Description:
In today’s morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda answers questions from devotees. He points out that sanyas -- monastic lifestyle -- is the source of all cultural benefits. Ayurveda, engineering, even weaving, were all revealed to the world by sanyasis. Sanyas, He declares, is the backbone of Bharat, of historic India. Nithyananda also speaks on the problem of pain. When we look at any pain we have with integrity and authenticity, we discover that we can move beyond it. They are the immediate cure for suffering. Nithyananda replies to the question of how to come out of selfishness in the Guru-disciple relationship. He instructs us to show our gratitude by sharing with others whatever He has taught to us. When we enrich the world, we are thanking our Guru.

Nithyanandeshwara Samaarambhaam Nithyanandeshwari Madhyamaam | Asmath Aachaarya Paryanthaam Vandhey Guru Paramparaam ||
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees, disciples sitting with us all over the world at this moment attending the live satsang through Nithyananda TV, Lotus News and Sadhana TV, Ishwar and Disha. Today also I will continue to answer your questions to make this tattvas practical as part of you, your life. Start the Questions:
Ma Maneesha: The first question today is from Inner Awakening ID No.198 Akshay. Swamiji, please speak on why a Sannyasis life is better than that of a Gruhasta and why parents object their children taking Sannyas? In what way a Sannyasi who does not make money and serves everybody always following master’s words for everything is better than somebody who creates his own resources?
May I know the questioner? Do you know in how many parents now are having high blood pressure? But whether you are afraid to face your authenticity or inauthenticity whatever it is, Life is Life. You understand. There are some people who think their son or daughter should get married inside their community and they try their best to keep the children away from the Facebook, Internet, Twitter, whatever and but they are not able to stop. Life is multiple choices are available now. In the modern days, you can’t do anything. Same way, how much ever you try to hide the ears of your kids or stop, don’t look at them, don’t look at that site, you can try how much ever you want. Just like how you are not able to stop kids getting married in other community, other religion. Same way, you can’t stop if they take the decision of Sannyas also. But however there is a webinar already organized. I cannot do anything about it. Tomorrow evening 8PM to 10PM. No, one funny thing. I just wanted to look into the society’s hypocrisy. These fellows want all the benefits created by the Sannyasis, see it’s like you want all the benefits created by doctors, but you don’t want somebody from your family to become doctor, then how will the doctor tradition be alive?
All the best things you guys are enjoying, whether it is architecture or dress or the medicine. Who created this Ayurveda? Sushruta, Sharaga, Rishis, enlightened beings, all the best things you have is from these great Sannyasis, great enlightened beings, great rishis. We want all the benefit from them but we will not strengthen and keep that knowledge tradition alive. Aryabhata – father of Mathematics, Sharaga, Sushruta, even the way you dress is designed and delivered to the world by the Sannyasis. A rishi called Devala Rishi, he created first the science of weaving, weaving was invented by Devala Rishi that is why that community, weaver’s community is called Devangas. The civilization is itself is built by enlightened beings. It is like you want all the benefits of architects and engineers but nobody from society should become architects and engineers anymore. How is that science going to be available for the next generation? No, No, No, let somebody else become. Let somebody else’s family become Sannyasis. I will have only the benefits. Hypocritical fellows. So my mother is a fool for letting to become Sannyasi and serve the society. You guys are all very intelligent, is it not? And people tell me, no, no, see even in your life how much of problems you faced? Come on! Without any problem, only one place you can live beautifully in the planet earth, peacefully cremation ground. Dig 10 feet and sit inside and put mud on yourself by yourself. Yes, I faced the problem. True. But that is the way anything great is done to the society. That is the way anything big is done to the society. That is the way so much of contribution is done to society.
So understand I may not speak about Sannyas now, but the tradition will flourish. Anybody received any good thing from the society directly indirectly, from the Sannyas traditions they are all indebted. If you stop your son or daughter becoming Sannyasi, don’t worry you will come back one more birth and you will become Sannyasi and live and pay the debt. See when you are supported by the help of doctors, society also should decide more and more people should become doctor, so that the tradition is kept alive. When you are helped by engineers, society should create engineering colleges so more and more people will become engineers, and the tradition is kept alive, that knowledge is kept alive. But when you guys are enriched by Sannyasis, why don’t you think of creating Sannyaas training centers and keep that tradition alive. We have enough of engineering colleges, enough of arts colleges, enough of laws colleges, enough of medical colleges, it is time now we create Sannyas Training Institutes. I commit with the humanity – I will take the responsibility of creating the Sannyas tradition, Sannyas Training Institutes. Ok. What to do? These guys are afraid their kids will become Sannyasis. I will tell you, there is so much of incompletion inside, that’s all, nothing else. They will be afraid of everything in life, they will be afraid of everything in life. People come and tell me. No, No, I am Ok Swamiji, I don’t have any problem, my husband, my father-in-law, my-mother-in-law, my father, mother they will all question me, they will all kill me. What to do? Life is like this only.
See that is one of the blind spot society is carrying. They enrich even a thief’s feel their tradition should not be disconnected so picks up few guys, trains as a next generation thief. And the politicians, robbers, even they feel their robbing style should be kept alive and they pick up people and train to rob the country. But it is so unfortunate, this one tradition suffers so much and society does not care about it and nobody wants. All the parents who does not want their kids to become Sannyasis, in the young age they themselves would have contemplated about this life and forcibly got married. So much of that idea of that insecurity. What to do? Hmm.
Society needs to wake up! It is time society wakes up! You should enrich the tradition from which you benefited. India is still together as India because of Sannyasis and Sannyas tradition India carries. Sannyasis are the back bone of India – Bharat’s Culture.
Next Question.
Ma Maneesha: The next question is from Inner Awakening ID No.206 Monika Gupta who is asking If pain is an illusion, how can we go beyond pain? Do we need to go to a no-mind state to experience no pain? How can the four principles help go beyond pain? I tried the technique given by you to observe the area where the pain is and it will dissolve with awareness. It does work, but for a common man it is difficult to understand. Can you please explain?
Monika Gupta, you need to know you are a common man. When it can work for you, it can work for everyone. We always have this problem, I know all these great truths work for me. Will it work for common man, then what are you? You are aam aadmi. When it can work for you, it will work for any aam aadmi, common man. Understand, what do you mean by the word common man – the villagers, the farmers, uneducated? I tell you, four tattvas work for them more quickly, more powerfully than you because their incompletions are lot less than you. Their incompletion, root patterns are very less than you. So I tell you, even for the simple pain you can apply these four tattvas, the experience of no-mind can be solution even for your simple pain. Enlightenment can be a solution even for your headache. All these days I had a cough, but that did not stop my life. Of course, somebody asked me in the energy darshan, you are god, why are you not healing your cough, you are healing so many diseases. You are not healing your cough. I laughed and said, I may be an incarnation but I made my body also out of bone, flesh, blood. So when I make my body out of bone, flesh, blood and muscles, it will it has to function inside the law of the muscles and the law of physical realm. And if you have seen the amount of work I gave it to this throat, almost 15 hours a day continuously speaking for last 10 years. Even if I am not taking the classes, I am talking to the Ashramites on other group to whom I have to instruct to get money to build this building I only put my sweat. But to make that money into this building I have to put my blood. So, there is so much of work, the load on the throat. I tell you, if any other throat long before it would have retired. But this throat is still giving me only little cough, it is a great thing, great achievement. For the number of hours it works, its only giving little cough. That is okay. Even then it is not stopping my life style, my routine. So understand, even for a simple headache, knee pain, enlightenment can be a powerful solution, enlightenment can be a powerful process, enlightenment can be invoked immediately.
Now, I will explain how these four principles can help you to go beyond pain.
20:00
When you are with integrity, you will not even allow the word ‘pain’ to be repeated by your muscle memory. Understand, even the muscle memory will repeat the words you repeat inside you. It’s a repetition of the word, ‘pain, pain, pain’, by your muscle memory is the reason why you experience pain. If you repeat the word, ‘crucial pain, crucial pain, crucial pain’, you will experience crucial pain. How many of you have pain, raise your hands? (People raise their hands). Today decide, for the next two days, you repeat the word, ‘crucial pain, crucial pain’ (Swamiji laughs), you may be asking, ‘what is this Swamiji, we asked you for solution to getting out of pain and you are asking us to get into more pain?’ No, if you repeat this word, ‘crucial pain, crucial pain’, and get into more pain, you will also suddenly realize the truth. Your mind has a capacity to create the pain, then you’ll understand your mind has the capacity to heal the pain, over! If your mind can create, your mind can heal. So understand, if your mind can create, it can heal.
Integrity, even your muscles will stop repeating the word ‘pain’. Automatically from your core, the being starts getting strengthened. I can see even in my cough, with authenticity, there is so much of development in the body, even though, still every day I go for construction rounds, in the dust, and continue to take the Inner Awakening classes, sessions. Listen, same way, when you take the responsibility for your pain, simply body grows, body expands to be beyond the pain. The very Integrity itself can destroy the pain you carry. The Authenticity itself can destroy the pain you carry. Responsibility makes your body to grow beyond the pain! So understand, when you live these four tattvas, you will be out of suffering, and there is no such thing as common man who can’t understand these four tattvas. Even a beggar in the street or a rickshaw wala or dabba wala or any guy, aam aadmi in the street can understand these tattvas much better than you, can apply this in his life to be out of pain or suffering because they have less layer of incompletions; they have less root patterns; they can be healed and completed more easily than you!
Next Question:
Ma Maneesha: The next question is from IA ID # 271 Akhila, who is asking, ‘what if we have a conflict between two words we gave, how to decide which one to drop and complete and which one to fulfill and complete? Why should there be a conflict between the words if both are rising out of responsibility?’
Swamiji: Akhila, the question seems to be completely intellectual, the question says, ‘what if we have a conflict between the two words we gave?’. There is no solution for “if”. Understand, there is only solution for the problems which are “is”. There is no solution for the problems which can be ‘if’. Tell me whether the problem is “lf” or “Is”. Only for IS I can give solution. If I give solution for this ‘if’, immediately you will say, ‘if there is a hill and if there is a cave in that hill and if there is a secret parrot in that cave in the hill, and if my life is stored in the neck of that parrot in the cave, and if a snake appears in that cave, and if that snake bites the parrot’s neck, what will happen to my life? Please give me solutions Swami!’
There are no ifs and buts in life; life is just Absolute! Life IS! Life just is, it is the way it is! It is not the way it is not! It is a simple truth! Why I am sitting on the throne? Why are you sitting there in the chair? Life is simple, you complicate it! When you make the IS into IF you complicate everything. That is why again and again I tell you don’t use ‘f’ word! “If” is the worst word on the planet earth. If you put ‘S’ with ‘I’, life IS. “I” is the existence and when you add “S” to “I”, life “IS”. But, instead you only want ‘f’ word with ‘I’, then life ‘IF’! When you add the ‘f’ word with ‘I’, everything is now ‘f’d’. Now life is completely complicated! Nobody can answer, nobody can solve! I don’t know why will you bring the ‘f’ word into life? Don’t add ‘f’ word into ‘I’, that’s all I’m saying! And, your question also further continues with a lot of ‘f’ words, ‘if we have a conflict between two words we gave, how to decide which one to drop and complete and which to fulfill and complete?’ First thing you need to know, when you live with ‘isness’, if at all you come upon this situation, you will simply know which you should complete and drop, which you should honor and fulfill. You are also asking, ‘why should there be a conflict between the words if both are arising out of responsibility?’ It is like you already build enough if, now you are putting a question, it’s like, ‘why should there be a fight at all between that snake in the cave and the parrot in which my life is kept?’ Is there any answer? Because that situation is built on millions of ‘ifs’.
It has no relevance when you ask, ‘why should there be a conflict between the words if both words are arising out of responsibility?’ I tell you, when you are responsible, you will utter only one word! You will not be giving two, and there will not be conflict! You should be very clear, ‘is your responsibility ‘is’ or ‘if’? The whole life is nothing but the fight between ‘is’ and ‘if’. All ‘IS’ is divine, Gods, Devatas, all ‘IFs’ are devil, demons. It is nothing but the long churning between ‘if’ and ‘is’. Getting it? Life is nothing but the fight between ‘if’ and ‘is’. So, in this question, if you remove all the ‘if’, ‘what if we have a conflict between two words we gave’, if you remove the ‘If’, ‘what we have conflict between two words we gave?’ we don’t have first of all. How to decide which one to drop and which one to complete? When you don’t have conflict, where is the question of dropping and completing or fulfilling? ‘Why should there be conflict if both are arising out of responsibility?’ As I said, out of responsibility, both cannot arise. One will always be inauthentic and one will be out of authentic responsibility!
