INNER AWAKENING – Day 2

No I am not getting the sound yes.

(Participants say yes loudly)

We will start. Yesterday we worked on ‘Integrity’ the first principle. I was expanding why, how, what, of all these four principles and first principle ‘Integrity’. Second, before entering the second principle I want to know how many of you did the completion with yourself, restored your Integrity. Raise your hand? Is there anybody still you have not completed the list you wrote? The list you wrote, you have not yet completed? Oh god! Night you would have had time na, after going to room you could have done. After all it’s a process you can do it with yourself. All right, today don’t miss. Even in the break you can do. Because you know the method; means it is nothing but bringing consciousness into your thinking. See one of the biggest I can say that loss human beings suffer is your life is stolen from you. Your consciousness is away from your thinking. With Integrity I am connecting both, bolting both, aligning both.

Please understand, let’s move to the next principle ‘Authenticity’. All of you are able to hear? The voice is ok? I am trying to talk little low voice. Authenticity, please listen; please come to the space of listening. Still I am seeing lot of restlessness and movements. Drop everything; notebooks, everything. As I said you don’t want to carry enlightened notebook, you want to carry enlightened being; so drop everything. What is happening? Spanish translation, hmmm

Before understanding Authenticity you need to understand few points. So ………tamil……... please understand, before understanding ‘Authenticity’ you need to understand three word. That is what I am explaining now. Please listen. This is your body, this square which I made is your body. Many of your bodies are like square only or round!! Mine also slowly becoming round even though I am trying to stop! Inside this body what you think about yourself, listen; please come to the space of listening. Inside this body what you think of yourself it is inner image. What you think about yourself, the image you carry about you inside you, inside your body what you think of you – inner image.

And to others, we can say these are all others - A, B, C, D; these are all different people in your life. To all others how you show you - this is outer image. How you project you to all of them - this is outer image. Sometime for each one you project different, different; to your father differently, to your mother differently, to your friends differently. So the different images you project to others all put together is called outer image.

And what others expect from you, what others want you to be for them - that is called others image. Understand, means now the arrow is this side - Others image.

How many of you are able to cognize these three word; inner image, outer image, others image. Is there anybody, you are not able to cognize this three word. I will repeat. So all of you are able to cognize this three word. Yes. Shall I repeat once more? Listen, the person who raised the hand please keep your hands raised; only then you will listen to me. Yes, keep your hands raised till you understand, till I complete. I will repeat for you. The idea you have about you is inner image. Ok, you understand? Maybe you can come to the mike. I will give you example. No come to the mike. Come to the mike ma. Oh I think she is not able to hear. Oh Tamil translation …..tamil…..

……tamil…… anybody else? So I can go to the next step. Understand ‘Authenticity’ means being in peak in all the three; being in peak in all the three. Let me explain. Having best, no, no, no books, no note books, please drop everything. Can you drop all the notebooks? If you want only notebook then I will give the print out and no need for class na.

Listen, listen, internalize point by point. Inner image - having consciously built best image for yourself; as on now our inner image is not consciously built, it is happening due to accident. Some old dilapidated bungalow you caught hold and you are living in it. You have not built it. You did not see the vaasthu, you did not buy the land as you want. You did not pan it and you did not create it. Some old dilapidated house, some accident happened, some ghost possessed, all the fellows in the house ran away, you went and started living there. Your inner image is not consciously built by you. Understand, having consciously built inner image for yourself and projecting consciously built outer image for you, most of our outer image is a reaction.

Understand it will be literally opposite to what you feel inside. It’s like if somebody punches you inside you feel like you are terrorized, terrible, fear. Just to save yourself that others should not punch you, you show strong face. It’s a reaction; but I am not saying strong face is wrong. Be very clear. The strong face should be consciously built with responsibility – ‘I will show the strong face, I will take the responsibility for it, I will align my inner image with it’. How many of you are cognizing what I am saying? If you are not able to cognize raise your hand, I will repeat.

Listen, I will repeat. Both of you keep the hands raised so that I will talk to you directly. Listen, your inner image as on now you have not built it consciously, have you built it consciously? Have you planned how you should feel about you? It is something happened in your life due to many things; happened in your life, automatically it got built. You understand? Both of you understand what I am saying? No, backside you, hmm. What you carry about you is not consciously created by you. You did not create it purposely. In the young age somebody has beaten you, you feel ‘oh I am weak’. Somebody has cheated you, you feel ‘I am always cheated’. Somebody says you are a good guy you feel ‘I think I am a good guy’. So it is only an outcome of different accidents; am I right? You are cognizing? No I am asking both of you.

So your inner image as on now what you carry is not best because you did not build it. Same way the outer image which you are projecting to others is not best because you did not consciously create it. It came out as a reaction. If your elder brother was beating you constantly in the young age you have to put up a brave face so that he doesn’t beat you. If your father is scolding all the time you have to put a brave face so that he keeps quiet. So most of your outer image is reaction created unconsciously; not consciously created. Getting it? These two only; now you can drop the hand.

Third, others image, listen, what others feeling about you; especially the people who live around you, taking responsibility for that. Whatever people expect who live around you about you, for example what your mother expects from you, what your father expects from you. It is not that you have to fulfill the expectation of the guy who walks in the street who has nothing to do with your life, no. But with whoever you have committed with, whoever you have a commitment, if you have a commitment with the father, with mother, with wife, with the son, with the daughter, see if you are already divorced you say ‘you are on your own I am on my own’ then no problem. But if you are still committed with father or mother or son or brother or sister or friend or business partner, whoever is involved in your life; if you are a lawyer - to your client, if you are a doctor - to your patient, if you are an engineer – to your customer; with whoever you are committed, taking responsibility for their expectation.

Please listen, now I am giving you the gist. Consciously building the best inner image, consciously building the best outer image, consciously taking responsibility for others expectation for you; I am not saying fulfilling others expectation. Getting it? Understand? I am not saying fulfilling others expectation, I am saying taking responsibility for others expectation. This three is ‘Authenticity’. Building best conscious inner image for you, best conscious outer image for you, responsibility - taking responsibility for others expectation about you; means you should be responsible for what you make others expect from you. And either you should change their expectation or fulfill their expectation. But for both you are responsible. Getting it? This is Authenticity.

Authenticity means; let me ask online cities, if you don’t understand, how many of you understand, cognize, what I am saying; please wave your hand. Yes. If you don’t understand now raise your hand, if you don’t cognize. Ok. Sparta New Jersey, shall I repeat? Please keep your hands raised so that I can talk to you directly. Building a conscious inner image for you and building conscious outer image for you and taking responsibility for others expectation about you. Ok? That’s all. Anybody else? Yes. No, no, do you understand this three point?

Last one? Taking responsibility for what others expect from you; for example, you are mother of somebody. You set a expectation to your son what he should expect from you. So you take the responsibility and set a scope of expectation. You understand? You set a scope and you fulfill it. Taking responsibility for what others expect from you. You set a proper scope and fulfill it; both. So all this three being put in one line. Sivananda where is your kaavi? You should not be without kaavi; either you should move to full sannyas …

All of you are getting it? Let me make it more clear with some more examples. Aligning your inner image, outer image and others expectation, all the three is Authenticity. Let me define, in any point in time, Authenticity is you being established and responding to life from the peak of your capability of who you perceive yourself to be for yourself, who you project yourself to be for others, what others expect you to be for them. It’s almost like a legal statement. Now let me make it very practical. What you think of you is almost like a bored, useless, repetition words; that is why you terribly feel bored of you. If others are not bored of you, you are a happy person, if you are not bored of you, you are a blissful person; understand. But if you look in, what you think of you, you will see a bored idea; because it is not consciously built. The possibility for updation is not there.

Now building a conscious personality, conscious inner image; we will be doing some process how to build. First we will have to find out when we built this accidental personality which we are carrying, maybe in the young age some accident, some powerless moments; accidents does not mean only road accidents. In Bharat accident mean road accident; that’s all. We don’t know any other accident. Even if your mother is beating you, you are standing powerless, shivering, you did 1-2 in your dress even that is an accident. Many times in those powerless moments you build idea about you, you build inner image about you.

Now we will dig out what we actually have, then we will plan how we can build. Ready? Please give the worksheet intranalysing sheet.

Please listen, I will read out and explain. Please listen. Authenticity - at any point in time, Authenticity is you being established in the peak of your capability and responding to life from who you perceive yourself to be for yourself or your inner image, who you project yourself to be for others - ahankara or outer image, what others expect you to be for them – anyakara – others image about you. Being authentic means living to the peak of all the three mentioned above.

Now it is a worksheet. From this point you have to answer.

1. Describe all the qualities you believe as part of your internal image - inner image. 2. Describe all the qualities you believe as part of your external image - outer image – how you project you to others. 3. Describe all the qualities others have shared with you as what they believe as part of the image they carry about you – means what others expect from you.

Now analyze the above and identify which of the qualities are not in alignment with the three images; you inner image, outer image, others image about you. Those are the aspects you need to work on. You have to now align all these three images of you that exist. This may include stretching your inner and outer image, it means internal and external image, to align with others image of you or take responsibility to transform others image and align it with your inner and outer image.

Clear? Now please start the work. Start answering the three questions. Then we will do what need to be done. You answer only these three questions.

Swamiji: What is the inner image you carry about you? What you feel about you? Tell me one or two points, there will be ten. One or two tell me.

Participant: I am a good mother. I am good wife. I am a good sister.

Swamiji: That’s what you feel about you inside?

Participant: Yes, yes

Swamiji: Ok, that is your inner image.

Participant: Ok

Swamiji: So what is your outer image? How you project you to others?

Participant: Same, I feel good.

Swamiji: So this is what you project to others. Then the third what others expect from you; your son, your daughter, and all of them, your sister, brothers?

Participant: Expectation will be more.

Swamiji: If the expectation is more what you told you feel as good mother inside and project as good mother outside is a lie. If this two are true, the expectation you would have already met. If you are not meeting then there is something wrong in inner image and outer image.

Participant: How to align?

Swamiji: How to align we will see later on; now only diagnose. Clear?

When we analyze, the first thing you will feel is let me go to have a cup of coffee, cup of tea, go to the bathroom. So no question of going to rest room other than the timing, and every once in two hours you will have rest room break. I think two hours you can manage. See now we started 10:15. Am I right? 10:15 we started the session, 12: 15 you will have a break; I think even before that. Before that they will have a break. Once they finish this they will have a break. Yes come on.

Participant: Swamiji, I have this question about the, societal questions not about myself. Like dowry system in Bharat.

Swamiji: No, no, no, now I don’t have answer for all that. No. I will not answer anything other than this subject of authenticity.

Question related to, the doubts related to authenticity ask. Other things I will not handle now; other things later on.

Participant: Is it right if I say this step is just collecting the data?

Swamiji: No, I can say more diagnosing.

Yes its time; 12:15. So how many of you completed writing? Still how many of you have not yet competed? Oh God! Break time also was there. Ok. Now analyzing and identifying the problem we will do later. Because when we find the root pattern we will analyze and correct. See now I only wanted you to diagnose. All of you finished the diagnosis; am I right? Curing we will do next when we find your root patterns.

I will move to the third principle ‘Responsibility’. Please come to the space of listening. Responsibility; Let me define responsibility. Manishaaaa. Sparta New Jersey, guys settle down. Listen, I will define responsibility. Please listen; come to the space of listening. Living and responding to life from the truth that you are the source of everything, therefore you are responsible for all happenings in and around you. Listen, listen, you are the source of everything. In your life you learn responsibility for so many reasons. People tell you, you have to become responsible only then you will be successful in your job. You have to be responsible only then you will have the good family. You have to be responsible only then you will be successful in your career. All that you hear; but I am not teaching you the corporate responsibility. No. Please understand even responsibility from right context, right context; whether you believe it or not, understand or not, you are the source of everything. You are the source of the cosmos.

We always have a problem whether earth goes round the sun or sun goes round the earth. You know even Vedic tradition says sun goes round the earth. Do you know that? Vedic tradition says both actually. Sun goes round the earth they are saying. And earth goes round the sun that also they say but Vedic tradition says sun goes round the earth. How many of you understand. How many of you don’t understand? How can sun go round the earth? You have doubt. How many of you have doubt? Come on if you have doubt raise the hand. How many of you have doubt? Ma can you give me one more bottle or two apple?

See this is the sun, this is the earth. This all of you know. It takes 365 days, one year all that. But you need to know this whole galaxy is moving. It is not static. This whole thing is going around – sun, earth, all the planets around the sun, stars around the sun; this whole galaxy is moving around something. Getting it? Then in billions and billions of years once the sun will go round the earth. Getting it? How many of you are getting it? If you still have a doubt, raise your hand, I will explain. Still have a doubt? See this is earth, this is sun. Earth goes round the sun all of us know. One year it takes. In average human beings life time - 75 years, 75 times this goes round. Your whole life you will see only 75 time this happening. That is why you are bothered more about this. But this whole system is going around. Sun is not static. You understand? Sun is not static. The whole thing is going around something. So by that time if the sun goes round then what will happen? In billions of years once sun will go round

sun will go round the earth. Clear? This guy will be continuously going around. But once in billions of years, this guy will also go round. It’s based on the ability to study the number of years.

Vedic tradition gives you the third truth. Please listen, earth goes round the sun- first truth, sun goes round the earth - second truth, third truth Vedic tradition gives - sun and the earth both goes round you. Both of them function centered on you. Your consciousness is the source. Your consciousness is the center out of which everything is happening. Understand from this context taking responsibility. Living and responding to life from the truth that you are the source of everything; therefore you are responsible for all happenings in and around you.

Many of you know ‘Advaitha’ - you are the source of everything. How many of you know this already? Second, every one of you know you have to take the responsibility in the life, only then you will be successful. How many of you know it? But never ever you combine this two. See everything is from me only but that is a theory, it will take long time to practice and become reality. And same way I have to take the responsibility for this, this, this, this, this; I will take slowly. Never you align the ultimate truth and the practical reality. Sometime you take responsibility in the life to become powerful. But I am not saying that. Take responsibility because you are powerful not to become powerful; because you are already powerful.

I have spoken elaborately on this responsibility. I am giving you only the gist. First thing living and responding to life from the truth that you are source of everything and therefore you are responsible for all happenings in and around you. And right context, that’s a more important thing. Please understand the right context - if you take responsibility to be successful in the business you will be successful in the business. If you take responsibility to be successful in the house you will have a successful family; you will be successful in the house. But if you take responsibility with the clarity you are the source of everything, every act you do will make you realize you are the source.

How many of you are getting it? How many of you are still not able to understand? See I am not asking you may have now question why should I take responsibility and all that? How can I be the source? That and all I will clarify. How many of you understand the definition of responsibility. Yes. See many time we ask how can I be responsible for everything? If an accident happens in the street how can I be responsible? Listen you may not be reason, but you are responsible. Many things in your life you may not be reason but unless you take the responsibility you will not come out of it.

I will give you example from my life. This persecution happened on me; I am not the reason but I am responsible. I am not reason but I am responsible. Unless I feel I am responsible I will never stand up again and solve the problem. Understand what I am saying? Otherwise I won’t solve the problem. Many things in your life you may not be reason but you have to be responsible.

Things for which even you are the reason if you don’t take responsibility, you are animal.

If you are reason and you take responsibility you are a human being.

You are not the reason even then you take the responsibility only then you become leader. Even if you are not the reason when you take the responsibility you are the leader.

True freedom can be experienced by you when you take responsibility inside the context that you are taking responsibility because you are powerful. Responsibility is not load, it’s a power. If you think responsibility is a load you will be afraid of more and more responsibility. If you understand responsibility is a power you will naturally take more and more responsibility.

Responsibilities. Let us intranalise responsibility. Let us intranalise responsibility. Please give the intranalysing sheet.

Participant: Swamiji I have a small question, doubt.

Swamiji: Go ahead

Participant: Responsibility, does it come after someone commits a mistake; that is we don’t have any say in others making a mistake. Only after they make the mistake we take responsibility?

Swamiji: No, no, no responsibility even before they commit; you are the responsible.

Please get the intranalysing sheet. All of you got it? If you have not got please raise your hand. What happened Anand, this side you see.

Anybody who has not got it please raise your hand? Ok. Now please listen, the third truth - living and responding to life from the truth that you are the source of everything therefore you are responsible for all happenings in and around you.

1. Identify the various conflicts that exist in your life. Write down all the aspects of each conflict you feel responsible for and all the aspects of each conflict you feel you are not responsible for. For each of the aspect that you think you are not responsible for, visualize and write down what will happen if you actually take the responsibility with the understanding that you are the source of even those aspects. Write down what will be the new thoughts, words, actions and new reality you will have in the same conflicting situations in your life now.

Read the question again and again two three times and continuously intranalyse and answer. I will answer any of your questions only after you complete the answers; not during. During the process please do not come up for any questions. End I will give you the time for questions.

Many births we have we can do it in one birth and get enlightened - The Hindu belief. Hmm ok we have births after births what is there. But now we can’t afford; only 10 days.

When you did this intranalysing, the new way of responsibility is possible for you; because responsibility is nothing but you just need to fantasize once and see that’s all. You just need to visualize and see yourself there, that’s all; nothing else. And simply you will be there; getting it?

Yes. So I will move to the next truth. The fourth important principle; the fourth principle - Enriching. Please listen, enriching is you taking responsibility with integrity and authenticity that you are committed to continuously enriching which is expanding yourself and life in and around you. Listen - enriching means - without giving up on you and others continuously making you to live this four tattva and others to live the four tattvas. The biggest problem you have is ‘why should I bother about others?’ How many of you have this doubt? I should live, why should I bother about others living? Someone can come to the mike. Come on anyone who has a doubt come, come to the mike. Why should I enrich others? Come on.

Swamiji: Now answer one by one; how many persons put together is you; like you are a son to somebody, employee to somebody, boss to anybody? Tell me what all the personalities put together is you.

Participant: see I am friend to so many people; I was a colleague to so many people,

Swamiji: Not was, you tell me now; only is.

Participant: I can say

Swamiji: Friend to so many even now

Participant: Right, friend to so many, son to two people and disciple of one and then nephew of few and colleague of few; So I can say around 200.

Swamiji: All right. Now listen. Till that people who are in the other end connected to you till they are complete can you become complete?

Participant: No, I will still have residue in me.

Swamiji: You will not. See how you can be a complete son? Only if your father is compete. How you can be complete son? Only when your mother is complete. How can you be a complete friend? Only when your friend is complete. How you can be a complete disciple? When your guru is complete. You understand? Same way I can be complete guru only when all of you are complete. Understand, actually you will see during the initiation, when I give unclutching initiation, I give the commitment, I give the commitment till you achieve the state in which I reside, the enlightenment, I will continue to support you. I have to continue to enrich you, even you leave the body or I leave the body; before your enlightenment if you leave also wherever you take birth I have to support you. Or I leave the body also the energy which is operating through this body also has to continuously support you. So till you are complete I cannot be complete. Understand it’s a commitment. There is only one way the relationship can break between you and me like how if you throw the mangalsutra out husband and wife relationship is over. Or if you take the divorce husband and wife relationship is over. Same way only when you abuse, the master-disciple, that umbilical cord gets disconnected. Till then nothing can be done. I have to be behind you. You understand, I have to be behind you because till then I am not complete. That is why still Buddha is available. Shirdi Baba is available. Ramana maharishi is available; because they are waiting till all their disciples are complete. Understand, till the other end is complete you can’t be complete; especially the committed relationships, especially committed relationships. You are getting what I am saying. So if you have to be complete, you should see to it you have put all your best effort to enrich the other ends of the people by not giving up on them. How many of you are cognizing it? because it is a too much of work we don’t want to take it up. See you don’t want to take it up because too much of work, I have no problem. That is different. But enriching is a basic necessity for your completion.

Participant: So I want to clarify, this thing you are saying is for all committed relationship like for a colleague or a relationship or a guru

Swamiji: Yes only that

Participant: You have to be integrated and authentic

Swamiji: Yes, yes only with that. For example, I am committed only with you. So for you I am committed. Till you achieve the state of what I am promising, that enlightenment, I cannot be complete. I have to be running behind you. I have to be go on be what to say that enriching you or looking or reminding you or something I will have to be doing. It’s my responsibility. I have to be doing. But not the fellow somebody who is not disciple or who is in the street whom there is no relationship, there is no connection. Neither he bothers about me or commited to me nor

I am bothered. Like somebody walks in and says I want you to have 100centuries like Sachin Tendulkar. I am not committed to it. You understand? Getting it? Somebody can walk in and say my anyakara about you - 100 century you have to give. You have to do 100 century like Sachin Tendulkar. No. because I neither committed with him nor that will be my responsibility. But, see now listen, I am making a very important statement. I commit with you that I will give you enlightenment but even if you come for the green card I am responsible; because I give you the expectation, the scope. I set a scope, so in that scope any anyakara you create I am responsible for it.

Understand what I am saying? See, listen, in my mamakara I feel myself as a empty space; when I sit in front of the mirror and try to find what exactly I feel about me, I see a vast empty space and the person who is trying to search suddenly falls into that abyss and disappears. That’s what exactly I feel about me. And the same way how I project me, I myself define me as an incarnation for giving that enlightenment, as an incarnation to share the enlightenment, understand, to share that enlightenment. All of you are getting it? Listen, the mamakara how I feel about me is vast space. The ahankara how I project me is incarnation to transmit that experience. But when I project that, in that scope if you expect me to heal you, if you expect me to get your green card, if you expect me to cause miracles in your life, I am responsible for it; I have to stretch me to it. Understand? Because it is in the scope. Surely the 100 century like Sachin Tendulkar is not in that scope. All of you are getting it? Causing a miracle in your life is in the scope of helping you to achieve enlightenment, transmitting the experience; because many things I have to complete by causing miracle so that you can move towards enlightenment. Whatever completion you need to have to move towards the higher experience I am responsible to cause those miracles for you to move. Understand?

Participant: I have a couple of other scenarios where I am little confused; like once I was travelling in a train. A person was talking about how their life was so tough and all. So I gave little intro about this tattvas; not in those words. It’s just that about integrity I told them and all that. And then they got out of the station. I told them I learnt it from Swamiji.

Swamiji: There is no responsibility there. But anybody who is involved in your life; you are responsible for all of them.

Participant: I have a friend in Bangalore I know from 8 years. So I every time I come to Bangalore I meet him once. I tell him about LBP

Swamiji: So then you can’t give up on him; still if you are having a friendship. If you break up then you are not responsible. As long as you have relationship you are responsible.

Participant: He once told me I don’t want any meditation, just shut up.

Swamiji: No you can’t give up on him. You understand?

Participant: So what should I do now?

Swamiji: You have to continue to enrich. You should listen to him. See how to listen and how to take the no’s out of him, that will come, in the next sessions we will see. But the person whom just you met in the railway station and went away, towards him you don’t have responsibility. But the person with whom you have cherished moments of friendliness, who is emotionally supporting to you, who is a moral support to you, your friend; see friend will have, each one will have a definition na? Who has stood by you, who has morally supported you, who has given you some strength during some moments; am I right? So if that is the definition of the friend, you have a commitment and you can’t give up on him.

Participant: What about blood relations that get severed?

Swamiji: Once severed over, nothing can be done. Even in my case once somebody abuses over; nothing can be done. Even I cannot do anything.

Participant: Why?

Swamiji: Because the umbilical cord connection gets disconnected. Then I am nobody for them. See I may give them the method and technology for them to grow; like how I make it available to everyone but I myself will not be able to raise them. As long as the umbilical cord connection is there with your mother only, the mother’s body can supply food for you. If the umbilical cord is cut she can give the food but you only have to eat or drink. If the umbilical cord is there I don’t need to supply; straightaway I can do what I want.

Participant: So that umbilical cord connection is heart to heart or is it like

Swamiji: It is ananda gandha to ananda gandha; not heart to heart; ananda gandha to ananda gandha. Once abusal is done verbally and active participation of abusal happens, means you listen and acknowledge, over! Because the initiation is received through words, verbal only. Verbally once it is done, it disconnects, over! That’s all. After that I can supply you the material like how mother can give food to the child; she can keep everything - child has to drink, child has to eat, child has to digest. Mother herself can’t do anything. Even I cannot do anything. It’s not that I am angry or anything; you understand? I don’t bother, I am not angry or anything, but even I cannot do anything.

Participant: So those people will have to move on some other

Swamiji: Move on means?

Participant: They will have to wait few more janmas for

Swamiji: Few more janmas and they have to evolve on their own. What to do? That’s it. So all of you understand the concept of enriching? Why enriching; listen. Sometime you enrich with a agenda - Oh this fellow if I enrich him now, support him, later on at some point he will be a support for me; as a future bank investment. That is not enriching. Enriching with a clear context, understanding, that everyone is part of you. Only when you complete with the other end you will be complete. For example, for you to be compete, all the relationships the other end you need to complete. Once you do that and feel complete then you will understand the whole thing is connected to you, the whole thing is connected to you.

Participant: It’s like the links is not visible right now

Swamiji: It will start happening.

Participant: See, currently my whole search for spirituality, I mean coming to you is, I was in pursuit of first is knowledge about death, then became enlightenment, then it became pursuit of happiness. Is it

Swamiji: It will evolve, evolve, evolve.

Participant: Is it ok to share with strangers.

Swamiji: You can share but you have no commitment with strangers. But with friends or relationships you have commitment.

Participant: What’s the difference between sharing and enriching? Verbally, verbatim what is the difference?

Swamiji: In sharing you do not have the commitment you have to make them listen. In enriching you are responsible for them to become integrated and authentic.

Participant: The funny part of what that is the strangers I really feel committed that they should listen; with my own friends I give up

Swamiji: Means there is so much of subtle anger must be there about them.

Participant: Ok, so previous imprints, because of that

Swamiji: Means some past incidents; the anger must be there.

Yes, you can sit. How many of you cognize enriching? Please listen, whatever you are doing, any good to anybody, at the back of your mind you have a hidden agenda; like if I give him coca cola today tomorrow he will give me Pepsi!

I have seen in my family. I am born and brought up in a lower middle class family and when my family some function happens, any relative, whatever the gift they give, they will take a big list and keep it and in their house if some function happens same cost they will take it and give. How many of you know this? In Bharatn village we do that. So that is not enriching; you understand? It’s a interest free loan; interest free loan is not enriching.

So whenever you enrich, contribute to others with a context of getting something in return is not enriching. But feeling that they are part of you is enriching. They are part of you, and one more thing, in this enriching not giving up on people that is a very important thing. Till you complete with them and they complete with you, till they come to the space of listening, not giving up on people, that is the most important thing. We will do the intranalysing work, then we will understand. Come on, get the sheets for them, get the work sheet for them.

That is going to be solved in the next, next sessions. You understand? Now your question is premature; still you have not learnt all the concepts.

Participant: Ok, I will reserve for the end Swamiji. Thanks.

That is why, that is why I wanted you to just, whatever is the question is there limit to that and think in that, contemplate on that, we will go to the next.

Participant: The second part of my question is about the umbilical cord. Yesterday in sarva darshan I actually asked you for forgiveness but I didn’t get your initiation. What I did was I was a

A guru disciple, means unclutching initiation from me?

Participant: I didn’t abuse you Swamiji; I just took a stance.

Then no problem. See if you mentally take a stand no problem. Only with word it gets disconnected; because with word only it is stitched; so then no problem. That is one thing. Second before that did you have unclutching initiation?

Participant: No I didn’t.

Then no problem.

But if you are visualizing about that side effect then it is not right. But the context is - he is part of me - is right. If the context you are visualizing that side effect then it’s not enriching.

Participant: Oh ya thank you

Ma, you announce. Let’s gather for next session. Thank you
