“I'll answer all the questions or all questions have disappeared.”

I'll answer all the questions or all questions have disappeared. Sometimes by the grace of the master questions disappear sometimes by grace of the disciples the question disappear.

Same act but wrong reason. Small story about this same act but wrong reason. The lunatic asylum three people were asking to relieve them to go back to the house. Doctor said: “Will relieve you. Tomorrow morning we will have a test, please come. Then we will decide”.

All three were brought to a swimming pool, empty swimming pool. Doctor said one by one. He called the first person, told jump. That guy jumped and broke the legs.

Second guy, doctor said jump. He jumped and broke the hands. Empty swimming pool. Naturally, third guy has brought. Doctor said: jump! He said: ”No, I won't jump”.

Doctor said:” yes, you can go out. You can go back. You have become all right, please leave”.

When he was signing the papers to leave, doctor has told him: “ Why did you decide not to jump?”

“No, I can't swim.”

Understand, right decision wrong reason. So this news, questions disappearing also, it should disappear by Mastering answering, not the disciples forgiveness, disciples forgetting. Right act wrong reason.

I have so many questions. Here's a question in Tamil. I'll first translate in English the question, then the answer.

Swami, [SPEAKING TAMIL ]

The question says that if a master wants, even if a disciple is qualified or not, can he give intelligence and the clear consciousness? Please understand one story, story from Buddha's life, beautiful story. Somebody asked Buddha, Buddha You know Enlightenment is the ultimate thing. Why don't you give to everybody and you can give.

Traditionally it is believed, not only it is believed, I know for sure, enlightened Master if he wants, he can enlighten anybody just by one touch. Not even a touch, just the thought is enough, nothing else is necessary. He can just liberate anybody, give enlightenment to anybody.

Buddha said, Buddha was asked:\` “Why don't you give Enlightenment to everybody?”

Buddha said: ” Please go all over the village, bring people, whoever wants enlightenment bring them tomorrow”. That guy goes round from morning to the evening, from house to house. Do you want Enlightenment? Do you want enlightenment?

Comes back in the evening empty-handed. Buddha asked what, nobody wants? He said: “No, no two people wanted”.

Buddha asked, at least bring them. I'll give them the enlightenment. So nice the two people wanted. This guy said: ”No, no they're not interested in coming all the way from there to here and all. If you send by post it's okay”.

If you send from here itself, nobody wants. Second thing, even if they want it's like a one more item to be kept in their showcase. Not for transformation, just for some utility. Buddha makes a beautiful statement: “ God gives you the freedom to be in bondage.” Only enlightenment he can't force on you. If it can be forced, even freedom will be a bondage.

Understand. You're asking: ”Can freedom be given to a disciple even if he does not want, even if he is not qualified?”

Now, two things: qualification and wanting. Understand, even if you are not qualified it's okay, there is no qualification actually. There is no qualification, but the deep want, wanting it. Feeling that I need it, that should be there. There is no need for any qualification.

People ask me, Swamiji what all you did to achieve this enlightenment. I promise, I had all the problems which you are having. When I say all, I mean capital letter ALL.

I am not having my own meaning. Don't think that because I inquire about that all, I will hide some portion no, no, no, no, no.

When I say, all I didn't mean like that, like this no.

I'm very clear I had all, A L L. All problems which you have. Not able to trust the existence or not able to trust yourselves. These are the few problems. The major problems. I had everything. All I can say, there is no qualification for enlightenment. See I can tell you from my experience, enlightenment does not need any qualification, because I did not have.

I did not have any qualifications. For somebody to win a lottery, there is no qualification required. All you need to do, buy a lottery, that's all.

That is the only qualification. Can anybody say: no, I worked, went all the way to the market and paid $1 and bought a lottery that is why I want 100 million dollars? No! The work which you did is too small for the result that you got. So Enlightenment is always a lottery. It is always a lottery. Understand never, once that experience happens you will understand, you will really you know the truth.

It is just a blessing, whatever you do will be nothing more than buying a lottery ticket. Person who bought a lottery ticket cannot say it came to me because of my hard work, but the fools will always brag. Once it happens we always find some reason to connect no, no, no I was also qualified, but enlightenment does not need any qualification. it does not need any qualifications.

Great Master Ramana Maharshi says in one of his Stotra to Arunachala: Swamiji speaking TAMIL…..

Let me translate: “ I gave me and got you. Who is the winner? Who is intelligent guy? He says, I gave me and got you. Who is intelligent guy? So enlightenment, you can have enlightenment by giving you. See, giving you is not equal thing for what you receive. Even if you have given your whole life, it is nothing more than buying a lottery ticket.

Buying a lottery ticket does not mean you've done everything to achieve the result. To have the, to win the lottery, to win the lottery, after it happens you will understand it's just a pure grace and blessing. The result or the effect will be so big! The transformation will be so great, you can't think, why you have been chosen? Why it has been showered on you?

No qualification is necessary but deep need, the seeking that is necessary. Here you are asking, if a master wants, even if somebody does not have qualification can he give the intelligence and the pure consciousness?

He can give that, no need for any qualification, but one thing is necessary - deep need. Feeling the voidnes, that emptiness because you don't have the spiritual clarity and enlightenment.

Rama Krishna used to say beautifully: “ You are living in poverty, dying. No food, no clothes, but somehow you know the next room so much wealth is there and it is kept locked and even if you take it, nobody will know”.

Can you sleep?

Either you will try to open the door or break the door, but unless you have that under your control, unless you enjoy it you will not be able to sleep. Same way, you should know that you are in spiritual poverty and you should know inside you there is a room in which the whole thing is kept under lock with a key and you will not be able to sleep.

That mood, that attitude, that intensity is a basic necessity. Seeking transforms your whole life, seeking is - I think yesterday I defined seeking - seeking means unable to feel comfortable just being inside that five points and bored, tired of experiencing excitement just through that five points. It happens in two ways. Sometimes in course of time, when all of those points have lost sensitivity, Ramakrishna used to say, like a brush which is used too much.

If the brush is used too much, all the bristles will just bend and it cant be used any more. Like that, when all the sensitivity is lost, that time also you will get a little intelligence: Oh God, I think I'm tired of these five senses. I need to go beyond. Sometimes, intelligent guys, even from the beginning they catch: yes - this is what is going to happen in the end. See in Sanskrit we have two words: Anubhava and Anubhuti.

Anubhava means in course of time, step by step, when all your senses have lost the ability to excite you, even if they come in contact with the objects.

[00:13:40] See, even if they come in contact with the same objects which was giving excitement, now there is no excitement. They come in contact with the same object but there is no excitement inside. That is the time we say honeymoon has ended. See, that word you should understand he said, honeymoon not honeysun.

How many days will the moon be there - 16 days. The feeling also will be there for 16 days.

[00:14:06] That's why it's called a honeymoon. Same object is coming in contact with the same sense but the excitement does not exist, the excitement is lost. This is called Anubhava. Getting the intelligence in course of time is Anubhava.

[00:14:27] Anubhuti means, the first experience itself you know: oh God I've gone to the peak and fallen to the valley and this is what is going to be. This is not the graph of this one emotion or the experience, this is the graph of my life.

[00:14:48] Just studying one experience, the graph of one experience, urge and feeling excited, going to the peak experience and suddenly falling to the valley. Studying this one graph and releasing - this graph, this graph is just not the graph of one day, this is going to be the graph of my whole life.

If I live with this formula, this is going to be the graph for my whole life. When you experience that it's called Anubhuti.

[00:15:23] Simple example, like some people touch all kinds of fires, only then they realize that all fire will burn. First they will touch the furnace fire, then the cigarette fire then the matchbox fire. By the time they touch all kinds of fire, all fires and realize the truth all fire will burn their body and they will be ready to be burnt. This is Anubhava.

[00:15:54] Anubhuti means when you touch one fire and get burnt you realize all fire will burn, this is Anubhuti. There is one more state when you see somebody touching the fire getting burned, you realize: oh God, fire will burn. This is called Paramahamsa state.

Anubhava, Anubhuti and Paramahamsa. When you come to the clarity by Anubhava in course of time the same objects come in contact with the same senses points, but you feel the same excitement does not happen, then what you realize is called Anubhava.

[00:16:47] Once you come in contact and you see the peak and the valley. There's one more question I saw: what do I mean by being authentic with emotions?

This is what I mean, let me, when I explore that question you will see few more points. When you are authentic with your emotions at least once, whether it's anger or lust, when I say being authentic means - going through the whole experience of peak and valley consciously, not justifying. Understand, if you are peak-orientated guy, peak-orientated means youth, you will forget the valley. If you are a valley orientated guy negative, you will forget the peak.

[00:17:46] Understand, any emotion will take you to the peak and to the valley. Being conscious, being authentic with a particular emotion means seeing whole thing consciously.

Usually, let me go a step further and give you the clarity, when you are filled with a particular desire whether it is eating some kind of food or seeing some place or going through a physical pleasure, touch or something. When you're filled with that desire, your whole being is pulsating, vibrating with that desire.

Slowly, you get that object, you come in contact with that object, that thing you want to see you, the thing which you want to taste, want to change, you want to experience the pleasure, you come in contact. Both the objects and the sense when they come in contact, the boling, the excitement happens.

[00:18:57] You become just a steam and suddenly the whole thing cools down from the peak you start coming down, slowing down. The person who is too much connected or who is filled with the greed for the peak does not want the valley. He starts cursing the valley or starts cursing that low mood. He starts creating guilt through the low mood. He tries his best to stop or to postpone the valley.

Understand, after every experience of lust or anger, he will see the valley. After every experience he will see the valley. If you are peak oriented. If you are young, if you are peak oriented, you will try to postpone, forget or curse the valley. If you, after sometime suddenly you may become valley oriented. I've seen people who are valley-oriented, even youngsters. They come to me and ask for sanyas. Swamiji I want Sanyas. I tell them: ”Why, why do you want?

[00:20:19] They tell me: “You became Swami, so I want to become sanyas”. I tell them: “No. I have become Swami because I have gone beyond this peak and valley. I've experienced it, my whole energy was diverted to some other direction completely.” Understand, right decisions, wrong reason will be failure. I'll never give sanyas to people just because I am Swami.

[00:20:50] People come and tell me, Oh, Vivekananda became Swami. Vivekananda became Swami means that as his experience.

If I have become Swami that means that was my experience. So just because I became Swami, you can't become. These guys, they have become value-oriented,

they have become life negative, they would have suffered with that lower energy when you fall into the valley you go through a tremendous guilt and the tiredness boredom... that moment all your vedanta vairagya will come up.

[00:21:20] We call that as a murgara vairagya. The Monkeys renunciation. It will not be there for more than 2-3 hours. When the hormones are built in your body again Within 24 hours that murgara vairagya will not be there, it will disappear. It won't be there. It will just disappear. The person who is value-oriented, he will always try to stop the peak experience. That is also wrong, understand. See, taking sanyas for a wrong reason is the main reason for all failures.

Even if it is right decision, if it is taken for wrong reason, you can't achieve the truth. Right reason, right decision. Just now I told a story. This guy did not jump in the swimming pool not because he understood there is no water, because he can't swim.

Right decision, but wrong reason. People come and ask me, especially the youngsters. Sometimes they feel jealous when they see me. I go around too many colleges to teach. These guys, they come and tell me: “I also want to become Swami”.

I tell them why, wherever you go you are respected, the way you are treated. I also feel like becoming Swami. I tell them, just come and leave this life for one year and you will understand. Just come and live. It's not so easy. Unless you go beyond this peak and valley orientations. Understand when I say be authentic with your emotion, be conscious with the peak that you experience, be conscious of the value you experience, do not judge for peak or against the valley. If you are judging, if you are calculating and you go to the peak, all your fears will disappear. All the decisions which you made in valley will completely disappear. You will not even remember when you are in peak.

When you are in peak you can see in your life, whatever I'm saying, try to look into your life. Same way when you are in valley, whatever you did in the peak, you can't even digest it that you did it. There is one more kind of mentality, by suffering in the peak and the suffering in the valley, these two come to an understanding. You decide, I'll neither go to the peak nor to the valley - you will be dead after middle age.

That is what I call the life after middle age. You will be just dead; you will neither work towards the peak nor work towards the valley. All minors come, in Bharat you know the word here, what word you use, I don't know maybe Playboy. Playboy can be the right word, in the western culture. In Bharat they call that minor, means too much rolling into the life, these guys after the middle age they come to this ... The peak and the valley have given so much of suffering, they decide not to experience both. Again you are not growing, you are not expanding. They feel that this valley is too much for this peak or this peak is too much for this valley. They decide no.

No, to both and they will be in between. They become dead, life does not radiate through them. All three are wrong! Then what is right? Neither the peak. Peak is also wrong. Valley is also wrong. Not going through both also wrong. Then what to do?

Go through the peak and the valley authentically. You see, when you feel an emotion, desire, either lust or taste or anything, just be with it and intensely enjoy. Go into it. Intensely go through the whole thing. Understand, do not allow just other thoughts to mingle with those emotions . When I say other thoughts mingle with those emotions … When you are filled with lust, let it be filled with your lust, not the fantasys which you receive from the society. You can see many times when you are getting filled with lust, you're not being filled with your lust, you will be filled with somebody else's lust. I'm going to the deeper levels of the Mind. Of course, if I have to teach sometime I need to open up. I need to go to the deeper levels.

[00:26:41] If I don't go to the deeper levels you won't find solutions. I may be sitting and talking but you won't find solution. Many times when you're filled with anger, you remember some heroes who are expressing the anger and that body language comes through for you. Let him be angry As You Are. How you will feel anger?

Do not throw something just because in some movies you seen people throwing when they become angry. You can see your life, you will do the exact things when you become angry. If you're attracted to some hero, what that hero will do when he becomes angry you will do the same when you become angry - no. When you become angry just do what you want. When you feel lust just express what you want, but you did not go through what you want, you just refer some manuals, what your hero did, you refer the manual. Drop the manual go through the experience intensely

go to the peak don't even name that as the peak. Same way, when the valley comes, go through the valley. Don't create guilt. Don't justify, don't judge. During the valley all the teachings of all the religions will come into your mind. During the peak all the fantasy which you collected will come to your mind.

See, during the peak all your materialistic heroes are expressing their desires through you. During the valley all your religious leaders are expressing their ambitions through you.

[00:28:31] You're no more an authentic person. Whatever you collected, the ideas about materialism, you're experiencing, you are expressing during valley, during peak and whatever you collected as a religion as renunciation and all those things you are expressing during the valley. Do not be corrupted, do not be disturbed by peak or by the valley. Just go into it, it will be just complete animal.

See animal in, animal never overeats, except if it becomes part of the society, humane Society.

[00:29:24] Only your pets overeat, because of your training. Wild animals never suffer in obesity. Wild animals never suffer of over sex, over lust - no. They don't have suffering; they are very authentic with their peak and valley.

God saved them. They are thoughts save them they didn't have any religious leaders. Buffaloes do not have any congregation. No really, one more thing, this so-called renunciation idea which supports the valley, makes the valley more deeper. One important thing you forget. If the valley becomes more deeper, peak also becomes more higher, both are directly connected. Supporting thoughts for valley, supporting thoughts for peak, they only corrupt. They do not let you be authentic with your emotions.

[00:30:32] When I say be authentic with your emotion, please understand these two lines when I say be authentic with your emotion. When you're filled with lust, let it be filled with lust with joy!

When you're filled with guilt, let you be filled with guilt with joy. Today morning I was filled with lust, now by evening I'm filled with guilt. That's okay, that's okay perfectly alright. I think this is the way life energies moving in me.

Suddenly you will see the intelligence awakens, suddenly in you the intelligence will be awakened, you will never be bothered with a peak nor be bothered of the valley. Try to equate both and be in the middle.

[00:31:13] If the peak happens to you, you will be in the peak. If the valley happens to you, you will be in the valley. If you are completely relaxed, you will be completely relaxed.

Means all three will not have meaning for you. All three, if you do not have meaning that's what I call liberation. All three may happen, may not happen.

[00:31:40] J. Krishnamurti says beautifully. Somebody goes to him and asks; “Master I'm suffering too much with lustful thoughts. How can I help myself?”.

J. Krishnamurti answers. He's a very strong and direct person, it isn't talking too polite language. Earliest I talk in a very polite language, because I have to, what to say that, with the traditional background, I use the words which is very, little indirect and not too straight because Bharatns can't tolerate too straight words.

It is there... they cannot tolerate too straight words.

It hurts them, see, because of that I use a little polished polite language.

J. Krishnamurti is very sharp. He says use the words straight. He says: “ How much of time you spent in eating?”. In the disciple, he had maybe an hour per day. “How much time you spent in your sexual activities?”. Maybe 20-30 minutes for a day. “Eating, does it hurt you? Do you remember whole day about eating? No. Then why do you remember whole day about sexual activities?”

[00:32:58] That's wrong. Then you don't remember what you do for one hour after that activity, why do you remember so much?

Because you neither go to peak nor to the valley authentically. In Peak also you have some strings attached to you just which is pulling, in the valley also you have some strings attached which is pulling so naturally you are neither in the peak nor in the valley, trying to keep some new clarity, trying to keep some new state with suffering.

[00:33:40] You see you are liberated from food if you are not remembering it. When the shoe fits, leg is forgotten. When the leg fits, neck is forgotten, when the belt fits, belly is forgotten.

If it does not fit, you will remembering it. If it does not fit, you will be remembering it. If you have forgotten your head, it means you don't have headache. If you're having headache, you will remembering. It if you don't remember about food, you are liberated. If you don't remember about lust, you are liberated. Not remembering about - you see when I say, when you don't remember about food, you are liberated - I'm not saying you don't eat, no!

[00:34:28] I'm not telling you, no, you don't eat. Sometimes, sometimes you actually stop eating, you don't eat, that's what I call Paramahamsa. Means, the person not only is liberated, the liberation is so complete, so full, he is not even aware of his body.

He is just living in such a deep inner ecstasy. I'm not even asking you to be a Paramahamsa, that is not even necessary. The ordinary liberation, the person who asked, the person who eats the food, but he is not bound by it. That can happen when you're authentic with your emotions with your graph.

Even once, try. How to try?

Usually it takes two days, 48 hours for your body to build the hormones under pressure, in 48 hours slowly, slowly, slowly your body will be built and I'll be ready for some sexual activity or any physical activity. When the body is getting ready just watch from morning till evening how your body is getting ready. Morning just sit 10 minutes and see your mood.

[00:35:58] Remember some of those fantasies which you have, when you remember the fantasys, you will understand, otherwise your mind gets connected to it or not.

Morning may not feel connected, but within 48 hours, the same picture when it is brought to the mind, it will have some strong connection.

When that same picture gets some strong connection with your mind, see now your body is ready, now your body is filled, ready for the action.

When it goes through the action, just watch how your body is slowly building up, reaching the peak and how it is going through the peak and after the peak how it slowly comes down to the valley. After it comes down to the valley, see how it goes on creating some negative idea or positive idea, justifying or trying to forget.

Sometimes you just try to forget. Just see how it goes and comes down.

That's why we try to forget at sleep.

[00:37:01] You just want to escape, you're not able to tolerate your own action, you don't want to be awake. So just go through, just go into that whole valley and see what happens, authentically go through the whole graph.

Suddenly you will see and be aware when the body is getting prepared, till the next experience. From one peak to the next peak, just be aware of the whole thing.

See, when you come to the valley, the same fantasy when you bring it back to the mind, you will not feel connected. Because your body is not pressured with hormones. No more energy is there, the hormonal pressure, that's what I call hormonal pressure, does not exist.

[00:37:55] Same picture but there is no hormonal pressure. Same slide, same picture but there's no emotional attachment. Picture with emotional attachment is high resolution picture.

If your Hardware is filled with too many high resolution pictures, it will crash. Sometimes, people ask me how you have a sharp memory. The reason for my memory power is I don't have high resolution pictures, only Word Documents. I can have any number of documents.

Word documents means what? it means there is no emotional attachment. You see there's no emotion attached to the picture, no emotion attached to the page, then it becomes Word document.

[00:38:54] If an emotion is attached to the picture you can understand, if you can just apply in your mind, if you're sitting here with closeness: oh God. Some people ask me: “God, you're a sanyasi, how are you able to describe the mine so clearly?”

The peak and valley, how you were able to tell the whole experience?

[00:39:19] I tell them. Just because I'm a Swami, only I can describe, only I can describe. A person who never went through the experience describe the experience much more clearly. Electrician, he doesn't have to switch on and off the switches, but he knows the complete circuit. A normal person who is living in this building, switching on and off every day may not know the circuit.

Person who is living in grihastha life, every day he knows only to switch on and off,he will not know the whole circuit, but the electrician he may not live at all in this building, he has never switched it on and off but he knows the circuit.

The Kama Sutra the great scripture on sexology is written by a person who is a Bramachari, a celibate.

Vatsyayana is celibate. I think it will be a shocking revelation for all of you. Vatsyayana is a celibate and one more thing you should know, the book was taught to his mother. His mother asked him, please teach me the science of the lust, how to achieve enlightenment.

Householders who are living with the body, who are living in the Grihastha life. How to achieve the perfection? How to achieve liberation?

[00:40:39] Mother is asking her son and son is teaching. That is the Kama Sutra, that is the greatest of our tradition, anything is used for enlightenment. Every door leads to enlightenment. Every door, we use all possible doors to enlightenment.

That is the greatness of our tradition. That is the greatness of our culture. They never wanted to postpone the valleys, never wanted to postpone the peak, they neither wanted to postpone the increase the peaks nor wanted to postpone the valleys.

[00:41:21] They are ready to go through the life and be liberated. That's the greatness of our culture. Understand, sit with open mind and go through, just see how the mind is playing a game.

Be conscious and aware of peak point to peak point. It will not be more than ten days in any human being, if you are with a human body you will experience the gap between one peak point and another peak point, will not more than ten days. Maximum! If you postpone maybe fourteen days, waiting fourteen days everybody has to go through at least one peak point either in the waking state or in the dream state.

[00:42:17] If you're completely avoiding in the waking state it will happen in the dream state. Fourteen days is the maximum time, you have to go through adlist one peak point.

Be aware, completely be authentic from one peak point to another peak point, you will be liberated. It may look too good to be true. I tell you just see, when the hormones are built in your body, when the hormonal pressure has increased how the same picture of the same fantasy, when it is brought back to your memory it becomes alive.

Your body is ready to respond, your mind is ready to get excited, but when you are in valley the same picture does not bring any excitement. It just says: “oh drop it, Ok, leave it.”

[00:43:15] Go through the peak and valley authentically. Just go in. Do not justify, do not disrespect, do not bother, do not create guilt, do not have your own judgments. Nothing! Neither fantasy, nor vairagya - renunciation.

People ask me: “ Swamiji, should I renounce to get enlightened? I tell them: “Renounce what you don't have, that's enough”.

You don't have to renounce what you have, just renounce what you don't have. You are living with too many fantasies and fears and guilt which is not part of your life. Just renounce those things, that's enough, you will be liberated!

[00:44:08] If you renounce those things are you bothered about food? No.

Are you bothered about feeling every day I have to eat? No.

It just becomes life. You don't even remember. Many of you don't even remember what you ate today morning, what you ate yesterday. But, then why you are disturbed by some other things, which is a regular life, which is part of our life. Because in peak our mood is different, in valley our mood is different. Sometimes we create so much of guilt, we can't believe we're the same people who was in peak and the same people who are in the valley.

[00:44:43] So much of misunderstanding so much of gap. Go through, authentically the peak and the valley, sudden you will feel a new kind of intelligence will arise inside in you. You will neither be touched by peak nor be touched by valley.

I'm not saying you will decide to grow through both. Whether you go through or not you, will not be touched by it. You will not even remember it. Person who decides not to go through both is a middle-aged man. No, I'm not saying you should decide not to go through both, no!

I'm saying you will be liberated from both.

[00:45:31] You won't even remember. Awakening of the intelligence - we call it in Sanskrit THE / D.

Kamasutra ends with a beautiful saying: let THE intelligence be awakened in you. It's a beautiful science to reach Enlightenment.

In those days, let me describe how Gurukul structure was created by the Masters. Any child by the age of seven should be handled with an enlightened master. Any child.

[00:46:12] There he initiates the person into Gayatri.

Gayatri is not baptizing, understand. Gayatri, the meaning of the Gayatri means, the meaning of the Gayatri: “ Let me meditate on the cosmic intelligence, which awakens my intelligence and let me pray to that intelligence to meditate on that intelligence. Om bhur bhuvah svah tat savitur varenyam bhargo devasya dhimahi dhiyo yo nah prachodayat.”

Means; let me meditate on the cosmic intelligence, which awakens my intelligence, let me pray to that intelligence to meditate on that intelligence. That's all.

Nowhere description of five headed women is there. What we call Gayatri Murti, nowhere.

[00:47:05] It is directed to one lady or one woman or one man. No, it's a pure initiation to meditate on your awareness. The guru gives the Gayatriand and puts the thread in the hip and gives him coupy, understand, lion cloth.

[00:47:28] At the age of seven he gives the thread and the linen cloth. That slowly became a sacred thread. From hip it has come to shoulder.

Originally it is tied in the hip with the linen cloth from age seven to fourteen he has to study, he has to meditate. Like a basic probational course, basic things about life. He would learn all the vidyas, like how to be a worker, how to be a businessman, how to be a warrior Kshaktriya and a little bit of spirituality. He will learn all four. In that seven years he will need to meditate on his Gayatri.

[00:48:16] By meditation, by the age of fourteen if he has achieved the first experience of enlightenment - then his energy will never come down. Means the linen cloth will not have any dirt.

Understand, if a Master decides, yes - this guy's energy has not come down, his Kundalini has not come down, then that boy is chosen to study Brahma Sutra.

If somebody is not that mature, if his energy is still working towards a lower energy. He achieves the physical maturity, then the Master decides, all right, to start studying Kamasutra.

[00:49:01] Between the age of seven to fourteen the Master sees, observes whether he's ready for Kamasutra or Brahma Sutra. From the age of fourteen day start, the person who is getting trained, the person who has achieved Satori first experience goes for Brahma Sutra, is getting trained for enlightenment.

The person who had a regular physical maturity, who is ready to be father now, he goes through Kamasutra. Learning the life, how to achieve perfection through the Grihastha life. From fourteen to twenty one both of them study Brahma Sutra, this person studies Brahma Sutra and this person studies Kama Sutra. By twenty one the person who achieved the first experience, he will become enlightened. He is supposed to become enlightened, because if you have achieved first experience before fourteen, simply the meditation and the deeper experience in the Brahma Sutra study you will become enlightened. By twenty one he will be enlightened and now he's a Master to around and teach to the world. This person by twenty one he will be ready to get married, he will be given in marriage. He will leave a complete life and after he lives the complete life, he goes for study yoga Sutra.

[00:50:28] That is the time we call vanaprastha. This person goes through Ganna. From the first seven to fourteen years brahmacharya life, from fourteen he studies, prepares his body and mind for grihastha life. Fourteen to twenty one - Kamasutra. Proper, scientific, knowledge about the life.

From twenty one he gets married and goes through the regular grihastha life.

[00:51:04] Understand when somebody goes through such a proper procedure, he lives such a fulfilling life. Such fulfilling life. He creates intelligent kids. He knows when to bring down the energies and how to use these Energies, how to use his Energies.

He produces intelligent kids. Not only that, he goes through the grihastha life and when he feels fulfilled then he studies Yoga Sutra. Step by step paths to enlightenment that's called Vanaprasta. He becomes enlightened.

By the age of 75 everybody is expected to be enlightened. Enlightened Society. If you have become enlightened at the age of twenty one you are called Paramahamsa and if you have traveled in this spot you're called Kamasanyasi. But both way, either you have become enlightened or you're working towards enlightenment, that it's what we call Satyuga - Enlightened Society.

[00:52:18] Society which is putting all his energy to enlightenment. This is the way our Gurukul structure was created; now you can understand how much of thinking, how much of designing, how much of intelligence, how much of research and development was done to create this system.

Nobody is pressured to become Swami, nobody is pressured to become Grihasta. Each one is given their option. Each one is given their own freedom. It's like a flowering. That is why the system was so successful.

Now people are at completely in opposite places. Person who is supposed to be a Swami is sitting in the householder life and creating trouble for the women, creating trouble for their wife for the husband and in-laws. What to do? And person who is supposed to be a householder is sitting in throne of a Swami and creating all kind of nonsense. What to do? Now the difficulty is because the system is not followed -

[00:53:25] DONT UNDERSTAND

Yoga is lost, truth is lost. The greatest calamity or the worst conspiracy done to a Vedic tradition is not by it the Mughal Empires. It's not by any other Invaders.

Of course enough of disturbance is done by them, they destroyed thousands of our beautiful temples, burnt huge libraries.

[00:54:15] But in Daksa Sila and Ananda libraries, we have a record that it took six months to burn the libraries for them. Then understand the amount of knowledge we have acquired. All the Mesopotamian culture. Whatever we have done the research and development, the whole thing was there in those libraries.

Burning that library is greatest loss for the humanity. We had flights, we had surgery, we had all medicines, we had even cosmetic surgeries, there is record. Perform cosmetic surgeries. We had everything. It was lost when this library was burnt. When those monks were killed it took six months to complete the burning process. Understand how much of knowledge is lost but I don't think all those things are also able to destroy our culture.

[00:55:05] The one conspiracy, destroying this Gurukul tradition is finished. Actually according to me that is the worst conspiracy against our Vedic traditions. Giving the choice to the human beings to decide about their future under the presence of an enlightened Master is lost. Under the guidance of an enlightened Master is lost. That is the worst thing that happened to our tradition. That was the worst thing that happened to our tradition, so I think if at all we have to restart the tradition, revive the traditions that should be brought back.

[00:55:50] Giving all the option to the kids, the youngsters. See this is Enlightenment, this is the householders life. You have all choices, see how you feel, to which you feel connected, don't decide in peak, don't decide in valley. Anybody who decides in peak, he will suffer with valleys. Anybody who decides in valley, he will suffer in peaks. People who decide in valley to become Swami's they suffer with peaks. People who decide in peaks to lead a regular marriage life, they suffer in valleys.

Both are suffering. Giving them the clear intelligence and energy to manage, energy to go through the life, that will be the ultimate service. When I see authentic I mean go through the peak to peak. Be conscious, live inside your body, just see all the chemical process happening in you.

[00:56:56] How the body chemistry makes you feel connected to one picture and how it repels from the same picture. Your body chemistry, when the chemistry, when the pressure is high the same memory, same picture - you feel connected.

When the pressure is not there, the same picture you feel repulsed just go through it consciously. The D/ THE intelligence will be awakened, so this question the first question - whether you are qualified or not - you don't need any qualifications.

[00:57:46] Somebody ask the Brahmarishi: “What's the qualification to become enlightened?” Brahma Rishi says: “ Are you alive?”

Yes, very. I'm alive. “That is the qualification. Nothing else. You don't need any qualification, but you need seeking.”

If you are seeking, Mastery can give clarity and knowledge. I think I've answered too many questions. I read all the questions and one answer. I think in one answer I finished almost all the questions.

The next question: “Please explain how being authentic with emotions will liberate, as what do you mean by authentic?”

[00:58:28] I think I answered this question also.

Question: “As we do practice and clear the mental layer perverted emotions, will violence and madness end?” Yes. When you are authentic with a mental layer, when I say be authentic with your anger, you may become mad, sometimes at one point with lust also you may become mad. Going through that madness is what we call Tapas.

Knowing very clearly that you will be liberated but you are ready to go through the authentic emotion is what is called Tapas. Tapas means burning, allowing your anger to burn you without justifying.

When anger starts burning you don't bring my teachings into your mind.

[00:59:22] No, no, no. I should not be angry. I should become like a Buddha. Buddha means - who is beyond the volcano, not who is sitting on the volcano. If you're suppressing, you'll be sitting on the volcano and you know where, where you'll be burning if you are sitting on the volcano.

You know where you'll be burning, you can visualize and that is not the way you will achieve Buddhahood. Go through. When you go through those things authentically, you may be burnt. That burning only is called Tapas.

So, when you go through those emotions, violence and madness will end. It will just disappear, it will just disappear.

I think I answered this question yesterday itself.

Question: A group of devotees from New York will join your meditation classes this weekend. A group of eleven devotees. When will you come to New York City?

I told you; create a temple, then call me. Because, nowadays I saw people just call me, like a circus toy. They just wanted to have me, just enjoy for a few days then say bye. It becomes more like a good circus, an entertainment.

See, when a new circus comes to your hometown, you are entertained.

[01:00:58] So now with the circus at least you will feelI little guilt. Oh I'm just wasting my time with the circus. The meditation is like a spiritual circus. I decided: no more entertainment, no more spiritual circus.

Before calling me, I tell them - commit. Are you committed to do the work?

Then call, otherwise take the teachers, they will do the circus.

Question: We had great Saints such as Babaji who lived for thousands of years. How do we regenerate the body or parts of the body that are weak and missing. Is this control, is this covered in the Shiva Sutras.

Oh God, Nice question.

Understand, if you try to add years to your life I don't know whether you will be successful or not but add life to your years.

Adding years to your life is different. Adding life to your years is different. I am not here to teach you how to add years to your life. I am here to teach you how to add life to your years. Add life to your years. Suddenly you will see the extension of years happens by itself if it's necessary.

I have seen many people, they work hard by adding years to their life by yoga. So many things, all kinds of gymnastics… at the end of the life they want to die. They can't die because they prepare the body to live long.

That's the worst situation. Don't get into that.

[01:02:50] No really I've seen people, they want to die. There is one liner, very nice one liner: it seems that married men live longer than single. There is a survey. Married men live long, then single. But they want to die earlier, what to do.

[01:02:12] Wanting to die but unable to die is the worst thing, please do not get into that. Adding years to your life through yoga, ayurveda... so many things in the young age they practice so regularly, complete routine and regularity.

[01:03:31] They are really, after 85 also they are healthy, strong... next 20-25 years. No question of death, but they feel bored. They want to die, what to do. So please when you're trying to work add years to your life use your intelligence also. Add life.

When I say add life, be more alive, be in the present moment, add meditation to your life - no! Learn how to live without any entertainment or excitement from the outer world, because after 85 you cannot be excited by anything from the outer world and you'll be sitting all alone.

Prepare how to live happily, joyfully at that period. If it is necessary years will extend. If it is necessary you will have the intelligence, if it is necessary you will say: all right let me die after two years.

[01:04:30] I saw this Swami now only, let me live with him for a few years, then I'll die.

If you feel no, no, no it's okay, still relax... person who lives in the present moment will have the clarity and the power to decide about the death.

Patanjali says very clearly: if you have lived a fulfilling life, if you're relaxed, you can simply decide about your death. Forget, I'm not talking about big, big Yogi's like Paramahansa Yogananda, Ramana Maharshi, Ramakrishna who have decided and told and died. I'm not talking about those Masters. They have many records. Vivekananda clearly said. Just three days ago he's passing away. He just called one of his brother disciples Premananda he told: “Hey, this is the place to burn my body, to cremate my body. See that.”

[01:05:25] He told very clearly. Same way Ramana Maharshi, same way Ramakrishna and Paramahamsa Yogananda, very clear... His body did not even deteriorate.

[01:05:37] He did not even go through the regular deterioration and all those smelling. All these records are extraordinary. I'm not even talking about that.

Go back to your village, talk to your village people. In every Bharatn village we have two, three stories.. your grandmother told and died, your grandfather told and died. Go to your village and inquire. In every village you will have a story: my grandfather told everybody and died. My neighbours grandmother told everybody and died.

Every meeting I asked people: how many of you in some of your villages have stories like this? Raise your hand. Heard some stories..

See, they're not great yogis and they're not great enlightened Masters and so many hands.

[01:06:30] Every Bharatn village we have at least one story and I know so many stories: husband and wife, both of them died on the same day at the age of ninety five, at the age of hundred.

They will tell very clear early: Ah, tomorrow I will die, the husband will die.

Within half an hour the wife will say: OK, my work is over. She will die. Every Bharatn village will have edliest one story. You don't need to be a Yogi.

You just need to be a fulfilled person to decide about your death. I feel you should learn the science of deciding about your death. Not postponing your death. Postponing your death sometime will be stuck. We may be stuck, testing the patience of your relatives.

[01:07:27] Please don't get into that mess. Please don't get into that mess. Learn the science of deciding. Science of deciding happens to you, when you live a fulfilled life.

Completely be fulfilled. When you leave a fulfilled life you will learn the science of deciding. Don't work for postponing. Sometime you will create a body which is very strong and not ready to fall sick, but your mind will be so depressed you will be waiting and praying to die.

Oh God, why did it prepare this body, why did I create this kind of body? Do not prepare the kind of body without preparing the mind. Do not prepare the body without preparing the mind. It is dangerous. It is dangerous

[01:08:16] Actually today's Sutra is also the subject which I spoke. That's why I thought I'd enter the sutra in the end. We have some questions.

Question: Should everyone repeat Atma Spurana and how many times per year? Atma Spurana first time I'm doing in the USA. So I don't think you would have done the Atma Spurana.

In Bharat only once I did the Atma Spurana. Now only I'm doing.

It's not like how many times per year. See, it is more like sitting with a master at least once in six months. Try to sit with a master, it's like a rejuvenation. Getting the thread back, receiving the reassurance and rejuvenating you. Just like a vacation for your mind. So, it's not like how many times per year and all those things.

I will always tell people six months and in this country, once in three months because your corruption level is too much. The pollution level is too much. I'm not saying about the air pollution or sound pollution, I'm talking about mind pollution. In Bharat the air pollution, air pollution, sound pollution is too much, but the mind pollution is less.

[01:09:39] Not in Bharatn cities, in Bharatn villages. Bharatn cities are gone to dogs. Bharatn cities are no more worth, so at least once in three month try to sit with the master or to sit, have some satsang.

[01:10:02] Ramakrishna says beautifully: the person who has drunk too much of liquor, at least you need to give half of the amount of liquor the….. water which is taken out of the rice cooking. We call in Tamil Ganji. So that water if it is given edlist half amount. The addiction and or the sober mood will come down.

So if you're suffering too much in the world, too much of mind pollution at least once in three months spent two days in Satsanga in the presence of the master. He will come back you will be rejuvenated.

Question: Should I avoid all healers who balance vibration or do energy healing If they're not enlightened ?

Yes. If they're not enlightened their healing will be based on their mental power. They will be radiating the power from their mind, when they heal they give their thought also to you. Be careful about it.

Do not get healed, do not go to any healing things by an unenlightened person. Enlightened person means he will radiate the no mind state. You won't get a mental set up or thoughts from him because he doesn't have. Even if you get, it will be a great blessing. The few things which you receive will be a great blessing, so never try with an unenlightened person.

Question: Do you prescribe.. oh I'm not able to read, it's written in such a way... do you prescribe or prefer mantras?

There is no need for mantras in the Enlightenment science, just meditation. Nithya Dhyan is the thing I prescribe. Nithy Dhyan is something which is the essence of the what I want to teach.

Understand, twelve years I worked inside me to achieve that ultimate consciousness and four years I worked to create a technology to reproduce the same experience which opened in me. The essence of the 12 \+ 6, 12 \+ 4, 16 years is Nithya Dhyan.

I published CD, book and everything. It is open to all. People ask me; Swamiji we should copyright it. I said no! No, no copyright, no question of hiding. It is completely available. I printed in book form. Not only in book form, even a website is available. If you go to our website you can download the instructions and practice. People ask me; if you put it in the website and publish as a CD, who will come to the meditation program? I said; that's okay.

Just because you're not able to come to the meditation workshop, it is not that you should not meditate. There may be so many reason. One; maybe you may not be able to pay the money, you may not be able to spend two days or you may belong to some other religion. The society may not allow you to come and sit in my program. There may be so many reasons, but that's not the thing you should not meditate and from our side we also are able to run everything all the time without any commitment. See, sometime even if you give free of cost people don't respect, people don't respect and not only that in the society you have to run. See the practical side of it, so I tell people; if even if I get legal money from people to conduct a medication workshop again that money will be spent in searching to spread more people, that's all.

[01:13:58] To reach more people. Then why not directly do that. It's available in the website, it's available openly. That's the essence of my knowledge, that's the essence of my research and development. Whatever I did in my whole research, that is the essence. You are welcome to practice that.

People ask me; if you open the door like this to everything, to everybody how can people come to .. why will they come to the meditation workshop? I tell them: even if they don't come it's okay, if they'll learn from the website and practise that's enough, that's enough. It is time to save the planet Earth, not to do the business understand. If you're too much into the business, if you're too much into the marketing after thirty years I don't think planet Earth will be there and let me be very clear, let me tell you also, if you want your kids, grandkids to have the planet Earth start working to spread the meditation. If you're not interested, if you put all your time in creating a bigger house, bigger office, bigger car… be very clear your son will not be able to drive that car, your son will not be able to live in that house, your son will not be able to use that office.

[01:15:20] I'm not threatening you, I'm telling the fact. There are enough of the dangers on the planet. Dangerous by the unconscious leaders who are piling weapons, nuclear weapons after weapons. As on today planet Earth has got nuclear weapons, enough nuclear weapons to burn planet Earth 700 times. Not once or twice. Burning once is enough. 700 times you can burn the planet Earth! So much of nuclear weapons is getting pilled.

[01:15:57] The mass killing diseases like HIV, Aids and so many other diseases. Apart from all these things, global warming. The reason threat and above all these things - crime rate, crime rate. Maybe your office will be there, maybe your house will be there, but your son can't walk freely on the road which connects your office to the house. He can't walk freely. The crime rate.. understand.

It is time to save the planet Earth, otherwise your house and the office and everything will lose their real estate value. No, true, I have to tell the truth. If you want the real estate value to be the same, save the planet Earth.

Question: How can the best answers come to us?

The best answer can come to you, when you know how to listen to yourself. Listening to yourself means silence, whatever you know as you. Your higher self will connect with you. Whatever you know as you is only your lower Self.

Just silence that. That is meditation, your higher self will take over you.

Question: I want to feel more connection to the Divine, but usually it comes during practice of some technique.. I block it, become Self Doubts. How can I reach... oh God, there are few words that I'm not able to read ... all of my mind, thoughts. How can I get over the doubts. Just feel practicing?

Just keep practicing! That's a nice question. Whenever you have a doubt, surrender the doubt and the faith at the feet of the master.

You see, Master is a person who gives you the faith and he's the same person who keeps you the doubt. Tell the Master; see it is you that gave me the fate in you, it is you also who gave doubt also about you. I'm surrendering both of your feet. Leave me. I don't want to play this game. I don't want to play this game, I have suffered enough with all your game, have both. Leave me.

[01:18:36] When you surrender both at his feet, you will see, something called trust will happen in you, which is neither doubt, nor faith. Trust - courage to experiment the truth. Whenever you get the doubt, decide; I had enough fun with you. I know you are the person who gave the fate, you are the person who's giving the doubt. Have both and leave me and that's the best way to get out of the doubt.

Question: can a person go into a meditative state unless he has learned to control his mind?

Controlling his mind and controlling his senses is only a word. Only through meditation control will happen. You will not even be controlling, it'll happen directly. It will happen, if you try to control it is like if you're trying to pull your shoelace and fly. Can you pull your shoelaces and fly? No! That is what is trying to control your mind with the mind. It is impossible.

Question… Control his senses, free from attachments, desire to discover yourself…

Big, big words you must have read in some book and relax from all these big, big words. Just meditate all this things will happen as a side effect, as a side effect, as a byproduct.

One young Brahmachari, Navis, new guy, goes to an elderly monk in the monastery and asks: “Sir, how long it takes to control the mind and get rid of the bad thoughts?”

The monk says: “how long, how long.. I don't know how long but not till ninety.” So controlling is not going to work until ninety. Meditate, transforming will happen. You will not be bothered at all, you will not be touched at all. It will neither come, nor go. It will just be. You are.

Question; Is it our birthright as human beings to be provided for on all levels while we are embodied on earth… oh, this is a question very contradicting.

Is it our birthright as humans to be provided for on all levels while we are embodied in the Earth?

[01:21:12] Birth itself is not your right. Where is the question comes - Birthright. You think taking birth is your right? It's a gift, so I feel anything given to you is a gift. There is nothing called Birthright.

Birth itself is a gift. The word birthright is wrong. Its self contradicting, because taking birth itself is not your right. Did you work somewhere and get it as a salary. I worked in Kailash for 20 years now give me a hundred years check on the planet Earth. No!

So birth herself is a gift to you, so I can't say something is birthright in our life. Anything which is showered on you is showered, gifted. We should be grateful to it.

Question: I beg to ask to understand from your mouth about the contents of the Atma Spurana course which is being conducted by you in the coming two days, Saturday and Sunday. I'm still not able to understand how this course is going to benefit me?

This is a nice question. I can promote the course now. Understand two things, the Atma Spurana program is basically designed to sit with the Master. It is from type three Upanishads.

See, when a meditation technique is done with a master, it becomes alchemy process. If you do it alone in your home it is called meditation. When you do it along with the master in presence of the master, by guided by the master it becomes alchemy.

It is like boiling you, it is like boling you. The process becomes so alive, intense in two days so much can happen. It's like...two things; meditation and the presence of the Master. See, a small story; one young lady did not learn cooking before marriage. Usually those days people used to, women used to learn cooking before marriage. Now it is jumping into college so many this and that things. Cooking is unnecessary, but after a marriage they have to cook, what to do? They get some all cooking books and experiment on their husband. That poor guy guinea pig, has to go through the whole experiment.

Like this one girl, got hold of some book, after marriage trying to make caseline, one south Bharatn sweet. She is keeping the book in the one hand, put the vessel on the furnace, she put the vessel, put half a kg rabba, she put ... add water half a litter, add a little sugar and go on mixing it for 20 minutes. Now the caseline is ready, she did everything, but caseline did not happen after 20 minutes, because the book did not say light the furnace. Put fire, the book did not say put fire. Same way, when you're doing meditation on your own, sometime you forget to put fire.

Master's presence is fire, it'll ensure the product, the alchemy happens. It'll ensure the alchemy happens. That's why we called Upanishads. Upanishads means sitting with a master. The very Upanishades can do a good job, can transform you. This program is based on type three Upanishads. You will go through five meditation, five layer. See you bring so many some samskara from the animal body, whether you believe it or not you go through the reincarnation. You go through many births. You bring many samskaras and engrams from many body's, so unless you release all of them, you can't elevate your presents, you can't elevate your existence to a different plane.

[01:25:48] So, this course will help you to release those engrams and samskaras and to transform you to the next level and we'll work on all five layers. Five layer means, first physical layer, annamaya kosha which you're having in your body, the body with the flesh and bones. This is called the physical layer. Second Pranamaya, all the breathing, air process happening, prana process in your being. Inhaling, exhaling and the process of receiving the energy from the breathing or cleaning. We call that as a five prana: prana, apana, vyana, udana, samana………... Inhaling, staying, spreading all over your skin, exhaling and cleaning. All these five prana, will be working on the five prana. That's the second layer. Air.

The third layer is your inner chattering. Your being has got five part. First part is the physical body, flesh and bones. Second part is the air process, the inhaling and exhaling which is happening in you. Third part is your inner chattering, constant inner chattering. Whether you're sitting, standing, watching TV or movie, washing your clothes or cooking there will be somebody talking inside. The radio which you can't switch off. The TV that you can't switch off. The inner chattering, that's the third layer.

Fourth layer, your intense emotions. Emotions that you can't handle. Emotions which does not listen to your logic, addiction, all emotions which does not listen to your logic. That's the fourth part.

The fifth part will be a deep silence. In the deep sleep what you experience. That silence. So all these five are parts of your being. We will be working all this five to clear, so that your self - the atman will radiate through your body and mind. See whether you believe it or not you are enlightened. The same consciousness which is in me is there in you, only thing I have purified my five layers, so that that light can radiate through me. I have become like a glass, so that the light can penetrate. You are like a wall. That light is not able to come out. Making your wall as a glass is the Atmaspurana. I just break the wall and put window, that's all. Breaking the wall and putting the window is what I call Atmasprurana. I think I have done my job.

Alright let us enter into the today's sutra. It's a beautiful sutra [SINGING SANSKRIT].

Beautiful shloka. SPEAKING SANSKRIT

If one listens, while listening, one listens to the string instruments here, hear the composed central sound does achieve the ultimate consciousness, the nature of Bhairava.

Understand, the same thing, going authentically into the peak and valley. Not being split when you travel through the peak or valley. That is the same essence of this technique. While listening to the stringed instruments, when listening to some sound, music just sit with the backbone. You see, like when your backbone is holding your body together, all parts of the body together, behind every music there is one line, one thread. Don't bother about the notes, the peaks and valleys. There is something which is the thread of the music, backbone of the music. Just try to dig, go to that backbone, depth of the music. Especially Bharatn music is created for meditation. One more thing, understand anything which comes out of enlightenment, will take you to the enlightenment. Expression, if you imbibe the expression, it'll lead to the same experience. If a music comes from an enlightened consciousness, if you just imbibe that with the receptivity, it'll take you to the same enlightenment experience.

There is a beautiful saying in Tamil. There was a great poet and saint MaNickavasagar. His works, if you don't melt for his words you will never melt. There is a saying; somebody who does not melt for his words, will never melt in the life, because his expressions are directly from enlightenment. Directly from enlightenment. When you listen, when you relax with receptivity they will straightaway lift you to that experience. The other day I was reading article about this art therapy. It was nice, funny article. They say that mad people, if they're asked to paint, they paint wildly, they poor the paint on the canvas and do all kinds of things, more than the paining they do on the canvas they paint on their body. So while they're allowed to do this for one week or thirty days. One week or one month, everyday, slowly the madness comes down and they get healed. You will be surprised, I was also surprised, like a catharsis. They throw everything away and the second discovery that is an important thing: all people that have become mad because of money, they all paint or do the work same way. Same kind of reactions they do.

Almost their paintings are same. Same way they react, if they're allowed to paint. All the people who have become mad because of women are name and fame. They all react in the same way. When I was surprised of the third thing. One if they're allowed to paint, they do catharsis. Whatever is inside it comes out. Next thing, the reason for their madness is expressed clearly in their paining. Third thing: the doctor who was studying all these things deeply - become mad.

No, true! This show's three things to us. One: experience only expresses.

If somebody studies that expression deeply, thoroughly he reaches the same experience. Experience expresses. If somebody thoroughly studies that expression, he experiences the same thing. That's the same philosophy.

[01:34:40] When a great enlightened being, when they sing raga raga, the great Masters Anamacharya, Manikavasaka, all these great Masters, when they sing they express their experience. When you are receptive, when you don't bother about the words or the notes. When you go to the core, just relax with that music and try, try to see the thread, the backbone, the composite central sound - suddenly you will see that you are experiencing the same thing from where the expression came out. If it comes out of the heart you will reach the same space. If it comes out of the root chakra, muladhara chakra, you will experience the same. That is why, the musician, what state of mind they live, the same impact they will create on you. He will create on you. If you're sitting and listening to those music. Understand, if it comes from enlightenment, it'll lead to enlightenment. All Bharatn music is designed for meditation, is designed for enlightenment. Bharatn dance, designed for enlightenment. That is why the person who performs and the person who sits and experiences both experience the meditative state. Bharatn music is designed for enlightenment. Hier Shiva says, by listening to the string instrument hear their composite Central sound, backbone. Now we are going to do the meditation. Now we are going to practice. Backbone, through that way the experiencing the backbone of the music, achieve the state of Bhairava.

Mens the backbone of all the Nada, sound happening on the planet Earth is Nadabrahma. Nadabrahma means cosmic existence, the existence of the cosmos is the sound. See Anadatha Dhwani is not a Brahma. The sound which is hidden in all sounds. The sound which is base for all sounds. For a painting canvas is base. For all the sounds Nadabrahma, Anadatha Dhwani is base. When you go to the base, compozit central sound of any sound you will reach the Anadatha Dhwani, you will reach the Nadabrahma and you will experience the Brahma. Means don't bother about the notes, go to the center. Means being authentic with that music. Not sitting and thinking; what will I do next? Some people actually, when you sit and listen to music and you remember the life and the incidents of your own life and you react to it.

Usually in Bharat when somebody dies, the whole village will gather and they will start crying. They don't cry for the person who died, they remember their sufferings. Most of them remember their sufferings and they cry. That's like a place for katarzis. Because when the person is alive, nobody would have cared even give a glass of water. No really.

There is a beautiful one liner I read. The grandfather when he lived, he always lived in the outside house. He came inside the house as a photograph after his death. His photograph will be kept in the living room, but he would have lived only in the outhouse. That is the life. When he lived, nobody would have cared, but when he died the whole village will gather. I've seen in Bharatn villages. Oh God, there's a big celebration actually. Like a catharsis, the whole village will gather and it'll be really fun and one more thing. I've seen in my own house when my grandmother died. She died in age of one hundred and three and all these fellows were waiting for her to die because she was hitting on the property. She had a lot of jewels, the sharing was supposed to be done. It can be done only after she dies. Actually that death was turning point in my life. I understood the hypocrisy of this Society. I had the tremendous respect for the elders. That death took away all my respect for my elders and I was I was liberated from social conditionings.

I understood the social hypocrisy, because that lady, that grandmother who passed away… she's not even my grandmother. My grandmother's my grandfather's elder brother's wife. Hundred and three and that lady… in the old days these ladies they would chew the tobacco. She would always call me and tell me: “Hey, go and buy me tobacco from the corner house”. In the corner, every street corner there will be a shop. She will tell: “Hey, go and buy the tobacco from that chitiya house and bring, the corner house.” I'll tell: “Give money.”

She will tell: “ No, no take from your father.” Then I had to go to my father would say, all right, I'll give money. I will go any buy the tobacco and there are one or two [01:41:05] pieces are remaining. For that I can buy some toffee for me. So I'll bring..

...because that is the...and who cares about her tobacco? I'll tell that shopp fellow: “First give my toffee then if you have little remaining money then give little tobacco for her” and I'll be chewing my toffee I'll bring the tobacco for her and she'll be sitting and chewing.

On the day when she died the first thing I saw, let me describe the scene then you'll understand…and one more thing in our house we had a big well.

The house is like an eighty thousand square feet house. Old, traditional house with all the teak wood and that stone, that kind of a construction. Eighty thousand square feet house and so many families were living together .

Nobody knows who's wife, whose husband, who's daughter. It's like each one will have one one room. That's all it will be and always like a big kitchen. Whoever comes will be eating and in the center of the house there was a big well and the opposite to the house one doctor was there. Someones doctor. [01:42:00]

During some drought, water drought, this lady is not even ready to give water to that doctor.

The opposite house means usually in Bharat you will go and fetch water from somebody's neighbor, neighbors well and all those things. Those days there was no corporation water. City does not provide water so you need to manage your own. So, she's not even ready to give water for the doctor.

Whenever they come this lady will hide the vessel which is used for fetching the water. She will take it and hide it in her room and she will say:” No, no water”.

I used to think why? After all the well is there and so much water is there. It's not going to get empty, but she will not give water, but the last water she drank was given by that doctor.

The doctor only came and took care of her. When she was pulling, when she was about to dye the doctor only came and took care.

I thought throughout the life this lady is not even ready to give water to him and now she's leaving the tank and leaving that well and dying. That's a big well, that's a big well. She's leaving that as well and dying and that guy who was refused water he's only taking care of him, her and pouring water.

That's the first lesson. Second thing, this lady will tell, whenever she sends me for tobacco... I will take money from my father, she will not give.

But after she died, they pulled that big iron box under her bed. The traditional iron thing in which they keep the money and jewels and all those things. When they pulled this out at least 2, 3 kg silver coins and I don't know how much of gold were there and diamonds. Gold and diamonds. The whole box was filled with the jewelleries. Those days silver coins, those days the coins were silver with the [01:44:10] plain dependent stain .

Those coins, kgs of coins and the gold jewelers and the diamonds. All those power omen, all those things.

I thought; of God if she would have given a little bit to that chettiar, all life I would have had my toffees and she could have her tobacco.

Now she left everything and died. Neither she had her tobacco and nor I had my toffees and so much jewels and money was there inside just under her bed and this lady was such a miser.

She was not ready to share when she was alive. She was telling, if I give now itself nobody will take care of me and she was sitting on it. On the saree. Still I remember that sarees which she used, they melted and got kgs of silver and gold out of that saree.

[01:45:16] Those silk sarees, they use the original silver and gold. So much of silver and gold they got just from her sarees. So much as she had but never lived and the next one - the is the most important thing - when doctor declared that's she's dead. Usually in Bharat they don't take to hospital and that.

The doctor will come to the house and he will declare, people will be waiting for that.

Ones doctor declares... these guys will pour little Ganges water. That's another one technique, The Ganges if you keep it in your house for years naturally it will be half poison now. When they are pulling and pushing if you pour this water, what will happen?

It's just saying; get ready quick, quick and I saw these guys pouring this Ganges water like a ritual. Oh, I understood the drama, what good drama going on and when the doctor declared the shes death. All… I was there and all the relatives were there, my mother was there, my father elder brother's wife and my father's sister all the relatives were there.

Nobody cried. All of them went in their room to change the saree to a simple saree. and to change all the diamond jewel to a simple jewelry. All of them went and usually whatever they wear, they will be wearing costly things and costly saree. They went and changed that normal, simple saree and simple jewelry. Thill they did all those decorations, make up and came back to that same room, nobody cried.

When they did all those things, got ready to appear in their public to show that they are now morning, they're expressing their sadness. Only when they came back suddenly they started shouting: “Ooooh Fati [01:47:05] , you left us and went away ....”

I said, oh God!

You should have died, you should have cried when doctor declared she's dead. See, immediately the suffering should have come, the emotion should have come but there was not. Not a single fellow was crying and there was no tears, when doctor declared she is dead. I was just eleven year old boy. Eleven or twelve year old boy. I was just watching, what is this? Till you change the saree you will not feel the suffering, you won't feel the sorrow and these fellows all of the went all to the room changed the jewels and everything to their rooms. Came back and the main hall, the body is there and all the fellows are sitting and crying, shouting: Oh, she left us and went away.

As if she has called this guys to would have come together, gone together. They were crying but after two minutes they just ... finished cleaning the nose and and those things and they sat and said:” How are you? What happened?”

Just they're relaxed and sitting and they're having coffee also and suddenly some relative, some uncle or aunt or somebody commes, immediately they start: “ Ohhh, Uncle, she left us and went away!”

I thought, what is there, either you're crying continuously or you don't cry but the moment some relatives come they start.

I think he's hiding his laughter… Actually that is what happens sometimes. They can't say, they can't express that they are laughing so he hides his face makes as if his also suffering.

As if he is also in sadness. That guy also sits and all of the five, six times they do like this and cries and says: “Oh, she left us and went away.” - and again clean the nose and next moment and they're okay..

“How is your mother-in-law? How is your daughter-in-law? What happened to that jewelry and did you buy that new house? Is it okay?”

The body is there and after a few minutes if some other relative will come and again the whole drama starts. I was actually shocked. What is going on?

It means what? Two, three lessons. First thing: if you live as a miser life without you enjoying or sharing you will leave everything once for all and go away. First thing. Second thing: people if you don't help, I think you will be dependent on the same people. The doctor. Third: important thing, the whole thing is just hypocrisy. The dead body is there, still they have not even taken the dead body to the crematorium. Before all these family guys are now thinking, talking about getting a Goldsmith [01:50:15] to divide those jewelries and it's all traditional uncut diamond. Gold, diamond so now you have to get a Goldsmith to share, to make part to divide those jewelries and these guys are talking who should be brought before even this body was even cremated.

I thought this lady she herself did not enjoy and she left and died and these fellows, what are they going to do? They will also live the same way and die and for that they are fighting before even the body is taken to the crematorium and all these daughters. Usually daughters don't share in the will.

They receive share in the jewelry. They're all sitting there. Unless they receive their share they're not ready to allow the body to be taken away and I was shocked. Oh God! I thought first, when I saw that the first thing I understood I lost respect for all these social set up.

I understood this whole thing is just utility value. Father, mother, son, daughter, whole thing is just hypocrisy. It is there for some utility. Then I started laughing. When I started laughing, one of my uncle: “Hey, cry! Now you're not supposed to laugh”. I said:” No! I know you fellows are acting.”

He just gave me two, three beatings and said: ”Cry now!”

I said: “ If you beat once more, I'll tell all the people who are coming that you guys did not cry when she died. You guys went to your room and did all the changing of the saree and dress and everything and only then you came and cried and I will tell everybody you guys are calling Goldsmith for sharing that jewels and the moment she died first thing they did is, they sent the doctor away and pulled the drawer out and opened it. They did not even bring that body to the main room, to the main hall and I will tell that to everybody.”

Then another one uncle is shouting: “Hey, don't beat him, he may tell that, he may tell that. He may do what he says, keep quiet. Let him be locked in the room. “They put me in one room and locked me. No actually they put in one room and locked, till the ceremony goes, ended this fellow should not be allowed outside.

He may talk to people and tell that whatever we did and actually in that room I can say, the truth landed on. I can say that was a major turning point. Major turning point.

I understood the whole thing is just hypocrisy, pure hypocrisy and I saw the way in which they are crying and the way they acted. It was a big joined family, big joined family and all houses are next next, next, next one full street. Part, part, part.. only one small wall would be there between every house but the construction itself is same.

Same kind of construction. You will have like one brother, one brother, one brother. It's like a partition inside the familys. It's like that. All the fellows are...

I saw step by step reaction of every person. How they reacted and what was the aim. Everybody is working, what is there for me in that situation, that's all. Pure hypocrisy. I lost respect for my family and after I saw two, three deaths in other families I lost respect for the whole society.

I thought only in my family they are like this. Then I saw two, three deaths in other families, I understood this is the same drama the whole society, with the whole society.

They're aiming only towards stuff. What is there for me in the situation? Whole thing is just hypocrisy. The whole thing is hypocritical drama.

Understand, I was telling you about this meditation, somehow I remember how the turning point happened in me. Anyhow, about this crying I was telling. People go to all these death places and cry. It's like a catharsis, it's just like a catharsis. Just they wanted to get rid of their emotion. When you are crying also, you do not cry for the person who is dead. You think of your own suffering and cry. Same way when you are sitting and listening to some music, inside your mind you'll be thinking about your incidents that happened in your own life.

Don't do that, don't do that. When you listen to the music go to the core - central composite sound of the music. You can do that only if you stop thinking about some other incidents connected. Usually when you see a rose you will remember all the roses which you've presented or which was presented to you and the memory of people to whom you presented. Whether he refused or accepted, those memories and you will sleep. The music will be going on, but you are lost.

Don't do that. Catch the center composite sound. That can happen if you're not thinking about anything else, if you're authentic with this music. If you do that you will relax, merge in Nadabrahma [01:56:08] .

You will experience the same space from where the expression comes out. Let's enter into the meditation.

I wanted to add one more thing about the death which I saw at the age of 12 or 11. After a few hours of sitting inside that room, so much of contemplation and so much crying.

Actually, first in the beginning I was crying because I'm locked in the room.Then I thought slowly, slowly I started thinking. How these guys behave. Started thinking how they are hypocrite and I understood the whole thing.

I decided neither I'm going to laugh nor I'm going to cry because I don't feel you see…. All I felt was a little sadness because I missed my toffee. Now who will send me for tobacco. All I bothered about was, at that age, I will not have my toffee and I did not have any suffering or sadness that she died, so I am not going to cry.

Same way, I will not laugh because I understood about these fools. Why should I laugh?

Third thing; if at all I can do something, what can I do to help that soul?

I heard from my elders, from the local Swamis, with whom I used to have a lot of relationship, with the spiritual Masters, you should chant Gita when somebody dies. I started doing that. I called and just knocked to the room. They came and said; “Why do you want to come out?”

I said I will not disturb anybody. Just open the door and they opened the door.

I had a Gita book I brought and I read the Gita book.

I still remember clearly, the whole eighteenth chapter I was sitting in one corner, read.

I feel that I help that soul. First Soul which was helped by me after death. Still I remember and it was such a wonderful experience. I don't know how much that Soul has been helped.

At least I've been helped by that experience. Still the whole thing is there in the mind as a vivid memory because that was a turning point.

Recently we played some of the photographs taken at the time. Fotograph, we are able to trace me sitting in one corner, small boy with Bhagavad Gita book and reading. When I remember the whole thing - oh, God. Nice understanding about the life and hypocrisy of life, okay.

So, let's enter into the meditation. Understand, now you will be listening to a certain music. Do not think for or against that music. Don't say it is good, don't say it is bad, don't start thinking all the music you have heard. Don't start comparing all the musics which you heard or don't start thinking about the musicians all which you heard. No! No going away from this music. Go into that music.

Try, try to ...along with that notes there is a center sound, rhythm, backbone of the music. Try to feel that center, backbone of the music. You will relax into the Anadatha Dhwani. Nada Brahma. Base of the sound. Please close your eyes.
