Today we’ll understand how the seva makes you live enlightenment. I am not going to talk about seva for the sake of social service or the name and fame or as a morality, no! I am talking about seva as a science of enlightenment. Continuously life gives us turiyavanasampanna - means, the flowers happened in the state of turiya. Turiya means the fourth state which is beyond waking, dream and deep sleep state. Constantly, fortunately all human beings experience turiya at some point or other in their regular life. Whenever they feel little peace, joy in any way... Please understand, even if it is through senses, because of the sense pleasures, that moment where you feel satisfied, ‘Wow! Life is worth living, life is worthy’. Those moments you go through a glimpse of turiya. Each time turiya happens in you, joy happens in you, it brings one lesson to you. It shares one truth with you. The truths which you collect from turiya is what turiyavanasampanna.

(02:22)

Today in the mantra, padapooja they said, ‘We offer the flowers collected in turiya state’, means, the truths about the life. Of course when you sit in meditation, when you are peaceful, whatever ideas happen in you about life, about relationships, about how to live, about money, about love, whatever, those ideas are flowers collected from turiya state; turiyavanasampanna. Constantly turiyavanasampanna happens in all of us. But unfortunately we do not know the science of how to make those flowers happen again and again and keep them as part of our life. We just let them wither away. Let them drop, let them disappear; without they becoming fruit, without they becoming part of us.

(03:30)

How to make this turiyavanasampanna, the flowers of the fourth state of consciousness become part of your bio memory and lifestyle? Seva. Please understand, when you start serving, all the difficulties you face... because you will be facing difficulties, you are just going against the current of your bio memory which is fear and greed. Seva means working without greed and fear. So naturally there will be enough of churning, boiling. ‘Why should I do this? Why should I do this? Why should I do this?’ Every moment that question will be asked; because there is no result. After you do everything, you don’t get anything. If you get anything, don’t do that work, it is not seva. I take care, nobody who serves Dhyanapeetam gets name and fame or anything in return, except enlightenment; till now I maintain. That is the strength and purity of Dhyanapeetam. Understand? We ensure that they don’t get anything, that is why we have very less people doing seva. If you see all the religious and spiritual organizations they’re able to convert eighty percent of their followers into the people who are doing service. I’m not able to. Of course I am not interested, in truth 5:09. Hardly if I am able to convert two to three percent of the people who are following Me, who are inspired by Me, into serving, it’s more than enough. That is what I am able to do, that is what I am also interested; because I take care they do not get any reward, they do not get any name or fame, they do not get caught in fear and greed. Not only that, even if they get fear, even if they get name or fame through somebody else in some other source, I take care that ego is shaken in ten minutes. I ensure, I constantly ensure that no way they get any other reward or award except jeevan mukthi.

(06:02)

Understand, the turiyavanasampanna, the flowers collected from the higher state of Consciousness, fortunately it is showered on you, every time when you sit in deep meditation, or sit in the Masters presence or have some enjoyment; even if it is through senses. When your mind gets back from running, running, running you just have one turiyavana-sampanna, one flower from higher state of consciousness. When you sit with Master you have big bouquet, flower bouquet, constantly given to you, the turiyavanasampanna, the flowers from higher consciousness is constantly shared with you. But now it is time, how to make them as a eternal garland - Parijatha, kalpavriksa. This parijatha means the flower which does not wither away; which has no enmity, which is beyond enmity. So now the flowers you receive from turiya should become parijatha in you! Not just ordinary rose, ordinary lotus. The ordinary roses which you receive gives one moment pleasure, by the time the rose withers away, the pleasure also withers away. By... the rose which you receive by February 14 will not be there by February sixteen. It will; not only the flower will not be there, the emotion with which the flower was shared will not be there.

(07:52)

Understand, now it is time to make the flowers of the higher state of consciousness into parijatha. Parijatha means the heavenly flower which never withers away. Service, seva brings you straight away garland of parijatha. I am not interested in giving you ordinary garlands; people are elated by ordinary garland in a stage. The moment you get the people and put them a garland in a stage and few thousand people clap they are just elated and they will start doing any work. But that is not seva. Maybe that is service, not seva. I am differentiating, the meaning between seva and service. Service is not the literal translation of seva. Seva means a work done to retain all the flowers of higher consciousness into your being, with your being, eternally as parijatha.

(09:05)

Whenever you work without fear and greed, you need to remember the spiritual truths; because mind will ask you, “Why am I serving this Swami? Whenever I go near him I only get firing! I would have done twenty work and missed only one, but he exactly catches that one! And he is not bothered about the twenty work I did, he takes me for granted”. So when all these questions raise in you, you need to make the flower into parijatha. The rose should become parijatha, means you need to remember all the flowers of Higher Consciousness. You need to tell yourself, “No, fear and greed is not the reason I took up this work, and that is not exactly I wanted. I am here to annihilate fear and greed. I am here to be intense and sincere.” Constantly remembering of these ideas will make you do seva. Constant remembrance of this idea means - the flowers of high state of Consciousness becoming part of your bio memory. Means your bio memory starts living in higher state of consciousness.

(10:22)

I tell you seva is highest form of creativity, because any ordinary service, any ordinary work only creates something in the world. But seva creates very You, very new you, very being which lives enlightenment. Understand. When you work, you don’t need to justify why you are working because there is the greed and fear. But when you do seva, you need to constantly justify why are you taking up this thing? What is the need? So constantly you need to remind yourself, justify why you are doing this. Naturally the ideas with which you need to justify why you are doing will become part of you and those ideas will make you live enlightenment. Those ideas, you see, the truths from higher consciousness becoming part of your bio memory, by seva is what I call rose flower becoming parijatha; becoming garland of heavenly flowers.

(11:40)

So serve, do seva intensely with these great spiritual truths, constantly remembering these great spiritual truths. Constantly be inspired by these great spiritual truths, you will have the garland of parijatha, heavenly flowers. Do not have ordinary garland of ordinary flowers in a some small stage from Master. That is too cheap. Poor substitute. I may give the garland sometime, but don’t be elated by it, it is just a simple gift. You need to receive the flower garland of parijatha, heavenly flowers, garland made out of turiyavanasampanna. Means, the flowers which comes out of the consciousness of the higher state. See, the flowers comes out of consciousness of higher state is - when you are in higher state the ideas released into your system. The truths flowers into your system. So let those truths become stable into your system. Let those truths radiate in your system. Let them become part of your system. Understand, the turiyavanasampanna - the garland made out of flowers from higher consciousness, parijatha, is the garland given, declaring your enlightenment.

(13:24)

Understand there is a very beautiful story in Buddha’s life; the birth of Zen tradition. One day Buddha comes with a beautiful lotus in his hand. Just he is sitting, gazing at the lotus. The whole ten thousand Buddha’s, ten thousand sanyasis are sitting in front of him. All of them are wondering what Buddha is doing, usually the moment he comes he starts his sermon, he starts talking. Why is he not talking? He is just sitting with this lotus and gazing at it, playing with it. All the nine hundred and ninety nine minds are restless expecting Buddha’s words just because of the continuous, unconscious, monotonous rhythm. But Buddha is engrossed in the lotus. One mind, one guy was just completely in turiya, in restful awareness ready to receive that turiyavanasampanna; Mahakyashyapa. Just Buddha lifts his face. He sees Mahakyashyapa in the eternal deep laughter. And Buddha calls Mahakyashyapa and gives that flower. And he says whatever can be told can be said, I gave to all of you, nine ninety nine, sorry nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine. I gave it to all of you. Whatever can’t be said I am giving it to Mahakyashyapa. That flower is turiyavanasampanna; the flower from the state of higher consciousness. This is the best gift you can receive from Master.

(15:38)

Understand, make this turiyavanasampanna into your bio memory by constantly serving. Bend your body, bend your mind in seva. By constantly doing seva you will see the turiyavanasampannas you receive, the ideas and truths you receive from the higher state of consciousness becomes your bio memory, becomes the garland of parijatha and you radiate the eternal smell of enlightenment. The eternal flavor of enlightenment. Eternal gandha of enlightenment. That is what I call ananda gandha. So let you all bend your body and mind in serving, doing seva and make the flowers from consciousness as part of your bio memory and radiate that smell of ananda gandha the parijatha. Let you all achieve and radiate enlightenment. Let you all achieve, live, experience, express, radiate the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank You
