“Here the sutra, which Shiva says,”

Here the sutra, which Shiva says,

“Look lovingly at some object, do not go to another object, here in the middle of the object, let the blessing happen to you”.

See, you do not even have to choose a deity; you can choose anything, with which you feel connected. If it is coco cola bottle, ok!!! But the problem is, with coco cola bottle you will have only lust, not love. When you see that bottle, you will think only ‘what I can get out of it’. Understand looking with love and looking with lust are two different things. When you see a beautiful man or woman, when you look, you only look ‘what I can get out of that person’, then it is looking with lust, not with love. Love means, ‘what I can add to that person, what way I can be of some help to the person’. If you decide or think of adding something, then it’s looking with love. The moment you see and you start calculating what I can get out of that person, it is looking with lust.

Understand looking with love, looking with lust, two different thing. Here Mahadeva says not only two different thing, diametrically opposite; diametrically opposite. Here Mahadeva says, ‘Look lovingly at some object’. If you use the divine objects, it is lot more easy, because the possibility of lust is less, possibility of love is more. From the young age you are taught to look with a love and respect, so it is easy to connect, it is easy to relate.

Have any one deity, or the photograph of the God or Guru. Try to look, with a deep love, without moving to the other object, understand, that is the main, that is the basic thing. Do not move to the other object. The moment you start jumping to other object you are tired of this object, the love has disappeared. Understand, as long as love is there, that object is unique, not number, not number.

For example, if you are just a worker, may be a clerk or a attendant, just a clerk in the office. If you die nothing will stop, some other, somebody else will come, replace you, the job will continue, life will continue, you are just a utility, number, figure; that’s all. But if somebody is in love with that same clerk, if the clerk dies, that person will never be again the same. Where ever you are just a number, even if you die, that mechanism will not suffer. Where ever you are in love with some object or person or somebody is in love with you, you become unique. Naturally your death cannot be replaced, that person will miss you; that person’s life will never be the same again. Love makes things unique, love makes things unique.

The other day, we were having energizing ceremony here, in the temple. All the Swamis, all of us were sitting and before preparing for the ceremony, one disciple, she asked me, “Swamiji every day, you are seeing us, all our mistakes, confusions, are you not bored by us?” It was a very honest question; because they know, sometime I tell them “do some new mistake, I will be entertained; not the same mistakes”, because even to commit new, new mistakes you need intelligence! She was asking that don’t you feel bored. I told, “just because of my very love I feel everybody is unique.” Understand, I do not look upon the devotees or disciples as number. It is unique; that is why with so much of patience, I continue to work with everybody. If it is just a number, forget about it, next person will do the work, over.

Devotees or disciples are not number for me. Because of my love for them they are unique, everybody is unique. Of course, I never miss anybody, just because of complete fulfillment, but otherwise everybody adds something, everybody is welcomed, is expected, is needed, is wanted, is required to be here. Every individual is unique. Same way when you are in love with the Master, he is needed, he is unique. When that love is not there – ‘one more swami, we can go to the other ananda, what is there?’ If you just type only Nithyananda at least 2 lakh two hundred thousand websites are opened; just Nithyananda. If you type Swami Nithyananda, I don’t know how many million website will open, and if he is not, then, some other Swami that’s all.

If you are a number, you can be replaced, if the love, element of love comes in play, between you and the other person, you are no more a number, you are unique being, irreplaceable, unique being. Love adds life even to the person. With love, the person is a spirit, life. Without love, the person is reduced to a thing, utility. Without love when you look, when you look at somebody, a beautiful man or woman, and planning for what I can get out of that person, you are reducing him to a thing; not as a Being, as a sprit. Only when you look at the person with love, he is a spirit, he is a Living Being. When that love is not there, he is a thing. That is why, whenever people look at you with lust full eyes, you feel repulsive, it looks ugly, you just cover yourself, you just hide yourself, you want to move out of that place. Whenever somebody looks at you with deep love, you just feel like being around that person continuously, even if you get only one glimpse, one eye contact with him, you will be waiting for it, you will be just waiting for that one contact, just waiting for that one glimpse, one look. It’s a love which adds value, to the uniqueness.

Another one incident, at least with that Krishna incident which I said, it was a deity, it was a carved Krishna Murti, that is ok. There is one another one small incident happened. I was travelling, I don’t know which place, may be around the area Madhya Pradesh or Maharashtra, there was one small tree and under that tree, three bricks, bricks which is used for construction is kept, with turmeric powder applied on it and some puja being done. Usually in the evening time, when I rest I will search for some brick for the head; to keep the head and lie down. I saw that area, nobody was there, just that three bricks were there. And I do not know that it was being worshiped by some villager as a deity. And I just took, picked up that brick and put it for my head and lied down.

And really in 10 minutes, one village guy, elderly person, is running towards me, his house was may be one mile away, he ran towards me and when he came near me he understood I am a sadhu. Because I was a sadhu he did not beat me. He told “Do you know, this is Shiva I worship. He appeared in my dream and told that you are lying on him.” Truth really, understand…. “So that’s why I came here” and he brought a small pillow; that’s another one beautiful thing. He brought a pillow, “lie down on this pillow, and leave him there, put that murthi back.” From one mile; he was lying down in his home, he says “I had a dream. Shiva told me that one sadhu is lying on me, take that” and he brought the pillow and he told me to put the brick that side. We don’t know who all are having connection to what all!! Just his deep love for that ordinary brick, which is used for construction, can create a telepathy power in him.

Understand, I heard, I read an article - American army is trying to develop telepathy power to use during the war times. They are doing some research and development, to use this telepathy, sending message through the mind. Understand, ordinary villager, just his love for a brick, of course, I am afraid to use the word brick again now; he may get a, I don’t think he is dead, only that elderly lady was dead. I don’t think he is dead, because I never tried to trace him also. Anyhow, just simple love to the ordinary looking brick, can create such a deep telepathy connection, between him and Mahadeva. Then understand, between him and Shiva, this ordinary brick is acting like a cell phone. You can’t imagine, the way in which that guy ran towards me, and the way in which he was shouting at me; just because I am sadhu he left me. Otherwise I would have had the puja, the puja from him.

Just I want all of you to understand the power of love, the power of simple love; it was a simple love. And actually during British time, all the milestones in the Bharatn highway used to be yellow painted. There was a big problem; because from next day all the local villagers started worshiping all the milestones, no really, then they changed the color and changed to green paint; because for Bharatn villagers nothing is needed, just a clear some shape is enough; everything is God for us, everything is God for us.

Let me describe this incident. That may throw a deeper light for you. It was a very intimate discussion between me and one of my Enlightened disciple; may be if you are new you should know, few of my disciples had the fortune and had the Enlightenment experience; not only had of course Enlightenment once happens it stays with you. He was asking me, “Swamiji, after this experience, whatever books I read, many points I can say are my experience, but many points are not my experience. How can I understand whether I am fully enlightened or not? Or how is the points, are they right or wrong?” There is a very beautiful incident in Ramana Maharishi’s life, I quoted and gave him the answer. Understand, this one incident can completely open up and give you a new click or new glimpse towards the Truth.

Ramana Maharishi says, in his teaching, when in his conversation, I never read any spiritual literature, or the literature related to spiritual knowledge, except one or two book before enlightenment. He says “I achieved the Brahma Gnana, without knowing the word Brahman and after I achieved the experience, when I was going through the books, I was able to clearly experience, whatever is written is my personal experience.” This was the discussion he was doing.

Later on some disciple asks him, “Bhagavan how can every word written in that book can be your personal experience?” He was bringing up some point in that book; it is written like that; some traditional book - Enlightened masters can do all this, but in your experience you are not doing all that - some materialization or miracles.

Bhagavan says, “When I say all those things are part of my Experience, my inner space is so vast, I can see very clearly including materialization everything can happen. It is not necessary that I should do it and show; but in my inner space I can see very clearly it can happen.”

Understand if you have that clear confidence and feeling, ‘Yes, I can see the divine, it can happen in me. I have such enough inner space and love’, be very clear already you passed that state; you passed that much. You can now start the next level, you can now start the next things. You don’t need to sit there and prove; sitting there and proving is only needed as long as you have doubt, you have doubt. Bhagavan says very beautifully, “I am very clear the materialization can happen inside my inner space. I can very clearly do. That is the reason, I don’t have to prove myself or to prove to others that I can do.”

I asked him, “Do you have that clarity?” He said “Yes, I do. I am very clear, I can do it; only thing the feeling is not coming up, strongly from the navel center that any thought has to come from the navel center only then you will be able to execute it. That is not happening, but the possibility is there inside the body. I can feel very clearly, my nerves are saying, it is possible in me.”

See, your nerves will never tell lie to you, your mind will tell lie to you, but never your body. Your nervous system will never tell a lie to you, your nervous system can never tell false things to you. He said, “I am very clear I can do that”. Then that’s all, you do not have to prove. Understand, when you have this love, your inner space will become such, there are many things you will not ask to be proved, you will not asking for the clear logical reason. Suddenly you will just feel connected; that’s all.

People who cannot experience, understand, the space of being in love with the Master, cannot understand the Truth. That’s why I always tell, we are not cult, we are a culture. Understand, there is a big difference between this two, there is a big difference between this two. When you are in deeply love, you will see the uniqueness of the Truth and everything will become Alive, Reality, to you and you will see, every step you take in your life, feels ecstatic, feels joyful.

I cannot imagine from one mile somebody running, with the pillow, saying that you are sleeping on my God! Understand the strong telepathy connection, with an ordinary man. I am sure nobody saw and called him on cell phone; because those days there was no cell phone in the villages, and surely nobody can see and go and tell him. And if somebody went and told him, he would have only brought the stick not the pillow; but he brought the pillow. He says, “Shiva told me you are lying on him, you have the pillow and leave him, put him there, back in his place”. Love can create such a deep connection and it can open up many dimensions in you. It can awaken many possibilities in you.

So, understand this technique, you can try even in this next gap, you will have small break. Every day we will see two Sutras; two Sutra and a small break we will have. Even this small break, try, try to go and sit in front of any one deity, which you really love or any other object, which you really feel loving. Sit in front of it, look very deeply lovingly, just become LOOK. Let your Consciousness be completely be centered on your eyes, let your hand, leg, body everything, lose its very existence. Let you forget about all those things, Let everything disappear. Let you just become eyes, look deeply, with deep love for few minutes without jumping into the other object. If you jump the other object, come back, get back, and just sit with a deep love, completely in a relaxed way; you will see a very deep silence, very deep bliss, very deep blessing, starts coming out of your system.

You need to understand one more thing. All techniques can lead only to peace. When the peace settles inside your system, bliss will explode. Do not accept the bliss which is being expressed or shown in my body language. Meditation will lead you only to peace, and when the peace settles inside your system, when your nerves are clean, when you’re nervous system is cleaned by the peace, the settling peace, the bliss will explode. You will start expressing the bliss which is expressed in the Master’s body language.

Try, try this meditation technique with any one deity, with a deep love and silence. Let the blessing happen to you, let the blessing happen to everyone.

We will have a small break and after that we will have the next session, the next sutra and few of your question answers. If you have any question, you can drop, leave your questions here. I will answer. Let’s gather for next session.

Thank you.
