“Subject for satsang is ‘Alter your state of consciousness’.”

Subject for satsang is ‘Alter your state of consciousness’. As you may be all aware I am continuing on siddha tradition consciousness series; Alter you state of consciousness. Till yesterday I explained all the different four states of consciousness happening inside different four states of consciousness. Waking, dreaming, sleeping, awareness and consciousness; these are five state. In the first four there are internal four states happening. So we studied about all the internal changes in the first four states. Today I’ll express few words on altering the state of consciousness.

Why? Why do we need to alter? Why not just let go? Ultimately if you let go whatever is happening, you don’t need to alter; you will be in pure consciousness, the highest consciousness. Because constantly you alter the highest possibility and put yourself into the lower levels, ordinary consciousness, I need to help you to raise yourself back again and again to the highest state of consciousness. Alter the state of consciousness just to alter your physical, mental, social and spiritual understandings, right eternal understandings about the world, God, society, nature and yourself. Please understand the self, humanity, human society, world means the nature and God the ultimate. Right understanding about all this four Jeeva, Ishwara, Jagat and society; Jeeva means individual self, Ishwara means God, jagat means the world and human society. Right understanding about this four avoids, takes away all kinds of sufferings. You will know in which line you need to work.

Yesterday somebody came to me in the sarva darshan. He is saying that in my house some bhoota, ghost is there. It is dropping sand, small, small stones in the house. I just looked into him and I saw there is no negative energy and there is no negative energy in the house also. Then I asked him only two three questions. Is your house made out of the tiles, the village tiles, tiled roof and mud walls? He said yes. Do you have any stone quarry, blasting quarry around your area? He said yes. That is the ghost; go and stop that. Understand when there is a bomb blast happening a quarry blast happening continuously and the house is made out of sand and ordinary stone tiles, naturally small drops will fall. I said there is no ghost in your house.

See the right understanding, if he is thinking it is a ghost and constantly going around to all the people who work with ghosts and drive ghosts, all kinds of black magic practices, he will only be wasting money. Instead he can get two masons and plaster that wall; job is done. So the right understanding where the problem is, happens to you when you have right understanding about all the four. See; attend the problems related to spiritual things spiritually. Attend the problems related to social things socially. Attend the problems related to, things related to legal, legally. Attend the problems related to money economically. Don’t mix. One of our major problems is we go on mixing. Simple problems of the outer world, we mix it and start looking through the magnifying glass along with our spiritual problem and make the whole thing as a spiritual problem.

Actually it is nothing more than hiring two masons and plastering the wall. And that poor guy he went, I told him go and do that he was shocked. He said yes now I understand. I said collect all the stones and mud sand falls in your house and see it is the same quality of the roof and the wall. He said yes Swamiji now I remember. That’s all; the whole bhoota is reduced to just non plastering of the wall and the blast which is going on in the quarry. So it is simple problem.

Having right understanding about this four different components; understanding about the self, understanding about the world, understanding about the humanity, understanding about the God. I tell you many time your simple problem of having low mood for no reason; it is because of you don’t have right understanding about the self. But unfortunately you are not able to understand that problem is internal and you start connecting all kinds of reason from external world and confuse it, mess it, miss it and trapped into bigger and deeper problems. I am telling you, when you have a low mood for no reason understand it is the quality nature of me. I do not need to, will not, give any reason. I will not associate any reason with that low mood. All we need to do is go through that low mood with acceptance mood so that it becomes peace; silence in you.

Know how to play with different states of consciousness and awareness you experience. Know how to live with different modes and operations happening in you. Know the truth so that you handle it properly, rightly with right understanding. Altering the state of consciousness helps you to find right problem and right solution. Not finding the right problem is the major problem. If you have something, some attack done externally, don’t blame yourself internally. Oh I have this kind of a mental setup, body that is why this problem. No! The moment you start blaming your body and mind, you are already divided. When you have the external attacks, stand together. That is not the time to judge yourself. No guilt, no depression, no low mood. Finish that outside problem then sit and judge; analyze, to improve yourself so that you don’t get into the same problem again.

So standing together during the external crisis will happen to you only when you have the right internal understanding. When you have a disease if you start criticizing yourself, because of this mental set up only I am having this disease, no!! That is no going to work. Fight with the disease and see that you don’t create that once more. Alter the mental state just for that; but no time to judge, no time to suffer with guilt. So altering the states of consciousness will make you understand right problem and will give you clarity about right solution. That is the main purpose of altering the state of consciousness so that you understand the spiritual problem spiritually, social problem socially, economical problems economically and physical problems physically.

Today carry only this one understanding; altering the state of consciousness helps you to find the right problem and right solution, so you are inspired to alter the state of consciousness. It can be done simply just by an understanding. When you have a different mood, bring right understandings; mani. Please understand there are three ways to alter the state of consciousness; mani mantra aushada. Mani means right understanding, mantra means right technique, aushada means right medicine, right herbs. Herb you may not get always 24 hours. Technique also you may not have time or atmosphere to do all the time 24 hours. But mani, right understanding if you store it inside, always you can just take it out and use it.

Understand the right understanding, mani, is the first step to alter the state of consciousness. Have right understandings about these states of consciousness and bring it up whenever you need and raise the state of consciousness. Today carry only this one understanding; contemplate on it. I will elaborate on different states in the coming sessions.

I bless you all. Let you all achieve, experience, live, express and radiate the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.

Thank you.
