“In our tradition Diwali should be celebrated Amavaasya Diwali because…”
In our tradition Diwali should be celebrated Amavaasya Diwali because it was on this evening that I settled in the body. It happened in the year 2000. So we are one decade year old mission. It was in the year 2000 Diwali that I settled in my body and had the first words in Tamil – Be blissful come from within me.
Understand the word Deepavali. Deepavali means set of lamps or the serial of lamps. The mystical way if I have to explain, the word Deepa means ability to see beyond. It is not just light. When you light a deepa in your heart, the ability to see beyond starts happening. All our suffering is because we stop with just seeing what we see. We don’t see beyond what is seen. Whatever you see is seeing, if you can see beyond what is seen, that is when you are enlightened, the jnana deepa awakens in you. Then you can celebrate deepavali. The real deepavali is the ability to see beyond what you see.
For example, in this throne the pure nirguna, nirvikalpa, nirakara nirvana sareera is only is sitting. The pure nirvana, pure conscious nirvikalpa is here. If you are seeing anything other than that and are seeing me differently means you are seeing that as a reflection in me. For example, if you have greed, you will see the greed as your reflection in me. Same way fear. If you have fear, you will see me with the fear. Sometime I wonder how people obviously miss and pick up exactly the reason for my action or word from their samskaras. This is one of the worst sickness. How much ever you tell, they struggle with that samskara, engram. They not only hurt themselves trying to hurt me also. But fortunately I am empty, hollow. So your knife cannot poke me!
I can see very clearly if their 80% is caught in the 2nd layer & 3rd layer samskaras, they project the same thing on me and see me as one who is in in the same 2nd and 3rd layers.
If you are seeing the reality you will have breathing space. If you are seeing the reality in its reality the seeing behind what is seen, you will not only have breathing space, you will have the space of dancing. Please understand, seeing something in your own mind means suffocation. Seeing the actuality means you will have a breathing space, not suffocation. But if you are able to see beyond what you call as actuality, reality, you will have dancing space not just breathing space extraordinary ecstasy! The ability to see beyond the seen, the ability to see the master as the nirguna, nirvikara, nirvikalpa, niranjana, niraamaya – the moment you are able to see him beyond the seen, you will be able to see yourself beyond the seen. Again & again I see people picking up exactly what they want and interpreting exactly as they want. They forget my ocean of compassion. And this ocean when it makes a small wave and touches their feet they abuse me for the small cold feeling they have! They think – oh it is so cold! He does not feel this cold, he is so arrogant.
And I don’t even know how to justify the cold. That is the nature of compassion. That is why I tell people only to be completely blissful, be around me. Otherwise be elsewhere. Because even if you have a small wound internally, you will go on abusing me within. And you think you can get out of it. Many time you don’t want to get out of it. The arrogance and anger. You need to get out of the whole mental set up. You need to break it and stand up, it can never happen by postponing. You just need to break it up. All our festivals are to remind you of that only – that you need to break up.
There is a beautiful tradition in Varanasi. If you go there, you should break up something and leave it there. Even village ladies who go there break their addictions and leave it there. I know my granny who would eat in a leaf and she left this there. Another person dropped tobacco and picked up cigarette ☺ of course, he again went and dropped that also.
So every festival, every celebration in our vedic tradition is a chance provided for us to drop something. Today is diwali pick up a mental set up to day of judging the master, break it, drop it. Decide, I will be intensely happy with him, around him. No fights. I end all fights with him today. Actually that will solve 99% of your problems. Suddenly the whole thing will appear as heaven. As on now the mind set up which tells you that you are not being treated equally is what gives you constant suffering. That is the worst fear.
These are major entities in your life – God, society, nature, master. Towards anyone you will feel a strong hatred – this one is not treating me equally. For example, a handicapped person feels that nature is not treating equally, poor people feel society is not treating equally. Even if you are given everything, you feel master is not treating you equally! Different people have different feeling. So with anybody – society, nature, god, guru pick anybody you have a feeling I am not treated properly, as supposed to be, some injustice is done to me, somewhere I had to be better handled – stop that mental set up today. Break it. It will make your life better, happier than the state you are in when you have that mental set up and go on fighting with it.
There is a tradition where when people go to Varanasi they will drop any one thing. In our Bharatn villages, people go there and drop something and come back. Yesterday in Varanasi Vishwanath temple, I am supposed to drop something – what to drop? I dropped everything. Finally I decided alright I have to drop something which I already dropped to keep the tradition on. I decided to drop any hurt caused by society, nature or anything directly or indirectly which I have not even realized. There are millions done by them which I don’t even know. Whether I know it or not, I dropped it. So I don’t feel there is any injustification, torture, humanity, society, ex-disciples or the world – so anything done by anyone be dropped. Of course there is no difference inside because there was anyway no affect of that in me. So even I dropped something. So you too just decide to drop it. The decision itself is powerful. You don’t know the power of the decision. There are some people just by the power of their decision, the Kundalini just awakens in them. For example on of my sanyasinis Achala asked me few days ago to come for that day’s pada puja which I was not planning to do that day. She requested I spend that time with Ashramites. I asked her one thing – I don’t even know why that thing came out of me – I asked her if she is willing to drop her depression forever if I agree to come. She did not think. She just said yes. I immediately saw that there was a strong shift in her.
A small decision but such a strong shift. Every day when I give her blessings I check – is she standing with the decision, is she still with it. Especially yesterday was Amaavaasya. I thought if she can stand till yesterday it is enough. I saw that she did. Over. She stood. And it was such a big head ache for me and for her earlier ☺ She just jumped! But the nice thing is she had a nervous system which can handle the kundalini shakti. Whenever I touch, your 5 unit kundalini becomes 100 unit. But you need to have a system which can hold that 100 unit that I give you.
After this sacred sentiment series, I will speak on the siddha tradition for maybe one month. I am just brushing on siddha. They describe morning 700 praanaayaamaas, noon 200 praanaayaamaas and evening again 200 praanaayaamaas – only then the body will be ready to hold the kundalini explosion by the deeksha. I think that is what I am saying morning 3 hours of heavy physical activity. The 108 Surya Namaskars, each 1 \= 12 pranaayaama, So 108 \= 1296 pranaayaamaas. Then you are done! a little sesame seeds \+ jaggery after Surya Namaskars. This releases all the engraved memory given to you by your ancestors. That is why for the shraadha sesame seed is given. Giving shraadha to your body is eating this. So after intense physical work out, have at least half hand full of sesame seed & jaggery. Make it a ball and eat. So that the ancestral engrams are released from the system. Sesame seed helps to hold kundalini especially parts related o ancestral engrams to release it.
So this 15 days, Deepavali to Deepam, Deepavali to Purnima – 15 days all you guys take up this as a project dropping all fights you have with – God, Guru, society, nature and there are some dippus who constantly fight with themselves. They have become so deeply dippu oriented, that they fight with themselves. In this 5 any fight you have decide to drop it and heal it. Skanda shashti brahmotsava is to stop the fight and then Karteeka brahmotsava is to evolve a sweet beautiful experience with the master. For most of you master is God, nature and humanity. So your fights will be mostly with me only. Drop the fight and see suddenly the whole thing becomes heaven. As I said, yesterday I dropped fight with you guys. No more fight. Today you decide to drop all fight with me. Just for 15 days. Just this conscious decision is enough and that becomes kundalini in you. Make the decision, my blessings - you will have a strong positive kundalini experience.
And do the physical working out so that the kundalini experience stays with you in your system. But your cunning mind goes on arguing – what problem he is telling is not for me he is diverting me. Then nothing can be done. Only the suffering will teach you the lesson. Or you need to take the long route of waiting, waiting & waiting, then coming. Even this everyday giving shraaddha 3 times all the engrams given to you from the ancestors genetically gets destroyed. Your suffering from the past engrams handed over by your ancestors and family just disappears when you go on doing shraadha. It is a very powerful technique. Those mantras that act, that emotion, that sentiment everything just releases all the engrams handed over to you by your ancestors.
Essence of my deepavali message is – light the deepa in your heart, see beyond the seen. .
Blessings!
