Description:

In today’s morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) continues his discussion of authenticity with the example of Nachiketa, a young prince who saw his father behaving disrespectfully to the gods. Nachiketa took responsibility for his father’s inauthenticity – pretending to worship but not enacting the inward spirit of devotion. Without insulting his father, he wanted to protect him from falling out of integrity, so he offered himself to appease the gods. He acts as a team member for his father, a subject and supporter, not attempting to displace his king’s authority. Nithyananda warns his followers that anyone who believes himself to be a team leader is a failure: everyone stands authentically only as members of a team. This creates the possibility of peaceful co-existence with all humanity.

Satsang with Paramahamsa Nithyananda on 11th January 2013

Sadashiva Samarambham Gyanasambandhacharya madyamam

Asmadaacharya paryantam vande Guru Paramparam

I welcome all devotees, disciples , samajis , Satsaghhees, sitting with us .

Cities sitting with us in 2 way video conferencing having Nayanana deeksha.

I welcome you all with my love and respects.

If you don't tell Krishanth's name then he will send a face book message to me . You tell only akka's name, not me. Satisfying these kids is the biggest job. God! But I have taken up that responsibility. I am going to bring up all these kids by raising myself to their Anyakara.

So I welcome all of you with my love and blessings.

There are some more kids in Malaysia.

Premikananda. She will go on nagging me in the facebook. If she knows I am online that's all takatakataka..... 25 messages come before I attend one or two emails you see. Before I attend some messages, some 25 messages will come. And in half-n-hour she will miss me 25 times.I will say,"You should know your dad has some other work also. It’s not that he has only one daughter. But earlier I did not have this much of patience. Now I decided. I am going to handle them with all my patience. Little senior kids they understand. He is really really busy, small kids they don't understand but I decided I am going to cope up with even small kids.

Of course my gurukul kids are all Nachiketha, they never ask for attention. All over the world all of you should know all my Gurukul kids, each one of them are mentoring one one adheenamite, bramhachari or bramhacharini, most of the time 7 or 8 year old children are mentoring their father and mother.

Please understand and they are really doing well. That’s the beauty, they are really doing well. And they are able to transform my adheenamites which I am not able to do. Which I was struggling to do. So all the gurukul kids are ably assisting me in my sangha.

Understand. They are ably assisting me in my sangha and so I am going to take a inner Awakening 11 days for adheenamite, in that gurukul kids also will be participating. That 11 days no school for gurukul kids. They will be having directly sessions from me. What’s the dates Ma? 15th to 23 Jan. So Gurukul is already vacation. But some of them will be going to their homes

See, there are 2 batches. Jan 15th to 23rd one batch and Jan 28th to Feb 3rd second batch. Hmm.. See if your mentor is attending then you have to be in the same batch.

So if your child is in Gurukul understand, you are literally supporting my Sangha by giving one person from your life, from your family. Because they are very ably assisting me, in my mission. See my mission is all about having authenticity and integrity. It is not about any other efficiency. With authenticity, integrity and responsibility, the word efficiency is too small. You just explode. I also commit with my gurukul kids, within this year I will build the whole gurukul like Vasishta's gurukul. This is my commitment to the gurukul kids. The same type of landscape and the NDTV Ramayana had done a very good job by studying the original Ramayana and making that kind of a Landscape and ambiance available. We will also dig out the original Ramayana, Valmiki's Ramayana and get an ambiance built.

I think very soon I will be known for my gurukul. I am going to put that much of energy intelligence and time into it. And the infrastructure. Making infrastructure available. So beautiful.

Now I can see Oman-Sivagangai also. But again Kashi is missing. Where is he? Tell him Kalabhairava is calling.

Alright to day I have a very beautiful thing. The Bhagavad Gita printed edition of first

Three volumes, I am releasing. In Tamil. I sincerely congratulate and thank and bless my Tamil publication team for their hard work. Paripporani, Supriya and all the other editors, volunteers, please stand up. Give a good hand for them. Come forward ma. All Tamil publication.

Show in Nithyananda Tv .

Ma who else worked for Bhagavad-Gita? Balaji Printers. They are here? Please come forward.

I sincerely thank them and bless them for the wonderful work they have done.

You know, how much beating our Tamil publication department got? God! So many fellows cheated us. Swindled our money, books, printed, which we gave for printing, the money did not come back, so much of abuse and volunteers left. So much Tamil publication department suffered. But with all that, with authenticity and strength these guys stood up. Stood up and I know it is, this whole book is only, see from my side it is only my saliva, just words, I have not put any other effort. From their side it is their blood. They have put their blood, to get these books out. And I also wanted to tell you guys, don’t think only three volumes have come. All 18 are ready. It is getting printed. It is under printing no ma? 12 are ready.12 volumes are ready, they are getting printed. Very soon other 9 volumes will be out to be in your hands. I tell you guys, they have done amazing job. They have just done amazing job. It is too much. It’s really too much and I sincerely congratulate and bless the whole department. Great and one more thing the publication department they are also not able to give their whole time in their publication, they are pulled and pushed with so much work. But with all that they came up with this volume. It is so beautiful. The moment I saw these book. I felt oh God! Even in English I think I need to do now, revamp and redo the Gita. We have come up with 3 volumes. We should come up with 18 books also. As single volume also to come up.

Great! Today Nirahara Samyama 2nd level 4th day. And Nithya kriya yoga Tamil Program also and eN-Genius memory camp 4th day.

Today I am official launching, Nithya Yoga, new YouTube channel. The address will be www.youtube.com/nithyanandayoga. Blessings! Blessings! So, launch it Ma. People will be able to see it.

Great! Yes then Next. I am up and alive. Let’s start today's subject - Authenticity

I will continue on Authenticity and our great hero Nachiketha. We should also have all our Gurukul different blocks names after, all these great masters, child masters. Our kitchen should be named after Gnana Sambandar, because he received some milk and each block should be named after great masters. The bhajan hall can be named after Meera and Andal and some hall can be named in the name of Markandeya. Some place can be named with the Nachiketha and I also commit to the Gurukul and Gurukul kids before the end of this year I will make the whole Gurukul as managed by Gurukul kids. The teachers will be there only assisting. It will be self-managed school where the Gurukul kids will manage the whole administration. You see on the other day on Life ok channel I was seeing, they were showing, demonstrating Mallakambha and the yoga on the pole and all that. It is not even 10 percent of what our Gurukul kids are doing. But unfortunately we did not reach out to all these channels and media about our Gurukul kids. Gurukul kids, you yourself take the responsibility, start sending email to all of them, with the videos and photographs of what you are performing and ask them to give you opportunity to come and perform in their shows. So we will have a full-fledged office with the internet facility for Gurukul kids. They can go and work, they can have access to facebook, email and work with the world, reach out and tell the world what they are learning, how they are living and I also guarantee none of my Gurukul kids will browse porn site. I don't need to put any fire wall for them. Just my word is enough.

"Ye my kids, Porn is not good for your life. "I already put my firewall. I know. I put the firewall for my kids. So make a beautiful office available for the Gurukul kids. By end of this year Gurukul will become self-managed. Managed by Gurukul kids. So the teachers will be there only to assist and give them the education. The technical knowledge that component, that part and supporting them, helping them. It will be new type of learning system. The education system, of course I can't say it is not the new type, it is the oldest type of learning system where the kids will be learning and I wanted the deities of Sapta Rishi’s, Chatur Vedas, make all the deities and I wanted all that to be installed in the Gurukul. Start planning Sapta Rishis, Chaturvedas. Gurukul should become a place for even tourism attraction. Understand. By the end of this year I will throw the Gurukul open to public to come and see. And I also as a first initiation, I hand over maintaining, the most sacred thing I hold in my heart. Maintaining the banyan tree and the temple to Gurukul from today. That is the most sacred thing I hold very near and dear to my heart. The Banyan tree and the temple. Today I hand it over to Gurukul. So one by one is going to Gurukul. And they are doing amazing job and I wanted all the adheenamite who are mentored by Gurukul kids, understand, they are the Nachiketha happening in your life. Learn from them. Learn from them. Because I cannot come and monitor each one of you, I put them. First thing you can't bribe them. Second thing they are VERY authentic. Third thing they do not talk to you by judging you. They only look at the problem and handle. They do not judge you. They just find solutions for problems. If my energy beads are hurting me, now I don't call anybody. I just call the Gurukul kids. I know Aalaya (gurukul kid) is the mentor for the in charge of energy bead. So I call, "Aalaya!". And I know by tomorrow she will fix it.. I don't need to call anybody else anymore. I really feel only now real Gurukul is happening. Their commitment! God! Responsibility! Just living with authenticity. Thanks to Nachiketha. I also pray to Nachiketha, "Let your presence be here radiating authenticity in all of us and in our Gurukul kids."

And I wanted Gurukul kids to develop their own website. Their own communication system. Have live Google hangout, face book, orkut, YouTube channel, twitter, chat rooms, chat windows for Gurukul. I know the kids will do it. So after the inner awakening for adheenamites, I am going to do two batches, ofcourse Gurukul kids are also going to be there, after that for the Gurukul kids whose parents agree, I will be giving them KramaBramhacharya. Krama Bramhacharya means living the life of learning and the regulations of learning like celibacy and all that, regulations required for learning, celibacy and everything, till they get married. It’s not that they should not get married, they can get married, till they get married they will live this Bramhacharya life. Of course if they decide to take Sanyas, then they will take the Naishtika Bramhacharya and go for Sanyas. We are also aligning all our Sanyas procedures and everything, rules and everything to the original Upanishads. I am working on it with the original Manu’s and Upanishads we are aligning.

Let us invoke the presence of Nachiketha and Yama lord of death. Let us enter into Khatopanishad.

Authenticity.

So yesterday, we stopped at the story where Nachiketha is going towards death's house and father is saying “don't go. Don't go”.

I will read out from the translation of the original Upanishad, the scene and then I will comment.

After the father said, “I will give you onto death! Let you die!. Nachiketha thinks, Nachiketha is thinking, among many, I stand first, among many I stand in the middle. “What will be accomplished for my father by my going this day to Yama?” It was not conceit which led Nachiketha to consider his own standing and importance. He was weighing his value as a son and pupil in order to be able to judge. Whether or not he had merit enough to prove a worthy gift. Although he realized that his father's harsh reply was only, the expression of a momentary outburst of the anger, yet he believed that greater harm might befall his father if his word was not kept. Therefore, he sought to strengthen his father’s resolution by reminding his of the transitory condition of life.

He said, “Look back to those who lived before and look to those who live now, like grain the mortal decays and like grain springs up. All things perish, truth alone remains. Why then fear to sacrifice me also. Thus Nachiketha convinced his father that he should remain true to his word and send him to Yama, the ruler of Death. Then Nachiketha went to the abode of death . But Yama was absent and the boy waited without food or drink for three days. On Yama's return one of his household said to him-"

Yes now I will comment on this.

The whole scene is mystical. Nachiketha who is embodiment of Shraddha, authenticity, thinks to himself, among many, in many ways I am first, in many ways I am middle but never last. Please understand, this is the best mental setup an authentic being can have. When he says, among many I am first that is his -Mamakara. Second when he says among many I am middle that is his -Ahamkara. When he says I am never the last then how am I going to prove myself to his words, that is his Anyakara. His responsibility to Anyakara.

Understand, in your case you say inside you, ‘Among many I am the last. That is Mamakara. Among many I am the first -that is Ahamkara. Then why should I do anything-that is Anyakara.’ Why should I bother to do anything that is Anyakara. The right Ahamkara, Mamakara and Anyakara is described just in these few words.

Let me read out once more the original Verse. Please understand I am going to read out the

original verse, the translation.

Nachiketha thought--"Among many I stand first. "--Mamakara. Means in his heart he knows he is first, means realization, strong trust on himself. He has not given up on himself. A clear Mamakara.

Second line...."Among many others I stand in the middle." Means when he expresses his Ahamkara, he never puts himself in the first or he never puts himself in the last. He is with the whole, as a team. Understand, a right leader will always project himself as the part of the team not head of the team. You should feel you are head of the team but you should project only as the part of the team. Anybody who projects themselves, anybody has the Ahamkara of head of the team, you are a failure because the greatest enemy of Anyakara is Ahamkara.

Understand, in this whole scene only Ahamkara and Anyakara fights. Mamakara is like a husband. Ahamkara is like a daughter-in-law. Anyakara is mother-in-law. The fight is always between daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, husband is hiding in the bathroom shutting the door and opening the shower and imagining as if he is not hearing any sound. He shuts the bathroom door and opens shower. If you open the shower in bathroom, you will not hear the sound from outside. Mamakara shuts all the doors and opens his inner chatter, that’s the shower and acts as if he doesn’t hear any sound. If Ahamkara projects as the head, Anyakara is going to immediately reject it and raise the level of the fight. Conflict.

So a right leader is the person who projects himself as part of the team. Understand, so Nachiketha’s Ahankhara, is I stand in the middle, means I am part of the team in many ways.

Now next statement, what will be accomplished for my father by my going this day to Yama. This is Anyakara. Responsibility for Anyakara. Now Nachiketha thinks, Yes my father expects me to go to Yama, Right? I should take the responsibility and reach the goal my father wanted to reach by sending me to Yama. Not just doing what my father said. I have to fulfill what for my father said.

Understand, when I tell you attend the yoga every morning. Not that you will follow that only literally, you will also fulfill what for you have to attend the Yoga, Health. So you have to do heavy yoga intensely and see to it that you are healthy. Fulfilling the Anyakara not just by letter, with the spirit. I know. Many people come for morning yoga, without giving any pressure on their muscle, without giving any pressure to their hair and nail, without disturbing their makeup, they do yoga. It is following the letter, not the spirit. Here Nachiketha is so clear. He said what will be accomplished for my father by me going this day to Yama?. Means he is going to be doing, what father said not just as letter but also as spirit. With spirit he is going to follow. With Anyakara, when you take the responsibility with Anyakara, you have to follow the letter and spirit both. If you are trying to follow just letter it is cheating. If I ask you to come for every morning Satsang what is the purpose? For you to live and get enlightened. If you just come here and sit and sleep, you follow the letter, not the spirit. If you just get enlightened where ever you are and don't attend the Satsang. You follow the spirit not the letter. But here with Anyakara you are expected to follow both.

The next line, It was not conceit which led Nachiketha to consider his own standing and importance.

Understand, Nachiketha is not cunning and egoistic no. This three statements show very clearly his authenticity of Mamakara, Ahamkara and Anyakara. In your case your Mamakara is always powerless and Ahamkara is always showing power, Anyakara is violence, conflict .With Nachiketha the whole thing is other way. Mamakara Powerful, Ahamkara Co-existing, Anyakara Responsibility.

Mamakara is Satya, Ahamkara is Ahimsa, Anyakara is Bramhachrya, Astheya, Aparigraha. Understand, Mamakara is Satya, Ahamkara is Ahimsa, Anyakarya is Astheya, Aparigraha, Bramhacharya. Means, what he feels inside as energy, integrated, empowered, all he projects himself to others is the possibility for co-existence. Understand I proved my possibility to co-exist with all the seekers. That’s is the reason thousands gather around me. Each adheenamite's responsibility is to prove to every one as Ahamkara you have to show to the world that you are great possibility for people to co-exist with you. When you go and stand to take a class, that very presence, the words you utter, the way you handle the people, you deal with people, every person who looks should know, you are a great possibility for co- existence. I have seen Viroopa does that job. I have observed Viroopa many times. Anybody sees her can understand she is a possibility for co-existence.

Each aacharya, each adheenamite, each one of my disciple, organizer, Satsangi, samaaji, follower, devotee where ever you stand, whatever you do, your Ahamkara should tell, make a statement to everybody , I am possibility for Co-existence. If you’re Ahamkara says, I am the top, you are not the possibility to Co-existence, if your Ahamkara says I am the bottom, you are not the possibility for co-existence, who will want to live with the fool.

Ahamkara should be making everyone understand I am a possibility for co-existence. Unfortunately still now no one is able to de-mystify these three lines. So many different different commentaries. Nobody is able to de-mystify. Why these three statements? By recording these three statements what the Rishi wants to tell the world. How many of you have read Khatopanishad earlier, before? Anyone of you even imagined this meaning? What you, even I did not imagine. Thanks to Saraswathi for flowing.

So Nachiketha! Actually these three statements are photograph of Nachiketha's Mamakara, Ahamkara, Anyakara. Rishi wants this to be on record so that, at some time in future some incarnation will read and make it alive to people, make people understand this truth. The treasure is just packed and kept. Rishi also very beautifully says, the Rishi of the Khatopanishad records, I think the Rishi of the Khatopanishad is Yamadharma himself. It was written by lord of death Yama himself. The Rishi records, he was weighing his value as son and pupil in order to be able to judge whether or not he had merit to prove worthy gift. Means by this way of thinking he was taking the responsibility and committing with his responsibility.

Yama records, Lord of death, Kala records, as a…here he was weighing, he means Nachiketha. Nachiketha was weighing his value as son and pupil in order to be able to judge whether or not he had merit enough to prove a worthy gift. Although he realized that his father's harsh reply was only the expression of a momentary outburst of anger. This line means, Nachiketha is not foolishly following his Anyakara as morality or ethics of the society. He is doing it with authenticity. There are ethics of society where it says literally follow whatever your dad says. He is not doing it in that way. That is why Rishi records Nachiketha knows father is angry and he has shouted. It is momentary anger reply. Nachiketha is following with authenticity not with Ethics.

Understand, what you do is also important and why you do is also important. If Nachiketha has gone to Kala, Yama just because he has to obey his father's words , he can only be considered as the best ethical man, a great person of morality. But the reason why he is going to death is not just because of his father said but he is going because of his authenticity and responsibility for the inauthenticity of his father.

When Rama went to forest, he took responsibility for the integrity of his father. Just before he was leaving to the forest even Kaikeyi changed the mind. She begging, “Forgive me Rama! I did a mistake. No no no don’t go." Because Kaikeyi is too strongly attached to Rama. It was actually Kaikeyi brought up Rama. Not Kausala. Kaikeyi brought up Rama. So when she asked Dasaratha, her intellectual mind only was only convinced. Her emotional being was not convinced. So when she saw the scene of Rama in ochre robe going to forest, with Sita, Sita was very close to Kaikeyi. Both of them had a relationship of mother and daughter not mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Kaikeyi was more like a friend to Sita. There are many beautiful poetical rendering of Ramayana records, Kaikeyi coaching, educating Sita for the life. She was a friend, mentor, mother. But the moment she saw, Kaikeyi saw the scene, Rama, Sita and Lakshmana going she couldn't handle. She went and begged,"No no no Don't go please!"He said, “No. I take the responsibility for the integrity of my father. "

Here Nachiketha takes even for the responsibility for the inauthenticity of the Father. And the next line. Yet he believed that greater harm might befall his father if his word was not kept. Nachiketha takes the responsibility for the inauthenticity of his father. See he is inauthentic. That is where he is based at now. He need to be raised to the level of authenticity. Now if I don't keep up his word he would be out of integrity also. So at least let me bring him to integrity by sacrificing my life. So that he moves to next step of authenticity. Therefore he sought to strengthen his father's resolution, by reminding him of the transitory condition of life. Now the father has fallen back to Mamakara. Only when he was bursting in anger he was in Ahamkara.

Understand, whenever you deal with people see whether he is standing on Mamakara or Ahamkara or Anyakara. Because there are three personalities in each one of you. Handle him based on that. Gurukul kids are you listening? When your student has a problem, see whether he is talking to you from Mamakara or Ahamkara or Anyakara.

When Vajasravas said "Let you die! I give you on to Yama. "He was operating on Ahamkara. Unfortunately does not get continuously fuelled. When the emotions burst person is naturally pushed back into Mamakara. Sucked in Mamakara .Now he is in Mamakara. The powerless state. He says, "Don’t go. Don't go."

Same way with Kaikeyi. When she asked for the boon, she was working from Ahamkara, then suddenly she fell back on Mamakara and begging Rama, "Don't go!"

I know a personality like Rama, he would have been life of the whole palace. Life comes from life not from just buildings. Understand life comes from life not just from buildings. That is why in the forest without any building from all over the world, people come and stay. Most of the people who come and stay here, I can say why most almost everyone who come and stay here have better accommodation outside in their house. But better space here. Better place there, better space here. A personality like Rama if he leaves the palace it means literally palace is moving out of the palace. Leaving only palatial buildings, palace is moving out of palace just leaving palatial buildings. One Ashramite, little loose, wanted to leave the adheenam. All I did is just asked one question. Just remember morning when you wake up will you be able to be alive without seeing me? She said, "No, I am not going out of the Ashram, I forget, I drop my decision." that’s all only one question. Because life happens from life.

Please understand this is the Mahavakya for today. Life happens from life. You can't meaning out of this statement if you put it on the facebook only if you listen to the Satsang you will understand. Mahavakyas are the words, only in the context they make meaning otherwise none, nothing can be understood out of them. Thousands of people listen to "Tatvam Asi" , who can understand? No. Only from the right person in right time, right muhurtha they make meaning.

Life happens from life. Not from buildings. Not from bank balances, not from anything else. Life happens from life.

Nachiketha takes the responsibility for father's inauthenticity and he doesn't want father to fall out of integrity also. So he decides and he convinces the father, now who has now fallen into the space of powerlessness. He has fallen into Mamakara. And he is feeling terrified, horrible, weak, powerless to let go Nachiketha. Nachiketha teaches him, reminding the father of the transitory condition of life.

I tell you when you become authentic, the first thing you will have is fearlessness. All fear will disappear. You will understand the transitory condition of life. The transitory condition of all the prefixes and suffixes you give to life. Prefixes are preferences, suffixes are sufferings. All the prefixed you give for your life and suffixes you give for life. Life itself is eternal, the prefixes and suffixes are transitory. Nachiketha reminds his dad about the transitory condition of prefixes and suffixes you give to life.

Rich life-prefix; life of suffering-suffix, life is eternal, neither the prefix nor the suffix is eternal. The transitory condition of life's prefixes and suffixes, He said look back to those who lived before and look to those who live now, like the grain the mortal decays and like the grain springs out. He talks to his dad.

Understand, seven year old child talks to his dad. Dad has Anubhava, Nachiketha has Anubhuthi. Dad has seen thousands of people taking birth and dying like a grain. But Nachiketha remembers thousands of people taking birth like grain and dying in right time. Remembrance in right time is Anubhuthi. Not remember but only seeing is Anubhava. Anubhava is fact, the world. Anubhuthi is knowledge, realization, right my world.

Dad has experience, Nachiketha has realization. Son is telling father, "Dad don't you see like a grain people die and come and go?" How many deaths Nachiketha would have seen in his seven years of existence? May be maximum one or two or he may not have even seen just only heard. But he learnt the lesson.

I always tell a story. Anubhava means touching every type of fire and learning, "Oh! This fire also burns! OK. Oh! Charcoal fire burns! OK Then matchstick fire burns! OK. Gas fire burns! OK. Oh! Firewood fire burns. OK! Oh Kerosene fire burns! OK. "Touching almost every type of fire and leaning the lesson that all types of fire burns. By the time you learn the lesson all types of fire burns your body is ready to be burnt. You are dead. But the moment you touch one fire and it burns or you see somebody touch a fire and it burns, learning all fire burns is realization, Anubhuthi.

Vajasravas is supposed to be telling these words to Nachiketha. Oh my son! People come and go. I have seen millions coming and going in my life. But see the fun opposite is happening. I can see when my mentors are mentoring their students, the Nachiketha relating with Vajasravas.

By the time my kids complete the gurukul, they will have easily post-graduation in psychology and business administration. Because the essence of everything I just chew it up in my all grinding machine, my brain, and give the essence. I also commit I will teach astrology to my gurukul kids at least the basic principles. You see I myself not a master of astrology. I know basic principles, I will teach basic principles. At least the basic principles. To master you have to spend years on it .Of course mastering the planets is easy.

Nachiketha convinces his father about the transitory condition of prefixes and suffixes of life. And he says everything dies and reborn, comes back, all things perish, truth alone remains, truth alone remains. Then Nachiketha says dad why are you afraid to sacrifice me also. He is going to sacrifice himself, he is consoling the dad, why are you afraid to sacrifice me? So Courageous. Authentic beings are not afraid even if they have to sacrifice themselves, inauthentic beings are afraid even if they have to sacrifice others for their words. Inauthentic beings create violence and get frightened by the same violence. They shout and they get frightened by the same sound which they created. They shout, scream and get frightened start shivering by the same shouting and screaming they did. So Nachiketha is convincing, don't be afraid to sacrifice me. And Nachiketha with authenticity takes responsibility to the inauthenticity of his dad and thus Nachiketha convinced his father. Means he completed his responsibility with his dad, he did not give up on his dad. He fulfilled healing him, making his dad understand. That he should remain truthful to his word and send him to Yama. Ruler of death, Lord of death. Then Nachiketha went to the abode of death.

Here lies the answer for one of the biggest problem all my adheenamites face. They say. My parents' Anyakara is I should come back. Should I fulfill that Anyakara? Or should I say here. Yesterday this was a big discussion.

Now Nachiketha's behavior is the answer. See very clearly, the Anyakara of Vajasravas is asking Nachiketha to stay back but neither Nachiketha stayed back nor he did not raise himself to the Anyakara of his father. He took the responsibility and showed his father, made his father understand about his inauthenticity and out of integrity convinced that he doing what he has to do is good for him also. So all the adheenamites this is the answer. Making your parents understand by taking responsibility for their inauthenticity, suffering and out of integrity and their powerlessness, everything. Why do they want you back? Because of their powerlessness. If they want you back because of their authenticity nothing wrong. But they want you back because of their inauthenticity.

So now take responsibility for their inauthenticity. Don't give up on them. Work, work, work with them and do what Nachiketha did. Nachiketha convinced his father that he should remain true to his word and send him to Yama the ruler of death.You will find millions of ways to convince your parents that the path you have chosen is good for you and for them.

Then Nachiketha went to the abode of death but Yama was absent and the boy waited without food or drinking for 3 days. This is mystical. Means with that authenticity, I want to face death, he sat without food or water in pure Nirahara samyama just exhaling not even inhaling. Even if you Inhale that is aahara. Only exhaling means all the collect life energy which was there in his seven years of life, he is sending them out. He is releasing them, just waiting for death. If you just decide with authenticity I want to face Kala, lord of death, go on exhaling, exhaling, exhaling. With authenticity if you decide, you will not be inhaling, just exhaling, and releasing all the life energy which is store in your body and in you till now. Which you collected and stored, releasing everything and not taking anything which is source of life, food, water or prana, in three days you will have pure death experience. Once we start functioning,Varanasi ghat, the Manikarnika Ashram. Any seeker who want experience the pure death experience not physical death, consciously facing death can take up this practice. Not only you will eat or drink in these three days, you will not even inhale. Authentically you will tell yourself, I do not want to Inhale. Take the life source, prana into me. Telling is enough, your body will not exhale. The pattern of inhaling and exhaling will be broken by authentic declaration. And Nachiketha's authenticity, he just broke the pattern in three days of inhaling and exhaling.

Third day he broke the pattern. That is what they mean, when he went to the abode of Yama, three days he was absent. Because it took three days for Nachiketha to come face to face with Yamadharma. On Yama's return one of his household said to him," Like fire a bramhana guest enters into the house that fire is quenched by an offering. Oh Vaivasvatha! Bring water." Means the assistant of the Yamadharma tells Yama,"Oh Lord! Like a fire a bramhana comes to your house. If you don't do what needs to be done, it can burn and destroy your house. If you do what needs to be done, he can be available for you for cooking and all the enriching for your life. When the right bramhana comes if you take care of him, he will enrich your life forever. If not he can destroy your life. So the assistant is telling Yama, take care of him a bramhana is here. Understand with this word, the whole problem of caste system is broken because Nachiketha is Vaishya by birth, he is the son of a king. But the Upanishad records him, a bramhana is waiting. Understand, he is the son of a king. It means what, the title is based on the quality of the person. Not based on just birth.

Next verse says the foolish man in whose house a bramhana guest remains without food, all his hopes and expectations, all the merit gained by his association with holy, by his good words and deed, all his sons and cattle are destroyed.

Please understand each one of this word is very very meaningful. If an authentic person comes to your life, you don't take care of him in your life, whatever you have in your life will be destroyed very soon. You will lose it very soon. You will lose him and everything else in your life. Very rare to see authentic beings in your life. Blessed are those who don't miss authentic beings happened in their life. Never ever fight with an authentic being because it will always be a losing battle for you. That is why I tell you even if you suspect somebody is enlightened, don't abuse them. The foolish man in whose house a bramhana guest remains without food, means unattended, disrespected, not taken care, all his hopes and expectations, all the merit gained by his association with the holy, by his good words and deeds, all his cattle and sons are destroyed. Means everything said and unsaid. According to the ancient Vedic ideal, a guest is the representative of god and should be received with due reverence and honor.

Please understand, revering the guest, honoring the guest is not just, social, moral or just ethical responsibility, it is a spiritual responsibility. Whoever has made shelter for their body, food for their body should take responsibility for anybody who does not have shelter or food, who comes in your breathing space. Understand, if you have made food shelter, cloth for yourself and anybody without any of these three comes in your breathing space, you are responsible for providing all the three for them. Only if there is a danger from the other person to your life or possession, you are allowed not to take responsibility for that other person. This is the command I give for all my house holder disciples. My Grihastha disciples.

I give you all as a command from the Upanishad and my personal request suggestion for the visitors and followers, Guruvak for my disciples and devotees. If you have food shelter clothes, anybody who comes in your breathing space, who don't have all this three, you are responsible to provide all these three to him or her. Only if there is a danger for you or your possessions from that person you are exempted from this responsibility. OK clear?

Anybody who is established in authenticity will never be a danger to your life. So if you see somebody established in authenticity, you should take care of him and after this program I am going to be doing the inner awakening for the adheenamites and I will be giving them a special bracelets which they should wear when they are established in authenticity, whenever they are in authentic they should remove that bracelets. So that all our devotees all over the world would know whether to treat him as a bramhana or not. And each individual takes the responsibility now, to be a bramhana.

What a beautiful verse! The foolish man in whose house a bramhana guest remains without food , all his hopes and expectations, means future plans, all the merit gained by his association with holy, means the punya, he receives from the Satsangha, that’s the highest punya, understand. Highest punya a man can receive is the punya of Satsangha. The Upanishadic Rishi declares even that highest punya is destroyed. God! We have to revive this great tradition of respecting bramhanas, by first creating bramhanas. The moment I uttered this word now I know thousands of my disciples have already resolved that I will take the responsibility of anybody comes in my breathing space for food and shelter, If I have food and shelter. But now it is my responsibility to create bramhanas who will come and accept your hospitality. Very easy to create people who will give hospitality. Very difficult to create people who are worthy of receiving that hospitality. Now I have to do that job. The merit that man got by his good words and deeds, all his sons and cattle everything is destroyed if an authentic person comes to your house as a guest and remains without food. So how Yama reacts, let’s see tomorrow.

I have commented just on two verse. Let’s see tomorrow how Yama responds.
