“Participant: “Swamiji, couple of days back, I in fact felt that I was…”
Participant: “Swamiji, couple of days back, I in fact felt that I was at a very low TPS (Thoughts Per Second), I did not know the definition until you told me today and I felt a lot of your presence.”
SPH: That's true. The moment you come down to the low TPS, you will see that I will be there.
Participant: “And it was very buzzing. It was very, I felt like a high.
SPH: That's right. High.
Participant: And then I took a major decision in life.
SPH: Hmm. High. No, you see. Whenever in the high moments you take any decision, it always helps you. In the low moments never take any decision. In too much of TPS, never take any decision. Don't take any decision when the TPS is high. Take, just… If you are in any tension, any problem - relax. Bring down the TPS level - then decide, then take any decision. Never do any decision making, regarding any subject in your life, when the TPS is high.
SPH: Intelligence will be low. Intellect will be there, but Intelligence will be low.
Participant: [Inaudible conversation]
SPH: Oh you are afraid? Somebody else told me. Come on you. Don't bother, unless you are worthy, it will not come to you. Somewhere or other, you must be worthy of that. I may not aim properly, but the stone touched by my hand knows where to travel. You see, Rama actually doesn't know how to aim, but Rama Baana has got intelligence, because of his hand the Rama Baana gets the intelligence. So that directly travels and does the job and comes back. So it's a Rama Baana. I may not know how to aim, but I know how to give intelligence to the stone. All these are stories, but only we have to have. Don't bother.
Participant: “So Swami, when you said that we hear what we want to hear. Is it based on what we expect? What is the differentiate …?
SPH: You can't understand. Relax. Understand this much, that’s enough. Now just give a gist of what I spoke last ten minutes. Can you? No no, give a gist.
Participant: Swami you spoke about Rama.
SPH: This is a gist from your set up and If I ask somebody else, they will give a different gist. Means what? You have recorded only what you want to record, what you want to listen. So you have not heard, what I spoke. You heard only what you want.
SPH: Actually when the TPS comes down, twenty four hours you will have the same flirty mood - that ecstatic mood. If the TPS is up, even when you are near, you will be only tensed. You’ll be only attention. Actually one more thing, even the flirting can bring down the TPS. That's one more technique. Of course, I won't speak about that technique much - it’s enough. Utterly relaxed, just by the deep, Divine Presence of the Master, asking nothing more, ‘Just You are enough, Your Presence is enough’. You being around Me or Me being around You is enough. It's such a deep, relaxed - utter relaxation, without any possessiveness. You should never have that feeling, ‘Oh, that person should not come, this person shouldn’t come’. With a deep mode of sharing, when you are around him, simply the TPS falls down.
Participant: We would like to give our all the problems to You, Swamiji.
SPH: No those fools used weapons only to kill. I am here to use everything to heal. Why do you think I kept all the weapons in my throne? All those weapons cried, ‘That time - we have been corrupted totally, just used killing, killing, killing, drinking those bloods and we have being corrupted. Then I said, ‘All right, next time I'll use you all for healing and let you guys be liberated from the sin of hatyas. That's all. Now they are liberated from the Brahma hatya and all hatya - all Ati-doshas, by being used for healing. Yes. That's why I put all the weapons in my throne. Let them all be blessed. Otherwise these guys are sick of continuously killing others. Actually if you continuously kill others, naturally you feel sick. How long you can do that?
SPH: That's all. So now we will enter into the next - Prana - next level TPS. You see, this is a nice technique. Again… Okay. Now this is a wonderful technique and for this technique a small rule - no question of opening the eyes and moving from the place, till I say move. Now I'm going to attend one function in Bangalore.
Participant: A very grand, new technique.
SPH: A small function, in Bangalore. So soon I will come back and… Soon I will come back and move you from your places. It's a very simple technique, very simple technique. I'll guide you first, step by step. I'll guide you first step by step - four steps. You have four prana movements in your system. The prana going in, prana taking turn, prana going out and again prana taking turn. You understand what I said? You have four movements. Prana going in, taking turn, going out, again taking turn. You are supposed to witness all these four movements.
SPH: First, I will guide you. You will witness only Prana going in. Next you will start witnessing only the prana taking turn. Next you will witness only prana coming out. Next you will witness only prana taking turn. Step by step we will, first five minutes we witness only this point. Let everything… All the four will continuously be happening. But you don't have to witness, you don’t have to be aware of other three things. You can relax in other three points. But this one point you have to be aware. Next five minutes - the second - only the turning, you have to be aware. Third, only this going out - the exhaling you have to be aware. Fourth, only the taking turn, you have to be aware.
SPH: Understand, very clearly - five minutes, five minutes, five minutes - after 20 minutes you have to be aware of all the four movements. You should not miss even single movement. Same awareness I’m drilling with the Prana techniques. First the Annamaya techniques - the gross level. Now the same awareness, same technique. I am...same old wine in the new bottle. I'm working with the Prana level, working with the Prana level. Then we’ll work next next with the different, different levels. Now we are working on the prana level.
SPH: Understand. When I put that… When I gave this technique to few of our devotees, some six months ago, I put them in this technique and went away. More than eleven hours, they were just sitting. You do not know. You yourself will forget everything. You will forget the eleven hours passed and I give you the freedom - the moment you feel like coming out, you can open your eyes and go out. Understand. The moment you feel totally bored or you are not able to sit any more, you can go out. But still, you will not even feel that. You will not even feel that. Don't even bother to give importance to the thought; even when the thought comes witness it. Sit, don't let any thought raise in your being. Just relax, just sit. Any doubt in the technique? Any doubt? If you want to go and sit in the chair, sit now itself, because I don't know how long you are going to sit.
Participant: In between we can’t change the position?
SPH: No one, two, three. No one, no two, no three. All here itself.
Participant: Here also we can’t change the position?
SPH: Haan, you can change the...I think better not to.
Participant: Swamiji, if we get some hard struggle, just...
SPH: Witness.
Participant: “Swamiji, will you be here to guide us?”
SPH: Haan, that's what I'm telling, that these five, five minutes of, what to say, that guiding you, will give you that awareness in the turning point. Hmm.
Participant: ”Swamiji, is it deep breathing or normal ordinary breathing?”
SPH: Ordinary breathing. It’ll become automatically deep. No, no, no, no - don't have to bother. It’ll happen automatically. You will see the deep breathing. You will even feel that the wheezing is happening in you. Whenever the awareness becomes too much, some kind of a mild wheezing happens in you. One day, suddenly I had a wheezing in your house when I was staying, that at early morning these guys started shouting: “Oh Baba, hilarious, that Sunday, hmm? They started shouting: Oh,[ Tamil translation required (12:12 - 12:15). I got up. Arey, I am here, why are they shouting so loud? Anyhow. No really. They started shouting so loudly, still I remember that incident. I had a shock. I thought something seriously wrong happened to somebody.
It's a great blessing. It can never forget God. But it’ll torture us nah? Tortures - remember.
Participant: “Swamiji, do we use nose only for breathing?”
SPH: Yes, naturally you will do, only through nose. Only that hole is used for breathing - breathing in.
Participant: Can we not go to the bathroom?
SPH: Now quick then. Rush. Haan. No after that you will not feel like, because I'm locking all the locks.
Alright. Close your eyes. Lock the body. Just visualize, you have a lock in the knee and you're locking it. You have a lock in the back and you're locking it. You have a lock in the shoulder and you're locking it. Visualize step by step, your body is getting locked. Feel the lock and key sound - tuck-tuck, tuck-tuck. Your body is just locked. All your joints are just locked with a key. You are almost becoming a statue in the same sitting position. Feel, your neck is locked. Both shoulders are locked. Backbone is locked. Knees are locked and just locked - that's all.
Just lock your whole body. From toe to head, lock all the joints. Visualize you are locking all the joints. Lock literally.
Lock your body completely.
