“Understand, this is not like NSP.”
Understand, this is not like NSP. If you have done NSP, don't think it will be like NSP. No, in NSP, we work on only the engrams which is recorded in those layers like, we wipe the paintings. You are healed from engrams and it is like a little lubrication. You will go back and live in the society as a much better person but now we are going to work on the very Kosha means the very layer, very canvas on which the painting engrams are carved. So it is like a, you will not be the same person again. You are not the same person now itself, from morning to now. You are not the same. How can you be same? Now lot of gender change has happened, job career change, professional change and still husband- wives are sitting next.
Now let us start the process. Annamaya kosha, first layer means the physical layer with which you are living - the bone, flesh, structure. See, this is made out of samskaras which you bring from so many janmas, so many births. People ask Me, “Swamiji, do You believe in reincarnation, many births?” I tell them, “No, I don't believe but I know the truth. It is there.” It’s not belief, simply it is truth. You are reborn till you are enlightened. Till you achieve Enlightenment you take birth. Rarely after Enlightenment, people take conscious birth. It is called Avatara, incarnation. All unconscious birth is regular birth and death. Rarely some people after Enlightenment take birth. It is called incarnation or avatara. Anyhow, now all you need to understand, whether you believe it or not, truth is that we do have rebirth and we bring our karmas, samskaras unfulfilled, understand, unfulfilled samskaras when we take this new body.
Usually when you take a big jump means the.... when you shift the bodies in which you live like a, from fish to tortoise, from tortoise you jump to the pig. That is the way the Incarnations are described traditionally, the Vishnu’s Incarnations, Avataras. First fish. See, when you live in the fish body, whatever you see and whatever you hear gets recorded. Now you know about more possibility, more samskaras like when fish sees a animal which is staying in the water and in the land- tortoise and it decides, “Let me take up this kind of a body next time.” And when it leaves the old body, now it has got all samskaras, the higher possibilities are recorded in it. So it decides to create a tortoise body for itself. Now it sees a much better animal on the land. Of course, even though it may see human beings, it can't take such big jump. Whatever samskaras it collected during the tortoise body, it gathers the whole thing and when it have wants to have a next body, it decides much better choice.
That is why, we always tell, even seeing an Enlightened Master is a blessing because next time when you design your body, you will decide to be that kind of a being. The possibility is already known to you. In six billion people, how many you think knows the possibility of enlightenment, the higher level of being, higher kind of existence is possible? That is why we say in Vedic tradition, Darshana, seeing itself is a great thing because in your.... you see, whatever you see, hear, enjoy, even if you are not completely aware, it will get recorded in you. That is why you can be hypnotized and information can come out. You see, even if you have not observed, when you travel in a road, the information will be recorded inside. You can be hypnotized and you will tell that information. Information can be taken out of you.
So when you live in a tortoise body, you receive so much of information. You see, hear, receive so much of Information and samskaras about a better body. Then you next choice, you take a better body. That is the way you take a jump. Next, next, next, next, next. That is the way you change your bodies. Now when you take the human body, human sharira, manushya sharira, the last jump which you took, the last animal, that engrams, samskaras also you bring. You bring animal samskaras which you did not fulfill when you were in the animal body, when you were in the manushya sharira. You come with those samskaras also. One more thing, now when you give life to those samskaras, the energy which is connected to those samskaras will be given to you. Two thing: all samskaras, engram will have certain power, energy, certain energy and certain love or hatred.
You see, let Me describe the engram very clearly so that you will understand what I am saying. Some engram to have cup of coffee in the morning. Morning you will have that energy to get up, go to the kitchen, pick up the coffee and drink and the picture of coffee, the experience of coffee- this both together is called samskara. Now we are trying to remove that picture and just give the energy to you. If you remove the samskara completely, you will lose energy and picture both but when you work on Annamaya kosha, samskaras’ energy will be there and the picture will disappear. Vasanas will be removed but the Shakti, the power of the samskara will stay with you. Vasana means the object; Shakti is power of samskara. Removing Vasana but not the power of the samskara, it is called self actualization.
Understand, self realization can be achieved in two way. Completely removing the samskara and energy, everything. You will have self realization. Path of renunciation. You can realize yourself by actualizing yourself also. That means having the energy removing the Vasana. Now by working on Anandamaya kosha itself, you will be having the shakti but not the vasana. You bring so much of samskaras from the different animal births. It is a very powerful method, process to re-live and get all the things out, get everything out of your being. Usually only in a very close, intimate atmosphere like teacher training and all only I give this meditation technique. It is a very powerful technique. I can't even call this technique. Again process, again and again I want to remind you guys. It is a process because technique means you can go and practice. You can't practice this. No, you can't do this in the house. It is a process. It doesn't work without Master’s presence, direct presence.
You go from a different bodies. You just travel from different levels to higher and higher levels like a fish to tortoise and tortoise to pig, pig to Narasimha. Narasimha means half man and half animal and from there to Vamana, pygmy man, man but short, pygmy guy. Then goes to Rama, then Krishna, growing system. When you are in the human body, if you are fortunate enough to see a Living Master, Enlightened Master and live around him, your unconscious will record, “O God! the better possibility to exist is there, better possibility to live is true.” And this, when you are supposed to take the next body will be used as an information, data. You will create an enlightened body. That is why we say that even seeing, darshana, is such a great blessing, such a great thing.
Now we will work on the annamaya kosha. How? Just start living all the animal engrams so that your annamaya kosha will become completely self actualized. All the samskara which you brought with your body, with your annamaya kosha becomes reality. Understand, you have got so many samskaras from animal layer. Because you never allowed them to become reality, it expresses in your everyday life. You can see when you eat, you can see when you are angry, the animals expressing through you and you can see when you are filled with lust, the animals expressing through you. Understand, sometime even you will feel frightened, ‘What am I doing? What is going on?’ Till you allow the animal inside you to be completely fulfilled and relaxed, you can't escape from it because you are carrying those engrams, you are carrying those samskaras. It should be allowed to come out. It should be allowed to actualize itself.
See, these engrams are so powerful, this is called prarabdha karma. This prarabdha karma is so powerful, if you allow them to work through you, they will empower you. If you suppress them, they will constantly depress you. You will be fighting with them. Whatever quality you are fighting with you, whatever way you are fighting with you… see, if you are fighting to control your anger, if you are fighting to stop smoking, if you are fighting to stop drinking, everything is directly connected to this annamaya kosha, animal layer. The samskaras which you brought from the animal level, animal layer. That is the... even for any addiction or anything, if you are fighting with yourself, responsibility is this annamaya kosha. Whatever may be the reason for your fight with you, the responsibility is the samskaras which you bring from the animal body.
