“Let me enter into today’s sutra.”
Prayer. Welcome.
Let me enter into today’s sutra.
1st chapter, 1st section, 16th sutra –
Netaro napathade
Gambhirananda: the other is not the supreme self because that is illogical
Veereshwarananda: Brahman and not the other individual soul is meant here on account of the impossibility of that assumption
Shivananda: Brahman and not the other individual soul is meant here on account of the impossibility of the assumption
As you are all aware, I am continuing on 16th sutra of Brahmasutras. The sacred secret embedded in this sutras is 2. 1st the positive affirmation, cause is existence, source is existence and negative clarity the individual soul is not only not source for existence it is not filled with bliss! The khandana mandana expressing the truth in affirmating way and discarding the truth in a strong way – khandana & mandana. Vyasa very beautifully puts it source is intelligence and the individual soul is not intelligence. Cause is intelligence and the individual soul is not the cause. He goes to the extreme of saying do not assume the individual soul is source of happiness because of it being illogical – he says the assumption cannot be maintained even in one step the assumption cannot be maintained by the individual self. It is utterly illogical! The basic truth experienced by the individual and the cosmic truth experienced by the cosmos continuously this two has a big gap. For example now I am sitting and talking on Brahmasutras. All of you are attending for last 16 days. So all of you catch at least what I am saying. But whatever I am talking is relayed live in Malaysia in a temple as part of the festival happening there. So millions are walking. Somebody comes there and stares at the screen, listen to me and think this is not for me. after few minutes he will walk out. Now what will he think about Brahmasutras and about me. same way, if come and stop for few minutes in the world and assume few things – like pizza is source of God. You just make some assumptions. Just like how people in that exhibition come for few minutes and see me for few minutes and make assumptions and go. Same way you come to planet earth and attend to few things that you have come down for! If you sit down and listen to what Is happening, you can grasp. Most of the time you are a casual visitor when it comes to facing reality. We don’t attend to it. we don’t give much interest. Reality reveals its reality to you when you are interested in it! Just for the sake of reality. Not any benefit it may bring. Please understand many people go beyond reality expecting it may bring bliss. It brings bliss not as you ask but as it wants. Sometime people go beyond reality thinking it makes you more spiritual. It makes you more spiritual not as you think but as it thinks, same way moral. There is a huge conflict always from swadharma and para dharma. Swadharma and para dharma always fight. Here I am using these 2 words. What you thing as dharma and what is dharma. These 2 fight. When these 2 stop fighting – you are enlightened! At one point these 2 merge. The time you spend for reality with the quality – when I say quality, asking for reality just for the sake of reality, not for when I get reality I will become more moral, more blissful, will have golden throne – then NO. you lost it. reality is supposed to be asked just for reality!
Tyaage naike amrutatva manasuhu
There is no path other than Tyaga to reach the eternal space. Tyaaga for the sake of tyaaga. Asking for reality just for the sake of reality. Not for anything else. The other day one person asked me in Kalpataru I want enlightenment. I asked what will you do with that? He said I want long hair like you! I said for that go for hair transplant why the trouble of being enlightenment? Trying to have reality for some reason is the main difficulty we face. Then how to? What is the symbol of reality. What is the image of reality. Why should we break our head for something which is just a image. We always have an image to feel secure. Any form, any name including my form, my name cannot be eternal. There is a space where it is almost eternal but not eternal. It is like a door where you are almost out but not really out. All names, all forms should be used as a door to jump from what you call as moksha. As I said yesterday totapuri is asking Ramakrishna to perform the most sacrilegious thing. But suddenly Ramakrishna is in a higher space! And one imp thing you should know after everything was over, when Ramakrishna was established in the Nirvikalpa Samadhi, it is not that he did not stop going to kali temple. He cut the head of Kali and got enlightenment. And it is not that no more kali existed for him. No. he continued to worship her after that. That is why I say Hinduism is not only about God but even God exists as a stepping stone for us to experience Godliness.
In Vedic tradition we don’t bother whether God exists or not, if you can achieve Godliness by believing God exists – please go ahead. If you can achieve Godliness by believing that God does not exist – please go ahead. We don’t have a problem. Basic understanding is source is existence individual soul is not the source and is not source of existence or source of any bliss or any eternal auspicious expression! I can say there are so many eternal auspicious expressions – nirantaratva, nithyatva, anandatva, satva, chitva, swayam prakasatva, tejomayanandatva, swatmanandatva – these are all the eternal auspicious expressions of the source. These expressions cannot be part of the individual soul. Only when the individual soul turns back and merges into the source, this can be the experience. Not otherwise. I can say Vyasa is hitting us again & again & again in so many different angles he is preparing us. He is making a strong solid foundation. He is not making foundation exactly where he is making the wall. He is building a huge concrete pad because he does not know where the wall will be built. For example, if he wants to make you only bliss, source is bliss or only intelligent – source is intelligent if he puts only this foundation and builds the building that is enough. He is not making foundation only where the main weight is going to sit, where he is going to build the wall. But he is building a huge concrete wall because he does not know where the wall will sit or weight will sit. He is going to hit us in so many 100s of expressions!
Just today I was doing a scientific study – when you put weight on certain muscles how the prana moves & the kundalini energy awakens. I started lifting each & every weight started doing different movements as per the Western methods and Bharatn yoga methods. Spiritually scanned each exercise’s ability to awaken kundalini or what happens during those exercises as far as the kundalini energy is concerned. I saw very clearly when it comes to the shoulder and muscle parts the kundalini energy awakens. When you are lifting weight with the shoulders any word you hear registers in your system. When you work out any scene you see never gets into your system. If you are working on your thigh muscles, kundalini does not get awakened. It is useless. If you work out on you ab muscles, straight away your kundalini awakens, immediately it awakens. If you do yoga by standing, not only your 7 upper chakras, even the below 7 chakras energy flows.
When I was doing all these researches on kundalini, I was able to scan different different things how the kundalini awakens and non-mechanical parts of the brain get awakened and intelligence awakens. What happens by the intense weight lifting and yoga, exactly same happens when you just contemplate on one Brahmasutras. I can say lazy man’s medicine is Brahmasutras. You don’t need to move belly and all parts attached to belly ☺ nothing needs to be moved. The non-mechanical parts of your brain can be awakened and you can become enlightened just by contemplating on the Brahmasutras. The orthodox vedantis are well built and they retain yogas. It the modern day vedantic organizations who broke the relationship between Sanyas and well built body. Till Vivekananda the sanyasis have to have body which has to be well built.
Today I declare, in Nithyananda Sampradaya we will not have this Jubba. Let us have yoga vastram and pancha kacham. You cannot hide your belly in this. but in jubba you can hide it. if you are really contemplating on Brahmasutras and become enlightened then don’t work out. I have no problem. But these guys neither do this nor any physical methods of awakeing of kunadilin. Kundalini can be done by 2 ways – 1. Intense physical yoga, 2. Contemplating on the most subtle truths. If you do both then only you are enlightened. If you do physical yoga, you are just body builder. That’s all. If you sit with the ideas and nothing else, you have a huge belly nothing else.
All the organizations who started wearing the jubba, the stitched cloth are responsible for this pot belly. I decided from today I declare in Nithyananda Sampradyaa we will have only sleeveless. Because then you need to maintain. I saw all hindu organizations have slowly moved out of health and also slowly moved out of Vedanta. Brahmasutras can awaken the non-mechanical parts of the brain just by contemplation. It is possible. But in that name, not moving the body has become a vedantic culture. That is what is wrong! Till Vivekananda there was a strict rule the stitched cloth should not be worn by a sanyasi. Then you cannot have belly and you have to maintain the body. then when the vedantic ideas are fed and you are building your body then you will naturally become enlightened. It is almost like a forced routine.
This 2 sacred secrets – Brahman is source. The individual soul is not the source. Brahman is ultimate. The individual soul is not the ultimate. Understand he is making the foundation very clear. Vyasa is making the foundation very clear because he does not know where all he is going to put his weight. Future when he is going to awaken the non-mechanical parts of your brain. That is why he is putting these into you now. So in the initial level itself he is very clearly putting the foundation by teaching all the basic truths – source is bliss. If you see last 16 days I am stalking almost 2-3 statements in diff diff things that’s all. If you think I am repeating the same thing, you should not repeat me, you should blame Vyasa because he is telling the same thing. I cannot do anything. Today’s thought trend for the vaada prativaada – logic, argument – individual source is not source. Existence is source – this you have to prove in both positive and negative – in both senses. Not just in one sense. Vaada prativaada is a powerful meditation process by itself. It can awaken so many of your non-mechanical parts of the brain! I could see just this Brahmasutras has made so many people levitate and so many people’s kundalini is getting awakened just by Brahmasutras. I want you to know vedantis do not accept any spiritual experience except the roti & makkan. They do not accept kundalini, Gods or any spiritual experience. They accept only roti and makkan.
Actually when you do intense yoga, what happens how the kundalini is awakened, when you do intense eNkriya, sincere worship, pooja how kundalini is awakened, same way when you do vaada prativaada on Brahmasutras, the kundalini can be awakened. Contemplating, analyzing logically digesting the great truths of Brahmasutras directly awakens your kundalini! So now I am giving you the sacred secret for vaada prativaada.
Source is not individual self. Source is cosmic existence. Don’t say I know this already. Why should I argue. If you know by now, then you should know. It has not become your experience. So debate now. Remove all your doubts one by one, drill yourself – why source is not individual self, why source is cosmic intelligence. One more thing when the kundalini is awakened, you levitate and you will lose bad cholesterol! Last IA we proved that all participants lost 2 ½ kg of bad cholesterol.
Lazy man’s technique for enlightened and losing the pot belly is Brahmasutras. So now start the vaada prativaada. You can sit within you. I think each one of you should do vaada prativaada with your own buddhi – the power of cognizance and your dhi - means after you take cognizance the reaction and response you do. Your buddhi & dhi that is what is vyasa and shankara. Inside you this argument vaada prativaada should start. The vaada prativaada between aatman and mind is Shankara and Mandana Mishra. The vaada prativaada between Buddhi and dhi is Vyasa and Shankara. You should be courageous enough to argue inside your mind. You should drill yourself ready to take both stands and then finally boil down to what you feel as factual reality as per your cognizance.
Sit for few minutes with this one sacred secret – source is existence, source is not individual self. Blessings!
