“Just trying to give a small diagram, how the mind works.”

Just trying to give a small diagram, how the mind works. Maybe then we will see, how, what I mean by the word Escape into Life. Hmm….

See your mind or life is nothing but future becoming past. Understand ?. I am making few statements, if you have any doubt, just pen down the question. Life, your life as and now is nothing but future becoming past. Continuously if your future is becoming past, that is what is time, that is what is life.

If I take this as a time, the future is just becoming past. Constantly the future is becoming past. Are you able to see anything ? This group they cannot see.

Bhaktapriya just adjust this… ( side conversation). This side ?

Future is just disappearing into past and the space where the future and past meets, that point is what we call present. This moment . Understand ? Constantly your future is disappearing into past, maybe I can call this as a time shaft. Time is like a shaft, constantly rotating and disappearing into the past. Future is disappearing into past. The point where the future and past meets is the present moment.Your mind is nothing but jumping between what you know as life is your mind. Your mind is nothing but jumping between this past and future, constantly jumping between this past and the future. Am I right ?

You cannot have a single thought if you are in the present moment. Understand ?

You cannot have single thought if you are in the present moment. Thought means jumping from past to future, future to past.

mins

Constant, your mind is actually not noun; it’s a verb. It is not noun. It is a verb. It is a constantly jumping. It is jumping from here to there, here to there, here to there. How many times you jump from past to future and future to past: that many number of thoughts you are having every second. Constantly jumping from past to future, future to past - this is the way your mind works. For example, if you are 100 times jumping from past to future, past to future, past to future to past, 100 times if you are jumping per second, you have 100 thoughts per second. But it is not 100. I’m just assuming. It may be few thousands! Because 100 is too small. A few thousands, at least. Constantly jumping between past to future, future to past is what we call thoughts. If you are jumping past to future, future to past 100 times per second, I’m just taking as a example. 100 times per second, we may call it as a 100 TPS, thoughts per second. 100 thoughts per second: TPS.

See if you are in 100 TPS means you are away from the present moment. Am I right? You are far away from the present moment. Just jumping! Constantly jumping! I think you know what I mean by constantly jumping. If you just try to sit in meditation that time, suddenly, you will see whole Pandora box is opening! Everything is coming out! What all you don’t want to remember, everything will be there in the front. Anything you say ‘no,’ it will take revenge on you. That is the basic nature. Anything you try to exclude, that will be there first. In the front. So constantly if you are jumping between past and future, 100 times if you are jumping per second means 100 TPS. So you are completely away from the present moment. For example, sometimes, if the TPS comes down, maybe 80 we call it, then you are little near to the present, because this is the present moment. Where the future and past meet is the present moment. You are little closer to present moment. If the thoughts per second comes down, 60, you are little more closer to the present moment. If it can come down to 0 TPS, you are in present moment. Am i right ? If it can come down to 0 TPS, you are in present moment.

Coming down to the 0 TPS is all about spirituality. Spirituality is nothing but trying to 0 it down. Just bringing you to the 0 TPS is all what we call meditation, spirituality, enlightenment, whatever you may call it! Inner science. Maybe the inner science is the right word. The science for inner transformation.

mins

See in the East, just like the West, there is so much of research and development was going on in the outer world. Science of outer world. In the east , there was so much of research and development was going on. The science of the inner world, science of inner transformation, so much of research and development was going on. 10,000 years of research and development. because at least 10,000 year old literatures we’re finding. We are able to discover 10,000 year old literatures. 10,000 year old research and development and at least 1 million inner scientists. And more than 10 million inner science laboratories are still available in Bharat. Every day, congregation happens in 10 million laboratories. In Bharat, we have temples and ashrams where congregation happens every day. 10 million means 1 crore. And more than a billion people following the technology. the whole thing is aimed at this one point: how to bring you down to 0 TPS. That’s all!

One more thing: when your TPS is too high, you will not/ you will neither be clear with the past or future because you’re seeing the past or future from this tent. And you’re constantly busy in jumping to other corner, other side. when you are in the past, already you are thinking of the next step. For example, morning when you are out of your bed and when you start brushing, already you are thinking about your office. if you are sitting in the office, already you are thinking about evening beach. If you are sitting in the beach, already you are planning about going back to the home. If you are sitting in the home, you are already started planning about what to do next tomorrow. So one thing is sure: if you are here, you are not here. If you are here, you are not here. We are very clear about it. The past and the future because you are too busy in jumping. We neither look into the past nor look into the future properly. If your TPS comes down, your vision towards the past and the future will become more clear. Understand? Now it may look like a too big promise. If i say ‘your TPS comes down, you will experience peace,’ you can believe. But I am making a statement: if your TPS comes down, you can see your future clearly. Now this looks to be a too big promise. Understand, from this point you can see only this much (indicating diagram). This much your past and this much your future. In this point, 80 TPS, you can see a little more. If your TPS comes down, you can see a little more. At this point, you can see more. When I say ‘if your TPS, thoughts per second, comes down, you can see your past and future more clearly,’ it may look like a too big promise.

For example, let you understand this one example. Sometime when you are in a party, singing and dancing, suddenly, you remember somebody is going to come or some incident is going to happen. In 5 minutes you will see that person is there. When the telephone rings, suddenly, you will remember some friend’s name whom you have not seen from last 5 years. When you pick up the phone, he will be there. When the doorbell rings, you will remember some relative’s name who has not seen you or who has not visited you for 6/7 years. When you open the door, he’s standing. How many of you had, like this, some incident in your life at least once or twice? Raise your hand. God! Practically everybody!

mins

Understand, you see, when actually when incident happens what we do in our mind? Coincidence. That’s what we tell in our mind, na? That’s the way we handle it: “Oh, just coincidence. Forget about it!”

If it happens in one person’s life once, you can call it as a coincidence. if it can happen in 90% of, if 90% of you have experienced this in your life, how can this be just a coincidence?

Surely something more than coincidence means, knowingly or unknowingly, those few moments, your TPS has dropped. It can drop even by sudden shocks. It can drop even by sudden shock. IF you are in completely relaxed, really enjoying, TPS can drop. Even by sudden shock, it can drop. Sometime that suddenly telephone ringing or doorbell ringing, your TPS can drop. When TPS drop, you saw the future just 5 minutes of your future. You saw the future, for just a glimpse of future, few minutes! You cant push it aside in the name of coincidence. If it is happening in so many lives, if it happens in 1 person’s life once, you can say, “Oh coincidence! Forget about it.” But 90% of the lives!

13: 14 mins

When you try to bring this TPS down, when you come more and more close to the present moment, your are idea about your past, even that, will become clear. Understand. Now, you don’t even know your past completely. You will remember only the incidents which are connected to your engrams, your samskaras. Not everything about past. People tell me, “Swamiji, we will understand our future, how do you see we will understand our past? Don’t we know our past?” No. You don’t know your past as it happened. You know only as you want it. You remember your past only as you want because you are not fully aware. You are constantly jumping between past and future, past and future, past and future. One more thing: because you are constantly jumping, you reproduce the same old past into your future. It is like you have in one … one pot some dirty thing and another one pot some good food or sweets or fruits. If some fly is flying between these two constantly, from this dirt to food, what will happen? Whole dirt will settle on the food!

Same thing you are doing when you jump between past and future, past and future, past and future. You reproduce your past into future. You just reproduce your past into future. Maybe you alter little bit, that’s all. See when you sit in the home and worry, it is homework. When you sit in the office and worry, it is profession. When you sit in the beach and worry, it is vacation. That’s all. You may just change the place, but the life is going to be same! Jumping between the past and future, constantly, you will naturally reproduce the same past into future. People ask me, “Swamiji, our future is open.” Or they have something like ‘fate.’ If you are intelligent enough to interfere, your future is open. If you are not intelligent enough to make conscious decision and interfere, the same program, the CD will go on. It is like a CD player. You put a CD and that will constantly playing. If you are intelligent enough to handle it, you can do fast forward or rewind or jump the track or even switch it off. But if you are just keeping quiet, not intelligent enough, it will play the same way till it gets scratched and repeats the same line. That old gramophone records, if you see, sometime, it will not even go to the next line. Doiiiiing! Doiiiing! Doiiiing! So much! It went through the same way. It got scratched!

16: 35 mins

When a CD gets scratched, what goes on inside you, is what I call worrying. Same line you will be repeating. You will not even go to the next line. Constantly repeating the same line inside. Till you become conscious and aware, enter into your own life, and try to bring down the TPS, the life will be fate and fatal. If you work on bringing the TPS down, future is your conscious choice. It is in your hands. Trying to bring the TPS down is the purpose of all meditation techniques, the whole spirituality, the essence of the inner science. When you bring the TPS down, you escape into life. See even the presence of an enlightened master, why it is so important, you are in 100 TPS means, he is in 0 TPS. When you come near a being who is in 0 TPS, suddenly your TPS drops. Fortunately, his TPS does not go up. Because fortunately, somehow once it becomes 0, there is no reason it can go up. There is no seed or samskara. It can go up. He is saved. Whenever you come near a person, being who lives in 0 TPS, automatically your TPS drops. Suddenly, it drops. That is the reason we go and sit in the presence of enlightened beings, the presence of enlightened masters. That’s such big miracles! The whole inner science is trying to bring the TPS down.

So try to bring the TPS down. This Nithyadhyan which you did, all of you did, is the technique or the method, I may say, the best possible help can happen in your inner space. Understand.

Scientist is the person who creates a formula to reproduce the understanding or the product of the outer world. Newton had some understanding about what was happening in the outer world. He saw the apple falling from the tree. Something clicked in him! Of course, if we saw, two things will happen: either you will pick up and eat or will forget about it. But something has happened in him. He created a formula to reproduce that same understanding in all of us. The Newton’s theory. Scientist is the person who creates a formula to reproduce the understanding or the product of the outer world.

Mystic, enlightened being is a person who creates formula to reproduce the experiences of the inner being, inner science. Enlightened masters is the person who creates the formula, meditation technique, to reproduce the same experience which happened to him in the inner world. So Nithyadhyan is the formula I have created to reproduce the same experience - 0 TPS experience happened in me - in you.

mins

Just carry the Nithyadhyan, you will escape into life. You will escape into life. Now, I am open to your questions. You can please put it in paper, piece of paper, and hand over. Yes, you can have the cards. I will answer your questions. If you concentrate your questions on this subject, it will be nice. We can internalize these few things.

Yes..

Q: It is a beautiful question. First question: what is the quickest way to get 0 TPS? First thing, drop this idea of ‘quickest.’ That is the way to get to 0 TPS. See that very hurry or the restlessness to make it quickest, quickest, quickest, you will be in 100 TPS. Because the very idea that I should, I should, I should, what it means? Already the TPS has started increasing. First thing, see, somebody goes to Ramanamaharshi and asks, “Bhagavan, I want peace.”

Bhagavan says, “Just drop that ‘I’ and ‘want,’ you have peace.”

So all you need to do is drop this idea: quickest, quickest, quickest. You are in 0 TPS.

Collect all those things (to someone).

Hurrying is worrying.

Q: Oh ! some beautiful question: Explain the chakras. How do you bring awareness to the 7 chakras?

It’s more like a, just remember that place, that space, that’s all! Nothing else needs to be done. Do not try to exclude other things. And other things will try to come and sit on you. Just try to remember that space in a very casual and relaxed way. Nothing else is required. That will take care of the bringing awareness to the chakras, in a very relaxed way.

mins

Q: What is your TPS? Somebody is asking.

0 is the TPS I am living. That is why I am enjoying. That is why I am escaping into life.

Q: How do you know if we are seeing the future or not imagining it?

Understand. The moment you start seeing the future, you will not even have the doubt whether you are imagining or seeing. As long as you have this doubt whether you are seeing or imagining, you are imagining. If you are seeing, you will not have the doubt. Whether I am seeing or imagining, that clarity will be so clear.

People ask me, “Swamiji, how do I know whether I became enlightened or not?”

I tell them, “This question will disappear.” As long as you have this question, be very clear, you have not become enlightened. Still you have to work. When you really see the future, the question and the doubt will disappear.

Q : How does one integrate envisioning a specific future they want to manifest with a 0 TPS ?

Oh ! It is a beautiful question.

ah! How does one integrate envisioning the specific future they want to manifest with a 0 TPS ?

Actually in the 0 TPS, instead of you planning, you will let the cosmos to plan for you, and understand, the whole , the cosmos is really intelligent than you. (laughter )….That is the only thing you need to understand. And it will surely plan much better than you, for you.

So i don’t think you will be able to plan or create a specific future in 0 TPS. So in 0 TPS you will not bother to even do all that and there won’t be any specific future. If you have a specific future, you cannot be 0 TPS. In 0 TPS it will just be fun. All you know is best thing is happening to you. See we have a beautiful word in sanskrit “ Shiva” . The sanskrit word Shiva means causeless, intense, auspiciousness. You can look at the life in two ways. One what ever is happening to you is the best thing, which can happen to you. or whatever is happening to you is less than your qualification. One kind of looking into the life. “I think little more could have happened to me. I am qualified for much better things or No best thing that can happen to me is happening”. You can look at the life from both ways. You can .. See, even if what others things as the best thing , even if that happens to you , you can always complain, find some complaint. You can always find some complaint, small story. One guy he had some heart problem. Fortunately or unfortunately he won $100M in lottery. Wife is afraid to tell this news information to the husband. She is afraid that he may suddenly get the heart attack and die. because the shock will be too much. $100 M is too much, he has never seen $1M in his life. $100M may take away his life. So she asked, approached the local priest , asked the priest can you help me ? The local priest said don’t bother, I know your husband for last 25 years , i will talk to him, and see that the message is conveyed to him without giving a shock. He goes to the person, slowly starts talking. I think you are going to have a good fortune . That guys says no no no forget about it, my whole life i lived, nothing , no good things happens in my life. He says no no no , priest said i had a dream, god appeared and he told me you are going to have some good fortune. This guy says maybe he has told you but he has not told me,so forget about it.

But the priest said no no no if god tells he will do . The priest started asking if you win $100M in a lottery what will you do ? The guy replied $100M ?I will give half of it to your church.The priest fell and died.. (laughter…)

Understand, the priest just fell and died. Sometime even the most auspicious thing can be inauspicious for you. What you think as auspicious can be inauspicious. People look at the life , you can look at the life in two different ways - the best thing which can happen to you is happening or no no no, it is not. If you start seeing the life , the best thing is happening to me , you are experiencing the consciousness of Shiva, the causeless, intense, auspiciousness. That is the exact translation of the word Shiva. If you translate the sanskrit word into english , the meaning is , Shiva does not mean , ofcourse the name was used to use for a god but the sanskrit translation of that word is causeless, intense, auspiciousness.

When you are, touch the 0 TPS, you will realize life is just causeless, intense, auspiciousness. So you will not have specific future for you to envision. You will know the future by the cosmos is the best thing which can happen to me. It can , you see envision a specific future , it will be the reproduction of your past and you know what is your past. Why do you want to disturb your future ? Atleast leave it for somebody else to plan.

Anyhow so 0 TPS will give you, instead of giving you power, it will give you intelligence. It will give you intelligence to live your future beautifully without bothering about it.

Q. I often meditate for a few months and stop.

It means you are intelligent person. No Really .. No intelligent person can practise any technique continuously. I have seen, see in last 41/2 years of my public life , my mission 1.2M seekers i have initiated. I have initiated 1.2 M seekers , always they come back and tell me this and i tell them means the technique is working on you. Meditation is given to you not to practise continuously, to make you understand you cannot practise continuously. At one point it drops, you cannot. If you are practising continuously be very clear, you made it as a ritual. You are comfortable with it. it is not technique it is dangerous for you. At one point technique has to drop, it will drop . Do any technique intensely it will drop in few months you will not feel it is tasty. Then start doing something else which gives you the, which opens new door, nothing wrong. You dropping some technique or some master after a few month or a year , nothing wrong. Understand, do not carry a guilt. Do not carry guilt. People ask me, that is a big question in the west among the seekers , can i go to some other masters and learn. When i initiate the people, first question they ask . FAQs go to as many gardens as possible and pluck all best flowers and make a bouquet for you. What for ? masters are here to enrich you, it is not like a shop, if you come to my shop don’t go to other shop. No it is not shop. Pluck flowers from all gardens and enrich your life. One more thing, Your ego is such if you learn from 1000s source itself, it won’t die. How do you expect it will die learning from one source ? and one more thing if you work with a master one or two years, you will know, now you will make out all techniques to escape from him. Your mind is very intelligent , not intelligent, cunning . You will know how to survive with that master. You mastered him , you mastered the master so nothing wrong, learn from as many ways as possible , you will see every master enriches you and leads to you next step , leads you to next step.. the next…..level..

Q What is the best way to have a consistent practise and stay with it.

I am saying NO, do not create a consistent practise and stay with it . It is a method of dullness, method to dullness, No you should be able to update yourself. One more thing any technique designed by enlightened being, after some time, either you will lose taste for it or the technique itself will get updated itself. It will not be same, when you change, technique will change. When you are transformed , the technique will also get transformed. You will suddenly see,you are, you may be doing this same system but the technique will not be the same. Suddenly you are updating yourself. So trust your heart and trust your intelligence and go behind it and that is the best thing. That is the best thing. Understand, Trust your intelligence. Your intelligence is intelligent enough to show you to take you to the right master, right technique which can constantly update you, upgrade you. Your heart is much more powerful than any guru or master or technique you find in the outer world . Understand that, trust your heart, it is much more powerful , much more intelligent than any master or any technique which you find in the outer world. People ask me should i remember you constantly , i tell them No… No.. If u cannot forget, as long as you cannot forget me i am your master. The moment you are able to forget me, forget it, start, continue your journey. I am not your master, I have added whatever juice I can add to you, now it is your time carryon and see, you are heart is so powerful it will feel completely connected to the person or to the technique as long as you need to internalize some juice from him or from that technique. Once you received whatever you need to, once you are empowered by the juice or energy from that master or from the technique your heart is powerful enough to guide you further, go with it. Don’t carry guilt. Only one thing, do not go a person who says do not go to others, that is all. That is all. be very clear , have the freedom. One more thing when you stop seeking or updating yourself you are dead. Let that not happen to you.

Q. If you have 0 TPS, are you enlightened ?

Swamiji : Ofcourse i am, whether you believe it or not, whether you accept it or not, whether you understand it or not , it is upto you but I am. And one more thing i want to tell you whether you believe it or not, accept it or not , realize it or not you are also enlightened. That is the truth. Only two thing - you can just accept and enjoy that you are enlightened , you may think No No No I am not . I don’t think i am and suffer. It is your choice . I decided to live my life , luxurious enlightenment, that is all, nothing else and it is your freedom you can also decide to live . See actually when i say , just day before yesterday we had the celebration in our ashram , my first experience day, the buddha purnima day , the first experience of enlightenment in my life, when i say i become enlightened on that day , i had my first experience of

enlightenment i don’t even want you to understand that something has happened to me , i have just decided i will expose my enlightenment, a very clear conscious decision , that is all , that is all you need, nothing else . If you have some standard or frame for enlightenment you will be struggling with it till your end. You will never end. Just relax from the frame and start living luxuriously with the clarity you are enlightened. That is all you need .

Q. How do i overcome jealousy?

See, jealous stops your productivity. If you understand that, if you are jealous, you will be jealousy only your neighbor or your... the person. You see, for example, if you are having million dollar, you will be jealous of person who is having 100 million. Not 100 billion. Do not be jealous of 100 million. There is a possibility you may become a billionaire. By being jealous of 100 million, you work only for 100 million. You will stop your vision. You will stop your vision. Your productivity is curtailed. If you understand, your productivity is destroyed by your jealous, simply the jealous will drop. You think, unconsciously you believe, you will become more productive by being jealous. That is why you encourage, put more energy into jealousy. No. You are not enriched or no juice is added into you by being jealous.

Q. Without much thoughts, how to manage our future? How can we plan our future?

One more thing. Without much thoughts, you will have the straight clarity of what will do, what will happen, what is your part in your future? With too much of thoughts, you will put your head into the places where you can’t do any change. See all your plans, just if you see, all your plans you are trying to struggle or fight with the walls. You are trying to hit the walls which you can’t change. For example, if you know something can be done, you never sit and plan about that. Do you? No! You sit and plan only about the things which you can’t do - means constant fighting! You are planning about future. Your future is nothing but a constant struggle and fight. Unless you have some fight, you don’t feel comfortable. If you dont have anything to worry, you feel you are lonely. Something is missing. Something is missing in you. So all your plan about your future is nothing but destroying your future. You are planning wrong things. You are working with the things which you really can’t do anything much about it. So if you stop planning what you are thinking as planning now, the real plan will emerge out of you. See, the real plan will just emerge out of you. It never happens by your thinking. If it can happen by your thinking, then all the people who are thinking would have done so many great things. No! All great things are done in the small gap which happens between your thoughts. All great inventions comes out only in that gap of 0 TPS which rarely happens in you. If it happens by accident, you become great by 1 or 2 inventions. If it is constantly happening, you just live in that greatness. If it happens few times in your life, you achieve the status. If it happens constantly in your life, you achieved the state. Status is achieved by the 0 TPS happening few times. State is achieved by 0 TPS happening continuously.

(side conversation- How long can I go on? hmmm. Okay.)

Q. My identity is gone. Now what?

You will not have this question! As long as you have this question, the identity is not gone.

(side conversation- We have time? Thank you)

Thank you for Excel Studio for. Let’s give a good clap for their arrangement, making it possible.

So, we have some more time.

How does future past, future...oh god I am not able to read. I am not able to read. Maybe the person who put the question can read and tell me.

Before that, a small story about this reading. There was a advertisement in the local newspaper: we need somebody who can read and write French. One guy applied and he said, “I can write, but I can’t read.” The manager was surprised. He can write but not read. ‘Let me see this guy.’ He called him for interview and gave a paper. “please write.” That guy dawadada start writing the French. Manager picked up the paper and he couldn’t read. He said, “No, no, no better you yourself read what you wrote.” That guy said, “I told you. I can only write. I can’t read.” I think that kind of a letter. Maybe I will read the first few words: How does future past future.. and the next word I’m not able to read. Who put the question? They can read it and tell me. Can you read, tell me what’s the question?

(audience member asks)

Oh you are asking how these two relates, connects! That’s a nice question!

Understand, the identity which you carry in the inner world will be the majority past. Major chunk of it will be past. Your past experiences. Your past memories. That only you carry and have an idea about you. And the identity which you project to the outer world will be always future. Your project plans. So the major chunk will be future. Jumping between these two can be correlated to jumping between to the inner and outer. But it’s not that complete inner will be only about past; there will be little future. There will be little past in the outer also. But the major chunk will be past-based and future-based. And the fight between these two is your mind.

Q. Are you saying more we think of past, less likely you will have 0 thought-process. How to forget past?

It’s like a vicious circle. More past, more TPS. Less past, less TPS. Instead of being caught in the vicious circle, start getting caught in the virtuous circle. Start putting your more energy, more energy into reducing the TPS. Then naturally less past. That’s all. Less past, less TPS. Less TPS, less past. Over! Just turn the cycle. Instead of the vicious circle, turn it into virtuous circle.

Q. How do I unclutch?

There is nothing like ‘how do I.” Just unclutch, that’s all. Maybe I can tell a small story. You will understand unclutching.

Sometime, your husband or wife disturbs you. Not sometime, as usual. When you are disturbed, you are sitting in your living room. You can either, it has happened, you did it or it has been done to you. you can see. She is sitting. You are shouting, “Tell me now! What should I do?” You shout, “At least tell now what should I do! I’ll do that! Keeping quiet won’t work. Give me some word! Tell something, I’ll do that! Whatever you want!” Whatever you may shout, you will not get any reply.

You can see in your life, sometime, you also do the same thing. Because even if you utter a single word, the whole fight will start again. From one word, the whole thing can be again developed. What you do in your living room couch, sitting, and not responding to any thought which comes: that is what is unclutching. What you do to your spouse, do the same thing to your mind. That’s all! See, now everyone can understand unclutching! I tried to explain unclutching through various, great philosophies and theories. Nothing! Nobody is able to understand. This one example, everybody understands. Because either you did it, or it has been done to you. Just all you need to remember is: what you do to your spouse when you’re unconnected, do the same thing with your mind. You are unclutched!

Q. There’s one more question: How can you reduce TPS on your job?

Whether you are in job or out, TPS can be reduced just by bringing yourself to the present moment. In job, you have to bring yourself to the present moment. Your job can be a beautiful technique to reduce the TPS. You’ll become more productive.

I think there are so many questions which are repetitive like a: how do you prepare for the future while remaining in the present? When you are in the present, you don’t need to prepare. Your presence will prepare for the future. Only problem is you are never allowed to trust you that you have so much intelligence to live your future. You are always made to live in fear that you have to plan, plan, plan, plan, plan, and you miss the whole thing. And you all know that you see you have done so much of planning. What you have done with your life, except messing up. So at least let us allow somebody else who is better planner who is planning for this whole cosmos.

Q. How do you know you achieved 0 TPS? Just because I am living in that. That’s all! All the doubts will disappear whether you have reached 0 TPS or not.

Q. If one has achieved 0 TPS, how can one see the future if that vision itself is a thought?

Vision is not thought. It’ll not be thought. It will neither be thought or thoughtlessness. It is beyond both. It is just happening. It is just happening. Enlightenment is not, again, a noun, it is a verb. It is just happening. Intense happening. I always tell people: enlightenment is ultimate experience but not final. Understand, ultimate happening every moment is enlightenment. Final means something again stops. No! It is a constant, ultimate happening. Suddenly, one new door opens and when you see god, such big! Then, again, next thing opens. Constantly, the ultimate is happening in you is enlightenment. It’s beyond your thinking or no thinking.

Q. I have seen your studies show heightened brain activity from meditation. Is this somehow the result of 0 TPS?

Mhm yes, 0 TPS?

Q. How can we purchase the CD for the meditation we just did?

It is called Nithyadhyan. I think they make it available. Is it available? It is available in the library’s galleria. And if you want to download, you can download from our website also. The website, also, it is available. You can download and practice.

Q. How does alcohol affect our ability to lower TPS?

See the alcohol, your conscious decision to relax into present moment disappears. That is why you are just jumping without even aware that you are jumping between past and future. No alcohol, no drug. Anything which can go from outside to inside cannot bring you to 0 TPS. No drug, no alcohol, no machine can give you 0 TPS. Except your conscious decision.

Q. Somebody is asking: Can I conduct a short tape interview for my film while you are in town?

Uh, maybe you can ask and come to ashram. Who is that person? Please ask him (points to someone in the side). Shiv, you can talk to him. And I’ll be here till June 29. Before that you can come and spend some time.

Q. How do we live closer to our connection to God and nature and 0 TPS when we have emotions?

There is no ‘how.’ Just bring yourself inside your boundary. That’s all! See, your emotions are nothing but high TPS. And bring yourself down. There is no ‘how.’ The moment you ask ‘how,’ you are asking for some technique. And if I give the technique, you ask again how to do that technique. Then if I tell you how to do that technique, you will ask again how to do that technique to do that technique. And it will just be a fun going on and never things will happen. Just decide, that’s all! Be little more intelligent and make a conscious decision. Over!

Q. Is it possible to fool yourself into thinking you have reached 0 TPS or enlightened?

You can’t fool yourself. You see, your mind is a system put into your head. Put inside you to remind you that you are not enlightened. See your spouse is sent into your life to teach you so many things. Same way, your mind is put into your system to tell you that you are not enlightened till you have not become enlightened. Only when you don’t have that question - that you have become enlightened. I have seen many people who fool around, telling others that they have become enlightened. But they themselves can’t believe that they are enlightened. So when you can really honestly believe yourself that you are enlightened, then you are enlightened. Don’t bother about anything else. You can’t fool around. You can cheat others, not yourself. That’s a great thing. God has put himself, inside you, to remind you till you are not enlightened. There is a automatic intelligence.

Q. Can you talk about love and how to delve in that state, in that aspect?

Again, the same thing, everything boils down to this 0 TPS. 0 TPS you will accept you as you are because you will not have an idea about you based on your past. When you accept you as you are, you will accept everyone as they are. That’s all. As long as you accept as you are, you will not be able to accept others as they are.

Q. Is it okay to fluctuate between 0 and 100?

Nothing wrong! If you enjoy fluctuation, just enjoy, that’s all! If you start enjoying the fluctuation, you will suddenly drop the 0 TPS. That’s the beauty. See, if you don’t even bother to bring you to 0 and just start enjoying wherever you are, suddenly, you will see you are in 0. Joy and the sudden shocks brings you to 0. That’s why Zen masters use these sudden techniques to bring you to 0. Anything, sudden or joy, can bring you to 0.

Q. Why do we only get glimpses of 0 TPS?

Why can’t we stay there? I should ask you: why don’t you stay there? It’s not that you will ask me ‘why can’t we stay there.’ Who is asking you not to stay there? So I should ask you: why can’t you stay there?

Q. How can I uncover and identify my life’s purpose ?

Come down. Come down. You will see your future and life’s purpose, that’s all. I tell you. Actually, life has no purpose. It has got meaning, that’s all. But no purpose. Purposelessness is the beauty of life. Because anything you keep it as your purpose, much more has been achieved by so many people. What else is there? There’s nothing big purpose. There is a meaning, beauty. That is the beauty of life.

Q. Speak about unconditional love.

As long as you have the word ‘unconditional,’ that will be one more condition. Unconditional love will become one more condition. So there is nothing like a condition or uncondition. Just start living. You will suddenly start seeing that others are telling that you are a loving and unconditional loving person. You yourself cannot plan unconditional love and start executing it. There is no project plan for unconditional love. Project plan, deadline, achieving all these things does not happen in the language of unconditional love. Just forget about unconditional love. It will happen to you, that’s all!

Q. Can one person stay continuously at 0 TPS and how will he react?

He will never react. He will just radiate. Yes, you can stay in unconditional love.

Q. How can one bring..How does one bring together the inner and outer identities? Again, 0 TPS. That’s all.

Q. What about those of us that have chemical imbalance in our body?

There is nothing like a chemical imbalance. As far as I know, there is only one thing: mental imbalance. If mental imbalance is balanced, chemical balance will automatically happen. Because your chemical imbalance is nothing but the echo of the mental imbalance. Just relax into 0 TPS. Suddenly, you will see you create a new body. New body to live for yourself.

Q. Nithyanandaji, thank you for the clarity now as we live on outside, TPS builds to be this, to do this, to do that , how to keep in control ?

See when you do this, do this, when you do that, do that. TPS is down , that is all. When do you bother, why do you bother about how to do this and how to do that ? When you do this, do this, when you do that, do that. Over. You have a 0 TPS. Only when you worry how to do this, how to do that , you have high TPS. Just have fun in life, you will have 0 TPS. That is all. Nothing much.

Q. How did you know that you are enlightened ?

Just i know, that is all. .. (Smiles…) There is no such thing as how did you know. There is no need for any proof. Fortunately selected beings are not selected by voting. (Smiles). So just you know that you are enlightened.

Q. Can i manipulate or create my own future ?

You can think you are manipulating or creating but you can’t manipulate it actually. The truth is, you can think and even have some references . Yes i did visualize and it happened and this so many positive thinking , so many expand and envisioning and expressing your future so many things are going on. Somehow i don’t know , atleast according to my enlightenment , according to my enlightened beings whom i have met , with whom i had my encounter with my experience , you cannot manipulate anything. The more you try to think ehh…. of manipulating , you just get manipulated and you just start imagining that you have manipulated . that is all. Otherwise the manipulation itself is not possible. So that is why so many positive thinking, expressing your future and all those things even though i read and see all those things i am not able to believe , i am not able to think that you can manipulate your future.

If you drop the TPS ,maybe the right thing will start happening, expressing through you. You will have the intelligence to update your future . That is all.

Q. How do you do the work and relax into life ?

Again the same thing , just be in 0 TPS, just be inside your skin. Work is done.

Q. The location of mooladhara chakra is it different for women and men ?

No , it is same . The root of the spinal chord. That is the same. Occourse if your spinal chord itself has some problem, then… then it may be …

Q. Where do you go when you meditate ?

No where, you are just here.

Q. Do enlightened masters perform miracles ?or is being enlightened a peaceful state of mind ?

See they do not perform miracles , sometimes miracles happens around them . Anything performed is a duty, anything happens only is miracle . Anything done is a work. it cannot be called as miracle, anything happens only, we can be called as miracles. so something extraordinary , what you think as miracles happening is nothing to do with enlightenment . Sometime it may happen express around them ,sometime it may not express. It is just, many time people come and ask me, especially when they hear from other devotees,s wamiji materialized and gave me this , swamiji did that to me , these people come and ask, swamiji give for me also. I tell them. I don’t know, it is not in my control . If it needs, it just comes out. If it needs it just not. it is not in my control. if it is in my control, we would have long before a enlightenment shop , miracles shop .. it is not in any body’s control. if it needs, it just expresses , if it needs, that is all. So it is not in my control. It is not, it is not that i possess enlightenment, enlightenment is possessing me. Understand if i am possessing enlightenment i can manipulate it , just like a showcase and i can keep it whenever i want, i can do whatever i want out of it, i can cook and feed, i can do these that, all those dramas. It is not that i am possessing enlightenment, enlightenment is possessing me . So enlightenment beings cannot perform miracles , many miracles may happen in thier presence. See when a, for example maybe sometime when the person will be helped towards enlightenment or will be inspired , maybe some extraordinary things which is not according to your logic may express . It may happen, maybe to inspire but i don’t think it can be performed .. many people come and ask me we received vibhuti, that holy ash from your photo, kumkum came out from your photo . I tell them, oh ! that is nice . If i myself want vibhuti i have to go to my box. You can get from my photo, i myself if i want, i have to go to my box. So i just tell them, it is not because of me, it is because of you. i am like a river , if you come with a coconut shell , this small size vessel you can carry me in that much , if you come with a big vessel you can carry that much. if you come with a big container you can carry that much. If you are intelligent you can make a connection, channel between you and me. That is all. I am like a mirror. Miracles happen because of you not because of me.

1:04:23 mins

Because of your trust and faith, feeling connected, miracles happen. And it is not done by me. Miracles are not qualifications of enlightened master. It may happen, may not happen. So, that can’t there is possibility. People who are doing miracles may not be enlightened. People who are enlightened may not be doing miracles. So it is no way it can be connected with each other. Just a it depends on every individual how we respond to that individual. That’s all!

Q. Will you discuss free will vs destiny?

I think I discussed. As long as you are sitting with the same record, you are with the destiny. If you are conscious enough to decide and reduce the 0 TPS, you are free will.

Q. Since we are already enlightened, why bother with the meditation or a master? That’s good! If you are very clear, you are all enlightened then no need. Whoever is very clear - no doubt inside you that you are enlightened - you don’t need master. You don’t need meditation. Just relax and enjoy! I’m rid of 1 person. 1 less headache for me.

Q. What advice do you have for parents of small children?

Only one request: do not be jealous of them. Do not reproduce yourself on them. That’s all! Sometime, sometime you can’t tolerate the joy which they are expressing. When they are shouting, singing, jumping, you say, “Keep quiet! Who asked you to write on this wall? Sit in a corner!” Just don’t do that. That’s enough. You don’t need to teach anything to them. Just respect them. They’re your guests who came down to your home, trusting that you will respect them. That’s all we need to do.

Q. I heard you are planning for a temple in Los Angeles when there are so many temples already. Why do you want one more?

This is a nice question! Understand, what’s the population of Los Angeles? 10 million. 10 million! For example, you just take that 10 million. 1 percent, 1 percent. People are interested in the Vedic tradition or the temple. What is the 1%. 100,000.

(side conversation: 100,000 is 1% in 10 million?)

100,000!

You see, just 100,000 people if they wanted to go to the temple once in a week, only once a week not even every day. 100,000 wanted to go to a temple only once in a week. Weekend! Do we have enough temple to support 100,000 people in LA? No! We need at least 100 more! Understand, understand. I have come to complement not to contradict. I have come to fulfill, not compete. Understand! We have just 1%. If 1% people decide they want to go to temples. They want to go to the, some Vedic places. Do we have infrastructure? Maybe we will be having some 25 temples in whole Los Angeles. 25 temples. Can these 25 temples accommodate all 100,000 people? No!

(side conversation: 100,000 if you divide by 25 how much it goes?)

4,000! Can a weekend, can any one temple accommodate 4000 people? No! Then we need at least 100 more. Please come and start one more in your home. I want you to start some more temples because so much of demand is there. See when so much demand is there, create more and more supply. It is our responsibility! And 1% is not a too big number. I am not talking something like a impractical. And the statistics says that 25 million Americans. In America, 25 million people practice some form of the Vedic tradition. 25 million! Some form of yoga, pooja, meditation, or homa, something! 25 million means how many percentage of the U.S population? 15%! 10% of people are already practicing. I am not even thinking of 10%. I am aiming at only 1%. If they want to visit, go to a place, to sit to see pooja or meditate or feel connected to these Vedic traditions. We don’t have infrastructures! So understand, I have come only to complement not to compete. I have come to support and not to compete. So we need more and more temples to support the need, the demand.

Thank you!

Q. How do we change the future so that it is as possible as it can be with little problem?

oh Understand, as long as you’re thinking of little problem, you have some TPS. Nothing can be done about it. You’ll create more problem.

Q. Same kind of questions: if you can intervene to change your future, where does destiny or your blueprint figure into this?

There is no blueprint or destiny.

Q. How can I get off the mid track of obsessive feeling of jealous that come cost, cause my TPS to go up very high?

I don’t think the jealous raises your TPS. Your TPS high brings jealous. When your TPS is high, you need some emotion, so you catch some problem. If you don’t have something, you start searching for it.

Q. Do you see different versions of future?

Oh god. No, no, no, no. I don’t see any vision. I’m relaxed.

Q. When you are escaping into life, what are you escaping from?

You are not escaping from anything, you are escaping from escaping idea. You escape from the idea of escaping, you are escaping into the right thing. I always tell people: if you are liberated from the idea of liberation, you are liberated.

Q. Same. The questions which I already answered: While during Nithyadhyan, how to bring TPS down.

Q. I came to see your face. I know if this is another Bharatn. Oh sorry. Some desi, but your smile tells me who you are. Love from Babaji!

Oh! That’s nice! Some love letter, thank you.

Q. And here is a beautiful question which I don’t have to answer. Empty paper!

I think we are done. Just these two.

Q. How can you help children who have mental issue achieve 0 TPS and enjoy life? First, they should be healed. Maybe you can bring them to ashram. I will try to help them.

Q. How about when we are sleeping?

When you are sleeping, you don’t have 0 TPS. Even while you are sleeping, in the dreams, there is a TPS. Even when you are in a deep sleep, it is not 0 TPS. It is called like a, the seeds which are creating thoughts in you are black. They are not dead. So even in sleeping, you are not in 0 TPS.

So, let you all understand these great truths, achieve and radiate the life in 0 TPS. Escape into life. Let you all achieve and radiate eternal bliss,

Nithyananda.

Thank you!
