“Bagavad Gita Krishna: Beloved of the universe!”

Bagavad Gita Krishna: Beloved of the universe! DATE: Day 1: Aug 22nd 2011

The greatest dimension of the happening called Krishna is love; the ability to receive and give love. I can say, the undercurrent of Krishna’s life whether he killed Kauravas or did politics with Shakuni or destroyed Sishupala or killed Kamsa or played with Gopikas or revealed this great Gita to Arjuna everything, everything, every incident, every happening every dimension he expressed, the undercurrent the connecting thread of everything is love. His romance is one expression of his love. His politics is another one expression of his love. His management is another one expression of his love. His anger is another one expression of his love and his enmity is another one expression of his love. I can say everything he expressed the base material is LOVE.

He is love incarnate; he is the beloved of the universe. I can say… most loved human being happened on the planet earth; other Gods are all may be worshipped, revered, respected. People used to be devoted but nobody is loved like Krishna. Even with Shiva you are devoted, you revere, you respect, you worship but nothing like Krishna when it comes to the question of being loved.

With so much of difficulty, so many people, so many people sacrificed so many things for the love of Krishna. From the gopikas and gopas to my Gopikas and Gopas the amount of sacrifice people have done for his love, leaving the brothers, leaving the parents, leaving the family, leaving the relatives, giving up the wealth; unimaginable sacrifices. But I tell you even if you sacrifice your very life, his one glance just in the corner of the eyes, one look is worthy.

Like the thread connecting all the flowers and making the flower as garland, if I have to find the center thread of Krishna, I can say LOVE. The story goes to say, describes, even Shakuni, because of constant remembering, unaware way when he relaxes; he used to have a deep friendly romantic connection with Krishna. When his logic is alive active...NOOOOO!!! I will see to it what is done to this fellow, but when his logic is tired because always the active logic is like two gears hitting each other without any lubrication. It is like you having a teeth in the stomach and grinding ...drrr drrr...Parapara...Naturally the irritation, the friction you can’t maintain yourself in that high friction and irritation for a long time. So you would like to come down from the high horse, you would like to come down from that continuous irritation, you would like to come down to that little relaxed space where your logic is not active all the time, you may just want to rest. Even to sleep you have to come down from that logic which works like the teeth in the stomach, eating your own intestine.

So whenever Shakuni comes down from his self destructive logic, he used to feel a very deep friendly romantic connection with Krishna, what a personality, wow…. what a grace! But immediately the moment he becomes aware, ‘no what are you thinking, you have to destroy him, you have to fight with him’, so he is again back as shakuni.

Understand Krishna was able to infuse love even in his enemies hearts...you can’t separate Krishna and love; you can’t remember Krishna without remembering love. I tell you, if you have tasted the true love, you can’t remember love without remembering Krishna. He is symbol of love. He is the brand ambassador for love. Nobody, nobody is able to again sit in his place. The whole Bharatn psyche still lives Krishna. I don’t want to use the word remembers Krishna, it’s too small word. Of course any word I use to remember Krishna or introduce Krishna is too small. I say still Bharatn psyche lives Krishna, not just remembers. I think I am going to speak more on Krishna than on Gita, this next one year, because he is the man who first set a trend that macrocosm can express in human body microcosm in a full fledged and in full bloomed way.

Bagavad Gita Krishna: The Ultimate Friend DATE: Day 2: Aug 23rd 2011

When a disciple experiences he has a right to update, amend, alter, his Guru’s statements; his own Gurus statements. When Sureshwaracharya became enlightened, naturally he added, commented, contributed his original research and development by writing vartikas on Shankara’s bashyas. Whatever commentary Shankara wrote on Upanishads, Gita, Brahma sutra, many books many of them Sureshwara wrote vartika, means commentary on commentary to express his own R\&D.

We allow updation and we encourage updation. We don’t have a problem. But when the transfer of knowledge is happening, when the transmission of lamp is happening, when the initiation is happening, when you are ripening to a self realization enlightenment experience, not only you need to catch the conclusion of the Guru you need to catch the very logical steps of the Guru to reach those conclusions. So personal research and development can be shared only to a friend; only with tremendous friendliness you can share your struggles.

I tell you if I don’t share my struggles I will not be contributing to all of you my original inventions. Whatever I achieved without struggle are all somebody else’s inventions, somebody else’s R\&D. When I read Upanishads I did not have complication, conflict with many of the concepts. It means what…. all those concepts are their R\&D, not my R\&D. So if I share those things I will be giving you only shastra pramana, the truths revealed by the ancient Masters; sometimes which may not be practical for you. You may not be able to directly apply it in your life.

But only when I explain my struggles, only when I explain my conflicts, the concepts with which I had conflict, the concepts with which I fought, the concepts with which I need to work to convince myself to awaken my bio memory to experience those truths, only those incidents those conflicts those contradictions those struggles are my original contribution. Only they are my research and development. Understand they will be directly practical to you in your life because I am carrying a body in the same spectrum you are carrying your body; in the same time frame.

When Krishna says sambhavami yuge yuge he only bothers about the time. He does not say I will happen in same place again and again. He says I will happen again and again based on time. You see, he is only saying at different times I will happen again and again. He is not saying I will happen in different places again and again because he is more bothered about the change of time than the change of geography. He knows the future is going to run based on the time not on geography. The moment the communication revolution has happened geography has lost value, borders have lost value. Still some perverted politicians go on hold the concept of borders.

I have a vision - a borderless planet earth where the whole administration should be with Universities, not eighth grade fail politicians. Most of them can’t even think to run their family. Just because they learnt few ideas, tricks of the trade from somebody, unfortunately they get to rule. All intelligent people move out of this dirty fight. That’s the worst thing happened to politics. All intelligent people doesn’t want to fight and the fellows who wants to fight naturally will not be intelligent. That’s one of the worst thing happened.

Even if you see Gita, Arjuna’s logic seems to be very intelligent. He does not want to fight. But Krishna emphasizes intelligent people need to enter into the fight. Only to a close friend with whom you can open your heart, your struggles can be opened only when you are able to respect somebody more and more by knowing his struggles, the conflicts he went through, success he achieved, you became friend to him. By knowing somebody’s struggles and conflicts if you start judging him there is no friendliness. It is relationship waiting to vomit enmity. It’s a seed sown with poison.

Here Krishna shares Gita to his close friend Arjuna to whom he can really show Vishwaroopa, with whom he has a freedom to say ‘Do it Kaunteya’ son of kunti do it. Finally he goes to the extreme of saying sarva dharman parityajya maam egam sharanam vraja. Give up all your concepts and ideas about right and wrong. Just surrender to me. I will lead you. To say these words what an intimate understanding and feeling connection should have been there between Krishna and Arjuna. He says drop your life at my feet. I will not cheat you, I will think for you. I will see to it you achieve the ultimate; moksha ikshyami masuchaha... I will liberate you.

Bhagavath Gita You can walk out of Depression! DATE: Day 3: Aug 24nd 2011

"drustva tu pandavanikam vyudham duryodhanas tathaa

acharyam upasangamya raja vachanam apravit”

What a Sanskrit!! Only a Bhagawan can sing in this poetical trend in war field. I remember Vyasa who is singing this whole thing and Ganesha who is penning down the whole thing; Wow what a poetry.

0.50

Dhuryodhana is depressed, depression has two types; one the depression supported by your ego and the depression which makes you feel total inability. The depression which makes you feel total inability is good. You will understand you need help form outside; you will be able to listen to Krishna's words, which Arjuna was going through. But the depression which is supported by your ego will not be able to listen to Arjunas words will be interested only in the solutions which you feel as solution so you may expect some teacher who will support your solution which you already having which you are strongly believing even in depression.

Depression is not wrong but the depression supported by your ego is something seriously wrong. Poison which is there in the mouth of the snake is not wrong because that poison does not kill the snake itself even though the snake is eating through the same mouth. But the teeth of the poison…. teeth of the snake is wrong. The teeth of the snake injects that poison into the person which the snakes bites. Poison is depression, the teeth is Ego supporting the depression.

Snake has poison in the mouth but it does not die by that poison even though it is eating through the same mouth but when it uses the teeth, its Ego, to inject the poison people die.

Here Arjuna is also in depression, Dhuryodhana is also in depression. Both of them are not able to handle the situation, the mess they got in to.

3.25

Individual souls will always get in to mess and will fall into depression by the mess created by themselves. Fortunate blessed are those whose depression is not supported by their ego. I give you the first non commandment, the sacred secret form this Bhagavath Gita – ‘Blessed are those whose depression is not supported by their ego’.

4.10

Even if you have depression there is every possibility you can be saved if your ego is not supporting your depression. If your ego is supporting your depression, you will not listen to the Krishna’s teachings, you will not listen to the Masters teaching. you will only listen to the teacher who is ready to support your depression, your understanding, your ambition, your ideas, your thoughts.

Even if the teacher is trying to move little away from your conclusions you will shout at them. In the next next sutras you will see the drama; during the fight Duryodhana is disrespecting, abusing his own mentors, Bheesma and Drona saying that you guys are not fighting the war with full heart. you guys are not using all the capacity efficiency.

5.20

Dhuryodhana is the depression supported by the ego, I tell you the worst thing can happen to a Jeeva, soul, the worst mess he can create for himself is supporting his depression by his ego. Depression itself is not wrong. But while you expect your own solution and expect me to support your solution, you are in a big soup, you can’t be saved. Naturally you will start searching for a Drona for a teacher who will support your ego, who will fulfill your ego. By fulfilling ego you can never walk out of depression.

6.22

I tell you, depression itself takes away the capacity to think, takes away the logic which functions, the logic which is responsible for you to understand Dharma, Adharma. when the balance is lost, when the tool which makes you discriminate between the Dharma and Adharma is lost, naturally you will perish because you are standing in Dharmakshetra. You are standing in Dharmakshetra! When your logic to discriminate Dharma Adharma perishes by your depression and you do not go to a Master who will crack your depression, you go to a teacher who will support your ego which is supporting your depression, how do you expect you will win? Only when you stand with the Master who knows about Moksha, only when a Master who knows about Moksha stands by you, you can even understand Dharma.

8.02

Depression supported by ego is poison injected through the teeth. If the teeth is removed, if the teeth is not there, even if the poison is there, it neither kills the snake nor kills somebody else. Looking at the Pandavas army Duryodhana falls into depression. Looking at the Duryodhanas army Arjuna falls into depression. Both Jeevas, both souls are unable to take the responsibility. I tell you, everybody who enters into the war, at one point feels that they are not able to take the responsibility for the decisions they made. In this sutra the secret for individual peace and global peace is there.

Sanjaya says

drstva tu pandavanikam vyudham duryodhanas tatha

acharyam upasangamya raja vachanam apravit

Oh King, looking at the pandava army in full formation, Duryodhana went to his teacher and spoke...

He is reminding Dhritarashtra...still you are king...He is using the word OH King; means he is reminding the responsibility to Dhritarashtra - understand still Duryodhana is not dead, you are the king and he is going to Drona for consultation.

First thing he says Oh king, means - you are responsible.

Second thing he says Duryodhana he is alive.

Third thing he says he is in depression.

Fourth statement he makes is in depression he is going to Drona, his mentor, for advice, for consultation.

The line which he want to say but could not say because the viewer is biased is O’h Dhritarastra call Duryodhana now and tell him to talk to Krishna, go to the MASTER.

Bagavad Gita Catch the Logic behind the Law DATE: Day 4: Aug 25th 2011

In the first chapter of Bhagavad Gita 4th verse Arjuna vishada yoga - atra shooraa maheshvasa Bhimarjuna samayudhihi yuyudhano viratascha drupadascha maharathaha. Here Duryodhana is describing the courage, valor, glory of the other side army. ‘Here in this army there are many heroes wielding mighty bows and equalent military prowess to Bhima and Arjuna, Yuyudhana, Virata and the great chariot warrior Drupada.’ Duryodhana now points out all the great warriors fighting for Pandavas, ready to lay their life for Pandavas.

See when the fear comes enemy looks too powerful; enemy strength is your fear. Suddenly Duryodhana is praising the whole Pandava army. He says here in this army there are many heroes wielding mighty bows and equalent military prowess to Bhima and Arjuna. He raises the Bhīma and Arjuna to a level where he sets a standard based on Bhima and Arjuna. He says Bhima and Arjuna are the standard and to their level there are many heroes – Yuyudhana, Virata and Drupada. Shooraha; he uses the word shooraha - heroes.

Please understand when the ego is mixed with the depression it expresses as fear, when the ego does not mix with the depression it expresses as a withdrawal feeling. If you are just depressed and your ego is not supporting it, you will feel like withdrawing. That is what Arjuna felt. When Arjuna had depression he was withdrawing, he is not describing all the glory of the opposite army. He says very clearly we can kill them but what are we going to get by killing all of them?

Please understand the whole attitude. Here the reason for Duryodhana’s depression is the fear of failure. How can we kill all these heroes…. big fellows are there. But the Arjuna’s depression…. the reason for the Arjuna’s depression is - why should we kill? What are we going to gain by killing all these fellows? See the big difference; depression supported by ego, depression not supported by ego.

If your ego does not support the depression even depression leads you to the right direction. I tell you if Arjuna did not have depression….. there would have been war. Naturally Arjuna would have won the game because Krishna is there. But Arjuna would not have become enlightened. But here his right depression and the right decision to approach the right person...

Arjuna could have gone to Dharma - Yudhistra when he was depressed. I tell you if he has gone to Yudhistra, Yudhistra would have been convinced by Arjuna and they would have withdrawn from the war. He could have gone to Bhīma. Maybe Bhima would have killed Arjuna ‘You fool, at this moment you are trying to torture and disturb the whole process; better let you die’. He could have gone to Nakula and Sahadeva. How they would have handled we don’t know. But fortunately he went to right person – Krishna.

Right depression, right approach, right person was approached. That is why not only Arjuna won the game of the war; he won the game of the life. Sometime your individual ego costs too much in the life. I can say it can cost sometime lives, not just one life, lives.

Atra shooraa maheshvasa Bhimarjuna samayudhihi yuyudhano viratascha drupadascha maharathaha. Duryodhana then pointed out the great Pandava warriors such as Bhīma and Arjuna who two were students of Drona as well as a number of other great warriors fighting for the Pandavas. If you do the psycho analysis of Duryodhana you can see the tremendous overflowing fear, arrogance, ego and unable to take the responsibility unwilling to take the responsibility, the shivering; shivering internally and externally.

Bhagavad Gita Bhishma: Personification of Social Commitment DATE: Day 5: Aug 26th 2011

See, Mahabharata is a book where the personification of each quality appears as one character. Please understand, in your life, so many different experiences you go through, so many different parts you carry in your brain.... you see one part of your brain is knowledge, one part of your brain is compassion, one part of your brain is violence, one part of your brain is cunningness, one part of your brain is speed with discrimination, one part of your brain is speed without discrimination, one part of your brain is the pure silence. If all these parts are awakened, you are full bloomed, then you are Krishna.

Understand when the each part of your brain is actualized to its complete potentiality, it is self actualization. If all the parts, all the non mechanical parts of your brain is actualized to its full potentiality, it is called self realization. So each part, non mechanical part of your brain, actualized in full form, becomes one character in Mahabharata.

Giving, giving is one dimension - non mechanical part of your brain. When that has actualized its full potentiality, when it has reached its peak expression that character is Karna.

Cunningness - that is also part of your brain, non mechanical part of your brain. When that reaches its full actualization that is Shakuni.

Knowledge, the education when that reaches its full actualization - Drona.

So each character is a actualization of certain non mechanical part of your brain. Bhishma is the actualization of respecting social conditioning, social norms, adjusting your life as per the social requirements. This is also one part of your brain. Constantly all your ambitions, all your desires, all your goals, all your ideals, all your ideas are edited, altered, organized as per the society’s expectation about you. Society gives certain requirement list to you. You tend to alter all your ideas, ideals, goals as per those requirements. Sometimes when you are not ready to alter, when it is too much, you rebel. You become a revolutionary.

Here Bhishma is the personification of ability to alter your personal ideals and ideas, ambitions to the requirement of society. I am not saying it is right. Please understand I am not saying it is right and I am not saying it is wrong. This is also one dimension of your non mechanical parts of the brain. In your brain there is a non mechanical part which goes on altering, changing, correcting, editing your ideas and ideals as per the requirement of the external society. People who are benefited by your adjusting, by your alteration, by your acceptance, they call you as a tyagi. But I am not saying it is 100% right. Bhishma is embodiment of social conditioning. He has become such a character, he does not even have a pain when he alters his requirements as per the need of the society, when he alters his necessity as per the need to the society.

I should introduce Bhishma to all of you. He is really an enchanting character. For some people he can be unimaginable hero, for some people he can be just a person who has given up everything. I can say except achieving the enlightenment, he has all the auspicious things. Instead of taking that jump from social conditioning to enlightenment; at the last moments of life, he took the jump in the last moments, in the death bed. If he has taken that jump little early, I can say he would have been one more Krishna; a second perfect expression in Mahabharata; maybe he sacrificed even his enlightenment to maintain a unique character representing social conditioning.

He represents social conditioning; whatever is expected from you socially - dedication to parents, dedication to the country, dedication to the king, dedication till the end to all the rules and regulations of the war even while the opposite, the enemies, are breaking all the rules and regulations. First time Krishna is breaking the rule, commitment he made he will not take up a weapon and fight; he has picked up a wheel, chariot wheel and trying to kill Bhishma. Bhishma says Oh God! If you want to kill me, come on I am here. He drops all the weapons and he says you are a charioteer as on now in your position. A Charioteer is not supposed to take up a weapon and fight especially when the owner is alive and active. But if a charioteer wants to fight, I am ready. I am ready to accept and even in the end nobody was able to defeat him; nobody was able to defeat him.

He made a vow he will not fight with transgenders; he will fight only with men. So very cunningly, sorry to use the word, but that is the right word; very cunningly Krishna brings Shikhandi to the front, war front. When Bhishma sees Shikhandi he knows if he does not fight with Shikhandi, he stops sending the arrows, he will be killed. Arjuna is hiding behind Shikhandi and sending the arrows. All the arrows attacking Bhishma are from Arjuna; because in those days in each arrow the name of the person will be engraved. So each arrow touches him, Bhishma sees it is Arjuna’s arrows. Means Shikhandi is only in the front, Arjuna is hiding. But he did not even bother. I have taken a vow I will not fight with transgenders. I will fight only with men and he stands by the vow even while dying.

I can tell you, such a personification of vratha – will! Whatever society teaches you as good, if you collect all those qualities, Bhishma is the embodiment of all those qualities. Nobody else can be such a perfect expression of social conditioning. Only from the angle of enlightenment I should say Bhishma is little late. Other than that, from any angle if you look at him, he is personification of perfection. Just because he missed that one point, I am not able to say he is personification of perfection in everything. Except that one point I can say he is equalent to Krishna in everything.

Bhagavath Gita Arjuna: The ultimate possibility DATE: Day 6: Aug 27nd 2011

The next verse Vyasa describes

Atha vyavasthitan drstva dhartarastran kapidhvajah

pravrtte sastrasampate dhanur udyamya pandavah

hrshikesam tada vakyam idam aha mahipate

Seeing the sons of Dhrtarastra arrayed in the battle field, Arjuna, the son of Pandu, who was seated in his chariot, bearing the flag marked with Hanuman, took up his bow.

Now the character Arjuna is introduced first time in Bhagavad Gita; hero of whole Bhagavad Gita. Understand nobody else other that Arjuna can be a receiver of a great book like Bhagavad Gita. Please understand, when a statue is created it is not only the greatness of the metal poured into it, the greatness of the mould also plays the role. Same way, see Krishna's Intelligence is like a metal, like a Gold, melted Gold, molten Gold. It’s getting poured, it is Arjunas mental setup which acts like a mould how the Gold is going to get stored, how is the gold is going to get frozen, how the gold is going to become a statue, that is decided only based on the Arjunas mental setup.

All the great things, this book expresses, Arjuna is also responsible for it. Please understand Arjuna is also responsible. Even some boring things in this book like a repetition….. Please understand when you read Bhagavad Gita first time you will feel there are lot of repetition. Even I used to feel God! What kind of patience Krishna is having. What a way he is teaching Arjuna, unique character. Sometime he acts very dumb, so that the teachings received is helped, is useful, even to the dumbest people on the planet earth. I can be sure he can’t be so dumb….. after all a King! He can’t be so dumb to ask the same questions again and again. May be he is asking so that even ordinary people can understand the truths of Bhagavad Gita.

The glorious expression of Bhagavad Gita, not only Krishna is responsible Arjuna also is responsible, because the man who receives His intelligence plays a main role in the way in which the teachings are given. One side Arjuna has to be highly intelligent. Only then the ultimate teaching, the Raja vidya can be given. Krishna gives Raja Vidya here, supreme Knowledge and raja guhya the most secret.

Please understand, he gives the supreme knowledge which is a supreme secret. So for that Arjuna has to be highly intelligent and trustworthy. Same way he has to act dumb to make Krishna repeat the truth again and again. I think Arjuna tests Krishna if he puts the same question again and again what kind of answers Krishna is giving. If Krishna is giving the same kind of answers then the answer is true. If you tell a lie once you won’t be able to remember that again and again and repeat the same lie. So Arjuna is recording for posterity, for eternity, all the solutions in a proper way, in a unmistakable way, in all possible directions.

For example when you ask me to define Yoga at different times I will be giving different definitions. It is not that some definitions are high some are lower. I am giving the different definitions based on the different thought trend. So Arjuna collects definition for all the key terms like yoga, tapah, gyana, aanma, vairagya, knowledge; all the key terms Arjuna collects definitions from Krishna from all thought currents, from all thought trends. From different thought trends he gets the answers for all the different key terms. Seeing the Arjunas innocence and interest Krishna goes on and on and on.

I tell you only a person like Arjuna can receive great book like Gita. The tradition says they are incarnation of Nara Narayana means the same energy which expresses as Paramathma and Jeevathma. See in Vaishnava tradition, Vishnu expresses himself as Narayana and Nara. In Shaiva tradition we call it as Pasu pathi; Pure soul and the soul which reflects on the body. The pure soul is Pathi and the reflection of the soul on the body is Pasu .Pure soul is Narayana and the soul which reflects on the body is Nara. So they call it Naranarayana. So Arjuna is just his own reflection.

Unless I describe all the details of Krishna Arjuna relationship, you won’t understand the whole Bhagavad Gita because what a deep love and concern was a basis for this whole teaching.

Bhagavad Gita Responsibility is a Power DATE: Day 7: Aug 28th 2011

I wanted to introduce these words used here by Sanjaya - the words to mention Krishna and Arjuna. He uses the word Kutakesha for Arjuna. Kutakesha means man who conquered the sleep. Rishikesho means man who conquered, mastered all the senses. Man who conquered all the senses is driving the chariot. Man who conquered the sleep is going to fight. Then what will happen. See here, conquering the senses means ability to control, conquering the sleep means ability to explode; two different dimensions of conquering. Conquering the sleep means no laziness, no tiredness; all the things related to sleep laziness, tiredness, the chronic fatigue, everything has only one root. Arjuna is a guy who has conquered that.

See kutakesha is one of the great quality - conquering the sleep. When you are able to conquer the sleep something happens to your brain. Not just non mechanical parts of your brain is awakened, extraordinary creativity and the feeling to take responsibility… please understand conquering sleep not only means that ability to live without sleeping or ability to sleep whenever you want, as long as you want. It also means ability to take the responsibility.

Many time people are afraid to accept new type of life. They don’t want to take up new kind of life. They don’t want to make new major big decisions and they have a very nice word to cover up their laziness ‘we take life as it comes’. If you are waiting for the life to take the major responsibilities for you, it will take the major decisions for you, it will do; but after giving you strong kicks. Very beautifully Vivekananda says better you take the responsibility and make decisions; otherwise Maya will start doing. Maya means the nature, the world will start doing. But the difficulty is when Maya starts doing, you will be given such a strong message, sometimes it permanently impairs some of your capabilities and freedom.

It happened. Let me give you one example. One guy who was our devotee started having some affairs. Wife came and cried to me.

I said ‘call that guy’.

I called him and said ‘what is this?’

Then he said ‘Swamiji, you should only stop me’.

I asked him ‘what do you mean that I should only stop you? You want me to take your car keys and hide it or what?’

He said ‘no, no, no, you only should take care of me, you only should stop me.’

I said ‘don’t you see it is such a nasty way of escaping from the responsibility?’

Anyhow the fool went away dodging me. He had some serious accident, a very powerful injury in the back and muladhara tup! Fuse gone! Very difficult!!

See if you have listened and taken the responsibility on your own it would have been totally different. But when the life teaches that becomes totally different. Sometime your life may connect, your motives may go parallelly with the motives of the cosmos, but that is not enough. You should have the complete understanding which cosmos is carrying.

Please understand not just in being in tune with the cosmos as a accident…. you see here the Arjuna’s motive and Krishna’s motive are touching each other at one or two points as an accident….war…. that’s all. That is the only common point. But other motives are all different. But Arjuna needs to imbibe all the logics of Krishna, all the motives of Krishna, completely. Till you understand the whole, you can’t exactly catch the truth. See, if Arjuna is not understanding all the logic or the reason with which Krishna is functioning he may miss something.

Bhagavad Gita Science of Relationships DATE: Day 8: Aug 29th 2011

Understand the science of relationships. It is not just the phenomena of the mind. It’s a phenomena of the body.

Do not collapse relationships. Please understand do not illogically collapse relationships. It will directly affect some part of your body. Unless you are logically, completely convinced that this relationship can’t be maintained, this is going to be abusive, it is going to be disturbing and disrupting your life, don’t collapse any relationship. That is why I always insist when people come to me asking they want to break their family, they want to go for divorce. I tell them ‘wait, wait for some more time.’ They say ‘No, no Swamiji. Anyhow I have decided. I can’t live with her, I can’t live with him. Better let me break now, why torture.’ I tell them ‘No, if you are tortured, your muscle memory and bio memory will strongly start believing this is more disruptive, this is not the way you want to live. Then if you break, you will not have any physical diseases. But before your bio memory or muscle memory is convinced, only when your head the mind is convinced if you break, the collapsing will simply turn into a disease inside you.’ That is why I insist wait, wait for some more time. Whether your muscle memory or bio memory changes your decision or it is going to support your decision, let’s see. Let us see how your mind is able to continue.

Here many parts of the Arjuna’s bio memory is shivering because they are going to die. When Drona dies, naturally the bio memory of Arjuna’s shoulder has to die. The strength in Arjuna’s shoulder has to disappear. When Bhishma dies the tremendous energy he gets by social commitment, the parental conditioning has to die. When Shakuni dies, when Karna dies, the tremendous energy he gets by the anger and violence has to die.

Understand when your enemy is dead there is nobody to invoke energy in you if you are driven only by anger and violence. Naturally a kshtriya like Arjuna, surely much of his energy is from anger and violence. Anger and violence is at least fuel for majority of his bio memory. That is his petrol tank that is his fuel. So even if the enemy is dead, some part of you is going to die; something is going to disappear. Now he is facing the naked reality. Please understand many time you think ‘eh what is there if that situation comes I will face it.’ But when it comes you understand the weight of that situation, the gravity of the situation. All courage, valor, power of Arjuna is suddenly disappearing. He feels he did not plan for it.

There was a man who would regularly pray to God that he wins a lottery. One day he was abusing God ‘What is this? For so many years I am praying, praying, praying to you and I am doing all kinds of prayers, all forms of worship from pouring milk to the showing camphor, all the puja, all the homa. Why I am not winning a lottery?’ God was tired of hearing his abusal, just appeared and said ‘Fool why don’t you buy a lottery ticket at least for once?’ He was running his life without even planning.

Arjuna he is not able to face the situation he has invoked upon himself. The power of relationship, relationships are so strong. Arjuna is not able to handle it. I tell you, every relationship plays a certain role in your inner space; not just the people who brought you up or who spent time with you. Even ordinary person who gave you one meal, one piece of cloth, one day shelter; even they all play some role in your muscle memory. Somebody who gave you food one day, if he dies, at least one day your muscle memory will be shrunk, will not be live, active.

When you give just one meal or one piece of cloth or even one flower to the Master, the connection becomes so strong; especially if lot of feelings, emotions, sacred sentiments associated with that offering. Krishna says in the Gita patram pushpam phalam toyam; just one fruit, one flower or one leaf with sacred sentiments with sacred feelings is enough. Relationship with fire however small it is burns you completely. You can’t say ‘no, no only a small match stick was put on my cloth’. Even if it is a small match stick it burns you. Same way even if it is one small flower offered, it just makes your whole being alive.

In my experience I have seen many time when people bring something, I will see, see if there is lot of sacred sentiments, emotions, devotion associated to it; even the object I will see it as too big. Actually I eat only that emotions which is brought. I may not eat that whatever they brought physically but when I touch, I swallow their sacred sentiments. I enjoy the devotion with which they brought; whether it’s a…. some sweet or a flower or a cloth or just a paduka, anything, when I touch, I accept the emotion which is huge sitting on that object.

With every action, some form or other, relationship gets built in your life. If that relationship is with a normal man it kills you even when you are alive. If it is with enlightened being it keeps you alive even when you are dead.

Bhagavad Gita Depression: Your key to Enlightenment DATE: Day 9: Aug 30th 2011

Arjuna is depressed. Please understand all the souls, individual souls, are depressed. You can’t be anything other than being depressed till you achieve enlightenment. There are only two kinds of people on the planet earth; one enlightened second depressed; that’s all. There is no middle way, there is no in between.

So Arjuna is also depressed. Duryodhana also depressed. But see the beautiful difference. In Duryodhana’s depression - he feels inability, blames everybody. In Arjuna’s depression, even in his depression he doesn’t have any doubt about his efficiency and he does not blame anybody. He is only in need of little more clarity. Please understand Duryodhana’s depression is depression out of inertness and supported by ego. Arjuna’s depression is a depression from restlessness; needs only clarity and intelligence. Arjuna’s depression leads the individual soul towards the fulfillment. Duryodhana’s depression leads the individual soul into more and more, deeper and deeper bondages. That is why even though both of them are depressed, each one of them are given different solutions or each one of them go towards different solutions. There is no Duryodhana vishada yoga. No! There is only Arjuna vishada yoga.

I tell you if you are depressed it is not sin. Don’t worry. But analyze your depression; is it out of inertness or restlessness. Is the depression asking only clarity and intelligence or your very life? Arjuna’s depression is only hungry for clarity, knowledge, truth. Duryodhana’s depression is hungry for life. Duryodhana’s depression swallowed Duryodhana’s life itself. But Arjuna’s depression asked only just little clarity and intelligence and understanding.

If you just study the symptoms of Arjuna’s depression - limbs giving way, mouth parched, skin burning, hair standing on end, the bow and arrow slipping from the hands, unable to stand - these are the descriptions, clear descriptions of the Arjuna’s depression. If you see all the symptoms of Arjuna, medically if you analyze them – denial, fatigue and lack of energy, feeling isolated, these are the some of the medical symptoms. But I will give you the deeper study about depression.

Basically depression is conflict between your social conditioning and brain. Please understand your brain because it happened from the nature, the body it has its own rhythm, flow, life. But when your social conditioning opposes the flow of your nature beyond certain limit, the conflict which starts results in guilt and which leads to frustration and finally depression. Please understand if the social conditioning and your brain flow has only a small conflicts there won’t be much problem. If both of them literally fight, wage war, encounter each other, then starts the depression.

If you look, Arjuna’s depression and Duryodhana’s depression, both of them are confused. Both of them are not able to handle the naked reality. Both of them are not able to handle the side effect and after effect of the decisions they made. When they made the decision they made it only logically means thinking one dimension of it. But they did not make it based on the whole visualization. He is not able to hold the responsibility.

Let me give you one example how people make decisions, very logical decision. But when the reality happens, it happens something which was not imagined by their logic. Please understand when you make decision, when things happen, they are different.

Bhagavad Gita Freedom and Relationships DATE: Day 10: Aug 31st 2011

Now I will enter into the 36th verse; 1st chapter verse 36 nihatya dartharashtrannaha kaa pritisyath janardhana papamevaashrayeth asman hadvaitana palayinaha.

nihatya dartharashtrannaha kaa pritisyath janardhana papamevaashrayeth asman hadvaa yetaan aatatayinaha The translation says ‘What pleasure will we get by destroying the sons of Dhritarashtra Janardhana? Only sin will overcome us if we slay these wrongdoers.’

I am seeing the black box of Arjuna; layer by layer how the engrams are there in Arjuna and how he is suffering with those engrams. Please understand, when I read this Arjuna vishada yoga I am 100% sure Bhagavad Gita is the book for enlightenment because whatever he is talking, the Arjuna’s problem, each verse is one strong engram. Arjuna is caught with so many of these engrams. Krishna is here to destroy those engrams and liberate him and make him express the life in a liberated way.

See I am seeing very clearly. First he says swajanam swajanam swajanam... my people my people my people! Almost see this old widows sitting in village and crying ‘ohhh my son! My daughter! My father! My brother!’ The same mood Arjuna is saying swajanam swajanam means the parental conditioning, the first layer of engram. Then he comes…. all the teachings he learnt from the Drona, the conditioning of the acharya - means ordinary dos and don’ts. Please understand sometime ordinary dos and don’ts create s so much of conditionings.

When you see the layer by layer conditioning of Arjuna coming out in this first chapter, I can tell you very clearly this book is book for enlightenment. It is not written just to make Arjuna fight or just for Krishna to fulfill his goal of removing the load on the planet earth Bhoobhara. No. It is straight technique, process, method for enlightenment. First layer of conditioning – swajanam; and the most funny thing is, that conditioning ... see all these relatives, relationship, everything is created for you to live happily. But see the funny thing! Those people are actually going to kill him even then the conditioning has become so strong it is ready to go against the purpose for which it is created.

Bhagavad Gita Drop your baggage and be free DATE: Day 11: Sep1st 2011

Beautiful story in Bhagavatam; One rich man who does the ekadasi vrata, means he will fast on ekadasi and dwadasi he will call all the devotees and give them all good food and it’s a great, good act, punya. So Krishna appears one day in front of him and asks ‘My son, what do you want? You are doing so many wonderful work.’ Then that guy says ‘If you give me more and more wealth I will be happy to do this service in a big scale.’ Krishna blesses him and lot of diamonds, everything showers. And now you guys don’t even need to visualize how the gems shower and how the treasure showers!!

Anyhow, he showered. And next day another one devotee, one old lady who used to do small prayers but 24 hours she will be thinking and meditating on Krishna; living with Krishna practically. She had only one cow. So one day…. she will finishes her ekadasi vrata and whatever milk she gets she will make butter and call few devotees, Krishna’s devotees and share little, little with all of them and she will also eat. Krishna appears next day in front of her and does not even ask what do you want. He just eats the butter then disappears. That day the only cow she had died; the only cow which she had died.

Then naturally all the gopikas living around Krishna they asked ‘What is this? That guy is already rich and you went and showered more wealth on him and this lady has only one cow and you went and killed that cow and came back. What is this?’ Then he says ‘See that guy wants to live and he is ready to live with lot of engrams. No problem. So he asked for wealth I gave wealth and let him do good work and enjoy and finally exhaust all the engram; when he comes let him come to me for enlightenment. But this lady except this cow she doesn’t have any other engram. This cow is the only engram stopping her becoming enlightened, reaching me completely. So when I went and saw, I saw this is the only engram. So I took away that engram. Now she will reach me completely. She will achieve the parama pada the moksha or jivan mukti; the eternal abode of my feet. So sometime he gives, sometime he takes it away; but you can’t judge it from outside.

Arjuna goes on to teach right and wrong to Krishna. See if you see from outside you will feel what is this? For somebody he is showering for somebody he killed the cow, the only cow which she was having. So different reason; Krishna puts exactly his hand on the engram. You see this guy did not ask for enlightenment. But she is waiting for that only. So whatever you ask, for that he works. Here Arjuna naturally asks for enlightenment. So whatever engram he is having Krishna is first studying so that he can start working on it, removing it.

Yadyapi yete na pashyanti lopo pahata chetasaha kulakshaya krutam dosham mitra drohe cha patakam.

He is almost like child. Arjuna is behaving like a child. How can he talk about right and wrong to Krishna? And he says ‘Oh, oh, oh how can this be done? It is such a sin? Let us see now how he continues on the next verse expressing his depression and engrams. Let us do deeper psycho analysis on Arjuna.

Bhagavad Gita Secret of Stable Family DATE: Day 12: Sep 2nd 2011

Let’s enter into today’s satsang Bhagavad Gita 1st chapter 40th verse Arjuna vishada yoga. Kulakshaye pranashyanti kuladharma hasanatanaha dharme nashte kulam krutsnam adharmo apibavyuta.

With the destruction of dynasty the age old family traditions die and the virtue having been lost vice overtakes the entire race.

Arjuna is giving his predictions. Arjuna is giving his predictions to whom…. Krishna!!! That is the most funny thing. See if he is talking all this to anybody else, all of them will make meaning and Arjuna would have become author of Gita. Only thing, unfortunately Arjuna is talking all these things to Krishna. See all these things are amazing dharma. The logic with which he is putting the words with which he is putting…. unimaginable.

With the destruction of the dynasty the age old family traditions die and virtue having been lost vice overtakes the entire race.

Yes everybody will agree. Even I will agree completely with this as a promoter of stable family and joint family concept. I always feel with the stable family and joint families you have less suffering, less depression, more energy. But to be a stable family and a joint family you need so much of understanding and intelligence. Oh God! It’s almost like you need a group of enlightened beings. It’s a huge effort; especially joint family. It does so much for the inner growth.

I checked, tested, scanned all types of life styles. So from my research for a common man the best lifestyle will be joint families. Either blood related joint families like all brothers living together…… like Bharat we had this system. If the father has five sons… all the five sons even after the marriage will live as a large joint family; so this one type…. or ideological joint families. All of you feel connected vibrant with certain ideology certain concept and all of you gather and live together.

Bhagavad Gita Long live the Caste System! DATE: Day 13: Sep 3rd 2011

Today I will share some of the deeper insights on community system; 1st chapter 41st verse Arjuna vishada yoga.

When non righteous practices become common oh Krishna, the women of the family become corrupt and with the degradation of womanhood oh descendant of Vrishni ensures inter mixture of castes.

Whether you accept or not whether you understand or not this is the oldest living civilization. How much ever the… someone, some section of the western, perverted historians try to suppress the fact, the fact remains as fact and truth. We are the oldest living, continuously living civilization with 1000s of invaders. They come like a Dravidian movements sometime from outside sometime from inside. They come like a wave but they disappear. We have seen so many foolish movements but the civilization… the Indus civilization, the Saraswati civilization still stands.

There is a beautiful description in the….. some of the Sanskrit literature… when few kings attacked the Saraswati civilization in a very organized way with some extraordinary powers to drive the whole Saraswati so that the whole civilization dies, the story says Saraswati entered inside the earth and started appearing in different places and wherever she wanted the Saraswati civilization to be, she appeared in all those places.

Understand wherever you get bore well water it is Saraswati. All the civilizations which happened based on underground water are Saraswati civilization. It is a very symbolic saying means she has spread her civilization so wide, vast that she can’t be destroyed anymore.

Bhagavath Gita Uncover your Unconscious DATE: Day 14: Sep 4th 2011

The depression of Arjuna…. I can say he is almost screaming. So many verses he is screaming. But Krishna is completely silent. He is there…. he is there… he is there.

The first year of the marriage the man speaks and the woman listens.

The second year the woman speaks and the man listens.

The third year they both speak and the neighbors listen.

I think…. Arjuna is speaking but Arjuna is not seeing any reaction in Krishna’s face that Krishna is listening. I strongly believe Krishna is not listening to the words of Arjuna. He is only looking into the depths of Arjuna with deep sympathy to understand the root of the problem.

Please understand when you are agitated, confused, your words do not express your real problem. That is why when people come and tell me their problems, when they give me a long letters, more than reading their letter I will be looking into their eyes. I will read their problems by looking into their eyes not looking into their letter….. because you are habitual liars. Please understand all human beings have got into the system of becoming habitual liars.

Yesterday we were having sessions in Inner Awakening. When you are challenged, when you are cornered how you escape from situations….. I was studying each ones patterns how each one escapes…… listening to their stories-incidents. I discovered one thing. 99% of the people tell lies and manipulate the situation and escape when they are challenged and the remaining 1% told lies even to me when I asked them. When you are cornered, when you are challenged, you immediately get into the mode of telling lies to manipulate the situation, to exploit the situation and escape from the situation.

Understand more than the words of Arjuna, the eyes of the Arjuna can reveal the real problem to Krishna. More than the letters you bring, what you bring in your eyes will show your real problem to me. That’s the reason I look into the eyes. But people feel I am not attending to them if I read…. if I read their eyes and not read their letters. So I just glance the letters also once in a while. But I tell you, I don’t believe your letters. Because you have become habitual liar, not only you start lying to others, even you don’t realize you are lying. You have become such habitual liar it becomes part of you.

‘We hear that those who have lost family traditions dwell in hell for a indefinite period of time.’

Arjuna is crying. But he is not crying with a right logic. He is just using all broken logics, all broken ideas to justify his thoughts, justify his ideas. See it is too late. He should have thought about all these things and had a group discussion, round table meeting, dinner, brain storming everything at least two days before.

Too late!!

Bhagavath Gita Dharma is not Enlightenment DATE: Day 15: Sep 5th 2011

Story for you guys - a small story.

When NASA first started sending up astronauts they quickly discovered that ball point pens would not work in the zero gravity. To combat the problem NASA scientists spent a decade and 12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, under water, on almost any surface including glass and the temperatures ranging from below freezing - 300 degree Celsius. The Russians faced the same problem and they used pencil to write.

Your great grand parents would have discovered pencil who knows…. but if it is not handed over to you in a proper way as an understanding, as a rule, you may be spending again 12 billion and reinventing. To avoid reinvention all the understandings and discoveries of the inner world and a smooth life in the society is compiled and put together as Dharma. Please understand but sometime Dharma can be misunderstood, misinterpreted, misused, maybe out dated also.

Some of the rules which you think, gets outdated like train time table. You take the train time table of 2009 and go and stand in the platform waiting for the train. Somebody says no this train won’t come today. It is only scheduled for tomorrow. You say no, no, no in the time table it says; but you forget its last year’s time table. Of course in Bharat even if you have this year’s time table....you may not get the train!! That is different… ok.

Sometime Dharma becomes old time table, old schedule, old understanding. That is the reason incarnations land to upgrade the time table newly, to write new updated principles, to remove the interpolation and remove unnecessary things from whatever you understand as Dharma. Krishna is a smritikara, incarnation came down to create new smriti, new way of living. He came down to create new understanding about Dharma, new energy and new experience.

Life is for eternal expansion. That is why you are programmed with a basic instinct of expansion. The basic instinct you carry is of expansion. But in course of time in the understandings of Dharma, means making you live more happily, productively, joyfully, creatively in the society, some sadist fellows enter to manipulate and exploit. They insert some rules, some vidhi nisheda, dos and don’ts; just to keep human beings in suffering, sadness. Their sadism is sometime becoming part of so called Dharma. Again and again incarnations land on planet earth to remove these sadistic interpolations in dharmic way of living.

Small story; One guy goes to the doctor ‘have you taken my advice and slept with the window open?’

Patient says ‘yes’.

Doctor says ‘so your asthma disappeared completely?’

Patient says ‘No…. but my watch, TV, iPod and laptop have disappeared; not asthma.’

Understand sometime some rules do completely opposite of what is expected to happen. Dharma - the so called rules and regulations of society, when they get outdated, somebody need to happen to update them….. upgrade them. Please understand incarnation is a new edition of consciousness. Every time when an incarnation happens, the fight between Dharma and Moksha happens visibly. See the whole fight between Arjuna and Krishna is the fight between Dharma and Moksha. Whatever Arjuna says will almost sound like truth but not truth; understand something which sounds like truth, not truth.

Bhagavath Gita Expand beyond Pain DATE: Day 16: Sep 6th 2011

Today I will expand on Arjuna vishada yoga some more truths because the Arjuna’s depression is not just an ordinary individual’s depression. It’s almost like black box of an accident. See when an aircraft gets into an accident they retrieve the black box and study why, so that they can avoid future accidents, future mistakes. They can at least stop doing the same mistakes. Same way exactly I am doing black box analysis on Arjuna so that you don’t get into the same moods, same depression, same sufferings.

See Arjuna first expresses his engrams in a very serial way, very clear defined way. Sometime you may-may not catch it. But an intelligent person can exactly understand and identify at least one engram of Arjuna. If you read Arjuna vishada yoga, at least in one place you will feel ‘wow I am exactly in this position in this engram’. This is where I am caught. You can see very clearly first the engram of swajana. You need to understand the idea of swajana, my people.

Please understand life is too complicated. You are not even able to possess your own body. That is the reason different parts of your body is functioning in a different way and it is either leading you to some desires which you are not able to control or leading you to some disease which you are not able to handle. See if you want to restrict your diet and you are not able to, you are addicted to some thing; means you are not even able to possess your own body, control your own body. Same way you don’t want some disease but your body is attracting that disease again and again and making it express in itself...it means what??? You are not even having control over your body. You are not even able to possess your body. It’s happening. If you can’t even possess your own body why do you try to possess your son, your brother, your father, your mother; it is life. Each one tries to decide, tries to do something on their own.

See now what Arjuna’s relationships… relations are doing, what Arjuna’s swajana are doing, is not under Arjuna’s control. Whom he feel as his own people are coming directly to wage war on him. But this foolish guy still caught with the idea swajana and he constantly tries, tries, tries, no, no, no…. no, no, no…. my people…. my people. Understand falling for any weakness is sin. I tell you falling for any weakness is sin.

Life is expansion; whether it is societal conditioning or societal commitment or emotional imbalance or the strong engram; whatever may be the reason, falling for weakness is sin. Arjuna does not even know who is his swajana. He is just looking at the people who are standing opposite side of his army to fight with him, to kill him, who have taken the vow to kill him; and he says my brother in laws, father in laws, parents, grandparents!! If you see the funny description, he does not even know who is his swajana.

First thing, even if you know somebody is your swajana, your relation, you can’t possess. Life is too complicated. The moment child comes out of mother’s womb he declares his independence. He declares his freedom. The moment child stands on his own feet he doesn’t accept any economical or social support. He declares his freedom from the parents. Same way...... See that is the source of all relationships. Even in that relationship you can’t possess, you can’t do anything; then what about all other relationships. NO. You need to understand who is your relationship…. who is your relatives.

People who directly or indirectly contribute, encourage, help you to fulfill your life’s mission are your relatives. People who make you complete your life’s mission are your parents. People who carry on the mission you fulfilled in their life further even after you leave the body are your kids. Here Arjuna do not even know who is his relatives.

Bhagavad Gita The Cosmos is talking to You DATE: Day 17: Sep 7th 2011

Understand Gita is not just for the people who worship Krishna or who worship Shiva or who worship Arjuna or who worship Jesus or who worship Mohammed or who worship Buddha, or who worship only Mahavira. Gita is spoken by the cosmos through Krishna. So it is universal. Nobody can claim… it is given by the Universe to the human society; to the whole civilization. It is not personal property of anybody; not even the personal property of Hindus. Once it is delivered it is to the whole world.

That is why Vyasa is using the word Bhagavan. Krishna says, Bhagavan says, ‘how have you obtained this depression of mind which is dangerous, not worthy of being propitiated by a man of noble birth’. Please understand Bhagavan says not worthy of being propitiated, not worthy of being supported, encouraged by a man of noble birth. Please understand there are some qualities just because of your birth you should not entertain them, support them, encourage them; that which is not divine and that which will not lead to expansion.

Please understand Bhagavan is saying, he is starting with word ‘Oh pure one, Arjuna’. Please understand here Arjuna is in confusion, is in the level of the ordinary soul, but Bhagavan is the cosmos, the cosmic soul. When he addresses Arjuna he always raises Arjuna to his level. But when Arjuna is addressing the Bhagavan he is always bringing him down to his level. He is saying Vasudeva, Govinda, Janardhana, Madhusudana. When Arjuna looks at Krishna he looks at Krishna as his level. He is reducing him to an ordinary soul.

See all these words, names like a Madhava, Madhusudana, Keshava; all these words are connected to one incident. Madhusudana means oh destroyer of Madhu, demon Madhu. So Arjuna is trying to bring Krishna to his level. Krishna is trying to bring Arjuna to his level. It’s a eternal war still going on. It goes on and on and on and on and on. That is why when Bhagavan is addressing, he is saying ‘Oh pure one, oh pure one how have you obtained this depression of mind which is dangerous’.

I can say the whole Bhagavad Gita message is delivered in this one sutra. He is not talking at all about the war. He is saying, ‘how did you obtain?’ Please understand he is starting with the word ‘Oh pure one’ means he is saying you are pure by nature, you are unclutched by nature. How have you obtained, how did this depression of mind which is dangerous; he is using the first word – dangerous, has come on you; not worthy of being propitiated by a man of noble birth. By your very birth you can’t support this depression; that which is not divine. It is not divine and that which will not lead to expansion.

Understand life is for expansion. All the spiritual truths should go on expanding you, expanding you, expanding you. It is for expansion not for contraction. Life is for expansion. How have you obtained this depression of mind which is dangerous, not worthy of being propitiated by a man of noble birth; that which is not divine and that which will not lead to expansion.

I can say the essence of the whole Bhagavad Gita is over with this one sutra. Each word is filled with so much of meaning. Each word has so much of reason. He says ‘Oh pure one’. The moment he starts, uses the word ‘Arjuna, oh pure one’ please understand Krishna is also using so many names for Arjuna in Gita. Arjuna is using so many names for Krishna in Gita but Vyasa is using only one name that is Bhagavan; that’s it. Whenever he is addressing, whenever Vyasa is addressing, he is using only one word Bhagavan.

Bhagavad Gita Learn to flow with Life DATE: Day 18: Sep 8th 2011

Indulging in weakness is worse than death. That is why in Vedic tradition death is not described like a villain. Even Yama, only in the modern day cinemas he is described like a villain. Originally the very word Yama means set of understandings, flowing. Iyamaha means flowing - the regulations, the rule. The very word clearly describes iyama – rule, flowing. So it is indulgence in weakness which is a real villain in your life; not death. Indulgence is weakness is the worst thing that can happen to your consciousness.

First thing, the first word Krishna starts with ‘Stop! Abandon this indulgent weakness; stop indulging in weakness’; smagama - yielding for weakness. The very word Yama describes flow of life. Flow; understand every time when your kundalini is awakened, your body levitates, what you gain is a property for you; never gets lost never you lose it. Every time everyday it is getting added. Anything happens during business hours counts. When you are encouraging the spiritual happenings in you, it directly raises you towards expansion. Death is not destruction. But cherishing the weakness is destruction. The word Yama itself clearly gives you the understanding; flow, rule, word itself can give a meaning.

I was reading in a one liner mistress is the right word; for many people wife is a mistress; Miss for one hour stress for remaining 23 hours.

Krishna says abandon this indulgent weakness. Understand cherishing weakness, enjoying weakness is worse than any addiction. It is worse than any addiction like alcohol or the drugs. Alcohol and drugs can waste only your one life but indulging in weakness can destroy your whole span of living beyond lives and death. Addicted to drugs and alcohol can destroy you only in first spectrum means the physical layer, but addiction to the weakness, indulging in weakness can destroy you in the fifth layer - causal layer. So this will become a deep rooted cancer. Addiction to weakness, indulgence to weakness, indulging in weakness will make you lose the ability to enjoy life. Understand, the capacity to enjoy life is lost when you indulge in weakness. Indulgence in weakness makes you lose the capacity to live.

You can’t understand many time you can’t bear happiness. The recent studies on stress; I was reading a research paper work on stress. They call stress as two types’; one distress and another one eustress - E U stress. I was wondering ‘what is this eustress’. They call it good stress. Even while you are having some happy events, moments in your life, when something which you really wanted happens in your life, your body goes through certain stress. It’s called eustress.

You know, funny thing, your body does not know to discriminate between distress and eustress. For both it gets worn and torn. Both makes you age, both causes danger. So the only way to save yourself is capacity to adapt yourself to the changes, means just be a liquid.

Small story: Wife is in death bed. She asked the husband ‘I will die.’

Husband says ‘I will also die.’

Wife says ‘why will you die?’

Husband says ‘Because I don’t think I can bear that much happiness.’

Many time happiness also kills you. Your body can’t stand that much of happiness. It’s called good stress. They say good stress and bad stress and positive form of stress. But the body itself cannot physically discern between distress and eustress. Understand, then what is the way? The only way is learn to be a liquid, fluid. Learn to just understand the situation. Learn to adapt yourself to the situation. Try to look at the situation from the other side also. Otherwise being desperate will become lifestyle. Try to be always like a liquid. Wherever you are, JUST BE!

Marriage is like a public toilet; those waiting outside are desperate to get in, those inside are desperate to come out.

Your life is almost like marriage only. Your whole life is almost like marriage only. If you are out you want to get in, if you are in you want to get out; means unable to be a liquid – fluid - flowing. The essence of life is the attitude of being fluid.

Bhagavad Gita Addiction is just an escape from life DATE: Day 19: Sep 10th 2011

Smoking; first you start enjoying then that starts enjoying you. Life with addiction is such a abusive way of living. I tell you with the same pattern when you live life you are not living life. That pattern is swallowing your life. There are 1000s of people, I cay billions not even millions or…. 1000s and all is small number; billions of people on planet earth who are already dead but not yet buried.

guru-nahatvaahi mahaanubhaavaan shreyobhoktumbhaikshyamapeehaloke hatvaaarthakaamaanstuguroonihaiva

Arjuna is becoming more suicidal. He is uttering again and again the same thing. Please understand you will utter again and again same words only if you are not confident about the logic with which you are arguing. If you are not confident about the strength of the logic, you will go on be saying the same thing. Here Arjuna feels his argument has no strength and his logic has no strength, so he goes on repeating.

I can say even he is not able to understand his hypocrisy. Even he is not able to catch how the hypocrisy is eating his life. shreyo bhoktum. He says it is better to enjoy life–bhaikshyam– by begging. This guy things begging is that easy. You need to know the fellow who is with so much of ego can never be a beggar. And he thinks himself as too much.

See here the whole problem is he is afraid he will lose in the war. He may not be thinking he will get killed. But he feels if he loses the war and still lives, all the fellows will laugh at him. That’s too much. It is just the fear of losing; ego. I don’t think this fellow will be afraid to die because he is a kshtriya and his life is waging war. He will not be bothered to see his own blood. But he is bothered that he may not get killed but he will lose the war. Then how is he going to handle. That is too much; that is too much for Arjuna. That is why he just wants a graceful exit.

Understand life has no graceful exit. The moment you assume human body either you play till the end or you exit as coward there is no graceful exit. The graceful exit only exists in dictionary. In reality all exits are disgraceful. Understand do not try to exit from life. Life is an eternal expansion….. And you don’t need to! Not only do not you don’t need to. All method to exit from life is lowering the value of life. I tell you, any truth makes you understand the value of life expands your consciousness and it is a direct method for enlightenment.

Even a simple thing, if walking ten steps, is going to make you breathe more easily, understand it is method for enlightenment. If bending your body is going to make you live pain free, more comfortably within your body, understand it is a method for enlightenment. Anything which expands you is method for enlightenment, method for jivan mukti, the ultimate freedom, the ultimate realization.

Any method you try to exit from life is lower estimating, putting the life… under estimating the life. Don’t underestimate life. Underestimating life is a sin. All exit is a sin. If you under value under estimate your life then somewhere something wrong is happening. If you are… if your mind is undervaluing under estimating life, I am telling you, you are caught somewhere very seriously and it is sin. It is sin.

In this whole situation the way Arjuna is speaking, the amount of suicidal tendencies built in him…… and another one important thing you need to know…. when you are having depression or suicidal tendencies if you are verbalizing it again and again it will become a strong experience in you.

Understand in the higher spectrum of consciousness if you don’t verbalize, any happening in you will become experience. In the lower spectrum of consciousness if you verbalize it more and more it will become experience, depression. If you are again and again repeating I am depressed, I am depressed, I don’t know what to do; it will become an experience in you.

But enlightenment, if you are having first level of Samadhi, if you don’t verbalize even internally and just be a witness, you will be led to the next level of Samadhi. Even there you are not trying to verbalize it and do a package and hold, you are just witnessing, unclutched, then next level of Samadhi.

Understand, the Samadhi - the higher spectrum of conscious experiences happens in you more and more when you verbalize less and less. But the lower spectrum experiences like depression, suicidal tendencies, schizophrenia, these things happen in you more and more when you verbalize more and more.

Bhagavad Gita The joy of letting go DATE: Day 20: Sep 11th 2011

I can say it is the last bliss you can experience in the inner journey. After this no more bliss. I tell you even enlightenment is beyond bliss. There the idea bliss joy suffering all that disappears. You get into the different spectrum. Of course I am not saying it is boring. Enlightenment is not a boring spectrum but there is no bliss as such what you perceive. Even when I get into Samadhi there is no bliss for me inside. But the way the energy expresses you feel I am in bliss. But inside, the idea of even bliss does not exist. It is something which can’t be described; that’s it.

The last bliss the ultimate bliss the final bliss you experience is that space of being a disciple. I tell you enjoy now itself. Don’t miss it. You may lose it after enlightenment. And I tell you, you will really, really miss it even after enlightenment. I tell you just sitting simply and listening, readiness to listen. Understand it is not a joke; in billions of people on the planet earth, blessed are those who have the readiness to listen in their heart.

Please understand I am not even saying you should listen to me and all that. I am not even saying being my disciple; I am just saying being a disciple, being a receiver is a joy. Even if you are a disciple of an ordinary stone or a tree, it is ok. It’s a joy to be sitting and just melting; listening some words and missing some words, heart melting, eyes pouring, muscles melting like ice cream, the throat choking, has hair standing on the end, body losing its feeling of being possessed by ego.

See the joy of receptivity, the reception, receiving, when it is experienced in your bio memory, the body loses the feeling of being possessed. See all the time you feel your body is being possessed by ego, sitting and not feeling possessed by the ego. See when your ego possesses your body your whole body will be stressed, heavy. But when you really sit and melt the very idea of you being possessed by ego disappears, dissolves. I can say that is the most ultimate auspicious thing you can enjoy in the planet earth in your whole journey; because after this only enlightenment. That will not be a joy or bliss and you will be in a different spectrum where the enjoyment idea, concept disappears.

So understand if you sitting in front of the Master and feeling your whole muscles are melting like ice-cream and you don’t feel being possessed by your ego; that tension….. usually it will start from the naval till the throat like a being possessed by the ego. If you are relaxed from that and your foolish logic is not working, when that tight holding logic relaxes its declaration of power over your body….. see that ego constantly declares its power over your body, its power over you, your muscles. When you sit and melt at least for few hours, you melt like ice cream. That declaration of the power over your ego relaxes, disappears.

I tell you, if you experience that disciple-hood, the joy of being receptive, you are tasting the ultimate. Forget about all your desires; all your desires, anything else will be lower than this. Whether having Miss Universe as your mistress or largest palace as your house or having name and fame or the ultimate powers in your hand; everything will be less than the joy of being a disciple, being receptive, where your muscles are not feeling being possessed by your ego, where even inside your bone marrow you feel the sweetness, restful awareness, peace without feeling heavy, peace without brooding over on some worries, just being a disciple, just melting……

Bhagavad Gita So why are you suffering? DATE: Day 21: Sep 12th 2011

Let’s enter into today’s subject 8th verse in 2nd chapter of Bhagavad Gita - saankhya yoga

Na hi prapashyaamimamaa-panudyaad Yach-choka-mucchoshana-mindriyaanaam| Avaapyabhoomaa-vasapatna-mruddhamraajyamsuraanaamapichaadhi-patyam||2.8

Even if I gain a thriving kingdom that has no rival on this earth and even lordship over the Gods I surely do not see how that can destroy this deep anguish that is parching my sense organs.

Wow! First time Arjuna is talking intelligently. Understand, the moment you surrender the first thing happens to you, the moment you become disciple you find the right problem. Understand till now Arjuna was talking different, different problems. All are his engrams not real problems. The moment he said I am your disciple he is talking about real problem. I think the power of the engram over the Arjuna has mellowed down.

Please understand all these verses he uttered earlier, all these verses, in that he was talking ‘Oh how can kill my father, how can I kill my mother, how can I….. swajanam swajanam swajanam and what will happen to the pitroos, what will happen to the communities, what will happen to the rajyam, what will happen to the society, what will happen to humanity; all kinds of engram based ideas. The engrams which was put inside he is talking out of that, talking about that.

Please understand till you have, till you are experiencing the sufferings because of engram, you will not find the original suffering. I tell you original suffering is what is described very beautifully in some o the Christian saint’s life as dark night of the soul. The first step is finding the right problem. Here Arjuna finds right problem. He is not stuck with engram based problems. He is coming to the true problem. As long as you are suffering with engram based problems you cannot experience, catch the real problem. Understanding the real problem is what is described in Christian theology as dark night of the soul.

See there are some people, if they are in depression I won’t even care; because it is not real problem, it is engram based problem. If I care they will start building one more engram; ‘Oh if we suffer Swamiji will give attention’. It will become one more engram. No! I won’t even bother. But there are some problem, even if it is a… there is a small depression I will directly attend… if the depression is due to real problem what Arjuna is now going through. He is suddenly looking beyond.

‘Even if I gain this whole kingdom and lord of the Gods, Krishna, I don’t see the anguish parching my sense organs’. He realized the suffering has no reason. As long as you associate some reason for your suffering you are misguided; you are running in the wrong direction. You have not diagnosed yourself properly. When you understand there is no reason for suffering, suffering IS. Your existence is suffering; your Existence is suffering to express your existence to your Existence.

It is like you are suppressed inside you and the suppressed you is trying his best to break free from that suppression and express itself to you. Suffering is not due to some reason. All your effort to find some reasons for suffering is only you yourself trying to miss the real life. Suddenly Arjuna is realizing his sufferings are not due to any reason. Whether he wins or loses, even if he wins and gets control over all the worlds and Gods he feels, how is the anguish that is parching my sense organs are going to be healed. He realizes the original suffering.

When you start suffering and trying to identify some engrams, some reason for the suffering, if you did not find the reason you are blessed. Then you will realize suffering has no reason. It has no reason. It has no reason. Your existence is suffering. The cosmic Existence is suffering to express its existence through your existence. It’s like a child trying to come out of mother’s womb. The enlightenment is trying to come out of you.

When a mother who is delivering a baby tries to find any reason for her pain or suffering, if she feels ‘oh maybe I hit my hand yesterday that is why I am having suffering’.

Ok that can be reason for the pain you feel in your fingers. What about the reason for the pain you feel in your leg? Because when you are delivering a baby your whole body is going to experience that agony that anguish.

What about the pain you feel in your head?

Maybe you can say ‘No I was hitting my head so hard on the bed that is why I am feeling’.

Ok what about the pain you are feeling in your stomach?

Pain is reasonless, all over your existence, just like mother who is delivering, trying to diagnose her pain as a pain in the little finger or pain in the back or pain in the head or pain in the feet. Any reason she discovers for her pain any diagnosis she makes for her pain will be wrong diagnosis and misleading. Same way any reason you find for your anguish for your suffering will be misleading because just like baby is trying to deliver itself, come out of you, the cosmos is trying to deliver itself through you. Till you let that happen you are going to carry that anguish. That suffering is going to be there.

If you try to find any reason for your suffering you will take revenge on that reason. Taking revenge on the wrong reasons continuously is what I call punarapi maranam punarapi jananam; Birth and death and Birth and death and Birth and death. If you wrongly identify your husband as a reason for your anguish you will start taking revenge on him.

Somebody asked me ‘Swamiji why do so many women want same husband for next life also’.

I said ‘Maybe they don’t want to waste the time they took for training him’. The time they spent training him in one life why waste training period.

If you find your boss as a reason for your suffering, again and again you will take birth to take revenge on him. If you find your relationships as a reason for your suffering you will again and again take birth to take revenge on them. If you find human society as the reason for your suffering you will again and again take birth and become a terrorist to take revenge on them.

Incarnation is almost like a 10000 year soul; the soul which has an intelligence of 10000 year old. Please understand I’ll call a soul as a soul when it has become an independent awakening energy like a pratyagatma chaitanya jagrata. Now any incident happens in front of his life he collects only the lesson from that. When your experiences become reality, emotions become reality, without you taking wrong cognizance and wrong actions due to the wrong cognizance, you are already having pratyagatma chaitanya jagrata; the individual soul awakening; the inner awakening has happened.

I can tell you the whole Bhagavad Gita, Krishna does just this one job - removing the idea somebody is responsible for Arjuna’s sufferng from Arjuna and making Arjuna take right cognizance, stopping him taking the wrong cognizance. You see if Arjuna takes cognizance that somebody is responsible for his suffering like all the people - friends who are standing in front of him or the Krishna who is asking him to wage the war or blaming himself who has taken all the foolish vows in front of public - ‘I will kill all these fellows’ ‘I will kill Karna’ ‘I will do this’ ‘I will do that’. These are the vows Arjuna took in front of public. So either he has to keep up that vow or live in a defamed way. So naturally he will try to blame himself.

Please understand even blaming yourself is wrong cognizance. The whole Gita Krishna does only one job; telling Arjuna not to take wrong cognizance and letting Arjuna’s suffering remain as original suffering and evolve itself to its ananda gandha so that just action happens; it becomes reality without Arjuna taking wrong cognizance. When you stop taking cognizance of any particular reason for your suffering the maturity of the soul starts; the dark night of the soul starts.

The dark night of the soul should not be understood in a wrong way. Please understand it’s a tremendous depression filling your whole being but should not be taken in the wrong sense. It is like a delivery pain. Delivery pain should not be taken as inauspicious. It’s an auspicious experience; to bring one more life to planet earth. Same way the dark night of the soul is the auspicious expression to bring one more enlightened being to the planet earth. I can say the day you experience the dark night of the soul the maturity of the soul starts. The counter starts. Yes one day your soul is matured, two day your soul is matured; then you only receive lessons.

And I wanted to leave you all with this one truth today - stop taking wrong cognizance for your sufferings. Your existence is suffering till enlightenment; because the cosmic Existence is struggling through your existence to express its existence. So don’t take wrong cognizance. Your family is not responsible for your suffering; your friends are not responsible for your suffering; your enemies are not responsible for your suffering. Not even human society is responsible for your suffering. You are suffering because YOU ARE suffering. Cosmos is trying to express its existence through your existence. You are going through a delivery pain. Don’t curse the nurse, don’t curse your husband who made you pregnant, don’t curse the bed, don’t curse the hospital who is taking care of you and don’t take wrong cognizance.

Bhagavad Gita Are you Ageing or Growing DATE: Day 22: Sep 13th 2011

So let us enter into the next verse; 11th verse in 2nd chapter Sannkhya yoga.

Sri Bhagavaan Uvaacha ashochyaan-anvashochas-tvam prajnaa-vaadaams-cha bhaashase | gataasoon-agataasoons-cha naanushochanti panditaah II 2.11

Bhagavan said now Bhagavan starts Bhagavad Gita.

Krishna just gives one statement and the whole Bhagavad Gita is going to expand this statement; that’s it. He is saying you are grieving for those who are not to be grieved for. You are speaking words that are not fit to be uttered by the wise. The wise grieve neither for those whose life has departed not for those whose life has not departed. He straight away comes to the truth about the life and death. He says you are grieving for those who are not to be grieved for.

See, you should not understand these words in ordinary sense like you are grieving for your enemies who are ready to kill you. It’s an ordinary meaning. But if you see the next words Krishna is uttering I don’t mean…. I don’t... sorry I don’t see he means in ordinary sense. You are grieving for those who are not to be grieved for and you are speaking words that are not to be… not fit to be uttered by the wise. The wise grieve neither for those whose life has departed nor for whose life has not departed.

He is using a beautiful word ‘What do you mean by alive and dead?’ Let me define life. If your inner consciousness is awakened and goes on accumulating layers and layers of maturity, wisdom, by the rolling of time, it is life. Please understand, if your inner consciousness is not awakened, passing of the time adds layers and layers of engram in you; good or bad layers of engrams makes you tired and old.

Are you ageing or growing? There are two different things; ageing, growing. If you are unconsciously without any awareness hitting time any experience happens, is accident.

Bhagavad Gita Logic is not Truth DATE: Day 23: Sep 14th 2011

Today we will enter into the 12th verse of 2nd chapter Sannkhya yoga.

na tvevaaham jaatu naasam na tvam neme janaadhipaah | na caiva na bhavishyaamah sarve vayamatah param II 2.12

“The translation says there was not a time when in the past I did not exist nor was there a time when you and these kings did not exist. There will neither be a time when all of us would cease to exist after this war.”

Krishna is straight away giving the truth. Please understand; you need to understand the context of this verse uttered. Blessed are those who listen to the great words intimately. Please understand this is not an intellectual statement. Here the close friend with whom Krishna grew together, the close friend is standing in depression and ready to do whatever you say, putting his whole life at risk. It is such an intimate moment. Understand even ordinary man will not tell a lie in this situation…..Person like Krishna!

This is not a statement uttered by somebody sitting in a stage to somebody who may, may not listen. Gita loses its grace when you speak from the stage to unknown people. Blessed are those who sit with the intimacy of Arjuna with me now, sit with the feeling connection of Arjuna. You see Arjuna is, he is practically grew up together; both of them have grew up together, both of them are from the same Gurukul Santibani. Both of them are from same Gurukul; they grew up together.

I can say that it is an intimate moment; a situation of life and death. Not only Arjuna knows Krishna thoroughly they were classmates and glassmetes both. They were doing all good things together and naughty things together; too close…. that kind of a intimacy, personal connection. And he is in depression and he says you are my…. I am your disciple I will listen to you. Please instruct me. I am taken over by the suffering and confusion. Even ordinary people…. I can say even worst people will not talk…. not only they will not talk anything wrong; they will not waste time beating around the bush. They will not waste time beating around the bush at these kinds of moments.

I tell you unless I make you understand the context, the power of these words, you won’t understand. It’s like… somebody who lives with me for 50 years and takes care of me from morning till night, giving me food and taking care of my clothes and serving me. He knows my whole life. I don’t need to prove to him I am God. Naturally he also won’t serve me if he is not convinced; that kind of person…. is so close. You see unless you feel a strong feeling connection, unless that person also reciprocates that strong feeling connection, you can’t live with somebody for 50 years and all; after all its not a marriage. It’s a guru disciple relationship. There is no compulsion to live.

But somebody who lived like that with me, at the moment of death he holds my hand and asks…..when he is about to leave the body he is asking me ‘Swamiji give me one word which I can hold on and reach your feet when I leave the body’ will I have time to talk all nuisansical philosophy there? Will I have time to talk all nonsensical words there? It is such an intimate situation where I need to tell the truth exactly as it is.

When a truth gets marketed it becomes religion. When commercials are created and spread naturally it becomes religion. Sometime the worst part is when fanaticism is added it become even terrorism! I wanted all of you to know the truth as it is, is too simple. But to listen to that, to imbibe that, you need simple feeling connection. Arjuna is going to take whatever Krishna says in face value. Arjuna is trusting Krishna’s intelligence more than his logic. He just… he is desperate. He just wants the truth. Here Arjuna does not even want a logical support of all the statements Krishna is making. He just wants straight guidance…. instruction.

That is why Krishna beautifully opens up and says…. I tell you this statement can never be logically proved. This can only be realized in intimacy. This can never become realization in any of you by logical conviction. No. It can only become realization in all of you by the personal intimate feeling connection. Feeling connection is the ground where the seed becomes the tree; not the logic. Feeling connection is the ground where if the seeds are sown, seeds of the truth, it becomes the reality of experience, the tree of experience. Here Arjuna is having the tremendous feeling connection.

There were two enlightened masters in a small village. One achieved enlightenment through Advaita the monistic philosophy non dualistic philosophy. Other one achieved enlightenment through the Bhakti; so both of them were staying in the same village. Of course they did not have any big conflict but both of them will always be playing with each other trying to prove the greatness of the path they travelled.

So one day this first guy, the advaiti, he went and wrote in the temple wall in a big way SOHAM means I am that. This bhakta who is a….who achieved enlightenment through the dualistic path, he went and just added just one letter DA. It became DASOHAM. I am your servant. But these advaitis are always clever. Next day he went again and put the word SA in front of that SADA SOHAM; always I am that. Dvaitis may not be clever but they will always have that fanatic perseverance. They will not give up. They will have that tremendous patience. Again this fellow went and put one more DASADASOHAM. He put the word…he put the letter DA. Then it became DASADASOHAM. But naturally advaiti is not going to keep quiet. He went and put one more SA; SADA SADA SOHAM. It goes on and on and on.

But I tell you as knower of both joys, please understand I am not the knower of the both joys only in the ultimate space. See in the ultimate space both are one and the same; that is different. I am knower of both the joys from the A to Zee. Understand when you start as an advaiti and travel as an advaiti end as an advaiti, all the joys and sufferings you face; when you start as a dvaiti bhakta devotee, travel as a devotee and achieve the ultimate; in that journey also all the joys and pains you face, I have seen both completely from A to Zee. Understand from my experience I tell you nothing like the taste of DASOHAM. The receptive, being a receiver; nothing compared to the taste of that. See ultimately it is one. But when you are travelling the journey is so sweet with the mood of receiver.

In the tremendous feeling connection Krishna is uttering there was not a time when in the past I did not exist.

Bhagavad Gita Science of life and death DATE: Day 24: Sep 15th 2011

‘Just as the embodied one, goes through tenderness of boyhood, bloom of youthfulness and infirmity of old age in this body, in the same manner it takes on another body. The awakened one who knows this does not get perplexed by these changes.’

You don’t worry when your boyhood turns into youthfulness because you just know you are going to continue to exist. Then why do you worry when the old age turns into death and assuming another one body? Because you are afraid you may not continue. I tell you anybody with a simple logic can see how can life end with one body? Just to do this drama of hundred years I don’t think you need so many tools and weapons and instruments like a mind, intelligence, consciousness. No. The fear of discontinuity is only for those short sighted fools.

Please understand Krishna is not promoting any religious concept or philosophy. He is not teaching any theology. He is talking to his close friend who is in a big crisis. He is counseling his personal friend who is in a big crisis. He is naturally not only honest, too straight. Come on Arjuna, just as the consciousness goes through the tenderness of the boyhood and bloom of youthfulness and infirmity of old age in this body, in the same manner it takes another body.

The awakened one who knows this does not get perplexed. I am not able to add one word in this verse and delete one word. There are many other translations which there is very blindly. Oh just like a spirit passes through a childhood, youth and old age. No. The spirit does not pass through childhood old age and youth. It goes through the tenderness of boyhood, bloom of youthfulness and infirmity of old age. Please understand it goes through only the characters of boyhood, youthfulness and old age .The awakened one who knows this does not get perplexed by these changes.

If there is a philosophy in this verse I can expand and create a theology. Even there is one small unnecessary thing stretching I can create hanger and hang all my coat but here Krishna is so straight. I can’t hang any coat around it. I can’t add any stories, anything to it. It is straight truth. I want all of you to understand; drop all the fears you carry about the discontinuity whether the wealth, money you accumulated in the outer world or the wealth, all the great qualities you accumulated in the inner world does not get disconnected due to your death and next birth.

First thing, please understand there is a beautiful picture our research team has brought, may be from Isckon collection, the courtesy of Isckon. Please understand the sacred secrets from this great verse first thing you just move from one body to another body, just like how you move from boyhood to youth, from youth to old age, same way you just move from old age to death and death to again birth, next womb, next birth; and from birth again childhood then youth. You don’t loose anything. Understand this is a first thing. Second thing, may be you will believe this much I think I don’t loose my inner good qualities, the karma comes the mental pattern comes with me I know but what will happen to all the wealth I created. Don’t worry you take birth again in the same family, same type of family. I don’t want to say same family, same kind of family where the same amount of wealth is there.

So don’t think you will die as a billionaire and take birth roadside, live in slum. No. Neither the great qualities you accumulated in the inner world nor the wealth you accumulated in the outer world is lost by death. Understand same way if you accumulated tremendous laziness in the inner world and poverty which is the side effect of the laziness in the outer world even death cannot take that away from you. After death also that will continue to be with you. So if you want to transform your life do it when you are alive. That is why I am saying suicide is not the way to escape from any problem.

Just few days before one of our ashramite’s mother committed suicide. The ashramite ran to me and informed. This is what has happened Swamiji. Immediately I connected with that soul. The person who committed suicide also has seen… had my darshan. She was also devotee. When I connected, I saw she was crying to me profusely saying that I had a tremendous pain. I don’t know what to do; I thought I will escape from the pain and committed suicide. Now I understand the pain is thousand times more, thousand fold more. I told her arrey you have done NSP and how many times I have told you suicide is a sin. She is saying no in the peak of the pain I forgot everything. I jumped. Anyhow finally because devotee what to do. So, on my special quota I released. Of course each incarnation have their own special quota. They can veto and I released and said any how you have to take another birth but you will not hang without having the body. The ghost period I can discount it; but you have to have one more birth. No doubt about it. That nothing can be done. I pushed her into another one body. Anyhow she took another one body and now she is continuing her life.

And again I saw very clearly she is born with arthritis now. I could only do that much, like a hanging over period. See till her natural death time she will be hanging around without a body. That will be too strong punishment; too much. That period I reduced. She assumed a body. Already I saw she is having arthritis; means the whole body pain.

Please understand I am not telling you stories. I am revealing the sacred secrets to you. I am revealing the science of life and death to you. Gita should not be looked like a religious scripture belongs to a sect. Short sighted people, fanatic people think Gita is a sectarian book, belongs to one sect. No. Gita is the book of universal sciences. I can tell you at least one hundred important sciences necessary for you to live in this universe is described in Gita; at least one hundred sciences. I can give you some example now in this sutra the science of life and death.

Bhagavad Gita Death can never Touch You DATE: Day 25: Sep 16th 2011

I will continue on the same verse which I was expanding yesterday’s satsang; 13th verse 2nd chapter.

dehino’smin yathaa dehe kaumaaram yauvanam jaraa | tathaa dehaantara-praptihi dheeras- tatra na muhyathi II 2.13

This verse is the foundation of the thought trend evolved as Vedic tradition. Please understand maybe this Gita is uttered long after Vedic tradition evolved. But I tell you this truth is the basis for the whole Vedic tradition. Maybe all my words are uttered after the Vedic tradition is evolved but many of the words I am uttering forms the basis of the Vedic tradition. This statement of Bhagavan ‘just as the embodied one goes through tenderness of boyhood, bloom of youthfulness and infirmity of old age in this body, in the same manner he takes on another body’. The awakened one who knows this does not get perplexed.

All of you everyday becoming old; nobody wants to listen to this word. But the truth is truth. Every day you are aging. Even biology says everyday some parts of your body is disappearing and new parts are getting created. Once in 365 days your whole body is completely replaced every cell is replaced. Not even one cell remains as same after 365 days. But you don’t feel the suffering of discontinuity from childhood to youth and youth to old age.

Understand it is not only in the physical level, even in the psychological level you are not the same person who you were at the age of 25. You are not the same person who you were at the age of 7. Child is not youth, youth is not old man. Old man is not…. old man was not youth and youth was not a child. But you don’t feel the suffering of discontinuity. You don’t get perplexed by this change. Why…. because the percentage of change is negligible than the percentage of continuity.

What you feel as you, with what you identify as you, in that the percentage of change is lot less than the percentage of continuity. You feel you are body and mind. So in that the percentage of continuity is more stronger, the percentage of change very negligible. As I gave you the calculation yesterday it is only .0027%. If I take human life as 100 years, at least supposed to be, if I take as 100 years .0027% is the change you go through every day.

You need to know one important fact, even after your so called death for three months your hair and nail continues to grow. Your hair and nail continues to grow even after your so called death. That is why whenever the jeeva samadhis are created they have the habit till three months they will open again and again and shave it and cut the nail. When the masters leave the body, in jeeva Samadhi, means they just keep the body and the Samadhi is built all around, they don’t fill the Samadhi with any other material. Just body is kept; so the Samadhi is opened and cleaning the hair and cutting the nail is done for next three months.

Body is constantly changing mind is constantly changing. But you don’t get perplexed by the change because what you feel as you in that only .0027% change is happening. If you feel one hand is broken or one leg is broken you get perplexed because the change is too much now. It can be even 3% to 4%. See when you are having bigger changes you do get perplexed. So now the formula, the sutra, the truth, sacred secret you need to understand from this verse is - if you awaken your inner self, means if you understand with a simple understanding you are not just body mind, you are body mind and spirit also.

Many translators go on translating you are not the body you are the soul. I tell them no…. don’t do that mistake. You are body also… you are mind also. But when you realize you are consciousness also, you are atman also; the percentage of the body and the percentage of the mind becomes negligible.

It is like you have a vast space, when you shift your cognizance about yourself when you shift your understanding about yourself, when you perceive your higher existence, I tell you even the death and birth is like everyday night falling asleep, morning waking up. Even the birth and death is like sleeping in the night and morning waking up. Unfortunately human beings were so deluded, human beings are so ignorant and deluded now, even every night sleeping and morning waking up has become almost like a death and birth.

Gita is saying let your death itself become like a sleep and waking up. But ordinary ignorant mind is gone to the level even the everyday sleeping has become like a death. There are so many people who can’t even sleep. Understand; the cognizance you take about yourself is the root cause of all the joy and suffering you go through. Understand life is imprisonment you are caught nothing can be done about it. I am telling you the straight truth. The only thing we can do about it is unclutch and understand you are consciousness. You are trying for freedom with wrong understanding; change of place does not lead to freedom. Change of inner space leads to freedom.

Continuity is the law even if you die. There can be 1000s of realizations, freedom from 1000s of problems, the moment you understand the truth of continuity - nothing is going to discontinue everything continues to exist. To the detail of your experience if you have felt money plays a major role in your life - that will continue after your death. If you feel your spiritual struggle plays the major role in your life - that will continue after your death. If you feel your relationships are important experiences in your life - that will continue even after your death. You will be associated with the same group of people again in some way.

Till you realize the truth, till you experience the ultimate, till you liberate yourself continuity happens in all plains. Only when you have Inner Awakening, when your kundalini is awakened, when you realize, when you take the right cognizance about yourself, I tell you, if you…. the moment you take the right cognizance about yourself that you are body mind and spirit also immediately kundalini awakens in you and body starts levitating. Just this understanding is enough.

You can try; just try to remember in your inner space I am body mind and something more, maybe conscious or spirit or the energy which makes me function, suddenly the rush of energy. Even the understanding can give you the experience of levitation. Nothing else is required; just the understanding.

Bhagavad Gita Science to Decode Pain and Pleasure DATE: Day 26: Sep 17th 2011

Today I will start with the 14th verse 2nd chapter of Bhagavad Gita.

maatraa-sparshaastu kounteya sheetoshna-sukha-duhkhadaah | aagamaa-paayino’nityaah tans-titikshasva bhaaratha II 2.14

maatra sparshaha tu kaunteya sheeta ushna sukha dukhadaha agama apaayinaha anithyaha taan titikshasva bharata

‘Oh son of Kunti through the contact of the senses with the objects there results heat and cold which in turn give rise to pleasure and pain and these have a beginning and an end. Oh descendent of Bharata understand discrimination that they are impermanent and ignore them’…’Oh descendant of Bharata understand with discrimination that they are impermanent and ignore them.’

Verse after verse Krishna is throwing atomic bombs; the inner atomic bombs. If the samskaras are to be destroyed, the engrams have to be destroyed; these verses are the best inner atomic bombs. See it’s not a moral teaching; understand that is the main thing. And a person like Krishna does not believe in morality, understand that… He does not believe in the so called social moralities. And he has done everything antisocial and illegal. I am telling you everything which is antisocial when he existed illegal when he existed. When he was in the body whatever was antisocial and illegal he has done everything.

A girl asks... a small story... a girl asks a man will you love me after marriage also. The boy says that depends on your husband if he allows me. You are laughing. This is what Krishna has done. Radha is married. Do you know? Radha is married to somebody else. She was already married when these two fellows were having affair. Whatever is considered as immoral, antisocial, illegal, he has done everything. Man like him, if he speaks, understand it is a straight truth; not tainted or painted or coated or mixed with any of the social norms and rules and regulations.

Please understand just like immorality morality also equally contaminates spirituality. The mystery of the cosmos is equally contaminated by morality also just like immorality. Don’t think only an immoral person does not understand the mysteries of the universe, only he does not understand the truth of the cosmos. I tell you, many time the habitual morality also makes you miss the mysteries of the cosmos - the habitual morality. Just two days before I was explaining the habitual sacrifice. Habitual sacrifice is not sacrifice even though society praises it, enshrines it. It may be enshined sorry it may be enshrined but never gets enshined. All the things enshrined are not enshined.

When a person like Krishna, when a personality like Krishna speaks, he doesn’t care about any of the conditionings you imbibe in the being in the name of morality in your young age. In the name of morality what you imbibe, maybe it can be a good base for you to pull your life till you are in the body but that does not make you understand the mysteries of the cosmos, the higher spectrums of the consciousness. Don’t take this as moral teachings. Krishna is not Drona. Krishna is not even Bheeshma. Whatever is said and done till the end Bheeshma never became enlightened, never experienced the mystery of the cosmos. Only in the end he is liberated by Krishna. So a personality like Krishna does not get tainted by the conditioning of the society in the name of morality.

The biggest problem I have is the moment I repeat these words…. Krishna says ‘All the pain and pleasure are the objects coming in contact with the senses which results in heat and cold. All these have a beginning and end; oh Arjuna understand and ignore them’; immediately you will make a frame. Yes now I will not eat; I will renounce my gongura chutney. I will renounce my pleasure of touch. I will renounce my pleasure of seeing. Immediately you form some moral codes and make decisions. That is what neither Krishna wanted nor I wanted.

I want you to understand; please understand I want you to understand these words so deeply, it becomes your bio memory, so your cognizance is taken based on this understanding. That’s all I wanted. I am not asking you please stop your gongura chutney or stop your ice cream or drop your physical enjoyments or drop your desire to see something, drop your anxiety to taste something, drop your anxiety to hear something. No! I want you to understand the science of senses, science of getting embodied and disbodied. In this sutra Krishna is not telling how to live, he is telling how to be.

You see when some surgery need to be done for you, first your body is put on operation table and wherever you need to go through surgery, that part is opened. After opening, the doctors see what needs to be done and they alter, clear it, put inside; if you are fortunate they don’t put their scissors also inside and finally stitching is done. Same way; in the meditation process, just sit and open yourself completely.

See this whole NSP is just for you sitting and opening yourself. Come on let me see where all I have pus, where all I have blockage. What do I really feel about me? Where am I heading? Is my understanding about me and my life is growing or is this go on shrinking? If there is so much of corruption is going on in the accounts what naturally a CEO will do? He will stop all the transactions get everything, open, tear them to pieces and evolve the system, process. Same way, stop all the transaction for two three days, stop all the process inside you and relax and look in. Something seriously wrong….. Where am I heading? How am I going to survive?

Do not tolerate even one inch suffering, I tell you. Life is not for it. Have the attitude of constantly doing open heart surgery for yourself. Every manana session you go through is open heart surgery for you. Every time when you sit with some great truth…. analyze, work out. It is open heart surgery for you. If you are not ready to do that then get ready for post mortem. No other way, then post mortem is the only solution; postmortem maybe useful for the next generation. It will not be useful for you.

So don’t make any frame, rule, the moment you hear Krishna’s words. No. Sit and see; what is the root mental pattern for all my actions? Touch that root mental pattern. You may be having the mental pattern - whenever certain pleasure arises that is going to be eternal or whenever certain pain arises, suffering comes, depression comes, you feel it is going to be there forever. That is what is the wrong cognizance. Take Krishna’s words as a writ petition. Analyze, take the right cognizance, then start living. Krishna’s words are not law. If you take them as a law you will have a intrinsic hatred towards it.

Please understand Krishna is not giving any commandment. See ‘when the senses come in contact with the objects the heat and cold is experienced in a subtle way in the senses which in turn gives rise to the pleasure and pain. These have a beginning and an end.’ So today try to experiment. Completely become aware of your tongue. Take a piece of chocolate or candy - some sweet. Take a green chilly…. one side of the tongue touch the sweet, other side of the tongue touch the green chilly and see what is happening exactly; how the heat and cold is getting raised. Please understand don’t name them as pain and pleasure. See how the heat and cold is happening. What kind of change.

I am giving you one example. You can do it with anything; with anything. You can do with anything. Experiment with your body - how the heat and cold raises pleasure and pain, how when the heat turns into cold pleasure turns into pain or pain turns into pleasure when the cold turns into heat, how the pain turns into pleasure and pleasure turns to pain.

Understand unless you experiment on you, unless you experiment on you, you will not go to the depths of right understanding about pain and pleasure. Krishna is not giving these words for social morality. He is giving these words as a part of the teachings of mystery school, part of the teachings to the spiritual research; he is giving this as a hypothesis for the science of enlightenment. Life in every step should make human beings understand the mysteries of the cosmos.

Please understand your education should guide you to explore the mysteries of the universe not just the universe which you are seeing with your eyes; the source of the universe which you can only perceive by your sixth sense called intelligence. Your society, entertainment, law, education; everything should guide your life to explore and experience the universe and the consciousness.

Bhagavad Gita Open Yourself to Life DATE: Day 27: Sep 18th 2011

The existence of that which is unreal is not known and the non-existence of that which is existing, real, is also not known, the essential nature of these two is unknown only to the one who sees reality with the divine vision of intuition.

The nonexistent has no being. That which exists never ceases to exist. The truth about both is perceived by those who know the truth. See which can be destroyed can never exist, which exists can never be destroyed. Just know the truth and relax. I have nothing to comment. See if something can be destroyed it doesn’t exists even now because it’s already getting destroyed changing, changing, changing.

See if this building can be destroyed; please be very clear even now this does not exist. This may exist in lower spectrum but in the spectrum of the existence, this does not exist. The only job I need to do now is to make you understand the spectrum of the truth you are experiencing is not the spectrum of reality. Truth evolves, reality is just reality. When the truth gets added to you, slowly you evolve to the level of reality, ultimate reality. If this building can be demolished at some time or it can collapse by itself at some time, then it does not exist even now. If this body can disappear into the nature at some time, this does not exist even now. But the moment I say this all of you think oh! It’s a great truth, truth of advaita Vedanta. Ok. We will understand all this when we are about to die. When we are really giving up this body and what is the use of all this now.

I tell you, please understand Ramakrishna gives a very beautiful example. When the flood happens in the river you do not know the difference between a stone and the tree and the house; everything is covered. Same way when the flood of truth, reality happens in your life all the difference between pain, pleasure, suffering, joy, everything disappears. You live the life beyond karma. When the flood recedes, stone stick out, they stand. Same way when the knowledge comes down, when the reality comes down, your engrams stick out their neck.

I have seen in Bharatn villages morning the milkman will come with the milk can and he will measure and pour the milk. If you ask half a liter, they will measure the half a liter can and pour. They will have a small can and the tap below. They will open the tap and hold the half a liter can. Once it is about to overflow they will pour. These women, they will hold the big vessel below the tap because when it is overflowing naturally some 20-30 ml will overflow and these women also won’t keep quite. Unless it overflows on the vessel, they will say no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, pour. Sometime this milkman also, they know what to do and they pour little water and come and do lot of overflowing. Anyhow when it is overflowing they will tell seva, this is seva, this is seva as if they are doing a big service. Anyhow just like the milk overflowing is a seva, if the knowledge overflows in you, all your actions are seva.

Understand when you understand the truth oh God! Whatever is not going to exist is not existing even now. Whatever can be demolished even now it doesn’t exist. Whatever exists can never be destroyed. When you understand this truth may be for half an hour you will feel oh God! How many times I unnecessarily suffered for the things, which is not going to exist. How much I’ve tortured myself. You may feel a big relief. Based on the ability to feel connect with these truth; if you are able to click with these truth you may feel the relief even for some 10-20 days. If you are only able to click intellectually at least for 2-3 days you can feel the relief.

See the ability to click with the truth and continue to experience the truth, continue to take cognizance based on the truth is what I call feeling connection. Bhakti is the ability to convert jnana into lifestyle; vairagya. Bhakti is the ability to convert jnana into vairagya. Feeling connection is the capacity to convert the wisdom into lifestyle.

If you feel connected with this great truth may be for next few hours or few days you will feel elated. Wow! What a truth. Then why did I torture myself? Why did I suffer for so many unnecessary things, unnecessary reason? When you are having that overflowing mood that overflowing feeling ‘Oh God! What a tremendous relief!’ in that overflowing mood, in that overflowing feeling, any action you do is seva. Understand any action done with the overflowing mood of knowledge, enlightenment is seva.

In Karnataka lingayat tradition there is a beautiful saying, "kayakavey kailasa". Work is Kailash. When you work out of the overflowing of knowledge; let me define this overflowing with knowledge. Sometime when you suddenly click with some great understanding you will not even feel like walking, you will feel like a dancing and jumping. Wow, yes! This is what, is the truth. I was struggling so much just for this? I should not forget this. You may even pen down here there, put a poster in your bedroom. After 10 days the same line will not click so much in your heart. That is a big problem. Something which clicks with you and awakens your inspiration makes you feel overflow. Feeling of overflow, experience of overflow, experience of you feeling lot of energy and space, time available to you but you have finished whatever you need to be finished.

Please understand, when you really feel the right clicks with the spiritual truths this is what will happen. Whatever you feel as ambition of your life you will feel it is all done. Either it is all completed or they will all feel meaningless to you; but now you have so much of energy, time, life; everything in front of you.

I felt this at the age of 12 when I had my enlightenment experience. I felt oh God all my ambitions are over then now! I have such a huge life in front of me and bubbling energy, understanding, knowledge, ability to do whatever I want. All this is there but nothing to achieve.

At this mood, at this point, with this mood any action you do is service; even killing somebody. Please understand, of course I am not promoting killing somebody. All I am saying is the ambitionless inner space, the understanding which has elevated you from all doing and having, the being which is elevated to the level beyond all doing and having; anything that being does or has is seva. Anything he has belongs to universe; anything he does is expression of Universe.

Understand when you achieve the state of nothing to achieve, nothing more to be done only then the real aparigraha, real astheya, non-possessive and non-stealing happens to you. Till you achieve the feeling ‘I have done everything’ even if you don’t own, psychologically you will be possessing others property. It is stealing. It is stheya. Psychologically you will be adding too many things to you. Adding things to you can be elated….. you can get elated by adding things to you. It is parigraha, possessing. Real aparigraha - non possessiveness or asteya - non stealing is experienced by you only when you feel everything is done.

Ambitious mind is sick. Only the mind which ambitions are broken by the knowledge either by fulfillment or by realizing the futility; realizing the futility or realizing fulfillment at some way the knowledge makes your being understand the space of non-doing, space of restful awareness. Only then non possessiveness–aparigraha, non stealing–asteya, starts in you. Till then these two are only words.

Bhagavad Gita Drop everything but Your Self! DATE: Day 28: Sep 19th 2011

Experience that by which this whole is pervaded is indestructible. Nothing whatsoever can bring about the ruin of that which is imperishable. Please understand teacher is the one who adds more words to the scriptures and makes you understand. Master is a person who adds intense experience to those words and makes you experience.

I am not interested in adding any words to this Gita, this verse. See I don’t want to just pick up the word. Ahhh here is the word avinaashi and go on talking about that word avinaashi for ten hours. No. I am not interested in it. That is a teacher’s job. The real Master’s job is, in what context in what situation this word has become reality for Arjuna, I want you to experience that same situation and these words should become experience to you.

I tell you the real non violence happens only when you lose all your personal ambition. All your personal ambitions you should either understand it is futility or realize the fulfillment. Only when your personal ambitions are nullified, only when you feel you have nothing more to achieve, nothing further to move, you are in complete restful awareness. Even your bio memory does not get kindled by anything. Anything seen heard imagined, seen heard and imagined; when all these three does not agitate perturb awaken your bio memory the space you rest only that space can teach you what is non violence.

As I said only a man whose ambitions are fulfilled will be in astheya - non stealing; only he can understand non possessiveness - aparigraha; only he can understand non violence -ahimsa. All of you need to understand this great truth. Never, never you can achieve non violence unless you experience the overflowing of your being. See the overflowing of your being can be done by many ways. One realizing the futility of your ambitions which makes you more and more empty, realization of futility of your ambitions; another one way realizing the fulfillment of all your ambitions.

When you feel fulfilled, when you feel….. experience of feeling that life is too much for you…. not in a wrong sense like a load. No. Experiencing so much is in front of you and you don’t know what to do with it; with that experience with that mood anything you do is seva. I am trying my best to describe this in words because I went through this. When I first realized I am imperishable, you see please understand usually first time when your bio memory realizes it is imperishable it’s almost like a fluke only it happens.

It’s like little gold but lot of waste is all mixed and boiling is happening. So first the gold part will melt but still all the unnecessary things dust and dirt will be there. But this melted gold will take care and burn all the other dust material. I am telling you exactly as it happened in me. At the age of 12 when this concept I am indestructible and imperishable, when it clicked with me, it happened like a accident only. To tell you honestly like a fluke only it happened. And it’s not that 100% of me is established in that. See 100% of me is convinced about it but not established in that. When my bio memory was convinced about that truth then I started ironing out my life, thinking, action, based on the truth I realized.

Please understand one part of me experienced this truth like a click, a fluke; that I am indestructible, all pervading, imperishable. You see that all pervading brings all the other two understanding. When I had this understanding one part of me it became experience; that’s what I call gold part of me. But there was other parts for which this truth has become a conviction. I got convinced but still all those bio memory was getting boiled, getting cleansed. I tell you even that cleaning time is such a sweet experience.

In Shiva purana there is a beautiful story called Udal. Udal means the Devi know her whole life is Shiva’s but even then she tries to get the attention of Shiva by small, small fights. She just tries to fight with Shiva to get his attention. At least with Krishna I can imagine he will give you attention if you fight in a small, small way and he is that kind of a guy who is interested in keeping all the relationships alive. So he will bend for you; even if you fight he will say ok, ok. Don’t worry no, no, no, no, no. I did not mean that I meant this. He will give different interpretation for his words and all these things, pacifying everything and go on. Shivaaaaa - ’eh get lost!’ Either you are here or you are not here get out; that’s it. She tries to have this small, small fight.

I can describe exactly the same way - I felt my individual identity has already realized it lost its base. It can no more claim any insecurity arguments it presents in front of me for any of my actions. It cannot present any argument about greed or fear to me and justify its independent existence. Please understand your individual consciousness, what you think as you, it gives all types of justification for its individual existence. If you remove all those justifications it loses its base and simply dissolves into the cosmos.

My individual identity has already realized it has no argument to justify its independent existence. So the basic connection has happened. But still it wants to get little.... it’s like you know you have to do this work but you just want to get attention from Swamiji.... ‘ehhhhh can you tell me how to do?’ This all with work with Krishna not with Shiva; he just says get out and get lost. Either you do it on your own or nothing can be done. I tell you if you want the further purification of your bio memory, these great clicks to settle down in you, the only way is living/leaving it.

Actually Krishna gives a solid truth and experience in Saankhya yoga itself. After this it took at least few hours for Arjuna to completely get convinced and start fighting. I can say this Saankhya yoga is like a first experience. If Krishna kept quiet, in half an hour Arjuna would have burnt all his bio memory and stood up and fought. After this Saankhya yoga Krishna did not speak at all. But Krishna is a type of guy who will always try to no no no, no no no, no no no. That is why he is attending all the attention need questions of Arjuna.

I tell you honestly, after Saankhya yoga - this second chapter, nothing to speak. If I have to describe the scene, Arjuna was in terrible depression. He is not even able to raise his head and Krishna putting his hand on the Arjuna’s shoulders, lifting his chin with the other hand teaches Saankhya yoga. The moment Saankhya yoga is over Arjuna, wow! The extraordinary light has happened in his eyes and he is ready. But he just does not want to accept the victory of Krishna.

See if Arjuna come out just like that in depression…from depression and says ‘wow come on lets fight’, now its victory for Krishna. That is too much. He heard everything and whole thing is clear. But now he just covers the light in his eyes; takes the edge of Krishna’s cloth…. ‘No Krishna whatever you are saying seems right but you are telling something about bhakti na what is that? When you spoke about yoga you said yogi is the best guy and you say do bhakti to me. What is all about this?’

Fool! Here we are talking about fight. It is all about waging war. After the Saankhya yoga it is all about the melted golden part of you; means the…. It’s like you have your individual identity standing with 100 logic away from the cosmic truth and almost 80 logic has lost its base and you have fallen into the cosmic truth; but that remaining 20 legs it can’t help you to stand but it can help you to fight. The whole problem for a spiritual seeker is that 20 legs. Now anyhow it’s like a…..

Visualize this. There is a huge pot where gold is getting melted. There is another one small pot in which the gold is there. Because of this heat that pot gold also is getting melted. That pot has a 100 leg. When this gold has melted 80 legs have fallen and that pot has fallen into this means that gold has become part of this partially. But that gold is trying to use that remaining 20 legs as the hands to swim and jump… go out. This 20% is the real suffering. But I can tell you from my experience that 20% has its own sweetness also. It’s like love fights. And you simply know nothing can be done. You are already done but you have the small fight. You always love to have that small fight. Overflowing…. feeling life is a too big blessing is what Krishna is trying to make Arjuna understand.

See I tell you one more thing; even if you don’t realize that consciousness is imperishable, you are imperishable. I wanted to break an important truth. Even if you don’t become enlightened, if you don’t realize you are imperishable, you are going to dissolve into that only. It is like…. gold when it is put into mercury it will melt. There is a huge mercury pot which is a cosmic intelligence, cosmos. Two gold coins are there. One gold coin feels it knows the truth - the moment it falls into the mercury it will dissolve into the mercury it will become one with the mercury. This coin only is enlightened gold. And this other gold it does not understand any of this and it feels deeply insecured…. ‘If I fall into this mercury what will happen? I will disappear into this. I will die and my identity will be lost.’ This is unenlightened gold coin.

Whether enlightened gold coin or unenlightened gold coin both are going to disappear into mercury. I tell you then only one utility value for enlightenment is when you are away from mercury you can be with joy or suffering; that’s all.

Bhagavad Gita Life is a Psychodrama! DATE: Day 29: Sep 20th 2011

He who considers the one to be the killer and he who considers the one to be the killed, both do not comprehend that the one does not kill nor is it destroyed.

Very beautifully Ramana Maharishi says: The man who thinks ‘I am sanyasi’ can never be sanyasi. The man who does not think I am sanyasi or grihastha or anything, even if he is in householder life married life he is beyond sanyasi; he is more than a sanyasi.

The person who thinks I am sanyasi can never be a sanyasi; that word is enough to make him a householder. The man who does not even feel he is a sanyasi or a grihasta he is the real sanyasi. That’s what exactly Krishna means here.

Arey understand the very idea you are a killer or one going to be killed, both are lies. Somebody imagines they are killers so they go on feeling that they are killing. Somebody imagines they will be killed and they will always experience being killed. It is just your simple decision. See in your life many time you will see…. take this verse as a technique not as a teaching…. technique.

When you are in upper hand in some situations of your life see how you feel/behave. When you are suppressed somebody else is in upper hand just see how your mind behaves. It is just your identification; when you feel somebody else having the upper hand you expect sympathy, when you are in upper hand you are not ready to show sympathy. You say what can be done; this is the way everything is. I am not saying change your way of working or thinking or attitude; No!

See Krishna is not saying change your way; because he is not asking Arjuna to run away from the war field. No! See after all now Arjuna is in the upper hand. He is not saying run away without killing, showing sympathy, no. He is saying understand this whole thing is a psychodrama; at one time you will be in lower mood at one time you will be in the upper hand. It is just flow of life. This is the way it is flowing. The self which is the source neither kills nor gets killed. He is just saying realize that you are beyond both; just realize you are beyond both.

ya enam vetti hantarm yas caiman manyate hatam |

Please understand just like the other day I was giving you a technique to decode pleasure and pain into heat and cold, now I am giving you a powerful process to decode ahankara mamakara. Ahankara is the one always makes you feel you are in the upper hand. mamakara is the one always makes you feel you are suppressed. Please understand you feeling you are on upper hand, you are in the higher position or you are in lower position has nothing to do with outer incident. Like you feeling pain or pleasure has nothing to do with outer incident outer happening. It is something to do with the heat or the cold you feel inside and the software with which you are functioning inside. It is just your coding.

If you are asked to do yoga, you feel all kinds of pain and suffering. But if you are climbing the hill on your own, trekking, that is much more difficult than this yoga, but you feel all pleasure; wow what a great thing. Pleasure and pain are nothing to do with the outer happenings. It has something to do with the way you are coded and the experience of heat and the cold. Same way feeling you are killed or you are killer, you are powerful or weak, you are going to destroy or going to be destroyed, is just something to do with your ahankara and mamakara.

Please understand you feeling you are powerful or you are the killer or you feeling you are weak and you are killed/you will be killed; this both has nothing to do with the outer situation. It has something to do with whether you are caught with ahankara or mamakara. If you are caught with mamakra even if you are killing everybody you will feel you are weak and some…. any moment you may be killed. Same way ahankara also - feeling that you are a killer; your whole army is killed still these fellows are feeling that they will be the killer - like Duryodhana. His whole army was killed. Even the last moment he is shouting eh eh eh. There are some Duryodhanas even when they are sinking they will say eh you are killed you are killed you are killed. This is just a psycho drama.

Understand just like how pain and pleasure has nothing to do with the objects coming in contact with your senses, it has more to do with your software programming - the coding with which you are functioning. Same way, feeling you are killing, you are a killer or getting killed both have nothing to do with the outer situation. It has something to do with your coding; the software with which you are programmed. Decode.

In your life many time when you are crushed by your boss you will feel you are being killed. Just code how you are feeling at that moment. Don’t try to respond to the outer world situation, I am not teaching you that. I am teaching you, how you are feeling…… try to decode. What is exactly your feeling? Same way when you are in the upper hand, your subordinate has done some big mistake and you caught it exactly and he tried to hide from you and you caught him red handed. Now you are in upper hand you are in mood of a killer. Just see how you are functioning, find the pattern of your functioning; the coding the software the programming with which you are functioning.

Understand both the patterns….. you will realize you are beyond both these patterns. That is what Krishna means in this verse. The sacred secret in this verse is you are neither the pattern of the killer nor the pattern of the killed. Both are just patterns. Step back from the patterns. Step back from the patterns. If you are trying to break or justify ‘the killer’ pattern with the philosophy it is not going to work. If you are trying to justify ‘being killed’ pattern with some philosophy it is not going to work. If you are trying to break the pattern of a killer - any logic it won’t work. If you try to break the pattern of the killed with any logic it won’t work; just step back.

A small story:

An eccentric philosophy professor gave a question in final exam. The whole class was seated ready to go when the professor picked up his chair plopped it on desk and wrote on the board - Use everything you have learnt in this semester, prove that this chair does not exist philosophically. And the argument started left and right, fingers flew, erasers erased, notebook were filled in furious fashion. Some students wrote fifty pages in two hours attempting to refute the existence of the chair in all possible way. One member of the class was up and finished in less than a minute. He just answered in just less than a minute.

One week later when the grades were posted, the rest of the group wondered how did this fellow who wrote the answer in one minute got ‘A’ grade. He had barely written anything at all. They all questioned the professor ‘how can you give ‘A’ grade for him?’ The professor said his answer was just two words – ‘What Chair?’ That’s all. Understand by philosophical argument you cannot break the pattern.

If you start philosophical argument over this sutra and say wah what do you mean you are neither killed nor a killer? Can I kill you now then? Then everybody can kill anybody. Then Krishna is promoting a violent immatured or ‘might is right’ kind of a culture or what. Anybody can kill anybody. Neither you are killed nor you are a killer. What is this? It’s almost like giving license to killing. It’s like a barbarous civilization.

Please understand no philosophical argument can make you understand this verse. This verse is not for creating any philosophical argument or theology. It’s a technique. Even Hindu gurus have struggled a lot to decode this sutra, this verse.

Bhagavad Gita It’s all in the Game! DATE: Day 30: Sep 21st 2011

Please understand there is a part of you which goes on changing. For example; at the age of 7 who were you; you are not the same at the age of 20, you are not the same at the age of 50. The part which is changing is continuously dying. You don’t need to worry about that. The part which does not change will never die. It is there forever. It is going to be there forever. Please understand the part which changes and part which does not change. You assume yourself as mixture of both. You assume yourself as mixture of both.

na jayate mriyate va kadacin nayam bhutva bhavita van a bhuyah | Ajo nityah sasvato yam purano na hanyate hanyanmane sarire ||

There is part of you which never dies and that is real you. But you have freedom to associate yourself with the part which dies also and suffer; no problem.

See there is some utility for you, immediate utility for you when you associate yourself with the part which changes. Life looks more colorful. You can taste rasogulla, you can taste green chili, you can have little fight; you can have little so called love. You can play with all these games. I tell you, I am telling you exactly sacred secret from my experience whether a taste or a sound or smell or seeing or touching; exactly this is what I feel arey it’s just a joy, play. You also entered into this play only like a casual choice. It is not that you are interested in getting bound and suffering with these 5 senses and being tortured, no! How I am playing that is the way you started; you just forgot it is the play you started in between the play, nothing else. I am still remembering aey arey I started; if it is not there ok go… next.

My association with the perishable part of me is casual, non serious, not a committed relationship, a casual flow. In your life it is so unfortunate. It is really, really, really unfortunate, your relationship with your perishable parts, that perishable dimension has become serious commitment. Let me be very honest. When I had the fracture in the hand, all I did just only one thing, aey if it can be perished, if it can be destroyed, it can never be useful for me because my mission is to be with something which can’t be destroyed, to awaken that something which can’t be destroyed in everybody. So for that only this whole play. So naturally if something is going to be destroyed, that is not going to be useful for me. Forget about it.

And I saw there was no suffering because of something which can be destroyed. I am not saying, in one hour immediately body got healed. No. of course it got healed in 50% of time. Doctors expected and they said usually this kind of fracture takes at least 6 months but within 3 months it got healed. That is different but all I am trying to tell you even that healing is not a main effect I wanted to share with you. I wanted to share with you one thing, that perishable cannot bring suffering for you. Don’t take your relationship with perishable objects as a serious commitment. It is not committed relationship. It is a casual.

Again and again you forget there is some part of you which does not perish. Any action you do, any decision you make based on this understanding, the part of me is non perishable is tapas. The more and more tapas, more and more expansion of your existence, more and more you are expanding this great truth like it is not killed when the body is killed. Understand when Krishna says aey you don’t get killed, there was never a time I never existed or you never existed, there will never be a time both of us are not going to be existing. Keep quiet and fight. Means what? He is directly giving you the initiation. Even if you don’t realize that now, you don’t worry. I am doing what needs to be done. Go ahead.

He is initiating, giving assurance. See I just know all your suffering that you have not become enlightened also is useless. All your suffering because of your non enlightenment, please understand there is a two thing. Because you are not enlightened out of your ignorance, you do some foolish things. Only those things are dangerous but if you have the intense yearning and suffering that you are not enlightened that is useless, that is not a big thing, that is no need for that; just one assurance from a master can remove that. Krishna is first removing that suffering. Aey even if you think you are not enlightened don’t bother. When this whole body is useless for you, all the engrams which are obstructing you from enlightenment, they will also become useless. That time I can just take all these things out and give you the enlightenment.

You need to know the context and this fellow, this Krishna has kidnapped a girl for Arjuna and got her married to Arjuna and Arjuna has done all possible things to get girls for Krishna. This kind of a relationship and these 2 fellows know each other thoroughly and I don’t think Krishna will have any doubt that Arjuna is a womanizer. Of course naturally Arjuna can never have any doubt. This word womanizer may be hurting us but the truth is truth. We have to tell that. And both the fellows are this close and suddenly one friend is telling the other friend aey “ na jayate mriyate va kadacin nayam bhutva bhavita va na bhuyah” and even when your body gets killed the atman does not get killed. Don’t worry. arey to utter this word to your friend who knows completely all about you, it needs kind of a certain sacred platform.

I think Krishna got the confidence that there is a sacred platform by the Arjuna's devotion and dedication. The way Arjuna is listening. Otherwise Arjuna would have told directly Krishna aey I know what all cunning play you do in your life and how many fellows you cheated in how many ways and don’t play with all these games with me. It’s my life and death question. Leave me baba I am running. Arjuna could have done that because Arjuna knows all the things Krishna does and Arjuna could have told Krishna aey you yourself ran away from the war when you felt you can’t handle. Actually Krishna ran away once. That’s why he is called Rannchor. He ran away from the war. In Gujarat there is temple especially for that Krishna who ran away from the war.

So Arjuna could have told aey don’t play all this game. Don’t talk all these big, big things. I know when you ran away. He knows but beyond all the actions of Krishna certain click has happened for Arjuna with Krishna. I tell you the unbroken Guru Bhakti can happen only when you start looking at me beyond all my actions. Please understand I do not do any action. Now I am saying I am not talking to you; if it clicks with you your devotion can never be shaken. None of my action can be understood by you because I am not acting. I have no action.

See action needs certain components - will, ambition, energy and execution. Whatever you see as action in me, 99% of those components are missing. Then how will you call this as an action? All the components for action is missing. It is so unfortunate that people impose their ambition and reason and logic behind their actions to my actions which does not have all that. Only when you click with the Master beyond His actions you are safe forever. Fortunately that click has happened for Arjuna. I tell you to live with a disciple with whom that click has happened is a heaven for an incarnation.

Incarnation decide to live on planet earth for a longer period when they see at least few disciples for whom the click has happened beyond the action of an incarnation. Understand if you realize, if you understand my actions do not have the ambition, reason, logic which you usually have it when you do the same action is not there in my action, when this clicks with you, your devotion becomes unshakable.

Bhagavad Gita Power of Initiation DATE: Day 31: Sep 22nd 2011

I can say this is the most sweetest space to exist for Arjuna and for Krishna; because here both these fellows…. one is telling kill, the other is going to do the killing; and this fellow is saying ‘how can the eternal one will be cause for killing’. Arey you are telling him to kill and he is going to kill and you are saying ‘how can the eternal one be the cause of killing?’ I can say very clearly the highest spectrum of the Existence – atma - soul is touching the lowest spectrum of the practicality - physical action.

Please understand the highest spectrum of soul - the Existence - consciousness without losing its purity, without losing its formula of existence… see neither killing nor getting killed is the way of existence for consciousness. But that ultimate truth, without losing its ingredients…. see the consciousness has many ingredients - many kalyana gunas – the auspicious qualities. In that one quality is neither getting killed nor being a cause for killing means achala - unmoving - not being cause or the effect of anything which is happening. So that pure spectrum of Existence, that pure presence landing in human action without losing its grace and the formula of existence.

Let me try to give you some example like a man who is really, really rich; the richest man without removing any of his suit costly dress and the diamond rings and watches with full make up… full… fully dressed coming down to the sewage and cleaning it without losing his grace, but cleaning the sewage. Understand his highest spectrum of Existence without removing any of his paraphernalia or his qualities expressing his grace and wealth coming down and cleaning the lowest dirtiest place.

Krishna without losing his way of existence, his components of existence, his formula of existence, he is bringing his pure presence into the lowest action. Lowest action on the planet earth is killing somebody; the panchama patakas. Killing is the first sin worst sin the lowest action; especially killing your teacher – acharya; forget about guru, Acharya. Acharya droha itself is considered to be the…one of the worst killings. He is bringing the purest form of Existence to the lowest level of action. Please understand, through this, only action is getting purified. Presence is not becoming dirty. There is a big difference.

Sometime the richest man comes with all his jewels watch and everything, gets into the drain – drainage; he becomes dirty and goes out. He does not clean the drainage. So that is totally different. Then you should say drainage made richest man dirty; not that rich man made drainage clean. So here Arjuna tried his best to make Krishna dirty when Arjuna gave all his dharmic logical arguments. How can we live after killing these fellows? Come on let us become a sadhu and beg and eat. If Krishna says yes, yes oh Arjuna you are such a great dharmic person. I forgot all the things I learnt from Santibani because I was all the time remembering about gopikas. Anyhow you reminded me and now I learnt the lesson. come on now let’s turn the chariot and go back. Then you can say drainage has dirtied rich man. But now it is not the case; the pure Presence without compromising its existence, its anantha kalyana gunas - auspicious qualities, landing to the lowest action and purifying it.

I tell you beautiful incident from Ramakrishna’s life; one guy who is addicted to alcohol, extremely addicted can’t live without it. His body will start shivering if he doesn’t drink. One drunkard who can’t stand without drinking, he goes to Ramakrishna and says Bhagavan ... one great thing Ramakrishna was respected as an incarnation even while he was in the body. Very rarely few people I know who have been respected at least by their disciples as incarnation; Swami Narayan, Ramakrishna, Ramana Maharishi. Not the whole society accepted; whole society can never accept. Whole world can never accept. If that happens then satya yuga will come and what will happen to kali yuga.

Anyhow this… this guy goes and begs ‘Bhagavan please somehow liberate me. I am a sinner caught in this drinking unable to escape’. Ramakrishna says ‘All right, from tomorrow before drinking, take the bottle pour little in your hand and offer it to Mother Kali. Do the offering then drink the bottle.’ This fellow got little confused and he says ‘What do you mean? You mean to say I will be I will stop drinking, I will not be able to drink just by this act? That’s all is the solution, something great then. You are the best master for me’. That fellow one side can’t believe it can help. The other side he thought such a simple solution! Great! Come on let us enjoy then! But after two days that guy comes and falls at the feet of Ramakrishna and cries ‘Bhagavan I am not able to drink I don’t know what you have done.’

One of the main things human beings do not know is power of initiation. When a Master puts certain words into you, when those words start working in you, you do not know what all is going to happen in you. I can say the one liner for initiation is ‘Expect the unexpected’. Expect the most unexpected is the one line introduction for initiation.

Somebody goes to Sharada Devi. That guy is a womanizer. Womanizer very dirty guy; not only mentally even physically, perverted guy. Sharada Devi was very beautiful lady. If you see her first photograph it is taken at the age of fortys, after Ramakrishna passed away, left the body... but you won’t feel she is forty. You will see very clearly because in that extraordinary sensitivity and grace. She puts her head down in shyness in shy feeling. She will look less than 25. She looked just like Rajeshwari Devi. The moment this fellow enters her room Sharada feels uncomfortable and just covers herself. Then this fellow understood that his eyes are not proper, the way he looks is not proper. That’s why mother is covering herself. He just falls at the feet and asks ‘ma free me from this lustful eyes and my womanizing habit. Sharada Devi had a betel leaf next to her. She takes one leaf and puts it at her feet…. the right thumb she puts that leaf and just takes that leaf and gives it to him and says eat this.

The reminiscence says… that guy writes the reminiscence after 22 years of this incident. He says ‘I forgot whether I am a male or female from that betel leaf; over. Forget about womanizing, I did not go near even my wife. I stopped even going near my wife. I don’t know what has happened to me. He writes after 22 years ‘now when I am writing the incident only I even remember 22 long years passed without having women in my life. He says two night is the maximum gap; but now 22 years ….just one betel leaf!’

Understand the power of initiation. Whenever you receive certain words don’t come to conclusion without living these words, practicing these words. If that guy thought ‘ehh ordinary betel leaf, that also she put her feet on it, dirty betel leaf. How can that clean the dirt in my mind?’ Then you can be sitting for your whole life. And at least this is a betel leaf. Ramakrishna’s solution just a word hmmm pour it in your hand offer it to Kali and again pour it and pour inside over. Oh Ma Kali Oh Ma kali oh Ma Kali and drink; over. What is this? What kind of solution? But power of initiation!!

When the highest Existence lands to the lowest action, the lowest action is purified. I promise Arjuna did not kill anybody in the war. Krishna did not cause killing in the war. Because such pure presence!!!

Bhagavad Gita Death is just like a change of clothes! DATE: Day 32: Sep 23rd 2011

Let us enter into today’s satsang. I will speak on 2nd chapter 22nd verse in Bhagavad Gita chapter title Saankhya yoga.

vasamsi jirnani yatha vihaya navani grhnati naro parani tatha sarirani vihaya jirnany anyani samyati navani dehi || 2.22

As a man discards the old dwelling place that is ruined and moved into new one likewise the embodied one discards the old dwelling place - this body and moves on to new dwelling place - another body. As I said Krishna is enjoying the sincerity of Arjuna and Arjuna is literally drinking Krishna. See in the Gita stotra it says that Gita is the essence of all the Upanishads. It’s like a Upanishads… see Vedas are cow, Upanishads are the milk and Gita is the butter. You don’t need to get a cow and take care and you don’t need to milk and then put little curd in it and make curd, then churn it and get butter out of it. NO. Bhagawan does all the job. You just eat.

Arjuna must have been in ecstasy. I tell you unless disciple is in ecstasy these highest words cannot be uttered by a Master continuously. See for last few verses continuously Bhagawan is speaking the pure truth without mixing. When the disciple is not in ecstasy you may be able to tell one word, one verse; not more than that. Only when the disciple is in ecstasy, receptive mood, joy, joy of learning more and more, joy of imbibing more and more, joy of getting fulfilled; only then Master can go on talking these extraordinary truths these extraordinary teachings.

First time an example has been used. Understand Krishna is using an example means he is in a casual mood. He is very relaxed. He is more in the mode of restful awareness than a tensed teacher who is supposed to impart certain syllabus. Please understand with syllabus there will not be similes and examples. Only when you are free to transmit the knowledge the examples and similes and stories and jokes go on pouring out of you. Without stories, jokes, examples, it will be almost like atheism - nonprofit organization. Theism is nonprofit organization atheism is nonprofit organization. Just to talk bluntly you don’t need a profit only to talk intelligent, to transmit the restful awareness, to transmit the truth, you need a profit, you need an incarnation, you need a great Master, Jagadguru like Mahadeva Bhagawan Krishna.

He says as a man discards the old dwelling place that is ruined and moves into a new one likewise the embodied one discards the old dwelling place - this body and moves to a new dwelling place - another body. What an explanation! God! I tell you exactly you feel, after death there is only one suffering. You will suffer ‘oh god it is such a simple thing! Why did I suffer my whole life thinking that this will be a suffering?’ That will be the only suffering. You would have taken many decisions thinking your death is a suffering. Because of that fear you wouldn’t have lived many things. That will be the only suffering you will have when you leave the body. When you leave the body - ‘oh god such a simple thing! Tchhe! Missed my whole life thinking that this will be a huge suffering!

It’s like a…. you know there was a huge treasury in a cave and but you have been misinformed that entering the cave will be highly dangerous. You may bleed unto death and all that. But suddenly somehow by mistake you are lost in the forest and you walk this way that way and finally you cross a thorny bush get scratched all over the body but small wound not dangerous not like death; or huge thorny bush and here and there your body is scratched and you will have a little bleeding and but you reach that cave. What will you think...Oh god only this few thorns... what a foolish idea I was in. I thought I will literally die if I reach this cave. But now I realize it’s only just few thorns nothing more, nothing else!

It is such a big difficulty only in mind. I tell you when you cross death you will have this exact wound. Now you have too many ideas misconceptions. You are misguided death is huge happening in your life. You have been misguided marriage is the huge happening and you know it after 16 days how you have been misguided. Same way you are misguided death is a big happening. Within 16 seconds of your death you will know O God such a simple thing why was I given such a wrong ideas and concepts and misleading misguiding informations?

Understand you are searching for a secret treasure. Two close friends, one who knows the secret is telling the other one and you over hear it. How you will use it? Use exactly in that same tune tone this truth. This one understanding from Bhagawan is enough to liberate you.

Bhagavad Gita Five levels of Learning DATE: Day 33: Sep 24th 2011

nainam chindanti sastrani nainam dahati pavakah | na caiman kledayanty apo na sosayati marutah || 2.23

If you just see through the verses….. see we are divided of five layers- Annamaya, Pranamaya , Manomaya, Vignanamaya, Anandamaya. Let me describe in English. Annamaya means the physical layer; Pranamaya is the air movement in you, prana movement, the life air, life energy, life breath movement in you - that is Pranamaya; Manomaya- words, thoughts in you; Vijnanamaya - the emotion, the intelligence, the Buddhi which makes decision that is Vignanmaya. Anandamaya is the pure bliss, joy.

All teachings need to happen to Manomaya, Vignanamaya, Anandamaya. Then automatically they will heal, express themself through Pranamaya and Annamaya. Please understand all teachings have to be given to your mind and the higher frequency mind that is what I will call as Vignanmaya. Even the word emotion is small word. What you believe as you that is Vignanmaya, kind of a mixture of pure consciousness and mixture of some of the ideas you have about your lower self, these two put together only you will have certain idea about you. The idea you carry about you can be considered as Vignanamaya. Anandmaya is the pure you. Not the idea you carry about you, the pure you.

All teachings has to be given to your mind and it has to penetrate to the level of what you think as you and finally reach what IS you. That what IS you, that area the bliss layer, that is where the explosion happens. Once the explosion happens there, the pure consciousness fills all the five, all the five layers. Any philosophy will be successful philosophy only when it can penetrate all the three, your mind, your concept about you and finally you and only if it can explode in the space YOU, Anandamaya, bliss layer, that can become a successful established philosia, guiding humanity towards the higher Existence, higher self, higher realizations.

Unfortunately many religions did not allow this complete penetration and explosion and expression. See after the explosion in Anandamaya, the expression, that is what comes down to the physical layer and life breath layer; that is what is celebrations, festivals and rituals. All rituals are consciousness expressing in physical layer, all celebrations are consciousness expressing in life breath layer, pranic layer. Any religion or philosophy does not have the possibility for all these five. Penetration into mind layer, into what do you think as Self that layer and into the Self itself and that explosion which happens in the Self should express itself in life breath and physical layer.

All religions, all philosophies, all successful ideologies, all successful theologies, all successful spiritual concepts should be able to do this penetration of 5 layers. Only then it can become an established spiritual tradition. Fortunately the Vedic tradition allowed this five layer penetration again and again and again. That is why when every Master happens he creates so much material it can be considered as a independent intelligent religion. The Vedic tradition has not just given the techniques to penetrate this five layer, they have given the pattern itself. Any Master can pick up the pattern, add his experience to the pattern, it will become reality and what he teaches will become a independently intelligent tradition. It can lead people from the lowest level to the highest level independently without the help of support of direct indirect assistance of any other tradition from the same religion itself.

First he started using concepts to break Arjuna's mental layer, mind. Then he is entering into the Arjuna's space, what Arjuna thinks as Self. Then he is entering into the Arjuna's Self itself, filling Arjuna, filling Arjuna's Self. Awakening, enriching, enlightening, inspiring ultimately exploding in Arjuna's Self; What Arjuna experiences as himself. See when something goes to that level, then naturally it explodes and expresses throughout all the five layers as a action.

Whatever expresses as a overflowing from the Self will always be worshipped. When Arjuna takes a bow and puts the arrow and kills Bhishma, he is worshipping. When Arjuna kills Drona, he is paying guru dakshina. Please understand, the action happening out of explosion of enlightened energy cannot be judged, looked upon, understood, interpreted, commented by an ordinary mind. If an ordinary mind tries to do anything with enlightened action, it will miss it and mess it.

Bhagavad Gita Say NO to Suffering DATE: Day 34: Sep 25th 2011

Krishna enters into the next spectrum. He says the self is said to be unmanifest, unthinkable, unchangeable; knowing this to be such you should not grieve. He is giving a practical instruction. Do not suffer nanysocitum arhasi . Please understand you may say yes we know soul is beyond joy, beyond pain, beyond suffering. I understand. But I will not have pleasure, I will not have joy, why should I not suffer. Please understand always all the highest philosophies can be connected completely the opposite way it should be connected. I can say this should be the statement for all of you. Take this as a direct message from Bhagavan. Don’t grieve for anything.

I tell you, you don’t need to do anything else in your life. You don’t need yoga, you don’t need meditation, you don’t need pranayama, you don’t need kriya, you don’t need devotion, you don’t need anything; just take this one vow ‘I will not suffer’; that’s all. Do not allow any suffering in you; physical mental psychological emotional. Don’t allow any suffering whenever a suffering is forced on you. For example physical pain - look into it and don’t allow that idea ‘pain’ settling in you. Please understand all your ambition, action; everything starts when you accept life is pain, which is not, which is not the truth.

I tell you nothing else is required in your life not only to achieve enlightenment…. you see you don’t need to do anything in your life if you want enlightenment, health, billion dollar; not million…. billion…. billion dollar and beautiful relationships, everything, all the auspicious things you aspire, all the auspicious things you think you need in your life, I give you. See please understand when I say something I will be really, really practical. If you get into a coal mine or the place where they keep the charcoal bags, if you go in and come out naturally the black dust will be on your body. Same way, just decide this one truth ‘I will not suffer’ that’s all. Enlightenment will sit on you like a dust. I tell you enlightenment is nothing more than a small dust for a person who has decided nanysocitum arhasi. Don’t grieve even if it is based on foolish logic.

See sometime people don’t grieve just because of the foolish logic. They say ‘ahhh its ok this is not there that is not there ok there is no suffering’. Even if it is from wrong logic, if you hold on to the understanding ‘I will not grieve any more’ I tell you, you will fall into the right logic because with wrong logic you cannot deny suffering for quite a long time. After few years at some point you have to come to the right logic if you want to hold on to that one truth ‘no suffering’. Don’t grieve for anything.

One small story about wrong logic; Young man completed his medical school, went back to home a small town to work with his father. Father also is a doctor. They went out the first day to make house calls. As they went in the first house the father said ‘now you watch me so you will know that… know what to do’. Both went inside. Inside a woman was in the bed and she looked terrible. The old doctor checked her out; he was making notes when he dropped his pen to the floor. He picked it up and told the woman she need to quit cleaning and working so hard in her house. She just needed rest. When they got outside the son asked how he knew that she was cleaning too much. The old doctor said that when he dropped his pen on the floor it was so clean that there was not a speck of dust anywhere.

When they arrived at the next house the father told his son now it is your turn go and examine the patient. Son learnt the lesson. He is now ready. He goes. At this house also the woman was in bed looking terrible. The young doctor took her blood pressure, pulse, asked few questions and made some notes and again his pen also dropped. He reached down to pick it up. After he got up he told the woman you are doing too much of church work. Too much of religion is the reason for your problem. Anyhow he told her keep away from religion. Both the doctors went out. In the car the old doctor asked the son 'how do you know that too much of religion is her problem?’ The young man said ‘well when I bent down to pick up my pen I saw the preacher under the bed’!!

Understand whether right logic or wrong logic if you decide ‘no suffering’; just decide clearly ‘no suffering’. Fanatically decide no suffering. I tell you even a moment of your breathing time is not worthy of suffering. Suffering is too small. Every moment you experience you are alive is too costly to be spent on ordinary suffering. Basically sat - the truth - the Existence is chit - consciousness and ananda. Sat and chit and ananda does not get separated, please understand. Existence, consciousness, bliss; all three of them never get separated. If you are suffering, those moments of your suffering you do not exist. Your life is blackout. That time is the time you go through the black out.

People ask me sometime ‘how can I stop suffering Swamiji. I am not able to logically understand I should be joyful’. Arey, with wrong logic when you can suffer so much why can’t you enjoy with wrong logic? Many time your suffering has no support but you continue to suffer. Many time you even understand logically it is wrong but you developed a pattern even if it is logically wrong you continue to suffer. Even if it is logically right you don’t want to enjoy, you don’t want to be in joy. The bliss, joy adds vibrancy to your life.

I tell you not suffering is the ultimate spiritual practice. If you can hold on to that one even enlightenment will be just a dust at your feet. How when you walk dust gathers around your feet the enlightenment will gather at your feet. I tell you the greatest way to have enlightenment is it should be offered at your feet; not that you will stand with a begging bowl for a long time and it will be dropped in your bowl. No. If it is dropped in your bowl anytime it can be taken away. You can lose it. You grow to the level where you don’t care about enlightenment. It is just a side effect of the dust rising while you walk.

Understand the spectrum where the enlightenment happens, the spectrum where the sadhana spiritual practices are happening, no way connected. It is like a all the frogs gather together and decide they wanted to migrate to some other country. They all realized how to go to some other country. They realized the only way is to catch a flight and get into the flight and reach to other country. So, all of them are planning how to catch a flight. One intelligent frog with a long beard says ehh have you not seen every day morning the flight goes over our forest. Tomorrow let us all stop the flight and get into the flight and go to the other country.

Next day they try to stop that flight. They all gather and shout, shout, shout. No. Pilot never heard. Then third day they all put a huge loud speaker and started shouting ‘ehhhh we are all here, we are all your passengers, please take us to the next country’. Pilot did not stop. Third day they decided we will do a strike. We will stop the flight on the sky. They all gathered all the threads they can and put all the threads together, tried to create a huge ladder. With so much of effort the whole country struggled. All the big, big frogs tried their best to bring all big, big threads ropes. Some of the frogs even built the body to build this structure. After 10 years of hard work they created huge rope bridge which is seven feet tall and aircraft is going in 70000 feet height; that’s all.

Can ever these frogs create a ladder and do a strike and stop the aircraft? No. All their effort to stop the aircraft and getting the attention of the pilot is useless. At sometime you don’t know the reason, suddenly pilot wanted to land in that forest for some reason. Even if pilot wants he cannot land completely. He can lower to certain level and drop a rope and tell the frogs come one by one. That is the maximum thing even pilot can do.

That is what it does when he almost comes down and drops the rope. The rope is called incarnation and asks the frogs ‘come on one by one get in’. I tell you there is no other way. All your efforts are just useless.

Bhagavad Gita Are you afraid of Change? DATE: Day 35: Sep 28th 2011

Life is for internalizing the newer and newer and greater and greater truths. Krishna says even if you are not able to internalize the great truths like soul is eternal, it is indestructible and all these things, come on, even if you believe that birth and death are inevitable for this being, what you think as you, even then you don’t need to worry, because it is going to happen whether you worry it or not.

You don’t worry for day and night. You don’t sit and cry ‘ohhhh now it is going to become night, what will I do’. You don’t sit and cry ‘ohhh it is going to become day time, what will I do’. No. Once you know something is inevitable and moves like a cycle and eternal you just learn to live with it, learn to handle it. Same way ‘when you know life and death are inevitable, oh Arjuna, foremost among men’; he is using the beautiful word for Arjuna mahabaaho - the mighty armed one. ‘It is not worthy of being mourned for this manner’. You don’t need to worry about it. He is using a very powerful name for Arjuna ‘mighty armed one’.

Means…. You see the arms; the hands are directly related to giving. That is why when they describe Karna and Sri Ramachandra Prabhu they describe their hands first. Even Sri Rama, supposed to be a great giver...Ramakrishna used to do…. whenever somebody comes to him and asks for sannyas he will hold their hand and see. Hand is supposed to look big weigh light. That is the scale. It should not look small and weigh heavy. He will say that only by holding the hand and weighing it, if it looks big and weighs light then this guy will become sadhu; means he has less engram and he has capacity to give away everything.

Here Krishna is describing Arjuna as mahabaaho - means mighty armed. Surely Arjuna must have had the quality - big hand but light weight; means the capacity to give everything; capacity to give away. He is reminding Arjuna ‘ehhh you are capable of giving away your body, giving away everything. So don’t worry. You are a great giver. I tell you, the joy of giving; the habit of giving will bring its result in you when you leave the body. When you leave the body, person who is always giving, giving, who is habituated to depart from something which he feels as part of his life, if you are habituated for that, the leaving the body will be very easy.

For example you are having a house. For ten years you lived in it. You felt it’s almost your life. Suddenly one day morning you give it away. Now you are habituated to give away things which you feel as your life. Same way money; sometimes you hold money as your life. Suddenly one day you give away. Same way sometime you hold your comforts, luxury, pleasures as part of your life. Suddenly one day you give it away. Now you are habituated, you are trained for giving away what you feel as your life. So when you leave the body also because of that habit you will not have suffering. You are already habituated to give away. You can easily give away life also, body also.

I tell you the highest capacity you need to develop in the human life is capacity to give away, capacity to go on giving; giving your energy, giving your time, giving your love, giving your money, giving your…… whatever you call it as yours…..talent, capacity to give away

atha caiman nitya-jatam nityam va manyase mrtam | Tathapi tvam maha-baho

Every time when Krishna describes certain truths he reminds Arjuna exactly that truth related name. He says mahabaaho - mighty armed one who gave away everything; who is habitual giver.

Nobody can give like Krishna but he himself calls Arjuna as mahabaaho just to remind Arjuna he is a habitual giver. You are habituated for giving away. Don’t worry, don’t be bothered; be a giver. For a giver, life and death is not a big thing. He says even if you believe that birth and death are inevitable for this being, even then it is not worthy of being mourned for in this manner. He says even if you believe birth and death are inevitable so why are you worried? It’s a routine; relax.

Bhagavad Gita Don’t Believe, Just Experience! DATE: Day 36: Sep 29th 2011

What is your belief? Belief is nothing but the words and ideas and truths put inside you. Whom you believe will not harm you. When some ideas, beliefs have been put inside you by your parents or friends or relatives whom you trust will not think bad for you, will do only good for you, those ideas are only becoming belief in you. That is why friendliness plays such a major component in teaching. But unfortunately after certain level friendliness cannot help in teaching. Please understand to make you comfortable in the same spectrum you are living is different, raising you completely to the different spectrum is different.

When you need to be risen, when you need to be raised completely to the different spectrum, the ideas which got into your system which was given to you by the deep friendliness by your friends or relatives or family will not be sufficient. Understand because they themselves, they may not think bad for you but what they think as a good itself has its own limitations. They cannot think even in the line of good, auspiciousness, right, beyond certain level.

If a beggar thinks all good should happen to you, what he will imagine? You should have enough food and a house to rest, nobody should ask you work. For a beggar this is ultimate, over! He is not going to think let you become enlightened. You go to a temple, you come out and on the way there is a beggar, you give him some 100 Rupees and suddenly he shocked by 100 Rupee because nobody gives him more than 1 Rupee and he sees 100 Rupee and this guy immediately want to give his gratitude to you. He blesses, let you have all good things. So what do you think he will be visualizing in the mind? Plates and plates of food and a comfortable house, freedom so that nobody will ask you to work; that’s all he can think. Understand he cannot visualize enlightenment and tell you “let you have enlightenment”, no. That is not going to happen. So the very thinking….. you see it is not that beggar wants any bad for you. He wants only good, even that he can imagine or think only to a certain level.

All your beliefs, ideas are nothing but people who think good for you but who are good for nothing. They think good for you but they them self are good for nothing. They are good for only to the level an ordinary logic can function. If he is little intelligent man he will say ‘all right not only food and the house, let him have health also, let him have little bank balance also, let him have good wife’. That much he can think. Not further. The beliefs, ideas you think good for you put by the people who are good for nothing is only now fighting when the Master tries to teach you something.

It is the remains of your parents and family and society and school which is sitting in you, is fighting with the reminder by existence. Master is a reminder to you by Existence. Come back home. For a long time you are out. Get back. He is a reminder to you from the Existence. Unfortunately remains of the society in you, fights the reminder. Here reminder comes down to the level of the remains of the society in you. Bhagawan is not even saying I wanted to impose something newly on you; let me come down what you feel as a good, what you feel as a right, what you believe, what has got into your system by the people whom you don’t suspect.

When your friend says ‘aey study well, get a job’, naturally he is not thinking, bad for you. But the fool can think only that much. Many time the ideas put inside your head by the people who don’t think bad for you does not mean always those ideas are good for you. Bhagawan says, all right whatever is said and done, all those ideas from the friends, family society has gone into your system and became a bio-memory, like a calculus, it has settled in your system. Now it may be difficult for you to clear that. Let me come down to your level. Whatever ideas you already believe which is put inside you by society, let me work with those ideas and liberate you, give you the truth.

Oh Bharatha! All life forms are un-manifest initially. Very beautifully Bhagawan is using the word ‘life forms’. He is not using life, ‘life forms’. All life forms are un-manifest initially. Then in the middle they become manifest and finally become imperceivable once again. Then what lamenting can be there regarding this? Understand all of you have assumed your body with certain purpose. Nobody can destroy that purpose. Even if they try to destroy this body, the purpose is so powerful, it will assume one more body and do the job. All you need to do is stop grieving. There is nothing to lament.

Bhagavad Gita Mystery of Grace DATE: Day 37: Sep 30th 2011

Greatest gift to the humanity from the Vedic tradition is concept of soul. I can say science of soul, discovery of soul, description of soul, describing at least it is indescribable. Please understand even the description it is indescribable is a description because if you don’t give that description many fools would have started describing and started diverting the people.

One of the greatest contribution to the humanity from the Vedic tradition is concept of soul. I can say; unless you understand the science of soul, unless you understand what Krishna is trying to teach in this second chapter saankhya yoga, you can neither have life nor have peace in life. Krishna is an extraordinary Master who is putting the essence of this whole tradition, knowledge of soul.

This one concept…. actually this truth of about the ocean is like a….. truth about the soul is like a ocean. All your engram, all your suffering, all your conflicts, everything is like a small salt doll. It can just disappear in this ocean. Blessed are those who knows the technique of dissolving all components of them into the ocean of the knowledge. See you have many components. Some are your ambition. You are I can say….. all this put together only is you...your ambitions - what do you want to become, what do you want to do, immediate ambition, long term ambition, then your capacity. Please understand your capacity is unlimited - what you believe as your capacity.

If you just prepare your body, whole world is your house; you can live anywhere you want. It is just little bit of preparation. If you can handle the basic heat and cold, that’s it; whole world is your house now. People say I left my house in the young age itself. I tell you, No! I left my house to make the whole world as my house. Now… please understand, because I left my house in the young age and started travelling, somehow body and mind got accustomed. Anywhere if I stretch my leg I fall asleep. If I stretch my hand whatever falls in my hand I can eat; now the whole world has become my house my home. Expanding the capacity to lie; that is what I did….expanding my ability to live.

Tapas, your capacity, that is also part of you; what you believe as your capacity is part of you and what you believe as threats to you, your insecurities. I tell you, you don’t have any insecurity; you don’t have any threat but whatever you believe as your threat that is also part of you. All this put together is you. Please understand human bio memory, bio memory of human being can experience only two signal; one is love another one is fear, that’s all. All other signals are converted to this love and fear and experienced by you. Human bio memory is not capable of experiencing jealousy, it is not capable of experiencing ego, it is not capable of experiencing worry. If you de-code, if you go down, worry – jealousy- ego all this will get decoded, will get converted. Finally it will get boiled down to the binary of love-fear, love-fear, love-fear; that’s all.

Any program you may write everything finally boils down to the binary 0-1, 0-1, 0-1. Same way any emotion you can create finally everything boils down to fear-love, fear-love, fear-love, love-fear, love-fear, love-fear. Everything boils down to fear and love. You do not know any other experience existentially. All other experience, all other emotions are psychological but this love and fear is physiological. Your limited love, unlimited fear, all this are components of you. Blessed are those who can dissolve these components in the ocean of knowledge.

Sit and list all your components and tick one by one what all you can dissolve with this knowledge of soul; the science of soul. For example if you write 50 components of you, if you can dissolve even 10 or 20, you can easily call yourself as a seeker. If you can dissolve more than 60%, around 30, I will call you, I will surely give you the title you are living enlightenment. If you can dissolve above 40 even if there is 10 remaining I will really call you as radiating enlightenment because those 10 will not have power over you.

Understand when you cross the level of 40 components of you dissolving in the knowledge; what will be the remaining 10? Some temporary ambitions or the foolish vision or the mood swing; only these few will be left un-dissolved in the ocean of knowledge. I can tell you those few things un-dissolved; if it is only 10% or 20% you don’t even have to struggle to dissolve that. Just neglect it, carry on with your life with the confidence ‘ehhh I have dissolved more than 80% get out’. Simply by your confidence the other 20% will run away; dissolve. They will just disappear. They don’t want to live with you. Surely they won’t like to be with you.

This great knowledge ‘the soul is indescribable’, I can interpret this word ascaryavat pasyati kascit enam in three different ways. One; some tries to visualize whatever way they can but till the end they will never be able to visualize. Some tries to verbalize whatever way they can but till the end they can’t verbalize. Some wonder by reading and listening and meditating; but yet none know it at all…. so one way. There is other way you can understand...one more sacred secret. Some people see it with wonder when it lands in the human body, some people speak that as a wonder, some other people hear that wonder. Even if you hear, see, speak about it, no one can understand it at all. You can be awestruck but you can never struck the truth of His Being.

How much ever you describe the consciousness it is not possible to describe because the very spectrum is different. It’s like a frog which was born and brought up, lived throughout his life in the well in a remote village, is trying to describe the ocean. One day unfortunately as an accident ocean frog fell into the well.

The well frog invited the guest and asked you are from where.

Ocean frog said ‘I am from ocean’.

Well frog said ‘what do you mean by ocean is it a bigger place than mine’.

Ocean frog laughed and said ‘no, no it is a too big place’.

The well frog jumped from one corner of the well to other corner and said ‘ehh is your ocean bigger than this or what’.

Ocean frog could not control the laughter and said ‘yes, yes it is bigger please leave it. It is ok’.

That fellow jumped diagonally from one side to the other side and said ‘don’t tell a lie. Is it bigger than this?’

Ocean frog said ‘its ok you leave it. Don’t struggle much, it is bigger’.

Then the well frog started shouting, ‘You liar how dare you tell there is some more water other than my well in the world’.

That frog which was living in the well is called atheist. Frog in the well do not know the existence of eternity. Like well frog trying to fight with ocean frog, well frog can never understand, same way most of us can never understand which is beyond our logic.

Bhagavad Gita Don’t Escape from Life DATE: Day 38: Oct 3rd 2011

There is a natural universal law ‘everything is flowing in that, everything is flowing with that’.

Swadharmam apichavekshya navikampitum arhasi dharmyaaddhi yuddhaasreyonyaat kshtriyasya na vidyate

It’s Bhagavan’s words. You can’t, you should not dare to manipulate or misinterpret these words. Bhagawan is straight away saying for your swadharma….. see the reason for which I created you, the place where you are supposed to fit - for that this is the right action; do it. The creator authoritatively addresses the problem.

Please understand Krishna is not person who is conditioned by the concepts of community, caste, creed or religion or other social morality and social ideas. No. He has done everything you describe as immoral, illegal in those days or nowadays. Anything you describe as illegal or immoral, Krishna has done it. He has not left anything. He has done the greatest things of the world and same way he has done what you call as cheapest. Here is the authority who has the right to say about swadharma.

Please understand whatever is said and done, a man who has not seen both sides misses little juice, little spice. I cannot say don’t eat non veg because I do not know if I was habituated, brought up with non veg, how to quit. I do not know all the struggles and suffering you go through. When I see a photograph of non veg cooked I do not have any experience in my tongue; my tongue is dead, it is not inviting, it is not tempting me. So what right do I have to tell you give up non veg. I can say as a medical advice I can give this word but I don’t have a moral authority because I do not know how to get out of that saliva comes in your mouth when you see the non veg photograph, when the smell of cooking the non veg happens to you. I do not know. I can at the most tell you to get out of gongura chutney because only that I have tasted. When I see that the saliva which comes in my mouth I have controlled, I know how to control. So this I have right. But many things I myself have not tasted so I have no right to talk about swadharma.

Please understand man who has missed many things in his life naturally will be less spicy. Here is Bhagawan who has played with the life like a child. He is not the guy who enters into the lake and just takes bath and washes his body and applies the soap and takes bath and comes out. He is a guy who splashes the whole water, whirls in the water, jumps; makes a big ruckus. I can tell you very clearly how Brindavan would have been every day; the extreme joy and happiness and extreme insecurity; you do not know what he will do next day.

Two types of insecurity;

one insecurity ‘what will happen to you, where will you be, will you be near him or away from him, what will happen to your relationship with him’.

Second you are so much involved with him, when you have so much love, you will have deep insecurity ‘will this fellow land himself in some problem’.

I tell you when you have too much of love, if you are involved too much with anybody, you will have a deep insecurity about that person. You will have fear, ‘he is so innocent. We don’t know. Will he land himself in some problem?’

Don’t worry even though gopis and gopikas had so much of fear ‘will Krishna land himself in any trouble’ no! Only he landed all others into trouble. But you need to wait till the end of the Bhagavatha story. During Bhagavatha story it always looks like Krishna is having trouble, having trouble. But by the end of the chapter always Krishna wins. That is why he is Krishna.

Q\&A with Paramhamsa Nithyananda

I will answer your questions for next few moments. Let’s start with your questions. Today I have around 1000s of questions because all of you have sent your report why you are a mortal. I will take up all your reason as questions and I am reducing all those reasons, I am merging all those reasons, I am clubbing all the cases making it almost like a clause action law suit reducing it to a few points and break one by one.

See, you all saying you are a mortal is literally clause action law suit on all incarnations happening on the planet earth. Because we go on claiming we are immortal and you are also immortal. But you go on claiming you are also mortal and we are also mortal. So it is a clause action law suit. I will break one by one, point by point. Finally leave the judgment to you. Because I already given judgment for me.

Please understand in this court each one have to give judgment for them self. Nobody can judge others. If you are told by somebody, somebody is sitting somewhere who will judge you; forget about it. Nobody has the right to judge others. If somebody is going to judge you then who is going to judge that guy? Forget about it. Nobody is going to judge you. Here only the arguments can be presented. It is you who is supposed to give judgment for yourself.

Incarnation is only a lawyer, maybe attorney general, that’s all, government’s representative, representative of the cosmos, that’s all; but he is not a judge. Judge is here accused himself. Accused is a judge; that is the beauty of this court. Accused himself argues for himself. Attorney general gives his side argument. But the final judgment is given by every individual for himself. That is the beauty of this huge universal court. That is why all of us are able to play this huge universal game.

If somebody is going to judge you and if that fellow gets angry for some reason, some mood and he may say come on wind up the whole thing. What will happen? You are not sub beings. Please understand you are not sub standard beings. You are not living sub standard life. This is the essence of Advaita. You are not second to anybody. If there is a God, that is you. Otherwise there is nobody else; that’s it leave it. It is you who is supposed to be giving judgment now.

I am presenting my arguments. In you there are two different components. I can say three components.

I can say one is you the accused, second you the lawyer, third you the judge.

Now I am addressing you the judge. ‘O Lord here are my arguments - you the judge is immortal, you the accused will be mortal the moment you the judge gives the judgment that you the accused is mortal by comparing the arguments of you the lawyer and me and my arguments’.

The first arguments by you the lawyer - I still get angry, upset, threatened, sad and experience all other unhappy reactions. I am unable to control either my life or my death.

Wow! Long submission! Let’s start analyzing one by one. Let me do post mortem of these words. I still get angry, upset, threatened, sad and experience all other unhappy reactions. I wanted to ask you, the moment you say you experience unhappy reactions, you already agreed you have the moments in your life where these reactions are not there. Am I right? There are moments in your life when you are not angry, when you are not upset, when you are not threatened, when you are not sad, when you are not experiencing unhappy reactions. Am I right? So why don’t you start believing you are immortal only in those moments.

Please understand I am not saying you are immortal always. I am saying you may be partially immortal, part time immortal. Why don’t you allow immortality part time with you? Whenever you are not angry, you are not sad, you are not upset, you are not threatened; those few moments; it may be only three minute in your day, half an hour in your month, one day in your year; that is ok. Why don’t you be immortal for those few minutes?

I tell you it is not few minutes, it is not few hours, it is not few days. Because you never attended that part of you, it looks like too small. Anything you don’t attend much, you don’t empower much, looks almost deprived in your life. You denied the existence of immortality in your life. I tell you all of you are in denial mode as far as immortality is concerned.

Bhagavad Gita What is Real Heaven? DATE: Day 39: Oct 4th 2011

The translation oh! Partha, joyful are the warrior who have obtained by chance a battle such as this which has opened the door to heaven. Partha, happy indeed of the kshastriyas warriors who are called to fight in such a battle without seeking. This opens for them the door to heaven.

Two key points- the war was not the option - choice by Arjuna. It was forced on them. They were ready to settle just for five house, not even five village or five street, five house but Duryodhana was not interested. First thing war was forced on them. Second, the word, this word should be understood “which has opened the door to heaven.”

I wanted you to understand this word in a deeper way; normally traditionally they interpret something like Veeraswarga; if somebody dies in the war and he reaches heaven. No. I do not want to attest that concept. I do not want to support it. Here I am going to give the true understanding of this line which Bhagawan says “which has opened the door to heaven.” This war has opened the door to heaven.

Let me describe clearly. Let me give you word by word translation.

Swarga dwaram apaavrtam-wide open this is the key word I wanted to interpret. I wanted all of you to understand. swarga dwaram apaavrtam. Please understand heaven is nothing but living your bio-memory, living your conscious pattern. Please understand patterns forced on you, imposed on you by society, parents, religion, relatives, friends, is different; the pattern you love, you cherish, you enjoy, you assume is different.

The pattern given from outside always people resist, when the pattern comes from inside you feel fulfilled living the conscious pattern. I can give you thousands of examples, thousands of examples. Man who lives his pattern, conscious pattern. I wanted to use the right word. You have the pattern imposed on you by society, by different, different elements which have vested interested on you, which have reason to exploit you; pattern given by them are really, will really be creating conflicts in you. But the conscious pattern with which you are comfortable, you are living, you are flowing; I can say that creates heaven.

Arjuna suddenly says I will leave everything and become a sadhu but his conscious pattern is not sadhu pattern. His conscious pattern which he enjoyed throughout his life is a warrior pattern. This sadhu pattern is forced on him by the society now. Because of the social situations he wants a decent burial to his old pattern; he wants a decent burial for his problems. Please understand there is no such thing as decent burial. Anything you try to burry always crips up and says “aey I am here.” There is no such thing called decent burial. You can’t burry anything. How much ever you try to bury anything decently it will be there like a peeping tomb. "I am here". Even if you bury in all sides he will pop up from your heart in the form of guilt. It will pop up and open his eyes and say "c'mon I am here" .

Arjuna was expecting a decent burial for his problem. He was using retirement, becoming sadhu as a technique. Vivekananda very beautifully says "Wherever this fellows non working, non doing, using religion as a shield, gathering or jumping and dancing, take a stick and beat them. That’s the extreme he is going. He goes to extreme of saying that….. in the north you will see many places in villages these fellows will not do any work, they will not plough their land, do agriculture, do nothing. They will just gather in small, small gathering and sing Hare Rama Hare Krishna Govinda, Govinda, singing and jumping.

It is not that they have devotion so they are practicing. They just want to escape but where will they get food? Always in the bhajan mandalis they will get a good free food. They are there for free food. Vivekananda says don’t ever forgive them. Take a stick, round the whole group and see that not a single fellow escapes and beat them. Even I was shocked how Vivekananda is giving such a strong instruction “beat them.” But I feel these fellows, this non doers using the religion to give a decent burial to their lifestyle of non doing is a crime. All over the world millions do it; millions use the religion as the shield for their non doing.

They have references in every religion. They will pick up some word from Vedas they will pick, then from Bible they will pick up, from Quran they will pick up, from Buddha they will pick up, from Mahavira they will pick up. They are so intelligent; they are more intelligent than any other incarnation. So any incarnation's word they can take it and make their own interpretation. It is called lazy bum vartika, lazy bum bashya; Bashya written by the lazy bums. For any scripture they will write a bashya . See each book will have its own bashyas, Shankar bashya, Ramanuja bashya; different bashyas. Like that these fellows also have their own bashyas; lazy bum bashya. They know how to twist all the statements of all the Masters and make it into a lazy bum theology. They can go on talking, justifying why they are non doers. Why they don’t move their body. Why they don’t create. I tell you heaven is flowing with your natural pattern and expanding.

Here Arjuna’s natural pattern is warrior. Let me tell you how to find out your natural pattern, which makes you feel you are something more than what you are, adding to you. I have seen sometime when you take up some difficult project and complete it, when you bring it you feel wow I have done it. I did it. That feeling is heaven. The feeling of fulfillment which comes to you after tremendous creativity, expressed through you by your natural law of expansion. Swadharma means natural law of expansion

Bhagavad Gita Straighten out your Consciousness DATE: Day 40: Oct 5th 2011

Atha cet tvam imam dharmyam sangramam na karisyasi Tatah svadharmam kirtim ca hitva papam avapsyasi

The translation: If you will not fight this righteous war then you will incur sin having abandoned your own duty and you will lose your reputation. On the other hand if you do not engage in this righteous war having abandoned your own natural expansion you will gain guilt, gain sin.

Now Bhagawan is coming down to Arjuna’s level. See Bhagawan is not leaving a single stone unturned. First he spoke in the highest spectrum of consciousness, then he spoke in the level of bio memory, then in the muscle memory. Finally he is coming to the level of engram. Even in the engram level this war is the right thing for you to do. He comes to the level of engram and says literally Bhagawan is playing even with fear and greed of Arjuna. I tell you, for an incarnation to come down to this level, it is a tremendous compassion.

Understand, when an incarnation showers love or shakes you with fear, both happens by his tremendous compassion. He comes down to the language you talk. It’s like one day I go to Gurukul and all the kids are sitting and fighting to share some candy. I also sit with them and have the same fight. A normal man can never grasp, foolish logic can never grasp. You can exploit and abuse this whole verse, this whole situation saying ‘Krishna exploiting Arjuna, threatening him saying ‘ehhh do this war otherwise you will incur sin’ and poor Arjuna fought’. No!

If you see every time how Krishna protected Arjuna, every time how Krishna stood by Arjuna, you will see very clearly Arjuna is not needed for Krishna mission. If Krishna’s mission is all about having this war and killing all these fellows and reducing the population negativity on the planet earth, he does not need Arjuna. It is Arjuna’s fortune, Krishna’s compassion, he comes down even to the level of ordinary fear and greed. Only when you look at from this angle you will understand the compassion of Krishna. He holds the hand, goes to the lowest level of Arjuna and says ‘ehhh you will go to hell. Do what I am saying’.

I tell you, for an ordinary man his greatness is based on how big he raises himself, poses himself. For an incarnation his greatness is measured how low he can come down. Krishna is the first Master who went to the extreme, the lowest valley, to express the love or fear. I tell you that is why he is purnavatara. He is a perfect incarnation. He is a complete incarnation.

Rama would have maintained his grace. See when the Ravana was standing without any weapon, see the grace Rama behaves ‘Go today. Come back tomorrow with weapon’. But here, Krishna, that poor Karna, he is not having any weapon…. lifting the chariot wheel which is stuck in the slush, goes to Arjuna and says come on shoot! Finish this fellow! I tell you for a common man it will look like what a low level. But only an insider knows Ravana story is different, situation is different, Karna’s is different. And not only that all the punyas of Karna was protecting him at that time. Any arrow Arjuna sends goes and falls on Karna as garland.

Then he goes to the next lowest level. He takes a different form, goes with the makeup of a Brahmin, begging Karna. He is almost lying half dead.

He goes and begs ‘oh Karna I have come to beg. I heard you never refuse anything. Oh my unfortune, you have nothing to give. Sorry I am going’.

He is exactly poking at Karna’s ego. Karna built his whole personality based on one statement. I will give at anytime anything anybody wants. Karna comes back to life. It is like when a snake is half dead if you just put the stick on the neck of the snake it will raise the tail almost equalent to its height. Before death he will jump using his last power and energy…..before going fuse the bulb will flash.

So his ego comes out ‘how dare you tell that? Ask what you want. I will give’.

Then Krishna says ‘Now you don’t have anything. You have only all the punyas you earned by giving daana. All right if you can give me that...’

Karna says ‘Take it. It’s yours’.

He did not have water to give daana. He just removes the arrow, his own heart blood he pours in the hand of Krishna and gives daana of all the punya he has done.

I tell you the highest, greatest, happening happened on the planet earth is this scene; Greatest giver and greatest receiver. This receiver is not an ordinary man. He is not receiving for himself. He knows unless Karna comes out of all the good karma he will not become enlightened. Krishna does not want Karna to be sitting in heaven. He wants Karna to be liberated. That is why when Vyasa describes each person’s death, when it comes to Karna he says Karna moksha. He does not say Karna vadha. Neither for Drona nor for Bhishma or for Duryodhana; for nobody Vyasa uses the word moksha. Only for Karna Vyasa uses the word Karna moksha. That chapter he calls as Kaana moksha; greatest giver greatest receiver.

Now when it is established Krishna is an incarnation, all this are glorified, celebrated, enjoyed; but when he was in the body, even Arjuna would have suspected. I tell you for whose sake Krishna did this, even that guy in the corner of the mind would have thought ‘if he can go this cheap level with Karna then better let me be careful. He can do this same to me also’.

Understand, knowing this all is possible he comes down to that level. This is the greatest sacrifice.

Bhagavad Gita Get out of peer pressure DATE: Day 41: Oct 6th 2011

Small story: A woman was letting her husband have it with just a touch of more venom than usual. She was shouting, “You are an idiot, you have always been an idiot, you will always be an idiot, if they had an idiot contest you would come in second.” The guy was shocked, he is asking, “Why would I come in second asked the husband?” Wife replies “because you are an idiot.”

Do not bother about what people talk. People who go on passing opinion cannot achieve anything, cannot do anything. People who have capacity to do, does not waste their time in passing opinion.

Akirtim capi bhutani kathayisyanti te vyayam | Sambhavitasya cakirtir maranad atiricyate ||

kathayisyanti that is a key word. Bhagawan says people will talk if you are afraid of others words that is much worse than this fear. I tell you, greatest liberation in the life is liberation from others words. Our scriptures say ‘yogasya prthamam dwaram vaangnirodaha’. The first step for yoga is controlling the words. Always people have interpreted this controlling your words. I give you the right understanding, the sacred secret in this sutra. The first step for yoga is not just controlling your words; controlling that others words don’t affect you.

The uttered words, does not penetrate you and disturb you. You not uttering word, you reducing your words and others words not affecting you - both put together is yogasya prathamam dwaram vaangnirodaha. Standing with your integrity, standing with your clarity is life

Bhagavad Gita Why we repeat our mistakes DATE: Day 42: Oct 7th 2011

You need to know some of the deeper secrets about samskara. A samskara can be suspended temporarily if the people related are not any more part of your life. For example; you are having certain fear about somebody, you are having lust engram about somebody, you are having jealousy engram about somebody, you feel jealousy towards somebody, you feel lustful towards somebody, you feel angry towards somebody; if those persons are not seen by you, they are not any more part of your life, there is no communication ……ends abruptly…………...

These are the three moments three ways life can be infused into engraved memory. Please understand your whole life is nothing but your engrams. You wake up as you are programmed, you brush your teeth as you are programmed, you take bath as you are programmed, you have your food as you are programmed, you do all your day to day activities as you are programmed, you go back to bed as you are programmed. Your programming can become alive with three things. As I said if you are acting on the programming, for example addiction to coffee, alcohol, smoking; if you are again and again acting on it, that engram will become alive strong in your life.

Acting on the same memory can strengthen your engram - bring life to your engram or the same person’s time place, that can bring life to your engram. For example; you are jealous of somebody, you have lust for somebody, your anger for somebody; usually you will have all the three with your spouse. That is why that relationship is too strong to be broken or to be lived with. You have these engrams with somebody…. you are not acting upon it, you are just sitting, but that person is crossing your life, your breathing space; immediately those engrams in you will become alive. The pattern in you will become alive. Life will be infused into those patterns.

Third; during the leaving the body all the engrams will become alive. Here Bhagavan is using the second technique second secret. First he warned Arjuna ‘ehh people will continue to talk about you in an ill way’ kathayishyanti. I think Arjuna is too much in delusion even that kathayishyanti is not working. Now Bhagavan is making it more visual. He is describing ehh all these Maharathas; Maharatha means mainly Karna. Karna is the direct enemy of Arjuna. Arjuna cherishes strong enmity, jealous towards Karna. Just the memory of that person can awaken all the engrams related to that person. Bhagavan is trying to bring Karna to the memory of Arjuna saying ‘ehh all these days you were always winning Karna…..’ because of whom….. Bhagawan!!

This Bhagawan who cheated, conspired, did all cheap things to make Arjuna win just because this fellow is a devotee. What to do? Bhagavan has done everything possible. He has done the highest act of giving enlightenment to the lowest act of cheating people for the sake of his devotees. Devotion is almost like emotional blackmail to Bhagavan. If you just have that you can get anything you want. That feeling connection is so powerful.

I tell you... I can tell you from my experience. I will do anything for the people who have feeling connection for me….. who have feeling connection with me I will do anything. Bhagavan has gone to any.... I can say the lowest possible levels. As I was describing the other day to kill the Jayadratha he covers the sun. To kill Bheeshma he brings Shikandi in the front. To kill Drona he tells a lie. He creates a beautiful conspiracy and he lies literally and not only that, he lies through a proper person who will be trusted.

He calls Yudhistra and says ‘ehh everybody trusts you will not lie. You tell what I am saying’.

Yudhistra says ‘No I will not tell a lie’.

He says ‘ehhh you tell Ashwathama ada kunjanaha - elephant named Ashwathama died. Ashwathama the elephant died’.

This fellow says ‘no, no, no it is a lie. Drona will understand Ashwathama is dead and he will not fight, he will stop fighting. I don’t want to tell a lie’.

Then Bhagawan says ‘ehhh technically you will be right. I will kill a elephant named Ashwathama’. He catches the elephant names it Ashwathama and kills it. Now tells Yudhistra ‘ahhh come on, you go and tell’. It is technically right but dharmically wrong. Vyasa describes, whatever is said and done it may be technically right but as consciously it is wrong the Dharmaraja’s chariot always used to be two feet above the ground level. It fell one feet down! Yudhistra lost his grace by that one lie.

He has done every cheap possible things; sometimes I feel much more than Bharatn politicians for the sake of disciples. Please understand but till the end he has not done even one small wrong or so called wrong for himself. No. After the war he could have become king! Who is going to ask him? He did not get coronated. All the pancha pandavas would have served his feet if he wants. NO. That is Krishna.

Bhagavad Gita Life is eternal expansion DATE: Day 43: Oct 10th 2011

Unless there is somebody in your life who brings the eternal truth into practical instructions, eternal truth into practical life, spirituality is not going to help you in anyway. You yourself cannot make it. Understand if you yourself are trying to make eternal truths into livable living reality you may be using the pirated version of the software. The problem with the pirated version is no service, no customer care. When you are in danger you are in danger; that’s all.

I have seen many people saying...’ehhhh what’s the need for a guru’. Come on! Still the coding system is with them… with the Masters. See the difference. See Arjuna is also talking the same logic. ‘Ehhh life is impermanent. Why should we kill them? I am retiring becoming sadhu’. But Bhagawan is completely talking something opposite. Actually it should be like this Arjuna should be saying come on I am going to fight and kill all these fellows and Bhagawan should be saying no, no see they are all your friends and relatives how can you kill them out of your greed for the land. Come on become a sadhu I will initiate you. You are my first goudiya sampradaya sanyasi, Krishna sampradaya sanyasi. That should have happened. But completely opposite is happening. See the fun. But Bhagawan is saying come on that is not right. Don’t try to escape. Fight!!

If a normal man who tries to read scriptures and try to make use of the spirituality to enrich his life by himself what he would have thought? Naturally any logical man will come to the conclusion why fight? Retire, be a sadhu; that is the solution you will come up with. That is why I am saying if you have come to that decision you are using pirated software. You are not using, you are not having original version.

Bhagawan is making the eternal truths into practical reality in Bhagawad Gita in Arjuna’s life. This word tasmad uttistha kaunteya yuddhaya krta niscayah this is the smruti for Arjuna. All of you also have a powerful smruti. Please understand the practical instruction you are supposed to follow will be always powerful than the eternal truths because the practical instructions straight away works on your life. But everybody is happy with eternal truths. That is why 1000s of people go to temples and shrines of the dead masters but very few people go to live with the living Master.

See 1000s go to the Master’s shrines and temples where they are not physically alive but with a living Master very few go because the smruti - the day to day instruction will be too strong. See if you need to sit and listen ‘ehhh life is impermanent. You change the body just like you change the cloth’. If you need to sit and listen this it is not a big thing. You will be happy to do this whole day. But the next word ‘come on tasmad uttistha kaunteya yuddhaya krta niscayah . Get up oh Kounteya for war’ then comes the problem. The smruti the day to day instrution will be more powerful more strong than the smruti-eternal truths. That is where the problem comes. That is why nobody wants a living Master who will give smruti to them who will give day to day instructions to them.

Everybody wants shruti the eternal truths so that they can bend as they want. Everybody wants gold to make jewels as it fits with their body. But Masters always make jewelry and give you the readymade jewelry and tell you to change the shape of your body for jewelry. They say come on 17 inch biceps build it now. They make jewelry and give you and then tell you... ‘ehhh for this jewelry build your body’. That is where the problem starts. Everybody likes gold but nobody likes readymade jewelry; because now for this readymade jewelry you have to make your body. Bhagawan naturally makes only 30 inch odiyana and asks you come on bring your waist to 30 inch. But you want gold to make 60 inch odiyana; the waist band. You feel no, no, no give me the gold I will make 60 inch waist band. But Bhagawan says no I already made the jewelry, it is 30 inch waist band; come on reduce your belly, reduce your tummy. This is the difference between shruti and smruti the eternal truths and day to day life style.

With this verse Bhagawan ends giving instructions. One more truth you need to understand very beautifully Bhagawan says you will achieve heaven even if you die. What’s the meaning of that word? Let me be very honest. I do not believe if you die in a war even if it is a dharmic war you will have a special place where all the Rambha Menaka Urvashi will come in front of you and dance and give you the somarasa and all that. I do not believe. So what Bhagawan must be saying through these words hato va prapsyasi svargam jitva va bhoksyase mahim. If you are killed prapsyasi svargam you will achieve the svarga. See if you die in expansion process you will have such a deep satisfaction, even while you leave your body that deep feeling fulfilled is heaven.

Life is expansion understand; it’s eternal expansion. Understand I will constantly be expanding you. Your pattern or concept of feeling homely means ‘Nothing….Wow I don’t need to do anything. I can just stretch my leg in the easy chair and sip cup of coffee and there will be a worker to wash my clothes and dry it and iron it and even if I want they can put it on me. The idea of feeling home for you is different; the idea of real home is different. You see constantly I will be putting you in uncertainty and making you expand. When you settle with the feeling of unsettled, when you are feeling homely with the feeling of not feeling homely, when the expansion becomes your rest, when the constant running is the space you are having vacation, you are done!! Till then I will not let you feel, I will not allow you to feel the pseudo homely feeling; pseudo settled feeling...that will be pseudo moksha which Shishupala gives to all his wives, his dasis; not what Krishna gave for his gopikas.

Krishna never let his gopas and gopikas settle down. Every day some demon will come. If there is no demon he will poke at the Indra and make Indra to fight with the gopikas. Just because his gopikas and gopis loved Krishna and wanted to live around him this fellow has made all kinds of hell for them. Either some demon will come to kill this fellow, if there is no demon is coming everything is going well he will poke at the Indra and call him for a fight like I am poking many Indras now. And those fellows will come and shower heavy rain and create big trouble. Then this fellow will pick up the big hill and keep it under his small little finger and show his valor. What a drama!!!

Understand you should be flying in jet speed but your inner space should be in completely in rest, in restful awareness. Start resting; start relaxing in restful awareness, being highly creative and productive. That is your life. In the high speed running be in restful awareness, be witnessing, be a witness. Life is expansion. In the expansion process even if you die you will have the tremendous fulfillment. That is what Bhagawan says hato va prapsyasi svargam- even if you die you will achieve heaven. That fulfillment is heaven.

Decide even if you die, go through the proper direction-the direction of expansion, so that you will achieve the extraordinary fulfillment, which is heaven. I tell you this one word uttistha kaunteya yuddhaya krta niscayah; this shows Hinduism, Vedic tradition is for life. It is not anti life, it is not against life; it is for life. I wanted all of you to carry this sacred secret as message of Hinduism, message of Vedic tradition, message of Bhagawad Gita, message of Bhagawan. We are for life. Even if death comes on the way to life you will have the fulfillment of heaven but life should not come on the way to death. Death should come on the way to life. Be always on the way to life. Sit with this one sacred secret; internalize this one sacred secret - life is for living. We are for life in every step.

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

Thank you.

Bhagavad Gita Do you really love yourself? DATE: Day 44: Oct 11th 2011

The first sacred secret I want you to know there is no such thing as pain and pleasure, good and bad, gain and loss, victory and defeat in planet earth. There is no such thing as victory and defeat, understand. Because all you understand in the name of pain and pleasure, victory and defeat, gain and loss is inside the small bubble - planet earth. 10million soap bubbles are there in the air, inside one soap bubble two ants are fighting one is claiming the victory over the other, one is dead at the feet, the other one is sitting with a big sword; how long this fellow can celebrate his victory? In few seconds the whole bubble blasted, both the fellows are dead, nobody knows who won, who lost. Even in the Mahabharata war I don’t think after the war the Pandavas lived even 100 years. No…. because already they are old; at least in the middle age.

What is the victory? The spectrum in which you feel pleasure, pain, gain, loss, victory, defeat, it is such a low spectrum. There is no such thing as defeat and victory, there is no such thing as gain and loss, there is no such thing pleasure and pain. Victory and defeat, gain and loss, pleasure and pain are all inside small bubble. You can understand in the way of pebble or bubble. Both are same. Whole world is a small pebble in the universe; the whole earth is a small water bubble in the cosmos.

In our Vedic literature we are describing Bhagawan is in anantha shayana; from his naval cord there was a lotus, and from there Brahma came and all this creation happened. You will be shocked just 7 days before there was a paper published on cosmos and universe. They are describing exactly the same. Group of scientists are saying…. from somewhere like a umbilical cord a kind of a thread is coming into the cosmos which we are living now. They are feeling through that umbilical cord only this cosmos has been fed with many stars and planets and there is a certain material with which this cosmos in which we are living is connected to the larger universe which is literally unmanifest. This whole galaxy which you are seeing itself is a one dust…. then how many dusts are there like this?

Pleasure and pain, gain and loss, victory and defeat are all in too low spectrum. I tell you whether you live this truth or not that is secondary. Everyday at least spend few minutes in remembering this sacred truth….. ‘ehh this whole thing is so small’. Remember life is too big at least for ten minutes a day. That remembrance can bring so much of healing in your system. I tell you just this moment when I am talking about it I can see how much of auspicious feeling, feeling to exist, feeling to live, feeling to love, feeling to radiate is happening in my system. I am not even…. see the moment I remember this feeling of huge…. and all our worry, victory, defeat, pain, gain, loss, pleasure, all too small; sukha dukhe same krutva labha labhou jaya jayou... treat them all the same.

I wanted to tell you all, you can’t treat all of them same directly. No. you try your best you will be constantly failing. I am revealing you the deepest sacred secret. Everyday at least few minutes before going to bed or after coming out of sleep, sit and remember how tiny you are. This whole planet earth itself is too small in the cosmos, the whole cosmos itself is too small in the universe. It’s all too negligible. If you want try to see some video or photograph from the YouTube or something just to understand about the hugeness of the cosmos. Let your mind absorb, let your mind understand ‘God everything is too big’.

You see one part of your mind will be no, no, everything is too big, that is true, but practically I have to get up and do my duty, do my job, come on let me find solution for this. Relax, relax for few moments and look at the whole ‘Oh God it is too big, my problems are too small’. Even if you have the problem that you want to become the president of America and you are not able to, that is too small. Before going to bed everyday at least for ten minutes allow this idea to sink inside. ‘God everything is too big’. I am just a small dust. What am I? All my problems, all my pleasure, all my pain, all my gain, all my loss, all my victory, all my defeat; when this smallness settles with you suddenly you will see the pleasure and pain becomes same for you, gain and loss will be same for you, victory and defeat will be same for you.

The next line, a powerful line, with this line Bhagawan brings the science of enlightenment to planet earth. Do battle for the sake of battle and you shall incur no sin. Your consciousness lands on the planet earth as a pure shining light but all your pleasure and pain and loss and gain, victory and defeat, these attachments makes it corrupt, dull. It’s like you bring a pure shiny mirror, here they throw all the dust, pleasure, pain, gain; all the dust and that mirror loses its quality to reflect, radiate, shining. Everybody will ask what is the way to keep the mirror pure, shining? The only way is do not allow pleasure and pain, gain and loss, victory and defeat. Do battle for the sake of battle and you shall incur no sin. Do battle for the sake of battle, live your life just because of the enjoyment it brings.

I tell you every time the feeling for life when it happens in me like a wave, I just feel oh God I am living I want to live so I am going to live forever. This is what I call energy - feeling that life is good. When this wave hits you energy fills your system; not because of any loss or defeat, any victory or gain, any pleasure or pain; just for no reason life is too big, consciousness is too great.

It’s like when you go in front of a too big guy you don’t feel like asking 50 paisa or one rupee or a pen or pencil. You become silent; asking these things is too petty or too small in front of him. I tell you that’s what exactly I feel in front of my consciousness to ask for anything. Again and again my disciples push me ‘Swamiji ask for this. If you think, it will all be done immediately’. The moment I turn inside, the life is too big to have a desire. Understand life is too big to have any desire. When you have a desire and look inside, turn inside, with that desire you look too petty too cheap too small.

Life is too big; consciousness is too big to have any desire. When I understand consciousness is too big, the wave raises, the wave ‘life is too good’ rises in my being. That’s what I call energy. Every time ‘the life is too good - that feeling comes in me I just feel I love life. Because I love the life I know I am going to live forever. This body and mind is not going to stop my existence. These two can come with me a long as they both can. When they both feel they can’t, they can retire, relax, rest; rest into the tatvas. When I say the word tatva I mean that different tathvas like water, earth, fire, air, ether. My body and mind can rest in different tatvas but I am going to continue to exist; because life is too good. I have so much of love for the pure life, so body and mind can come with me as long as they can. After that I will continue to live; they can relax into my tatvas.

Understand love for life should cross your love for your body and your love for your mind. Unfortunately your love for life is too small than your love for your body and your love for your mind. You are directing your love in wrong direction that is why suffering. You love people who constantly torture you.

I have seen sometime, in city slums, this husband will be a drunkard, womanizer; does everything which should not be done, will do everything in the day time and drink in the night time and come back to the house and beat the wife. But this lady will continue to love him and live with him just because of the temporary security this fellow provides. Once one devotee came to me; she was telling this same thing. This fellow is doing everything Swamiji. He drinks, he smokes, he womanizes and sometimes he even brings STDs to her, he beats her. I asked then why do you still live with him, why do you love him and live with him. She says no, no, I need a security of husband. At least nobody else comes and disturbs me because he is there as a husband.

Sometime this temporary securities they provide, you direct your love towards them. Same way your body and mind, your mind goes round... your mind is like this husband. This fellow goes round he drinks, smokes, fantasizes, gets the fear, gets insecured and brings STDs back. What is STD……. all the sufferings, pains, which comes to you by the association with the mind. This fellow goes round, creates fantasies…. that’s what is having affair, gets frightened means getting some STD and does everything, drinks - falling into delusion that’s what is falling into delusion, does everything comes back and beats you also putting you in depression, making you feel life is a depression, life is dangerous.

Look at your life!!! But still every morning you say oh my body my mind. You continue to love your body and mind more than your life. Unfortunately by and by you even forgot something called life exists which is longer than your body and mind, which is taller than your body and mind, which is more than your body and mind.

The first understanding a child should be given in our Gurukul is ‘life is more than body and mind’. So love the life more than you love your body and mind.

Bhagavad Gita Which is the right path for you? DATE: Day 46: Oct 13th 2011

Please understand, for example I give bhakti for ‘A’, karma for ‘B’, yoga for ‘C’, dhyana for ‘D’; ‘D’ can achieve only through dhyana. For whoever I give whatever, that is path for them. That person should not even think there are 1000s of paths. He should know ‘no only this is the path’. But an enlightened being cannot say there is only one path for all. Understand the difference.

When you are initiated there is only one path for you; after that no other path. Now you need only perseverance in that path; that’s all. But from an enlightened beings side I can’t say there is only one path, nothing else, no. There are millions of path. The big confusion is sometime the individual seeker thinking there are millions of path, he starts jumping here and there, here and there, here and there and without perseverance in one path he starts jumping here and there. So he never achieves; he loses. That should not happen. On the other end Master - teacher tries to tell there is only one path nothing else, nobody else. Then the whole follower group becomes fanatic. That is the other danger.

Please understand only by understanding you can avoid both dangers. From your side you should know there is only one path, from my side I should tell there are millions of paths. The truth is there are millions of paths but the fact for you is there is only one path. The path in which you are initiated, pick up that, know that this is the only path and go with it. But the expounder cannot say there is nothing else. No. Expounder should know the truth - there are millions of paths. Expounder cannot even justify saying that ‘ohh if I say there are millions of path, disciples don’t have perseverance on one path they are initiated, they jump here and there’... expounder can’t be forgiven even if he gives this excuse. No.

It is your responsibility to make the disciple understand there are millions of paths but forget about all others, you pick up this one and practice. If he has given that understanding to the disciples, they will travel in their path but they will know very clearly there are other paths also. I cannot go and kill somebody who is travelling in some other path. The terrorism, fanaticism based terrorism would not have happened if the Masters and expounders have taken the responsibility of making disciples understand ‘for you only one path in which you are initiated but there are millions of paths’.

The guru who believes there is only one path nothing else and the disciple who believes there are millions of paths; both are dangerous. Guru should be very clear there are millions of paths and he should make disciples understand, disciple should be very clear ‘for me there is only one path’ and have perseverance and achieve it. But knowing there are some more paths may help disciple not be fanatic or terrorist or violent towards others.

See it’s a different spectrum; teachings given to different spectrums. For example the man who has never started even the good actions, he should be taught good actions but that is not ultimate. He need to know you need to go beyond even good actions. Good and bad need to be crossed.

What is after all heaven? Heaven is nothing but your solidified fantasy for pleasure; that’s all. What else is heaven…. solidified fantasy for pleasure. That is why see the description of the heaven... the milk and honey will flow like a river, the soma rasa - higher level alcohol which gives you kick but doesn’t spoil the health… that flows like a river and Rambha Menaka Urvashi - eternal virgins will always be dancing around, you will have pushpaka vimanas - private jet to travel wherever you want, huge palatial buildings and amrutha...you can go on be eating, you will not feel stomach is full or you will not put on weight, you will not die, nectar.

See all the descriptions of heaven. You remove all the side effect and after effect or bad things from whatever you see and solidify all the good things and make it as a heaven. What is the part you like in a elephant - the tusk. Come on let us have the elephant with four tusk and ten trunks. That is what is Airavata. Airavata is supposed to be having 10 trunks and 4 tusks; 4 tusks and 10 trunks because that is the best part in elephant. What is the best thing you want from a tree? If one tree can give all fruits how great it will be. That is exactly the description of Kalpataru. One tree but it can give not only all fruits….all items you ask!!!

I can tell you heaven is nothing but Harry Potter story-the solidified fantasy of the kids; nothing more than that. I can tell you, the Harry Potter story how it became popular in the modern days, same way this heaven story has become very popular in those days. Then slowly, slowly, people have started believing it is true. I am not saying it is lie. I am only saying it is not truth enough to be ultimate truth. It is not true enough to be ultimate truth.

Actually there is heaven; there are Indras, other Gods. This is what we call life in the other planet. There are some more planets where life IS Rishi loka, Muni loka, Pitru loka, Swarga loka, Vaikunta, Brahma loka; there are and each incarnation has his own akshara dhama -means the space which never gets perished, in which his form remains and continues to do the play and all the disciples who cherish his form, devotees who want his form, they all gather around him and live around that form; Aksharadhamas… all this are true.

Somebody came to me the other day and said Swamiji in enlightenment there is no form, it’s all beyond form and formless. But I am hearing Swaminarayan people are constantly teaching you will become an eternal servant, devotee of Bhagawan in Aksharadhm. How is it true? Understand there is a space, plane, where each Master each incarnation has an Aksharadhama and from Aksharadhama directly you can rest into the ultimate enlightenment nirvikalpa samadhi. I can say in a way people who live closely, who are too attached to the form who does not want to give up the form, they enjoy the space of Aksharadhama.

But even the Aksharadhama is not true enough to be the ultimate truth. So the teachings given for the different spectrum of consciousness…. if you do all this homas you will reach heaven. It is a teaching given for the spectrum of heaven. But if you go beyond the karma without expecting results without bothering about fear or greed, if you are just go on expanding you as a pure consciousness, ultimately you will reach something beyond heaven or hell which we call enlightenment, satya swarupa, the ultimate beyond form and formlessness. This is the higher level teaching.

Please understand just because you heard the higher level teaching don’t think the lower level is a lie. True enough to be ultimate truth. One side the people who think heaven is the ultimate truth are fools. The other side people who think ‘ohhh all these ideas about heaven are lies’ are again fanatics. You need to understand the truth leads you from one step to other step, one step to other step; different spectrum. Here Bhagawan is breaking the myth saying heaven is the ultimate…. is not the ultimate truth.

karmany evadhikaras te ma phalesu kadacana | ma karma-phala-hetur bhur ma te sango stv akarmani ||

You have a right only to work but never to the outcome. Your jurisdiction is merely the execution which is at one time or another measured by the reward. Please understand it may be measured by the reward but let your action not happen by the reward. Let the inspiration for you not be based on the reward. That’s a big problem. That is where the problem comes. Bhagawan is not saying don’t take the reward, don’t receive the reward, no. He is not saying don’t receive the reward. He is saying let that not be the source of inspiration for you.

karmany evadhikaras te ma phalesu kadacana | Your jurisdiction is merely in the execution which is on one time or another measured by the reward. Let the ground for the source of your action….. Let not the ground for the source of your action be the reward. Let the ground for the source of your action be your fighting with non performance. Nobody before, nobody during, nobody after Krishna, can put the essence of the whole life in one verse. Every time when I read this verse or recite this verse, new, new sacred secrets are revealed.

Let me enter into the next level of sacred secret. Karma now I am interpreting this word as action which has not reached perfection. Please understand action which has not reached perfection. When the action reaches the perfection it liberates you, it disappears from the cosmic ocean. Please understand, action is like a ripple effect. When it reaches the boundary it disappears. Any ripple effect when it reaches the boundary it disappears.

Karma is the action which has not reached its extreme, which has not seen the end, which has not seen the perfection. The moment Karma sees the perfection, action reaches its perfection, actions sees the end, it experiences the extreme; suddenly, please understand, suddenly it disappears. For example you throw a stone on a pond. The ripple effect is created. The moment it reaches the end, the moment it reaches the bank, the moment it reaches the perfection, ripple effect disappears. Now the pond swallows the stone and the ripple effect created by the stone. Done! Same way when an engram is thrown on you what is created is Karma. When that reaches its perfection, its extreme end, karma is liberated from you, you are liberated from karma. That is why in all our programs I emphasized so much on completion.

Karma is a unfulfilled action, unfulfilled engram. Please understand its unfulfilled engram. For example you have some strong anger, hiding anger about your parents, about your sister, about your family members. That’s a karma. Now unless you complete it, unless you make it perfect, complete, you will not be relieved from it. At some situation, very difficult situation that engram will come up and it will be so strong. Knowingly you will put yourself in a big mess. Understand, knowingly you will put yourself in big mess. It is not that all the time people put themselves in a big mess unknowingly. No. knowingly you put yourself in a big mess

karmany evadhikaras te ma phalesu kadacana | ma karma-phala-hetur bhur ma te sango stv akarmani ||

Uncompleted, incomplete karmas when they are sitting in you they will be so wild, so strong. They will find some justification, usually they find the justification of comparison. Why, why should I alone be non- violent? He is also violent. Let me be also violent. Only then I can protect myself. Understand, by all your justification you may try to be violent, that is not going to protect you, he will also be in a soup, you will also be in a soup. That’s all. Both of you can swim in the same soup. That is not going to solve your problem. He will also be in a chaos because he is violent; you will also be in a chaos because you are violent. Understand minus plus…. minus plus minus is not plus in the cosmic law. Only in mathematics minus plus minus is plus. No. In the cosmic law it does not apply. Minus into minus is not plus in cosmic law. Minus minus \= minus. Understand just because he does bad karma your bad karma is not justified. Then you come up with something, practicality. What is practicality? No, no, no in this plane this is only possible; then suffer that plane's sufferings.

I have seen people no, no, no what you are talking is great Swamiji but it’s a spiritual plane. People are in normal plane so I have to work in the normal plane. Then you have to have the sufferings of the normal plane also. Then you have to go through all the problems and sufferings of the normal plane. When the disease, problem, sufferings of the normal plane comes then you suddenly you say oh! My whole life I listened to your teachings, I lived you as you showed and I prayed to you. What is this Swamiji? Where am I? Oh god! All that time you had one big weapon called being practical or this plane as a protection from my teachings, that’s a right word I will use. There is a new paint commercials are going. If you paint it on the wall no water will penetrate the wall. They show it. They take the small hand mesh and put that paint all around and pour water and water does not seep, water does not go through the mesh and the fish can stay in that. Same way you have put a special paint quote on you so that my teachings cannot enter into you.

See with these great verses the only trouble is when you are supposed to live it apply it, you say ahhh; for practical purposes, I think I can bend this much. It’s ok. If you are bending for practical purpose means what; this plane of existence. Then suffer all the sufferings of this plane of existence. Be very clear. Karma is actions which have not yet become perfect in you. When you complete them, you are also liberated from that samskara- engram, the engrams are also liberated from you. Understand all bondages are always for both, all liberations are always for both. If it is a bondage, it is for both. If it is a liberation it’s for both.

If you are bound by the karma, karma is also bound by you. If you are liberated from karma, karma is also liberated from you. That is why I am saying every action, completion of the action is really, really, really directly helpful for you, will directly liberate you, will directly lead you to the higher existence.

I feel like every letter of this verse should be engraved in gold. If you have the habit of keeping book of heart and you want the essence of everything, I will really recommend, tattoo this verse on your hand so that every moment you can see ‘ehhh this is what my life is’. Complete every action you take it up; just for completing. Because it is there you have to complete; that’s all. Don’t bother about the rewards. Don’t bother about the results. Don’t bother about anything else. Complete just for completing
