Patanjali Yoga Sutras – 119 Altered States of Consciousness Part 2

DATE: Feb 17th 2011

LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram START TIME: DURATION: 56:05 Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam. 00:47 I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees and disciples who are sitting with us around the world in 731 places, in 197 cities, in 25 countries. Oh GOD!! The number is not just growing, it’s exploding! I welcome all of you with my love and respects. 01:20 And many of the ashrams and temples have started joining with two video conferencing. First, Phoenix; yesterday Phoenix joined. I am welcoming Phoenix. Jayesh Bhai welcome! So Los Angeles, Seattle, Ohio, San Jose, Hyderabad are the other cities I am able to see I am seeing on two way. And Los Angeles has an LBP acharya training teachers training starting tomorrow; my blessings to Los Angeles and for LBP Acharya training. 02:14 And I have many messages from many satsang centres; very emotional. One from Atlanta satsang centre which says, "Swamiji's words are really touching our hearts and it’s really it’s really sad to hear the harassment, abusal, false charges are still continuing. Swamiji rightly said that we will fast on March 2nd; if needed, we will fast till death. On behalf of Atlanta centre, I'd like to announce that all devotees here will observe fasting on March 2nd and we will send support letter signed with blood very soon. Let’s all join our hands to destroy negativity for global peace. 03:03 This way, we are getting letters continuously from all corners around the world and this is another one letter from Ma Nithya Sarvabhaktini. I do not know from which centre. They had paduka, they had vibhooti in their padukas in their centre; may be Bangalore. So, hmm hmm.... So they sent a photograph of vibhooti appearing in the padukas. My blessings to the centre! Some more letters are there from many centres who are really sad to see the abusals.

04:03 Today I am continuing on the same sutras; yesterday’s sutras; the 119th sutra, chapter 3rd and 13th verse, one third verse "Altered States of Awareness”. "aetena bhootaindriyeshu dharmalakshana avasthaa parimnama vyakhytaha" I think I read out the translation yesterday. Today I’ll start exploring one dimension of this sutra. 04:49 Yesterday I was revealing one truth related to this sutra. One, when you expand your understanding about the different states of awareness; your fear, greed, joy, everything changes. Naturally, many of the problems which you think as problem, disappears. When the awareness is too clouded, too narrow, it sees even a mustard seed as mountain. 05:40 Please understand. I'll define enlightenment. Enlightenment means, having expanded complete understanding about the cosmos, continuously and ability to maintain that understanding in your muscle memory and bio memory continuously. That’s all. 06:09 I'll give you one example. If you sit and watch some movie which is related to space where they explain in a very detailed and a way very interesting way; Sun, moon, other stars, other galaxies, the whole cosmos. You see that kind of a movie, especially if you see in IMAX theatre for 3 hours, you are completely transported to a different space. 06:46 Suddenly when you come back and understand; Oh! You are coming back to the planet earth and your continent, your country and your state, your city, your village finally the compound where you are staying. You will feel Oh God! Such a huge universe, what are we? Small dust and ants: Human beings, we are fighting for such silly things? 07:29 I always used to feel whenever I land in a flight. When you are there the whole universe, the whole cosmos is there. By the time the flight lands into the compound wall of the airport, you know this useless idiotic system of the state, country, politics, ownership, land. When the aircraft is landing inside the compound, when the compound wall of the airport is growing and growing around you, you just know, GOD! Where was I and where am I? That is exactly I feel whenever I open my eyes. Where was I and where am I? All happens in you is just desha.

08:41 See Patanjali here uses the word, very beautiful word. He uses the word ‘bhoota’. Just you had a understanding about 'bhoota' elements. For that two hours when you saw that IMAX movie or the two hours when you are in the flight you had a broad understanding about elements, that’s all. Just that one understanding has suddenly shifted you to a different space. If you can catch what I am saying you will understand. Two hours if you see some movie related to space and slowly get back to this so called ugly, dirty, third rate, abused reality. That is the truth. The moment you enter, land, the moment air craft lands on the airport, you know your very consciousness is getting into a kind of an ideological prison. Wow!! Now it is this state, this country, these are the law, these are the rule, these are the regulation, this is the way you are supposed to act. 10:45 Poor human beings! If you just have the understanding of an element for only two three hours, how you feel when you come back to this foolishness. Oh God! How nice it will be if I stay there itself. I am giving you one example. I have seen. Whenever, see when the flight is high in the sky, whole thing look like a small dust and you don’t bother who is prime minister, who is president, who is chief minister, who is governor, who is police, who is lawyer, who is judge. 11:40 The moment you land especially slowly when the walls of the airport is seen bigger and bigger, from there if you see actually it looks like a matchsticks arranged. When the matchstick grow to a 10 ft wall and when you come down suddenly you realise Oh God! You are in a large prison. 12:11 Understanding about one element for few hours itself can give such a liberated experience. Then understand all the five important factors: time, element, state, awareness and senses organs; if you understand all these five in a very broad way, then understand the depth of the freedom you will experience. 12:59 A man who never accepts any meditation technique or any ideology related to surrendering or practice, J Krishnamurthy, even he accepts sitting with everyday sunrise and sunset. That is only ritual he promoted his whole life. During sunrise and sunset he asks you to sit and surrender yourself to the whole. It’s a very powerful technique I tell you. Just during sunrise and sunset, sit. You will suddenly feel God! Universe is too big! Your problems are too small. 13:57 The foolish few thousand, few hundred acres you can fence it and have it as yours, yours, yours and the dirty foolish things for which you are wasting your whole life is nothing but small pebbles lying around here and there; the diamond and gold for which you sacrifice your whole life. When you understand life is bigger, broader in these five dimensions; elements, senses organs, nature attributes, time factor, awareness states: In these five even one if you understand, so much of freedom is experienced.

15:24 I am not saying if you understand and experience that freedom, you will dump all this. No. You will give importance to all this how much needed to be given. Not more than that. I am really telling you, it is good to have a kingdom but it is very bad for kingdom to have you. Your inner space is too valuable. 15:52 Yesterday, lady; I don’t know whether lady or male or female sent an email to me. It's kind of an anonymous email where she was criticising why this jewellery, coloured dress, throne? Truth does not need fancy wrapper. 16:18 I wanted her to understand. Truth does not need fancy wrapper but the moment you think this is a fancy wrapper, the truth which I say will not be helpful for you. Just get lost. I am a simple man who likes simple things. Please understand I am a simple man who likes simple things. When I say ‘simple’; the best things is what I like! That’s it. 17:05 And I wanted this FREE???? to know, neither this throne is gold throne nor this cloth is very costly. Actually this cloth is cheaper than the cloth which I used to wear. Am just making fun of her but the truth is this cloth is cheaper than the ordinary cloth. This meter is,This cloth is meter one dollar. The whole dress which I am wearing may be 6 to 7 dollar. That’s all! And surely that lady is wearing much more costly dress than me. I can be sure. If somebody gives 6 dollar, I can give this dress; so only that much worthy. And that lady who wrote the email must be sitting much more costlier sofa than this throne. This whole thing may be costing some 200, 300 dollar. It’s is copper made. It's not golden. But she must be sitting in much more costlier chair than this throne. She must be wearing much more costlier dress than this dress. This looks pretty. Why are you jealous? 18:20 Just because this looks good she thinks it is costly. And even the energy beads which are which I am wearing are simple, ordinary rudraksha with ordinary beads. It looks very pretty because of two things; one because my disciples made with a lot of love, second; I am wearing it!!! And I am very clear about it. It is not that I am hiding. Arey I am showing... 19:16 Today I did not wear because our energy bead in-charge was having some other work, little busy. She did not make anything new so I did not wear today. Anyhow tomorrow I am going to wear. Don’t think I did not wear because lady wrote email. No, no!! And more over our Indian traditional dress, furnitures, jewellery, all these has been abused, defamed, made as out of fashion. So here I am trying not only to tell the truth to the world, I wanted the Indian fancy wrapper to be promoted to the world.

20:11 So I am warning that person, these guys may be the.... you will be really happy if you go to some sad gurus. And I sincerely recommend you find out very soon some sad guru in your life and carry on with your journey. I am going to be sitting in thrones, I am going to wearing Indian energy bead jewelleries; I am going to be wearing Indian clothes, in Indian way. 20:52 Actually the original truth is, all these things are completely cheaper than the any middle class western furniture or many middle class western dress or any middle class western jewellery. That’s the truth. But because it looks pretty, you think it is costly. So you should find out the reason why it looks pretty. Don’t come to the wrong conclusion. So it cannot be just because it is pretty, don’t think it is costly. 21:36 I wanted everyone to know I wanted to solve this problem once for all. I am not only interested in keeping the spiritual sacred truths and sacred secrets alive, I am interested in keeping the Vedic culture, tradition, Vedic way of eating, Vedic way of dressing, Vedic way of sitting, Vedic way of furnitures, Vedic way of living, Vedic way of medicines; I am interested in reviving, keeping everything alive. 22:28 I sincerely recommend and promote all our disciples to use and live as many ways as possible in Vedic way; whether it is our food or dress or jewellery or furniture's, anything. So I am answering this question and attending this problem once for all. 23:04 Understand. Just if in one element if you are liberated how you feel? When you land how you feel bound, in me all through five, in all charac, through all five characteristics I am liberated and I land. How I feel? But still I land just to tell you how it feels up there. 23:40 And these perverted minds which are caught only in the throne, why did you look at the throne? If you are looking at the throne, you are not watching the satsang. No really, many of our disciples at least who are feeling connected to me they don’t look beyond this frame. They don’t even remember, they may be looking at the most the dress, the colour or the jewel because it is inside the frame. Other than that I don’t think anybody is bothered about the throne. If you are bothered about the throne either you are jealous or you are agitated, irritated. 24:26 That old little lady staying in the neighbour house, neighbourhood and screaming and shouting and irritated about anything and everything happening, whether it is raining or shining or snowing she will be irritated and cursing everybody and everything. If you are that kind of person, let God save you. But the problem is when He gives his hand to save you, you will only see the energy bead jewellery and criticise that also. 25:03 So let you save yourself if you can. Because why should I give the hand, if they are not going to hold that and come up, if they are going to use that also to criticize once more? Not only I am wearing, I am telling that person who wrote the email very clearly, I am making enough large quantity of jewels. I am myself sitting and designing also. All my ashramites, bramhacharis, bramhacharinis, everybody is going to wear. 25:54 Unfortunately all these rich Vedic way of life is not promoted with the glamour or charisma. All the people who are charismatic started using all the western things and dumped the eastern things and all the fellows who were using the Indian things, those fellows are almost living in dustbin. They did not have any charisma. So they were not able to add glory to the Indian tradition and culture. So I have decided to build a structure with charisma and promote the Vedic symbols, the Vedic way of life. I have decided not to depend on any other models to promote the Vedic tradition. 27:08 It’s time we promote all Vedic way of life directly. So today I am announcing one important announcement and I am dedicating this announcement and this activity to this person who wrote this email. All our ashrams and temples and satsang centres should have a energy bead jewellery shop. And I declare using energy bead jewellery helps in your levitation, physical healing, mental healing and spiritual enlightenment. 27:56 So I recommend all our devotees, disciples to use as much as possible energy bead jewelleries and the way I am dressing, it is called yoga vastra; this kind of dress and if you can even make this kind of thrones and use in your office. No really. I can do the mass production and start supplying. Arey really I am telling you. In US I have seen all these massage chairs and this that easily cost 2000 dollar 3000 dollar. But this whole chair cost only 200 dollars, not more than 200 dollar and I don’t think in US you will any good chair for 200 dollar. In the US ordinary seat which I am using in many discourses you will see, not the throne, the ordinary seat that has costed 700 dollar. I know just ordinary sofa. And for the 700 dollar I’ll make you bigger golden throne than this. 29:10 Anyhow I am adding golden throne also one more product in energy bead jewellery. We will start producing golden thrones also in mass and supplying. It’s time all you guys in your office have one, one throne. You are all kings! 29:36 Now this lady if she is watching this satsang, just disappear somewhere. What do you guys mean by criticising our way of life? I don’t come and criticise your way of life. Why are you criticising my way of life? So I am telling all our devotees, disciples use energy bead jewellery, wear this kind of Indian way of dressing and sit in golden throne. Let us revive this way of life. 30:23 And I tell you energy bead jewellery, any part you wear that part nadi will be awakened; whether it is on the throat or on the kurma nadi or on the matsya nadi, any nadi. This is kurma nadi. This is matsya nadi. Any nadi you wear that nadi will be awakened. And these thrones you can't.... If you have back pain, sit in this throne for two weeks it will be completely healed because you have to always sit straight, balanced. Sit in this kind of seat. It's 90 degree. Naturally you will not have any back pain, neck pain or any pain. 31:10 I am a person who is sitting for hours and hours and hours. I am telling you, I am promoting and advertising; for so many almost ten to twelve hours I sit a day. Sitting 10 to 12 hours a day I am not having back pain because of this type of thrones. 31:35 So I am promoting this and I will make in mass and start it selling it, sending it to all the countries all over the world. All our acharyas, our disciples, our devotees in your house use this kind of seats and I will make it available just less than 200 dollars. We can do it because it not gold. It is actually a plastic sheet gold painted and stuck in such a way and it looks like gold. And the art work is done and I was also thinking these artists have lost their job because of this modern day furniture’s and this whole art is dead now. Now I wanted to revive it. I wanted to revive this art because it’s handmade. It’s a handicrafts and I will revive this art. 32:28 So I am dedicating this whole department and revival of this art to the person who wrote this email. If she would have kept quiet at least she would have seen only me in the throne. Now she has to see everybody in the throne. It is not fancy wrapper; it is a fashion statement I am giving. 33:10 And I wanted really our way of life, our way of eating; I want all our disciples to learn eating in the hands; eating with the hands. Not using any object between your food and your mouth. Use the hand, feel the food, ‘Annam Bramhmeti’; ‘Food is God’. Sense it, experience it with your hand and then imbibe it. When you touch with your hand and imbibe you are hugging the food. 33:59 First of all they don’t eat fresh food. Somebody packed somewhere and you need to dump it inside to run and do your job. Poor New Yorkers! How they eat? I have seen. While they drive or run, in the between the ears and the shoulder cell phone, in one hand the car, car, in the other hand a sandwich and between thighs hot coffee. And go and hit somebody, get ticket. Not only get ticket when you hit somebody, that hot coffee will spill all over and have some injury also‼ 34:55 We eat in rich way. We sit comfortably, put banana leaf, dump all the fresh food, hot, hot and mix it nicely with hand and do it like a ritual for two and a half hours. And I am proud about it. I am not feeling sad about it and I am not feeling guilty about it. So I sincerely recommend all our disciples, even if you eat only twice a day, eat like this. Sit nicely, comfortably and switch off the cell phone. 35:38 In India still we lock the door when we eat. In Indian villages, see before, till we start eating we keep the door open and wait for any beggars or sadhus to come. That moment we decide yes nobody is there and we decide to eat, see till we start eating we wait if any guests or sadhus are waiting, we call them all inside. Once we decide to eat we lock the door, we sit comfortably and put banana leaf. 36:12 Why the leaf you know? In plate if you put the food you may not be aware and you may be little inactive looking this side that side. If it is on leaf, the food will be constantly flowing out. So in full speed you have to finish it. You have to be completely attending. If you are talking here and there the food would have gone out. To have your attention completely on the food only we have a system of banana leaf. And it is a big art. Unless you are completely aware of the food you can’t eat in banana leaf. 36:54 It’s a technique. And this side you have to play and this side you have to play, that side and you must almost maintain the border boundary. And then kap, kap, kap, kap..It's almost playing with food, living with food. So I wanted from today all our Anna Mandirs to serve in banana leaf, Serve come on. Let’s start. Sit nicely and play with food and eat. That’s the way we eat. 37:41 Our furnitures, our way of life, our jewelleries, everything is so sacred. Everything is connected to spirituality. Understand I am... When you are not enjoying all these things you will start enjoying these foolish ideas like a countries, state, my country, my flat. 38:17 How they are not able to understand this golden throne and these energy bead jewelleries, I am not able to understand. But I don’t criticise you guys. I just keep quiet. “Okay, it is their way of life”. I respect. Why are you guys constantly poking at me; because I keep quiet? Get lost! Give me a break!! 38:58 Even you understand in one element the freedom, you will understand how binding this ordinary world. So, if you understand the freedom in all dimensions and able to retain that in your bio memory; that is what I call enlightenment. Understand this one example, this example. Today try to do this. Watch some movie or some YouTube clip related to space for some one or two hours. When you come back to normal sense or abnormal sense that’s the right word I will use, how you feel? See the difference. If this one element can give so much free feeling, if you are freed in all five, how you will feel? Contemplate on this today. And share this one truth today with at least five people.

40:28 If you have any question or answer or person who understood the idea you shared, bring all three tomorrow for the satsang. Today I am not seeing you guys have done yesterday’s home work. Please understand, the homework is important even for the ashramites. 40:55 Whoever is sitting in the moment, at this moment in satsang is 780 places, in 232 cities in 27 countries, all of you understand this one truth. If you feel the expanded, broad understanding about elements, how you feel liberated when you come down how you feel bound? Just one understanding can give so much of liberated feeing then if you understand the broadness in all five dimensions, what will happen? So this one truth, go round and share, convince at least five people; enrol at least five people for this truth. At least give this, share this truth with five people and enrol them for it. 42:16 And that person who wrote email another one point also she wrote, "I know for sure many people whose mother tongue is English are there around Swamiji. Why is he making again and again the same mistakes in English?”

I wanted her to let her know my English is neither UK English, US English, Indian English; it is my own English!!It is my own language. 

42:50 In Indian languages we have a special word called, ‘asha prayoga'. 'Asha prayoga’, means whatever master utters you cannot find any grammar mistakes in it. Whatever he utters is ultimate. Because I am trying to express which can’t be expressed, so I cannot be using or putting myself to the constraints of the language and the grammar written by the fools who have not seen anything beyond words. 43:45 That is why in Sanskrit, the Sanskrit grammar is created by the people who have seen things beyond words, like Patanjali. He knows, so many are going to see the space beyond words. They should not have the same difficulty which he had. That is why he made a clear rule: Whatever Masters talk is ‘asha prayoga’ means usage of a rishi . So he does come under any grammar rules, regulations; no fault can be found. So I declare not only to that lady to the whole world, whatever I am talking whether it is English, Tamil, Sanskrit or any other language which I speak during kalpatarus, in any other program, all I utter comes under the category of ‘asha prayoga’. The meaning I give is the meaning for it. 44:45 After all you understand what I am saying. That is the purpose of the language. Then what is the other problem? Why should always be the problems of grammar come in? "I say, you listen, you understand. You say, I listen; why grammar"? Arey what for the language? To express what I am trying to express and for you to understand what I am trying to express. That’s all. When the purpose is solved why are you bothered so much about the language? 46:24 It’s like I am pointing towards the moon. This is just a finger pointing to the moon. Look at the moon. Instead they catch my finger and hang on it and some time try to bite. My words are nothing but finger pointing to the moon. Just look at the moon. Why are you wasting your brain, already you have very less and wasting that also into some useless things? 47:07 This is Indian way of speaking. Aaarey I am a small boy from an Indian village. And I am not interested in correcting my accent and I am not interested in correcting my grammar mistakes. I am not interested in teaching English language or reaching out to the high fluent English speaking crowd. Neither they are going to listen to my ideology nor I am interested in convincing them. I am interested in ordinary simple people who are interested in simple truths in the language I am saying like, " I tellu, you undertandu, you tellu, I understandu". The like that mental people are enough for me. If you write once more this kind of email, I'll change my language into, "I tellu, you understandu" I'll start speaking and I’ll set this as a trend. 48:53 Here I am trying to sit and explain some extraordinary things. And I learnt the whole thing in original Sanskrit which is such a complicated language and concept. I am trying my best to put it in a common mans language. And after all you understand. She writes very clearly. In the email I saw very clearly she understands what I am talking. And she put some questions also. That itself shows she is understanding. 49:32 "I tellu, you understandu. You tellu, I understandu, What problemu?" And this is the way we speak English in Indian villages. And I wanted all Indian villagers who studied some engineering and went and settled in US as IT professional, I want all of them to be comfortable with me. And I am not interested in teaching to people...And the whole US only 3 and half percent people speak fluent high quality English. I am catering to a simple ordinary people who mix Spanish and English, English and Telugu, Tamil and English; who live in a simple way like me. I am interested only sharing my truth with them.

50:42 And if somebody knows better English than me, please go and find out your truth from some other sad gurus. They may be speaking 'bettterr Engliss'. And I'll continue to make the same mistakes and more and more mistakes. I think enough for today. Let me come back to the subject. Understand this one truth today. Never ever disrespect Indian tradition, Indian way of dressing, Indian way of eating, Indian way of talking, Indian way of furniture’s. I think this truth you understand. 51:56 Let me come to the spiritual truth. Even if you feel liberated in one element, how you feel? Your whole life fear, problems, anxiety everything has disappeared for those few hours. See when you are watching some movie or experiencing the space, for those few hours your fear, greed, anger, ideas about life everything has disappeared, different. When you come down, problem starts. Ability to retain that freedom where your anger, fear, greed, everything disappears is enlightenment. 52:49 Even if one element if you are liberated, how it becomes different? If you are liberated in all five elements: time, senses, conditions, awareness and elements. Tomorrow I'll give you a detailed step by step technique to be liberated from all these five. Today take this one truth. If you are liberated even in one element how your life is different. Understand that and share this truth at least with five people.

If you get more questions, get back. If you get more answers bring it. If you have more people who are inspired, you must be having. If you are not able to enrol five people for this truth, this truth has not worked on you. Work on it. If you have at least few people who understand this truth, bring them tomorrow. Bring all three to the satsang. I’ll attend all three.

54:16 So I bless you all to achieve, live, experience, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda! Thank you.

Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam. 01:10 I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees, disciples who are sitting with us around the world at this moment in 515 places, in 188 cities, in 22 countries. And many cities are with us in two way connection. I am able to see Ohio, Seattle, San José, Los Angeles, Redondo Beach, Phoenix, Hyderabad. I am able to see all these temples. I welcome all of you. So before entering into the satsang, I remind you all get back to padmasana, or vajrasana or samana mudra. We will start the eN-experience. 02:47 I am continuing on the same 119th sutra in Patanjali's Yoga Sutra; in the third chapter, 13th verse ‘Altered States of Awareness’; ‘parinama awastha’. Today I'll expand on the deeper aspects of these sutras. ‘yetena bhoota indriyeshu dharmalakshana awastha parinaama vyakhyataha’ 03:41 ‘etena bhoota indriyeshu dharmalakshana avasta parinama vyakhyataha’ Let me explain the basic concept; what Patanjali is trying to express through this sutra. When you broaden your understanding, the strategy planning and the technical decisions you make about life drastically changes. That change cognitive shift brings the highest possible liberation in you which expresses as the extraordinary ‘ishwaratva’; leadership qualities in you.

04:59 Please understand. I am translating ‘ishwaratva’ as leadership qualities. In the ashtama siddhis, ‘ishwarartva’ is one siddhi. It is always translated and interpreted as becoming powerful. But I would like translate that word ‘ishwaratva’ as becoming leader. Becoming leader is no way related to powerful or forceful. NO. Just realising by innate nature you are a leader and the extraordinary qualities of leader. 05:55 I wanted to give you the example of Sharada Devi, wife of Ramakrishna. Till the last moment she lived such a simple humble life. Ordinary way of living but she was the leader practically of the largest Hindu missionary organisation; Ramakrishna mission. Till the end, all the major strategic plannings and decisions were taken to her presence. Only with her consent and her blessings all major strategic planning’s were done, all major strategic decisions were taken. I can neither define her as powerful or forceful but just because of her leadership qualities, a non controversial acceptance about her decisions happened in the organisation. 07:27 Ishwaratva means becoming leader. When you expand your understanding, when you broaden your understanding in any area, suddenly you become ishwara. You become leader in that space. Patanjali is trying to give us understanding in five fields. How to become ishwara? Means, a lord, a leader, liberated. 08:14 When everything is under your control, you are liberated from it. For example, if your body is under your control you are liberated from body. Only if you are liberated, you will become leader of the body or body will be under your control. If your mind is under your control, you are liberated from mind. Only if you are liberated from mind, mind will be under your control. Only if you are liberated from emotions only you become higher than emotions, only if emotions are under your control, you can become leader of emotions. In every field how to become leader, how to be liberated? When you have the broad understanding, your strategies change. Your cognition changes, your experience changes. That liberates you. That liberates you. 09:52 One example: Patanjali says here,' indriyeshu': senses. When you have complete understanding about senses, suddenly all your desire, greed for the sensual pleasures and your fear; what will happen if I don’t have sensual pleasures, disappears. You will have a different understanding about sense and sensual pleasures. I am not saying you will throw away all the sense pleasures. No. Same way I am not saying you will indulge in all sense pleasures. NO; neither suppression nor expression. An extraordinary understanding, a cognitive shift will happen when you have understanding about senses. 11:01 Let me enter into that understanding. I will take you step by step into the understanding about senses. See when you are having a very narrow understanding about senses, a little bit of excitement which happens in your eyes when you see some scene or person whom you want to see, you are addicted to it. A little bit of excitement happen in your ears when you listen some sound or words which you wanted to hear which you like, you are addicted to it. A kind of an excitement or feeling you experience in the tongue, when you experience the food which you wanted to eat, you call that as a pleasure; you are addicted to it. 12:02 I know people travel from country to country just to eat the food. Really, I can’t understand. One person came to our satsang when I was in Paris. He was telling me every week he goes to Italy. Of course Paris and Italy is not too far away. But he drives all the way to Italy just to eat particular food. I said, “I can’t understand this”. He made a comment, “Same way I can’t understand why will you go from place to place to talk to people”? Then I said, “Alright you are in a different world, I am in a different world. Let us depart as friends”. People go from place to place just to eat. People go travel from country to country just to hear particular music shows, music programs. 13:25 And the same way a touch, particular touch, particular persons touch, when it excites you, you are addicted to it. When you have very narrow understanding about senses, you are having different kind of greed or fear to that senses. Please understand I am making an important statement. A narrow understanding about senses drastically reduces the kundalini awakening in your bio memory in turn reduces the mitochondria cell energy level and makes your senses dull, but your greed violent, which makes a deep frustration and depression in your life. Narrow understanding is what I will call as caught in the sense pleasures. 14:58 Vedic tradition again and again tells through hundreds of stories, incidents - "suppression is not the way of life". But they go on insisting on vairagya, liberation. It’s a big conflict. How can I not suppress but be liberated? Again and again Krishna is worshiped as a ‘Jagat Guru’; Liberated soul. Thousands of women around Him; ‘vasudevasutam devam kamsachanura mardanam; devaki paramanandam vande krishnam jagat guru’. Bhagvatam sings His glory as Jagat Guru, Master of the universe. Then how he can be a liberated being? Because He had a broad complete understanding about senses. I am only telling, I wanted to make it clear, I only wanted to tell you, have broad understanding about senses like Krishna. 16:56 Let me give you the definition of narrow understanding and broad understanding. Narrow understanding means, thinking when certain object comes in contact with that sense, you experience excitement. The broad understanding, the right understanding, is the awareness which is alive in you being sucked to that sense particularly intensely when those objects come in contact with that sense. 17:46 Please understand. It is because of your awareness rushing towards that sense intensely, you experience the excitement. Not because of the object coming in contact with that sense. I tell you the life awareness which you experience in you in ananda gandha, if it rushes intensely towards any one sense; you will have excitement in that sense for whatever may be the reason. If you know this truth suddenly you will have a broad understanding about senses. Then you know “Oh God! Then just the object coming in contact may not be an immediate necessity, may not be an exact necessity for me to have sensual pleasures”. With this understanding many of your needs and greeds will disappear. Many of your fears will disappear. 19:24 When you have a greed for certain man or woman in your life, you will have fear that he or she may not be in your life forever. After sometime you will have fear he may be there in your life forever!! At one line, at one point the 'may not be' will be fear. May be after sometime, at some point the 'may be' will be the fear. Whether 'may be' creates fear or 'may not be' creates fear, the fear will be there as long as the understanding is narrow, understanding is too shallow. 20:34 Shankara very beautifully explains the initiation with a very powerful example called ‘bramarakitanyaya’. In English if I translate that ‘bramarakitanyaya’ it will be called as 'bee logic'. Bramharikita means when a bee wants to expand its family, it goes and pick ups, picks up few worms and make a small mud shell and keeps the worm inside, worms inside; sits in the entrance entry point, goes on creating intense sound. That sound is mantra diksha, initiation. In that sound the worms will become bee. Just using the sense of sound the bee is able to reproduce. It doesn’t need any other organ for reproduction. 22:02 You may think why I give this example. Please understand I wanted you to know, all your five senses can do the job of all other four senses without the need of other four senses. Your eyes can hear, smell, experience the touch pleasure and taste without the use of ears, nose, tongue and touch. Please understand. I have seen yogis, I have seen yogis physically able to play the other roles of senses through one sense. I am not even asking you to go to the extreme of physically demonstrating. Even if you have the understanding, your understanding fear, greed, about the senses will expand. And make you as a leader. 23:24 See if you can practice Hatha yoga, you will become leader even physically. I have seen my own teacher Raghupati Yogi, he will take a thread and blow the thread just through the eyes. Through the eyes he will release air; inhale and exhale, he will throw the thread. I have seen another one yogi Swami Boova. He was in New York. He was, may be two years before I met him in India, he wrote a beautiful poem about me, “The greatest incarnation in the modern day", a very big poetry. He came all the way to meet me and present that poetry. And when he met me he was more than 107, very strong sturdy stable. The funny part is just through the eyes not only he was able to blow the thread; even the lamp! He lit a lamp and just kept near the eyes and blew it away, through the eyes. 24:46 The ability to use any sense for any purpose; I want you to know any one of your sense can experience any other senses. This is one understanding. Second understanding, all your pleasure is not because of object coming in the contact with the sense but the awareness coming in contact with the sense. 25:20 I wanted all our kids to be trained from the young age in this science of having pleasure by bringing awareness coming in contact with the senses; not just object coming in contact. I can give you the simple technique. Close your whole body with sambhavi mudra. Actually when you use the sambhavi mudra and close the ears, eyes, nose, lip and the cheek, the whole body will be closed; because cheek is the door for touch. That’s why cheek plays such a major role in our romance, love, lust. It’s a door. 26:18 So all five doors when you close it, and bring your awareness to one centre, you will see all five senses will have excitement. Even this roller coasters, why do you think people enjoy? Because when your body is completely twisted made to run through in all directions, suddenly your life energy explodes and gushes to all the senses. That intense gushing causes you kind of a pleasure. That is why people are addicted to that adrenalin, that intense explosion, comes out and felt in the skins like adrenalin. Otherwise why do you think these theme parks have become such a big popularity, popular; modern day teetha kshetras. 27:38 See any country, if you want to know the back bone of the country, find out where largest number of people gather. In India where largest number of people gather? Tirupathi, Varanasi, Rameshwaram. 27:58 Understand, when you bring the understanding, the joy and excitement in the senses is not because of the object coming in contact with them but your attention and awareness coming in contact with them; your understanding about senses expands. Ramana Maharshi puts it very beautifully. A dog trying to chew the dry bone so violently that dry bone pokes in mouth of the dog and from his own mouth the blood is coming but the dog is drinking that blood thinking that it is coming from the dry bone. 28:56 You jump on the senses so violently, so aggressively, the awareness which is coming from your ananda gandha and hitting your senses gives excitement and pleasure; not the object which is coming in contact with the senses. If the object is source of pleasure.....see if you eat three laddoos you feel intense pleasure in the tongue but the sixth or seventh one says, "No. I think now ok". The tenth or eleventh one, "no, no, no enough"! 12th one you feel like escaping. If the object is responsible for sense pleasure why when more and more is added it is not adding joy? 29:59 Same way listening; half an hour you can listen few songs. If the same is repeated, after 2 hours you feel no, no enough. After 3 hours it’s a torture. Sometime even first half an hour is torture that is different. Any sense experience, if object is responsible for the pleasure, when more and more is added it is supposed to expand and continue. Then why it is not happening? Same way a scene after few minutes you feel like, it’s ok, let’s see something else. 30:58 The constant change is required because object is not responsible for the pleasure. It is the subject gushing into the indriyas, into the senses which is responsible for joy. If you imbibe, inculcate this understanding, many of your greed, need, fears related to senses will disappear. You are liberated from senses; Indriya vimukta, you become liberated from senses; indriya vimukta. You become the leader of senses. Actually when you imbibe this understanding and grind inside you so many doors will open and so many understandings will happen. 32:05 A man who lives with a broad understanding about senses his kundalini is awakened and his mitochondria cell energy goes up heavily, he becomes a strong energetic person to enjoy senses or to live the senses or to leave the senses. He will have the complete freedom to enjoy intensely or leave intensely. He can live or leave. Please understand if you have the narrow understanding your kundalini gets suppressed, your mitochondria energy level will be less and you will neither have the power to enjoy and you will have the tremendous violent need to enjoy, which leads to frustration, impotence and everything. It is called vicious circle. We call it tairtriya redas in Sanskrit. If you have the broad understanding about senses, please understand when you imbibe this broad understandings your very thinking will be different. It will not be running towards a superficial sense objects. 33:49 A nun is giving her lessons to all the high school girls who are leaving their school. In the farewell speech she is saying ‘don’t spoil your life just for one hour pleasure’. A long sermon was over. One last row girl raised her hand. The nun was very happy that the sermon was received well and she is raising the hand to clarify her doubts because that girl used to be very notorious and disobedient. Nun was very happy that her sermon was understood and she has transformed; the notorious girl. Girl stood up and asked how do you make it last for one hour? If you understand, understand. 35:01 If you are caught with the narrow understanding of senses, neither you will be able to make it long nor you will be able to get out of the desire to make it long, which leads to frustration. When you have the broad understanding about the senses, first thing you are free from it. Second thing if you decide, you can make it any longer because the source of joy is anandha gandha, eternal. You will just see that you are there forever. Another one important thing; with this broad understanding your kundalini will be intensely awakened; very mitochondria energy level will be awakened. It will be different. You will be in intense joy eternally. Whether you have the other person or not, you will not even bother. You will neither bother to have nor bother to throw away. You will be just there. Having the broad understanding about the senses and because of that kundalini being awakened, neither you feel the need and you have the extraordinary capacity to live this liberated leadership experience is a virtuous circle. This is what we call urtva redas. 36:58 Please understand the vicious circle of neither having energy; you will not have energy but intense violent desire. This cycle is called vicious circle tairtriya redas. You will have extraordinary energy but no desire. This is called urtva redas virtuous circle. Just a cognitive shift in the understanding about sense liberates you from sense and makes you a leader in the level of sense. 37:42 Same way time, Lakshana. If you understand about time; here Patanjali speaks about five aspects. I will deal at least two today. We have dealt indriyeshu indriya then next lakshana time. If you understand…… please understand this important truth. I am revealing a sacred secret about time. Living in present is impossible. We always have a big theory; live in the present that is enlightenment. No. It is impossible. Live in past, present, future; all three put together at a time. That is liberation. Just yesterday I was teaching to my disciples how to conduct satsangs. I told them just make some statement before thinking and after that take one hour to justify it. That is the secret of satsang. Now I made a statement. Now I have to justify. 39:06 Understand, of course I have made a statement without thinking; but it is truth. I have made two statement. Living in the present is impossible. I am challenging all the gurus, sad gurus who go on teaching live in the present moment you will become enlightened and who are giving advices free freely. I wanted all of them to know if you are teaching people to live in the present moment you are making them schizophrenic. I am asking, after all at this moment 1000s of seekers are sitting with me, in front of me; you all would have tried to live in present enough number of times than the number of times you tried to have pleasure through the senses. At least when you try to have pleasure through senses, few seconds you will have pleasure but when you try to live in the present moment, even that few moments you will have the fear when will I lose this present moment. I tell you living in the present moment is the conspiracy created against the humanity to control human beings by these pseudo gurus. 40:50 If a psychiatrist promises you he will cure you he is not only a liar or just hypocrite; he is a criminal. How the psychiatry is built on a false promise people can be cured, there is a big group of pseudo spiritual leaders build their tradition and the philosophy by promising people will be liberated by living in the present moment. No. Living in the present moment is impossible. Come on try. Present moment, present moment, present moment; already it has become past and future. The very idea present moment, one part is already swallowed by past. One part is still coming out of the present. It is like when child comes out of the womb, death is swallowing the child. The mouth of the womb and mouth of the death has no gap. In that gap you are trying to live. No. Then what is liberation? 42:10 Liberation means living in all the three at a time. I am present in my past, in my present, in my future; means all three has become part of me, from me. Means I am the womb from which all three are getting delivered. Please understand if you try to live in present you will have the dent of the past and future in that egg. Just look at this moment, try to be in present. You will have that underlined sorrow you carry from the past under the underlined insecurity you have about future will be there part of this egg. Then how can you hatch enlightenment. Egg from hen cannot hatch horse or tiger. 43:29 Paramartha guru, a great intellectual and goes around the world and gives advice free freely had a great disciple team. One day he said ‘I want a baby elephant, please go and bring it from market’. These guys went there they saw an elephant with mahout and asked ‘we want baby elephant. We are ready to pay any amount, please get us a baby elephant’. By talking few minutes with these fellows the mahout realised these guys are fools. So he said ‘wait; wait, by evening it will lay the eggs, you take the eggs and keep it in your ashram and then after few days the elephant baby elephant will come out of the egg’. So these fools waited, waited, waited. By evening that elephant dropped and all the disciples were very happy seeing the elephant dropping and they started singing and dancing around that drop and they asked the mahout ‘when will the baby elephant come out of it?’ The mahout said ‘you have to take this very carefully and keep it in your ashram and wait for 21 days. Maybe once in a while sit and chant Bhagavad Gita and pray. So when the baby elephant comes out it will also start chanting Bhagavad Gita’. Pregnancy care! And gave all the instructions took 1000 gold coins, sent the disciples teams with a drop of elephant. 45:34 And these great disciples very intelligent carried the drop and kept it in the ashram sat around, started meditating, chanting, contemplating, doing everything. You know after the 21 days what they would have got. They saw few worms coming out of the elephant drop. They thought these worms only will grow and become elephant. They caught hold of all the worms and feeding them. They said oh really now we are going to have now at least 200 elephants. Because 200 worms are there and they waited, waited, waited in the end what they would have got you know. 46:31 The hen’s egg cannot give birth to tiger. At this moment when you try to live in present when you have the deep suffering of past and fear of insecurity embedded inside this egg how can this egg give birth to enlightenment? No! If somebody is saying that live in the present moment you will be enlightened, be very clear he is hypocrite and he has not practiced and achieved enlightenment. Enlightenment happens in you when you live in all three space; past, present and future. How to? 47:17 Just understand time does not exist. Time does not exist. Just think suddenly all the clocks and calendars disappear from the planet earth. What is time? What is this foolishness, BC AD? How do you know it is two hundred and eleven? What is calculation of time? Ultimately time has no sense. The idea is brought to our life for the sake of simple understanding of day to day life’s smooth running. The greatest conspiracy called civilisation has been forced upon the human being who are expecting all of us to wake up at some time and be in certain place at some time. Even we the mystery schools are caught in the time. No other way because you guys are already programmed for it I have to take you only through that and get you out. What is time? So remove all the intellectual understanding and the day to day life of pressure about time on you. 49:17 I know one Swami, Sundananda. His name was Swami Sundananda. He was living in Mangalore. He is a Swami from Ramakrishna order. I can say one of rare gem who managed to get enlightened in spite of being in an organisation. This guy will have 12 clocks in his room and some 40 alarm time pieces. Somebody asked him why and each one will be showing its own time. 12.30, 1.30, two zero, five o clock, six o clock, four o clock. He will say whenever I wanted to have whatever time I will take that clock as the authentic. He says now I want time should be two o clock; I see hmm this clock is right. Now I want time should be seven o clock in the evening, oh this clock is right. 50:29 Time does not exist. What all the bases with which we measure the time. Earth is rotating itself and going around the sun. I want all of you to know it is a lie taught to you by the limited visionary scientists. I am telling you very clearly, sun is going around the earth. No I am going to reveal the truth to you. I am not saying earth is going around the sun. No. It is the lie taught to you by the short visioned scientist who can see only some few thousand galaxies. I tell you from my authority, not only a man, the consciousness who is seeing all galaxies, the consciousness from which all galaxies are coming out and merging; sun is going around the earth. 51:43 Please understand all movements are comparative, all movements are comparative. Just understand imagine, visualise that this is a ball, this is sun and this is planet earth. This (earth) is supposed to be rotating and going around. This is what the scientists are saying. But I tell you they came to this understanding because they take this (earth) as a centre. From this (earth) part they are measuring the movement but I am telling you from the source when you see, not just this (earth) is going around this (sun); this (sun) is also going around this (earth). Because this (sun) going around this (earth) takes billions of years, beyond our comprehension, we insist, emphasize only this (earth) going around this (sun). Understand this (earth) going around this (sun) only can be calculated by these short sighted scientists of NASA, all astronauts, all space scientists; because they can calculate only few billion years. I tell you from the conscious source from where the time and space comes out and goes back; this (sun) is going around this (earth) which takes few more billion years; that’s all. Then where is the question of time being calculated by this (earth) going around this (sun)? No. the very idea with which time is being calculated is a comparative reality. 54:06 So today all of you contemplate this one truth. Sun is going around the earth and I wanted you to convince at least five people about this truth. Sun is going around the earth. Hope all of you understand what I am saying; because we are staying in earth we are able to see only few thousand years; imaginary. We talk only the earth going around the sun but I am telling you, from the source of all movement I am seeing, the sun is going around the earth. Earth is going around the sun but sun is also going around the earth in the whole cosmos. Actually if you want to really measure the time you should take the sun going around the earth as the base scale because in that way you can measure more billions of years. So the right scale of time is supposed to be sun going around the earth not earth going around the sun. 55:41 For teaching the earth going around the sun is teaching superstitions to us; short sightedness. They do not know the science of time. I am challenging them. Sun is going around the earth should be the understanding and base for measuring time. Then you can measure more billions of years. That is the reason the Vedic calendar is the calendar which can measure and calculate largest number of years precisely. Because we look at from the time, we look at the time from the zone beyond time. Kaalaateetaha. We look at that deha from dehatrayaateeta. We look at the time from kaalatrayateeta. So I want you to understand your vision and understanding about time is short sighted. Have broad understanding about time. 57:08 You exist in past, present, future. Please understand I will give you the example of present moment as egg. This has a trace of all your past and all your future and present. If you go on trying to be in the present, avoiding the past and avoiding the future, how are you going to deliver enlightenment? No. It will be an aborted child. Just understand, the past and future is part of you. Sit on the egg. Means remembering the past and future inclusion is present. So whenever a wave comes from the past understand the wave from the past is also coming in present. So don’t hate saying that is past. NO. Understand, just because you already experienced that it does not mean it has become past. It is happening only this moment. 58:51 For example what you call as past, if you are getting the third laddu you call this as a past experience. Oh I already had two. So third is past. No. This laddu is present experience. This sweet is a present experience. If you remember a experience which you had two years before, you think ‘Oh, past is disturbing me’. NO. The thought which you are having at this moment about what happened two years before is not past. It is present. The thought is present. Your idea about future is wrong, short and narrow that is why you constantly struggle to live in present. Even if you are sitting and cherishing or remembering all your glorious past, you are in present; because the remembrance and cherishing happens only in present. Past is a dead screen. In that no scenes can appear. If any scene need to appear you need to have a light of present moment awareness. So when there is a light of present moment awareness how can anything be past? 1:00:15 For example here is a projector. In that projector the light is the present moment, awareness. But the scenes are being shown which happened in 1950. You think ‘Oh! I am seeing a movie related to past. It is not enlightenment’. No. But the awareness through which you are seeing the 1940 movie, that awareness is present. That awareness is this moment. So awareness is beyond time, whether it makes you experience past, present or future. Whatever may be the experience you are having on your inner space, the awareness which is responsible for that is present. That is why I am saying, be inclusive of all three. Do not hate or reject past or future. Be inclusive of all three you will live enlightenment. 1:01:28 Nithya is not living in present; it is living in all three. The large broad understanding about kaala, lakshana, time, liberates you from time. Today you will dedicate whole day meditating on how to be in all three at a time. You see now if you are having a thought about something which has happened two years before, does not mean you are in past. You are in present, knowing your past. If you are sitting and thinking what is going to happen two years after, don’t think you are in future you are thinking about future in present. So you are all inclusive. 1:02:36 Carry this understanding in you like a light, fire. Put this fire on at least five people. If they create doubt in you they have finished off your fire; they have blown your fire. If you create understanding in them, you put the fire in them. Come back tomorrow; either fire and five more people with fire or the blown away, darkness; at least come back. So tomorrow bring either the questions you had when you transacted or answers you got when you transacted or the satsangis you got after you convinced them to the satsanga. 1:03:35 Still I am not getting large number of emails. I think people are not practicing much. Today I will announce a special email id to which I request all of you to do this homework and send the report. Don’t think I am not seeing, I am seeing. So I don’t want this to be just like a some Bhagavada pravachana. Rama came. Sita came. They fell in love, got married and Sita was kidnapped by Ravana. I don’t want you to be just sitting and listening to some stories! No! I want this to be a mystery school where you are taught every day the truths and you work with it. See the big problem is if you are just sitting and not interacting and doing it, it will all just enter this ear and go away through this ear. I don’t want you to have that. 1:04:47 So our people are very sharp; they already created an email id will be the email id. Please send your replies and responses. I want you to work on it. Only the responses and replies I receive, I will consider as satsangis. And I wanted to let you all know if you are everyday working and sending me the reply I will see that you levitate and experience the kundalini awakening within 21 days. I give you the promise. I enrol you in mystery school in my inner space. When I enrol you in mystery school in my inner space naturally the effect on you will be different. You will experience the eN effect straight away whole day. 1:05:43 Go and talk to people; convince them about this truth everyday which I am giving. You will see suddenly the many ideas and understanding which you never got from me verbally, you will get it. You will suddenly download when you share, when you convince others. If you don’t get people, go to the malls; stand there. And have a small board ‘I have a great sacred secret. Are you interested in listening, which can transform your life? Do you have depression? Contact me; I can give you solution for some of your life problems’. Have a small board. Go and stand in front of a mall. Have courage and I tell you it will make you enlightened. 1:06:45 So this one truth, now I want you to sit with this one truth. Sit even if you think about past or future don’t hate yourself, don’t cut; ‘oh I am thinking about past I am thinking about future’. Drop your axe. By using axe you become ox. Drop your axe, stop cutting. Even if you are thinking about past, ‘Oh I am thinking about past in present. I am thinking about future in present. So now I am sitting in all inclusive space. My fears about the future my worries about the past is inclusive of this present moment I am experiencing’. Sit in present just for few minutes; you will experience the great sacred secret Patanjali is revealing in this sutra about time. So the remaining part the bhoota, avastha, dharma, tomorrow we will work on it. 1:08:09 Today one understanding; get back to padmasana, vajrasana or sukhasana. Sit in samana mudra, we will start the eN experience. Let you all become kaalatrayateetaha. Close your eyes, let the kundalini energy be intensely awakened in all of you. Have that intense awareness. Whether it is the past or present or future, you are experiencing in this moment all inclusive. Let the kundalini shakti be intensely awakened in you all. Let you all become kaalatrayateetaha. 1:09:20 Ommmmm shanti shanti shantihi.. I bless you all who are sitting with us around the world at this moment in 668 places in 241 cities in 29 countries. Let all of you achieve, experience, live, express radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you.
