And I have two good news for you guys. One, Russia court rejected the application for banning Bhagavad Gita. It was actually the filed by a group linked to Christian orthodox church. Court has rejected the petition dismissed the petition and in Russia Bhagavad Gita will not be banned. Of course surely we have not made this happen. Please understand, it is not done by us. We are too small dust. Our protest is too small.

We have not done any great favour to Krishna or Gita by doing our protest. We only offered our humble gratitude and courage at the feet of Krishna. That’s it. Understand, by all our actions we showed our courage to Krishna. We offered that as a flower at his feet. We showed our gratitude to Krishna. That’s it. Actually we have grown. This is the way all spiritual mission is. When you are part you are growing. Don’t think someway the organization should be grateful to you.

Second good news is….yesterday some thieves have come and stolen. I told in the morning satsang itself, the moment police comes I’ll tell them where it is. Exactly they went and got it…got the whole thing. Actually, in the morning satsang itself during the five minutes break, I called our administration structuring department and told exactly where it is. I described the village and the streets and the house and the outside how it looks…next to the house there is a well. Whole thing I described very detailedly. They went and simply they went and got the whole thing and came back.

Only this mangal sutra because it is a small object this fellow has hidden somewhere else. So that they are tracing. All other things are big objects like a kavacham, and everything. So that and all he could not hide. So they simply went and brought the whole thing. Kavacham, the hundi, and all other things. Everything he took…the whole thing in one place, they got the whole thing and brought it back. And we told the…… I told my structuring department to tell the police so this is what is….. this is where it is and….they will naturally ask how do you know that…don’t tell Swamiji told in the vision and all that. Just say that some pujari had a dream…. Shiva appeared and told, something like that you manage. Don’t give them too…after that they said then we can use that pujari for all our other cases also. They don’t know who is the pujari.

Anyhow…ahh…they went and got the whole thing back. Not a single item is missed. Only that mangal sutra because it is a small thing, they have taken it somewhere else. They are keeping it…they have not kept it in the house. Those fellows have taken it…… it is not there in the house. All other things, simply they brought the whole thing. Poor fellows. If they have, that one day if they worked somewhere else at least they would have got their wage. And after all, stealing, they are coming to such a wrong place.

Actually the shock was for the police. Because precise instruction was given. Village, street, the next, this side that side street instruction, and the house and the outside how it looks and the all the …you don’t need to think or bother at all. Then they came back and asked the..they have not able to find the gunny bag and all that. That is in the well…..go and see in the well, it is there. They went and saw and brought it.

Anyhow, see it is not even the gold or silver and all that…it is lot of sentiment. It’s the, we worship that. It’s a object associated with our sacred sentiments. And moreover who wants them climbing on the deity. I don’t think they would have climbed decently and all. They would have put their foot and naturally…and they wouldn’t have smoothly removed that mangal sutra. They would have just snatched. So only these things were really hurting.

Not other than…what is there in that gold or silver….somebody will give and we will out it again. It will be there. And its not…yesterday itself…….I don’t know Vedswaroopa knows this and brought the silver or…..yesterday he brought the silver. So whatever was stolen even if we have not got it back, Vedaswaroopa brought one bar silver…I thought alright, make with this and put it on Dakshinarmurthy…that’s all.

Anyhow, it is not the value of gold or silver, it is the value of our sacred sentiments. Lets enter into todays satsang. In Bhagavad Gita, third chapter, karma yoga 23rd verse.

VERSE CHANTED

SWAMIJI READS VERSE

Translation. For instance, O’ Partha, if at all I do not choose to be productive with alertness, then human beings will completely follow the path of being unproductive on my basis. Bhagavan is very clear. He says Partha, if at all I do not choose to be productive with alertness, see, just because I have nothing more to achieve, if I just decide to lie down, no productive, no alertness, then human beings will completely follow what I am doing as the path of being unproductive on my basis.

Few years before I had one fellow inside the ashram as brahmachari. He used to tell me, Swamiji, now you have so much of money, why don’t you just sell all these land and put it in the bank and have a big house with a swimming pool and lie down and rest. We will also live with you happily. We can all just eat, lie down and rest. Looks very wonderful idea. But I tell you, in three months this fellows will start fighting who will lie down near the pool, who will lie down far away from the pool. Just because you have shelter, food and everything is there, don’t think you will be in peace. I know how the cheap mind will function.

I have seen so many cheap minds. Even after that they will create problem. Ahh..this fellow is sitting closer to Swamiji. I am sitting far away. Not only that, something, somewhere….becasue they can’t be without suffering. Suffering is in a waypart and parcel of their life. See, suffering does not happen by the outer karanas, reasons. The reasons of the outer does not bring suffering. It is the frequency in which you live. That is responsible for suffering.

Yathi ahyam navartheyam…….Bhagavan says very beautifully if he does not work…….you see, for example, he has nothing to achieve. He could have just be lying down in Duaraka. Nobody whether Gauravas nor Pandavas will dare to go near Duaraka for fight. He could have been just lying down in Duaraka. Why he came all the way to Kurukshetra and being part of the war. If Bhagavan was lying in Duaraka itself, without being part of this, naturally we would also wouldn’t have protested ban against the Bhagavad Gita….Aii ……Bhagavan himself was lying that is the pose to be done. Now even if they ban the Bhagavad Gita, what is there for us. Let us all have a big couch and lie down.

Then whole Hinduism would have been couchism. What is our routine? Morning get up, eat, lie down. Then again when your body moves out of hunger, again eat and lie down. Again when your body wants to clean itself, don’t move too much your body, adjust and make the hole there itself, properly in your bed. Clean, and then again lie down. People used to ask me, especially in my native place, Thiruvannamalai. This dirty minds they always questioned me….why Bhagavan was always silent, lying in samadhi, resting in samadhi. Why are you so active? God this fellows they think they know more about Bhagavan than me.

No really. This fellows they think they know more about, about Bhagavan than me. He is workaholic. See, whenever they took photograph, see, photography entered his life in a very late. Because those days when he was young there was no photography. Only when he was old there was photography. When he was old naturally he had the habit of lying down during the darhsan. So because all his photographs shows he was lying, they thought whole life he was lying down. No, that is the big problem. And it is so unfortunate, people do not understand, the amount of words he has written by his own hands.

And the amount of work he has done. Unimaginable. I used to give many instances. Everyday he will go to kitchen and literally cook like every worker. There are two three buildings in Ramana ashram which was built by hand by him. He built it. And when the publication department started, when people send money for books, he will parcel books. And when the proof reading comes, proofs come, he will sit and go through every line. Everyday morning he will get up read newspaper. Those days only one or two daily, one in Tamil, one in English may be available in Thiruvannamalai. Maximum I am saying

So he will get one copy of Tamil newspaper and English newspaper and read, then have his washing, cleaning and everything and then go for the…go to his mother Samadhi, then go to the kitchen, and do his morning routine, cooking, cleaning the vessels, everything. You see, problem is just because in future all my photographs and videographs are going to be…90% of them are going to be while I am sitting and talking. Then the, you guys will say that Swmaiji was doing only talking his whole life. Arry …that was the part videorecorded, photographed and and polularised. Same way, many of his pictures are taken in the darshan hall where he had the habit of lying down. Just because of that will you tell that whole life he was lying down.

No. He was not a lazy guy. It was not that he was lying down whole day. No. Understand,through this verse Bhagavan is saying even if you are enlightened being or an incarnation, continue to work. He says very clearly, even if enlightened beings if they stop working, world will start following that mould, because world is waiting for something wrong to be done by enlightened beings. So that they can justify now all their actions with that.

Ramakrishna used to eat only once, noon time. Sharada Devi will eat only once, in the night time, Vivekananda will eat only once morning time. One Ramakrishna Mission sadhu told me I follow Ramakrishan, Vivekananda, Sharadha Devi, all three. And just because Vivekananda used to smoke, still, many Ramakrishna mission sadhus smoke. Ahh….i am following Takkur…sri Ramakrishna…..why, he became enlightened, why don’t you follow that. Vivekananda did so much of good work. Why don’t you follow that.

In those days he was master of philosophy. He was not an ordinary. Understand he is not just an ordinary orator. He has not got, I don’t think he has got any degrees, big big degrees and all that. But master in philosophy. Almost all available philosophies of those days. Whether it is Eastern or western he has mastered. Nine, just nine years of public life. 32 he was in, he came to public, 39 he passed away, that’s all. 40 I think…..40 he passed away. But he has not seen 40. Totally 9 years.

Beginning of the 32 he came to the public life, when the 32 was starting. When the, beginning of the 40, he left the body. Totally 9 years, little less than nine years maybe. That’s all his public life is. In that nine years what he wrote, what he spoke, its available as a 9 volumes. Complete works of swami Vivekananda. To master that I tell you will take at least ten years for you guys. Just to read and understand what he did in 9 years…..will take 10 years.

I can say more than 10 years. Powerful work. Unfortunately we don’t want to follow the complicated things done by enlightened beings. Just wait, watch, follow exactly what we want. We wait. So that we can justify. Through this sutra, you need to understand three things. One, don’t do just what masters do, do what they say. Because what you need to do for your frequency they may not be doing from their frequency. What they are doing in their frequency may not be good if you do from your frequency.

SWAMI READS VERSE IN SANSKRIT

Human mind……if incarnations and masters do not engage in work, with alertness, being productive with alertness, then human beings will completely follow the same thing. The whole humanity will be just lazy bums. Not being useful to themself and to society. I tell you laziness is the poison out of which all the worst things happen. All the worst things expresses from that one poison called laziness. So I just wanted to repeat this verse

SWAMIJI READS VERSE IN SANSKRIT

For instance, O’ Partha, if at all I do not choose to be productive with alertness, then human beings will completely follow the path of being unproductive on my basis. Continuously be productive, constantly share all the great things you have with the world. If you have the body, use this body to do good to the world, if you have mind, use that to do good to the world, if you have wealth, use that to do good to the world. Every capacity you have, use that to do good to the world. Every skill you have use that to do good to the world. Continuously be productive. Let your every breath be productive. Let your every action be productive. Lets enter into the next segment of the moring satsang dial the avatar.

Lets start the kriya. Anthasana. That’s the first step. In this anthasana, brhamari kumbhaka. This will completely cure all the problems related to the ears and the sound. Please go to anthasana, in anthasana brahmari kumbhaka. Brahmari kumbhaka, let me give you the instructions. Inhale rapidly with the sound of black bee, hold as long as you can, exhale slowly with the sound of the black bee. Do this for 21 minutes.
