“Please understand, whenever you want to use this portable knowledge, I…”
Please understand, whenever you want to use this portable knowledge, I don't have a problem. You are free to use. Many people ask Me, “All these meditation techniques, can I teach for others?” I tell, “You are free to use. It’s not My property. Property of Buddha, Shankara, Mahadeva, Krishna. You have full freedom to teach. I don't have a problem.” I think somebody give me a big list of all the classes there. (mentioned participant’s name) Oh, please be seated. You can take all this knowledge, whoever wants can use. I‘ve no problem. I’m clearly segregating the people who are here for portable knowledge and the people who are here for non-portable experience, people who want non-portable experience. Moreover, when you receive non-portable experience, really you feel like committing with your whole life. You won't even you feel; it will just happen.
When you close your eyes, start meditating, you’ll be just sitting with your regular life and dress. When you open your eyes, suddenly you’ll see, you’re with mala and bracelet. It just happens. All I feel, let us accept and acknowledge, pay gratitude to each one's contribution, each one's contribution. When you are given Gayatri, you will be given new name. You know, all brahmanas, any of you received Gayatri formally, you’ ll be given a new name. During the Gayatri Initiation. See, it's ’like a, when you are initiated, you are a new being, new person. That's why you are given a new name. It is from vedic tradition.
Reading delegate’s question: “My age is seventy, I can’t change.” Who? (says participant’s name) Ah, When you become eighty, take the name. I’m going to be here quite a long time, don't worry. We’ll have fun. Coming at the young age to the masters, master is the best thing can happen for your life. So much of suffering can be avoided. So much of suffering can be avoided.
(Reading delegates question): “You look differently in different times, sometimes far away from reach, some time very near in my heart, sometimes very womanly in appearance. Is it my view in which I look at you or anything else?”
When enlightenment happens, physically you may be male or female, but in the being level you go beyond. Understand? Enlightened being is neither male nor female or gay, He is beyond all the three. It's like, eh how I hold the kerchief and drop it when I don't want, I’m holding this body. So, just I, just because I hold this kerchief, you think that this kerchief has become male or female now? No, it is just an object. Same way, the master’s body also becomes simple object through which he relates. That's all.
Sometime whatever you want to see, you will see. That's all. Some time you will see Rama, Krishna, Govinda, whoever you want to see. Whatever you are praying, you will see that.
Reading delegates question: “During meditation in the last session You suddenly appeared and stood on my navel centre when I was concentrating on it; being standing there for few minutes, followed by Lord Shiva visible in all chakras for the rest of the meditation. I couldn’t believe it and felt blessed. (Participant’s name).”
Wonderful experience; only thing don’t be stuck with these experiences. These are good, but as long as you see Me as form, you have not had the ultimate truth. It’s only you are growing. Maybe you can say, it’s like eh, if you see a board ‘Bangalore - 16 Kilometre’, it’s a good sign you are traveling in the right track. But it’s not that Bangalore has come. So don’t stop near the sign boards.
Somebody is asking: “Do we have technology for converting budhus into Buddhas? What else do you think I am doing now? (All laughing) You see if I carve budhus into Buddhas, it looks very condescending. But I am telling people budhus. But even if I don’t tell, truth is truth, na? (All laughing)
“So how many budhus have become Buddhas so far?” I can say less than fifty. Fifty I tried; less than fifty. I can say at least twenty five. I can say at least twenty five. If you want to find out, I, for some technical reasons I don't release the names. It creates all complications for them, for their simple life. If you want to find out, try to live around the people who are living closely with Me for last few years, you will be able to smell the same energy, the same intensity in them.
Delegate: ”They look like You.”
Look like? Looking like Me is not the thing. I don't how do they look like Me. I don't understand. Anyhow..
He’s not leaving me. (Swamiji laughs)
Reading delegate’s question. “As part of Tamil NSP You have been in the dining hall at least once a day, but here you don't serve, turn at all. In the dining hall we expect you at lunch. (Swamiji laughing)
In Tamil NSP I go and serve everyday at least once. He gave me also yesterday letter, but somehow I avoided that letter, today I.. (All laughing) All right, I’ll... One big problem in the programs conducted inside the ashram you know; one good positive thing you have a energy field and the Banyan tree and all those things. One bad thing is I am too much caught in so many things. Continu.. The moment I go out of the hall there will be twenty fellows standing for some instruction, report. That's the reason I'm not able to come and serve in the dining hall. But at least I will try; today I’ll try. And moreover, there I go and serve because usually the people get stomach problems when they do this, all this vata pitta kapha balancing. To heal the stomach I energise the food so that they’ll all be healed. They will not have much aa problem.
But here food is already energised, everyday it goes for offering. Please understand, all these four days you are eating the offered prasad, energised food, so nothing much, no, not much problem.
Somebody’s asking, I don't want to read their name, very personal question:
“After the prarabdha, after the desire meditation, I know I have a deep lust, but I want to get rid of it. How to?“
I tell you, if it is your prarabdha don't even bother about getting rid of it. You will see that lust has enough of power and capability, intensity; it will bring right person to your life. See understand, lust is not a dead energy. It's a living, intelligent, intense energy. Respect it. If it is agamya, it’ll die. If it’s prarabdha which you brought, it will bring the right person to your life and give you the deep fulfillment and of course, beyond fulfillment, the bliss.
So, I don't think you should start working for suppressing or dropping, You should only bring more and more awareness to it. If it is agamya it will drop. If it is prarabdha it’ll get fulfilled.
Reading a delegate’s question: “Would you please explain the flowering of the emotional body? When we are crying in joy, is that it? When I think of sharing Your meditation and teaching with other, I feel joy in my third chakra. Is that flowering or is it cleaning, cleansing?”
It is flowering. In cleansing you won't feel joy, you will only feel peace. In flowering, only you will feel bliss.
Let’s enter into the initiation. Maybe just two minutes we’ll meditate and give our prayers and respects to all the great masters who developed this science of initiation into the truth and who preserved this truth on the planet earth. Please close your eyes and sit straight. You don't have to tie the ribbon. Just sit straight and close your eyes. Pray intensely to all of them to give you the experience of the truth, the initiation.
Swamjii chants:
Sadashiva Samaarambhaam Shankaracharya Madhyamaam | Asmadaachaarya Paryanthaam Vande Guru Paramparaam ||
[00:10:38] Understand, this truth was transmitted only from being to being. You do not know which moment the truth will click with you. Don't miss even a single statement which I’m uttering. Any moment it may click. It may just click with you. You may feel connected to these words, to the truth which I'm uttering. First thing I want to explain, how you clutch, connect, and create your so-called mind.
Please understand, even if you have been initiated, even if you have been initiated already, do not bother. Listen intensely, you might have been initiated into any mantra. Even the same initiation of unclutching you might have had. If you already done an NSP or Nithya Dhyan, you would have had this initiation. But don't think you already had initiation. Just sit with the fresh beginner's mind. It can take you to the deeper level clicks, deeper level initiation.
How you clutch and create your mind. Let me explain with a simple diagram, then you’ll be able to understand what I'm saying. Usually, how you get thoughts and how it flows inside you:
(Swamiji writing on a board)
Your thoughts are different shape, different size, different length, different colour, different frequency. They’re all just flowing. They some time even overlap.
(Swamiji writing on a board)
Please understand, very important but basic truth about you, your mind, life. You can say one thought related to some joy and something is related to some suffering. Again some joy; then again some suffering, some painful thoughts. Then some joy thoughts, then some painful thoughts, some suffering. Like this, different different thoughts are coming, mixing and mingling. Am I right? Please understand. Different different thoughts are continuously flowing inside you. You are basically bundle of unconnected, illogical, independent thoughts.
If you want to experiment, just you can take a few minutes and pen down whatever is coming from inside. Please let me explain, then you can start doing. Whatever comes inside, if you just pen down, you’ll understand there is no logical connection between one thought and other thought. For example, if you see a dog in the street, immediately you will start remembering all the dogs which you have seen, in your, when you were young and the fear which you had or the attachment you had for the pets. Then you’ll remember the young age, the teacher under whom you studied. Then you’ll remember that place where the teacher stayed.
Please understand, there is no logical connection between the dog which you saw on the street and the teacher under whom you studied in young age. But suddenly the mind has slipped to.. this is the way your mind flows, even though both of them barked at you, that is different. But there’s no logical connection between the dog which you saw in the street and the teacher under whom you studied in young age. But your mind just slips. You are nothing but a bunch of unconnected, independent, illogical, unclutched thoughts.
Let us first understand this statement. This truth, let us understand. Let us experiment with it. Just sit now, take up the paper and pen. Please understand, pen down whatever goes on inside. If you, if you, if you feel like, “Oh, I’m not feeling like writing anything. I’m feeling bored”, write that also. Whatever goes on inside. As if.. Please listen, one minute. Please listen, then you can start. Have you heard this transcription softwares, the Dragon. The medical, eh all the doctors are using now? Doctors are using for medical transcription, the transcription software, whatever you speak it will transcribe. If a transcription software is connected to your mind, how it will transcribe. Without missing one sound, one word, don't edit, no grammar change, no phonetic change, no spelling change, no pronunciation change, whatever goes on just pen down for few minutes. Just for few minutes, please start.
