“There is one great thing about Truth.”
There is one great thing about Truth. There is one great thing. If you become conscious, aware of Truth, it will automatically changes your life. If you just understand that fire burns you, naturally you will not put your hand in the fire. Even the unconscious you will not pure your hand in the fire. If you understand you’re a psychological slave of all these guys, naturally you will see your personality will get, will get integrated because in every day, in every moment, you will remember that these are the guys, I am, slave for them. So you will see, by and by, step by step, just yesterday one devotee was telling me. “Swamiji, suddenly for last three, four months I don’t feel connected to whole my family. It is not that I don’t love them.” These is the very words she told me. “It’s not that I don’t love them. I love them, but somehow I don’t feel attracted. I don’t feel that continuously I’m bothering about them. Previously I used to, everyday, ring up and find out. I don’t feel like ringing up and finding out but I love them. I’m totally very detached. Is it right?” It’s really a good feeling. You’re growing. You are really growing. You see. When the Anahata opens, when you center yourself, you will not continuously bother or worry about others. It is not that you will, you will hate them. You will love them. You will care for them. But you will be totally an individual. You will understand you are a total individual. You will, first time respect, yourself. You will have the dignity, the real self-esteem about yourself.
If you are continuously bothering means: don’t think you are loving them. You are bothering about their attentions towards you. You care just, so that, they will care for you. It is a business contract. It’s just a, bargain. You stand with a big begging ball. Oh please give me your attention, give me your attention. And she is standing there with much bigger begging ball. And both begging balls hit each other everyday. Tac, tac. All the sounds which you hear in your house is nothing but the clash of the begging balls. Clash is the begging balls.
And really when you love, you become totally detached and then also you care. It’s not that you don’t care but you are not slave.
Have a list in your bedroom very clearly. You can even, if you feel that my husband will read, my kids will read, you do want to have a nickname for everybody and write that, that’s all. Have a small cartoon diagram for everybody. If your husband has got two big teeth, write this. If your wife is very short, then have a small cartoon, a broom. Have at least cartoons or nicknames, so that only you understand. Everyday at least, once you remember. These are the people who can depress you. They have the potential power to depress you. You will see your personality gets strengthened. You are weak because you don’t know you are weak.
The freedom has got its own intelligence. The truth has got its own capacity. The very moment you understand you are slave, you work for freedom. As long as you don’t understand you are slave, you never work for freedom. The moment you understand you are slave, you work for - freedom. This will continuously remind you all these people can exploit you. If you are a slave of somebody psychologically, then really they can exploit you. I tell you the fatal diseases come only when you have the low self-esteem and attention for, or begging for others’ attention. If you can’t stand on your own legs, if you can’t stand independently, if you can’t center your energy in your own heart, only then you get all fatal diseases. All fatal diseases are caused if you can’t stand independently on your own feet. Don’t walk with a hundred legs, it means you are not walking, you’re crawling, not even crawling, rolling. If you walk with two legs, you are walking. If you are walking with a hundred legs, you are crawling. Understand whether you are walking or crawling.
Write very clearly I am psychological slave of all these guys. And write very clear the list of names so that again and again your personality will be getting integrated. Understand is one thing. This is a very simple understanding that you are psychological slave of so many persons will integrate you and you will start giving the real love.
When I checked with that person yesterday, the person who spoke to me that Swamiji I am losing the attachment to everybody. I just checked that person’s energy. The heart has started functioning so beautifully. The Anahata has become so integrated. The growth has started happen. I tell you, when you grow, even your detachment is a great XXX to others. If you don’t grow, even your attachment is a big possessiveness for others. You will be eating others head. Most of the time, in the name of love, you only eat others’ head. Don’t think you’re loving. How much you are eating others’ head? Only if you ask others, they will tell you. Just go and talk to your husband. Then you will understand how much you eat his head. Whatever you do in the name of love, if you go and talk to their kids, they will understand how much they’re eating their heads.
If you really nurture, integrate your energy, even your detachment will be such a beautiful help for them, others. You will understand everybody. If you’re just very vitally possessive of others, then you will never bother of others’ good. You will only try to fulfill your desires about them, that’s all. You will only keep them such a way that continuously they give attention, their attention to you. They’re almost like your extensions, that’s all. You will only use them. You will never love them. You will never give something to them.
When you center yourself on your heart, you become a beautiful wife and beautiful mother, and beautiful husband. As long as you have your energy on others, you will never be neither good mother, nor good father, nor or good wife. Only when you can stand up and say no to anybody. Only when you have the freedom to say no, only when you have the courage to say yes when you want to say yes. When you want to say no, say no. When you have the courage for integrity in your heart, then I tell you your health also will be beautiful. Your love towards others also will be really beautiful. Otherwise you will be only disturbing your health, and you will be disturbing others’ health.
Understand very clearly, go and write first this homework. Day after tomorrow itself, do it. First write this and put it in your bedroom so that continuously your personality, it starts growing. You remember all these guys can, depress me. So, you integrate yourself. The solidification of the personality is the first thing for spirituality. The basic condition for spiritual growth is solidifying your personality. That happens only when you center yourself on the heart. That is why I tell you, the technique to work on the Anahata chakra is the basic technique for everybody.
The Maha mantra. Now we will enter into the meditation technique to center our heart, our energy into - being. This technique will totally awaken your real freedom. Only when you bother about your being, only then your health and the others’ health can be maintained. So now, let us work on the Anahata chakra, the heart center to center yourself into the being. It’s a beautiful meditation technique from Tibetan buddhism. Let me explain this technique, then you will start doing. Any of you who have not done this Maha mantra meditation, raise your hand. Oh there are so many.
Four instructions:
Listen properly. People are doing the second time, third time, attend totally so that next time, the teachers’ training time, it will be useful for you. It can be useful. You can use this for teachers’ training time.
Four instructions:
One is sitting straight. Sitting straight means your neck, head and the backbone should be in one line.
Next instruction, let me finish all the instructions, then you do it.
Next instruction, closing your eyes. When I say close your eyes, I don’t mean close your eyes lids. I mean something more. Now as of now, when you open your eyes, you see all these things. When you close your eyes, you all see whole these things inside TV. Inside there is a TV going on. You see everything in inside TV. Don’t do that. When I say close your eyes, I wanted you to shut the visualization ocean. I wanted you to shut the visualization or seeing the things inside. How to do that? - Whenever you close your eyes, you can always see the eyeballs will be slowly moving. The movements of the eyeballs will be there. Don’t do that. Just give pressure from inside, so that the eyeballs movement stops. Feel, visualize as if both eyeballs have become like a stone, just for sixty seconds, not more than that. Just for sixty seconds, feel both eyeballs have become like a stone. Understand all the four instructions. First sitting straight, next, first sitting straight, next closing the eyes, third, humming from deep stomach. You need to humm, just do the humming. Let your lips be closed, just do the humming from the navel center, from the deep stomach. Let me show you how to do. (Swamiji does humming) As deeply as possible, as loudly as possible, as lengthily as possible.
Question: Are we taking the breath from the mouth?
SWAMIJI: No, only from the nose.
Question
SWAMIJI: You see, when you open the mouth, body takes the water is necessary. Actually when you give the gap, breath goes only through the nose inside. But body takes rest, gap, that’s all. Whether you breathe by nose or the mouth, don’t bother. But do it as lengthily as possible, as loudly as possible, and as deeply as possible.
Feel your body is an empty vessel and vibrate it totally. Your hands may tremble and your eyes may pour tears, the cough may come out. Don’t bother about anything. Let your hands tremble. Vibrate so much, so that your whole energy can be centered on your heart. Twenty minutes put your whole efforts and humm. And next ten minutes sit silently, concentrate on the heart center. In this region, concentrate, just feel that music is coming from here. You would be listening to music. That music is happening from this place. Just concentrate in this region. Not very tightly, the relaxed way. Feel that region.
Four instructions: sitting straight, closing the eyes, humming twenty minutes, silence sitting ten minutes. That’s all. Yes.
Question
SWAMIJI: Humming time. Humming time, you concentrate more on humming. Don’t allow the mind to work. Increase the sound of the humming. Your thoughts will disappear to the humming. The thoughts appear, again increase the sound. Increase the sound of the humming. Thoughts will disappear. No other visualization, just feel. You can visualize as if you are an empty vessel and vibrate, that’s more than enough.
Question
SWAMIJI: Yes, deep as deeply as possible. And that is last ten minutes. First, first twenty minutes, no concentration just the humm totally. Become humming, vibration totally.
Swamiji is humming.
SWAMIJI: No, not “Om”. It is much deeper than that. Any doubt in the instructions? Yes.
A lady speaks.
SWAMIJI: It will start from deep, much more deeper than navel Ma. Don’t bother from where it starts. Do it totally. No, dreaming just. - How ? Yes I want you to do it aggressively.
Question
SWAMIJI:.Don't worry about it. First, if you have the potentiality to get the headache, once or twice it will come, it will be left out. You will never get it back. So, start chanting, start humming totally. Let us start the meditation first time the XXX. Any doubt? Doubt?
Feel, that’s all. - Doubt ? Money, Puraga. Money means the diamond. Puraga means kept inside. Actually the diamond is kept inside this lotus. There is a beautiful mantra in Buddhism. “manipal meham ”. It means the jewel in the lotus, diamond in the lotus. That you know this manipura chakra. In this chakra, there is a beautiful wealth. Treasure is inside. When you discovered it, if you work on this chakra, open up this chakra, it will become tremendous energy. And not only it will become energetic. If this chakra opens, you will have the intuition, power of intuition. Deep intuition. - This chakra is related to worry. Worry and depression.
I take all your health to understand what is worry. I think you can give method, XXX, explanation about worry. Usha will tell what is worry. Usha Naran, tell me what is worry, worry?
One lady answers.
18;59
SWAMIJI:OK. Now one person is in real worrying. Let us ask her what is worrying? Laughters
SWAMIJI: Tell me
The lady says: Swamiji is my worry. Laughters
SWAMIJI: Tell me some definition, What do you mean by ? See, there is a person who does not know worry at all. Tell me what is your experience about worry?
The lady talks.
SWAMIJI: OK. Nice, she said, she said the right word. Physiology is disturbed by negative thoughts. Not only psychology. We always think only psychology is disturbed. Don’t think only psychology is disturbed by negative thoughts. Directly your physiology is disturbed. Don’t think, oh today if I think negative thoughts, tomorrow or day after tomorrow, I may get the results. No, - Today if I do all negative things, maybe when the time of leaving death, birth, leaving the body, I make some “XXX”, I may get some - punishment. Don’t think negative thoughts doesn’t wait. Negative thoughts not only affect the psychology. It directly affects the physiology. When you eat, don’t think you digest only your food. You digest your thoughts also. Don’t think only the food which you’re taken in works on your body. The thoughts also are working on your body. Continuously your thoughts are working on your body. Your thoughts create your body. That is why in, the East, there is a beautiful Shastra. Shastra means scripture called “Samutri Garasha”. According to your body structure, they will tell your gut. According to your body structure, they will tell you your gut, because continuously, your mind is creating your body. If your mind changes, your body will be created a new way. That is why the people who do the meditation camp, they get healed. So many of our, of our devotees, they come and tell me. Swamiji I had this problem, it has disappeared. I had that problem, it has disappeared, I have been healed. I’ve become alright. How can it be?
Because when your thoughts’ system is changed, when your thinking system is organised, then naturally, your physiology also becomes alright. Let us go to “Ananvimal”. Where is “Ananvimal”? Tell me what is worry? Repeat the question?
The lady answers: “Worry is a state of concern, ...
SWAMIJI: Let me put the whole thing in - natural form. Worry is nothing but a/your habit. Worry is nothing but continuously repeating particular words, even without your knowledge, words which create shrinking feeling in you. Those words will be continuously repeated in your mind, without your permission, without your control, that’s all. - It is not even under your control.
We have two kinds of talking: one is talking to others and another is talking to yourself. Talking to yourself only is called inner chattering. In the inner chattering, without even your control, some poison thoughts are continuously repeating the same words. It just gets depressed. When the system is corrupted, when a portion of your program is corrupted, you repeat the same words continuously, to yourself without even your knowledge or control. The same thought continues to come up again, and again and again. How much you try to take it out, you will be not able to. The moment you’re playing, enjoying, you will forget. The moment you finish your playing, enjoying, come and sit, immediately it starts. “Something has made it come to”, the same tune. Your mind is back to your tune. That becomes the basic tune in your mind. Again come back to XXX same. When you do some work or some job, you forget for few minutes and you feel you’re away from it. But the moment you rest, again, you fall to the same pitch.
The inner chattering, when it becomes totally corrupted, the inner chattering when it gets totally disturbed, the inner chattering when its - flow is not happening like a river. Your inner chattering is like a river. But whenever it is not flow and when it stops and it becomes a “willl pool”, you’re just pulled inside. If you fall in the river, you can save yourself always. If you’re caught in the “will pool”, never because you will be just suck inside. It’s like a tornado. Tornado is up, XXX pool sucks in. The inner chattering, when it is disturbed, when it is not a flow, when it’s not a river, when it just disturbs you. You have something called inner chattering from your navel, actually inner chattering starts only from the navel. If your navel is disturbed, your inner chattering gets corrupted. If your inner chattering is corrupted, your navel gets disturbed. Both are very closely associated to each other.
If the lake is poison, the water will be, the pipeline will be poison water. If the pipeline is poison, the lake will be poison. You can do in the both either way. First lake and then be poison and then the whole water supply will be poison. Water will be full of poison. If you poison the pipeline, you see, the water supply, maybe the water only goes in this way, but in the thoughts it goes in the two way. If you thoughts are corrupted, corrupted, it corrupts the navel chakra.
How navel chakra gets corrupted? How Manipura gets corrupted? You navel gets corrupted by the suppression and depression. You continuously suppress and depress yourself. In so many times, you ought to suppress your anger. you repress your sex. You repress your violence. You repress your - feelings, suffering, sorrow, so many things, you cannot express always. So many times you want to suppress. By suppressing, suppressing, suppressing, you make your navel totally corrupted.
Your navel becomes just like a wound. Almost every one of us are living with a big wound. The cancer is not a real big deal. The wound can disturb Manipura. It’s the worst thing to live it. if you have cancer, you will have only pain where you have cancer. Suppose if somebody has got cancer in the neck. they will have only pain in the neck. If you have the wounded or disturbed navel center, you will have pain throughout the body. All your pain is rooted only in navel center. All your pain, not only stomach troubles. Even the pain is related to navel center only. If the navel center is disturbed, only then you get the pain.
It is the worry which is the deep root, which is the reason for all pains. The continuous, disturbing inner chattering is what I call worry. Disturbed inner chattering is what is the - worry. If your inner chattering is clean, you will never feel like getting out of the inner chattering. Because your inner chattering is so disturbed, you always want to somehow, silence your mind. We always think, XXX sudenly XXX got out of our mind, that would be the greatest gift that would be the great relaxation. Because this is continuously torturing you, you want somehow to escape. The method or the trials to escape, many, many, many methods, people have tried to escape from their inner chattering. One is continuously drinking, continuously eating. All these things are actually by products or side effects of the - disturbance of navel chakra. People actually when they’re not able to leave it themselves, just to forget them only, they drink. And just to forget them only, they continuously eat.
Obesity is very closely associated to the depression. Obesity and depression is very closely associated. When you feel empty, depressed inside, you continuously tend to eat and fill yourself. You continuously tend to eat and fill yourself. So, obesity and the depression, they are very closely related.
Continuous collected worries, that only disturbs the navel center. That only disturbs your inner chattering.
We cannot express all our anger, all our suppressed violence; and anywhere and everywhere, that is why, it is just, gets suppressed and gets, it goes and disturbs the navel center. That’s a beautiful meditation technique to work on the navel center, to break your inner chattering, to open the Pandora box. You’re all, don’t think you're all sitting on a chair or you’re sitting on a carpet. You’re sitting on a, on a volcano, big volcano is there inside. You suppressed all worry, vengeance, emotions, everything, you’re sitting on that. That is why a small stone, just a small stone is enough, one small incident is enough. You are just waiting a XXX. Just waiting, ready. The moment you get some chance, you jump on him, or her, just waiting for the very minute, fighting for the very moment.
Understand, neither expressing on somebody is going to help, nor suppressing in your system is going to help. If you express to somebody, what will happen ? They will again shout at you. It will create only the Karma chakra, the chain of Karma, link of Karmas. Even if they can’t express on you, they will go and express it on somebody else. Your boss shouts at you. You yell at your wife, your wife XXX kids, kids go and disturb the pets. Pets come and bite you. There is a circle. Pets come and bite you. There is the circle, it’s going on. Everybody is throwing upon others. Throwing on others is not going to help you. Neither throwing on others is going to help you, nor suppressing it with you is going to help you. Then, what is the solution? Let us release it in the air. Release it in the air. This is a technique called Manipuri Shruti Kriya to release your emotions into the air, to release your violence and vengeance into the air. Everyone of us has got violence inside. Don’t think you don’t have. Anybody who says I don’t have, I don’t have any suppression or repression, come and sit here.
33’32
One guy told me Swamiji I don’t, really I don’t have, me and, me and my wife we both never fight with each other. I was very shocked, surprised. I asked him how, how is it possible? How do you manage it? He said, the moment I got married, I stopped speaking. The moment I got married, I stopped speaking. Over. Maybe there’s a chance in that way to keep quiet. One guy came and told me, Swamiji one week I have not spoken with my wife. I asked him. Why, why ? Are you XXX? No, I’m afraid of interrupting her. It may be, it may work that way but never think you don’t have. We have a lot of stuff inside. We have enough of stuff inside.
The moment you close your eyes, you can immediately remember only the people who disturbed you, who cheated you, who exploited you, whom you gave money to and asked it back or who took money from you and not giving back. Only these guys come in the mind. Only these guys appear in your being. So understand, neither expressing it on others is going to help, nor suppressing, suppressing it in your system is going to help. When you suppress, you disturb yourself. When you express, you disturb others. That’s what happens. When you express, you shout at everybody, you yield at everybody. When you suppress on you, you disturb your ManiPura and now they say a special type of acid is released when you get angry. The chemical is released in your system. So if you, if you continuously suppress, your being becomes just like a acid tab. You are continuously taking part in a acid tab.
Someone, a man speaks.
SWAMIJI: That’s. He raised a beautiful thing, subject. Now, there’s one more research. Tigers never attack human beings if they are not afraid. Tigers are actually not against human beings. But when you get afraid, frightened, and you are frightened when you see the tiger, you release a smell. Tigers don’t like the smell actually. They say if you just stay, without getting frightened in front of a tiger, it never gets up. It never gets disturbed or never attacks you. Of course research collect their proofing. That’s why they made, they handle in the zoos. If you don’t get frightened, they never attack you. When you get frightened, you release a chemical, you release a smell. They’re afraid of, they don’t like the smell. That is the reason they attack you. Not only, actually, we XXX the tiger, the tiger is not attacking. It simply went away. Because he never, he was never frightened. He was there as it is. So it is your fear, just like this fear, the worry also, the anger also release a chemical in you. Neither expressing on somebody is going to help, nor expressing or suppressing in your system is going to help. Then what is the way ? Release it in the air.
There is some meditation technique to release your anger, violence, vengeance in the air, to cleanse the Manipura. It’s like vomiting out.
In the Yoga system, two kinds of vomiting. One is, one is literally vomiting, really vomiting the food. After eating, we will make a special kind of water with a salt. It’s a Kriya. It’s a Kriya to cleanse your navel. Physiology, they will cleanse. They will make you drink that water and then you vomit. Your body will become so clean and so fresh. You would be surprised. You will never feel so fresh. So it would be cleanse Karoli. That is actually only physiological level. Now, we’re going to do the psychological level. Cleaning your navel and cleaning the Manipura chakra. Cleaning the navel is different. Cleaning the navel center is different. Cleaning the navel is like vomiting, the simple vomiting. Cleaning the navel center is emotional vomiting. Now we are going to do the emotional vomiting. How to do?
The meditation technique says. Talk in the language which you don’t know. That’s all. That is what Meditation technique says. When you have to speak except the language which you know, your mind stops and emotions start working. It’s like, you see, big volcano is there, inside. You put a cover and there you’re sitting. The cover is inner chattering. The verbalization in the language that you know, is the cover. When you remove the verbalization, the language that you know, simply the emotions start coming out. The volcano gets out. We can throw all the emotions out. When you throw your emotions out, the navel center is totally cleant. Psychological vomiting happens.
A woman is speaking about babies.
SWAMIJI: Yes, babies do this meditation, that is why they are so graceful. I always, every XXX, nobody answers. I always ask: Have you seen a ugly baby? Have you seen all over the world, you see, in all countries, have you seen a single kid who is ugly? Have you seen a single grown up man who is beautiful?
When, when you are kid, you maintain your navel center. Navel center is in charge of your aura body. If your navel is empty, pure, beautiful, you have a special grace around you. Kids will practice two techniques. One is the blaburring. Once you feed them and put them in the cradle. Immediately they will start shouting and kicking the legs, something they will be shouting. That actually it cleanses their Manipura. It helps them to digest the food. It activates the navel center. That’s something. And second thing, the spinning, whirling. Only if your navel is pure, you can whirl. If your navel is not pure, if you whirl, you will get dizziness. The pita will increase. You will fall. Many people try to imitate metans. After three whirling, after three spinning, new, new people could not understand what I speak. Many, I’ve seen, they try to, they try to spinn. There’s a trial, and fall.
When your navel center is pure, only then you can spin or whirl. Kids, you can see, they will whirl like anything and they will never feel giddy. Of course, we’re not, we are not going to practise the second technique. We will practise the first. First, let us do the psychological vomiting. Let us cleanse the navel center. Let me give the instructions for the meditation. First one minute, you will concentrate on the navel center. Then, just start creating some sounds. I see if you're fighting, and throwing away your anger. Bring all your intimate enemies and kill them and start fighting with them. Just create as much sounds as possible, as deeply as possible, as loud as possible. Creating sounds open the navel chakra. Creating sound shakes the inner chattering. Creating sounds shakes the inner chattering. Only one condition, you cannot stop for any reason. You cannot stop XXX till the meditation is over. Till the meditation is over, you cannot stop. Continue and in the starting, you need to act as if you’re acting, as if you’re acting. After few minutes you will see really your emotions are getting frayed out. Your emotions are getting released. -
A woman is speaking about her anger.
SWAMIJI: Anger, guilt, everything, mood disturbs the Manipura, navel. You see inverted anger is guilt. Anger standing in sasana is guilt.
She’s talking again.
SWAMIJI: Guilt, just guilt, you will start weeping. Guilt will come out as a tear. Tears.
She’s talking again.
SWAMIJI: Ah yes. - You see, one thing. When the guilt comes up, you will see, that automatically the self-pity, the anger on yourself comes. And that will, that will lose out as a tear. That will come out as tears.
A woman talks again.
No, no language. Just shout, shout the names, shout the sounds, that’s all. Don’t, say, don’t say the names, don’t say the things which you understand. The inner chattering will start working. Don’t allow the inner chattering to work. Continuously create sounds so that just emotions are releasing in the air. Understand the technique. You can fight, jump, scream, yell, howl, dance, just anything except beating the next person. Only you can hummm the next person. Except that, you can do anything, yes.
A lady speaks.
SWAMIJI: Just create sounds, then you will see, just shout as much as possible. Create, different, different kinds of sounds, then you will see, automatically, emotion opens up. See you will be man only as long as you have the inner chattering. You have mind that is why manishia is called in Sanskrit. They call man who has got mind is manushia. When you throw away your mind, the animal portion will come up and you become totally violent. I tell you, to be utterly violent for few minutes so that you, you psychologically vomit it out. Otherwise you will be vomiting on everybody. - Man vomits on you. You vomit on your wife, your wife on the kids, kids on the pets, pets on you. Circle. Same circle happens, is happening. Each one is only vomiting on others. You always feel you are hurt because your navel is hurt.
I have seen many people, for no reason, they will feel he has hurt me, he has hurt me, he has hurt me. He wants to take me over. He wants to rule me. He wants to do this. He wants to do that. No.- Nobody wants to hurt you. Nobody wants to rule you. It is our feeling. We always say that he is like this, he is like this, he is like this. So, because your navel is hurt, you feel continuously hurt. Empty your navel, vomit out, then you will see your whole being under XXX, new transformation. Then after the meditation, last ten minutes, just sit silently concentrating on the navel. relaxing the navel. First one minute you will concentrate on the navel. When I say Start, start creating sounds. You can see very clearly from navel the sounds are coming. After the meditation, when I say sit, sit silently and concentrate on the navel. Ready? 47:13
