104. The Cosmos runs on Dharma🔗

There is a deep understanding which we need to have about wealth. Wealth that is created and maintained out of insecurity brings more and more bondage and fear. Wealth that is created out of overflowing energy and intelligence and clarity brings more and more freedom. So the basic attitude with which you start functioning is going to play decide whether you are going to be Kubera or Lakshmi.

The freedom and tremendous relaxation comes out of this one understanding: whatever I am worthy of will never be taken away from me, and whatever I am not worthy of, I will never be able to enjoy or live. This one understanding suddenly liberates you. Please understand, even if death comes, it cannot take away anything that you are worthy of. With this trust, the fear of death will simply disappear. What is fear of death? You are afraid that you have to leave behind whatever you have made for the last sixty- seventy years and go and start making it newly. That is the whole fear.

All your current relationships - you are comfortable with them, because at least they are known devil! Now you have to leave them and go and start afresh, and you are wondering, 'Who knows where I will be, and from where I have to start, and what kind of parents I will have, and what kind of wife I will have, and what kind of children I will have, and what kind of relationships I will attract!'

Relax! The cosmos runs based on Dharma. You are not an accident, you are a conscious incident. Whatever you carry - the intelligence, the energy, the relationships, the love, the wealth, the awareness, everything - stays with you even if you die. It is like one big bubble. You drop dead here and appear somewhere else, that's all. If you are able to internalize this one truth, you will be liberated from the fear of death this very moment. There is nothing to lose. There is no need to worry about the fear of the unknown. There is nothing unknown!

If you understand this one truth, you will really start working to alter your inner blueprint. Altering your inner blueprint is what I call 'unclutching' or spiritual practice or living enlightenment. This is what I call abhyasa, spiritual practice. Suddenly you know that altering your inner blueprint is much more important than anything else. That becomes your first priority. Because, if your blueprint is altered, you will start attracting the right things in this life, and even if you leave this life, in the next life you will constantly attract the right things to yourself.

Nowadays, wherever I go I am asked one question, 'What can be done to clear up the slums, Swamiji? How to eradicate poverty?' I tell them, 'The first thing that needs to be done is educating the people and clearing their inner blueprint of poverty. Unless the blueprint is cleared, even if they are given their homes or houses are built for them, they will end up renting or selling them and come back to their slum.' Unless conscious clarity starts happening, even if the wealth comes, you will not be happy or comfortable with it.

Please understand, you are carrying constant fear, constant insecurity. Wherever you are, you are carrying your hell within you. It is like carrying your own canopy with you when you go for a picnic. Wherever you decide, you stop and set up your canopy and sit inside it. Of course, you don't even have to set up your hell; it is already there! The constant fear and insecurity you carry can be healed this very moment if you internalize this one truth.

When you are marketing a product to others, it will usually be a mix of 80% marketing and 20% truth. If you are sharing it with your own family, it will be 80% truth and 20% marketing. If you are telling yourself, it will be 100% truth. This truth which I am sharing with you is the medicine I am swallowing myself! This is the truth I live.

In the Vedic tradition, one of the scales to find out whether something is the truth or not is this: if the person who is talking to you is a jnana purusha, an avatara purusha, who doesn't have any vested interest, whatever he says is accepted as truth. There are three scales to measure the truth: direct perception, inference and the words of an enlightened master, who doesn't have a vested interest to promote anything as the truth. When some truth comes out of such a person, it is called agama in our tradition.

Please understand, he may not have the logic or the right words to make you understand. Even for whatever I am saying, I don't have scientific data to prove that it is the truth. But just because I don't have scientific data, or just because it is beyond your logic, it does not mean it is not true. I have no vested interest in convincing you. No company is funding me and giving me a percentage on each person I liberate - a million dollars per liberated person!

So, from the state of agama I tell you - whatever you are worthy of can never be taken away from you, even by death.

An enlightened master doesn't have a vested interest to promote anything as the truth.
