ROOT OUT YOUR ROOT PATTERN-PART 2

First we will do the introduction game. Come on, listen. I am remem...I am reminding the rules of the game. First, you will not give any social introduction. That is the first game. Second: You will introduce yourself with your inner image, outer image and other's image and listen to the other person's inner image, outer image, other's image. Clear? One more thing. First you have to start in the opposite gender because that is where you always hold your identity. All the men please move to the women's side. All the women please move to the men's side. So you will start the introduction from the opposite gender.

Start the game.

Please go around. You will not go to the family members first. Go, go to the participants. You have to share with every individual. Please go around and meet with all the other two hundred people. Introduce yourself. Go around. Don't sit. Actively participate.

Please settle down... How many of you, listen. How many of you felt everyone is like you? How many of you felt the deep compassion? Really, if you authentically you felt that compassion that everyone is like me only struggling? Raise your hand. Let Me see. How many of you felt that - that Advaitha. It is just so many bodies but same being moving around. Raise your hand. Can I have few people come to the mike and share your experience. Let Me listen.

Participant: Swamiji, I felt that it was very empowering and very liberating.

Swamiji: Hmm...How many of you really felt that great liberation. Oh God! Which I was carrying on the ages on the head is gone. Hmm...

Participant: Swami, all my interaction was with opposite gender only. I felt comfortable in sharing with opposite gender rather than the same gender. I don't know why. (laughter)

Swamiji: That is okay.

Participant: So..next is like, I was, I am very happy, I was honest to myself. I was telling what I was really felt and what I felt is like every people is more or less similar to what I thought. I feel, I felt like the same advaitic space . Nithyanandam.

Swamiji: Tathastu. Please go ahead.

Participant: I saw that everyone in life is doing their own thing and we are disconnected and we are separate thing and today I realised we are all a big family and we all have.

Swamiji: (Clapping) If you guys feel connected to what she is sharing, you can clap. So that with that, the sound of clap I know how many people resonate the same. (audience clapping)

Participant: I felt very very empowered and connected that we all can actually change and be together as a family. So this was amazing experience. Thank you so much for that.

Swamiji: Blessings. Go ahead.

Participant: Nithyanandam Swamiji. (In Tamil)... What is there in us only is there in everyone. We are searching for that but thinking of giving pain to others. Even when I came to the ashram first there was no incident. But now only after you started this I have felt good relationship. I am thinking of taking this to the outer world.

Swamiji: Tathastu

Participant: Swamiji I have heard about Advaitha and non duality and so many books from so many Swamis I have heard. Today I think I just got a strong insight into it. I feel very compassionate Swamiji. I want to help everybody in this room. I want to be there for everyone. I want to be there as a big space so that we all get over our root pattern.

Swamiji: That is exactly Advaitha does to you.

Participant: Thank you swamiji and I want to spread this knowledge to everyone. Bring everyone under your coverage so that

Swamiji: Not mine. Vedic.

Participant: Vedic

Swamiji: (Laughter)

Participant: Nithyanandam. The first thing I realise is that the same words come over and over again from different people which proves that we all live the same experience which is the experience of the ego. And I have to say that your exercises are wonderful. I ..I was able to find three incompletions and I had two completed. There is one that I haven't completed. But I will complete as soon as I have the opportunity to meet the people. Nithyanandam.

Swamiji: Blessings. Go ahead.

Participant: After sharing the experience with so many people, I felt real Advaith bhavana here. Everybody is sailing in the same boat and everybody's problem are most almost same.

Swamiji: Blessings. Go ahead.

Participant: Nithyanandam Master. Well very short. I was scared, little bit scared, talking to people. But then later on I just got excited to talk to myself. I just felt that everybody is myself. So...

Swamiji: That's all.

Participant: So I didn't want to do this exercise. I was very much against this at first. But then once I got into it I really enjoyed it. Before I got into when people said inner and outer image, I just said, no, no, no..I am, you are, this is and then I realised, we are only a hundred and eighty people here and so many people out there that need to be enriched with this ...

Swamiji: No more than hundred and eighty...two hundred.

Participant: Yes but that is only two hundred as a world right now and so many people need to learn this and understand we are all the same, we are all the same.

Swamiji: Go ahead.

Participant: Hi Swami...this is a very exhilarating exercise. And I felt...at first I felt..oh, oh the jig is up...you know and I honestly thought nobody would really want to talk to me. So I kind of got in there and mixed with people. One of the things I noticed is how it brought my inner and outer image into greater focus. You know than what I had previously put down on paper and depending on who I talked to the story kind of shifted a little bit because some people gave me a lot of information about themselves and I felt obliged to give a lot of information about myself as well, you know. But it was very liberating and I found you know I normally talked to people. I look at them in the eyes but during this exercise I found myself focussing on the mouths and seeing the words form and the vibration and the energy that came out and I felt the pain of people speaking the truth you know. So thank you.

Swamiji: Hmm...Hmmm (Clapping) Please go ahead.

Participant: Namaskaram Swamiji. Swamiji there couldn't have been a more beautiful way of doing the things than the way you have put up. If I have really understood the importance of why you wanted us to have the exercise. One is like everyone said we have realised we are all the same. Languages may be different, words may be different and I wanted to thank you for giving me a mirror through which I could see so many different reflections of my form.

Swamiji: How many of you found that everyone is your mirror! Raise your hand. That's all.

Participant: And another thanks I want to give you swamiji. If in less than one third of the duration of the program, you can open up so much for us, I can't even imagine what you are going to do...

Swamiji: Understand. Program starts today... Program starts today. Till today is only and introduction session. Because only today we found the root pattern and only from today we are going to start working on it...working on it. Understand.

Participant: Thank you very much swamiji and then most of the other participants also would have felt this. Why you insisted on doing multiple presentations. It is my personal feeling. When I was reliving that again and again, I saw perceptively the power that was holding on me, dropping sequentially. So I hope everyone has undergone that.

Swamiji: Thank you.

Participant: Thank you Swamiji.

Swamiji: Go ahead ma.

Participant: Swamiji, from the past few days and specially today we have been writing down what we feel about ourselves and all that. Somewhere inside there is a voice saying that I can never overcome this sort. That pattern of impossibility. Today I went on talking to everybody, I could see that possibility in them and I mean especially for the somebody I knew and they were saying that they were not intelligent and all that I can't do this. I mean I wanted to tell them like...what's wrong with you. I know how you are...I mean you are not...I mean I didn't say it...I was thinking it. That kind of helped me how many people would see me and think that to themselves. So I have that same possibility to get over the...

Swamiji: Tathastu. Listen. Today you guys are going to complete, start the completion with root pattern. Let's gather for next session. Thank you.
