“Subject is Re-wiring your brain!”

Subject is Re-wiring your brain! Some of the shastra pramanas. Some truths from the field of neuro physiology. It is from a website yogajournal.com. Neuro Physiologists say -

Samskaras or engrams create mental grooves in the brain like rivulets in sand that let water run in certain patterns. Thye say each time we react in a certain way, for example getting angry, we strengthen the power of the pathway. It is a very important truth. The more & more you react in the same way the more & more you strengthen that engram. If you are habituated to fall sick due to any stress & fear you encourage that engram of falling sick of stress & fear. I tell you if you really feel stressed or fear or anxiety, do something very actively either heavy body building or any other catharsis. You will create a new engram.

So instead of staying weak, it can become a useful energy in your life. Rajas can be directly useful to you. If you have anger on somebody, just take it out in the gym on the weighing machine. Or do any intense catharisis process or pranayams like Bhastrika, kapaal bharathi, talking in tongues – in Christian tradition they call Glossolalia which we call Manipuraka shuddhi kriya in hindu tradition or loud Upanishad chanting. Take out your strength in these ways. Then you will create a new rivulet in you.

When you have anger, fear, s tress you are a victim. When you carry it inside you, you are punished for being a victim. Don’t be punished for being a victim. If you are a victim, release it intensely. Don’t keep it inside. have these cathartic kriyas – manipuraka shuddhi kriya or intense samaana balancing techniques like 108 surya namaskars or intense weight lifting, working out. Only first few days you need to create this new rivulet . Then every time this will become strengthened. So each time the river runs into the new rivulet, the rivulet becomes stronger. Same way, in your brain also you have so many rivers – Ganga, Saraswathi, Kaveri. Some are wild forest rivers – wild & uncontrollable. For them you need to make a dam and create a diversion. This is what I call Saadhana – making a dam and diverting the wild forest rivers running inside you.

But unfortunately, we have one of the biggest engram in us which is Laziness. Biggest enemy for awakening the non-mechanical parts of your system or sadhana or enlightenment is laziness. Once laziness enters into your system, nothing can be done! You will just find excuses to postpone the work. I tell you even incarnation body sometime gets laziness! For the past 5 days I am bunking my Yoga Sutras. After Dussera I am postponing my Yoga Sutras. Even an incarnation body can be covered by laziness. Then what will happen to normal human beings? Oh god! That is what I realize is maya. Laziness is maya!

I am telling you even if my body can be covered by the sheath of laziness then what will happen to you guys? So understand no sympathy to laziness. It is a demon. It is equal to corrupt politicians, police officials, mafia media, rowdies and thugs \+ something more! If all of them put together in one form what danger they can cause that is what is your laziness. So do not tolerate laziness.

The first lesson in Zen they teach the awakening of your whole body parts. Zen means Dhyaan. Ze Zen means sitting. You can very easily slip into laziness and sleep in the name of silent sitting & Samadhi. No. Zen first breaks the lazy mental set up to work on these engrams & create the new awakened life style. Zen monasteries they have a tradition even the master who head the monastery will not have food if he does not work for 8 hours physically. They have the tradition – 8 hours physically and 8 hours of mental work. When you do this, naturally the other 8 hours you will rest in consciousness. There will not be any in-exhaustible engrams. So the sleep will be deep sleep. Only when you don’t work 8 hours physically, mentally you will have a disturbed sleep.

I tell you laziness is one of the worst engrams. It is not even an engram, it is almost like breathing. That is why I decided - anybody who leaves the ashram due to the laziness engram, I will not accept them anymore. If they have lust and leave, they can get married, learn lessons in a few years and come back. If they have anger, they can leave, go to society learn and come. If they have greed also, they can leave go live in society learn lessons and come back. But if they have laziness engram, nothing can be done. No entry for them. Because the laziness is the non-return zone of spirituality. Enlightenment, videha Samadhi, laziness – these are all non-returnable.

This laziness. God! The first thing we need to break is laziness. Especially the early morning Brahma Muhurtha. I tell you even my body has become so healthy after I broke the laziness of the brahma muhurtha. After I started waking up before sun rise my body has become totally different. So wake up before sunrise, work out in the Nirvani akhada or 108 surya namaskars, take cold water bath and come for Guru puja. You will just break all your samskaras. Once you break one or two samskaras you will simply know how to break them. The science of breaking your mind and body you will know. You will create new rivulets.

Another truth from yogaflavoredlife.com. It says – Your brain has the ability to create new grooves and pathways and the existing ones will heal up and disappear if left on their own.

You brain can create new grooves and pathways. Means the possibility for new life exists. Possibility for becoming new man exists. Possibility for becoming new consciousness exists. That is what we call initiation. And the existing ones will heal up and disappear on their own. Nothing else is required. You don’t need to do anything else to fill the existing river. Just make a dam and divert the river.

Scientist Debbie whitemore says – the science of neuroplasticity focuses on how the brain can rewire itself to forge new connections and break cycles of negative thinking and acting.

Patanjali very beautifully says if you are suffering from a particular engram, just create the anti-emotion. And feel that it is spreading all over your body. Release it to the cosmos through your every pore. Like if you are suffering from violence, create compassion. Then you will see a new pattern set in you.

Again one more report from www.yogaflavoured.com, study done on Yoga says - the regular practice done on yoga is the perfect formula for creating new deep behavioural grooves in the brain that take advantage of neuroplasticity.

Just as I was telling now, working on the body, straight away working on the body. Uncompromising way breaking the laziness system. I tell you this paada yaatra that I took in my young age, it has done so much in my system. Because once you start walking in the morning, till evening you cannot stop till you find the next village. Otherwise no food, no stay. Same way the morning saadhana should be a paada yaatra for you.

Now, I made this morning paada puja \+ message as a routine. Neither I can miss nor you can miss. Both of us are caught. Same way I will make the morning routine also. Morning 5 am I will be there and so you also have to be there. I think this is what our Upanishad says – Sahana Bhavatu, Sahanao Bhunaktu Sahaveeryam Karvaa vahai - Let both of us grow together. Zen insists even the master has to work out. I was thinking why. But this laziness engram, that maya can catch anybody in the body. It is like one leg of the body is in the mud. So for that leg, you have to work. Even an incarnation body which has been broken into pieces by so much sadhana, with all 12 strands of DNA awakened, even for that body laziness can catch up. Then I thought oh God! Even if an incarnation body can be smeared by little bit of laziness. So from today, we will have Yoga Sutras everyday in Manas Sarovar.

So before sun rise to complete sun set means 5 to 9 and 6 to 7.30 both sandhyas I will be with you guys. So that we constantly work on creating new man. Understand you are not reality, you are potentiality. We need to work, work, work. Constantly everyday adding yogic body and vedic mind untiringly. One day missed is lost!

One of the biggest crime in spiritual practice or in the field of awakening is this laziness. This comes & catches us in such a way that you don’t even know you are caught. I tell you Guru Droha and laziness is equal. Both should be punished equally. Laziness is nothing less than guru droha. Because you will not even know that you are not doing anything. Just hanging around. Especially in such a big campus, you can hang around anywhere and keep watching everything. If you are meditating consciously you are growing that is perfect. But we don’t do that. It is like easy drifting and non-doing. Just there, what for? Ah just there. Laziness is one of the worst crimes.

Here I have another one beautiful research. It is actually experience. As I said yesterday, we will be working next few days on this past life memory. Breaking the laziness is one of the important step you need to do to go against the flow and open your past life memories, release and heal it. Laziness can be classified in different ways – laziness out of escaping mentality, laziness out of fear, laziness just for laziness. The first two can be healed by greed and making you fearlessness. But the 3rd is the most dangerous laziness. Most of us suffer with that only. If I tell you from tomorrow we will wear Yoga vastra, for the next 10 days you will not bother till you get the next reminder. It is not like there is fear or greed in this. So laziness just for laziness! That is the most cunning crime. Laziness for laziness. Very very dangerous. Do not allow that laziness for laziness. Break the body & mind with intensity. You will see the real re-wiring of your brain happens.

The only enemy, only reason why we don’t re-wire our brain is laziness. Just laziness. I have some more researches & truths which I will share tomorrow. Of course not because of laziness but they are more relevant to tomorrow’s subject!

Today, first thing to cleanse the first layer of your past - from the moment you were born in this life time till this moment .2nd layer is the moment you assumed your first birth till this birth – all your past lives. And 3rd layer is all the collective past from when the creation began – all past happenings.

1st layer – your Date of birth to this moment in this life. This one week I want to work on this past. Today my message is break your laziness to re-wire your brain is the technique to cleanse the engrams of your 1st layer past.

I can give 3 names. The 1st layer past from your date of birth to this moment can be called as past living. The 2nd layer is all births from your past lives. The 3rd layer is the collective past happenings – the moment big bang happened to this moment is past happenings.

We will work on past, past lives and past happenings. By Janauary I will give an experiential workshop on past life regression so that millions of people can be helped.

This truth of past live is one of the unique contribution of vedic tradition. Let you all break the laziness, pattern of laziness and experience the re-wiring of brain, achieve and radiate enlightenment. Blessings!
