“Temples are supposed to be the place where the higher energy meets…”
Temples are supposed to be the place where the higher energy meets human beings. Please be very clear, I am not saying human beings meeting higher energy. Human beings can never meet higher energy. Only higher energies can meet human beings. Human beings can never meet the higher energy. Higher energies can shower on human beings. You can’t raise yourself, only they have to come down. Higher energies can come down and bless you. You can’t raise yourself to that level. Whoever tried to raise themself, they only become egoistic. They only become egoistic. Yesterday night I was talking to one of our devotee, I was telling her, “If you feel you have not achieved anything, be very clear you achieved a lot. If you feel you achieved a lot in spiritual life be very clear you have not even started.” Temples are the place where higher energies meet human beings; the best way, the best ways to fall in tune with the higher energy. You can’t raise yourself with their level. You can just fall in tune with that higher energy.
The technique to fall in tune with the higher energy is what I call meditation. When you meditate you don’t create anything you just fall in tune with the higher energy which is available to you always. When you meditate you say clear NO to your ego. Automatically you imbibe or you connect, you fall in tune with higher energy. You start experiencing the ultimate. This temple will be the place where you will be given the technology to relate with the higher energy also.
Three things for any achievement you need three things; laboratory, technology, a scientist who will use this two. In the modern world we have laboratory - temples, we have scientists - human beings. But we lost the technology to relate with the higher energy, to use the laboratory. This temple, this laboratory will be the place where people will be taught the technology also. You will receive the technology also to relate with the higher energy.
Scientist is a person who creates a formula to reproduce the same intellectual understanding which happened to him. Rishi is a person who creates a formula to reproduce the same spiritual experience which happened to him. The formulas created by rishis to experience what they experienced is what I call meditation techniques. The murti of Devi, the idol of Rajarajeshwari or the form of Rajarajeshwari is the expression or is the technology created by the great Rishi Markandeya. After his enlightenment he created the form which represents the technology to reach the same state in which he is living. You see the Devi, you can see she will be holding angusha in one hand, pasa in the other hand. Angusha means the power to handle the mind, not to control the mind. Be very clear, power to handle the mind. Controlling is something like a aggressive word, you are suppressing it. Handling is something if you want you handle it otherwise you put it out, put it. Angusha what she is holding in the right hand represents the power to handle the mind.
And pasa, this hand what she has got, it represents our control over all the energies or supremacy over all the energies. And the other hand she will be holding the flowers, that is thoughts, the sugar cane is mind. The different energies of your being when you are able to handle all of them, when all of them are under your control you become Devi, you become enlightened, you become the Rani of universe, queen of the universe. That is why we call her as Rajarajeshwari. She has not conquered others, she has conquered herself. She has gone beyond, she has gone beyond her mind and thoughts. She is able to handle her mind and emotions. It’s a philosophical representation from Markandeya rishi. Markandeya is the rishi who created the technology of Srividya and the form of Rajeswari. When you learn the technology you will be able to relate with the form, you will be able to relate with that god, you will be able to relate with that name.
Practicing that technology is what I call meditation. So this place will be the place where the technology also will be shared with every human being, where the technology also will be given to everybody. So I request to you all to learn the technology to relate with this higher energies and experience the eternal bliss. Let you all be in, become one with and radiate eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
Thank you.
Participant: Swamiji “How an individual can contribute for a world peace?”
SPH: Nice question. How an individual can contribute for the universal peace, world peace? First thing, stop the domestic violence. We always speak about the violence which is happening in the country all over the world. But we forgot an important thing the domestic violence. See, we continuously blame there are so many terrorists, so much of terrorist activities going on. What to do? What to do? What to do? Buddha is a expression of collective positive thoughts. Same way a terrorist also is an expression of collective negative thoughts. Each one of us contribute to the collective negativity. The thoughts are the negative waves which we create in our house. When you fight with your wife or husband, mother in law, father in law, these thoughts accumulate and it expresses itself naturally in a higher level. So according to Me the transformation has to start from the first step. It should start from the house. I give emph...I give more importance to domestic violence than violence in the country. One more thing violence in the country, even if you or Me talk about that we won’t be able to do anything directly.
Usually human beings are very happy about talking things in which directly they can’t do anything. 😊 Whole day you can see people sitting and talk, sitting in the tea shops and talking about weather. Can they do anything? No. they can’t do anything. They are very happy about talking something about which they can’t do anything. Talking about weather and talking about violence is one and the same; because both we can’t do directly anything. We can do something directly - that is we can stop domestic violence. we can stop the violence in the houses. So try to bring peace in your house. That’s the only way.
I personally believe the individual transformation is the only way for the universal peace. Just stop contributing negative thoughts. That’s enough. Peace is already there. We don’t have to create peace. Peace is the... peace is the nature of the nature. The nature of the nature is peace. It is we who are creating violence. Just stop creating violence, peace will, peace is already there. We don’t even have to create peace. Just stop being violent. Stop the negativity in the level of the house. That’s the best way to contribute to the universal peace.
Thank you.
Participant: Religious fanaticism is prevailing in the society, how to overcome this religious fanatics?
SPH: Religious fanaticism. 😊 See, when you start working towards achieving the state of Krishna, when you start towards achieving the state of Christ, you will not have fight. Instead of giving importance to philosophy, if you start giving importance to personality you will create problem. You will create trouble. The only way to come out of religious fanaticism is, start giving more importance to philosophy. Philosophy behind the masters, not the form itself. If you see the teachings of Krishana or the teachings of Christ - is one and the same. But when you start giving importance to personality you disturb and distort the teachings of the great masters. You disturb and distort the teachings of great masters. See, when you say my religion as big ...actually you wanted to say I am big, I am a big person. You can’t say that directly it will be too ugly, it will be too obvious. So we want something in between, so we say my religion is big. My language is big. My country is big. My region is big. Just we wanted to show our ego; you identify yourself with something and you start creating all troubles for yourself and for society. If we give importance to Gita there will not be any problem. The moment you start giving importance to the form Krishna you will start having all problems. All worship of forms should lead you to formlessness. All these things should be an inspiration to achieve the state of that enlightened being. When you start working towards the consciousness, experiencing the state of the enlightened being, I think the religious fanaticism will disappear from the planet earth. It’s a big job but we have to do. 😊
Thank you.
