Tuesday, March 1, 2011 Prayer. Welcome.

In Houston we will create Kalahasti – representation of Kalahasti energy. In Newyork we will create Varanasi – Kasi. As Varanasi stands as the symbol and life style of Eastern culture, Newyork stands as a city that represents western life. We will create all 12 Jyotirlinga kshetras and 54 shakti peetas in the US. I have decided within 12-12-12 there will be at least 108 Dhyanapeetam temples outside India. 126th Patanjali Yoga Sutras, 3rd chapter 20th verse – Nacha tat saalambanam tasya vishayee bhootatvaat! Vivekananda: but not its content that not being the object of the samyama Prabhavananda: but on of its contents becos that is not the object of the samyama Satchitananda: but this does not include the support in the person’s mind.. Osho: thru samyama the image occupying another’s mind can be known. Nacha tat saalambanam tasya vishayee bhootatvaat! Patanjali the extraordinary scientist goes on describing various samyamas not only for you to experience those powers but also to remind you of the sign boards which happen on the way, on the process when you experience when you go through, when you go in, you experience many sign boards. Those sign boards can be an encouraging paths, points or can be an obstruction if you are stuck with it. For ex, you sit in B’lore station and you are going to Delhi. You may continuously see various stations which lead you to Delhi. These scenes can do 2 job to you – 1. It can encourage you and assure you that you are on the track that leads you to Delhi. And 2. Sometime people can be stuck and it can divert them and they can get down anywhere thinking they reached Delhi. Patanjali has amazing respect for life of a seeker. If you are stuck in wrong company and are unable to grow further in your life, your life is being sucked by the owner of the company and you are wasting your life with it. Same way fi you are stuck with wrong Guru also you are wasting your life. Getting stuck with wrong Guru, system or philosophy is the worst thing that can happen to your life. You go on marching, progressing, not being stuck, not being stagnant. The extraordinary compassion of Patanjali is expressed in thisone sutra where he describes beautifully the various process happening through the samyama, through the Samadhi. Being stuck with the wrong system not only is waste of time, it is waste of life which is too costly. A man in whom the pratyagaatmaka chaitanya – the inner awakening, the conscious awakening has happened, his life is too valuable too costly to be wasted. I tell you don’t waste it in unproductivity or idiotic depressing ideas. No. that is not life. It is too costly mistake. When you waste life without being creative and productive especially after Inner awakening it is waste. Patanjali is trying to avoid that wastage thru this sutra. How to find out whether you are with right Guru or wrong Guru? A right Guru will go on continuously pushing you forward. He will never give you that you are done. The real peace is explosion of the mind which asks for peace into piece piece! That is where the real peace happens. what you think as real peace is the tamasic tiredness – chronic fatigue. That is why when life comes in front of you, you want to have a cosy cave. Even your cave is inside my Himalayas, understand! Even if you catch a cave, you don’t understand I am walls of the cave. A real master will go on pushing you! a Samadhi happens in a person whose non-mechanical parts of the brain is alive, active. The mind which asks you for vacation, peace, rest should be blown away. It should explode to piece, piece. A real master will go on pushing you. will not encourage the fatigue and tiredness. He will never run a resort, he will only run a commune. Maybe after his death his disciples can change it to resort. A person who will ask for peace of a resort out of fatigue, tiredness, wanted rest will never be allowed to be in the presence of a living master. The mind which asks for rest and break needs to be broken. That is the break it needs! A real master is a person who goes on pushing you. ability to receive the suffering as prasaadam, poison as nectar – what you think as poison, not real poison, as nectar and stand up with it is what I call tapas! A real master will never let you rest in what you call as peace. What you call as peace is more tamas based, dullness based, depression based, dumbness based. That philosophy can be called as donekyism. No 1000s of ppl follow that philosophy. Actually if you study well, you will see people who follow this philosophy is more than anything else. The problem with donkeyism is it is so beautifully wrapped and label you think you are following some other ism! Real master will go on be reminding you. pl understand, I am all for all the extraordinary experiences and powers you go thru during the samyama process. But I want to remind you continuously don’t stop there. Don’t get down there. Don’t create self sympathy. You have your own drama. This self sympathy creates tremendous fatigue, tiredness, idea of almost you are full. NO. fullfillemnt happens when there is no mind to feel the fulfillment! Peace happens in a space where there is no mind to feel the peace. A basic rule law for enlightenment is continuous expansion! I want all of you to know that Patanjali or any vedic tradition does not speak about enlightenment! Then what are we doing? Enlightenment idea itself is the contribution of Buddha. In vedic tradition we don’t have concept of enlightenment – sravana, manana, nidhi dhyasana – listening, internalizing and expressing. That’s all. Means the expression goes on, on & on. There is no space where the board says – you have arrived. NO. the mind which wants this board disappearing – that spot is what is called as enlightenment. Enlightenment is not destination, it is part of destiny. It is a continuous expansion. When I say this one corner of your mind says will I never have rest then? You will be. When the childishness which you carry in you is broken! The first childish memory which always expects mother’s lap, cosy zone, cannot all this process be done with out this glaring daring light and in a loving way…no. Sunlight has to fall on your face without any window, screen or sun shade. Only then you will wake up. It cannot be done otherwise. If a sun rays comes through a window, through a screen and wakes you up – oh my son! It is 10:30 in the morning. Please wake up! – this does not work! If you are a Vishnu in Yoga sena, yoga nidra, bhoobala may work. But you are soaked in tamas – no bhoobala can work – even earth quake is not working for you! The mind which asks for peace should explode and disappear should become piece, piece which can never be assembled at all. I have seen kids playing with items. They take a whole full item, carry it as one piece and then they will dismantle it and carry all the pieces in a bag! Some kids are more intelligent. They make it into many pieces which cannot be assembled at all. Then they cry loud so that they get sympathy. A real master will never give you this sympathy! Your mind learns this habit that if you impose this self sympathy, you get sympathy. This is an imposed collective delusion that the world gives you. that is why on Monday morning – kids say I have stomach pain, head ache, hand pain. These pains nobody can diagnose. It is very eeasy. When you create suffering on yourself, world gives you attention is one of the worst delusion. That makes you constantly feel asking for peace, settlement, asking for moving away from life. Constantly again & again & again in yoru life breaking that set up which asks for retirement from life – that spot is Enlightenment! Suddenly if you remember – oh God! For last 8 years I never thot of resting or backing off from the way I am doing things in life, means 8 years before you got Enlightenment. Be very clear mind which asks for rest, reminds of fatigue and talks about tiredness will disappear! In vedic tradition, the fear of backing out because the seekers may back out – that fear was the reason why the concept of Enlightenment was never dealt or discussed in elaborate way. Throughout the 108 Upanishads, no where you will find Enlightenment being discussed. NO. You may be shocked and surprised – Vedic tradition – no Enlightenment? The concept itself is different in vedic tradition, there is no Enlightenment, there is only Enlightening! Go on and on and on. At one point a complete disconnection from where you started happens. the personality in which you started, explodes and gets dismantled once for all permanently. It can never be assembled again. In young age, when kids dismantle, a professional can assemble. But if some kids do it, it can never be assembled by anyone. Same way the mind should dismantle in such a way that it can never be assembled even by the worst maya or ignornance. Then you have reached the point of Enlightenment. The point where you have experienced Enlightenment is a non-returnable zone that’s all. That does not mean you have reached the final destination. No. when I say many of my disciples have achieved Enlightenment, they have crossed that non-returnable zone. That’s all. There is no goal to be achieved. The non-returnable zone is crossed! When the levitation happens, when the siddhis express a non-return zone is crossed! Nacha tat saalambanam tasya vishayee bhootatvaat! A very beautiful sutra. It should be again read with along with the last sutra. 2 things you need to understand from this sutra. 1st sacred secret is – by studying the anga lakshanas, doing samyama on it, finding out the mental structure of other person, you will not know the karaana, the source or reason why he created that structure. You will not be able to go beyond a certain reason. May be you will understand in your life also why you created this mental set up. But sometime just eh why alone does not liberate you. Why liberates you to certain level. when you add ‘if not’ the why becomes wife. The liberation does not become that easy. Why alone does not liberate especially if the ‘if’ is added. For example, if you are looking at crossing ignorance it is great. But the moment mind says why did I add this ignorance, if this were not to be, it would have been so great. Why loses power the m oment if comes. The samyama on the anga lakshanas or saamudrika lakshana on the structure of a person and understanding the structure of a mind can help you only upto a certain limit. Knowing the other person’s mind, contents of other person’s mind happens in you when you become silent! Somebody asked me how to find other’s are thinking. I said first know what you are thinking. Most of us, NO – all of us, we don’t even know what we are thinking, but we are too interested to know what others are thinking. If you are settled down and know what you are thinking, you will know what others are thinking. Unfortunately, many times you don’t even know what you are thinking and just the actions are happening! Yesterday one of my ashramite wants to go out to buy some clothes. Night she showed me the clothes and she said we also had ice cream. I said I don’t have any problem, you will not have any firing, any scolding from me. it is nto a big thing. it is not a crime. But for a seeker it is a crime. You know without doing your sadhana, you are not supposed to put it in the mouth. You are in a certain practice and now the practice has experienced the abortion. It is not that 9 months I carried child in my womb, just 2 days before the child got aborted, can I not get back the 9 months life? The moment the practice is aborted, it is over! It is building a certain kind of a mental set up. There are 3 levels. In some level, whatever practice you do, that brings punya, if you dotn do it is ok. In different level, whatever practice you do it you break it, after 5 years if you start, you will start fromw here you stopped. There are some practices you will again start from zero. There are some practices if you break you will lose confidence that you can start again even from zero! Now the problem. What to do? If I scold them what will happen, they will be in depression for 2 days. Then it again became my responsibility. So I said alright better forget about it. There are 4 levels of practice – one level whatever you do, you do – get benefit, benefit.. there is another level there will be benefit, benefit, you stop, you can start where you stopped. 3rd level if you stop, you get back to zero like abortion. In 4th level not only you lose it but you lose confidence to start it again. Master takes you through the 4 levels. First level just do it, do it and get benefit. Next level, do, do and if stop, you can start from the same spot. 3rd level, if you stop, you get back to zero. The 4th level if you stop, you will lose confidence to ever start again. Each lines have their benefits. The 1st line will never have a risk but it is very slow! The 2nd level – not much risk. The 3rd level is high speed and you need to be committed. You will be a full time seeker. The practices given to full time seekers if they break it, they will go back to zero. The responsibility you assume when you want to be a seeker an enlightened being or an extraordinary spiritual energy the responsibility you assume, this is a big crime! Patanjali warns you of this kind of crimes in this sutra. He says when these experiences are added, even them you do not know the Hiranya Garbha from which the whole thing comes out and settles down. So 2 sacred secret you need to understand this sutra – 1. Knowing what is happening in other’s mind is not enough to solve the whole problem. 2. This kind of siddhis can be encouraging or impediments based on your reactions to it. When it happens, be aware, let them be just encouragement for you not an impediment saying you have arrived. There is no ‘you have arrived’ board in your inner zone. There is only non-returnable zone that exists! So go on, go on, go on. Know clearly only the point where you cannot remember the person who started, where you cannot look back at that point you are enlightened. You are expected to reach the point where you do not remember the person who started. That is the spot of enlightenment. That is the space of Jeevanmukti! Now in this sutra Patanjali reminds you about the siddhis – they can be encouraging or impediment. A sign board can be encouraging or some time thinking that you have arrived and get down it can be impediment. It is how you take it. How you respond to it. How you live it. You can use the sign for progress or for false witness. There is a beautiful story happened in Arunachala – shiva appears as jyothi stamba – swayam prakasa a self effulging light shaft. Brahma and Vishnu are seeking the start and end of Shiva– brahma goes up and Vishnu goes down. Brahma sees a flower falling down as he is on the way up. Brahma uses this flower and uses it as false witness to tell shiva that he arrived! I have seen these guys sometime trying to prove to me that they have reached enlightenment. I tell them too late. From the time of Brahma I am seeing this drama! Just like Brahma did not have the intelligence the flower which is coming for false witness itself is from Shiva’s head and Shiva knows where he kept it. Let the mind know no false witness can lead to enlightenment. The problem with Brahma is knowing and thinking that everything is word! How a wealthy guy tries to show that he has achieved fulfillment in life with night parties and cup and sipping, same way the intellectual guys gather and talk among themselves use the power of word and prove to others that they have achieved! The intellectuals will find some flower as a false witness. NO. it does not work. It does not stand. It does not lead anywhere. So understand, the life is for living. When you understand there is no enlightenment, you will achieve enlightenment! When you understand, there is no ‘you have arrived’ board in the inner journey. There is only ‘non returnable zone’ understand this truth and live it! This is the sacred secret you need to imbibe from this sutra. Tomorrow be here to receive one of the unique and greatest gift – eNm – eNmeditation – The day consciousness exploded & created big bang which is beyond the wealth and knowledge is Shiva Raathri. Tomorrow we will be celebrating the Shiva Rathri here. I request all satsangis to gather and invite all friends and family you have. Let us have intense auspicious experience. Blessings!
