“In the whole world there are, there are only two kind of people.”
In the whole world there are, there are only two kind of people. People who transformation is possible in others. Naturally they will believe transformation is possible in themself. There's a second group who believes transformation is not possible in others. Naturally they cannot believe transformation is possible for them also. There is only two kinds of people. If you believe your Master is enlightened, you it means you will have the deep faith - enlightenment is possible for you. If you are not able to believe somebody is enlightened in the planet earth, transformation, possibility of transformation pow… for you is closed. It is not available for you. It is not open for you. I always tell people, believing me, don't think you are adding something to me. You are adding something to you. Trusting me, you are adding something to you. Because people come and say, “I believe you. You only have to take care.” As if believing me, they have done great favour for me. Who asked you to believe? I tell, “Do not think by believing me you are doing a favour for me.” No. By trusting me, I become like a walking stick. You can use me and stand up. I can be like a beautiful bridge for you to travel to the other shore. I can be a door for you to experience the your own possibility. When you trust somebody in front of you has experienced the truth, your inner space will start trusting. You can also experience the truth. You can also see the truth.
Here Mahadeva says, “Continuously use this as a key,” understand, this a very small key. Every step remember, objects and desires, fear, worry, all the samskaras - just like how all of them are in my inner space, they are all there in everybody’s inner space. Understand, this clarity can illuminate your whole life. Just it can awaken your whole life. Because, every time when you are handling somebody, understand if you are in that position, what all will be inside you, that everything is there, in the, in the person. Try to fulfill. Understand, whenever your wife brings a problem to you, never think she is asking for solution; she is asking for attention. If you try to give solution, you are in trouble. No, you are in trouble! She knows much better solutions. All she wants is you need to listen that problem completely, and act as if you do not know the solution. She will tell the solution. Then you have to, Ah! Yes, yes, yes. See this is the right solution. You are very intelligent.” Do this you will never be a failure. Truth! All they want is, that you should be there saying that I do not know the solution. Then, suddenly you will see, they are coming up with the solution. Understand, the problem there is they are operating from Anahata. If you are trying to operate from Ajna, Anahata is a chakra asking attention. If you are trying to operate from Ajna, the chakra of ego, you will be a failure.
Same way, when your boss is bringing some problem, naturally that is not attention need. That is the Ajna, ego problem. You should give the solution, but act as if he himself brought the solution. With wife, you should never give the solution. Just give attention. With boss, you should give the solution without hurting their ego. Because it is a question of Ajna, the problem from Ajna. Same way, if the problem is from Svadhisthana, means out of fear, naturally you need to handle it with a lot more care and healing. There neither attention need will work, nor working with ego will work. Just see from which energy center they are acting, and respond from the same energy center. Put yourself in the same energy center and see. Accept that desires and things exist in you. As it exists in you, it exists in others also. Never think, never start judging, guessing, or trying to interpret. It’ll be different. It’ll be some way different. Understand exactly it is, as it is in you, and handle it. You will see in so many places, suddenly you will have deep compassion. You will open up deeply. When your being opens up, it radiates so much of healing energy. So much of trust is created, so much of understanding is created. The real communion starts happening. The real communion starts happening.
I tell you, even when you read the enlightened Master’s life stories or the teachings, use this technique. Sit with it, and with every incident, see, try to analyze their mental setup was also at least before enlightenment, after enlightenment, you won't be able to analyze. It’ll be too much. It’ll be extraordinary. Your logic will not be able to relate. Before enlightenment, whatever has happened in their life, put yourself in the position, the same desires and object and fear, whatever you have in you, was there in them. How they responded? See how you are responding. Suddenly you will see, the life which they lived is possible for you. The life which they lived, with that you will start feeling connected. You will see, it is possible to open up. It is possible to grow. It is possible to expand. Unless you understand and accept desires, objects, everything exist in others, the same way it exist in you - you will not be able to connect, relate with people or enlightened beings or the truth. Try to connect. Try to relate with the things, objects. Accepting objects and desires exist in me, as it, as in others; so accepting, let them be transformed.
It is actually a technique which you need to carry continuously. The technique which you need to practice continuously. Putting yourself into the position of the others. Looking yourself from the other person's angle. There's a beautiful Basha commentary. The commentator also explains this technique in a little deeper way. Sit in front of a mirror. Look very deeply your own eyes. After five minutes, visualize that your vision, your reflection is looking at you. Visualize you are inside the mirror and you are looking at you. Then you will be able to shift your vision, shift your consciousness. Then whenever you see a person, whenever you handle a situation, you will be able to see objectively. You will be able to see it from that side with acceptance. It's a very simple practice. Of course, every day you spend at least half an hour in front of mirror. You can use that time. You can use that time. It’s a very powerful technique. Just five minutes gaze at your eyes. After that just visualize, you are inside the mirror looking at your own body. In the beginning it’ll be little weird. After few, few times of trying, you will be able to see things from others’ perspective, things from the others’ view. You will be able to accept others. You will be able to put yourself in that position and relate with the things, relate with the truth.
Let me tell you an important incident. Vivekananda went to a library, during his wandering days. Picked up some six volumes of encyclopaedia. After third day, he brought the book back and returned to the library. The librarian started laughing. “Did you take it to put it at your err… head to be used as a pillow.” First thing librarian was not able to believe a Swami is a educated guy. Next thing, he cannot believe somebody finished all six volume in three days. Vivekananda said, “If you want, ask any question from that six volume.” Librarian examined him three hours, and got completely shaken. Because not only Vivekananda was able to answer, he was able to quote even page number and paragraph and line exactly. Let me give you the technique, how it is possible. Try this technique for few days sitting with a mirror. Sit few minutes, look at the mirror as you are, as if you are looking from here. After a few minutes, feel that you are looking from inside to your own body. Few times of practicing, just five minutes per day, practice for two-three days. Suddenly you will see, you are really able to feel you are outside your body and able to look at you.
Once you have that click, that feeling, whenever you pick up some book, pick up that book, first few minutes gaze at that book, as if you are looking from your body. Then, next few minutes feel you are inside the book and looking at your body. You will see a deep connection will happen between you and the book. It’ll take only ten percent of the time for you to finish that book. The time which you will take usually, if it is ten hours, I guarantee it’ll not take more than one hour. I myself have experienced this technique. Easily I finished six hundred to seven hundred page in one night. I don't read a single book. I just bring volumes, go through. Simply it is possible. All you need to do, first look at the book for few minutes, then feel that book, through the book you are looking at yourself. It may look very weird, and it may look too simple. Try you will understand, in the very inner space a different thing happens. When you listen this sutra - objects and desires exist in me as in others, so accepting, let them be transformed. It looks too simple.
If you really start using this technique every step in your life, you will understand how many things are revealed to you, how many new new things starts happening in you. You will see, you are able to move out of your boundary, you will use your body like a car. When you want, you can get in; when you want, you can get down. You can get into anybody’s head and see. Understand, I am not giving you false promise or I am not giving you too big ideas. It is simply possible. A simple understanding and clarity. If you have never seen somebody swimming, and you get a book how to swim. You read that volume, first move the right hand ten times, move the left leg quickly as much as possible. Right hand, right leg, left hand, left leg, all four should be continuously moving in full speed, and you should, your head should be above the water. Can you ever believe that you will be able to swim? No! Same way, unless you have seen an enlightened being playing with these powers. If you just read these words, you may not be able to believe. I tell you, the moment you see somebody swimming, first thing, “Oh God, it is possible.” Second thing, when it is possible for him, why not for me. Third thing let me jump. Understand, Master is a promise. Master is a proof. I know what I am talking is a truth. Just try to play with these techniques, especially if your profession is related to lot of reading. It’ll open up a new energy in you. It’ll be such a powerful thing, it’ll just change you.
Not only with reading, you can play this with anything. The same way, if you have some disturbed relationship, just sit for a few minutes with that person's photograph, and look from your side. After a few minutes visualize you are looking through his side’s to you. You will suddenly heal the relationship. Because your inner space will open up, your body language, language will change. Suddenly you will see you will heal that relationship. You will heal that disturbance created in the relationship. So many new things will open up from his angle, from his point of view, from his energy. It will awaken a new circle in you. You can use this technique in so many ways, in so many times, in so many situations in your life. Maybe, now you can sit with yourself, and at least bring you back to you. If you have any book or a note or some object or a mirror; if you don't have anything, you can go and sit with the deities. First visualize you are looking through these eyes. Then try after few minutes, try to look through that deity. Visualize you are looking from that murti, from that deity. Your body is now empty, you are seeing from there, life is looking from there.
You will see the kind of energy circle starts happening in you, kind of a complete fulfillment starts happening in front of you. Try this technique for few minutes, you will see some strange new things, strange new energy getting awakened inside your system. And, you will have a deep compassion for every living being. If you have pets, try with your pets. You will be able to relate much more deeply. You will be able to relate with more love and care. If you have some plants, favourite tree, or a flower plant, anything in your house - try with that. Whatever... plants, animals, people, book, anything you have, try to play with that. Try to play with the moon. Try to play with the hill. First you look, then feel that object is looking at you. It is just looking inside you. You will start seeing things from that different vision. You will start expressing things from that different angle. You will start expanding your understanding by accepting the objects and desires exist in me as in others. Let them be transformed. Let you be transformed. Thank you. 18:54
