Accepting Yourself is Freedom!

(00:14) SPH: Tamas, rajas and sattva. The persons who are caught in sattva should go move…... the persons who are caught in rajas, they should move towards sattva. The guys who are caught in tamas should move at least to rajas. But you are caught in rajas so move towards sattva.

Participant: I realize that whatever problems or whatever I feel now are my desires only. The results of my desires only.

SPH: Nothing else.

Participant: It is my creation only.

SPH: Simply your creation. That's all. Over. There is no need to oppose. Live happily. Over. Live up. That's all. Over. See, even with desire if you are ready to have that suffering happily, have, be happy. Live happily with suffering.

Participant: No I feel...I feel..I feel that I need not even consider it as a suffering.

SPH: Suffering. That's all. See when you start living happily with suffering it will not be even suffering. There is no need even to bring the word suffering. That's all. Live happily. Over. Instant liberation. You can have a board here, instant liberation in cheap cost, 😊 😊 at free of cost, not even cheap cost. That is true. This is what I call liberation. Just be in that same state, continuously.

Ah.. Just don't bother. Now you know the glimpse of this eh...peace and joy and happiness, just live with it. Over. But the mind starts creating a doubt, “Oh how can enlightenment be so simple? How can enlightenment be so easy? I think somewhere I am missing. I should find out that missing link.”

(02:07) Participant: Even I am not worried about enlightenment word and all.

SPH: Ah...That's all. Relax and live happily. Over.

Participant: (Tamil) “எதாவது கவலை வந்தா, அந்த கவலைய வந்து நடந்துட்டா நம்மளால தடுக்க முடியாது. நடந்துட்டா நடந்துட்டு போகுதுன்னு நினைச்சாவே அந்த கவலை அப்படியே drop ஆயிடுது.”

[Translation: Sometimes when the worry comes and we think more about worry and worry more instead if we drop expecting about worry the worry drop by itself.]

SPH: That's all.

Participant: (Tamil) இப்போ நாலு அஞ்சு கவலைய நினைச்சா, ஒவ்வொண்ணா நினைச்சுட்டு வரும் போது, நடந்தா நடந்துட்டு போகுது, அதுக்கப்புறம் நம்ம என்ன பண்ண போறோம்ன்னு நம்மளால தடுக்க முடியாது. அப்படியே உட்டோம்ன்னா அது படி அப்படியே disappear ஆயிடுது.

[Translation: If I think about four, five worries one after one practically I can’t stop it. So better let me stop thinking about worries it will simply disappear.]

SPH: That's all, that's all. Over, Over.

Participant: Is pain the same?

SPH: Same

Participant: Swamiji for the first time in life I realised, even I accepting our flaws, accepting ourselves as we are is the greatest freedom and joy.

SPH: Yes. See the, accepting yourself is the greatest freedom. Beauty happens to you only when you accept yourself. Till then whatever you know beauty is nothing but makeup. Your whole being becomes beautiful. You start radiating beauty when you accept yourself. When you start radiating grace when you accept yourself. Otherwise whatever you know about yourself is nothing true.

Participant: Swamiji I had written one as peer pressure. I always thought peer pressure is something I have to keep up with. When others perform we believe peer pressure, we have to, you have to.

SPH: When you drop out you will create pressure for others. I tell you when you drop out you will become so dynamic, so alive, so alert, you will start creating pressure for others.
