99. is to be renovated.-- Lao Tzu.

The statement of Lao Tzu may appear contradictory. But what he says is a formula to straighten up what is contradictory. If you wish to change as a new person, a compulsion will arise to destroy many things which roam about within you. If you leave it without destroying today, tomorrow it would destroy you. Warning:

Destroy what is destroying.

The one that is destroying is Maya, illusion! Let the illusion vanish

280.Page 416. Our life, which is from birth to death

is only a prolonged dream! It is possible to wake up even from this dream. But, it is impossible to wake a person up. Get up from sleep. Let the sleep go away. Let the suffering also go away.

281.Page 417. Ninth mystic power.

Magic art of subjugations...

Anima, Mahima, Laghima, Garima, Prapti, Prakamya, Isitva, Vasitva – These are eight siddhis.

These eight siddhis or powers are varieties of energy play which come in the path of enlightenment.

All these will help to bring all things not under our control to come under our subjugation.

But... Strange!

These siddhis cannot subjugate the self.

Those who get caught in the siddhis are persons who get caught in the net spread out by the mind.

To bring one's own mind under subjugation is ninth siddhi. It is unique intellect.

282.Page 418. What is learnt is handful only!

Is that handful gold or clay? Life is just a water bubble! That one What is lived... Is it a life in hell? Or a life in heaven? Deliver the judgment only for this. Let the illusion come to light!

283.Page 419. Affection is a disguise of the mind.

284.Page 420. Whatever is seen by the eye is a lie.

Whatever is heard by the ear is lie. Knowing after a thorough enquiry is also lie. Getting clarity after deep conscious understanding is only the truth!

286.Page 422. You can awaken a person saying even seven times. "Wake up, "Wake up, Wake up." But it is that person who has to wake up!

• 288.Page 425. Devotion does not belong only to theists.

289.Page 426. To the dear atheist...

Devotion is the sum total of faith and respect which you have on your principle.

Devotion is important.

It is more important than the thing over which devotion is directed.

If the devotion comes over whatever thing or over whatever, it is good only.

That is a technique to create a sense of devotional feeling. If the devotional feeling comes at whichever place, at any time, over any thing, then and there meditation happens.

290.Page 427. Atheist meditation.

Do not stop just getting caught in words net of 'There is no god'. Meditate with devotion to such an extent that those words change into experience. You will become enslaved by the blissful energy which is responsible for your life existence.

'What is truth' will arise.

291.Page 428. Atheist wisdom.

Pass beyond that there is no god! To be 'inside'! As you pass and remain inside... Bliss will come! Freedom will flow! Only when this occurs, atheism becomes complete. The utterance that there is no god is only a pain which has come to the tongue. Let the utterance become Veda. Let the inner comfort become your own. Let the truths become your possession!

• 292.Page 429. As the atheists trek up to the peak of atheism, and the theists trek up to the peak of theism with all sincerity in their respective paths, the peak that comes only is spirituality. It is... Bliss of individuality.
• 293.Page 430. One who is full with devotion is full with energy.
• 294.Page 430. When you pray, you pray to god. When you meditate, you are god.

• 296.Page 432. The one that cooks the truth as per the prevailing circumstances is religion.
• 297.Page 433. If you go to the temple, without fail, sit calmly and meditate for at least twenty minutes. Body, mind and soul all together will become enthusiastic. Do not fail to do so.
• 298.Page 434. As soon as the news was heard that earthquake was going to come, under the tree... Those who were sitting at the feet of Zen master became very

active. While the people were running here and there, the master alone was sitting with the same joy and calmness. The disciple asked, "Oh master, the place where you are sitting may split up due to earthquake. .. So, to save yourself, run away to the open plain."

• "In case the place where I run and stand splits...? the master asked. Next second, the thought which came to the disciple made him sink into deep calmness. To him the inner path of bliss came to be known to him as it was at that second!

To become blissful, deep understanding itself is sufficient."

During meditation one has to continuously be with awareness. This is 'Rule of meditation.'

If this one alone is followed sincerely, enlightenment can be obtained.

• 303.Page 442. A ritual may become meditation. Meditation should not become ritual.

308.Page 445. Path for victory.

Do not add meditation to life. Add life to meditation**.**

If life becomes a life of meditation, for 'victory' to happen, to make it happen, all intelligences necessary will rise up.

314.Page 454. Birth is a shock!

Death is a shock! In both of these, man touches the state of 'coma'. If death occurs with full awareness, man becomes enlightened. If birth occurs with full awareness, mystic should take an avatar as man.

• 319.Page 460. The world is a meditation field. Are you ready to play?
• 320.Page 463. As soon as it is clearly known 'Don't know', whatever has so far remained unknown will begin to be known! Whatever was not understood so far will begin to be understood. This is subtle truth.

• Success is 99% failure. -- Honda entrepreneur.

• Failure is 99% success. -- Zen statement.

In the inner world, Failure after many successes. That is – Death of ego!

-- Hasid statement.

• Only after knowing 99%, one can come to a conclusion as to what he knows and what he does not know. When the 1% 'do not know' adds up, 'known' gets full maturity.

Is this success? Or failure? Think.

• 322.Page 465. The things known to you only block the unknown god and un-understood bliss.

-- Extremely subtle secret.

323.Page 466. Drive away the one who does not know.

While crossing a river in a boat, if another empty boat collides with this boat...

there is no possibility for the person who is traveling in the boat to get angry.

But, instead of an empty boat, if there is a person in that boat, he will shout, "Why can't you row the boat carefully?" He will be angry.

-- Suwangthasu.

If you become like the empty boat, you can also live in this world with freedom. Nobody would even try to pick up a quarrel with you. The reason for your not being able to be like an empty boat is the other person who lives in you. Drive away that person who involves you in troubles. You can live in this world in a variety of ways.

324.Page 467. Do you know?

Trouble, Even worries too... Invitation sent by you only!

325.Page 468. Know this.

The man who controls and rules people rudely is in confusion. The man who is controlled and ruled is in sufferings. The way to get released from confusion and suffering... Do not bring anybody under your control! Do not be controlled by anybody!

-- Suwanthasu.

Learn to move with those close to you in an independent manner.

Is your nearness not affecting the independent feeling of others? Does it give them joy? If they say 'Yes"..., You are an enlightened person.

There is no doubt at all.

326.Page 470. There is a rope hanging. Holding it... Do you want to climb up? Or hang yourself? Decide. Your life is waiting to redeem you From the pit of suffering.

327.Page 471. What is it that you do to yourself? Violence or non-violence? Do you know the answer?

328.Page 474. This is irrefutable truth.

Those who have achieved are poor in the inner world. Those who have not achieved are poor in the outer world.

• Richman outside. Beggar inside. Without entering inside, One who jumped outside!

-- Tao song.

329.Page 475. We are born, grown, achieved.

• Going beyond these...

• "Aha", I enjoyed nicely, lived without sufferings.

• "Oh, I achieved happiness itself"

• Live to say like this and show!

330.Page 476. Persistent efforts and hard work

do not determine achievement.

Only clarity in thinking decides achievement.

That is why, all those who toil, do not rise up. First of all... To obtain clarity in thinking, work hard.

331.Page 477. As the sufferings lessen, true achievement will sprout out.

332.Page 478. Achievement! What achievement?

Without buying fuel, simply buying and accumulating car, ship and airplane, what is the use? Without gathering life's fuel of experiential energy... simply adding up thousands of comforts for getting satisfaction duly utilizing the five senses... what is the use? Intelligent persons will first of all take action only to gather fuel.

At least, while gathering the comforts itself, can you not gather fuel also!

Think! Take action!

333.Page 479. Success opportunities continue to slip away. Even if allowed to slip, still it continues to come. One who catches outside becomes Bill Gates. One who catches inside becomes Buddha.

You only have to try to catch it. Will you try?

• 334.Page 481. Oh man! What are you doing? Leaving living aside...!
• 335.Page 482. Oh man!

You just roam about Forgetting for what work you have come... Do you understand this?

336.Page 485. Before achievement, spending time in dreams. After achieving, spending time in sufferings, What big difference is there between these two?

• 337.Page 486. Achievement is the beginning of defeat. Fame is the beginning of insult. -- Suwangthasu.

Oh Human crowd! Dear Human crowd! Stop being washed away along with the crowds. You climb up, to fall down. As you climb up, look around once... Getting up and sitting on the throne is not a big matter. After sitting, what will you do?

If you do not know how to dance on it, It will become like gambling all the life you have run so far!

Blissful dancer you are. First of all learn to dance.

338.Page 487. An easy method to shake off laziness is achieving. That is all.

339.Page 488. Uniqueness of sea pigeon...

It can sleep while afloat in water. It can also sleep in the air floating with its feathers and wings spread out. Even if it feels proud of its capability, sea pigeon is sea pigeon only. Even though man does Himalayan achievements, he is just man only.

There is no relationship at all between achievement and bliss.

• 340.Page 489. 'I will celebrate after achieving' is a wrong thinking. 'I celebrate. So I wish to achieve' is a right thinking.
• 341.Page 490. The penance called meditation is a Kalpaka tree (a wish tree) which has the ability to give the necessary energy and intellect to obtain whatever you wish, as you wished for.

342.Page 491. Even while dying, the mystic laughs. Even while living, man suffers.

--- Tao.

"While leaving the body in the earth... not even one paisa can be taken along".

-- Having known this truth, man has discovered a novel way. Instead of property, it can be converted to 'Punyams'! Donations and charity will surely add up to Punyams – For this

life only.

Even if one donates in crores, while leaving the body, they won't come along!

343.Page 492. From experience, I say firmly...

While leaving the life, the only one material that can be taken along with the man is humanness. That is maturity. Increase that one. When you take the next body, it will come and help. To live beautifully and blissfully.

344.Page 495. Not only the art of living,

Learning the art of dying is also necessary.

• 345.Page 496. Before you perish, come running! Before you perish get the remedy. Reason, even death is an auspicious happening only. 346.Page 500. Which one is duty? Which one is ignorance or folly? To kill one's own joy, for the sake of other's joy... Or otherwise, due to the abundance of one's own joy, make others also joyful... Find the answer.

347.Page 501. Only the ripe fruit will be plucked first.

Only the tree which has grown straight will be cut first. Only those flowers which have fully blossomed will be picked first Unripe fruit, bent tree and the flower which has not fully opened up would not be subjected to any trouble. -- For this reason that they cannot be considered lofty. The troubles that come to you are the evidences that the path in which you proceed is right only. Do not live just for duty. In order to get limitless freedom, start with joy!

• 348.Page 502. Is duty binding you? If 'yes'..., know it that it is not duty but it is ignorance.

• 349.Page 503. In order to do duty fully, the enthusiastic energy called mercy is necessary. 350.Page 504. When Mukundan said, "Just one sip of liquor makes me giddy" Nitti surprisingly asked, "Are you telling really?"

Mukundan said, "Yes, that giddiness always comes for the first sip of the seventh glass."

Like Mukundan, man's mind also has become numb. For the mind to drink a mouthful of joy, it requires a lot of joys. The reason for his getting only a little satisfaction even after he does his duty to a big measure is also the mind having become numb! Believing that small satisfaction as a big one he loses a lot, in order to multiply that!

Mind... should become a conscious one.

• 351.Page 507. Finally tell yourself "Possible"! The wonder will happen that what all is needed to complete it will gather around you. You will see. Certainly you will see.

  • Do not think of changing like another person. It is wasteful exertion. Accept every thing as it is and be blissful. Say your gratitude to yourself. Be grateful to what you possess – your senses, your body, your life, your mind, your breath. Meditation will happen.
• 354.Page 512. It is not getting angry saying, "God has not given me". the very asking god itself is wrong only. Have you expressed your 'gratitude' for what you have got so far...

355.Page 513. Practical current meditation.

Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

-- By using these words, you can satisfy others only. By practi cally implementing the sense of gratitude you can satisfy yourself.

• Each cell has separate intelligence.-- Cell biology.
• Man within world. World within man. -- Siddha statement.

If we examine deeply...

Each cell thinks alone and acts.

Eats separately. Lives separately

So, man is not a separate entity. He is a sum total of many crores of lives.

Instead of saying Anda is within Pinda called man, we have to say each cell of the man is an Anda (world).

So, God, who has created you, deserves to receive your gratitude!

357.Page 515. You are a rarity.

Just as you wake up, you live in this body in this world. As soon as you go to sleep, you live in the dream body in the dream world.

Even while you are awake, if you miss your awareness, you live in the imaginary body in the imaginary world. Think well... All these 3 bodies, All these 3 worlds, Are all these one only!!! Going beyond considering, think. Many questions will arise. That itself will lead you to meditation.

• 358.Page 518. Beauty! It is not a 'coating'. It is a 'blossoming'.

That man who was living, imagining himself as a 'personification of patience' got upset at the action of the master. The Zen Master laughed.

On later days, he understood a truth, that is:

'It is not speaking of mere statements calmly. Living at the state of calmness and patience as stated by the statements and truths is only great. It is not merely talking loudly, but expressing through his life only is important."

Mind is a very big fraudulent person.

It will begin to live keeping the principles of spirituality which are utilized for destruction of the mind itself.

It will teach to throw on others its own anger, pride and irritation under the guise of spirituality.

• 364.Page 526. As passing judgments stops, you will begin to learn to live!

Depending on the measure of bliss that you possess in your consciousness, your giving or destroying bliss to the other person will happen. Make the blissful feeling increase. Every thing will become all right.

Desire to become a beautiful man would not arise.

• Attachment, relationship, quarrel, jumping playfully. -- All these are mirrors which show your true form. In case, you are such a person, who does not know how to see or who does not want to see yourself in these mirrors... You cannot understand yourself about the description of your inner self. Therefore you cannot even prevent the deficiencies in your natural qualities changing as poison. One who refuses to share will have to share sudden shocks later on.
• 376.Page 542. Talking some thing or the other, lamenting over various things, laughing and jumping playfully, are not sharing.

God is not only one with limitless liberality, but He is also intelligent too!

One who has obtained meditative energy by meditating daily will bring that divine energy itself under his grip and control!

Even Rahu and Kethu can't do anything to that Sadhu. Meditate and see... It will be understood.

On the first day the ship was sailing in the sea, the captain of the ship said like this:

"Even if that God thinks, He cannot make this ship sink or overturn."

• 'Placing the blame' is a bad habit. -- Dr.O.A.Battisa.

• Habit itself is bad. -- Vedic truth.

• Habit is a strange thing. After trying, even after a certain bad habit is left off, in 'HABIT', if H is gone 'A BIT' will remain. This will again drive. If again tried, in 'A BIT", if A is gone, 'BIT' will remain. Still further trying, in 'BIT', if B is gone, 'IT' will remain.

Habit is a ghost, which will continuously drive, until the 'I' in it that is the ego is destroyed.

The blame is not on any one. Habit can be destroyed only by awareness. Hence increase the awareness!

392.Page 566. Life will not give trouble to good people. If it so gives... Or if a person feels so...

It means that he has not yet become a good person.

The strong tendency and eagerness for making any thing and every thing permanent, is only the anchor driven inside man, that mind drives, for it to live.

Unless this anchor is cut off, peace, bliss and health will all be only merely in paper!

394.Page 568. Man is a 'prey' born to be eaten by earth.

'Listen. You are already in meditation'.

-- Zen saying.

While talking, talk. While listening, listen. In a conversation...

Most people, most of the times, are going on preparing to talk next. Even their allowing other person to talk is because it is preparation time for their talking next! But the information that is spoken or listened to, are not important.

Listening is important!

It is a meditation which gives consolation to the other person and rest to your mind.

It is a wisdom which will make the mind, which is hurrying between past and future, sit calmly.

• 405.Page 587. Birth while inhaling, death while exhaling, continuously goes on. There is very little difference between this death and the death which happens when life leaves the body. Facing breath with awareness is equal to facing death.
• 406.Page 588. The life should not leave the body only just because the body and life have become exhausted.

In the same way as the person who gets gold medal in his graduation, leaves the university with a sense of gratitude...

The life should take leave of the body with the satisfaction of having lived. For this to happen, every one must get the gold medal in the art of living.

Are you ready?

• 407.Page 589. Do you know that death is a teacher? As we think, death is not the peak of suffering. Death is the peak of comfort. Peak of freedom. If death is approached with awareness, it will be deeply consciously understood that it is the peak of comfort and freedom.

• "The world is afraid of seeing death. But it gives me bliss." -- Guru Nanak.

• 411.Page 596. Bliss is great daring.

412.Page 597. The bliss path.

The path of bliss is beautiful. It is blissful. Reason: That path begins in bliss and ends in bliss itself.

• 413.Page 598. If the cloud searches for the sky. will it get the sky? It is an amalgamation of air in which it cannot be separated as to which is the sky and which is the cloud.

Thinking that man is different and bliss is different, and search for bliss, it will not be available.

Man, who is part of the bliss energy, can only discover it. To discover it, one should met and get dissolved in it.

414.Page 599**. For water to form, O2 permitted H; H permitted O2.**

For you to become god's form, the body...need not permit

the soul. It is enough if it is consciously felt itself.

Today it is known very well that "the body in which you live is very, very ordinary, and you too are very ordinary...!"

In a way, this is true but it is not final and ultimate.

It is possible for you also to change as all powerful, as one who can make all things to happen, as one who can make every thing function, if only the body...

permits the soul energy to live beyond the mind!

415.Page 600. When oxygen and hydrogen mixes up, water is born.

There is no connection at all between oxygen and hydrogen.

Neither oxygen, nor hydrogen can quench the thirst. Still it is only the water which is formed by mixing of both that quenches the thirst.

When the body and the Atman(soul) which is within that mix up, god is born.

Each cell of the body begins to live at the peak of bliss.

As long as the mind is there which makes you feel that the body and Atman are separate, it is not possible by both of them to quench your thirst of many, many births.

If they mix up and merge...

In this same body

In this same world,

You can be blissful by many million times than this!

• 416.Page 601. Sea of Eternal Bliss. The moment one touches the peak of the mountain, the first step of the downward slope of the mountain begins.

Going to the peak of knowledge, beauty, power, money, culture, praise etc. is only to slide down in the inner world. Ego will catch hold of only that person, who, without going to the peak, is in the middle.

Without roaming about saying, "My branch, my desire, my profession... In these I will go to the peak to the extent possible by me", if you do it and show**...**

the first step of the downward slope of inside will be visible. The pathway to the sea of bliss will be known.

417.Page 603. Even after evolving as a man, like an ant, you are going on running for some thing. What for that running, at least do you know that? Say, Man!

418.Page 604. Do not sing, "Believing whom you have born!" Search!

419.Page 607. To say without any shyness, "I am suffering", to feel that consciously, and to cross that, intelligence is necessary.

420.Page 608. The song of peace is laughter! Full laughter!

421.Page 609. Suffering – Darkness.

Awareness – Light.

You yourself knowing your suffering is equal to lighting a small lamp in the room of your consciousness.

A small light will drive away a big darkness.

Experience the suffering deeply. That also is meditation only.

You will come out of it totally.

Feel happy about thinking about suffering. From the second you have understood, "I am sorrowful" the sorrow will be begun to be driven out by awareness.

Feeling sad thinking about sufferings is equal to darkness joining the darkness.

Feeling happy thinking about sorrow is like light joining the darkness.

Which one is convenient! Select yourself.

• 422.Page 610. The one that creates celebration or suffer mental trouble is not the world; consciousness.
• 423.Page 611. Confusing the one that confuses is wisdom solution.
• 424.Page 612. The name given to man by Thirumoolar who lived 3000 years ago is...

'Walking temples'.

• 425.Page 613. Said in a discourse during a meditation programme:

"While being born itself Buddha was not born as Buddha. At one time Buddha was also struggling like you."

When it was possible for an ordinary Siddhartha to become Buddha, why is it not possible for you?

426.Page 615. Ananda.

'Nanda' means that which can reduce.

'Ananda' means that which does not reduce.

One does not give the feeling of saturation. One that is sweet. One that gives the satisfaction.

427.Page 616. After attaining 'experiential realization of wisdom' within me, passing off nine months of blissful silence, the first words expressed by God through me... "Be blissful".

1. Opposite to Page 96:

Who has said, spirituality is difficult? Oh! Yuga Bharathis of Ananda Yuga!

Listen....! Listen...!

As the enthusiastic hare slept, you have slept. This is not a crime. A small mistake only! It is enough if you are woken up Just only once. Again you will jump up and run joyfully.

If you just permit, meditative wisdom rubbings will awaken you.

2. Opposite to page 128:

Today you have become ripe and mature. Your finding out your own past mistakes is the symbol for this!

What to do? With the level of maturity you had at that time only that much could be done then.

Today you have ripened. Still why do you feel sad?

Intelligent persons will not repeat the same mistake done earlier, nor do they feel sad for what has been done. On the other hand they will mend themselves.

3. Opposite to Page 224.

Asceticism is not just renouncing what all you have.

It is discarding what you do not have.

That only is true asceticism.

4. Opposite to Page 256.

Whatever are the actions that you do.

Does it give joy to you and to those around you...?

If yes, leave the worry.

That is just only! Sacred law only!

5. Opposite to page 352.

It is easy to worship the master. Because, the ego will not be affected.

It is very difficult only to follow the teachings of the master. It is important.

Any true master accepts him only as a disciple who follows his teachings and implements them practically.

6. Opposite to page 384.

"I know how to live... I am blissful... What worry is there for me..."

In this manner if Buddha, Jesus and Vivekananda had thought, how much this world would have missed!

You have taken the body! You can utilize it for the world also!

'Taking up responsibility' will also make energy flow abundantly within you.

Take up the responsibility. Let the energy overflow.

7.Opposite to page 512.

Come on Let us play with God.

To see God, go to the temple. You can see and come.

Do meditation. God Himself will come running in search of you! If you meditate, You can bring God. The God you are searching, will come to the very place where you are...

The God you are searching. The God who is searching you. Whom do you want???

Be Blissful.
