1st chapter, 1st section 13th sutra

Vikaara sabdaad na iti chenna prachooryaat

Swami Gambhirananda: If it be argued that the blissful one is not going to use of the word suffix say no for the word is used in the sense of abundance (If you don’t understand, don’t worry, even I don’t understand ☺

Swami Veereshwarananda: if it is said that Brahman is not spoken of as an independent entity passage on account of the word tail denoting part we say not so on account of the…

Swami Shivananda: if it be objected that the term anandamaya consisting of bliss denotes the supreme self being a word or a modification or transformation we say ..… as suffix ‘maya.’

As I said, I am speaking on Brahma Sutras for various reasons. 1.To make this whole Brahma Sutras as a life science. 2. To make this whole Brahma Sutras as scientifically proven life system. I will do a thorough study – I will study all these techniques and methods and scientifically researchable parts, study and record them. Study and record the scientifically researchable parts. For example when you go thru certain understanding of certain sutra, certain parts of the non-mechanical parts of your brain will be awakened. This we can record and present it to the world in a very proper way. That is the reason I am presenting some 2,3 persons views because people can use their views in their research. Another one thing the latest incarnation has big benefit of upgrading what people have said earlier. Now I have a big benefit – I can upgrade and present it to you. So if you know how our predecessors have presented it, I can upgrade it. Please understand I wanted to tell you all, I offer my humble respects to all these great saadhus. I am not any way disrespecting them. I am only doing my work. I am expected to upgrade. Any incarnation in Hindu tradition is expected to take you deeper steps than the earlier masters, than the earlier interpretations. So I am doing my work with all my humble respect to earlier masters. It is like a research. Understand, for their period and time how people in front of them can understand, they can upgrade that much. And I am happy that for the 1st time young Guru is sharing and young disciples are listening to Brahma Sutras! It was always vruddha sishya Guru yuvaha or Guru vruddha sishya yuvaha – some time Guru is old, disciples young, some time Guru is young, disciples are old. First time we are making a unique combination where able, young, intelligent Guru and able, young, receptive disciples are sitting together. So naturally we can upgrade ourselves. We can go up - next level, next level, next level. I can say only when a right team sits, right things can happen. I can say for past 3 years I was trying to express Brahma Sutras. But I don’t know why now with a small group of disciples, the whole thing is just flowing! I think right people, right time, things are really ripe and right!

Again I will read the sutra –

Vikaara sabdaaneti chenna prachooryaat

One of the greatest power of the Brahma Sutras is it just fits into the context of the master! I wanted all of you to understand 2-3 very important truths. Whenever a master leaves a foot print it will be half- truth. Half-truth will always be much worse than a lie. Whenever a master don’t leave foot print like a birds don’t leave foot prints in the air, in the sky. Big problem - You cannot move on the path he travelled, there is no guidance from him, there is no tips from him, there is no way he can help you. See this fun - Buffaloes leave foot print but it only leads to more & more muddy areas because they go and land in mud only. Birds don’t leave foot prints even though they fly higher and higher. Then what to do? If you want to follow Buffalo you will land in mud, if you want to fly in air, there are no foot prints to follow. It is a big conflict. People who leave foot prints are always buffaloes. It is a basic rule because all foot prints gets muddy in course of time, it gets muddy. It will be used based on opportunities. An opportunist will text-torture all the spiritual texts – they will twist, turn, disturb, misinterpret, manipulate, misrepresent, morph all the sacred scriptures. What to do? It is impossible for a common man to follow the path of birds which don’t leave foot prints. And, it is useless to follow the foot prints of buffalo! So somewhere bird needed to leave footprint. Of course bird can’t leave foot print. It just left a smell streak. A strong smell in the air, the line through which it flew. I can say Brahma Sutra is a smell line left by Baadaraayana – Vyaasa! Words can’t describe. Here Baadaraayana brings a unique context. In some of the Upanishads the description about the source & the bliss is done by the abundance of words. Because of that - bliss & Brahman are one & the same. There can be another one understanding and translation, a sacred secret you can dig out from this sutra – Brahman is abundance, Brahman is life, Existence is life! By very nature it goes on expanding, expanding, expanding. Understand I will present the interpretation of this sutra. I will present this sutra maybe in this angle – existence is bliss, existence is constant expansion. Please understand bliss constantly expands in all dimension. If you are experiencing levitation, automatically you will see you are expanding in the dimension of health, wealth, relationships in every dimension. Please understand if you are levitating and your wealth is not expanding, your health is not expanding means something is seriously wrong - you are not levitating, you are just jumping around. Don’t hop around. Because these are infallible information which can never be flawed. These are Brahma Sutras – aphorisms on existence, cosmic law. Existence is abundance - constant expansion whether it is in the level of understanding, in the level of love, in the level of life, in the level of health, in the level of wealth – whatever maybe. But, the truth of existence is expansion! Very essence of existence is expansion!

Essence of existence is bliss. Essence of existence is expansion. I wanted all of you to know this 2-3 sacred secrets as today’s flow for vaada prativaada – debate. Today’s flow for eNdebate should be – existence is constant expansion. So if you are living life, existing, you should be expanding. Let me give you some understandings. 1. Even when death comes - for example the 8th birth you are dying, when you die even though you think you are losing something, but you don’t understand now you have the experience of 9th death. You are more rich than last moment. Till the last moment you know only 8 deaths, now you are the master of 9th death. Then the next life happens. now you are master of one m ore brith. then life happens, you aremore and more rich with experience. Then the death happens. then you are more and more rich with 10 deaths. Then next life happens, you are seeing it. now you have mastered the next life.

I wanted to reveal an important sacred secret to all of you from my personal experience, I think even though it is too mystical I can reveal it. whoever is my disciple can connect with it, others it is okay. What to do? When I assumed this body I collected bio memory from Arunagiri Yogishwara, Madhura Meenakshi, little bit from Swami Vivekananda. When I collected my bio memory and made this body and assumed the body - took birth, I saw suddenly I updated even my Meenakshi bio memory. Understand, bio memory of Meenakshi continues to grow! You may think are they not perfect? They are perfect but not end. Understand, enlightenment is ultimate but not final. Meenakshi is ultimate no doubt but not final. The ultimate goes on exploding into ultimate! The ultimate exploding into ultimate! It is a constant expansion, constant expansion, constant expansion! Constant expansion of certain flow is what I call abundance! Life is abundance. Existence is abundance. You go on creating. Understand - you are a creator. If you want to spend time on wealth creation, you will do that. If you want to spend time on peace creation, you will do that. If you want to spend time on creating spiritual bliss you will do that. Just today I decided it is not that I decided, just like that it landed, happened on me, like a flower it opened up maybe evening around 5:30 I decided that I will run all the temples properly. We will bring the temple based vedic tradition alive! It is good. Constant expansion. We will bring the temple based life style back to life! I will just travel city to city, village to village, country to country putting one hand on my hip and other hand on the staff looking up only to see the temple towers all over the world! We will bring the temple based life style back to life. I just felt this is the only way. It is time I straight away put my foot. So much money we Hindus pour on temples is getting abused. It is time I straight away put my foot. I will reform. We will bring the temple based life style back to life. Life is expansion. We will go on be expanding, expanding, expanding!

Life is abundance! By its very nature existence goes on expanding. Even scientists are saying the whole cosmos is continuously expanding, expanding, expanding. The very quality of existence is expansion. Be consoled life is not for death. Be consoled existence is not sadist. There is no negativity. It is a causeless reasonless expansion in understanding, in wealth, in life, in bliss - it is expansion, expansion, expansion! This should be the today’s thought trend – continuous expansion. Source, cause, existence is bliss. The today’s sutra expresses the source, cause, existence is expansion – abundance! Yesterday’s sutra is source is bliss. Yesterday itself I said when you realize source is bliss, bliss attracts fortune! Today’s sutra the essence is source is expansion. Source is not just bliss. Source is bliss and expansion. So today have your debate vaada prativaada in this lines – how source is expansion? How by being in source or being in existence you can go on creating. Understand every thought which happens in you itself is abundance. Thinking is abundance. Thinking is wealth. I tell you if you are having poverty by thinking, you want poverty in wealth. Whether it is poverty in thinking or wealth, maybe it is abundance. Who knows – like Tenali Rama cat story. Tenali Rama had a cat. Tenali Rama is a hindu version of joker. Hindu version of Mullah Nasruddin. He is from Tenali a small village in Andhra. He was an intelligent joker. You cannot even call him as joker, he was an intelligent comedian in Vijayanagara empire – a great personality. So many stories are attributed to him. By birth Brahmin – a great guy an amazing intelligent person. So one day, king finds all over his country rats are there. So he wanted to kill all the rats, so he gets cats and gives each house one one cat. And naturally people ask we need milk to feed cat. King gives each house one one cow so that they can get the milk and give it to cat. But suddenly somebody complained that people are drinking milk and not feeding the cat. So king made a rule. Within one month he will call all people and the cats will be checked if the cats are fat. All cats are fat except Tenali’s. This fellow is still drinks milk and his cat is thin. Finally on the day all cats came and jumping around. Tenali’s cat is almost dying. He put the cat in front of king. King said what is this, what did you do with all the milk? Tenali innocently says Oh my lord! I don’t know but this cat does not drink milk. King looked in and said – what cat does not drink milk? He says come on let us have medical test. They brought the milk, put it in front of the cat .but really the cat ran away seeing the milk pot! King was shocked how can this be? King surrendered to Tenali I know you will prove whatever you say. No medical test will work on you. But I just wanted you to reveal the truth so that I will breathe peacefully. Otherwise I will die with the thought how can a cat not drink milk? Then Tenali said I wanted to tell you the foolish thing you are doing. If you are feeding the cats so much milk, they will all drink and sleep and will not kill the rat. Why will cat kill the rat if he is given so much milk? Then the king said oh God! How true. Then king asked how did you make cat not drink milk. Then Tenali said one day I boiled the milk nicely and made him drink. Only once I made the cat put his mouth on the hot, hot milk. After that even if he sees any white liquid he just runs away!

Understand maybe even you burnt your tongue like Tenali’s cat towards wealth. Even if you have accumulating wealth and running away like Tenali’s cat to poverty who knows? Poverty is your choiceful negative abundance. You go on planning and I have seen people feeling pride about poverty. And you spend so much time in making it sacred also. like slowly the garbage can becoming dieity. Sometime the Bharatn villagers, you will be shocked, even if the garbage can which looks like shiva linga they will put it upside down and put cloth and worship it. that is another rone dimension, you can worship anything! If we were not in the space of worshipping the mile stones put by British, we would have been in the space of British who destroyed millions of human beings. How many millions of people they killed to colonize the whole world. And they say we are uncultured. You need to be cultured to look at God in a small mile stone. You don’t need to be cultured to use the bullets and beerangi to kill innocent people in Jaliyanwala bagh. For that you don’t need to be cultured! . You need to be cultured to worship the road side mile stones as God. Still we are carrying the intellectual wound they infected on us! I have come to heal that wound – the intellectual wounds they infected on Hindu Tradition. We are not bothered about all the gold they swindled from here and took,we are not bothered about all the wealth they grabbed, sucked from our country and took. Because consciously we are rich, we will go on creating richness. I have studied, I tell you the most stable economy in the planet earth is Bharatn economy. During the worst global crisis, 8 out of 10 Bharatns did not even know that the big global crisis is going on. 8 out of 10 Bharatns did not stop purchasing. Because we are a saving based economy. Go to any middle class family, you will see at least 1 kg gold. We are a gold based economy, saving based economy. By our religion and faith we believe you need to make wealth for your kids and grand kids for them to keep your shraadha and pindadaana. For that we have to save, save, save & save. We are a saving based civilization. The idea that my last cheque should bounce is not there in Bharat. Anywhere ask any man he will say if my last cheque is bounced that is enough. But in Bharat it is not like that. We save, save, save. We are a saving based civilization. Only in Bharat maximum number of people own their house, own their car. Very stable economy we have. I went though all the statistics. It is a wrong idea or a wrong scale of economy that the west is using to show us in lower place. Otherwise I am telling you we are higher than them in economy. That is why I am telling you we are not bothered about our wealth that was stolen. We give to so many beggars. But the british cannot be forgiven for the intellectual wounds they inflicted on my Veda mata. I will heal the wound and make them understand so that they don’t repeat these kinds of things on any other civilizations. Constantly in you every moment thoughts are happening. It is life. Understand thoughtless space is your inner wealth. Thoughts are your outer world wealth. So both are your abundance. Don’t abandon thinking. I am giving you the new clarity - resting in no mind state that does not mean you will hate thinking. I wanted all of you to know – don’t think I don’t have thinking. I am beyond thinking and thinking is also happening in me like a blood circulation. Are you bothered about the blood circulation happening in your system? Then why are you bothered about hthiniking?

How the blood circulation happening in your body does not disturb you same way the thinking happening in me is not disturbing me. This is one of the important ss. It is always misunderstood that the English being is not thinking. I am telling you very clearly, I have 42 times more number of independent files happening in me more than any one of you. for example if you can maintain one department work, follow it up, update It and think further about it, I can say I can maintain 42 departments I can maintain than any normal man, I can say any intelligent man. Only thing just like your blood circulation does not disturb you, my thinking does not disturb me. People who live around me are shocked by my memory power, the remembrance or the maintenance of the old files. I am telling you. in 42 independent logics are functioning in my system. I am not disturbed by that thinking. That’s all. So thinking is abundance. Don’t hate it. If you are thinking about poverty, you will create the abundance of poverty. If you are thinking abundance of wealth, you will create abundance of wealth. You will create abundance of what you want. That’s it. For example, now you created sitting with me and listening to bs, you have created this abundance now. So naturally this ist he abundance you are creating. Everyday the abundance is happening in your inner space. The abundance is happening in you. If instead you think about wealth, you will create wealth. That’s it. 0-1, 0-1, 0-1 is your inner space/ just because I am using the word 0-1, 0-1 don’t think both are not happening in you. NO. – the 0 is restful awareness, 1 is thought. Don’t think they are against each other. NO. both are happening in you. The restful awareness is inner wealth and thoughts are outer wealth. Thoughts are abundance and restful awareness is bliss. It is like inner bone in elephant is called teeth and extended teeth is tusk. Same way the inner peace is bliss and the extended bliss is thought. Stop hating thought. By hating thought and trying to stop a thought you will only suffer more and more. It is life destructive. You will never be successful. So understand, be not disturbed by thinking. That happens by practice of unclutching. Nothing else. Or even decision. Just a conscious decision also can make you realize.

Understand and look, live – life is abundance. Life is abundance, Life is rich. Life is enlightenment. Life is life! So the sacred secret today for the vaada prativaada is – life is constant expansion, life is abundance means existence is abundance and thinking is not opposite to restful awareness or enlightenment. Real enlightenment is not being disturbed by thinking like blood circulation. Blood circulation, heart beating, breathing all these things are happening in you- you are not disturbed by it then why should you be disturbed by thinking?. Being beyond thinking is enlightenment! So use thinking for abundance. Don’t disrespect thinking or misuse thinking, abuse thinking. Think and create abundance – wealth. Existence is expansion. Yesterday the sacred secret is existence is bliss. Today’s sacred secret is existence is abundance. We will sit with this truth now thinking is abundance. Just sit now without being bothered about thinking, by thinking. Don’t be bothered just like how you are not bothered about different things going on in your system like blood circulation is going on, in lungs breathing air circulation is going on, digestion, air circulation, just the same way thinking is going on, why be disturbed by it? Just sit like breathing, blood circulation, like that thinking is happening in you. Sit and relax in this truth. Let the inner awakening of being beyond thinking happen in you all!

I bless you all who are sitting with us in 626 places in 235 cities in 33 countries!
