“When I made the statement, "Your cell is intelligence." I mean,…”
When I made the statement, "Your cell is intelligence." I mean, two-three qualities of intelligence is constantly expressed by your cells. One, first quality: reproducing. You see, anything which survives, has to reproduce - anything which reproduces only can survive. It’s a basic law. A buffalo by its very nature, it will try to reproduce one more buffalo. Man by his very nature, he has to reproduce. Understand. What I am doing is also one kind of reproduction. I have become Enlightened, now constantly I am reproducing Enlightenment on human beings. See, you all carry your garbha in muladhara. I carry my garbha in anahata - that’s all. I carry my disciples in my heart and hatch them. It’s just actually reproducing. Only a person who is able - capable of doing the higher kinds of reproductions, does not need the lower kind of reproduction. Otherwise every human being, by his very nature - it’s a survival need, truth.
You have to reproduce. Cells also, don’t keep quiet, what they do, they start reproducing. So, for example, morning you had a pain shower - some suffering, by evening those cells have become now three. One reproduces two. Now, night if you have the same pain shower, what will happen? All three fellows will catch the same engram - they will get the same energy; same engram. Then, by next day what will happen - these guys will become, they will multiply. That is why every time you have that same pain shower on you, the experience is intense, whether it is anger or pain - whatever may be. Second time, third time if the same emotion happens in you, what will happen - the experience will be very strong; intense. And this expansion you don’t need to cooperate, this multiplying happens without your contribution. Reproduction here - physical body, needs you directly involving, going through that experience. Reproduction in the prana and mental layer, pranic and mental layer needs at least you remembering those engrams. But the reproduction in the etheric body, does not need any cooperation or 'yes' from your side. It just goes on and on and on without you saying 'yes', that is why no pain should be allowed to stay inside your inner space.
In Tamil there’s a proverb: fire, enmity, the loan should not be allowed, even little bit to remain. Because they will multiply, they will grow. Fire also will expand, enmity will also expand, and loan also will expand. Same way, these engrams cannot be allowed, even little bit to remain. It’s a very powerful layer. Understand the importance of this layer. All seven chakras are in this layer only - the whole ASP program, the LBP level 1 - how many of you have done that program - seven chakras? The whole program is just to work on this layer - fourth layer; etheric layer. All seven chakras are in this layer only. Understand. The one full program, 2-day workshop I have dedicated to this layer means - then understand the importance of this layer.
If this layer is cleansed, practically you will not attract any unknown accidents, difficulties in your life. All accidents, attracting accidents or unknown things in your life happens because of this layer. This acts like a dish - if you have a dish, how the waves are attracted to you, especially the channel which you tune, that same waves are attracted to you. Same way, this layer acts like a dish for painful memories. One more thing - one important danger of this layer, when you have so much of painful memories, you start enjoying other’s pains and sufferings. That is why this a yellow journalist. Why do you think so much people enjoy this yellow journalist - means like a murder, crime novels - the crime journals. There are many magazines and media, that 80% of their energy is spent only in investing all this nonsense and writing some more things.
See, I am not saying don’t know about the world at all, you can know - just a simple regular news is enough. And the law enforcement department is there, they are going to take care. Are you going to change anything directly, no! But, from morning till night they will be sitting with that same journals, magazines - the wrapper itself you will see with the big sword or gun with the blood. This kind of articles, this kind of things you start enjoying. I have seen people, they know if they see some horror movies for two-three days continuously, they will be completely frightened, they can’t even go to their kitchen to drink water in the night time. But even then, they will sit only with these movies - the horror movies.
You will start cherishing, enjoying violent, horrible things, if this layer is too strong. The engrams in this layer is too strong. Understand. There is a very beautiful sutra in upanishad: āhāra-śuddhau smṛti śuddhiḥ - if the food is pure, your memory will become pure. That does not mean only the food which you eat through mouth - the food which you eat through eyes, food which you eat through ears, food you eat through touch, food which you eat through smell; all five senses, all five senses. So, be very clear, āhāra śuddhiḥ means not swallowing violent, abusive things even through media, even through media. If you are enjoying horror movies, the violent, especially the stunt scenes - be very clear, you have something seriously wrong in this layer.
According to Me romance is much better shows - it’s not that I am saying go and see romantic movies. If you have a choice, better go for some light things, some comedy, or romance - that’s much better. You won’t hurt yourself, you will just have entertainment - time pass, over. But if you start cherishing or enjoying the violence, horrible things, you will weaken this fourth layer. Understand, please understand. Now the statement which I am making, logically you may not understand, but let Me be very clear, it’s honest truth - I promise once more, it’s honest truth. If you start enjoying horrible things and violence, through media or through reading or all these ways you will surely attract accidents, and unnecessary violent things in your life.
Because your inner space is so powerful, it can create incidents in your outer space. Don’t think your inner space is such a insensitive thing, it has nothing to do with your life, no! You are not that intelligent to edit your inner space and create your own outer space, no!. Whatever you carry in your inner space, same thing only will be reproduced in outer space. So, be very clear, before you start enjoying horror movies, violent things in your life. Stop swallowing suffering, as if you have less - as if already you have less in your stock. Stop swallowing suffering, you are swallowing too much of suffering, too much of suffering. Not only that, without knowing, that’s another one problem - without knowing.
So, if you are - if at all you want entertainments, have more the comedy things and romance based - at least you are saved. Actually, enjoying the adrenaline release is what is reason for enjoying all these nonsense. You see, when you enjoy all those, when you experience all those horrible things - the horror movie or this violent things - adrenaline release happens in your system, and by and by you start enjoying that adrenaline surge; release. Please understand. Anybody who enjoys adrenaline surge, whenever that high, intense adrenaline release does not happen in the system, they will be depressed. That is why, you see, whenever I enter in any country, just two-three days if I watch the local channel I can tell the Consciousness of that country. People ask Me, "Swamiji, you travel all over the world, everywhere, whatever you speak, it feels so appealing to that culture and the country."
Actually I do this only, I sit and watch the local channel, try to have an interpreter if I don’t understand that language, and tell that guy to translate and tell Me and pick of some local slang - language books - common things. I can straight away find out, which Conscience they are in. When I went to Disney World, one devotee was taking Me around he said, "Swamiji, see what wonderful entertain things these guys have, amazing thing. We didn’t have all these things in Bharat." I said, "Idiot, don’t you understand this whole country is depressed." No, true. Please understand. Especially the roller coasters, roller coasters and that high excitement - the intense movements, what do you think they are doing? They create a deep adrenaline surge in you - release in you and people start enjoying that.
If you enjoy the adrenaline surge 20 times in your life, after a few days if you don’t have that surge you will be in depression, you will be in depression. I can give you a one right example: dog eating its own leg, chewing its own leg - is the exact right example for enjoying your own adrenaline release, adrenaline surge. Once they put Me in roller coaster - she only. Alright, I will tell the experience. First time when I went to USA, in Santa Monica Beach, na? In Santa Monica Beach. Usually I go for evening walk, if I stay in the beach cities, go in the evening walk. If I stay in the hilly region, I go in the hill for evening walk. That’s My only entertainment - just walking. Anyway, we went for a walk, slowly these guys started telling Me, "Swamiji, this roller coaster is very wonderful - why don’t you try?" I said, "No, no, no these are all not for Me." But you know these devotees, how strong and stubborn they are. And you know how these guys will usually talk - not only she, there are two-three other people also - her colleagues, all put together, slowly they started telling, "No, no, no Swamiji, you know it is really wonderful experience. It will really be fun - just try. After all nothing. See all, even the young guys are doing there." And they told Me all kinds of reasons then finally I said, "All right, I will come there. I will see the expressions of the people who are coming out.
If that is really joyful then I will try. I went there, I saw that when the roller coaster comes and stops, all the guys are raising the hand and shouting, "Ooohhh!" I thought, "Oh, it must be exciting! Then it must be exciting. I said, "All right, buy tickets. Let's go and sit." Anyhow they have put Me in seat, and the moment I sat these fellows have locked Me actually. They put kind of a seat belt and that bar and you can’t even think of getting out.
Anyhow, everything was ready and but these guys did not get in - only one or two guys. They put Me there and especially nobody sat with Me also - it’s a two seater, nobody sat with Me and even one or two guys who got in, they all go in other seats. I don’t know what they thought, what they are planning. Anyhow it started, first thing the moment it started My turban - I used to have a turban, the turban flew off. And 60 feet tall - height roller coaster, that turban is caught in the structure and it is flying like a kavi flag. And another one big problem is it got caught above the American flag, it is illegal. In that country you cannot have any flag taller than the American flag - and this flag is flying. First problem, you don’t know what for they will sue you in that country, no really. See, if somebody comes inside your house and falls you are responsible. I can’t understand all these laws. No, really. I studied their constitution - I studied their not constitution, their laws. Very funny - one thief came to one house to steal, and when he was climbing, there was one glass door which was not fixed properly - the roof and he fell, he sued the owner of the house and got money. No, really. Of course, I never tried second time.
Anyway, let Me tell the whole story. It’s I think 90 minutes - 90 minutes no, ma? 90-seconds, sorry, 90-seconds, 90-second roller coaster. 90-second is not, don’t think such a short time. If you sit in roller coaster, you will understand how long 90 minutes, seconds looks. And went this side and that side and that side and one full round. Finally, it came and stopped. I saw, without even My awareness, I am also exciting way, I am also shouting, "Ahhhh!" Not because of the roller coaster, because it stopped - not be.cause of the joy or excitement, because it stopped, saved you,"Ahhh, pah." It was such big relief, only then I understood why those fellows were excited - but too late. But when I came out, many people were standing and asking, “How it was Swamiji?” I said, "Great! Go, go, go! You should not miss this experience, go!"
Now let Me tell you what I wanted to convey through this experience. You see, after Enlightenment - for an Enlightened Being, all - you see, usually all of you meditate everyday, - in My case I do something against meditation, because I have to keep myself to the body, keep Myself down to the body. Even repeating mantra is against meditation - it is not meditation. Only for you it is elevating technique - verbalization. See, each level has a technique, the physical level if you do prana - yoga, you will be growing. In the pranic level: pranayama, in the mental level: repetition of mantra, in the etheric level: visualization of some form of the God or Guru. So each level has a technique. For My thing - you see if you are in physical level mantra is a elevating technique. If you are in nirvanic level mantra is pulling down technique, mantra is also a kind of a pulling down technique, that’s why I repeat.
Understand. That two - the 90-second, I don’t need to do anything, that roller coaster itself brought Me down. Then understand - understand the negative effects of roller coaster on system - Consciously it dulls you, makes you insensitive. In My case it did good for Me because I have to come down. In your case, where will you go down? Where more you will go down, you are already... So, never ever get into things which creates a strong adrenaline surge in you - that makes you completely insensitive, makes you completely dull and negative. Even the crime novels reading and all is a kind of excitement - you can see. Reading crime novels can directly lead you to depression. You don’t need anything - that’s like a you are taking something which will create depression in you. And then you come and complain, “I am depressed, what to do, Swamiji?” Remove all the things which adds depression to your being, then naturally you will be out of depression. Actually, if I go in a roller coaster once in a week, it will do lot of good for Me - means it will bring Me down to the - for that few moments I felt my boundary completely - that 90-second I felt the boundary completely, that’s why sometime I sit in the swing. Swing also make Me feel the boundary - that’s why I sit in the swing. Roller coaster is like a strong swing, very powerful swing. But in your case that is not going to help. Swing is ok, not much negative but this roller coaster will release so much of adrenaline inside your system. It will bring you - it will give you the excitement which your system cannot handle. So, it will be very joyful first few time - later on what will happen - you will be depressed whenever you can’t have that intense excitements. - you become insensitive.
