Seek The Truth With Love And Patience

Description:

Today’s (29th April, 2015) Nithya Satsang on Ishavasya Upanishad in Living Advaita Series. Paramahamsa Nithyananda intercepts into the context of verse 10, by which Upanishad Rishis are divulging the subtle difference between ‘grasping’ and ‘grabbing’ the truth; through the ‘context’ and ‘act’. Only by constantly keeping your seeking alive, makes you grasp the Truth by approaching world, God, Guru and yourself with tremendous love and patience and not grab them by keeping a result, agitation and fear and greed in mind. He stresses the context of any action is key to seeking. When Enlightenment is not the first priority, then it is not true seeking and that religion is only a socio-political cult, which grabs the truth.

Today we are celebrating the 9th day of The Brahmotsavam where we are celebrating the Devi's Digvijaya. She goes around all the ten directions and conquers all the fourteen worlds - Bhur, Bhuvah, Tapah, Satya, Vaikunta, Kailaasa - all the fourteen Worlds she conquers. She actually conquers Kailaasa, other than Mahadeva. Except Mahadeva, the whole Kailaasa has come under her control, so even Nandi was not able to handle her, Nandi gave up. She was almost about to conquer the whole Kailaasa, Mahadeva stood in front of her and immediately she fell in love with Mahadeva and she realized her identity that she is Devi, not just one queen. It is because she is Devi she conquered all the fourteen Worlds. And Her Avataric mission was realized by her. Then Mahadeva smiles at her and says, "Alright, go back to Madurai. I'll come there and marry you". Because of Mahadeva's assurance she comes back and the Digvijaya is celebrated today. Devi is Gracing on Swarna Naga Vahana - The golden snake vehicle which is embodiment of Kundalini Shakti. Let's receive Her Grace Mahadeva is also Gracing in Sarvalankara. Evening we will be having Digvijayam.

5:34

With this I will move tenth verse of the Isavasya Upanishad. Please recite along with me.

anyad evāhur vidyayā-anyad āhur avidyayā |

iti śuśruma dhīrāṇaṁ ye nastad vicacakṣire ||

I will read out the translation.

It is said by Vidya, the knowledge cognized from the right context of grasping the Truth, Consciousness and the superficial knowledge acquired from the wrong context of grabbing without cognizing the subtle Truths, certainly a different result is achieved. Similarly it is said that by Avidya the authentic actions and the ignorant actions a very different result is achieved. Thus have we listened from those wise beings who have explained that absolute principle to us.

Listen.

anyad evāhur vidyayā-anyad āhur avidyayā |

iti śuśruma dhīrāṇaṁ ye nastad vicacakṣire ||

Constantly keeping your seeking alive makes you grasp the Truth, you will not try to grab them. Understand, for example you see somebody melting down, overflowing, with that melting devotion offers a Bilva leaf to Mahadeva and he is liberated. You see that and then you also decide, Yes, if I pluck that tree, leaf and put it on this statue I will have liberation. That is what is grabbing the Truth. Understand, you are not grasping it, you are grabbing it. You only see the action.

8:20

You don't see the context. So you see everyone sitting in that Padmasana (lotus) posture and chanting, "AUUUMMM" and all the Rishis are enlightened. Immediately you also think, let me sit and do "Ahhhhhhhh". That is only grabbing the Truth, not grasping.

Grasping means understanding the context. All the problems everyone faces in the life is trying to grasp, not ...sorry, trying to grab not to grasp. If you try to grasp the Truth, you will have the approach of Love towards the Truth. Don't have the approach of result towards the Truth. "Alright, this is what I want. You want to say that I will have sit to chant "AUM", Ok I will do. How many hours I have to do?" It is not a bank account. Twenty thousand times you chant—Shiva, Shiva—and put it in the bank account and Mahadeva has to appear and give you, what you want. No, most of the time you try to only grab. You are asking give the set of rules, standard instructions, give. I will do that. If I can't what should I do, give the plan B, plan C.

10:12

And understand, all the religions which caters to your mind, which tries grab the Truth, the Religions which tries to cater to your mind, which grabs the Truth, which does not have patience to grasp, they only give a set of rules, finally evolve into a socio-political cult. Anything other than Enlightenment, even the pleasure and luxury which is the side effect during the Enlightenment process. In Hinduism, even the pleasures and luxury happens is side effect happens when you are travelling towards Enlightenment. Anything other than Enlightenment is put as a priority, that tradition is not a Religion. Be un.. very clear. It is a socio-political cult. All socio-political cults try to cater to the human beings who try to grab the Truth not grasp. For grasping the Truth you need completely different space where seeking, tremendous seeking becomes the first priority. Understand, when you are trying to grasp the Truth you will look in, "Wow! How can this simple act - he goes and plucks one Bilva leaf from a tree, Bilva tree and offers it on a statue, how can such a simple act liberate him? Why is he so blissful? Why is he in ecstasy? If you approach the happening with tremendous love, you will grasp the Truth. You will grasp the Truth. You will understand something more than the action is happening.

12:38

He is having a different context, altogether. He is having a different context, altogether. He is having some higher possibilities opening up to him. The body may be doing the simple action of plucking a leaf and putting it on the deity, but the context behind the action is something different. You will understand that. Only when you approach the happening with tremendous love to grasp it. If you try to put everything in a frame and come to a conclusion, you will only try to grab it. That is why one of the great Masters of the modern day Unjaji Maharaj, a disciple of Bhagawan Ramana Maharshi or I can say follower...because Ramana Maharshi never initiated anybody formally. He says, "I neither have a Guru nor have a disciple". So he never accepted anybody as a disciple formally. So a follower of Ramana Maharshi, he beautifully describes to his disciples. Some of his disciples ask, "You say Enlightened Beings don't have karma, what about your body movements and all that". Unjaji says, "who says I'm moving, I'm not". They said, "No, you are talking to us". He says, "No, because you expect I should be talking, you get the response I'm talking. Otherwise I am not doing anything". He disowns the responsibility of the very action he is doing, by that very action. By talking he declares he is not talking, and he is true. He is true.

15:25

Because whatever agitation needs to happen in you to talk, is not happening in him. So if you approach his talking from the context of love and understanding, trying to grasp what is happening, you will understand he is not talking. If you approach a Master without patience, trying to frame Him into your mold, your frame, trying to grab Him as you want, you will say, "What is there, he is also doing everything like me", you will only be grabbing the Truth. You won't be grasping. Approaching the world, approaching God, approaching Guru, approaching yourself with tremendous love, patience and the context of grasping the Truth is Seeking. Approaching everything with tremendous love and patience from the context of knowing the Truth, wanting to know the Truth is grasping, seeking. If you are approaching the Truth with the mood of grabbing, framing it, making it as a utility value, you are trying to make a frame out of life. Soon you will be tired and bored.

17:53

Understand, approaching God, Guru, Life, yourself, everything with tremendous love and patience to know the context, to grasp the Truth about it, is seeking.

I am defining Seeking.

Seeking means approaching you, approaching God, approaching World, approaching Guru, everything, with tremendous love and patience, passiveness.

Try to grasp what it is, with the world, have patience, love. Try to grasp what it is. Don't try to frame. Don't try to relate with agitation. With God, approach It with tremendous love and patience. Don't enter into with... don't enter into Him with the fear or a greed or agitated mood. To Guru, try to approach with tremendous patience, love and see.

19:29

Try to grasp what IS, not try to grab or put Himself in a frame as you want. And even about yourself, try to approach with tremendous patience, tremendous patience. What you need to achieve, what you want to do, what your plans and visions are, when they are becoming real day by day, when you are realizing them day by day, celebrate it. Approach yourself with tremendous love, patience, not with agitation taking yourself for granted, taking yourself for granted. Understand,

anyad evāhur vidyayā-anyad āhur avidyayā |

iti śuśruma dhīrāṇaṁ ye nastad vicacakṣire ||

Again and again understanding the context and trying to grasp the subtlest Truth of everything is Seeking. Seeking means approaching everything with tremendous love and patience and try to grasp the Truth and the context, not grab, without cognizing the subtle Truth, not grab.

21:20

Develop seeking, keep your seeking alive, reinvent yourself with your seeking. restrategize yourself with seeking. That is the basic Truth this verse of Upanishads want to describe. Today's subject for Vaakyartha Sadas again — Seeking, seeking, seeking, seeking. How to approach with love and patience—the World, God and Guru. What is the difference between grasping and grabbing. This is the subject for today's Vakyartha Sadas. Listen, difference between grasping and grabbing.

I Bless you all. Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, Enriching, Causing, Living Advaita, the Eternal Bliss, Nithyananda.

Thank you! Be Blissful!

Researches

Whole-Brain Activation Studies on Nithyananda GurukulSM Students Overview of test-taking behaviour It Is very important to document the way in which the student approaches this test, because (according to the testing protocol) it reflects the way the student approaches life itself. ♦ Students consistently avoided complaining and approached each event with composure and alertness. ♦ They exhibited extremely meticulous precision in transposing the Gestalt forms. ♦ They consistently took much more than the average amount of time to transpose the Gestalt. On the average, it took a total of two hours per student: one hour to copy all twelve Gestalt forms, and one hour to recall them. ♦ If an examinee takes a large amount of time to complete the geometric figures, it demonstrates a methodical approach to tasks, low compulsive tendencies, and low symptoms of depression. In the modern world, delayed gratification is considered one of the highest assets of an employee. The observed ability of delayed gratification was the most impressive result of the Bender Gestalt II test. ♦ The other outstanding attribute in Bender Gestalt II results was the superior memory ability of students. It is very unusual for students to remember such a high number of Gestalt forms. Each gurukul student attended to the test card carefully, and persistently transposed the Gestalt form; remaining calm, cool and collected. They initially approached each Gestalt form with keen observation and analysis of the form, and then exhibited steady perseverance, attending to minute details. ♦ The students appeared to be in the deep state of restful awareness as they performed the memory recall aspect. They showed no signs of confusion, neither were they conflicted nor agitated. They consistently exhibited the presence of mind. Because of their deep ease, the clarity of their memory was obvious. These impressions indicate strong mental stability, persistence, attention to detail, high motivation and emotional maturity. The superior level of precision is evident in the high percentile ranking scores listed in the tables.
