Devotion - Dance Your Way to Divinity: Nithyananda Morning Satsang (12 Nov 2010) Message
Narration
Today's discourse was the last in Paramahamsa Nithyananda's series on the Sacred Sentiments. The subject was devotion, dance your way to believing, dancing your way to divinity. If you are walking you are not walking to divinity. He was very clear; if you are waking you are just dragging your body. Walking is always just towards the graveyard. If you are dancing it is always to divinity. Ramakrishna said very beautifully, "When there are a lot of birds on a tree if you clap your hands standing below the tree, all the birds fly away. Same way if you are clapping your hands and dancing all the karmas in your heart will fly away."
The load you carry in the heart, if you sing and dance, and worship all the load and karmas in your heart will just run away. This is what makes Kirtan, the call and response form of chanting, an important technique for Enlightenment. He went on to read a passage Narada wrote about the different expressions of devotion:
"Hearing about him, singing his praise, remembering him always, attending on him, taking care of him, worshipping him, saluting him, practicing the attitude of servitude to him, devotion, loving intimacy with him and surrendering oneself to him." Paramahamsa Nithyananda was so moved by the passage, he said, "Oh, God. I think he's given a complete, comprehensive description of devotion, or tried to."
He went on to explain that none of these are a technique, whereas kirtan is a technique. By singing and dancing while holding the thought of the Divine, you lock it into your bio memory. Kirtan makes your being light. Carry a light being, and nothing can touch you. He stressed that he was defining character. Character means carrying a light being, nothing else is a character. Carrying a light being is liberation. Only a person who is carrying a light being will be able to sing and dance. Plus, whenever you can, listen to divine music. The process he recommended is for everyone to spend a half-hour a day, 3 to 4 times a week, not a rigid routine, whenever you can sing and dance, your whole being will be a light being. You will not be the soil where the negativity breeds. A brooding mind is a soil for negativity.
Paramahamsa Nithyananda remembered his years on the road as a seeker. He remembers going for hours just singing and dancing and walking for hours and the ecstasy level and bhakti was created and stable. For days and months the experience stays in the system, it is unimaginable; you don't need anything from the outer world. If you just got a taste of this ecstasy. Not only does it create waves of devotion in you, but the nervous system is also so strong, it stays in your bio memory. Tomorrow he begins his discourses on the great Siddha Tradition. He explained that this is the only tradition that was able to create spiritual experiences in people through the use of medicines and herbs. He says this will be one of his great contributions to the world, reviving the great Siddha Tradition.
