“Next psychological level again and again being reminded about time.”

Next psychological level again and again being reminded about time. Again and again remembering about the time and the stress. Again disturbes your whole being. See the more number of thoughts, again and again you remember that you are having only less time. You are having only less time and time is running. Time is not, you are not able to do anything. The more the TPS, you feel that life is, you are under the stress. That is why he say “Hell is always eternal”. Why he say hell is eternal? Because when you feel that you are under stress, you are, you feel you are in hell.

If you look in to your life.. There is a beautiful Zen saying, it’s a wonderful saying: “If you want to delay anything, do it in a hurry way.” Do it hurriedly. If you want to delay anything, do as fast as possible. When you do as fast as possible, you will not do mistakes, you will just do blunders. So naturally the whole thing has to be redone. And when you live with a such a stress, you can be sure you will not have the satisfaction that you lived your life. When you don’t have a satisfaction, that we lived our life, whatever product you delivered, I tell you, the quality of your mind will simply express on the quality of the products which you deliver. Whatever you may do, you may say that you are achieved the goal in the outerworld, because of stress. But I can be sure, if you can avoid the idea of stress, you will achieve ten times more. Because the energy unleashing will be more through your body mind, when you are not having, when you are not internalizing. The chronological time, the concept, the chronological time, if it is not internalized, you will be able to unleash your potential energy in much more better way. Again coming to the point of a chronological time, internalizing the chronological time. The more you internalize it, the more you make yourself weak because the concept of time by nature it is negative. Especially in the west. The more the time moves you are moving towards the negative aspects of your life.

Other day was seeing a elderly lady, she came to one of our programs. Next day morning, she is supposed to be there the program for six o’clock. She came late. When I ask her, what happened? Why are you late? She said that she had to do all the makeup, all that (..) aa (..) washing the hair and dying it and all the things. I ask in this age, why do you want to do all these things, why don’t you relax from all these things. You know these are not good for health and the chemicals which you are applying to your body is not going to keep you healthy. Why do you use? She told me one shocking word. She said “Swamiji here we have to compete with youngsters. We have to look young. We can’t afford to look old. We have to compete with youngsters.”

So in this society, the more the time passes, you are face, you are going to face the negative aspects of the life. So when again and again you remember time, unconsciously you infuse dulness into your being. The very remembrance of the time, pulls down your energy. Mentaly the very remembrance of the time is enough to pull you down from your energy and the stress level is just hiked up. Just by the remembrance of the time. And you remember about the time more, because you are continuously either bother about the past or worrying about the future. You are just pulled and pushed, never we live in the present. When we come to the present, automatically the concept of time disappears.

When you come to the present, number of thoughts reduces and you do not even know how your life passes, how the time moves and how your life rolls. You remember about the time again and again, because your mind is pulled and pushed between the past and the future. Ever (..) in every level, in every state of your being, you are either thinking about the past or about the future. The psychological time, without living in the present moment, just being pulled and pushed by this time, just steals your peace and bliss. When I say “Time the Ultimate Thief” I mean continuously bothering about the past and the future without living in the present moment. The moment you come down to the present moment have tremendous potential energy, high potential energy will be unleashed, released in your whole being. You will be rejuvenated with the new being, with the new energy.

There is the beautiful concept in Zen Buddhism. In Zen again and again they say “whatever is, is energy. You are inside energy. You are inhaling and exhaling energy.” Of course, in the Rishi culture also, they say again and again “Whatever is energy. Isha Vashyam Edam Sharvam.“ Whatever exist is energy. But in our life, the more the time passes, the more the day passes, you only become less energetic. Here, one side all the great misticks, they claim, the more you get old, you are supposed to get more energetic. That is why the east we always worship the elderly people. We turn towards them for guidance, advice and for everything. Youth is not worshiped, only old, the elderly people are worshiped there. We turn towards to them, we turn and we look from them, we look to hear from them.

When Rishi culture again and again says “whatever exists is energy.” Why are you not able to experience it? Where we are missing, where is a missing link? The missing link is, you are caught with the past and future, which is not existence, which is not reality, which is only imaginary level. Whether it is your past or the future, it’s only imaginary level. What you perceive as the past or the future, is not the reality. You are not perceiving the reality. Whatever you remember about, as your past, whatever you remember as your past is only your remembrance, please be very clear, it is not your past. It was not your past, we always remember.

My childhood days are golden days. My college days are heaven. When I was in Bharat, it was such a wonderful thing. But be honest, when you really lived that time, when you lived, was it great? No. When you lived it was not, now your mind again and again projects, reminds you it was great. Whatever you remember about your past is only your remembrance. Your perception, not the reality.

On the same way, whatever you remember about the future, all your worries, all your insecurity problem, all your fears, everything is only going to be your perception. It is not going to be real future. I have seen people continuously worrying. See, in the beginning if you have some reason to worry, you worry. After some time you worry the master, you master the art of worrying. you don’t need some reason. You don’t need some special reason. You can just create some reason. And after that time, some time, even if you don’t find any reason, you simply start worrying. You are just having cheated for that. You are just living with worries, nothing else. It is just a mental habit.

Actually I read a small research, with a group of people. I got to some fifty people, told them to write whatever worries them, about their next six months. About their next six months, whatever fears, insecurity problem, worries you have, please pen it down. Actually, even of you are a psychologist, you can’t visualize more than six month of your life. You may try, you may try to make a calendar for one year. You may try to visualize about four, after four, five years and all.

They say, the data which you have, with that you can process only next six months of your life. And now they say it is coming down, because the changes, changes are happening so much, so much of changes. In all the level, socially, politically, economically in all the level so much of changes are happening, they say that is even coming down. Six months is the time maximum you can visualize about the future. So I told them, whatever fears and insecurities you have, please pen it down. They pend it and than after six month, again we all met. And I distributed, I collected those papers when they pend it down. After six months all of us again met, I distributed the paper and asked them tip, how many of your worries are become reality. How many of your worries are become reality? You will be shocked to see the result, hardly three percent. Actually only three percent. If there are hundred worries written by the each person, only three person is a maximum. I’m telling about maximum. Only three person. Then you can, can you imagine how much of mental energy is getting wasted? How much of your visualization capacity is getting wasted? How much of your power to create is getting wasted? The more you worry, the less you create. The more you are stressed, the less you are expressing.

All your concept about future is only your concept, It is not going to be your future. Please be very clear, feel relived, you are not going to have the future which you are thinking. If at all God blesses you to have the future which you are thinking, you will be damaging yourself more than what you think. You will be damaging yourself very badly. You can be relieved. You will not have the future of what you are visualizing. Whatever you visualize, even if you visualize your future with all possible goodness. Your visualization capacity itself is not enough to visualize all the dimensions of your future.

So whether it is your perceptions about past or your ideas about the future, it is just your ideas. It is not the reality of what is. The reality is only the present moment, or the moments which you are having in your hand. The moment you relax into the present moment, the moment you relax into the, this moment, simply you will see your body and mind will have a new energy.

I tell you, just for few minutes do this as a exercise. Just for few minutes close your doors and sit relaxed way and say “I accept my life as it is. My life, my comforts, my relationship, my body, my mind, I accept everything as it is now. Let me accept myself and the whole thing as it is now and come to the present moment.” The moment you take it clear Sankalpa, Sankalpa means conscious decision. The moment you take a conscious decision, very clearly come down to this present moment and start relaxing, you will be surprised. You can say you will be shocked to see the energy which happens to your being.

Actually, only then you touch your inner being. Only then you touch your inner being. The source of your energy. As long as you are bothered, you are bothering about the future or thinking about the past, you will be away from the source of energy. The source of energy is always a present moment. When you come to the present moment, only then you are rejuvenated, you are fresh, you are alive, you start living. Physically the concept of time makes you old, sick, uneasy, mentally the concept of time gives you stress, load and boredom. There is one more problem, boredom is one important problem because of the concept of time.

There is one beautiful Zen story. One great Zen master, he had some stomach problem, so doctors advised him, physicians, his physicians advised him, not to eat anything and just to have the same type of herbal food, the food with a little bit of herbs, same type of food everyday. So for more than ten years, he use to have same type of food. One day, the devotee who cooks, the disciple who cooks for him, she came and told him, master are you not bored? I'm bored cooking the same food everyday for you. Are you not bored eating the same food? And he said in beautiful way, he said “Same food? I’m not eating the same food everyday. How can I eat the same food everyday? Everyday the food is different. Everyday is new. It is not old. It can’t be old. How can I eat the same food everyday? Once I eat, I finished. Next day, naturally it is different food. New food.”

When you have a concept of time, again and again you think “Oh, same office, same house, same routine, same wife and same life.” You feel that life is same. The concept of boredom is also again because of the concept of time. Concept of Shana. When you are caught with the past, you feel the past is getting repeated. When you are caught in the Samskaras of the past, you feel the same Samskara is getting repeated. You are repeating the past again and again. It is just your conscious choice to liberate yourself from the past and the future and the presents. The psychological time or the concept of the psychological time again gives you stress and it takes away your peace and reduces your efficiency, above all gives the idea of boredom. It is same, idea about boredom happens to you because of this concept of psychological time.

Understand, the concept of time, both the ways, physically and mentally disturbs you. If you can have a little bit of conscious choice and if you can open yourself to a new way of thinking. If you can analyse and understand to the new way of thinking, perceiving the time, means, understand, the more you grow old, you will be mastering the techniques of living with this body and in this world. You will be mastering the techniques of living in this body and living in this world. So naturally, you don’t have to think, visualize, believe, by getting old, you have to fall sick.

First break that concept, next try to live in the present moment, instead of being pulled and pushed by the past and future. These two can solve the problems of time in the physical and mental level. These two is more than enough to help you in the spiritual level and moreover, all our problems are only physical and mental, none of our problems is spiritual. So, once these two are solved, naturally you will have the spiritual growth or the spiritual well being, spiritual understanding. So, I pray to the ultimate energy to guide us all to understand the concept of time, Shana and go beyond the Kshanika. Kshanika means slowly getting betrayed, slowly getting rusted out, slowly disappearing. Let it save us from the Kshanika or getting slowly, the slow time process of getting slowly disappearing. Slowly disappearing from this existence and give us the real health and bliss, peace, the eternal bliss.

Nithyananda, Thank you.
