“When I say that I became enlightened, fulfilled at the age of twelve,…”
When I say that I became enlightened, fulfilled at the age of twelve, let me tell you exactly what happened in me. Suddenly I saw that I physically made a decision to be fulfilled. That’s all. Please understand, that’s all. I am breaking one of the important parts. When I say that I became enlightened at the age of twelve, all that I did was to take a decision to live my fulfillment. I think it is enough if you understand this one idea. Just this one idea. You are continuously struggling with so many different ideas like ‘how will I be fulfilled? , I want to be fulfilled, but I don’t know’. Actually, if you follow the concept of ‘ I want to be fulfilled, but I don’t know how’, then you will suffer for some time, but you will learn the lesson. You will learn the lesson that I don’t have to suffer, I don’t have to struggle. I am struggling even though there is no enemy in front of me. I am just fighting with the air and trying to slap the air. Sometimes in the process, I slap too much and I slap myself. That is what is happening. And then you say that the other person slapped you. He is my enemy. Please understand that nobody is slapping you. You are trying to slap your enemy with so much force, that you slap yourself. Understand that when I say I became enlightened, all I did was that physically I have decided to live my fulfillment. So all you need to do to live your fulfillment is that you have to just physically decide. Any word that I use for explaining this will create complications. That is the problem. I am trying to master you, but you are constantly mastering me. There are only two ways of living. One way is to feel constantly feel unfulfilled and the other way is to feel constantly fulfilled. Both the feelings are independent of your outer world existence. Please understand that both the feelings are independent of your outer world existence. Unfulfilment and fulfillment is totally independent of the outer world existence. It is purely dependent upon your decision. Now what do you want to decide? That’s all. I can also be unfulfilled thinking that I have just hundred temples, while other organizations have seven hundred temples. I just don’t think like that and feel unfulfilled. That’s why I am sitting here in this throne. You also decide that you just won’t think of being unfulfilled. That’s all. You will get your throne. These things are so simple that I am feeling shy to talk about all these things. Especially of late, really I am feeling shy to talk about these things. These are such simple things. The difficulty is only in conscious decisions. So I am not going to talk much about these things. I am only going to help you take the decisions more and more physically, which means shake your root chakra. Did any of you practice the technique of just lifting your body by the spine when you get up? Hold yourself from the root chakra and lift yourself from the spine and move and feel your body from that space. Sis any of you practice? Oh god ! So the others are all paramahamsa’s. They don’t want to practice. They probably think ‘ let Him talk. What is there? We are all enjoying.
Question: Not audible in the speaker
Answer: Perfectly alright.Don ‘t worry. You will see that place getting loosened. Now you will always hold it very tight. When that space starts breathing, it will become loose. Good. You will feel very light.
I will only help you to see fulfillment, to feel fulfillment, to live fulfillment. Consciously decide to live your fulfillment. Just mother these few ideas. Nothing else. Just mother these few truths physically, not just verbally. If you decide mentally, then the moment you say ‘I am fulfilled’, the mind says that ‘ no, no, I am struggling with fulfillment. I don’t know when I will be fulfilled. I should Swamiji about how to get fulfilled.’ By the time you have made one statement, another ten statements are ready and you are in the nonsensical rut. You will never be able to come out. When I say physically decide, the body has no contradiction. You have only one body. You can have two minds, but only one body. When I say physically decide, simply decide physically that I am going to live fulfillment. Nothing else. So understand that I told you very simple example that I can also sit and worry. This means that unfulfillment is in no way related to the outer world.
Fulfillment and unfulfillment are both independent of your outer world existence. You can feel fulfilled and act out of fulfillment or you can feel deeply unfulfilled and continue to act out of unfulfillment. Any act done out of unfulfillment leads to more and more unfulfillment and any act done out of fulfillment leads to more and more fulfillment. That’s all. Simple logic.
This moment gives birth to next moment. This moment, the idea which you mother inside you, that gives birth to your next moment. This moment, if you are mothering unfulfillment, you are going to give birth to the next moment, which will be an unfulfilled moment. The idea that you are mothering or mother-in- law ing that is going to decide the next moment. If you are constantly mothering unfulfillment, naturally your life will be unfulfillment. It is just simple conscious decision.
Look inside. There are thousands of things which you have that many don’t have. Take your eyes for example. There are millions who don’t have eyes. Then, take your hearing ability. There are millions who don’t have hearing ability. You have the ability to talk. There are millions who cannot talk. Take your ability to think. There are billions who cannot think. ( Swamiji laughs and the crowd roars with laughter). It is all just a conscious pure decision to feel fulfilled. Every subject I am talking on is all completely interlinked. They are not two different subjects. I am just using two different words. That’s all.
From yesterday, through all the three sessions, I am trying to drive you into the same central space. I am only using different words. But the space into which I am trying to drive you is the same space. I am using the seven chakras and seven different paths, but I am trying to push you to the same space and spot. When you decide to drop all the comparisons and not mother the comparisons you will drop into fulfillment. When you decide to unlock or loosen the decisions you made, then once again you are going to be in fulfillment.
Even in the Muladhara, the moment you decide to drop fantasies, you will fall into fulfillment. Now just decide that you will do everything with deep fulfillment and decide not to mother the unfulfillment feeling even if it comes up in me. Just decide not to encourage it or listen to it or say yes to it. Consciously, decide ‘ I am not going to mother the unfulfillment. Whatever happens, let it happen”. Let me assure you that by feeling fulfilled, you are not going to lose anything. It is just simple conscious decision. I tell you that the ideas with which you built your mind are all just string arts ( an art of strings made into shapes with the help of board pins for holding the strings). All you need to do is to pull the pins out and drop the ideas. That’s all. Nothing else. These pins can all be pulled out by strong physical decision.
See, if I am talking, it is like me pulling out the pins. But if you take a physical decision, then it is asking to the board just ejecting all the pins. The board itself kicks out all the pins. Just decide. Nothing else. Don’t go on asking how to decide. JUST DECIDE. Now, you have to go and eat. Will you be thinking ‘now I have to go and eat. I have to decide. How should I decide to eat?’
You know very well you have to get up, move your leg and go and eat. In the same way, just look inside and decide ‘ I am not going to mother unfulfillment. It is my choice. It is there inside because I am mothering it. When I decide that I am not going to mother, it cannot be there’. It has to disappear with just your decision. So decide not to mother unfulfillment. Just sit and remember all the wonderful things showered on you.
Question: Swamiji, can this concept be applied to pain also?
Answer: Yes. If you have a leg pain, be grateful that you have a leg. There are millions who don’t have a leg. If you have a head ache, be grateful that you have a head. Millions do not have a head though they think they have.( Swamiji laughs).Sometimes, they think they have without having and sometimes, they think they don’t have by having. So this concept can be used for anything. Be grateful that you are still breathing, you are still aware, you are sensitive, you can experiment, and you can experience something other than you. You are aware. Just for that be grateful. There are millions of things like trees etc which cannot be aware of any other thing except them. Stones cannot be aware of even themselves. So you can be grateful that you are not a stone. So anything which is happening, let us feel fulfilled. When you start feeling fulfilled for every incident that is happening, then you are in Jeevan Mukthi. That's all is jeevan mukthi. Then you have nothing to complaint. I tell you, that it is only from this consciousness that the highest creation comes out. If you are struggling and working, you may create one dam, or a few buildings, but if you are relaxing and allow the consciousness to feel fulfilled, you will create universes. So you decide whether you want to create few dams and buildings or universes. You may think that the dams and buildings will be legally in my name, while the Universe will not be in my name legally. Even if it is so, what are you going to do ?
So, understand that when you are relaxed in your inner space. In fulfillment, even the dams and buildings that you create will be much better. You will contribute a lot to you and to the civilization. All you need is a simple conscious decision inside you that ‘ I am going to live fulfillment. I am not interested in living constant unfulfillment. There are thousands of things that I can celebrate and be happy for having it.’
See, if you make a list of what you have and what you don’t have, both the lists will be endless. Is it not. You can start with what you don’t have say for example a private jet and go on and on and on. On the other hand you can also start with what you have, say for example, your dress, ability to breathe, ability to hear etc
Question : The whole spiritual path is to realize your potential and as I understand that I have not realized my potential. So in a way, I can be more fulfilled ?
Answer: Be fulfilled now and from fulfillment you move to more fulfillments and from there to even more fulfillment. But it is not about moving from unfulfillment to fulfillment. That never happens. So fulfill yourself this moment.
Question: So the whole spiritual path is the path of fulfillment?
Answer: It is the path of fulfillment to more fulfillments. Not unfulfillment to fulfillment. We always think that now I am unfulfilled and tomorrow I will be fulfilled. No. Feel fulfilled NOW. Decide NOW and be fulfilled. You will then have more and more fulfillment. That is different. See , the ultimate experience has to happen NOW. But ultimate is not final. The same ultimate will be happening in a greater form tomorrow, day after tomorrow and so on. So the ultimate has to be felt NOW. There is no unfulfillment and fulfillment. You may think that now I am unfulfilled, but by tomorrow Swamiji will make me fulfilled. NO. Be fulfilled NOW. You will then explode and keep on exploding into more fulfillments.
You will feel deeper and deeper fulfillment. As of NOW, you should be complete, full. If death comes, you should say, ‘ Ok come on, let’s go. I’m done’. That fulfillment should be NOW. Let anything happen, but NOW remain fulfilled. If you are fulfilled NOW, then you are a jeevan muktha. Over. Naturally, if you are constantly mothering fulfillment this moment, next moment will be fulfillment.
The idea that you have to merge in me, comes from the idea that you are away from me. The moment you think that you have something separate from me, you are being egoistic. So just drop even the idea to merge. Understand that you are at least in this physical space with me. Thousands of people don’t get this opportunity. Just celebrate this space. Maybe whenever needed, this space will become closer and closer. Just celebrate what you have. Just decide. As I said you can make two lists of those that you have and those that you don’t have. You can look at the list of what you don’t have and continuously feel unfulfilled, which will never end, not just in this janma, but in any janma. Or you can see things that you have and start celebrating this moment. Whether you want to look at things that you have and celebrating from this moment or whether you want to look at things that you don’t have and continuously worry about them, is your choice. You can decide. You have the FREEDOM.
See, even the idea to merge in me, comes from certain nearness, a conscious nearness. The Moon realizes the black patches on it, only in its own light. By its light itself, it shows the black patches on it. So by your own conscious growth only, you have the urge to merge with the divine. So just celebrate that you have grown this much and that you have this much of seeking. You have a strong urge. Celebrate that. Whatever you have celebrate that and feel fulfilled by mothering it.
So just be aware that you are human. You have a conscious freedom. The moment you know that you have a problem, just tear yourself. Be a Narasimha. Be a Rudra. Be a KalaBhairava. The moment you have a problem, just stand up. What do you mean by saying ‘oh swamiji, I have a low self esteem. Can you tell me how to come out of it? Please give me a technique for it’. Just Stand up. Just stand up. What more technique do you want from me. The moment you know that you have a problem, just tear yourself. I tell you, all techniques are just useless.
See, the Guru’s who give techniques are very successful, because, they support your laziness and postpone it. See you know that you have low self esteem, but you don’t want to realize it now, break it and come out NOW and you ask for a technique. They also give you a technique asking you to practice it for twelve years and saying that you will come out of your self esteem. And you are very happy about that. That’s the problem. People are very unhappy with me because I am very straight. But what to do? This is the way in which truth will be transmitted. See sometimes, just be straight and let the truth hit you. Be a Kala Bhairava. I know that I have a low self esteem. Come on , let me stand up this moment. After all, it’s your legs, hands, body and system. So who else can save you?
Somehow, being innocent or being ignorant and weak is associated with sanctity and spirituality in Bharat. You think that if you are weak and timid, then God will appear in front of you and ask ‘ Oh My son what do you want?’. ( The crowd laughs) . So do not ask for some technique or method to help you. Do not ask for a walking stick, or one crutch for this hand and one for the other and one for the leg also. Then after getting three crutches, you will ask for one more crutch to handle all the three crutches, because you will not know to handle the three crutches. Come on! Just stand up. Only if you stand up as a human being, I can transform you as the divine. If you have a problem even being a human being, then I think you will not even start the journey. Just be very straight. This is what I was saying yesterday, when I said just be physical.
If I give you some technique, you really feel comfortable. You immediately say ‘this Swamiji knows lot of things. He is great’. But actually you don’t understand that it is cheating. See, I can tell you some technique just for the sake of it for example say ‘ look into the third eye and roll your head and then catch your ears with your fingers and pull them again and again and roll on the ground from here to there for twenty minutes or so and so on’. ( The crowd roars with laughter). I can give you all such kinds of techniques and then you feel ‘ he is a great Master’. You will go and tell others that ‘I went to Paramahamsa Nithyananda and told him my problem, He gave me a solution.’ The other person will ask you ‘ are you practicing the solution?’. You will say ‘ forget about that. That we will discuss later. But he gave me a solution.’ ( Again the crowd is in laughter)
You praise all kinds of solutions without practicing or experiencing. When you practice, you will realize that no solution works. In the end, any solution will work only when you take a jump. As I told you, one part of the journey has no bridge, or comfort or logical answers. Its only jumping. I am putting you in that part of the journey straight away. Usually people say that they will cross the bridge when it comes. But you don’t understand that one part of the journey has no bridge and you have to just jump only. In fact I tell you, that just jump and wherever you land, the journey ends there. At that spot, you just need to be a Kaala Bhairava. Stand up, as there is no technique, no method and no support. Truth is a pathless land. At one part, one area, just decide that this is the truth and I have to live. That’s all. I am living. It’s like hitting yourself consciously. Hit your body with this truth. Nothing else can be done.
Either you can keep on postponing facing the truth in the name of techniques, or you can just stand up and face it. I am telling you so much because no technique can help you. I have seen people practicing the chanting of Rama, Krishna and Govinda for thirty or forty years. I have seen all kinds of Sadhu’s, who stand on one foot for twelve years or doing Pancha Tapas for thirty five years. I have seen all kinds of Sadhu and people. The truth is that there is one part where there is no path, no bridge and you just have to jump. Till you do that, nothing else will help. ( Applause from the crowd )
That’s the spot. So just stand and just jump. You know for example that you have low self esteem. Simply decide that you are not going to suffer with it and mother it anymore. Simply decide to break it. Just a straight physical decision. Your mind may say ‘ no no, now I may decide but later I will suffer’. So tell your mind ‘ All right, let me suffer. What is there? Let me suffer. What can be done?’ . Till the suffering teaches you, at least suffer. If you hold on to technique, you will blame the technique and continue to escape from the truth.
When I say the word physical, I mean decide fully with your body, because as of now, you are this body only. So decide fully with the body that you will have fulfillment. Decide with whatever you are NOW. See, when the decision goes inside you strongly, it becomes a part of your muscles. I want you to make the decision so strongly, that the decision resides in every muscle of your body and every muscle resonates with the decision, which is a wild and a strong decision. The decision itself should be so powerful, that all the problems should simply shiver, get frightened and escape away.
See, when an elephant comes out of the river and shakes its head once, the street dogs that are standing in the bank and barking, will run without even turning. They will simply walk backwards. They will not take the chance of turning and running. They will just walk backwards, while continuing to growl and barking and simply run from that place. See, the entire two days, I am talking on only one subject. I may be talking from different dimensions, but I am cornering you on only one subject. I am hitting you on only one subject. I am trying to catch you by your throat, so that your entire consciousness will just stand up. Taking a strong g decision to break all your issues is the ultimate life solution. That is why from yesterday, I may be talking about different life solutions, different paths but finally I am landing only on this one subject. I have decided that the first two days, I will shake you only on this subject and I will see that you do it.
You may not have confidence, but I have the confidence. That is the Master’s presence. Understand clearly, you not having confidence on you and Master having confidence on you works on you, because I am not going to leave you. You may ask your questions constantly and I will repeat my answer constantly. It is like a fight between you and me, on whether are you going to put forth more questions, or am I going to give more answers; whether you are going to shout more or am I going to shout more. Naturally, I am going to shout more, because I have the mike and I am a professional shouter. ( The crowd is in laughter and Swamiji too). I am trained for this.
So again and again and again, I am just going to make you stand. Nothing else. That is the ultimate solution. I can give you some technique now itself. I have thousands. That is why all the techniques, I have printed as a book and published. It is for the initial people. Many people tell me ‘ Swamiji, if you print and publish all the techniques, who will come for the program?’ I reply to them saying that I don’t want people who need techniques to come to me. I don’t want to waste my time with them. Let them all be with my book and with my talks on YouTube. People who are really interested in working with me, alone need to be around me. Working with me is real joy. People who want to see me in action, let them come and stay near me. So I will feel fulfilled. Money is not everything in life. I tell you honestly, I feel fulfilled, when I work with this kind of a small, intense and interesting group, who are people who are interested in transformation and not people who think they are interested in transformation.
If you think you are interested in transformation, you will not take the risk of being here for twenty one days for this program. If you are here, it means you are interested and so now I can tell you the truth that all the techniques are just useless things and whatever said and done, ultimately you have to just stand up, because that part has no bridge. Even I cannot give you my hand. I can only be standing on the other side and ask you to jump with reassurance. I may create a fake idea of a bridge existing and tell you that I came by that only just to reassure you. But with you, I don’t even want to do that. I trust your intelligence. I don’t have to tell lies even to inspire you. In fact it does not become a lie when it is told to inspire people, but even then I do not want to tell you such lies.
You can just stand up. You know that you have low self esteem. So just stand up. You may ask me that will this take you to a level of high self esteem or ego. Understand that any idea you have about yourself, which is less that you being a GOD, is low self esteem. Because the truth is that you are the ultimate divine. You are consciousness. You are much much much more worthy than this whole planet earth. Each and every beings consciousness is worthy than any number of planet Earths. Your consciousness, stress free and joyful life is worthy than any number of planet Earths. The ultimate thing you need to have is stress free, joyful, ecstatic fulfilled life. Do not compromise that for anything. Even if you are on the streets, it is OK. You will live like a GOD on planet Earth. Nothing else is worth it. Be first priority and preference to that. With that whatever gathers around you, let it gather or else let it not. There is no need. One more thing is that you don’t need to have a wrong mental setup that if you give first priority to this, then you will not get the outer world things. You always carry that prejudice. Do not carry it because it is not the truth. Your mind lives in extremes. It is not required to be in extremes. It can be multi dimensional.
