“Breeze is the song of the air, wave is the song of the ocean, flower is…”

Breeze is the song of the air, wave is the song of the ocean, flower is the song of the plant, fruit is the song of the tree, creativity is the song of the man, Bhakthi is the song of God himself! The best things each one can present to the cosmos – the air can present breeze, plant can present flower to the world, tree can present fruit to the world, best thing the ocean can present to us is waves, best thing human beings can give to cosmos is creativity and best thing that God can give to world is Bhakthi.

Understand and I want to make very clearly understand best thing that God can give to world is not enlightenment, it is Bhakthi. Because with enlightenment idea there is something ending, but with bhakthi there is something continuously flowing. Bhakthi is beyond enlightenment. With bhakthi anything you have or not does not matter. Without bhakthi anything you have or not does not matter. Both ways anything you have or not does not matter. I wanted to define make you understand exactly what I mean by the word bhakthi. Yesterday I was watching a beautiful video on Youtube. I really enjoyed it. It is about how all you think as reality is illusion. Very clearly scientifically they are proving what Ashtavakra was talking. He is a great vedanti, shuddhaadvaiti much more pure than krishna and Shankara. Krishna had a line of politician in him as he was a king. Shankara had a line of brahminism in him as he was born & bought up as a Brahmin. Still I have a line of Arunachala in me. Still I can very easily be cheated. If people call me Oh Arunachala I will be impressed. If they praise with anything else, I scan them, look into them to see if they are genuine. But if they praise me with Arunachala, the scanning tendency is not there. I will say - Oh good devotee!

But Ashtavakra was a great master - no streaks, no lines he just had a straight practical extraordinary way of expression. He says whatever you experience as reality is illusion – he goes on describing from his experience. Now these scientists have proved it very clearly how whatever you call as reality you experience only in the parietal lobe of the brain.

Very beautifully scientifically they show with lot of research and clear definitions. If your brain is removed and kept alive – it can be kept alive even if removed from the body. Just like how your body is alive even when you do not have a brain in it ☺. Same way, your brain can be kept alive even when it is removed from the body and it can feed on all information you are getting now through the computer. For example, the information you are seeing now is you are sitting in Swamiji’s satsang, you have just finished your guru puja and are now sitting listening to his voice. If this fed through a computer to your brain, your brain will be experiencing this that’s all. It will go thru the same exp. Nothing more than a feeder and a computer is required. That’s all. If this sound and this scene is fed through computer it will go through same experience. For example, if you cannot create the smell, the brain itself will create it. For example, if 10 types of information is recorded here like the beautiful incense smell, my voice, the noise of the fan and the scene, etc. So even if one is missing and the other 9 information is fed into your brain through the computer, you will be surprised your brain will be going through this same experience. Then how do you call this something real and there is something called illusion. NO. They go on producing so many other researches – research done on dream state, research done on waking state, research done on deep sleep state. Very clearly scientifically they are proving how whatever you experienced including the idea of your body, you experienced it only in the parietal lobe!

Understanding that whatever you call as reality is experienced in parietal lobe and is just an illusion and ability to feel something beyond this illusion and ability to merge with it, relax into something beyond this illusion is bhakthi. I am defining bhakthi. Understand bhakthi is not trying to wear white saree to impress me. NO. some people try that. That is not going to impress me. It is going to be a very bad failure. Bhakthi is where you see whatever is seen and experienced including your body as illusion and ability to see beyond this illusion, resting into something which is beyond this illusion. This is bhakthi. Means, how many times you remember and you know that you are going to die whatever you are creating is going to be left behind, how many times you know it, but there is something inside you that gives you a strong courage, gut feeling – I am going to exist, I am going to be there, I am, I am eternal. There is something in all of us which is responsible to making us forget about our death. About our impermanence. About our non-existence. That streak, that line, that part which is in you – that part which reflects in you becomes alive becomes more in you when you start understanding this whatever you call as reality is illusion. Please understand, if you think this is reality that part which gives you courage that you are reality looks like illusion, if you empower that more this will look like illusion. In the books describing meditation techniques, especially techniques for advaitic vedantic experiences, they are like – feel that from the behind of what you are seeing, there is a huge screen. Whatever you are seeing the whole thing is a moving movie. Just visualize you are sitting in an Imax theatre. From the back of you there is a huge screen. And whatever you are seeing, experiencing, is running from that screen. In vedantic tradition, they say 3 days if you do this technique your liver will be completely healed. Your liver contains all your duplicate pseudo intellectual engrams in it. I used to wonder why such a description for this. The funny thing is this example is described in the vedic tradition when there was no movie and screen. Of course they had another one thing where they will project with hands different shapes and project on the cloth screen. It was an art and they had this as a night life. Vedic tradition was a tradition which had a very rich night life.

I am studying some of the reasearch on how missing Vedic Tradition night life was responsible for the destruction of our whole civilization. If you want to penetrate into any civilization first penetrate into their night life. That is the easiest and most vulnerable way. Human beings are vulnerable in the night. What they feel as fun, corrupt and destroy that. What we felt as fun, what we used to do as fun was the first goal in the intellectual war, civilization war done on Vedic Tradition. That is the most vulnerable part. Take away Bharatanatyam, music, joy, traditional drinks and infuse your civilization drinks, dance, dressing, their civilization ideas about enjoyment, their idea about sex – when all this is infused people think Vedic Tradition is juiceless. Anything juiceless is useless. I can say this is one of the biggest attack happened on Vedic Tradition. If you look back, we had a very rich and juicy night life. Even the night life was centered on enlightenment. The thread of enlightenment. It was always early morning was entrainment, whole day was enlightenment and night was entertainment. The whole civilization was based on this. But everything was N ☺ the N was the eternal component, need, necessity. Unfortunately the Vedic night life got lost.

Communication happens only with night life. Dialogue happens only in the night life. Whatever you do in the day time is monologue and business. There will never be dial and community will never be built when there is no night life. See society wherever groups exist there is night life. Vedic Tradition had a very rich night life. This visualization has come from the Vedic night life. The visualization of huge screen from your back and the whole thing is just projected in that. If you practice this technique it will straight away lead to the vedantic experience because it is a fact. Understand, beyond this screen, beyond this illusions, there is something you may not be able to grasp by the mind which you are having now which is more gross. There is something which you cannot understand with this mind. All you guys are carrying a middle class mind. Just like how you cannot grasp high sacred sentiments you can’t grasp low level bad sentiments also.

I was studying an article and research done on a few attendants who work with dead bodies, they drink so much that they have no discrimination in what they do after they drink. They have sex with dead bodies! You can’t grasp this. But your mind is such a middle class mind that you cannot get the lowest sentiment and the highest sentiment. There are some things which you cannot grab. Just like how you cannot grab maanikyavaasagar, meera, aandal, how you are unable to meet meera, aandal, same way, you can’t grab this idea of the attendants having sex with dead bodies – this is too low for you. You need to understand just because you can’t grab or grasp it, that does not mean there are no attendants in the world who are not having sex with dead bodies. Just because you cannot grasp this, it does not mean these things do not exist.

Same way there are Sacred Sentiments we are not able to grab but it is. Same way, there is this illusion beyond reality we are not able to grab, grasp now but it is – it exists. The person who is able to feel it is and able to rest in that truth, the ability to rest in that truth is bhakthi. The trust that it exists is Vitarka. Bhakthi is song of the God. If you have it, und the greatest thing that God can contribute to the cosmos you have that. That is ultimate. Don’t bother towards whom you have. Even if you have to a small stone also ok. If it is to a man, woman, stone, God or Guru, or just symbol of Guru anything is okay. I saw one of the religious leader very sincere person he used to carry a small murthi of his Guru or whom he feels as God. He will always travel with that and worship. Once in travel, that box fell. I could see he was falling all over and apologizing. It is not just seeing, he was feeling. He is a highly intellectual. I can say the forbes magazine has said he is one of the 100 most influential persons in the world – I am talking of Pramukh Swami Maharaj head of the Swami Narayan Institution. I could see his whole being radiating the bhakthi the deity is God. I thought oh god! What a scene to be seen. Such an extraordinary sacred sentiment to have in a human body. For you it is like only when you do guru puja you pray to paaduka as god and forget it after that.

So understand, with anything if you feel beyond this screen there is a reality and ability to relax into it, you have bhakthi. And the ultimate song God can sing, he is singing in your life! As I said breeze is the song of the air, flower is the song of the plant, fruit is the song of the tree, wave is the song of the ocean, light is the song of the sun, life is the song of the consciousness, creativity is song of the man, false charges are song of the police because that is the best they can do ☺ and bhakthi is the song of the God! Bhakthi IS song of the God!

Let you all live that song, not just listening, live that song. Let you all live and radiate enlightenment. Let you all achieve, exp, live, express and radiate the eternal bliss Nithyananda! Thank you!
