Drop Emotional Attachment To Memories
\`
(00:15) You fill your whole hard drive with these memories. You go round, round, round in the same track; morning from the moment you get up till the moment you go to the bed, except this two...two thought nothing else will be there. Wherever you go you come back to the same two thoughts, same two, three thoughts. Nothing else. And anybody who touches the truth of two, three thought, immediately you feel you are hurt. You are hurt. Immediately you are hurt. And that is what is called by the word emotional weakness. See for example, all will be sitting and chatting, you will make Me a very simple statement, very casual statement, but suddenly that particular person hurt…. gets hurt by that statement. If I say one word about smoking, everybody will be enjoying, laughing but the guy who is not able to stop smoking, he feels he is hurt. Immediately he starts feeling disturbed and he thinks the whole discourse is aimed at him. 😊 The whole thing is directed towards him. I think from the first day everyone feels... 😊😊 😊 one on one conversation is going on. One on one conversation is going on. 😊
(02:10) There is no such thing as good memory or bad memory. Just throw away everything. What made you feel happy, even that when you try to hold, it will become misery. That is what I say, don't possess Nithyananda. When you try to possess that memory, you will start squeezing it, you will suffocate that photographs. They will run away. You will suffocate that memories, they will run away. If you just continuously try to stay around somebody 24 hours and simply that man will be fed up, gets fed up.
See the idea of beauty exists as long as you don't live together. Idea of beauty exists as long as you play the game from distance... you play the game from distance. With ordinary people, the more they go close to them more the problem, more they drift away, more they get detached. Anyhow your memory, the emotional attachment to memory only makes, only that is the main reason for memory loss.
If you feel that your memory is not sharp, you don't have sharp memory, you have memory loss problem, erase the old files, high resolution picture files. You will have enough space to store the things. You have so many nonsensical irrational unnecessary high resolution photographs in your hard drive. That is why it is so hard to drive. 😊😊 That is why it is so hard to drive. When your hard drive is filled. it is very hard to drive your life. That is why instead of driving you are pulling your life.
(04:37) There are two kinds of living, driving your life and pulling your life. We are all pulling. We have reduced our self to bullock cart state. If you have become a tractor means you start driving your life. If you have become a no mind being, the memory less person, you start flying as a helicopter, as a aircraft. If you are a aircraft, if you are a helicopter, from there you can access to any memory at any time because it is like operating from satellite. Random Access. Operating from satellite. You can play any dimension at any moment. One moment you can be a god, giving boons and exactly your body language will act like a god. Next moment you will be just like a small boy, a mere boy, child, playing. Exactly your whole body language, not only the words, even your body language will show you are a boy, mere child. Even the, every finger, every inch of your body will react that same memory. You will feel as if he has literally become a child, become a kid. The random Access; you can enter into any memory and play with it.
(06:22) That is what Ramakrishna calls Bhava Samadhi state, means beyond the bhavanas. You can have access to any bhavana. He suddenly enters into Devi bhava and you can see almost he’s a Devi. You can't imagine he is a man. The next moment he becomes a Krishna, you can't imagine he is a 50 years old man. And the devot...disciples they write a reminiscence a 50 year old man jumping and dancing how ugly it will look usually, and when Ramakrishna dances, they say such wonderful grace will ooze-out of him. You can see a total innocent child. Because simply enters into that bhava and everything else speaks the same bhava. Everything else speaks the same bhava. Somebody was telling Me, “Swamiji, even your hairs acts different way, even your hair behave in a different way with your different moods.” Every…. not only the hair, hair hole, even your pores will act in different way because you will have the total access to anything. You can download anything. If your hard drive is filled with high resolution scan…. scanned pictures, you will not be able to download the whole. So, you are half here, half there, half everywhere. Wherever you go you are half. Living with high resolution pictures is what I call living with logic, living with intellect, living with ego, living on a same track, living without the excitement, living with suffering, living with dukkha, living with boredom. All these things are one and the same. High resolution pictures in your hard drive, that's all.
(08:57) That is why you feel life is boredom. Except human being no animal feels life is a boredom. 😊 It is just your memories, memory association because of your memory association, too many high resolution pictures in your hard drive, the idea wonderful universe disappears from you. Things look very flat, very flat. You say, what is this universe? If you ask a question you always ask, “what is this universe?” You always ask, “What is this universe?” Means what? Out of frustration. Out of frustration you ask, “What is this world? What is this universe?” She is asking, “What is this wonderful universe?” The whole attitude is different. Arjuna is asking, “What kind of society it is? What kind of humanity it is? I have to kill my own relations?” His question is totally from memory, emotional attachment. His question is from the high resolution scanned files. The moment he stood in front of that whole group, all the childhood memories came up. The Bhishma, the grandfather who took care of him. The Dronacharya who taught him how to hold the bow and arrow. The Kripacharya, who took care of him, and all the brothers, so much of emotional memories.
(11:01) All those high resolution pictures are trying to enter into, enter at a time. So, if you try to download the whole thing at a time what happens? Computer crashes. That is what is Arjuna vishada yoga. Arjuna’s vishada is nothing but a computer crash. So much of emotional memories coming up, he’s not able to bear. His question is totally from different angle. Now this Devi is asking the same thing in a different… from different angle, “What is this wonderfilled universe? What is this wonderfilled universe?”
Participant: Inaudible
Ah.. wonderful universe, wonderfilled universe. When we say wonderful universe, the emphasis again on you. You feel it as wonderful. When you say it is wonderfilled, emphasis is on what IS, its too much... wonder filled; not even wonderful... wonder filled, overflowing. She says wonder-filled universe, overflowing. She must have been in the ecstasy. That is why she is asking, “Oh Shiva what is your reality?” She must have seen the Vishwaroopa or multidimensions of Him, that is why she is asking,“what is your reality?”
