1981 - HDH Manifesting Ganesha at The Age of 3

Śāstra Pramāṇa (Scriptural Reference) for the power of devotion and its powerful manifestation from Paramaśiva's own words:

भक्त्युद्रेकाद्विरक्-तस्य यादृइशी जायते मतिः | सा शक्तिः शाङ्करी नित्यं भावयेत्ताम् ततः शिवः

bhaktyudrekādvirak-tasya yādṛiśī jāyate matiḥ |

sā śaktiḥ śāṅkarī nityaṁ bhāvayettām tataḥ śivaḥ || 121 ||

Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra, sūtra 121, dhāraṇa 96

TRANSLATION: By the intensity of devotion or pure love for the Divine, when the detachment arises in your mind beyond the intellect, that is the Śakti of Shānkari, the power of Divine Consciousness. The intellect (mati) is transformed into the divine consciousness. Then, by the constant space of devotion, you will become one with Śiva.

Āpta Pramāṇa (Scriptural Reference) for Authenticity possessing a person and its consequent powerful manifestation, taken from the experience of young Nachiketa in the Kāṭhopaniṣad.

तँह कुमारँसन्तं दक्षिणासु

नीयमानासुश्रद्धाविवेश सोऽमन्यत ॥ २

taṁ ha kumāraṁ santaṁ dakṣiṇāsu

nīyamānāsu śraddhāviveśa so’manyata || 1.1.2 ||

Kāṭhopaniṣad, Verse 1.1.2

TRANSLATION: As the gifts were being carried and distributed for the sacred offerings (to the priests and assembled Brāhmaṇas) by his father, śraddhā - authenticity - entered into him, Naciketā, that young boy, and filled his inner-space and took possession of him [śraddhā-āviveśa]. From the space of authenticity, he thought deeply.

Ganesha Manifested Through This Very Deity

1981 | The first deity possessed by The Avatar - Lord Ganesha, the Hindu God worshipped as the Lord of Completion and Remover of all obstacles. It is through this deity that The Avatar shows the whole humanity how to manifest the Super-conscious energy in one's life. In this incident at the mere age of 3, Lord Ganesha appeared alive and vibrating in front of the young Avatar and ate the food which was served to him, and through this profound Happening, The Avatar experienced Oneness with the Divine through this chosen deity form of Ganesha.

In The Avatar's own words, "It is Ganesha pūjā (worship and offering to the Hindu God Ganesha) with which My whole life started. I got this Ganesha as a gift for My birthday. I had such a strong feeling-connection with him that I felt that Ganesha was actually there…that the deity was not just a stone; it was Ganesha Himself!"

HDH Continued to Feed all the Ganeshas in His Home after the age of 3

This Ganesha HDH worshipped and played with in His paternal Uncle Kumaraswami’s home. Kumarasami, His father's older brother lived in the same home complex as Him. Every day, He would go over and feed this Ganesha. In His own words, "He would literally eat from My hand. The food would actually disappear! All this started after the first experience with feeding Ganesha." He continued in sweet ecstasy, "Even after coming down from Kailash, I will not forget My sons at home! Every day, I spent time feeding them for every meal and they would literally eat (the food)." HDH is referring to Ganesha being the son of Paramashiva Himself.

This the Ganesha from HDH's grandfather's worship alter whom He also fed every day and worshiped.

This Ganesha is from His biological parents, whom He also worshiped and fed naivedhyam (food offering) every day.

The Ultimate Surgery

Sadaa Shiva Samarambhaam Shankaracharya madhyamaam Asmadacharya Pariyantham Vande Guru Paramparaam I welcome you all with my love and respects. As you all may be aware, this whole tour I am dedicating it to Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. Today I will be speaking on 17th Sutra. Last two days, in Oklahoma, I was speaking on the same sutra but still there is so much to tell about that sutra. I’m going to speak on the same sutra. Each Patanjali’s sutras are independently intelligent to lead man to the Ultimate experience. See whatever you are going through with the body and mind is an experience. For example, eating food or sleeping, sitting, walking, even the weather, hot or cold; whatever you go through is an experience. But your body and mind, your brain and the body is hardwired for Ultimate experience which we call Samadhi. See by its very nature, it is hardwired for Samadhi. So experiencing that Ultimate state is the purpose of human life. All the spiritual literatures work towards that one experience. The literatures which works towards that experience only can be called as spiritual literature. Patanjali’s each sutra is independently intelligent to lead human beings to that state. One sutra is enough; it can lead without any help of any other sutras. It can directly lead a human being to the highest conscious experience for which he is hardwired, He is created, he’s made. It is such a joy to see and experience each sutra. See sometime, if you remember some things which you really enjoy, like nostalgical memories, how you feel joyful, the same nostalgical sweet memories I have with these Patanjali’s yoga sutras. Each sutra brings so much of joy, clarity, understanding, experience. It is unimaginable that how each sutra independently can lead human beings to the Ultimate conscious experience for which he is hardwired. Let me recite the Sutra and give you the translation and we will try to understand the Truths. Vitarka vichaara ananda asmita roopanagama samprajnathah Last two discourses if you are seeing the live streaming, you might have heard last few days I’ve finished talking on vitarka, vichaara, ananda, but the moment I read the sutras, I am seeing so many wonderful new things coming up. So we will again try to give you the essence, gist. Vitarka, the first word. Let me give (you?) the translation. Reasoning, contemplation, blissful flowering and the state of pure awareness are the characteristics of samprajnata Samadhi. Reasoning, contemplation, blissful flowering and the state of pure awareness are

the characteristics of the samprajnata Samadhi. Vitarka, let’s understand this first word, vitarka. Right reasoning. In Sanskrit we have three words, tarka, kutarka, vitarka. Tarka means simple logic. Very simple logic. Kutarka, means constantly negating, constantly negating. If you want to see the kutarka, see in the intellectuals. You can see kutarka obviously. You can touch and feel kutarka in an intellectual’s presence. See, you can touch and experience God in an Enlightened Being’s presence. In the very air you can touch and feel the Divinity. Same way, the kutarka can be experienced in the very air in which an intellectual is there. Anybody goes around him they’ll feel sucked. After half an hour, one hour being around him, if they come out they’ll be either in depression or almost on the verge of depression. Somehow he knows how to put people down. Kutarka. Negating logic. Please understand, vitarka means beyond the ordinary logic or negating logic. Let me describe this way. See the simple basic truth. I can say this is the click for today. Having thoughts is not thinking. Please understand, having thoughts is not thinking. Having thoughts does not mean you are thinking. Sometime you see huge crowd thoughts are there in you. That does not mean you are thinking. It is there, it is there, it is there! Suddenly some joy comes up and it dances in your inner space for half an hour and after one hour suddenly some suffering comes up and it dances and after two three hours suddenly some worry comes up and it dances and you don’t know why all these three guys came and what they did. Please understand, having thoughts is not thinking. Tarka means simple logic, kutarka means negative logic, vitarka means the right reasoning, beyond the simple logic or negative reasoning, the right reasoning. See, the way in which you think, the way in which thoughts are created in your system, if it leads you to the peak potential for the experience for which you are hardwired you are having vitarka means right reasoning. Sometime you can see one thought can lead to another thought will lead to another thought. Suddenly you are in such a deep relaxed feeling, a deep relaxed experience. Any thought which leads you to the deep peace, relaxed feeling, it’s called vitarka. Any thought, which creates so much of negativity, ill feeling about you and which radiates the same ill feeling about others, it’s called kutarka. If you are going against the way in which you are hardwired, it’s kutarka. If you are going in the direction for which you are hardwires, it’s called vitarka. Please understand, I can give you thousands of examples, thousands of stories, thousands of examples how the kutarka and vitarka works. The people with kutarka cannot agree with anything with anybody. They will be constantly shrinking, shrinking, shrinking, shrinking. This is one of the big danger, when we start creating conditioning. Please understand, there are some religions which are more political and social. There are some religions which are more physical. There are some religions which are mental, there are some religions pure conscious. Here Patanjali is a pure conscious religion. That is why, the truths which he is giving if you start working on it, there is every chance you will become enlightened but there is every chance you may not be politically correct or you may not be socially correct. You may not be politically correct, you may not be socially correct because when you go out of kutarka sometime you are little

useless for the world. See to be in the world you needs a little negating logic. Constantly saying no, constantly saying no. Here, if you start working in the line of vitarka suddenly you will see you start saying yes to everything. Suddenly you feel such a deep yes in your being, your whole being will radiate that yes. Your whole being will start radiating that yes. For everything you will feel such a deep yes. I can see very clearly, when I read this sutras how this transformation happened inside my very Being. I have experienced these sutras, how I had the tarka, kutarka and vitarka. All these things I can see very clearly. Maybe, I can tell this story, this story which happened in my life. It’s little mystical but it is Truth so I will share with you all. The young age, I used to go to the many satsangs, the I was born and brought up in Arunachala, it’s one of the very spiritual nerve center in South India, largest Shiva Temple is there. It’s a community based on Temple, temple-based community, there is no industry, there is nothing else. Whole village runs with that one temple as a center. It’s like a huge temple complex and people who serve in that temple they are all around that city, that’s all. That’s the way the whole village was developed and still now that is the largest building in that town is the temple. Not only in that temple, not only in that town, I can say at least we have half a million towns in India still the largest building in that town is the temple. And there are many towns and cities, there is a law you cannot build taller than that temple tower. They don’t let you build any other building which is taller than the temple tower to maintain the sanctity and the respect. Still, the temple is the largest structure and nobody can defeat because 25 acre built up area in granite. So nobody will need that big a house. So everyday some other some other satsangs, something will be going on. Those days I used to have small Ganesha with me and I’ll do puja everyday to that Ganesha, I’ll pour water, put little food in front of Ganesha and do wave the lights, wave the camphor. It was really like a really I was living with Him. I was not just doing some little puja or anything, living with Him. Strong feeling connection. See if you are just doing puja for some other reason you will never enter into that place again second time. I have seen many people doing puja. Morning they will go into that puja room, damma, damma, dooma, dooma, doom, doom, doom, they will roll with that deity and pour water or whatever needs to be done. Once they come out they will never even come that side again, because it is such a heavy routine on them, dead routine on them, they never do the mistake of entering into that same room again second time. But with me it was like a living with Him. Whole day I will be sitting, fanning Him, or doing whatever I can. Anything given to me I will bring it and put it in front of Him. I was living with Him, small boy. I went to one satsang that teacher, that acharya who was talking he was narrating an incident from a saint’s life, his name is Nambiyar Nambi, he was born and brought up in South India. Great saint. His life story, that Master was describing, it’s a very beautiful story. That, his father used to worship one Ganesha in one Ganesha temple every day. One day the father fell sick and he asked the son, please you go and do the worship and son goes with the food and all the worship articles. He does the worship and does all the things and puts the food in front of Ganesha and the son thinks really Ganesha will eat every day. He’s doing first time so he things Ganesha is supposed to eat. And he is sitting, waiting for Ganesha to eat. Half an hour, one hour, two hours, food is there! And this guy started worrying, what happened, did I do anything wrong, you are not eating. And he started talking of course no response. Then he started telling if you don’t eat and if I go back my father may fire me. He may shout at me, please do something. If I have done some mistakes, forgive

me. Please eat. Of course, Ganesha is very silent. If they start eating who will put the food in front of them? Anyhow. He was silent, then he became very serious, the Nambiyar Nandi, he became very serious, no, no, no you have to eat, please eat otherwise. See the shraddha, beautifully the Upanishads says, Katopanishad says, shradda vivechah. When he is describing about Nachiketa,the Upanishad hero, they use the word shradda vivechah. Hew as possessed by shraddha. Sometime, rarely this happens to you and you. You can see, you some very difficult time, suddenly you decide, I will be very straight and honest and dharmic. I will not bend. You know if you little adjust, tell one lie, or alter one word, you can escape from the situation. It can be eased or suddenly sometime you feel, no I am going to be very straight, come whatever may. Those few moments you are possessed by shraddha, that Truth. Shraddha vivechah, very powerful word, possessed by shraddha, Truth, trust. The shraddha vivechah happened to this Nambiyar Nandi. Suddenly, he felt Ganesha has to eat, he has to eat. He starts weeping, he says till you eat, I am not going to leave this place. Five six hours over, but food is there, Ganesha is sitting. Then he goes to the extreme, suicidal threat. He says I will hit my head in this steps and die if you don’t eat and starts hitting his head. Of course don’t try! The TV, the motor ads, the car ads, they say, closed lanes and professional drivers, don’t try. Same way, saints try, you don’t try and the shradha vivecha happens you are in a different plane. Even the doubt does not exist, he just knows that Ganesha is going to eat. Started hitting his head and the story says suddenly Ganesha appeared and ate the food and blessed him. When that saint, that small boy, he goes back to his father, father asks what happened, where is the food? He said, Ganesha ate! Father could not believe Ganesha ate or did you eat? He said no, Ganesha ate! You want come, I will show you. Then he takes the father and there the father sees the mouth of Ganesha, the food, the remains. Rest story says father fell at the feet of the son, said all these years, I was only doing it as a ritual, you made it as reality, you made it as Truth. When I heard this story, suddenly I decided, I’ll also feed Ganesha. That shradda vivechah happened. Means possessed by the shraddha. Strong. See when you are possessed by shraddha, you will not have kutarka at all. Understand you will not have kutarka, you may ask me, why when you heard the story of Nambiyar Nandi, you tried but you are telling us not to try. See, in my case there was no kutarka at all. If there is no kutarka, you are also a professional you can try, but see inside one corner of you there is a kutarka. That’s why I am saying till that kutarka disappears, don’t try. Especially these risky techniques. I decided I’ll also make Ganesha eat. Let me tell you what all the mistakes I did and how I had this kutarka. See, when I heard the story, I decided I will also make my Ganesha eat. This is tarka, simple logic. When he made Ganesha to eat, why not me? Simple tarka. The next step what I did. See, in my house, it’s a joint family. Had one old lady, one of my grandmothers, means it’s like a many people will be staying, you will not know who is who and who is what. And not only that three four streets are relatives. That’s the way the Indian communities will live. The three four street will be your cousin, cousin brother, nephew, name it and they will be there. And they will marry just inside the family and relatives. So, this old lady if the kids are not eating, she will always threaten them, eh I will put you inside the well in the center of the house there is a huge well, I will put you inside the well, she will shout. So I heard only that logic. So naturally what will I do? I went

and put little food in front of Ganesha and told Him eat now. When I saw half an hour He did not eat, I started using the same thing, eh, I’ll put you in the well, kutarka! Please understand, because I heard only that. See, this satsangi, the teacher, he taught me tarka. This environment, this old lady she taught me kutarka. The same way I started shouting. I told she will use all the old tamil words to threaten. I started using all those words, better eat now or you are going to be in the well. And, Ganesha was there silently. I decided I am going to put Him in the well. And usually what she does I have seen, she will take the kid in the hand, and take little food in the other hand and show the well, see, see I will drop you, drop you, these kids will cry, aaaah, she will put the food inside. When the kids start crying, they will naturally open the mouth, she will put the food inside, then it will go, that’s the way she will feed. I decided I will also do the same thing with Ganapati, with that Ganesha. I took the Ganesha with one hand and food in the other hand, I showed the well, Ehhh, see the well, I’ll throw you inside. And He’s not opening the mouth. I tried two three times, then I decided, there used to be a vessel in which they will take the water from the well. I put the Ganesha in the vessel. I started lowering, threatening Him, see I will really drown you, I will really drown you and when the vessel was about to touch the water level, suddenly I realized, maybe now He would have changed the mind and He wants to eat, but there is no food in the vessel. So I brought Him out, put the food also in the vessel and started doing again. And it was almost the water level that vessel that bucket but nothing is happening. I did not have the mind to really put the Ganesha into the water also. It was too much. He really means lot for me. And it’s a very strong relationship. So I can only threaten, I cannot put Him in the well actually. So what to do? Finally, I took Him out. I said, alright, maybe He did not like the cooking. He did not like the food, see how the kutarka works. Kutarka says everything is wrong, except you. Understand that is the kutarka. Kutarka means everything is wrong, except you. Then I started thinking the food is not right. My mother is not cooking properly. I went to the Temple, the temple they offer food to the deities. I thought that food is eaten by deities every day. So I went to the cook, the temple cook. I used to do lots of voluntary work and the young boy, I will go to the temple and wash the vessels, clean the floor. All the kids, that is the only entertainment, that’s the only entertainment and I used to do lot of that kind of work. So I asked the cook, will you give me little food for my Ganesha. He said what little food, have more. He gave one big lot. I brought it to the house and said, see I brought the same diet which you are eating in the temple every day. Now there is no reason, no excuse, come on, eat. And I was sitting, sitting, sitting, maybe three, four hours He was not eating. I said, right diet I brought, I am not going to let you today. So again I put Him in that bucket and started the same drama. And then actually by then I memorized all the abusive words my grandmother tells to make a child eat. All those words like a sloka I memorized and started repeating. I really thought those words are very powerful, they will make Him eat. And all the techniques I tried with my old diet, I tried everything step by step with this new diet. And I put Him in the bucket and again started drowning, almost the water level, so from here I started shouting, I even started asking, are you listening to what I’m saying? Whether the sound is audible. Of course He was not eating. But I could not drown Him because it’s a very strong relationship, very loving relationship. So what to do? I took Him out. I can say I was really depressed, very worried and very strong depression. Completely low mood, just I was sitting what to do? Practically I fixed all the problems. Whatever I was supposed to do. See, if my grandmother does all these things to any child,

the child eats. And I know only those techniques. I don’t know any other techniques. I have not read any book how to feed Ganapati or how to feed kids. Whatever manual was there in front of me, that whole thing I worked out, worked. Nothing works. Nothing is working. So I was sitting. The Ganapathi was lying there, so I was sitting. One nice thing with shraddha, trust is, even if you stop with kutarka, the power of Trust is such, the power of shraddha is such, it turns the whole thing to vitarka. Please understand, the power of Trust, is such even if you start with the wrong logic it turns the whole thing to right logic. Because the Trust is not just energy or logic, it is intelligence. Intelligence with logical energy. Tarka is logic, kutarka is negative logic and vitarka is trust with positive energy and logic. The shraddha is so powerful, suddenly something clicked in me, Oh God! I can say this was one of the powerful click happened in my life. Very strong click. I realized that Nambiandar Nandi, the saint that made Ganesha to eat, that saint tortured himself not Ganesha. But here I am torturing Ganesha not myself. The strong click that kutarka became vitarka. The wrong reasoning became right reasoning. When that click happened I thought right! Yes. Nambiandar Nandi found fault with himself when Ganesha did not eat. When Lord Ganesha did not eat the food, he found the fault with himself not with Ganesha or not with something else, not with the diet. He was not complaining about the outside, it turned inside. In my case, I was complaining about Ganesha, I was trying what my granny was trying and I was talking about that diet and I was thinking that my mother is not cooking properly and I was thinking everything outer world. I was doing kutarka, I was finding fault with everything external. Suddenly I realized yes, I turned and looked in, the problem must be within me. Let me work. That vitarka, click has happened, the right reasoning, that click has happened. Please understand, it’s a very strong click, yes, with Nambiandar Nandi, he did tapas, but in my case I am torturing Ganesha. Let me do tapas. When that click happened, see a strong shraddha which is already there. Shraddha is like a loaded gun. When the right vitarka happens with shraddha it’s like a triggering the gun. Without shraddha, without the strong trust, the kutarka can never become vitarka. The wrong reasoning can never become right reasoning. With shraddha, when the right reasoning happens, trigger was pulled. Just the trigger was pulled, the loaded gun. Trust is like a loaded gun and when right reasoning happens, vitarka happens, it’s triggered. The trigger is pulled. Understand suddenly the click happened, yes. It’s time I look inside, I turn inside and change something in me. Then I decided now I am not going to eat till Ganesha eats. It’s a strong will, even in those days, I used to be very strong. Strong willed, once I decide, it has to happen, that’s all. I was sitting with Ganesha, brought the food, arranged everything. I was sitting, actually I used to have a small shrine, kind of temple, back side of the house. My own, I’ll be staying and spending time only in there, there. I can say that is the first ashram I built for myself and for my deities. I used to be spending my time there only so nobody will disturb me in the house. Usually they will send the food or I will go and bring my food for the food time otherwise I will be spending time there only. So I sat with all the arrangements for Ganesha to eat. I’m very clear because of the trust, the shraddha, no doubt that he may eat, may not eat. See if He does not eat, there is some problem with me, that’s all! But the way

incident itself there is no doubt. The possibility, the Ganesha came, and ate in that Nambiandar Nambi’s life, that incident is a reality for me. The factuality of that incident I never questioned. I can say that is where that kutarka. Kutarka which happened with the factualities of our puranas is the worst thing happened to the Indian consciousness. Understand, that’s the worst thing happened to the Indian consciousness. Whether it happened because of them or some foreign invasion taught to them, but that’s the worst thing happened to Indians. The kutarka happened with their tradition, with the great Puranas. Please understand, I am working with thousands and thousands of patients, means people with diseases, different kinds of diseases. In India I am well known for healing, different kinds of patients, diseases, all these things I’m handling. Last six years I don’t know how many thousands of people have been healed, helped. In my experience, I have started understanding many important secrets about body and mind. I have read many of them in the Upanishads or the Puranas, or the traditional scriptures but experientially now I have started realizing. Please understand, literally what you believe as your body and mind becomes reality in ten twenty days in your life. I have seen, I have seen this happening. For example, allopathy, ayurveda, homeopathy, kapalpathy, all kinds of pathy’s are there now. All kinds of pathy’s. In India every doctor has his own pathy. If you go to ayurvedic doctors, or siddhar doctors, each doctor has his own -pathy, his own system. Working with all these patients and listening to their case histories, the way in which they went to doctors and experiences and especially talking and relating with many doctors, with all of them, I came upon with some of the important truths. What system you believe works for your body from the young age that system actually works for you. From the young age for what system your vitarka is developed, for which system your vitarka, your right reasoning is built, that system exactly works for you. From the young age if you are taught by somebody the yoga will work for you and you grow with that one idea, the yogic solutions straight away cures that person. There is no other logic. Please understand, I am revealing some of the important business secrets which are done in the yogic, ayurvedia and siddha and different other healing systems. From the young age, somebody is brought up with the idea siddha works for his body. And two three times the young age, the doctor gave some siddha medicine and it worked really for him. If he was brought up with that idea, siddha straight away works for him. The idea with which his vitarka is developed, that straightaway works for him. If you are brought up with the idea the right reasoning, that Puranas are reality, please understand, I promise you can straightaway see that Puranic deities and the heroes and relate with them. Very beautifully Aurobindo says in one of his book, his famous book, Savitri. Aurobindo is a great modern-day Master from the Vedic tradition, one of this amazing books Savitri, he beautifully says in his foreword, in his introduction, The Deities and Gods and heroes and different energies represented in Puranas, described in Puranas are the physical manifestations of particular energies corresponding to the Cosmic Consciousness, cosmic conscious representations. For example, Devi means she represents the mother energy of the Cosmos, which gives birth, which reproduces, which creates. She represents that energy and you can connect with that energy through the manifestation with which you are brought up. Please understand, if you are made to understand the Trust that this is the form

of Devi. If you connect to this form, you will connect to Mother Nature. If this vitarka is developed in your system, please understand you have a channel open for you to create miracles in your life, you are a superhuman. Please understand it’s like a difference between having a ten channel TV, ten channel network and hundred channel network. But somehow, see, if you’re developed with the right vitarka, right logic, right reasoning that this ist eh form of a Devi, if you connect to this Devi, the Mother Nature works for you, you will connect with Mother Nature. If you are brought up with this right reasoning, with this right vitarka, you are like a hundred channel dish, hundred channel TV network. Now, you have that unique capabilities of expressing miracles in your life. Attracting miracles in your life, your very Being, your very Consciousness is capable enough of creating the miracles. Understand, I am working with millions of disciples, with my own experience I tell you, whoever has developed with that vitarka, I’m able to heal them do whatever they want in their life, play or express miracles in their life directly, one word is enough, that’s all! 1:20:54 Indian civilization was brought up with that vitarka, right reasoning. The greatest civilization! Otherwise you cannot imagine millions of people spending hundreds of years building temples. If you see, any Indian temple, you will be shocked the amount of energy they have put. The temple which is in my native place, I don’t know how many hundreds of years, how many millions of workers were working. It’s complete granite hand carved. Even the slabs for the ground, flooring is hand carved granite. There is no question of machineries, hand-carved. You cannot inspire millions of people, understand, pyramids are built by slaves, you don’t need intelligent people to build pyramids. Just ten intelligent architects are enough and millions of slaves build it. Because it is complete geometrical but these temples are not pyramids, it’s hand carved artist work. Art work! So every individual who is working has to be inspired and convinced towards the idealogy for which he is working. You cannot make temples out of slave people because it is a art piece. Each stone is carved. I can say each inch is carved. Expression of art completely centered on Divine, Divinity, our Puranas, our Upanishads, our Vedic Truths and the Vedic Deities and you cannot make millions of people work, inspired way unless they experience the Truth for which they are working. And India is such a free civilization where the knowledge was encouraged, arguments were encouraged, thinking was encouraged, there was open society and especially anybody who is an artist naturally will have his own questions. If he has evolved to the level of an artist, he cannot be bound, he cannot be slave, he will not be a slave. It means what? Naturally, all those millions had at least glimpse of those experience of the Deities, Gods, the energies which have described in those Puranas and expressed in those Temples. Naturally, it was some way living Truth for them. The whole civilization, please understand, the whole city, if the Temple has to be built, the whole Kingdom has to concentrate all its resources on that temple. The whole Kingdom has to work. There is one temple in South India, Tanjore, Shiva temple. It’s a two hundred and seventeen feet tall tower complete granite and I don’t know how many miles, hundreds of miles that granite was moved by the elephants and carved and assembled the whole thing happened in just six years. Means the whole Kingdom was working for that cause, the whole Kingdom was working for that cause and there are some temples built for generations, hundreds of years means for the whole civilization was dedicated to that cause.

How can that happen? Because the whole civilization was built on right logic, vitarka. From the young age, the vitarka was taught, the right reasoning was taught. Because of the right reasoning, the vitarka they were able to experience those Gods, they were able to experience those Truths, they were able to experience those energies. See this the traditional stories you hear, that a rishi cursed somebody and that curse came true, rishi gave boon to somebody and that boon came true. Means what? The whole civilization was built on that right reasoning, on that right energy, vitarka. So they were able to play with that energies, they were able to play with that energies, that kind of a power, the access they had, the worst thing happened to Indian civilization is kutarka towards their own tradition. Understand, it is time, awaken, it is time, awake. As beautifully Vivekananda says, Uthishtath jagrata prapyavara ...bothah Beautifully, Vivekananda says, Arise, Awake, stop not till the goal is reached. Arise, awake Oh Indian civilization what you lost. Understand, the loss is not only for Indian civilization. Because they lost, the whole world lost. It’s a great thing which got developed. Amazing experiment which was done for thousands of years by the great missionaries and the amount of energy, intelligence put in the direction. The essence is a civilization with a right logic, vitarka. When we lost that understand, we lost the whole thing which Indian civilization can offer to us. When that kutarka, the wrong, negative logic happened with about our own tradition, it’s practically like you put all your energy and created some gift, some great achievement and somebody came and destroyed it without even your knowledge. Understand, India is not just a land, it is a way of life. It’s way of life. Bharat is way of life. I know many people NRI’s – non residential Indians who are not residing in India but Indians. And I know there are many people who are not born in India but Indians. Bharat, they live Bharat. And I know many people RNI’s – residential non-indians. 1:28:00.0 Residential non-indians, the idiots are sitting inside the land, they’re inside the nectar ocean but tightly closing all their holes so that the nectar should not enter into their system. Tightly sealed. They’re very careful that nectar should not enter into their system by any mistake. That is what I call them RNI’s – residential non-indians. Bharat is the culture, please understand, this vitarka is the greatest gift. Their being brought up with the right reasoning, I can say this the worst thing happened to India. That, losing the faith, losing the Trust, over their own Puranas or the kutarka, negating logic, happening towards their own Puranas. Sometime these guys come and ask me, Swamiji is these deities all true or they are all just symbols. I tell them, they are much more true than you! Your nonsensical idea which you are carrying as you. These guys, I am really. These questions are, if it is from somebody who is born and brought up in some other civilization, alright, okay, it’s new for them. It is not even from the people who are from some other civilization, from these very own Indians, RNI’s – residential non-indians. This is the worst thing, understand. I don’t know how strongly I feel when I tell you this Truth because I can see from both sides. I can see the vitarka and kutarka. I can see the right reasoning and wrong reasoning. How this wrong reasoning fellows are suffering, losing

the great heritage which their forefathers created, which their forefathers vision, the vision which they created, the civilization which they created, the amazing lifestyle which they created, the whole thing was based on vitarka. See, the young age, if you go to some people and talk to them, you will listen Ramayana. If you go to your grandmother and talk to her, you will listen Mahabharata. If you go to Temple, you will see the whole thing in stone, so naturally, the whole atmosphere was created to evolve with the right reasoning, vitarka. I am so happy, I feel so blessed that I had a fortune and I was born and brought up in a place where still vitarka is alive. The right reasoning is alive. It is such a great gift, understand, it is an amazing gift. You don’t know the amount of relaxation and the restful awareness and stress-free life I am living. There is no fear! Just there is no fear. There is no insecurity, just it is not there. Forget about the having and fighting and all those things, just it is not there. I don’t know what to tell. Such an ecstasy to live in this body with this they what I call consciousness or mental setup, it’s purely the only reason is, the bringing up, the where I lived and I grew, the possibility, the energy of the right reasoning the vitarka was alive. It is time! We remind our civilization what we lost and bring our civilization back to the vitarka, the right reasoning. Let your kids at least let your kids learn about these deities and understand they’re alive, available for your call they’re available. Please understand, when I am talking, I am responsible for what I am talking, I mean what I am saying. And sometime people ask what to do about us Swamiji? We can bring up our kids with the right reasoning but what to do about our mind. Understand, things are not that bad. Don’t worry. Start creating this vitarka, right reasoning. In one or two years you will forget you had sometime kutarka, you had wrong reasoning. One or two years is more than enough to build the right reasoning. It’s not that difficult, it’s not that difficult. Constantly remembering. One thing with the right reasoning, you will see your mind is a child. You may be thinking you are you have grown, relax. Fortunately it has not happened. Fortunately it has not happened. Even now the possibility for vitarka, right reasoning is available. Let me come back to my story. When the right reasoning happened with the Trust, I was sitting with the Ganesha. One day over and food is there. I was very strong, no question of eating. No question of eating till you eat. So I’ll go and bring food from the house and keep the food in front of Ganesha and I will sit. I’ll remove the old food, throw it away and sit. One day was over, one night was over and I was not even sleepy, I was sitting. And again, second day’s also over, I was very strong. See a small boy without food naturally the logic will be imbalanced, the willpower will come down. I said nothing doing, I’m going to do it, till He eats I am not going to eat. Maybe third day, I touched that zone when this Trust and vitarka, right reasoning, both became part of the very biomemory, the prarabda, the very system, that is where, that is when, that explosion happened. Suddenly, I can say it’s surely not unconscious, I fell into some state, and I saw very clearly, Ganesha sitting in front of me and eating. If it hurts your kutarka, I’m sorry. Again, but I have to tell you the Truth. When I opened my eyes and saw, I promise there was no food, food disappeared.

(1:36:02.5) Whatever way you want to understand, understand. But the food was not there. And I know Ganapathi ate. Maybe, people with kutarka can tell who knows when you were closing eyes, some rat could have come and ate. Whether Ganesha ate, His mouse ate, let the kutarkis decide. Kutarkis think about that, I don’t know about that. But I know for sure, Ganesha ate. Because, see when He eats, He leaves you, gives you some prasada means He gives you some benefits, the boons. A strong Trust, an extraordinary ecstasy, those are the prasadas, gifts, boon from the Lord. I received that prasada, it means I know He has, He ate. I have had that prasada, I had that experience in me so I know He ate. Eventhough very difficult. See, when you read these story in some Puranas, some Master’s life, you can relate because He is not there physically in front of you. But here I am sitting alive and I am telling this story, it’s too much. It feels too much. But what to do? When an enlightened person happens in the body, He brings all the great Truths to life. He brings everything back to life. Sometime people ask me, why did you do so many tapas, so much of spiritual practices Swamiji? Like this puja, this feeding Ganesha, why you need to do all these things? You are after all born enlightened, you could have expressed your Enlightenment directly. I said no, expressing Enlightenment is one thing, bringing all these Truths back to life through every incident, through every ritual, through every technique is the purpose of an Enlightened Being landing in the body. Eventhough it looks little strong, understand, what I say is honest Truth. It’s honest. 1:39:15 It’s honest Truth, that’s all I can say. Maybe, the power of these words, the Truth and strength behind these words will directly work on you. You don’t even have to believe. You don’t even have to have tarka, or kutarka, you will see the power of these words because this is vitarka, this is satya, it’ll create automatically the right vitarka in you, the right reasoning in you. I wanted you to understand this incident, my experience so that you understand about that vitarka. Please understand, when I heard that Master’s stry and started thinking, when He can why not me? That is tarka. When I started trying the wrong method, wrong technique, it’s kutarka. And because of my Trust, when the right thing clicked, it is vitarka and it leads to samprajnata Samadhi. That is what Patanjali calls here. The vitarka leads to samprajnata Samadhi, means Samadhi with the experience of a form. What I had is a samprajnata Samadhi with Ganesha and He came out and started eating, that’s called samprajnata Samadhi, one level of Samadhi. It’s like a experience (spiritual experience) with the form of the God, with the form of the Deity, with the form of the Existence. All the Enlightened Master’s forms are the expressions of the Existence. If you have Samadhi experience with that means all other thoughts have disappeared, only your Master’s form is there in front of you, you are having samprajnata Samadhi. Sometime, even while you are working I have seen many of our devotees come and tell me, Swamiji, morning whole day I was cooking, washing and doing all my work, but at the

undercurrent, constantly your memory was there inside Swamiji. It was so sweet, I was just filled with you I don’t know, I was not able to forget you. This is what we call Sanskrit, leela dhyana, constantly being in the meditation of the Divine Leela. When the leela dhyana gets matured, you enter into samprajnata Samadhi. That’s what was happening with me in the Ganesha’s thing. Whole day I will be playing with Ganesha as if I was living with Him. I was literally living with Him. Whole day whatever I do will be centered on that Ganesha. Morning if I get up, I will make Him get up. And before I take drink, I will give water to him. After I brush the teeth, I’ll have a small stick to brush His teeth. And after I take bath, I will give bath to him. Once I put on the clothes, I put clothes for him. Once I apply that holy ash, I will apply holy ash on him and sandal on him. I lived with him, leela dhyana was happening. Leela dhyana, meditating on or strongly feeling connected starts building up, the right reasoning, vitarka in your life. The second word vichara, contemplation. Please understand, here Patanjali beautifully describes these four words vitarka, vichara, ananda, asmita. Four words, let me describe those four words. Vitarka and vichara. Vitarka leads to ananda, vichara leads to asmita. All the four leads you to samprajnata samadhi. Please understand, he says, vitakra, vichara, ananda, asmita. All these four leads you to samprajnata samadhi, means the first level samadhi. In Zen they call it satori, in different traditions, they have different names. Vitarka, the right reasoning leads you directly to the bliss flowering. Vichara (contemplation) leads you directly to the pure awareness. These are two paths, two paths leading you to two different experiences and ultimately to the samprajnata samadhi, to the samprajnata samadhi. Ultimately, both together, they lead you samprajnata samadhi. The right reasoning directly leads to ananda, please understand, this one link needs to be understood, then you will understand what is right reasoning. Sometime you can see in your life when the right way the thoughts are going, suddenly you will see such a strong bliss inside you. Your whole being will be open, available, a clear reasoning, you understand everything that is happening around you. You will understand just suddenly the whole thing. But with kutarka, you will never be able to have the whole awareness to understand the whole thing happening around you. You will always fall short of understanding. You will not be able to grasp what is going on around you. The whole picture will not be seen. I have a story about kutarka. A divorce court judge said to the husband, sir I have reviewed this case very carefully and I have decided to give your wife $800 a week. This guy replies, that is very fair your Honor and every now and then, I will also try to send her a few bucks myself (audience laughs). With kutarka you will not have the whole picture. You will always be stuck with the short vision, without right idea; without any right view. I have one more story about kutarka. Two newly weds quickly realized that the marriage was not working and filed for divorce. The judge wanted to know what the problem was. The husband answered, ‘In the seven weeks we have been together, we have not been able to agree on a single thing’. The judge

turned to the wife, have you anything to say? She replied, ‘It has been eight weeks your Honor’ (audience laughs). Kutarka it will always have the short vision. One more big problem with kutarka, it does not look inside. It always looks outside. See in my own case I was caught in the kutarka, I was only bothered about threatening Ganesha and bothered about that the food was not proper. See because I was caught in the fear and greed, I was only trying to work on the fear and greed, I thought Ganesha also has fear and greed. So first I tried to work with Ganesha’s fear. I will put you in the well. Then I started working with Ganesha’s greed. I bring you good food. I’ll give you good food. See because I am filled with kutarka, whatever you are, your project that on others. So I thought Ganesha also has same fear and greed. So I started seeing the same thing in Ganesha. Understand, I have seen many people, they project all their fear and greed on my action and of course, poor guys, only they suffer. When I projected my fear and greed on Ganesha with kutarka, Ganesha never suffered but only I suffered. Ganesha was quite there. When I had vitarka, right reasoning, he appeared and started connecting with me. Till then, he never suffered. Understand, with kutarka you will be the person who will be suffering. With vitarka, you will straight away connect. Right reasoning will connect with the right truth. I can say, kutarka is like a balloon happened. The whole happened, the great balloon of our civilization. Its like, our civilization if I consider, the Vedic civilization is like a ship, the kutarka is like one whole happened in that ship. The whole thing drowned just because of that one kutarka. That legitimacy, that truth, the strength of the puranas and Vedic tradition. It’s all truth, that trust was removed systematically from the Indian minds. That is why the whole civilization is in this worst danger. Worst danger, understand, it is not just the danger for barath civilization, it is a danger for the whole planet earth because that was the civilization that spent all its energy creating spiritual masters and spiritual energy and spiritual things and balancing the civilizations collective negativity. Balancing the collective negativity of the humanity. The whole humanity’s collective negativity was balanced by that civilization. Now if that civilization loses that great spiritual strength, understand it is going to be a threat for the whole world, whole human civilization. It is time we re-claimed our vitarka. We drop and go beyond our kutarka and understand the truth and strength of our puranas, of our Upanishads, of our great spiritual scriptures. With kutarka, it always finds fault with everything else, not inside you. I have one more story about kutarka. Two guys were discussing problems in their respective marriages. ‘I am going to get a divorce’, one guy says. ‘Yesterday I saw my spouse with another woman going into a movie’. This guy says, ‘Oh dear I am sorry but you know there could have been a perfectly innocent explanation, why did you not follow them into cinema?’ This guy says, ‘I could not because the guy I was with has already seen the cinema’. So be very clear, with kutarka you only see the other side, not the inside. It is time we enter

into the vitarka. The right knowledge. Right knowledge straight away leads, you can see and feel inside your body, when the right reasoning is working, suddenly you will see that you are fresh, alive, the brain feels completely relaxed and restful and you are in peace. Sometimes, these great ideas...see the other day I was talking, I was talking one important idea. That nothing will be lost, nothing can be taken away from you. There is a beautiful Upanishad sutra word, abhyam sarvabhootebhyo, I give refuge to all the animate and inanimate beings. I was telling some of our disciples to internalize this truth. See abhyam sarvabhootebhyo, what great concept. I am not going to compete with any of you. I am a dropout from this mad race. So nobody needs to be afraid of me. I am not going to be competition for anybody. I give refuge to all the animate and inanimate beings. If you just internalize this truth suddenly you will see so much of fear, anxiety, suffering, everything just drops. Understand this one truth if you internalize. Nothing can be taken away from me what I am worthy of. Nothing can be enjoyed by me if I am not worthy of. So naturally, I don’t need to compete in this mad race. So I don’t need to be threat to anyone’s life. I am not threat to anybody. I am just dropout. Whoever comes to me, I give refuge to everybody whether they are animate or inanimate beings. Such a powerful truth, if you internalize, if you just work with this truth. You see use your reasoning to work with this truth. Naturally you will see, your kutarka will be saying, no, no, how can I give refuge, I myself need refuge, what kind of man I am? The kutarka will tell all kinds of things. No, no, no, you are such a weak guy. How do you give refuge to everybody? And you are like this only today you decide, tomorrow you will forget all these things, it’s OK. Your kutarka will tell all kinds of things. Your mind will say, no, no, no, no, no, how can this be true? I cannot be a dropout, I have this, I have that. All these things will come up. But just have that vitarka, the right reasoning. The shraddha. Try to work with this idea, suddenly you will see, when you understand yes, true! Whatever I am acquiring if I am not worthy I am not able to enjoy. I may have bed, I may have car, but I don’t sleep. It means what? I am not able to enjoy which I am not worthy of and I am always given for which I am worthy of. If you work with the right reasoning this truth suddenly puts you in ananda. With any truth, any idea, if your logic goes inside and comes out with ananda you are with vitarka, right reasoning. With anything your logic goes inside and comes out with the pain, depression you are in kutarka. I have seen. People will have all kinds of kutarka’s. I have seen all kinds of kutarka’s. If you give paid meditation program, paid program, they will ask, ‘Why money is charged?’ If you give like this free programs, ‘why it is in the evening, it should have been in the weekend, why is it in the weekdays it should have been in the weekend. If it is weekend, why not near our place? The temple is too far away from us. And if it is near your place, ‘why don’t you do it in my backyard?’ And even if it is the backyard, ‘can I listen from my room?’ So kutarki’s! Anything! And they are such a powerful people they can make hell out of heaven. No, they can make hell out of heaven. They don’t need anything to do. Understand they can make hell out of heaven. And they will be waiting to create hell. Even if they are in heaven, they will just be contemplating about hell. Let me create, wait, wait, let me create. Maybe people are telling everything is going well, but it is not, I am waiting for all these things to end, then I will show that this is hell. They will be very clear.

I have a story about that. A couple in their 90’s appeared before a judge to ask for a divorce. The wife mourned, ‘He gambles, he stays out nights, he run’s around with women, I can’t take anymore’. The husband counted, ‘she does not do any housework, her cooking is atrocious, she has no time for me, she sleeps around’. How long this has been going on? Asked the judge. Both of them choroused, ‘about 70 years’. Now it is too much, the judge was bemused. ‘So why did you wait till now to get a divorce?’ Both of them said, ‘well we were waiting for the kids to die’. (audience laughs) You may be waiting for the kids to die to make hell but understand kutarka always leads to hell and vitarka always leads to ananda. Vichara means contemplation, looking in, looking in. Looking in always leads to pure awareness, pure awareness, asmita. Understand? Asmita and ananda put together is samadhi. Pure awareness and bliss put together is samadhi. Here, the vichara, vichara means look in. Understand, if you just look in, without doing anything, just looking in, is enough, you will achieve asmita, the pure awareness. These two words, the vitarka is supposed to be practiced 24 hours, it’s a technique to do 24 hours. Constantly mending your reasoning. Right reasoning. Vichara is a technique which you need to do sitting for an hour, half an hour with closed eyes. Vichara is the technique, vitarka is the lifestyle. Then ananda and asmita will overflow in your being. Do vitarka whole day. Whole day straighten out your logic. Constantly bring right reasoning, right reasoning, right reasoning, relaxing. Understanding with right thing. Means, decide you will live to express the maximum of your body and mind. That is what I call right reasoning. Means you will live for enlightenment. Anything you reason should lead you back to enlightenment. Should lead you back to that one concept atmangnana, jeevan mukthi. Then you are with vitarka. Anything takes you away from jeevan mukthi, is kutarka. And vicahara, whenever you find time, sit, look in, just look in, you will see by and by, by and by. See if you start looking in at least half and hour, 40 minutes, whenever you find time by sitting, 2, 3 months is more than enough for you to touch that asmita. That pure awareness. More than that is not needed because how much you will fight with you? You will also be tired of talking to yourself. You’ll be bored of fighting with you. Because you are not that intelligent to bring new, new reasons to fight with you. So naturally after 2, 3 fight you will be bored with that old reason and you will say enough, get lost. Array, what to do? It’s the same logic. It’s the same mind, it’s the same reason. Naturally you will say get lost, leave it. You won’t have much time to fight with it. You will be bored of the same logic. I have a story about that. After 35 years of marriage, today is marriage special! (audience laughs). A husband said he wanted a divorce. His wife was stunned. ‘But John’, she pleaded. ‘How could you want to divorce me? After all we have been through together. Remember how just after we met you caught malaria and nearly died but I looked after you. Then when your family were wiped

out in hurricane I was there for you, then when you were falsely accused of armed robbery I stood by you. Then when you lost $40,000 on the horses I sympathized and when that fire destroyed your office I comforted you. How could you leave me? We have been through so much. He says, ‘That is the problem, face it, you are just a bad luck’. Understand you will realize your mind, your kutarka are bad luck! Then you naturally renounce. You’ll naturally renounce. You will have the asmita. The pure awareness. Pure I amness. Please understand, not even I amness, just amness! Amness is the ultimate amnesty. Residing in that amness, not even I amness. Amness, just existence. The body is there, the prana is there, it is going inside, it is breathing, it is coming out, the system is working, the food is getting digested, the whole thing is happening, you are not there. Only what is, is there. That amness. Is what I call asmita. The pure existence. The pure presence. The pure awareness. So understand the sutra. Vitarka, vichara, ananda, asmita roopanagama samprajnathah. Reasoning, contemplation, blissful flowering and the state of pure awareness are the characteristics of samprajnata samadhi. If you catch only reasoning, only right reasoning, you may achieve ananda, not pure awareness. If you catch only vichara you may achieve pure awareness but not ananda. So if you do both developing right reasoning and doing a particular technique with closed eyes, if you do both, people come and tell me, Swamiji I don’t have time to meditate but I read al your books, you may have ananda, vichara will develop. You will have ananda, sometimes people come and tell me, I don’t have time to read your books but I do Nithya Dhyaan everyday. You will develop vichara, you will have pure I amness. The pure awareness. But you may not have ananda. Please understand, do both. Nithyam Dhyanam. Nithyam is what I call developing right reasoning, vitarka. And dhyanam that’s what I call vichara, contemplation. You will have the pure awareness. Asmita and bliss flowering, ananda both. Have Nithyam and dhyanam. You will have nithyanandam in your life. So let you all internalise these great truths, I bless you all, let you all achieve and radiate jeevan mukti, living enlightenment. Let you all achieve and radiate the eternal bliss, Nithyaaananda. Thank you.

The Avatar Speaks on How to Experience Vitarka

Transcript

Transcription:

00:14 Let me tell you a story of how I myself experience vitarka. See the Ganesha story, the first thing what happened is, when I heard the story... that one saint made Ganesha to eat food. First thing is tarka. When he can make him eat, I also can make him eat. That’s tarka. After that, because of regularly in the house if some kids are not eating, the only thing the elders will do is they will threaten, “Aiye, I’ll put you in the well.” See in all Indian houses, they will have a well, open well. And err... always they will torture the, they will threaten the kids saying, “If you don’t eat, I’ll throw you in the well.” That is the usual err... threatening method. So when I had my first tarka, I came back and want to feed the Ganesha and that fellow is not eating. So the usual same policy, same err... rule only works. I decided, I’ll threaten this Ganesha also like that child, like how my grandmother, all that family people will threaten. If the some child is not eating, this is the way they will threaten, “I’ll throw you in the well.”

01:39 There is a huge well in the center of the house. “I’ll throw you in the house, throw you in the well,” that’s a threatening. Then whatever I have heard, that is what will first come. The first technique I tried, I wanted to threaten the Ganesha also, “I’ll put you in the well.” He is not responding. Then I thought, “I’ll really put you in the well and show you. That a… I mean what I am saying.” Then I had that, they use the bucket to fetch water in well. I’ll put him in the bucket and lower the bucket. When the bucket touches the water, touches the water, I’ll shout from here, “Aiye, I’ll put you, I’ll really drown you, drown you.” Then, I thought he may not be able to hear. Then there will be funnels to use the err... to pour kerosene. You have seen there will be funnel in Indian villages, we will use to pour kerosene. So I took that funnel, that was my loudspeaker first I used. My first loudspeaker.

02:37 I took that funnel and held that and started shouting, so that he should hear properly. “I’ll really I’ll throw you in the well. Eat.” Of course then I realised, I did not put the food. Tsk. I thought maybe after when he is around near the water, he may change the mind and eat. So I put the food also, then erm put him inside. Again three-four times I tried. Nothing work out. Tsk! And, I really did not feel like throwing him in the well. And, finally I took him out and I thought maybe he is not liking my mother’s food. And he is not liking the food. Then I went to the temple, and got the same food which they offered in the temple, and put that food and I said, “Eh, your diet is here. Now eat.” And, again he did not eat. This is kutarka, understand. This is what is kutarka. The err… I was torturing him. I was torturing him.

03:40 One day I suddenly... like a click, it happened. Oh God! Nambiyandar Nambi that saint tortured himself, not Ganesha. In my case, I am torturing Ganesha, not myself. So I should look in. Change me, only then, he will eat. Not torturing him. That click is what I call vitarka. The right logic. The right tune. Not even logic, it’s beyond logic. The right understanding. That’s the exact err... translation of the vitarka - right connection beyond logic. So that, just that click. Then I decided, “Yes, I will not eat, till you eat.” I sat for around two and a half days. Finally eeh… after two and half days, I can’t say, I felt giddy, I can say kind of a high state - awareness, I fell into that. And, lost the external Consciousness. I saw in the vision really Ganesha was eating. In the vision, Ganesha was there and he was eating, eating the food. Then just I woke up, and, open the eyes and saw there was no food. Food was missing. And, it was very strong experience. It was very strong experience.

05:14 People sometime asked me, “Who knows whether Ganesha ate or the some rat came and ate the food when you are in that mood?” See, if Ganesha eats, what prasada he will give for me, what err… err... he will do to me? He will naturally give me such a joy, ecstasy and bliss. That has happened. Then I know for sure, because this has happened, Ganesha only ate. The prasada, what he will give has already happened in me. The strong trust, in that strong vitarka, a strong experience, then I know for sure, it is Ganesha who ate the food. Vitarka, means, feeling connected beyond your logic. Just knowing. See, knowing that it is truth by your experience is anubhuti. Knowing it is truth, because, somebody whom you feel really connected has experienced is vitarka. See, when you have vitarka, all my experiences become your experience, even before you go through the whole process. All of you understand?

06:28 See, having vitarka is almost like a direct downloading all my err... products, and, straight away copyrighting in your name. Patenting in your name, that is vitarka. Vitarka means, see, if you don’t have vitarka - every product I patented, you need to pay and take it. You need to work for it, and then take it. You have vitarka, it’s like a straight download. When you have vitarka, all the experience, all the components of Jivan Mukti I am living, straight away becomes your life changing or decision making points. For example, I do not worry because I know eternal time is in front of me. There is no stress. Even if I leave this body, if I want, I can take one more body and come back and do the work. Eternity is there in front of me. This my experience. In your case, if you don’t have vitarka, you need to go through, do the whole work and get this experience, only then you can be stress free. By the time you will be in graveyard.

07:37 Because, all the components of enlightenment which I am having for you to work, work, work and take - how much time it will take? It’ll take too much of time. That is why they say that in the yoga sutras and all, “twelve years of sadhana is needed for any experience.” If you don’t have vitarka, twelve years is needed. Because it is almost like a paying and buying a software. With vitarka, just because it is my experience, you know, “Eh! Beyond doubt, I know it is truth. Let me be stress free.” Thousands of things, thousands of amazing decisions, which can be taken only by a Jivan Mukta mental setup can be taken straight away by you - can be lived, you can enjoy all the great major decisions, and the joys which comes out of the decisions of an enlightened mind, even before becoming enlightened just by the vitarka. All of you understand why the vitarka is so important.

08:42 You see, now everyday by teaching, teaching, teaching, by giving you technical knowledge and process, I can initiate you one by one each components of Jivan Mukti. Understand, I can go on like this transmit component by component, component by component - by technical knowledge, technique, and, pross, initiation like this. But by that time all the components are reproduced, all the components are imbibed, so much of time gets wasted. You can start making the decisions just like an enlightened mind by having simple vitarka. See when you have vitarka, my experience is your experience. So how I make decisions, how I live, how I radiate, straight away you can start doing. That is what I am saying, vitarka is almost like a free download. Just directly download. And you don’t even have to struggle. You know, ‘Eh, this is what is truth. Then let us make the decision this way.” Over.

09:46 Vitarka makes you live enlightenment without you going through all the process and doing the reinvention. People who do not have vitarka, it almost like they have to do complete reinvention. See for example, from the day one you need to first invent that light. Then switch, then cot, then bed, then ac machine, then your car, then your house - you will be in graveyard. If you need to reinvent all these things, for your life, if you say, “No. I am not, I don’t believe in anybody. I don’t accept anybody. So I am not going to accept what he invented. I am going to reinvent. So I don’t, I will not bow down to Edison by using this lamp. I’ll reinvent now.” What is going to happen? Nothing, Edison is not going to lose anything. Thomas, Thomas Alva is not going to lose, lose anything. We’ll be losing.

10:45 So vitarka is actually a intelligent game. It is not foolish game. Sometime the big problem is we think emotional people are fools. No. People who can’t have the feeling connection are fools. Because having feeling connection is a different channel, it’s like a second channel. Just intellectually analysing is the first channel. You understand, that any fool can do. See criticizing and constant analysing, any fool can do. That you don’t need intelligence. But the feeling connection happens only by, only for intelligent people. That’s a second channel. So vitarka reduces lot of your suffering, reduces lot of your struggle - straight away makes a lot of things easy for you. The vitarkas, see vitarka is not blind faith. One more thing, understand, it’s not blind faith. It’s not blind faith. Just beyond logic, you know, “Yes, it’s right. It’s right. It’s right.” “It sounds good. It sounds right. It sounds true.”

11:52 Sometime you will feel exactly what you always wanted to tell, but did not know the right word to tell - I am telling. That is what is vitarka feeling. “Hey, I always wanted to tell this, but I did not know the right word. He told.” That is the vitarka. Vitarka does the job of using all the benefits of all components of Jivan Mukti without going through all those process, and wasting too much of time. So if you want, you see, there are some people who are very adamant, “I will make and I will earn and I live.” Then go ahead. There are some people, “Arey! Why waste life unnecessarily. Come on, let’s start enjoying. Who, who cares it is who’s wealth? As long as it is around me, it’s mine.” Go ahead and enjoy. Over. Let us be more practical. So, you should find out whether you are the first category or second category. “Who cares, who’s it is. As long as it makes life rich, joyful. Come on, let’s enjoy. It’s ours.”

13:09 So decide. Deciding based on intelligence. Deciding based on the right understanding, beyond logic. Actually it is, it is not even a big process. You just need to have a conscious decision. I am dropping my ego of analysing, analysing. What do you know first of all which is right and wrong? First of all your logic which is telling you right and wrong is cheating you. You don’t know, but you go on, “No, no, no, no, I, you don’t know me. I don’t accept anything so easily.” Ramakrishna says very nicely, “This crow thinks he is very intelligent, and goes around and shouts at everybody. Finally, comes and eats filth.” No, crow thinks he is very intelligent guy, and this fellow go around, and complain about everything, everybody, criticise. Finally comes back and… He’s a village guy, not polished. And, that’s why the truth is straight. Ramakrishna that’s what as the, as he says, “Many time you trust the logic which tells everybody else is a cheat and finally only that logic cheats, cheats you. It can doubt everybody else but not you. Not itself.”

14:31 So it’s like a, keeping a security, so that he will protect you from everybody. Finally that fellow kills you. That fellow kills you. That is the way, many time we get caught with our own pseudo logic. Solid logic is like a polishing, polishing, polishing, polishing, polishing. It is just polishing. Continuously polishing, polishing, polishing. What will happen when you polish the err… knife again and again and again and again polishing? What will happen? So it’ll become sharp. That erm, the actual logic by its own very existence, you see the tarka by its very existence will sharpen itself continuously. So naturally it has to become vitarka. Unless you interfere and make it as kutarka, it’ll simply become vitarka. I tell you, even these three-four days, if you guys just sit with tarka - simple logic, without kutarka, without negativity, anger - it’ll grown to vitarka. It’ll just grow to vitarka. Because this by logic, logic by its own logic constantly sharpens itself. Constantly sharpens itself. Sharpened logic is always vitarka. Sharpened logic leads you to vitarka.

15:56 So, vitraka takes away many sufferings, many unnecessary practices. Practices which are not needed for everybody. Many components of the Jivan Mukti can be transmitted directly into you just through the vitarka. Without even going through all the dramas and all the things necessary for the experience. Even if you feel you don’t have vitarka and you want vitarka, just create a strong prayer - you will see that the tarka breaks and evolves into vitarka. It leads to vitarka. But consciously you need to decide, “Yes, vitarka is right and I want that! It has to happen in me!” These decisions you have need to make. A strong arrogance, “I know so many things. I have seen so many things. I know so many Gurus. I know so many things.” Something kind of a or start with some that self moral ideas. Tsk. See, you constantly project to people, “I can’t be bend so easily.” Ah so that you take that as a pride. And now you wanted to say that, now slowly slowly you tell that to yourself, and cheat yourself, “Eh, I don’t bend, I don’t bend, I don’t bend.”

17:19 Now if you want to bend your own half part will get, “Hey, you are not a guy to bend. Why are you bending?” Then live with that fellow, that’s all. That’s like having wife inside you. No, really I have seen. The ten years what I can’t do on a disciple, one year of marriage just… No really! US err guys, the NRI Indians are losing their next generation kids. That’s the worst thing happening to these guys - losing the kids. They are all losing the kids. These guys somehow they’ll try to get their kids err… to the ashram or to the function, so that they can retain them. When they bring these guys, and they, they put some conditions, “I will do only what I want.” These guys put the condition, “Alright, it’s okay, somehow come.” They bring them. And when they come in the queue, the in front of me only all will go on. The father and mother will tell, “Eh, touch the feet!” And that guy will tell… (Swamiji imitates the ignoring face). See, I don’t want this fellow to touch my feet. What is there for me, I have nothing to do. And it’s a waste of time for me. If that fellow moves, then I’ll at least attend the other person.

18:28 Too many people are standing and I have to go and do my work. And, and… anyhow the argument will go on for two-three minutes. I’ll tell, “No, no, it’s okay. Don’t bother. Don’t disturb him. It’s okay.” Please you go away, I’ll just say, “Hi, how are you? Err… nice of you that you are here. Thank you for coming.” And then that fellow is, “Oh, he is connecting with me.” That fellow also will act no two-three moments really cool, “Hi, nice, nice seeing you. It was nice.” And then I’ll tell them, “Alright. Okay, okay, go.” Inside my mind I think, “fellow get married.” That’s all. One year, next time when that fellow comes, he falls flat! He just falls flat. And now the way in which he is standing. He completely learns obedience, respect. Everything is taught. And anything I said, “Yes, yes Swamiji. Yes, Swamiji. Yes, Swamiji.” You can’t imagine, you saw this same fellow the last trip. And it’s almost like as if he has done LBE.

19:42 All components of enlightenment is transmitted without an enlightened Guru or disciple. So, God saw He can’t produce so much of enlightened beings to train all the people. So He decided as create a system, which can train people by themself, by its own strength. That system is what is called marriage. No, what I am saying, I don’t know if you are married twenty five years, but if you have two-threes err... relationships, then I can say enlightenment is guaranteed. Because, you see with one relationship enlightenment is option. Without that also you can survive. But when you have two-three, without that you can’t survive. Without enlightenment, you can’t survive. It almost like a, either you are enlightened or you have to lose the mind.

20:40 So just make this decision, that vitarka is right and I wanted to have. It should happen. That’s all. You will see deep vitarka flowering. Understand. Now I’ll really create the energy. What you want in your system will become reality. If ah, if you decide consciously, “I want vitarka. Let that happen.” That’s all. I’ll see that the thought becomes reality. Vitarka is the right word. Means, starting with the deep friendliness and connection, feeling connection. The surrender, bhakti and all, let it happen. You don’t ask that. Hmm. You ask only for deep friendly connection. Friendliness and the deep feeling connection. 21:38

The Avatar Reveals How to Re-program Yourself

Transcript

(00:23) Samskaras… Samskara means… No, you don’t need to pen down. Just Imbibe first. The thoughts which goes on in you again and again like a unconscious pattern, makes you do things even though you know they are not going to fulfilyour mission, even the actions, activities which are not going to fulfil your life’s purpose. Simple example I can give is smoking and drinking. You know, the habit of smoking, not only is going to fulfil your mission, it is not going to allow you to remain healthy, to fulfil your mission. All of you understand. So, fulfilling your mission, fulfilling your life’s purpose, main thing you need to understand please… sometimes you are ready to even forego, fulfilment of your life due to patterns. Samskaras, I think all of you are able to understand the concept, Samskaras. Thoughts, ideas, which stays inside you, makes you do many actions, even if you know it will not fulfil your life, that is patterns - Samskaras. (02:28) Second step, second important thing you need to know - these patterns remain in you at different level. Some are like a liquid, easy to handle -just the habit of coffee. Some are like solid, like frozen-ice, difficult to break, like habit of drinking. There are some, which are impossible to break, they have become like a ice stone. That constant agitation, that kind of patterns you can see, they become like aice stone inside you.When a pattern starts in your life. For example, you start smoking.At the beginning level, you may smoke 3-4 cigarettes a day, very royal, just not as a addiction but just to show you are a hero. I have seen one of My own Master Great Yogi, his name is Ram Surat Kumar, His Samadhi is here. This Yogi, great Yogi, He will smoke very royally. When you start the habit, it is only like a water in you, it’s only like a pattern developing, but after 5 years of smoking if you don’t smoke, you will be imbalanced, you will be agitated, that is the time the smoking has become your Muscle-Memory. Now, it is like frozen ice, water has frozen like a ice. If you don’t act, your body, your mind will be disturbed, you will be agitated, restless. After 25 years of smoking, now that has become bio-memory. Even if you have cancer, you will not stop, no doctor will be able to stop, it becomes bio-memory. Understand, when it is just habitual suffering in your day to day life, it is called patter. When it becomes psychological, mental suffering, it is muscle-memory. When it becomes physical disease, it is bio-memory. Understand, I have given you simple example of smoking but, I can give you millions of examples. physical suffering, mental suffering. (05:53) When it is pattern, it’s in the initial level. When it becomes mental suffering, it’s a muscle-memory. When it becomes physical suffering, it becomes bio-memory.Samskaras, engrams originate from the conditioning and the personal experiences you carry. Samskaras generate thoughts and belief systems in you, which runs your life, it’s like a… once the samskara gets inside, from inside you are being controlled, pulled, pushed, dragged. I can give one example: in India how, we tame the elephants. India is a country tames largest number of elephants. Even though elephants are there in Africa and all; the art of taming the elephants and using them like a pet. If you to go Kerala, lot of houses will have their own pet, one elephant. Any of you are from Kerala and you know, lot of houses they will have that elephant as a pet. In India, we mastered the science of taming the elephants and keeping them like a pet. In every templein south, whether its Karnataka, Andhra or Tamilnadu, you go, you will see an elephant. You will see an elephant in every temple. (07:40) If you see, how they tame the elephant - when it’s a small baby, they will tie a rope strong enough to bound the… to bind the elephant, so that baby will try its best to break the rope. Naturally, it won’t be able to break, it will fail. But after it grows, it can easily break the rope. But because of its old engram, that idea it carries -‘it cannot break’, it will never try, and it will never break. Many time you can see in your life, when you are a child, if your mother says don’t go in the rains you will catch cold, after you grow 25 years after, even though your immune system is very strong now, can handle anything, not only you will not go in the rain, even if you see raining through window, achhhh… you will start sneezing. The pattern you carry, the Samskaras you carry forms like a negative knot inside you. For example, if you strongly believe you have a samskara ‘you are allergic to milk’, the moment someone offers you coffee, “hey, if I drink this coffee, I will have allergy, I will have stomach pain, I will have loose motion, I may have diarrhoea, I may be admitted in the hospital. I think this fellow wants to kill me, that is why he is giving me the milk’. (09:52) The negative pattern, it just spreads. Knots are your negative thinking patterns. It is these knots which are the root cause for your suffering. All your addictions, all your major decisions… Please understand, all your decisions are made out of addictions. I tell you; you don’t make any decisions spontaneously. Much of your decisions are made out of addictions. When you are agitated, even if a big business offer comes, ‘hey, get lost. I don’t need any of this’. Yourone ‘get lost’ can make your whole life poor sometimes.That is the way. Butunfortunately, your mind suffers with those same patterns and tortures itself. (11:21) This whole 21-day program is all about reprogramming all levels of your samskaras, whether it is a pattern level, muscle-memory level, bio-memory level. In all three levels, reprogramming your bio-memory, your samskaras, is the purpose of this program. If you just understand this few simple things you can make the whole program successful very easily for you, very quickly for you. You can catch it very quickly. If you have a simple feeling connection… Please understand, the simple feeling connection. I can do this process easily for you. Please understand, either you can do it on your own or you can give the contract to me. I can do it for you. I cannot take your contract if there is no feeling connection and nothing else can make me take the contract. It is feeling connection. Only that can make me take the contract. Please understand, what is feeling connection? Let me explain, feeling connection means having a open space for me to enter and work inside your patterns. Each field has their own ethics other than… like doctors have some ethics, every field has their own ethics. Same way in my field, there are some ethics Enlightened beings have to follow. I cannot enter into your inner space and see or do any work unless you permit me. (13:34) People ask me many times, ‘Can’t you read my mind without telling, me telling you?’ I tell them, ‘No, I cannot. As ethics, I am bound, I cannot look into your inner space unless you request me to. I cannot work on your inner space unless you request me to’. Please understand, this 21-day program can happen in a different level. Either it can happen, I can go on teach you Kriyas, process, mediation, you can do it on your own or you can allow me to do, that can take away almost 80% of your work. Allowing me to do needs one pre-requisite, a strong feeling connection, trust. Without that, I can act as a, I can play the role of a teacher, Guru. But, when there is a feeling connection, I can play much bigger role, I can just bulldoze and demolish the patterns you carry, which you will take some 25-30 years to work on and on and on. I can just put few detonators; the Initiation is what I call detonators. I can just put few detonators and bombard the whole thing. (15:28) The feeling connection, let me describe, give you some example from my own life about feeling connection. When I was completing the 3rd Birthday, sorry third year, in the same, now it looks like a town, in those days it was just a beautiful village. This is My hometown where I was born, brought up, lived and all my leelas happened– leelasthana. When I was three, when I had the third birthday, my father gifted me a small Ganesh, a deity. Those days as a child, I literally felt and strongly believed, had feeling connection the deities are Gods. Understand, it is not statue for me, it is God. So, I used to strongly believe, even in the temple, the deities eat food and they are living Gods. When I was given this small deity of Ganesha. Ganesha is the son of Shiva. (17:07) If you are new to Hinduism, I will introduce - Shiva is the largest worshipped God in Hindu tradition. He is supposed to be the head of the pantheon of Gods in Hindu tradition. Hindu tradition has something like 33 crore Gods and I believe that was the population in those days, each one can have your own personalised customised God, that’s a freedom Hinduism gave for every body and Mahadeva, Shiva is supposed to be the head, Lord of all the Gods and Ganesh is the first son of Shiva. And, I was given the deity of Ganesha, small deity. I started playing with it, living with it, just like barbie doll, when you give a barbie doll to your kids, how they cloth it and bathe it and literally live with it. Morning when I wake up, I will wake him up from my bed, when I brush my teeth, I will brush him also. You can still see the deity with lot of scratches in this area, it’s all my brushing. I will try to brush him with my toothbrush, and when I take bath, I will give him bath. When I put clothes, I will put him… give him also clothes and the ashes and the sandal paste, everything and when I eat, I will try to make him eat. Of course, food won’t go inside but, I will put the food in the mouth and tell hey, “eat, eat, eat.” You are not eating, properly if you don’t eat, you will not grow. Whatever my mother tells me, I used to tell him, and I literally lived with him. (19:09) Then, of course in those days’ kids will go to school only at the age of 6. So, no school, but I will play with him. He is my playmate. Night, when I go to sleep, I will put him next to My bed. So, usually I sleep with My mother, My mother will be this side, I will put him this side and tell, ‘you sleep with your mother, I will sleep with My mother’. And, one day I went to the temple. In the temple every day you will see some elderly person will be coming and sitting and telling some story in the temple. There will be some discourse, some satsang, some pravachan. It's a regular lifestyle in this city. Everyday somebody will be talking in the temple giving some discourses, satsang’s. One elderly person, he was telling some story. He was telling a story about how Ganesha ate the food when a saint offered. Let me tell you the story, only then you will understand the whole background completely. There was a elderly man in a village. He used to do temple worship everyday to Ganesha. One day, he was sick, he did not go to the worship. He sent his son. The son went and offered the food to the Ganesha as usual, but Ganesha did not eat as usual. But this child thought Ganesha will usually used to eat. So, he forced Ganesha – ‘You please eat. Otherwise my father will scold me.Why are you not eating?’. But Ganesh did not eat. Then this child started hitting his head on the temple wall saying that, ‘If you don’t eat, I will commit suicide because my father will scold me. He will not allow me to live.You eat. When the child was trying to commit suicide, Ganesha appeared and stopped the child and he ate the food. It’s a story, a great saint story and that child became a great saint. (21:37) When I heard that story, I was shocked. Suddenly I felt –‘Then why is this,My Ganesha is not eating? I am being cheated’. I ran to the house back. My family used to leave just near the temple. I ran to the house, back from the temple, because I was listening to the story from the temple… ran to the house back and caught hold of My Ganesha and told him – ‘You have to eat’. I tried all my story telling, everything to Ganesha, he did not budge, he did not eat. Next day, I was sitting and thinking – ‘what to do, this guy is not eating’. By now I developed the idea he is now ada… My Ganesha is adamant. So, I was brought up in a large joint family where more than 20-25 kids have grown up together.It’s almost like a small nursery. In the house, if somebody doesn’t eat, my grandmother will threaten them –‘I will throw you in the well’. Centre of the house used to be a huge well. The house I was born and brought up is almost like 80,000 sq. feet. I will show you guys.From this street to that street and this side to that side, single house that size and still there are bits remain in the same way, same old way.The house is almost 300 years old. Centre of the house there used to be a well. The grandmother will shout, ‘If you don’t eat, I will throw you in the well’. That is the idea clicked with me. I told Ganesha,‘If you don’t eat, I will throw you in the well’. Habits… So, I threatened… I started threatening My Ganesha –‘if you don’t eat,I will put you in the well’. So, I took up that bucket in which they fetch the water and put the Ganesha and lowered him to the water level.From here I started shouting, ‘Hey, eat.Otherwise I will put you in the well’. Suddenly I remembered. maybe now he has changed his mind, but I have not put the food inside.So, I took him out, put the food and put him.Then lowered the bucket to the water level… in that levelI will move the rope and tell, ‘hey, now eat. Otherwise I will drop you in the well’. Of course, he was not budging. I also did not have the courage to drop him in the well because he is too much for me.He means really a lot for me. He is my friend, everything … my companion for play and everything. Of course, he did not budge for that also. He did not eat. Then I had the thought – ‘May be the food… he doesn’t like My mother’s cooking’. So, I went to the temple, asked the temple priest whatever they are offering, the same food they gifted the… they gave the same food. I brought to the house the same food and told him, ‘Now you eat’. He didnot budge. (25:22) Suddenly, while I was arguing with My Ganesha,it clicked - ‘hey, that saint, when Ganesh did not eat, he tortured himself. But here I am torturing Ganesha. How will Ganesha eat?’.Thatclick, I can say, that click was the turning point in my spiritual life. I decided I will not eat till he eats. I will not torture him anymore. So, I put the food…sat. Two and a half days, as a three-year-old child, did not eat, sleep. Just, I will sit.Even in those days, very stubborn. The will was so strong. Did not eat and sat without eating. It was a very strong experience. I could see very clearly, Ganesha appearing and I fell into a kind of altered state of consciousness. I could see very clearly Ganesha ate. When I opened my eyes, the plate was empty. Because, I know the feeling I had at that moment was so strong, the devotion I had. It is like a ‘experience strengthening the belief’. The faith was transformed as trust. That feeling connection gave me the tremendous courage and confidence to begin my spiritual journey. (27:38) I tell you all. It is feeling connection which gives you the strength to begin your journey.Nothing else. Curiosity can start but feeling connection only give you the endurance to go through the journey.The deep feeling connection. When the feeling connection starts, I know for an educated man it will look something like impossible. No! Nothing…nothing is impossible. Feeling connection is like a new channel in the life. When that opens, life becomes new, really new, literally new. When that closes, life becomes dead. (28:51) So many of My devotees ask Me, ‘Swamiji, why this ex devotees, they put on weight, so much depressed?’. Even if you know any of the ex-devotees, see them, how they put on weight, lose health, lose grace in the face, face becomes dull, dead. Because feeling connection is a new channel opens in your life.When you lose that, big wealth is lost in your life. I tell you - I will give up anything in my life other than feeling connection. Feeling connection with ultimate. Whatever you see as ultimate in your life. If you see God is the ultimate experience happened in your life, have feeling connection with that. If you see Guru is the ultimate experience happened in your life, have feeling connection with that. If you have feeling connection with any, one, that’s enough. Always when you have feeling connection with any, one, other also appears in your life. If you have a strong feeling connection with God, he appears in your life as Guru. If you have strong feeling connection with Guru, he makes you experience God. (30:18) Sometimes Guru makes you have God in your life, sometimegod makes you have guru in your life. But both always lead one another, lead you to one another. When the feeling connection starts, the new dimension of your life starts. Even now while I am doing Nirahara Samyama, you see last… I think 40 days or may be… I don’t know… 2 months. From last Inner Awakening, may be 2 months, I didnot eat.Only last few days, once in a while, some prasadam I started taking, and that also not regularly. Even now, I tell you if the body feels like it needs something, just if I repeat the, just this two-letter Shiva, Shiva. That’s all. The feeling connection is so much, it just shakes the body. (31:40) I tell you, feeling connection is the biggest asset in your life. If you can open yourself with the feeling connection, you don’t need to feel like, ‘Oh, I am not able to’. No! How much ever you canthat’s enough. Then, I will enter and start My job. Once I start My job, the feeling connection will increase. Because My journey started with Ganesha it has become successful. Anything starts with Ganeshabecomes successful. It started properly withGanesha.It has become successful. Feeling connection is one of the ultimate wealth. Open your heart and open that feeling connection, then I can easily bull doze and finish off all the patterns and samskaras you carry and free you just like that. We will gather for next session. Thank you. Let’s gather for next session. Thank you. (33:11)

The Avatar Speaks in Detail on How to Experience Completion

Transcript

Today I wanted to make this statement first. This is going to be the subject for the Nithya satsang today. Please listen. With completion starts LIFE. Otherwise you are running out of compulsion. Either you run the life in compulsion, or completion. With completion, your life starts. With compulsion – No, No! Not only you don’t have life, you constantly reduce the level of your life. I wanted you to know, human life is not happening in the same frequency in planet earth. How can you compare, how can you say - the man who is in ecstasy enjoying the life, enrich himself and others in a monastery, and the man who is in prison given up on himself and others and the given upon by society, and the man who is in the political power center, who is between so much of patterns and sufferings and suffocations – How can you say all these people are in the same frequency? No! You need to get out of the myth – a very big myth taught to you – Human life happens in same frequency. It’s a LIE. How many of you cognized what I said now? Human life does not happen in same frequency. Every individual’s frequency differs. /* Hindi 2.48 – 3.12 */ When you are in completion, anything you declare becomes reality. Anything you declare becomes reality. Understand, if you see in south Indian temples, they have a unique method of making arches out of stone. They will just arrange one stone, one stone, one stone one stone. The center stone, they will insert it in such a way – Just because of the pressure of the center stone, the whole arch will stand as it is. How many of you have seen these kind of arches? Without collapsing, the arch will stand. I tell you, if your declaration is powerful, that is the center key stone that’ll keep your life stand miraculously. When I saw that arch first time, in Tiruvannamalai in one monastery, there is a Mutt called “Ishanya Mutt”. In that Mutt, that arch is there. When I saw that arch first time, I was shocked and I thought it’s a miracle, It is standing. How can a pieces of stone stand together? Then I understood. That key stone, because of its pressure, its holding the whole arch in the shape. Your declaration, out of completion is the key stone holding your life as it is, miraculously. If miracles are happening in your life continuously, it is the declaration out of completion. One man calls his son and asks – “You should get married”. Son says “Noo! I don’t want to.” “No. I will get you – your wife is Bill Gates’ daughter.” He looks and “OK then, I will get married”. This guy goes to Bill Gates and says – “Give your daughter to my son”. He says “No! No way.” “No, he is the CEO of the world bank.” Then Bill Gates says – “ok then, I’ll give.” The guy goes 3rd meeting, Head of the world bank and says - “Give my son, the CEO job of the world bank.” That guy says – “No No way.” “No, he is the son in law of Bill gates” “Ok then, I will give.” <swamiji’s laughter> Understand, the whole thing standing with his declaration. He did it. It may look like a cheating. I don’t think it is cheating. I see very clearly only the power of declaration in his words. I got this story in the facebook. Somebody sent. But the end of the the moral of story is – ‘this is what is business.’ When I read, I said “No! I don’t see any business in it. I see only the power of declaration in it.” A stone arch stands by the power of the center stone miraculously. Your life can stand miraculously by the power of your declaration out of completion. Today I will give you the exact process of the completion, by continuing my childhood story – I was sitting and waiting for Ganesha to eat, me without eating. Did not eat for 2 and half days. 3rd day evening, I don’t know whether it is, you can call it as a miracle or the power of authenticity. That time I understood as a miracle. Now I’ll call that as a power of authenticity. When you are authentic, and ready to stretch, beyond your perceived capabilities by your mind, Listen, The perceived capabilities of your mind, what your mind feels as your capability, if you can stretch beyond that, the power of authenticity moves the world. The world listens to you. 3rd day evening, I could see very clearly, my mind has raised to the level of bhava samdhi, means the zone where the solid is not solid, liquid is not liquid, where that gap between the solid and the liquid is just overlapping on each other. It is like a – when the ice and water meets and melts, that zone. Neither the formlessness nor the physical form. I know, I am not able to express. I am just managing. You can say the doorstep. Neither you are in nor you are out. Same way, nor in the space of complete formlessness, or in the space of name and form. where the solid is becoming liquid. where the form is becoming formless. That zone. That is what I call Bhava samadhi. The, my inner space got pushed into that bhava samadhi space. I could see Ganesha eating. When my space got settled, when I opened my eyes, I tell you, I had the prasada. I can declare clearly, I have that tremendous trust and I could see now, the authenticity has flowered into responsibility and decision to enrich. With the power of integrity, I decided to feed Ganesha, With the power of authenticity I took the responsibility of making him eat. After the experience, the joy of enriching, means to share with world has started happening in my system. People can have their own doubts – who knows? Whether Ganesha ate, or Ganesha’s vehicle - mouse ate. Whether the rat ate. If Ganesha eats, he will give the prasada of tremendous trust, love, devotion. I had the prasada. So I can be very sure Ganesha ate. Now the lessons which you can internalize in your life from this story – The tremendous trust, power. Trust on power of integrity. That’s the first lesson. Many time, people ask me – “How can I, if I just say I’m complete, How can I be complete?” You can! Because you are nothing but the words you uttered. You are nothing but the bunch of the words you uttered, consciously or unconsciously to you or to others. Unfortunately most of it, 99.99% of it is unconscious. That is where the problem starts. You are nothing but the bunch. Totality of the words you uttered. The words you utter. Many time, you do not recognize the power of the words you utter. You do not recognize the power of the words you utter. You do not recognize, especially the power of the words you utter towards you. Tremendous trust over the power of integrity. You always feel- “I am integrated but still I need to evolve.” Over! When you have these words in you, you will never be complete. You should know – “If I am integrated now, If I declare completion now, I am complete. I am nothing but the words I utter. I am nothing but the words I utter, inside and outside”. The words you utter inside and outside is 100% you. It is not bad news. It is good news. Understand. Because, you CAN change NOW! 15-30 minutes If you are thinking, ‘Oh, I am just a word, then I have done such a big mess, I have done so much mess, what can I do?’ If you are suffering with the past, it is the bad news for you. If you can understand now you CAN change, it is good news for you! Now you CAN change! Now you CAN change! Because if you can utter the word now and complete, “I drop the past; it has no power over me”, you can be complete now! You might have uttered you are incomplete million times to you in the past, but even uttering once in the present you are complete can finish off all your million declarations in the past, because when the time and space crosses, the declarations you make are alive and powerful! Always time and space crosses in the present moment. In any legal system, the latest order will be the order which will be executed which should be executed. Even in your life, your latest declaration only will be executed. If you declare completion now, you are complete. You may say, ‘No! No! Now I am saying I am complete, but I am not complete.’ Then already you have decided you don’t want to be complete! Don’t you see? DECLARE you are complete! Roar like a lion and stand on completion! I tell you, you are nothing but the words you utter. You are nothing more than the words you utter. (Hindi) Understand, the first lesson you need to learn from this story is the ability to trust the power of your Integrity. If you say, “I am free”, you ARE free! If you say you are bound, you ARE bound! If you say you are a liar, you ARE a liar! If you say you are enriching, you ARE enriching! It is just YOU! The words you utter to you and to others is life! What a big relief! It can be a great news for you if you start living it. It can be a good news for you if you start believing it. It can be bad news for you if you start worrying about it. But the words you utter towards you and to others is YOU, YOU, YOU! If you utter the word, again and again, “I am efficient”, “I am powerful”, you ARE that! If you utter the word “No! I am powerless, I am inefficient”, you ARE that! (Hindi) Second truth you need to know, the power of your Authenticity, even in the initial level, it looks like inauthenticity. Stand by it; it will rise and rise to the next, next, next level of Authenticity. In this story, in the beginning, when I started feeding or planning to feed Ganesha, it was inauthentic. It was not authentic. But, even if it is inauthentic, when you are authentic towards your inauthenticity, it will lead to Authenticity. Like, any number, any equation if you multiply with zero, it will become zero. Same way, how much ever your inauthenticity can be authentic, even towards your inauthenticity, it will become authentic. Millions of years of your inauthenticity has no face in front of one inch of your authenticity. Everyone has to die; The people who go to the Yama’s house can never return his millions or billions of years of rule. But Nachiketa’s authenticity has broken the millions of years of rule. So, your Authenticity can break any rule, can break any suffering, can break any inauthenticity you carry. Third important thing, lesson you need to know: When you take the responsibility, when you decide to become responsible, simply the whole Cosmos listens to you, follows you! With Responsibility even if you sit in one corner, the very space changes the response the way the world responds towards you. Vivekananda says beautifully, ’In India, even if we want wealth, we sit under a tree and create the space. It happens around us!’ He told these words in the U.S., the country which teaches you that you have to work so hard to accumulate wealth. If you sit with yourself, you may accumulate peace, but not even a piece of bread! Vivekananda says, ‘No in India, even to accumulate wealth, we just sit and create the space, and it happens!’ Understand! What else do you think I did in my life? I just sat under the Banyan Tree and created the space. See, the city happening here! Do you know this land when it was donated to me, it was infested with 1,800 snakes! Because there was a snake farm here; before donating this land to us, that owner he moved the snake farm out. When he was welcoming me to this land he told me, ‘Swamiji we moved almost all the snakes. We had 30,000 snakes earlier. We slowly, slowly sold and moved everything out. But during the transition, 1,800 snakes escaped, Swamiji!’ They were extracting venom here. It was a legal snake park. It was running legally as a business, industry. That is the way it was handed over to me. See today, a city has happened! Full-fledged temple, and at least a few hundred people can stay. People from all over the world can watch from here. Please understand, it took two-and-a-half years for us to get a telephone connection! Just a telephone connection! 2005 mid we got the telephone connection! But now, anything I speak sitting here, all over the world people are listening! Just I created the space! It is not only now a spiritual city, it is getting developed. It is the, now this place has become the model, source for multiple spiritual cities happening all over the world! Multiple spiritual cities happening all over the world! Understand! It became inspiration for multiple spiritual cities to happen all over the world! So, when you take responsibility, sit, by creating the space and ready to sacrifice, simply the world moves based on your word! The world moves as you want! 30-40min The fourth principle, fourth truth you need to learn from this: When Ganesha ate, I saw the tremendous joy, the inspiration to raise myself to the next level, enrich myself and enrich others. It is not that after that I kept quiet. I started creating a group of people, going around and worshipping every Ganesha in the city and village. The first public function I organized is for Ganesh Chathurthi. I think at the age of eight or nine, I gathered all the my classmates & chamchas and disciples, went around and collected donations, called the VIP guests, made all the arrangements, in the Arunachaleshwara Temple. The Ganesha under the Banyan Tree, incidentally the same Banyan Tree; please understand, when I say “same”, I mean even the DNA is same! We did a medical test we did a forensic lab test; we discovered even the DNA is the same! It’s a This Banyan Tree and that Banyan Tree, both are brothers! They both are from the same source, are from the same root. Understand, when I had this experience, it is not that I just slep with myself, I just kept it with myself. No! Immediately it has made me to enrich others. Understand, any experience you have, if you want to find out whether it is true experience or not, if you are having the inspiration, power to enrich others, it is a true experience, or it is your fantasy, false imagination. Real experience will empower you. How to find out whether my Kundalini is awakened or not? You will take the responsibility and enrich yourself and the world, equivalent to a Peetadheeshwar. Few hundreds will be enriched by you. If that happens, then your Kundalini is awakened; otherwise it is not! If you live with the pattern of “life is a suffering”, wherever you go, whatever you do, life is suffering. If you understand life is a life is a life – please listen, I am not saying you should create a pattern “life is joy or bliss”. No! I am not saying you should create a pattern or you should not create a pattern. I just wanted to tell you only one thing, if you decide life is a life is a life with Authenticity, you will explode in the highest possible peak experience of life, the highest possible peak experience of life. Keep the life alive by living these four principles. Go on listening. Go on doing the completion. Now I will give you the exact process of completion: · Declare with Integrity you are going to be complete. That is the first step.

· Second, any incompletion sitting inside you, sit with the mirror and start talking it out (Swapoornathwa). If it is related to somebody else, start talking to that person with the motive of completion, not with the motive of taking revenge or creating a new fight! Don’t go and do that! Then it is like a elephant going to take bath, but puts the mud on its face and comes back more dirty! Sometimes people go to complete with the wife and start talking and pick up a new fight, and come back more depressed, more incomplete! Go and talk to them with the decision to complete. · And third, third is a very important thing. Whatever you think still it is sitting inside you after Swapoornathwa – completion with you and completion with others – complete it through cathartic processes like Glassalolia – talking in tongues – Manipuraka Shuddhi Kriya. Use these types of kriyas, and through catharsis complete it. These three are the direct processes, direct method to achieve completion. Complete with these four tattwas. Bring completion within you with these four tattwas. Understand, bring yourself to completion through all these three methods.
