Sadāshiva samārambām shankarācharya madhyamām Asmadācharya paryanthām vande guru paramparām

I welcome you all with My love and respects.

(01:00)

Today’s subject - Sound: The way to awareness.

Shiva is giving meditation techniques for all kinds of human beings. Usually men are more connected to some one sense. It is not that all of you are caught in all five senses. No! If you are caught in all five senses, you can't even move one step in your life. One sense is enough to create enough of problem. One sense is enough to create problems. Most of us are caught more in one sense, maybe eighty percent of our engrams will be related to one sense. Only the other twenty percent will be distributed among the other four senses. Somebody will be too much caught with the tongue, taste. Somebody will be too much caught with the eyes, seeing. Somebody will be too much caught in just listening, hearing. Somebody may be too much caught with the sense touch, pleasure of the touch but usually eighty percent of your energy will be caught in one sense.

(02:29)

You are not caught in all five senses. If you are caught in all five senses, nothing can save! Fortunately that is not the fact. You are not caught in all five senses. Most of your engrams, if you see the root, if you dig deep, will end up with one sense. It will end in one sense. Eighty percent will be with one sense. Here Shiva is giving five techniques for each sense. If you are caught with eyes, for you he gives you five techniques. If you are caught with your ears, music, he gives you the techniques. If you are caught with your smell, he gives you techniques. If you are caught with your lust, physical touch, pleasure, he gives you the technique. If you are caught with your tongue, taste, he gives you technique.

(03:33)

If you are caught with the cerebral layer means dreaming, day dreaming, understand, your day dreaming and night dreaming are very closely connected. If you are dreaming in the day too much, means too much thinking, you will have too much of night dreaming. Insomnia problem is not because you work too much, because you think too much. When you think too much, you are not ready to rest. The person who constantly thinks, will feel so insecure, he can't sleep. He will think, “When I sleep, if something happens to the world, what will happen? I will not know what is happening in the world.” Just because of that, he can't sleep, he can't sleep. He will have some problem. If you are caught with the cerebral layer, dreaming, too much of day dreams, he gives solution, techniques for you also.

(04:40)

Shiva is giving techniques for Enlightenment, for the ultimate bliss for every human being. These five techniques are related to sound. Here, these five techniques…. yesterday we started all the five techniques. Yesterday, today, tomorrow, day after tomorrow and one more. Five techniques are related directly to sound. Through sound, how to become enlightened. If you enjoy music, if you are musician, if you are more aware of sounds, if you feel connected with sound, these techniques will help you. They will help you a lot towards Enlightenment. Shiva says beautifully, you can't give one technique for all. No.

People ask Me, “In India, why so many Gods, so many meditation techniques?”

I asked them, “Why in the West, you have so many variety cars? So many pizzas? So many kinds of food?” Because you enjoy. So you created variety. You spent so much of your energy in that field. In any field, if society spends so much of energy, there will be variety. So many variety of cars because you have put so much of energy in that field. So many variety of meditation techniques, so many variety of Gods because we put so much of energy in that field.

(06:24)

In the East, we have put all our energy to create the best inner software. So that is why, anybody who masters the science, he creates his own inner software, he creates his own inner software and he has got his own copyright. That is what we call different traditions, different mutts, different monasteries. Each master who has mastered the mind, who has experienced Enlightenment, he creates. He creates his own program. He writes his own software and he knows how to train people in that software and he creates his own tradition. Naturally when so many enlightened beings are there, there will be so many traditions, so many method to make you enlightened. That is why so many Gods.

(07:15)

In India, we have thirty three crore means three thirty million. I think that was the population at that point. In those days, when they wrote that story thirty three crore God, that was the population. So they said that each one you can have your own God, Ishta Devatha, customized version. You can have your own God, your own method, your own technique, your own ideal. We call that as chosen ideal, Ishta Devatha. You can have your own way. We have variety in this field because we have spent so much of energy in that field. We have done so much of research and development. Just by teaspoon feeding, giving a readymade faith, readymade ideas, readymade belief, you can't have inner growth.

(08:13)

Maybe you can have a consolation. See, when you are hurt, little bit of… like a lubrication. It can be like a lubrication. “O, don't bother, there is hell. There is heaven. If somebody does bad, they will go to hell and if somebody does good, they will go to heaven.” Some sort of a consolation. Any readymade theory, any readymade theology, anything which is readymade like a spoon feeding which is given can't give solution. It can be little consolation. Consolation is different; solution is different. Lubrication is different; creation is different. It can be like a lubrication. When they come, when they are hurt, just do little psychological healing, maybe little confession or little counseling. That is okay but it is only the preliminary level. No readymade theory can help. You can't say, all should use same type of car. You can force but naturally there won't be comfort. The quality of life is less if the variety is not allowed.

(09:32)

Vivekananda says beautifully, freedom is the basic condition for any growth in any field. In the East, we have a tremendous freedom in the inner field, in the inner science. Each one can do his own research and one more beauty with that country, with that great tradition. If you do the research in the inner field, in the inner science, you are given food, stay, shelter, education, everything with respect. Understand, this one you should understand. Now all the software companies are declaring knowledge is free. Five thousand years ago, our Vedic masters have declared knowledge should be free. In 1902, we had two hundred thousand universities in only in South India which was giving free food, stay and education to students. We had two hundred thousand Gurukulams, spiritual universities in 1902.

(10:50)

I was doing little research how.... you see, for last five thousand years, there were so many invasions. No country is invaded like India. No country was invaded like our Bharat. In last three thousand years, five thousand wars! Five thousand wars in three thousand years but we have not lost our tradition. In last fifty years, we have lost it! How, how the other guys were not able to manage and last fifty years it happened? When I started studying, all the other invaders destroyed only our temples, which is just an architectural excellence. We can redo it within a generation. We had a technique, technology, method, everything. We can redo it. We can just establish it in one generation but when they invaded, they killed our ability to reconstruct. They destroyed our Gurukulam system, the education method where the science was preserved. The science of energizing or science of reconstruction or the very science to use the temples, the science was destroyed.

(12:23)

In 1902, we had two hundred thousand spiritual universities, two lakh, only in South India. Those days they call that as a Madras district, Madras state, South India, which was giving free food, shelter and education completely free. You will be surprised. They developed all sciences, not just chanting mantras or doing rituals. Sushruta did heart transplantation, open heart surgeries. They had all sciences. Actually we could have imbibed Western sciences without losing our roots. The whole thing could have been imbibed but they know, unless our system, our science is destroyed, we can't be controlled. Unless you destroy uniqueness of a country, you can't control that country. Unless you destroy the uniqueness, you can't make him slave.

(13:36)

1902 we had two hundred thousand. In 2002, within hundred years, we had just six hundred Veda pathasalas which are giving free food, stay and shelter. Just six hundred in the whole five states. In the whole South Indian five states, now we have only six hundred, means the system is lost. When the system is lost, everything can be lost. Otherwise it is not that India did not face the foreign invasion, cultural invasion or wars. We have faced but it was not cunning. It was very straightforward. You kill me, I will kill you. Over! That is far more better than cunningly killing the tradition, destroying the science which was created and enslaving, making people dependent, bringing them under the slavery. Of course, this was done in such a cunning way, people were not even able to be aware of the whole thing.

(15:01)

The tradition which gives food, shelter, education, all with respect, I tell you from My own experience. Nine years… cream of somebody's life is youth. From seventeen to twenty five, I did not do anything useful to the society. That was the age either you are expected to study. Studying means what? You are promising I will deliver my results in future. That is what is studying. Studying is nothing but promise to the society or you are supposed to work. Either you deliver at that age or you get ready to deliver. Seventeen to twenty five is the age everybody is expected either to deliver or get ready to deliver. That was the cream of the life. I did not do anything which is useful to that society. I was sitting with closed eyes constantly meditating, meditating, meditating. You can see the photographs. You can see the photographs meditating, meditating, meditating. Nothing else. I was neither giving a promise to the society I will be useful to the society nor I was useful to the society. Either you give promise or be useful. I was neither useful nor I was giving promise but that great tradition was ready to give food, shelter, education, with respect. Understand, with respect!

(16:51)

In any other country, I would have been called as homeless and put in the homeless shelter or given psychiatric medicines, medications. In any other country, that is what would have happened to Me, that is what would have been done to Me. Either they would have tried their best to give psychological counseling. If I am not ready to listen, they would have put Me in the homeless shelter. There also if I am not ready to stay, I would have been given a psychiatric drugs but this great tradition, this Vedic culture gave Me food, shelter, education, with respect. One more thing I want to tell you, it is not that I was staying in one place. If I am staying in one place, I can tell that city is very generous, that gave Me food, that gave Me shelter, that gave Me everything with respect. No, I was wandering throughout the India, means what? The whole country has absorbed this ideology. The whole country is ready to receive sadhus. The whole country is ready to receive people who are doing research in the inner science.

(18:11)

Even now, we have ten million. Understand, one crore, means practically one percent of our population is sanyasis. Just now we had a Kumbh Mela in January. January we had a Kumbh Mela. Ten lakh, no… sorry… ten million, ten million means one crore, only sanyasis gathered. Just sanyasis. Sadhus, Sanyasis, Bairagis, Babas. One crore! They are the backbone of our culture. They are the backbone of our tradition. They kept everything alive. They kept everything alive.

(18:56)

First thing, they took away the certifying authority of gurukuls. They said Gurukulam certificate cannot get you job. So if you have to survive, you should go for Western education. You have to listen to your history interpreted by them, your history edited by them, your history told by them. So naturally what you have to do? You are conditioned. You are conditioned. Especially kids are so innocent. Anything you teach goes inside. Anything you tell goes inside and still that country is suffering with clerk producing education system, not leader producing education system, with a clerk producing education system. Still we are producing clerks, clerks, clerks. For whom, we don't know. Still we are producing only workers. For whom, we don't know. It is going on. Once you take away the power, once you destroy the reproduction system, anything can be destroyed. Five thousand years ago, our masters declared education, knowledge should be free.

(0:14)

Five thousand years ago, our masters declared education, knowledge should be free, knowledge should be free, means what? Encouraging the research and development in the inner science, encouraging the research and development in the inner science. So much of energy has been put. Somebody the other day took Me to a university and he was explaining those university. I was really enjoying. Suddenly he made a comment, “In India, why did you guys did not do anything like this?” I said, “Relax! You all worked in different way. Come to South Indian villages. Every village has got much bigger infrastructure than this university in stone. Each village will have at least three to four acre built up area in stone: temples.”

(01:20)

Their houses will be simple, humble, thatched roof but the temples will be granite, stone because we know the value of the inner science, we know the value of our tradition, we know the value of our culture. Still 72% of Indian gold is stored in temples and universities.... temples and Ashrams. 72%. India is the largest gold consumer in the planet earth and 72% of the gold is preserved, protected in temples and the spiritual universities, what we call ashrams, monasteries. 72% is not a joke is in the temples and universities. That was the nerve center of our tradition where we created all this knowledge, inner science, practiced and preached and further research and development was going on continuously.

(02:31)

I told them, “We worked in a different way. We worked in different line. We worked in different direction. We did not spend time, too much energy on building dams or roads. We have spent too much of energy in creating a society in which people will have extreme, ultimate inner bliss. We have worked, we have spent our energy to create best inner software.” You will be surprised, without any media, newspaper, magazine or printing material or any other communication system, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, they are chanting same mantras. No communication system. You don't know how they standardized it. From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, anybody who sits in meditation, anybody who gets initiated at the age of seven, the same technique is given and we know how to start. Of course, then the variety is offered to them but the method, the procedure, how they have standardized it? How it has spread all over the country? There is no road, there is no communication system. How the system has spread all over the country? Because we have put all our effort and energy to create best software for the human beings.

(04:15)

Understand and be proud you are descendants of the people who have spent all their energy to create best inner software, who spent all their energy in creating the best inner software to deliver to the whole world. Not only they created, they never copyrighted, they never copyrighted. The system itself does not allow copywriting. The system says only to spread more and more. System encourages only to spread more and more. The great tradition which believed knowledge is free, the great tradition which was ready to support the students. There is a beautiful Sutra. It is a enlightened master's responsibility to feed, to take care and give education to any student who comes. If he is not able to give food, enlightened master is supposed to work, make money and feed the students. That is what I am doing now. That is what I am doing.

(05:36)

In India, even now anybody who comes, anybody who comes, one year they can stay in our Ashram. They will be given food, stay, cloth and education, means all our spiritual literatures for studying. Anybody, any age. All we request is only one prerequisite: interest in spirituality. Anybody can come, can stay one year. Full one year you are given free food, stay and the ambience to study and support to study like books or any other literature or all the other possible things. People ask Me, “Swamiji, if You do this service, who will pay and attend Your programs?” I say, “No, that is our way of supporting these projects but our core truth is sharing the knowledge. Anybody who is ready to study, who is interested in receiving the knowledge, it is our responsibility. I am supposed to work and feed them and give them the knowledge. That becomes a commitment to an enlightened being.”

(06:57)

See, sometime I feel surprised how much of respect is given for creating this knowledge and reproducing this knowledge and doing further research and development in this level. We have beautiful Mantra. I wanted you all to know the background. Only then you will understand the greatness of this knowledge. Otherwise this will look very…”Ah! what is there? Some mantra you chant and you just sit.” No! If you understand the amount of energy spent behind this whole system, the amount of research and development done behind this whole system, then you will be able to realize, feel connected to this great tradition. The beautiful Sutra which says: Sahana Vavatu Sahanau Bhunaktu Saha Veeryam Karava Vahai Tejasvi Navadhitamastu Ma Vidvishavahai

(08:07)

Before starting the classes, master and disciple, both of them chant, “Let both of us have good relationship, let both of us grow together.” Understand, understand an important thing. Master is teaching disciple. He is telling, “Let both of us grow together, let both of us help each other, let both of us not hurt each other or hate each other.” Master is not telling, “Let you grow by my teaching.” No! Understand the humbleness. Understand the attitude of Indian Vedic education system. They don't say, student is growing. They say, both of us are growing. Only when a student is there, teacher is called teacher. Only when you have a child, you are a mother. Otherwise, you are just a woman. Only when a child is given birth, not only you give birth to a child, child gives birth to a mother. Till then, you are not mother. You are just woman. When you give birth, it is not only child, mother also is given birth.

(09:32)

Same way, when a student learns, when a student is taught, when there is a student, not only student is growing, teacher also grows. That is why. we say ‘Sahana vavatu.’ Let both of us grow together and let both of us expand, help each other. Let both of us not hate or hurt each other because it is a process. It is just process. So much of humbleness, so much of energy is spent on this creating this knowledge, spreading it. That is why, you see so many variety of techniques. The reason for so many techniques is so much of energy is spent in that department, in that research and development, in that field.

(10:36)

These five techniques are related to sound. Small difference but great. I can say, when you look superficially, small difference but when you work, start working on it, you will realize the greatness of every technique, the uniqueness of every technique. This is like a manual for intelligence. We can say, this book is user’s… owner’s manual for intelligence. If you have it, better to read this book once and know how to use it, know how to use it. This book is like a owner's manual for intelligence. Mahadeva is giving a technique for all human beings. Even if you are oriented, music oriented, oriented towards your ears, even for you, he is not just giving one technique, he is giving you five different techniques. You may ask, “How to find out?”

(11:59)

See, the rough idea whether you are music oriented or visualization oriented or feeling - touch oriented or smell oriented, you can very clearly understand just by seeing your lifestyle. If you just sit with yourself and think, you will understand. You will know. If you understand major portion of your energy, major percentage of your energy is tuned to one sense, then take up those few techniques. Just play with them for three-four days. Suddenly you will see one technique clicks, that Satori happens. Suddenly you feel, “This is for me!” Just that clicking.

(12:54)

People ask Me, “Swamiji, how will I know You are my master? How to find out my master?” I tell them, “Go to different masters, whoever you think. Even if you doubt somebody is enlightened, go and sit at their feet. Just try. Decide, one year I will spend just in seeking. Nothing wrong. Make it like a project, one year. Whoever you doubt as enlightened, try to sit at their feet. With somebody, suddenly that click will happen, that awakening of the Kundalini or feeling connected. You know now he is your master. There won't be any doubt. There won't be any doubt.” As long as you have doubt, he is not your master. As long as you have doubt, he is not your master.” I always tell people, “As long as you have doubt, relax! I am not your master. Continue seeking. Wait for click, that satori to happen or continue seeking. Forget about Me. For no reason your seeking itself should be dropped. Do not drop your seeking. That is such a great treasure, such a great blessing happens to human being.”

(14:18)

Seeking means what? Feeling uncomfortable just being inside your skin, feeling suffocated just with this small boundary, feeling, “Oh God, how long I will be here just sitting, feeling bored, tired of just playing with these five senses?” How much… how many times you can have joy by rubbing that object to the pleasure points? See, you have five pleasure points. When the objects rub that points, the pleasure points like tip of the eyes where the scenes are felt, experienced, the tip of the nose where the smell is experienced, the edge of the ears where the music is experienced, the edge of the reproduction organ where the touch is experienced, the tip of the tongue where the taste is experienced. These are the five tips, five points you experience pleasure. When you are tired of using these five points, when you feel enough, when you feel suffocated just with these five points, when you want to expand, the feeling to expand is what I call seeking. When you are tired of these five points, the seeking starts.

(15:52)

Please do not miss seeking. Even if you have not found your master in Me, perfectly alright but do not drop seeking. Continue the seeking. Decide whoever you doubt, just go and sit with them. Just few days try. Suddenly something will click. I tell you, five-six persons, five-six masters if you try, that is enough. That will be maximum. That will be more than sufficient. You are not so dull that you can't have connection just with five-six. You are not so dull. Even if you think you are so dull, you are not so dull. You are not so ignorant as you think. Even in ignorance you are not so perfect. Relax! Because we think, “No, no, no, this all may work for others but I know this can't happen to me.” No. Even you can feel connected at one point.

(17:00)

All you need to do is just make it like a project. One year I will seek but when that click, when that Satori happens which is beyond your logic, then decide, now drop everything. Now once that click happens, once that feeling connected happens, now I am going to work with him. Over! Now drop everything else and decide strongly to work with him. Go all out. We call in Sanskrit, two word: viveka, vairagya. Viveka means analyzing, going around and seeking. Nithya-Anithya vastu viveka- which is right or wrong. Seeking, trying to work, “Will this guy…will I be able to feel connected with this guy? Will I be able to feel connected with this master?” Just go round. This is called Viveka, analyzing. Vairagya: once you feel connected, drop everything else. Drop everything else and decide strongly to work.

(18:10)

Ramakrishna says beautifully, “Till the food is served, there will be sound in the party. Once the food is served, the sound will slowly reduce. Once the people start eating, there won't be any other sound except blup blup, blup blup- that eating sound. Same way, in the seeking time, there will be little sound, noise in you, little disturbance going around but when you see the right person, the sound will come down. When the click happens, over! After that, only the sound click, nothing else. Nothing else will be there. It will completely settle down. Same way, play with these techniques. Just play with these few techniques. Nothing wrong and these techniques are foolproof, no side effect, time tested. So you can play with them freely and one more thing, these techniques are such, even if you make one or two small mistakes, you won't have side effects. You won't have side effects. If you do it properly, you will have that positive effect. If you do little mistake, there won't be any effect, that's all but there won't be negative effect or side effects. That is the beauty of these techniques. Time tested, full proof, powerful techniques.

(19:49)

All you need to do, just play with the techniques. Don't even be too serious. Don't be too serious. Do it in a relaxed way on your easy chair. When you are sitting in your home, when you are sitting in your office but not when you are driving! When you are sitting in your office, when you are sitting in your home, just play with these techniques. Suddenly you will see something opens up. If you play with two-three techniques, something will click, something will catch. I always tell people, just three-four days, if it does not click, drop, next. Shiva has given hundred and twelve meditation techniques. I have spoken… I think we are in the fortieth sloka. Forty. Just try one by one. Try for few days. Suddenly something will click. That is the technique for you.

Shiva has given hundred and twelve meditation techniques. I have spoken… I think we are on the fortieth sloka. Forty. Just try one by one. Try for few days. Suddenly something will click. That is the technique for you and you will see you are able to explore and experience the inner space through the techniques.... through the technique. Let Me enter into the today's Sutra. Very powerful Sutra:

Yasya Kashyaapi Varnasya Purvaan Taavanubhavayet Shunyaya Shunya bhutosau Shunyo karapumaan bhavet

Let Me read once more: Yasya Kashyaapi Varnasya Purvaan Taanubhavayet Shunyaya Shunya bhutosau Shunya karapuman bhavet

Beautiful sloka. In the beginning and gradual refinement of the sound or any Akshara, any letter, O yogi, enter into the power of void and become enlightened.

(02:00)

Understand, if you are too much visualization centered, this technique is not for you. It won't work. If you are too much centered on physical touch, this technique is not for you. If you are too much centered on eating, this technique is not for you. If you are a musician, if you enjoy music, if you have the sense for music, this technique is for you. If you have sense to enjoy music.... if you are too much oriented in your ears, this technique is for you. If you are trying the wrong technique, you won't feel connected. Even when I say this translation, ‘In the beginning and the gradual refinement of the sound or any letter, enter into the power of void and just become void and let you be enlightened,’ it feels like how can somebody become enlightened just by hearing some sound and entering into the soundlessness? Looks so simple. You may not feel connected to it if you are not based on sound. You see, people who are completely connected to sound, they can't live without listening to music. They will die. If you are that kind of a person, this technique is for you.

All human beings are not equal as we think. Human beings are unique, not equal. Understand, you are not equal; you are unique. The idea you are equal creates so much of problem in you. All the tension inside your being is just because when you start thinking you are equal. When you think you are equal, you know in society you are not equal. Then jealousy starts, comparison starts, running starts. The worst thing in the rat race is, even if you win, you are a rat! Worst thing in the rat race, even if you win, you are a rat! Even if you win, what to do? Just a rat! When you think all are equal, problem starts. You are not equal; you are unique. All your tension, see inside. It starts with the basic theory all human beings are equal or supposed to be equal. No, neither you are equal nor you are created to achieve equality. Understand, neither you are equal nor you are created to achieve equality.

(05:23)

God is not engineer. If he is engineer, he would have created one mold and, “Eh! Make now million molds, million copies.” He would have created Miss Universe and Mr universe and this ten million and that ten million. Over! Job is done! He is not engineer. He is an artist. He paints everyone of you. He carves everyone of you. He creates everyone of you. That is why, we are unique, we are not equal. I have seen people coming and telling Me, “Swamiji, give me some technique to be more beautiful.” I ask them, “What is the concept of beauty? Just tell Me. What is the concept of beauty?” Nothing, it is just an idea promoted by all these cosmetic industry. You see, some proportion, some measurements are considered as a beauty. This cosmetic industry, the people who sell all the spare parts… spare parts and paintings, they need to promote their product. It is they who sponsor for all these Miss Universe competitions, they who conduct because if they create an idea of some model, then everybody will try to become like that model: try to paint or try to change measurements through so many ways.

(07:05)

People who have vested interest, who are in that field, whose business is dependent on creating a model, they create a model. Otherwise who can say which is a right measurement or wrong measurement? You are unique. You are enough unto yourself. Understand, beauty comes by adding more and more spare parts and more and more makeup. Grace comes by accepting you as you are. Grace is different, beauty is different. Beauty can come and go. In India, I have seen people do that black painting here and white painting here. When they go in the rain, the color changes. That becomes white and this becomes black. I tell them, “If you are painting, please don't go in the rain,” because the color exchange will happen. Beauty comes by makeup, external things; grace comes by internal acceptance. When you accept what is there, there is no such thing as a standard measurement. There is no such thing as model. There is no such thing as model.

(08:27)

Understand, I am not talking about male feeling attracted to female or female feeling attracted to male. No, it is a nature. I am talking about male having a male model in the mind and trying to look like that person or female having a female model and trying to paint constantly like that person, trying to appear like that person. One important thing you should know, the moment you start thinking some other body is beautiful or handsome, you have created gap between yourself and your body. Unconsciously you will start hating your body. You won't feel comfortable in your body. Already wedge has been inserted between you and your body.

(09:20)

Understand, feeling somebody else is beautiful will create gap between you and your body. Look into your life. None of you feel completely comfortable with your body. Do you touch your body completely? Do you touch with love and care? Do you feel comfortable? You don't even look your whole body in the mirror. No, you cover everything and the remaining portions are painted as you want, not as it is. Only after everything, you look into the mirror to do the final touch. You don't even feel completely comfortable with your body. You don't understand an important truth. The other body may be pretty, handsome, beautiful but you can't drink just cup of tea through that body. You can’t enjoy even a cup of coffee through that body. You have to enjoy everything only through this body. First thing, to work with all these techniques, you should come back to your body. You should be completely relaxed with your body.

(10:35)

Shiva gives one more beautiful technique to completely feel connected to your body. He says, sit in the water maybe in your bathroom, bathtub, neck level water and just feel completely inside your body. Do not be outside your boundary. Now when you are here, your body may be here but your mind will be somewhere. If you sit inside the water, it will be easy for your mind to feel your boundary because the water pressure is there around you. That is why, in those days yogis used to sit neck level water in the flowing river. They will sit. It will give them the clear cut idea about their boundary. If you stay inside your boundary, you will be in the present moment.

(11:30)

You can see in your life, morning when you come out of your bed and start brushing your teeth, you are already in the office. Your mind is thinking about the office. When you are sitting in the office, your mind is thinking about evening beach. When you are in the beach or the place, your mind is thinking about the temple lecture. When you are here, now your mind is thinking about when this Swami will end? I can go to the house and relax. When you are in the house, “When tomorrow morning will come? We can go to the office.” If you are here, one thing is sure, your mind is not here. You don't stay inside your boundary. Your bodies are not your homes, your lodges. You put the luggage and go round for sightseeing. They are not your homes. That is why, you don't feel homely inside your body.

(12:29)

Understand, your bodies are not your homes. As on now they are lodges. You put your luggage and they are there. You just go round. That is why, sometime guests come and “Oh! Nobody is there, empty. Why not let me also live?” Ghosts. People come and ask Me, “How people get possessed by ghosts?” If you are not staying in your boundary, because it is empty, somebody will come for renting. Somebody else will feel, “Why not me have little space? After all, nobody is living there.” If you are living inside your boundary, no possibility for possessiveness.... being possessed by anything, any spirits or ghosts or anything or even the split personality. People ask Me now, next million dollar question, “Is there ghost, Swamiji?” Don't bother whether it is there or not. The problem which comes in the name of being possessed happens when you don't stay inside your boundary.

(13:42)

If you just sit in the bathtub, this level water, neck level and feel the boundary and just sit inside your body, feel you are sitting inside your skin. The skin is your boundary. You are not going anywhere else. Just observe what is going on inside the body. Do you have any small pain anywhere. It is like a just doing small, simple overhauling or taking accounts- all the bones are there in their place or you are able to feel all the parts of the body. Just once in a while. It is like accounts. You don't need to do it like a big meditation technique. Just ten-twenty minutes sit with your body with your boundary. You see, you spend at least one hour everyday maintaining your body: taking bath or giving food or decorating it. At least one hour. That one hour just be inside your boundary. You will become enlightened! You don't need to do anything else.

(14:55)

People come and ask Me, “Swamiji, give some meditation technique for busy people. I am too busy in my life.” Busy without business! In Tamil, there is a proverb: Dog can't stand in one place but it doesn't have anything to do. It may not have anything to do but it can't stand in one place. So we are busy but with no business. People come and ask Me, “Give me some technique for busy people. I am too busy. I can't do meditation.” I tell them, “Do you eat? “Yes” “Do you take bath?” “Yes” “Do you brush your teeth?” “Yes”

(15:38)

Totally per day how many hours or how much of time you spend on your body? At least one hour. Brushing, taking bath, washing yourself and eating. At least one hour. All put together, one hour. That one hour, decide you will be inside your boundary. That one hour, when you brush your teeth, you will feel only what is happening in that area. When you are taking bath, you will feel only what is happening all over your body by the water. When the water is being showered on you, just feel what is happening. You will not think about your accounts. You will not think about shouting your subordinate. You will not think about your boss. Just be inside the boundary. When you eat, just enjoy. That one hour everyday just be with your body. Nothing else is required. You will be integrated. You will not have split personality. Split personality happens to you just because you don't stay inside your boundary, you don't stay inside your boundary.

(16:56)

Here all these techniques will work. They will be very powerful on you if you integrate yourself because unless you integrate yourself you will not even know in which sense you are established too much. As on now, understand, sometime you may think… people come and tell Me, “Swamiji, I am too much caught with my tongue. I eat like anything.” But if I see their energy, they are caught with their lust. It is not tongue. Suppression of lust turns as a craving for food. They are not directly connected to their tongue. They are connected to their lust but when they don't feel satisfied, when they are not satisfied, then they start eating. The emptiness inside.

(17:51)

Usually male fill by pouring, female fill by putting food, stuffing. In Indian tradition, male eat, female.... Sorry, male drink, female eat, over! That emptiness... when you feel that emptiness inside, you somehow want to feel fulfilled and you dump food like a dustbin. Like dustbin you dump. You won't even know in which sense you are caught, in which sense you are stuck unless you integrate yourself. Sitting with your body, these things will help you lot to integrate yourself, completely to be inside your boundary. Decide from today. From today you decide. Make a strong Will, “Everyday I am spending at least one hour on my body. When I brush, when I take bath, when I eat, at least one hour. That one hour I will spend with me, I will spend within my boundary.”

(19:07)

Actually this Mala, this bracelet, all these things are just to remind you this kind of Sankalpas. People ask Me, “Why are You recommending this Mala and bracelet, Swamiji?” I tell them, “All these things will remind you if you take this Sankalpa and decide to wear that bracelet.” Everyday before eating, you will remember, “Yes, now I am supposed to be with my boundary.”

(19:37)

These are all reminding techniques. You are not that great person to have a memory that everyday you will remember without all this external help. If you are that great person, you don't even need meditation. We are not that aware. We know that. That is why, all these external things. That is why, all these small, small, external things. These things are just to remind you about this great ideology, lifestyle or the decisions which you made. If you don't remember those decisions, these things have no use. They are just weight on your body.

Unless you integrate yourself, sitting with your body, these things will help you lot to integrate yourself, completely to be inside your boundary. Decide from today. From today, you decide. Make a strong will, “Everyday I am spending at least one hour on my body. When I brush, when I take bath, when I eat, at least one hour. That one hour I will spend with me, I will spend within my boundary.” Actually this Mala, this bracelet, all these things are just to remind you this kind of Sankalpas. People ask Me, “Why are You recommending this Mala and bracelet, Swamiji?” I tell them, “All these things will remind you if you take this Sankalpa and decide to wear that bracelet.” Everyday before eating, you will remember, “Yes, now I am supposed to be with my boundary.”

(01:23)

These are all reminding techniques. You are not that great person to have a memory that everyday you will remember without all this external help. If you are that great person, you don't even need meditation. We are not that aware. We know that. That is why, all these external things. That is why, all these small, small, external things. These things are just to remind you about this great ideology, lifestyle or the decisions which you made. If you don't remember those decisions, these things have no use. They are just weight on your body. They are just weight on your body. These things are just to remind you, “From today, whatever time I spend with my body, maintenance time, I will spend with me. Over! I will be within my boundary.” This one decision can transform your life. I promise just twenty one days this one decision is enough, can change your life, can change the way in which you think about you and the world.

(02:41)

Understand, if your idea about you changes, your idea about the world and the God will change. Jeeva-Jagat-Ishwara. Jeeva is idea about you, Jagat is your idea about the world and Ishwara is your idea about the Ultimate. All these three are very closely connected. If your idea about you changes, your idea about the world will change and your idea about the Ishwara will change. If you are fear based, you will feel very connected to the deities with all weapons, eighteen handed Kali or Muniasamy, Karpannar, with all the deities which are violent, you will feel very connected because you are deeply feeling insecure. You want somebody to protect you with all the weapons. If you grow, if your idea about you changes, if you rise to the level of Anahata, love, suddenly you will feel connected to Krishna, more love, more bliss, more joy. If you elevate yourself little more, if your personality becomes a seeker, means seeker of enlightenment, you will feel connected to the master. With no other God you will feel connected. All those Gods are okay but you won't feel connected. Only the connection will be with master. You will feel master is everything. That is everything.

(04:23)

People ask Me, “Are you God?” I tell them, “No, only for selected. I am not God for all but only for those few who are seekers.” People come and ask Me, “Swamiji, I heard that fellow had some miraculous experience in his life by You. You did that to him, this to him. Why not do for me also?” I tell them, “No, it is not in My hand. It is in your hand. How much you feel connected. If you feel connected to Me as a teacher, I will do only the teacher job. Only the teacher's job will happen. If you feel connected to Me as a master, the master’s job will happen. If you feel connected to Me in a much more deeper level, those kinds of things will happen. It is feeling connected that creates the possibility for miracles, that creates the space for power of coincidence to happen.”

(05:24)

Understand, it is you feeling connected, your feeling connected that creates a special space where miracles just continue to happen. Miracles are not done, it happens. If it is done, it is a work. Only if it happens, it is miracle. How can miracles be done? No, it can't be done. It can only happen. People come and ask Me, “Sometime in somebody's house, they get Darshan, Vision. Vibhuti is coming from photograph.” Something like that they come and tell Me. “Swamiji, why in only in their house in Your photograph, Vibhuti is coming? Not in my house?

(06:04)

I tell them, “Arey! it is not in My hand. It is in their hand. It is in the personality, how much they feel connected. It is their devotion, their trust. That is the way they wanted. So that is the way it is expressing. I won't even be aware of what is happening there.” Understand, I am breaking all the business secrets. I won't even be aware. It is the person’s feeling connected. When you deeply feel connected, you create the space where miracles start happening, where the possibility of Superconscious expressions start happening, where the power of coincidence starts expressing itself.

(06:52)

Here, with these techniques you can experience the Ultimate truth if you just decide. Only one thing, to be inside your boundary, to be inside your boundary. That one thing is enough. Decide strongly, “For next twenty one days, I will be inside my boundary whenever I maintain my body. Maintenance period I will be with my body.” I think this is not a big thing. Everybody can do it because all of you are maintaining. You are taking bath... Hope. You are brushing your teeth and you are washing yourself and you are giving food to your body. At least it takes one hour everyday to do all this work. Maybe twenty minutes, ten minutes, five minutes, part by part but one hour. Just decide that one hour, enough, “I will be with my boundary.” It will just transform your being. You will very clearly understand with which sense you are caught. You will very clearly understand what is supposed to be done further.

(08:12)

Here, Shiva is giving a very powerful technique to work on the sound. Let Me translate the technique: In the beginning and gradual refinement of the sound or of any letter, enter into the power of void, become the nature and the form of void. Let you be liberated. This technique is supposed be done with tremendous awareness. It is like a… you are supposed to be aware before any sound starts. You should become just hearing. You should forget all other senses, only hearing and the starting of the sound and the sound reaching the peak and sound slowly disappearing and when you go into the disappearance, along with the sound, your mind also will disappear. Understand, it means whole mind, your whole awareness should be established just on the ears. You should forget about all other senses, complete centralising on the ears and going through that sound, peak of that sound and valley of that sound and disappearing along with the sound.

(10:06)

You may ask, “Is it possible?” It is! All you need is little awareness. With little awareness, if you start working with this technique, more than a month is not required. Maximum a month is enough to play with these kind of techniques. Suddenly you will see, you are into the space where there is no sound and no thought. Let Me explain the technique. It is like a… first ten minutes you will completely concentrate on your ears, means the spot where you hear the sounds, where you feel the sounds, where you experience the sounds. See, from outside those waves are coming and touching you. At one point, they hit you and you realize that you are hearing some sound. Concentrate on that point where the sound waves hit you and you realize you are hearing some sounds. Concentrate on that point. Forget all other things, everything else. Then in that concentration, in that deep awareness, create some sound like a bell or a gong or some Mantra. Create.

(11:44)

One more thing, you should not miss the beginning, the starting point as if your life is dependent on this. You should be so centered as if you will die if you don't do this properly, so centered and don't miss the beginning of the sound. Let you be so aware inside your inner space that wave rising, sound wave rising, like a graph it should go up. Just go with that sound. Reach the peak along with the sound. Just slowly come down with that sound and reach the valley with that sound. Disappear along with the sound. It is possible. It is possible. Let us try. Let us try to work on this. Whoever can, let them have the glimpse. Let us work on the technique. Then we will have the Energy Darshan. How much time it will take I don't know. Maybe twenty or thirty minutes because I need to guide you and take you to the deep awareness, complete concentrated mood. Only then I will create the sound. So it may take twenty minutes or something.

(13:21)

If you can't sit for next twenty minutes, if you feel for some reason you can't or you don't want to, you can leave the hall. If you sit in the back side row, it will be easy. You can leave without disturbing others. Maybe it will take twenty minutes. Not more than twenty minutes. It will be only twenty minutes. If you want you can sit on the floor or anywhere. That is not a problem. You can just sit in a completely relaxed way. Don't be tensed.

Please close your eyes. Concentrate on your ears. Please close your eyes. Concentrate on your ears just exactly the point in which you hear the sound. You are listening to the sound. Now you can hear the sound of the river. Just feel the point where you hear the sound, you listen to that sound. Concentrate on the spot where you are experiencing sound, where you are feeling the sound.

(01:32)

Meditation

(02:07)

Forget all other senses like visualization, taste, smell, touch. Forget about all other things. Just be completely centered on the sound, spot where you hear the sound. Be centered on that spot.

(02:36) Meditation

(04:38)

Be centered completely. Concentrate on the spot where you are hearing this sound inside your head, the point in which you are hearing the sound. Concentrate on that spot. Be aware to receive the sound now. Now be aware to receive the sound. Don't miss the beginning. I will create the bell sound. Don't miss the beginning. From the beginning, just go with the sound to the peak and slowly go to the valley. When the sound disappears, disappear along with the sound. Be aware.

(05:40)

Meditation

(06:48)

Again be aware step by step and creating the sound. Just start with the sound, go with the sound. When the sound disappears, disappear along with the sound.

(07:06)

Meditation

(07:48)

Now concentrate on the same space. Go with the flow of these Mantras. Rise along with this Mantra, reach the peak along with this Mantra. Disappear along with this sound. Hreem… Hreem… Hreem…

(08:49)

Meditation

(09:07)

Now you can create slowly some Mantra, some sound inside your inner space. Create, flow with it to the peak and disappear when the sound disappears. You may chant Omkara. Slowly start, take it to the peak and disappear along with the sound. Om… Om… Om… Stop and give gap.

(10:16)

Meditation

(10:30)

Feel even the absence of sound in the inner space. How you feel the presence of sound, same way feel the absence of sound.

(11:45)

Now start again. Om… Om…

(17:14)

Om…mmm…

(19:15)

Om Nityanandam. Relax! You can open your eyes. These techniques are very powerful but needs little bit of training like a again and again few times you need to practice. Only then you will grow that sensitivity with that sense. Then the click, the first experience, Satori can happen in you.

(20:00) There are lot of questions. Maybe I will answer all the questions tomorrow because if I answer, if I start, I won't be able to finish everything today. So I will answer all the questions tomorrow. Okay, so let you all achieve and radiate the Eternal Bliss- Nithyananda

Thank you
