Bhagavad Gita 2nd chapter Sankhya Yoga 38th verse –
“sukha-duhkhe same krtva labhalabhau jayajayau tato yuddhaya yujyasva naivam papam avapsyasi”
“Pleasure and gain, gain and loss, victory and defeat treat them all the same. Do battle for the sake of battle and you shall incur no sin”
“Pleasure and gain, gain and loss, victory and defeat treat them all the same. Do battle for the sake of battle and you shall incur no sin”
Having made pleasure and pain, profit and loss, victory and defeat as the same, prepare for the battle. In this manner, you will not fall in guilt or sin.
One of the greatest sacred secret is very beautifully revealed in this sutra. Bhagavan brings eternity to practicality. Let me be very honest and reveal all the sacred secret in this verse, in this sloka, in this sutra. Usually when you reveal all the sacred secret always there is a dangerous of some people, perverted minds misusing it. that is the reason step by step, very carefully these sacred secret need to be revealed. For example, the science of this atoms - atomic science - criminals, terrorists, rowdies are using the same science to kill people. It could have been a science to supply anything we need for human beings from electricity to everything. All the atomic energy see the time, money, attention, research if we put in the atomic field, if everything was diverted only in the creative area, we would have wiped out poverty from planet earth. Unfortunately, it is getting used by many wrong hands for wrong ambitions. Finally what is happening? It is being used to kill people. It is so unfortunate. It is being used for the wrong purposes. It is so unfortunate. All sacred secrets can be misinterpreted and misused like this. That is why our rishis always emphasize on preparation. Person needs preparation. You need to prepare people to receive the sacred secrets, to receive the sacred truths and live it. Pleasure and pain, gain and loss, victory and defeat treat them all the same. Do battle for the sake of battle and you shall incur no sin. Now itself decide in your mind the understanding and truth which is going to be revealed to you should not be misused by you. See any truth can be used in any way. As I said the atomic power. I can give one more example media power. Some fellows use media power just like atomic power to destroy spirituality, writings from planet earth. For a wrong purpose when these things are used, it is really dangerous! 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 because all you understand in the name of pain and pleasure, victory and defeat, gain an loss is inside the small bubble planet earth! 10 million soap bubbles are there in the air, inside one soap bubble, two hands are fighting, one is claiming the victory over the other, one is dead at the feet, the other one is sitting with the big sword, how long this fellow can celebrate this victory? In few seconds the whole bubble blasted. Both the fellows are dead. Nobody knows who won, who lost! Even in the Maha Bharatha war, I don’t think after the war, the Paandavas 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 this is such a low spectrum. There is no such thing as defeat and victory. There is no such thing gain and loss, there is no such thing pleasure and pain. All the fellows who thought they defeated me, they have disappeared. Nobody knows where they are. Nobody knows where they are because police is searching them all over. Whoever has claimed I was absconding now none of these fellows are there. All of them are absconding. All of you should know just for your information yesterday the Sun TV owner Kalanidhi Maran, Dayanidhi Maran’s house has been raided by CBI! A FIR has been filed on them for so many crimes. They are not to be found. They are not there in their house. I don’t know what will be the next action. And all other fellows who gave false complaint on us none of them are there. All of them disappeared! Tamil Nadu CID is searching for them ☺ What happened to their victory? No. 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 Bhagavan is in ananta sayana, from his navel chord 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 were saying from somewhere like a umbilical cord a kind of 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. Every day at least spend few minutes in remembering this sacred truth – aiy, this whole thing is so small! Remember life is too big at least for 10 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 are all too small. The moment I remember this, I am not even celebrating our victory over this demons, the defeat of this demons. I say alright it is okay, this is the way life is. They try to destroy and they are destroyed. That’s all. It is a simple logic. What is there for us? Let us live our life. What is our mission? Let us do it. Let us do our mission.
“sukha-duhkhe same krtva labhalabhau jayajayau tato yuddhaya yujyasva naivam papam avapsyasi”
Treat them all the same. But I wanted to tell you all. You can’t treat all of them the same directly. No. you try your best, you will be constantly failing. I am revealing the deepest ss. Every day at least few minutes before going to bed and after going to sleep 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 he hugeness of the cosmos. Let you mind absorb, let your mind understand, God! Everything is too big! You see one part of your mind will say – no, no, no. Everything is too big 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 president of America and you are not able to. That is too small! Before going to bed every day at least for 10 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 gain becomes same for you. Gain and loss will be same for you. Victory and defeat will be same for you. The next line the powerful line with this line Bhagavan 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 is like you bring a pure shiny mirror, here they throw all the dust – pleasure, pain, gain and the mirror Loses its quality to reflect, radiate shining. Everybody will naturally 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 and I want to live forever. This is what I call energy. Feeling the 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 is like a when you go in front of a too big guy, you don’t feel like asking 50 paise, or one rupee or a pen or a pencil. You become silent! Asking these things is too petty or too small in front of him. I tell you that is what exactly I feel in front of my consciousness if I ask for anything. Again and again my disciple 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 small. Life is too big, consciousness is too big to have a desire. When I understand, consiousness is too big, the wave raises, the wave life is too good raises in my being. That is what I call energy. Every time 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 cannot stop my existence. This two can come with me as 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 the different tatvas like water, earth, fire, air, ether. My body and mind can rest in diff 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 your life is too small than your love for your body and love for your mind. Unfortunately, your love for life is too small than your life for your body and your love for your mind. You are directing your love in the wrong direction. That is why suffering. You love people who will be constantly torturing 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 does everything Swamiji. He drinks, he smokes, he womanizes and sometime he even brings STDs to her, he beats her. I ask then why do you still live with him? Why do you love and live with him? She says no, no I need a security of a 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 around. Your mind is like this husband. This fellow goes around, he drinks, smokes, fantasizes, gets the fear, gets insecured and brings the STDs back. What is STD? All the sufferings, pains which comes to you with association of the mind. This fellow goes around, creates fantasies that is what is having affair. Gets frightened - means getting some STD and does everything. Drinks - falling into delusion, that is 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 like 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.
When your body and mind are tired, they will retire and go back to their source. What is the source of the body? Maybe the water, fire, earth, air. They will all go back. But you will continue to exist. Whenever I feel too much after eating. See usually I try to control my diet. But sometime these devotees for their pride they will dump everything in the plate and tell - oh you should not waste it in the plate. Whenever I feel I am not able to digest the food which I ate, I will just sit with this one concept only – life is too big. Larger than my body and mind. In 10 minutes I have seen always stomach has digested the whole thing! Please understand, I am telling you the practical use, utility value of this truth. Of course, this truth directly leads you to the enlightenment. That is different. But I am telling you even direct utility is there. If any of you have a stomach pain, stomach problem and feeling that you are not able to digest whatever you ate, don’t go for some chemicals, the digestive juice, chemicals and all that. Just sit with this one concept – aiy, my life is too big than my body and mind. If I am running at one point my body and mind will fall, disappear into the nature. But I will continue to run, I will continue to exist. In my history, my body and mind is one chapter. That is not all. That is only one chapter. If you just sit with this idea. See you should have this concept of manana. Sitting with these truths and analyzing, ironing it out and feeling, looking how it fits with your life. How it settles with your life. Trying to answer all the logical questions arises in you when you sit with certain idea. Trying to logically internalize these great truths. That is what I call manana contemplation. Unfortunately, we never do manana. When we listen, either we believe or we don’t listen and throw it away, shut the door! Both are pseudo. If you believe just because I say tomorrow for some reason if you Lose faith on me, all the ideas you received from me, you Lose faith on all those ideas also.
Unless you do manana it will never become part of you, your property. If you reject the moment you are listening then of course you are a Loser. If you just keep it in your inside system because I said with belief or faith, suddenly for some reason, unfortunately, if you lose little faith or belief on me, at some point for some other reason also, all these great truths will lose its power on you. It will not be useful to you anymore. The whole thing will tumble down. Like Durvasa cursins Karna – you fellow you cheated me. All the things I taught you, you will forget it. Durvasa cursed, sorry, Parasurama cursed Karna saying all the things I taught you, you will forget when you really need it. God! What a curse! If Parasurama said all the things I thought you, you will forget now, at least it is okay because Karna will not take any big risk trusting this intelligence. See Karna would not have gone to war if he knows he does not have a Brahmastra given by Parasurama. He learnt all the technique of Brahmastra everything from Parasurama. If Parasurama would have cursed – aiy! You will forget everything now. Then naturally what Karna would have done? He knows, no he doesn’t have Brahmastra but Arjuna has Brahmastra let us not try unnecessarily fighting with Arjuna. He would have at least known very clearly.
Parasurama did not do that. He technically cursed you will forget when you really need it. It means till that moment you will think you are having it and you can make all the decisions based on the idea you are having Brahmastram. God! That is what exactly will happen to all the fellows who abused the Guru. Exactly when they need it, it will not be there! Guru’s grace or blessings or all the things you received. In ordinary life you will think – aiy, I know I have all the tools and weapons to handle the life given by Nithyananda. It is there. Now I don’t need Nithyananda. Come on, bash him. There was a time bashing Nithyananda was a fashion! All tick, tom and jerry, dirty donkeys were all commenting on me. I am waiting. In few days I am just collecting everything and will sit and give a proper reply to all these fellows. Maybe I will sit 2 days and video record my reply to all these fellows! All this tom, dick and jerry, I am really surprised. This Tejasvini one Kannada news reader. She was an MP. I don’t know what right, what moral right this girl and all is having to talk about me? Aiy, in Tamil Nadu one fellow is there Bhagyaraj, one cinema actor, such a perverted third rate fellow! All these fellows are commenting on me. Monkeys and donkeys are all started talking about me because there was a time bashing Nithyananda was a fashion. Anyhow, all these fellow should know exactly when they need, whatever they received from me will not be there. When I say whatever they received from me, I mean whatever they received from ME - capital letter ME not small letter me! It will not be there. Foolish fellows. That is the worst punishment. What to do? A human mind is so cheap. It brings all sufferings to you but still oh my mind, my body! As I told you the exactly that city slum lady example that story that’s what I will give as a exact story or example for the relationship between you and your body mind. Just because some one or two things your body mind gives, you go on loving it more than your very existence, your very life. Today sit and contemplate on this one truth - your life is too big than your body mind. Your love for your life should be stronger than for your love for your body mind. Only then even after your body mind drops, you will continue to exist. Don’t forget you are something more than your body and mind.
“sukha-duhkhe same krtva labhalabhau jayajayau tato yuddhaya yujyasva naivam papam avapsyasi”
Sit for few minutes with this one truth – my life is larger than my body and mind. My pleasure, pain, gain, loss, victory, defeat all of them are smaller than my life. My love for my life should be more than for my love for my body mind, my pleasure gain, pain, loss, victory defeat. Sit with this one truth. Contemplate on it.
I bless you all who are sitting with us in 711 places through eNtv, 12 places 2 way Nayana Deeksha, in 118 cities in 21 countries!
