10 February 2026 SPH Live Darshan

On this day, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM—the ultimate manifestation, Paramavatara of Paramashiva, the ultimate superconsciousness—gave a Live Darshan on the auspicious occasion of the fifth day of the Mahashivaratri Brahmotsavam, attended by the founding fathers, diplomats, delegates, ministers, devotees, disciples, and e-citizens of the United States of KAILASA (USK). THE SPH delivered a profound discourse revealing the spiritual alchemy of shifting from a materialism-centered existence to a Moksha-centric life across the four Purusharthas: Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha. THE SPH elaborated on the "Ratri Suktam" and the mystical phenomenon of sleep, describing it as a nightly "voluntary suicide" where the individual identity, memories, and ego dissolve into the state of Shunya or Purna. THE SPH further revealed that by consciously utilizing the night to manifest oneness with Paramashiva, seekers can transcend the blind spots of the mundane world and experience the ultimate reality of Paramadvaita, or non-dual superconsciousness.

QUANTUM ENLIGHTENMENT. THE FESTIVITIES OF MAHASHIVARATRI BRAHMOTSAVAM IS HAPPENING IN ALL KAILASAS; FIFTH DAY CELEBRATION AND SATSANG. PARAMASHIVA'S DIRECT MESSAGE FROM MAHA KAILASA FOR ALL OF US: LISTEN. LIVE MOKSHA-CENTRIC DHARMA, MOKSHA-CENTRIC ARTHA, MOKSHA-CENTRIC KAMA, MOKSHA-CENTRIC MOKSHA. LISTEN CAREFULLY. I AM TEACHING YOU THE ULTIMATE TRUTHS; GIVING YOU THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE OF LIFE. THIS WHOLE PARAMASHIVARATRI, IS TEACHING YOU ABOUT HOW TO USE RATHRI, NIGHT TIME, TO MANIFEST THE ULTIMATE, SHIVA. LISTEN, SHIVARATRI IS NOT JUST ONE-DAY CELEBRATION. IT'S ONE-DAY TRAINING, TO MAKE EVERY NIGHT AS SHIVA'S NIGHT. I’LL TEACH YOU STEP BY STEP THE KAILASA'S CULTURE, KAILASA'S TRUTHS, KAILASA'S SPACE, KAILASA'S REVELATIONS LISTEN INTENSELY. I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THIS WHOLE TRUTH, THIS MOKSHA-CENTRIC LIFE. YOUR WHOLE LIFE SHOULD BECOME MOKSHA-CENTRIC. SEE, YOUR WHOLE DAY SOMEHOW GOES IN CONSTANTLY BRAINWASHING YOU TO LIVE THIS WORLD-CENTRIC; FOCUSED ON THIS WORLD, MATERIALISTIC MENTALITY, LIFESTYLE, IDEOLOGY, PHILOSOPHY, MATERIALISTIC-CENTERED. MATERIALISTIC IDEOLOGY, MATERIALISM-CENTERED DHARMA, ARTHA, KAMA, MOKSHA, ALL ARE FAKE. LISTEN. YOU SHOULD KNOW THE BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MATERIALISM AND MOKSHA-CENTRIC LIFE. SEE, HOW THE SOCIETY TEACHES A BODY-MIND COMBO, AND THAT YOU NEED TO WORK HARD, EARN THIS STEP BY STEP. IF YOU APPLY THAT PHILOSOPHY TO DHARMA, ARTHA, KAMA, MOKSHA, IN ALL FOUR, YOU WILL BE A SLAVE FOREVER AND FAILURE FOREVER. IF YOU SHIFT THE WHOLE UNDERSTANDING, MAKE IT MOKSHA-CENTRIC. MOKSHA-CENTRIC DHARMA, MOKSHA-CENTRIC ARTHA, YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN EVERYTHING. THE BEST TIME TO DO THIS SHIFT IS NIGHT TIME. VARIOUS REASONS, I CAN GIVE YOU 108 REASONS. BECAUSE... YOUR DAY TIME IS ALREADY TAKEN AWAY. HOW MUCH EVER I MAY TELL YOU, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GIVE YOUR DAY TIME FOR THIS ULTIMATE. YOUR DAY TIME IS LOST IN ENDLESS DISTRACTIONS. YOU ARE BRAINWASHED TO LIVE IN ENDLESS DISTRACTION. THE WHOLE ECOSYSTEM YOU ARE MADE TO BE IN DURING THE DAY TIME… WHICHEVER COUNTRY YOU ARE IN... NO COUNTRY IS AN EXEMPTION... WHICHEVER COUNTRY YOU ARE IN, YOUR DAY TIME, YOU ARE BRAINWASHED TO BE IN THE ECOSYSTEM OF MATERIALISM, HALF- TRUTHS, FALSE NARRATIVES. YOUR WHOLE ECOSYSTEM MAKES YOU FEEL, YOUR ACTIONS AND REACTION TOWARDS YOUR FEAR WILL BRING YOU SECURITY; THE ENDLESS DISTRACTIONS ARE THE PLEASURE. HOW MANY FAKE NARRATIVES ARE PEDDLED AND YOU ARE BRAINWASHED AND YOU ALSO START LIVING, BELIEVING UNQUESTIONED ASSUMPTIONS. SUCH LARGE BLIND SPOTS LARGER THAN THE BLACK HOLE. LIKE HOW THE BLACK HOLE SUCKS THE WHOLE PLANETS INTO IT, THE BLIND SPOTS YOU CARRY SUCK YOUR WHOLE LIFE INTO IT. THE WRONG IDEAS ABOUT THE BOREDOM AND TIREDNESS, WRONG IDEAS ABOUT LONELINESS, LOVE. UNQUESTIONED ASSUMPTIONS LEAD TO WRONG LIFESTYLE, FOOD ADDICTIONS AND WHAT NOT. BEST PRACTICAL WAY IS JUST GIVE YOUR NIGHT TIME TO ME. I WILL SHIFT YOUR WHOLE ENERGY AND GIVE YOU ENLIGHTENMENT. IT'S MY COMMITMENT. THIS WHOLE SHIVARATRI IS ALL ABOUT AWAKENING YOU TO HOW TO USE THE NIGHT TO MANIFEST ONENESS WITH SHIVA. TODAY THE WHOLE SATSANG IS GOING TO BE HOW TO USE YOUR NIGHT THE BEST WAY TO BECOME MOKSHA-CENTRIC. YOUR WHOLE BRAIN, BODY, MIND, CONSCIOUSNESS, EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE REWIRED TO EXPERIENCE ONENESS WITH PARAMASHIVA, TO EXPERIENCE PARAMADVAITA. SO I WILL REVEAL THESE TRUTHS ONE BY ONE. LISTEN INTENSELY. PRADHEERAATRAM MAHATKOON KARMA VISHWASYA KURVASI NAJAANAASI SWAYAMTHASYA RAHASYAM PARAMAATBHUTHAM NIGHTLY DISAPPEARANCE AND MYSTERY OF SLEEP. EVERY NIGHT YOU PERFORM THE MOST MYSTERIOUS ACT IN THE UNIVERSE AND YOU DON'T EVEN REALIZE IT. YOU LIE DOWN, CLOSE YOUR EYES, AND THEN YOU VANISH. NOT YOUR BODY, BUT YOU -THE ONE WHO THINKS, ONE WHO REMEMBERS ABOUT HIMSELF, WORRIES, PLANS, REMEMBERS, LIVES, SIMPLY DISAPPEARS. HERE IS WHAT YOU REALLY NEED TO WAKE UP TO. YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHERE YOU GO TONIGHT. PRADHEERAATRAM MAHATKOON KARMA VISHWASYA KURVASI NAJAANAASI SWAYAMTHASYA RAHASYAM PARAMAATBHUTHAM.

YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHERE YOU GO TONIGHT. WHEN YOU SURRENDER TO SLEEP, YOU WILL DISSOLVE INTO SOMETHING SO PROFOUND, SO UTTERLY BEYOND YOUR DAILY UNDERSTANDING THAT IF YOU TRULY GRASPED WHAT HAPPENS, YOU WOULD NEVER TAKE CONSCIOUSNESS FOR GRANTED AGAIN. ONLY ONCE YOU UNDERSTAND THESE TRUTHS BEFORE SHIVARATRI, YOU WILL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN. EVERY NIGHT WILL BE SHIVARATRI. BUT YOU HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED TO TREAT THIS DAILY DEATH AND RESURRECTION AS ORDINARY, HOW FASCINATING THAT THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY YOU WILL EVER TAKE HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE NIGHT AND YOU HAVE BEEN SLEEP-WALKING THROUGH IT YOUR ENTIRE LIFE.

NOW LET'S BEGIN WITH SOMETHING RATHER UNSETTLING: EVERY EVENING YOU PERFORM WHAT AMOUNTS TO VOLUNTARY SUICIDE. I'M NOT BEING DRAMATIC. I'M BEING PRECISE. THINK ABOUT IT. WHAT YOU CALL YOURSELF AS THINKING, EXPERIENCING, BEING WILLINGLY, STEPS INTO OBLIVION. SEE, WE HAVE BECOME SO ACCUSTOMED TO THIS NIGHTLY DISAPPEARANCE THAT WE HAVE STOPPED NOTICING HOW ABSOLUTELY EXTRAORDINARY IT IS. YOUR THOUGHTS STOP. YOUR SENSE OF TIME EVAPORATES. YOUR PRECIOUS IDENTITY, ALL THOSE OPINIONS, MEMORIES, AND CONCERNS YOU CLUTCH SO TIGHTLY SIMPLY DISSOLVES.

WHAT HAPPENS AND WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN? SO LISTEN CAREFULLY. YOUR PRECIOUS IDENTITY, ALL THOSE OPINIONS, MEMORIES AND CONCERNS YOU CLUTCH SO TIGHTLY, SIMPLY DISSOLVE. YET SOMEHOW, MYSTERIOUSLY SOMETHING CONTINUES, SOMETHING THAT IS NOT QUITE YOU, BUT IS NOT QUITE ‘NOT YOU’ EITHER. SEE, IF I ASK ‘WHO IS IN THE NIGH?’ YOU CAN'T SAY YOU AND YOU CAN'T SAY YOU ARE NOT. SO SOMETHING THAT IS NOT QUITE YOU BUT IS NOT QUITE NOT YOU EITHER! IT'S AS IF EVERY NIGHT YOU ARE GIVEN A DEMONSTRATION OF WHAT BUDDHISTS CALL AS VOID AND WHAT HINDUS CALL AS PURNA, WHAT BUDDHISTS CALL AS SHUNYA, WHAT HINDUS CALL AS PURNA; THAT SPACE OF PURE BEING THAT EXISTS WHEN THE EGO TAKES A HOLIDAY. BUT HERE IS WHAT IS TRULY FASCINATING. WE TREAT THIS DAILY MIRACLE AS THOUGH IT WERE NOTHING MORE THAN MAINTENANCE, LIKE CHARGING A BATTERY OR DEFRAGMENTING A COMPUTER. HOW WONDERFULLY WE HAVE MANAGED TO MAKE THE MYSTICAL INTO MUNDANE, ORDINARY. THIS IS THE BIGGEST BLIND SPOT. BIGGEST BLIND SPOT IS GOING THROUGH THIS CONSCIOUS PORTAL CALLED SLEEP EVERY NIGHT AND NEVER BOTHERED ABOUT IT, NEVER EVEN BOTHERED TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT IT. RATIRI SUKTAM. IN VEDA WE HAVE A CHAPTER CALLED RATRI SUKTAM. THIS WHOLE TODAY'S SATSANG IS THE BHASHYA ON RATRI SUKTAM. THAT'S THE TRUTH. I'M GIVING YOU THE BHASHYA ON RATRI SUKTAM, REVEALING TO YOU THE DEEPER SECRETS. SEE, YOGA VASISHTA SAYS, ESHA JAAGARTHI SUKTHAANAAM PRAHATRAYA VIVEKINAAM HAARATYA PADAMAARTHAANAAM VIDHARATYA MAHAATMANAAM. THIS SELF REMAINS AWAKE AMONG THOSE WHO ARE ASLEEP. IT STRIKES THE UN-DISCERNING, REMOVES CALAMITY FROM THE DISTRESSED, AND BESTOWS GRACE UPON THOSE WHO ARE NOT GREAT-SOULED… MEANS, EVEN FOR ORDINARY PEOPLE.

WHAT VANISHES AND THE PARADOX OF EXISTING WITHOUT IDENTITY...NOW LET'S EXAMINE THIS DISAPPEARING ACT MORE CLOSELY. WHAT EXACTLY VANISHES WHEN YOU FALL ASLEEP? YOUR NAME DOES NOT MATTER ANYMORE. YOUR JOB, YOUR RELATIONSHIPS, YOUR ENDLESS TO-DO LISTS GONE. YOUR ENDLESS DISTRACTIONS ARE GONE. ALL THOSE THINGS YOU THINK DEFINE YOU - YOUR WEALTH, YOUR IDENTITY, YOUR RELATIONSHIPS, YOUR JOB, YOUR BANK BALANCE SIMPLY ARE NOT THERE! THE PERSON WHO HAS WORRIED ABOUT TOMORROW'S MEETING, WHO REMEMBERED YESTERDAY'S CONVERSATION, WHO HAS OPINIONS ABOUT POLITICS AND PREFERENCES ABOUT COFFEE, ABOUT THE FOOD… ENTIRE CONSTRUCTION JUST STOPS! IT'S A MOST COMPLETE ‘FORGETTING’ IMAGINABLE, POSSIBLE! AND YET, CURIOUSLY, YOU DON'T EXPERIENCE THIS AS A LOSS OR A DEATH. THERE IS NO SENSE OF TRAGEDY IN DEEP SLEEP, NO MOURNING FOR THE VANISHED SELF. WHY? BECAUSE THE ONE WHO COULD MOURN HAS ALSO DISAPPEARED. THIS IS WHAT I FIND DELICIOUSLY PARADOXICAL! EVERY NIGHT YOU PROVE THAT YOU CAN EXIST PERFECTLY WELL WITHOUT HAVING YOUR IDENTITY, WITHOUT BEING YOUR EGO, YOUR IDENTITY, YOUR SELF. IN FACT, YOU MIGHT SAY, YOU EXIST MORE PURELY, MORE ESSENTIALLY, WHEN ALL PSYCHOLOGICAL FURNITURE HAS BEEN CLEARED AWAY.

IF YOU CAN BE SO COMPLETELY WITHOUT YOUR IDENTITY EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, WHAT DOES THAT TELL ABOUT THE REALITY OF THIS IDENTITY YOU DEFEND SO FIERCELY DURING THE DAY? LESS THAN JUST DUST! LESS THAN JUST ASH. COULD IT BE WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, IS FAR MORE OPTIONAL THAN YOU HAVE BEEN LED TO BELIEVE BY THE SOCIETY? THE BRAINWASHING, CONDITIONING OF THE SOCIETY HAS LED YOU TO BELIEVE MANY WRONG THINGS ABOUT EVERYTHING INCLUDING ABOUT YOU. LISTEN. THIS IS WHAT I FIND DELICIOUSLY PARADOXICAL! EVERY NIGHT YOU PROVE YOU CAN EXIST PERFECTLY WITHOUT BEING YOURSELF. SO, YOU NEED TO REALIZE, MAY BE, COULD IT BE THAT WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE IS FAR MORE OPTIONAL THAN WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN LED TO BELIEVE?

OBSERVER DISSOLVES INTO OBSERVING. NOW WE ARRIVE AT SOMETHING TRULY PUZZLING. DURING WAKING HOURS THERE IS ALWAYS THIS SENSE OF SOMEONE WATCHING. IS IT AN OBSERVER BEHIND YOUR EYES? A WITNESS TO YOUR THOUGHTS? A CONSTANT COMPANION WHO NEVER SEEMS TO SLEEP. YOU MIGHT CALL IT CONSCIOUSNESS, AWARENESS OR OBSERVER OR SIMPLY YOU, I. THIS WATCHER IS SO PERSISTENT, SO RELIABLE THAT YOU HAVE PROBABLY NEVER QUESTIONED ITS PERMANENCE. IT IS THERE WHEN YOU ARE HAPPY, IT IS THERE WHEN YOU ARE SAD, IT IS THERE WHEN YOU ARE BORED, IT IS THERE WHEN YOU ARE EXCITED. IT IS THE ONE CONSTANT IN THE EVER CHANGING EXPERIENCE. BUT THEN SLEEP ARRIVES AND THIS ETERNAL OBSERVER WHO IS SUPPOSEDLY A PERMANENT WITNESS SIMPLY IS NOT THERE. THAT WOULD IMPLY SOMETHING IS THERE WHICH IS UNDERSTOOD TO BE UNCONSCIOUS BUT NOT ABSENT. THAT WOULD SUGGEST A PLACE FROM WHICH IT IS MISSING.

SEE IT'S MORE MYSTERIOUS THAN THAT. THE WATCHER ITSELF DISSOLVES INTO WATCHING. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? WELL, IT SUGGESTS SOMETHING RATHER REVOLUTIONARY ABOUT THE NATURE OF CONSCIOUSNESS ITSELF. PERHAPS THIS OBSERVER YOU THINK YOU ARE, IS NOT QUITE AS SOLID, AS PERMANENT, AS FUNDAMENTAL AS YOU HAVE BEEN ASSUMING, AS YOU HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED, AS YOU HAVE BEEN CONDITIONED BY UNCONSCIOUS SOCIETY. INSTEAD OF EXPLORING ALL THESE GREAT OBVIOUS TRUTHS AND QUESTIONS IN FRONT OF US, INSTEAD OF TEACHING THIS TO OUR NEXT GENERATION IN THE SCHOOL AS THE PRELIMINARY EDUCATION, WE GO ON TEACHING STUPID THINGS, ESPECIALLY THINGS WHICH ARE NEVER GOING TO BE USEFUL IN OUR DAY-TO-DAY LIFE, WHICH HAS NO MEANING OR RELEVANCE FOR OUR LIVING. NEVER YOU HAVE BEEN MADE TO THINK, MADE TO QUESTION YOUR IDENTITY OR CONSCIOUSNESS. MAYBE THE CONSCIOUSNESS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU HAVE BUT SOMETHING YOU TEMPORARILY APPEAR IN, LIKE A WAVE APPEARING IN OCEAN. PERHAPS THE OBSERVER YOU THINK YOU ARE, IS NOT QUITE AS SOLID, AS PERMANENT, AS FUNDAMENTAL AS YOU HAVE BEEN ASSUMING. WHEN SLEEP COMES, THE WAVE SUBSIDES BACK INTO THE OCEAN. BUT THE OCEAN ITSELF, THAT REMAINS. THE QUESTION IS, WHAT IS THIS OCEAN.. IS LESS THAN OR GREATER THAN? ACTUALLY THIS WHOLE THING... TODAY'S SATSANG IS COMMENTARY - BHASHYA ON RATRI SUKTA; DEEPER REVELATIONS FROM RATRI SUKTA.

DREAMS! NOW HERE IS WHAT SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BAFFLE YOU. IF YOU ARE UNCONSCIOUS, IF THE SELF HAS DISSOLVED, WHO EXACTLY IS CREATING THESE ELABORATE DREAMS? WHO IS WRITING THE SCRIPT? WHO IS CASTING THE CHARACTERS? WHO IS DESIGNING THE SETS? AND MOST MYSTERIOUSLY OF ALL, WHO IS WATCHING THE SHOW? IN YOUR DREAMS, YOU MEET PEOPLE YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN, YOU VISIT PLACES THAT DON'T EXIST, YOU HAVE CONVERSATIONS YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER HAD, THE CREATIVITY IS ASTOUNDING, THE DETAIL IS REMARKABLE, THE DREAMING MIND CONSTRUCTS ENTIRE WORLDS COMPLETE WITH THE PHYSICS, RELATIONSHIPS, THE STORY-LINES THAT CAN BE MORE COMPELLING THAN ANY HOLLYWOOD PRODUCTION! BUT THE DREAMER, THE ONE WHO WOULD NORMALLY TAKE CREDIT FOR SUCH CREATIVITY IS SUPPOSEDLY ABSENT! IT'S AS THOUGH SHAKESPEARE PLAYS WERE BEING WRITTEN BY SOMEONE WHO HAD COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN THEY WERE SHAKESPEARE. AND HERE IS THE MOST FASCINATING PART: IN THE DREAM, YOU BELIEVE IT IS ALL REAL, YOU ARE CONVINCED THAT DREAM-YOU IS REAL YOU, THAT DREAM-WORLD IS REAL WORLD. THE ILLUSION IS PERFECT UNTIL YOU WAKE UP. NOW THIS SHOULD MAKE YOU PAUSE. IF CONSCIOUSNESS CAN CREATE SUCH CONVINCING REALITIES WHILE YOU ARE ABSENT, WHAT MAKES YOU SO CERTAIN THAT THIS WAKING REALITY IS NOT JUST ANOTHER KIND OF DREAM? PERHAPS ONE BEING DREAMED BY SOMETHING FAR MORE VAST THAN YOUR INDIVIDUAL MIND? IT IS DREAMED BY SOMETHING FAR MORE VAST THAN YOUR INDIVIDUAL MIND?

LISTEN. LET'S VENTURE INTO THE MOST MYSTERIOUS TERRITORY OF ALL WHICH YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAUGHT AT THE AGE OF 5 TO VENTURE. BY THE AGE OF 5, YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEEP SLEEP, DREAMING AND WAKING STATE. TILL THE AGE OF 3 YOU DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE CLEARLY. THAT IS WHY MANY TIMES, EVEN AFTER EATING FULLY, KIDS START CRYING IN THE DREAM STATE WHEN THEY FEEL THE HUNGER IN THE DREAM. KIDS REACT IN A CONFUSED WAY. FOR THINGS HAPPENED IN THE DREAM, THEY REACT IN WAKING STATE. FOR THINGS HAPPENED IN THE WAKING STATE THEY REACT IN THE DREAM BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW THE CLEAR MARK IN THE BOUNDARY, TERRITORY. BUT BY THE AGE OF 5 YOU KNOW IT. BY 5, ANY INTELLIGENT SOCIETY SHOULD HAVE STARTED TEACHING YOU AND MADE YOU QUESTION, UNDERSTAND THIS WHOLE DREAM, DEEP SLEEP AND WAKING STATE. BUT THE SOCIETY IS TOO BUSY IN BRAINWASHING YOU AND MAKING YOU A SLAVE OF THE CHRONIC CAPITALISTIC LEADERS WHO ARE TRYING TO MAKE A WORKER OUT OF YOU. EACH RELIGIOUS LEADER TRIES TO MAKE A RELIGIOUS FOLLOWER OUT OF YOU. SOCIETY IS TRYING TO MAKE YOU A BEST SLAVE OUT OF YOU. MOTHER IS TRYING TO MAKE GOOD SON. FATHER IS TRYING TO MAKE GOOD SON. EVERYONE IS TRYING TO MAKE WHAT THEY WANT FROM YOU, THE PERSONALITY THEY WANT AS YOU. NOBODY IS INTERESTED IN YOUR ENLIGHTENMENT, NOBODY IS INTERESTED IN ‘YOU’. A REAL SOCIETY WHICH IS INTERESTED IN YOU, BY THE AGE OF 5, SHOULD HAVE MADE YOU START THINKING, EXPLORING THIS DEEP SLEEP AND DREAM, THIS WHOLE TERRITORY. LET'S VENTURE INTO THE MOST MYSTERIOUS TERRITORY OF ALL: DEEP SLEEP... THOSE HOURS WHEN EVEN DREAMS DON'T VISIT, WHEN YOU EXIST IN A STATE SO PROFOUND THAT NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING. THIS IS WHERE THINGS BECOME TRULY MIND-BENDING. IN DEEP SLEEP, THERE ARE NO THOUGHTS, NO SENSATIONS, NO EXPERIENCES OF ANY KIND, NO TIME, NO SPACE, NO SELF, NO OTHER. AND YET, YET SOMETHING IS THERE! HOW DO I KNOW? BECAUSE YOU WAKE UP REFRESHED. BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU HAVE SLEPT WELL. BECAUSE THERE IS A CLEAR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 8 HOURS OF DEEP SLEEP AND 8 HOURS OF TOSSING AND TURNING. IF THERE WAS TRULY NOTHING THERE, HOW COULD THERE BE ANY QUALITATIVE DIFFERENCE AT ALL? THIS IS WHAT I CALL THE DEEP SLEEP PARADOX: PURE BEING WITHOUT ANY CONTENT WHATSOEVER. EXISTENCE WITHOUT EXPERIENCE. IT'S LIKE A THEATRE WITH THE LIGHTS OFF, THE AUDIENCE GONE, THE ACTORS DEPARTED, YET SOMEHOW MYSTERIOUSLY THE SHOW GOES ON. THE MYSTICS HAVE A WORD FOR THIS STATE. THEY CALL IT KAARANA SAREERA. CAUSAL BODY. KAARANA SAREERA; THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL OF YOUR BEING. IT IS YOU WITHOUT ANY QUALITIES, YOU WITHOUT ANY ATTRIBUTES, YOU WITHOUT EVEN THE SENSE OF BEING YOU. IN MEDITATION, IN PHILOSOPHY, IN RELIGION, YOU EXPERIENCE IT NATURALLY EVERY TIME YOU FALL INTO DEEP SLEEP. THE COSMIC JOKE IS THAT ENLIGHTENMENT PUTS YOU TO SLEEP - YOUR EXISTENCE AWARE OF ITSELF WITHOUT NEEDING TO THINK ABOUT IT. WHAT IS SHOCKING IS THAT YOU VISIT THIS STATE OF PERFECT PEACE, PERFECT WHOLENESS, PERFECT BEING EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. THE VERY THING YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR.

NOW, WE ARE APPROACHING SOMETHING THAT MIGHT DISTURB YOUR CAREFULLY CONSTRUCTED SENSE OF SELF, BECAUSE WHAT SLEEP REVEALS IS THIS: CONSCIOUSNESS DOES NOT NEED YOU TO EXIST. LISTEN CAREFULLY. IT'S VERY HURTING BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT NEEDED! YOU ARE NOT NEEDED! EVERY NIGHT YOUR CHERISHED PERSONAL IDENTITY, YOUR NAME, YOUR HISTORY, YOUR PERSONALITY, YOUR PREFERENCES, YOUR RIGHT, WRONG, GOOD, BAD, COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR….YOUR STRONG OPINIONS, STRONG IDEOLOGY, STRONG POLICIES….AND YET, AWARENESS ITSELF CONTINUES. IT'S LIKE DISCOVERING THAT THE LIGHT IN YOUR ROOM DOES NOT ACTUALLY BELONG TO THE LAMP; THE LAMP JUST TEMPORARILY SHAPES AND FOCUSES A LIGHT THAT EXISTS INDEPENDENTLY. DURING SLEEP, CONSCIOUSNESS FLOWS FREELY, UN-CONTAINED, BY THE BOUNDARIES OF YOUR EGO. IT'S NO LONGER YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS. IT IS SIMPLY CONSCIOUSNESS ITSELF PLAYING THROUGH THE INSTRUMENT OF YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM LIKE A WIND THROUGH A FLUTE… LIKE A WIND THROUGH THE FLUTE... THE FLUTE DOES NOT OWN THE WIND. IT JUST GIVES IT TEMPORARY FORM AND MELODY. THIS IS WHAT THE ANCIENTS MEANT WHEN THEY SPOKE OF THE UNIVERSAL MIND, THE COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS, THE BUDDHA NATURE. THEY WERE NOT TALKING ABOUT SOME GRAND OTHERWORLDLY CONCEPT. THEY WERE POINTING OF WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE EVERY SINGLE NIGHT WHEN YOUR INDIVIDUAL AWARENESS DISSOLVES BACK INTO THE OCEAN OF PURE BEING – A BEAUTIFUL AND TERRIFYING REALIZATION. WHAT YOU CALL YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS WAS NEVER REALLY YOURS TO BEGIN WITH. YOU ARE NOT A SEPARATE BEING HAVING CONSCIOUS EXPERIENCES. YOU ARE CONSCIOUSNESS ITSELF TEMPORARILY DREAMING THAT IT'S A SEPARATE BEING. THE WAVE IS NOT SEPARATE FROM THE OCEAN. IT'S THE OCEAN EXPRESSING ITSELF AS A WAVE. AND EVERY NIGHT IN SLEEP, YOU RETURN TO YOUR OCEANIC NATURE. SWABHAAVA. YOU BECOME WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN, BUT TEMPORARILY FORGET YOU WERE. REASSEMBLING WHICH HAPPENS IN THE MORNING AND THE DEEPER INTELLIGENCE BEHIND REASSEMBLING... LET'S UNDERSTAND ABOUT THAT. LISTEN.

LISTEN. LET'S EXAMINE SOMETHING EQUALLY MYSTERIOUS. HOW YOU MANAGE TO REASSEMBLE YOURSELF EACH MORNING... THIS IS TOO IMPORTANT. SEE, ONLY IF YOU UNDERSTAND HOW YOU REASSEMBLE EVERY MORNING, YOU CAN UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAN BRING THE BEST THINGS OF YOUR SUSHUPTI STATE INTO YOUR WAKING STATE AND HOW YOU CAN MAKE THE BEST USE OF YOUR SUSHUPTI STATE IN YOUR WAKING STATE. LET'S EXAMINE SOMETHING POWERFUL, VERY MYSTERIOUS, HOW YOU MANAGE TO REASSEMBLE YOURSELF EACH MORNING... BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS ISN'T IT? AFTER HOURS OF COMPLETE DISSOLUTION, SOMEHOW ALL THE PIECES OF YOUR IDENTITY MAGICALLY COME BACK TOGETHER AGAIN! WATCH THIS PROCESS CAREFULLY THE NEXT TIME YOU WAKE UP. FIRST, THERE'S JUST PURE AWARENESS; NO SENSE OF BEING ANYONE IN PARTICULAR; NO MEMORY OF YESTERDAY; NO ANTICIPATION OF TODAY; JUST CONSCIOUSNESS AWAKENING TO ITSELF LIKE THE FIRST LIGHT OF DAWN. THEN GRADUALLY THE FAMILIAR STRUCTURES BEGIN TO REASSEMBLE: OH YES, I AM THIS, THIS, MY NAME. I LIVE IN THIS HOUSE. I HAVE THIS JOB. I WAS PLANNING ABOUT THIS MEETING. LAYER BY LAYER, MEMORY BY MEMORY. THE PSYCHOLOGICAL SELF REBUILDS ITSELF FROM WHAT EXACTLY? FROM NOTHING BUT PURE POTENTIAL. FROM KARANA SARIRA YOU ARE REBUILDING YOUR IDENTITY AGAIN. IT'S LIKE WATCHING A MAGICIAN PULL AN ENTIRE PERSONALITY OUT OF AN EMPTY HAT. AND THE MOST FASCINATING PART IS, YOU DO THIS RECONSTRUCTION SO AUTOMATICALLY, SO SWIFTLY THAT YOU NEVER STOP TO WONDER WHO IS DOING THIS REBUILDING1 YOU TAKE THIS FOR GRANTED. IF YOU ARE TRULY GONE DURING SLEEP, WHO REMEMBERS HOW TO BE BACK TOGETHER? IF YOUR IDENTITY WAS GENUINELY DISSOLVED, WHAT FORCE KNOWS EXACTLY WHICH THOUGHTS, WHICH MEMORIES, WHICH PERSONALITY TRAITS BELONG TO YOU? THE ANSWER IS BOTH SIMPLE YET PROFOUND. SIMPLE AND PROFOUND! IT IS THE SAME INTELLIGENCE THAT GROWS YOUR HAIR, BEATS YOUR HEART AND DIGESTS YOUR FOOD; THE SAME WISDOM THAT KNOWS EXACTLY HOW TO TRANSFORM A SEED INTO A FLOWER WITHOUT ANY CONSCIOUS EFFORT ON THE SEED’S PART. YOUR EGO DOES NOT RECONSTRUCT ITSELF. IT IS RECONSTRUCTED BY A FAR DEEPER INTELLIGENCE THAT YOU RARELY ACKNOWLEDGE OR EVEN UNDERSTAND. LOOK IN. THE SAME PROCESS IS HAPPENING NOW IN WAKING LIFE!

EVERYTHING I HAVE BEEN DESCRIBING ABOUT DEEP SLEEP, THE DISSOLUTION OF IDENTITY, THE FLOW OF CONSCIOUSNESS WITHOUT A CONTAINER, THE MYSTERIOUS INTELLIGENCE THAT OPERATES WITHOUT A SUPERVISION…. ALL THIS IS NOT JUST HAPPENING AT NIGHT, IT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, IN WHAT YOU CALL AS YOUR WAKING LIFE! YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE ONLY BETWEEN SLEEPING CONSCIOUSNESS AND WAKING CONSCIOUSNESS, IS THAT IN WAKING, THERE IS A PERSISTENT ILLUSION OF SOMEONE IN-CHARGE. THE EGO STEPS IN AND CLAIMS OWNERSHIP OF THE ENTIRE PROCESS: I AM THINKING THESE THOUGHTS, I AM MAKING THESE DECISIONS, I AM LIVING THIS LIFE. BUT LOOK MORE CLOSELY. DID YOU DECIDE TO HAVE THAT THOUGHT THAT JUST OCCURRED TO YOU? DID YOU CHOOSE TO FALL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE OR SOME THINGS OR DID IT HAPPEN TO YOU? DO YOU CONTROL YOUR HEARTBEAT, YOUR DIGESTION, YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM? ARE YOU ACTIVELY MANAGING THE INCREDIBLE COMPLEXITY OF YOUR CELLULAR METABOLISM RIGHT NOW? THE SAME MYSTERIOUS INTELLIGENCE THAT OPERATES DURING SLEEP, CREATING DREAMS, MAINTAINING THE BODY, ORGANIZING MEMORY IS OPERATING RIGHT NOW. YOU ARE NOT JUST GIVING IT CREDIT. BECAUSE THE SOCIETY HAS BRAINWASHED THAT YOU HAVE AN EGO AND THAT EGO HAS CONVINCED YOU THAT YOU ARE THE ONE RUNNING THE SHOW. THE SOCIETY'S CONDITIONING AND BRAINWASHING HAS GONE SO DEEP INTO YOU, IT CREATED THE FAKE IDENTITY CALLED EGO. AND THAT EGO IS CONVINCING YOU, THAT EGO IS RUNNING THE SHOW. BUT WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT WAKING LIFE IS JUST ANOTHER KIND OF DREAM? A DREAM IN WHICH CONSCIOUSNESS DREAMS? IT'S A SEPARATE INDIVIDUAL HAVING EXPERIENCES, MAKING CHOICES, LIVING A LIFE; A DREAM SO CONVINCING THAT THE DREAMER COMPLETELY FORGETS HE IS DREAMING. DREAMER DREAMS THE DREAMER. THAT DREAMER DREAMS THE DREAM.

UNDERSTAND, THESE 4 STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS, YOU CAN GET AWAKENED RIGHT NOW. THE RISHIS HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN IT. THAT IS WHY THEY SPEAK OF AWAKENING - THE FOURTH STATE, TURIYA. NOT AWAKENING FROM SLEEP, BUT AWAKENING FROM THE DREAM OF BEING A SEPARATE SELF; AWAKENING TO WHAT YOU DISCOVER EVERY NIGHT IN DEEP SLEEP THAT YOU ARE NOT A PERSON HAVING CONSCIOUSNESS BUT CONSCIOUSNESS ITSELF PLAYING AT BEING A PERSON. WHAT I HAVE BEEN SHARING WITH YOU IS NOT NEW. YOU KNOW THE ANCIENT TRADITIONS HAVE BEEN POINTING TO THIS MYSTERY FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. THEY CALLED IT BY DIFFERENT NAMES: BRAHMAN, THE TAO, BUDDHA NATURE, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN WITHIN, BUT THEY WERE ALL DESCRIBING THE SAME THING YOU VISIT EVERY NIGHT IN DEEP SLEEP. THE UPANISHADS SPOKE OF 4 STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS - WAKING, DREAMING, DEEP SLEEP AND THE FOURTH TURIYA. THIS FOURTH STATE IS NOT REALLY A STATE AT ALL, BUT THE UNCHANGING AWARENESS THAT WITNESSES ALL OTHER STATES; THE SCREEN ON WHICH THE MOVIES OF WAKING, DREAMING AND SLEEPING, ALL PLAY. WHAT THE SAGES DISCOVERED IS THAT THIS WITNESSING AWARENESS, THIS PURE CONSCIOUSNESS THAT REMAINS CONSTANT THROUGH ALL YOUR CHANGING EXPERIENCES, THIS IS WHAT YOU ACTUALLY ARE, NOT THE TEMPORARY WAVE OF PERSONALITY, BUT THE ETERNAL OCEAN OF BEING ITSELF. THEY REALIZE THAT THE JOURNEY INTO SLEEP EACH NIGHT IS ACTUALLY A JOURNEY HOME; A RETURN TO YOUR ORIGINAL NATURE, YOUR TRUE SELF, YOUR DEEPEST IDENTITY, NOT THE SMALL SELF WITH ITS ENDLESS PROBLEMS AND PURSUITS, BUT THE VAST SELF THAT HAS NO PROBLEMS BECAUSE IT HAS NO BOUNDARIES. VEDIC RISHIS PUT IT BEAUTIFULLY. THEY SAID, ENLIGHTENMENT IS LIKE AWAKENING FROM A DREAM IN WHICH YOU DREAMED YOU WERE SOMEONE OTHER THAN WHO YOU REALLY ARE. AND WHAT YOU REALLY ARE IS WHAT REMAINS WHEN ALL THE DREAMING STOPS; PURE AWARENESS, INFINITE POTENTIAL, CONSCIOUSNESS WITHOUT LIMITS. LISTEN. LISTEN CAREFULLY. TODAY'S SATSANG IS VERY POWERFUL. YOU NEED TO LISTEN AT LEAST 2-3 TIMES. LISTEN TO IT AT LEAST 2-3 TIMES. GO THROUGH IT. I'LL GIVE YOU NOW THE ESSENCE, IMPLICATIONS FOR DAILY LIFE AND THE SACRED JOURNEY INTO SLEEP.

ALL THE TRADITIONS OF SANATANA HINDU DHARMA ALWAYS FOCUS ON THE TRANSITION INTO SLEEP. SEE, IN SHAIVA IN AGAMAS, IN SHAKTA TANTRAS, AND VAISHNAVA TANTRAS, BAUDDHA, JAINA, SMARTA, IN ALL GREAT TRADITIONS OF SANATANA HINDU DHARMA, ALWAYS FOCUS ON THE TRANSITION INTO SLEEP. THEY ARE TRYING TO JUMP INTO CONSCIOUSNESS WHILE THE EGO DISSOLVES TO THE WITNESS - THE VERY PROCESS YOU EXPERIENCE UNCONSCIOUSLY EVERY NIGHT... TO SEE DIRECTLY HOW THE INDIVIDUAL SELF ARISES FROM AND DISSOLVES BACK INTO THE UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS. THE SECRET THEY DISCOVERED IS THIS: YOU DON'T NEED TO ACHIEVE ENLIGHTENMENT. YOU DON'T NEED TO DO ANYTHING GREAT. YOU JUST NEED TO RECOGNIZE WHAT YOU ALREADY ARE, WHAT YOU ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE MOST PURELY EVERY NIGHT WHEN YOU STOP PRETENDING TO BE SOMEONE ELSE. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU? HOW DO YOU LIVE YOUR DAILY LIFE WELL? LISTEN! IT CHANGES EVERYTHING! YOU STILL WAKE UP, STILL BRUSH YOUR TEETH, STILL GO ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS, BUT NOW YOU KNOW SOMETHING PROFOUND ABOUT WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING. YOU BEGIN TO SEE THAT THIS PERSON YOU THINK YOU ARE WITH ALL ITS DRAMAS AND DESIRES, ITS FEARS AND FANTASIES IS NO MORE PERMANENT THAN A CHARACTER IN THE LAST NIGHT'S DREAM. FASCINATING. YES, ENGAGING. CERTAINLY. BUT ULTIMATELY, IT IS JUST ANOTHER TEMPORARY APPEARANCE IN CONSCIOUSNESS. I AM NOT SAYING YOUR LIFE IS MEANINGLESS. NO. IT'S QUITE OPPOSITE. IF YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR EGO IS MEANINGLESS, YOU WILL REALIZE YOUR LIFE AS A GRAND PURPOSE, MEANING, EXISTENCE. IT MAKES EVERY MOMENT INFINITELY PRECIOUS BECAUSE YOU ARE NO LONGER TRYING TO GET SOMEWHERE ELSE, BECOME SOMEONE ELSE, ACHIEVE SOMETHING ELSE. YOU BEGIN TO RECOGNIZE WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN SEEKING THROUGH ALL YOUR PURSUITS AND STRUGGLES IS WHAT YOU ALREADY ARE IN YOUR DEEPEST BEING. YOU START TO LIVE WITH WHAT I CALL DIVINE. DIVINE SAAKSHI BHAAVA. SEE, PARAMASHIVA, HE DOES ASATYA SADHAKAS, UNIMAGINABLE, UNTHINKABLE, IMPOSSIBLE THINGS. HE MAKES IT HAPPEN JUST BY HIS SIMPLE PRESENCE, MERE PRESENCE. HE DOES NOT GET INVOLVED IN ANYTHING, BUT HE MAKES EVERYTHING HAPPEN! PARAMASHIVA NEVER GETS INVOLVED IN ANYTHING. ULTIMATELY YOU WILL REALISE, YOU ARE THAT! YOU BEGIN TO RECOGNIZE THAT WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN SEEKING THROUGH ALL YOUR PURSUITS AND STRUGGLES IS WHAT YOU ALREADY ARE IN YOUR DEEPEST BEING. YOU START TO LIVE WITH THAT, WHAT I CALL THE ABSOLUTE DIVINE, SAKSHI BHAVA, CARING DEEPLY ABOUT LIFE WHILE HOLDING LIGHTLY TO ITS OUTCOMES. YOU MAKE EVERYTHING HAPPEN BUT YOU ARE NOT INVOLVED IN ANYTHING; LIKE AN ACTOR WHO PLAYS THEIR ROLE WITH COMPLETE COMMITMENT WHILE NEVER FORGETTING IT IS JUST A PLAY. THE NEXT TIME YOU LIE DOWN AND FALL ASLEEP, INSTEAD OF TREATING IT AS A MERE REST, RECOGNIZE IT AS A SACRED JOURNEY. NIDRA SAMADHI STITHI. NIDRA SAMADHI STITHI. IMPLICATIONS FOR DAILY LIFE AND THE SACRED JOURNEY INTO SLEEP... REALIZE THIS. IF YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR SLEEP IS A SACRED JOURNEY, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR DAILY LIFE AND THE SACRED JOURNEY INTO SLEEP, HOW IMPORTANT IT IS. YOU ARE ABOUT TO DISSOLVE BACK INTO YOUR TRUE NATURE, TO EXPERIENCE WHAT THE MYSTICS SPEND TIME, SPEND LIFETIME SEEKING - UNITY WITH THE ABSOLUTE ONENESS, PARAMADVAITA. AND YOU DO THIS EVERY SINGLE NIGHT AS NATURALLY AS BREATHING. WHEN YOU WAKE EACH MORNING, INSTEAD OF IMMEDIATELY GRABBING ON TO YOUR IDENTITY, TRY STAYING IN THAT SPACIOUS AWARENESS FOR JUST A MOMENT LONGER. FEEL HOW VAST AND PEACEFUL YOU ARE BEFORE YOU BECOME SOMEONE. AGAIN, THIS IS SAMADHI, DHYANA, NOT SOMETHING YOU DO, BUT WHAT YOU NATURALLY ARE WHEN YOU STOP DOING SO MUCH. SAMADHI IS NOT, YOU ENTER INTO SOMETHING, YOU ACHIEVE SOMETHING. NO. THE ACHIEVER, WHEN HE DISSOLVES, YOU DISSOLVE INTO SOMETHING; THAT IS SAMADHI. YOU RELAX INTO SOMETHING; THAT IS SAMADHI. YOU REST INTO SOMETHING; THAT IS SAMADHI. REMEMBER, CONSCIOUSNESS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU HAVE. YOU ARE SOMETHING CONSCIOUSNESS IS DOING! CONSCIOUSNESS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU HAVE, YOU ARE SOMETHING CONSCIOUSNESS IS DOING! AND EVERY NIGHT IN THE MYSTERY OF SLEEP, CONSCIOUSNESS TAKES A VACATION FROM BEING YOU AND SIMPLY ENJOYS BEING ITSELF! WHAT A MARVELOUS COSMIC JOKE THAT THE DEEPEST SPIRITUAL REALIZATION IS SOMETHING YOU EXPERIENCE EVERY SINGLE NIGHT AND WAKE UP FORGETTING EVERY SINGLE MORNING. BUT NOW YOU KNOW AND KNOWING THIS, HOW CAN YOU EVER TAKE THIS DREAM OF BEING SOMEONE QUITE SO SERIOUSLY AGAIN? NO! STOP TAKING IT SERIOUSLY. START BEING WITNESS. WITNESSING THE WITNESS, OBSERVING THE OBSERVER, BEING SAKSHI TO THE SAKSHI. PARAMADVAITA PRAPTIRASTU. I WILL CONTINUE FURTHER TRUTHS IN FURTHER SATSANGS. WITH THIS, I BLESS YOU ALL. PARAMADVAITA PRAPTIRASTU.
