“We are not at ease with our self, we want to throw our self to…”

We are not at ease with our self, we want to throw our self to something else. We are not ready to sit with our self, we are so much disturbed with our being, with our self; we always want to divert our attention to something else; we are not ready to be true to our self because so much of wounds, so much is oozing out, so much of smell which you cannot bear so you never look into yourself, we always look outside. When you are not ease with yourself, when you are dis-ease with yourself disease starts. The root cause of diseases, dis-ease with yourself. When you are (amongst 1.11) dis-eased disease starts. So I am going to go to the root cause of disease and then we go to the root cause we don’t have to cut the root, just go to the root of some tree and open it let the sun rays enter into the root and naturally the tree will die, root of the tree, simply go the root, root will disappear. In the same way, go to the root of disease, when you go to the root of disease naturally not only the disease the root of disease also disappears. So this seven days we are going to go to the root of disease and when we attend this class there are few things how to use this class in a best possible way. For that I’ll give you few tips for you all.

2.27

One thing first instruction, be completely relaxed, don’t be tensed, don’t try to concentrate on anything. Never bother about anything, never worry that eh how will I practice what I listen. You will be listening so many things, don’t make your plan that after going to house I will practice this I will practice that, don’t create any plan, don’t create any method structure, just sit in a complete relaxed mood and relaxed mind, don’t have any expectation (??? 3.13) or any concentrating efforts or which is which makes you tense, don’t have any of that type of efforts; and be with an open mind, be with an open mind. When I say the word be with an open mind, don’t bring any ideas which you have already listened, read, or many of you would have attended many yoga classes, many of other meditation courses so when you come inside, don’t bring all those ideas with you, just leave all those ideas where you leave your shoes, when you leave your shoes just leave your mind also there, come inside with a open mind. I’m not telling you have faith on me, I’m telling you have openness on me. You have all the right to doubt, you have all the right to question but come with an openness. (Although 4.23) what is happening here and get involved completely, don’t be a spectator, don’t be a witness, completely get involved and experiment with my experiences.

4.42

What I am going to give you this few days is not at all some (??? 4.47). What I am going to teach you on this six or seven days is not any theory or philosophy or (Ramayan Mahabharata or Bhagvadgita 4.57) I’m not going to tell you any story, that Rama went to forest or Ravana took away Sita and then Ravana Rama went to Sri Lanka, all these things I am not going to tell you. What I am going to tell is, something day to day practical affairs. What I am going to (teach 5.17) is complete science and which you can practice in day to day life, so try to experiment with my experience.

5.33

There are two kinds of people, when you listen to my words one thing you will there are few people who will not accept anything, just continuously negativity there will be, opposing the all the words, all my words, opposing all my ideas, they are not going to benefit it in any way, they are just wasting their time here and (will come with some ????? 6.00) that I am not going to accept him, accept his ideas. Then if somebody is there that way he is not going to benefit it and another type of person is there who accepts whatever I say, he is also not going to benefit it in this class please be aware, he is also equally not going to benefit by my class. A man who is ready to experiment what I say is the only man who is going to get benefit benefitted by my class. There are few people who listen to whatever I say finally they say yes yes Swamiji Swamiji oh so beautifully and we are so happy everything they will tell but you just ask them one word what he spoke, what he spoke, just ask only one word oh no that you don’t ask he spoke very nicely, what he spoke ahhh he spoke (??????? 7.05-7.12) so he has spoken nicely but what he has spoken you don’t know. There are those type of people what they will do maximum, they will put my big photograph do artie and the people who are doubting and people who are believing both are not going to be having any benefit both are not going to be benefitted by this class, only people who are trusting me.

7.40

Trust is something more than belief, trust is something more that faith. Faith plus the energy the capacity to work out these ideas is what I call trust. When you trust me when you are ready to experience, when you are ready to experiment with my experiences, with my ideas only then you are going to be benefitted. So when you attend the class attend with a open mind and accept all these ideas just like the hypothesis of science, when I say Sun rises in the morning do you think any belief? there is no need for belief and there is no need for doubt also you don’t have to doubt doubt me or you don’t have to believe me, just look, if you just look you will understand yes sun is really rising in the morning, the same way whatever I am saying, just look. Look into that idea deeply and experiment with those ideas, experiment with my experience, that is the only thing I need from you, only then you are going to be benefitted.

9.11

Next keep your mind and shoes outside, here you all gather for this six day, for this seven days to experiment with some of the inner world truth, some of the inner world ideas. What is meant by inner world I will explain to you. Almost all of us know about (dukkha, sorrow 9.44) is there anybody who says I have no (sorrow 9.50)? If anybody says, for them there is no need for this class, anybody? nobody! And if some, if I ask each and every person, I can ask some one reason you can all give, some one reason if I ask to list out the reason I won’t be having time even for a single person. So I will tell, you can all decide about one reason you can give a, the main reason for your (sorrow 10.27) some one reason (someone10.29) you can give one reason.

10.33

Audience member says (“The desire” 10.33)

Swamiji says (“umh” 10.34 )

Audience member says (the desire 10.34)

Swamiji says: (No what you were ????? exact reason I want, desire is a common reason. You give me the exact reason. Audience member ???????? 10.36-10.44)

10.44

Yes, ok, somebody will tell, my wife is not listening to me, you see, what it means she will not listen to you, it’s a basic structure, (????? 10.55- 10.56) she will not listen to you, it’s a basic structure. If she listens be careful she is not wife, there is something else. (???? 11.07- 11.09) and there are so many things, so many reasons so many people will give, and somebody will tell, each one of you give this one reason that I have (no child 11.16- 11.22). If you say because of this reason you are full of dukkha, (your life in dukkha 11.30- 11.32), you are living in depression. If you say (?????? 11.34) because of money, because I don’t have money I’m depressed, I am in dukkha. Then a person who has (???? 11.42) money also is in dukkha, is in depression, am I right? Somebody says that I have no children that’s why, I have no child that’s why I am in depression. (??? 11.56- 12.03) the people who have child (?? 12.06) thousands of problem. So a man who says that because I have no child I’m in depressed, a man who have got children also in depression.

12.19

There are thousand (???? 12.20) reasons you can give, because of my ill health I’m disturbed, I’m depressed, I’m in dukkha. But a man who is healthy you can ask him “are you happy?” again (????? 12.31- 12.12.33) he says “no I am in dukkha. So if dukkha depends on the outer world life, how can it be a common thing for all of you? All of you are coming from a various way of life, you have a some is rich, some is poor, some is different language, some is some belongs to (??????12.56-13.00) you are coming from cross-section of society, you are coming from so many backgrounds.

13.10

If the outer life’s reason can be the reason for the dukkha, then how all of you can have. When something (???? 13.22) outer world, the external world’s life must be the reason for dukkha, is it not? All of you agree with the conclusion, if anybody is not agreeing they can raise their hands.

13.40

Audience member says (“it is a mental status” 13.40-13.42)

13.42

Swamiji says “That is what I am saying, that is what I am telling you. Dukkha I not dependent on external world’s affairs. It is nothing to do with outer world affairs. It is nothing to do with external world affairs at all, it is something to do with internal world affair, it is something to do with your attitude not what you have, not the quantity of things which you have but the quality of mind which you have. It is not the quantity of life, it is the quality of life, so now we are going to work out some (??????14.30) some, you can say we are going to acquire some treasures of inner world which is missing in our life, which is not enough in our life. So when we are going to work out something of the inner world, we don’t need any thought or idea of the outer world affairs unless you are completely free from the outer world you cannot enter into the inner world; that is why meditation is always done in a cave, you are completely away from the society. You come out of the society, you want to enter into the inner cave, you enter this cave. So when you enter into the cave, where you leave (your 15.31) shoes, just leave your mind.

15.34

One thing, leave all your worries, and sorrows and what to do, what not to do about the house, business problems. Just for this two hour, I think here there is nobody, just if you give this two hours to your inner world (or15.54) none of your external outer world things are going to get collapsed, no, just for this two hour, dedicate all your energy all your mind to the inner world. Let us not bother about the outer world this two hours and don’t bring any of your power, post, prestige inside with your head. The cave is very less high, if you come with all power prestige and your head you will get hit, so please be very careful, when you come inside, only come with your head not the weight on your head. Almost all our power, position, prestige are nothing but head weights. So where you leave the (chappar 16.51) just leave all your head weights also there and come inside, you will not get hit with hit with the cave.

16.58

So I want, I would like a give a small anecdote from a (Zain 17.02) Buddhism, it’s a great religion ever born in the humanity in the world. ( Kcrechu 17.09) the great (Zain 17.11) teacher (Damaji 17.12) was the head of the (Oku 17.15), one day the governor of Kyoto called upon for the first time his attended presented the card of the governor which read (Kitayaki 17.27) governor of Kyoto, when the card was presented to the Master, to the (Zain 17.33) Buddhist Monk, the enlightened person; one great enlightened person was there, his name is (Kcrechu 17.42), the state’s governor, Kyoto states governor came to meet the Master and the attendant of the Master stopped the Governor at the gate itself then the governor gave his card, “please give this card to your Swamiji, your Guruji, I want to meet him. The card read (“Kitayaki 18.08) Governor of Kyoto” when the card was brought to the Guruji, he says “I have no business with such a fellow” says the Swami to the attendant, tell him to get out of here. Attendant was not able to understand, he took the card, he carried the card back with apologies to the Governor. When Governor saw that card and Governor was very intelligent man, not like ordinary today’s politician. He is a very intelligent man, the Governor took the card back and just with a pencil he scratched out the words Governor of Kyoto and send the card again to the Master and said ask your teacher again, when the card was brought to the teacher, to the Master, Master says “oh is it the (Kitayaki 19.23), exclaimed him, I want to see him, bring him.

19.30

Avery beautiful anecdote, how to go and meet a Master, did all of you understood that anecdote. When the word Governor of Kyoto is there, it is nothing but head weight, dead weight which is sitting on our head. So naturally when the weight, some weight is in your head, whatever Master says cannot go into your head. When the weight was removed everything can go inside, so he made it to come that Governor without any head weight. What is after all, all this power, position, prestige everything, just a labels given by society to us. From here, from Bengaluru I want to send some parcel to you, so I am putting it (???? 20.32- 20.37) that man in parcel service, he puts a big label writing (???? 20.42-20.43) on that parcel; just the same way society has labelled you. You are good, you are bad, you are educated, you are uneducated, you are having money, you are having (done adharama qualities 21.01-21.02) all this ideas, you are a great person, you are a (influence 21.07) all these things suddenly (??? 21.08-21.10) labels upon you but what we do we are so much done with the labels, prestige and power, all these things are psychological drugs. You are so filled with a what to say, you are so stupid, that ecstasy you are completely addicted with those things you consider yourself just as the labels, you think I am nothing but this label. You forget that you are a parcel and you associate yourself with the label. All our life we associate our self with ordinary labels, is it not? That is why we are so much concerned with our labels we won’t be able to live without that labels even few hours. The label is so much needed to project our self what we are. Continuously carrying that label, a big weight on your head. So with that weight don’t enter into the cave, you will get hit in your head.

22.37

So third thing, listen to this discourse like a medicinal discourse, medical discourse, what is meant by it? When you, when some medical students (????? 23.01- 23.19)

23.19

But you just go listen some spiritual discourse or moral discourse that a Master, moral teacher, he says “you should do dharma, you should not tell lie, you should be always truthful, you should be very calm and quiet. We never (???? 23.37) our self, we always check with others, weather he does dharma, immediately we think this teaching is not for me, I am already doing dharma, this maybe for the next man, this maybe for the next person who is sitting behind me, this is for my neighbour, not for me, when he says don’t (quarrel 23.57) with others, love your neighbour as you are, we think “no, no, it is for neighbour not for me I am already (??? 24.04)”

24.05

So this seven days don’t listen like a spiritual discourse, listen like a medical discourse. I am talking to you, please be very clear, I am talking to you, I am not talking collectively, I am talking to individuals. Forget these six days that group is existing only I and you are existing. Whatever I say just try to fit with your mind, never do, or never deliver the letter to other, it is addressed to you, I am addressing you. Don’t divert the letter to the neighbour. So if we get money or not, we receive, some letter with some problems (???? 25.06-25.08). It has become attitude in our life so be very clear this seven days I am not speaking to your neighbour, I am speaking to you. Remember mentally, very clearly, that nobody else is existing except you and me. Don’t bother about what others (will 25.30) understand, what they will think, what, how my wife will be understanding this ideas, (don’t go in ???? 25.35-25.38) it is not yours. There are (??? 25.40) many people like if some friends who don’t come, then when I say something they will start thinking in their mind “this idea is necessary for my wife” she should understand this (wright this swamiji has told 25.53- 25.55) but when I say something for you, you never listen that, she listens that, “yes this is necessary for him (swamiji has ???? 26.03- 26.05) So whatever you are supposed to hear, she is listening and whatever she is supposed to hear, you are listening; then after going to house, she tries, tries to teach you and you try to teach her. Don’t allow this to happen listen directly, breathe this very air, hear this very words. Don’t think of somebody else what he will be understanding, what she will be understanding and don’t prepare yourself to go deliver this lecture to somebody else. There are many people who listen to my lec, listen my lecture, especially the (smaralingas 26.49) they will listen and continuously taking notes just to go and deliver this lecture to (?????? 26.55) when you go to house (catch her 26.57) if she says no, no, no, I don’t want to listen also I will not allow, (fire him 27.02-27.03) so don’t try or don’t prepare yourself to deliver this lecture on somebody else.

27.10

So when you listen, try to digest, your duty is just to digest not to vomit on anybody else, so when you vomit it will be always giving bad smell. So never plan for going and vomiting on someone else head, try to digest what you listen. These are the few basic instructions which I want to give.

27.38

And there will be many questions which will be arising in the class, don’t think I will be answering all your questions, I will be questioning many of your answers. Most of you are filled with big big answers in your life, many of you are living with so many answers, so not that I will be answering all your questions here, I will be questioning all your answers, so whatever questions arise in your heart, arise in your mind, never try to discuss those questions with your friends or this never try to refer some spiritual books, just keep those questions into your heart and try to make it into your (first 28.31) Understand me if you raise, if you have some questions just contemplate, meditate over it; keep that question in your heart, don’t allow that question to die or don’t discuss that question with your friends or relatives or with books. Just keep that question with you and meditate or come here with that question and here it would be answered, here you will be getting, I don’t, I can’t even say that here it would be answered, here your thirst will be quenched. It will not be solved, it will be dissolved, all your questions. So just keep those questions inside you, don’t try to get some answers from somebody, from some relatives.

29.30

And don’t compare, don’t compare this class, this system with any other system. Most of you have attended all the, many of the yoga, meditation classes, when you come here don’t compare those ideas with our ideas because when I say, when I use the word (atman 29.50) I am revealing totally different idea, totally different explanation. When you herd this same very word from somebody else you will be having, they would have given some other different explanation, so all Masters are true, all the Masters, through all the Masters same Parashakti is working but paths are totally different. All may end up in a same goal, same idea but path is totally different. So don’t compare and get confused yourself.

30.30

Next instruction beautiful, learn to laugh. All this six to seven days, you will be told many (??? 30.38) jokes, never think how many centimetres I should open my mouth. The idiotic culture has thought you how to be (???? 30.51) serious, sick, it has not thought you how to be happy, ecstasy, expressive. So this seven days listen not only listen, learn how to be expressive, how to be happy, how to be flowing, how to be streaming. Almost all our life has become the what to say, dead, dull. The streamingness, the flowingness has stopped, almost a corpse, dead body, (getting 31.35) much worse than death is live death. At least dead people don’t disturb others (they are serious 31.41) that’s all, they don’t disturb others. But this so called live dead people, not only they are (???? 31.47) they make the whole atmosphere also (???? 31.50) and sick. All seriousness is nothing but sickness, all seriousness, capital letter, red letter ALL, all seriousness is sickness. So this few hours for few days just drop all seriousness and try to open and relaxed just like a child. Try to laugh, whenever you listen, whenever you heard something, if the need, there is a need just laugh, laugh with full heart, not with simple mouth or don’t think or don’t measure how many centimetres you can open the mouth, here nobody is there to measure your mouth and everybody is going to laugh. So just completely be open.

32.42

And there is a small anecdote: in one tea shop there are a few friends who are sitting, one person was telling a joke and such a way it is told, nobody felt like laughing, the sense of humour was not there, it was not expressed exactly, the joke was, the joke is right but the way in which it was told was not proper manner, he missed the essence, but some one person (?????? 33.17) (?????? 33.18) was there, he, started laughing like anything, he started laughing hearty, he laughed so much the (?????? 33.27-33.29) asked “why did you laugh?” we all did not feel like laughing, he told something but we did not feel like laughing. Then (????? 33.38) explained, no, no, you should laugh otherwise he will tell again the same thing. So I want you, if you don’t laugh, again you have to tell the same thing, so learn to laugh for this six days. When you laugh your sickness will disappear, if you don’t laugh your health will disappear. So when you learn to laugh even your sickness will disappear.

34.14

Another one, next instruction, be punctual. It’s not told in a moralistic way, when I say the word be punctual it is respect to each other. It’s a great respect you are paying to each other. We Bharatns, such an idiotic training is given to us, always if it is told six, seven, Bharatn time seven. I think all of us are busy with some other activities, anybody who has no business? All of us are busy even without business, busy without business. That might be true, but we are all busy, all of us are busy, nobody is free. We are all here to learn something, so if you come late, you are disrespecting somebody else and wasting others time. If you all doesn’t assemble in (???? 35.19) one time, then I’m going to delay my lecture. So (??? 35.23) each one of us wasting others time so when you come late you are wasting others time in one way.

35.30

Another thing when I start my lecture, when I start my discourse after I started this discourse, if someone comes and moves here and there, some movement is there and what will be happening? My flow current will be disturbed, then one minute I have to spend for him, he will come and sit, till that time I will have to wait. Then when as soon as he comes only he will search for his place, then somebody who is his neighbour, he will wish him “yes you are keeping well” I will practice something (???? 36.08-36.10) or “your wife is keeping well?” or something will be inquired, then he will get settled. This few moments of disturbance maybe it is looking one minute but it is just like a speed breaker, you are going in a ( ???36.28- 36.29) going a hundred kilometre speed, beautiful road, a good (?? 36.35) car, you are (??? 36.38). Just a small speed breaker comes, it is nothing but, nothing more than three feet, only a speed breaker is going to be three feet, but before nearing the speed breaker, you have to reduce your speed and cross the speed breaker, again pick up the speed. So the time which is spent, in that time you could have drive one kilometre, three feet takes the time on one kilometre. So in the same way if you come late when you come and sit, this is nothing but, it is not going to take more than a minute, but the speed getting down, slowing down, crossing and picking up, will take at least ten minutes. So don’t come late, be punctual it’s a deep respect to each other. So we all, we have all gathered here to learn something so be exactly sharply on time.

37.43

So these are the few things I want to explain, so anybody if you wants to ask some one or two questions, you can ask.

Swamiji asks: “anything else?”

Tomorrow please bring a small mattress with you and bring paper and pen but the instruction is you should not take notes, please don’t take notes in the class because you are, you are never going to look at the notes afterwards, I know, it is very clear, even if you take notes, you are not going to even look at that notes afterwards, after a few days if you ask, if you ask somebody that where is your notes, ah it is there, it will be there, it will be there where it should be. So don’t take notes, just record everything in your heart and there is no need even to record. The way in which I express the things will directly enter in your heart, because what I am expressing is not from head, it is something from my heart. So nat naturally directly it would enter your heart, it will not only affect your head, it will directly enter your heart. So there is no need for taking any notes, so just listen, that’s enough, be attentive when you listen, be present that’s enough.

39.06

So any questions? when I ask you some question say either yes or no, if you just keep mum how can I interact because I am not telling the story of Ramayana. Even if you say yes or no (39.26- 39.31) Nobody else can change it, so in between also you can sleep, take rest no problem (39.36-39.40) you can just sleep and after one hour when you get up you can pick up the story, because you know the story but here it’s not going to be like that. So be attentive and be present just interact, either yes or no. You are full freedom to question at me at any moment, any moment you can just raise your hands and class will be stopped, your questions will be answered, any moment.

40.14

You can all, all enrol the class.

40.22

Any other (40.22- 40.27) they can (bring 40.27), you can (bring 40.28), but just give this few introductions which I give today, those, the essence you can give (40.35- 40.38) Of course tomorrow also I will be expressing these few ideas to them no problem, (40.43- 40.45)

40.45

Audience member asks “Swamiji do you have any cassettes or a literature?”

40.50

Of my (40.50- 40.52) I have VCD cassettes, VCD cassettes are available now. (??? 40.55- 41.04) but still no I have not yet made any books, only VCD’s are produced and audio cassettes are available. (41.13-41.15)

41.20

Any other question? Anything else you want to give instruction? (41.30- 41.33) anything else? (41.36- 41.38)

41.39

And clothing will be, another one thing clothing, easy clothing for the gents this type of dhoti and pyjama will be comfortable, because every day you are going to made to medi, do some meditations here. Here itself (?? 41.54) will give instruction, and you will be made to do that. For that this clothes will be very easy and comfortable. The energy flow of the body will be very beautiful with this clothes. For women the (chinita 42.07) that will be the best clothing. This type of clothing, what she’s wearing.

42.21

So thank you, enough for today.
