(00:01) Let’s enter into today’s Satsang. In Bhagavad Gita, Sankhya Yoga, 2nd chapter, 46th verse -

“yavan artha udapane sarvatah samplutodake tavan sarvesu vedesu brahmanasya vijanatah”

“A sage who has known the self as little use for the Vedic scriptures as these are like a pool of water in a place which is already in flood!”

New translation – “The whole purpose of the well is fulfilled when there is water flooding from all sides. Similarly to a seeker who has already realized all the complete sacred knowledge gets fulfilled!”

(2:34) Please understand as I said Bhagavan is talking here about the highest goal. Let me give you one example. Your tongue it is enjoying the pleasure by ordinary thing like a sugar, sweet. Sometimes you may try to do get nectar for that same tongue so that you can have more pleasure. But I tell you the ultimate pleasure will start happening once you are able to make your tongue experience intense pleasure without anything from outside touching it. Please understand your tongue, tasting ordinary sugar or sweet is materialistic life - you go in that direction that is materialistic life. You try to do some homa, ritual and get heavenly nectar and feed the tongue. It enjoys that. That can be called as Karma Kanda – actions for the higher pleasures like heaven, Indra loka, Chandra loka – different planes. But that can never be the ultimate. The ultimate is if you are able to make the tongue experience the joy, pleasure without anything from outside touching it, coming in contact with then your tongue is in eternal bliss. I don’t know how you will be able to understand, because I brought my awareness to the tongue and I am uttering with this word, already the whole that zone my Vishuddhi zone is in ecstasy!

(05:15)If you are addicted to Gongura chutney and if just remember the gongura, how your tongue feels I can say 1000 times more my tongue is feeling now. Not any craving, but the experience of fulfillment. You don’t need any object. Even memory of object. Forget about the object even the memory of the object. Now I am not even feeling the ecstasy by the memory of the object. But I am feeling the ecstasy by the memory of my inner fulfillment which is there all the time. These are the three level -

Tongue \+ sugar or sweet is the materialistic life, tongue \+ nectarian, a heavenly nectar is a heavenly life or karma kanda Poorva Meemaamsa, tongue \+ ability to be in bliss without any object from outside ..

Bhagavan emphasizes the greatness of the third way of living. He is emphasizing the third concept of living.

(06:54)He is teaching us the ultimate Yoga. The eternal power of Yoga. Yoga’s extraordinary power. Jnana and Yoga merges in this third experience. Please understand, Yoga also speaks about this Karma Kanda. That is what we call as Siddhis. When you are doing certain pranayamas you get extraordinary powers, extraordinary senses, extraordinary organs Please understand you even grow extra organs in your body. It is not just the same tongue you experience. No. something gets added. It is not that physically things are not changing. When you go through a certain pranayamas the very body, physical body goes through a change. Extra organs are added to your system. The ability to experience gets added. But all those things are only temporary. Bhagavan is talking about the ultimate here. He is educating people, he is explaining the true Yoga. Right yogic experience.

{8:57} Brigadaranyaka Upanishad has a beautiful verse. Sage Yagnavalika, the great saint. One of the rishis names which appears in Vedas. Very rare somebody’s name appearing in Vedas. I can say maximum only handful of names are appearing in Vedas. Not more than that. Especially in Upanishads, very rare names appearing. Yagnavalika his name is mentioned. He is talking to his wife and disciple Maitreyi. Maitreyi is another extraordinary personality. Only 2-3 women names have appeared in Vedas especially in Upanishads. Maitreyi is one. He is giving a very beautiful teaching -

“Atmanasthu kamaya sarvam priyam bhavathi!” The meaning is “all else is dear to us for the sake of the self alone.” Let me explain. See you feel your beloved is very dear to you because your beloved whenever you spend time with her or him, he or she puts you back to yourself, your-self. Why do you love her so much? Because whenever you sit with her, for some reason she puts you back into your self. Why do you love him so much. Whenever you sit with him, he puts you back into yourself so much. Why do you think even the people who don’t accept what I am teaching, people who don’t believe in what I am teaching, always try their best to catch even a glimpse of me and to spend time around me. I know thousands of fellows who doesn’t have a guts to come and see me directly are sitting with this eNtv. Even the fellows who are working with the enemy camp, opposite camp secretly they sit with the eNtv. It is like a secret addiction. Why? Because whether they know it or not, I put you back to yourself!

“Atmanasthu kamaya sarvam priyam bhavathi”

Constantly I remind you, constantly I put you back to yourself. I tell you for the person who is feeling connected, who has a vidarka, nothing else can give more joy. There is no other heavenly pleasure except this sitting everyday with master - soaking into that knowledge, into that experience. Even once in a week if you sleep off, 6 days other 6 days you are there alive soaking yourself into this bliss, into this knowledge, into this jnana.

{12:42} See in those days when I used to read Rama Krishna’s books they will write that people come from all the way to Calcutta everyday to sit at his feet for half an hour. Sometime he may not even talk, sometime he may talk, sometime he may sing, sometime he may jump. Same way when I read about Ramana Maharshi, people who used to come from all over Bharat and all over the world to sit at his feet. Forget about talking, Bhagavan may not even come and sit at the place where he is usually giving Darshan. He will be sitting in the kitchen and cutting vegetables. He will go for a walk on the Arunachala mountain, will never come down. But hundreds used to sit waiting for his presence. I used to wonder, aiy what is there? You know what he is teaching, you practice that and have the experience. After all I am a guy Guruless. So never understood. And same way when I read Osho’s books, I used to read people will flock from all over the world not one or two thousands will gather around him everyday morning just to sit in his presence for maybe few hours. Morning 1, 1 ½ hours he will talk. Whole day they will be doing some service or other staying in the place where he is waiting for the next day morning. All of them get only one thing - 1-1 ½ hour his presence and whatever he talks. Remaining whole day they just do some service, waiting for the next morning to appear. I used to think what is the need? I never understood. Only now I understand when the same thing is repeating in my life. From all over the world people gather just for only one thing - morning 1 hour or 1 ½ hour I sit and say whatever I want – dagadaga dugudugu. That’s all. But now I know the reason. This verse the Brigadaranyaka Upanishad’s verse

“Atmanasthu kamaya sarvam priyam bhavathi”

This verse is the reason why thousands gather and sit even if there are other thousand reasons why they should not be here. See for the many people who come here, the food is new, people are new, cultural shock and I am not even very presentable for universally in secularistic way like Osho or even Ramana Maharshi. All of them are very presentable for the non-religious secular spiritual people. I don’t even have that plus point. I have all the deities all around me.

{17:06} I am not talking about Bhagavad Gita like a Oxford professor, Harvard professor talking. They all talk Bhagavad Gita as a management book. Of course I do give the management techniques, solutions embedded in Bhagavad Gita. But I am not talking in a secularistic way so that all over the world people can understand and appreciate me immediately. No I am having Krishna next to me. Every sentence I am using the word Bhagavan, Bhagavan, Bhagavan! BG has two component – a portable knowledge – management technique, political strategy planning, techniques for health, Bhagavan is even talking, teaching how to sleep which is useful for many of you guys now! ☺ Portable knowledge. Non portable is his presence, his glory where he says I am everything – his Vishvarupa Darshana. I am not talking just only the portable Gita part. I am very clear. I am talking Krishna’s Gita, Bhagavan’s Gita. I challenge these so called secular Gurus if they are honest about what they are teaching, they should take the responsibility of bringing the non portable component of the Vedic Tradition also to life. I am not even presentable to the so called international, universal, secular, seeker crowd. I am not secular. I am very clear about it. we respect all religions, we respect all traditions, we accept and welcome all their life styles. That does not mean we give up our strength.

{20:25}I am based, established and rooted in Vedic Tradition that is the reason I accept all traditions. I am not even presentable to the so called universal seekers. See the make up with which I am sitting. Rudraksha all over my body, the kumkuma, turban and the and the orange robe. You see the orange robe belongs to Vedic Vedanta Sampradaya. This Kumkum belongs to Shakta Sampradaya, the peacock feather belongs to Vaishnava sampradaya, this rudraksha belongs to Shaiva sampradaya. But rooted completely in the Vedic tradition. Anybody first time when he looks at me in the Youtube or directly if he is a seeker, the mystical connection will happen. If he is just a spiritual shopper, so called secular he will run away! That is what I also want. But with all this negative points, sometime I wonder why again & again people from all over the world gather? To sit either physically or virtually. The only reason I can say – “Atmanasthu kamaya sarvam priyam bhavathi!” whether you know it or not, again and again I am pushing you to yourself alone! Every contemplation, every manana I am teaching you, every dhyana you do, puts your whole energy directly towards the source. That’s the reason, again & again people get attracted.

{23:18}I tell you everything whether it is ordinary sweet or a music or a visual anything you enjoy, you again and again feel attracted, feel connected only when it puts you again and again into yourself. for example, 10th time when I eat a sweet, if it is not putting you into your-self, you just move away from that sweet. If it is putting you again and again into your-self, you are addicted to it. I tell you even marijuana puts you into the perverted glimpse of self. See when you experience Atman, you experience some 4-5 extraordinary expressions in you. In that 4-5 maybe one or two is shown to you in a little perverted way by the marijuana. One of the perversion is you need to use more and more to get into the same state. For example, if you are using today one unit to get into that state, one unit of marijuana. After 10 days you may have to use 2 unit. After one month you may have to use 4 unit. It increases. Not only that it destroys your health. But in meditation process when you start, you may need to meditate for half an hour or one hour to get into a silent state, self centred, the awareness, unclutching, nirvikalpa. After a month the time will reduce. After 2 years or something, the moment you remember you are in that settled mood! The moment you remember you are in centered. You say relax, okay, nice!

{25:48} “Smarana matrena nirvikalpa svarupam” – just by remembrance the unclutching nirvikalpa. The unclutching leads, unclutching happens as Nirvikalpa Samadhi in you just by remembrance. But even marijuana people become addicted because in a perverted way, in a round a bout way it puts you back into the glimpse of self! So understand, Bhagavan is very clear in this verses of Bhagavad Gita – go for realization. When you go for realization, Indra loka, Chandra loka, heavenly abode, yaga, yagna all the rituals necessary for all that, you go beyond all that. Everything of that gets fulfilled. Nothing else is required.

{27:48} Let’s enter into the next verse. In Bhagavad Gita Sankhya Yoga, 2nd chapter, 47th verse –

“karmany evadhikaras te ma phalesu kadacana ma karma-phala-hetur bhur ma te sango 'stv akarmani”

I need to give a introduction about this verse. This verse from Bhagavad Gita is the verse I would have used maximum number of times in my life whether to tell myself or to tell others. Even if the whole Gita is lost in some tsunami if this one verse can be retained somewhere written on a rock or a cave or a stone, this has happened. This has happened earlier in Kashmiri Shaivism. All the scriptures were getting destroyed by the Muslim invasion. Some of the acharyas have written the essence, pure techniques and sutras in a cave on the wall. They carved it and left it. After long time, some seekers who were going there in search of some saints and siddhas accidentally found that cave and took those verses out. That is what now you are studying as Shiva Sutras. Just the few verses carved in the secret cave now can become a path for millions! Same way, even if the whole all the truths Bhagavan is expressing through this Bhagavad Gita, even if everything is lost. I tell you if this one verse is retained.

“karmany evadhikaras te ma phalesu kadacana ma karma-phala-hetur bhur ma te sango 'stv akarmani”

The whole Bhagavad Gita is retained nothing else is required.

{32:22} Let me give you the translation -

“You have a right only to work, but never to the outcome. Let not the outcome be your motive. But do not move into inaction!”

“Your jurisdiction is merely in the execution which is at one time or another measured by the reward. Let not the ground for the source of your action be the reward. Let your fight with non-performance be the standard of measure!” – my own new translation.

I can just tell you take this verse and write this 1008 times in your book of heart. Do this as a tapas –

“Your jurisdiction is merely in the execution which is at one time or another measured by the reward. Let not the ground for the source of your action be the reward. Let your fight with non-performance be the standard of measure!”

{33:53} First one truth I will explain. When your actions are based on the reward you get. Please understand, I will give you the example, every month you get 10,000 dollars paid. So all the actions you perform for the 30 days the final reward is 10,000 dollar. You are working for it. Your mind is such within few days, you will feel that reward is too low for your performance. Even suddenly if it raises to 100, 000 dollar per month, within next few days, you will feel it is too low for your actions. Too less reward. Mind by its nature constantly makes you feel all the reward you get is too less. Even if you get this whole world, you will feel it is too less for your very existence. You don’t need to do anything. Just because you are here, you are breathing, you feel the whole world is supposed to be at your feet. That is the way mind works. It is so unfortunate. The next step is the most unfortunate thing. When you feel, see feeling any reward you get is less than your performance, you are getting less than what you are offering to society. That is the first problem, disturbance. The 2nd thing immediately what happens - you start reducing your performance. If you are a software engineer, when you are in office you are supposed to work you are browsing some porn website or you are just spending your time on some other work.

{36:27} Why? Because you feel aiy this fellow is paying only 10,000 dollar to me, it is too less for what I am giving to this company, to this person. Let me reduce what I am doing. Your expression, your creativity, your expansion is reducing. You are not understanding you are angry with your boss for paying less but you are punishing yourself by reducing your creativity, by putting you in more and more laziness. By reducing your expansion, your life. See when you are performing less you are getting into a pattern, set up. After you perform less continuously for 3-4 months, you will start believing that is your capacity. That is your capacity, it is so unfortunate. You are angry with your boss, you want to punish him but you drink the poison! By you drinking the poison, you are not going to punish him. Don’t be foolish! It is so unfortunate that people start disturbing, destroying their own creativity, productivity. Just because they are angry with the person who is paying them back. I am giving you one example. Look into your life everything, everything, everything moves just with this concept of return. It is so unfortunate. Because you feel that the person who is paying back needs to be punished, you reduce your creativity which is end of the day punishment for yourself. I am giving one example of the boss. I can give you the other example in a expanded way. Slowly you become angry with the whole life. You feel your wife is not giving you the love back which you are giving. To your children the love you are offering, they are not giving back. Whatever you are offering to your friend, you feel he is not responding back. Whatever you are giving to society, you feel society is not giving you back.

{39:35} So many people told me what is this Swamiji? You served the society so much. Finally see what the society has given you back – only abusal and punishments. I told them that is not going to be the reason I am going to stop what I am offering. I am going to increase what I am offering. I am not going to punish myself. I am very clear. Understand, when you are angry with the friends, angry with family, angry with the society, you stop radiating love. It is so unfortunate, when you stop radiating love you are punishing yourself. You get into a mental set up, a trend, personality. I tell you. 2 months if all your actions are based on calculation, 3rd month you will believe that much only is your capacity. Just try for 2 months without planning or calculating how much you are getting back, go on giving love, courtesy, help, service. Decide. Please understand 100% of you are in a frozen prison of this calculation of giving and taking. Functioning based on this calculation of what I receive. I call that mental set up as a prison. This functioning is called prison! I tell you break this prison. You will feel real freedom.

{42:07} I have seen this prison in my life. I am not talking about outer world prison, the inner world prison. I have seen this life in my young age I still remember. Once Kuppamal she had a book the ‘Kootartha Deepika’ is one of the beautiful commentary of Bhagavad Gita – the translation of that book in Tamil. Published in 1917. Just yesterday, I came up with the book. But it is not the same copy, same print. Same edition. The moment I picked up that book, I remembered - Oh God! Because when she used to read and teach me, I never saw the year and publication. I know how it looks and how it feels. I know it is a old book. It’s a Tamil translation of Kootartha Deepika. She will read and explain. The one and only verse she explained and made me practice continuously and followed it up is this verse! I also want to follow whether you are practicing this verse.

{43:51}Take this very seriously. Decide for next 48 days – one mandala. Mandala means 48 days. 48 days you go on giving whatever you can without bothering about whether the other person is reciprocating or not, without expecting reciprocation from the opposite side. Your time, your energy, your understand, your love, your help, whatever you can give, whatever way you can radiate your creativity. Understand, I am not saying only in voluntary service. I am saying even in your regular job. Whether your job in which you are getting money as paid, money as a salary or some smile, support that as a reward, whatever it may be. See whole day whether you are doing your paid job, job for which your you are paid, or you are doing some voluntary service or you are giving your love to the family, in every moment decide for two months, I will go to my extreme, for 48 days I will go to my extreme without bothering about how the other person is responding or reciprocating.

{45:40} I challenge, I am really challenging you - in this 48 days till 3rd December of 2011 – in this 48 days, you will be at least 3 times more energetic, alive and intelligent that you are now. I can give you how to become at least 3 times better than you. Because you are caught with this one mental set up. See this is what the first thing you learn in your life. How much you are given back, only give that much. It is a huge unconscious net, where all the fishes which are souls are caught. Maya is the fisherman, this giving only how much you feel you are receiving is the net, all of you souls are the fish. He is catching. If you get caught in the net, you are bound. One day he will just take you out of the water and eat. That’s all. Break from this one net. The moment your mind is unconsciously planning aiy he reciprocates only this much. Why should i? Understand, visualize you are in the net. You are in the net thrown by maya.

{47:36} Bhagavan says beautifully - “Let your fight with non-performance be the standard of measure.” You may then ask, how can I work? I need some inspiration to work. Your fighting with the non performance, your fighting with the shrinking feeling, your fighting with the laziness, your fighting with the non-creativity be the source of inspiration for you to live! People always tell no, no, no if the reward is not the source of my reason for performance, why should I perform? If I should not expect result, why should I perform? Understand perform to break free from the inherent laziness you are carrying, inherent tendency of shrinking, inherent tendency of non-performance. Yesterday night I had a sitting with a group of Ashramites. They were saying something about happening in the ashram. They were referring to one devotee in the ashram and said what a high intense worker he is! Whole day he alive and all that they were saying. Then I asked why others are not able to perform? This guy said that is what we are not able to understand Swamiji why others are not able to do the same thing.

{49:25} I told them main reason is - first thing you need to do in your life is the decision to live and expand. Unfortunately for most of the human beings, life is a forced happening on them. Okay, life is dumped on me, this is the situation, okay. Dragging. First thing, decide to live. Will to live! Decide I am going to live in every dimension of my life. I will create wealth, I will create health for me, I will create mental happiness for me, I will create beautiful loving people around me. Understand you can transform anybody into a loving being by your love! Love is like a phosphorous. The moment you put that on anything, it completely burns that. How phosphorous converts anything into its own. You drop phosphorous on anything, it will burn that and convert the whole thing into itself. Same way love, love is like a fire. Drop on anybody it will convert the person also into love. I will go on expanding on this one verse at least for next few days. Because this verse is essence of Raja Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Karma Yoga, Dhyana Yoga and all Yogas. This verse is the essence of all Yogas. If you want to be a Yogi just remember this one verse! If any of you want to tattoo on your body any one spiritual teaching so that which you can constantly remember. I will prescribe this one verse. This tattooing the spiritual ideas is becoming fashion in the modern days. I saw so many people tattoing ‘Om’. Different different things. If you want to tattoo on your body any one spiritual teaching, essence of all Upanishads, Vedas, all masters and essence of my teachings everything put together, if you want to tattoo on your body, I will prescribe this one verse –

“karmany evadhikaras te ma phalesu kadacana ma karma-phala-hetur bhur ma te sango 'stv akarmani”

{53:30} Tattoo this one verse. Tattoo it in your right hand so that you will see it again and again. This one thing if it becomes part of your life, you are liberated! Whether you do pranayama, whether you do Yoga, whether you share your time with some people, whether you work in the office, whether you work out in the gym or you share your love with the family, in every situation you are stopped, you are binding yourself, you are controlling yourself, you are lowering yourself just with the one idea am I getting back, am I getting back, am I getting back. If you are working out two days then you see – wow, if the muscle is not happening – oh! Then it is not happening. Let me reduce. Constantly in every step you lower yourself, you bind yourself. Whether it is your job, or it is your sadhana or it is your love, whether it is in the line of physical health or mental health or relationship or creating wealth or your fulfillment, in every line you stop with this one wrong mental set up. Stopping because you feel you are not getting enough reward. Anything you get, you are going to feel you are not getting enough. Break from this one mental set up. I tell you, you will explode into enlightenment!

“karmany evadhikaras te ma phalesu kadacana ma karma-phala-hetur bhur ma te sango 'stv akarmani”

{55:54} Don’t punish yourself because you are angry with the person who is paying you. Sit with this one sacred secret from this verse. But this verse is a huge treasure trove. Every day I am going to get more and more treasure out of this one verse. I am going to speak some more days on this same verse. Today sit with this one truth. Let me not punish myself because I have anger on the people who reward me back. Let me not disturb my expression or creativity. Sit straight. Close your eyes and awaken this truth. Contemplate on this one truth. What all the ways you are reducing your capabilities, your expression, your creativity because you feel you don’t get rewarded.

I bless all of you sitting with us at this moment in 662 places through eNtv, in 11 places through 2 way Nayana Deeksha, in 220 cities, 20 countries. Today is 50th day of Bhagavad Gita Satsang! ☺

Let you all achieve, experience, live, express and radiate and share the eternal bliss Nithyananda. Thank you!
