Swamiji reads the question: Mind can fantasize, but can heart fantasize?

Swamiji answers: Heart cannot fantasize. Heart just connects. Just falls in tune.

Swamiji reads the question: Which chakra is related to smoking and other addictions?

Swamiji answers: Swadisthana.

Swamiji reads the question: Next question. You are enlightened, okay. What makes you to share your experience with others?

Swamiji answers: Enlightenment itself is powerful enough to share it with others. Oh, you are asking, what makes Me…? Is it...that’s what you mean - ‘what makes Me….’ I can say, the overflowing ecstasy. It’s not like you can possess Enlightenment. Enlightenment will possess you. You understand? Once you have that experience, don’t think it’s like one more pet you have and you can keep it in one corner and you can have….it’s something like a object, don’t think. It will possess and shake you. You’ll be shaken to the core.

Now what you have is only one glimpse of Me. For this itself, you know...after this program I know what you will do. You will go around and talk about Me whole day. You’ll not be able to talk anything else about...anything else except Me. I know, I know for sure, you’ll not….forget about talking, you’ll not be able to think about anything else... except Me. No, I am challenging you! Are you married? Not yet... try. No, even for this small glimpse, you are like this means….and moreover I have….because you asked this question, I have to tell you the fact; not as a pride, just as fact I am telling you. I came down with this Enlightenment and I took this body just to share this Truth with others. That’s why I did not do anything else except sharing the Enlightenment with My….in My life. All I did from the young age, experimenting with it, so that I can share it in a better way with others, experimenting with the different techniques and sharing it with the world. That’s what I am doing from all the…..from the birth. So, it is a powerful experience which will possess you, so you will just radiate it. You won’t have anything else to do.

Swamiji reads the question: What’s the next question….You say that we have ourself created this body, the functional characteristics, I disagree with you. It was me who is….you say that we have ourself created this body and the functional characteristics. I disagree with you. If it was me who is the deciding authority, I would have made it with the best equal required proportion?

Swamiji answers: Understand. Don’t think you have the intelligence which you have now when you made this body. When you made this body, what intelligence you have with that only you made. Now your intelligence is updated... because of that you are saying. If you disagree, I don’t have a problem, but Truth is Truth, that’s all. If you disagree – you are okay.

Swamiji reads the question: Happenings in my life on psychological and spiritual growth, I have been trying to relate to my understanding of astrology as spiritual astrology from the timing aspect and thereby to understand astrology as science. Should I continue or drop it?

Swamiji answers: Astrology is a pure science. Alright again, tomorrow I will explain. Have this question; I’ll have a session on astrology. I’ll just have a session on astrology.

Swamiji reads the question: Even before meeting you, I had the vision of….vision to recite your name “Paramahamsa Nithyanandaya Namaha’, during a prayer session. Is this due to divine love intuition or a message from Sadguru. Who put this question?

Swamiji answers: It’s a connection. It’s...you can call it divine intuition or message from Sadguru, both one and the same. There is some connection earlier and it came up. Blessed are those who feel connected in this way. This kind of faith can never be shaken. This kind of trust will never be shaken, because it is extraordinary, experience. Even the faith which comes by this materializing and this small small chutta mutta miracles ☺ ☺ No, it can be shaken. I don’t know exact translation of that word ‘chutta mutta’. Anybody can translate that word?

Participant: not audible

Swamiji: Ah okay, that kind of words are okay.

Participant: not audible

Swamiji: Trivial….trivial is okay. Trivial is right word. Even faith which comes through that kind of miracles doesn’t stay. But this stays, when it comes through intuition. When it comes through this kind of connection, it just stays. I suffered a lot with this miracle mongerers, that is why I stopped completely. I saw the...these fellows are not that tuned, so...and moreover I am a person who radiates deep friendliness. So much of friendliness I radiate, for that kind of a...that a...miracle mongerers they can’t relate with Me. The miracle mongerers or mystery mongerers, can’t even feel I am a Guru, because I am so open, so free, laughing, just jumping. If you see Me, sitting with My ashramites, you’ll really feel jealous. No, it’s like a...a miracle mongerer cannot conceive Me as a Guru. He cannot conceive, he cannot….see, for a miracle mongerer, a serious kind of a person who had a constipation problem only...the face should be like a constipated, only that kind of a person feels like a Guru.

No really, long face... gazing somewhere... talking to somebody and neither he will understand what he is talking, nor the person will understand what he is talking and something will be spoken to somebody and person will be sitting and he will think – oh it is spoken to somebody and the connection will not there. But mystery mongerers feel only that kind of persons as Guru. Long beard and a...the whole...hmm… no smiling and that long beard. I don’t know why this beard and spirituality got associated. God! Anyhow, especially smiling is too much. Smiling and using these cool words, that and all is too much! Now you see, I have lot of time to work with the seekers, really contribute something to their life. I feel fulfilled. See, even if I leave My body today, I won’t have a problem. I won’t have feeling that I have not done something. I feel so fulfilled! For whatever life I lived, whatever age or time I lived on this Planet Earth, I have added to the Planet Earth more than what I can. More than...so I feel like fulfilled. That is the ultimate thing you see, that is the ultimate of everything. So with this small, small all those things, with this I never felt I am contributing what I wanted to contribute. But when I see people being transformed and living that jeevan mukta life, I feel, “Yes, I have done what I want to do.” This is what is My life.

So.... whenever I see disciples sitting in a deep silence or fulfilment or a gratitude, I feel this birth is worthy. I have done a right thing. I have done a right thing by Happening on the Planet Earth. Otherwise nothing else is...because I know how to create wealth. If...with My memory and intelligence and knowledge and understanding, if I start a...if I enter into the field of business, what will happen? No, whatever is needed for the business - I have. And with My orating skills, if I enter into politics...Bharatn politics needs only orating, nothing else. So I know every field. Anywhere I go, I can shine. It’s not like I don’t have anything else. I feel very clearly, any field I touch with My intelligence, I can make it. But nothing fulfils Me like when I see a disciple sitting with overflowing ecstasy and bliss. So this is what is My mission; nothing else. Otherwise if it just a power or money, you can do all this kind of...you can have any number of games and nothing wrong.

See, one more thing I wanted you to know - I am not complaining or disrespecting the Swamis or Gurus or Masters who do this miracles; it’s nothing wrong. You see, that is the way, they express themself. I want you understand and be aware of this; don’t think whoever is doing this, is some way wrong or cheap or lower...lower. I am telling you very clearly, what I feel.... what I feel. And I wanted you guys also not to expect this kind of things. Not only from Me, not from any Master. The real thing is converting man into Divine, transforming man into Divine.... not what water into wine. That all breweries are doing! That’s what breweries are doing na! Converting water into wine ☺ So that is not a real miracle. The real miracle is man into Divine, not water into wine. Then all breweries become God. In this road 7-8 breweries are there. Bangalore is the highest drinking city in whole Bharat; Highest drinking city - Bangalore. Next only is Calcutta. So, making water into wine is not a miracle. Making man to Divine is a miracle.

If you live as an unclutched being on the Planet Earth, My work is done. That’s all needs to be done. And everything else is for that only - organization, structure, this all, this, that, money, everything is for that only. This is the vision - making man live Enlightenment. For that whatever is needed create and play the game - over. Play the game as it required when it is required. That’s all. And when you have people who are living Enlightenment, radiating energy, tell them, “Ehh, share it with others. Do some little service. Give little medical care.” When I...especially when I see the poverty in Bharat, I feel like...give a little medical care, give little food and whatever we can. Just share it. Not to get some punya or some, all those things. Just share it; we are having, we have... just share it. That’s all. That’s all is the essence of life, essence of life. Never do service for some reason. Just do it, if you are overflowing. If you are overflowing - share it.

Alright, this session is all about overflowing.... Sahasrara chakra. Here I am sharing with you some of the important secrets, deep truths. There is no qualitative or quantitative difference between you and an Enlightened Being, except he feels contented in the inner and outer world. Please understand, there is no qualitative or quantitative….I wanted to emphasize both words - qualitative or quantitative difference between you and a living Master, an Enlightened Being, except one thing, he feels content about whatever he has in the inner world and the outer world. I want you to know very clearly, I have all problems you have in the inner world and outer world; understand... capital letter ALL problems – A-L-L - you have in the inner world and outer world. I have all problems, except one thing, I am contented. I feel okay. The only difference between you and Me, is ‘okay’. That’s all. No really... nothing else! That’s all. Suddenly, your whole quality is different. The moment you say, “Okay”, suddenly your whole quality is different. You are living Enlightenment.

The only difference between....how this ‘okay’ will happen? Understand. How this ‘okay’ will happen? You need to understand a deeper secret of life. If you are having certain amount of wealth now, intelligence now, relationships now, life ... is happening in you, please understand, all these have happened to you not as an accident; Existence really wants you to have this. You are qualified for it. Even if you die this moment, you will take birth again with all these facilities with you. Please understand. I am talking to you, some of the deeper secrets of life and death. How the life is happening. Life is a continuous expansion. If you have the amount of intelligence, for example - you are a doctor. You have this much of wealth. You have this decent of life. You have all these basic facilities, some 2 car, 2 house and all those things. Do not think, it happened to you as an accident. If you think, it happened to you as an accident, you’ll be afraid to die. You’ll be afraid of life. You may be thinking, “Any time it may be taken away from me if I die. Then I have to work again to get everything, who knows I’ll have that kind of circumstance, that kind of situation, that kind of everything, who knows…….” You have all kinds of misunderstandings, all kinds of insecurity, all kinds of feelings. I tell you, even if you die, you will take birth in a place, in a situation, in an ambience, where you’ll be little more than this.... not lower than this. This is the way life happens.

If you are holding on... to some position, which you are not worthy, even now, don’t think it will be left with you. It will be taken away from you. You are worthy of where you are. Understanding, ‘you are worthy of where you are’ - that is the first rule to bring confidence or contentment. That’s the first thing you need to understand. Existence is living through you. Please understand. I am sharing My enlightenment with you, because I feel fulfilled about it. Same way, you are having whatever you are having, because Existence wants to live through you. It wants to fulfil itself through you. When you achieve something great, Existence feels pampered, because it wants to achieve it through you. It wants to live it through you. You are not an accident. You are a clear incident.

I am not consoling you. I am giving you some consolation. I am not the person to console you. I am telling...stating the exact Truth. If you think, I am giving you confidence, consolation, positive thinking, you are wrong! I don’t do that job. I am not interested in that job. I am stating straight simple facts. I am stating straight simple truths. If you imbibe, get inspired, it is up to you, otherwise I don’t have a problem. Because I am not a positive thinker or I am not teaching positive thinking, I am not teaching….I am not having some self-confidence workshop. No!

That only fools do; all fools are doing all over the world. These positive thinking is the worst foolish idea I ever heard. Thinking itself is nonsense, then what about positive thinking? No, there are so many books written left and right. The moment you enter into that Landmark book stall, the whole shop, the whole bureau, the whole cupboard is filled with that positive thinking books. Understand. The moment you think, “I am healthy.” One soft, one corner of your mind is saying, “No, no, no, why are you lying?” Tell Me, how many of you guys were successful in positive thinking? Never! Even the person who wrote the book, will never be successful. I know, I know so many guys who wrote many books, about positive thinking and made money that’s all; nothing else. Positive thinking is a foolish idea. Don’t try to think positively and all. Know the Truth, then you will become positive; not that your thinking will become positive. Just know the truth, you will become positive, you will radiate positiveness.

Anybody who tries to think positive, will always have one part of him fighting with him. Just see, you can see, “No, I am healthy. I am healthy, I am healthy.” Tell hundred times! You will be very strongly telling inside you, “No, I am not healthy. I am not healthy. I am sick. I am just lying. I am just trying to cover my sickness.” You know it!

Just try any positive thinking. You will have a big drama in you. How many of you have tried this positive thinking, these kind of things? Then you know the fun. You know the fun. All I am telling you is, don’t try to be positive, try to have positive thinking and all. Just know the Truth, you will radiate positivity, which can never come by positive thinking. Positive thinking is like putting some cream on your skin. Knowing the Truth is really radiating positivity from inside. The work needs to be done little deeper level, not in the skin level. Not on the skin level. Positive thinking is more like a covering the septic tank with the lid. Is the word ‘septic tank’ exist in West? Same word? Okay. Covering the septic tank with lid is going to help?! No! Clear it out. The cover is no way going to cover it. How much ever it covers, you know! Can you...just because it is covered, can you sit on the septic tank and eat? You can’t, because you know it’s only cover! Same way, how much ever you try to have positive thinking, “No, no, no, I am healthy, I am happy, I am blissful, I am….” However you try to have, what will happen?

Participant: not audible

Swamiji: No… knowing the Truth is different and just thinking positively is different. Thinking positive and all those things...you see, I want you to know this story, then you will understand - the power of thinking positive.

You know the greatest, the positive thinking, that kind of the self confidence author... you know - Darl Gurney….Darl Carnegie…..Dale Carnegie... yes sorry. Dale Carnegie, he wrote 2 books – ‘How to win friends and influence people’ ‘How to stop worrying and start living.’ Any of you have read that book? Next to Bible, his books have been sold in the Planet Earth, do you know? Next to Bible! Next to Bible, practically he is second messiah. No, next to Bible, his books have been sold all over the world. In the first book - ‘how to stop worrying and start living’ - he writes about how to come out of the suicidal tendencies. That is the main theme. And the next book - ‘how to win friends and influence people’ - he is talking about how to have beautiful relationship with your spouse. That’s the main theme. How many of you have read these 2 books? I have read and I want you to know a biographical fact about his own life. He committed suicide because he was not able to cope up with his wife. No really! Understand. A man who wrote a book which is sold and read next to Bible!! Two main themes of the book, he was not able to keep up! He wrote whatever he was not able to keep up. In the night he will sit... whatever practical problems he faces and unable to solve, that same problem he will expand and expand and expand and will never give solution and that became a popular book.

See, when you read a book, when you see that author also had the same suffering, you feel a kind of sympathy towards him. And you continue to read and enjoy; that is what has happened. Please understand. That is what has happened. That is the main reason, why that book has become very popular. When you read, you feel connected, “Oh God! He is talking to me exactly the problem I have.” You don’t even think whether he is giving a practical solution. You only bother about, “Oh God, I feel really he is sympathetic towards me.” You know there is sympathy. There is somebody who is suffering the same problem you have and you feel as if you have a solution.

I can give you 2-3 tips - how to become a great philosopher. Just ...I think, already I told you once. Write all the problems you have in a very orating way, with all beautiful words and do not give solution. Because you yourself don’t know! Or give the solution what you have. Whatever you have is not a solution. No positive thinking is going to help. Know the Truth - that will help. You will radiate positivity. You will radiate positivity. Truth is - Existence is living through you. You are not an accident. Even if you think you are an accident, you are not an accident. Existence is feeling, really overflowing, it wants you to be where you are now.

You are not in the position, you are not where you are now, just as an accident. You are in the position where you are now, just as a clear planned miracle. Please understand. You are a miracle, not an accident. When you understand this truth, you are... Existence is living through you itself, it is fulfilling itself through you; you are a fulfilment for this whole existence. If you are not here, existence is going to miss you. If you are not here, the Planet Earth is going to miss you. That’s the Truth, otherwise why should you be here. Long before tsunami would have taken away you. And there are thousand reasons to take you away. Why should you be...left here? There is no reason and don’t think, “Oh, I am here because no accident happened in my life.” No! Thousand accidents could have happened. You are not here as an accident, you are not a misfit. Be very clear, Existence will miss you if you are not here. Only when you understand the Truth, it’s like a...when you understand….. that is why, I am trying to catch a right word….when Krishna says in Gita, “Dropping the body is nothing but dropping your cloth.” He means this only.

Even if...you will not find a big difference. You will just disappear here; you will appear in some place, almost in the same ambience, same kind of ambience, because you are qualified for it. If you have developed your quality, you will appear in a better ambience. That’s all. It’s a simple logic. It’s a simple truth. With this understanding, you will have a deep relaxation,” Oh God, I am worthy of what I am.”
