“Let me define the word “initiation”.”

Let me define the word “initiation”.

Day before yesterday, I was using a word, “Psychological Revolution”. Yesterday, I introduced a word “Shastra Shasta”. Understand, Knowledge weapon; Whenever you need to heal yourself, you need inner healing, you need to bring yourself again to the life energy. Many time you can see, a simple disturbance from the outside or from the memory, inside; either from experience or from memory can drain your energy or even taking too many decisions, drains your energy. Many time you can see in your life; morning, if you go and sit in your office, you don’t have to do any work. Just take some five six major decisions. You are already tired. You say I am done. That is all. Either the incidence form outside or memory from inside or just simple decision makings makes you tired, dead.

The truths, ideas, words, which brings you out of the tiredness, which brings you out of that low mood, which brings you out of that depression, gives you the energy, confidence, life, those truths only I call as “ Shastra Shashtas” [knowledge weapons]. Truths which brings you out of depression, low mood, and adds self healing energy and confidence life into you is called “ Shastra Shashtas”. The truths which not only brings you out of the depression, destroys the source of depression once for all, is called “mantra”. Understand, “the mantra” word has two meaning. One “manthrayathey ithi manthraha “(the words which shows path for human beings is mantra). The truths not only brings you out of depression, once for all breaks the source of depression in you is called” mantra”. Any mantra if it comes from the enlightened, experienced inner space, you do not know why, how what, suddenly you see, it is true. It clicks. Even though one part of your logic continues to fight because if you accept the truth and start expressing in your life, many of the things, your vested interests, many things you thought as life is at stake. That part, may continue to fight but the main your being your core will have that click. I know what he is talking is truth. May be too strong for me. May be if I start living it, too many things are at stake. These all can be a confusion or disturbance, doubt in the corner of your mind, corner of your heart, corner of your being. But the very core feels connected. If that happens to you, it is called “initiation”.

Truth when it comes out of an enlightened inner space and clicks that is the right word I have to use. I won’t be any, if you analyse how could he convince me about such a great thing and such a wonderful thing, you yourself will feel how did I get convinced, you don’t know but suddenly your heart feels connected to the words which he is uttering, the truth which he is expressing, that connection, that click is what I call, “initiation”. Please get ready for initiation. Today we are going to enter into initiation. I am trying to express some truths. Understand yesterday whatever I added is “ Shastra Shashtas” [ knowledge weapons]. It can bring you out of depression. It can bring you out of low mood. It can bring you out of that dull feeling to a inspiring healing mood, energetic feeling. But today, what I am trying to share can break the very core of depression. What we call, root of your mind. There is every possibility. Just be available, receptive and ready to let this Sathya (truth) work on you. Suddenly you will see that click, the initiation happens in you.

Just two things: Do not sleep, not only closing the eyes. Even with open eyes. Many time like a changing the channel, the house you are trained, more than five minutes you don’t sit in front of one channel. In fifteen minutes, you go one full round and come back. Some 30, 40 channels you go around and come back. Same thing continues everywhere. Even when you sit in the discourse, after 2, 3 minutes you have already changed the channel. Your eyes may be open. You may be sitting here. But you changed the channel, either in the dream state or day dreaming state or almost sleeping state or just somewhere. Just today, please do not change the channel and second thing completely be relaxed and the words which comes out of the enlightened inner space, just play with the understanding. “Oh! Yes. What he says, sounds great”. Even if it is; sometimes it will give an idea, “if I start practicing it, what will happen to this, what will happen to that?”. The prejudice presupposed, hypothetical questions, if you can just push them aside; yesterday I saw many questions, “If this happens, what to do? If that happens what to do?”. The “If” has no answer. You can suddenly say; “if world disappears, if world is destroyed, what to do?”- What to do?, nothing can be done, that’s all. The “If” has no answer. The “If” is just cunning way of postponing the truth.

Now only these two things: Just do not change the channel. Second just be relax. Go with the whole flow. Go with the whole expression. Suddenly you will see, somewhere it clicks. Somewhere, it just clicks. That click is what I call “initiation”. “Initiation” does not mean chanting some special mantra in your ears or doing something special. It straight away means, making you experience a solid truth, giving you a clear inner space and confidence to live the truth. In vedantic tradition we have three words. Beautiful words: Shravana, manana, nithithyaasana. “Shravana” means intense listenting, “Manana” means internalising, contemplating. “Nithithyaasana” means living.

May I request you, not to photograph or video graph. The problem is, they video record part and they say, this is what I taught. Not only video recording, even when you go out and speak people ask “Swamiji, can we teach this meditation to others?”- You are free to teach. Knowledge is free. Understand. You are free to teach not only. I always tell knowledge is free. All these meditation techniques which I taught; everything is printed and published in book form. Its available in book form. All I request is only one thing. Please teach completely. Do not teach half and say that I taught all these. That is the only thing. So, this recording also the same problem. They record some inbetween and it does not represent exactly. That is the reason, I request you.

Initiation means, the great truths. “Manthrayathe”, the words which lead you to the truth. The clear path, which leads you to the truth. If it is experiencially transmitted, atleast one glimpse, then initiation has happened. Then you are initiated. Many doubt, when I use the word “initiation”, there will be so many doubt; “I am already initiated by some guru. Can I have initiation? If I get initiated, can I go to some other guru and learn something.” - Everything is perfectly alright. Nothing wrong. I always tell people, go to all gardens and pluck flowers and make a beautiful garland for you. Its not like shop if you go there don’t come here , if you come here don’t go there. Nothing like that. Our ego is such, if it is beaten by ten, twelve gurus only then it will die. It won’t die just by something which you learn from one person. So nothing wrong. So learn all best things from all sources and enrich your life. It is no way connected to any of the olden understanding you have about initiation.

Initiation is just, transmitting the authentic experiencial clarity which happen into your inner space. Many time when I start the initiation, I have seen people, sitting, “what does it mean by initiation? How is this going to help? How is this going to change? After all few more words.” That’s the usual mentality. And especially, when I give such a big introduction about “initiation” people think,” Oh! He is wasting too much time on introduction; Why not inter into meditation, enter into initation?” The big problem is, whether you believe it or not, it takes atleast half an hour for you to listen to or start listening to somebody. First half an hour, you will be preparing your replies. Usually conversation never starts till half an hour. Till half an hour, the listening never starts. It is just monolog, we may happening. Just somebody talking. Either you will not be listening. If you are listening you will be just preparing your answers. That’s the reason, I am just preparing the mind, unconsciously also you will be ready to receive these great truths, to receive the initiation, to receive the click. The click, which word is responsible, which moment that click happen, you will not know By suddenly once the expression of truth is over, you will see, you feel it, “Yes, It is true. I am seeing it. It is true.” So just be prepared for initiation, entering into the truth. Let me
