The Satsang

Inner chattering is a bridge between body and mind. It is not completely mind because mind is something more than inner chattering. It is not completely body, because is body is physical. It is something in between. In Sanskrit we use a beautiful word - Samskara. Samskaras are the engraved memories. These are the reason for the inner chattering, our verbalization. Today we will see about verbalization: Yoga for our inner chattering, Yoga for Verbalization.

Again and again, all the great masters declare, you are Aatman, you are energy. There is a beautiful statement in the Upanishad, whatever you think, can be realized in the night, in the dream time, you create your own world. Nobody else creates it. The whole thing you see is your own creation. If you can create a complete world in the dream state, why you can't in the waking state? There is no reason why we should not or can't make our own world in the waking state. To tell you honestly, if you look deep into your being, you can understand that this world is made of the same stuff in which your dreams are made. It's a very shaking statement, difficult to believe. But anybody who has got any question to argue or to raise against this point is welcome. We will analyze it more deeply. Please understand I am making this statement, this world is made of the same stuff in which your dreams are made. Now let me carry on.

Again and again Upanishad asks us, when you can create a big world in the dream, why can't in waking state and you can create. Whatever you express inside your space, you express it in the outer world. Any discovery, whether is it scientific or in field of medicine, or in the field of physics, or in the field of machineries or any discovery, first it has to discovered, it has to be created in the mind of the scientist- in his inner space, he has to create it only then he can do it in the outer space - in the outer world. In the dream world, you do the same thing, you create something in your inner space and you project it in the outer space. In the waking state also you create something in your inner space and you project it in your outer world. But when you create the model in your inner space, you do some mistakes, not even mistakes, I can say blunders. After that mistake, we project the same model in our outer world. Once the results come we start asking, how can this be my creation? If I would have created, I would have created in a much better way. But we don't look into the mistake which we do when we create the model, when we create the mould. If you can work on the mould, if you can correct the model, you will be able to project what you want to project- first thing, and then you will have a tremendous understanding that the whole world is your projection. When you correct the mistakes you are doing in your current verbalization, you will achieve 2 things: first - the shakti to realize your dreams, to make your dreams into reality. Second thing: the buddhi to realize that the reality itself is nothing but your dream. Shakti to make your dreams into reality and buddhi to realize that the reality itself is nothing but your dream. Even once if you can create a model in your inner world and project it in the outer world clearly, you will realize you can create. When you realize you can make your dreams into reality, immediately you will realize whatever you think is reality is nothing but your dream. You will realize these two things at the same time.

Now let us see what are the mistakes we are doing in our inner chattering, inside our mind. Let us see deeply what are the mistakes we are doing when we create the mould. The mould for the outer world is created in our uncounsciousness, where you repeat the words without your consciousness. For example, when you brush your teeth your mind will be continously repeating some words. if you have observing capacity, you can see, sometimes for more than 10 days, or a month, you will be repeating same type of words when you do a particular work. Morning when you get up from bed, uncounsciously, you will be repeating same type of words. Whe you take bath, uncounscioulsy you will be repeating same type of words. Morning around 9 o'clock, you will be repeating same kind of words. How many of you have experience this, that at a particular time, you will be repeating same kind of words? even if you dont have to go to the office, you will be repeating the words which you usually repeat in the office inside your mind. Even on a weekend you will repeat the words, which you usually use in the office. One part of your mind will tell , no no today is a holiday, today is a weekend, don't bother about all these things, relax. Even then your mind will not listen. Your mind has got a habit of repeating words continuosly, uncounsciouly without your knowledge. Many times, you stand in rain for 2-3 minutes, there is no reason that immediately you should sneeze. because your body take several hours to process. You continously repeat the word, if I stand in rain, I will get cold, I will start sneezing. The very repetition, or the very power given to these words, immediately expresses itself as a symptom. The words you repeat continuosly, uncounsciously, are given tremendous power by your being. Its almost like in front of a projector light, you keep a slide, you can see that in reality on the screen. If you keep a slide of a temple, you can see the temple on the screen. If you keep a slide of an actor, actress you can see the actor or the actress. Any slide you keep, you can see that in reality. Same way any slide you keep in mind, which is kept in front of your consciousness, immediately it is projected and is experienced as reality. Especially the inner chattering that goes on continuosly uncounsciously plays a major role in your life. projecting and creating your life. First thing, which we need to understand, we give power to self contradicting engrams, self contradicting samskaras. Engraved memories is what I call engrams. In Sanskrit, we use the word Samskaras. We give power to self contradicting samskaras. For example. if you want to get rid of some disease, if you repeat the words, I want to get rid of this disease, the more you repeat the word 'disease', the more power you are giving to the word 'disease'. wheneve you repeat or utter the word disease, the moment you remember the word disease, you give the power to that word. The imprint or the samskara of the disease gets deeper in your system. Any word unconsciously repeated in your being is given power. In Ramayana, there is a beautiful character called Bali, he has got a beautiful boon, if you face him, if anybody faces him, he gets half of their power. So nobody can conquer him. If you go in front of him, half of your power will go away to him. you can't defeat him, because already he has his powers and plus half of your power also went to him. So naturally he will be you plus something more. Half plus something more. Naturally you will be defeated. So Bali is the samskara. All your samskaras are Bali, the moment you face them you give them half of your energy. All self contradicting samskaras, when you give power to them, you can never get rid of them. that is why person who wants to quit smoking can never get rid of it. Try your best. Again and again create words, I will quit smoking, I will quit smoking, never!! it will never happen, because the moment you give power to the engram, you give power to smoking also.

You give enough power to disease when you say I will get rid of this disease. the samskara which you need to create or repeat or to which you should give power should be straight, means instead of saying I should get rid of this disease you should repeat that I will be healthy. words which are straight, words which will create only positive memory in you, the words which should be given power should be very straight and clear. see when you repeat the word, I should become healthy, again and again you remember your health or well being. so that concept or that idea is given power. anything which you remember and repeat inside your being unconsciously is given tremendous power by your being. when you repeat the samskaras that I should be healthy straight away you progress in your life. but when you create an engram that I should get rid of this disease, straightaway you are creating a self contradictory samskara. when you give more power to such samskaras you create only more trouble for yourself. either you become split personality or schizophrenic. there is a beautiful story. one person wanted to have miraculous powers. he went to a Himalayas to see a master master and asked for the miraculous powers. the master advised him don’t ask for miraculous powers, ask for meditation and enlightenment. that is only right thing and it will do good for you. but this person is not ready to listen to the master. he said give what I want, I don’t want your advice. in those days spirituality was sellers market now it is buyers market. this person started demanding supply what I want otherwise I have other shops. I don’t need your advice. so naturally master couldn’t do anything. finally the master said alright I will give you a medicine take it to your home and drink. but only one condition. you should not remember monkey when you drink this. Immediately. the person asked what should I do if I remember a monkey. master said take bath and then take the medicine. now you know this person is already in a big trouble. he thought I never usually remember monkeys. why should I bother. he went to the house. started drinking, the moment he picked up the bottle, he thought, I should not remember monkey. and then thought..ohhhh...I remembered monkey. now what to do..I have to go and take bath. he went to take bath, came out of the bathroom, now you know what would have happened. (laughter). again he remembered the monkey. again he ran to the bathroom, came back, picked up the bottle and again remembered the monkey. half an hour, he is just running from the bathroom to bedroom and after sometime even in the bedroom he started screaming monkey monkey monkey. After 2-3 days he understood the whole drama, he ran to the master and said please relieve the from these monkeys. just do one favour..I don’t want your medicine, don’t want this miraculous powers, just relieve me from these monkeys. that one is enough. when you give power to the samskara I should not remember monkey, it is self contradicting engram, a self contradictory samskara. when you create a self contradictory samskara, you only create trouble for yourself.

you are in trap. your life will be naturally towards the misery. many people come and ask me Swamiji if you say the whole world is our creation then why are we suffering. I don’t want to suffer, but again and again I am suffering. why?? understand, look into your being deeply. there must be something, there must be some reason you will be enjoying the sufferings or the samskaras which give you sufferings. either you have some vested interest in your suffering, many times when you are suffering you get attention from others, when you fall sick people attend you. you are happy when people attend you. you understand unconsciously that when you fall sick, people attend you. I can enjoy the attention. if you are seeking attention you will continuously creating some kind of suffering/problem for yourself, like fear, cold, headache..and other small things. etc. something directly or indirectly you will be enjoying. you will have some vested interest in your suffering. or the engrams which create suffering, some engrams you will be enjoying and as a side effect this suffering will come. when the suffering comes, you say..no.no..no...I did not ask for suffering. One small story. a guy went to a restaurant and ordered for dosa, idli, wada, everything. he finished everything. at the end, the waiter came up with a bill for him. and this guy said, why did you bring this bill..I did not ask for it. but you should know, if you order the food, naturally you will receive the bill. many times without even realizing or understanding what will be the side effect of this engram you enjoy those engrams or samskaras. you allow them to grow in your being. only when the after effects happen, you start condemning no..no..no...I have not asked for this. how did I get this. if you look into your being deeply you can understand wherever you are creating suffering, you will be creating a self contradicting samskara or the samskara which you created for some purpose creating misery also as a side effect. if you can analyze your being, you will be able to understand the truth of what I am expressing. now I will give you a small exercise coz this exercize will make you understand what I am saying. it will help you to internalize the concepts which I am expressing. you will just find atleast 10 samskaras which are self contradictory and which you are using in your life. you can find 10 in 10 minutes. because you have at least few hundreds. you can have a book. its only for your purpose. you can carry the book later on. this is just to give you an idea of how you create a self contradicting. engram . please write 10 engrams which you create an engram. then we will work on how to straighten it. third part will be simple meditation technique to throw away the self contradicting engrams which you created for your being.

please have the paper and pen. it is for yourself, so please do not show it to the next person. no body will see it. so you can write it.

if you have any doubt about the word self contradictory samskara you can ask. the samskara which you created to create a particular result but which is creating opposite result is called self contradictory samskara.

because he wordings are not proper. because the thoughts are not straight. please write any 10 self cont. engrams which you created inside your mind. eg. I should get rid of this disease. I should get rid of this addiction, desire, and problem, all these are negative engrams. then we will do a simple med. tech. to throw them away from your consciousness or from your space. then a simple tech. how to straighten them. how to make them into positive engrams.27:10

(people write)

yes. now we will analyze all these ideas with your questions. you are welcome to put any question.

Swamiji, (some question)

2 things- when I made the statement. I meant dreams of your thougts. another thing even the dreams in the deep sleep are created by you, if you understand they are nothing but suppressed desires and fears. and if you see the day dreams they are the expressions of the night dream. there is aa beautiful word - association, by Sigmund flued. he says we do not think, we associate. for eg. if you see a dog in the street, immediately. you will remember your pet dog with which you played in your childhood. then you will remember your teacher, under whom you studied. then you remember the place where your teacher stayed or your school used to be. and thus you will see that your thoughts will just move. there is no logical confection between the dog and the teacher. just your mind is moving thru mere association. You don’t even realize that you associating. even your thinking is association. So naturally your dreams will also be created by you. the root is fear and greed. Suppressed desires and supp. fears are the roots. from the roots, different different combination are created. its like a rainbow color, there are 7 colors. they are the roots, from them you can create thousands of shades. similarly your roots are fear and greed. and all the colors from them are created by you only. every day every night you will see different shades. you cant say no no no I have not created this shades. root of these shades is created by you only. the root thoughtd/engrams are your creation. be it day dreaming or night dreaming. if you observe closely the both are closely related. if you fast for 2-3 days, third day in the night in the dream you will have feast. how many of you experience this? anything you suppress. you enjoy that in your dream. it can be fear or greed.

when I say day dream, its this world when I say night dream its the dream in the night. both are created by you. and you are directly responsible.

(second question)

when you unconsciously repeat continuously, those words have thousand times more power than the words that you repeat in your consciousness. boz you never believe your consciousness. you ahve all your faith in your unconsciousness. so be aware never allow any negative engram in your unconsciousness.

(third question)

one more thing, atleast with positive engram you have a hope..may..may not.. the hope itself will be you a path to move. but neg engrams have nothing, they have no hope at all. you have no where to go. thts what we call tamas. inertia. so it is better to be in rajas than in tamas.

(4 question)

for eg if you are addicted to coffe, exactly at 7 o'clock you will want coffee. even if you don’t see the clock you will need coffee. have you exp this?? this is what I call, continously ngrams are created in your being. you night ahve not exp. the exact exp I mentioned, but some similar exp.

(5 question)

to tell you honestly, I work ith patients...we do the meditation healing. only when a person comes to know he has a problem or he knows he gets a problem with a particular food, he starts the problemm. ofcourse what I am saying is very difficult to understand. boz for your lifestyle, your understanding is totally diff. but according to my understanding the engrams or the mental ideas play a major role. so your problem that b4 starting itself, you have decided the problem that after becoming vegetarian I wil become diabetic. I need thids kind of food I will have this trouble. you cannot enter the project. you already dediced..already have a concept. first thing - becoming veg. or non-veg is no way connected to spiritual growth. please understand that. there are many non-veg people who became enlightened. so you do not have to force yourself to become vegg. next tthing, the idea that I wont to be vegg..I will have only this typ eof food, dieabetic, all these things, you can say, surely its not reality. its more like a, understand this one thing, sometimes we listen all the arguments and then pass the judgement, sometimes, we create judgement and then collect arguments just to support the judgement. here, if uanalyze little deeply, somehow with some belief, one thing, be very clear, there are enough of superstitions in the religions similaryl, there are enough of supr. in scicne also. sometimes, we just start believing, because some scientist has said that. we don’t even look into it, we just start believing. so may be some scientifix superstition enter into your head. you just started believing that by vegg. food I am going to be diabetic. surely you will not bcome diat. there are enough of food which wil not make you diab. its just your choice. so you just have to be aware.

(6 q) - are you pure vegg.?

es, I am a pure vegg.

(7 q) ok..if you are pure veg. why you don’t eat non-vegg.?

Just because I don’t like. from my childhood, I am born asnd brought up with this life style that the firs tthing, next thing, its not related to the spiritual growth but I have my idea of ahimsa. see, ahima is my lifestyle not for the sake of spiritual groth , but just I love it. I don’t want to put vegg food as the basic condition for the spiritual groth. if I do that, one half of the humanity we are removing or eliminating. thts the reason I don’t want to put vegg as a basic condition. but just a s a lifesryle I love it. thts different.

in your minf also, I will tell you honestly, there are some pppl, who will take non-veg food only 15 min. a day and they forget it. but there are other people, who do not eat non-veg food but continuously think about it. (laughter) so it is better to have 15 min non-veg food than mentally having the non-veg fod for 24 hours. and one more thing, the continuous idea, some more problem, when you start doing all these practices you become more egoistic. a non-veg person will be more near to god than a person who is egoistic about his vegg. life. you create an ego that I am a vegg. I am holier than you..I am in someway better than you. anything that you do for fulfillment will never give you ego. anything you force and do it, will give you strong ego. I don’t know whether it will give you spiritual growth or not but it will give you strong ego. any morality which is forced on you or which you do it by force, by suppressing, will give you strong ego. when people become rich, they smell of money. too much of jewellery, too much of show off. ..that is what I call smelling of money. same way force some morality on you, you will smell of the morality. you will talk only about this. you will continuously torture your friends and family, you will continuosly ask them to follow the same moralitty or atleast give you respect for following that morality. that you are some way great. so never force ursefl to anything. let things happen as understanding.

(q)

one thing, only 2 things - either you understand and drop or you will continue. even if you force and drop, you will drop 11 times a year. I have seen one person came I tld me Swamiji I have stopped smoking 11 times this year. (laughter) means what?? you will be doing the same thing. 11 times you will stop doing that morality.

anything its straightway gives you results, is positive. anything that is not giving results is self contradicting.

(q I always keep on tellnig my children you behave well...you should have moral values, don’t go and date, you are an Bharatn, you cannot live together, etc..etc..all these things, I continuosly keep on telling them. what should I do?)

see these moralities are such beautiful thing,s you should not force them into it, you should make them understand. tell them, if you now itself start going around you will gathem too much of fantasies. too much of fantasies will never let you live with anybody happily. we don’t have an eqquivalent word for divorce in sanskrit.

(swmiji they say that you are old fashioned)

let me finish what I am saying, in sansk. do eq. word for divorce. the reason in those days you were not infused or bombareded with fantatises. when you are infused with fantasies, you cant live hppily with anybody. even you get miss world or mr world, you cant live with them. tell them the reason. seee the whole Bharat, completel, if you read the survey report. only 1% of the population takes any depressino medicine or anything related to mind. you know in this country, I don’t have to tell you..you know ther stats. more than 50% are single paretns,. whts the reason - too muvch of fantasies.

(lack of acceptance that you are depressed in Bharat. they don’t accept it. but they accpet it here and take medicines.)

see let me be very clear, please understnad I work with villages of Bharat . I can be sure Bharat is atleast 10 times less deprressed than any other country. secondf thing, don’t say that mediciens are not available, today in the modern day, thru so many social organizationd and ngos medicines are almost available in almst every cvillage. don’t think that Bharat is not having medicines and educations. I am working in village. atleast 3000 villages have got direct represantations from our org. they all get atleast basic things. we cannot say there there are no medicines, Bharat is atleast 10% less depressed. I can be sure of that. if you don’t visit Bharat for last 20 yrs, than please visit once. you can be sure of what I say. and one more thing, 50% single parents, what about that? surely thts not the case in Bharat .

(in another 20 yrs may be)

because westernization is happening, fantasies are being infused.see I will tel you , let us not bother about what Bharat will become. let us see how we can safagaurd our kids. I am not here to analyze social things, I don’t know what will Bharat bcome after 20 yrs. let us see for the present. let us se how c how we can safeguard ourselvea and our next genrration.

tell them how because of fantasies aloneness how depressed people die. the idea of saptapadi, in Bharatn marriage system, you take the vow, either someone dies or you take sanyas there is no to her way to escape from marriage. There is no other way. thts the way of life. because there is no fantasies. Too much of fantasies will disturb you. Depress you.

see one more thing, we should have more time to sit with them, talk with them patiently, we should have more patience and intelligence both. we don’t do that and we expect that when we say once they should follow our command. that is simply impossible. you should take enough time to work with them. give them anything as a understanding don’t give them as a rule it will naturally break.

ok..now its time for the meditation.
