“Let’s enter into today’s shiva sutra.”
Let’s enter into today’s shiva sutra.
“Past attachment for body aside, realizing I’m everywhere, one who is everywhere is joyous.”
Oh God again, Shiva is dropping one more new and clear bomb. Yesterday, what Mahadeva spoke, today he’s speaking the after effect of that initiation. It’s like a, this again Ananda Sutra. Neither you need to practice at a particular time, nor you need to practice whole day. Just need to understand, like yesterday’s sutra. Like yesterday’s sutra need to understand, and with that understanding, face the life. Or when that understanding happens, the naturally your desires and everything will start getting rearranged. You’ll lose respect for your fears. Your fears cannot frighten you. That is the problem and your desires cannot shake you. When your desires cannot shake you, fears cannot frighten you. A new kind of a rearrangement will start happening in your life. That rearrangement, when that rearrangement starts happening inside you, cooperating with that rearrangement. Today is all about the cooperation.
He’s saying, how we stop the cooperation and how we are expected to cooperate. That is the whole essence of today’s Sutra. Past attachment for body aside. Realizing I am everywhere. Understand, the yesterday’s sutra is like a psychological revolution. An inner revolution. Understanding the mind forms the base of the I. When you just understand that one thing, automatically you will lose respect for mind. Not only the wealth, even what you think as your fears, your desires, your, whatever you think as you. Now the whole problem is, what you think as you, you think it is yours. Then go on running behind it. Mahadeva taught us, it is not ours. It is not ours. That is the first click, first initiation.
Here, Mahadeva is giving a very beautiful one more click, initiation to continue to add on to go deeper. See when that initiation happens, when you come down from that initiation. What will be the only problem or disturbance which will take you away from that initiation? Or Living Enlightenment is attachment to your body or other bodies. Understand, when you need some other body or your body to express your desire, or when you need to be away from some other body from your own body because of your fear. This initiation or Living Enlightenment, you come down from it. You start Living Enlightenment. Very strong subtle thing. Please put your attention and energy. When you have attachment to your body or some other body, this is two thing.
An, and the another two thing is fear and desire. See, desire for your body and desire for other body. Fear of your own body and fear about other body being around you. Fear about other bodies being around you, you will try to away, be away from them. That is the fight. That is the war, violence, whatever. Fear of your own body is fear of disease and fear of being ugly. These things are fear of your own body. Whether it is attachment or fear of. Both related to your own body. If you can put it aside for few weeks. Till this initiation gets settles in you.
He says, “You will realize I am everywhere. One who is everywhere is joyous”.
All he’s doing today is adding some more fire. He is just saying, don’t relax from the Living Enlightenment. The click which you had, the initiation which you had, the clarity which you had, live with that. Continue to have it. Don’t rest from it. What all the reasons can bring you down from that initiation, he’s describing. The attachment, straight first attachment to your body and attachment to another one body.
See, attachment to another one body means, whenever you need to throw your engrams, throw your desires out, your desires are anger. If you need a body to throw your desires or anger, that is relationship. Deciding clearly, I will not throw my desires or anger on other body. I will throw it only in the sky. I’ll release it to the nature. I’ll be only releasing them all to the aloneness. Completely, independently without depending on any person is what I call Sannyas. Sannyas means, deciding not to throw the attachment, not to throw the desires or the anger on other person.
You may ask, how is it possible to release it in the air? Mahadeva is giving, already in the earlier sutras he has given a beautiful technique. Even for throwing your anger and lust into the air. He says a simple visualization of that person and expressing all those energies, emotions through your body, can completely heal you. Understand, when you are releasing your anger your lust into the air, you will not be dependent on the other person. You will only be overflowing on the other person. As of now, the if you are expecting the other person to be there for releasing your anger or lust. Not only you will become dependent on that person, because you’re dependent on that person, you’ll carry more violence and vengeance towards that person. That is why the spouse becomes an intimate enemy. Intimate but enemy, because you feel everywhere you're able to stand on your own. Here you have to bend. You feel here you have to answer. Here you have to be responsible. Here you have to be little lower than what you are or what you show to everybody.
Small story, one guy comes back very late to the house. Late night around four o’clock. Maybe next day early morning. The moment she opens the door, she asks, do you know what is time? This guy says, “Oh it is too early, just ten thirty night”. She says “No, see the alarm clock. It’s four o’clock. Practically early morning. Too late!” and this guy starts shouting. “What, you are trusting the rotten twenty dollar alarm and not the husband who is standing in front of you? Your trust for the twenty dollar alarm is more than your trust for the living person who is in front of you.”.
Sometime, the trust for the alarm clock, rotten alarm clock is more deeper than the trust for the person. You can’t tolerate it. You’ll say, “what, then you are believing the clock, not me”. But logically she has to believe the clock. She has to believe the clock. Life, many time, brings you back to the reality, but you feel the difficulty to accept the reality. And naturally, the other person becomes intimate enemy.
