Four Easy Steps to Shivoham

Description:

In today’s (19th November, 2014) Morning Satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda gives us an easy, logical technique to complete with doubts around the statement: I am Mahadeva! The problem is that we think our incompletions and patterns are the reality, making us doubt that we that are already Shiva. The best thing is that there are no prerequisites or conditions; it is only our logic that needs convincing. 1st of the KISS (Keep it Simple Series) of talks on Shivoham

Listen! I will expand on ‘SHIVABODHA’. The word ‘bodha’ seems more down to earth than ‘Shiva Ananda’. The word ‘Shivananda’ seems to be very remote; but ‘Shivabodha’ seems to be immediate. ‘Shiva Ananda’ can be translated as ‘bliss of being Shiva’. ‘Shivabodha’ can be translated as ‘intoxication of being Shiva’. Whatever may be the translation, ultimately, experience is one. When the ‘bodha’ becomes permanent, it is ‘ananda’. When ‘ananda’ gives its glimpse once in a while, it is ‘bodha’, that’s all. When the intoxication becomes permanent, eternal, it is ‘bliss’. When the bliss comes once in a while and goes, it is ‘intoxication’, Shivabodha. See, it is a kind of a logical exercise you need to do, a simple logical exercise.

The FIRST LOGIC you have to establish in yourself is: ‘My guru is the ultimate spiritual expression I know. As far as I know, my guru. There might have been bigger or smaller (gurus), I don’t know. But, whatever I know.... There might have been the greatest whisky, brandy, coffee, tea....might have been, might be....but what comes in my cup only I can drink. The best I can, I get it to my cup. The best I can is my guru...I know is my guru. That is the best spiritual expression I know. He told me clearly I am Mahadeva. Then, this is the path I need to start walking.’ That is the first logic you need to establish in you.

SECOND: ‘He did not tell me if I become like this I am Mahadeva, if I behave like that I am Mahadeva, if I reduce my tummy I am Mahadeva or clean my face I am Mahadeva or shave my hair I am Mahadeva or leave my hair long I am Mahadeva. No! He said, ‘You ARE Mahadeva as you are’. Then the whole problem boils down to somewhere me not accepting it. There is no other factual, logical point that why I am not Mahadeva.’

Please understand, there is a vast difference between the stone temple built like this with a pillar, and this decoration structure. This is a decoration structure. Both may look like same, but there is a vast difference. Same way, all the reason why you think you are not Mahadeva are like this, the decoration pieces reason. Not, even though it looks like factual, but not factual reasons. Listen! Listen! This may look like pillar, but this cannot do the job of the pillar. It can be a decoration as pillar.

Same way, the reasons you have why you are not Mahadeva are not factual. They are not cognizable. They are not real in Cosmic Law of Life. Because, your guru did not tell you if you become this, this, this, you are Mahadeva. No! I might have told if you experience Shivoham, this, this, may express through you. But I never tell; if I told I am withdrawing. Even if you understood, or heard, I am withdrawing those statements. No pre-condition for Shivoham. Shivoham is the unconditional truth. Shivoham is the unconditional apology Maya gives you, delusion gives you. It says, ‘You are That! Sorry for deluding you for all these days. Please forgive me. Unconditionally I am apologizing and leaving you.’

Understand, the SECOND LOGIC you need to establish inside you is: ‘There is no pre-condition, pre-qualification for me to experience, live, radiate Shivoham.’

And, I am also reminding you that Day One you will not be able to perfectly experience Shivoham; you don’t have to bother about it. Whatever YOU know as Shivoham! You may not be able to immediately sit under the Kalpavriksha and give initiation, enlightenment to people. But you will be able to easily give one small soap, comb, cloth, rudraksha you have around you. When somebody comes and asks, be like Mahadeva. Will Mahadeva say ‘No!’? No! Whatever YOU know as Mahadeva!

I can give you some simple basic expressions of Mahadeva: SAT-CHIT-ANANDA. He is ‘Sat’ – Truth. He is ‘Chit’ – Conscious, alive. He is ‘Ananda’ – Bliss, bliss of constantly being himself; bliss of constantly being himself.

So, understand, start with that: ‘I am in bliss of just being myself. I am in bliss of being Mahadeva.’ And whatever logic says, ‘I am not Mahadeva, I am not the Ultimate’, is not factual; because, ‘If it is factual, my guru would have told me! My guru did not tell ‘with all these conditions you are Shivoham’. No!’

There is no fine-prints involved in Shivoham initiation. Shivoham is Shivoham is Shivoham. There is no star (*) mark, and below, in fine-print: ‘Conditions Apply’. No! You ARE Mahadeva! You ARE Mahadeva! You ARE Mahadeva!

Listen, Listen intensely! So, all the logic and reason you are having to say, ‘No, no, no. I don’t think I am Mahadeva’, that has something to do with you, and not it has something to do with reality. Listen! If you have any reason that you are not Mahadeva, Shivoham is not the reality for you, that logic, that reasons have nothing to do with reality. It has something to do with you. You need to work only on that.

Understand, the moment you know these pillars are not stone, original pillars, simply you know how to remove it. You will have the energy, intelligence, everything, just to pull it out. But, as long as you are thinking it is a stone pillar, you won’t even come near to remove it! So, anything which says you are not Shiva, those logic has nothing to do with reality; it has something to do with you. This is the second logic you need to establish within you.

The THIRD LOGIC......

Please understand, in a very beautiful Sankhya way – ‘Sankhya’ means, ‘liberating logic’, ‘enlightened thinking’ – through the liberating logic, enlightened thinking, I am initiating all of you into this Shivoham. You will see this, these seventeen days of Nithyanandeshwara Brahmotsavam, Mahadeva is really going to dance here! He is preparing! I think these seventeen days you guys are going to have a feast of Shivoham! This Brahmotsava we will celebrate with the theme of Shivoham. I think in four days we are starting. Twenty-third (23 November 2014), the Poorvanga Puja, the first rituals are starting.

Listen! The NEXT LOGIC (THIRD LOGIC) you need to establish within you: ‘Anything which is not factual, I can complete it. After all, it is my freedom. I created the delusion around me. All this I kept it as a decoration, these pillars and all this. This is not a stone structure. If I want to alter it, I can move or remove.’ That remembrance itself will drastically reduce the powers of incompletion, the power incompletion has over you, understand?

Today, this is, what I am doing now is layman’s initiation into Shivoham, initiating a layman into Shivoham. There is a series of books called ‘KISS’, very popular in U.S. ‘Keep It Simple Series’ it is called. KISS! That series books are very popular. Just like ‘Books for Dummies’! All the major topics you will see – ‘Yoga for Dummies’, ‘Tantra for Dummies’, ‘Hinduism for Dummies’, ‘Buddhism for Dummies’, ‘Christianity for Dummies’, ‘Bible for Dummies’. Take all the major topics, you will see that ‘Dummies’ title books. And, same way, one more series that, ‘The Idiot’s Guide to ........’. That is also a very popular series. And this ‘Keep It Simple Series’ – KISS – is one more popular series. And ‘Chicken Soup for the Soul’, that is one more popular series. I don’t know how many of you are able to believe, I have read thoroughly the whole series, all these four! All these four I spent time. I think, each series, around hundred to two-hundred books are available. ‘Chicken Soup’ is more than that....four-hundred. Just scanning, scanning, scanning, scanning. After ten-twelve books, you just know the thought-trend, and you catch it. It is a beautiful way of spreading knowledge. Amazing work they have done! I thank all the four series’ publishers.

Just like that, today this is K-I-S-S, Keep It Simple Series on Shivoham! Straightforward! No hanky-panky, unturned stones, unattended portions, unexplained logic. No! Straight K-I-S-S series! Actually, I want to create like that, ‘Guaranteed Solutions’ series. We will do it! We will do it! And ‘Living Enlightenment’ series - I wanted to do that. ‘Living Enlightenment for Pregnant Women’, ‘Living Enlightenment for Nursing Mothers’, ‘Living Enlightenment for Teenage Kids’, ‘Living Enlightenment for Confused Youth’, ‘Living Enlightenment for Spoiled Brat’, ‘Living Enlightenment for Unmarried Youth’, ‘Living Enlightenment for Married Bound’! Books are books are books whatever is said and done. You can’t compete with books to transmit knowledge. Nothing like books! You may find thousand and one new things like Kindle, Internet, everything. Only nuts can read and receive knowledge in the Internet. Nobody else! How will you read thousands of pages in the computer screen? No! That doesn’t give you that kind of a fulfillment. And, moreover, when the book is in your hand, you can pick up any chapter any area, you can play with it! You can read the last chapter come back to the first chapter to understand the thought current. The free flow of ability to play is denied in kindle or any other electronic versions.

Books are the books are the books! It will be irreplaceable knowledge medium even though tons and tons of new methodologies come. Still, even though I am tech savvy and use all the possible technology, still, for knowledge receiving or knowledge giving, I depend on books. That is more reliable! The publishing industry should be revived. It is dying in a very bad way; in West especially. It should be revived.

Listen! Let me come back to this ‘Keep It Simple Series’.

The NEXT LOGIC you need to establish: ‘Let me start celebrating all the qualities I can radiate as Mahadeva.’

Being blissful always just because you exist is ‘Shivabodha’, being intoxicated of being Shiva. Actually, you don’t even need to struggle. Just visualize it is there; it is there oozing like blood oozing in the body. The energy of Shivabodha! And Shiva is not some dead qualities; he is a living being! Request him, ‘O, Mahadeva, I request you, I am a initiated disciple. I am authorized to invoke you and request you.’

Initiation gives you the authority; so you don’t even have to have the doubt, ‘Am I qualified to invoke him? Am I qualified to call him? Am I qualified to receive him?’ No! Initiation gives you authority.

‘I am initiated disciple. I invoke you. Please come inside. Be you. Let me be you. Let you be me. Let you just be.’

And he is such vibrant, living, intelligent being! When you invoke him, he clears tons of incompletions which you were thinking too big. Invoke him again and again. Invite him again and again. When you invoke him, you don’t need to be cleaning up everything bit by bit, inch by inch – ‘Oh, this corner of the house I have to clean and burn the dust.’ When he comes, the whole thing is burnt, nothing is left! He remains as he! Establish this few logic.

I request everyone, all the satsangis, today’s satsang watch at least two-three times. Logically you need to be convinced, understanding. Then, naturally you will internalize, this great truth.

I have given four points today. This is the essence of today’s satsang. Just simple, straightforward initiation into Shivoham!

Today, the whole day, in Nithyananda TV, the satsangh will be replayed continuously. Please watch.

Mahadeva, Shiva, as Mahadeva I initiate all of you powerfully into this great truth, Shivoham, Shivoham, Shivoham. Live this truth.

I will continue to expand in further satsangs with this Shivoham.

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