Love Yourself First

In the Hindu tradition, a Brahmachari who starts the spiritual life, he is asked to do three things. In this three, any one he has to do, sometimes all three.

One, he has to do Go-Seva means serving the cows, taking care of the cows or he has to go around and beg and collect food or sit in the cremation ground and watch the dead bodies being burnt day in and day out. All this three completes the violence you carry inside. All this three, any one process or all the three put together makes you complete with the hatred you carry inside.

If you see the bodies being burnt day in and day out, you understand, “Oh God! Like this only this body is going to be burnt, then why am I foolishly carrying so much of junk inside me, stinking hatred or anger”; that understanding will land on you.

Or if you do Go-Seva, taking care of the cows, everyday touching the cows… you see, cow carries a very beautiful, best possible Bio-Memory of giving love. The Bio-Memory of the love is available in its peak form in the cow body.

In the Pashu, cow, the loving, non-violent giving Bio-Memory is available when you do the Go-Seva by touching it. Everyday washing, cleaning, taking care, cleaning the cow dung, milking, feeding the calf, feeding the cow, that Bio-Memory gets transmitted.

I used to think sometime why the traditionally they have that idea of Go-Seva as a Prayaschitta for your anger or sins committed.

In many of the Gurukuls, Ashramas if a disciples somes… does some mischief, mischief for… does some mistake, Go-Seva is given as Prayaschitta.

I used to wonder why? Later on, I found out… I also experientially saw, it is true cows carry the most beautiful loving, sharing, caring, non-violent Bio-Memory; that is why you should never eat cows meat.

You should take care of the cows. When you touch, take care, protect the cows, that beautiful Bio-Memory gets transmitted to you.

If you eat the cows, when you kill the cows, so much of that cow’s suffering, sorrow, even after being so loving, he is been killed, she has been killed, that sorrow will get stored in the Bio-Memory and it will get into your system.

You will all the time feel you are a victim, so don’t eat cows. Love them, don’t eat them. Understand, this is the slogan we should raise, “Love them, don’t eat them”.

So, Go-Seva, serving the cows or going around and begging and sharing that begged food with others, even that takes away your violence.

When you go around and beg, you will understand the magnanimity, generosity of the people. You will start developing love for the people.

So listen, in this three, any one or all three completes the hatred you carry, the anger you carry.

In our Gurukul, I gave a, one more powerful process, talking to the lotus plants and making them drop their thorns, that is also basically to get you out of that anxiety, fear pattern, hatred, violence pattern. The hatred or violence gets developed when you are constantly in anxiety and fear.

When you talk to a rose plant everyday and make that plant drop their thorns, not by forcibly plucking, by automatically. You will develop such a subtle grounded Bio-Memory in you. I tell you, feeling grounded…

I can give you one more tip, if you lie down on the floor, belly button touching the ground, you will feel grounded and lot of your anger and hatred will come down, will become complete.

When you want to complete with a hatred with others or hatred with yourself, lie down, your belly button touching the ground.

If the ground is too cold, maybe you can use a Kambal or blanket but pushing your belly on the ground, lie down and do the Completion. All the hatred towards others and towards yourself, the Bhuma Devi, the Earth will suck and release you from that incompletions. You will be grounded. You will be grounded completely.

It’s a very powerful tip and technique. It will be very powerful process for Completion.

I know I have not started even expa… I did not even go to the second statement, I am only still expanding on the first statement. Maybe the second statement I will expand on tomorrow’s Satsang but today let Me at least complete the first statement.

Listen, hatred cannot be justified. Gender, race, colour, creed, religion, sex, language, province, geography, nothing can be, nothing can be the reason for hatred. Nothing can be the reason for the hatred.

Only when you complete with all the hatred, you will realize, suddenly like you will wake up, “Hey God! Both side, the person who is hating and being hated; both side is me. Because of the heap of hatred, I forgot that I am playing both side game”.

Realizing you are playing both side game is Advaitic experience.

You are the Gods, you are the demon, you are the Meru hill, you are churning, realizing it is nectar, Amruta and denying to realize it is poison, Visha.

How much ever poison you vomit, out of his compassion Mahadeva keeps it in His throat. Neither it affects Him nor it affects you, and He gives you the nectar; that’s the most, safest place He can keep the poison so that nobody is affected, that is why he kept it in His throat.

Sometime you have to keep things safely, not because they are valuable, because they are dangerous.

All the valuables are kept safely by Vishnu, all the dangerous things are kept safely by Mahadeva. What to do? He keeps all the dangerous things safely so that the world is not affected by it.

So please listen, please listen, everything is you. Whoever you love is extension of you. Whoever you hate is extension of you. Whoever you doubt is extension of you. Whoever you have trust is extension of you. Everything is extension of you, you, you.

I can add, few more techniques. One, lying down the belly, pressing the belly on the ground and completing. Sitting in the breathing Space of Ganga and completing. Sitting in the breathing space of Ganga means the distance, the breeze of the trees which is routed in the Ganga water.

See, the trees which drinks the Ganga water through their roots. The breeze, the distance the breeze goes is a breathing Space of Ganga.

Sitting in the breathing Space of Ganga and completing, all these can completely heal, complete the violence, hatred, doubt, distrust, denial you carry with others and yourself. The anxiety pattern can be completed.

When you complete with that anxiety pattern, I tell you, you realize everything is just extension of you, you, you alone.

With this understanding, when you start thinking, talking, acting, feeling, you are in the Space of Completion, you are Kalpataru.

So the essence of today’s Satsang, all incompletions, bad things, negativity starts with the hatred towards yourself and hatred towards others.

Even feeling unsettled, incomplete, everything; anxiety, the subtle tremor, trembling, shaking, constantly you carry inside, “What will happen? What will happen? What will happen?” is nothing but this deep denial and doubt you carry about you and others.

So, with this I complete and move to the… I will give the essence of Hindi.
