“I had My first experience of Enlightenment.”

I had My first experience of Enlightenment. It was Buddha Purnima, the sun was setting, and moon was rising. After 4:30, before the six; in the sandhya time. I was sitting at the foothills of Arunachala. I was trying to meditate, I can't even say I was meditating. I was just playing with that thinking. Searching the source of thoughts. There was a meditation technique which I was practicing. I was just searching the source of thoughts, from where the thoughts are originating, from where the thoughts are coming. Suddenly something happened, something broke in Me. Like, I have been sucked inside, My whole being is just sucked inside and something opened.

I was sitting closed eyes but simply something opened inside. I could see complete this side 360-degree and this side 360-degree at a time. This 360-degree and this 360-degree, I was able to see a single moment - the whole. I neither opened My eyes nor need to down like a...It’s very difficult to understand logically. You can't understand this statement. I was able to see this side 360-degree and this side 360-degree. Usually you know another...vision, but simply something happened; Completely I was able to see. Actually somebody asked Me, "How can you see Swamiji, how is it possible?" Understand this one simple thing, in the dream, you are seeing the dream, you are seeing a whole world. If you are supposed to-want to see something behind you, you turn your head and see. Even in the dreams you don't turn your head, even the dream body doesn’t turn its head to see something the behind or the backside. Why? Because in your Consciousness the whole thing has risen.

You see the dream world, the whole dream world is created in your Consciousness. To see something behind you, you don't have to turn your head in dream state. The whole dream you will be able to see completely - this side 360-degree and this side 360-degree at a time. Just analyze your dreams scattering, in dreams you will never turn your head to see something. You will never turn your head to see something. You will be able to see complete 360 of this side and this side at a time. At same time, you will able to see the complete dream, the complete dream body.

Because you are projecting the whole thing in your own Consciousness. It is on your Consciousness you paint this picture. It is on your canvas you are painting this picture. Your Consciousness is the screen on which you project this movie. Because in the dream you know you are projecting, you don't have to turn your face to see something. The whole thing is perceived at the same time. The same moment the whole thing is perceived, the whole thing is grasped, processed, understood and responded. The same single moment - moment of receiving the information, processing the data and responding. The whole thing happens in the same Kshana, the single Kshana the whole process happens. That is the reason you don't have to turn your head, you don't have to turn your face to see something which is behind you.

The dream as and now, you all have the 360-vision. The same thing happened, the same experience happened to Me in the waking state or so-called waking state. Just the experience, this whole thing is painted in Me. The moment I was able to see this side 360-degree, and this side 360; the moment that Satori happened, immediately the next moment, not only I was able to see, I could feel that everything is Me. Just as you feel your body vibrating, alive. I could feel the whole thing is Me and vibrating, alive.

If somebody touches your body you feel that, you feel it, you experience it. Because you are living in that body. You are alive in that area. If somebody puts their hand here, you will not feel. If somebody puts their hand here you will feel, because you are alive here, dead here. You are alive here but here you are dead. After My first glimpse of Satori, something broke inside. I would see very clearly, not only see, I would feel very clearly as this is alive, this is also alive. As this is alive, this is also alive. I felt very clearly the whole thing is just alive, living. What we usually think as Me, what I was thinking as Me; I felt that same, everything, the whole. With what idea I was associating Me, in the same intensity, with the same life I could feel the whole thing is Me.

The temple which is this side the hill which was in front of Me. And the small other temple which was behind Me. The whole city I could see completely and not only that I could feel it, it is Me. Like this stone, every plant, every tree, whole thing became alive. I was able to see very clearly, feel very clearly- it’s just Me. The same moment, such a tremendous Bliss, Joy and Ecstasy happened. Because it is a liberation from fear. I don't have to protect Myself from anything, a deep feeling of security, deep sense of belongingness; I have come home. The deep sense that I am this, that has happened. The moment that has happened such a freedom from the fear, the insecured feeling. That gave Me such a deep Bliss of Ecstasy. I don't know, I can say justice. I can't do justice by trying to explain this experience by words. Whatever I will be able to tell, of course again and again I tried. I tried to create more and more records of this experience, so that somebody who sees all the records, make as the glimpse. So I am trying to explain this experience, express this experience from various angles so that for somebody, at some moment, something will click as inside of Me happened. That is why again and again I am trying to express it what has happened. That gave Me such a tremendous courage and confidence, the fear of life or the fear of death completely disappeared and never came back.

And such a deep fulfillment of sense of belongingness, sense of belongingness; that fulfillment. We continuously protect ourself because we think this is something and this is something. That is why we say...it’s to hot. It is too hot, why? Because that is different and this is different. That is why continuously you have to protect youself from that, as long as there is that and this, you will torture yourself and others. As long as that and this is there, you will have tremendous fear or greed. Either you have fear or greed... as long as that, this and that is there or that and this is there, then fear and greed. The moment that this and that has disappeared in Me, it was such a tremendous freedom and ecstasy. First thing the fear disappeared, next thing greed disappeared because there is no need for greed. It is there for Me. I will not be greedy for this because it’s already there for Me. Usually greed happens only towards the things which you don't have.

Whatever you’ll have, you will have obedient. If you have simple feel, if you need you then will know you. If you know the greed for you, never, you will never be greedy. Because I experienced very clearly, the whole thing is Me; the fear disappeared. The next- because the whole thing is Me, the greed also disappeared, the greed also disappeared. I can say this is the blueprint of Enlightenment, blueprint of Enlightenment; Satori. And such a Bliss Fever, actually it was feverish but filled with Bliss; Bliss Fever. Maybe, I think 3-4 hours I was in the same state without moving the body. After 3-4 hours I felt to move the body, but I could see very clearly, completely 360-degree. 360-degree I could see inside My dream I am walking. I am just walking inside Me. It is like a - I am the whole - I am just walking inside Me. The hands moves inside the body, how do you feel? Or your heart function...your heart you just sit and watch your heart, inside you something is moving, vibrating.

Inside me, same way I felt the whole is Me, Inside Me is what is moving. Next 3-4 days I had the same Consciousness, same feeling with such a deep ecstasy. Such wonderful Bliss. It transformed My whole life and the deep quest or the search to be in the same State has started raising. Actually this experience gave the courage to work towards, to work towards the Enlightenment, to work towards the ultimate experience. Or to be established in that same state. 15-years ago, same day, same time, I think same moon and sun witnessed. The same moon which you are seeing, the same Sun which is setting now has witnessed the whole incident, or the whole experience. Of course, I am not able to make it more words. So I think...this much I can explain as and now. With My full heart I bless you all, let you all have the same Bliss in your life. Let you all experience the same Divine in your life. Let you all experience the same Consciousness in your dream. Let you live, become...the Eternal Bliss. Nithyananda. Thank you.

We will do small meditation, very simple meditation technique. I can create the possibility; whomsoever is sincere, courageous can jump and have experience. I can create the same space in which the experience has happened in Me; 15-years ago, the same time, same day, the same sunset and moon rising and the same person is here. So there is every possibility you can also take jump, you can walk through Me into... I create the same space, same Consciousnesses, just the simple-very simple instruction. After closing the eyes, instead of seeing which is front of you. You see when you close your eyes, in front of you, you will be seeing the pictures, visualization. Try to see the pictures behind you also, just try. It will be - you will be sitting like this but inside the mind turn like this and sit. Visually, mentally visualize you will be sitting like this. Inside the mind think you are sitting like this and you are seeing this side the whole thing moving.

Naturally you visualize you are sitting towards that, you will be visualizing the front and you visualizing the visualization of the person also. You visualizing the visualization of the person whom you are visualizing. So naturally you and whom you are seeing, he seeing you. Simply you are under the complete visualization, you are broken into pieces. Understand it is very, very, very deep concentrating. You will sit like this and you close your eyes. When you close your eyes usually you will see the pictures in front of you. Now visualize instead of seeing the pictures in front of you, start seeing behind you. Visualize that- if somebody- you are sitting like this, facing like this. And you are seeing things behind you. The whole screen, the Conscious screen will break and expand. You will able to see the complete 360 degree. The moment the one delusion is broken, simply you relax into Bliss, the Eternal Bliss.

Usually you don't even have 120-degree vision, you have only 20-degree vision. The more you're greedy or afraid of something, the vision will reduce. If you’re greedy of something you will only gaze at that. If you are afraid of something you will only gaze at that. There is a possibility to see 120, but usually you don't see 120. You use only 20-degree vision. The more your vision is infused, the more the awareness will infuse. Please be very clear this is a difference between concentration and awareness. When the concentration increases less things vision you will have. You will excluding things, you will concentrate only on that. When the awareness increases, you will be expanding your vision, you will be expanding your vision- again you expand. When you are concentrating you have, instead of 10 you will have 5 then 2-D then only 1-D. This is what concentration. When the awareness increases at some time it will become 20, it will become 30 then completely the 120. When you come to the 120, simply you break and complete 360 opens.

Till 120 degree you need to do sadhana, the moment you touch 120 something breaks and you go to the zone, non-return zone. You go towards the non-return zone. You start experiencing complete 360, complete 360. That’s what I call complete awareness of your being. That is what I call Self-Realization, you realize your whole self.

As on now you have realized only part of the self. You have realized only the economical part of life; you would have fulfilled, you would have reached health...wealth. Or you would have realized only relationship, you may have got a nice family, that’s all. Or you would have realized only physical health...or you will be having only mental health, that's all...Means only 20 vision, only 20 vision.

But when a person expands his awareness, and dissolves into 360; the whole self is realized. Physical health, mental health, economical well-being or social relationships or spiritual growth. Ultimately, the whole self is realized. You expand and explode in all dimensions.

Expanding and exploding in all directions is what I call Satori. Satori is nothing but expanding in all directions, expanding in all directions. Just take few minutes and meditate, I will create the same space. Courageous, sincere guys can get the jump and experience the same. Inside your conscious mind, inside the screen visualize you are sitting facing you. When you are facing you, the person who faces you, is seeing you. Visualize clearly, you are sitting facing you, at least facing you. Please see your back or which is behind you. I will do the small worship to give a gratitude to Existence which gave this experience in Me. One thing, you are seeing Me, having Me as I am now because of this experience. If at all you feel you are helped by Me in some way. It is because the Existence gave Me this experience. If you feel you are helped by Me in some way, you are indebted to this Existence, Divine Energy, God; whatever you may call.

Whatever is Divine to us in our life. If it all you feel you are helped, give your gratitude to Him for giving such a Master to you in the life. Because it is He who gave it, who made Me as I am now...So we offer this worship, I give My gratitude to Arunachala, Arunachala, Anandeshwara.
