Question & Answers

1. Nithyanandam Swamiji, you said that tyaaga means not making your thought process centered on you, but on others. How can we be completely aware of our self while having our thought process centered on others? – Jean, Dallas-Dwaraka {Spiritual concepts} Let me give you an example what I mean by centering the thought process. See, the other day I was teaching to a group of my disciples and Ashramites. I was telling an idea - poverty means, not questioning the pseudo reality. That is the greatest poverty. When you start questioning this pseudo reality, suddenly you become rich. What is richness? Having multiple dimensions of life which you enjoy, in which you feel entertained and expanded. That is richness. When you start questioning this pseudo reality, so many doors open in you. You have so much of entertainment and entrainment. When I was explaining, a disciple questioned, Alright Swamiji, we will have so many doors open, but the wealth will be still less, with less money and gold! I said, This is what is called centering on materialistic realm. Even if you have gold or money, it will not be constantly entertaining you. It will sit in the bank. Richness is something which will constantly entertain you. But till the end the disciple was stubborn, and kept saying, Okay, but still there will be less money. So your entire thought process is centered on money. Till you cut that, I cannot make you understand this truth. Same way, Jean, in your thought process, you usually expect that the end of every action,n the result of everything you do, should be you. Either it should bring pleasure to you, or it should bring richness to you, or it should avoid pain for you. It should bring something what you think as good to you, and avoid something what you think is bad for you. Please understand, that is what you call as tyaaga. I can see very clearly now, the whole truth of Tyaaga coming out by itself to express itself! Once I will describe how I am doing Satsang. That itself will be one Satsang! See, the moment you ask something about Tyaaga, the Tyaaga energy, the Tyaaga devata, raises itself to explain itself. It does not want to anybody to interpret it. All these great qualities are personified, independent intelligences. Understand, just by meditating on tyaaga devata you can achieve tyaaga, just by meditating on dharma devataa you can achieve dharma. Each of these truths are personified independent intelligences. Because my nervous system has done enough tapas for tyaaga devataa to express herself, she is beautifully opening herself. I can see. (Aside to two-way participants) Yes! Blessings to Kathmandu. I can see the Kathmandu center now! My blessings to all the devotees in Katmandu. I can see you guys now! I also bless you all, we will have soon beautiful temple and Ashram in Kathmandu. Let me expand on Tyaaga. If the end result of your any thought-process is based on your fear or greed, that is self-centeredness. Even if it based on your concept that you are doing Tyaaga, it is selfishness. When the Tyaaga happens in you, you will not even know it is Tyaaga. You will not even know you are a Tyaagi. You will just be living. The very mold in which my thought process goes on, I do not feel I am sacrificing. Tyaaga happens through me. Tyaaga is a spiritual current which runs through your nervous system and strengthens your nervous system again & again & again. See, if joy runs through your body, romance runs through your body, you feel an inspiration to live. If the romance runs through your body, next day you feel rose is more rosy, green is more greener, you have so much inspiration to run through your life. Same way, when Tyaaga runs through your system, you just know enlightenment is worth having. You will experience the power of freedom. Tyaaga is a powerful - I can say, Tyaaga is just like engine oil for the automobiles. Unclutching is only a lubrication oil. Tyaaga is engine oil itself. Life. If your thought process is not constantly centered on what you are going to gain or lose but what others are going to gain or lose, it is Tyaaga. If your thought process is constantly functioning based on others’ gain and others’ loss and all your actions are for others’ gain, it is Tyaaga. It is not that others’ gain is always your loss. It is a wrong thought process. Many time we tend to make a statement that we always think of others’ gain, even if it means loss to you. It is not right. It is not that if others gain, you will be a loser. That is again a sadistic approach. In a TV channel, they are advertising a TV serial – Do you want to see the peak of sadism? See this serial. In that serial, a fellow burns all his wife’s family members. Why? Nobody knows. Just like that. BIO-In those days, for entertainment, they will have mango pickle! I still remember, my grandmother, my uncles, if they want some change and entertainment in their life, they will tell me to go and buy a ten paise pickle packet from the shop. In those days we have ten paise coins. They will slowly eat it whole evening! Now if you want any juicy spice in your life, you see these kind of serials. What is happening to human society? And do you know, this is one of the most watched serial in Bharat, top serial in Bharat. Just like this Kaun Banega Crorepati. When somebody becomes rich, you feel that pseudo-richness! At least that is working towards some constructive productiveness. If you have money, you will have more luxury. But this serial, don’t you see, one fellow is burning the family for no reason? And the promoting statement is only this – Do you want to see the peak of sadism? Watch this serial! Then where are we heading? It is almost like making the whole thought process sadistic. That is why you always feel, in life everything comes with a shadow of suffering. Yesterday some of my Ashramites asked me, Swamiji, some people appear to be close to you, some people appear to be far away from you. What is the secret of catching a place in your heart? I tell you the secret of catching a place in my heart – believing that life is bliss and there is no suffering in anything. Whoever believes that, I see very clearly they fit in my frequency. They work like me; they work like me whole day and are not tired. The moment you believe there is sadness, even when you are picking up your cup and drinking tea, you are depressed and tired. By the time you finish drinking, you don’t even want to pick that cup and put aside. Whoever believes life is juicy, life is bliss, there is nothing called sorrow in life - I tell you, they all fall in my frequency and become my favorites! There are three levels, how someone becomes my favorite. First the person will be testing me. See, there is a strong love in heart, but mind doubts. I am patient, trying to make them understand - your trust is right, your heart is right. But I want to tell you – whatever you think as genuine, I will never fit into it. Krishna goes into the mouth of the demon, not to be digested by the demon but to destroy it! I will look like as if I am fitting into your frame of trust, not to fit into it, but to destroy your frame! When I try to be gentle, very loving ,caring, almost fitting in your frame of genuinity, you think -now he is mine. That is where I take the Vishwaroopa! This is a second level, where I will be testing you! That is the most torturous period, because by that time your heart and mind is convinced that I am your life. But I will keep quiet - I withstood your testing, let me see if you can withstand it! Then finally, you comes in tune with my frequency. I have seen, whoever believes life is joy, life is bliss, I see very clearly they fit in my frequency. They fit with my energy. All those people naturally become my favorites. All other people standing in the zone of either them testing me or me testing them are stuck – dragging, dragging, dragging. This same theory only is the truth with life also. With life also it is the same thing – first you try to test the life, then after some time life tries to test you, and when these two tests are over, depending on whether your conviction is going to be life is joy or life is suffering, you either become enlightened or endarkened. Sadists are those who believe life is suffering. Blessed are those who believe life is bliss. It is not just with me, it is the same with life. Many time you have this wrong thought - Let me think of others’ welfare, even if it does bad to me. ‘Even if it does bad to me’ is an unnecessary appendix. The parts which are not necessary but fit in your body is cancer. That which are not required for your smooth functioning but is hanging in your body can be cancerous. I tell you, stop with this word – let me think of welfare of others. That’s all. Then you will see, you will evolve a new being, a new understanding, where Tyaaga takes care of your well-being also. BIO-Once Arunagiri Yogishwara gave me this mahavaakya – tatvamasi. It means, you are That. I said, how can I meditate on the concept, you are That? I should be meditating on the concept aham brahmasmi - I am That. When a Guru gives the teaching, he can say, Tatvamasi. I can only meditate on I am That, how can I meditate on you are That? He said, sit and tell yourself, you are That. Only when I sat and tried, I realized, it is true. See there are two parts in you. The part which says, you are That is not Brahman. The part which listens to that, that is Brahman! If you say, I am That, the part which is making that statement, which is saying I am Brahman is not Brahman! The part which is listening in silence is Brahman. So you are catching the part which is not Brahman, and that part is repeating, I am Brahman. It was such a strong click. Whatever moves only can repeat. Whatever repeats, how can that be Brahman? So the part which repeats cannot be Brahman. So aham brahmasmi is not the truth. Tatvamasi is truth. There is a part which is repeating this, which is not Brahman, and there is a part which is not saying it, but listening to it – that is Brahman. So just sit silently and repeat, you are That. Your identity assumes the role of the repeater, and something in you listens to the truth. Repeater can only be the ego, not the soul. Soul neither can repeat not can be repeated. I was always told by Kuppammal that Guru will tell tatvamasi, you have to tell aham brahmasmi. That is way it is given in all monasteries. When you are given sannyas, this is what they will say it. Guru says Tatvamasi, but when you repeat, it should be Aham Brahmasmi. But when Arunagiri Yogishwara said this, I realized – yes, you are right. Sit and repeat Tatvamasi to yourself, then the real part which is Brahman in you will start expressing itself. The part which repeats is the maya, the component of mind. You will see, that identity slowly drops and dies. Same way with Tyaaga - just decide, I will think of the welfare of others. Think the welfare of others without having the last statement, even if bad happens to me. Only when you have that last statement in your mind, you feel that working for others welfare will make you tired. When the real understanding of Tatvamasi happens, you will realize the complete shift in your understanding. Same way, when the understanding of Tyaaga happens, a complete shift happens in you. The concept of Tyaaga, the truth of Tyaaga should be lived. Only then you will understand that life is bliss! Life is bliss. Tyaaga makes you rich, gives you the truth life is bliss!
