“Without doing meditation, if you feel what the truth they have said in…”

Without doing meditation, if you feel what the truth they have said in the life, consciously, you are liberated; but, unconscious times when the emotions start erupting, your conscious mind will not be under your control. For that you need meditation. You see, as long as you are balanced, all this logic will work out. The moment you are imbalanced, when it comes to you directly, you feel imbalanced. That time meditation only will give you power, the energy to be balanced even at that moment. If you are balanced even at that moment you are liberated. That’s all.

Q. Gita says samatwa means a yoga. So is a glimpse of what you are saying, is it the same as an understanding to treat everything as same?

If you have that glimpse you will experience samatwa in totally different way, not as you understand now samatwa. The very understanding of samatwa will change. Now whatever you understand samatwa is wrong. I tell you, whatever you understand is wrong. You may say, ‘What is this Swamiji, you don’t even know what understanding I have. How can you say it is wrong?’ I know for sure the more you meditate the more you get the more clear experience, understanding. Whatever you understand now as samatwa is only dictionary meaning. When you meditate you will have existential meaning. There is two different things: existential meaning and different, dictionary meaning.

A small story:

One lady was trying to wear her new fur coat and see how beautiful she looks with that fur coat standing in front of a mirror. And the small girl, her daughter, she was telling, ‘Mom, you don’t even have any sensitivity, mom. That poor, dumb animal, how much he had to suffer for you to have this coat.’ Suddenly this lady turned and told, ‘How dare you will talk about your father like this!’

You see dictionary meaning is different, and existential meaning is different. If you understood the joke you can understand. Dictionary meaning is different. Existential meaning is different. So understand now you know only dictionary meaning. If you meditate only then you will understand existential meaning of what Krishna says samatwa. Okay? Even the word ‘sex’ when I uttered, what you understand is only dictionary meaning, only when you meditate you will have the existential meaning.
