only that, when you say I love you, you give some promise to the other person, and all promises are failures. The moment you give promise to somebody and you don’t fulfill, that is also non-violence… that is also violence.
 +
 
 +
[06:21]
 +
 
 +
You give a promise to somebody that, “I love you, I am going to create heaven around you.” The moment you say you love somebody, directly or indirectly you have given many promises, sharing roses, and giving them the idea that you are going to create heaven for the other person, or you are really going to make the other person happy. You have given so many ideas to the other person, and when you don’t fulfill, it is violence. With non violence you are very clear, when you start you are very clear, “I can say only one thing, I will not hurt you.” That’s all. So, the right way to start love is non violence, not love. Love will happen when you really experience non violence and you cannot make love happen. No. You can work only in the direction of non violence, love will happen as a byproduct. If you try to work directly in the line of love, you will mess up, and you will end up creating troubles for you and for the other.
 +
 
 +
[07:41]
 +
 
 +
Non violence, ahimsa is such a powerful dharma. I always tell people even in My Ashram, see there is nothing, no rule which will take you away from enlightenment. To tell you honestly, even all so called morality, everything is only a social rule. There is only one dharma, one rule, which is directly connected to consciousness. Understand. All dharma’s are based on conscience, means your mind, conscience, which will change in every century. In some part of the planet earth vegetarian, eating vegetarian food is the only right thing, and in some other part you can eat non veg. That is perfectly alright. The social rules always change. Morality has no solid base on consciousness. There is no dharma which will…. which is directly connected to consciousness. All dharma… all morality is only related to your conscience, means the society. If you change the place where you live, the morality changes. It is just like a constitution of every country, law; it is just a social law. But there is one dharma, one truth, which is directly related to consciousness, which is universal. That is Ahimsa. That is why we say, ‘Ahimsa Paramo Dharmah’, that is the ultimate dharma, more superior dharma. Non violence is the ‘Paramo dharmah’. See, unless you learn, you imbibe the idea of non violence you can't live on the planet earth. It is a simple, basic, preliminary understanding to live and let live, to co-exist on the planet earth.

There is a beautiful sutra in Patanjali which says, ahiṁsā-pratiṣṭhāyāṁ vaira-tyāgaḥ amazing Sutra. He says if you are established in Ahimsa, in front of you all enmity disappears. There are thousands of stories, animals or people dropping their negativity and enmity in front of enlightened Masters, thousands of stories. In Buddha’s life we can say so many stories. There was a mad elephant sent to kill Buddha by one of the Buddha’s cousin, and when the elephant came in front of Buddha, it just stopped and bowed to Buddha and did pradakshina and went away.

The other day I was reading an article. One scientist was trying to fix some electrodes, the brain of the animals and manipulate it. There is a beautiful article I was reading about it. He activated an electrode which creates anger, and the bull became mad and after few minutes, when it was about to jump on him, he just activated another one electrode and the bull becomes just silent and sat. When you are really established in non violence, in front of you no animal can experience violence. The brain part which activates….which aggravates anger or violence simply disappears. It stops working in front of you.
 +
One important thing you should understand, whether you understand or not, believe it or not, whatever you strongly experienced you radiate that quality. You express it, even if you try to cover, you can't cover, you can't hide, you can't hide. You radiate. In the Sanskrit we have a word called darshan, means seeing. They say even seeing negative people will create negativity in you. You may think how can that happen? You don’t know, because they are constantly radiating that same kind of waves, that same kind of thoughts.
