I welcome you all with My Love.

“Love, The Door To Divine”, today’s subject. You are nothing but your emotions, your feelings and your thoughts. How much you try to escape, how much you try to avoid, how much you try to cover yourself, but you are nothing but your mind. We always try to hide ourself, to escape from ourself, into the outer world, into the comforts, into the entertainments. Whenever you try to escape from yourself, whenever you try to hide yourself into the outer comforts, into the outer world joys, into the outer world experiences, whenever you try to entertain yourself by the world, by the outer comforts; how much you try, how much you escape, all your entertainment comes to an end.
 +
 +
(2:38)
 +
 +
All your entertainment reminds you- you are not as you are. That is why almost all entertainments makes you tired. In the weekend, you think you will entertain yourself totally. You go here-there, do all sorts of things which you think as a entertainment or enjoyment. Go to club; go to pub, go to bar, wherever you want. And Monday morning you will be totally tired. You will have the feeling, “Why the sun has raised? Can’t it be little bit delayed? Can’t it be little bit delayed?” Whatever you think as a entertainment, whatever you think as a joy, how much you try to tell your mind, how much you try to teach your mind, “This is joy, that is joy, why don’t you have this, why don’t you have that?” But again and again and again, your being, your mind comes back to a position and shows you very clearly in the experience.
 +
 +
(4:08)
 +
 +
Of course, mind can’t tell you, but it shows you in your experience. Wherever you may go, wherever you may wander, wherever you may do; unless your Being is joyful, unless your Self is joyful, you cannot have the joy, you cannot have the Bliss. That is what is showed to you. How much you try to entertain yourself through so many other sources, you will see finally, you end up in a utter failure, utter failure. Of course, intelligent few understand in few trials, stubborn people take their own time to understand. But either, today or tomorrow, you have to understand unless your Self is happy, unless your Being is happy, nothing else can make you happy.
 +
 +
(5:10)
 +
 +
First, whether you accept or not, whether you understand or not, you are nothing but your emotions, you are nothing but your thoughts, you are nothing but your feelings. You relate with the world, you relate with the universe only through your emotions, only through your thoughts, only through your feelings. If you don’t know how to handle them, if you don’t know how to use them, whatever you may use, whatever you may have from the world, will not give what you want. Unless you have the painless body, body without any pain, whatever may be the height of your bed you cannot have rest. Because only through your body, you can enjoy the bed. You can enjoy the comfort of the bed. If your body is not a proper position, if your body is not without any pain, then how can you enjoy whatever may be the size. I see in all the hoardings, they say queen bed. Whether it is a queen bed or king bed, unless you have painless body, what can you enjoy? No.
 +
 +
(6:38)
 +
 +
The same way, world, you may have a bigger car, bigger house, bigger relationships, bigger families, but unless you have your feelings, your mind, your thoughts within you, within yourself within your control, what you can have? You may have everything, but you will not have yourself. You relate with the world only through your emotions, through your feelings, through your thoughts. If your hand is dirty, any food may be brought to you, and kept in front of you, can you enjoy them? No. Same way, we work so much for creating the outer world comforts. You work so much for your food but you forget to wash your hands. Can you enjoy? No. Your work so much for the outer comforts, you forget, to which you are going to enjoy the world, to cleanse that portion. To which you are relating with the world, to use it, to clean that portion.
 +
 +
(8:04)
 +
 +
The hand with which we are going to relate with the world, that is what I call it as emotions, feelings and thoughts. Emotions, feelings and thoughts are the hands with which we are touching the world, we are relating with the world. If those things are not totally under your control, if you have not understood totally all these things, you can be sure whatever you may have, you will miss yourself. You relate with the world, you relate to the world only through your greed, through your fear, through your worries, through your attention, through your creativity, through your ego or conditioning, through your mind or the being. These are the few aspects with which you relate with the world. We’ll try to explore every aspect.
 +
 +
(9:18)
 +
 +
First, the Greed. The very word creates the idea of condemnation in you. The very word Greed, means you immediately feel that it should be suppressed, it should be suppressed. Never, nothing should be suppressed. None of your emotions, none of your thoughts, none of your feelings should be suppressed. If you try to suppress your hand, is it going to help you? Never. It’s never going to help you. Suppressing your hand is only going to make you paralyzed, crippled. Same way suppressing your emotions, suppressing your feelings is going to only mentally retard you. You are going to become only mentally crippled, mentally disturbed. The way in which you relate to the world should never be suppressed. Those emotions or those feelings should never be suppressed. They should be properly used, they should be properly used.
 +
 +
(10:30)
 +
 +
The way in which you relate to the world, the same way only you relate to the God also. Relating to the world and relating to the God is one and the same. If you do not know how to relate with the world, you can never relate to The God. If you try to relate with the God without relating with the world, you’ll be relating with only photographs and the statues, never the Being or never the presence of the God will be felt by you. If you can’t relate with the living persons around you, how can you expect you can relate with the God whom you have never seen? You’ve never seen him. How can you relate with the God? How can you relate with the Being whom you’ve never seen? No.
 +
 +
(11:23)
 +
 +
You relate with the world or with the God only through this emotions, through this thoughts, through this conditionings. How we relate with the divine, how we use this emotions as a door to divine; I’ll explain how these emotions can lead you from one step to the other step, the one step to the other step. How finally the love, highest emotion. When your intellect reaches its peak it becomes intelligence. When your emotion reaches its peak it becomes love. When your Being reaches its peak it becomes Enlightened. How the emotion, in its highest form, the love, can become a door to divine, can make you reach the divine. I’ll try to explain every emotion and finally the peak of the emotion, Love, how it can become door to the divine. It can be understood by you.
 +
 +
(12:43)
 +
 +
Greed - first, first energy centre in our body. Muladhara, root chakra is related to Greed. Greed, greed is the basic instinct; desire is a basic instinct with which we relate not only with the world, with the God. Almost all our relationship with the divine starts only with the greed and desire. Greed and the desire, through greed and desire is the thing through which we start relating to the divine at all. It may be directly or indirectly, but greed and the desire is the first thing which makes us religious, which makes us to knock the door of the divine.
 +
 +
(13:49)
 +
 +
You need to understand one thing. To start because of the greed is nothing wrong. But to stop in the greed level itself is something basically wrong. Vivekananda says beautifully, “It is good to be born in the Church, but not to die there.” It is good to start with the greed but not to end there. You should never stop in the level of greed itself. Greed and the desire, through which we relate with the divine. Of course, 90% of the people, till the end, they are with, they relate with the divine only through greed and desire. That is why almost all our religious places; there is a practice, praying or offering, almost a subtle business. We always say, “Do this O God.,, let me do that for you.” Not only in Eastern religions, even in the Western religions this type of that bargain is there.
 +
 +
(15:08)
 +
 +
Whenever you relate with the divine through greed, you go for offering, you go for the prayers, you go for taking vows. Almost all the relationship with the divine is due to greed, through greed. It can be a good starting step but not to end. Next, fear. Again, whenever fear arises, we try to take the shelter in the divine. Fear is also one more emotion which pushes you near the divine. Through greed, if you go towards the divine, when your greed is satisfied you know how beautifully you come out of it.
 +
 +
(16:10)
 +
 +
I can tell you a small story which I usually use this story. Three men are starting new business. They were having a thought: whether it’ll go successfully or not? So they decided we’ll pray to God. Whatever profit comes, one portion we will give it to God. Finally the business is started. After a year they saw more than a crore. Only God’s share comes. So much of benefit is made, so much of profit is done. God’s share alone is one crore. If it is 5000, 10000, we don’t mind putting it in the hundi. “Poor God, let him have.” When it is little too much, we start thinking second time. They went to a astrologer to ask for a second opinion. “Can we do something? Can we adjust somewhere?” The astrologer thought, “If I could give some good suggestion, I may get some portion.”
 +
 +
(17:29)
 +
 +
He gave a suggestion, “See, after all, you are all sons of the God, nothing wrong. Do one thing. You make a small pit on the ground. Convert all the money into gold. Throw everything up. Whatever falls inside the pit, put it in the hundi. Whatever falls outside, take that as a God’s Prasad, gift from Lord.” They went back to the house. Before doing the experiment, before doing the thing, one man got another one idea. “See we will make little big pit, whatever falls inside, we’ll take, whatever falls outside we’ll give it to God.” Third idea is the important thing. Third man said, “See, after all God is above. We’ll throw everything. Whatever God wants let him take. Whatever falls on the ground, we’ll have it for ourself.”
 +
 +
(18:35)
 +
 +
See before the business, we run to the divine. If you try to relate, whenever you try to relate with the divine through greed, as soon as it is satisfied, your greed is answered,  you give way. You give way for it. The same way, trying to relate with the divine through fear. Almost all the atheists, anybody who name as a atheist. See their last phase in their life. You will see they will turn to theism. Till the end they will be shouting, “No God! No God! No God!” and after the age of 70, when the strength in the nerves have disappeared, when the hormones have became silenced, silent. When the hotness in the blood, when it has come down, the sound of the “No” will slowly start disappearing. Only the God will be there. The “No God” idea... in that idea of “No God”, the “No” will disappear.

One man who has, who has lived throughout his life as a atheist, at the end somehow a small accident happened in his life. He has fallen from a cliff. He is just holding a tree, the root of a tree and shouting for help and he saw that root is also slowly coming down. When he saw he is going to die, he thought anyhow I am going to die. Why not give a small chance to God? Why not give a small trial? He shouted. He shouted with all his being, “Oh God! Throughout my life I never believed you. Now I will believe you. Please somehow save me. Save me. I will believe you.” God from above he told, ‘Alright I will save you, don't worry. Let go your hand. I will hold you. I will take care of you.’ Immediately he shouted, “Is there anybody else who can save me? Is there anybody else who can do something for me?”
 +
 +
(1:45)
 +
 +
Whenever you relate with the Divine through fear, you end up in the same way. Neither through greed, nor through fear you can relate with the Divine. You may try your best, but relationship can never happen.
 +
 +
(2:05)
 +
 +
One captain and his subordinates, three persons, all the four were travelling in a ship. Suddenly the storm has attacked the sea. The ship has started shaking. They felt total insecured. What to do? The captain started praying fervently. Oh God! Somehow save us. If you save us we will stop smoking. But God is not listening for the prayer. Still the ship is shaking. After ten minutes they started praying. God! please somehow save us. We will stop drinking. No answer. Still it is shaking. It is becoming only worse. He started shouting, Oh God! please save us somehow. We will stop womanising. The subordinate colleague told keep quiet, keep quiet, don't shout much. I think a small island is seen. We could see small island. Please don't go to that extent. A small island is seen. Through fear when you relate with the Divine, you can never relate.
 +
 +
(3:40)
 +
 +
Next through worries - Manipuraka. You try to relate with the Divine for the sake of your peace, for the sake of your silence. Now you will enter into a new phase. You will be able to relate. Fear and greed will never open the door to the Divine. Asking for peace will just allow you near that vicinity. Of course, just if you ask for the peace, you can't enter into the temple of God, but you can enter that vicinity.In a way, it is like a, you will not have the citizenship but like a green card, you will have a green card. Asking for peace is like a green card. You will be under the trial. You will be under the watch. But a good step; You will be allowed to park but not to enter into the temple.
 +
 +
(5:00)
 +
 +
When you ask for the next step, creativity, the throat. Through creativity you can relate with the God. Relating with the God through creativity. Now only first you will be entering into the space of the Divine. That is why, you can always see through art, through dance, through poets, through poems, you can relate with the Divine very well. Then through offering your money. I have seen in India, people who pour all their wealth on the temples. They will be pouring the wealth getting the only, getting only the blessings of the priests. Never the God.
 +
Person who pours his being, his emotion, his creativity, person who writes poems, person who creates dances, person who creates painting for the God, I have seen always they relate with the Divine, they get the blessings.
 +
 +
(6:13)
 +
 +
Whenever you pour the wealth, you get blessings of the priest. Whenever you pour your being, you get the blessings of God. I have always seen people having great satisfaction and blessings. In our ashram also, when they come and do some service, creativity, some way of spending the time, they go with more satisfaction, more benefit and more result than the persons who pour the wealth. Of course, when you pour the wealth with humility and humbleness, you spend the time also. You spend the heart also. Whenever you put only the money not the heart, you try to relate through the Divine, to the Divine through greed and the fear. Only when you put your time, only when you put your creativity, only when you do something for the Divine, you try to relate to the Divine through the plane of creativity.
 +
 +
(7:28)
 +
 +
You can always see throughout the ages in the spiritual histories, not only in Hindu tradition, in all the tradition, the spiritual figures, if you take their lives, if you take and read their backgrounds, the person who build the temple, spending his whole country, he will never be considered as a spiritual figure. But the person who went there and sang ten lines on that Lord, he will become a spiritual figure.
 +
 +
(8:01)
 +
 +
In South India, there are saints who went to the temples. They spent all their lives going around, seeing all the temples, and chanting stotras or singing songs. The person who built the temple, spending his whole life, whole money, whole energy, whole country. He is never considered as a spiritual person. But the person who just visited the temple and sang about the Shiva, sang about that Muruga, few words, few lines is considered as a spiritual figure.
 +
 +
(8:41)
 +
 +
The person who built the church is never cared. But person who prayed, he was always considered as a spiritual figure. So creativity can open the first step for you to the Divine.
 +
Then comes ultimately the ego. Of course, through ego you try to relate with the Divine. Two things you need to understand. When I say ego you should understand two things. The very idea ego itself should not be condemned. The way in which you use your ego only in that way, either it should be praised or condemned. The ego itself cannot be condemned. Ramakrishna says, if you have the ego that I am the servant of God, it will never harm anybody. That type of ego can never disturb anybody.
 +
 +
(9:58)
 +
 +
A small story from Bagavatham. You need to understand. Once a saint was living in a forest. His son was also living with him. The saint has gone out to take bath and do meditation. At that time one king came to ashram for the sake of blessing. The son of the Rishi, the son of the saint was staying there. He asked the king, ‘What for you came?’ The king said, ‘I have a skin disease throughout my body. I wanted the blessing of the rishi, sage. So I came here.’ Son said, ‘Chant Krishna's name three times. Chant Krishna's name three times.’ I think it has started chanting. As soon as I told...as soon as I told it has started chanting. ‘Chant Krishna's name three times. Then you will get rid of the disease.’ The king also chanted Krishna, Krishna, Krishna and miraculously the disease has disappeared. He has gone.
 +
 +
(11:38)
 +
 +
In East, the prayer healing is very popular. Of course, just twenty years ago the west has understood: The prayer can do miracles. I read in a book written by the Deepak Chopra. He says, twenty years ago they did a research on hundred patients. They took up hundred patients from different culture and from different background. They did research. How prayer can help a man to come out of his disease. They say all the hundred cases proved, at least fifty to hundred percent. From fifty, minimum of fifty percent, maximum of hundred percent...patients recover from after surgery. From after any surgery or after any problem. Fifty to hundred percent they recover just by prayer.
 +
Of course report is amazing. But he says the study has proved the power of prayer on a patient. It is not that the patient and the man who prays should be even related in any way. There are discoveries says one or two amazing things. The patient and the person who prays there is no need even they should have any relationship.
 +
 +
(13:22)
 +
 +
And the third thing, when a man prays in his own system so much of change happens, his immune system gets strengthened. Whenever we pray for somebody, not only he gets healed, your immune system gets strengthened. He says prayer is a journey into Consciousness. Thousands of years ago East knows the truth. Just twenty years ago West has discovered by the research. The scientist, the persons who recorded this research after a much reluctant feeling, after the...what to say...long discus...discussion, even after the long discussion, they were reluctant to publish the report because it is something totally new. How can you simply say a prayer can do so much in the system! But the study says it is true. No other way. Once they published the report then only the prayer has gained very big popularity in the west. Of course now the west also understands, the prayer can do miracles for healing, for recovery of the patients, recovery of anybody. Anyhow the son of the saint, the son of the rishi told the king chant three times Krishna's name and he will be healed. The king chanted and got healed and went away.
 +
Father came to him. As soon as the father came to the ashram, son was too proud...too pride by the miracle done by him. He went and told the father. Father, like this the king of this country came. He had a skin disease. I told him chant Krishna's name three times. He chanted. He got healed. The skin disease disappeared. He has gone back to the palace. He will come afterwards to take your blessings. He has gone back. He was too proud, too happy, too joyful that he has performed a big miracle.
 +
 +
(16:02)
 +
 +
As soon as the father heard this, he was totally entered into the mood of anger and he just looked at the son and told, “Fool, what you understood? Only this much you understood in my teachings? For ordinary skin disease you made that fellow to chant Krishna's name three times. Three times, he can cross the whole life. He can become Enlightened. He can go to directly moksha. For ordinary skin disease you made him chant three times. Then what is your understanding about spirituality? Only once is more than enough. If it is a disease, there is no need even for  him to chant. You just chant, if he listens that is enough.” And in his mood of anger, he curses the son. You have no faith on Krishna's name and finally the son goes to do more tapas, to understand, to have more faith in Lord's name. And he was sent to the forest to continue his tapas. He cannot be now accepted into the home. Go and do tapas to understand and come.
 +
 +
(17:34)
 +
 +
This story can show even through ego you can relate. The rishi has got solid ego. He is angry. But with a different reason, with a different understanding. The gopis used to tell, the Krishna's beloveds, that even Yama cannot touch us. Even Yama cannot do anything to us. Because we have touched the feet of Divine. We have touched the Lord's feet. When the Krishna's feet touches our head, Brahma's handwriting disappears. They say when the Lord's feet touches, Brahma's handwriting is erased or wiped. It is changed.
 +
 +
(18:27)
 +
 +
The ego will attach to the Divine. Ramakrishna will tell Vidhya Ahankara. The ego of Divine. If you feel you are son of Divine, your being is related to the Divine, the ego also can lead you to the Divine.
 +
The next step, it can make you relate with the Divine. Finally the Sahasrara Chakra, the ultimate energy centre, if you understand the emotion, the each emotion I am explaining is related to one one chakra- muladhara-greed, swadhisthana-fear, manipuraka-worry, anahata-attention, vishuddhi-creativity, ajna-ego, the sahasrara-Bliss. Bliss can directly open the gate to the Divine, door to the Divine. Bliss can directly put you into the Divine. When I say Bliss, I mean your being in love. You need to understand, love has got two dimension. Love as a act. And love as a being. Love as a act is a love as you understand. As you understand a normal love. Love as a being is Bliss. Love when it relates with others, it is love. It’s a relationship. When it is by itself, it is Bliss.

(0:47)

I welcome you all with My Love. “Love, The Door To Divine”, today’s subject. You are nothing but your emotions, your feelings and your thoughts. How much you try to escape, how much you try to avoid, how much you try to cover yourself, but you are nothing but your mind. We always try to hide ourself, to escape from ourself, into the outer world, into the comforts, into the entertainments. Whenever you try to escape from yourself, whenever you try to hide yourself into the outer comforts, into the outer world joys, into the outer world experiences, whenever you try to entertain yourself by the world, by the outer comforts; how much you try, how much you escape, all your entertainment comes to an end.

(2:38)

All your entertainment reminds you- you are not as you are. That is why almost all entertainments makes you tired. In the weekend, you think you will entertain yourself totally. You go here-there, do all sorts of things which you think as a entertainment or enjoyment. Go to club; go to pub, go to bar, wherever you want. And Monday morning you will be totally tired. You will have the feeling, “Why the sun has raised? Can’t it be little bit delayed? Can’t it be little bit delayed?” Whatever you think as a entertainment, whatever you think as a joy, how much you try to tell your mind, how much you try to teach your mind, “This is joy, that is joy, why don’t you have this, why don’t you have that?” But again and again and again, your being, your mind comes back to a position and shows you very clearly in the experience.

(4:08)

Of course, mind can’t tell you, but it shows you in your experience. Wherever you may go, wherever you may wander, wherever you may do; unless your Being is joyful, unless your Self is joyful, you cannot have the joy, you cannot have the Bliss. That is what is showed to you. How much you try to entertain yourself through so many other sources, you will see finally, you end up in a utter failure, utter failure. Of course, intelligent few understand in few trials, stubborn people take their own time to understand. But either, today or tomorrow, you have to understand unless your Self is happy, unless your Being is happy, nothing else can make you happy.

(5:10)

First, whether you accept or not, whether you understand or not, you are nothing but your emotions, you are nothing but your thoughts, you are nothing but your feelings. You relate with the world, you relate with the universe only through your emotions, only through your thoughts, only through your feelings. If you don’t know how to handle them, if you don’t know how to use them, whatever you may use, whatever you may have from the world, will not give what you want. Unless you have the painless body, body without any pain, whatever may be the height of your bed you cannot have rest. Because only through your body, you can enjoy the bed. You can enjoy the comfort of the bed. If your body is not a proper position, if your body is not without any pain, then how can you enjoy whatever may be the size. I see in all the hoardings, they say queen bed. Whether it is a queen bed or king bed, unless you have painless body, what can you enjoy? No.

(6:38)

The same way, world, you may have a bigger car, bigger house, bigger relationships, bigger families, but unless you have your feelings, your mind, your thoughts within you, within yourself within your control, what you can have? You may have everything, but you will not have yourself. You relate with the world only through your emotions, through your feelings, through your thoughts. If your hand is dirty, any food may be brought to you, and kept in front of you, can you enjoy them? No. Same way, we work so much for creating the outer world comforts. You work so much for your food but you forget to wash your hands. Can you enjoy? No. Your work so much for the outer comforts, you forget, to which you are going to enjoy the world, to cleanse that portion. To which you are relating with the world, to use it, to clean that portion.

(8:04)

The hand with which we are going to relate with the world, that is what I call it as emotions, feelings and thoughts. Emotions, feelings and thoughts are the hands with which we are touching the world, we are relating with the world. If those things are not totally under your control, if you have not understood totally all these things, you can be sure whatever you may have, you will miss yourself. You relate with the world, you relate to the world only through your greed, through your fear, through your worries, through your attention, through your creativity, through your ego or conditioning, through your mind or the being. These are the few aspects with which you relate with the world. We’ll try to explore every aspect.

(9:18)

First, the Greed. The very word creates the idea of condemnation in you. The very word Greed, means you immediately feel that it should be suppressed, it should be suppressed. Never, nothing should be suppressed. None of your emotions, none of your thoughts, none of your feelings should be suppressed. If you try to suppress your hand, is it going to help you? Never. It’s never going to help you. Suppressing your hand is only going to make you paralyzed, crippled. Same way suppressing your emotions, suppressing your feelings is going to only mentally retard you. You are going to become only mentally crippled, mentally disturbed. The way in which you relate to the world should never be suppressed. Those emotions or those feelings should never be suppressed. They should be properly used, they should be properly used.

(10:30)

The way in which you relate to the world, the same way only you relate to the God also. Relating to the world and relating to the God is one and the same. If you do not know how to relate with the world, you can never relate to The God. If you try to relate with the God without relating with the world, you’ll be relating with only photographs and the statues, never the Being or never the presence of the God will be felt by you. If you can’t relate with the living persons around you, how can you expect you can relate with the God whom you have never seen? You’ve never seen him. How can you relate with the God? How can you relate with the Being whom you’ve never seen? No.

(11:23)

You relate with the world or with the God only through this emotions, through this thoughts, through this conditionings. How we relate with the divine, how we use this emotions as a door to divine; I’ll explain how these emotions can lead you from one step to the other step, the one step to the other step. How finally the love, highest emotion. When your intellect reaches its peak it becomes intelligence. When your emotion reaches its peak it becomes love. When your Being reaches its peak it becomes Enlightened. How the emotion, in its highest form, the love, can become a door to divine, can make you reach the divine. I’ll try to explain every emotion and finally the peak of the emotion, Love, how it can become door to the divine. It can be understood by you.

(12:43)

Greed - first, first energy centre in our body. Muladhara, root chakra is related to Greed. Greed, greed is the basic instinct; desire is a basic instinct with which we relate not only with the world, with the God. Almost all our relationship with the divine starts only with the greed and desire. Greed and the desire, through greed and desire is the thing through which we start relating to the divine at all. It may be directly or indirectly, but greed and the desire is the first thing which makes us religious, which makes us to knock the door of the divine.

(13:49)

You need to understand one thing. To start because of the greed is nothing wrong. But to stop in the greed level itself is something basically wrong. Vivekananda says beautifully, “It is good to be born in the Church, but not to die there.” It is good to start with the greed but not to end there. You should never stop in the level of greed itself. Greed and the desire, through which we relate with the divine. Of course, 90% of the people, till the end, they are with, they relate with the divine only through greed and desire. That is why almost all our religious places; there is a practice, praying or offering, almost a subtle business. We always say, “Do this O God.,, let me do that for you.” Not only in Eastern religions, even in the Western religions this type of that bargain is there.

(15:08)

Whenever you relate with the divine through greed, you go for offering, you go for the prayers, you go for taking vows. Almost all the relationship with the divine is due to greed, through greed. It can be a good starting step but not to end. Next, fear. Again, whenever fear arises, we try to take the shelter in the divine. Fear is also one more emotion which pushes you near the divine. Through greed, if you go towards the divine, when your greed is satisfied you know how beautifully you come out of it.

(16:10)

I can tell you a small story which I usually use this story. Three men are starting new business. They were having a thought: whether it’ll go successfully or not? So they decided we’ll pray to God. Whatever profit comes, one portion we will give it to God. Finally the business is started. After a year they saw more than a crore. Only God’s share comes. So much of benefit is made, so much of profit is done. God’s share alone is one crore. If it is 5000, 10000, we don’t mind putting it in the hundi. “Poor God, let him have.” When it is little too much, we start thinking second time. They went to a astrologer to ask for a second opinion. “Can we do something? Can we adjust somewhere?” The astrologer thought, “If I could give some good suggestion, I may get some portion.”

(17:29)

He gave a suggestion, “See, after all, you are all sons of the God, nothing wrong. Do one thing. You make a small pit on the ground. Convert all the money into gold. Throw everything up. Whatever falls inside the pit, put it in the hundi. Whatever falls outside, take that as a God’s Prasad, gift from Lord.” They went back to the house. Before doing the experiment, before doing the thing, one man got another one idea. “See we will make little big pit, whatever falls inside, we’ll take, whatever falls outside we’ll give it to God.” Third idea is the important thing. Third man said, “See, after all God is above. We’ll throw everything. Whatever God wants let him take. Whatever falls on the ground, we’ll have it for ourself.”

(18:35)

See before the business, we run to the divine. If you try to relate, whenever you try to relate with the divine through greed, as soon as it is satisfied, your greed is answered, you give way. You give way for it. The same way, trying to relate with the divine through fear. Almost all the atheists, anybody who name as a atheist. See their last phase in their life. You will see they will turn to theism. Till the end they will be shouting, “No God! No God! No God!” and after the age of 70, when the strength in the nerves have disappeared, when the hormones have became silenced, silent. When the hotness in the blood, when it has come down, the sound of the “No” will slowly start disappearing. Only the God will be there. The “No God” idea... in that idea of “No God”, the “No” will disappear.

One man who has, who has lived throughout his life as a atheist, at the end somehow a small accident happened in his life. He has fallen from a cliff. He is just holding a tree, the root of a tree and shouting for help and he saw that root is also slowly coming down. When he saw he is going to die, he thought anyhow I am going to die. Why not give a small chance to God? Why not give a small trial? He shouted. He shouted with all his being, “Oh God! Throughout my life I never believed you. Now I will believe you. Please somehow save me. Save me. I will believe you.” God from above he told, ‘Alright I will save you, don't worry. Let go your hand. I will hold you. I will take care of you.’ Immediately he shouted, “Is there anybody else who can save me? Is there anybody else who can do something for me?”

(1:45)

Whenever you relate with the Divine through fear, you end up in the same way. Neither through greed, nor through fear you can relate with the Divine. You may try your best, but relationship can never happen.

(2:05)

One captain and his subordinates, three persons, all the four were travelling in a ship. Suddenly the storm has attacked the sea. The ship has started shaking. They felt total insecured. What to do? The captain started praying fervently. Oh God! Somehow save us. If you save us we will stop smoking. But God is not listening for the prayer. Still the ship is shaking. After ten minutes they started praying. God! please somehow save us. We will stop drinking. No answer. Still it is shaking. It is becoming only worse. He started shouting, Oh God! please save us somehow. We will stop womanising. The subordinate colleague told keep quiet, keep quiet, don't shout much. I think a small island is seen. We could see small island. Please don't go to that extent. A small island is seen. Through fear when you relate with the Divine, you can never relate.

(3:40)

Next through worries - Manipuraka. You try to relate with the Divine for the sake of your peace, for the sake of your silence. Now you will enter into a new phase. You will be able to relate. Fear and greed will never open the door to the Divine. Asking for peace will just allow you near that vicinity. Of course, just if you ask for the peace, you can't enter into the temple of God, but you can enter that vicinity.In a way, it is like a, you will not have the citizenship but like a green card, you will have a green card. Asking for peace is like a green card. You will be under the trial. You will be under the watch. But a good step; You will be allowed to park but not to enter into the temple.

(5:00)

When you ask for the next step, creativity, the throat. Through creativity you can relate with the God. Relating with the God through creativity. Now only first you will be entering into the space of the Divine. That is why, you can always see through art, through dance, through poets, through poems, you can relate with the Divine very well. Then through offering your money. I have seen in India, people who pour all their wealth on the temples. They will be pouring the wealth getting the only, getting only the blessings of the priests. Never the God. Person who pours his being, his emotion, his creativity, person who writes poems, person who creates dances, person who creates painting for the God, I have seen always they relate with the Divine, they get the blessings.

(6:13)

Whenever you pour the wealth, you get blessings of the priest. Whenever you pour your being, you get the blessings of God. I have always seen people having great satisfaction and blessings. In our ashram also, when they come and do some service, creativity, some way of spending the time, they go with more satisfaction, more benefit and more result than the persons who pour the wealth. Of course, when you pour the wealth with humility and humbleness, you spend the time also. You spend the heart also. Whenever you put only the money not the heart, you try to relate through the Divine, to the Divine through greed and the fear. Only when you put your time, only when you put your creativity, only when you do something for the Divine, you try to relate to the Divine through the plane of creativity.

(7:28)

You can always see throughout the ages in the spiritual histories, not only in Hindu tradition, in all the tradition, the spiritual figures, if you take their lives, if you take and read their backgrounds, the person who build the temple, spending his whole country, he will never be considered as a spiritual figure. But the person who went there and sang ten lines on that Lord, he will become a spiritual figure.

(8:01)

In South India, there are saints who went to the temples. They spent all their lives going around, seeing all the temples, and chanting stotras or singing songs. The person who built the temple, spending his whole life, whole money, whole energy, whole country. He is never considered as a spiritual person. But the person who just visited the temple and sang about the Shiva, sang about that Muruga, few words, few lines is considered as a spiritual figure.

(8:41)

The person who built the church is never cared. But person who prayed, he was always considered as a spiritual figure. So creativity can open the first step for you to the Divine. Then comes ultimately the ego. Of course, through ego you try to relate with the Divine. Two things you need to understand. When I say ego you should understand two things. The very idea ego itself should not be condemned. The way in which you use your ego only in that way, either it should be praised or condemned. The ego itself cannot be condemned. Ramakrishna says, if you have the ego that I am the servant of God, it will never harm anybody. That type of ego can never disturb anybody.

(9:58)

A small story from Bagavatham. You need to understand. Once a saint was living in a forest. His son was also living with him. The saint has gone out to take bath and do meditation. At that time one king came to ashram for the sake of blessing. The son of the Rishi, the son of the saint was staying there. He asked the king, ‘What for you came?’ The king said, ‘I have a skin disease throughout my body. I wanted the blessing of the rishi, sage. So I came here.’ Son said, ‘Chant Krishna's name three times. Chant Krishna's name three times.’ I think it has started chanting. As soon as I told...as soon as I told it has started chanting. ‘Chant Krishna's name three times. Then you will get rid of the disease.’ The king also chanted Krishna, Krishna, Krishna and miraculously the disease has disappeared. He has gone.

(11:38)

In East, the prayer healing is very popular. Of course, just twenty years ago the west has understood: The prayer can do miracles. I read in a book written by the Deepak Chopra. He says, twenty years ago they did a research on hundred patients. They took up hundred patients from different culture and from different background. They did research. How prayer can help a man to come out of his disease. They say all the hundred cases proved, at least fifty to hundred percent. From fifty, minimum of fifty percent, maximum of hundred percent...patients recover from after surgery. From after any surgery or after any problem. Fifty to hundred percent they recover just by prayer. Of course report is amazing. But he says the study has proved the power of prayer on a patient. It is not that the patient and the man who prays should be even related in any way. There are discoveries says one or two amazing things. The patient and the person who prays there is no need even they should have any relationship.

(13:22)

And the third thing, when a man prays in his own system so much of change happens, his immune system gets strengthened. Whenever we pray for somebody, not only he gets healed, your immune system gets strengthened. He says prayer is a journey into Consciousness. Thousands of years ago East knows the truth. Just twenty years ago West has discovered by the research. The scientist, the persons who recorded this research after a much reluctant feeling, after the...what to say...long discus...discussion, even after the long discussion, they were reluctant to publish the report because it is something totally new. How can you simply say a prayer can do so much in the system! But the study says it is true. No other way. Once they published the report then only the prayer has gained very big popularity in the west. Of course now the west also understands, the prayer can do miracles for healing, for recovery of the patients, recovery of anybody. Anyhow the son of the saint, the son of the rishi told the king chant three times Krishna's name and he will be healed. The king chanted and got healed and went away. Father came to him. As soon as the father came to the ashram, son was too proud...too pride by the miracle done by him. He went and told the father. Father, like this the king of this country came. He had a skin disease. I told him chant Krishna's name three times. He chanted. He got healed. The skin disease disappeared. He has gone back to the palace. He will come afterwards to take your blessings. He has gone back. He was too proud, too happy, too joyful that he has performed a big miracle.

(16:02)

As soon as the father heard this, he was totally entered into the mood of anger and he just looked at the son and told, “Fool, what you understood? Only this much you understood in my teachings? For ordinary skin disease you made that fellow to chant Krishna's name three times. Three times, he can cross the whole life. He can become Enlightened. He can go to directly moksha. For ordinary skin disease you made him chant three times. Then what is your understanding about spirituality? Only once is more than enough. If it is a disease, there is no need even for him to chant. You just chant, if he listens that is enough.” And in his mood of anger, he curses the son. You have no faith on Krishna's name and finally the son goes to do more tapas, to understand, to have more faith in Lord's name. And he was sent to the forest to continue his tapas. He cannot be now accepted into the home. Go and do tapas to understand and come.

(17:34)

This story can show even through ego you can relate. The rishi has got solid ego. He is angry. But with a different reason, with a different understanding. The gopis used to tell, the Krishna's beloveds, that even Yama cannot touch us. Even Yama cannot do anything to us. Because we have touched the feet of Divine. We have touched the Lord's feet. When the Krishna's feet touches our head, Brahma's handwriting disappears. They say when the Lord's feet touches, Brahma's handwriting is erased or wiped. It is changed.

(18:27)

The ego will attach to the Divine. Ramakrishna will tell Vidhya Ahankara. The ego of Divine. If you feel you are son of Divine, your being is related to the Divine, the ego also can lead you to the Divine. The next step, it can make you relate with the Divine. Finally the Sahasrara Chakra, the ultimate energy centre, if you understand the emotion, the each emotion I am explaining is related to one one chakra- muladhara-greed, swadhisthana-fear, manipuraka-worry, anahata-attention, vishuddhi-creativity, ajna-ego, the sahasrara-Bliss. Bliss can directly open the gate to the Divine, door to the Divine. Bliss can directly put you into the Divine. When I say Bliss, I mean your being in love. You need to understand, love has got two dimension. Love as a act. And love as a being. Love as a act is a love as you understand. As you understand a normal love. Love as a being is Bliss. Love when it relates with others, it is love. It’s a relationship. When it is by itself, it is Bliss.

Human beings have a total misunderstanding about the body and its connection to Love, Emotion, Mind and Being.
