Keno Upanishad’s Shanti Mantra, I was introducing yesterday’s Satsang. Let’s recite the Shanti Mantra and enter into the understanding…
Aum apyayantu mamangani vakpranascaksuh Srotram athobalam indriyani ca sarvani Sarvam brahmopnisadam Maham brahma nirakuryam ma ma brahma Nirakarod anirakaranamstva nirakaranam mestu| Tadatmani nirate ya upanisatsu Dharmaste mayi santu te mayi santu|| Aum shanti shanti shantih||
Two important truths I want you to learn. First, the Vedic way of living, Vedic lifestyle starts with peace, ends with peace. All the knowledge we generated, please understand, we had everything and much more what modern sciences produce now.. Whether it’s jet planes, missiles, nuclear weapons, chemical weapons we had everything and much more in Vedic Age, in Vedic Era but we were very clear - It’ll only be for peace. It will only be for peace. Understand, we start with peace, end with peace, whether it is rituals, ceremonies, teaching, knowledge transmission, everything, everything. Knowledge is only for peace.
Only one big crime, the modern day Hindus did is...they think peace is important, so let us avoid conflicts. No! By avoiding conflict, you will never be in peace. By avoiding conflict, if you try to be in peace, naturally the other forces will push you, push you, push you to the corner till you become non-existent. Avoiding the conflicts is not methodology for peace. Right methodology for peace: facing it, solving it. Peace is the purpose that does not mean we are afraid of conflicts. Peace is the purpose does not mean we are afraid of conflicts. Peace is the purpose, does not mean we are powerless to handle conflicts. That is the one of the biggest crime the modern day Hindus did. Trying to avoid conflicts to have peace. That is why, modern day Hindus lost their backbone.
Peace is the purpose, but not avoiding the conflicts but by facing and resolving it. We start with peace, and end with peace, live in peace, does not mean we are weak, No!
First thing you need to know, peace is your goal. But not in the way the middle class understands. Middle class can never grasp any truth with its context, so it tries to cook up his own theory. The middle class way of living peace avoiding conflicts, No! Facing it and resolving it is the royal way of peace. Facing it and resolving it, facing the conflicts, and resolving the conflicts is the royal way of Peace. Upanishads are royal science, not the middle class science. It is the royal science.
Listen!
First thing, you need to know about the Shanti Mantra, the peace, it should always be the purpose and goal. Peace of the individual, peace in the family, peace in the society, peace in the community, peace in the country, peace in the world, peace in the universe. That's the goal. But not by avoiding the conflicts, but by facing it and resolving it. But by facing it and resolving it. I am trying it to remove all the stupid frills got associated with Yoga in the name of Christ Yoga, Jesus Yoga, inverted cat pose, downward dog pose. These are the frills need to be removed from Yoga, not the rituals and Hindu cultural association with Yoga. Hindu cultural association with Yoga is not cultural frills. The dilution done by the marketers of the yoga, is the frills need to be removed. I should call as uncultural frills. Instead of facing the conflict and resolving it, trying to escape from it! That is not peace. Trying to escape from the conflict is middle class mind; facing it and resolving it is royal mind. Even while facing and resolving, being in the peace is Enlightened mind.
(12:25) Claps..
First thing, goal is peace, that does not mean you will avoid conflicts, you will be afraid of conflicts. Goal is peace, by facing and resolving the conflicts. Second thing you need to know, Power of Declaration. Understand! The last Upanishad, Isavasya Upanishad, Rishis were introducing the science of prayer, Sohamasmi. Even when I pray, you and Me are one and the same. Sohamasmi, even when I pray, you and Me are one and the same. A beautiful introduction to prayer. Now, Rishis are taking us to the next level. I tell you, declaration is the peak of prayer. Declaration is the highest possibility of prayer. In the prayer, one line of low inner image is retained. You always do the stupidity of putting yourself low to raise God high, which is not required, even though I repeat it again and again and again. To make God great, to put the God on the higher pedestal, you do not need to put yourself down, you do not need to put yourself low, but you don’t listen. Always, one line of lower inner image is associated with prayer. Unfortunately, that became a trend. So with prayer, it’s always...strong remembrance one line of lower inner image, lower self-identity. With the declaration, that is not there. Ordinary unconscious prayer, the lower self inner image, the lower idea of you, lower image of you is praying to the highest expression, God. Isavasya Upanishad, the prayer is taken to the next level, where you are taught, Sohamasmi, Even when I am praying, you and Me are from the same Source, O Source! make what I want as reality.
Now the Keno Upanishad is taking it to the next level, declaration, not prayer, Me, My ability to Will. Understand, just like you various abilities, ability to see, ability to use your hands, ability to use your legs, ability to listen, ability to think, you have something called ability to Will. The ability to Will integrates all your abilities. The ability to Will is the spiritual umbilical cord connection with cosmos. Understand, other than God, no one can Will.
When we are told only God’s Will can be done, means actually no one else can have Will. Only God can have Will. If you are having the power to Will, you are connected to God, you are part of God, you are Him. Understand! Power to Will is umbilical cord connection with God. Our umbilical cord connection with God is our power to Will. If you Will, no one can deny it. Even, God cannot deny it, because your Will is bestowed on you by God. The upanishad does not say, “Oh, Brahman! Let all my energies be awakened” No! It does not say, “Oh, Sadashiva! Let all my energies be awakened” No! It says, “May my limbs, speech, vital energy and all senses be fully matured and enriched with strength and energy”, apyayantu mamangani. I tell you, every line when I read and understand, I am again in love with Vedic Rishis..
Claps…
Every time, I read a statement and understand, I just fall for them once more. What a unselfish, powerful revelation of truth? But Upanishad Rishis, such vast realizations, but zero tendency of exploitation. In the modern day, the more you exploit, more you are successful. Especially, when I hear these horror stories of doctors coming out and confessing, that they falsely diagnose people with cancer. Even though the patient has no cancer, just for the sake of selling medicines and false treatment.
This is just horror story, worst than murder stories, worst than rape stories. When I hear all these in the modern day, and read the lines of Upanishadic Rishis, what an amazing, powerful strength and zero selfishness? All their plans are only to strengthen you. When I read these verses I understand, what a great unselfish, dedicated, sacrificing, empowering, Consciousness? Just for their purity, they are worthy of worshipped as Gods.
Claps...
Every time they are only interested in empowering you. Everytime, they are only interested only in awakening you, the stronger part of you. They are not interested in reminding your weakness and telling you you're a sinner and keeping you under them, No! They are no way interested in that. The first verse starts with, “May my limbs, vital life energy, apyayantu mamangani vakpranascaksuh srotram athobalam indriyani ca sarvani”. It does not say, “Oh God, let my limbs, speech, life, vital energy become strong” No! No!
Apyayantu mamangani, I am declaring, “May My limbs, speech, life, vital energy, eyes, ears and all the senses be fully matured and enriched with the strength and energy, because My Will is God’s Will- mama Sankalpa Shiva’s Sankalpa mastu”.
Claps.. Music..
(23:39) My Will is the umbilical cord connection with the cosmos. If I will something, it has to shake the Cosmos. Cosmos has to make it into reality, because I am IT. I am still connected to IT. If I don’t have the power to Will, I am disconnected from IT. If I, as long as I have the power to Will, I am authority. I am authorized to Will. I tell you guys, just use this one truth. All My temples should teach this prayer, teaching human beings to create the Will and make it into reality. You will be so strong, so beautiful.
(24:54) Understand, only strong beings will be beautiful beings, only strong beings will keep the order in the life. Some time, people will tell me, “Oh, If all us can will, all our will can criss-cross and create so much of chaos. No! Strong people create order, only weak people will create chaos.
(25:17) Claps….Music
(25:22) Strong people never create chaos. Strong people create order. Only weak people create chaos.
(25:38) See this land, Kashi is the land of learning From how many thousands of years, I don’t know, this place was land of learning. This place is the symbol of Vedic Culture. All the learning is only used for peace. All the learning is only used for peace. Strong people create order. They do not create chaos. Kashi is the symbol. See the whole Kashi, everything is in order. Only people who don’t understand they think it is chaos. If you understand, it is everything is in order. All of us live together. Strong people create order, not chaos.
(27:11) I think yesterday committed, I will speak on Upanidshads and help you guys to manifest all the powers. I think Sadashiva is doing both the job, because this same science only to manifest all the powers also. This is the same truth. Upanishads are talking in the first verse and this is the same truth used for manifesting the powers. For manifesting all powers just you need to declare, Will. Will means ajna, ajna means third-eye. Third eye means Varanasi.
(27:53) Claps...Music
(28:00) Varanasi has two meanings; the place between the eyebrows and the nose, place between Varuna and Asi. Place between the eyebrows and the nose, third eye. Place between Varuna and Asi, Varanasi.
Your Will is seated on the Ajna Chakra, third-eye. Varanasi is the right to manifest the power, to practice. Your Will can powerfully integrate you with Whole, Brahman or Sadashiva. The word Sadashiva seems to be more tasty, juicy, because not only it is the source of everything, it manifests not just experiences, powers too. Brahman seems to be more experience, Sadashiva is experience and expression put together.
(29:43) Claps….
(29:57) Brahman seems to be shaved faced, young boy, okay. Sadashiva seems to be very matured, manifesting. Whether it is Brahman or Sadashiva, Will is the umbilical cord through which you manifest. Will is the umbilical cord through which you and Sadashiva are connected. You and Brahman are connected. You and the universe are connected. As long as you have power to will, you have a right to Enlightenment.
(30:56) Claps…
(31:04) Power to Will is the right to Enlightenment. When you have the key to treasure, when you have the key to treasury and not enjoying the treasures, you are fool. When you have the Will, which is the key to enlightenment and manifestation of all the powers and you are not manifesting it, you are fool. Don't’ waste your Will. Don’t wait, it will be there forever with you, even if you don’t use. Don’t think it will be there with you even if you don’t use. And don’t take your Will for granted. When you have it better use it. When you having it, better use it. If you don’t use it, Sadashiva may think, “oh, I think he doesn’t need it”, and It can be taken away any day. Before it is taken away, use it. Come to Kashi, when you have two legs to walk. Don’t wait for eight legs to carry you.
(32:27) Claps... (32:33) Come to Kashi, when you have two legs to walk, don’t wait eight legs to carry you. Use your Will, when you’re having it. Ability to Will is the peak of human consciousness you can experience. Ability to Will is the peak of human consciousness you can experience. For all the disciples and SMASH team this is the one liner for you guys today. Ability to Will is the peak of consciousness. Use it to manifest the Universe in you. Will is the umbilical cord, connects you and the Universe. Will it and make it. Will it, it will be. Use your power of declaration. You should use at least next 24 hours and have the understanding about your Will, the power of your Will, then I will teach you this verse which can become reality, just by your Will. Because this verse is the best Will you can create.
It’s unfortunate, in English, I don't have any other word to translate ajna. But you need to know, in English will is used for future tense. In Sanskrit, ajna is present tense. There is a big cultural difference. The moment I translate, the juice is lost. Will is more like a future in English but in Sanskrit ajna is present.
Nothing, just next twenty four hours, still tomorrow morning, you come back to the tomorrow’s satsang, just create a few Will, some declaration and see how it starts manifesting in you. Come back with that experience and confidence. And I tell you, you won’t fail, you’ll only gain confidence.
(35:56) Claps…
(36:02) Try to create some Will in your life. It can be as simple as the red signal in the traffic signal should change. It can be as simple as the traffic light should change to green, to as difficult as my wife should listen to me.
(36:22) Laughing...smiling
(36:30) Create a Will and see how it manifests and come back with that confidence. And I tell you, once you understand the science of Will, so much, so much, can be manifested by you. So much of order, so much of love, so much of life, can be manifested in you. Please listen, Sadashiva is waiting for each one of you to manifest Him, because more and more of you manifest Him, more and more joy in the planet Earth. More and more of you manifest Sadashiva’s powers, more and more bliss in the life. More and more of you manifest His powers, more and more consciousness in the world. So that is the best you will do to you and you will do to others. More manifestation of Sadashiva’s powers!
Don’t ever think, “Oh, I am also trying to manifest but God is putting a lot of obstacles in the front”. No! You’re putting the obstacles, He is helping you to remove it. Change your understanding.
(38:18) Claps (38:21) He is not putting the obstacles; you're putting the obstacles. He is helping you to get out of it. Will, Will, Will. Will is the umbilical cord through which you’re connected to Universe. Try, get back to me tomorrow with success, then I will teach you the meaning, because when you create this Will as per this Shanti Pata, it should simply become reality. Let’s recite the shanti Pata once more.
Apyayantu mamangani vakpranascaksuh Srotram athobalam indriyani ca sarvani Sarvam brahmopanishadam Maham brahma nirakuryam ma ma brahma Nirakarod anirakaranamastva nirakaranam mestu| Tadatamani nirate ya upanisatsu dharmaste Mayi santu te mayi santu|| Aum Shanti Shanti Shantih||
(41:37) I bless you all, let you all radiate, let’s all radiate with integrity, authenticity, responsibility, enriching and causing living Shuddhadvaita Shaivam, the Eternal Bliss, Nithyanandha. Thank you. Be Blissful.
