Megan Bishop Scott’s book - Inside the Wall. I received a copy of the book yesterday. Amazing book. It is already available in Amazon. She has written beautifully her experiences, her seeking till she met me. She has very beautifully, and very authentically, honestly described. I am still going through the book. After finishing the reading, I will give my detailed comments on that book. For now I can tell, this book will be more useful to readers than Autobiography of a Yogi, because it is so down to earth. So honestly, authentically, she presents her seeking. I sincerely want all our viewers to buy and read this book from Amazon. Speaking about her book - I will start a new series on book reviews. Maybe in a week, I will review her book. Still I have not completed the book. But from whatever I read, I can say this book is more useful to seekers on the path than Autobiography of a Yogi!
And I also request all the participants and viewers of Nithyananda TV - every day, after your morning Satsang, add your meditation minutes in the website [www.minutes4peace.org](http://www.minutes4peace.org). Every moment you sit with me - during paada puja time, which is Upanishad with me, till the Satsang ends. If there is Kriya, that is also meditation. Whenever you sit with me, it is Upanishad. Here, more Upanishad is happening. So include your pada puja time, watching satsang and Kriya time. Whole morning, whatever time you are sitting with me, enter all those minutes in the website www. minutes4peace.org website. Let us tell the world how we are contributing to the world to reduce the crime rate.
Let us enter into morning Satsang.
1. Dear Swamiji, you said that when I want the headache to disappear, I have given more energy for it to stay in me. In that case, why have I not given more energy for spiritual experience like Samadhi or Kundalini energy, even though I want it? - Rupak, IA No. 64
Please understand, wanting it is one thing, believing it is possible, trusting it is possible, is another thing. Let me give you a small story. One guy was trying his best to get a boon from Shiva. So every day morning he will pour water, milk, all kinds of offerings he will pour on Shiva deity, and sit and chant namah shivaya, and literally nag Shiva to give the boon, literally force Shiva to give the boon. Shiva was not responding. Finally one day he became angry. When the greed is not fulfilled, it turns as anger. When he became angry, he decided to tease Shiva. He brought a Vishnu deity and started doing all the rituals to tease Shiva. Finally he put the incense stick for Vishnu. But because of a breeze, the incense smoke started going towards Shiva. This fellow could not tolerate that! The incense he kept for Vishnu was going to Shiva! He jumped up and caught hold of the nose of the deity of Shiva. He said, you should not smell the incense kept for Vishnu! Suddenly, in a few seconds, he felt that he was holding somebody’s real nose, real flesh! When he opened his eyes, Shiva was sitting! The moment he saw Shiva, his pseudo anger went away. He fell at Shiva’s feet and asked, please forgive me! Shiva asked, what do you want, my son? He asked, and Shiva gave him boon. Then this guy suddenly had a doubt. He asked, I was doing so much pooja, sacrifice, repetition of your name, everything. Why did you not appear then, and now when I am angry with you, why are you coming now?
Then Shiva beautifully said - even in your greed, you did not have a strong trust I am actually present in that deity. You were only imagining that Shiva is there, but one corner of your mind was always commenting on your action. There was never 100% doubtless trust. But in your anger, when you held my nose strongly, you did not have doubt for even one second that I was not there! Your mind was not saying, even in your unconscious, who knows if Shiva is there! You know Shiva is there and you have to take revenge. Whether right or wrong, you were without a doubt even in your unconscious; you know I am there in the deity. That strong authentic doubtless trust is the key. That is the bridge and makes me appear. When you have that trust, I have no other way! I have to appear.
Understand, maybe you wanted your kundalini to awaken, samadhi to happen. But behind that, your mind, your unconscious, is constantly denying all this. Your mind is telling - the cricket commentary is going on, wicked commentary is going on – it takes years and years practice, who knows if this Swami can do it in 10 days….
But with headache, you are sure beyond doubt. Unfortunately, your mind is programmed to believe negative things more strongly than positive things. It is like, water flows down, your mind flows down towards negativity. Your headache is like authentic trust. Your trust in samadhi and Kundalini Energy is not so strong – it is there, it is not there - that is the difference. Rupak, contemplate on this story of why Shiva appeared when the devotee was holding the nose in anger, and why he did not appear when he was doing puja with all devotion. Contemplate on it, you will understand - authentic trust is the essence.
2. Swamiji, Is being in silence an effective way to go within? Thank you for your love and blessings! - Preet, ID No. 28
I don’t know what silence you are asking about. Verbal silence maybe the initial step. But mental silence is the best step. Emotional silence is the ultimate step. Conscious silence is goal itself. Understand, if you are talking about verbal silence ,it is first step. Very beautifully Upanishad says - Yogasya prathamam dvaaram vaangnirodhaha – verbal silence is only the first step for yoga. Mental silence will be a powerful practice for Yoga. Emotional silence is last step of Yoga. Conscious silence is the goal of Yoga. So you should know which silence you are talking about. Step by step, increase depth of silence, that’s all. If you are in verbal silence, move to mental silence. If you are in mental silence, move to emotional silence. If you are in emotional silence, move to conscious silence. So understand which level of silence you are talking about - that plays a major role.
3. What is the reason we do Pujas at the Guru's feet? Why do people want to touch the Guru's feet? - Maggie Point, IA No. 94
Maggie Point, it is an ancient tradition in the Vedic tradition. When you are showered so much by Guru with his knowledge, experience, love, blessings, everything – when you are showered by him, in overflowing gratitude, you don’t know what to do. So you offer whatever you have at his feet. That is the way the tradition of Guru puja stated in Vedic Tradition. The oldest sacred ritual is Guru Puja. The moment the first disciple was excited - Parvati, Adi Shakti - the moment she was excited with the experience given by Mahadeva Shiva, in that extraordinary gratitude, she fell at his feet and offered Guru Puja. The first initiation is Shiva Sutra, the first sacred ritual is Guru puja and first stotra is Guru Geeta. The overflowing gratitude - you pour yourself at the feet of the master. And same way, touching Guru’s feet also - in the ecstasy, you always feel like offering yourself at his feet. There is no logical reason for why Guru Puja is done, why people touch Guru’s feet. It is emotional feeling connection. Some people feel, why should I do it? For some people, it is life. They cannot miss it. I know, for millions of my disciples, morning satsang is much more important than eating food. The morning satsang is a powerful bliss dose. It is life itself! So please understand, it is the individual’s emotion. Do all this only if you feel intensely connected to it, not otherwise. It should not be done as a ritual. See, as far as Yoga is concerned, whether you want it or not, do it - because it is connected to your body. But Guru Puja has to be done by your mind. Your mind itself should feel it, and out of ecstasy and joy, you should pour it. So there is no logical reason; that is just the way it is. That’s all!
4. My dear Swamiji, Is the will a part of the mind or the being? How is it connected to the mind, if at all? - Rajeev Ramanath, IA No. 57
Rajeev Ramnath – It is a very important question, very subtle question. Understand, I am finishing the answer in 2 lines. Will is neither part of the mind nor part of the being. It is a bridge hanging. How is it connected to the mind? Just like a grass floating on the ocean. How is the straw or grass floating on the ocean? It is just floating. By moving or pulling the straw, you cannot move the ocean. You cannot even control the straw by making movements in the ocean. Your will is just floating on your mind. Neither you can control the will and move the mind, or vice-versa. That is a very complicated relationship. Then how to control the mind using the will? You should increase the frequency of your being to reduce the control of the mind. That is the only solution. If more part of the planet becomes land, the ocean part reduces.
See, mind is like ocean, being is like land. Will is like a straw floating on the ocean, maybe on the bank of the ocean, touching the land and the ocean. But one thing you need to know, just like how under the water there is land, under the mind is the being. Your being is the land on planet earth, ocean is the mind. Will is the straw - small piece of grass lying where the ocean meets the land. With this example, you can get answer to any question.
5. Pranam Swamiji, thanks for being in my life. Swamiji, what is the best thing I can do for older people like my parents? I don’t want them to die without knowing the truth (Cosmos - that’s you!) I don’t want them to take an unconscious body again. Please help me, so that at least they don’t suffer in next janma. - Murali Krishna, IA No. 54
Murali Krishna, it is so unfortunate - in those days, the parents and elders used to push their kids towards Gurus and spirituality and enlightenment. I have made spirituality as a trend! Now youngsters are connected, and they are pushing elders to come. I don’t know whether I have to feel pride that I made the whole thing in a way youngsters are connected, or feel bad that the Kali is such that old people have to be forced by youngsters..! It is a very weird situation. It is a very weird situation. He is asking, what is the best thing I can do for older people like my parents? If you ask about your child, I can tell, come on bring it to eNgenius! With parents, the only way is approach them with tremendous feeling, how can I contribute and make a difference in their life?, and taking time to explain to them. Explain that during death no one can support them other than Guru. It is not a story. Thousands of stories, enough of instances and evidences are there, where people have felt my presence and experienced peaceful death. Tell them, for graceful exit, IA is compulsory. Make them understand, convince them. That is the only way. No other way.
6. Pranam Swamiji, you mentioned that we should expand, experience and explode in every possibility, but not get attached to the object or measure achievement. My question is, how would you care about anything if you don’t have any small attachment to it? Could you kindly tell me how, Swamiji? Pranam - Siva Bhaskaran, IA No. 05
Shiva Bhaskaran, I don’t mind small attachment! I don’t mind you having small attachment, but in the name of small attachment, you are not going to move out of it! What to do? That is where the problem starts. Small attachment will not even be a small attachment. But the moment I grant small attachment, what will you do? You will justify everything as small attachment. Small attachment will be there, but will not even be known to you. Anything known to you, disconnect from it. Not even small attachment is allowed knowingly. So you go on unclutching from whatever is there knowingly. Then, unknowingly, whatever has to happen will happen.
Today, all the IA participants are going to be officially initiated into unclutching and Nirvikalpa samadhi. See, first time the world knows a technique of getting into Nirvikalpa Samadhi, which is neurologically verified. The technology of Nirvikalpa Samadhi that I am sharing with you which can be neurologically measured.
Patanjali says about Nirvakalpa Samadhi - highest awareness and deepest restful awareness happening at same time. You will see today, when the Nivikalpa Samadhi happens in you, unclutching mood happens automatically and Kundalini Energy is awakened, highest awareness will be shown in your brain, but no activity - equivalent to coma! Complete silence and no activity. Jagrat sushupti is what Patanjali calls as Nirvikalpa Samadhi. Please understand, the most authentic technology of Nirvikalpa Samadhi, best analysed through the neuroscientific studies available to the world, openly, publicly, without any restrictions. My contribution of unclutching to the world - even I am happy about it! It is like, if a daughter is married in a very cultured, decent, wealthy and very happy place, how the father will feel happy for her, that is exactly the feeling I have when I initiate every person in Unclutching consciousness. Now, I feel, now he will be in the highest potential..!
I always feel, this is exactly how the first initiation and first Guru Puja has happened in Kailash! That is why that place still vibrates in that place. The first time Mahadeva gave initiation to Devi that whole (WORDS MISSING HERE)
