Manipuraka the center situated on the naval itself. Depression and worry locks this chakra. That is why whenever you get some shocking news or depressed or a things which worries you the first blow gets, first blow happens to the stomach. What is worry? Participant: Fear of unknown. Swamiji: Sixteen.. Participant: He want something and have the fear it doesn't happen. Participant: It is lack of confidence that you are in the right place at the right time. Participant: It's a kind of fear of anxiety. Swamiji: Everybody is beating around the bush. Nobody is going … Participant: It’s fear, anxiety trying do the all the things at the same time and fear. Swamiji: Anybody who is professor in philosophy or who study philosophy? Because philosophers know what is worry. Participant: We worry by anticipation. Participant: I used to think a lot and I never came to conclusion and the same thought coming and going, coming and going. Swamiji: Yes. She came to the right point. Participant: Not living the current moment. Swamiji: She said a beautiful way.

(03:25)

Your mind has got two parts: talking to others and talking to yourself. Many times you can see your mind is, you are talking to yourself. Talking to yourself is what we call inner chattering. Inner chattering is like an automated program. It goes on continuously even without your knowledge. Many times the inner program gets corrupted and repeats the same line even you don’t want. Have you seen a gramophone record which is been repaired or which the needle has gone! If the needle has gone, if the gramophone record has got disturbed same line will be repeated continuously without even your knowledge or without your permission your mind will be repeating the same line. That is what we call worry. So, worry is nothing but a habit. It is just a continuous thinking, remembering the same thought which was no use.

(05:44)

Even if you know that you can’t change, you can’t do anything you will be remembering and repeating the same thoughts and same line. If you can alter you are going to alter, even if you can’t alter the same words will be continuously repeating in your mind. It’s like a habit. Morning if you have the habit of having the coffee at 8 o’clock the moment the clock says 8 o'clock your mind will ask coffee. Sameway in your mind also if you.. if you are habituated for worrying around 9 o’clock worrying about office, evening 6 o'clock worrying about the house if you are habituated even if you don’t have office even in the weekend days you will be worrying exactly on the same time. You will have the low energy and the low mood. Because of the habit. The habit is what is worry. Starting time due to some outer reasons you start worrying. The starting time due to some reasons you start worrying. After some time you master that art of worrying you don't need any outside reason. So, you find some reason or you create your own reason. Mind as such is nothing but worries. Even if there is no worry, you start thinking what will happen tomorrow. So, worry becomes the mental structure of the mind.

(08:35)

The thoughts starts from only naval center. Your worrying thoughts disturbs the naval chakra. If the naval chakra is disturbed more worries are created. Whenever you suppress anger, violence, vengeance the manipuraka gets disturbed. So whatever you suppress it directly goes and attacks the naval center. In your office if you suppress some anger, in your house if you suppress your violent mood, whenever you suppress any desires, any emotion it attacks only the naval center. Only when you throw it out only when you release it in the air, only you vomit it out the naval center is cleansed. Most of the time your boss vomits on you. You vomit on your wife, your wife vomits on the kids. Kids on the pet animal, pet animal comes and bites you.

(10:41)

So it goes like a circle goes on, goes on. Anger is vomited from one person to other person and one person to other person. Here is a meditation technique not to vomit on anybody else just to release it in the air. Before entering into the meditation we spent few minutes for your questions on this subject worry. Participant: This meditation that will be taught is for not entering into worry. But if we are already worried does it work to get out of that state? Swamiji: Already worried means you are suppressed. All those things will come out. It will release from worrying mood. Participant: She wants to know the example you gave about the boss and his wife is also similar to a case when a women is pregnant and the baby is connected to umbilical cord and the both parents fight and if that transfers to that child and that child will…

(13:12)

Swamiji: Not only the parents fights, all the mothers thoughts are imbibed by the child. Child’s body is prepared based on mother’s mind. In that nine months whatever she thinks goes into the body of the child. That is why in Indian purana, there is a purana Prahalada story. The young boy who has become a Krishna’s devotee. In this story it is said even when he was in the mother’s womb when her when she was pregnant carrying him she used to listen to stories of Krishna from a sage called Narada. Even now in India it is a practice if a lady is pregnant she has to read Gita and Tulsi Ramayana. Even when they have the physical relationship sexual contact they meditate so the kid which is created will be more alive and spiritual. So that the kid will be more intelligent and it is always true the, in India the spiritual community, the community which is holding the spiritual knowledge their kids are always bright than the other kids. Because of their energy.

(15:54)

Participant: She wants to know about controlling thoughts whenever you have a thought but you don’t want but it keeps coming repeatedly what you should do? Swamiji: This meditation will elevate the energy so much that the whole thoughts will be under the awareness. Participant: She wants to know if anger is more of another form of worry? Swamiji: It’s more… it is actually a byproduct of manipuraka and swadhisthana. It has no direct connection with any chakra. Because of the too much corrupted naval and too much of afraid, the fear of swadhisthana both expresses as anger. Participant: Is guilt is from this chakra. Swamiji: No guilt is actually again byproduct of mooladhara chakra sex energy. Participant: If you keep the retain or the stress during the life seizure of the baby or how does the process of the clean and the stress works? Swamiji: One thing once you awaken the chakra automatically the thought process gets cleaned. The clean thought process again cleanses the chakra. Then the chakra becomes more clean and the thought process becomes more clean. It’s like a circle. Once you start cleaning thought process become clean and the clean thought process that cleanses the manipuraka and cleanses the thought process becomes more clean and more clean, more clean, more and more clean. Now it is dirty, dirty, more and more dirty. It is going in this line. Now we are just turning in this line. This meditation is to throw away your anger, violence and negative emotions. Let Me explain the technique then you can start doing.

Speak in the language which you don’t know. So, for example if you know Portuguese, English don’t speak in that language. Speak in Chinese. So when you speak in the language if you don’t know you start shouting, you start making nonsensical sounds. Then your inner chattering mind opens. All your emotions are thrown out by the sounds which you create. The technique is first one minute you will concentrate on the manipuraka. The next twenty minutes you will shout, sing, cry, scream, jump, do whatever you want. Twenty minutes. You will fight with all your enemies. Take revenge on all of them. Continuously create sounds. Don’t stop making sounds. You can throw away all the negative emotions from inside.

(02:04)

And then last ten minutes sit silently and relax in the naval center. If you shout more loudly more negative emotions will be released. So, if you want to have the total benefit, shout fully. Like animals or any way. Only thing don’t talk in the language which you know. Because your mind will start working. Mind should not work. Any questions, doubt? Participant: How can I speak on the language I don’t know? I want to speak on Tamil. Swamiji: No, just shout. Ma uwa ma.. That’s all. 😀 bla, bla, bla…. . create some sounds that’s all. Like animals. Like animals, like kids. Participant: She made an observation. She has an experience talking in the language which she does not know and what she felt deep inside your mind you are putting the feelings out but no one seems to be understand. So, it is not hurting anybody.

(04:10)

Swamiji: That is what I am telling you. Participant: And the perfect language is european dutch..? [unclear] Swamiji: Perfect language is ..? Yes, I think nobody knows German. Anybody knows german? So we announce German as our national language. Start speak in German for next twenty minutes. So, ready. One more thing, understand warning! warning!! Now everybody is going to throw away their negativity and negative emotions. If you don’t throw away all of others negativities will come and sit on you. So careful. If you are not throwing away with full speed, don’t rest, don't relax in between. Because all will come and sit on you. You will accumulate more. If you feel like vomiting nothing wrong, raise your hands, volunteers will take you out. It is good, it is good the naval will be getting cleansed. Okay please tie the ribbon, stand up and tie the ribbons. Have enough space so that you don't beat others. Concentrate on naval center.

(06:04)

Swamiji: Touch your naval center and concentrate on it. When I say start then you can start. When you start, do it fully. Don’t give gap for next twenty minutes.

(06:52)

Meditation in progress.

(08:44)

Participant: First one I was feeling fear, worries then tired, very tired. In the end when we sit to meditate sitting out I start feeling energy, expression on the mind. Swamiji: You have done beautifully, you have crossed layer by layer. You have exactly crossed the layered energies. You have done well. Participant: On the first five minutes of the practice she was very, very ecstatic, she didn’t, she didn’t know she want to laugh or shout. Swamiji: That’s nice. Participant: So after that she decided to follow what you said and in ten minutes she has to bathroom because … [unclear] Swamiji: That's nice. She has done well.

(10:22)

Participant: She saw and she felt very huge emptiness and huge feeling empty.. she want to cry. Swamiji: The all the negativity, the collected load suppression has come out. That’s why you feel the lace, lightness and empty. That’s nice. Participant: [unclear…] Swamiji: Something wrong that is why the meditation wants to be done. Participant: She doesn't remember exactly what happened to her. Is that good vomiting?

(12:14)

Participant: So initially she was …with the music and initially she started shouting and she heard a streak in her voice she never heard before. When her mind say keep going on, keep going on, and then she went on and she started feeling regression. She started to become a child.. and then all of a sudden she started to recover and .. Swamiji: Her experience is unique. You have actually come back to your childhood and throw away your oppressions.

Participant: She felt like throwing off, throwing up that she repressed it all the times which she hates doing it. Swamiji: Why? Participant: It has to come through another side… That has to come through another way because way but that doesn’t happen. Participant: She got lot of headache ….[ inaudible] Participant: She said she was dizzy or she wanted to throw up, but she felt like she was crying … [inaudible] Swamiji: She really relaxed.

(15:22)

Participant: She felt very sad that she realized so much of energy released Swamiji: Right, she understood. Participant: So Swamji said initially when you explained she thought she couldn’t believe because of her preconditioning and all those things. Once it’s started and she did everything she didn’t feel even tired and then she stopped, she bear with great laughter and started feeling her body being a fluid going with the music. Swamiji: You have done well because of that only you feel that the greatness. Put your whole effort on next, next meditations also. Participant: So her experience is different that in the sense that she from the beginning she felt very good and all of a sudden she started feeling desired to vomit and breathless. Swamiji: She is crossing layers. Let us assemble for the next session.

Manipura and the Mind || Part 3 || ASC || 03 April 2004

Transcript:

(00:15)

Mula-adhara means root and the base. This chakra is related to sex energy. And this chakra is the root and base for the whole universe. If you understand this one energy and use it, this can give you 80% of your potential energy to your reality. Because 80% of your energy is blocked only in this chakra. Too much of imagination and dreams locks this muladhara chakra. And when you accept the reality this chakra opens. I will explain layer by layer how this chakra gets locked. First layer the age of 0 to 7, Second layer is 7 to 14, Third layer 14 to 21, Fourth layer 21 to 28, if all the four layers are corrupted, fifth layer is whole life. So, fifth cannot be even considered your whole life is fifth later. Now let Me explain how in every layer the muladhara gets disturbed or corrupted.

(02:43)

In first layer 0 to 7, your left is suppressed. Your left portion is suppressed by the parents and the society. When you are born you are comfortable and … left.. so 0 to 7 where is lust? What is this? 😄 From the age of 0 to 7 your left part of the body is suppressed. You see, actually usually as you use your right you use your left also. when you are a boy, when you are a kid. But because of the social conditioning and the bringing up, your left portion will not be allowed to use. When your left portion is suppressed, first time you feel your energy is getting disturbed. Left portion is feminine energy. Even Science says left portion is connected to right brain. Right brain is the master of dance, poetry, art, music, grace, all the feminine part… energies. Grace…😁 and all the feminine energies. That is a problem My sentence is so long and flow so much it is difficult to grasp and translate.

(05:11)

Translate… 😁. So, whenever your left portion is suppressed, right brain is suppressed. That is why in Tantra they say Shiva is half male and half female. If your feminine energy is not suppressed you live in the same enlightenment state. You are Shiva. If your left is not suppressed you are God. If your left, if your feminine energy is again awakened you will become God. Because your feminine energy is suppressed you start searching for the feminine energy from outside. This is the first blow happens to your energy. Next between 7 to 14 you start searching for your feminine energy from your father and from your mother. Because the energy which is lost you start searching from outside. If you are male the female energy is suppressed. If you are female the male energy is suppressed.

(07:14)

That is why you start searching from your mother and father. So, between 7 to 14 your kids must be around you. You must have enough of energy and time with them. If you don’t let them around you, let them be with you between the age of 7 to 14 you will never feel connected with them, they will never feel connected to you. In India that is why always between the age of 7 to 14 kids are kept with the father, mother or in the Master’s energy field, spiritual field. So, this is the critical age they need a very loving and healing presence. Because boy is becoming man, girl is becoming woman. If you don’t get that presence at that age again your energy gets the second blow. So, after the 14, you start search.. after the 14 you become man or woman.

(09:08)

Then after the 14 you start searching for the feminine energy from outside. Immediately you don’t get your partner or company to live. So, naturally your mind starts collecting imaginations and dreams. So, you try to satisfy yourself with the dreams and imaginations. The layers of sexual fantasies are created in you once you cross the age 14. More than 60% of your energy is spent collecting imaginations or cherishing the dreams. So between the age of 14 to 21, almost your major energy is spent only to collect the imaginations and cherish the dreams. By the time you reach the age 21 your imaginations about your would be is ready. And her imagination of her would be is also ready. Now both of them have got their own solid imaginations. After the 21 you start searching from the outside who will fulfill your imaginations.

(11:16)

The search starts. From long distance you feel somebody is exactly the your imaginations sometimes. As soon as you think somebody is exactly as your imaginations according to your dreams you fall in Love!! Understand the word it is falling in Love not raising in Love. When you fall in love you start feeling that your imagination has become reality. And a small story. Once a man fell from the third floor to the ground floor. Somebody went near to him and asked, “Oh, did the falling hurt you”? He said, “No, the falling does not hurt me. Only the stopping has hurt me.” So, if you just fall without being stopped it is almost like floating. Then there is no problem. Floating never creates any problem only stopping creates problem. When you fall in Love also the floating never creates problem, only when you reach the ground reality creates problem.

(13:21)

As long as you meet only one hour per day things go smooth and perfect. Because that is the time you are floating, in a way flirting. So, the floating time you don’t see the reality of that person and he don’t see the reality of you. One hour you can act as he wants and one hour he can act as you want. Both of you feel you are made for each other. This one hour is the time when all the letters are written and poems are exchanged. All over the world you can see in all the culture eternal Lovers means who never lived together. Romeo-Juliet; Laila-Majnu; Ambikapathy-Amaravathi; Devadas-Parvathy. 😄 Ambikapathy-Amaravathi; Laila-Majnu; Devadas-Parvathy. Everywhere eternal lovers means they never lived together. Because when you start living together, you reach the ground reality. When you reach the ground reality only bone breaks!! Till the time everything is very nice. The reality is when you … that is a beautiful example in a novel written by a Rabinranath Tagore.

(15:39)

Two persons fell in love with each other. They decided to keep their love as eternal. The first decision which they did is both of them decided to stay opposite banks of Ganga. And only once in a week they will meet and that also in two different boats. And then after the meeting they will depart. Tagore says they lived as eternal lovers. That’s true because they never lived together. As long as you meet only one hour per day you think your imaginations also green, the reality is also green. When that one hour becomes three-four hours you feel the real person is pale green. When it becomes 4-5 hours then you feel yellow. When you live 6-7 hours you feel pale yellow. When you live the whole life then you understand your imagination is green, reality is white. By the time you understand that imagination is not reality, honeymoon is over. Again the word honeymoon not honeysun.

(17:52)

Why honeymoon? Because that feeling also stands only the lifespan of the moon. The lifespan of moon is 16 days. The emotion, sentiment which lives only for a short time that why it is called honeymoon. Then the next step is after the 27 …. after the 21 you take the next step of searching after the honeymoon you take the third step. The next step is chisling the other as you wanted. You have your own image, you take a chisel and hammer and chisel her as you want and she has her own image about you. And she takes her own chisel and hammer and chisels you as she wants. If you chisel a stone you can make a statue and keep. If you chisel a wood you can make a furniture and keep it with you. But if you chisel a person only blood and blood flows. You create only war. That is why all our houses are filled with so much of domestic violence. In America two women among the three are undergoing the domestic violence, 66% is not a small amount. Because of our too much of imaginations and expectations our life becomes more or less like a war.

Transcript:

(00:15)

In India they classify the human beings as a fourth category. The man who realizes the imaginations can never become reality before the marriage is called Brahmachari. Your imaginations are your imaginations, it can never become reality. Because you collect imaginations from all sorts of weird sources. You see from all the best actresses' photographs you cut the best nose, best eyes, best eyebrow, best lips and connect the face together. And you cut attributes, all the best characters to her and waiting for her to come in your life. In turn she is creating her own imagination from all the actors and making her own idol from all the actors. She attributes all the best characters and she is waiting for him to come into her life. How can your imaginations become true? Dreams can never become reality that is why they are called dreams. When you understand your dreams can never become reality before the marriage you are called brahmachari.

(02:25)

If you understand at least after the honeymoon that your imaginations can never become reality you are called good grihastha - house holder. If you don’t understand and start chiseling the other, the house which is supposed to be a dharmakshetra becomes kurukshetra - place of war. At one time if your intelligence starts working and drops the chisel and hammer and starts accepting the other as they are you are called vanaprastha. Man who dropped his imaginations altogether is called sanyasi. In all the four levels if you drop your imaginations your life can become more rich and more joyful, more ecstatic. If you are the unmarried, if you drop your imaginations, you will have enough of intelligence and patience to choose your life partner in a cool way. You will not have the hormonal torture to chose your partner immediately. So when you chose your life partner in a cool way you chose a cool guy. You think about the long future with whom you can share your life and then chose. You will not be driven by these simple fantasies and romance.

(05:07)

If you are already married, if you drop your imaginations, your relationship will become a real intimacy. Unless you drop your imaginations the relationship can never intimate, the intimacy can never flower between you. As long as you have all your imaginations, all your actors and actresses in between you and your wife, how will you look at her eyes? How will you directly live with her? Drop your imaginations and start living with the real wife and real husband. You will start become really a good husband and good wife and a good responsible father or a good responsible brother. Your position in the society will become more responsible. You will feel for others. So, if you are a widower or divorce if you drop your imaginations your life will be more relaxed, you will enjoy your aloneness, you will not be tortured by your loneliness. You will not run around for the sake of relationships.

(07:14)

So, if you are running around for the sake of relationships, whatever relationships comes to you also you will spoil it. Running around for relationship makes you like a psychological beggar. Only when you drop your whole imaginations you can even think of sanyas. In all the four layers, in all the four levels of your life if you drop your imaginations your life will become more joyful, ecstatic and blissful. So, now these are the few ideas which I wanted to present to you all. We will have a question answer discussion on this subject. Question: What is ecstasy? Swamiji: Ecstasy means the joy, bliss inside without anything outside.

(09:04)

Question: They want to know the meaning of the word ecstatic…. Swamiji: Whenever you get the joy, excitement without anything outside just from inside it is called ecstasy. Question: She said that two first stages between 0 and 7, and 7 and 14 be close to the mother and the father is very important. But in most families the children are already separated from either the mother or the father from that age. Swamiji: Whenever the quality is reduced, quantity is expanded. When they are not satisfied they run around all over. Shiva says in the Tantra, ‘whenever the quality is improved the quantity is reduced.’ The meditation which we are going to practice now is from Tantra.

(19:48)

Question: Yesterday You commented on Mahatma Gandhi and on his sexual urge and how honest he was about it. What he wanted to know is some yogis say that you should only have sex inside marriage for as a means to give birth to children. What You think about that? Swamiji: You see each and every sect has got its own ideology. Not having sex is also one type of technique. That is also one of the technique to go towards the spirituality. See, there are two things, one is totally leaving the world and going into the meditation. That is the first thing and that only can be given the first preference. But all are not fortunate to have that path. Major percentage lives only in the world. So, we try to help the people who are in the world also by giving techniques to come through this way. When you totally leave also you come out, when you totally live also you come out. Total living is Tantra, total leaving is yoga. Both reach the same divine. This is for sanyasis, that is for grihasthas. So, wherever you are try to take up the idea totally and go beyond and enter into the enlightenment. If you are a sanyasi take up the ideology of sanyas, if you are a grihastha, take up the ideology of householder.

(13:40)

Question: She wants to know if imagination cannot be positive in a relationship. Swamiji: You see two things: imagination, visualization. Imagination is chiseling the other; visualization is chiseling yourself. Chiseling yourself can be positive but chiseling the other can never positive. Question: Can the imagination can create a creative relationship? Swamiji: Visualization can create… create your relationship, not the imagination. Visualization means you change yourself. Imagination means you try to change the other. Changing the other is not going to help you positively. Changing yourself only is going to help you positively. Yes.

(15:18)

Question: Why do you need sexual abstinence? Why do priests and swamis don’t have to have sex? What does disturbs you in sex? Swamiji: I can answer from My life. I don't know about others’ lives. As far as My life concerned, from the very young age I had the inner ecstasy, inner joy, inner bliss. So, I don't need anybody from outside to give Me the joy. So, when they tested My neurological system in Oklahoma, when I switched off My mind they say the pleasure chemical dopamine is tremendously flooded inside My system. When you all get into some pleasure only a little bit is released in your system. Some sweet, or some good scene or some good music or some good sex it releases only a little bit in your system. But without anything the same pleasure or same joy is tremendously flooded all over the body. I do not know how to explain to you from My experience I can tell you every air hole just expresses just oozes out the ecstasy. Because of that joy My whole body has become just like a flower. That is the reason I don't need anybody from outside. Only when you reach that inner state you won’t need anything from outside. That is what has happened in My life. So, I can tell you it’s not even equal to outer joy, it's thousands and thousands of times intense than outer joy. If I say it is much more than outer joy even that is not a right example. Understand the whole planet earth is a big size sand. If I say this is it true? The whole planet earth is a big size sand. In a way it is true, but in a way it is not true. That is the same way if I say the inner joy Nithyananda is a big size pleasure of the outer joy. In a way it is bigger but in a way it is not comparable. The inner joy is too much it cannot even be compared. That is why an enlightened man just gives, gives, gives. That’s all.

(00:14)

When they tested My brain system, the doctors says for 30 years he was working on the neurological field. He always says … either the male part of the brain or the female part of the brain will be more active, more bigger. First time he saw a brain which is totally grown up and totally rounded or both are equally grown, both are equally complementing each other. In My system neither the masculine nor the feminine is more active. Both are totally grown up, fully developed. Even though I live in the male body, the body is just like a normal male in My conscious I feel I am neither male nor female just I am a Being - Energy. Because of that feeling only I am continuously joyful and ecstatic. Because of that only male, female both feel very comfortable in My presence.

(02:48)

Participant: As per her previous practice she started having a very intense back pain. And she is feeling that her concentration is perturbed. She wants to know if doing the next meditation will help her with that pain. Swamiji: I will heal her and you tell her by the next meditation is over the pain will disappear. I will take care of that. If you suppress any pain it comes out when you meditate. It erupts out and get .. goes away. Participant: He wants to know .. he wants to know that the level conscious that you are in total bliss can also be achieved by people in Rio de Janeiro. Because he also wants a part in that. Swamiji: One thing, Enlightenment is My copyright, it is your birthright. It is not the copyright of Indians. It is birthright of the planet earthians. Whether you are in Rio de Janeiro or in India it’s your birthright, you CAN have it. Only a little bit of sincere meditation is more than enough you will have it.

(05:43)

Participant: So she is saying that all that you are saying is fitting in her relationship with her son. Because her son came to her and said my name is not Alexandra which is not his name anymore. It’s peace and the moon and then he also said that he doesn’t need a girlfriend and other things. These are the comments he made. Swamiji: Nice. If he has got that intelligence, okay. Participant: Swami, she wants to ask you because her son reads a lot and does a lot of meditation and she wants to understand if you also came, you already came with this … eh you already came with your energy out of the it’s not common. When you are born itself and she wants to know how does she understand her son. Is it similar? Swamiji: One thing it can be similar in My case I practiced in past, last life itself. That did not came out of the blue. I practiced in last life. So in your son’s case it may happen in next life. There is every possibility. It is not that it is not common, it can be even common.

(07:54)

Participant: Is it possible to realize your past and future lifes? Swamiji: Yes. For many people I even told that they are connected to Me in the past life and how, which way. They went and verified in that place. It was found totally correct. Whenever it is necessary it has been revealed to many persons and they researched, discovered it is right. Participant: What is it blocking? Not common people are not able to realize what is their past life? What is going to happen in the future? The common man does not know. What is that dropping the common man to know the past life? Swamiji: The problem is past your 35 years of your memory itself is loading you so much you are not able to be in peace or relaxation because of that 35 years of memory. If you get the past life memory also it will give you more pressure and more heaviness. You will become mad. Out of grace God has made you forget about your past life. If you get the maturity even if you remember you will not be disturbed. You will let go the past memories you will be give the blessings of remembering it. Only when you have the maturity even if you remember you will not be disturbed. You will be quiet relaxed. You will let go your past. You will be given the opportunity of seeing your past. Even when you remember you will not be disturbed by the past. You will let go your past memories and you will not let the past memories to disturb you. Only you become matured of that level will you be given all your past memories. That’s all.

(10:59)

Participant: What are the problems that cause the blockage of this chakra? Swamiji: Main imaginations and expectations about the other. Too much of… Participant: The question is slightly different. What are the consequences of the blockage of the root chakra? Swamiji: The first consequence is you will never feel relaxed, happy with your body. When you don't feel comfortable, lovely with your body you will not feel comfortable, lovely with other body also. And then.. and then after every relationship you will feel you have done a big crime and you have a low mood. You will not feel like you are satisfied. You will feel that the other is cheated you. And when you feel the other has cheated you and again you will feel your muladhara is more disturbed. All your uneasiness with your body, your skin disease and your whole body pain starts only from muladhara. And the… too much of fatigue, too much of tiredness is also due to disturbances of the muladhara chakra. When you love your body you will feel relaxed, comfortable, settled with your body. With other body or without other body you will be totally comfortable and relaxed. So, understand the opening of the muladhara chakra helps you to live more joyfully, more blissfully with this body and with other bodies also.

(14:15)

Participant: He is a person with very distracted, also an unable to concentrate. Is it also perturbation in this chakra? Swamiji: No, no unable to concentrate is related to ajna chakra. I have seen many people when .. when they come near Me for Energy Darshan, when they come near Me they just hug only as a custom, only as a social custom. I never felt the being is open. Only very few people who are happy with their body are totally open and they receive the energy. All the other people they just closed as soon as they come near any - body. So, when your muladhara is loaded with imaginations you never open up your being. So, even for your spiritual growth, dropping the imagination is basic necessity.

(16:04)

Participant: In this next exercise You are going to teach how to unblock the chakra. She wants to know how can you keep it unblocked as well. Swamiji: Ah yes this one meditation if you practice for 21 days your muladhara chakra will be totally flowered and totally opened. Participant: (inaudible) Swamiji: Yes. Participant: How many hours per day? Swamiji: It’s only half an hour. Participant: Why 21 days not 18, 14, 25? Swamiji: In 21 days your whole energy turns to all the seven layers of your emotions. Love… In maximum of 21 days your consciousness will travel to all the seven ocean of your emotion: Love, worry, death, sex, comparison, egoless….ego and discontentment. I will tell … in these 21 days your consciousness will go one full circle of all the seven major emotions. The seven major emotions related to your seven chakras. Sex.. sex, worry, love, jealousy, ego and discontentment. So these are the all seven emotions and come up and go down. If you do this meditation all the seven emotions will be cleansed and every 21 minutes the thoughts related to all these seven different emotions raise in your mind and drops. If you just write all your thoughts in your notebook just for 21 minutes, your thoughts will be related to all these seven emotions. The thoughts related to all seven emotions will appear in every 21 minutes at least once. Because your energy is circulating continuously in these seven emotions.

Transcript:

(00:30)

Participant: When you do the silent meditation and you let the thoughts go by without disturbing them. Is it also a way of unblocking the muladhara chakra? Swamiji: No! Silent emotions never unblocks, if you try to sit silently mind jumps more and more. You get all possible fantasies. If you are at least working your fantasies will be less. If you are sitting silently, fantasies becomes more. Participant: Anyway if you do this technique of silent meditation consecutively do you have a glimpse of no mind? Swamiji: Silent meditations are bullock cart speed. Meditations techniques which I am giving is jet age speed. Decide what do you want. Because those techniques are designed in the age of bullock cart. These are designed in the age of jet. It is up to you to decide. Yes. Participant: She wants to know more about visualization which is a positive aspect of imagination. Swamiji: Whenever you try to improve your quality, whatever way you try to improve your quality it is visualization. When you work on your … When you work on your body to improve your health, when you work on your mind to improve it’s well being these are all visualization. When you work on your being to grow spiritually that is also visualization.

(03:17)

Participant: How the sex which is the theme of the current chakra relates to love which was the theme of the other chakra. Swamiji: When it purifies, see its three things: in the muladhara it is physical, in the anahata it is mental - psychological, in the sahastrara it is spiritual - divine. So, in muladhara it is sex, in anahata it is love, in sahastrara it is samadhi. Sex is animal, love is human, samadhi is divine. One thing as long as your relationships are based on your imagination it is only lust. When you try to go beyond and try to accept the other as they are it becomes love. When you welcome the other as they are it becomes divine. I will tell him in a simple way. Resistance is lust, acceptance is love, welcoming is divine. So, understand lust is animal, love is human, samadhi is divine. So, sex is 18 carat gold, love is 22 carat gold, samadhi is 24 carat gold. Purify more and more you will see your being start shining.

(06:23)

Participant: Swamiji, are you going to teach various techniques to work on the seven chakras? What he wants to know is You are going to go way back to India, are you going to give them a routine to work all these chakras? Swamiji: Tomorrow I will give you. There is no need to practice all the meditation. So, whatever you need to practice actually if you practice one meditation technique that will open all the seven chakras. It is not that all the seven chakras are separate. They are all interconnected. If you work on one chakra intensely that will open all the seven chakras. So, tomorrow evening I will tell you for every person individually what meditation to be practiced. Individually I will tell you what you need to practice. Then any other question?

(07:47)

Participant: What is the relationship without expectation? Swamiji: I tell you without expectation only real relationship can flower; with expectation only begging can happen. You will be having a big begging bowl and he will be having a big begging bowl. You will expect from him, he will expect from you. Both empty begging bowl will hit each other and create more sound. Only when you are fulfilled you just give to others. Only when you give it to other and he give it to you the relationship can happen. With expectation only exploitation can happen. That is why you always feel the other has cheated you. Either today or tomorrow you feel the other has cheated you. Women always feel they are exploited, men always feel they are deprived. So, that is why you never meet and merge. He may be a great lawyer, great philosopher convincing all over the world, convincing everybody when he comes to his house, he is nothing but a rat. And three hours he will be speaking to convince her. After his all argument she will say, “..you see what I say you do that.” After the long argument she will do what she wants.

(10:38)

A small story. In the forest the marriage between the Lion and Lioness was going on. A big party and samba dance was happening. Suddenly one rat jumped inside and started dancing in center. One lion caught the rat and asked, “Hey, this is the marriage of Lion. How can you come and dance here?” The rat said, “Keep quiet! Before marriage I was also a Lion.” 🤣 So, when relationship happens with expectation this is what happens. Either he suppresses you or you suppress him. Whose voice is loud they win. It’s almost becomes like a political relationship. If your loudspeaker is big you win. That’s all.

(12:57)

Participant: You have said that people have… you said that you have to get rid of imagination to be happy. How can you find a partner who has got rid of his imaginations? How can you find a right partner? Swamiji: One thing the imaginations the others should drop the imaginations itself is a imaginations. So, if you expect that other partner should drop the imagination that is a one more of your imagination. It means you have not dropped your imagination. Drop your imagination surely your energy will pull the person who has dropped his or her imaginations. It’s like a tuning the radio. If you tune to one wavelength you will listen to traffic news, if you tune to other wavelength you will listen to samba music. According to your tuning you will receive that wavelength, you will attract the wavelength. When you really dropped the imagination you will exactly attract the person who has dropped the imaginations. You automatically attract your type of friends. The man who is addicted to drug wherever he goes exactly finds where the drug will be available. For a man who is addicted to drug you don't need teach him where it will be available any country, any city he goes, he knows how to find out. Just like that if you have dropped your imaginations you will exactly find the person who has dropped the imaginations. If you tune yourself you will naturally attract the person who will tune with you. Thank you. Yes.

(16:09)

Participant: She has, she finds the conclusion that the real happiness is beyond any human relationship. Swamiji: That is true. Real happiness is beyond any human relationship. When you drop the imagination naturally you are not in human relationship, you are in a divine relationship. Shiva says in Tantra when you drop your imaginations you became Shiva, she became Uma. So, you became God and Goddess. So, even when your eyes meet with each other so much of love and joy flows, the joy crosses the joy. Bliss with bliss. It is never in human relationships.

(17:38)

Participant: she is asking about imaginations and expectations, how to abandon them? Because her imaginations taking abandon her. Swamiji: One thing consciously when you understand imaginations only disturbs your life you can drop from conscious level. From unconscious level if you want to drop your imaginations do this muladhara meditation that will drop the unconscious level of imaginations. Katie?... Participant: One last question. Swamiji: There is no need to be last question. Participant: In case of human relationship it comes divine when both people have their expectations what happens in the case only one of them have their expectations. Swamiji: That is what I told you, if one abandon their expectations naturally the other will drop their expectations. Your energy works on him, his energy works on you. Transmission of energy and transmutation of energy happens.

Participant: Can you repeat the diseases related to muladhara? Swamiji: Chronic fatigue, all skin diseases, all body pains, feeling unrooted or discomfortable with body. Participant: For people who have pain during periods with lot of a cramps. Is it also advisable? Swamiji: Yes, this technique will help. Your hatred towards muladhara only makes your muladhara more painful. You make your muladhara too tight. You are too tensed. Participant: Why are you angry against the muladhara? Swamiji: Because first thing you expect something about the other. If he is not fulfilling then anger turns towards your own muladhara because the muladhara is the inspiration to expect from the other. So, the association if you have see… if you have taken some food cooked by one of your friend, when you the relationship breaks you start hating the food also. The sameway if your expectation is not fulfilled by the other person you start hating the total sex itself and muladhara itself.

(02:56)

Participant: She wants to know if she have a artistic conscience not consciousness or conscience is that contributes from the muladhara? Swamiji: No, artistic conscience heals your muladhara. It creates only visualization, never imagination. Real artistics will be less sexual, so real artist will be more sensual and not sexual. The big difference is there with imagination it is sexual, visualization it is sensual. Let us do the mediation part. I think you can call him. All of you can sit. Please listen the instruction. It’s a 30 minutes meditation, 3 ten minutes. First ten minute chaotic deep breathing. Second ten minutes tense your whole body, you should tremble.

The spleen chakra from lower level second chakra. It is called Swadhisthana. In English spleen chakra. But spleen is not there. Swadisthana means swa + adhisthana where your self is established. Swa means self, adhisthana means established. We will work on the chakra where the self is established. Why I told you this to understand the self is established only in Swadhisthana. Now we will work on Swadhisthana. Participant: Swamiji, she wants ask a few questions about…..(inaudible) Swamiji: Now ask. Participant: In meditation … during the previous meditation with any disease related to the region where muladhara is? Swamiji: Ah Yes. You can. All menstrual problems can be healed by that.

(02:18)

Fear is the emotion related to Swadhisthana chakra. That is why whenever you have a fear stroke your stomach will be churned. You get diarrhea, you rush to bathroom either to go to one or two. You understand what I mean by the word fear stroke? Anybody who understands fear stroke? Raise your hands explain. Participant: The fear stroke is like when you feel something is big manis and it spreads all around. Swamiji: For example, you are walking in your garden in the evening. There is no light. If you see a coiled rope what will happen? Participant: They think it is a snake. Swamiji: And…. Fear attack. After a moment you understand it’s only rope. But for moment you feel the whole body is shaking and you are given a shock. That is what I call fear stroke. When your flight is caught in turbulence; when a lift stops in between the floors; so when your cell phone rings in the midnight. These are all some of the reasons, some of the times when you get the fear stroke.

(05:15)

Participant: She is saying that another of same thing as scared. Is it sacred? Swamiji: Fear stroke. Any other instances in which you get fear stroke! Tell Me one by one. Participant: When you are armed robbery. Swamiji: 😀 Good example. Participant: Spiders. Participant: Sometime she has nightmares while sleeping and when she wakes up she sees like a shadow. Participant: Fear of not being able to.. not being capable. Swamiji: So, there are a lot of instances you get a lot of fear stroke. Few things about fear stroke: Minimum of 6 attacks every 24 hours you get. Minimum of 6 fear strokes every 24 hours you undergo, maybe major or minor. It’s like a shaking the roots of a rose plant. If you shake the roots of the rose plant 6 times per day what will happen? It withers away. Same thing happens to your being also. So, they will have to work to reduce the quantity and quality of fear stroke. The Swadhisthana is weak, that is why you get continuously fear strokes. To strengthen the swadhisthana we will do a meditation techniques from upanishads. Yes..

(09:06)

Participant: There are two kinds of fears: the sudden fear, the one that stops you, and the other kind of fear is more long term psychological kind of fear which is make you to cause …. Swamiji: Psychological fear is the root, sudden fear is the tree. So, for both reason is weak Swadhisthana. If the swadhisthana becomes strong you can overcome the fears. We will work on the swadhisthana with a small meditation technique to make it more strong and more alive. The color of the Swadhisthana is a black. We will meditate the color black to strengthen the Swadhisthana chakra. The color of the Swadhisthana is a black. That is why in all the cultures death is painted as black. When we meditate on the blackness, when we meditate on the darkness Swadhisthana gets strengthened. So, now we will start a simple meditation on Swadhisthana. It’s a two part; first 10 minutes is one part, second 20 minutes is other part. First thing you will breath deeply into swadhisthana chakra, deeply but slowly. So, you can strengthen the Swadhisthana chakra. And meditate on the blackness, vital alive darkness. That will make your Swadhisthana more solid and that will heal your Swadhisthana. So, you will start the meditation, get ready and sit.

What is Love ? || Part 1 || Ananda Spurana || 03 April 2004

Transcript:

(00:23)

First we will work on anahata chakra, the heart center. Now the real difficulty is going to be because he has to translate for Me and for you. Actually the original ASP is conversation. It is not a discourse. So, we will try. I will try My best to conduct same way. I will call you all by number because I will not be able to pronounce the names perfectly. I don’t want to misshape your names. So, I will call you by numbers. Please, you reply. I wanted you to reply what you feel about love, not from books or from philosophy from your experience. Number 9. Participant #9: Expansion. Participant #17: Happiness. Participant #22: Love is everything. It’s happiness, it’s comprehension, it’s the … Participant #50: It’s a peace…. it’s peace in your spirit, peace with yourself and others. Participant #4: Peace of spirit and calmness. Participant #3: Love is the consequence of connecting to the divine energy. It’s peace and tranquility. Participant #25: For me love is everything. Participant #18: To gain without knowing whom.

(04:38)

Swamiji: Okay, she can tell. What’s she saying! Participant #9: Love is good. Participant #37: Love is suffering. Swamiji: I think she is down to earth. What is she telling? Participant #37: If you had asked her, the answer would be the same. Swamiji: Love is suffering? Participant #37: It’s because I think we love so much we have to suffer. It’s the suffering that pains a lot of loving exaggeratedly. Participant #50: I think it’s a … fulfillness. Participant #44: Spiritual peace. Participant #33: Love is when I feel connected with everything, when I feel included.

(07:02)

Swamiji: That’s nice. Whenever you feel included, connected, whenever you feel…. whenever you feel bliss you give your love. Some of you told love is bliss, love is joy. For some of you it is a pain and suffering. But actually love is both. Whenever you give, just give and give you will feel blissful and joyful. But whenever you expect the others should be ... the others should give you whenever you want from others then it becomes suffering. Because asking love from others, asking attention from others is almost begging. It is psychological slavery. Actually if you feel good only when somebody loves you it means you are craving for others’ attention. Expecting others' attention or expecting or living on others opinion is a psychological slavery. If you feel good only by others attention it means you don’t have idea of yourself properly.

(09:30)

You have your own personality built based on others opinions. When your parents say you are a good person you think you are good. When the teacher says you are a good student you think you are good student. When your friend says you are intelligent you think you are intelligent. So, whenever you feel you are something, you are somebody you feel only from others opinions. It is a like a children's playing with the play cards they build castles. At least children are intelligent they build their castles with their own cards. You build your personality from others' certificates. If somebody takes away their certificate what will happen to your castle! Just it collapses and falls in depression. That is what we call love is a suffering or pain. So, if you wait for somebody else to give you the love that love is nothing but a suffering. If you just give, give, give love will become an expansion. If you ask, ask, ask Love will become a slavery and pain. It’s like a centipede walking with hundred legs. It will become a slavery if one leg is not well you don’t move.

(12:14)

If somebody doesn’t give their attention or love to you, you feel you are dejected. Life has become almost like a long signature campaign. You have a notebook in that you write ‘I am a good person’ please sign it. You just down begging signature from everybody. If you move one inch by other’s love you are psychologically handicapped. Don’t wait for others to give, just pour your being out. Love is a peacemaker. If you have peacemaker in your heart you don’t need a pacemaker. Because the love will make your being function beautifully. When you center your energy on your heart, when your whole energy is centered on your anahata you radiate love continuously. Continuously your being shines with love. So, on this subject, on this matter if you have any questions we will discuss those questions. Just on this subject. Participant: What if the person is in a bad mood can they love?

(14:44)

Swamiji: One thing can you ask, “I am a patient, can I have medicine”? Patient only needs more medicine. If you are in bad mood give your love. If somebody is in bad mood give your love to them. Because love heals you and him both. Medicine heals only the person who takes. Love heals the person who gives and the person who takes. It is a double edged sword but this sword only heals but never kills. Participant: Yesterday something very strange thing happened to me. I saw a very old beggar on the street and I bought a plate of food for him. I offered a plate of food but he said, “No I don't want it.” So, she ended up this is right before the lecture. So she ended up taking the plate of food and giving it to the door man in the lecture place yesterday. What do you think of the person who rejects? Swamiji: Maybe he is not hungry. You see, sometime the… even the expectation that they should accept is an expectation and sometimes something is good for you but not good for him. So, we try to.. we always expect the other should behave as we want. If you expect the other should behave as you want again it is an attention need or love need. So, whenever you expect you will naturally end up being in trouble and pain. If you have the hope of having it back you will end up only in hopelessness. That’s all.

Participant: In the bhakthi sutras we saw that love in the absence on the lacking of it is bigger. Can you expand on that? Love on the absence of the …it is bigger. Can you expand on that? Swamiji: One thing… Participant: She is saying that… bigger than the person.. physical reality. Swamiji: You see that sutra is for the purpose of the divine love. But I tell you when the person is not there you think so much of him. That’s all. But it’s not that love becomes too much. You love the person only who is absent and if you don’t love the person who is.. who are present then what is the use of love? The starting naturally when you start loving the absence helps. But you should grow to such a level you must be able to love continuously even if he is present. Even if he does not respond as you want you are expected to flow because it is not for his sake, it is for your sake. Love heals you.

What is Love ? || Part 2 || Ananda Spurana || 03 April 2004

Swamiji: Yes… Participant: Is there is a different kinds intensities of love or one type of love can exist? Swamiji: Surely different kind of intensities. Three things: One, giving your love, first kind of love even if they don’t love. Giving your love even if they don't give. Second thing, giving your love only if they respond. Third thing, even if they give you don't give. So, there are three kinds of intensities. It is always good to be in the first kind. At least in the second kind but never in the third kind. If you are in the third kind you are third rate.

(02:17)

Participant: Why is it so hard to give and receive love? Why people feel little apart and taken back and the … Swamiji: Because your ego feels always your boundary is here. For any moment and every moment we feel, “What is for me? What is for me?, What is for me?” Ego centeredness makes you always feel the whole world is your enemy. When you try to protect yourself you feel everybody is try to exploit you or disturb you. Your ego centeredness makes you feel again and again, everybody is your enemy. But nobody is your enemy. Just give your being, love, heart open then you will understand whole world is your friend. Plants take energy directly from sun, directly from air, directly from the existence. But we are not able to. Why? Because of your ego centeredness you feel the whole weather or temperature, sun, air, ether everything is your enemy. You try to protect yourself from them. You don't feel relaxed with the nature. Relax with the nature, start loving everybody you will see, you will be ten times more energetic than you are now. I am not teaching something theory or superstition. It is science.

In Tibetan Lamas an experiment has been conducted by Wisconsin University. The scientists have felt the Lamas food intake and the energy which they produce is not at all logically connected. They take very little food but they work so much. How is it possible? When they tested they understood some higher energy, other sources of energy is being used in their body, in their system. Because their lifestyle is so loving, so hugging with the nature so with everybody the other energies, natural energies also help their body and mind to be happy and healthy. When I was staying with the Lamas somebody told Me in this monastery people live for more than 100 years. I went to a Lama who was looking very old. I asked him Swamiji, “Swamiji, are you oldest person here? Please tell Me how you are living so long”? He told Me, “No, no I am only 136. There are so many much older than me.” I asked him, “How are you living so long?" He says, “First thing we don't feel human life is 100 years. We feel human life is 300 years.”

And second thing we live one with the nature and love everything and everybody. So, the third thing they practice a meditation technique to center their energy everyday. Today now practice this technique to center your energy in your heart and to improve your energy of your body. This is called mahamantra. It’s from Tibetan buddhism to center your energy on your heart. Express the energy of anahata chakra. So, let Me give you the instruction how to do. Then we will start doing. First thing sitting straight. Second thing closing your eyes. Third thing 20 minutes of humming concentrate on the anahata portion. So, before that you will sit in a circular form so that everybody contributes to group energy and gets the total benefits. Everybody sit in circles. Seven circles of seven. Actually the money of the logic if ten of you put 10 rupees, the total will be 100 rupee. But all the ten cannot enjoy the 100 rupee, not all the ten can’t enjoy the 100 rupee. That guy will be a politician. If all the ten wants to enjoy they can only have ten, ten rupees. But in energy ten persons put ten, ten volt it becomes 100 volt current. After it becomes 100 volt if all the ten persons, all the ten persons will have 100 volt shock, not ten, ten volt shock.

(11:00)

And Master is like a transformer. He transforms it to the 100 volt into ten thousand volt current. Now you give 10 volt and it becomes 100 volt because of group, because of Master it becomes ten thousand volt. So, you give 10 volt and receive ten thousand volt. So, put your whole effort you will see your whole energy is rejuvenated and transformed. First thing forget you are separate from others. Feel you are one with everybody. Forget your separate boundaries, forget your separate ego, your education, your money, your wealth, your status, everything. Forget your religion, forget your wealth, forget your all status and education. Feel just one with everybody. Feel you are really one with everybody.

(13:24)

Start humming as loudly as possible, deeply as possible. Put your whole effort and hum. Meditation is in progress for 20 Minutes.
