Title:
Understanding is Beyond Logic - Nithyananda
Description:
In today’s morning Satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda expresses that Hinduism is an evolutionary, completion-based religion that has already developed the science that will set standard for what philosophies will useful for the future of society. He cautions us to beware of philosophies that lack inspiration, telling us that there is only one answer, one instruction, and in their generalizations, the truth is lost. In our lives, we can measure a philosophy by how it is cognized in our inner space; how does it introduce us to ourselves? Is it capable of leading us to completion? God and the Cosmos are not immediately available to us. But we are immediately available to ourselves with the ability to raise ourselves to the Ultimate through completion.

I welcome you all with my love and respects.
Today, I will expand on “SPONTANEOUS COMPLETION, COMPLETION THROUGH CREATION – SRISHTI POORNATHWA”. In Sanskrit, I will name this as “Srishti Poornathwa”.
Yesterday night I was going through Sankhya, some of the Sankhya works. Don’t ask how I was going through! I was shocked the whole Sankhya does not speak about God, because completion itself was given the place of God! Methodology to reach Godliness was given the place of God!
Please Understand, Sankhya does not have the system of God, because the method;ogy to reach god is given the place of god. It is Sankhya formed the basis for Buddhism. In Buddhism also, there is no God. The methodology to reach God is made as God. Methodology to reach God is made as God! Please listen! It is a kind of a lifestyle. It is a lifestyle. Methodology to reach God is made as God.
There are only two religions in the world. One sees God as something outside and gives you the methodology to reach God. Another one tradition, the methodology to reach God itself is made as God.
There are only two types of religions in the Planet Earth: Where the methodology is worshipped as God, or separate God is worshipped. Whether Buddha is important, or Dhamma is important.
And, I tell you, in the beginning, the methodology to reach God should be worshiped as God. But in the end, you will know, the experience is far beyond, unimaginable! It can’t even be compared with the methodology. You cannot compare the menu-card with the food. Menu-card may have photograph of the food you are going to be served, but menu-card can’t be compared with the food! But menu-card is required for you to get the right food. It is a strange relationship. But unfortunately, human mind goes on behaving with violence. ‘Tell me one thing!’ Not having patience to study the whole thing! For the mass, you also have to generalize. When you generalize, always the truth is lost.
One barber asks Mulla Nasruddin, ‘How did you lose your hair?’
Mulla replies, ‘Worry!’
The barber asks, ‘What did you worry about?’
Mulla Nasruddin says, ‘About losing my hair….!’
Your worrying makes you lose your hair. And, in turn, you are worrying about losing the hair! It is a vicious circle! See, Same way, you are forced to generalize, because the human mind is filled with violence. People are forced to generalize, because human mind is filled with violence, and people ask, ‘Tell me one thing!’ People who ask for instructions are most violent people. Why do they ask for instructions? So that they can miss the spirit, and carry on with the letter!
Listen! If you want to live the spirit, you will not ask for exact instructions. When you ask for exact instructions, you are working around how to miss the spirit.
I could see the whole compassion of Kapila. I know for sure, he was the first man who started thinking. Till then, thinking was not part of the humanity. The first human-being who started thinking was Kapila.
Listen! You need to come to the space of listening. Please come to the space of listening so that you internalize this great truth.
The religions which makes separate God have some advantage and disadvantage. Religions which make the path towards Godliness and God as religion have some advantage and disadvantage. Both of them have some advantage and disadvantage. What exactly I want to do is, I want you to understand that the mental setup of asking anyone final instructions is a violence and so drop and learn to understand the whole. Path towards God need to be treated as God at a certain level, and the experience of God is totally different from the path. You need to understand this, at one level. You can neither say this is important or that is important. Asking or expecting or thinking only one can be important is violence. Come out of that mental setup. I have seen, whenever my sannyasis are asking, ‘Give one instruction. We will follow.’, I know, they are caught in violence. Only violence asks for instruction without inspiration. A violent person cannot be inspired. He can only be instructed.
If any religion gives you a manual, be very clear, that religion is born from violence, will continue to flourish in violence. In the Bhagavad Gita, Nowhere you will see instructions. Rarely, one or two lines! But the whole seven-hundred verses are all about inspiring and giving intelligence. Nowhere will you see instructions. You see, the very funny thing! Arjuna was supposed to fight, but he is being taught to meditate! Dhyana Yoga, one full chapter is there! And he is being taught Sankhya! And he is being taught the great different aspects of Sanyaasa, Sannyasa Yoga! Karma Sanyaasa Yoga! Jnanakarma Sanyaasa Yoga! Very funny, you see, Arjuna says in the beginning of the Bhagavad Gita, ‘Leave me, I am going and becoming a sannyasi.’ But Bhagawan says, ‘No!’ He catches him. He is asking him to fight! When Arjuna is asking, ‘Why should I? How can I?’, when he is asking all these questions, Bhagawan is telling him about sanyaas, how to become a sannyasi! See the whole thing, I tell youThis is the beauty of Hinduism! No single instruction! Because of the mental setup, asking for single instruction is violence. Only a violent mind believes only one thing can be top, only one thing can be ultimate. only one instruction can be ultimate instruction.
Why? Because you feels only you should be alive or the other fellow should be alive! The mentality of fighting, violence, always excludes, excludes, excludes! One, one, one, only one! No! No! That is not even required! The root of the problem should be solved. The root of the problem is- asking for only one as ultimate is nothing but the mentality of the fighter. In a fight who is the winner? Only top. In survival instinct, who is the winner? Only one. In the survival instinct, no question of co-existing. But anything which talks about one, only one, only one is out of survival instinct.
Fortunately even the Advaita philosophy never talks about one, it only says ‘no duality’
Advaita! It does not say ‘Ekatva’. Understand the difference, it only says Advaita- no duality, But it does not say Ekatva- single. ‘One, Only one should be’- the concept, the idea itself is from violence. The root pattern of asking for one instruction, One in the top is the root pattern of violence.
Undestand, Bhagavan is not against Arjuna’s sanyaas, He says- Go to snys out of Completion. Bhagavan is only trying to do one thing, out of Completion, take any decision. Out of Completion, take any decision.
HINDI
Kapila does not talk elaborately about God, but talks about the methodology to reach God. He feels what is the use of telling how the idli will taste and how it will look. How the dosa will taste and how it will look. Just serve them. Kapila is a real spiritual activist.
HINDI
I wanted you to understand, asking for single instructions itself is from the violence. And if the single instruction is given, again thats violence. Encouraging your violence. Not instruction, only inspiration should be given. I tell you, the first quality you should see before you up any philosophy is, in that philosophy, ask , what is the introduction given about you to you.
Second, was it single answer based philosophy or an inspiration based philosophy. Inspiration based philosophies will never be a single answer based philosophy. Where you will be given lot of understanding. Please understand, these two are very important.
The world is actually going to sit very soon, all the top religious leaders, spiritual leaders, theologians, philosophers, not for sitting and reconciling. Please understand, the age of reconciliation is over. With Vivekananda, the era of reconciliation is over. I am telling you, all the world leaders, thinkers are going to sit to find out which is the philosophy which should be actually followed, which is the philosophy which is going to make future of the planet – very intelligent, bright, rich, blissful. Beyond the amount of money we have invested in the infrastructure of those philosophies and religions and the teachings.
Listen! Now, the Planet Earth is functioning in such a way, all infrastructure established for a particular ideology or philosophy or religion, based on that infrastructure and their capability to shout loud decides which philosophy will be followed by human-beings. But, I tell you, all the theology schools should adopt the policy of universities, how the universities Go on in search of truth. All the infrastructure and money invested in universities is not for promoting one idea; it is for constantly finding the truth, in search of truth. All theology, all centers of all religions should adopt the principle of universities. Soon the world is going to get together, gather together to sit, to find out which is the philosophy most adoptable for the future of humanity without vested interest. I tell you, the future world religious congregations are not for reconciliation, for recognition of Vedic tradition. It is not for reconciliation. And, I tell you, reconciliation is the old idea. I am not against co-existence. I am all for co-existence; but not out of powerlessness, not out of powerlessness!
Krishna does not want Arjuna to become a sannyasi out of powerlessness. Shivering, shaking. And Arjuna says “Oh Lord, leave me, I will go and become Sanyasi. I will beg and eat”. No! I tell you, this fellow would not have become sannyasi. He would have gone and asked for food in a royal way. ‘Hey, give me food!’ If somebody doesn’t give, he would have picked his bow and arrow to shoot the person for his food. Because became sannyasi out of powerlessness, not out of understanding or completion.
All religious leaders are going to gather. The world religious congregations are going to happen not for reconciliation any more, but for recognition. Come on! Teach the world, and the world religious leaders, the scale to find, What should be the scale with which we should measure which philosophy we should be followed, which philosophy we should be lived, which philosophy we should be practiced. Let us discuss about the scale. I invite anyone. Come on, let us discuss about the scale. Let us put a scale first. Not the fantastical, poetical description given about God or the World. Because all those things are unreachable to you. Fantastic descriptions, poetical descriptions about how God is, and how God’s place looks, who is housekeeping in-charge, who is accommodation in-charge, how to get your accommodation there. Anybody can sing all these fantasies. It takes only a few hundred rupees of alcohol. If you pour the petrol, vehicle will move. If you pour alcohol, all poetries will come out! These fantastical theories and poetries of delusion and illusion is nothing but smoke which comes from the exhaust pipe after your pour petrol in car. Same way, after you pour alcohol the gas that comes out of you is this fantasy theories.
Listen! We should develop very clear scale. Understand, let us develop a very clear scale with which we will measure whether some of these philosophies should be followed or not. Which philosophy should be followed. The first scale is “What introduction is given to you about you” by any philosophy. That is the first step. What is the introduction given about you to you, because, I tell you, all philosophies finally end in a vague, vague end. Philosophies does not have climax. Philosophies don’t have climax. By the time your logic becomes tired, that is only the climax. So, don’t think, ‘I will verify whether this philosophy is right or not by the end of the philosophy. By the end, you will be tired, your mind will be tired, you will be tired. Philosophies are successful when you are tired. No! It can never become, That cannot be the scale to verify whether to practice that philosophy or not. Whether to practice a philosophy or not, the scale should be the first line, “What is the introduction you are given about you”, how that philosophy cognizes you. At that point you should make the decision whether to go in or not. Because, the cognition about the world, cognition about God, cognition about Nature, even the cognitions about the past, everything is just nothing but the junk expressed out of analogies and comparisons. You cannot destroy your life on somebody’s capability to give analogies and comparisons. No! Wake up! Don’t waste your life! Don’t be powerless in front of philosophers. They are the most dangerous people! They will exploit you! If you are powerless in front of your enemy, is he going to leave you alone? Is he going to be showing any grace for you? Is he going to be compassionate towards you? No!
Philosophers are more dangerous people than your enemies. Philosophers are the enemies of the world, enemies of the humanity. Their perverted mental thought, they are trying to establish in more number of human-beings. If more number of people are mad, madness is no more mad! If more number of people are mad, madness is no more madness! Infecting people with certain kind of madness is spreading a philosophy. Infecting people with a certain kind of madness is spreading philosophies. No! The first scale should be , how you are cognized by the philosophy. That should be the scale to analyze whether you should follow that philosophy or not. If the philosophy starts with the right cognition, then it will naturally lead you to completion.
See, see the brilliance of Krishna. The moment he opens his mouth, the first thing that comes out of him is Sankhya Yoga. Not Advaita, Sankhya Yoga. I can be sure, Krishna was filled, Krishna was filled with Kapila. Krishna is the greatest follower of Sankhya Yoga, Mahanirvani Peetha. Because, please understand, when you are in a crisis, the first few words you utter is the words with which you are solving your problem. When somebody asking you for advice, what will come up first? The words which you are using to enrich you only will come out to enrich others. So, Krishna himself is not Bhakti Yogi. Bhakti Yoga comes only from his archives. From his table, only Sankhya Yoga comes. The books you have in the archives you may be master of it; but the books you have on the table has mastered you! Understand, The books you have in the archives you may be master of it; but the books you have on the table has mastered you! That is why they are occupying your table. They are master for you. The moment Krishna opens the mouth…..and, I can be sure, Krishna would have been more shocked than Arjuna, because Krishna would never have seen this dimension of Arjuna – shivering, shaking! Krishna would have never have seen that. When Krishna was slapped with shock by Arjuna. That’s the right description I will give. Krishna wakes up. The first thing that comes out of him is Sankhya. Sankhya. In Sankhya, you are recognized as a soul. The idea taught about you to you is, you cannot be cut by weapons, you cannot be burnt by fire, you cannot be made wet by water, you cannot be blown away by air, nothing can do nothing to you, nothing can be done to you by anything! Understand, an amazing introduction you are given about you! The moment Bhagawan opens the mouth:
Nainam Chindhanthi Shasthraani, Nainam Dahathi Paavakaha |
Na Chainam Kledayanthapo, Na Shoshayati Marutaha ||
You can’t be touched by anything. Bhagawan starts with Sankhya. Then he goes on explaining Sanyasa, Bhakthi yoga, Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Raja vidya Raja Guhya yoga, Ksetra Ksetragna Vibhaga yoga, he goes on, different yogas. Jnaana vignaana Yoga, Shraddhaatraya vibhaga Yoga, Moksha Upadesha Yoga These all come later. But the moment he opens his mouth, he talks Sankhya. Krishna is one of the greatest follower of Kapila. That is why even when he describes his glory…..
For example, when you brag about yourself, you will brag only about yourself as the star of your times. See naturally the star of your life only you will remember, ‘See, I am like that. I am much more than that!’ So, even when Bhagawan introduces himself – of course, he is not bragging about himself – when he is introducing about himself, he says, ‘Siddhanaam Kapilo Munihi’; ‘Among the great beings, complete beings,’ – “Siddha” means complete – Among the complete beings, ‘I am Kapila.’ Means, in Krishna’s time, Kapila was the star of the spiritual world. That is why he remembers Kapila.
HINDI
Understand, you are the only thing available Immediately to you. God is not immediately available to you. Universe is not immediately available to you. You are the most immediately available to you. What idea is given to you about you by any philosophy will reveal the purpose of its existence. Did it come out of completion? Is it staying in completion? Is it leading people in completion? Is it leading people to completion? The introduction you are given about you is very important. Some philosophies teach you , you are the sinner. Some philosophies teach that you are the slave, you are supposed to be a follower. Even in Hindu religion, some philosophies started getting evolved by the influence of different religions and philosophies. Very late, may be in the last few thousand years. They also started developing the concept of “I am your slave, O, Lord!”. No! I am very clear they are not part of Hinduism. They are not the original thought trend of the Rishis, our founding fathers. Our founding fathers, the Rishis’ original thought trend is out of completion.
Krishna beautifully says:
अश्वत्थ: सर्ववृक्षाणां देवर्षीणां च नारद: ।
गन्धर्वाणां चित्ररथ: सिद्धानां कपिलो मुनि: ।।
Ashwathaha Sarva Vrukshanaam
Devarishinaam cha Naradaha |
Gandharvanaam Chitraratha
Siddhanaam Kapila Muni ||
“Of all the trees, I am the sacred banyan tree. Of divine sages, I am Narada. Of Gandharvas I am Chitraratha. Of perfect complete beings, I am Kapila!”
Understand, how a philosophy introduces you to you should be the scale whether to follow that philosophy or not. O, humanity! I commit with you, I will sincerely take my time and work, make all religious leaders, philosophers, theologians, I won’t give up on them! I will make them understand the right scale with which we should measure and decide what should be the future philosophy, which philosophy should be for the future of humanity, which philosophy should be practiced for the better future of humanity, which is the best philosophy which will make the future of humanity best. Hindu religious leaders should spend their energy and time making this scale, making this scale. Hindu religious leaders should know, they should put their energy, intelligence and time to make the world recognize Hinduism. Make the world recognize, make the world understand, and I tell you, the Western world is open. All university based countries will recognize what I am saying. The countries based on theology may not recognize, but the countries based on universities will recognize what I am saying. If a country is guided by theology school or the country is guided by university, Find out! All the countries guided by universities will accept what I am saying.
The greatness of Hinduism is, the first thinking man, Kapila, experienced completion. So, its a religion based on completion, not any revolution; Its is completion-based religion, not complication. It is not a revolution-based religion; it is evolution-based religion. The world need to know, we need to develop a scale, just like western countries developed a scale for money. They developed a scale – Dollar, Euro, and have developed a scaling mechanism, certifying mechanism for diamond, country, for everything.
I tell you, developing a scale for the strength of religion. Developing a scale for the strength religion, scaling and measuring of and philosophies is the work of Hindu saints. It is our work! We will develop a scale, a standard measurement for What should be the philosophy, what should be the scale to measure, which philosophy should be followed, which theology should be lived, which principle should be lifestyle. They set the standard in many places. But the field of inner world, we have worked a lot; we have dedicated our whole life. I tell you, the field of philosophy, We should set a standard. We should set a standard. We should set a scale through which philosophy should be measured to find out whether it is useful for society or not.
HINDI
And, I tell you, I commit with humanity, OH! humanity, I will dedicate my life and I will be successful! I will make it! I will make it! I will make it! I will make it!
The essence of today’s satsangh:
Have more understanding. Don’t ask for single instruction. Live completion.
Let you all Achieve, Experience, Live, Express, radiate, Share and explode in Eternal Bliss, Nithyananda!
