“Inner Awakening!”
Inner Awakening! This program aims at reproducing all components of Jeevan Mukthi – Living Enlightenment in you! Please understand. If I have to introduce this program, I have to introduce Jeevan Mukthi – Living Enlightenment. Even the word Living Enlightenment looks very superficial, so I’ll better use the word Jeevan Mukthi.
From time immemorial, all the thinking, actions, everything humanity does is towards this Jeevan Mukthi. Maybe they take short route or long route, but the goal is Jeevan Mukthi. Just how the Upanishad describes – “Anandena jaathani jeevanthi.” From Bliss they come out, towards bliss they move, in bliss they dissolve. All of us, continuously, knowingly or unknowingly move towards Jeevan Mukthi – Living Enlightenment.
I have designed so many programs to reproduce one component of Jeevan Mukthi. Each program aims at reproducing one component of Jeevan Mukthi. See the Jeevan Muktha radiates, a person who is living enlightenment radiates so many wonderful qualities, so many different energies, one is unclutched being, engramless mental setup and pure energy centres. Health, mental wellness, constant excitement for no reason, causeless auspicious feeling. Feeling that everything is auspicious for no reason.
Just the whole thing! The whole existence is causeless auspiciousness. All these things are different components of Jeevan Mukthi. So each one of the programs I have created aims at reproducing one component of Jeevan Mukthi in you. For example LBP program, life bliss program that aims at reproducing the component of Jeevan Mukthi of the pure energy centers which results in physical wellness, physical health and mental wellness.
LBP level 2 aims at creating an engramless being, engramless mental setup. Mental setup without any samskaras and demystifies the secrets of death and after death. LBP level 3 -I have created to live in that constant ecstasy - Bhava Samadhi that is what is Bhakthi Spurana. And Aatma Spurana is created– LBP level 4 is created to live an unclutched life, living in an unclutched way is one component of Jeevan Mukthi. Living in Bhava Samadhi, causeless ecstasy, reasonless ecstasy, reasonless excitement, reasonless joy. That is what I call causeless auspiciousness. You will constantly feel everything is auspicious. But you don’t know the reason.
In Sanskrit we have a very beautiful word – Shiva! Shiva means causeless auspiciousness. That is the exact meaning of the word Shiva. Feeling like Shiva, knowing very clearly that everything is auspicious for no reason. Without any reason, feeling everything is auspicious.
To reproduce this component I have designed the program Bhakthi Spurana. Living the Jeevan Mukthi in all 3 states – dream, deep sleep and waking state. For that only the healers initiation – Jeevan Mukthi deeksha. And radiating the enlightenment in all its components, not just in your personal life, expressing it in the form of pure wisdom.
Please understand when you start Living Enlightenment you start developing a nadi called medha nadi, which is responsible for pure wisdom. Taking decisions without dilemma. To reproduce this component the Nithyanandam. I have designed the program Nithyanandam. Now through this Inner Awakening I am collecting all these programs and adding something more whatever I wanted to say, I was not able to say, whatever I wanted to express I was not able to express because of so many reasons. I am adding everything and reproducing all components of Jeevan Mukthi – Living Enlightenment in every being.
Scientist is a person who creates formula to understand the happenings of the outer world. Mystic is a person who creates formula to reproduce the experiences of the inner world. Scientists create sutras. Mystics create shastras. This whole Inner Awakening, in a way you can call it the shastra expressed from my very experience.
Through Nithya Yoga I am reproducing the Jeevan Muktha shareera – the body of the Living Enlightened. Through LBP reproducing the energy centres of Jeevan Muktha. Through LBP level 2 reproducing the engramless mental setup of a Jeevan Muktha.
Through each program I am reproducing different components of Jeevan Mukthi – Living Enlightenment. I invite all of you to go through the whole program intensely and experience, radiate all different components of Jeevan Mukthi. All I ask of you is just be physical!
This is exactly what I am saying in all the Inner Awakening introductions. See in each Inner Awakening, and LBE I add many things new but there is one thing which I never delete or which I can’t delete is this one instruction – Be Physical! We forgot how to be physical. We lost touch with our very body. We have traveled too much away from our body.
Please understand your bodies are no more vehicle for you. It’s not home for you. It’s more or less like a hotel room. Just keep all your luggages. Go wherever you want in the daytime. Do whatever you want. Come back and sleep in the nighttime. Because you are sleeping, you are not even enjoying what is there in the room. We lost touch with our bodies.
Please understand. All I want you to do is just be physical. You will be completely open to this very presence of the master. Please understand! Just day before yesterday I came back from Salem where we had the one of the biggest NSP – second level LBP program.
Thousands of people attended. One small girl, maybe you would have heard about that girl who gets chocolate from my photograph everyday. She bought one bag full of chocolates. All international chocolates. Nothing is available in Bharat. All international brands. She is staying in a small town nearby, near Bangalore only – Hosur. You can’t imagine! I can say surely those chocolates will not be available in Hosur. She is bringing all these international brand chocolates, she brought in a full bag and said, “Swami! These all came from your photograph.”
The other kids or the other people, they were also asking “Swamiji how come only she is getting we are not getting? What is the secret?” Let me tell you the secret! Just one line – when she asked me, she was physical. There is no theories in her mind. There is no concepts in her mind. There is no her own meaning for my words in her mind. It is simple, straight.
Please understand. I am not promoting the idea of getting chocolates from the photograph. Please understand. I am not promoting the idea. You can get chocolate from the shop. Why unnecessarily waste an enlightened master’s energy for chocolate. I am not promoting that idea.
All I am saying, being physical makes you experience miracles in your life. It makes you completely available, open for everything! Any spiritual process is possible only with a person who is physical. The word devotion, Vitharka, surrender, all these words are loaded with too many different meanings and used in wrong places many times.
That is the reason I don’t want to use any of these words. And all these words has some component, which may not be directly required for enlightenment. See even this surrender! Surrender has so many components which is not required for enlightenment.
Maybe it is required if you are going to become part of my sangha. But many of the parts of surrender is not required for your enlightenment. That is why I don’t want to use the word surrender – No! Even devotion – not required! Devotion is not required for your enlightenment. If you are interested in taking this science to others, at that time you may require a little bit. Otherwise you yourself to radiate enlightenment, you don’t need devotion.
Same way vitharka – please understand! I am even dropping the necessity of vitharka. Even vitharka is not a requirement. If it is there, you will enjoy even my physical presence. You will just enjoy! The actions or the happenings. It maybe a little juicy. It is almost like a lubrication, that’s all! But it is not a basic necessity. It is not a basic requirement for your enlightenment. But being physical is a basic necessity for me to start the process.
For me to start this Jeevan Mukthi process. If you are just sitting with words, words, words. Then any word I utter it’ll touch only your intellectual zone. Just the intellectual zone. Any word I utter you will think Oh! I heard this word! I know this word. It will just be nothing but repeating the buzzwords, which you know and I know. That’s all! It will be nothing but confirming the buzzwords which you all already know and which I also know. Nothing else!
Maybe we will spend time in knowing more and more words, which really I am not interested. If somebody is interested in just my words, my you tube discourses are enough. I wanted you to know whatever you are going to listen from me verbally in these 21 days – everything, every word, every concept, every truth is already in you tube.
You don’t need to be here 21 days. It’s available freely. In the Hindu tradition we believe, knowledge is free. So if you are here just for knowledge, or for words. Everything is already available in you tube. So if it is just word game. You want buzzwords, knowledge - then you tube is enough. You don’t need to be here physically. I I am not here to do word game for these 21 days. I am very sincere about reproducing all the components of Jeevan Mukthi in you. So I sincerely request all of you to be physical.
Means just be body! If you are just body, any movement you do inside my presence. Any small movement, that gap, every gap happening in you. Every movement happening in you will absorb intense spiritual energy. All meditation techniques are nothing but method to make you physical. Come back to the body!
If you are back to the body, you will radiate Jeevan Mukthi. Please understand if you study Vedanta in a superficial way, many people who study in a superficial way start talking or at least start thinking that they are not bodies.
No! It’s wrong. I can say this is one of the worst thing happened to Bharat and the Vedic civilization is Naham Deham! Means I am not the body! This is one of the worst thing happened to the Vedic tradition. That is not the truth. I am body also is the truth. Please understand. I am not just the body. Same way, you can’t say I am not the body. You are body and something more. So this subtle truth got lost with this huge statement of Naham Deham – I am not the body.
The big problem is when you get caught with this kind of ideas naturally you start excluding the body. Please understand. Anything, which encourages you to be centered on the ideas and intellect and brain, will become popular because it makes you forget your presence. That is why entertainments. See why do you spend so much time with all these entertainment things? Because you body is forgotten. You don’t need to remember your roots. You don’t need to be aware. You don’t need to be sensitive to the whole.
Almost all our Vedantic teachings has taken the turn of entertainment. They have become more or less like an entertainment. The moment you have one wrong understanding – you are not the body! The whole thing is useless. I don’t want to say you are just the body. But I don’t want to say you are not the body. You are body also. So start from the body. Yoga and Tantra - when these two components are removed from Vedanta, it becomes more or less useless. Not only useless, dangerous! So I wanted the yoga and Tantra components of Vedanta to come back to life.
So start from the body. Be physical! I can give you one simple technique, method to be physical. Breathe, inhale and exhale through these 21 points. Understand! Ten in the hand, ten in the feet and the head – Sahasrara. Just always remember you are inhaling and exhaling through these 21 points. You will be completely centered on the body. You will be physical. Only one or two days you will feel little awkward. Because you are trained to believe you are breathing only through nose. I am not saying you will inhale air through these 21 points – No! But if you visualize, you will start inhaling prana. Please understand - prana is not air.
Prana is not air. You will start inhaling prana. If you come to Kumbha Mela you can see. I have seen in every Kumbha Mela. Atleast 100-200 sadhus they will bury their head for 21 days. And they will breathe through their hands and feet. I have seen, there is no gimmicks, nothing! Don’t think there is a tube below their head, underground – nothing! I have seen! Full 21 days they will bury their head. They have mastered that art of prana. I am not asking you to bury your head – no! That’s not needed.
Atleast for enlightenment it is not needed. But if you start inhaling and exhaling through these 21 points, you will be completely settled into the body. You will become physical. So you will be ready for the process. You will be ready for the process. Please understand, George Gurdjieff says, “You don’t have soul, you need to create it!” I really agree with it. Please understand. It is completely against Vedanta. Vedanta says, you are already enlightened just remember! George Gurdjieff says you don’t have soul, you need to create it. I agree with George Gurdjieff more than I agree with Vedanta. When you have the idea, you already are enlightened, you need to remember, you start working more with mind. Working with mind is straight way to failure. Do not have any pressure. One more thing - you don’t need to remember anything! Whatever I am uttering, you don’t need to remember. Just be liberated from the pressure to remember any of these things. Just be liberated. If you need to remember, it will be recorded inside you. If it is not recorded, forget it as early as possible. So from this moment I liberate all of you from any pressure of remembering any ideas or the words I am uttering.
Nothing! You don’t need to remember anything! If it is required it, you will just see, it will stay in you. See I will be throwing hundreds of truths. Definitions of Living Enlightenment. Wherever you have problem, that truth will hit you there. And the truth, which you need, will get recorded inside. Other things will not even go inside you. No need! You don’t need to remember all the things, which I am uttering. Please understand! You don’t need to remember. I need to remember because I need to work with all different people. You don’t need to remember.
So whatever hits you, if you remember that, that’s enough! Whatever hits you, you won’t even be able to forget. That’s the truth. So just be liberated from any pressure to remember or recall or memorize – nothing! Understand in Vedanta we have three steps; Shravana means listening. Manana means internalizing. Nidhidhyasana means living, radiating. So I remove one step – Manana from your practise. No need! When you hear the truth from a living master. Straight listening is expressing. Shravana is Nidhidhyasana. No need for manana.
If you need to do manana then I have not done manana. If I have done manana, if I have done internalizing, then I know all the problems. If I have done internalizing, if I have done expressing, you don’t need to do internalizing. Understand, internalizing means what? Trying to work, trying to work with the truth and customizing the truth for your lifestyle is internalizing. So I have done that job, customizing the truth for your life, you don’t need to do it. Just relax! I am liberating you from manana. Just listening is enough. You will radiate.
You will radiate, so do not have the pressure that I need to remember. To tell yourself or to tell others. For both reasons, you don’t need to remember whatever I am uttering. If..if it is needed, it will get recorded inside automatically. You don’t need to think or plan or take notes and later on scratch your head – oh! What did I mean when I took these notes. So don’t worry!
We are inhaling and exhaling through the whole body. Through these 21 points – ten in the feet, ten in the hand, the Sahasrara. Feel you are inhaling. Just you can even remember you are inhaling and exhaling through these 21 points. First one or two days you may feel little awkward. That’s okay. You will settle down. You will be completely grounded. You will become physical. The process can start very beautifully. Very beautifully and I can say just this one one truth. Be physical! Will take care of everything. The right attitude, which is needed to feel, connected, to do the process. Everything will be taken care. Just with this one truth. Be physical!
Be physical! Usually the masters expect surrender or devotion. All these things! To start working with the disciple. I feel it is not required. It is not required. Just this being physical takes care of how much is needed, that much happens. How much of feeling connection is needed for you to go through the process. For you to experience the enlightenment. That happens automatically if you are just physical here. One more thing – when you start breathing like that, automatically you will be brought to this space.
This very presence. This very energy space. Energy field. This very, maybe I can use the word - Here Now! But even that word is loaded now with too much of meanings. See any word loaded with meaning, takes you away from body. So I am not going to give you much of technical knowledge in this 21 days. It will be more program based on technique and process. Please understand. The whole thing, which we are going to do in these 21 days, can be classified as 3 parts. One – technical knowledge means introduction to the concept or to the truth. Ideologically clearing the doubts and inspiring you. That’s the technical knowledge.
Second thing – technique. Exactly the process, which you are required to do. Your part. How you need to move your body. How you need to move your mind. How you need to move your being to cooperate. That’s the technique. The third is the energy process. It’s my part, my side. It’s my job means awakening you, awakening the dimensions of you, which is unknown to you. There are many dimensions inside you even, which you are not aware. That happens by an enlightened master’s presence. Just be physical.
We will start the process. This three thing only we will be doing. Technical knowledge, technique and initiation. The process. Initiation is what I call supporting your body and mind to retain the psychological revolution which happens in you through the technical knowledge and technique is initiation. Please understand. Technical knowledge will help your conscious mind to be clean, to be pure. Technique will help your unconscious mind To be pure. So both causes psychological revolution in you. So initiation makes your body to be fit to retain the psychological revolution permanently in you.
Bolting the Samadhi state in your body is initiation. It’s like a whenever you go through a psychological revolution, your brain if it is not ready to hold that experience. If your brain grooves are not sensitive enough, if you have not developed the new sensitive brain grooves to hold that psychological revolution you will come back, fall back into the normal state, it will disappear. Psychological revolution without body being ready is called satori – first experience of Samadhi. Psychological revolution when it happens along with the body when the body is also ready its called Samadhi. So here, through technique and technical knowledge I am giving you the psychological revolution, the satori. By giving initiation, preparing your body, I am bolting that satori state in your body.
Means helping you to stay in Samadhi. So this whole program. This 21-day program I am aiming at creating Sampragnyata Samadhi. See there are 4 levels of Samadhi; Sampragnyata Samadhi, Asampragnyata, savigalpa, nirvigalpa. So the first level Samadhi I am aiming at reproducing. I am trying to reproduce. No! Let me be direct. I will reproduce the Sampragnyata Samadhi in all of you. Please understand. I guarantee the Sampragnyata Samadhi, the reproduction of Sampragnyata Samadhi in you. Of course you have options for the other things also. A little more intensity. Means being physical.
See I have a methodology. Any kind of human being can be put into the Sampragnyata Samadhi. And with your part, little more cooperation if it can happen. Simply you will step into the next level Samadhis. Next level Samadhis. The methodology is powerful enough to put anybody in Sampragnyata Samadhi. Anybody who cooperates or a little more involved or more intense. Be very clear! All other 4 level samadhis are open and available to you. The technology can put you in any level Samadhi. I can say that if you are already living in Sampragnyata, many of our devotees are already living in Sampragnyata. I can define Sampragnyata.
From morning to night whatever you are doing if I am there as undercurrent in your memory. I don’t want to say me, maybe for some people it will be me for some people it will be the unclutching. That idea. That attitude if it is there constantly as an undercurrent. Be very clear you are living in Sampragnyata. So if you are already living in Sampragnyata and here you can surely expect atleast savikalpa – one big jump. One big jump – savigalpa. Savigalpa means more than 80 percent of unclutching. Unclutched more than 80 percent. I can say Sampragnyata is more than at least 51 percent is Sampragnyata.
More than a percentage if I give you these kind of definitions, you will be able to understand. From morning to night, if I am there as an undercurrent in all your actions. You can be sure; you are already living in Sampragnyata. I guarantee you will experience the Sampragnyata and the Sampragnyata will be bolted into your body. Into your system. So these 21 days we will be working through technical knowledge, technique and the initiation. Means awakening the…. to retain the psychological revolution in your system permanently.
For example, one component of Jeevan Mukthi, I will give you the example. Living in a boundary less way. Just living. Feeling the whole cosmos as your boundary. This psychological experience can be created by technique and technical knowledge. In the brain, if this part is awakened (pointing to the back of the head), this is the part responsible for the experience. When the experience happens, this part only gets lit up. If that part is awakened through initiation, this experience stays with you permanently.
Some of you might have read. Some research was done on my brain when I was in Samadhi, some devotees of course some doctors who are our devotees also, they did research through PET scan and different methods. They were able to record the effects the different effects of the different components of Jeevan Mukthi in the brain. When a person is in Samadhi, I was describing to them some 5 or 6 components of that Samadhi. See the Samadhi itself can’t be described. Its components only can be described.
So I described its components. So they studied the brain and they say exactly the components, which I am describing – the corresponding brain parts, those experiences, which I am describing. Those brain parts are either intensely awakened or completely silent. They are not normal. They are not normal. Like any normal human being’s brain. So in the very brain if the awakening happens, means physically helping you to retain that Sampragnyata Samadhi. This happens through the initiation. Now we are already working. Maybe in another 2-3 years we will be able to come up with a clear research report.
I personally feel every time when some disciple goes through some initiation, for what purpose he goes through the initiation, which component of the enlightenment is getting reproduced. That part of the brain gets intensely active, alive and retains that experience. It can be physically measured; it is quantifiable, measurable experience in brain. Of course in psychological state you cannot measure, that we don’t have scale. But physically, in brain it can be measured. It’s my personal experience. Maybe in few years we can come up with research report, research papers to prove what I am talking.
Now we are able to prove this happening in my brain. But I feel whoever gets initiated in all those brains it’s happening. It’s happening. Of course experientially we have proved. Thousands of people have experienced. Maybe in a few years we will be do the paperwork and bring it to the world. Anyhow, understand this 3 things we are going to do; technical knowledge, technique, and initiation. For technical knowledge you don’t need to be physically here. So I am not asking you to be physical for technical knowledge. Only for technique and initiation you need to be physically here. You need to be physically here.
So, especially for initiation, for the process, I need you to be physical. Completely physical. Even if you feel your whole body heavy for one or two days, it’s okay. Perfect. Continuously breathe through all the 21 points. Continuously breathe through all the 21 points. Even if you feel your body little heavy, it’s perfect. It’s perfect. It will really awaken you. It will really help you to go through the process. So the essence is – be physical. I don’t want to give too many ideas. If I give too many ideas you may forget the main truth – the core. So I wanted to stop with this one idea in the introduction. Just be physical.
And one more thing, I have not introduced the program to you. Please understand. I only gave a few suggestions and tips to get the best out of this program. The program itself can’t be introduced. To tell you honestly the program can never be introduced because everyday is an introduction. If you talk to the people who have already done this program they will say everyday is an introduction. Just the basic few things is enough, whatever I spoke now are too broad you can’t understand. I know! Even this Sampragnyata Samadhi what will you understand? I know for sure. I just have to utter some word to make you feel you understand something so you are given an introduction. It is almost like a respect, courtesy. No I am telling you.
After giving introduction I am telling all this (laughs). But what to do? See I have to be a little courteous and people should feel, “oh! Swamiji gave a beautiful introduction.” When you go out. So just for that, a broad introduction. That’s all! Where you can’t have some model or frame with which you can go on measuring the program. So just enjoy the whole program. As it goes. As it goes. I can tell you one thing.
Understand. I understand my responsibility. Understanding my responsibility I am very clearly telling you. See I can say more than at least more than 2 crore people accepted me as Guru, teacher. Means who gives technique and technical knowledge for them. Around the world. And at least one lakh people worship me as a God in their puja rooms in their shrines, in their personal day-to-day life. Doing Guru puja and worshipping me. Maybe I can say for a few thousand people I am not only God or Guru. I am life for them. I am a prana, life force, life source for them. See with all this background I understand my responsibility because whatever I am uttering, whatever I am doing is going to directly affect this many millions of people.
So with this responsibility, knowing the huge responsibility I have on my shoulder I am telling you directly. I am telling you the straight truth. I promise this science works for everybody. So just internalize and enjoy. I am promising straight away, directly be physical here, you will experience Jeevan Mukthi. It is my responsibility. I am telling you directly. Please understand. I am not giving any false claim. Because I know my responsibility. Millions, for millions I am master. For few lakhs, for few hundred thousands I am God. For few thousands I am life force. Life source. I am life. With this responsibility I am telling you I know whatever I say gets recorded and people take it sincerely. I am also sensitive to the devotion shown towards me.
I am also sensitive and feeling responsible for the love and devotion and commitment I command with my disciples. So with that sensitivity. With that responsibility I am giving you the promise. The science, which I am expressing. The methodology, which I am expressing straight away, works. And it is successful. It is successful on every human being. Without any exemption. Please understand. I am not saying 99.999 percent it works. No! Then you many think I am that 0.001 percent. No! It works on all. When I say capital letter ALL. On all!
So just be physical and go through you will all experience Jeevan Mukthi. You will radiate enlightenment. Nothing else needs to be done. You don’t need to. Drop all other ideas. Limitations. Anything you have. Don’t bother. Some people have problem. Oh! I don’t pray to deities. I can’t connect with the deities. Don’t bother! See I am like a supermarket. I need to make all components of the Vedic tradition available here. So I need to make everything available here.
So if you are not feeling connected to any one item don’t bother! I am like a mall; I need to make everything available. So whoever feels connected with that. People …please understand there are millions who become enlightened just with stones and deities. So do not think someway they are lower. I am not saying they are higher or lower. That also has helped for millions.
There is so much of traffic jam in the throat. So many ideas wanted to come out. Everybody is fighting with one another – I am first! I am first! I am first! One thing I can tell you. Usually when I start any program, what happens inside me with that I can very clearly predict what is going to happen outside me – in all of you! I can very clearly predict, so with that clarity I can tell you. This is going to be the best Inner Awakening (Applause).
I can see very clearly. So much happening in me. So much happening in me. One fortunate thing is yesterday is that my Deepam festival. In my native place. Around 50 lakh people gather. 5 million people gather. To celebrate the Devi’s enlightenment. Devi became enlightened yesterday evening. That Krithika nakshathra, Karthika maasa, poornima thithi. The shukla paksha. That’s the time Devi became enlightened. So that’s the Devi’s enlightenment time. To celebrate Devi’s enlightenment the people gather and a huge festival goes on. So yesterday evening itself I was in different Samadhi. Usually it settles down by next day morning.
But today morning I saw it was not settling down. It was not settling down. Usually when I do my physical movements I’ll find out whether it’s settled down or not. Some of you maybe aware. Still I can’t do yoga! If I do yoga, body falls into Samadhi. If the charkas are aligned in a proper way suddenly like a spark of fire, energy jumps from chakra to chakra that kundalini…like a crackers. It bursts and body falls into Samadhi. So I never do yoga. That is why I was putting on weight continuously. For last 2 years. Now I have reduced it because. I don’t do yoga even now but I hold on to some steel frame and I move my body and do some workout. Holding on to something physically which is matter so I’ll constantly remind that boundary of the body.
I‘ll not fall into Samadhi. I’ll be balanced. So today morning I saw very clearly the intense energy and the expression of the Samadhi. I know this is going to be the best program. This is going to be the best Inner Awakening. I know for sure the energy is so strong. It’ll simply reproduce. At least Sampragnyata Samadhi in all of you. When I say be physical, maybe if you understand these few things, it will help you even to understand to be physical, to be physical. Because we have completely lost the idea of being physical.
See do not carry this identities, which you brought when you came inside. For example: if you were a doctor, just drop that identity. If you are lawyer, drop that identity. Any identity you brought – just drop! These 21 days, at least these 21 days this identity is not going to be useful for you. Pick it up when you go back. Just leave in the reception. Maybe you can leave it in your locker. That will make you completely physical. Understand! It is your identity, which constantly interferes and removes you from being physical. Being body!
Understand if you are a doctor you can’t enjoy the body. If you are a lawyer, not only you can’t enjoy you will not allow anybody else also to enjoy the life. Understand any identity, which comes, stops you, reduces the ability to live. Reduces the ability to relate. Reduces the ability to be. So decide this … and one more thing! Your conscious decision is powerful enough to solve all the problems you consciously created. Please understand. Your conscious decision is powerful enough to solve all the problems you consciously create.
Your identity problem is created consciously, knowingly, with your will. So now just your decision is enough. People always think, “no! No! No! swamiji, I created this identity without knowing. Now I don’t know just by my will how can I drop?” No! You can! Everything happened with your silent cooperation. So now. I am not saying identity itself is wrong. But I am saying identity is wrong. Sometime I need to be polite. Anyhow. I can say in a way. Not knowing how to relax from identity takes away many beautiful dimensions of your life from you. That’s all I am saying.
So this 21 days, just learn to be like a Naga. Decide you will all live like a Naga. This 21 days. Naga means identityless. No identity. Just live like a body. Be physical. When you go back pick up your identity. I tell you if you just learn the knack of being without identity you learnt the knack of creating your own vacation even while you are in your office. Your boss will be thinking you are working but you will be having vacation. See vacation is nothing but freedom from identity. Why do you go to a place, which you don’t know always for vacation? Why? Because the place where people know you and you know them. Your identity is rooted. Your identity is strong.
So you do not want…you feel suffocated. Everywhere people know you. Everywhere people are behind you. Everywhere people are. Oh! Whatever you do you do gets noticed. So you are suffocated by the identity. That is why you always wanted to go away somewhere where nobody knows you. Where you’ll not be recognized. Where nobody knows your identity. Understand. In every one of us, inside deep down the deep yearning to go away somewhere where nobody knows you is there. That is there in every one of us. Deep down.
That is why whenever you see a beautiful picture of ocean or a beach resort or a rolling hills. Or a beautiful mountain. You always feel if I go there I will be in ecstasy. But when you go there you are not in ecstasy. Because you have taken the people who are columns of your identity. Who are foundations of your identity. Please understand. If you are taking the people who are foundations of your identity. Means your first circle. Your warm circle. Then naturally you are carrying your identity also. So even if you go to the beautiful hills or go to that beautiful beach resort. Anywhere you go. You are there. Watched.
People are watching you. People are expecting you to behave in a certain way. In certain frame. In certain level. In a certain way. So you are again you will be suffocated with the same identity. Please understand that is why all our vacations are a failure. Actually people come back more tired. More disturbed. More depressed from vacations. Than they went to the vacations. Because they do not know the science of vacation. Vacation means the feeling or the thirst, the yearning which you inside, deep down to be away from the identity which you show to the world.
This 21 days decide! Do not fit yourself into any identity. And do not remember your identity. Live like a Naga! Live like a Naga. Means just live as a body. Remember you as a body. Physical. I tell you if you remember you as a body, you will lose weight. Really! It is a technique for weight loss. I can show you before, after pictures. Because I have given this technique to many people. Many people I have given this technique. All I tell them is just be physical! Feel the heaviness of your body. Be physical.
Naturally you will eat whatever your body wants. You will sleep how much your body wants. All your movements will be in tune with your body. Simply you will lose weight. Even in health, the plane of health it really helps. So just be physical. Drop all the identity. Drop the name or the ideas, which you carry about you. Drop the identity. Just be physical. Try to reduce the number of times you remember your identity. If you can reduce. The process can happen so strongly. One more thing. When you go back when you pick up your identity, you will fulfill the drama, the identity so perfectly.
You will be so productive because now you know the science of unclutching. Science of disconnecting. From anything you can disconnect, you will start loving it. Anything from which you can’t disconnect you will deep down intensely hate. That is why the people with whom you are forced to live you will carry so much violence about them. Vengeance. Because you can’t unclutch. So do not make your identity as your spouse. Do not make your identity as a forced partner of your life. Let it be the choice. So this 21 days consciously decide I am not going to remember the identity, which I was carrying.
See identity does not mean only ego. Sometime even that inferiority complex. Even that is identity. Ahankar, Mamakar – both. Superiority complex or inferiority complex – both. This 21 days decide consciously “I will not remember. I’ll not remember.” Try to as less as possible. As less as possible. You’ll become physical. You’ll really be physical. That is the meaning of the Nagas. See Nagas apply the ash all over the body. Why you know? Once you apply the ash all over the body nobody will recognize you. Identity is lost. That is the reason. They apply the ash and live like a body. Live as a body. So this 21 days live as a body.
Always remember, inside the cloth who you are, is you! Not what you are showing along with the cloth. Once you connect. Once you feel you and your cloth is identity. Just remember, you are Naga. You are not wearing any cloth. Cloth is put on you. Just like how the cloth is put on this building. Put on this hall – Raja Sabha. Same way clothes are put on you. So live inside as Naga. Without any identity. Just without any identity. Try to create new friends. New pillars of your identity. New foundation. Stop, have less minimum relationship with this old identity people. Who already know you.
With whom you already have established identity. Try to move away from them. Try to be as much as possible away from them so that you will not remember that old identity. You are not suffocated. You are not expected to act as you established yourself earlier.
Enter into the whole program with a deep sincerity and seeking. Ramakrishna says very beautifully, “Intense seeking is living enlightenment.” Understand. Intense seeking is living enlightenment. Nothing else. In intense seeking, the seeker itself is burnt. Seeker is burnt in the seeking. The conscious decision to be physical itself will awaken that intense seeking.
See if you are physical, your base, naturally you will work how you can expand. Explode. If you are in mind, you will be given an idea you are already expanding. If you are in mind – it like a goat that’s hypnotized and told that it is a lion. If you are in the body you are a lion hypnotized and told that you are goat. So be in the body. You will see the intense seeking will be awakened. The seeking you don’t even need to create it’ll just be awakened.
Seeking is the nature of human consciousness. Till it becomes enlightened. Understand. By your very nature, your very being, you are built for enlightenment. Till then seeking is inevitable. Please understand. You may be postponing or diverting your seeking in different directions saying, “ No, no no, I think I feel inside lonely because of this reason, that reason…no!.” You are feeling inside lonely because you are alone. Be very clear. Human being is ALONE! Do not divert your attention. Do not bring some pseudo reason. Do not justify your depression.
Do not justify your lonely feeling. Just be very clear. This is truth. If you see directly the truth. Simply you will start working towards seeking, the seeking will be awakened. Seeking will be awakened, you will start working, you will start…automatically awakened seeking will lead you to inner awakening. Will lead you to the inner awakening. Will lead you to enlightenment. So the whole thing starts from the root – be physical! Be physical!
So now consciously decide to be physical. And create intense; you don’t even have to create actually. Just be physical. You’ll feel the intense seeking.
