Sadāshiva samārambām shankarācharya madhyamām Asmadācharya paryanthām vande guru paramparām.

I welcome you all with My love and respects. First, few words to introduce the program. Let me first translate the word: “Nithyananda Spurana.” “Nithyananda” means the eternal bliss - “Spurana” means constantly overflowing. From time immemorial one group of people, who happened on the planet Earth, again and again, not only saying, emphasizing, emphatically saying, “Life is Bliss.” The life energy which happened in you, the energy because of which you are breathing - you are inhaling and exhaling is bliss. The source which is operating your body is bliss.

(02:14)

The problem is - is a too small group, that is why the problem starts. People are claiming, who are talking, that life is bliss - the source of energy - the energy which is moving your body is bliss; is too small number - not even 1% maybe 0.000001%. One Buddha - one Krishna - one Jesus - one Shiva - one Mahaveera - one Chaitanya - one Ramakrishna; rare beings.

(03:03)

Some human beings who are interested, and who are little intuitiv - they start following these Masters, these beings. Some guys who are inquiring, sportive, they try to play with their teachings, words. Some guys who are antagonistic, they try their best to destroy their bliss or their claim. This is what is happening from time immemorial.

(03:43)

One important thing we need to understand - but nobody is able to reject their words; altogether. Nobody is able to reject, nobody is able to say, “These guys are liars,” because the power of their words or the charisma of their personality, or the strength of their being - you can’t reject them. Either you accept or you fight. You can’t forget them - that’s big problem.

(04:18)

With the Masters, you can’t reject them because the power of their words is so strong - you will not be able to rest. You will not be able to relax, unless you say 'yes' or 'no'. If you have to relax, either you have to say 'yes' or you have to altogether reject; say 'no'.

(04:49)

From time immemorial one group is continuously saying, "Life is bliss, life is bliss - the very source which makes you function, which makes you alive, which runs your system is bliss, is energy." But 99.999% of the people - for them it is not experience. There’s a big gap - there’s a very big gap. The Masters words and your so-called reality - there’s a big gap. Where is the gap? Why there is gap? How we can bridge the gap?

(05:45)

Where is the gap is the first question. Why there is gap, second question. Third, how to bridge the gap. That’s all we are going to experience in these three days. As I told you, you can’t reject their words. If we can reject their words, you can just put the - put their words in the dustbin and rest. We are not able to because it is so powerful - so inviting. Apart from that, the very life they radiate is such an ecstatic life - such joy. You can’t avoid. You can’t forget.

(06:46)

Then - there were hundreds of incidents - when they come and met Me for the first time and go out. Either they have to say some strong positive words, or they have to say some strong negative words - no other way. They just can’t brush Me away. Because the inner space will be penetrated which such a strong energy. If their inner space is light and open - welcoming, it will be a strong, positive experience. If it is too tight, too much is already there in the inner space; arrogant, egoistic - too much solid, there is no liquidity inside their inner being, then anything - everything I do will be repelled or resisting. I have seen people just flowering seeing this statue, and people just resisting seeing this statue - but the statue is same. It is there. I do have a purpose. I play some of My own games with those things.

(08:17)

Anyhow, if I have to give the essence - again and again Enlightened beings are happening in the planet Earth and claiming life is bliss, life is bliss, life is bliss, and it is joy; the very source of your breathing, the very source of your thinking, the very source of your very presence is bliss. The very source is bliss and joy and energy. But majority, I can say almost everybody - 99%, the experience is opposite. They don’t feel it is bliss, they don’t feel it is joy. They feel: sharira - rogamaya, mana - sohamaya, anma - duḥkhamaya. Body is filled with disease, mind is filled with depression, the being is filled with illusions. Why the Master's words are not our experiences? Where is the problem? Why the problem and how we can solve the problem?

(09:58)

Please understand. The whole program is experiential. I am not going to give you more words. In India, the problem is not not knowing; too much knowing. You all know too much - actually, any one of you will speak much better philosophy than Me. In India - in India, all you need is just go to the tea shop, village tea shop - you will listen the greatest Vedantic truths. But not from experience, that has not become experience. To tell you honestly, I run a university because of that I am telling you even a doctorate philosopher in the West will not know that much - a farmer, Indian villager - Indian village farmer, he knows so much philosophy. So I am not going to teach you some philosophy.

(10:53)

I am not here to teach you some philosophy. The whole thing I am trying to do in this four days is to give you at least one glimpse of what I call 'choiceless awareness' or 'thoughtless awareness'. The 'choiceless awareness' word is Krishnamurthy’s word. Maybe, I have my own brand. The glimpse of Enlightenment or the glimpse of Nithyananda - means at least one moment where you don’t have thoughts but pure awareness where you exist without thinking, where you exist without planning, where you exist without what you think as you. As on now you have an idea about you - the moment you remember you, you know - you are this, you are that, you are that. Some way, you have an idea about you. If you can exist without that idea, suddenly you will see, all the fears disappear, all the desires disappear, all problems associated to you disappears.

(12:26)

People ask me, “When will I become Swami?” “When I will I become sanyasi for all my desires disappear?” I don’t say you will become sanyasi or all those things. I can say you will be a new being with the psychological revolution. Your way of thinking, way of living, way of dealing yourself and the world will become different. That is what I expect to achieve through this four days. Usually, I start the evening - it will be three-and-half day session only. First time I started morning, itself because I wanted to spend more time with you this time. That is the reason started early morning.

(13:18)

These four days, all I am trying to do - at least one glimpse, at least one moment because even one glimpse of that Consciousness awareness, one glimpse of thoughtless awareness is more than enough for you to have a psychological revolution. What I call - I used a different word: 'Jivanmukti' or 'Living Enlightenment'. The Sanskrit word 'Jivanmukti' is too big word because it is loaded with too much of meaning. So I use the word 'Living Enlightenment'.

(14:04)

Let Me describe exactly what I mean by the word 'Living Enlightenment'. All of us have too much of knowledge, too much of words - it’s not that we don’t know what to do - we know, we only say that, "I am not able to do - I am not able to do.” If you don’t even know what to do, then I don’t think you will be able to be living. You exist, you are alive, you lived for so many years - this is enough proof you know what to do. The problems happen to face because you are not able to do what you know as right. In these four days all I am trying to do is to give you an experience which will give you the a very solid glimpse - solid truth, so that your being automatically starts using all the great truths in your life.

(15:27)

What I call 'shaastra shastras' - 'knowledge weapons'. You do have enough of knowledge weapons in your being. You have collected so much but only one thing, the courage to use the - the courage to use them. All I am trying to do in these four days is to give you the glimpse so that you will have the courage to use them in your life. Using the knowledge weapons continuously, and keeping yourself in a balanced, cool, relaxed state is what I call 'Living Enlightenment'.

(16:10)

Please understand. You can only bring peace to your being, bliss will happen by itself. You cannot bring bliss - you cannot bring bliss, you can bring only peace. If you try to bring bliss, you will only try to excite yourself. Trying to excite yourself, whether it is a - with a external help or internal help is not spirituality. I have seen people trying to excite themself, with external help - means addiction, drinking, smoking, all those things - with internal help - some fantasy, some visualization, some ideas. Even those things, even those methods, techniques are not going to be helpful, are not going to be permanent, are not going to be really helping you. So let it be very clear, you can bring only peace to your being, silence to your being. Bliss will happen, it just will explode, it will just happen.

(17:37)

Now let's enter into the program or the truth behind this whole program. I was saying that the whole program is all about these three questions: where is the problem? why there’s a problem? how to solve? Exactly, if I have to pinpoint the difference or the gap between you and the Enlightened being. Sometime, people ask me, “I don’t want Enlightenment - I just want health and bliss.” I tell them, that is what I mean with the different words - that’s all. Health and bliss and all is a cheap side effects. Understand. It is a very cheap side effects of Enlightenment. Because you don’t understand that word or it does not become very achievable - you do not have that word, idea that it is achievable; I have to use different words like a 'health', 'bliss', all these things.

(19:01)

But I tell you an important thing, coming here for health or bliss or it’s okay - nothing wrong but I feel meditation has much more deeper things to offer to you than ordinary health and simple things - the physical health or mental health. Meditation is not just anacin or metacin - it has its own scientific taste - much more of that. Getting health, mental health through meditation is perfectly alright - nothing wrong; Okay. But don’t reduce meditation just to anacin or metacin - it has its own sanctity; much more deeper than that. Because you think it is not achievable, I have to use that branding that name, 'have wealth' - 'have bliss'.

Inspiration or Initiation? || NSP || 4 January 2008

Description

Name of Convention: Nithyananda Spurana Title: Inspiration or Initiation? Session on: Experiencing the Bliss Date: 04 January 2008 Venue: Adi Kailasa, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

In this video, Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism HDH #Nithyananda Paramashivam explains what it is that prevents human beings to experience the same Bliss that an Enlightened Master experiences. What is it that stops us from experiencing this energy that is inherent to our being? Furthermore, His Divine Holiness shares the difference between “portable knowledge” (understanding) and “non-portable experience’, which can be transferred by an Enlightened Master by sitting in His presence. HDH Nithyananda Paramashivam offers both in this convention.

Transcript

(00:16)

The gap between you and an Enlightened master - gap between you and an Enlightened being - I can say one word: 'samskaras' - 'engraved memories'. Please understand. This word I am going to use, again and again in the next four days - so better you understand this word now itself, very clearly. Samskaras - engraved memories; means the words, thoughts, or ideas which gets in your head and makes you go through that same experience again and again even if you don’t want, is what I call samskaras, engraved memories.

(01:18)

I want to tell you one more important thing - of late I am facing an important problem, very big problem - people finish seeing all my discourses in Youtube or DVD, books - they finish everything and then come here, for just experience. That’s one kind of group. The other group, first time coming inside. So for the people who already read, studied, all my Youtube discourses and books - some concepts may be repetitive. Even when I talk here, when I describe samskara, I will not describe once and leave it - I will tell at least four, five times; the same concept from four, five angles.

(02:05)

Please understand. This is for the sake of newcomers. I do have some people who have not read any book or watched the discourse - so I have to start from the scratch. Earlier I didn’t have this problem because everybody will be new. Nobody will feel bored. Now the mix of crowd has started coming. Youtube has created a big problem. It has brought many people, that is true, and it has brought Me boredom also, sometime, in the classes. Because many things which I am expressing you’ would have already heard from the discourses.

(02:49)

I can tell you one important thing, whatever is said and done, hearing from the teaching materials is different and hearing from the Master's very being is totally different. So don’t even think you know all these ideas already. Just sit, with the beginner's mind. I can tell you these words can directly click with your being. It can just suddenly click. Suddenly you will see, “God, yes! This is what I always thought but He said it.” It will just click - your eyes will light. That click is what I call initiation. If some words comes from the Masters' very being and penetrates your very being, that connection, that click, is what I call initiation.

(03:56)

Initiation does not mean some words which neither you understand nor He understands - uttering that in your, inside your ears, no. Something comes from the being and penetrates your being and suddenly you know, you are going to live this truth - without doubt. You will not even have idea, "How will I execute this? How will I live this? Will I be able to live this great idea?" No, simply you know you are going to live it - it is yours. Any word which is Mine, which is My experience - if it penetrates your being and if it become - becomes yours - it is initiation. My property becoming your property is initiation.

(04:55)

Understand. Initiations will happen only in the presence. Understandings will happen through media, through YouTube or through books - understandings will happen; inspiration can happen. When you read a book, suddenly things click with you and you close the book and keep it down and start contemplating. Inspiration will happen, understandings will happen, but never initiation. Initiation needs presence. So, even if you have heard - in Singapore Airlines they will tell, “Please watch this security video even if you have watched already, earlier.” Even if you have heard, through the YouTube or books - YouTube has rated as a most watched Gur in - of course, that has brought some good things and some bad things.

(06:04)

Because sometimes if I tell some small stories or jokes, nobody is laughing because they already heard ten times in the YouTube. And now big problem I have to collect continuously new, new stories. And it has become like a homework for Me. Earlier whatever I read or heard hear and there - if I tell that is enough. Now the people have mastered Me. What to do? It’s a big homework, before coming to the session I have to sit and go through some jokes book and stories to tell something new. Otherwise, people are just, “Ah we know it, keep it.” They become juice, not Jews, juice. Please put up with my pronunciation also.

(06:57)

I have my own English. Because I did not learn formally, fortunately. Fortunately, I did not learn formally so I keep my own accent and my own - and fortunately I learnt the language at a time where people have stopped judging Me. See, once you become an Enlightened being naturally people don’t judge you based on the language and all. And so I keep My own unique purity of English. See, what do you mean by purity of language? Your uniqueness is purity. See, in Sanskrit we have a very beautiful concept: 'aasha prayoga'; means an Enlightened being does not have any grammar rules. He does not have any grammar rules in Sanskrit.

(07:51)

Many Sanskrit poems and sutras written by Vivekananda does not fit with the Sanskrit grammar. Not only Vivekananda, even Patanjali, Krishna - Gita has so much of grammatical mistakes. No, really! If you read Gita, so much of grammatical mistakes. Anyhow, aasha prayoga - see the problem is I am trying to express something which is not possible to express; very difficult to express. So, naturally, that restriction of grammar or phonetical - all these things does not - it creates more disturbances and more problems. So please put up with my English. But I can be sure I will convey the concept or the truth which I want to convey.

(08:52)

Initiation happens only in the presence. The alchemy happens only in the presence. Never through the discourse, DVDs or books or YouTube or any other thing. All those things are only inspiration materials. People ask me, “Swamiji, what is this?” Actually, the whole NSP is in Youtube. The four days what you are going to listen - the whole thing is already in the YouTube. You don’t have to come here, pay, sit for four days - you can just see in the YouTube and get the whole material - including meditations. Now we started uploading even meditation techniques - even meditation techniques are getting uploaded.

(09:38)

People asked me, many times, especially the - one meditation Guru. He asked me, “What is this Swamiji? If you put everything in YouTube and publish as books,”- all the techniques which you are going to learn or going to do is already published in the form of books. The 'Meditation Is For You' there is a book - in that book all the meditation techniques which I am teaching in ASP, BSP, NSP, CSP, DSP - A, B, C, D, N, P, all set - all SPs; whatever I am teaching, all the techniques I have collected - I think like a 90 techniques is compiled in one book and published already. The book is 'Meditation is For You', you can get it and read and practice.

(10:24)

Somebody asked me, one meditation Guru, “What is this Swamiji? You publish everything in book and DVD, video, or YouTube clips. Then why do people come to your discourses or classes, programs?” I tell them, "That is Okay - I don’t have a problem." Two thing: one, I don’t feel that people should not have meditation and knowledge at all if they are not able to come here. There will be many reason, the people are not able to come and sit here. Maybe they will not be able to get four days out of their routine. Or maybe the religions prejudice, that I am wearing this color and He may be teaching some particular religion - religious prejudice. Or sometime even the age prejudice. I have seen people saying, one very elderly pundit, well educated, well read pundit - he came here, those days my photographs were popular. He came here to see and I was sitting outside the there is a bit rock, on that I was sitting and rocking actually - just rocking my leg. No, enjoying playing with my kids - My Gurukul kids. Those, those days only 2-3 kids, not many, just 2-3 kids. With them I was sitting and playing. This guy came and asked Me, “I wanted to meet Swamiji.” I said please go to the hall, He will come in half an hour.

(12:02)

No, this is not the joke, the real joke is coming, and after half an hour he came and I was about to sit in the chair, he said, “No, no I want to meet big Swamiji.” I said in this ashram I am the big Swamiji. And he thought I am a disciple. I am one brahmachari and Guru is there somewhere else. I said, “In this ashram, whether fortunately or unfortunately, I am the Guru. And you will be surprised, the guy asked me, actually, I healed one of his cousins. “No, no, no, one Swami came and healed my cousin. I heard" - she was actually brought out of coma. "I heard she was brought out of coma by this Swami. I want to meet that Swami.“ I said, "I am that Swami whether you believe it or not." Unfortunately we don’t carry ID card.

(13:00)

I don’t - see you won’t understand, that guy did not speak to Mand he went away - he went away. He said, “I don’t think you can teach me” and he went away. The age prejudice, lot of maybe due to all these prejudice people may not be able to come here. So, I do not want to restrict the initial inspiration or understanding. I don’t feel that they should not have meditation at all just because they’re not able to come here. That’s a reason - published all the books, all the techniques and methods - this a one reason. (13:41)

Second thing, see, with a spiritual Masters there are two things - one is portable knowledge and non-portable experience. The portable knowledge means, you can read, learn, imbibe and go out and tell that this are all as if your own invention. No problem, I don’t have a problem. I always tell people: I don't have copyright or any of My words or thoughts. You can use it half, full, misuse, abuse, mis-change or mix it, make masala and do anything you want and claim it as yours - I have no problem. I don’t have copyright over any of these things. It’s all up to you. Portable knowledge - it is no problem at all, it's available. There’s one important thing: 'non-portable experience' that can be gained only by His presence. Straightaway, sitting is presence is the only way to gain that non-portable experience.

(14:53)

People who do not have this second product with them - non-portable experience, they sell only the portable knowledge that is why so much of secrecy is needed. If they giveaway that they don’t have anything else to offer. People who are afraid. See understand, if they are not releasing their techniques in publication, in the form of books, cassettes, DVDs - be very clear, they do not have non-portable experience to transmit to you. So, all they have is only portable knowledge, that is what they have to continuously sell forever. If they have to maintain their necessity, if they have to retain their need - what to do? They have to sell only portable. So naturally the need for secrecy is needed. Otherwise they will lose their job.

(15:49)

Be very clear, not only I am confident, I have the courage - I know I have something which is non-portable. That is the reason I have offered all of my portable knowledge free of cost in the public media; in YouTube or website or whatever available way. It’s there - all the techniques you are going to practise these next four days, is available on the website for free download - you can download and practise all the words which I am going to utter is available in the YouTube for you to enjoy. But there is something non-portable, which you can’t steal. There’s a beautiful Upanishad word, only an Enlightened being has something which can’t be stolen, which can’t be stolen. Whoever has whatever things can be stolen, including parts of your body. Now they are stealing even kidneys. Kidneys are getting stolen, everything is getting stolen except brain. Because brain nobody - who wants your brain?

(17:07)

Anyhow, except brain everything is getting stolen. Only an Enlightened being has something which can’t be stolen - which is non-portable, that unique; they call it USP, unique selling point. Only Enlightened being has something USP, which is an USP. Please understand. Here, I am trying to offer the non-portable experience. So please understand and start working towards that. Maybe the portable knowledge, you had it or you may not have it. If you had you may feel little boring - relax. You are not listening in - with the same energy. Understand. You might have heard the same words through the YouTube or books, but you are not listening with the same energy. So sit here, intensely, for the sake of non-portable experience. If you are new, then sit with your whole intensity to get portable knowledge and non-portable experience, both.

(18:36)

The whole routine I have created - the whole program I designed - to awaken the potential energies inside your being, the deeper layer being, deeper layer energies. So, the food, intake - everything is designed to cooperate, to help your awakening. If you feel “What is this - this Swami is making us do so many things in these four days.” Understand. For you at least only four days in your life. For Me this is life. Somewhere or other, in some city other - you see the website, you will not see a one day gap. For the alchemy to happen, both of us have to sit. If only you need to sit, I can go and rest. If only i need to sit, you can go and rest. But, unfortunately, both of us have to sit - so, please be seated.
