Your Cognitions Define You, Not Actions

I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees, disciples, Samājīs, Satsaṅgīs, Śrī Mahānts, Mahānts, Thanedar, Kotharis, visitors, viewers sitting with us all over the world through Nityānanda TV, two-way video conferencing having Nayana Dīkṣā. I welcome all of you with my love and respects.
[00:01:19] I’ll expand on 2nd and 3rd verse of Nityānanda Jñāna Paddhati, the ultimate compilation from the revealed scriptures of Hinduism - Vedas and Āgamas.
तत्सर्वं कथयिष्यामि योगयुक्त्या श्रुणु प्रिये । यत्स्वरूपं निजं शुद्धं व्यापकं सर्वतोमुखम् ॥ १.२२ ||
tatsarvaṃ kathayiṣyāmi yogayuktyā śruṇu priye । yatsvarūpaṃ nijaṃ śuddhaṃ vyāpakaṃ sarvatomukham ॥ 1.22 ||
सर्वभूतान्तरावस्थं सर्वप्राणिषु जीवनम् | योगगम्यं दुरासादम् दुष्प्रापम्कृतातम्भिः || १.२३ ||
sarvabhūtāntarāvasthaṁ sarvaprāṇiṣu jīvanam | yogagamyaṁ durāsādam duṣprāpamkṛtātambhiḥ || 1.23 ||
Understand, ... the translation of these two verse. I’ll speak about all that. Listen Dear, established in Yoga, the uniting space of Oneness with Me. Its real form and nature is without origin, pure, pervading, ... pervading all and having faces everywhere. It is existing within all living creatures and present in the hearts of all things. Attained by Yoga, difficult to accomplish, hard to attain for all beings.
You should know very clearly when Mahādeva, Paramaśiva says, He exists in all beings, but He is not attained by all beings. Really! Important understanding you need to have; understand, ... your actions does not define you, your cognitions define you. He may be in you but you will not be in Him. If you think only your actions define you, you, He may not be in you but you ... Please listen, He may be in you but you will not be in Him.
[00:04:07] If you don’t have violence inside, ... if your cognition is “let’s all coexist,” even your ferociousness will be so useful for humanity, like Mahādeva’s ferociousness. If you have the cunning strategy, violence-based, even your charity will be cheating. I tell you, ... most of the time charity is cheating. In a very low level charity is for name and fame. Little next level, the charity is to get some puṇya - good karma, merit, for other world. In the next level, charity is a very cunning cheating strategy to keep the concept of money alive, understand. If the poor know they are never going to get money anyway, they are not going to run after it. To keep the value of the currency, you need to circulate it. And you cannot make them realize that currency has no value; then it’s almost like a, you ended up in marriage … where you suddenly realize all your love, romance, everything has disappeared. Understand, neither you can be made to realize currency has no value, nor you can feel you can never get currency. Constantly the carrot need to be dangled in front of your eyes. Charity is used many time to dangle the carrot. With violence even charity is cheating; if your cognition is violence, even charity is cheating. If your cognition is “let’s all coexist,” ... what you believe as your core value - you, if that is based on “let’s all coexist happily, beautifully,” then even your so-called anger will just be ferociousness. It’ll not do bad to humanity. It’ll do only good to humanity. It’ll do good to you and to humanity.
[00:07:24] Cognitions matter than the action. That is why Mahādeva says, “I may exist in you but you may not [inaudible - be in] Me till you look up to your Source.” It’s like a Bharatn parents, the best place to keep the money hidden is the kid’s school notebook which they never touch. The best way to hide for the God is inside your consciousness, which you never enter. He is hiding right above your nose - Ājñā - Third Eye. I don’t want to say right under your nose, right above your nose. The place you never see. The place you never look for. He is sitting right inside you. And you have a great delusion called “I don't know how to look inside me.” What you think as you hold that with will persistence; that is what is the technique to look inside you. What you feel as you, you perceive as you, go on be holding it, holding it - you will see many layers dissolve, disappear. Core the hold. Hold the core you - your perception about you, your understanding about you, your idea about you, your feeling about you. Understand, ... when you try to catch your core of what you feel about you, your existence gets focus towards the Source.
[00:10:28] One of the biggest strength I had is ... that bliss, bliss-based decision to coexist happily. Because of that non-violence has become the very breathing. Maximum I will say, “Let them not harass me,” that’s all is the highest level of expression of enmity is only that much from me. “Let there not be any problem from them,” that’s all. I have felt some people should not be near me, they should not harass me, but never felt or curse somebody should be destroyed. I always felt, if some destruction need to be done, let Kālabhairava decide. He is alive! It’s not that ... He is non-existence. He is existing. He exists. From the age of five-six, I have seen these eleven Rudras always walking around me, protecting me. Not as a imagination. ahimta... Let me become many to celebrate me - ekoham bahuśyām mahā. You will see all around you, you continuously like a magnet attract ... joy, bliss, ... non-violence, ... more and more and more higher cognitions. I tell you, ... even if violence and negativities is thrown at you, it’ll not affect you. You will live as Paramaśiva or Mahādeva. Nothing will touch you. You will continue to reside in the space of Paramaśiva.
[00:13:23] The core cognitions of you, core values of you, core perceptions of you, what gives you respect on you about you. Technical glitch. What gives respect for you on you? Those core values, core perception, core truths, core concept, core cognition, if those core cognitions can be turned towards the Source, powerful cognition ... See, when Paramaśiva reflects on you: in the brain, He reflects as jñānapada - powerful cognitions. In the body, He reflects as yogapada - the yogic alignment towards the Source. In the lifestyle, He expresses, manifest as caryāpada - the powerful lifestyle. In your emotion, He expresses as kriyāpada - feeling connection with the Source. The powerful cognitions are jñānapada, powerful feelings are kriyāpada, powerful body is yogapada, powerful lifestyle is caryāpada. Paramaśiva expresses as these four in your life for you to focus on Him. When you focus on Him these four expresses. When you express these four, you focus on Him. Manifesting these four is caryāpada, kriyāpada, jñānapada, yogapada. Manifesting these four is Oneness.
[00:16:35 Somebody asked me, a Gurukul kid, “Swamiji, I feel what is the difference between being, what is the difference between being in this Gurukul and outside school? I wanted to know.” I told, “First difference, simple difference - food. The organic healthy food you get, I challenge you will not get it anywhere; even if you are paying million dollar per year and studying, you will not be able to get this food as per Paramaśiva’s instruction. Food at this age where you are building your muscles and body, thought currents which is building block for your very being at this age, you will never get anywhere else other than my Gurukul.” My Gurukul is not my business. It is my being! It is literally I open my very personality. What I had from Arunagiri Yogishwara, I am trying to give it to the next generation. That is my Gurukul. My integrity to Arunagiri Yogishwara is my Gurukul. My gratitude to Arunagiri Yogishwara is my Gurukul.
[00:18:18] Yes, outside you will get great pizza! I don’t need to translate it. Pizza! Yes, you may get various food. You don’t understand along with that food, you get all the diseases, side effects, after effects which is suppose to come to you, so that you can continue to buy medicines and be caught in that grid - the unholy nexus of food industry and pharmaceutical industry. You will be just a prey. Don’t think when you eat non-organic food, you are eating - you are eaten! The great lifestyle of Paramaśiva, you will never get other than inside my Aadheenams and Gurukuls, understand! It’s not pride. As of now on the planet earth if I scan with Vedagamic consciousness, whether it is caryāpada means lifestyle level, or kriyāpada - feeling connection rituals, and yogapada - aligning your body to the Paramaśiva, or jñānapada - powerful cognitions to the Paramaśiva, I can very comfortably say with all my integrity, my Gurukul and Aadheenams are the best place. Yes! I am going to make it bestest, bestest-test, bestest! But as of now, this is the best.
[00:20:34] Try with all your money, with all your infrastructure, with all your facilities outside, try to get regular meal of my Gurukul standard - pure organic vegetarian real food. Most of the richest cities in the world are food deserts, means there is nothing to eat. Food-like products are available, not food is available. Same way, every day the kind of cognitions, ideas gets strengthened in you, is very important because that is the building block of you! It’s like brick with which building is build. Each cognition getting strengthened in you is a brick, is a block with which the building is getting build. Gurukul and Aadheenam is the best place where you are at least reminded every day about the higher cognitions.
[00:22:13] Somebody was told that Kailāsh is fully golden, and this guy goes and he sees really everything is golden. One corner doesn’t look like golden. He says, “Ooh, that corner is not golden. If that is not golden, if everything is not golden, what is the use of being in Kailāsh, outside is also same. Let me go back.” Go! Logic logically cheats you. You feel zero percent golden is much better than ninety nine percent golden; actually even Kailāsh is complete, I know Kailāsh is hundred percent golden. Your perception it looks ninety nine percent golden and one percent is not golden. So you feel, “No, no, no, no, no... then better to be outside.” Okay. I am telling you, ... whether you know it or not, the way you are built in Kailāsh every day with the caryāpada, kriyāpada, yogapada, jñānapada, and the whole atmosphere, vātāvaraṇa created is unimaginable. Unimaginable. Anything is worth sacrificing to be in Gurukul, to be in our Aadheenam.
[00:23:54] In every level, again and again and again one big group is working towards completion to achieve the state, space and powers of Paramaśiva. A big gang is working towards the state, space and powers of Paramaśiva. Understand. Continuously ... raise yourself to be one with Paramaśiva. Continuously work on manifesting Paramaśiva. Continuously align yourself to Paramaśiva. Every meal in the Kailāsa is blessed. Only if you are blessed you will be able to have it. It’s not joke to partake in the offered food. It is not joke ... to live in the boundaries of Kailāsa. It’s not joke. I tell you, ... nothing can equate to living the lifestyle of Paramaśiva, yoga of Paramaśiva, powerful cognitions of Paramaśiva, worshipping, revering Paramaśiva.
[00:26:48] I wanted all of you to contemplate on this great truth: how to align your life more and more into lifestyle of powerfulness, ... actions style of powerfulness, thinking style of powerfulness, cognitions of powerfulness. Lifestyle of powerfulness is caryāpada. Creative style of powerfulness is kriyāpada. Body of powerfulness is yogapada. Powerful cognitions is jñānapada. Contemplate on this truth. I’ll lead you to the deeper space of Oneness. I’ll lead you into the Oneness of Paramaśiva, into the space of Oneness of Paramaśiva. Sit straight. Close your eyes. Chant the Mahāvākya intensely inside your inner space.
