Today’s subject, today’s sutra is art of right listening. Listening has been prescribed as a first step in almost all spiritual traditions in the world. Rishis, the oldest spiritual tradition - Vedic tradition, they start with the spirituality with the word “shravana” - listening. Buddhist tradition starts with their... starts the eight steps for Nirvana. First step is right listening. J. Krishnamurti, the modern day Master, goes a step ahead, step further; says, “Right listening is God.” He gives the place of God to right listening.
02:40 What is exactly right listening? Hearing is different. Listening is different. Hearing means sound enters into your ears, gets processed, either it creates fear or greed or different emotions. Listening means... sound enters into your system, and gets absorbed into your system… leads your system from sound to silence. Understand, it’s like almost if the pond is dirty, if you put little lime powder, the lime powder will take the dust and settle on the ground. So in few minutes, the whole pond will be clean. Same way, the right listening is put on chaotic mind, the mind which is full of words, right listening is sprinkled, sprayed like a lime powder; it’ll take away all the dust which is words and thoughts in your mind, and settled down on the ground.
04:29 Right listening means, the sounds which leads you from sound to silence. The right listening can happen when you are ready to listen, with anything. Chirping of the bird can lead you to enlightenment. Sound of bamboo can be the Upanishad mantras. The sound of Ganges can be the Anahata Dhvani. With right listening, everything that echoes in your system, everything that reverberates in your inner space, leads you to silence. Of course, the possibility for right listening, the happening of right listening happens more in the presence of a living Master, an incarnation; who himself has experienced the Anahata Dhvani, the sound which is uncreated in his inner space. Again and again and again, the emphasis on right listening is put. Because, the right listening is an independent intelligence technique which can directly lead you to the higher space and higher reality.
06:59 With the right listening you will understand, the sound waves which reaches your inner space… is deeper than the visions which reaches your inner space. When I say this, I mean, the sounds which you are hearing now, the words which are entering your inner space are more stronger, more truthful, more higher reality than the scenes you are seeing around you. The wax out of which the scenes are created, which you are seeing around you, is of much lower quality than the words which are reaching your inner space. The sound which I am creating now which is reaching your inner space, is more stronger base material to create what do you want than what you are seeing as a scene. As long as you feel what you are seeing is more stronger reality than what you are hearing, you are in illusion - maya. You are hallucinating. The right listening has not yet happen in you. When you feel what you are listening, the words which are entering your inner space is more powerful than the scene you are seeing - the right listening is happening in you.
08:51 Sit with deep awareness, how the words are touching your ears and reverberating your inner space. You will see, the words which are touching your inner space and reverberating, and the reactions created by them, and the space created by them, consciousness happens in you by them, are more higher reality, than, the scenes you are seeing around you. This is what I called art of right listening. Better I use the word “science of right listening.” The word “art” is too much loaded and abused by too many people with too many words. Science of listening. As Rishis described listening in their own way - shravana. Buddha describes right listening. Krishnamurti describes right listening is God. I’ll add my part to the right listening. I’ll give you a powerful process for right listening. Bring your awareness to the Third Eye area, forehead. See very clearly the sounds. Sounds is the right word, not even words.
11:44 Sounds from the Master, how it penetrates your Third Eye? Please understand, sound from Master reaches your system through your Third Eye, not through your ears. Ordinary words which leads you to more and more words reaches you towards your ears. The words which leads you from sound to silence, the sounds which leads you from sound to silence reaches your system through Third Eye. Have your awareness in the Third Eye. See how the words are penetrating, and how they are reverberating, and what kinds of meanings, emotions, experiences they are creating in your system. Just see the whole thing. Seeing the whole thing is listening. Understand, listen through the Third Eye, whatever happens inside, see it. That’s all. It’s a powerful process to listen. Whenever you find time, sit with Master’s discourses, words. Listen through Third Eye, you will have new understanding. By the end of the discourse, you would have been already put in deep silence.
13:51 Never ever listen to a person who creates more thoughts in you. Listen to the words and a person who leads you to the deeper and deeper space of silence, and higher and higher space of realities. The Master’s words come from a frequency where what you are seeing as the world is too small. What you see as the world is illusion in my space. So anything comes from my space and reaches your inner space lead you to the same experience of my space. So any word which comes from this inner space is, enters your inner space, leads you to the same experience of my inner space. Means, this is smaller reality than the sounds created. Sit with this science of right listening, the process of science of right listening - it is enlightenment. I don't want to say it’ll lead you to enlightenment, it is enlightenment.
15:35 What Upanishads calls as shravana, what Buddha calls as samadhi, what J. Krishnamurti calls as right listening is God - I am giving you this process to make all the three as experience into you. My unique contribution to the spiritual tradition is creating processes, sharing the processes with the world to make every truth into experience, reality. So, I’ll add my part to the shravana, samadhi, right listening. This part, the science of listening - sit with your awareness on the Third Eye; listen through the Third Eye and see how the sounds penetrate your system and how it reverberates in your system. What all emotions, experiences, expressions, ripples it creates, and those ripples and emotions and experiences where it leads you - just see. You will experience right listening as rightly said by J. Krishnamurti - God himself.
Let you all live and radiate enlightenment, live and radiate the eternal bliss. Nithyananda. Thank you. 17:27

Less Thoughts More Action - Hurry up to Slow Down

Transcript
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
0.40 I welcome you all with my love and respects. Today’s morning sutra: Less thoughts more action, hurry up to slow down. Less thoughts less action is tamas; inertness. More thoughts more action is rajas; restlessness. Less thoughts more action is satva; living enlightenment.
1.41 Please understand I am equating satva into jeevan mukti, the restful awareness as living enlightenment, because restful awareness is a direct way to living enlightenment. Let me define restful awareness. When you walk, just feel through your body, who is perceiving the earth, who is seeing the scenes. Just see with awareness, feel with awareness the cold, feel with awareness how you respond to this morning, feel with awareness how you are responding to your own, old, boring or worrying thoughts. Such beautiful morning, but suddenly some thought about something, some days before happened, may happen after that, one thought, enough to take away the whole beauty of this morning. Perceive with awareness; the awareness which perceives is only you; nothing else.
3.27 The moment you bring awareness, two things will happen. One, the slowing down, second, this is an important thing, please understand, one, slowing down, second, immediate shift in your consciousness; immediate shift in your consciousness. What I call as cognitive shift, the space where cognition happens in you, the gear gets shifted from matter to consciousness. Actually unclutching is necessary for this shift only. For any gear change, you need disclutching of gear plate and engine; gear box and engine. Same way, for the shift, cognitive shift from the matter to energy; consciousness; you need that unclutching. I tell you, infusing awareness into you, will automatically make unclutching happen and the shift in the cognition; how you perceive; will happen immediately.
5.58 Just live for few days, you will realize, with less thought more actions are happening in you; physically, mentally, in all possible ways. Be aware while you walk, perceive through your eyes, perceive through all other senses. Remember just perceiving is different; knowing that you are perceiving is different. Just taking bath is different; knowing you are taking bath is different. Just walking is different; being aware that you are walking is different. Just talking is different; being aware you are talking is different. Infuse awareness into everything; walking, talking, sitting, living, breathing.
7.23 Shiva says in Shiva sutras, one sneezing with awareness is enough for enlightenment, because during sneezing your whole nervous system gets activated. One sneezing with clear awareness; awareness that you are sneezing; the face muscles are shrinking and all the things are happening and explosion. You are enlightened!!! All you need is one sneezing with awareness that’s all!!! When you infuse awareness this is no more one more day. This is no more one more morning. This is THE morning. This is THE day. I don’t know in how many dimensions you will be awakened. Exactly what I mean by the word inner awakening is, infusing awareness into you. That’s all.
9.34 In Malaysia, one satsang, one devotee put a question, ‘Swamiji, give the essence of your message in Malaysian language, at least one word.’ Thought, Oh God! Just two days before I landed in Malaysia and this guy is asking essence of my message and that also in Malaysian language. But fortunately that day only something happened; very strange incident. When we were driving in the car the side board, all the sign boards are there no, so the person who was driving me, I asked him, what is the meaning of that word which is again and again recurring. He said Swamiji, slow down. So I picked up that word and I said this is my message, ‘korankan laju.’ That’s a Malaysian word. Malaysian word for slow down. So I tell you, in any language essence of my message is this one word, slow down. Hurry up to slow down, otherwise you will be wasting your time without slowing down. If you want to reach the place late, hurry up. If you want to reach the place early, slow down. The essence of life is slowing down.
11.40 Even now, I can very clearly feel, there is nobody in this body, except just a kind of a line of a simple, kind of a ,when you put a mirror, when the sun reflects on the mirror, how it is seen in the air, kind of reflection, see if you put a mirror, the sun reflects in the mirror and it falls on a wall. Between the wall and the mirror in the air, some different color will be seen; that reflection flowing. How thin and indescribable the flow of that reflection, exactly same way I am feeling something is moving, around the area of this body, which is perceiving everything, that is me. I am describing exactly, visually, as I am feeling.
12.50 When you start perceiving, through all the instruments with which you can perceive, including mind, you will exactly feel the same thing; empty. Oh God! Then all my worries, fears, insecurities, greed, no base… no base. That is the truth! That is the truth! Infuse awareness again and again and again, you'll see, less thoughts more action happens immediately. The moment less thoughts have started happening, body and mind will be in different space. Zen living is what I call less thoughts more actions. Zen living will immediately create yogic body and vedic mind. If you have scratched your hair without consciousness, stop! Do it again consciously, see how it feels.
14.29 Try now, consciously move, feel the chillness, see the green, feel the rain drops on the system with which you are perceiving, smell, the smell of the land which rises due to rain, taste the, how the tongue feels when you see the green and smell the land and feel the rain. Perceive, how your mind is reacting to this whole scene, is it interested in perceiving or is it interested in worrying about something about the past or the future, without being bothered about this perception; that’s the sixth sense; it’s called balance. Five senses and whatever can't be classified as that five, is balanced, sixth sense. Like a legal terms, all the rules after they put, they say, whatever is untold, indescribable, unsaid, same way, five senses, major perceptions and sixth whatever can't be described, balance. Just see all this six, how you perceive through all this six, how all this six are perceived.
16.39 Less thoughts more action, less words more awareness. So hurry up to slow down. Let you all live and radiate enlightenment. Live and radiate the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
Thank you. 17.03
