Context Is More Imporant Than Action (Isavasya Upanishad 10th verse)

It’s time to start. We will have continuous everyday as usual Nithya Satsang. I am hail-healthy to continue the Nithya Satsang everyday. I will continue on Isavasya Upanishad. Few days I was introducing Kathopanishad in Varanasi, but now I will be back to Isavasya Upanishad. I was expanding on love current of Mahadev.

And Isavasya Upanishad, 10th verse.

anyad evāhur vidyayā-anyad āhur avidyayā | iti śuśruma dhīrāṇaṁ ye nastad vicacakṣire || 10 ||

Please recite along with me.

anyad evāhur vidyayā-anyad āhur avidyayā | iti śuśruma dhīrāṇaṁ ye nastad vicacakṣire || 10 ||

Yes. The translation.

It is said that by vidyā, the knowledge cognized from the right context of grasping the Truth, Consciousness and the superficial knowledge acquired from the wrong context of grabbing (without cognizing the subtle Truth), certainly a different result is achieved. Similarly, it is said that by avidyā, the authentic actions and the ignorant actions, a very different result is achieved. Thus have we listened from those wise beings who explained that absolute principle to us.

Essence. The sacred secret. The key truth from this verse. The context you set for you. Please understand, the context you set for you before entering into action or life is more important than your decision of entering or not entering into life; and what you do or don’t do in life.

Listen once more. The context you set before entering into life is more important than what you do or don’t do in your life. Context. If you set the context of bhakti (devotion), your travel becomes pilgrimage. Food becomes prasad (remnants of divine offering). Water becomes tirtha. Ash becomes bhasma (holy ash). Music becomes kirtan. Man becomes human. Understand, setting the context is much more important than the action; omission or omission of acts. Doing something or not doing something. Doing something or not doing something is not that important than the context.

(7.23 mins) See, all the outer world rules and regulations, whether it is simple traffic rules or the law of the land is based on the action performed – commission or omission of acts; because outer world can understand only that. Outer world functions only with that. Outer world can measure only up to that. In search of stability and surety, possibility is forgotten. Listen. Yes, outer world can grasp only that. Whether you walk on the left side or right side, you should walk or not or not on the left side or right side; it can only go to that extent. Outer world can understand only to that extent is not wrong but they try to be become fanatically declaring - only that much exists - is something seriously wrong. The outer world, materialistic beings developing rules, regulations, laws - whether we should walk on left side or right side, whether we should go in left side or right side, whatever; forming those rules is nothing wrong, useful for day-to-day life. But when they try to declare – there ends the matter of life, nothing further exists – something is seriously wrong; then something is seriously wrong.

Thing which may be conducive, guiding you in day-to-day life may not help you, may not be conducive, may not be useful in life-and-death life. Understand, there is something called day-to-day life, something called life-and-death life. Which is conducive for your day-to-day life – walk on this path, drive in this direction, walk in this place. These are conducive for day-to-day life. When these people who form the day-to-day life’s laws, rules try to dictate the larger truths or interfere in the field of larger truths – there starts confusion, there starts ignorance, there starts manipulation, there starts exploitation. There is no lane system among the planets. There is no lane system in life and death traffic. Understand, the context set for day-to-day life may not be sufficient for life-and-death life. When you are entering into the street you need to know traffic rules; when you are entering into life, you need to know the laws of life, the truths of living enlightenment.

Setting the context before you enter into life. Please understand, life has no remote control. You have to get up and change it. Life has no remote control. You have to get up and change it. Setting the right context before you enter into the life. If you have the right understanding and context so much of activism, so much of activism will be there in you. Please understand, being alive, active, intensely active is one of the first qualifications for spiritual life.

Yesterday one of my Mahant, I asked him few questions about this vision department which is relaying my satsangs everyday. Actually they have dug almost how Vishnu dug at the feet of Shiva. They have dug a huge pit in front of me to fix all the electronic equipments, I was asking about it and some security issues I was talking. For that he replied – ‘after all I want enlightenment, why don’t you give that and leave me.’ The wrong concept of enlightenment. Understand, many times you guys think, enlightenment is like a puri, bonda or Bhaji, or pizza, sundal available on the street, I will just have to be deliver that to you and you will grab and run away to one corner of your room and eat it secretly without anyone’s knowledge. No! Have the right context. Intense energy and activism. Understand, intense energy and activism. It is activism. There starts the first step to enlightenment. Intensely alive, intensely active, intensely intent. Your intention should have intensity.

The context set for life plays a very important role than commission and omission of acts. Because, I have seen some of the richest people in the world but having so much of anger and irritation about the society which demands them to make more money, which respects them only based on their net worth, which constantly makes them to run to keep their identity alive. Please understand, I have seen some of the poorest human beings in the world who earn meal by meal, not even they earn full day salary. Morning if they work, they get their meal; evening if they work, they get their meal. If they are not able to work, they don’t get anything. I have seen that kind of people and I have seen some of the richest people. There are some people who spend, what they spend for their one day can be an asset for some of the poorest people for their whole life. I have seen both ends, both extreme people. Some of these richest people, even though they are generating wealth more and more and more, they have so much of anger towards the mechanism which is pushing them to earn more and more. I won’t call them rich people, I won’t call them wealthy people. I will call them - who are caught in that vicious circle accidently.

(18.17 mins)

Who is wealthy? Who is rich? I am defining. Please listen. Who can eat when he is hungry; who can drink when he is thirsty; who can sleep when he is tired; who is alive and active when he wakes up. Please understand, who can eat when he is hungry, not the fellow who has to eat whenever friends gather, family gathers or whenever he needs to eat for the courtesy sake, he needs to drink for the courtesy sake. No. I won’t call him rich. Who can eat when he is hungry, drink when he is thirsty, sleep when he is tired; be active when he is fresh; who has straightforward, simple realistic life – living with reality. Neither the ambitions, whims and fancies are required to fuel him, inspire him, excite him nor the delusory fear, imaginary illusory greed can drive him crazy.

Understand, wealthy man is one who is healthy within. Healthy within is wealthy. Who has the right context for life, right context for what he is doing. Anybody who feels he has completed whatever he wants to do, he is complete within himself, who is fulfilled within himself, feels he is living lonnngggg. Person who feels incomplete always feels - death comes much earlier, death has come untimely. Please understand, there is no such thing as untimely. Death can never come in untime. He comes in time. He doesn’t know something called untime. He always comes on time. When you have the context of being in the space of fulfilled, content, complete you feel life has so much to offer. It is so rich, so vast. The person who feels life has so much to offer, life itself is too much – is wealthy. He lives wealthy life. Once you feel complete, you will feel like overflowing with life, sharing it with the whole world. Actually enriching happens only after thoroughly you feel complete. You support others, you enrich others, you enrich everyone’s life, only when you feel fulfilled, completely complete.

Setting the context of completion brings activism in your life. That activism is the first step for Living Advaita. Again I am going to repeat the same truth may be 11,248th time – bring completion to yourself before entering into anything. Bring completion into yourself before entering into anything. There is no hurry in life for you to jump into something and destroy it. Bring completion into your life. Purnatva, bring purnatva into your life. Only when you enter into the space of purnatva, you experience the love current of Mahadev. Only then you experience the love current of Mahadev. Understand, the love current of Mahadev is one of the most important, most powerful, most important and most powerful, brilliant, intelligent, energetic, efficient, alive, ultimate experience of life.

Understand, love current of Mahadev not just gives you energy, it makes you become Mahadev. It makes you, it transforms you into Mahadev. Unsaid, unspoken, deeper, I can say in a way, deepest realities of life; deeper, as I said deepest realities of life. Understand, unsaid deeper realities of life reveal to you by the love current of Mahadev is what I call siddhis, powers. The society thinks them as miracle powers.

Recently one of my Gurukul kids went to a big Hindu conference and demonstrated the power of third eye. In those days, Gurus, all big-big Gurus, Gurujis go to all the big-big conferences, business summits speak, impress influence people, collect some money. I never go to any of that. My Gurukul kids go, do. When people try to invite me for all these conferences I tell them, “please take my Gurukul kids, that’s enough.” So recently one of this kind of conferences, my Gurukul kid went and she demonstrated the power of third eye and blindfold reading and above all she answered all the questions very clearly, straightforward. Finally they were trying to dig out from her, what is the technique, secret, secret, what you practice to have this power. She said – ‘Technique? Swamiji gave one day and initiated all of us and said – ‘You start reading blindfolded. You will have power of third eye’. ‘And we started reading, that’s all.’ People were trying to dig out the technique.

Listen. Love current of Mahadeva awakens unknown possibilities of you in ‘you’ without even giving you any technique. It is just love current. See, what you think as you is not only not you, it is hiding, covering the real you from ‘you’; it is hiding and covering the real you from ‘you’. Love current of Mahadev will expose the real you to ‘you’ - which is hidden by what you think as you. Love current of Mahadev shows you the real you to ‘you’ which is HE. Alters your very DNA, alters your very space, alters the very you.

My blessings, I bless you all. Let you all radiate with integrity, authenticity, responsibility, enriching, causing Living Advaita, the eternal bliss. Nithyananda.

Thank you. Be Blissful.
