“Same thing these so-called ‘how to’ books guys are doing.”

Same thing these so-called ‘how to’ books guys are doing. This same thing only will happen if you read these anger management control books, anger management books or these creative visualization books. All these guys who are teaching you to use your mind to go beyond your emotions. Understand, emotions are powerful than your mind. Emotions are automatic visualizations. How can they be conquered by the created visualizations? No, even if you try to conquer you can nullify it but you can't go beyond.

People think your sins will be equated by your merit. No. No. In the truth, your sins will not be equated by merits. Merits you may have the more comfort or pleasure but you have to go through both. Don't think this will nullify that and you will tell God, “Accounts is over. Now relax me.” No! If you have done something to suffer ten years of depression and ten years of joy, that is what is hell and heaven. Don't think they are somewhere geographical. No. They are just psychological. You have to go through both. Don't think, “Ten years of Punya I did and ten years of Papa is there. Oh God! Please you make both clear and I don't want to go through both.” No, you can't say. You can't tell that. You have to go through both.

With creative visualization or this kind of creating more and more samskaras, the techniques which makes you create more and more samskaras, they are called Pravritti. Understand, pravritti samskaras will create only more and more difficulties and problems. Dangerous. Do not go for that kind of techniques or teachings, any of these kinds of things. See, whether you are trying to create positive or negative, love or hatred, for or against, the other person is center. The other is center. Here Shiva is telling, “No, turn to the source.” Turn to the source. Let your being be center. Go to the source from where the anger is arising, anger is rising. This is called Nivritti.

Understand, if you go and try to practice the solutions which are given by unenlightened beings, you may have little bit of result immediately. You may have. For example, instead of when you are feeling angry towards somebody, if you try, “No, no, no, let me feel compassion,” for ten minutes okay but you will pour, you will vomit that anger on somebody else. Because you have not learnt how to turn away from the very out, very other. Still the aim is the outside. If you practice instead of anger the compassion, even then the other is, other exists. The other is hell. Other is hell. As long as the other exists, your energy is towards the other, you can't do anything about it. You can't do anything about it. You can't solve it. You can't dissolve it. For few minutes you may feel good.

All this so-called books, so many things. I Am not talking just about this creative visualization. There are so many thousands of nonsensical terms. I Am not able to remember so many. Super deluxe kundalini. I can't even understand those words. Oh God, Patanjali disappeared. Good. He is not in the body at least. Otherwise, I don’t know how many people he would have sued. What all the names! So many different kinds of packaging and losing the essence. Understand, these so-called authors, people who are trying to give you the ‘how to’ solutions, this immediate solutions or this personality development, self development, this-that, all this packaging, they can't replace the solutions of an Enlightened Master. There is a big difference.

Even if it takes little time, go only towards the Enlightened Masters. Drink from the right source or keep quiet. At least you will not get diseases. If you drink from the wrong sources, you will create more complications, more difficulties, more diseases because these temporary solutions may create some confidence for you on those guys, on those authors, you are caught in the net. Over!... The moment you get the confidence, over, gone. Those words will.... It is a big difficulty which I Am facing to remove those cobwebs, the words which you collected from all these so-called books. If somebody comes to Me without any of this professional seeking nonsense, or this so-called knowledge of this self development and personality development all these rubbish books, it is easy for Me to help him. It is easy for him to fall in tune with Me and with these great masters’ words, straightaway you will learn.

A small story:

One guy goes to a music master and he asks, “Master, I learnt music for last four years from books and so many other teachers. How many years you will take for me to teach?

Master said, “Eight years I will take.”

One more guy came. He asked, “I learnt two years from books and other masters. Other teachers not masters, teachers. How long you will take for me to teach?”

“Six years I will take.”

The other guy came. “I have not learnt anything. I am fresh. How many years you will take?”

“Four years is enough!”

Because master says, “Four years is enough for me to completely make you master but I have to undo whatever you have learnt.” The undoing is a big process, big work. Here, see the big difference between these so-called personality development authors because you see, we can't blame them because they have not seen a space where mind does not exist. All they have seen is only the diseased fellows. Sigmund Freud never had a specimen like a Buddha. He was working with all sick fellows. And he put all the sick fellows as a normal scale. He was not working with a single Enlightened Being. So he doesn't know what is normal. That is why, in the end of his thirty-forty years of work, he is telling man as such can’t be cured and for that we don't need you…. To tell this, we don't need you. Because he never worked with the Buddha. He doesn't know the possibility. He doesn't know the dimension of a Buddha, living without a mind.

Only a person who has achieved that state can tell this great word- Let you be centered on you. Let you go to the source of the emotion from where it arised, it came. Whether you are suppressing or expressing, the other becomes important. Understand one more thing. There are some people who are teaching you: don't express the anger, express compassion. Visualize love and compassion. Again the other person is the center. Some people teaching don't express anger or compassion. Just suppress, control. Again in your inner world, you will be remembering the other person because suppression means the other is there.

Here, Shiva is not teaching you to show compassion or he is not teaching you to suppress. He is just teaching you, just turn the whole direction. Attend the anger, handle the anger as an energy. Don't bother about the reason or the person. Neither bother about the reason or the goal towards which it is arising, it is rising, it is coming out. Drop both and just turn towards the energy. Handle the anger as an energy, not as an emotion, not just as an emotion. If you handle it as a emotion, you will try to correct the reason and try to change it as a compassion. No. If you try to handle from the angle of the person, you will try to suppress without pouring on him.

Again the difficulty. No, neither reason nor person. He is asking you to handle the emotion as an energy, anger as an energy. Go to the source from where that energy came out. Suddenly you will see you are centered and you are not moved by any of these emotions. You are not moved any of these thoughts. You are not moved any of these Samskaras, engraved memories. First thing and last thing which you need to remember is, other should not have any place in your inner space. Relax from other. Relax, unclutch from other. Understand, whether it is a mood for someone or against someone, your so-called love or so-called anger... One more thing, even your love is not worthy of expression, understand. People ask Me, “Swamiji, should I not express my love also?” Be very clear, your love is not so worthy. Just turn towards the source. You will radiate love without even remembering or thinking that you are having love.

If you think you have love, be very clear it is not love. Love or compassion or enlightenment will happen. You will not even be aware that you have love. Innocent means you will not even be aware you are innocent. The fellows who are thinking that they are innocent are the most crooked guys. No really. They will be the most cunning. I always tell people, when you become enlightened you will not even remember you are enlightened or not. You will not even have an idea you are enlightened or not. You will not have doubt whether you are enlightened or not. Same way, you will not have the idea you are enlightened or not. You will just be. The fellows who are thinking I am loving, I am radiating love, I am radiating compassion, they will have plastic smile, ugly, dirty, dash dash… no really, and I have seen these so-called service-oriented fellows. Pasted smile. It is not coming from the being.

Sometime I think if you drop that box which you are carrying for ten days and meditate, you will come back and smile not for a reason, just overflowing, just overflowing. One Bharatn actor, very famous guy, he asked Me, “Swamiji, I am seeing You always smiling, laughing. How You are able to do? Don't You feel the pain in Your cheeks?” I asked why because I never even thought about this. This guy told Me, “Swamiji, just few hours I have to smile in the… in my movies, I feel the pain here, there. How You are able to do?” I said, “Oh God! Leave Me. Don't put all these ideas in My head…. I Am very happy because I don't know all these things. Better you learn enlightenment from Me. Don't give your ideas to Me.”

First time I understood that you will have pain in your cheeks if you smile for continuously, you smile continuously. I never thought about this. First time I have got the idea, of course did not allow internalize, allow to go inside that you will have pain if you are laughing or smiling continuously. I can't imagine. I told him, “Oh God! If the center is you, it will be radiating. You will be radiating.” Understand, showing is different and radiating is different. Radiating, it just becomes your quality. I told him, “Just try to be relaxed in your center. You will radiate joy. You won't feel the pain in your cheeks if you wanted to smile.” Only after working with, seeing all these guys, I understood that there is so many things, so many special things which comes along with the package of Enlightenment. Otherwise I don't even think or remember. Only when I wanted to tell you about this now, I at least remembered this. Otherwise I don't remember. It is good actually.

If you don't even remember or think you are innocent or loving or compassionate, only then you are loving or innocent or compassionate, not otherwise. Such a big difference between this so-called the personality development and this so-called personality development books or this ‘how to,’ this ‘how to’ literatures. These ‘how to’ books and personality development literatures. If you want to save yourself, save yourself from those books and that kind of programs. No really. You may have little benefit, that feel-good-feeling for few days but you don't know how dangerous thing you are swallowing in your mind.

See, it is like a food poisoning. If food poisoning happens, what happens to your stomach the same thing will happen. Mind poisoning. You are caught with the wrong ideas and trying to work with those ideas and it is like you are trying to fly by pulling your shoelaces…. You are just trying to fly by pulling your shoelaces. You are pulling your shoes and trying to fly. For two feet you can jump. You will really jump for two feet. What will happen after two minutes, two second? The higher you jump, the blow will be big. Reading and working on these so-called ‘how to’ books and the personality development things is just like pulling your shoes and trying to fly.

Going to the airport and buying a ticket and sitting in the aircraft will take little time, but safe method for flying. Do not try to fly by pulling your shoes just because instant result, in twenty four hours. I was shocked to see some of the books. God! They give you the guarantee also. Immediate transformation. Otherwise money back…. Call now, call now. Operators are waiting…. God! Anyhow, I just wanted to warn about these instant and so-called things because these guys, they think that they can give solution, they can replace the space of enlightened solutions or these great masters’ words. Never, never. Impossible. Never go for that.

So let us do this meditation. Try to create anger because anger is more possible for you than love. Let us work with the easiest method, anger intense that your whole body and mind and being burned for few minutes. Then just remove that person or that object and turn the whole energy towards you, towards the source. You don’t even have to create the anger. If you just sit quietly, you will have it. There is so much inside. Just allow them to come out and you will see you are just overflowing…. So we will work on this technique to experience what really Shiva wants to teach through this technique and practice it whenever anger happens to you, whenever that love happens to you, whenever a mood for someone or against happens to you, practice.

Now I Am trying to give you the glimpse of this technique. That is why I am asking you to create the anger but practice when it happens. It will be more authentic. To teach you to show so that you can practice it. I Am… just to equip you with this weapon, with this technique, I Am asking you to create but in your regular life, do not create and practice because you will not be authentic in creating even anger. When it happens, a mood for or against someone, then practice it. Then do it.
