“Just understand these few things; Man without atma bala is just bahu…”

Just understand these few things; Man without atma bala is just bahu bala. Will become goonda, rowdy. Man without atma bala, just with intellectual strength will become criminal, will become criminal. And one more important thing, these people without spiritual strength, just with intellectual strength they are the most dangerous people. They are the most dangerous people.

Even a person with physical strength will be honest, will be straight forward. He will not play double game. But the people who are with the intellectual strength, without spiritual strength, they are the most dangerous people. If they don’t like somebody, they want to do somebody, something they will go to any extreme. They will go to any extreme. And one more thing, they will not be honest, these guys they will have the swing of moods. The swing of moods. They will not be honest. They will be almost like a schizophrenia; they will be almost like a schizophrenia.

They will go to any extreme to do anything. I’ve seen many guys, in front of me they’ll talk as if they are the great disciples, just behind the back they will do something else, they will do something else. Poor guys, they can’t, they don’t understand they are cheating themself; they are cheating themself.

The people with intellectual strength, without spiritual strength, they are the most cunning people. Very dangerous. Third, the spiritual strength, of course only when a person achieves that, only when a person works for that, other two strengths are useful. When you work only through intellect, when you work only through head, again and again you create problem for yourself and for others.

Same way, when you are too much emotional, again, when you are too much emotional without intelligence to handle it, you’ll be just flooded away. Will be just taken away, you will not even know what you are doing. Again, these people are also dangerous. People who don’t have intellectual intelligence to handle their emotion, just emotional, they are the people who will always fall into depression, they will always fall into depression.

People ask me “Swamiji, again and again you say love is God, love is God, but love hurts us so much. Love gives us too much of trouble. What do you say about it?” I tell you one important thing. When I say love is God, you a should have enough intelligence also to handle the love. As of now, we are emotion love but not enough intelligence to handle love, not enough intelligence to handle the love.

It is a very important thing to handle love, to handle any emotion. When you don’t have enough of spiritual strength, when you don’t have enough balance, you will be just flooded away by the emotion. If you have carried away by emotions, you will create a world for yourself and for others. I’ve seen so many incidences in which people are just carried away by their emotion, they don’t use their intelligence properly. I’ve seen many people the moment they see me they will show extraordinary devotion. People who fall at my feet immediately, the moment when they see me if they fall at my feet I’m always afraid of them. I’m afraid of them. Really, I tell you, the people who show too much of emotion, they will only be pulling your legs. They will be the people who will be pulling your legs.

I always tell them, first analyse, first take your own time to understand, then follow. If you just follow and I don’t know tomorrow what you will decide. Tomorrow how your mood will take you. The people who are too much emotional without understanding, they come and tell me “O Swamiji, you are my God, I believe you, you have to do everything for me.”

As if believing me, by believing me they’re doing a big favour for me. People don’t understand, by believing me they do favour for themself. I’ve seen many people coming and telling me “I believe you, you have to do everything for me” as if, because they believe me, I’m bound to them. By believing me they’re doing a big favour for me.

Too much of emotion, too much of emotion again creates headache for them and for me. And they will come with all the extraordinary purposes, they wanted me to get job for them, they wanted me to get everything for them. I’m god as long as I will do their homework. I am God as long as I do their homework. The moment I don't do their homework, what will happen? I’ll be pulled down from that throne. I will be pulled down from that chair and I will be given all titles and names. Too much of emotion without understanding.

Sanskrit. In Sanskrit there’s a beautiful proverb: “Ati vinayam dhoortha lakshanam”. Means showing too much of devotion or humbleness without having understanding. They are the most dangerous guys. Much worse than snake. These guys when their mood goes to this swing, they’ll do anything. When their mood goes to this swing, they’ll do anything. They’ll go to any extreme. Means just taken away by the emotion. If you are taken away by the emotion, again you will create trouble for yourself and for others. If you are taken away by the intellect, again you’ll disturb yourself and others. You need something in between.

That’s why Buddha says madhya pada. Means the middle path. The power, ability to handle your intellect and emotion. The ability to handle your intellect and emotion. That is what I call, sama adhi. Sama means balanced, equal. When your head and heart is straightened, when your head and heart is balanced, you just drop into your being. Head and heart, balancing the head and the heart is what I call sama adhi, sama adhi. Then you naturally fall into samadhi. As long as you are caught in the head or in the heart, you will be continuously troubled. All your trouble is nothing but fight between head and the heart. All your trouble is nothing but fight between head and the heart.

Your whole life is nothing but dilemma. If you look into you, all your sufferings, the root will be dilemma. All your sufferings are rooted at one thing which is dilemma. Fight between head and the heart. The moment the fight stops, the moment it is balanced you fall into samadhi.

Next question, how to balance. We know this is the problem. How to balance? Bring witnessing consciousness. When you’re intellectual arrogant, violent, not caring for anybody, not bothering about any after effect or side effects. Just witness your thoughts, don’t decide. Don’t move. Don’t do anything. Witness your thoughts. That’ll balance the intellect.

Same way, when you are emotional, hurt, disturbed or greed, love, passion, lust, anger, any emotion, when it raises create a deep witnessing consciousness. Never allow the frequency of the emotion higher than the frequency of your consciousness. Two thing, frequency of your consciousness and frequency of the emotions. As long as the frequency of your consciousness is higher, you will never be flooded, taken away by your emotion. The moment the frequency of the emotion becomes higher than the frequency of consciousness, you will be just taken away. You will be just flooded away. You will not even know what you’re doing.

As I was talking about the engrams yesterday - samskaras. Samskaras by themself, they don’t disturb you. The emotion attachment to the samskaras - that creates a trouble. If you have not created any emotional attachment to the samskara, whether love or hate, love or hate. If you’ve not created any emotional attachment to the samskara, engrams, it’ll never come up and disturb you. It’ll come up and disturb you only if you have some attachment. Only if you have some attachment.

The emotional attachment to the engrams is a thing which creates trouble for you. Which creates deep disturbance for you. People ask me, “Swamiji, you say we should not be attached, how can we be in the family? We have to be attached to our kids. We have to be attached to our husband, we have to be attached to our family, we have to be attached to everybody, what to do?” Be very clear, the more attachment you have, you’re be only troubling them more. You’ll be possessing them. When you really care for them, you will never have attachment. You will have something called love.

Which we need to understand very deeply, the difference between love and attachment. When you are attached, you reduce them as one of your possession. Almost like a one more furniture. One more furniture. Furniture is after all dead. That’ll listen what you want, but a living beings cannot be possessed. You cannot do what you want with the living beings. When you are attached, you naturally suffocate them by your possessiveness. By your too much of asking attention from them or controlling them, according to your ideology.

Whenever you are attached, you’ll be creating trouble for yourself and for them. If you have love, the very idea of love will give freedom for the other person. Will give freedom to the other person.

Love will create such a wonderful space in which you will also grow, you will let the other person grow. Love is such a beautiful space, you will never bind the other person. You will never bind the other person. You will never disturb the other person. You will never hurt the other person. You will know what has to be done.

You will not have a confusion, with love you will never have a confusion, with attachment you will continuously have confusion. Should I tell this to him or not? Should I do this to him or not? Will he mistake me? Will he recognise me? Will he accept my decision? All these confusions will exist as long as you have attachment. The moment you enter into the space of love, your very presence will heal the other person. Your very presence will make the other person feel comfortable. Your very presence will make the other person grow. Your very presence will be just radiating.

When you intensely bring consciousness to your emotion, when you increase the frequency of the consciousness, naturally you will not be taken away by the emotions. You will have something called emotional intelligence. Be very clear, only mind can control the body and buddhi can control the mind. Only atma can control the buddhi. Only a higher level things can control lower level things. Emotion can control intelect. Only intelligence can control your emotion. When I say the word intelligence, I mean samadhi, increasing the frequency of consciousness. Remaining as a witness, living in the present moment. Living in the present moment, remaining as a witness or entering into the thoughtless awareness. These are the few wonderful straight direct path to increase a frequency of your consciousness, to reach the samadhi state. To reach the emotional intelligence. When I use the word emotional intelligence, I mean samadhi. Only a person who has reached samadhi, only a person who practices samadhi will have emotional intelligence. Samadhi can be practised if you can again and again bring yourself to witnessing consciousness, you will be in samadhi. You will be experiencing samadhi. You will be living in samadhi. Living in samadhi, experiencing samadhi and expressing samadhi is what I call emotional intelligence. Balancing the head and the heart and integrating the head and the heart naturally leads you to samadhi. Integrating can happen only when you bring witnessing consciousness into your being. Only when you start becoming witness you will be stable, you will be able to be in the sama adhi state. Whether you are intellectual or emotional. Whether you are intellectual or emotional, you can integrate both and go beyond and reach the state of sama adhi.

I pray to the ultimate divine, let you all experience, let us all experience the samadhi state and radiate eternal bliss, Nithyananda, thank you.
