Q & A Kailash Yatra Living The Tattvas - Kulaguru & Satguru

Description:

In today’s morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda answers a question on the significance of Kailash yatra. He explains that Kailash is a place where millions of enlightened beings are living in the energy field of Shiva. To benefit from this energy, we should make the yatra with an incarnation who can truly guide us. Nithyananda then speaks on how to know whether we are living the four principles. When every idea we have feels possible and every word we speak becomes reality, we have achieved integrity and authenticity. Finally, He clarifies that when we move from our kula guru (family guru) to sadguru, we are not committing guru droha – we are not abandoning the first guru. We simply graduate to a higher level of instruction and consciousness.

I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the viewers of Sadhna TV and Lotus News channel, Disha, Eshwar.

I will expand and respond on your questions today also so that you can internalize the four tattwas.

Q. Ma Maneesha: The first question today is from a devotee who is asking, ‘Swamiji, can you please explain the significance of going on Kailash Yathra? What is the significance of visiting Kailash with an incarnation like Swamiji?’

Swamiji: Kailaasa! Again and again, I try to explain about Kailash, about the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra, simplifying Kailash-Manasaraovar Yathra and Visa, both Prime ministers have signed. I will take this as an invitation from Kailashanatha. See the coincidence! Just now I am seeing the scroll! Indian Prime Minister and Chinese Premier, both of them have signed an agreements to simplify the Kailash Yathra Visa process. Anyhow, beyond the political boundaries, the Kailash is.

I will just make few statements about Kailash. Understand.

If politically there was no problem and if I am allowed, I will naturally stay only in Kailash and have the Headquarters only in Kailash! Please understand, it is a place where at least one million enlightened beings’ bodies still residing. At least, one million enlightened beings are alive, radiating their energy! At least one million enlightened beings live there!

The place is a statement by Mahadeva about his glory. See, sometimes you need to make a statement in the language people understand. So, Mahadeva makes the statement about his presence by creating a place like Kailash. You cannot call it as natural wonder. It is supernatural wonder! You should experience it with the person who knows the whole Kailash.

See, it is like when you come to the ashram, if you have a friend or relative inside the ashram, as an insider, he will better take you around and show you and make you comfortable and make you experience. That is the reason I called all these twenty-five people from all over the ashram as my guests, just to make you guys comfortable. Rishi Niranthara and Ma Niranthara will make all the devotees came from Malaysia comfortable. They will continuously be in touch and ask what do you want and what to expect next, and what is the next program. Keeping you updated and attending to you. It is like a kind of comfort zone. Same way, all the organizers from U.S., when they are here, you know some known faces are there. Same way. If not you will feel like a cultural shock because you don’t know, first of all, what is this big lamp with 108 wicks and, first of all, why will somebody light these 108 wicks with so much of effort every morning and show it in front of a man with all the ear-blowing music and with the loud chanting! Almost for three minutes everybody goes crazy! And then it is like settling down. You wonder why every day these guys do this! And, suddenly, you see the friend who travelled with you in the flight who was talking to you very nicely, who was very close to you, suddenly he declares, I am completing with you, ‘I am becoming a Swami!’

When you have an insider as a guide, he will take care that you don’t get the cultural shock. If you have an insider, you can avoid lot of cultural shocks and also you can get exactly what you want from this place. Same way if you go to Kailash with an insider, you get the best of Kailash. That isthe reason I ask you to go to Kailash with the incarnation. Incarnation is insider! This year again July 25th to Aug 9th we are going. Earlier I declared that I will not be going to Kailash Yathra this time, but my doctors have said I can go, my body is ready so we are giving the date. I myself will be accompanying between July 25th to Aug 9th for the Kailash Yathra. I will be with you guys. So if you want more details, you can go to http://en-yatras.nithyananda.org

Next Question.

Ma Maneesha: The next Question is from Inner Awakening hall Volunteer Ann Marie who is asking I have been dealing with this question from long time now. I cannot stand people who complain all the time and who always blame others for what happens to them. So I turn my back on them. In other words I let them down which is exactly the contrary for what you teach us. I have been told that I have the shortest fuses around. How to strengthen my nervous system and develop patience. How can I create an inner space of love, compassion and pure listening.

Swamiji: I am surprised Anne Marie also is telling, ‘I cannot stand people who complain all the time and always blame others for what happens to them’! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Just yesterday, one of my sannyasini was telling about her assistant; she is a brahmacharini going to become a sannyasini. The sannyasini is telling about her assistant the brahmacharini, ‘Swamiji, whatever I did to you, she is doing exactly that to me and I can understand now all the torture I gave you!’ Life is like this only! Whatever you give, comes back to you! Comes back to you! Sometimes, it takes a little time. Sometimes, it comes back immediately.

Anne Marie, I will give you only one technique. Don’t bother about developing compassion, love and all. Just develop pure listening. That is all you need. Nothing else. The translation you are doing, do that itself intensely. If you sit intensely, you will know the next statement am going to utter. You will know the way I am leading the conversation. Translators by now should know how I am going to lead the discourses, satsangs and how I am going to end. Only then you are in listening. So, develop that listening. You will experience, you will realize the space of patience. I tell you, having both intense passion and tremendous patience is living enlightenment. Sometime your inauthenticity shows like patience inside you. If you believe that, you are cheated. Over! Sometimes your passion does not have the patience. Again you waste the life. You should avoid both. Intense passion and tremendous patience! Intense passion and tremendous patience!

Anne Marie, I just wanted to tell you one thing. You are not shortest fuse. Don’t worry. There are some more fuses which goes off the moment they see. So you don’t have to develop anything else. You have the right nervous system. You have everything else. Just you need to develop little more listening. That is all!

Next question.

Q. Ma Maneesha: The next question is from Anuradha Chary, Inner Awakening ID No.223 who is asking, ‘How can we measure that we are living Integrity with integrity, Authenticity with authenticity, Responsibility with Responsibility? What are the parameters? How can we improve and strengthen the four tattwas and how can we recognize the peak?

Swamiji: You will feel the completion and the space of Positivity. Means, whatever you utter will become simply reality and you will utter the words only which will become reality. See, you will be in such a space of positivity. First of all, there won’t negativity in you, and you will utter the words only which will become reality. Your words will simply become reality. The space of Positivity! If you are living Authenticity with authenticity, you just know, anything is possible in your life. Whenever a thought comes, you will know it is possible. How many of you feel still, when a thought comes, no, it is not possible for me? Raise your hand. (People raise their hand). Then you are all not living Authenticity with authenticity. When you live Authenticity with authenticity, you simply know, any thought comes to you, any thought you give birth to it, you know it is possible. Whether I want to do it or not I will decide, but it is possible. When you live Responsibility with responsibility, you will feel you are the lord of the universe. Everything is in your disposal. Everything is under your disposal. If you are really enriching, the enriching itself you will live in the space of such a sweet undefinable space, you will know you are in enlightened space, you are in the space of enlightenment.

Yesterday, somebody came and asked me in the energy darshan, if I feel I myself don’t have significant shifts in my inner space, how can I enrich others? That is exactly the reason I want you to enrich. Start enriching. You will see a significant shift in your inner space. You have such a self-doubting, agnostic pattern inside you. Start talking to people. He asked me the question, ‘Now I am asked to convince people to come for Inner Awakening.’ Don’t worry, if you think you are asked to work for my benefit, you don’t need to convince them to come for Inner Awakening. But share the four tattwas with them. Help them to do completion. You are not working for my end. Even if a million people attend Inner Awakening, I am not going to get even one inch anything extra in my life. Whatever I need for my life, I have more than that. I have enough of people who love me, who shower everything on me. First of all, I don’t need anything. Anything I need, I have ten times more people to shower that on me. I have not even told anybody to make these kandi and give. I was glancing a photograph of some mutts and adheenams and and sannidhanam, the old Sannidhanams’ photographs. I was studying their biography. So I just looked at this mala which was there in the photograph. Sannidhanam was wearing exactly this mala. I just looked and said, ‘Wow! It looks very nice!’ That is all! Nothing else! They wanted to give this to me as a surprise. But, of course, I found out what they were doing. That is different! How can they surprise me?

So, all I am trying to tell you is, even if a million people attend Inner Awakening, I am not going to gain anything. So understand that. Through enriching I am not asking you to work for me. I am asking you to work for you. All you need to think is, if somebody attends the Inner Awakening, what is it that fellow will gain? First thing, you will have a friend with whom you can relate for you. For him, he will have a new life. I am not going to have anything extra. Fortunately, please understand, in my ten years of public life, not even once I asked anybody anything. I only gave it to people more than what they gave. I only showered on people more than what they gave. Not an iota of anything will be added to my life even if millions attend the Inner Awakening.

So, understand, you enriching will cause two things. First of all, your constant doubting logic will be broken. You will experience a significant shift. By talking those principles again and again, you will expand, you will be inspired to live, you will raise you. The easiest way to practice Authenticity is to talk about it to others. You will simply become authentic, I tell you. Catch people and start talking about Authenticity and Integrity.

One of my Swamis is there, Bhakthimayananda, Shri Bhaktimayananda, every night before sleeping, whether it is 11 o’clock or 12 o’clock, he will catch hold of somebody and talk about these four tattvas for one hour. If he does not get anybody, he will call his mother who will patiently listen. But I tell you, he will talk to the same person and talk about the four tattvas everyday. And that poor fellow on the other side, whether he woke up or he is still sleeping, he does not care! But, I tell you, it has done so much transformation to him. Go on talking about it. Enrich people about these four tattvas. You will be enriched in different, different ways. You will discover different, different ways to live the Authenticity, imbibe Authenticity. If you think if you send people for Inner Awakening you will be supporting my business, you don’t need to. Then you yourself start taking Inner Awakening. I have no problem. Nothing is copyrighted. I have not copyrighted any teachings. Whoever gave me the letter yesterday, you start taking the Inner Awakening class. I don’t say no. I will give you complete freedom and my blessings and support. If you want I will give you one throne also. You start taking. Only when you start taking you will understand, Oh, what a responsibility it is! What a responsibility it is! I tell you, it is your mind. When you enrich, you will see a powerful shift in your inner space. Enriching is literally empowering the other person. Whenever you empower the other person, you will simply be empowered. You will be empowered.

One guy goes to a Zen Master and says, ‘I am confused. I am in doubt. I have doubt about the whole thing.’

Master says beautifully, ‘Starting giving clarity to others!’

The Master is right! When you start giving clarity to others, you will see you get that clarity! You get that clarity! Not an iota will be added to my life even if millions attend! But even if one person attends, life will be added to his life. Your life has nothing which can add to my life. My life has everything which can add to your life. I am not talking out of arrogance or ego, please understand! I am just straightaway stating the facts.

Next question.

Q. Ma Maneesha: The next question is from Inner Awakening ID No.149, Helen, who is asking, ‘How to complete with someone who thinks it is always the other person’s fault and he is lying all the time?’

Swamiji: Take the responsibility for others’ inauthenticity also. Have patience. Do the completion again and again. When you again and again sit with him and talk to him, one good thing about lying pattern is, you cannot continuously lie, because you cannot remember the same statements again and again! Understand? With the lying, one big problem is, you cannot remember the same thing again and again. Telling the truth, one great benefit is, you don’t need to remember. Because, truth is truth is truth. How many of you try to lie the same thing, but forgot the facts or numbers and got caught? (People raise their hands). True! One good thing about the lying persons is they won’t be able to lie continuously. So, you go and sit with them and complete again and again, you will simply see they themselves will find the loopholes in their lying pattern. You don’t need to poke holes. Their own inner space will poke holes. They will collapse! I know the people who are watching on national channel, they won’t understand what is this! Only my request to the television viewers, listen, listen. So, your own mind, the people with lying pattern, their own mind will make them understand they are lying. They are lying.

Have a little patience and start doing completion again and again. I tell you, there is nobody who cannot be melted by the completion process. Even the stone will melt when you complete with it again and again and again.

Next question.

Q. Ma Maneesha: The next question is from Rohit Mahaveer, Inner Awakening participant, who is asking, ‘I understand how smoking is harmful for the health. However, since tobacco and cannabis also known as marijuana come from the earth, I wanted to know if researches on responsible uses of these plants are worth my time.’

Swamiji: See, there are already methods are there for responsible use of these plants. They are used as medicine in some of the systems. You don’t need to waste your time. There is a medical marijuana used as a medicine. But as a drug it should not be used. There are some medicines which uses marijuana. For medical purposes already they have discovered how to use. I don’t think you need to waste your time or you need to spend your time doing research on it. But I wanted to put it on record that I am completely against any form of using tobacco, marijuana, other than medical purposes.

Q. Ma Maneesha: The next question is from Inner Awakening ID No.160, Ram Prasad, who says, ‘Nithyanandam, Swamiji. We come from the Vaishnava tradition. We kept samaasanam with our acharya and we considered him as guru. If we are taking sannyas from here, does it mean it will be considered as guru droha?’

Swamiji: Please understand, the guru from whom you received the initiation is Kula Guru. Going to Sathguru for enlightenment is not guru droha. It is going to the next level. It is like, ‘O! I studied first standard, second standard in a primary school. If I go to a college, is it not guru droha for the first standard, second standard teacher?’ No! The first standard, primary school teacher should actually send you to next level. If he is not sending only, it is guru droha! If you are not going to the next level only it is guru droha! You had a Shankha Chakra Mudra. It is great! Now come on, become Vishnu! It is time. “Vishnu” means, sarva vyaapi – all pervading.

Kula Guru should send you to Sathguru. Kula Guru is the person who creates the right patterns in the young age. See, Ma Advait is a Kula Guru for Gurukul kids. She creates right patterns. She should be sending them to me. But fortunately, for Gurukul kids I am continuously available. So, immediately the Kula Guru’s guide them to the Sathguru. All your school teachers are Kula Gurus only. All the people who made the right patterns happen in your life in the young age are Kula Gurus. The Kula Gurus should lead you to Sathguru. Going to Sathguru, taking up sannyas, is not guru droha. It is the real guru seva. So, going to the Sathguru and receiving sannyas is actually leading you to the next level.

If you see all great Masters’ life, a scene will be there, from the Kula Guru they will move to Sathguru. And Kula Guru is from your family. Sathguru is your option in Vedic tradition always. All communities use to have Kula Guru. He will initiate you into Shiva Puja, or the Vishnu Puja, or the Devi Puja, whatever is your family deity. In that worship he will lead you. Means, he will create right patterns for you to evolve. Then Kula Guru gives daiva bhakthi, and Sathguru gives daiva bhakthi and he turns the daiva bhakthi into atma bhakthi. Kula Guru gives daiva bhakthi. Sathguru gives atma bhakthi. This is the way the bhakthi evolves. I have given a detailed satsangh on it. First you meditate on many gods, go to many temples, do puja, homa, everything. Then you slowly settled down with one god. You worship only that one god, do prayer, meditate, do japa. Suddenly you see somebody and realize that very god is walking in this body. Something clicks. Then you know he is your Sathguru.

Going to the Sathguru is the real seva you will do to your Kula Guru. It is like right next step. Whenever an incarnation happens, all traditions merges in him. Whether it is Shaiva or Vaishnava, Shaktha or Christian, Islam, Jewish, all traditions merges in him. He gives life to all traditions. I tell you, all Kula Gurus naturally will lead you to Sathguru.

Kula Guru will always usually be married. So he cannot even give Sannyas to you. Only Sathguru can initiate into Sannyas and lead you to enlightenment.

Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share and explode in eternal bliss - Nithyananda!
