“The very word is Sanskrit.”

I welcome you all with my love and respect. Before entering into today’s subject Power of Wisdom –Today’s subject is Power of Wisdom. Just few points to complete –y’days discourse and its like an introduction for all the people who has joined today. Yesterday’s subject was True knowledge –not only about true knowledge but the knowledge to find out the truth –only two things I want to add – two sutras two ideas I want to add today –first important thing truth is something which does not create fear, greed or guilt in you and the same way truth it is something which creates complete easiness with your inner-self and your day to day life –above all important thing it makes you conscious more and more aware it’s a by product bliss happens around you –you radiate ananda – yesterday I was telling you –we will see the scale, we will see how to find whether something is truthful or not –truth is not just speaking what you know as a fact no that’s only one dimension of truth –you can be truthful and dishonest – yesterday I was telling you a story how Dharmaraja was truthful but dishonest knowingly so speaking truth is only one dimension of truth –in tamil there are 3 words for truth –speaking is one thing –thinking or establishing is another thing –living the truth through your body is next thing. There are three levels of truth. All three put together only enriches your life, it leads to enlightenment. All your desires, greed or fear, guilt, let it be flooded with one idea; you will be established in truth. This is the scale to find out whether what you are thinking, saying, living are truth or not. Does it add more awareness to you –means consciousness –“chit”, does it make comfortable ease with yourself –“Sat”. Does it give you joy, bliss, unending without dependence without depending on something. So anything, which is sathya, Sath will create Chit and Ananda in you. Chit means consciousness, Ananda means bliss. There is something –Sath, Truth, when it is not creating consciousness and ananda in you means –be very clear, it is not the ultimate truth. It is not the reality. Same way, if something creates consciousness in you and it is not creating sath feeling –Ananda in you means, it is not creating consciousness –NO excitement. Today Morning one of our devotee was asking –of course he became my devotee –he was interviewing me. We had a radio show today morning. He was asking me –Swamiji I am seeing especially in the west many people receiving spirits and they become hysterical, shouting but the Upanishads describes when a person becomes spiritual, he is not supposed to become hysterical –what’s the truth Swamiji? Why it happened? Please understand, when you really receive higher consciousness or the divine spirits inside you, you will radiate ananda –bliss – you will become more and more peaceful. You will never get hysteric, if you are, then it is not super conscious energy, it is unconscious energy, but that is not enlightenment, it is not spirituality. Sat has to be chit –Chit has to be Ananda. If any one dimension is missing, it is not truth. Analyze all your desires. Does it add more and more honest feeling inside you? Does it add more and more awareness to your being? Does it make you more and more conscious and the world? Does it make you more and more blissful? Every thought that is what we call manna –Manan means filtering, clearing, contemplating every thought with truth –Flood your whole being with truth. Whatever is washed away, whatever disappears better for you? Better earlier they disappear from you. Whether you leave your job or relationship or love or home or your car or whatever you may leave, it is perfectly all right. You will expand, you may think, what swamiji? You are making us Swamis? NO –If really truth works on you and expands you –wherever you go you will feel only health, bliss and joy. One more thing, many time people come and ask me. Swamiji as you said, I was thinking, contemplating and I felt so high, so inspired and took some major decision in my life. Now I repent what to do? Now I am feeling I took too many big steps. I renounced too many things, Now I am feeling little lost. Now I am feeling I have done things little quickly. I should have waited. Understand. Even if you feel later on that you have done something in a hurried way, do not bother your steps. One more thing you are not able to keep yourself constantly on that high space of inspired energy, the inspired energy. It may come down –once in a while –that’s ok –do not count the moments of coming down –count the moments you experience when you are high. When you are in a high –spiritual conscious level, when you experience high___________that’s why in Jainism all Vedic traditions –anybody who feels inspired is allowed to take sanyas that very moment. All you need to do is inform your master or the traditional acharya you are ready for Sanyas. What is Power of Wisdom? I can say there is nothing, which can’t be achieved by Power of wisdom. Anything whether in this world or other world –Wisdom can simply make it happen. Only one thing you need to understand –you need to give little attention to the wisdom. Lakshmi and Saraswathi –they stay with you only when you give attention to them. Usually people always say that if you have money you may not have intelligence and if you have intelligence you will not have money because both of them demand your complete attention. If you give attention to lakshmi wealth you may not have enough energy or attention to give it to intelligence. If you give attention to intelligence you may not have enough time or you may not be even interested to maintaining all these wealth. An intelligent guy –a person of wisdom after his basic needs are fulfilled he will not be running behind. Somehow he will feel the emptiness of the wealth. See – Wealth is for some utility to achieve something like for basic needs like food, shelter, your needs of the medical care. Once you have enough money to buy whatever can be brought through money –after that if you are running –surely you are a fool - You are running to expand somebody’s ego. You are not running for yourself. You are running creating infrastructure which empowering somebody else’s ego. An intelligent person may not give attention as far as my experience goes better to give energy and attention to saraswathi than to lakshmi. If you give attention and energy to saraswathi – you will know how much of lakshmi you need and how much you can handle – how much you can enjoy and you will live in an intelligent way. Wisdom is such that you can bring anything in the inner world or in the outer world. I tell you many a time –just the understanding can transform in the way you think and act. Today Morning we had a radio show. The person who was hosting what changed your life and your first experience truth, inspiration and all that question what was the first inspiration when I look deeply, to tell you the truth as it is the biggest transformation which happened in my life is –the idea with me has changed in me because of my wisdom or knowledge. What ever I was thinking about me has changed. I tell you that’s the best thing that can happen to a human being. Whatever you think about you completely change. We are constantly working to change what others are thing about us – not what we think about us. That’s where the problems start. You are caught, you are busy, and your whole energy is spent in working on changing the ideas of other people about you. I tell you when you work on yourself –change the idea about yourself inside you. Suddenly so much of energy releases. So much of energy expression happens. By the end of the interview he was telling –Swamiji I have interviewed so many people, so many masters, many researches –so many people –I can feel some intense energy around you. After leaving the hall, he was asking. How can you explain this swamiji? Such an intense energy. The thing is I am very clear about what I know as me. All you need to do is looking at yourself and change your idea about you. Wisdom will give you clear idea about you. Power of wisdom first changes you. There are two views –materialistic guys constantly tell change the world your life will change. Spiritual people tell change your life your life will change. Nobody is successful in changing the world and changing their life- NO. But there are millions who are successful in changing the world and __________. You can’t cover the whole world with leather. Better wear shoes. Covering the whole world with leather is impossible. Wear shoes that is the best thing. Lets enter into the teachings of Mahavira so that we can understand the power of wisdom. Today we will be entering into a sutra called Chathurangi Sutra and Brahmacharya sutra. We will be working on Chathurangi and Brahmacharya sutra. Let me ready few words from the original sutra. Yesterday somebody wrote a letter to me. Swamiji we are not able to understand the original sutra –better you read only the translation. Not only you I also don’t understand the original sutra because I don’t know the language –this language –its not Sanskrit. It’s a different version of Sanskrit, which was used for speaking in those days –so not only you, I also don’t understand but masters words they have their own sanctity. Even if you don’t understand, just listen. The word, which came out of Mahavira naturally, will carry his presence. The words, they very sounds that came out of Mahavira’s vak- vak means the energy, which converts the air into, sound. See when the air travels _________vak. You call it as vocal cord. Its only air, from there some thing happens and that becomes the sound. So any sound comes out of an enlightened vocal cord, enlightened vak energy his mantra, that’s the reason, reciting those words, so even if you don’t understand its ok our respect to Mahaveera that we should remember those same words. We should hear those same words. We should hear those same words, and then we will see the translation. Will read the translation also but first it is our respect to him the great master Mahavira that we repeat the same words which came out of his vak energy. His words ----Sanskrit mantra” “

The very word is Sanskrit. Please understand in the eastern tradition –language is not only used to convey the ideas it is used to create certain kind of vibrations also. It is not only linguistic phonetic importance is also added to language. May be when I find time I will try to explain how the letters in Sanskrit beautifully carved and designed. If we start talking, we will not have the time for ________. If tongue moves, first level of Aksharas side & side, second level of aksharas if you see your tongue moment अ आ इ ई उ ऊ - all the Sanskrit aksharas, letters it just a beautiful dance and its like cleaning your prana flow. The person who chants some mantras at least 10 minutes everyday morning will never have gas problem –understand it is my experience. If you have any gas problem or any difficulty related to breathing, prana flow, asthma or any thing just chant some mantras, some enlightened masters words, you may not understand, just chant those words which is in Sanskrit, the traditional language –just chant for 10 minutes. You may thing how can creating some sound for 10 minutes will heal swamiji, you don’t know the power of these sounds. They come from the hara means your very root and completely heal the whole path in which the prana flows. The whole path in which the prana flows. The whole prana energy is clean, thats I never miss the original sutras, even if you don’t understand, many times I have seen people are closed to something which they don’t directly understand. In Gita books also I have seen people they just move the page where the Sanskrit shlokas are printed they just jump and go to the next page, they think why should I unnecessarily touch these things. NO just try, try to experience that sound. You don’t even have to understand. Just experience that sound. It can do miracles in your being. Lets enter into the translation, Its indeed difficult for anyone in this world to achieve these 4 things, human body, manushyatva, listening to dharma, dharma sharana, devotion and progress towards the spiritual experience, enlightenment. Here the word is translated into restraint but I tell you that word is that word means going towards higher energy – higher consciousness – beautiful sutra –while walking on planet earth through different forms, when the pressure exerted by simple karma becomes, then the soul attains purity and eligible for human birth. Only one who is capable of listening to pure dharma. You may think what is meant by listening to pure dharma, don’t think –listening to pure dharma is such a pure quality, simple quality NO –even if you are sitting here, there can be 1000s of obstacles inside your mind, it is not really easy to open to the real dharma. People come up with all types of dharma. People come up with all types of weird excuses to escape from dharma. I have sent many people -He is so young –what he can teach, that’s the big problem what to do? In the spiritual field always age is a big problem. The Vedic tradition age is not required to achieve entitlement – see two things – Anubhava and Anubhooti. In Sanskrit we have two words for experience in English we don’t have for two words, because they do not know about anubhooti –that’s why no word exists. Anubhava, Anubhooti. Anubhava means experience by so many incidents in your life. Anubhooti means experience of enlightenment –let me explain this. Anubhava and Anubhooti then you will understand about the pure dharma and how we are escaping from pure dharma. Anubhava means going through many experiences, like first you touch matchbox fire, and then you understand this fire will burn. Then you touch the cigar fire –oh this fire also burns, you touch all kinds and all varieties of fire and understand that all these fires are going to burn me. By the time you come to the conclusion that all the fire will burn by touching and touching and touching and experiencing, your body wily be ready to be burnt. You will become old enough to be burnt. This is called Anubhava means adding more and more experiences and doing big analyses and coming to the conclusions. Anubhooti means first time you touch one fire and realize and experience the truth all fire will burn, all fire will burn –just one experience is enough to give you the truth. This is called Anubhooti. See Anubhava means number of incidents which happens in your life Anubhooti means number of lessons you learn from the incidents in your life. There is a big difference. For outer world you need anubhava. Inner world you need anubhooti. There is big difference between anubhava and anubhooti –enlightenment and there is another one category, which is beyond anubhava and anubhooti. They don’t even touch the fire. They see somebody else touching the fire and will realize fire will burn –they are called paramahamsa –they don’t even go through one experience –they just see what others go through and escape. I have to give another one example – you can see in your life you always postpone life. The person who constantly postpones the joy and bliss, he waits he will have anubhava and enjoy. The person who tries and lives the life, he starts expressing anubhooti, person. Person who sees others and learns the lesson without even going through uses the knowledge of others research and development. He is Paramahamsa. Spiritual enlightenment does not need anubhava. It needs anubhooti. Many times when we don’t want to listen to the higher truths, we create all kinds of confusion difficulties for ourselves. Mind is so cunning. Whenever you cannot practice some truths, you just _________as if you are practicing _________, forget about it. All are like us only, you can’t come out of your hypocrisies, you feel comfortable thinking and believing that everyone is hypocritical. When we can’t come out of hypocrisy – when we cannot raise ourselves to higher spaces/consciousness, we feel comfortable-_____others to have a space that why our mind creates enough of difficulty to listen to the higher truth. Only the one who is capable of listening to pure dharma means person who is ready to transform. Person who is not ready to transform, he will find 1000 reason not to sit here or not to listen. He will find 1000 reason and you can always find reason – its not a big thing, you will find 1000s of reason only the one who is capable of listening to the pure dharma and find trust in it understand –do not take yourself or granted –Many times I have seen people come and sit and listen all these things –end of the discourse –they come and tell me. Swamiji I am listening to so many things –I really trust but I don’t know how to become enlightened. I tell hem first thing celebrate you have taken such wonderful steps. First thing you are sitting here – Second thing you are feeling connected –that’s the reason you are continuing to sit –third thing –you are trying to work towards this. You are trust it, celebrate all the achievements which you did, then we can find time later on to repent what we have not achieved. Do not take yourself for granted – Celebrate that you being here and feeling connected and having trust in this great word –you have done great thing. According to Mahavira, now you need to take only one step through right conduct –releasing the baggage of karma attains the higher consciousness –understand the last step you don’t even have to struggle, just sit and listen intensely and let these words to be allowed to work on you. You will see you are doing it. Just one example. If I am talking about fasting and clearly explain not to eat tonight and if it goes straight and touches your heart, you think you will be able to go and eat. NO you won’t –simply you will see you will not even have an idea of eating. Only one thing –allowing these words to penetrate you – you don’t even have to bother –you don’t even have to plan how to practice. If you are sitting here and planning how to practice, you will miss the words, which I am uttering –so don’t plan, allow them first to go into your being –let them work on you and find its own way. They are capable enough to show you the way to express themselves in your life. I always tell people whenever you listen the great truths, don’t plan, how you will go back to house and start practicing it. NO, if you practice, if you plan, you will be a failure. Just listen, let these words go into your being, let them work on you, they will find their own way to express themselves in you through your system because they are very powerful. Understand they are very powerful. They are not simple as you think. They are so powerful and simply they will work on you. They have their own independent intelligence. Masters words have got independent intelligence. They work on their own –Let us start the sutras word by word.

It is indeed very difficult for anyone in this world to achieve 4 things. Almost all the great masters are telling you have achieved difficult things Manushyatva. Same way Shankara is also telling Manushyatva, Mahapurusha ___________achieving human body and seeking for enlightenment and the satsanga means the nearness of the enlightened being very difficult. Here Mahavir is saying, human body is very difficult for anyone in this world to achieve because only from human body one can experience enlightenment. Understand human body is like a runway where you want to take-off or land. You have to take only human body. You can’t blame enlightened from Devata Sharira, Sharira of angels or you can’t become enlightened from body of animals NO they don’t have the possibility. Only from here from Human one can go to hell or heaven. You have choice only in Human body. Other bodies don’t have choice. They go through a clear program. They may have little freedom but all the senses and the mind has got freedom only in human body. Understand in other animals they may have freedom in one sense or two sense, they will not have complete means the choice to choose the human body all your 5 senses and your mind all this they have freedom –you have choice – you can choose, you can select, what next what next you have complete freedom to choose only in human body –possibility for enlightenment exists that’s why I always tell people its so difficult to achieve this body –do not waste behind the currencies which has no value –any currency is a promise by politician, by the person who is ruling that country –any currency and for currency to fulfill your basic need us wonderful – nothing wrong but even after having that, running behind the same thing –wasting your life. See if you are running behind the same thing without working towards the enlightenment or the higher conscious /space, you will be wasting such wonderful choice, such wonderful of having a human body and not achieving the ultimate can be achieved through the body. Its like you have got a new diamond, a big diamond and you use it for a table weight. You are laughing but you don’t understand you are doing the same thing. See the possibility for the enlightenment. The human body means possibility for the enlightenment. The mechanism you can experience liberation once for all. This availability –beautiful, currency OK! To buy a home to protect the body and to give medical care Ok but after that thing work towards the ultimate conscious achievement, do not waste your life by running behind the foolish promises given to you by the so called people who are ruling the country. Understand they are empty promises. Currency you can’t tell it on promissory note. Promissory note till you fulfill your basic needs. After that its empty promissory note. There is no utility directly. After that its time for you to work towards Vanaprastha. In Sanskrit that’s why we have four words. Brahmacharya, Grihastha, Vanaprastha, Sanyasa. Brahmacharya is an age – you learn vidhya avidhya both. Vidhya means education for enlightenment and education for creating an infrastructure for your comfort, wealth and next 25 years Grihastha, you leave and create the infrastructure for your safe, comfortable and secure life, the next immediately you start vanaprastha. Vanaprastha means working towards conscious development, enlightenment because the great possibility is there open available for you and sanyasa is achieving and radiating enlightenment. Anybody who has achieved the basic need, its time for your understanding, it is very difficult for any one in this world to achieve this Dharma –Understand –the secured feeling which you experience by having wealth is too poor substitute for enlightenment. Its too small substitute for enlightenment and the possibility exists only in human body, no other animal, no other devathas, no other gandharvas, no other creatures can even think of enlightenment. One more thing, possibility for hell also exists only in human body. Only from human body you can take any route. Its like whether to hell or heaven or enlightenment, Only from here you can choose. Listening to Dharma no buffalo can go for spiritual discourses. It can’t –It can’t understand. It doesn’t have that suffering which derives it towards enlightenment. Understand human beings are blessed that they can experience suffering consciously. Animals may have but they do not have consciousness, they are not conscious about it because they do not have choice, they do not know that they have choice – they have only instincts but they do not have conscious choice, human being they know the can escape from suffering. The greatest thing in human body is you can transform all the emotion. The possibility for transformation exists only in human body. Understand take a moment and look into your body and thank that you have possibility. You have possibility. In this whole cosmos millions of creatures millions of types of creatures are there but only you have the possibility for the freedom from the birth and death cycle –Manushyatva. Manushya is only having the possibility. Celebrate your possibility. Celebrate that only you have the possibility towards that higher experiences. The higher goal conscious enlightenment. Not only Mahavira, Buddha, Shankar, all the masters are emphasizing again and again, repeating again and again, they are explaining only human beings can achieve the enlightenment. Just to tell you that you have a possibility. Do not waste it. Do not miss it. Listening to Dharma, As I was telling you, Think of going to the higher space, higher conscious level. They can’t think on the same way. They cannot work for it. They cannot achieve it, only you can listen to it. Vedic system again and again emphasizes –If you want enlightenment, you have to take the human body. Even devathas have to come down and take the human body to achieve enlightenment. You now need to understand few things –few secrets about birth and death. Laws of life, the laws with which the life or universe is functioning. It is you who decides your birth. Before taking birth , you sit and all the engraved memories, the sanskaras are in front of you. Somebody asked the question what do you exactly mean by sanskaras? Sanskaras means the experiences which you gain through all five senses and through your mind. Understand what you see, what you listen, what you smell, what you taste and what you experience through touch and the mind which develops it. For eg. You might not have seen an elephant with 4-5 trunks but you can visualize and develop it through your mind. That is also sanskara. What ever you receive through these five senses and what ever you develop based on that material through your mind is called sanskara. In front of you all the sanskaras, engrams which occurred will be there before your and you decide what kind of engrams, you want to experience, go through. For why you decide I also don’t know. Why you decide I don’t know. You decide. What kinds of engrams you want to leave and what kind of engrams you want to go through and what kind of engrams will give you fulfillment and you choose your body according to that. According to that desires, you choose your body. Understand if have taken the human body , at one corner of your mind, consciously or unconsciously you had the deep desire for liberation, otherwise you will not choose the human body because with human body there is so much of suffering and awareness about suffering, other bodies do not have so much suffering, even if they have they are not even aware of so much suffering. Only in human body you need to go to office – you have so many responsibilities, commitments. So many things not only that, you are aware of the sufferings which is happening in the world. Animals are fortunate. They don’t have to watch the news. They don’t have to bother about brother animals being slaughtered. They don’t have to suffer thinking of other animals being killed. They don’t have to suffer the cruelty and negligence which other creatures are going through. No but with a human body, you have a possibility. You have a sensibility to suffer for other creatures. Other beings, Understand human body there is a possibility for more suffering, even then knowingly you have chosen human body means you must have had desires you must have though about possibility of enlightenment. Let me be very frank and I tell you from my experience any body who has human body at one corner of their mind –they had desire for enlightenment otherwise especially this current situation I know the market trend in the other world I know how many people are taking human birth. How many souls are choosing human body and why they are choosing –what kind of news is there –about human body, before taking human body, they have a set up data available for you, plus/minus things and I tell you anybody atleast last 30-40 years one who choose human body they choose human body only because of possibility of enlightenment because already there is a report there that human existence has become worst – worst possible existence because of the so called wars and all the traumas which are going on in the planet earth.. Human existence is filled with suffering, filled with pain but even then if you are taking human body means – you must have had the inspiration or search for enlightenment and there is no other reason why you chose human body because I saw all the records –why people are choosing human body. Why these souls are taking human body because planet earth is not livable any more. To tell you honestly it is not livable any more – Now you think we don’t have choice that is why we took birth , it is an accident. NO there are life. There is life in other planets also and millions of possibilities are there. But you chose human body, human existence, after seeing all these choices, just because possibility of enlightenment. Please be very clear and never think there is no other kind of life exist in other planet, No there is life, that is what we call Devathas, Gandharvas, Siddha, Munis, different kinds of life exist but you chose human body just for enlightenment and do not miss the purpose. Do not miss the ideal. Do not miss the truth for which you have taken this body. Feel again and again connected to this truth and create more and more inspiration, enthusiasm, energy towards this goal. Put your energy more and more intensely. Put your parts, emotion, energy again and again towards this one idea. People ask me Swamiji everyday I am doing meditation. Is that not enough? I tell them NO –do it more intensely, put more energy. Put more awareness. Be more conscious. Do not make it as ritual. Everyday let you feel as if this is the last meditation session. You are going to do it as if it is the last day and naturally you will put your whole life. Be very clear, Do it as it is your last day of your life. Put your whole energy. Let it be intense, alive, deep. Every step, put your whole being.

Mahavira says, create devotion and creating intense enthusiasm and energy towards the truth. While walking on planet earth, through different forms. When pressure exerted by simple karmas vanes then the soul attains purity and becomes eligible for human birth. Understand you may walk on planet earth through different forms and whatever karmas you have, only after it goes away, after you exhaust them, you are ready to have human body because human body is the most sophisticated system. It is the totality of best things from all other forms. Whatever intelligence , the best things are available in all other bodies. Everything is including and presented to you. Understand Patanjali goes one step further and says all the best things of the animals, swimming , flying, everything , all possibilities are added and put in one form of human body is created. You may ask then why we are not able to fly because you never trusted yourself that it is possible. Let me be very frank. I have seen that with my own eyes. A person who has achieved perfection in that Yoga science and was able to levitate from the ground. His name is Raghupathi Yogi. I myself have seen with my own eyes and I can really vouch for Patanjali’s words. It is possible by humanbeings. Somehow I did not put my energy in that line. I was more interested in enlightenment than all these powers and the person who achieved these powers, he was so honest that is the greatness of him. That person, even though he had so many powers, after exhibiting all those things to me, I had the fortune to live along with him for 10 years. He exhibited all those things, inspired me but told me in the end, My Son, I have not achieved the ultimate thing and still struggling. Don’t put your energy too much to achieve all these powers. I showed all these things to inspire you but do not waste your time in these extraordinary powers. Achieve the best thing which can be achieved through human body. Now I am telling you about all these possibilities just to tell you that human body is the best system, the most sophisticated system. All intelligent things, All great power is available in this system. I myself have seen a person who lived at least 10 years without food or water. One great Siddha Narayanaswamy. Even now he is alive. He was living in my hometown more than 5 years. I had the opportunity to be around him. Never ate or drank anything. The possibilities to get energy directly from the sun rays. See what plants do, you can also do. What birds do can happen to your body. The possibility exists. You need to remind yourself. You need to remind your system about the possibility. I am telling all these things to inspire and to give you the courage that the possibility exists. I tell you the same way the possibility for enlightenment exists in you. Remind yourself. Remind your senses, Remind your system, You can radiate enlightenment. Reminding your system that you can radiate enlightenment is what I call meditation. Tapas – Just reminding you. Reminding your own self. As of now only your mind knows you can become enlightened. It should sink in you. Your blood, your bones, your muscles, your whole being, every whole should know that you –radiate enlightenment , that is what I call seeking. Seeking will completely purify your being. When your whole being knows, you can radiate. Teaching your being you can radiate is what I call Tapas –Meditation. When your whole being knows you can radiate, you simply start radiating that’s all. You simply start radiating. Only one who is capable of listening to pure dharma and finds trust in it and through right contact releases baggages of karma and attains the higher consciousness. One more thing, he says only one who is capable of listening to pure dharma and finds trust in it means feeling connected to it. If you are sitting and if you are able to listen everything without prejudice and if you are feeling really connected to what ever words I am saying. If you feel what this guy is talking makes sense, it sounds great, If you think you are able to connect with it. If you feel that then 66% of work is done. Because Mahavira says 3 things. Capable of listening to pure dharma, finding trust in it and expressing through right contact. In this you already feel different too –66% work is over and other 33% you don’t even have to do. Just maintain that feeling connection. Feeling connected to these teachings, Simply these words will work in. Feeling connected is the bridge. Feeling connected is like a bridge. One side enlightened being and other side human being is ready for enlightenment and feeling connected is the bridge. Here Mahavira says one who is capable of listening to pure dharma means the seeker is one side finding trust in it –feeling connected that is the bridge and naturally the other side the enlightened being, his energy passes through the bridge to your being and works on you. Listening to the truth and feeling connected. Many times people clap their hands during the lecture. If they feel what they think is expressed by the speaker –If they listen exactly what they want to listen, they feel like clapping. They acknowledge to the speaker that is what they exactly to listen. They feel connected when the speaker is expressing. So now if you are capable of listening to pure dharma means understand the capacity to listening to pure dharma does not mean only having ears, only not being deaf NO being here without prejudice. Without prejudice. There are many prejudices which can come. So many kinds of prejudices. Possibility is there and without prejudices and if you fell connected to what ever you are listening 66% work is done and the last thing naturally through right contact, releases the baggage of karma. Please understand when you start living, this great truth. In Sanskrit we have a word Nivrutti. Pravrutti and Nivrutti. Pravrutti means acquiring more and more karma. Nivrutti means going towards un-clutched space. If you just listen to the truth and go to the space of un-clutchness, the sure space is called Nivrutti. The very listening and feeling connected is more than enough to lead you towards Nivrutti. Let you feel deeply connected with this words. Let this words work on you and give you the strong experience of the ultimate. There are so many people asking to give some meditation. Surely tomorrow we will do that tomorrow and day after tomorrow, we have more time because in the evenings it will become too late. If we go for meditation in the _____may be tomorrow and day after tomorrow we will have real sutras. Usually first 3-4 days I prepare the people. I do not talk complete truth because 100% pure truth is too much for human beings and there is every possibility they will run away. First day I did not speak on Mahavira because I was afraid everybody will run away and I know Mahavira is a pure diamond. Mahavira is a dynamic diamond. Anything except diamond will become just ashes, reduce to ashes. So if you really let Mahavira to work on you, anything inside you except Mahavira, the Mahavira consciousness will become ashes. If there is a big stone, little portion is diamond and other things are carbon covering the stone. Covering the diamond you bring a dynamic towards the stone. Except the diamond portion everything else will be taken away and will become ashes. Diamond is used to cut the diamond so that no raw diamond uncut, there will be portion covering the ordinary stone, so if you bring the dynamic diamond towards that uncut diamond, the uncut diamond will be cut and it will be purified. All the other portions except diamond will be removed and become ashes and will disappear. Same way in your being also there is a spark of Mahavira consciousness and there is so much of dust, carbon around this and if you bring the dynamic diamond, Mahavira towards your inner space, everything except Mahavira consciousness will be taken away and will become ashes, will be reduced to ashes and it will too much . So I always wait and spend two days so that you will sit and listen. Then I can start the truth. So let us start the truth tomorrow and day after tomorrow and start meditation also tomorrow and day after tomorrow. There are just two questions I will answer. Why is divorce not allowed in Vedic marriage. Because our masters understood constantly changing the outer man or woman is not going to help. Why is divorce not allowed In vedic system? We don’t have divorce. You take vow in front of agni saying that till death these vows will be practiced. You don’t say till I divorce NO and the vedic system witness for all the vows is the life energy and cosmic consciousness not any lawyer or any priest NO the fire and the cosmic energy is the witness –so there you don’t have –we don’t have equivalent word for divorce only in later Sanskrit, equivalent word for divorce is created. In the traditional system the words for divorce, we don’t have and are more important thing, our masters are very clear, by changing the outer man or woman, the problems is not going to be solved first of all, all marriages are fail. Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. When I read that book, I felt that it was too close. Mars and Venus are too close and may be men are from Mars of some other solar family and woman are from Venus from some other solar family. So I don’t think from same solar family. All marriages are failure. They understood the truth all marriages are failures. If you tell people directly it is very difficult to understand that before going through the suffering. Whatever is said and done, suffering is the best teacher. I tell you really. I can give so many experiences. These young guys especially in the west, there NRI youngsters they were brought to me by their parents. Usually these guys don’t want to come to these swamis and all these spiritual gurus etc. till they are married. Their parents will force them and bring them to me. Hey come and take blessings of swamiji. They will come and the parents will do sashtang namaskar. Usually I bless them – These guys will be standing and hai ! how are you? I also tell them Hi! How are you? And I don’t have problems and I don’t expect them to do namaskar and they will talk in a way as if they know the life and traditional life, Sanyas and spirituality and all these things are only for tools, old people like their parents who don’t have intelligence, that’s the way they try to talk to me and they say hi how are you? Alright its OK. I just think in my mind, Let you people get married. Nothing just one year after the marriage –The guys when he comes, he will know how to do namaskar and straight away falls and not only that now he knows how to say yes. I tell you really –10 years of my training is equal to one year of married life. What I can’t do with people –If I work with them for 10 years. One year is enough. That guy will be completely in tune and nothing can teach like suffering. Other day I was reading a beautiful one liner survey –statistics –say Married people live longer. But what to do they only want to die quicker, dying quicker is much better than wanting to die. Anyhow, masters know all, marriage is a failure. Some intelligent guys who understand it before going through they are called Paramahamsa and people who wants to go through and understand by experience – they go through the grihastha dharma and take sanyas or whatever it is. Anyway usually if you change constantly again and again you will never realize, changing the outer woman or outer man is not going to help. Only changing your ideas is going to help. That is why our masters want to stop the outer possibility of changing the possibility of changes in the outer world and they want to tell you do not waste your time – enough –try once –when you find it is not working – now its time –turn towards inside –that is why our masters do not want – and if you can’t cope up with one person. How do you think you are going to live by changing the other person because you are going to carry the same mind. Changing the inside is more important –that’s why in our tradition we do not have the very concept “divorce. Swamiji do any scripture say anything about Sati?. The woman committing suicide as far as I know there is no strong scripture like Upanishad or Shrutis having any reference about Sati and they do not talk about sati and I do not know about the minor scripture like the smrutis have got any reference. Smrutis are more like the movies of these times. Understand these two different things, its not all the moves produced in holiwood or boliwood represent the society’s structure. There can be some fantasies of the producer added into it. Smrutis and puranas are more like the movies, created in those days. So you can’t think you can’t say they represent enlightenment or enlightened wisdom or the truths of those days society, so we can’t take puranas or smrutis as a standard scripture, only shruti Upanishad can be taken as a standard book and from them I don’t see any referene. There was one another question which yesterday somebody wrote and gave –Going and listening to another religious masters or other traditional masters –that is a very important question. We need to analyse –See in those days –may be some reason they would have created that idea but it is time that we update ourself. There were two enlightened masters living at the time same time. Both of them had so much of reverence and respect for each other but they always tell their disciples not to go to the other master. One disciple asked him, Bhagwan you don’t even put your feet in the direction where he is staying. You have so much respect for him but you say not to go to him or listen to him why? Maser says Fool! Whenever I work on you, when you feel pain during the operation you will try to escape and go away to him and when he works on you, when he does some operation on you, you try to escape from there and come here. You will not allow the operation to be completed neither by him nor by him. You will escape from both the masters. That is the reason, I tell you not to go there. In those days, may be for that reason they would have told at some point, do not listen to other religious masters but now I feel it is time to update some of these beliefs. I fell now you are intelligent enough to learn what is right and what is wrong and you are intelligent enough , I am very sure that you don’t take all the ideas which I am giving to you. While I am clearly sitting and speaking. Please be very clear, I do not trust you listen to me and I am speaking that is different and I don’t have a trust, you may trust me but I don’t trust you. Let me be very clear. Its time but you are intelligent enough to learn what ever you want to learn from me. See you can go around and pick up best flowers and make a beautiful bouquet nothing wrong, nothing wrong. Its time to update yourself. So I always tell people, Learn best things from all possible sources –Pluck flowers from all the gardens, make a beautiful bouquet and make a garland for yourself. One more thing. In Modern days also, I see some of the masters constantly advising people don’t go there, don’t go there. These guys don’t understand people are very intelligent. They are still thinking people are fools. They are going to listen to them and not go to the other masters. There are only two possibilities If I tell you, don’t go. Either you will listen to my words and not go or you will just go and see what is going on there. If you really feel connected so much to me even with out telling you will not go anywhere. If you really want to go and search even if I tell you don’t go, you will go. Understand, If you completely feel connected through the heart, even if I give you the freedom to go, you will not feel like going and If you are really not feeling satisfied even If I tell you don’t go, you will be going, so this ‘don’t go’ word has no use, in modern days. I think its time that we update ourself. We must remove this idea of not listening to other traditions and not appreciating the great things from all traditions. Its time that we learn best things from all sources and enrich our life. Let you all learn, learn and learn . One more thing your ego is such, it will not die even if it is attracted from so many corners, from so many sides, so how do you think, it will die just by 1% teaching. So learn. Nothing wrong. Let you learn and experience and radiate eternal bliss. Nithananda –Thank you.
