Today, Seattle Nithyananda Vedic Temple celebrates the sixth anniversary! Blessings to the whole Seattle Sangha, and blessings to the whole Seattle!

Today, Mahadeva is gracing in the Leela of “PADAI KAATAL”. Means, he himself creates an army. Because the army chief spent all the money he got on Puja, Shiva Puja and he prays to Mahadeva, ‘Please create an army for me. Otherwise the King will ask for accounts.’ And then Mahadeva creates an army. He himself comes as chief. For the sake of his devotees, what all he has to do from that time to now. How many things he is made to do! So, today he is gracing us in the Padai Kadhalleelai.

Today, before entering into the satsangh, I want to make this important announcement. All over the world, our Sangha, Nithyananda Sangha should become cruelty-free. Not only we will be vegetarian in our eating, even in our lifestyle let us try to bring non-violence. Means, in so many ways. Actually, the goat needs its skin more than anybody else. Elephant needs its tusk more than anybody else! The tiger needs its skin more than anybody else! That is why I am not sitting on a tiger skin it’s a cloth printed tiger skin -style; understand, it is not tiger skin. We will try our best to make ourselves cruelty-free, especially all Sangha-related things. Of course, for all our devotees, life itself is Sangha. Devotees and disciples and everyone, life itself is Sangha.

So, I sincerely recommend, even in our life we will stop using leather items where the cruelty plays a major role. Don’t think, ‘Oh, if I just one person avoid wearing leather shoes, is it going to save some goats?’ Surely, yes! Yes! It will. It will.

So, other than the medical purposes – medical purposes it’s okay, it can be exempted – other than medical purposes, I sincerely recommend we will all make our life cruelty-free. Okay for all you guys? We will not use the silk which comes by the worms getting killed. There is a silk without killing worms. They make out of metal. Out of copper and gold and silver, they make zari. We will use that kind of silk.

So, let us all do a little research about the things we are using and let us all try to live as much as possible cruelty-free. May be, if you guys are already habituated for certain kind of lifestyle, it will take maybe next three months to move from that to this. Many things, without even knowing, you may be having leather items: leather handbag, leather belt, leather chair, car seat, leather car seat. Let us slowly remove all of that. Even if you already bought it, slowly stop using. Once you stop using, you will not buy it again. We will make ourselves cruelty-free. We will make ourselves non-violent even in our lifestyle.

And we will also avoid using diamond. Because, for diamonds, lot of people have to die! The diamond industry is the worst industry which swallows so many lives. So, we will also slowly stop using diamonds. Even on the deity jewelleries, I’ll start using artificial diamonds. The natural diamond’s cutting process, during the natural diamond’s cutting process, lot of people die and it is a blood business! Lot of bloodshed happens.

So, all the countries all over the world, especially US – because US only you guys consume. so much, the whole world is sucked! So, you guys must be using too many things – try to align everything as much as possible to nonviolence. All our temples, ashrams, centres, you can take maximum three months. In that three months get back to nonviolence. Everything animal-cruelty-related things should be cleaned.

So, in all our decorations, lifestyle, our personal make-up, even in your personal make-up, you will not be using which comes through the cruelty, by killing, by torturing. We will avoid all of that. This leather purse, so many things are there: lipstick! That is the big fad! I don’t know how they put that in the mouth “pup...pup...pup” after that? Aarrghh!!!

So, I request sincerely, all you guys, let us make ourselves cruelty-free, non-violent.

I’ll continue to expand on how directly Inner Awakening enriches your life. Please listen.

Every-day life of a human-being is not as difficult as we go on believe or made to believe. And the success is not always hard work. To tell you honestly, success is never a hard work. If you are working hard, you will be like a beggar only, who works hard from morning to night and collects one rupee, one rupee, one rupee, one rupee. Even in the night he will be having only maximum thousand rupees. A person who earns per day a thousand rupees is never going to become a millionaire or a big successful person. He may be successful in having food and a little bank balance. He may be giving loans. In India, actually, beggars are much more richer than the middle-class people! Anyhow but that is not success! You cannot use the word “success” for it.

Most of the time, that immediate cognitions you have, decides the quality of your life. Danse suniya , please listen. The immediate cognition you have decides your life. Whether falling in love, or getting married, or taking Sannyas, accepting a job, or rejecting a job, or leaving a job, the immediate cognition, that plays a major role. The immediate cognition plays a major role.

Listen. The immediate cognition plays a major role. I wanted all of you to listen to this word once more: Immediate cognition plays a major role! I am repeating it three times. When you face a situation, what you cognize immediately. Sometimes, you slowly think, rethink, meditate, contemplate, complete, you do all of that and then come to certain cognition. But, please understand, your decision is going to be done only by immediate cognition. Your contemplation, thinking, everything may influence your decision but that itself may not be decisively decision-making. Please listen! Your thinking, contemplation, analyzing, intranalyzing, all these, at the most can only influence the decision. They cannot be decisively decision-making. So, the immediate cognition you carry, immediate cognition you carry plays a major role.

Please understand, in the Inner Awakening, I am giving you the right immediate cognition. Because the immediate cognition goes on functioning in one way in your life and your intranalyzing, intellectual understanding goes on functioning in other direction. The gap between these two is called “Vaasana”. You go on visualizing you will have a happy, beautiful, great family and Sangha around you, joyful employees and employers around you. But the moment your wife or husband calls, the moment you pick up the phone, ‘Aaaaa! Tell me!!!!’ And you justify yourself: ‘Slowly I will change myself. Later on I will become friendly, loving. And then they will become friendly, loving. And then we will become happy family.’ You go on keeping your fantasy alive and go on working in a completely opposite direction! If I expose you to you, you jump on me, try to bite me!

The “vaasana”..... In Sanskrit we have a beautiful word – “Samskara”, “Vaasana”. “Vaasana” means, having the unconscious life patterns which is completely against the reality you want to cause in your life. Having and working in an unconscious way which is completely opposite to the reality you want to cause for yourself and others. See, why is this happening?

Yesterday we were having one of the best processes I have ever designed. Everyone is telling when they declare their reality, they will have a amazing group of people around them, they will be loving towards them and they will all be loving towards them. So such an amazing description. ‘We will speak into their listening and they will speak into my listening.....lala lala...’ Everyone is declaring their reality as a “La la Land”! But I told them to take one step: ‘Alright, for this kind of reality to happen around you, the first step you need to do is ability to speak into the listening of the people.’ Only if you release the gas from the stomach, digestion will happen. Only if you remove the “vaasanas” from your life, only if you make the person understand his “vaasana”, you will be able to speak into the listening of that person. In a stomach with gas, digestion can never happen. Understand, same way, mind filled with “vaasana”, listening can never happen. If somebody is filled with “vaasanas”, you will never be able to speak into the listening of that person. So, the first thing to do is make that person understand he is suffering because of his “vaasanas”.

I told the group, ‘Each one of you will help everyone to identify only one “vaasana” and complete. That’s all!’ First time I am seeing, the whole group is in such an uncomfortable situation. They didn’t say “no” to me. They tried to say “no” in so multiple ways. But I am a taskmaster! “Do it” means, “DO IT”! There is no two meaning for any one word. I give only doing meaning for any word doing meaning. First they said, ‘No, no. No this, no that.’ I could see the people who were telling, ‘I want to really create a spiritual community around me...’, they were the most reluctant! It was, ‘No, no, ah, ah, ah, ah!’ I said, ‘Nothing doing! This is your “vaasana”!’

What you want to do and what is the way you are doing, you go on pushing your hope, saying, ‘Tomorrow I’ll change. After a few days I’ll change. I’ll change! Don’t push me too much! Otherwise I may give up!’ If you give up who cares? Actually, we blackmail even ourselves: ‘I‘ll give up!’ I wanted to give them the new name “self-blackmailers”! Self-blackmailing is self-denial. That is the source of self-denial. SDHDBM – Self-Doubt, Self-Hatred, Self-Denial, Self-Blackmailer! Listen, self-blackmailing is the source of all the invited diseases; like when life your declaration demands you to work more than eight hours, you invite back pain so that you can lie down, you invite cough and cold so that you can lie down, you invite fever, you invite body pain so that you can lie down. Understand, you tell yourself, ‘If I am forced to work more than six hours, I am going to have leg pain, I am going to have stomach pain, I am going to have headache.’ Understand, this self-blackmailing is the invitation for self-invited diseases. There are some diseases you inherit; there are many diseases you invite.

Listen! The self-blackmailers are the most cunning human-beings on Planet Earth, because they develop the pattern of constant blackmailing from the young age. If the mother does not give the biscuit, start crying! If the brother is not giving the chocolate, kick the leg and jump in the floor! If the sister is not giving the sweet, go and hit your head on the wall! Self-blackmailing! I tell you, the peak of the self-blackmailing pattern is suicide. And peak of the self-blackmailing pattern is inability to decide. SBM – Self-BlackMailing pattern.

So, immediate cognition, your immediate cognition, and the cognition which you derive after intranalyzing, when there is a gap, you suffer with “vaasanas”. I tell you, most of your sufferings are not from “samskaras”; it is from “vaasanas”. Most of your sufferings are not from “samskaras”. You are not that big a guy that “samskaras” need to come and torture you! “Samskara” is strong pattern you built on which your life functions. “Vaasana” means, the unconscious patterns in which you are functioning, which is completely opposite to the reality you want to cause. Smell of the “samskara” is “vaasana”. “Samskara” is like a army, “Vaasana” is like a local police. Listen, the “vaasanas” you carry continuously inside you and the self-blackmailing patterns you carry, these are the immediate cognition.

Finally I managed to inspire, convince the participants and only after going through the process they realized this process literally makes them to stand pure in front of them. It is realizing your own state of Nirvana! This word “nirvana” has been abused, misinterpreted, wrongly translated as a “nudity”. No! Nirvana means, “standing in front of you without any covering; you facing you”! When you find your “vaasanas”, you face you. The beauty of the “vaasanas” is, the moment you find, it will disappear. For “samskara” only you need completion. For “vaasanas”, spontaneous completion is enough.

I tell you, this was part of the pratyahara yesterday Inner Awakening people were doing. See, for every extraordinary power, Patanjali has given a certain pratyahara, dharana, dhyana. That pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, Samadhi, all these four put together is called “Samyama”. Patanjali has given for every special power, siddhis, a special Samyama – special pratyahara,, special dharana, special dhyana, special samadhi. But usually Samadhi state is one and the same so only this three differs: pratyahara, dhyana, dharana. Yesterday, first time I revealed the pratyahara for Mano Siddhi, Ishta Siddhi, Ishta Siddhitwa. To achieve what you want, the pratyahara. To cause your reality and others’ reality, the pratyahara. I wanted all gurukul kids to be trained in this process. May be Mahants who are managing the Gurukul, so both Mahants, take the notes from yesterday’s class and I wanted this to be taught to our kids from the beginning. Because, I am going to do the next experiment: making a different variety of banana happen in one tree, making a different taste of mango happening in one tree, through the power of the Gurukul kids. I’ll teach them the Mano Siddhi. How they made the rose bush drop the thorns, same way the sour mango tree, just by relating with it, doing this Samyama with that tree, they will make that tree give a very sweet mango fruits!

Yesterday I saw our Gurukul brahmacharis were doing Rudra Homa. The moment they finished Rudra Homa, it started drizzling. We were walking away and we turned back. They said, ‘Yes, Swamiji! Before doing the Rudra Homa, we made an intention it should rain and it started!’ Otherwise this is not the rainy season! Our kids are mastering, really mastering the science. I tell you guys, I’ll surely produce at least a few thousand siddhas just through the Gurukul in next few years! Our Gurukul will be like a Harry Potter house! The Harry Potter, they do a little magic. Here, our Gurukul kids, they will play with the different Mano Siddhis.

Understand, one of the important qualities of the “vaasana”, how much ever spiritual awakening, it will just give you one cup of wine and make you sleep. Over! Will never allow you to proceed. The intranalyzed cognition which is the prasada of the inner awakening will never be allowed to become the immediate cognition; is the power of “vaasana”. The food you eat will never become energy in your body; that is the power of the gas sitting in your stomach. Like gas in the stomach will never allow the food to be converted as energy, the intranalyzed cognition which is the prasada of the inner awakening, your “vaasana” will never allow it to become immediate cognition. Understand, the intranalyzed cognition becoming immediate cognition is the work of Guru. Guru’s grace is required only there. But that can happen only if you are completely non-violent and surrendering to the Guru. Because when I expose your “vaasanas” to you, you will experience so much of anger and violence towards the Guru.

One of our Swami’s was trying to train his Brahmachari. This fellow was completely on integrity and no authenticity.

Let all the intranalyzed cognitions become immediate cognition so that the “vaasanas” are completed, Ishta Siddhi is achieved, postponing stops.

I bless you all! Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility and Enriching and Causing eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you.
