Practicing The Upanishad
Practicing The Upanishad
As I told you, this program has nothing to do with any technique or no-technique. It is a clear process. After this program, you are not expected to practice anything at home. You will not carry back any technique from here and practice it. No! It is a process that we are doing now, and you will carry back only the experience. That will itself do its work. So, just carry the experience that will become part of you.
Before entering into the Upanishad - that is the process, let us learn the Upanishad. What do I mean by Upanishad? 'Just sitting' sitting', sitting' that's all. Upanishad means 'sit'. You may think, 'I 'sit' am sitting already!' No. You are not sitting. You are only trying to sit. You are not 'just sitting'. Now, you will 'just sit'. Please sit do not ask questions like, 'How long, why, what are we going to gain, and what not…' I am not going to answer even if you ask these questions. Just sit Just sit, that's all. Let us see what happens Just sit if we just sit. Many things might surface: maybe boredom, or the thought that you came all this way just to do this…' Whatever your mind may tell … just sit. Don't listen to your mind. It may tell you anything, but you just sit. No technique, no visualization, no mantra, no meditation, not even unclutching from the mind, no technique needs to be done…do not do anything. Just sit. You can tie your eye bands. sit
Remember only one thing: you are sitting in the presence of a master. Upanishad is happening. Just sit Just sit. Just sit

Om Nithyanandam….Relax. You can open your eyes.
You might wonder why I am giving you such an extensive preparation. In this Atma Spurana program, the preparation is very important. If you internalize the preparation, you are done with the purpose of the program! That is why I am stressing these points so much. These points are the real truth of this program.
