I. What Is Seeking ?
Seeking is the way the God in you wakes up.
What Is Seeking?
What is it we are seeking? From the time we take birth in a particular body, in a particular lifetime, and whether we realize it or not, or become aware of it or not, we are continually on the path of seeking.
As a baby, our seeking may seem simple and limited to ensuring our basic physical and emotional needs are met in order to survive, through food, sleep, and affection from our parents.
As we grow up to be children, our seeking may get more complicated as we cease to be satisfied with only having our basic needs met, and we start to crave the affection, attention, and approval of our family members and the people who form part of our ever widening circle of relationships.
And then, as we mature into youth and adulthood, there seems to be no end or limit to our seeking, as we begin to also desire name, fame, wealth, health, physical beauty, fulfilling careers, loving relationships, and a sense of acceptance and belonging in society.
And finally, as we move into old age, we may seek to avoid suffering, loneliness, sickness, and our inevitable and impending death.
Yet, throughout all this, we remain unsatisfied. Having gone through this cycle again and again, throughout many lifetimes, the question still remains as to what it is we are really seeking.
Based on our experiences and varying levels of maturity, not all of us will be pursuing the same type of physical or emotional pleasures, and not all of our seeking is necessarily about achieving certain worldly goals, or fulfilling our materialistic desires, just for the sake of doing so.
If we look a little deeper into the nature of our seeking, we may find that we are simply running towards the objects of our desire in order to distract ourselves from facing the daunting truth that this body is temporary, and the simple fact that we are born means that we are also going to die.
So to avoid having to deal with the seemingly harsh reality of our lives, we turn away from looking within ourselves, and instead, direct our attention outwards for security and comfort.
We crave and desire temporary pleasures that we do not realize will only bring us more suffering, and we do everything we possibly can to cling to the identity that we have so carefully built.
By doing so, we deny ourselves the opportunity to examine our own internal discontent and to discover the true source of everlasting joy and bliss. This can only come from delving deep into the truth behind the ephemeral and constantly changing nature of our existence, and an understanding that true happiness cannot be found, no matter how hard we try, in worldly pursuits.
This book about seeking is for everyone, because everyone is a seeker. Some of us may not yet know this, but we are all on the path of seeking and we have all taken birth for this reason.
The path of seeking is a continuous journey inwards and upwards. It may seem short and pleasant for some, and long and arduous for others, but we will all of us come to realize that we are all on the path that is right for us in this lifetime.
By reading this book and contemplating on the timeless messages of an enlightened master, you will receive essential guidance and teachings on the path of seeking.
This book is a meditation that will deepen your insight and exploration into the true nature of your self.
And most importantly, this book will be invaluable in ensuring that your seeking never ends and is always kept alive.
When Did Seeking Start?
When did human beings first start seeking? Seeking started in the Ganges civilization. When the seeking started, how did human beings respond, how did human beings react, how did they express when the seeking started expressing in them, and when did the experience of seeking start in them?
The first thing, you need to understand is that we worshipped nature also. We worshipped through the deities and through nature. That is why I am using a new word – NATURAL WORSHIPPERS.
We were naturally worshippers, not just nature worshippers. What is the difference?
Human beings, when they first started seeking, the first thing that they did was look up in the sky. They understood they have a possibility that is beyond their imagination. They understood they have to look up. They understood they need to reach high.
When the looked up, expecting to see the Divine, all they saw was the Sun and they knew the Sun may be symbol, but beyond him is the Truth.
Hindus are natural worshippers, not just nature worshippers. We worshipped nature not with the limited understanding which the other indigenous religions have about nature, the tribal religions have about nature.
That is why I insist, we are not just nature worshippers, we worshipped nature but not just the nature – the force which is veiled by the nature, which is beyond the nature.
Nature worshippers will say, 'Oh Sun, please give me your blessing.' Naturally worshippers will say, 'Oh the energy behind the sun, which is covered by your shining form, which we can all see, please reveal yourself. There is something behind you. We want to see that. Let that be revealed.'
True seeking is starting to look at what is it that is behind this Sun, which is making this Sun radiant. If one starts with the Sun or stops with the Sun, this is nature worshippers. But that is not the truth. Seeing the truth behind nature is seeking and naturally worshippers.
When you see darkness, and try to find out what is beyond darkness it is not that great. You know that it is possible and you will try to look beyond the darkness always, because you don't want to be stuck with it.
But when you see a powerful light and ask, 'Let me see the reality behind this light,' it means that your seeking is so strong, that it cannot be diverted, manipulated, misguided, diluted, even if it is something glaringly radiating, even if it is shining like a golden light.
Look for what is behind the glory. Do not get lost in the very glory itself, the shining, glaring effulgence. Do not get lost in any form, any name, any glory, and any powers, Look deep and go into the source, the origin.
The real danger in your life is when you get cozy with the powers and glories of your life or the life you appreciate. You should explore the energy behind this glory; whether it is in your life or the life you appreciate.
I know when with so much suffering, sadness and everything, when you find some peace, glory and joy, you always wanted to settle down in that very space. But settling down will make your seeking dull. It may take away your seeking.
If you miss me, because of some of your own ideas or defects, you missed me. But there are some people who miss me, seeing my powers and glories. If you are just celebrating only powers and glories, stuck with only powers and glories, you will lose me. Powers and glories are not enough.
See what is it that radiates powers and glories, then you will realize the ultimate truth inside you. You will catch the truth of Shivoham (I am Shiva), Living Advaita is the only result that shows you realized – who is me.
Sometimes even by celebrating my powers and glories, if you divert yourself from the original experience of Shivoham which you need to achieve, again you missed it.
Of course, if there is a feeling connection and devotion, that very devotion will raise you, remind you, and help you to reinvent. But that devotion of celebrating the glory and powers should not make you lose your attention from the true reality, from the truth.
On the path of Truth, even the glaring veils are veils. However, glaring it may be, a veil is a veil is a veil.
Seeking The Source Of The Whole
Seeking the source of you, seeking the source of the whole, and seeking what happens after death is the essence of life.
Contemplating on these thought currents, will help develop a strong nervous system that suddenly the fear about death will disappear. The mysteries of death will be revealed in front of you.
You will simply know the whole thing, and you will be ready and will be experientially liberated from the fear of death, and any powerlessness related to death. Your whole being will become powerful and see through death.
Each of the thought current is experiential. It is like a cooking. First add rice, then put a little salt, then put a little turmeric, then put a little tamarind juice.
In the same way your pure analysis step by step is adding each ingredient to the rice. So by the time you finish you are the best turmeric rice or tamarind rice. Even you will celebrate your existence.
Contemplation on these thought currents can guide you through all your powerlessness with that thought current. For example, if you have so much powerlessness about death: questions, unknown, mystery, pain, and unknown fear,
contemplating on death is enough!
If you just catch the thought current, you can just go through the whole powerlessness, win over the whole thing. It can just sail you through all the powerlessness and help you reach the shore of powerfulness, and liberate you once for all!
I never feel I am not capable when I start any project, anything! This Golden temple that I wanted to build in Bidadi, casually I said one day, 'Come on! Let's make a golden temple for Shiva.'
I read a book, where Rajaraja Chola made a whole Tanjore temple covered with gold, because of his Guru Gurumaha Sannidhanam of Tondai Aadheenam word.
There is a document in Tondai Mandal Aadheenam that Sannidhanam chose a girl who will be the Queen and whose son will be the successor. So, he did all the marriage and rituals, and he ordered Rajaraja, 'You make a temple and cover it with gold.'
So Rajaraja made the temple, and invited Sannidhanam to come and do all the rituals. Sannidhanam went and did everything that needed to be done, and then after that Sannidhanam gave a command, 'Please, cover it with gold.' Then Rajaraja Cholan accepted his command and did the same thing. Covered the whole temple with gold.
So when I read the story I felt, 'Oh God, what happened to that whole gold now? Now only the stone temple is there?'
But there is solid evidence that the whole temple was covered with gold, because when the gold sheets were drilled, the holes are there, completely throughout the temple, throughout the tower. Thick gold sheet, being drilled. Throughout the tower the marks are there.
So, we have enough evidence, once there was Golden temple for Mahadeva. Now it may not be there. I said, 'Alright. Let's make one Golden temple for Mahadeva with His grace.' I only started this project casually. I never feel something is not possible, when I started this project.
The thought currents which are generated in you, experientially liberate you! Sit with this context and understand and contemplate on the above thought currents.
Let the seeking happen in you.
Seeking: Come Back To The Basics
The source of seeking.
Your very bio-memory vibrates, your very bio -memory actively functions, only with some of the basic questions about life. What is pleasure, how can I have more? What is pain, how can I avoid that? What is life? Is this understandings going to help me? What is joy? All these basic truths and basic understandings, how can I experience them?
These basic questions about life only continues to make you function and act.
For these basic questions, if you have better and better answers and click with the better answers, this is called maturity. Naturally, the answer your friend gives when you were five years old will be different to what your mother gives when you are six years. What answers your father gives you when you are fourteen will also be different.
Finally when you reach your Guru, the answer He gives will be different. So clicking with better and better answers is maturity. Ultimately, clicking with your own answer and experience,
and the questions disappearing once for all is Enlightenment.
Seeking is nothing but coming back to the basics. Seeking is nothing but taking up a life without vacation!
Vacation is nothing but the questions you don't want to face pushing you to live the life you are not living. The questions you pushed under the carpet are jumping from below the carpet, and sometime it even bites the wrong place. That is what is the nagging you feel for the need of vacation.
If you are living in a space, the very idea of a vacation disappears, you have clearly ironed out your life. You don't need to stand anywhere waiting for something. Vacation, what is vacation? Just waiting to get out of a life you are living, go somewhere and expect you will get something.
If you think you have to go somewhere, and stand for some joy, something to happen to you, you are just pushing all your basic questions under the carpet. Catching and understanding life where boredom becomes meaningless and vacation becomes meaningless. Where life itself becomes vacation. You are doing continuously something which you are enjoying, cherishing, and feeling blessed constantly.
So come back to the basic questions, that is what I call seeking. Do not hide and escape with the answers with which you have not clicked.
The answers which has not become your bio-memory and cognitive shift. Don't try to use those answers to attack others or hide yourself or lie to yourself.
Any answer you give or receive should have become your bio-memory and clicked with you and become your cognition.
Come back to the basic questions. Make seeking and the matured answers as part of your cognition.
Seeking Eternal Life
One part of you feels so strongly that you are going to exist forever, and you don't need to worry about the questions of afterlife.
It is like whenever you see people dying or you hear the news of somebody's death, you always think for a few seconds, what will happen to me? And then somehow you end up in the conviction that you are going to exist forever, or the problem is not going to come immediately at least, or you just decide that you don't need to attend to this question at least now.
Something happens which makes you lose attention and focus from that spark. Come back to the basic questions. Whatever makes you powerless is the basic question you are not able to face. That is the seed of seeking. Deciding to face those questions is seeking.
Whatever makes you powerless: What will happen after death? Will I be all alone during my death? In the deathbed all the pain that I may have to go through, will I be able to handle it? Or if suddenly some poverty happens in my life, if I lose some things, what will happen?
So the questions which makes you powerless, if you decide not to face them. you push yourself
into more delusion again and again. If you decide to face them, that is Seeking.
Just because you pushed the questions under the carpet, they cannot disappear. Just because these questions have been asked many times by others or yourself or by yourself to you, don't think you know the answer.
Sometimes because we are familiar with problems we assume we know the solution to that problem. Being familiar with the problem does not mean you found the solution for the problem. Being familiar with a problem for quite a long time, because of the familiarity, assuming you know the solution for that problem, is delusion.
When you are alone, ask these questions towards you. If death comes, tonight, am I prepared to face it? What is Life? What is it, that gives me such a strong confidence that I am not going to die, that I am going to eternally exist.
I am not saying that your belief that you are going to eternally exist is a lie. There is a component in you, which is externally going to exist. Unfortunately, you do not associate yourself with that component permanently.
That is all I am trying to remind you. I am not asking you to get depressed thinking about death. I am not interested in taking away your confidence with
which you carry, that you are going to exist forever.
Yes, you are going to exist eternally, but please decide to associate yourself with THAT permanently. It is like by smelling fish, you imagine you ate fish. Just by having the confidence, which is the smell of the Eternal Consciousness, you start deluding yourself – you experienced the Eternal Consciousness. That is what I am telling you, smell is not eating.
There is part of you which never dies, which is eternally alive: your consciousness and your bio-energy. And there is part of you, which dies. Unfortunately, you associate yourself with that which dies, but you draw confidence from that which does not die.
It is like just by smelling the food, you feel you ate it and you are fulfilled. Smell can never fill your stomach. Only if you eat can it fill your stomach.
In the same way, just the confidence of bio-energy that you are never going to die, will not make you enlightened. A small hairline crack is enough to take away your confidence that you are eternal, that you are not going to die.
You are eternal, you are not going to die, that confidence is only the smell of your bio-energy not the experience of your bio-energy. Make it as an experience, decide to make it as an experience, is what I call Seeking.
Seeking: A Conscious Acid Wash
A person who works with himself, who constantly matures his aspirations is a seeker. If two persons decide to work together, mature each other's aspirations, it is called married life.
Go on working with people and maturing the aspirations of the people. If you start maturing your aspirations, the aspirations of people who are around you, you will be able to help them to get their aspirations matured.
The job of a spiritual teacher or religious teacher is helping people to mature their aspirations. Maturing the aspirations can happen only by a acid-wash.
I tell you, never miss satsang (spiritual talks), because that is the only thing which will constantly keep you moving! If you miss satsang even for one month, you will completely lost track, and you will be going in some other thinking direction in your life.
Never miss satsangh even for one day, because that will constantly keep you aligned. You will catch wherever you are stuck only with satsang. You will catch yourself, you will expose yourself to yourself, only with the satsang.
About The Technique
Where am I heading? My actions? My thinking? Is it all aligning to the reality of life? What am I going to do after death? Am I going to exist after death, after this body stops functioning? From where I came?
These basic questions should be kept alive till the experience happens, till it becomes realization in you.
Duration
As much time as needed.
Instructions
Sit and contemplate about: 'What is really going to happen after my death? Where am I going to go? Where am I going to head?'
Sometimes you may have received the answer Me, 'Don't worry, even after death you are going to be with Me in Aksharadhām, in Kailasa. You are going to be with me. I am going to be with you.'
The answers you received from me, may be vibrating in your heart as truth, you will be so connected to that answer, you will be so happy with that answer, then you don't need to hold on to that question, you can start living that answer.
At one time, the devotion for the Guru will take over and this answer will start vibrating in you. But till the devotion takes over and the answer reverberates in your being, you can't drop the question.
If you drop the questions before the answer reverberates, you will enter into boredom.
When you get up early morning, don't jump out bed; just sit and look around in a relaxed way, 'Where was I? Where I am now? Where I am going to enter? What is happening?'
Ask as if the first day you are waking up. Because every day you wake up in a different space!
Spend a few minutes for these basic questions: 'Where was I? Where am I now? Where I am going to head the moment I get out of this bed?'
In the same way, before falling asleep, spend a little time sitting or lying on your bed, just try to align all the things which are driving you, are they aligned to your reality? And then fall asleep.
Do this until you find the answers to your questions.
Ii. Deeper Truths Of Seeking
What you are really seeking is something, but we are seeking it in the name of something else! We seek in the name of so many things. And at the end of it, even after achieving all those things, we feel that something is missing.
Seeking Makes You Joyful
Seeking means informing you that what you are searching for is available, Nothing is more ecstatic, joyful, intoxicating than seeking.
Seeking is the most intoxicating thing that can happen to a human being. Make this as a lifestyle.
The only thing that can infuse life into you is seeking. No depression medication, no psychiatric industry, no psychiatric drugs, nothing is going to help humanity, only seeking. That is going to make your life really, really beautiful!
Only Seeking can add life to you. Whether you face householder middle-age crisis or Sannyas middle-age crisis, the only solution is seeking. If you are not married, the first instruction I will give is, 'don't get married, take sannyas.'
If you decide to get married, at least marry somebody who is a seeker. So when you upgrade yourself and open your eyes, and see the person who is sitting next to you, you will have confidence, 'I can make him understand. Either he will fly with me, he will come with me or he will support me to upgrade myself.' Living with a person who is not a seeker is worse than hell.
Seeking can change your very brain map. It can change the very way your brain functions, the very way your brain cognizes. Seeking changes the very way you cognize things.
Experiential Versus Exponential Logic
Keeping the possibility alive is what I call 'being a seeker.'
I am defining who is seeker. Whoever moves in his life with the cognition of experiential logic, and keeps the possibility open and alive in his beliefs about himself and life, is a seeker. Keep your possibility alive. Only then you are a seeker. I am neither a guru who makes you seek for years and years nor the guru who promises everything quicker.
Life simply flowers when you keep the possibility alive. Move with experiential logic, not exponential logic.
The logic of experience is called 'Experiential Logic.' The logic of calculation, multiplying, subtracting, adding, and deleting is called 'Exponential Logic.'
By understanding these two logics you will understand how you are missing some of the greatest experiences of life by getting caught in a blind logic. It is like, instead of wearing sun glasses, you are wearing no glass, just two black stones fixed in a frame!
If you get two black stones fixed in a frame and wear it and think it is sun glasses, and say that whole world has become dark, who is responsible? So, if you are using exponential logic for experiential matters and go on claiming, 'experience is not happening!', who is responsible?
Sometimes, you stick to exponential logic and miss Shiva standing and pointing experiential logic to you. Shiva, again and again, comes to you as Guru and points out experiential logic, and you go on hold on to exponential logic and argue with him!
Because your logic has helped you in many places in your life, don't think it can be a help forever.
Because a boat helped you to cross the river which is really dangerous,
do not think the boat can help you ever for travelling in your life.
In your life, so many times, you are playing with exponential logic, instead of looking at experiential logic. One of the unfortunate thing is that whenever you have pain and suffering, you will always feel your whole life is going to be like that. Because, with pain and suffering, the exponential logic works more. It gets more strengthened. With joy, experiential logic gets more strengthened.
I want you to look in and do an acid wash of your belief systems, whatever belief system you carry about you. For example, at four o'clock in the morning you will be tired, sleepy, and not feel like waking up and doing yoga. If it was your experience for one day,
you will make that into exponential and start believing it forever!
'Morning four o'clock I cannot do anything. By morning four o'clock I will be tired and no yoga.' In the same way for Satsangh, 'I don't understand much, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM speaks in English and that also in some level of English.' One day if you make that as experience, you do not just hold on, 'today I don't understand, may be in next few days I may understand.' You don't keep that opening left for life to happen. You burn the whole land with exponential logic. So the possibility never grows.
A burnt land, unless it is ploughed again, no seed will grow. 'Burnt land' means, literally the land has become like brick. On brick no seed can grow, unless it is ploughed again, and it becomes loose, or it rains.
When you burn your future with your exponential logic, the possibility seed never grows, the enlightenment fruit never happens. Yes, no doubt, till yesterday you did not experience Shiva.
Yes, no doubt, till today, when Shiva gave the initiation, it went in one ear and came out through the other. But, you don't have to make that experience into exponential logic saying, 'oh, forever it is going to be like this only. So nothing can be done.' Just giving up.
Measuring your life with exponential logic is what I call 'illusion.'
Because, I did not experience Shiva yesterday, tomorrow also I may not, is 'illusion'. Yesterday does not make tomorrow. Whoever believes yesterday makes tomorrow is not living. Whoever makes today, whoever understands today makes tomorrow, only they are alive.
Let experiential logic be alive in you more and more for your cognition and running your life, not exponential logic.
With experiential logic, you will always remember the possibility. You give the space for more and more possibility. Till yesterday it did not grow does not mean tomorrow it will not grow. Realizing Shiva can happen even today, even tomorrow, even in the next moment.
Utter Confusion Leads To Seeking
Your every suffering and every ignorance is because of your decision which you made due to some other vested interests. Why do you not want the transformation? Because, transformation means literally the earth on which you are standing for the last forty to fifty years will shake.
Many things with which you consoled yourself as your success, you cannot bear the truth that you are not successful. So you have to constantly make yourself believe you are a success.
To make yourself believe you are success internally, you go on planning, looking, altering, and continuously convince yourself to believe the ideas with which you built your life is right.
'See, so many people my age and my colleagues don't have all this, this, and this. I have all this, this, and this. So I am successful.' But one corner of your mind laughs at you. 'no, no!' But the other side, 'no, no, no, I am a success!'
'Which side can I support? One part of me claims and consoles me I am success. The other part of me claims and condemns me as a failure. Which part should I support?' If you are in utter confusion, be very clear, the seeking has started in you! If you have not yet faced the confusion, the possibility for transformation has not yet opened.
The first thing any person has to face in life for enlightenment is utter confusion: 'am I successful or am I a failure?' As long as you are convinced you see what exists, you will not have this confusion. And we are afraid of entering into the confusion. We do not want to rock the boat.
'No, it is all going well! Why unnecessarily create a problem?' You do not want to come to terms with the reality. You do not want to take any argument which is rising in you to the logical conclusion.
How many of you cognize, how many of you postpone taking any logical arguments in you due to this logical conclusion? When the arguments rise, you postpone it, you push it aside. You don't want to take it to a logical conclusion. You suppress it. You push it under the carpet. How many of you do this in your life?
It is life! Look in. Anything you push under the carpet without taking it to the logical conclusion becomes a mechanism which restrains your possibility.
The pattern of not reaching to the logical conclusion is what I call 'life imprisonment!' Constantly pushing things under the carpet! You don't understand, under your carpet is a big volcano in there! You are sitting on a volcano! How will you be able to rest? How will you be in restful awareness?
That is why you are not able to sit with you. Religion has to start from the space of restful awareness. Conflict resolution is the ability to take our logical thinking to the logical conclusion.
We have to start with restful awareness. We have to start with carrying the right space.
Seeking Is The Hindu Grand Narrative
Seeking reorganizes and rejuvenates your inner image. It beautifully evolves a very powerful inner image, a very powerful outer image, and a very powerful life image. Living with the people in whom seeking is awakened is Kailayai, Kailasa (abode of Lord Shiva).
Seeking is the Hindu grand narrative. Before expanding on this new word, which I uttered, 'the Hindu grand narrative,' I wanted to acknowledge and thank Sri Rajiv Malhotra, it is from his article that I picked up this word 'the Hindu grand narrative' and the concept of Hindu grand narrative.
The grand narrative means that every civilization has a collective identity. Sometimes artificially created with integrity, and sometimes artificially created without integrity.
The grand narrative is the collective inner image each civilization creates. Each civilization adopts their own grand narrative. Sometimes the grand narrative evolves spontaneously and sometimes the grand narrative evolves in an organized way.
Spontaneously evolved grand narrative is Shirdi Sai baba's grand narrative. With any organized effort,
just spontaneously the grand narrative started, and it has spread all over the world as Shirdi Sai movement.
Organized way grand narrative is Bhagavan Swaminarayana's movement. Hindiuism has multiple grand narratives. All major countries have their grand narrative, all major civilizations have their grand narrative based on their need and time.
So this grand narrative is one of the most important thing to guide the existing civilization or to bring any revolution in the civilization or to guide the flow of the civilization, or even to revive any civilization. For anything, you need a clear-cut grand narrative so that your inner image can be beautifully aligned.
My grand narrative was Arunagiri Yogiswara and Annamalai Swamigal (my Gurus). All the time I will remember only these two. Any practical actions, I will remember Annamalai Swamigal. Any mystical things, I will remember Arunagiri Yogishwara.
If I have to move mountains or do something great, then immediately I fall into the space of Arunaguri Yogishwara. For any ordinary action I will think about, 'at this moment, how Annamalai Swamigal will respond?' That is the way I grew up, until the age of twelve. My Grand Narrative was Arunaguri Yogishwara and Annamalai Swamigal. Every situation I will think, 'how will he behave? How will he respond? How will he react?' So they became my grand narrative inside.
You need a grand narrative only then can you align your inner image to it. Your need for Guru is nothing, but your need for a grand narrative. Whoever accepts Me as their Guru, for all of you I have become the grand narrative. This is the way the grand narratives get built.
We had thousands of grand narratives in each locality. For example, for Maharastra, Bharat Sant Gnaneshwara was the Grand Narrative. For Karnataka, Bharat Bhagavan Bassavanna, was the grand narrative.
If I look at what is the grand narrative of Hinduism, it cannot just be a concept, it has to be a person, very physical, down to earth, which people can perceive in their level and play with their visualization, and use it to align themselves.
If a concept can be a grand narrative of Hinduism, then seeking is the grand narrative of Hinduism.
Seeking is the grand narrative that can be cherished, enjoyed, and visualized, with which you can play with your visualization, which can inspire you to align your inner image, which can remind you again and again the highest purpose of your Existence. Seeking which can raise you to the space of seeking, again and again.
Hindus have denied the need for a grand narrative for at least last two hundred years. We have not realized we need a grand narrative. That is the collective identity for all of us.
We are trying to push this problem under the carpet, saying, 'no, no, no, if you create the grand narrative of Krishna, all the Shaivaites (Shiva devotees) will be dropped out. If you create the grand narrative of Shiva, all the Vaishnavaites (Vishnu devotees) will be dropped out. If you create the grand narrative of Devi, all the other traditions will be dropped out.'
Hindus are intelligent enough to move from one Ishta Devata (chosen deity) to another Ishta Devata. If you have not had at least six to seven Ishta Devatas, you are never a seeker. If you are a seeker, you would have had at least six to seven Ishta Devatas. Because, every time you evolve, you will connect with the next level of definition.
If you receive Shiva as the embodiment of Enlightenment, at the age of seven you may not have felt connected with Him. At the age of seven, you need a Ganesha who nicely eats and roams around and jumps.
Then at the age of fourteen, the grand narrative of Subramanya would have been more appealing for you: youth, beauty, valor, and visor than Ganesha.
Then after you have had two to three girlfriends, then you need Shiva – the grand narrative of Enlightenment. You will simply feel connected.
So at different times when you evolve, you will feel connected to the different grand narratives.
If we can make people enlightened without the Hindu grand narratives, then with the Hindu Grand Narrative, we will be able to make easily people enlightened.
That is the away to take away people's depression, to take away the people's fatigue, and to take away the people's boredom.
Human beings live in the intoxication of grand narrative, and intoxication of the grand narrative is required to go through forced depression by the narratives given to you by society. As a mother you should be this, this, and this. As a father you should be this, this, and this. As a brother you should be this, this, and this.
This all forced on you and your bio-memory is made to believe it. When you face some difficulty and problems, b ecause of these social narratives about you, the intoxication of grand narrative takes away the depression. Grand narrative is the antidote for all the s ufferings you created based on your social narratives. It is such powerful inspiration to remove your mental fatigue, tiredness and boredom.
The grand narrative is required to keep the seeking up and alive and active, and make you enlightened.
Prayer: An Important Part Of Seeking
Prayer is an important component of our life especially if you are a seeker. Just like breathing, prayer becomes a very important part of you. Prayer just becomes you! I am not saying to you, for you. This means that one part of you should become a prayer.
Prayer is very important component, very important part of your life,
especially if you are seeker. But you always need to know the right context and understanding you need to hold during prayer.
When you pray to a deity or Guru have this context: I am praying to the source where you and me are one and the same.
I do not know whether that source is here or there, because in the beginning when you are too much inside, the source will be outside. Slowly, slowly when you start becoming lighter and lighter, the source will move inside.
In the beginning when you are too much occupied inside, the source where you and the Guru or God meet will be outside. Because you are too much inside, how can the source be here? But, slowly, slowly when you become lighter and lighter, more and more have completion, the source moves inside.
So pray, 'Oh the source, where you and me are one and the same, I pray to you, you make this into reality.' Whatever you want to say, say it.
In this way, you will never feel cheated. If you have too much incompletion inside you, naturally the source will be on the Guru's being. If there is less incompletion, more completion in you, the source will start moving towards you. When you become completely complete, the source will be centered on you.
So you don't even have to worry where the source is. Just say, 'Oh the source, where 'me and you' are one and the same, make this prayer into reality.' Ask for whatever you want to make it into reality.
You can also put a footnote, 'if something I am asking is not right for me, then give me the intelligence to develop myself' or you can also say, 'even if you think it is not right, I want only this..' You have a right. All I am asking you is: have the right understanding so that the prayer becomes a beautiful process for you to experience Oneness, Advaita.
Whether we understand or not, catch it or not, the reality is SO'HAM ASMI. Whether you got it or not the reality is SOH'AM ASMI, I Am He.
In this way, your every moment of prayer will be a process for you to achieve Oneness, Living Enlightenment. Go on praying, even if you have not got what you wanted, you will get what HE wanted. Prayers should be put in the right context.
Your life should be a long prayer from the context of SO'HAM ASMI. From the wrong context, prayer will always be painful. With the right context, prayer can be an amazing process for Oneness. Prayer can be amazing spiritual process f or you to experience Oneness.
Never ever a prayer uttered from the right context goes to waste or unheard. Never think, never doubt, it goes waste or unheard. You can shake the sun and you can move the moon, with prayers, you are not just a developed version of a monkey.
Prayer from the right context will directly lead you to Enlightenment without any of the feeling of being cheated. If you have wrong context about prayer, then only will you feel cheated. 'Oh I prayed for ten years for this, He did not give it to me.' When you pray from the right context, He may not give what you asked for, He would have given Himself to you.
Remember the right context of prayer and pray. He will give Himself to you. The words uttered during prayer
gets bolted in your muscle-memory, the context you hold gets bolted in your bio-memory. Whatever gets bolted in your bio-memory becomes Reality.
Seek Experience, Not Expertise
When you enter into the search of spiritual knowledge, seeking, you will have such liberating truths about freedom.
All powerfulness! All these great truths will be told, but be very clear, unless they become experience, don't try to mess up with the concepts of freedom.
Without becoming Paramahamsa, try to live like a Paramahamsa, really without getting to the space of non-attachment, trying to live as if unattached. This is a dangerous game people will play. But of course, nobody else needs to punish them, they themselves will be punishing themselves.
Incomplete knowledge makes you arrogant, and makes you lose your seeking, makes you egoistic, and growth gets stopped by the incomplete knowledge.
Many people are trying to grab the powers of Enlightenment without taking the responsibility of Enlightenment, and without having the experience of Enlightenment.
Understand, Enlightenment is not expertise, it is experience. People start thinking, if they learn how I behave, how I live, and expertise my behavior, they can become enlightened or they can show themselves as enlightened.
Enlightenment comes as experience, not from expertise. It is from experience.
The definition of an Enlightened Being is that His level of seeking will be totally different from your level. He will continue to be seeking, because seeking is the only way He will be alive. That's the only way He even makes you understand He is alive, that's the only qualification of His existence.
See, you can prove you are alive by so many things: eating a sweet, having physical pleasures, through all of that you can prove that you are alive to yourself and to others.
But an Enlightened Being is alive only in his seeking, that is the only way He reminds himself He is alive, and He proves He is alive to others. To that level, His very core will be seeking. His very core will be seeking!
Part 2: The Book of Seeking
Drop Your Irrational, Rational Logic
There are two logics. Understand, this hall has two doors. This is the first statement. The second statement is, one door is open. The third statement automatically you will assume that the other door is closed.
This is human logic which has a flaw. Unless you check you can't say that the other door is open. But 99% of the time, you will assume it is. The fact that the other door may be opened or maybe closed can only be confirmed after checking.
But your logic is such, that the moment you hear the first statement: this hall has two doors, and the second statement: one door is open, the third statement you will assume: the other door is closed. It is irrational rational logic. What you call as rational, but irrational.
This is the same logic with which you operate your body. If your eyes can see out, you automatically come to the conclusion that they can't see in. Yours eyes have the capacity to roll 360 degrees. You can see anything inside your body and outside, in any way.
When you believe you can see any distance in the sky outside, you automatically shut down the possibility you can see in. The irrational rational logic. If one door is open,
automatically you come to the conclusion the other door is closed. You don't even go there and see and then decide.
The logic you believe in your normal life that is the same logic with which you handle your body, and your body's capability and abilities are developed. If you believe, you can see up and in from the beginning, your body will develop these capabilities.
If you believe you can only see up and not in, you will only have that power, the other power will be forgotten. Understand, your beliefs about life will naturally impact, in a very strong way, your beliefs about your body. Your beliefs about your body will impact the abilities and capabilities your body can experience and express.
If you believe you can only see out, you will be praying, 'Oh God, where are you? Show me.' Only if you understand, you can see out and in, you will declare, 'Yes, Oh Lord, where are you? Reveal who is in me.'
A man who decides if the first door is open, the second door will be closed, is an atheist. A man who thinks, let's check and then tell, whether the second door is open or closed, is a Seeker.
A man who has realized not only the second door is open, even the first door will open the moment I touch it, is Enlightened. The man who can see whether the door is closed or open, is an Incarnation.
Understand, what you call as rational logic is not reality. That is why I insist, again and again, anything which limits your belief about life is out of incompletion.
Simply if your beliefs about life and you can be recognized, you can walk out of tons of problems, and you will start expressing extraordinary powers and capabilities.
The solutions lies in the re-cognitions, not in anything else. Solution is re-organizing your beliefs, and re-strategizing your understandings. Re-strategizing your life based on new understandings and reinventing yourself.
Devotion And Renunciation: The Path Of A Seeker
When you are tired of dreaming or you can't handle dreaming anymore, you decide to wake up. If there is a nightmare, if there is a fantasy dream, where the dream becomes too sweet or too harsh to handle, then you will wake up.
In the same way, in the waking state, if you make it too sweet or too harsh, you will become awakened.
Making it too harsh and becoming awakened, is the lifestyle of a renunciation. Making it too sweet and waking up, is the lifestyle of devotion.
In the dream state, if you see two tigers chasing you or two snakes chasing you, it is too harsh to handle, you will wake up. In the same way, if it is too fantastic, exactly the same place where you always want it to be is there, the same person with whom you want to be is there, you will suddenly wake up.
If it is too sweet, you will wake up. If it too harsh, you will wake up. So the dream state is sustained in the struggle, not in the extreme. Only in the struggle, the dream continues, not in the extreme.
In the same way, in the waking state, if it is extreme sweetness, you will wake up
or extreme harshness, you will wake up.
But as long as there is a struggle between these two, the struggle between the extreme sweetness and harshness, between greed and fear, you will continue to maintain this waking state. If any one takes over, it is all over.
Allowing the lifestyle of extreme harshness and getting awakened, is the lifestyle of a renunciation, a Naga, Aghori. Allowing the extreme sweetness and awakening, is the lifestyle of devotion, a Shavaite. Using both of the process and getting awakened, is the lifestyle of a THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAMite.
I use all available, possible methods, process, kriyas to help you into awakening, whether it is a nightmare or a fantasy dream, you will wake up.
Neither fantasy dream nor nightmare will allow you to continue to sleep.
In the same way, neither extreme harshness nor the extreme sweetness will help you to continue your waking state. It will lead to awakening.
If life itself brings the harshness and awakens you, if life itself brings that sweetness and awakens you, you will be wasting a lot of time. You voluntarily getting into that state, cooperating for your awakening, is what I call Seeking.
It is not that every night you wake up with the nightmare or fantasy dream. Many nights you wake up because you are too tired.
In the same way in your life also, it is not that all the time you can get the extreme harsh dream, harsh reality or extreme pleasant reality. Creating either extreme harshness of reality or extreme pleasantness of reality, leads to your awakening. Cooperating with the life to create the extreme harshness or extreme pleasantness, is Seeking.
Either with the concept of Shiva, you can make every moment of your life extremely pleasant. You know this is the place Sadashiva walked, this is the very air He breathed, this is the very forest He and Devi spent so much of time. Every tree here is the descendent of the trees, which had the fortune of having darshan of Sadashiva. Still the moon and the sun is a living witnesses. You can go on cherishing this and get into the extreme pleasantness, that will lead to awakening.
The other option is to deny everything, including your own existence, and that will lead to extreme harshness, again you will be awakened.
Your self-doubt, self-hatred, self-denial neither allows you to experience extreme harshness or extreme pleasantness. If you go through pleasantness, you doubt it, 'No, no, no. This cannot be permanent or eternal.' If you go through harshness, you build a hope, 'No, no. I will get out of it and I will have pleasantness, joy one day.'
Hope stops you from going through the extreme harshness. Doubt stops you from going through the extreme pleasantness. When you don't allow both, and continue to enjoy your struggling state, incompletion, you will only maintain your ordinary waking state.
Sleep is the base material out of which dreams can be dreamt. Confusion is the base material out of which this waking state can be perceived. Only when you are in the state of sleep, you can dream. Only when you are in the state of confusion, you can see this waking state.
That is why confusion is a very precious investment for you. Let confusion not become your most precious investment. In every step, every line, every inch of your life, if confusion becomes your basic stand, basic foundation, then imagine the amount of time you are wasting, and energy you are destroying.
There is a beautiful verse in the Taitirriya Upanishad: anando brahmeti vyajānāt – Bliss is God, don't waste it.
You may think, what do they mean by don't waste it. Don't waste it by attributing it to your confusion. If you think confusion is bliss, if you maintain the stand that confusion is bliss, you are wasting your life, destroying your life. You are wasting the bliss, destroying bliss.
Your day to day habits get recorded into your muscle memory. Your lifestyle patterns, like what you feel about you, all that, gets recorded in your bio-memory. Cleaning up your muscle memory can be done by building good habits.
Cleaning up your bio-memory – what do you feel about you consciously, can be done only by awakening the Seeking.
Seeking either leads you into extreme pleasantness or extreme harshness of the Reality. In both ways, it awakens you, whether you get into completing your individual existence, or whether you get into expanding your individual existence into cosmic existence.
If your individual existence becomes cosmic existence by devotion it is called Upāsanā. If your individual existence becomes nothing, by allowing the cosmic existence, it is called Vipāssanā.
In both extremes, you are awakened. Whether Upāsanā or Vipāssanā, you will be awakened. But go through any one extreme, only then you will be awakened.
Don't continue to play in the field of confusion. You will continue to be just in this dilemma - waking state. Dilemma destroys your dignity; takes away your respect for yourself.
Use any one, cooperate with any one. Allow the awakening to happen. That is all the essence of life.
Stop Seeking !!
Stop seeking, you will find your God! All around us, we come across people who are running towards God. Or who they think God is! They spend so much time and effort in seeking God in all kinds of places. Often, after they believe they have found Him in one place of worship, they will again begin their search in some other new place. They become professional seekers. Even those who deny God, the atheists, are seekers.
They too are seeking their own version of God! In reality, seekers do not ever truly find God. This is because in the inner world, the logic is very different.
The process of seeking is not the same as in the material world, where things exist in separate physical forms.
In the spiritual realm, God is not at the end of a journey. He is not the achievement. He is just in the Awareness.
God is already in each one of us, only we have lost the sensitivity to know His presence! When God is all around us, and inside us, it means that we cannot run towards Him, for in which direction shall we choose to run? He is everywhere!
This is the Awareness we need to have to reach God. This is in fact is true of all goals.
Goals are not reached by frantically running towards them. That makes us tense and creates barriers in the quest. The path should be the quest, not the destination.
If we move towards the destination without expectations, if we work towards goals with no attachments to failure or success, we will find that we become far more productive. We would then work with no stress at all, completely focused on the journey, the process, and the present.
To work in the present in our daily life we need to trust life itself. We need to trust existence or God. This abiding trust in existence is actually the path to God. But we spoil this path by judging all events against our goals set by our minds.
When we sincerely make efforts, immersing ourselves in trust, whatever happens will be good for us. This is what I mean by saying that you actually achieve your goals when you stop running towards them.
Zen masters say: 'When you see Buddha on the road, kill Him!' If you see Him, or think you see Him, he is not real.
When you stop seeking, you will find Him. Seeking makes you tense. It makes you miss your real purpose.
Start Living
Time and time again great Masters have told us that the Truth is within us. But we are always seeking the Truth outside. We take pride in calling ourselves seekers.
It is something like this: there is a book in front of you and you try to pick it up. You try to pick it up, but you don't pick it up; you keep trying, that's all!
Can there be something called, 'trying to pick up a book?' You either pick it up or not! How can you try to pick up a book? It sounds ridiculous! Our seeking is exactly like this. It is like a buffer between the Truth and us and we continue seeking!
We develop a 'seeker ego' that keeps us comfortably cushioned from the reality of life. Seekers are like window shoppers. They go from one Master to another, from one philosophy to another, gather intellectual knowledge and start playing with words instead of trying to experience anything.
Playing with words is a dangerous game. Deep down you will be confused, but you will talk great philosophies outside.
When you understand that you don't have to seek, and that you only have to live, and experience the Truth that is inside, the Truth will start revealing itself
to you in every passing moment.
This is what I mean when I say, 'start living!' This is what we are actually seeking, but we are caught up in the act of seeking instead of in the act of living. So now I tell you: Stop seeking and start living; you will then find what you are seeking!
Iii. Seeking And The Four Tattvas
When you are ferocious to challenge anything which
says— 'it won't change,' that ferociousness to change everything is what I call Seeking.
Seeking Awakens The Four Tattvas (Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, And Enriching)
When seeking becomes the source of inspiration whether in your business or in your career, in your job or in your relationship, tremendous authenticity will start radiating without even you practicing it. Tremendous integrity will start radiating.
If authenticity is awakened, even if you are in a relationship, you are better than any Sannyasi. If authenticity is not invoked, even if you are a so-called Sannyasi, you are worse than any person having any number of relationships.
It is the invoking of the authenticity, it is the level of authenticity that decides you, not the number of relationships, the number of businesses, and the number of jobs you do.
You can be working the whole or lazing around for the whole day, you can be making money the whole day or spending money the whole, nothing is right or nothing is wrong. What matters is the ability to radiate your authenticity, in your relationships or in your business or in your career or in everything in your life.
When the seeking is awakened, the ability to radiate authenticity, the joy of radiating authenticity, the way you will hold your family, the way you will hold your team, the way you will hold your very life, will become enriched.
The level of authenticity, integrity, responsibility and the energy that you start radiating in you will help you to enrich others. That will give you the strength and responsibility to make that person connected with the spiritual truths or the Master.
If you yourself are in the space of seeking, the state of seeking, you will understand – by enriching what can I add to him. I can just simply transform that being. What can he add to me – the joy of brotherhood.
When you know what he can add to you, and you can add to him, then the authenticity, integrity, and responsibility that radiates in your thoughts, words and actions will be immeasurable.
You will become authentic, you will become integrated, you will become responsible, without even your need to practice it. It is just like an ultimate acid wash, the conscious acid wash.
You will become active the whole day and night. You will be producing the results beyond your wildest imaginations.
You will be just radiating and continue to radiate the energy, and continue to awaken people. Seeking not only awakens you, it awakens everyone around you.
This is the first prayer uttered on the planet earth. Seeking!
Seeking when it expresses through your head, it comes out as a knowledge to you. When it expresses through your heart, it comes out as a devotion to you. When it comes out through your being, it comes out as an energy. Whether it is knowledge, devotion or energy, the source material is seeking.
Integrity Of A Seeker
When you feel integrity is your responsibility, you are in the zone of practicer, a seeker. When you understand integrity is your right, you are in the zone of Enlightenment!
Integrity is not just ethics. It is your Constitutional right and the first responsibility! What all you can do is your right. What you can't do is the law, your responsibility.
In the same way, in the cosmic constitution, you have some rights and you have some responsibilities.
Here integrity is your right and responsibility. If you understand how much integrity adds to you, the powers given to you by integrity when you live integrity, then you will realize integrity i s not just your responsibility, it is your right!
When you don't have integrity, the life you want to have around you will change hour by hour. Morning you will have one idea of a certain life, noon you will have a different idea, the next day morning you will have some other idea.
So the reality you want to be in, you need to be in, and the highest reality all are different realities. You will be just pushing and pulling, and fighting, and finally any fight is defeat.
If there is a fight between you and you because of your lack of integrity, you will have so much chaos and confusion. Sometimes I have seen ten people living inside one body. Sometimes one large size joint family lives inside one body. How will you find peace?
Forgetting happens because lack of integrity. If one person takes over the other person inside you, you forget what the other person was thinking. So you are all group living in one body! When I ask you your name you should say your name and the group. It is not one person, it is group of people living inside you.
The problem is when group of people live, all of them need to share your body. One person has your hand, one person has your leg, one person has your brain, and one person has your heart. So all of them are handicapped, because nobody owns the whole. You have become like a group of people living in one body when you lack integrity.
Complete with yourself and align you to integrity. When you align yourself to integrity suddenly you will become one being. When you are one being the reality you want to be, you need to be, and the highest reality, all become one and the same.
When you integrate you, whatever you want to achieve you just declare and do it. You will see when you experience integrity in you, the whole world cooperates with you.
When you maintain integrity with others, others confidence over you increases. When you maintain integrity with you, your confidence over you increases. When you have confidence over you, you will realize you are the ultimate doer, you are the causer of reality.
When you bring integrity in your thinking you become aware of every anxiety you go through, every fear you go through, every forgetfulness you go through.
How you are responsible for creating negativity in your life, how you are anxious to create negativity in your life, and how you can align yourself with yourself and the world, can just align itself with you.
With lack of integrity there is such huge confusion. You do not know what goes on inside you and outside you, and you even forget sometimes what you really want.
When you lack integrity you even forget what you actually want. After two days you don't know what you wanted. You can have the life of not having what you want. Even that can be forgiven, but you can't have the life of not knowing what you want.
Not having what you want is only poverty; not knowing what you want is just horror.
Bring Authenticity To Be A Seeker
Authenticity is the intelligence to alter your possibility consciously in a right way. Authenticity is great possibility to alter your life in a right way.
Let me expand on authenticity. Authenticity means the state where you are established in the peak of your capability, your possibility, and you respond to life from who you perceive yourself to be, your inner image, and the peak in your outer image, and establish yourself in the peak of others image about you. Whatever you perceive about you is only a possibility.
If you think you are a good person, a nice person, even that is only a possibility for the greater saint to happen. If you think you are filled with jealousy, dirt, junk, disease, and depression, that is also not reality. It is a possibility for a greater disease, a greater depression, and greater disorders to happen.
Now almost all of us experience ourselves as a mixture of both - a little health and little disease, little goodness and little badness, little joy and little depression, little reconciliation and little fight, and little wealth and little poverty.
So you are a possibility for any extreme. In a way you are a possibility for any possibility. When you are in a state of possibility
for any possibility you are called a seeker.
Seeker is a person who is possibility for any possibility. If you already became a sinner you can't be a seeker. If you are already a saint you can't be a seeker.
If you are perceiving the possibility for both as a possibility in your reality, you are seeker. This means you do not know which side you are going to take, you do not know what is going to be your life.
Most of us experience ourselves as a possibility for both possibilities and every possibility. We all think we are a possibility for all possibilities, and your life is also a possibility for many possibilities.
Nothing is yet become reality. But all your suffering is because you think life has become reality. It has not. Because you still are in the mode of trial and error, life is also giving you time and waiting.
Authenticity is the right way of making your life's possibilities. Authenticity will make you better and better every day. Authenticity has so much power. Every third day you will feel you are becoming new. The new possibilities are opening, new experiences are happening.
Authenticity will make you feel stronger and stronger every day, will make you experience the new possibilities. It will open up new possibilities continuously.
Bring authenticity. You will continuously expand. You will grow in your health, you will grow in your energy, you will grow in your possibility, you will grow in your thinking, and you will grow in every level. So you will be growing younger.
Authenticity is the direct technique for growing younger. Authenticity makes you grow younger in your inner space, because every day the way you think about you is expanding. The way you perceive you is expanding. T he way you experience you is growing.
Today how you perceive you, if you achieve something that you think you can't achieve, it just completely transforms you. When your perception about you is transformed your possibility in life is transformed. When the possibility in life is transformed, the possibility of everything is transformed.
Bring Authenticity continuously. Expand how you feel about you, how you project to others, and how others experience you. Go on expanding. Authenticity is the possibility of life in you.
How you perceive you, how you project to others, has to expand just like the universe.
Constantly the universe is expanding. Constantly it is expanding into expansion itself. It is not expanding into something else.
How can Universe expand? Then into what it can expand? It is expanding in the expansion. The expansion is the space it is expanding.
You don't know where things sucked into the black hole goes. It goes into the black hole itself. Black hole goes into black hole.
The big Bbang explodes in big bang. Whatever comes out of the big bang, from where it comes nobody knows. Whatever goes into the black hole, where it goes nobody knows. The whole universe with their big bangs and black holes where they are expanding nobody knows.
It is expanding in expansion itself. In the course of time scientist will prove what I am saying scientifically. Expansion is a space in which expanding can happen.
Authenticity is the space where life can happen. Here because of the air, the voice, the words that I am uttering is travelling and reaching your ears. Listening is happening.
The space of air makes listening possible. The space of expansion makes expanding possible. The space of authenticity makes life possible.
Possibility of authenticity makes life possible. Continuously expanding you without any limit in front of your eyes is universal life.
If you see the end in front of your life you are atheist. If you see the end in front of your mental eye you are materialist. If you are able to see your end in front of your emotion and visualization, you may be called a seeker.
If you don't see the end, go on expanding with Authenticity in your life. Bring this possibility of expansion in your cognition first about you, not as imagination or visualization.
Life is for realizing the possibility. Life is for realizing the self. Tiredness and boredom are your enemies which stops authenticity happening in you.
Drop these two. Bring authenticity in whatever you are, how you feel you, how you project yourself to others, and how others want you for them. In all this three bring yourself to your peak.
Enriching The Way Of A Seeker
Enriching means, you taking the responsibility with integrity and authenticity, that you are committed to continuously enriching, which is expanding yourself, and life in and around you.
Enriching is continuously which is expanding yourself and life in and around you.
The first question which usually comes people's mind especially if you are a spiritual seeker is: why should I enrich others with these principles? If I live is that not enough? Why do I need to enrich others with these principles?
You should understand life happens to us outside us. Consciousness may be inside, but life is happening outside. If you are just inside a deep jungle in a cave, eating some forest fruits and drinking water, and sleeping, you don't see people at all.
Then you may not need to enrich others. But even then you need to enrich the tree which gives you the fruit, and the river which gives you water. Life is happening to us, outside us.
Who Are You?
You are just a collection of all identities. For example, if your personality is 100%,
the identity that you are a daughter might be occupying 20%, wife will be occupying 20-30%, disciple may be occupying some 20-30%, and a teacher may be occupying 10%.
Different identities occupy a certain percentage of your being. So now the personality, the identity that you feel you are a daughter gets fulfilled, only if your father is enriched. Life can happen to you completely.
So if your personality is 100% each person has a share. Only if all of them are enriched in your life will it be complete and enriched. Don't think if you just enrich yourself alone you are going to experience completion, fulfillment and life.
Enriching others is a basic necessity of your life experiencing fulfillment. You can never be complete or fulfilled if all the people who are involved in your life are not complete or fulfilled.
Again and again seekers have a problem of why should I enrich others life? This is one of the biggest problem we have. I should live I understand, why should I bother about others. After all the world is and illusion.
You can realize the truth that the world is and illusion only when you are in completion.
Only when you enrich others you are enriched. Only when you start teaching to others, you realize the truth completely.
In Sanskrit, there is a proverb when you listen from the Master you understand only 25%, when you clarify your doubts, you understand 50%, when you discuss among your friends, you understand 75%, when you start teaching and sharing with others only then you understand 100%.
Unless you enrich others with whom life is happening to you, you can never experience fulfillment. People who are involved in your life such as your employees, boss, father, mother, and whoever is involved in your life, if they are not radiating these principles, you are not going experience fulfillment.
You are not going to be experiencing the truth. You are not going to be experiencing the completion. The enriching does not happen to you. Unless you enrich others you will never be complete.
Because life is happening to us outside. Only consciousness is happening to us inside.
Enriching is taking responsibility with integrity, and authenticity that you are committed to continuously enrich yourself and enrich others. Not giving upon you and people.
If you give up on others without enriching them, you will give up on yourself. If you don't have the patience to enrich others without giving up on them continuously, you will not have patience to enrich you without giving up on you.
When you give up on you what happens to you physically it is disease, mentally it is depression, and consciously it is bondage.
Each person you have not given up on in your life is one extra hand you have, and each person you gave up in your life is one broken hand.
Enriching happens to you when you are enriching others also. If you give up on you, you fall into depression. If you give up on others you fall into loneliness.
Don't give up on you, don't give up on others.
Expansion in your consciousness happens only when the enriching happens to people around you. Without enriching others the completion and fulfillment, will never be experienced inside you no matter how much you may try. With this understanding, even the business you do will be a great fulfillment. Till you experience the fulfillment in others who are living around you, your inner space can never settle in completion.
Iv. Become A Seeker
When you feel you are hitting a wall or you have a sense of suffocation, increase seeking with intensity and passion.
Make Seeking Your Lifestyle
Seeking should continue for forever and ever. It should become your breathing style, your lifestyle.
It should just become part of you, your very core. Seeking should be one of the first, foremost and last quality a man should develop. Constantly seeking the ultimate truth.
Whether you pick up a job or build a career, or get married, in every decision, in every action, in every step of your life, seeking should be the first priority.
When you get married, seek the truth of the relationship. How does this relationship complete the other person and complete me? What is the nitty-gritty, bolts and nuts of fulfillment or completion the other person is seeking in me, and I am seeking in the other person? Explore. That is marriage.
In a career, in a job, you have to explore what is it that my employer tries to complete through me? What is it I try to complete through my employer? In your career, try to see what is it my customer tries to complete through me? How can I become complete through this customer? How can he enrich me and I can enrich him? You will see tremendous integrity and authenticity in all your dealings of life.
Seeking: The God In You Awakens
Seeking is the way the God in you wakes up. Early morning when you remember the person 'you' who is in the waking state, that is the way you get out of the person who is in the dream state. There is one you - the dreamer you and the waking you. When you remember the waking you, the dreaming you merges into the waking you. You wake up and move to that waking you.
In the waking state, you exist as somebody. In the dream state, you exist as somebody. The moment you remember you, who is in the waking state, the person who is dreaming, wakes up. Remembrance of the waking state is the way, the waking state person moves away from the dream person.
It is actually the waking state person who enters into the dreaming person and removes you from the dream and you wake up!
In the same way God, supremely awakened being, which is YOU, who enters into the waking state person and moves you to that state – that is called seeking.
A waking personality of you enters into the dream personality, and reminds your waking state to the dream personality, and waking you up to your waking state. This is your everyday experience.
You have four states – deep sleep, dream state, waking state, and awakened state. The waking state 'you' enters into the dream state and wakes you up. The awakened state of 'you' enters into the waking state, and awakens you. That is Seeking.
If you have started seeking, God has graced you. He has showered His grace on you. Now, the train is going to stop only when you have achieved your goal, not before that.
Shankara, the saint, says: awakening of seeking in a human being is one of the greatest and rarest thing that can happen. Seeking fulfills everything you seek and beyond. It awakens the truth in you. It awakens the possibility in you.
Seeking is the finest expression of God in human being. When God expresses, you may express many qualities. Every power is God expressing through you.
The finest, subtlest, and greatest power and experience that God can express through you is seeking. Because He reminds His nature to you and makes you into He.
Fall In Love With Seeking
Seeking is your innermost core's pain by understanding it has not yet expressed its full potential. Your innermost core's suffocation by understanding it needs to expand.
Your inner most being's decision to expand. Decision to be free. I am defining seeking as your inner most core's decision to be free, your inner most core's decision to be awakened. Your inner most core's decision not to continue with the status-quo.
Continuing with the status quo, with the fantasy, someday something will happen from heaven or from somewhere. From the sky something will drop and everything in my life will be aligned and proper. Fallible vision is fantasy. Infallible fantasy is vision.
When you take the responsibility for your visualization, it is vision. When you don't take responsibility for your thinking, it is fantasy.
Much of your inner happening is the game of fantasy, and unfortunately you make that into a religion. Fantasy should be entertained to the level of entertainment, not more than that. Don't make a religion out of it. That is not the stuff out of which we can make religion.
A pillar made of fiberglass can be used as a decoration piece, but you can't make a building stand on it. The fiberglass pillar cannot hold the building, it can only be a decoration piece. If you try to make the building stand on it, you are in danger. You are wrong. It is so unfortunate we go on cherishing fantasy.
We also have one more fantasy to support our fantasy – someday, from somewhere, something will fall and everything will become alright. That is what I call the status-quo living.
The status-quo living is postponing with the fantasy, thinking someday, something will collapse, something will fall and everything will become alright. The worst thing of living this status-quo is that after sometime you even forget you can take decisions.
I have seen people, for their entire life they are activists, meaning they get on the stage and give big lectures on cleaning the country. They even join the army which cleans the streets, schools, and colleges. Finally after sometime, they learn only the art of mobilizing the huge gathering and huge volunteers, and doing something. Slowly, slowly they forget they themselves can do something.
And I have seen that these types of people, the street in which they go for a walk everyday is full of trash and dirt. It may take ten minutes for them to clean that area,
but they won't, because they forget they can do something. They always think they can only mobilize the crowd, and that crowd only can do something. They forget they themselves can do something.
This example is very important. If you look into your life, many times you walk three kilometers to go and give a lecture about cleanliness, but the house where you are staying or the street where you are walking, if you just bent down and spend ten minutes minutes it will become clean.
You forget that it is possible, and you don't even keep that in your cognition. That is not there as part of you. Always the status-quo life will be a stinking life where a simple reality which can be seen even by a child will be forgotten by you.
In a status-quo life, you read, see, and understand more from your brain than from the Reality. Most of the time the spelling mistakes you make while you read a newspaper, or magazine, or your Ipod will be very funny, because you don't read from there, you read from your brain.
When you read something for the second time and third time you will realize, 'Oh, this is what is there! But I thought this is what is there!' Even while you are seeing, you don't see the object you are reading from, you see from the brain. In the status-quo life,
you are almost caught in the cobweb of thinking, which is a very suffocating karma pattern. A mental pattern which does not let you relate with reality.
Seeking is the decision to melt you and reinvent you. To melt you and mould you as you want. I tell you, the greatest blessing in life is not even God's grace, but seeking for God's grace. It is not even enlightenment, seeking the enlightenment.
Seeking is the time you can enjoy the glory of Enlightenment, because after you become enlightened, You are that, what is there separately to enjoy.
Seeking is the real honeymoon. Seeking is the real time and space where you can reinvent yourself, where you can melt, go on melting, melting, and melting.
An ordinary human being from the birth to the death, he goes on freezing, freezing, and freezing himself. He life is just hijacked by his hormones. By the time he wakes up, he has already landed in death. In the birth he takes off, in a few minutes hormones put the knife on your throat and says, 'fly the plane as I say, where I want.' You are hijacked. When the hormones say, 'come on land here.' When you land, the land is death.
It is just hormones hijacking you. The so called normal life is hormonal hijack. Rarely when you fall in love with something or some person, you develop the ability to reinvent yourself, reorganize yourself, awaken yourself,
And Look Into Something Fresh.
It is only during the seeking when you fall in love with the highest possibility. When you raise in love, not fall in love. Raise in love with the highest possibility. Only when the seeking starts, your bio-memory starts reinventing itself.
If you fall in love with something physical, you will just alter all your physique. You may start going to the gym, changing your hairstyle, and changing your dress.
When you fall in love with something physical, you decide to change your physical appearance and your hairstyle. If you are from a lower middle class family, you change your hairstyle and dress. If you are from a middle class family, you change your hairstyle, dress and skin color. If you are from a upper class family, you change even the shape of your body through some surgery.
When you fall in love with physical, you adjust and alter your physique. When you fall in love with something super-conscious, you get the ability to change your very consciousness. Falling in love with the super consciousness, and awakening your ability to reinvent and reorganize your very bio-memory, your very core consciousness, is what I call seeking.
In whichever way you feel connected, you try to adjust yourself to that. When you fall in love with something physical,
you try to alter your physical appearance. Whether you buy or grab, or steal, or hook or crook, you get the ability to change.
When you are in love with something physical, you change your physical appearance. When you fall in love with something super-conscious, you awaken your bio-memory and intelligence to alter your very core consciousness: your very bio-memory and your very being. The ability to reinvent, re-organize, and rediscover your very bio-memory, is what I call seeking.
When you start seeking the higher possibilities, your body gets rearranged, your mind gets reorganized, your intellect gets reinvented, your bio-memory gets rejuvenated, and your consciousness gets re-cognized.
When you re-cognize yourself, naturally you will recognized. When you re-cognize yourself, the world will also re-cognize you – that is recognizing you.
Seeking the higher possibilities, physically or mentally or consciously, is the key truth.
Seeking, however much, I mould the words and decorate, seeking can never be beautified by any of the words I utter. It can never be glorified by any of the words I am trying to express. Only when you taste it, you know the power of it.
I will give you an example. When you are a teenager, when your Mom asks you to buy vegetables and milk or some groceries from the store, you won't walk even up to the corner of your street.
But when you fall in love, especially that puppy love, to have a glimpse of your girlfriend or boyfriend. You will be ready to walk five kilometers, to have a glimpse of your boyfriend or girlfriend. When your Mom says, just buy some vegetables, milk or grocery you can't walk five houses. But when you fall in love, the five kilometers distance looks like nothing.
When you fall in love,
your capacity to reinvent yourself is awakened in you. In the same way, when you fall in seeking, the capacity to reinvent your very core Consciousness gets awakened in you.
If your teacher says, 'wake up in the early morning and start studying for exams,' you won't do. But when you fall into seeking, you will wake up early in the morning, and you will be up and alive, reading Upanishads, doing Yoga, and meditating.
What puppy love can do to you, seeking can do the same thing to your Consciousness. In puppy love, the energy you radiate in your body and mind, you will radiate tons of it in your core Consciousness in seeking.
When the seeking is awakened in you, even you will be surprised about you. When the seeking was awakened in Me,
even I was surprised about My capacities, about what I am doing.
Your very understanding about you will become different when the seeking is awakened in you. You become so serene, so graceful, so alive, so light, and ready to take-off. You are no more a hard stone. You become one with the thin air, ready to go higher, higher, and higher. Seeking makes you LITE and LIGHT.
If you taste seeking, that's enough. You got it. You really got it. In seeking, you just see and you can do anything. It is like you can take out your kidney and wash it and put it back. Take out the intestine and clean it and put it back. Take out the heart and pump a little energy into it and put it back.
If you can do that,
how easy it will be for you to maintain your health. You will exactly get that same capacity related to your consciousness in seeking. You just know which part needs to corrected, completed, cleansed, altered, and awaken it. Seeking awakens that potential in you.
Not just cleansing your liver or kidney or intestine, but the source energy of your liver, kidney, intestine. Seeking just intoxicates you with the ultimate truth. Then nothing else is needed. When you are intoxicated with the ultimate truth,
nothing else is needed. Life in its fullest form is experienced.
The moment seeking starts, you wake up to the Cosmos. How everyday in the morning you wake up to this world, in the same way when the seeking starts, you wake up to the Cosmos, the higher energy.
It is the spirit of seeking that keeps the highest possibility available to human beings. The spirit of seeking is much more than Enlightenment itself. It is much more than anything which can be said and which can't be said.
Be A Seeker In Everything
Without the context of seeking, even renunciation can lead you into laziness. A lot of people talk as if they are renouncing just to justify their laziness.
Renunciation is not renouncing the action. You grow grass, feed the cow, milk, then make it as curd, churn, get the butter, boil it, make ghee, and offer the ghee to the Deity, Divine, God, or Guru. That is renunciation, sacrifice.
If you don't grow the grass that is not sacrifice. That is boredom and tiredness. Many people don't even take the effort of growing the grass and they say, 'Oh, everything is Maya.'
Without understanding the context, even the greatest truth can be missed and misused.
Seeking, honest seeking, authentic seeking, being integrated to your seeking, is one of the most important alignment you need to do in your life, every day. Because it is only by seeking your Being is kept in the most possible, highest peak of awareness.
Keep the seeking alive. Let the seeking become your first response to life. Let the seeking be the source of inspiration for you to live. Let the seeking be the energy to live. Let the seeking be the intensity to live.
Without the context of seeking, the most subtle truths are never cognized. Cognizing the most subtle truths, in the right context happens only by you keeping your seeking alive.
Everything from deity worship, attending satsang, reading the scriptures, doing voluntary service, pranayama, yoga, spiritual practice, whatever you are doing, should strengthen your seeking, should make you more and more strong seeker.
The depth of your seeking should be increased! Don't ever think without seeking any higher thing can be achieved. No. Everything, every higher thing, is achieved only by seeking.
Make Seeking Part Of Your Cognition
One of the biggest mental disorder is being unable to sit with yourself. Understand, just learning the concept, not making it as part of your cognition, is the most dangerous.
Just hearing these words, not making it as part of your cognition, will give you pseudo satisfaction as if you know it is truth. That is the most dangerous. That is why I tell you, before initiation, the disciple need to be prepared. The moment you are initiated, you should just follow the truth.
Pain is such self destructive mechanism that will not allow you to reinvent yourself with any new concepts and strategies. Knowing all the spiritual truths, but not living them makes you feel as if you are already living them, that is what is incomplete knowledge.
How ever much you may know about yoga, unless you DO, you won't have the result. How ever much you may know about swimming, unless you start swimming, you will not have the result. How ever much you may know about surgery, unless you do it, you don't know what it is.
Knowing but not doing, the non-practice, that's the most difficult mental setup. Once you acquire that, your whole life is gone.
Listening to the concept but not living them, listening to the truths but not living them, that is the most dangerous.
Once that mental setup comes to you, anything you know you will know how to brush it aside. It is like watching an advertisement on the TV, 'Call now, call now, call now.' How you don't even care and change the channel, you will develop the same attitude even towards the spiritual truths.
When the truth says, 'You are Consciousness, You are Consciousness, You are Consciousness. Start living,' you will switch to another channel. If you develop the attitude of inaction in the face of spiritual truths, then nothing can help you reinvent yourself.
If you think, 'I'll attend all the sessions, classes and learn the strategies, but I don't need to do anything, because I know I am Consciousness, and Swamiji has been saying the same thing since 2003,' then you are worshipping the ignorance.
Pain in life makes part of you stagnant constantly. Stagnation is the residue of pain. Being stagnant, feeling stuck is the hang over of pains in life, which happens constantly till you become enlightened. So the one and only solution is: reinventing yourself and re-strategizing yourself constantly.
When you are driven by your greed or fear, constantly you will reinvent yourself. If you are in love with a girl,
how constantly you will reinvent yourself to demonstrate your love to her or impress her.
If you are afraid of your wife, how constantly you will reinvent yourself to save yourself or to escape from her. When the fear and greed is there, how you constantly reinvent yourself, re-strategize yourself, do that same out of inspiration or the great truths.
Any spiritual truth, the moment you hear it or listen it from the Master, it has to be implicated, if not it will never be implicated. If you don't make it as your cognition by today's sunset, it is not useful for you, forget it. Otherwise you will develop a wrong pattern of listening, but not living. Don't do that; that is Atmahana, saying no to life.
Fools are those who listen to the great truths, but do not make them as part of their cognition. If you have postponed the spiritual truths in your life without letting them become your cognition, parts of you have already frozen. It has become dead.
Melt all those parts which have become dead, frozen, and re-strategize your whole life with that truth, 'I am Consciousness.'
Don't be pushed by fear and greed, be pushed only by tremendous joy, inspiration, happiness, bliss, fulfillment, and completion!
Part 3: The Book of Seeking
If your fuel is only completion and inspiration, you are blessed!
Reinventing yourself, re-strategizing your life, discovering through you, making you flow more and more, making you alive more and more, breaking the parts of you which are frozen, and making the parts of you (tiredness, boredom), which are frozen into alive again, seeking is the enlightenment dosa (South Hindu food).
I thought if nobody is listening to the spiritual teachings I am giving, at least I will start a dosa shop and sell Enlightenment through dosas. That is my new strategy. The Enlightenment dosas! Seeking should be the frying pan for pouring your being and re-strategizing and reinventing you!
About The Technique
All the incomplete knowledge which you have learned, but never made as experience makes you fall into hell.
Duration
As much time as needed.
Instructions
Sit and start scanning sincerely what concepts you have heard and never made them into experience. Start scanning, don't say, 'ah, I am consciousness, I heard in 2004 from THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM when he first came to Paris.'
But so many times you denied living that Truth: I am consciousness. But denying and living has become a lifestyle in you now.
See I didn't live I am consciousness, because at that time my divorce was going on, I decided after my divorce, I will rest, relax in peace, live and radiate I am consciousness, until then I need a certain amount of vengeance and anger to fight with my husband.
So at that time I could not practice any spirituality, I have postponed it.
The second time when you look in, you will find the postponing has become a pattern in you.
Today again sit, and contemplate on all the decisions and strategies you can do and make based on the truth: 'I am Consciousness.' Re-strategize your life and reinvent yourself.
Reinventing means re-strategizing your life, re-strategizing your life means reinventing you. So understand, not re-strategizing is not only not good, but dangerous.
Awaken The Seeking In You
Awaken your seeking, that is enough.
Seeking is intelligent enough, efficient enough, and powerful enough for you to experience the space you are seeking. Rekindle seeking in your life; awaken it into your life.
Decide whatever truths your Master says, whatever truth clicks with you, decide to start living them, and aligning your thinking and lifestyle to that truth. Then your seeking will become intense.
For example, you are thinking about death, you can think about it on your own and try to find out what will happen, or you can listen to what the Master says, 'don't worry once you die, you will only be with Me, you will be with Me in the Kailasa, don't worry.'
If suddenly that answer clicks with you, and you start aligning yourself to that answer, thinking about that answer, cherishing that answer, enjoying that answer, and planning for that space in your inner space, your seeking will intensify.
Either seek on your own or listen to the answers your Master gives. Cherishing His words, entertaining them, enjoying them, enriching them, and encourage them in your system.
Then naturally you will start thinking: How will Kailasa look, will I have a western toilet or a eastern toilet there? Will I have food there? Will I have pain and pleasure there? Will I have only pleasure and no pain there? Or will I have only pain and no pleasure? Even these questions will invoke seeking in you.
Then what is the best way I can prepare to go there, should I be lean so that I can fly there immediately, or should I be overweight so that I can be carried on Nandi (Shiva's bull vehicle)? What will be the transport?
Even if these questions look very playful, when you sit and talk it out inside you, within you, they will start provoking many of the corners of you which you have not attended.
Many of the corners of you, which you have not attended, will be provoked, that is what I call seeking. That just melts you. That will bring intensity in you. You will no more be inauthentic in any of your actions. Before doing any action, you will ask yourself: is this going to intensify my seeking and help me to reach where I want to go? Authenticity means all your actions are aligned to seeking.
Essence And Only Priority Of Life
Intense decision to have seeking. The ferociousness of seeking is powerful enough light the fire in you to burn everything which needs to be burnt and destroyed in you: laziness, tiredness, boredom, everything which needs to be burnt inside you.
Deciding to seek your home, deciding to seek where you can have eternal rest, deciding to seek where you can have eternal peace, deciding to seek where you can have eternal bliss, that decision itself, that seeking itself is powerful enough to give you the freedom to reorganize yourself.
If there are ten rods made out of copper and you have to make the deity of Shiva, keeping all the ten rods together and tying it, and start carving here and there on that, you will never be able to make the deity of Shiva on it. Just melt it and pour in the mould, you will have a Shiva deity.
In the same way, as on now what you are, by self-development you will never achieve the 'Self'. The self can never be developed, it should only be discarded. Whatever can be developed is just the mind. Developing your mind can only be called as self-development.
The greatest ability you need to develop, the first priority for you to develop is the ability to reorganize yourself.
The whole seeking and living enlightenment is nothing but reorganizing yourself, not developing yourself. Developing means that today you have the compassion to give ten rupee charity, tomorrow you put twenty rupee charity, the day after tomorrow you put thirty rupee for charity. First you learn little compassion, then you learn little love, that is development.
Reorganizing means changing the very cognition you have! 'Till today, even my charity was done with the purpose of self 'me' 'me' 'me'. This is the wrong cognition. From today even my work is going to be done with the cognition of enriching.' That is all! The cognitive shift is what I call Seeking.
Intense seeking gives you the energy to melt you and mould you as you want. Seeking means changing your cognition about you, the world, God, and everything, to align to the reality. You do not need anything as the first priority. Seeking is the first priority.
From morning until night, the ideas which drive you: the idea of pleasure, the idea of pain, the idea of right and wrong, the idea of self-respect or self-denial,
all of this, see if it is aligned to the reality? Align them to reality, that is all.
That is all is seeking! Nothing else is needed in life.
Duration
As much time as needed.
Instructions
From morning to night, whatever you do, the moment you wake up and until the moment you fall asleep, fall into bed, everything, see to it, it is ALL aligned to the reality. Everything is aligned to the reality of eternal bliss, to the reality of oneness, to the purpose of eternal bliss.
Listen To The Words Of The Master
The first time when you hear a Guru's words, with so much of seeking, interest, and excitement, you enjoy it and start picking up many things, and internalizing it as part of your life. Then after some time, your seeking comes down, you listen, but take it for granted, 'Okay. Ah, like this only He talks. It's okay. I have heard enough.' Slowly, slowly, you take Guru's words for granted.
For how many years you may listen to satsang, you create a huge iron wall around you, the Guru's words never penetrates and becomes part of you. The is because with each word you created a pain pattern: how not to allow that to get internalized into you. How to keep that away from you.
Your earlier failures or thinking that I tried, but it is not working out, He is great but it is not going to work out for me, develops these kinds of patterns, thought trends, and seeking becomes lost. Even if you live around the Master for years listening to satsang for years and nothing happens to you, you have become a dangerously un-trainable and nontransformable.
Taking the Master's words for granted, not taking them into your heart and making your life align to it, reinventing your life and re-strategizing is the worst thing
that can happen to you. Because other than the Master's words, there is no anchor available on planet earth.
Anybody who has drowned in the ocean of samsara, the ocean of delusion and bondage, the only anchor available to raise yourself to the next level is the Master's words. From the other plane of existence, the only bridge available to this plane, this universe, is an Enlightened Master's words.
If you don't catch that and raise yourself, nothing else: no puja, no meditation, and no spiritual practice can help you. The highest spiritual practice is catching the Master's words, constantly reinventing yourself and re-strategizing yourself.
Reinventing and re-strategizing yourself is the only way. Re-strategizing yourself, with the Master's words, reinventing yourself, with every word of the Master, is seeking.
If your seeking is alive, you will go on reinventing yourself. You will raise yourself by yourself! You will be so alive! So active! You will be so brilliant, so energetic, because seeking is the most powerful way you can exist, you can experience you.
Practice, Practice, Practice
Constantly seek in your life and explore the possibilities in every field. Keep the practice alive. If you don't explore, you will end up in boredom.
If you are doing a job, if you don't explore the deeper and deeper dimensions of that job, even if that job is paying you billions of dollars, you will be bored. You will donate everything to charity and start doing charitable work.
In any field, whether it is your relationships, business, and even living with your body, if you are bored of the same routine, you bring sickness to your body, so that you have a change of routine.
Many times, just for a change, you bring disease to your body! It is the truth. Anything you don't explore will bore you.
If your so called exciting things like money, profession, and business, can lead to boredom, then what about spiritual practice? If you don't explore, this will also lead to boredom! That is why, millions of unguided seekers, in the name of meditation, everyday, sleep well!
Even sleep has become boring! That is why sleeplessness!
Anything which you don't explore will bring boredom. That is why, sometimes people are terrorized about meditation. As if they have been asked to take poison! Meditation terrorizes them! 'No, no! I will die by boredom!'
'Practice' means 'exploring the deeper dimensions'. Don't go to a person who is not exploring the deeper dimension for any purpose.
If you want to invest your money, go to a person only who is exploring the deeper dimensions in the field of investment. If you want health, go to doctors or institutions which are constantly exploring the deeper dimensions of health.
If you want legal services, go to a person exploring the deeper dimensions of law, the different aspects of law. If you want to know spirituality, go to a person continuously exploring the deeper dimensions of spirituality.
Practice has died! Even in the big and established companies, they will suddenly sit and try to follow, and get ideas from start-up companies. Because start-up companies have new blood!
As long as you continue to explore, you continue to practice, and you continue to raise yourself, you will be alive. Life will be oozing out in you.
In any field, continuous exploration keeps you alive.
There is no such thing as a 'top person.' Who is the top person? Who is still exploring is top person! In any field, people who explore remain alive. Even in spirituality and yoga!
There is only two ways of life: either you go on expanding you and exploring or you will be practicing slow suicide.
First, your mind will say, 'oh, every morning I have to come for yoga, what is going on?' Then you will come and sit and do yoga. I have seen people doing yoga. Yoga should be done as bhoga, not as roga! Yoga should be done as an enjoyment, and excitement, not as a roga, disease.
The excitement you radiate in your body, the whole bio-memory should be alive! Your whole intelligence should be alive, up! Practice constantly exploring! If you are doing yoga, explore the different possibilities of your body: the ability to bend, to make your body strong and flexible.
Constantly exploring in every field is 'Practice'! If you are spending one hour with your family, get to know each other! Not that you will be staring at the television and facebook! Sit with others! Get to know each other!
Explore the possibilities of each other! How can one another support the other's fulfillment! Explore the other person! He may be your son, brother, sister, spouse, daughter, mother, or father.
If you are a Doctor while you attending your patient, look at the whole patient. Don't say, 'I am a lung specialist! I am going to look at only your lungs! Let him have diarrhea and die! I don't care!'
When you are attending a patient, look at him as a whole! Expand your possibility.
In every step of life, explore. Whether in your profession, or relationships, spiritual practice, or knowledge accumulation.
If you are reading only your syllabus, you are never going to be successful! You may pass the exam, but you will not be successful! The kid who is educated only in the school, is uneducated! This means, he has not explored the possibilities of life.
Everything you do, even eating, if you don't explore the different possibilities, it will be boring! Even sleeping, if you don't explore the depths of sleep, you will be so bored, you will start having insomnia, sleeplessness!
As long as you continue to explore, you will be practicing life. As long as you practice life, life practices you. This means, it keeps you alive!
When you stop practicing life, life also feels you are useless: no need to keep your body alive anymore!
Unfortunately, you have been taught you can't explore the field of emotion, it has to come by itself, you cannot explore it. You can create anything, including your own consciousness, then why not your emotions?
It is you who create it! I am not born with devotion; I created it! Devotion is one of the best ways to be eternally excited in life. Devotion keeps you in eternal excitement. Devotion makes you explore deeper and deeper dimensions of life. Devotion helps you to explore the different possibilities of life.
Practice the different possibilities! Practice every inch! Try to explore the different ways of dressing. Try to explore the different ways of brushing your teeth.
Every small thing in your life, like brushing your teeth, to great things like sitting and meditating for enlightenment, in everything, explore, explore, explore. Exploring keeps the practice alive!
When the practice is alive, you are enlightened! Enlightenment is not end of the practice. When you learn to keep the practice alive forever, you are enlightened! Keep the practice alive is enlightenment.
Possibility For Any Possibility
Whatever you experience as reality is only possibility. If you are experiencing your reality as rich, and everything is good, that is also only a possibility for something greater which is supposed to come. If you are experiencing your reality as bad, poor, suffering, and suffocation, that is also is a possibility for the worst which is going to come.
Whatever you experience as reality is only possibility. If you are experiencing good, there is a great possibility for better. If you are experiencing bad, there is a possibility for worst. But do not ever think the reality you are experiencing is reality. No it is just a possibility.
If you are experiencing fear, it is only a possibility for greater fear which is going to come. If you are experiencing courage, it is only the possibility for the greater courage which is going to come. Everything you experience as reality is just possibility.
You are only a possibility that has not yet become a reality. You realize your reality, anything you experience is not reality.
If you live authenticity, you will strengthen the right possibilities to happen. If not, you will allow your unconscious possibilities to open. That is all is life.
Understand the essence of life. You are only a possibility. Your experience is also a possibility.
One of the biggest mistake you do in your life is you think you are still a possibility, but your life is a reality. That is why you feel weak. Your life is not a stone wall already built. It is a wax model getting ready.
The reality you experience is not a stone wall already built. It is only a wax model getting ready.
Take One Year Off
The moment seeking opens in you, the moment inspiration happens in you, that first one year is a very important year.
It is like the first one year of your marriage. This is a very important time because you set a trend of how your life is going to be, how your patterns are going to be, how you are going to respond to each other, what is your boundary, what is his boundary, everything will be defined in that one year. The first year is very important in marriage, in any relationship.
In the same way, the first year is very important when you are born, because that first year is going to decide whether you are going to live or not. Even for the house, the first year is very important. That first year only is going to decide whether the house is going to stand or not, because it is going to face the seasons, all four seasons only in the first year.
If seeking opens in you, you are feeling something new is happening in your life, if you are excited about spiritual seeking, take that one year off.
How you are going to create relationship with your seeking is going to be decided in that one year. Whether you are going to ripe and get enlightened or your seeking is going to be killed
will be decided in the first one year.
The first one year the actions you perform based on the seeking, and the amount of seeking you allow to penetrate into your actions, that is going to decide whether you are going to evolve and get enlightened, or your seeking is just going to die down and it is just going to be one more breeze you experienced for few months.
That one year - if you reach that depth of spiritual experience, even by struggle, it is okay. This spiritual experience I will call it a new word spiritual cultural shock.
Every individual who comes inside the ashram and stays for more than a week goes through that - spiritual cultural shock. Because it is completely a new culture.
What you call as love will not be love. This is the place where the pure love of Kailash flows, where everybody loves your possibility, your being. A fight between two beings, two people happens when the possibility is not loved.
When the possibility is loved, there will never be a fight. There will be a lot of screaming, there will be a lot of shouting, but there will not be fighting. Screaming and shouting does not constitute fighting.
Understand, fighting constitutes ideological difference to the core. Ideological difference to the core is a basic ingredient for fight. So, what you call as fight outside you will see as if it is happening, but it will not be happening.
Same way, what you call as love outside will not be love here, what you call as fight will not be fight here, what you call as fear will not be fear here, and what you call as greed will not be a greed here. It is Kailash.
Only thing you need is somehow hang on! Don't get down from the train, that's all. Whether you are in first class or air conditioning compartment, second class or third class or third class bathroom, don't get off the train!
And I even have a fourth class - just hanging in the train bar. I have all four classes. But somehow hang on, that's all. You will reach. And all four of you will reach the goal.
The fellow who was in the air conditioning coach, for him the travel itself was little tasty, that's all. Otherwise, the goal is the same for all of you.
All four of you will reach the goal. No doubt. Nothing else. Whether you are in the air conditioning coach, first class, second class or third class or third class bathroom or fourth class hanging, hang on! That's all!
Celibacy The Only Way For Seekers
Brahmacharya - living like a God. Just because in the ashram I have the Rishi sampradaya also, it does not mean that I accept this concept of marriage in the life of a seeker.
I am making it very clear. The worst thing that can happen to a seeker, in the spiritual life is marriage. I know, I am going to break thousands of peoples' ignorance.
Understand, as a compassionate being I have to give a place for everybody. Tolerated is different, accepted is different, realized is different.
Marriage in the seekers' life is tolerated. Rishi order is accepted. But only brahmacharya is promoted. Whenever you go to the peak based on body you get back to your animal bio-memory and again it takes at least a few years of spiritual practice for you to raise to the level of Divine.
It is very rare that I speak about the importance of brahmacharya, because sometime it puts the householders into depression. But just because they fall into depression, I cannot be hiding the sacred truths for quite a long time.
Understand, already one-third of your life is gone in search of food, one-third has gone in sleep, and in the remaining one-third, until twenty-five years old you are too busy with education, after sixty-five your body and mind
won't be useful to do anything. Then between twenty-five and sixty-five, that forty years, if you get married also, gone.
Seeking is building the new consciousness for you to take a jump. It is like building an airport. How an airport runway is necessary for an aircraft to take off, a brahmacharya body is necessary for you to take off into enlightenment, into the planes of consciousness, into the space of consciousness.
In the modern day, marriage has become a failure system. You don't need a separate hell other than marriage. If you are a seeker, a sincere seeker there is no other way, other than sanyasa and brahmacharya.
In Vedic tradition, even marriage is used to reach the brahmacharya. If you are married, one year is more than enough to experience the smell of sweating and move out.
If you are a seeker, no other way, no other method, no other lifestyle exists other than brahmacharya for achieving enlightenment. If you do not have the goal of enlightenment in your life, then you do what you want, but don't promote that as the right lifestyle.
Untouched beings are the best flowers to be offered at the feet of God. I tell you if you are completely devoted, how will you feel comfortable. I know I am throwing a bomb into many families,
but I have to tell some of the spiritual truths.
This necessity for brahmacharya, celibacy for a seeker to get enlightened, is the most practical spiritual instruction I can give. It takes away millions of sufferings, and not only that even your consciousness will be free.
The more and more you feel you are married, you are committed to somebody, it is like continuously cutting the wings of a bird. The more the bird grows every three months, you cut the wings. You just clip the feathers. Will the bird be able to ever fly?
Clipping the feathers is the most unfortunate thing that can happen to a bird. Marriage is the most unfortunate thing that can happen to a seeker.
A seeker does not belong to the human species. Human beings are only potential of seekers. Seeker is the reality that started happening from the potentiality called human beings. And master is the realized of the potentiality of human beings.
The best life a human being can have is brahmacharya. If the fruit has to happen, the flower should not fall from the tree. Fallen flower never becomes fruit. A person who has fallen from brahmacharya, never becomes a Master.
One living sannyasi can create and help thousands of spiritual seekers. Sanyasis are fruits of Bharat's spiritual aspiration.
Sanyas and brahmacharya, the one and the most important spiritual path for achieving the ultimate enlightenment, and achieving the highest reality.
V. Create A New You
Seeking is a decision to face the questions that make us powerless. Facing these questions with courage will transform everything. The seeking is powerful enough to let you experience what you are seeking.
Seek For 'What Am I?
Seeking is the fire that constantly helps you to reinvent yourself. I tell you, all the best things in My life, health, the best goodness I felt about me, the ultimate ability to do tyaga (sacrifice), everything, was living in Me when I was seeking.
Even now it is living in Me, because I am established in seeking. Even an Incarnation is established in seeking. Before My enlightenment I was seeking Enlightenment. Once Enlightenment has happened, the mind disappeared, I realized, 'I am the whole, I am the Cosmos.'
But the Cosmos itself is not stagnant, it is constantly expanding. How can it expand if it doesn't have seeking to become something more? So the very expansion of Cosmos is fuelled by the seeking of Cosmos. That is why I am saying, even after I have realized, 'I am the Cosmos,' my mind has disappeared, but not seeking.
Mind disappearing is only called as Enlightenment not disappearance of seeking. That is why I insist Enlightenment is the ultimate, but not final.
Giving in to your compulsory patterns is suffering. Making the seeking as the compelling form of existence is Enlightenment.
Giving in to your patterns and compulsions are not freedom.
Unfortunately, the western civilization is teaching you, the materialistic civilization is teaching you, giving in to your pattern and compulsions is freedom. They also supply material for your pattern compulsions, and swindle you and rob you.
Giving in to your pattern and compulsions are not freedom. Make seeking as the compelling reality of you. Let seeking be the first response from you.
Let me define Seeking. Whatever I feel as 'me,' what is that? It is constantly changing, sometimes it feels good, sometimes it is bad, sometimes right, sometimes wrong, sometimes knowledgeable, and sometimes ignorant.
What is it? What am I? You should not even ask, 'who am I,' because the moment you say, 'Who am I' you already assumed you are a being.
You should only ask, 'What am I?' Because you don't even know whether you are a being or some inanimate object. The word 'Who am I' comes with the presumption you are a being, even that is not sure.
Only when you realize who you are, you can be a being. Until then, you are just only an innate existence. There are tons and tons of compulsions you may face in your life, social compulsions, family compulsions, political compulsions, and economical compulsions.
But the worst compulsion is pattern compulsion.
Pattern compulsion is the worst compulsion, where you are eternally imprisoned. Life becomes worse than hell when you are caught in pattern compulsions. Seeking is the antidote for all pattern compulsions.
The place where you stay, your house, your office, just go into those places, you will see each place has a strong pattern associated with it. How much ever you try the moment you go and sit in your bed, you will fall asleep, even if it is daytime, even after sleeping for twelve hours.
You may think, 'I will sit in my bed and do work.' The moment you sit, Nidra Devi (goddess of sleep) just embraces you and calls you, 'my son, please come…' and you're out.
Patterns and pattern compulsions are associated even with places. Go to your office, automatically you will be restless, agitated, feel like biting everyone you see in front of you, whoever is seen by you will have your 'blessings.' With each place, certain patterns are associated.
Constantly keep your seeking alive. What am I? What is it I see all around me which I tag as world? Which I classify as world?
Before accepting any friend request on Facebook, you try to see the profile. In the same way, before accepting the friend request from the world, please try to see the profile of the world, 'What it is? Who made it?'
Whenever you try to find somebody's profile, any amount of information given looks very little, you try to look for only this much, 'no, this fellow has something to hide.'
Even if you need to move along with your life not forgetting that you are having only too little information, you need to dig it out, and get all the information, After you receive the information, you should be ready to change, reinvent, and re-strategise yourself. This is Seeking.
The materialistic civilization never lets you sit back and look. If you are allowed to sit back and look you are a dangerous person. You will find the shallowness of it. Sitting back and looking is what I call unclutching, meditation, and seeking.
Sit back and look: What for are you looking, what are you looking, where are you looking? Are you looking in the right direction, what are you looking? These basic questions are enough, all the make-up of the world will disappear.
If you go in the rain, the black will become white, and white will become black. This means the hair which was dyed will become white, and the face which was painted with white will become dark, because the dye has come out. Exchange of color.
I tell you, sit back and look, you will suddenly see what you are looking can never be delivered from whom you are looking, and from where you are looking.
That is why the materialistic society and its day to day routine is always constantly pushing you, never letting you sit back and look.
Ramakrishna, an enlightened Master, says again and again, 'once in a while, you should withdraw from your office, house, everything. Just sit back, and look.' I tell you, not once in a while, every night you have to withdraw, sit back and look at your whole life, 'What are you? What am I? What am I looking for? Where I am looking for that? Whom am I looking for? Am I going to get it?'
Coming back to the basic questions is Seeking. You may be running in any speed with your materialistic needs, demands, fear, and greed, but retaining the capacity to reinvent yourself and re-strategize yourself with the conclusions of your seeking is keeping seeking alive.
Reinvent Yourself With Seeking
You might have established a business for twenty-five years, suddenly your seeking tells you that it is not the right field. As per the conclusions you arrive with your seeking, having the ability to just change, reinvent, re-strategize yourself with something new, as per the conclusions of your seeking, is keeping seeking alive. Ability to be liquid, ability to be alive, ability to be a seeker.
I am not encouraging changing, whatever you want based on your whims and fancies and your boredom.
Many people in my ashram also want to change the department, sometimes change the ashram, sometimes change the organization itself, out of their boredom, not out of their seeking.
I am not talking about that. Many people change job, change house, change car, change wife, change everything, out of boredom. Changing due to your boredom is different, reinventing and re-strategizing due to your seeking is different.
Reinventing and re-strategizing due to the conclusions of your seeking is different from changing due to your boredom and pattern compulsions.
Changing due to your boredom leads you to a deeper and deeper hell. Reinventing, re-strategizing due to your seeking leads you to Enlightenment.
Discover Your Consciousness
Discovering your Consciousness experientially is the purpose of your life? I am not using the word inventing. I am saying discovering. Discovering your Consciousness is the purpose of life.
Whether you lived as a spiritual being, as a cook, lawyer, engineer, doctor, political leader, professional, or not doing anything, nothing counts!
The only thing that counts in the Cosmos is: 'Have you discovered your pure consciousness?'
The good news I have is, nothing that you considered as the goal of your life, whether you achieved it or not achieved it, is not considered as a goal in the Cosmos.
If you think you have do not have a good name in your neighbourhood, don't worry; it is not the goal of life. If you think you don't have this, you don't have that, don't worry; this is not the goal of life.
People who have all those, wasted their time and energy! The one and only goal of life is DISCOVERING YOUR PURE CONSCIOUSNESS!
Every moment you spent in discovering your consciousness, you used that moment in your life. Every moment you didn't spend on this goal, you wasted those moments in your life. I will give you one small tip: Whenever you are able to think and intranalyze, with the goal of reaching your Source, all those moments are meditation! Even if your thinking looks very confusing!
This is consciousness declaring about itself! This is God introducing Himself! Who is the source of the whole Cosmos is introducing Himself.
I tell you, discovering the consciousness is the one and only purpose of life.
Whether life puts you in heaven or life puts you in hell, the only message life wants to send you is: DISCOVER YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS!
Whether it gives you whatever you want and keeps you in the highest pedestal of the world, society, money, wealth, power, name, fame, and everything is offered to you, life is sending you the message: DISCOVER YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS WHICH IS BEYOND ALL THESE!
If you are tortured, pushed into poverty, no food, disease, no medical care, you are literally stinking and dying every moment, life is sending you the message:
Discover Your Consciousness! That Is The Only Way To Be Rid Of This!
Understand, whether you are showered everything or tortured every moment, the one and only message life is sending to you is: DISCOVER YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS!
Master Your Thought Current
Seeking the source of you, seeking the source of the whole, seeking what happens after death is the essence of life.
If you entertain the thought current of, 'Who am I ?' The identity crisis will just dissolve. The individual consciousness awakening, will simply happen in your system.
When the thought currents are engaged, when you entertain with the thought currents you grow a new method of cognizing.
A new way of existing, a new way of perceiving, a new way of experiencing.
That is what I call divya sharira, a divine body. With that divine body you perceive, cognize, respond, react, and celebrate this whole Universe.
If you entertain the thought current of, 'Who created this world?' you will just know from where this whole thing happens and how you are related to that, how that is related to you, how the whole can exist and coexist in the space of completion.
If you entertain the thought current of, ' What happens after death?' you will develop a strong nervous system.
Suddenly the fear about death will disappear, and the mysteries of death will be revealed in front of you.
You will simply know the whole thing, and you are experientially liberated from the fear of death, and any powerlessness related to death.
Each thought current is experiential. Each thought current, will transform not just, your psychology, but also your very biology.
The very YOU in your muscle memory and bio-memory. Each of these thought currents, when you entertain them, when you cherish them, when you celebrate them, your very biology changes.
If you create suffering for yourself with your confusion, wrong analysis, and depression, and pick up any of the thought currents you will be free from your depression.
The Thought Current For Seeking The Source
Somebody asked me, 'Human beings are just developed monkeys, but how are we able to perceive so much about the universe, planets, and space? How we are able to understand so much about all this? Why are other animals, even the closest version of us, chimpanzees, not able to catch, and understand things about the Universe.
Why are human beings able to understand, perceive, and even manipulate, as we want?
Already we have space stations, some of the asteroids coming towards planet earth we can blast it or redirect it from there itself. Already we are able to manipulate movements in space. How?'
Only human beings started asking the question, by whom? The first thought current: Who am I? The second thought current: What happens after death? The third thought current: What is the source of all this? What happens after death? These thought currents were kept alive in humanity.
If you go thinking and contemplating, you will awaken the thought current of seeking which gives you experiences,
When you develop a thought current it may give you thousands of experiences,. The thought current will upgrade the very way you exist. It is like taking vitamins and proteins. The very way you work out and exercise will be upgraded.
Sitting and contemplating on them. Spending time with the thought currents. Not just mechanically memorizing or mechanically The thought current of death, you should sit and romance with it. When you romance with death, He doesn't appear with the big moustache, He comes with a clean-shaven face as Shiva. He is no more here to take away things from you, He is here to just upgrade your very frequency.
Death is the greatest giver, because he has stolen so much from all others. Death is the richest fellow, because he has stolen so much from so many people! His treasury is too big, much bigger than Kuberas (Lord of wealth). Because he has stolen even from Kubera! Kubera is also under Death.
Your inner chattering itself will be transformed into a long beautiful seeking and prayer.
For the whole day what is the thought current with which you are romancing, that will be the frequency of you.
If you are romancing with the thought current of worrying, naturally you will attract worry. If you are romancing with the thought current of spiritual truths, your very frequency will be different.
When you become more and more unconscious, you need to be controlled with dos and don'ts. Don't stoop to that level where I have to give you do's and don'ts. If you make me give do's and don'ts that is the worst disrespect you can do to me. If you make me give you only the thought currents, that is the greatest worship you can do to me.
If you make me only give thought currents, you are treating me as a Guru. If you force me to give do's and don'ts you are making me as your boss, manager. I am not interested in becoming boss or big boss. I am very happy with this seat of Guru.
Seek the source of the whole. Keep that thought current alive in you. Romance with that thought current, don't memorize it or repeat it. I am not asking you to think, contemplate, and meditate on this thought current. I am asking you to romance with this thought current: What is it? What must be the Source?
Not just because I said, but sincerely trying to catch the answer.
Until that experience comes, continue your journey of romancing with these thought currents. Romancing with the different thought currents raises your frequency of Existence.
Seeking: Wake Up To Your Reality
Seeking is the way God in you wakes up. In the early morning sometimes you yourself will feel that you are dreaming. That is the way you wake up.
Seeking is the way you wake up to your reality. Don't fall asleep, don't turn away when the seeking is awakened in you. After remembering you are dreaming, you just pull your blanket and turn and sleep, how stupid you are.
In the same way, after just having seeking, after smelling seeking in your life, after tasting seeking in your life, if you just turn, and lose that intensity in seeking that is the most stupid thing that can happen to you in your life.
Anything can be lost, but not seeking. Anything can be lost, but you can get it back. Money can be lost, but you can get it back in twenty-four hours. Health can be lost, but you can get it back in a few weeks.
Character can be lost, but you can get it back immediately. Body can be lost and immediately you can have another one, because billions of bodies are there on the planet earth.
Mind can be lost immediately, but you can make another one.
Anything can be lost, but you can get it back. Not seeking, because seeking is not something to do with the mind, it is something to do with your very Consciousness.
Seeking is the love letter from your beloved who is living in your heart forever. If you miss that, you may have to wait forever and ever to get the second letter.
Seeking is a message from your Beloved who is residing in your heart forever.
Constantly keeping your inner quest alive, keeping the basic questions alive, until they become experiential answers, not intellectual, but experiential answers.
What am I doing? Everyday what am I doing? What I am doing is it exactly moving me, pushing me towards where I am supposed to reach? Where am I going? Where am I heading?
Only with the Seeking if you function, you will be fuelled from the right Source. Your fear should not fuel you. Your greed should not fuel you. You should not work out of fear and greed. That does not mean you should not work.
Drop the fear and greed, not the work. Seeking should be the energy source. If you make the seeking as the energy source from morning till night for your thinking and planning, even in the night you won't fall asleep. You will only fall into the space of Turiya [fourth state of consciousness] and wake up.
Part 4: The Book of Seeking_English_part_4.md
What Is The Right Path For You
When you are initiated there is only one path for you. Now you need only perseverance in that path. But from an enlightened beings side, I can't say there is only one path. There are millions of paths.
The big confusion is sometimes the individual seeker thinks there are millions of paths, and he starts jumping here and there, and without perseverance on one path, he starts jumping here and there. So he never achieves, he loses. That should not happen.
On the other end the Master tries to tell you there is only one path, nothing else. Then the whole follower group becomes fanatic. That is the other danger.
Only by understanding can you can avoid both dangers. From your side you should know there is only one path, from my side I should tell you there are millions of paths. The truth is there are millions of paths, but the fact for you is there is only one path.
The path which you are initiated or pick up, is the only path for you. Go with it. But the expounder cannot
Say There Is Nothing Else.
Expounder should know the truth: there are millions of paths. Expounder cannot even justify saying that 'oh, if I say there are millions of path, disciples don't have perseverance on one path they are initiated, they jump here and there.'
It is your responsibility to make the disciple understand there are millions of paths, but forget about all others, and pick up this one and practice. If he has given that understanding to the disciples, they will travel in their path, but they will know very clearly there are other paths also. Knowing there are some more paths may help the disciple not be fanatic or terrorist or violent towards others. I cannot go and kill somebody who is travelling in some other path.
Teachings are given for different spectrums of consciousness. For example the man who has never started even the good actions, he should be taught good actions, but that is not the ultimate. He needs to know that you need to go beyond even good actions. Good and bad need to be crossed.
For the seeker who has practised meditation, the Guru may give the initiation of unclothing from all actions.
So the disciple will follow one path that they have chosen or been initiated by the Guru, yet at the same time understand that there are many paths.
Vi. Obstacles To Seeking
When you are resonating with Existence, you will not seek greedily. Simply Existence will give you what you need at that moment, even before you seek it. This is what I meant when I say: Whatever you seek, you will find.
Obstacles To Seeking
Whether you are an initial level seeker or an advanced level seeker there are some obstacles that you will face on the path of seeking.
For an initial level seeker, the biggest problem is boredom, due to which you don't break whenever you hit the block, you just develop a 'don't care attitude' towards your ignorance.
As an advanced seeker, you try to behave without taking the responsibility of Enlightenment, all the powers of Enlightenment. I have so many people who are waiting to grab the powers of Enlightenment without taking the responsibility of Enlightenment, and without having the experience of Enlightenment.
Understand, Enlightenment is not expertise, it is experience. People start thinking, if they learn how I behave, how I live, and expertise my behaviour, they can become enlightened or they can show themselves as enlightened. Enlightenment comes as an experience, not out of being an expertise. It is not from expertise, it is from experience.
The second level of obstacles as an advanced seeker are more dangerous. You start behaving almost like you are enlightened, but with incomplete knowledge, and without the experience.
The definition of an Enlightened Being is that His level of seeking will be totally different from your level, but He will continue to be seeking, because seeking is the only way He will be alive, that's the only way He even makes you u nderstand that He is alive, that's the only qualification of His Existence.
You can prove that you are alive by so many things: eating a sweet, having physical pleasures, etc. Through all of this you can prove that you are alive to yourself and to others.
But an Enlightened Being is alive only in His seeking, that is the only way He reminds Himself that He is alive, and He proves that He is alive to others. To that level, His very core will be seeking!
Keep The Seeking Alive
Once you connect with the experience of spiritual seeking, you will never be bored. Boredom will not exist as a concept. Seeking means foveae exploring new horizons.
The most difficult work on planet earth for a spiritual teacher is to keep the seeking alive in people. God assumes a human body specifically for this task of keeping the thirst for discovery alive in human beings.
The Divine has five functions on the human sphere: creation, maintenance, destruction, and putting people into maya (illusion), and liberating them.
The first four, the Divine does not need to make any effort. He as Lord Narayana, the Hindu deity who dreams the world into being, can just lie down in a lying posture and be in the state of yoga nidra (yogic sleep), and yet there four things will happen.
He as Lord Shiva, the Rejuvenatory, can be in a Samadhi at Mount Kailash or he can be in yoga nidra in Vaikuntha; no problem, yet there four things will happen.
But to keep the seeking alive in human beings, the Divine has to assume a human body. This is the most difficult work on the planet. God has to go through an entire birth and lifetime just to maintain inspiration in people. That in itself is a full occupation, without even expanding His effort to giving enlightenment.
Be Ferocious
How to awaken the true purpose and highest potential?
When you are ferocious to challenge anything which says, 'it won't change,' that ferociousness to change everything is what I call SEEKING.
Ferociousness to change everything is Seeking. Be a Kalabhairava, a Kali to your very life. Be Sadashiva to your very Life.
Create what you want to, maintain what you want to, destroy what you want to, hide and put it into illusion what you want to, and grace and give your blessings to what you want to. Be Sadashiva for your life. That is awakening to your true purpose and highest potential.
Breaking everything that can be broken or can't be broken in you, is Awakening. Whatever you can break in you, you break it, whatever I can break in you, I break it, that is Inner Awakening. Whatever can be changed inside you by your ferociousness is Awakening; whatever can be changed inside you by my ferociousness is Inner Awakening.
Seek The Truth With Love And Patience
Constantly keeping your seeking alive makes you grasp the Truth. What is the difference between grabbing the truth, and grasping the truth.
For example, when you see somebody melting down, overflowing, with that melting devotion, offer a Bilva leaf to Mahadeva and become liberated, you also decide, 'Yes, if I offer the same leaf to Mahadeva I will also have liberation.' That is what is grabbing the Truth.
Understand, you are not grasping it, you are grabbing it. You only see the action. You don't see the context.
You see the Rishis sitting in Padmasana (lotus) posture and chanting, 'AUUUMMM' and getting enlightened. Immediately you also think, let me sit and do 'AUUUMMM.' That is only grabbing the Truth, not grasping.
Grasping means understanding the context. All the problems everyone faces in their life is trying to grab not to grasp. If you try to grasp the Truth, you will have the approach of
love towards the Truth.
Don't have the approach of result towards the Truth. 'Alright, this is what I want. I will have to sit to chant "AUM". Ok I will do. How many hours do I have to do it?' It is not a bank account. Twenty thousand times you have to chant, 'Shiva, Shiva,' and put it in the bank account, and Mahadeva has to appear and give you, what you want.
No, most of the time you try only to grab the truth. You are asking to be given a set of rules and standard instructions. I will do that. If I can't what should I do, what about plan B and plan C.
The Religions which tries to cater to your mind, which grabs the Truth, which does not have patience to grasp, they will only give you a set of rules.
For grasping the Truth you need a completely different space where tremendous seeking becomes the first priority. When you are trying to grasp the Truth, you will look in, 'Wow! How can this simple act he goes and plucks one Bilva leaf from a tree, and offers it on to a statue, how can such a simple act liberate him? Why is he so blissful? Why is he in ecstasy?' If you approach the happening with tremendous love, you will grasp the Truth.
You will understand something more than the action is happening.
He is having a different context, altogether. He is having some higher possibilities opening up to him. The body may be doing the simple action of plucking a leaf and putting it on the deity, but the context behind the action is something different. You will understand that.
Only when you approach the happening with tremendous love can you grasp it. If you try to put everything in a frame and come to a conclusion, you will only try to grab it.
That is why one of the great Masters of the modern day Unjaji Maharaj, a disciple of Bhagawan Ramana Maharshi says, 'I neither have a Guru nor have a disciple.' He never accepted anybody as a disciple formally.
Some of his disciples asked him, 'You say Enlightened Beings don't have karma, what about your body movements and all that.' Unjaji says, 'who says I'm moving, I'm not.' They said, 'No, you are talking to us.'
He says, 'No, because you expect I should be talking, you get the response I'm talking. Otherwise I am not doing anything.' He disowns the responsibility of the very action
he is doing, by that very action. By talking he declares he is not talking, and he is true.
Because whatever agitation needs to happen in you to talk, is not happening in him. So if you approach his talking from the context of love and understanding, trying to grasp what is happening, you will understand he is not talking.
If you approach a Master without patience, trying to frame Him into your mould, your frame, trying to grab Him as you want, you will say, 'What is there, he is also doing everything like me.' You will only be grabbing the Truth. You won't be grasping.
Approaching the world, approaching God, approaching Guru, and approaching yourself with tremendous love and patience and the context of grasping the Truth is Seeking. Approaching everything with tremendous love and patience from the context of knowing the Truth, wanting to know the Truth is grasping, is seeking.
If you are approaching the Truth with the mood of grabbing, framing it, and making it as a utility value, you are trying to make a frame out of life. Soon you will be tired and bored.
Approaching God, Guru, Life, yourself, everything with tremendous love and patience to know the context, to grasp the Truth about it, is seeking.
Try to grasp what it is wit the world, don't try to frame it. Don't try to relate with it with agitation. With God, approach it with tremendous love and patience. Don't enter into Him with the fear or a greed or agitated mood. To Guru, try to approach with tremendous patience and love. Try to grasp what IS, not try to grab or put Him in a frame as you want.
And even about yourself, try to approach with tremendous patience. What you need to achieve, what you want to do, what your plans and visions are, when are they becoming real day by day, when are you realizing them day by day, celebrate it. Approach yourself with tremendous love, patience, not with agitation taking yourself for granted.
Again and again understand the context and try to grasp the subtlest Truth of everything, is Seeking. Seeking means approaching everything with tremendous love and patience and try to grasp the Truth and the context,
not grab, without cognizing the subtle Truth.
Develop seeking, keep your seeking alive. Reinvent yourself with your seeking. Re-strategize yourself with seeking.
Dangers Of Seeking
There are two concepts you need to understand. One, those who worship ignorance, the initial level seekers who get into a kind of a tiredness, boredom, unable to move further, and don't care attitude about ignorance. This is one group.
There is another group, the little advanced level seekers. After a certain amount of time, when you spent time with certain concepts and don't align your life to those concepts, you will feel acquaintance with that concepts intellectually, but not experientially.
Familiarity always breeds contempt. Even with the idea you are consciousness, if you never made it as part of your cognition, you never transformed your Life, you never aligned your life to that truth, then slowly, slowly, slowly, you think what you living, what you are doing is much better than a common man.
So with this justification, the worship of imperfect knowledge, the incomplete knowledge, starts happening in you. The danger is by now, you know how to manipulate others, how to be a half-guru, all your neighborhood gurus are formed like this only.
Each neighborhood will have one guru, in Bharat, each street will have one Jagat guru. You can ask him, 'why are you calling yourself as Jagat Guru?' 'No, I have one disciple I have named as Jagat, so I am Guru of Jagat so I am Jagat Guru.'
All your neighborhood Gurus are in this space, in this mood. The impure perception of Truth, Consciousness, and incomplete knowledge is the problem of advanced seekers. It is more dangerous than the initial level problem of initial level seekers, which is the 'don't care attitude' towards ignorance, or tiredness and boredom.
The advanced level seekers who worship knowledge that is incomplete, they won't have tiredness or boredom, they will be very active, but in the wrong direction. Enjoy knowledge for the sake of knowledge, celebrate knowledge for the sake of knowledge, celebrate power and energy for the sake of power and energy. Don't use power to manipulate others, don't use knowledge to make money.
I am not saying don't accept salary for your contribution. I am not saying don't earn for your livelihood. All I am saying, mentally don't have the disease of equating your knowledge to wealth. It is a mental disorder.
Don'T Stop Seeking
Do not stop seeking. Anything can be given up, but not seeking!
I am defining Enlightenment. A Enlightened being is a person whose mind has disappeared so He constantly goes through new, new experiences, and expanding, continuously seeking.
I am using the word 'seeking.' Seeking in this context means: in who the capacity not to seek has disappeared is an Enlightened Being.
In you, there is still a part of your mind which can put you into boredom or tiredness. You can stop seeking at one day, that is why you are still a seeker. If your seeking becomes eternal, and there is no part of your mind that exists to make you bored or tired, then it becomes sure you will be seeker forever, you are an Enlightened Being.
Enlightened beings become one with the Cosmos, that is the ultimate experience, but not final. Because the Ultimate itself is constantly alive, not carved in stone! The ultimate is a powerful happening. It is a constant happening!
Every time I fall into Samadhi, I just know I am pregnant with billions of planets. When I say I am pregnant with billions of planets, this means I am constantly delivering, delivering, delivering. Swallowing billions and delivering billions. Infinity!
Cosmos, is a happening. It is not a dead state. It is alive, living, happening!
Even all Enlightened Beings continues to seek. An Enlightened Beings' seeking means continuous expansion. So even if Enlightened Beings are expanding, seeking, and happening, then you should be seeking. Kill all the parts of you trying to become stagnant!
Any stagnation is disease. If you are able to bend the body to 40 degrees, make it at least 41 degrees the next day. Don't stagnate. If the mind is able to understand some concepts for only five minutes, make it at least into six minutes the next day. Killing all parts of stagnation in you by the constant inspiration and excitement is seeking.
I am defining seeking. Above anything, if you are seeking something in the outer world, you will have the gifts of that world:
luxury, comfort, name and fame, whatever comes from society. But if you are seeking from the death, you will get what you are seeking.
Understand, seeking should become your very being. Constantly looking for Reality. Don't allow any stagnation. If somebody is stuck, that is hell, the most cursed space.
Being stagnant, stuck, is worshipping ignorance. Whether trying to understand the good, bad, right, wrong, the laws of the Universe, the laws with which your self functions, or laws with which life happens, go on seeking it.
You will never get an answer, but you are not supposed to stop seeking, because the reward for your seeking is experience, not answer.
If something is told to your very being, it is experience. If experience is limited to your logic, it is answer. Response from the Cosmos to your seeking, if it is limited to your logic, the Cosmos will reply to your logic, it is answer. If your seeking is from the depths of your being, Cosmos will reply to your very being, that is called Experience.
Thousands of My experiences came to Me just by My seeking, not practice. Let Me put it out in the open: I never did any practice. Let Me be very clear: I never did any practice in My Life!
I teach meditation to millions, but I never sat with closed eyes to meditate. I know, it is very difficult for you to believe. We have so many photos of me meditating. But I never sat for meditation. I always searched for 'what is' at that time. Sometimes the eyes would automatically be closed.
When I was sitting to seek, to search, the eyes would automatically close. So for those moments you can call it as meditation. But I am telling you, I always was in search with My whole being. I was seeking with My whole being. So all the responses to Me came from the Cosmos to My whole being, which was experience.
Never, ever, did I do any spiritual practice or meditation separately. All My experiences were gifts to Me as a response to My seeking. I am telling you, if you need to do something, you just need to sharpen your seeking. Blessed are those who have seeking in life! Some of the best people whom I love are all sincere seekers, still.
Just like money, wealth, car, and luxury can make you forget your seeking for a time being, even Sangha, the coziness, the love of the Master or the position in the Sangha, even that can sometimes make you forget your seeking.
Whoever continues to keep his seeking alive, even basking in the glory and My love, I continue to love them. My love comes to you as a gift if you continue to seek, it will continued to be showered on you.
At any cost, don't stop seeking! The moment you stop seeking, you start worshipping ignorance.
Throw A Tantrum At The Cosmos
Whatever is become stagnant in you, becomes pain, never suffering.
I will tell you the difference between pain and suffering: the exact actual happening of your life is a suffering which never makes you stagnant. But constantly remembering you had suffering and making yourself painful makes you stagnant. A remembrance which puts you into emotional turmoil, that makes you stagnant.
Do not allow any form of stagnation in your life, for any reason. I am not here just to make you guys as a good human. No! I am here to make you guys as super human! It is a possibility! Being human is great, human values are great, no doubt, but don't say that itself is super. No!
If you say that is super, you are a duper. Don't try to kill the mystical possibilities, the super human possibilities, of traditional Hinduism!
I wanted all of you to do a lot of service, charity, and be good, but don't stop there. When will you stop?
Become Shiva. It is only after you become Shiva,
But you can't stop! I am sitting in such restful awareness, don't think I stopped! You can sit in restful awareness in your flight seat, but you have not stopped. You can run as fast as you can in a stagnant bullock cart, you are not moving anywhere. More than what you are doing, where you are matters for your life progress.
You can be doing all types of kriyas, yoga, pranayamas, sitting inside a bullock cart, where the bullock is not even tied, but you are not going to go anywhere.
You can be as restless as possible, a s active as possible, you can be as pulling and pushing as much as possible, but you will be only in one place.
You can be lying, resting, after sipping a cup of juice, but if you are lying in the flight, you are moving, you are flying! My sangha is a flight! What you do does not matter; where you are matters! The human possibilities does not stop with human values.
Seek about everything, you have a right! You have a right to question the whole Cosmos!
I am giving you a simple secret: if you have stomach pain, don't try to think, 'Why is there stomach pain? What did I eat, is it indigestion or gastric? What is the reason?' Don't think that way. Try to ask, 'Why, first of all, this very habit of eating and digesting?'
Start questioning the roots, you will be declared as a rebellion by the Cosmos. All your needs will be met. If a child cries loud they get the attention first! If you think, ' I should do this pranayama, that yoga, take this herb for my stomach pain.' Yes, you may get your stomach pain cured, but you will have a headache tomorrow.
Question the very root. Always go to the extreme of questioning. When you question the very root, 'Why this question of eating, digesting, and getting energy from food?' When you go to this extreme, you will be the child crying louder. The cosmos will reply to you, not only get to get rid of the pain, but get power to become a Nirahari (to live without food and water)!
The child who cries louder not only gets the candy, but the keys to the store room. Whenever you feel, you can go eat, don't cry,
and don't create a mess!
Learn how to throw a tantrum with the Cosmos. Question the very root, the very source. Why do we have this body which has a possibility for disease? Why? So let your whys go to the depths.
Just one child, Naciketa throwing a tantrum, caused Yama Deva (God of death) to sit and obey Naciketa! Learn how to throw a tantrum with the cosmos, because you have a right over it! Cosmos cannot just brush you aside, push you aside, saying, 'you throw a tantrum, I will do my job.'
Seeking is nothing but your ability to throw a tantrum and get the attention of the Cosmic Mother. Don't be arrogant out of your seeking. When you are seeking, arrogance will not even happen.
When you stop seeking, you settle down for just a little happiness, charity, being good, little love, and compassion. All of these are great, but not greatest.
Experience the depths of your being, awaken the Shiva in you. Be a seeker and feel blessed you have a Guru who constantly deepens your seeking. A Guru who never just puts you in some social charity and makes you forget your seeking.
Even my charity work is based on seeking, making more and more seekers. I do charity only in that line!
Stop the worship of ignorance, never stop your seeking for any reason. Let your seeking continue. Keep your seeking alive!
Nothing should stop your seeking. Not your wealth, name and fame, even your good charitable activities should not stop your seeking or make you worshipper of ignorance!
Facing Difficulties
A person who is seeking, should be put through all possible difficulties. When you are interested in something then you should be put in all possible difficulties. Then automatically the taking it for granted will not happen whether it is money, knowledge or enlightenment.
When there is no difficulty outside, the mind creates it inside. When you conquer difficulties outside, you cross the strong engram inside.
Constantly be in crisis, or create one, or come to me, I will constantly put you in crisis! Go on attending and solving the crisis.
In Tamil there is a proverb, which one Sadhu used to constantly repeat to me, eternally you should be in crisis, so you will live forever.
Constantly facing difficult moments, conquering the outer situations, not only do you come out of the outer world problems, many patterns inside you breaks.
If you are not taking responsibility and living, the patterns inside you will not break. All those patterns will be there just fresh.
Patterns will be broken only when you handle outer world situations.
Vii. Seeking And Enlightenment
Time and again great Masters have told us that the Truth is within us. But we are always seeking the Truth outside.
Seeking Awakens Your Dna
Intense seeking in itself awakens at least four to five strands of DNA. You do not need any spiritual practice, just intense seeking is enough.
It is like one seed becoming four or five apples, like one stem cell becoming two or three cells. In just that way, one multiplies into many. Intense seeking suddenly makes this apple grow into three or four apples.
So slowly the identity which you are showing becomes a superficial small part of you. It is no longer half of you, it separates from you, and it becomes just a thin veneer at the surface of you.
Look within and see, 'Who am I?' The personality which can be changed is not you. Then dig, 'Who am I?'
When you are hitting a wall or you have a sense of suffocation, increase the seeking with intensity and passion, and look again. Look within, over and over again till you awaken the next strand of DNA.
Many people become discouraged when they lost their inspiration. But here is an encouraging thought for us to remember. Whenever we feel the seeking has dried up in us, we should not be downcast.
The sense of dryness means that the next strand of DNA is awakening. It is actually a sign of progress.
Usually after five or six strands of DNA are awakened, the next activation will not be painful. That is what is called enlightenment. But until the first six strands of DNA are active, every strand we awaken will give us doubts.
We will always look back, wondering whether we are on the proper path. The sense of separating from out old ways will be painful and pressured. After the sixth strand, the transition ceased to be painful. It becomes a smooth process.
One strand is always awakened the moment we take birth. The second will be awakened the moment we begin seeking. From the second to the sixth is the period of enlightenment.
The sixth to twelfth is the period of incarnation. By the time the twelfth is awakened, you are an incarnation. After the twelfth is awakened there are hundreds of new layers opening up.
That is what purnavatara (complete incarnation) means: many different truths and teachings are constantly being revealed to the world, constantly being shared to the world.
Create Subtle Grooves In Your Brain
Enquiring into you is Seeking. Enquiring into the source is seeking the very source.
An ignorant, tired, agitated, and dull head can never capture the subtle truths or the subtle qualities. Because he cannot imagine, he won't enjoy; because he doesn't enjoy, he can't visualize.
The brain's ability to catch the subtlest visualizations, come by a long practice of internal silence, what I call Unclutching or meditation. By the tremendous internal silence, your brain develops the capacity to capture the most subtlest visualizations.
The ability to capture the most subtle visualizations is the awakened Intelligence. Whoever is able to capture the subtlest truths becomes a Rishis (sage or saint).
A Rishis' brain has evolved and developed such subtle grooves, it starts reflecting the Cosmic Truths. It starts capturing the Cosmic Truths. It starts becoming a pure and silent water pond, where the Moon is reflecting, as if it has come down to planet Earth.
Practicing surrender or unclutching or completion, it raises the subtlety of your brain grooves,
and your brain's ability to capture the higher truths.
Your brain's ability to live the higher truths. Anything your brain is able to capture, it stores as a record.
The more subtle truths your brain is able to capture, the more it becomes part of your cognition and life's goal. Even once if you are able to understand, the word SACHIDĀNANDA – SAT-CIT ANANDA – Existence, Conscious, and Bliss, this will become the base for your function.
For example, when I explain the science of materialization, if you can visualize it, that power will start manifesting in you. This is because anything your brain can visualize, it will make that as your basic function.
If I can explain moving from one body to another body, Astral travel – and your brain is subtle enough to capture it, and visualize it, you will start manifesting that power. All powers are like this only. You just need the completion space and Guru who properly makes your brain grooves to catch it.
Anything your brain can capture and enjoy, your life will make that into reality. If your brain can capture and enjoy the
most subtlest understandings of Cosmic sacred secrets, and spiritual powers, you will just become a Yogi.
The ability to reflect the subtlest truths, the ability to reflect the sacred understandings, the ability to catch the most sacred bliss, the ability to capture the powerfulness of consciousness, the ability to look into the source of the cosmos, happens with tremendous completion and peace in the inner space.
Seek the source, the cosmos. by developing subtle grooves of the brain by evolving complete completion.
Awaken The Kundalini Energy And Seeking
When your kundalini energy is awakened, you will feel tremendous seeking in your bio- memory. Suddenly you will see the earlier cognitions that you built about you, everything will collapse like a Hindi movie climax.
How in the Hollywood and Bollywood in the movie climaxes at least two or three buildings collapse or cars explode, only then the climax happens.
How those buildings collapse, your earlier cognitions will also collapse, not for bad, but for good. This is because the right expansive cognitions will start happening in you.
Your old cognitions will explode and collapse, and the new will start happening. New cannot be exploded or collapsed, because it will be like stone. The first thing that will happen in your bio-memory is: seeking exploding in your muscle memory.
So much energy will happen. Suddenly you will see, that tiredness disappears, you will have so much energy to live your day to day life. You will live with so much joy.
Aligning your every breath to these basic truths. Integrating your every breath to these basic truths. Integrating you is seeking.
Integrating yourself to all these spiritual truths is Seeking. Integrating yourself to the answers received from the Masters is Living Enlightenment. Integrating yourself to the truth: He is the source of questions and the answers is Surrender.
Constant Prayer For Enlightenment
Praying for Enlightenment is the greatest thing that can happen. Intensely seeking enlightenment, praying for enlightenment will make your routine become more integrated.
Laziness will never be part of you, boredom will never be part of you. Laziness and boredom means that you do not want to hold onto what is life for you, and what life holds for you.
If you want to destroy somebody, just teach them laziness. Make them lazy. You will destroy them. Laziness and boredom, these two grows in you, when you do not remember the purpose of your existence.
Seeking and praying for enlightenment, these two make you reinvent yourself and awakens you. Seeking the truths of life and praying for enlightenment, these two kindles the whole Fire in you.
If you have a wheezing problem a stomach problem, any issue related to gas and water,
just pray for Enlightenment and you will be healed.
This is because when you pray for enlightenment the fire in your body will be kindled intensely. You will be immediately healed, because the fire in your body if it is kindled, the whole system will go through a re-invention of itself.
Every time you pray for Enlightenment, the fire in your system will be rudely awakened. If you daydream, just pray for Enlightenment, this problem will be solved, because the daydreaming will drop.
When the daydreaming drops the night dreaming will drop, you will become so alive.
Constantly pray for Enlightenment to the Cosmic energy. Constantly praying intensely awakens the joy, and the fire energy in you and keeps it alive. That is the main thing that makes you reinvent yourself.
Pray intensely, constantly for Enlightenment with the context even when you are praying you are He.
Mahadeva'S Rahesya (Secret)
'The moment the bell is ringing in your heart, He called. Don't think you are calling. He called. Answer it!. Knowing this Mahadeva's (Shiva) Rahesya – seeking itself is a signal that He wants to manifest through you.
You can go on believing your self doubt, self hatred, and self denial or believe the secret I am revealing now. The moment what I am saying clicks with you the seeking in me is the signal You have a secret crush on me.
It is Sada Shiva's secret crush on you, that manifests as seeking in you.
'Sada Shivoham (I am Shiva)' is too powerful a gift for ordinary people to experience. Your seeking is the clear note Sada Shiva has a secret crush on you. Proceed with courage. I am the ambassador.
The moment seeking starts, He is calling. Don't be fool to think He needs something from you. No! He just needs you, not something through you. He just needs you.
Understand, He is waiting to manifest Himself through you,
to expand through you - the you in Him to experience the He in you.
The truth 'Sohamasmi' declared by Ishavasyopanishad – 'Sohamasmi'. He is waiting to explode. The truth is waiting to explode, possess you, and fill you. It is waiting to over flow in you. He is not a jealous god. He is a joyful God.
If you have seeking it is coming from outside, because you have no outgoing facility. You can only pick up the call. Only Sada Shiva can pick up the call. Declare with all your will, deeper and deeper, greater and greater, 'Sada Shivoham! Sada Shivoham! Sada Shivoham (I am Shiva, I am Shiva)!'
With this declaration, how ever much it is filled with self doubt, self hatred, and self denial, He doesn't care. Sada Shiva comes closer and closer to you every time you declare, "I am Shiva.' With this understanding, when you declare 'SadaShivoham!' you become part of His secret life.
If your eyes are carrying deep yearning and seeking, I guarantee you, His eyes have to carry that same seeking for you! You are not some poor seeker, you are Amrtasya putraha. You are born from His very DNA!
When you want Him, He has to want you. When this truth doesn't click with you then you can keep being part of His public life, which means bhakti (devotion) and doing sadhana (spiritual practices).
Knowing, 'I know when I want you, You only want me too. You only put the seed of me wanting You.' Catch the joy of this secret in your heart.
The moment you catch that secret of the secrets and declare, 'Shivoham, Sada Shivoham, I am He, He is Me, He is waiting for my yes, and I am waiting for His yes, Why are we waiting when we both want each other?' when we know this and declare 'Shivoham' and become part of His secret life.
Viii. Questions And Answers On Seeking
Every day we are seeking. Seeking is a fire of the soul, the un-dying ember in our heart that keeps us alive.
Questions And Answers
Question 1: In one lifetime does a seeker encounter many Masters till liberation, or even many lifetimes with the same Master?
Answer: Till you reach your Guru who is holding the key for your liberation, who is going to liberate you, you will meet many Masters in one lifetime. Once you meet your Guru, even if you take many lifetimes to become enlightened, He will be the same Master coming in your life again and again.
Till you meet Guru, your own Master, a seeker encounters many Masters in their life. Once you encounter your own Master, it's the same Master, even if you take as many lives as possible after that to achieve enlightenment.
Question 2:
Is it right to renounce the family members like father, mother, husband, wife and children for the sake of our own spiritual practices?
Answer: As per the cosmic law no husband, no father, no mother, no wife, no children exist.
Everybody gives birth as the flow of their life. The very idea even the mother and father is created by human beings. It is neither attested, nor accepted, in the cosmic law. Spiritual practice is the first priority for any human being. Spiritual enlightenment is the first truth for any human being. Evolving in the right direction with the right spiritual guidance is the first priority in your life. Let that not be sacrificed for anything. In the same way, do not use spirituality t o escape from your social responsibilities. If it is honest spiritual seeking and spiritual practice, nothing should come in the way. Anything that comes in the way can be sacrificed.
Question 3: What Is Missing In Hinduism?
Answer:
Whatever you think as best, and you found as the best in your life, share that with the world. If you are a seeker, enlightenment is the best thing you found in your life, share that with the world. You will have enlightenment only when you give. Seekers even if you do social service in an ordinary sense, you are cheating the world. You are hiding the important thing with you, and giving only the small things to the world. A seeker should give the science of enlightenment to the world. That is the biggest gift.
Question 4: Is Yatra (spiritual pilgrimage) important for a spiritual seeker?
Yatra, spiritual pilgrimage, is such an important dimension for every spiritual seeker. Getting out of the place where you are living, where your identity is living, and where people perceive you in their own way, gives you the freedom to be out of your identity. When you go to these high energy centers like Kailash, not only is your old identities removed, the possibility for the growth of the new consciousness happens, especially with an enlightened being. He will properly use that situation to create an identity crisis in you to clear your old identity, and create a complete new inner space in you.
Ix. My Experiences
When you understand that you don't have to seek and that you only have to live, and experience the Truth that is inside, the Truth will start revealing itself to you in every passing moment.
My Enlightenment Experience
It is truth that Consciousness moves, and at the same time the truth that Consciousness does not move. It is truth that Consciousness is far off from the farthest space, and at the same time the truth that Consciousness is also nearer than the nearest space.
It is the truth that the inner space is of the whole Cosmos, and the same time it is also the truth that the outer space is of the whole Cosmos. Pervading an uniformly ever present inside and encompassing this Cosmos from the outside.
What is that, that makes you perceive something as moving, and something as unmoving? What is that, that makes you perceive something as near, and something as far off? What is that, that makes you perceive something as inside you, and something as outside you?
I am going to explain my enlightenment experience.
When I twelve years old twelve, as usual, I went to sit on a rock in my native town of Thiruvannamalai. I was just casually sitting there.
Whenever I find time, I will go and spend time in that space in that area, because Devi (consort of Shiva) became enlightened there.
My guru, Vibhootanandapuri always used to tell me, 'This is Devi's energy field.' That place is called Pavizha Kundru (coral hill). So I always used to go and sit there. I was sitting on a rock.
To tell you honestly, I was not even doing some serious meditation. I can say, in a way, the whole ambience was so calm, so beautiful. I decided to close my eyes. Once I closed the eyes, the intensity of my yearning started taking over me. The intensity to realize myself, my true nature, started possessing me.
All of you know how fear takes over you and greed takes over you. When fear takes over you, when you have a panic attack, you just do things for which you always feel guilty and shy later on. You repent for it. You don't know why you did it.
In the same way, when lust takes over you, when greed takes over you, you do things which you can never logically justify even to yourself.
But, when authenticity takes over you,
it will be ten thousand times more intense than fear taking over or greed taking over.
It will be ten thousand times more intense and powerful. When fear takes over you it is called 'panic attack.' When greed takes over you it is called 'restlessness.' When authenticity takes over you it is called 'Satori!'
My sincere seeking overpowered me! That is the right word I should use. I just felt, 'What is it that I am seeking? Who is that me who is seeking? Who is that me that is deeply discontented about anything I see and hear? Who is that who is deeply discontented even about my own existence?'
All of you have discontentment about your own existence, but you never look into why, what and who is having that discontentment. The person for whom the question has become the first and top priority, he is a seeker.
It was such strong taking over. That is the right word I will use – taking over. When the whole being took over, 'Who am I that is experiencing this deep discontentment and suffocation?' I can see very clearly, that heaviness just went into the depths of the Consciousness. Suddenly, in one moment, the first thing that happened is, the idea of inside and outside broke.
The inner and outer space broke. The first experience is that I was able to see
everything around me, above me, the whole 360 degrees, in all ten directions, below me, and everything! I realized not only was I able to see, I was able to feel and experience!
I felt that the skin of the stone, on rock on which I was sitting, and the skin of this body, both carry me equally, in both I exist equally! The air, the breeze, the setting sun, the rising moon, and the whole Arunachala Hill, all the plants, bush, shrubs, trees, everything just became so alive!
The idea something is inside and something is outside was completely lost! First I was able to see all ten directions, in 360 degrees. The next moment itself, I realized, not only am I able to see, I am able to experience all of that as me! I didn't feel vulnerable. I felt powerful.
So powerful! I just know I am that oneness with Existence! There is no inner and there is no outer. There is no moving and there is no unmoving. The smallest movements of these plants is my movement, and the highest stillness of the centre of the Cosmos is my stillness.
Moves and moves not, what you call as near, and what you call as far off, those concepts were lost. What you call as inner space (inside you), and outer space (outside you), the ideas were forgotten. The Inner Image, drank the Life Image,
ate the Outer Image, and dancing on Others' Image!
This means there is no gaps between images. There was no imagination. It was such that the ignorance melted down!
Whenever you look inside you, that immature you, that Inner Image constantly asks for security, the beggar who slips like a soap on the bath tub. If you drop the soap in the bath tub, how it just slips from your hand everywhere, in the same way the Inner Image will be slipping from your hand everywhere, whenever you try to look in and catch. But after a few minutes that soap will just melt, and become one with the water.
In the same way, even if you are not able to catch that Inner Image, if you are just running behind it in few minutes it will disappear, it will not be there. That is why the seeking gives you the experience of liberation.
Every time you catch the soap and it escapes from you, one layer is peeled off. The next time when you catch it, and it escapes from your hand, another layer is pulled off. After a few times, the soap is not there.
You need to find out: What is that makes you experience inside and outside separately? What is that makes you experience what moves and moves not separately?
What is that, that makes you experience something as far off and something as near?
Complete with that and you will experience it! Till then, it will only be the intellectual jugglery.
Duration
As much time as needed.
Instructions
Sit and contemplate, what is the meaning of 'That moves, and That does not Move? What should be that? What is it that moves and does not move?' What is it that is far off, and That is also near.'
How can something be far off and be near?
What is the inner space of all this. What is also the outer space of all this!
If you just intranalyze, understand this one verse, you will become ENLIGHTENED!
Sit and intranalyze: What is it that moves, and that does not move? What is it that is far off, and that is also near?
Shiva is introducing Himself. He is not just giving you his visiting card. He is just describing Himself! Contemplate on it! Contemplate on it! Contemplate on it!
He is the inner space of all this. He is also the outer space of all this.
Master Key To Seeking
Once I went and told my Guru, Mata Vibhudananda Puri Devi, 'you are telling me that I am beyond the life and death.' She read out Ribhu Gita to me that day, and explained some of the great truths in Ribhu Gita. The next day I went and told her, 'you explained, but I am afraid whether I will enter into that space at all, how to enter into that space?'
She said, 'just entertain this desire to experience that space so strongly, the fear whether you will experience or not will break. That is the moment you will experience that Space.'
She said, 'seeking is powerful enough to merge the seeker into THAT which is sought after.' She said beautifully, 'What you are seeking, entertain that. That is intelligent enough to break the fear whether you will achieve it or not, and make you enter into that space which you are seeking.'
It was such powerful click for me. This is the key I used to experience everything described in Agama, Tantra, Vedanta and Yoga. This is the Master key. There are few Master keys that I received from my Masters, which I used in millions of places and realized the Truths.
One more Master key, I received with Ramsurat Kumar, a great Yogi. I was sitting next to him, it was two-o-clock in the cremation ground, Amaavasya (moonless night) there was a sound of some dog barking or something in the cremation ground in one corner.
I asked him slowly, 'Swamiji everyone always talks about this ghost, bhuta or preta, are you not afraid of it? How are you handling it? What mantra are you doing to protect you from that bhuta or preta?'
He laughed and just slapped me. He has the habit, whenever he gets excited he will just slap people.
He slapped me and said, 'Aye fool, you and everything outside me, all these are my projections. Me and everything outside you, is all your projections, even we are the projection of each other, then how can any ghost come without me projecting it outside!'
He said beautifully, 'even things which you are seeing in front of you is your projection, then unless you project how can a ghost or bhuta or preta can come?'
He said beautifully, 'even you are my projection, unless I project, how can bhuta, preta, or pisacha
come separately.' It is all our projections.
The moment he said that, it just clicked with me, like a Master click, a Master key. So from that time onwards when anybody speaks about bhuta, I only apply this. Then maybe in six months the very idea of bhuta, preta, or pisacha, disappeared from me.
Since it clicked so strongly with me, 'arey, even the people whom you are seeing, even the things you are experiencing in this world is your projection, even this is your projection. If you see a bhuta, preta, pisacha or ghost or anything that is also your own projection. The moment you remember it is your own projection, they will disappear.' It was such a strong click in me.
If something clicks with you the moment your Master utters, your heart is waiting for that truth. Your being was waiting for that truth.
When Vibhudananda Puri explained about the seeking, 'aye, don't worry just keep the seeking. Seeking is powerful enough to make the seeker to merge with what is sought after. So you don't need to have something else, or you don't need to worry, or entertain any other fear, you will achieve what you are seeking?'
it was such a powerful click for me.
I think the right word was told to me by the right person when I was in the right temperature. It straight away entered into my system.
After that, in any of the spiritual practices, there was nothing called impossibility or obstruction or obstacle. Vibhudananda Puri will tell me, 'okay, chant this mantra and realize Bhuvaneshwari.' I will not even have a second thought, 'if I just chant this mantra, will I have darshan of Bhuvaneshwari? How can it be?'
I will not even have that thought. Even if that thought comes, I will tell myself, 'hey, Mataji told me, 'my power of seeking, the seeking is powerful enough to make me experience the space I am seeking. So then I am seeking to experience Devi Bhuvaneshwari, and here is the mantra, this is powerful enough to make me experience the space of Bhuvaneshwari. I don't need to worry whether I will have her darshan or not, experience her or not, come on let me sit.'
Because of this confidence and energy, and intensity, simply I was mastering different methodologies, techniques, yoga, pranayama, kriya, everything she was teaching me. I was just mastering, because that click became my bio-memory.
To give me this click that your seeking is capable of making you to experience what you are seeking, she worked with me for at least three to four years. But once that clicked happened, she did not need to work to make me realize every component of sadhana, every component of spiritual practice, every technique, every tantra, every Agama, and every spiritual process.
She did not need three years. The first breakthrough reduced the amount of time she needed to spend with me to open up certain powers or certain techniques or certain methodology.
Your seeking is complete and powerful enough to put you in the space you are seeking, without any assistance, external help or other support. The space of impossibility will disappear from you.
The idea that it may work out for me, the impossibility of whether it is going to happen for me or not, that idea broke. When that idea is taken away, so much of excitement and joy happens. The very path that you are travelling will become short.
The path is only long only when you create hurdles by yourself. The path is always short when you create only excitement. Out of the food you ate,
if you produce only energy, life is always exciting. But if you start producing gas, life is always tiring.
In the same way, out of your thought current, if you produce only energy and excitement, sadhana is always great, exciting, and beautiful. But out of the same thought current, if you produce again and again, impossibilities (self doubt, self hatred, and self denial) spiritual practice is tiresome.
Who knows what is happening? Who knows what is true? What is wrong, what is right? Will I have it, will I get it?
Maybe it worked for him in those days when his body was without toxins, now who knows, my body is full of toxins and will this same process work for me. You will have one thousand questions, to make you strongly believe: it is not possible at least for you.
This one click has to happen inside you: your seeking is powerful enough to make you experience the space you are seeking. Because of that confidence, you will simply start realizing every technique given to you without killing them.
The moment you decide 'impossible', the seed is burnt, the seed I put inside you,
that is burnt. It can never sprout again.
The moment you decide, 'No question of impossibility. My seeking is powerful enough to make me experience the space I am seeking without any external support, without any intelligence input, I neither need intel help or mental help, and I can achieve it.'
This one click will make your sadhana exciting, inspiring, and no impossibilities. I tell you at least one thousand techniques I would have practiced and realized it's conclusion and completion, just because of this one key.
Even if I was practising the most difficult spiritual sadhana, if that doubt came, I knew immediately this key will come up. This click was enough all the impossibilities would just disappear.
If this one truth clicks with you, you don't need to have any other worry in life. Consider yourself already liberated and enlightened. This one click is so powerful it can destroy any obstacle cooked up by you or put inside you.
Technique: Experience The Space Of Seeking
DURATION As much time as needed.
INSTRUCTIONS Your seeking is powerful enough to make you reach whatever you are seeking, independent of any external help. Your seeking is powerful enough to make you experience the space you are seeking.
Meditate on this, just mediate on this one truth. If this one truth clicks with you, that is enough. Just this one truth has to strongly click with you.
Your seeking is capable enough of making you experience the space you are seeking, without any external help, assistance or input, just its own intelligence.
If this one truth clicks with you, that is enough, I can lead you into what Shiva is, living in pure Advaita (oneness).
Now your decision to seek, is going to make you experience all of this.
Seeking - My Experience
At the age of six, my Guru asked me, 'Do you want to become Sannyasi (monk) or Grihasta (householder)?' I stood up and said, 'Sannyasi!' I still remember, I just stood up, because I didn't want him, even for one moment, to take the decision of Grihasta (householder). I stood up and said, 'Sannyasi,' with such force and power.
And then he touched my head and did something. Then after two to three days, I asked, 'Did you purify my brain to live a Sannyas life?' He said, 'no, no, no. I just increased the frequency of seeking, that is all.'
Then I asked him,
'What do you mean by increasing the frequency of seeking?' He said, 'Just seeking gets powerful, that is enough, all the moral, discipline, values, and everything will become automatically your body language. You will become your muscle memory and bio-memory.'
Anybody even struggling with brahmacarya, please be very clear your seeking is not intense. Whether you are struggling with aparigraha or brahmacarya or asteya, any vows you are struggling with, or you are struggling with integrity, inauthenticity, irresponsibility, or selfishness, it just boils down to only one thing:
not having enough seeking.
Just increase the intensity of your seeking.
Experimenting With The Truths
At the age of ten I was already an advanced spiritual seeker, clear about who I was and my path in life. In the late 1980s when other young boys around the world spent their time playing games, listening to music, or playing soccer or football, I was already an advanced yogic practitioner, enamoured with temples, fierce and intense about his spiritual interests and practices.
I lived in a small temple town called Thiruvannamalai in Tamil Nadu, south Bharat; a town renowned for having an unbroken lineage of enlightened masters.
I had many teachers from a young age, and at the age of ten I had been seeking the company of a great master, Annamalai Swamigal, a direct disciple of Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi.
One day I heard Annamalai Swamigal say to a group of seekers, 'We are not the body. We are beyond suffering and pain.'
These words struck a chord in me Even though I was such a young boy,
I took these words to heart and analyzed them to see if they applied to me. I thought in my life I had experienced pain and suffering – physical pains and mental pains.
I began wondering how one can go beyond suffering when it was clear that pain and suffering existed even in my own life.
I thought, 'If my mother beats me, I have pain. If my teacher shouts at me, I have suffering. How can Annamalai Swamigal say that we are beyond pain and suffering?' I was not able to understand.
Two words that best describe a seeker are sincerity and intensity. I wanted to find out for myself if the statement made by Annamalai Swamigal was true.
I had experienced pain and suffering and now was being told that I was beyond it. So I decided to experiment on my own body to know the truth! Out of my innocent but passionate seeking, I ran home, took my mother's kitchen knife and cut my right thigh to see if I really experienced pain or not.
I made a deep cut into my own body to see if there was pain. Of course, there was pain
and my mother took me to the hospital for care. The doctor gave me first aid and stitched my wound. I could not understand.
After a few days, I went back to Annamalai Swamigal and asked him, 'What is this? What have you taught me? You said we have no pain and suffering. I cut myself and now I have pain. I have suffering.' It was a very deep cut with stitches.
To go back to Annamalai Swamigal and challenge, to continue to try to find the answer at age ten shows how intense the seeking and desire to find the truth was in me.
Annamalai Swamigal just smiled at me and said, 'My son, just try to find the source from where you are feeling the pain, the point where you are feeling this pain. Try to find the source. Do this meditation.'
I was not immediately convinced. I had experienced pain even though I was told I was beyond pain. So I told Annamalai Swamigal, 'It's alright. You have given me a blessing or an initiation or some meditation. That's okay. But you could have done this before I cut my thigh! You could have done this earlier. Why did you make me cut my thigh and then talk all these things?'
Annamalai Swamigal said, 'Don't bother bother about the pain, my son. You had the courage to experiment with the truth. That itself will liberate you.'
This incident became a big inspiration for me. I got the click that the courage to experiment was beyond all pain. From that point on, I used that one incident to guide my life and actions. I played with the technique again and again, just sitting and observing where the pain was coming from, where was the 'I' that was feeling the pain, and trying to find the source of the Self.
I can say I did not even meditate, I simply played with the technique. Because I had the courage to directly test the concepts of pain and suffering, I went beyond the illusion of thoughts into the source of thoughts. I was able to see beyond pain and not bother about it anymore.
After this incident, Annamalai Swamigal became my inspiration and scale for everything. For every situation, I would ask, 'How would Annamalai Swamigal behave? Let me behave like that'.
Iused the technique for anything from fear to arguments with my brothers, saying, 'How would Annamalai Swamigal handle it? He wouldn't bother. Let me also not bother!'
If I felt a little lazy to meditate or to walk, I would think, 'How Annamalai Swamigal would handle it? Naturally he won't bother about laziness. He would get up and meditate; so do that, that's all!'
And so I would just get up, sit and meditate.
The connection with the master went so deep that if any thought came up inside, I would ask myself: 'How would Annamalai Swamigal respond? He will not even have this thought! Then it is not mine either. Over!'
What started as a truth told by Annamalai Swamigal to me became an experiment with the truth inside myself. I was ripe for my first enlightenment experience which happened at the age of twelve on the sacred Arunachala hill.

Whoever keeps seeking as their first priority in life, will achieve Me.
Unclutching: The Process For A Seeker
The process I am offering to all of you to find the answers for the basic questions of life: What is life, What for life, is Unclutching!
This word 'Unclutching,' is the Ultimate Spiritual Truth! This process, Unclutching, can directly upgrade your very consciousness! When you upgrade your consciousness, and raise your inner space, you become more authentic, and hundreds of good side effects happen to you.
These side effects include you becoming healthy, you becoming wealthy, you becoming a leader, you becoming more intelligent, you becoming more balanced, and thousands of things happen in you, as a side effect of upgrading of your consciousness.
Understand these three words, then you will be able to catch truth of Unclutching: Clutching, Disclutching, Unclutching.
Clutching means holding and getting attached. Disclutching means completely getting disconnected, breaking. Unclutching means moving back to clutch anytime when it is needed.
When you shift your gears you need to unclutch. Disclutching won't work. Disclutching means it can break. Even if the gearbox breaks, the gears break, if the shaft breaks, disclutching can happen. But after disclutching the possibility for clutching again may not exist.
Here with unclutching, you move out. But you unite again whenever required. Continuously you are clutched to your body, to your mind, to your emotions, and with so many things. Now I can say even with your Facebook identity, twitter identity, even with your Twitter name you identify yourself, clutch yourself with.
The ideas your mind creates, the idea of joy, idea of pain, idea of pleasure, with so many things you clutch! Unclutching, even if it is practiced sincerely in a very small way, brings so much of awakening in you.
What is Unclutching? When a thought raises in you, without supporting it, encouraging it, entertaining it or being entertained by it, relaxing from it.
If you start relaxing from the thoughts which are raising in you, you will experience freedom from the identity which you created. Experiencing freedom from the identity
you created means healing thousands of wounds you are carrying inside.
Constantly you create shaft of thoughts, with thoughts of pain, joy, and pleasure.
The center of each block is an independent thought. First you have pain, then joy, then joy and pain mixed; then pain, then joy, pain and joy mixed, then pain, joy and pain mixed all kinds of a different thoughts! In the center, each block is considered as one thought.
Each block is one thought. By putting all these blocks continuously you create a shaft. You can name that shaft as mind, or ego or identity, whatever you want to call it.
Your inner shaft, your mind, is made up of many independent thoughts. But unfortunately you don't have awareness to look at your mind as it is. Buddha says very beautifully, 'original mind is Nirvana!' Mind as it happens is already unclutched!
But unfortunately you pick up from the independent thoughts and create your own short view about yourself,
and a very narrow idea about your life. You don't look at your mind as it is happening, you don't look at your life as it is happening. You either try to believe your whole life was pain or sometimes you try to believe your whole life was joy.
Unfortunately, every human being tries to develop an idea about their past as pain or pleasure. When you talk to others, you try to create a shaft. Sometimes if you are in the sad mood, you say from birth I was abused. You tell all your stories, continuously you connect the pain memories, the pain thoughts and feel your life as pain.
One of the biggest danger in life is when you believe something, and repeat it again and again, that becomes your reality. That is why again and again I am insisting, don't repeat your life as a pain. Don't write your biography as a long pain shaft.
Because if you repeat your life as a long pain shaft, you will project the same pain shaft on the future also. When you look deep, you will see each pain you claimed happened in your life, is an individual incident!
When you connect all of them and see, you create tremendous suffering for yourself. Stop connecting and creating that shaft. Stop continuously creating pain shaft or pleasure shaft in your life.
Unclutching is a powerful, self-sufficient guide to your enlightenment, to upgrade your consciousness.
Unclutching not only changes the way you perceive the reality, it transforms the reality itself! Because it is a very powerful process that touches the source where the perceiver and perceived both come out.
There are many methods and techniques which only work on the seer not the scene. Unclutching is the technique which works on the source from which the seer and the scene both come out.
Unclutching is the ultimate meditation technique. It can directly upgrade your consciousness. The purpose of human life is to upgrade your consciousness.
Temples, rituals, religions, and sacred books is just for upgrading your consciousness, raising your consciousness.
The very reason of your existence of your human body is to raise your consciousness. See when your consciousness raises, automatically you become the leader of your life, the lord of your life. You become God for yourself.
Whether you are a beginner or professional seeker
or about to get enlightened, unclutching is a complete technique for you.
If you have problems related to your health, unclutch! If you have problems related to your wealth, unclutch! If you have problems related to your mind and mental health, unclutch!
If you have problems related to your relationships, unclutch! If you have problems related to your emotions, unclutch! If you have problems related to your consciousness, unclutch!
I will give you nine different levels of Unclutching.
First, unclutch from the outer world. Problems related to name, fame, and money. You will lose the problems, suffocations, stress, and sufferings created in you, because of money, name, and fame. When the problems, suffocations, and stress is removed, suddenly you will have a pure inner space where you can create whatever you want in the outer world.
The biggest asset any human being can have is a free inner space, extra inner space! Whenever I give energy darshan (initiation) to people, I just give them a few hundred more acres of inner space.
Extra inner space is the ultimate wealth! Wealth is not the billions of dollars you have, or the relationships you have or the bungalows or properties you have. The real wealth is the extra inner space you have.
The space you have inside, the free space where you can do your creativity, you can do your creation. The extra free inner space is the real wealth.
When you unclutch from the difficulties, stress, sufferings, and suffocation created by money, name and fame, you achieve the ultimate wealth, the extra free inner space!
Second, unclutch from the outer world identities, the identities you carry: social identity, professional identity, racial identity, and national identity.
Sometimes you think you identify yourself based on your religion, on your country, on your race, on your cast, on your community, and on your creed. The moment you feel you belong to certain geography, you are ready to sacrifice your life for that geography.
People die in the war fields, and without any guilt, without even a second thought, people kill people just because of their national identity. Most uncivilized act is killing people, because of your racial and national identity. It so unfortunate that still human beings have not evolved from the low consciousness of killing people and destroying people, because of racial and national identity.
Unclutch from social, professional, racial, and national identities, you will see so much of peace, joy, and bliss happening in you. Universal intelligence awakens in you the moment you unclutch from the low level identities.
Third, unclutch from your thoughts, your verbalizations, and your visualizations happening inside. When you look in, the verbalizations and the visualizations happening in you are all your thoughts. Unclutch from both!
Continuously try to unclutch from both. You will see extraordinary powers expressing in you, when you start unclutching from verbalizations and visualizations. You will become a Yogi! Living as a Yogi is Life!
Unclutch from verbalizations and visualizations whenever you remember it happening in you.
Even boredom and restlessness is also one more thought, one more verbalization, and one more visualization. Unclutch even from that!
Fourth, unclutch from your emotions, pain and pleasure. Body which does not give you pain, friend who does not give you doubt, and wife who does not give you instability, are all rare blessings!
Body which does not give you pain, is such a joy to live with that body! I know I don't have pain, because I received the blessings of many Yogis, and did many techniques, but when you see that literally in your life as experience, what an achievement!
When you unclutch from pain and pleasure, not only are you free from it, even your health improves drastically.
Fifth, unclutch from your inner world identities such as parental conditioning, ahamkara (the idea you project about yourself to others), and mamakara (the idea you believe about you as you inside you).
The idea you project to others about you will be more than what you are. Mamakara, the idea you believe about you in the inner self, will always be lower than you.
Your whole life is nothing, but the fight between the ahamkara and mamakara. Unclutch from the identity you project to the outer world, and unclutch from the identity you believe as you in the inner world.
Sixth, unclutch from the bio-memories, the patterns you are carrying: patterns of depression, patterns of pain, patterns of irritation, patterns of suffering, and patterns of your own ideas.
You need to realize the Truth, you are not even an orphan! Orphan means that you are alone and everybody else is your enemy. Here you don't need to realize that you are alone, there is no enemy.
If you are alone, how can there be an enemy? Only if somebody else is there can there be enemies! If you unclutch from the patterns to the extent that you realize there is no patterns in reality, you are alone. In reality you are just existing!
Seventh, unclutch from the body itself! When you unclutch from your body, thousands of disorders you created by yourself like arthritis, blood pressure, etc. will all disappear.
Eighth, unclutch from the idea of time. Unclutch from day, night, morning, evening, and midnight. Time is the greatest myth you are carrying in your life. It is the worst conditioning you are carrying.
Actually there is no such thing as time. Sun rises and sets. Moon rises and sets. Stars move, planet moves, and life moves. That is all!
Where is Time? You raise, live, and disappear. Time is one of the myth like clothes. You forget human body does not come with clothes. How many of you remember?
I tell you, none of us remember human body comes to planet earth without clothes, and goes out without clothes. We think human body comes with clothes and goes with clothes.
Just like a cloth, time is an illusion which has become part of your bio-memory. Time is an Illusion which has become part of your very consciousness itself! So unclutch from the idea of Time!
Ultimately ninth unclutch from the very idea 'I'. In every level of unclutching, in every aspect of unclutching, you will experience some new free dimension of you. You will experience some extraordinary experiences or expressions. All the auspicious things of life and beyond life is achieved just by this one process: unclutching!
The very idea 'I' is the source of everything you experience and you perceive.
Unclutching from that very source, the idea of 'I'.
You can start in these nine levels at any one level. The benefits and experiences you will have, simply you will move to next level and experience all nine levels!
Just like the nine levels of unclutching, I wanted to introduce three kinds of unclutching!
First, unclutch from the luxury activities, activities that may not be required for your life, which you do as a luxury, such as playing video games.
Second, unclutch from the existential activities. Activities needed for your existence such as going to your office, and your profession.
When I say unclutch, I don't mean you will stop those activities. Your body will be performing those activities, the sufferings and the stress caused by those activities will not be there in your body, in your being!
Third, unclutch from the survival activities. Activities such as food, eating, and sleeping. When you unclutch from the survival activities, you will live in an unclutched space. I am not saying that you will stop eating and you will stop drinking water. Your body may continue the activities necessary for survival.
Unclutching is the greatest life solution. Unclutching liberates you from all types of addictions. Unclutching is the most simple and ultimate technique.
How ever much you hear about unclutching, unless you experience it, you will not know it. In the beginning unclutch at least twenty minutes a day.
You will see unclutching helps you so much, it frees you from so many sufferings. It makes you matured in so many ways. It upgrades your consciousness so much, you will start spending more and more time in an unclutched space. Ultimately your whole life will be in unclutched space!
Unclutching makes you a leader, because when you unclench trillions of cells in your brain are awakened.
Your highest inner potential energy, dormant cosmic energy, awakens to its peak. Unclutching is Inner Awakening! Unclutching is 'Samaadhi'! Unclutching is Meditation! Unclutching is God itself!
Technique: Unclutching
ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE When you are unclutch, you save yourself from thousands of problems, and self-created sufferings.
When you Unclutch, you are neither violent towards yourself nor violent towards others. When you are not violent towards yourself, you bring peace and bliss to you. When you are not violent towards others you don't commit any crimes.
When you nclutch, you bring the best things to your life, and you bring the best things to your country, you bring the best things to your society, you bring the best things to the whole humanity. So I invite all of you to meditate, unclutch, and save the planet Earth!
DURATION As much time as needed.
Instructions

Without creating, maintaining or destroying a thought, just sit. When you don't do the job of creation, maintenance and destruction, you become one with Existence!
Just sit in a relaxed way, close your eyes. Unclutch from every thought. Don't miss a single thought in your inner space. Don't be unconscious.
Unclutch from every thought. When a thought raises in you, just decide I am not going to support it or encourage it, I will just unclutch from it. I will just distance myself from it.
Just a simple will, I will unclutch is enough, the thought will lose power over you. After a few seconds again some other thought may come. Unclutch from that thought also.
Slowly, slowly, after few minutes, except for the thought of unclutching nothing else will be there.
Unclutch from that thought also. Unclutch even from the technique of unclutching! Unclutch from everything. Just be Unclutched!
If you are a beginner, spend at least twenty minutes a day in unclutching. If you have already tasted unclutching, intensify the quality of unclutching, and increase the time of unclutching in your life.
Completion: The Life Of A Seeker
The patterns you created, the incompletions you accumulated, the engrams you engraved for for ages, from time immemorial, you will at least need one birth to complete them. One birth to be free of them.
Whatever is said and done, when there is some other priority in your life, completion doesn't happen to the level of completing with completion itself.
There are various levels of completion. If you have a good relationship with others, you think that is completion. That is only one level of completion. Often people get settled with that level of completion. People think that is enough for life to go on.
Not having a disease is not enough healthy. Not having a disease may be one step of health, but a yogic body is far away from this negative health.
In the same way, not having mental chaos and confusion does not mean you have achieved the ultimate. Not having fights in the house does not mean you have really completed.
So the level of completion to run your life smoothly, is not just having a good relationship, and a friendly atmosphere.
That alone is not the ultimate peak possibility of human life.
Completion should happen in your being to the level of completing with the very incompletion which started the life and death cycle in you, the birth and death cycle in you. The birth and death cycle itself started in you due to some incompletion. Go to that level and complete.
You have three layers of Karma: The brought karma is 'Prarabdha Karma.' Accumulated karma is 'Agamya Karma. Reserve Karma is 'Sanchita Karma.'
The brought karma is the karma brought to this life to be enjoyed and completed in this body is 'Prarabdha.' The karmas you accumulated and incompletions you accumulated after you assumed this body in this life is 'Agamya.' The reserve karma is 'Sanchita.'
Usually if you complete with Agamya karmas you will get satisfaction. Seekers go a little deeper than Agamya karma, and complete with Prarabdha karma also.
Only when you complete with Sanchita karma you will be liberated from the cycle of birth and death. Just having good relationships, good health, and good mental wellness may not be completion.
Having completion as the first priority is not my goal. Having completion as the only priority is the goal of human life.
Having completion in your list of things to do, which every one of you put on your refrigerator: things to do – laundry, shopping, pick up the kid, drop daughter at dance school, and completion also if time. This is the life of a human being.
Completion as the first priority is the life of a seeker. Completion as the one and only priority is the life of a Sannyasi.
Technique: Identify Your Patterns
ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE Below is the process in which you can identify your major patterns.
DURATION As much time as needed.
INSTRUCTIONS
Think of a recent conflict or a time when you felt powerless, or when you felt your energy was down or when you felt depressed or felt fear or anger.
Now visualize that event vividly as if it is happening right now and relive the situation. Recall what was said, how you felt, everything you can visualize of that event.
Identify three things in the conflict:
· Mamakara – what you think you are inside at that moment. It is the image you carry for yourself; what you felt as you at that moment. For example: I am a loser, I always let my parents down, etc.
· Ahankara – what you project to others as you: the way you react, your body language, your actions, and the statements you gave about yourself to others at that time. For example: I project friendliness even when I feel I am a loser.
· Swa-anyakara – what you cognize as Life at those moments. What is it that you felt life was for you at that moment? For example: life is humiliating me, because people are laughing at me at that time.
When you identify these three statements, you will see that they have been there inside you during many situations in your life before.
These statements are only the branches. They are the sign of the pattern that exists deep inside you. The root is hidden from your own view due to your current cognition. But we can start with cutting off the branches.
Technique: Complete With Your Patterns
ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE The next step is the process of self-completion – swapoornatva kriya. The purpose of self-completion is to make you whole or complete. When you are complete, you will feel light as if the heaviness inside you is lifted. You will also feel energized and feel your inner space expanding.
When you are incomplete or not whole, you will feel powerless, upset, lifeless, and have low energy.
DURATION As much time as needed.
INSTRUCTIONS Have a medium-sized mirror in which you can see your face comfortably. You are going to have a conversation with yourself!
With the mirror in front of you, sit in a relaxed way and cognize that you committed for completion to happen. The complete part of you is holding the mirror. The incomplete person is the image in the mirror.
Look at the image in the mirror and bring up the situation again that caused you conflict. Listen intently to what the incomplete person in the mirror has to say to you about the conflict.
Keep listening till there is nothing else the incomplete person has to say.
Now, as the complete person, say to the incomplete person in the mirror, 'that you heard what has been said, and that the incomplete person was functioning from a cognition that was created in the past, and that it is not the cognition you now have as a complete person'.
Say to your mirror-image, 'that you are functioning from this new cognition, and that you will not be functioning from the old cognition you had at that time'.
Heal the incomplete person in the mirror completely. Tears may come and/or laughter may come. Allow both to happen.
On completion, you will feel a lightness, an expansion or a deep feeling of relief or a sigh. You may have sudden clarity about other past events, which are based on the same pattern you were dealing with
During The Completion Process.
Repeat the same process for any other major pattern you want to complete with.
Go on completing every day if needed. This technique is especially useful when done at night before sleep where you can review your conflicts or patterns or actions for that day!

THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM ("SPH"), Jagatguru Mahasannidhanam ("JGM"), His Divine Holiness ("HDH") Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam, is recognized as the 1008th living incarnation of Paramashiva as per Sanatana Hindu Dharma ("Hinduism") and by His predecessors of enlightened masters and adepts.
The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam is reviving Hinduism as the 1008th Acharya Mahamandaleshwar (the head for all spiritual leaders) of Atal Akhada (ancient apex body of Hinduism), coronated as Mahamandaleshwar (Supreme Spiritual Head) of Maha Nirvani Akhada (largest apex monastic order) and the youngest Mahamandaleshwar, ordained as the 233rd Guru Mahasannidhanam (Pontiff) of Thondai Mandala Aadheenam, ordained as the 293rd Guru Mahasannidhanam (Pontiff) of Shyamalapeeta Sarvajnapeetam, ordained as the 23rd Guru Mahasannidhanam of Dharmamukthi Swargapuram Aadheenam, and coronated as the 203rd Emperor of Suryavamsa Surangi Samrajyam.
The Srimad Karana Agama, Purva bhaga, Patala 71, Sakalotpatti vidhi, Sloka 8 & 9 (Sacred Ancient Hindu scripture) declares:
इत्येवं नि ष्कळं प्रो क्तं परं भा वमि ति स्मृतम्।म् सृष्टि स्थं लो करक्षा र्थं लो कस्यो त्पत्ति का रणम्।। सा धका नां हि ता र्थं तु स्वेच्छया गृह्णते तनुः ।
In this way (Shiva) who is Nishkala - without any body and parts, who is the Ultimate Supreme Being, who is established in the Creation, who is the Cause of the creation of the Universe, assumes a body out of His Free Will for the protection of the Universe, and for the welfare of the Spiritual seekers and Devotees.
THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM is the reigning spiritual emperor of 17 ancient traditional Hindu kingdoms and the reviver of the most ancient, most peaceful, still-living and long-lasting demonstrable system that shows the possibility of peaceful co-existence amongst people. Following the coronation to establish KAILASA worldwide at the age of 16, for the past 27 years, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, as the face of the unified Hindus, has been single-handedly, tirelessly inspiring the dispossessed Hindu Diaspora to reclaim their Hindu centric freedom and stand unified for the centuries-old Hindu genocide.
The 1008th living incarnation of Paramaśiva, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM stands as the unifying force for the 2 billion born and practicing Hindu diaspora worldwide and established the Hindu State, KAILASA for the persecuted Hindus in over 100 countries.
THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM has made resolute efforts towards recognizing and legitimizing the Hindu genocide which has been receiving scant consideration by global leaders and international bodies, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM founded KAILASA Uniting Nations. For the past 27 years, this international body has been responsible in building relations, bridging dialogs, inspiring leaders, uniting nations towards acknowledging the Hindu policies which are universal, life positive as referenced from the ancient text of Hinduism. This is the 'ahimsa' (non-violent) way of bringing acknowledgment to the horrors of the Hindu genocide, the untold facts of the darkest act of mankind on Earth to the most contributing civilization - KAILASA.
KAILASA is an apolitical nation whose vision is enlightened living for all. Towards this goal, KAILASA is the only Hindu nation on planet Earth today bringing legitimacy to the principles of Hinduism. Social principles, economic principles, judicial principles, Hindu medical principles, and Hindu economic principles. KAILASA is THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM's response to humanity's global problems of poverty, hunger, illiteracy, disease, violence and global warming and the continuing ethnocide and genocide of over 80 million Hindus worldwide since 7 centuries.
Over the last 50 years, the effects of meditation and its significant impact on stress, crime rates, violence, political decision making and even war in local and global consciousness is well established. Unfortunately, in the last two hundred years, forcibly we are made to believe Hinduism is a functional principle only for enlightenment and spirituality. It is absolutely dysfunctional for the political, social, economical system. Making Hindu family structure, Hindu social structure dysfunctional is the greatest crime done against humanity.
Sanatana Hindu Dharma has faced both historical and ongoing religious persecution and systematic violence, in various forms including assassination attempts on living incarnations, targeted elimination of Hindu pontiffs through bio war and lawfare, cyberbullying, Hindu phobia, forced conversions, documented massacres, demolitions, desecration and grabbing of worship temples and monasteries, looting of Hindu temples properties, destruction of Hindu educational institutions, elimination of well known Hindu libraries, the gross violation to the freedom to practice the Hindu school of liberated thinking (Sankhya), Hindu schools of living enlightenment (Jeevan Mukthi), gross violations of the right to freedom of religion that includes violations of the right to life, personal Hindu integrity or personal Hindu liberty, mass execution, looting and enslavement.
Hinduism was once practiced freely in over 56 nations across the continent from Afghanistan, Bharat, Nepal, Burma, Sri Lanka, all the way to Singapore, Malaysia, and Cambodia and Indonesia, and in 200 states, 1700 samasthanas (provinces) and 10,000 sampradayas (traditions). Over several centuries the combined forces of foreign invasion, political upheaval, colonialism and religious persecution systematically ended millennia of Hindu Swarajya, or self-rule. Today Hindu temples remain in a few countries but the Hindus who worshiped in them have been ethnically cleansed.
The revival of Hinduism through the civilizational nation of KAILASA globally irked vested interests of atheistic terrorist militant elements, caste supremacist terrorists and other anti-Hindu forces who executed a massive persecution and genocide on SPH and His followers on 2 March 2010 that continued for the next whole decade and comprised of over 70 assassination attempts, over 250 sexual assaults on SPH and his monks and disciples, lawfare of 120 false cases over 10 years, massive hate propaganda in electronic media of over 14,000 hours and print media of over 25,000 articles in 5 years, destruction of heritage properties worth over 27 million USD, and the continuing ethnocide and genocide of over 80 million Hindus worldwide since 7 centuries. Specifically, the lawfare involved:
- Delegitimizing SPH by hate propaganda, disenfranchising Him of His civil and human rights, prejudicing Him from fair representation and fair trial
- Repeated illegal imprisonment, with brazen torture, custodial assassination attempts, supported by system justification in various forms, including the common processes of bureaucracy, indifference, self-deception, diffused responsibility and has resulted in continued systemic complicity with torture, murder and genocide
- Well-planned multi-layer false hate propaganda by the 'fourth estate' media sustained by moral disengagement, leaving the broader public in a state of willful ignorance, motivated denial, out-group victim-blaming, dehumanization and bystander apathy to even genocide.
THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM stands in solidarity with the untold, multi-level social, political, intellectual, religious, cultural, linguistic, economic, legal, digital persecution done to Hinduism and faced by Hindus and Hindu minorities worldwide for the past several thousands of years continues through the modern day. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM has been recently acknowledged by the United Nations for the persecution of The SPH and the KAILASA global community, especially the affected women and children.
The KAILASA with de facto spiritual embassies operating across over 100 countries and having presence across the globe as the largest spiritual knowledge source on Hinduism is spiritually governed with the life positive, all-inclusive, universal policies sourced from Hinduism revived by the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. Having enriched and enreached more than one billion individuals over the past 27 years the KAILASA raises the voice to protect Hindus, defend Hindus and preserve the Hindu narrative for the world.
