“Sit in a very comfortable position because two days you are going to…”

Sit in a very comfortable position because two days you are going to sit. If you want, you can sit in the chair, no problem. And don’t sit behind somebody. Sit so that you can see Me, I will be able to see you. I teach more by body language than by verbal language. It will be easy for you to pick up through My expression than through My words. First thing, because I don’t know much of the language. I know only little bit. Of course, Radha will help Me with words whenever I am in difficulty, supply words. One or two persons who knows Tamil and English will sit here in front. So whenever I ask for words to supply. If you want, you can stretch your leg. Sit comfortably. Don’t bother about formalities and procedures. You can stretch your leg. Only thing, don’t sleep- for My sake, not for your sake. Just for My sake, don’t sleep.

Whenever you attend discourses or lectures related to medicine, medical field, medical discourses...You see, for example you go to a medical discourse. That professor says, ‘If somebody has a small, mild, pain in this chest region, it may be the symptom of heart problem. If somebody gets continuous pain in the knee, it may lead to arthritis. If you listen these type of few words, immediately you verify with yourself. Even though you know that you are healthy, young, perfectly alright, just for a moment, you verify with yourself. You know the new discoveries- the research they say, in the medical schools: whenever a particular disease is dealt, all the students, they feel the symptoms of that disease. Have you heard of it? Have you heard of this phenomenon? Whenever if the headache...the lessons are going on headache, all the students, they get the taste or glimpse of the symptoms because you contemplate on it.

Whenever you attend the medical discourses, you verify, check with yourself, you refer, you just touch and feel, ‘Am I having knee pain?’ No. ‘Am I having chest pain?’ No. At least mentally you feel it. You verify with yourself but when it comes to the spiritual things, when it comes to the spiritual things, when you go to some spiritual discourse, that person says, life means you should be more adjusting. You should have love. You should have the sense of egolessness. You should adjust and live. Immediately what we do? We refer with others. I think my husband needs all this advice. I think my wife should be brought for this discourse. Tomorrow I should surely bring my mother-in-law. Tomorrow I should surely bring my wife.

Whenever something physical is taught, medical is taught, you refer with yourself. Whenever something spiritual or the meditation is given, you refer with others. Whether he is doing properly or she is doing properly, or he is behaving rightly or she is behaving wrongly. It is your mental conditioning. Whenever something medical, you refer with you; whenever something spiritual, you refer with the next person. That’s why I always tell husband-wives, please don’t sit next to each other. The class instructions: don’t sit next to your friend. Don’t sit next to your relatives. What happens you know, when the husbands and wives sit next to each other, whenever I support someway the husbands, immediately they turn, ‘Listen, this is what I am telling you years together.’ Whenever I support the wives, they say, ‘Hmm, have you heard what Swamiji is telling? From the day I married, I am telling you that same only. You are not listening.’ Instead of you listening, you change your life, you pass the buck to the next person. Everybody thinks I am speaking for the neighbour. No, actually everybody thinks, ‘This is not for me. I am not so bad. I am little bad but not so worse as Swamiji says. It is for I think may be for my friend.’

Once Nasirudin’s wife, she was in death bed. She is about to die. Nasirudin was weeping and wailing. She shouted, ‘You fool! Don’t act. I know, as soon as I die, you will marry.’ He said, ‘I agree that I am a fool but nor so fool to marry once more.’ So we always think, ‘I am little fool but not so much as Swamiji says. I think it is for the next person. It is for the third person.’ And I have always seen... Have you got your ribbon, that blindfold? Not yet? Please bring it. You may be asked to tie your eyes before the meditation. When I say, ‘Please close your eyes and tie the ribbons,’ I always have seen people just watching whether everybody else has tied or not. Nobody ties the ribbon. They always see whether everybody else tied or not. And I have seen somebody complaining, ‘Swamiji, he has not tied.’ How do you know he has not closed his eyes? Because you have not closed. We live only watching others. Most of the time, we live only watching others, what others are doing.

Sometimes I have seen strange thing. Of course, here it is a small group. Here thousand people attend. In Salem, once we did the meditation camp-one day camp. 5000-6000 people! Sometimes the mass meditations, 30000 people! How to control? But no other way. We were fortunate we can have... even ASP also in Bharat, the two days camp also, hundreds of people attend. Here it is a small group. The interaction can be more and not only that, you can be straight to the point. It’s nice. I have seen because such big crowd, people just get up and see whether everybody has closed their eyes or not. Once they are convinced that everybody else has closed their eyes only then they go for closing their eyes.

So here, please don’t wait for the others to close their eyes, because they will be waiting for you to close. Then who will close first? So whenever you are asked, just don’t bother about the other. You start doing. For these next two days, try your best to avoid thinking about the time, thinking about your routine, thinking about your day-to-day activity. These two days almost all of you have decided to be here. Am I right? So when you have decided to be here, why not take the maximum, why not have the maximum? And one more thing, many of you must have attended many of these classes, courses, read lot of books, must have been exposed for so many spiritual classes, spiritual courses, spiritual programs. Any of you who attended like this classes, courses, satsangs earlier? Many. My only humble request, if you attended, perfectly alright, nothing wrong but don’t verify what I teach with those earlier knowledge. If you verify, you will be doing only two things. Either you will agree or disagree. By disagreeing, you will not be practising the meditation, you will be losing. By agreeing, you will be telling, ‘O, the same thing what I heard there.’ Even then, then also you will not practice. Because last time you never practiced, that is why you are here again. Last time if you had practised perfectly, there is no need for one more class. You would have reached the totality. Last time what you did? You attended but not put the effort, put the effort totally. That is the same thing you will be doing again. Don’t compare either agree nor disagree. Just feel fresh. See the whole thing totally with a new eyes and put your effort. Nothing else is required. Everything else will happen.

As far as the technique is concerned, just put your effort. You will see the miracles happen in your system, miracles happen in your being. Allow the being to flower because it is continuously flowering. Never think because of you your life is running, in spite of you, it is running. Be always very clear. Have this one saying in your house, in your bedroom-’Never think because of you the world or your life is running: in spite of you it is running.’ That is actually true. In spite of you, God is running the world. In spite of you, he is running your life. So these are the few things. Now we will take up two techniques, small techniques to be practised. The first thing, now we will take the vow-conscious decision, to use these two days maximum, conscious decision to put your total effort, your total being for the meditation. We will close our eyes and collect your whole mind. I will guide you. You can start.

Just sit in a comfortable position. Close your eyes.... Feel your boundary where your body ends and where the earth starts, where the ground starts. Feel your boundary where your body ends and where the space starts. Just bring your mind inside your body instead of moving around. Just bring your mind to your body…

Meditation Music

Consciously decide to tell your mind, ‘I will put all my effort, my total being to understand and experiment and experience the meditation. Tell your mind very clearly, verbally, ‘I will put all my effort to understand, experiment and experience the bliss for meditation. Tell your body, ‘I will put all my effort to do all the meditation techniques and experience the bliss. Consciously, very clearly decide. Let your decision spread throughout your body and mind. Let it be so strong, so alive, so vibrant that your body and mind is ready for meditation. Tell your mind, repeat it mentally these few words. ‘I will put all my effort to understand, experiment and experience the meditation, the bliss.

Thank you
