Title

The Science of Beginning (Talks on the Katopanishad)

Description

In today’s morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) continues interpreting the tale of Nachiketa, the child who journeyed to meet Yama Lord of Death. Nachiketa received three boons from Yama, the first being that his father would live in peace, harmony and honor. The second boon the boy requested was to understand the mystery of death in order to help the world. Yama’s description in the Katopanishad is cryptic; today Nithyananda decodes it. Yama describes many worlds, each one having a different beginning time: this is to clarify that the universe is eternal. The real mystery of death is that there is no death! Yama gives instructions on how to travel from world to world, and as a third boon names the travel ritual after Nachiketa himself.

Transcript

I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees, disciples, samajis, satsangees, sitting with around the world 642 places, 47 places in two-way video conferencing having Nayana Deeksha, 278 cities, and 31 countries around the world as per the statistics. Gives cities sitting in two-way receiving Nayana Deeksha.

When you stand by your commitments, it feels so nice, it gives such confidence. If I just want to be an enlightened being, I can afford to just lay around.

But, when I commit with my being to create Nithyananda Sangha, I cannot afford to live without authenticity, responsibility, integrity, and enriching others in every moment.

I don’t feel I’m sacrificing something or bound by some rules. If I did you would see it in my face. Can you see it? Can you see I didn’t sleep? And, yesterday, a seven hour Satsangh, from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m.

I’m so happy I’m honoring my commitments with integrity. That bell is the Victory Bell of Dhyanapeetum and is the death bell of inauthenticity. The moment I hear that bell, I run for my seat.

In the last 14 days, wow, there has been so much transformation. Each person understands their purpose, each one radiates the authenticity of their purpose. I gave such work all night and now I’m just radiating with so much energy. The subject is just radiating in my heart: AUTHENTICITY, AUTHENTICITY, AUTHENTICITY.

I’ve been asked to sit straight so they can use the clip. I don’t feel bad that I am directed, because this can now be used for millions and can enrich millions of lives. Then come on let’s do it!

I’ll start today’s subject for the Satsang: I’ll continue on Authenticity, with the Upanishad.

So, Yama gave the first boon to Nachiketa. Now the next shloka, Nachiketa says:

SANSKRIT verse:

The translation:

“In the realm of heaven there is no fear. Yama you are not there. There is no fear of old age. Being beyond hunger and thirst, being above grief, they rejoice in heaven.”

With this boon, Nachiketa goes to the extreme of finding the solution for the root cause of the problem. God! It’s not that his father was infected with HIV and he goes and asks for medicine just for his father. He takes the medicine for his father and then asks medicine for the whole world. What is the desire of the whole world? What does the world suffer from? Longevity. It is unfortunate that people are so inauthentic with this desire. People want a short cut. They want the body and mind which they know already – to live forever with them.

By the Law of Existence you will live forever but your possessions will not. Your body and mind is your possession but not you. If you want to live forever, grant it immediately. You are eternal. You think, ‘no, no, no,’ I want my possessions to live forever.

People need to understand that your same spouse will be with you forever. Just this knowledge is enough. How many of you want the same spouse forever?

Because you are trying to ask eternity for your possessions forever which is not only impossible but very fortunately impossible.

SANSKRIT verse –

Nachiketa

In the realm of heaven there is no fear.

“In the realm of heaven there is no fear. Yama you are not there. There is no fear of old age. Being beyond hunger and thirst, being above grief, they rejoice in heaven.”

There is a cure for this desire.

His father wanted to live forever but he didn’t want to follow all the rules with the integrity.

I just decided yesterday not to give up on my disciples and see the result? This proves the results. Promise not to give up and you will have the result.

Nachiketa’s father, Vajistra’s was having the deep desire to have immortality. But he’s inauthentic towards the process from which he can achieve this. He was trying to keep his body alive. Even if he had succeeded in his process he would have achieved a few hundred years.

He continues on the next verse:

SANSKRIT verse

Thou knowest oh Death the fire sacrifice that leads to heaven. Tell this to me, I am full of Shraddha, tell this to me. This I beg as my second boon.

When he says this, I am full of Shraddha – means he will use this boon with integrity, with authenticity.

He asks for the science of going beyond this. “Thou knowest oh Lord, the fire sacrifice.” Tell me the science of going to heaven where people are beyond hunger and thirst, beyond grief. This is why he describes this clearly, he wants this heaven, not some other version of heaven. He is very cautious. And he says, “I’m full of Shrada,” I will use it authentically. And, he says, “I beg this as my second boon.”

He floors me by his dedication to enrich others.

Every word I’m uttering is so important, LISTEN.

Shravana, listen as if your life depends on it. And, your life depends on what I’m saying. And, if you listen, you will understand. I’m creating a new word, not just understand, you will wonderstand.

Anything which clicks with your heart immediately, makes music in your heart, sings in your heart, you can’t use the small word, understanding, we need wonderstanding. And, if you receive the kundalini and jump, you get thunderstanding.

So, now it is time for wonderstanding, not just understanding.

LISTEN!

LISTEN!

LISTEN!

When you listen, just by listening you will transform the people who are talking. So many of my disciples are such strong Sannyasis and are such strong beings in their integrity and authenticity but unfortunately they miss LISTENING. I can give so many examples.

Extraordinary integrity and authenticity but still they miss listening.

Understand there are no extraordinary speakers, orators, there are only extraordinary listeners. Extraordinary listeners create extraordinary speakers. If you understand what I am speaking about then you will understand that I am speaking only what I have heard: from the street vendors, from ordinary visitors, from my own disciples – all of these become lessons for me and it is my listening that has made me an orator.

So learn to listen.

I speak what you need because I hear when you speak. Because I listen when you speak, I know what you need and I speak exactly that. I know what I need to speak to transform you because I listen. When I listen I hear what you speak and what you don’t speak but want to speak. That is why many times after reading the letter you have given me because the solution is for many things you wanted to say but did not say.

Beautifully, Nachiketa floors the whole world by his second boon, his second request. At least by the second request he could have asked for enlightenment.

QUOTES VERSE

The next Shloka comes:

Yama is also listening:

SANSKRIT verse..

Yama replied, I know well the fire that leads to heaven. Listen to me, oh Nachiketa this is the means of attaining endless worlds and their support it is hidden in the heart of all beings.

He says, “I’ll tell you, listen to me.”

I’ll give you the science of endless worlds and their support. It is hidden in the hearts of all beings. There is a part of you that is unperishable. Become the part of you which is unperishable which is in your heart. This is the science. The more and more you become subtle the more you are going to live.

The more and more subtle the space in which you live the less deterioration that takes place due to time. Time works on you if you are heavy, solid, physical, in the gross body. It doesn’t work on you the more and more you become subtle. The more subtle you are the less time works on you.

Kala does not work on you when you move the more and more subtle spaces. Kala works on you when you are in more and more gross space.

Time itself is teaching the science to Nachiketa how he may escape from Him.

It’s like the police teaching you how to escape the law or a thief teaching you how to protect your wealth from him. Kala is teaching you how to go beyond time.

Yama beautifully answers, he first very clearly says, “I know well that fire that leads to the realm of heaven.” He says, “yes, I know exactly what you are asking.” And, secondly he says, “I know what I’m telling you.” Third, “listen to me.” Fourth, “know that this is the means of attaining endless worlds and their support. It is hidden in the hearts of all beings.”

The next shloka:

SANSKRIT

This is the tune I heard these verses in from my teacher. From these verses onward, the tune now changes.

Now from the meter becomes different because now it is teaching. Up unto this verse it was story.

Yama told him, the fire sacrifice is the beginning of all the worlds, what bricks, how many, and how laid for the alter. Nachiketa repeated it as it was told to him. Yama was then pleased with him.

All this verse has so much of meaning. When a disciple, a student goes to the teacher, the teacher should assure the disciple, “I will teach you.” So that the disciple does not waste the time with the wrong Guru.

The disciple goes asking what he wants. He specifies his need. Then the Teacher confirms with his being and says Listen to me.

Then he gives the introduction to the knowledge. The importance of the knowledge. He says, “this is the means of attaining endless worlds.” The introduction itself is inspiring. The teacher removes the fear in the heart of the student and says, “it’s not difficult, it’s hidden in the heart of all beings.”

He first asserts, “I know well, that fire which leads to the realm of heaven, which you asked as per your definition. Second, “I’ll tell it to you.” Don’t have doubt, I may hide a little bit and not tell it to you.

He assures you, “I’ll teach you. I’m not going to keep that as a secret from you. I’ll share it with you.” He says this is the means of attaining endless worlds and their support and he removes the doubt from his heart, and says, to Nachiketa, it’s not difficult, it’s in the heart of all beings.”

Yama then told him the sacrifice of fire: “the beginning of all the worlds.” What does this mean? The beginning of all the worlds? Until you understand this you will not know how to be endless. If you want to be endless, you have to know the beginning. You need to know the science of beginning. Please understand anything that you can calculate with your logic – by physical maturity, before physical maturity, your logic will take a quantum leap at the moment you mature.

That is why in the Gurukul we have only two groups.

Knows as Balaka and Yuva - those who are not physically mature and those who are physically mature.

I’ve decided to take the responsibility for everyone’s inauthenticity. When you are tired, you are asked to take a cup of tea. If it is Satsang they are asked to go get a tea. In the office, I’ll keep it on the desk.

If you can’t imagine the beginning of something then you can’t imagine the end.

That is why Yama is saying, “the beginning of endless worlds.”

The fire alter is the cosmic airport. The airport’s direction, the way the altar needs to be built, everything was taught by Yama to Nachiketa. The Upanishad said Nachiketa repeated all as it was told to him.

SANSKRIT

Then Yama being pleased with him. When you get a student like Nachiketa, I’m 100% sure you will be pleased. Understand the Fire Sacrifice, all these worlds are different frequencies, these different mantras with the fire alters your frequency to the next world. How the alter is laid is very important.

I commit with you guys authentically with integrity, I will reveal the science of how from the fire how Meenakshi walked out as a child. I’ll do it, it’s possible, it’s there in the biomemory, I just need to open it. It may take a little time. Once I create the disciples who are able to listen I’ll do it.

Nachiketa repeated all as it was told to him. Then Yama being pleased with him again, said,

SANSKRIT SUNG BY SWAMIJI

That great soul, Mahatma word, the oldest recording of the Mahatma word is in this Upanishad, Mahatma, Yama, being well pleased said to Nachiketa, “I give you now another boon, this fire sacrifice shall be named after you. Take also this garland of flowers.”

The idea of naming inventions after a person began with this Upanishad.

Because Nachiketa was responsible for getting this science out of Yama for the world, then let your name be there for this ritual. Let this science be named after you. If you are not getting any bonus from the teacher, you are not the right student. Not because of the lack of bonuses from the teacher but from the deficiency of the student. The boons given to the students are given because of their efficiency and their ability to learn.
