Questions & Answers

Dear Swamiji, How do we measure the ethical or moral climate of a company, and what is the dashboard? What kind of a forum or process could we create that would allow individuals to freely share and discuss ethical dilemmas? Kindly explain. - Frank Mueller, Germany

{Coroporate Concept}

Frank Mueller, first you need to understand, end of the life is, being a high achiever. You never ever become high achiever when you are not built on a foundation of a higher ethics. Your ethical principles create the foundation on which your personality is built. Understand, if the ethical foundations are not strong, even a small shake will send a tremor in you. The building will shake. Earthquakes, mind quake, emotional quake - you become a quake! I tell you, my strength is nothing but my clear ethics. I am very clear about what I want, what I am going to offer to people, what I expect from people, what I expect from the cosmos, what I am going to offer to the cosmos. I am very clear experientially. I tell you, every individual should understand his position, not only related to the company and team, he should understand his position in a broader context related to the society and the universe in which he is living. Please understand, unless you are clearly settled about yourself within the broader contexts like society and universe, you will be constantly shattered by even a small thought and small friction by your team. If you have identity and settled feeling only with your family and your team in your office, any small attack outside your office and team will shake you. Let me give you an example. If you settle with a few identities - I am son of this person, father of this person, wife, of this person, manager of this team, subordinate of this boss, supervisor of this band - it is not enough, because a small shaking from the society is enough to give an earthquake to you, a mind quake to you. Your whole personality will be shaken. Your identity needs to be settled in relation to the society also. Means, in the broader context - What am I with this society? What is my responsibility? With my social responsibility, what am I in this universe? What is my universal identity in the universal context?

TECH-When your identity becomes clear with this broader contexts like social and universal context, you will perform well with your team. The identity which you carry with your team will look very small, simple, easy. I tell you, your expanded identity makes the job of the smaller identity more easy. If you remember every night that you are the center of the cosmos and you need to reclaim your freedom, waking up early morning and bringing that freedom into your body in the form of health will never look like a big job. You are center of the cosmos. Remembering your higher identity, bigger identity - I need to keep this body infused with the freedom of higher identity. What is the freedom of higher identity? When you infuse the higher identity in your body it is health, when you infuse the higher identity in your mind it is joy, when you infuse the higher identity in your consciousness it is enlightenment. Remember your higher identity and infusing that into your day-to-day life. If you think you are a body, you will never be able to wake up early morning. because the fight is between equal identities. Your laziness, your physical identity - both are having equal powers. Always fight the lower level problems with the higher identity. Associate yourself with the higher identity. Remember the higher truths about you. When you remember your universal responsibility and social responsibility, completing your office responsibility becomes nothing. Out of freedom you will play this game. Then naturally the house responsibility becomes such a simple thing.

Frank, I tell you, only when you believe in your higher identity, when you understand your higher identity, you will be able to successfully make everybody understand their higher identity. Higher identity makes you understand that the responsibilities you are having are too small, too simple. This is exactly the mood with which the Aghoris function - simply do it. They establish themselves with the great truth Shivoham - I am Shiva. Then they ask, will Shiva have fear in staying in the cremation ground? No. Then simply do it! Will Shiva have hatred towards dead? Then simply do it! Establishing yourself in higher identity makes you feel responsible for ethics. Responsible ethics is the only ethics which will survive and keep you alive. Enforced ethics never keeps you alive.

Yesterday during the morning Satsang, I was telling that everything is business - father, mother, brother, sister, everything is business. After the Satsang one disciple came running to me and said, Now I understand Swamiji, everything is business - father, mother, sister… I said. Stop. Even this is business. Even between us this is business. I am very clear what I want from you. I want you to be enlightened and take up responsibility for enlightening others. Only as long as you are expanding in that direction, I am going to be working with you. If that is not happening, I am going to work with somebody else. If you understand that my business is actually your business also, then a unique love happens between you and me, which is eternal maha bhaava.

Understanding that my business is your business, you attain at-one-ment, you experience the beautiful love that is maha bhaava. Each one has their business with you. Your lover has business with your beauty, your looks, your partner has business with your money, your employer has business with your degree, your certificate. I have business with your consciousness. Each one looks at your identity in certain angle. Your lover who wants to physically enjoy you is going to look at how you look and makes decisions based on that. That is his business. Person who is employing you is going to look at your education, your productivity. Your parents’ business is to look at how much you will support about their ideas about life and society, or society’s ideas about them. Each one is busy with their business. When you understand that my business is your business, suddenly a love which can never be shaken by anybody comes up. That is Maha bhaava. My business does not bother about what is your education, your money, how you look, your social background. That is why my decisions are not based on that, but based on your consciousness. What you want, what is you. When I say you, by the very sound you understand what I mean by you – YOU, the real YOU.

Frank, understand what business cosmos wants to do with you. Understand what business society wants to do with you, what business your company wants to do with you, what business your family wants to do with you. I tell you, when you understand the every level is business, the weak sentiments will be forgotten. Weak sentiments will be destroyed. You will be straight. You are a real Aghori. Aghori is a person who lives with the skull without the flesh. All your weak sentiments are the flesh. Just live with the skull. No question of weak sentiments. Higher identity, higher responsibility makes your lower responsibility easy. Whenever a responsibility is easy, you will not have trouble following the ethics. You will say, let me be ethical, nothing wrong. Only in complicated situation, when you are in crisis, you will compromise with ethics. Understand, there is no crisis in the world. Even if the whole world is in crisis, you are not in crisis. Because it will dissolve into you and come out as you.

TECH-You should do this Aghori practice. In the night time, lie down under the sky and keep your eyes mildly closed, half closed - like how Dakshinamurthi is sitting. Look at the sky and remember - now this whole thing is going to collapse into you! Whatever you see, the whole thing is going to collapse into you, including you. Tomorrow all of it will come out of you. How it is collapsing into me? This is one of the powerful Aghori process. Do it for 21 days. Lie down in a place where you can see the sky, keep your eyes half open, half closed – means, mildly open. Remember, this whole is going to disappear into my inner space, atma, consciousness. How is it going to dissolve into me and how is it going to come out of me? In ten days, you will catch the exact moment where this solid is becoming semi-solid, liquid. If you catch that moment, you will not have any fear, even if this whole world is in crisis. I tell you, even if there is a huge Tsunami or any natural calamity, not even one moment I will be shaken. Please understand, I am making this statement very responsibly, because I have seen how this whole universe collapses into my inner space and come out it. This solid becoming liquid and liquid becoming steam - I have caught every step of that transition with awareness. Unfortunately, you see it as solid, and next day again you see it as solid! Because of that you forget the transition which happens every day from solid to semi-solid, from semi-solid to liquid, from liquid to steam. Every night this happens. If you catch this experience - every night this melting down happens! Try this Aghori process. This is what usually Aghoris do, lying in the cremation ground in the nights. They actually bury their body up to their head, so that there is no movement, and stare into the sky. Don’t do all that. Just put a blanket over you, don’t move, and look at the sky with eyes half open. First day you may fall asleep. 2-3 days you may fall asleep. But again and again, with awareness, watch. Within ten days you will catch how the solid universe which you see around you is melting into semi-solid, and how that semi-solid is melting into liquid. Frank, when you understand your business with the cosmos, and cosmos’s business with you, you relax from the fears which are constantly attacking you. I tell you – you cannot establish a moral ethic to a company. You may think, I am asking for corporate problem, you are giving enlightenment as solution. I tell you, all problems are rooted only in one problem. Because problem is one, so solution is one. Problems are not one as you think, so solution cannot be many as you think. Catching the universe when it is melting down - that is the sacred secret. Catch the universe when it melts down. All the fears, all the greed, all the suffering will just disappear! Every person in the corporate field should catch when the universe melts then you will never suffer when the market melts. Catch when the universe melts, you will never suffer when the market melts. Till you catch the universe melting, you will suffer even if the market is not melting in the fear that the market is melting.

There is a question – when I am doing this process, if I feel sleepy, can I sleep there, or do I need to go inside and sleep? Sleep under the sky itself, it is okay. See, nobody believes they will really catch the melting. Now itself you are clear, you will be sleeping after ten minutes! Actually if you catch the melting, you will be in samadhi. But you know for sure, all these techniques are only for Swamiji. Let us be little compassionate towards Swamiji and listen to him. You are so clear. Your statement itself shows your stand. You are clear, yes he is teaching and that is true for him. I am clear I am going to sleep. Nothing can move me. There are 2-3 people who will come and say they experienced. These are for them. I am very clear. Because he said I have to stare at the sky today, I will stare. But I know I will feel sleepy. After ten minutes of staring, snoring!

I will be back again tomorrow. My whole spirit has gone! Half an hour, with so much of patience I explained…. See, in the Matrix movie, they show one scene - as if this whole thing is melting like mercury. That guy puts his hand in and is able to take it out. Exactly like that it will happen. The whole thing will melt, and you will be able to put your hand in. Then it will collapse. Then don’t ask, what is behind? Behind there is nothing! Even the concept, what is behind? will collapse. It will slowly start melting into semi-solid form, then into liquid form, then into steam form. By that time, you will fall into samadhi. Next day you will see that steam becoming liquid, the liquid turning into semi-solid and the semi-solid will become solid. If this experience is going to happen, why will you bother if you are sleeping inside or outside? You are so sure no experience will happen with you. It is like the diet doctor says – eat 2 idli in the morning, one chapathi in the afternoon and one dosa in the night. You ask - should I eat all this before eating or after eating? This exact question - should I sleep outside or inside?!

{New Gen Youth Concepts}

1. Is there such a thing as love at first sight? – Uma, Tirupur

Uma, you are waiting to fall for somebody or waiting for somebody to fall. Then naturally the moment you see – the first sight happens - you fall. I don’t even want to say love at first sight. It is love before even the first sight happens. Suppose you watched a horror movie for 2 ½ hours alone. You are walking back home all alone. On the way, a small sound is enough to make you shiver or do 1-2-3, all together! You may ask, what is 3? One plus two together is 3! When you are filled with thoughts of a horror movie, a small leaf shaking is enough for you to shiver. When you are empty within, hollow within, begging for attention, poor inside, love at first sight happens.

Understand, whenever love at first sight happens, the person is very poor in his inner space. Do not ever believe this love at first sight. But when it comes to Guru-disciple relationship, believe only love at first sight, because you should be craving so much that the moment you see him, you fall in love. If that is not there, please understand, he is not your Guru; please move on. Only when you have intense craving, the moment you see him you know, yes, this the one I am looking for whole life. If the love at first sight happens in the spiritual realm, you are immensely rich in your inner space. Seeking is inner richness. Attention seeking is inner poverty. If you are falling in love at first sight, you are empty within. You are waiting for a boy to smile, for a girl to smile, and you fall. All the fellows who fall in love at first sight have very weak inner space. When you connect with a Guru by the first sight, you have a very strong inner space, depth. That strong seeking. Understand, both are completely opposite.

Uma, there is something called love at first sight. It means, the moment you see the ditch, you fall into it! You are waiting for the ditch so long and you are fantasizing about that smell so long. How will it feel? Let me roll in that ditch. Love at first sight means, falling into the ditch the moment you see it. See, sometimes when you stand on top of a tall building and see from the parapet wall or balcony, the depth invites you to fall. You will feel as if somebody is pulling you to jump. Every man who looks down the balcony has at least one thought for a moment - should I jump? Or, will I fall? That thought is the invitation from the depth, invitation from the ground. Same way, all love at first sight is you honoring the invitation from the ditch. What happens to you when you honor the invitation from the depth, the same thing happens when you honor the invitation of love at first sight.

If you are falling for love at first sight, you have a special disorder. As per the Yogic psychology, it is a mental disorder. You need to get out of the problem. There is such a thing love at first sight, but it is a mental disorder! If somebody tells you, I fell for love at first sight, visualize a man standing with torn clothes, looking up with twisted eyes, having two garbage bags in the hand, and a dirty trouser which is not covering the parts it has to cover, standing there and saying, Oh, I got it, I got it, I got it. If you see a man standing like this in the dark night in front of you all alone, what will you do? Do the same thing if someone comes and tells you, I am in love with you at first sight!

2. My boyfriend and I are planning to live in together before marriage. Are there reasons we shouldn’t? – Shivani, UK. Shivani, you should. I know no one will expect this reply from me! I tell you Shivani, at least one year you should live together before marriage. I am breaking some of the customs by Manu knowingly, with the responsibility I am the modern day smritikaara. I have not come just to make few spiritual truths and techniques alive. I have come to give the modern day way of life. As a modern day smritikaara, with the responsibility of the modern day smritikaara, I tell you - live at least one year together before marriage. You need to see completely all the faces, all the seasons of the other person. Because marriage is not a joke. Just few days ago, in Bharat, so many divorce laws have been passed by the board of ministers; they have made the laws very easy. Why? Because the courts are overflowing with divorce cases! I am afraid that in future, the very family system may collapse. People are losing faith in the very family system. That is why I am courageously making amendments in Manusmriti, Manu’s way of life. So many things have changed. So many ideas, fantasies, visualizations are put inside you from the young age, and it is almost becoming impossible for any man or woman to match the layers and layers of fantasy you build from the young age. Once you break one marriage, you will lose trust completely in the very marriage system. Not only that, the injury that happens to your personality becomes irreparable. Somehow, man still has such a strong concept about marriage, that the injury that happens becomes irreparable. Never gets healed. The wound becomes so strong, people get scared of human beings. I know many people, after divorce are frightened about men itself, women itself. They are frightened about people. They are becoming more and more comfortable with same-gender relationships. I am not for or against same-gender relationships. I am not going to comment on that subject now. But continuously moving into the same-gender relationship destabilizes the very social setup; same-gender relationship destabilizes the very social fabric. I tell you, live together for one year, see all the moods, all the seasons of the other person. How only a house which sees all the seasons and withstands them is ready to occupy, same way, only a relationship which sees all seasons should be converted into commitment. Relationship is also a tapas. Before you take sannyas, you prepare yourself with tapas. Before you take up marriage, you should prepare yourself for one year. What is sannyas? Deciding to sacrifice for your own enlightenment. What is relationship, marriage? Deciding to sacrifice for the other person’s shopping needs! Just like you need tapas for sannyas, I think you need at least one year before converting relationship into marriage. I completely accept and encourage, inspire both of you guys to live together for one year and work with the spiritual truths of understanding each other. Converting the relationship into commitment, so that you don’t get hurt about human beings. See, there are some people who have come to me for sannyas, who have taken the decision of sannyas because of the hurt they are carrying from their past relationships. Not because they love sannyas, but because they hate relationships. This will never be successful. If you just enjoy positively, intensely, the presence of the master in your life, the happening of master in your life, only that can make sannyas successful - not hatred towards relationships. Only the positive, affirmative right understanding makes any rich thing happen in your life. I tell you, this one year of living together will enrich you. It will make you understand, is this right person for me to spend the rest of my life with? See if you are spending time together only in weekends, you will be able to answer only the question, Is this person worthy of sharing my kids over weekends after divorce? Only when you live together, you will get answer to the question, is this man the right person for me to spend the rest of my life with restfully? So I tell you, before making any big commitments like converting relationship into marriage, I will encourage one year living together as a tapas. 3. I often see women asking the question: How can I show my husband I love him? Typical responses seem to include things like sending him love notes and making his lunch. Some people will suggest getting in shape and dressing well for him (great ways to make him feel good, actually!). Can you please comment? – Clara, new jersey Clara, don’t you see how shallow we human beings have become? Sending him love notes..! I remember reading a story. One guy goes to a shop where cards are sold. He sees a very beautiful card – Thank you for being the one and only one in my life. He reads the card and tells the card seller, give me 20 of that! You can send any number of notes to any number of people. You can make lunch or even dinner for any number of people. It is so unfortunate, the relationship has become so shallow; so much of doubt, distrust! Clara, relationship has nothing to do with sending love notes or making his lunch. Forget about making his lunch, it has nothing to do even with making love!. It is something beyond making love or lunch. It is tremendous understanding. It is not even spending time together. It has nothing to do with getting in shape and dressing well. Many men suspect you if you suddenly get into shape and start dressing well! - What happened to you? You are having a new boss? Getting in shape and dressing well only creates doubt and suspicion in men. There are so many things that need to be understood in this question. First bring some common interests. Maybe it can start with things like art, politics, music, dance, working out, gymming together. Some common interests. Then raise that common interest to the basic understandings of life. When the common interest is basic understandings of life, means spiritual questions, spiritual quest, only then the true relationship starts happening. Till then, this word looks so shallow! Sending a love note, making lunch - I tell you, this should not strengthen your love. If it strengthens your love, it is not just shallow, but both of you are sick with attention-need syndrome. You need psychiatric help from a psychiatrist who does not need help for himself! Clara, don’t you see, all this is so superficial. How long you will be writing notes, how long you will make lunch, how long you will get into shape and dress well? Then what about the old age? I tell you, bring common interest and raise the common interest into spiritual depth. That is the only way you will have safe, happy, blissful relationship in old age. Anything else that forms basis of your relationship will be very shallow. Let your relationship be completely ripened, strong, based on friendliness and understanding. 4. How much do I tell my spouse or fiancee about my wild past? I realize that honesty and transparency are important in any relationship, but there are times when it can be harmful to "let it all hang out." I don't want to keep secrets, but neither do I want to cause hurt or damage. Where do I draw the line? – Michelle, Texas

Michelle, first thing - your basic thought that transparency and honesty is important in any relationship is wrong. Many men and women do not want to know the other person’s wild past. First understand if your fiancé or spouse wants to know about your wild past. Ask him or her first if they want to know. Can they digest it? If they want to know, they may be enjoying your wild past as pornography! Your revelation of your wild past only has pornographic effect. Be very clear, neither he or she wants to know your past, nor you want to know their past. Maybe this very basis, the very statement that honesty and transparency are important in any relationship, is wrong in many modern-day relationships. Ask very clearly if the other person wants to know, and tell honestly if you want to know or not. Most of the people do not want to know, because many of them know, if I come to know, I may not be able to accept this person. I may lose all my romance to accept this person. Only to give enlightenment you need to know all past engrams, to raise the person. I know for sure Michelle, you are not going to give enlightenment to your spouse, and he also! So when enlightenment is not involved, the other person does not need to know your whole past. I tell you, even you don’t know your whole past. Even you fall into guilt with your past. What is your past? Many of the things you dealt with in the past are with your low intelligence. Now they are not even your past, because you are not the same person. Then why do you want to repeat the pornographic story to your spouse? Of course, I know many people enjoy their own pornographic story! One 90-year-old man runs here and there and screams, One young lady has filed a rape charge against me. Somebody asked, Why are you telling that to everyone? The old man has no answer, but he started blushing! He feels that as a pride - going around and telling some stories about himself, showing he had a wild past, becomes pride. You are really dishonest only when you talk about your wild past, if you add things which did not happen. When you see the other person is enjoying your wild past, you add more back stories and more wild shots. Somebody asked, What is the difference between Government bonds and men? The other person replied, Government bonds get matured at some time. Men never get matured. When they try to tell their wild past, don’t think they are honest. You need to sit and understand if the person is really interested in listening to you. Don’t push it down the other person’s throat in the name of honesty and transparency. Don’t bore him with your so-called honesty and transparency. Who cares what you did?

Michelle, first thing you need is NSP - Life Bliss Level II program, to understand that what you are carrying as past is not even your past. It is the past of the immature version of you. After every year, a matured version of you is taking birth. The past of your immature version is not your past. So understand, when it is not even your past, what is there to talk about that to your fiancée or spouse? Actually, if you are really honest and transparent you will not talk about your immature past as your past, and tell it to your spouse and fiancé. If you are really transparent, tell him how immature you were at that time and how mature you are now. You should be mature enough to tell transparently about how mature you are now, and he should be able to see that. If not, Michelle, escape! You are in Texas, escape into Mexico. You know how many thousands of tunnels are there to escape to Mexico from Texas! Just escape!
