84. Master challenges your unconsciousness🔗

You may feel that I am repeating the same Truth again and again and again. I have to - because Truth has to be repeated till you listen. It is challenge between your unconscious part and me. It is a fight between your unconscious part and me. Your conscious part actually wants to be around me, it feels connected. But your unconsciousness, your negative abhyasa, creates all kinds of apprehensions. So it is a big game between me and your negative abhyasa. Till the positive abhyasa, spiritual seeking, spiritual intensity, gets drilled into your body, I have to play this game, I have to play this game.

What does 'getting drilled' into your body mean? See, when you don't eat, your feel hungry. Your body gives you the signal. It is completely natural. Same way, if you move out of the jeevanmukti state, the state of living enlightenment, your body should feel, 'I want to come back.' It should become that physical. It should become part of your bio-memory. Till then, you need abhyasa. Till then, I'll continue to be with you. I'll have to continue to be with you, playing the game through my presence or my absence, through my presence or my absence.

People sometimes tell me, 'Swamiji, bless me that you will not leave me, even if I leave you!' Many times you would have seen this - if someone wants to move out the spiritual path, I send a message to them, directly or indirectly. 'Have a little patience to go through the process, try to be around me, it will do so many good things to you.' It means that that person would have prayed at some time of his or her life, it may be in this janma or in some earlier janma. ‘Even if I try to leave you, please don’t leave me, hold on to me.’ That intensity, that prayer, is what I answer when I extend my hand.

When you relax, be around me and sangha, it will do a big job inside you. I can say it is a ‘conscious cyclone’; whatever you think of as a big problem will just disappear into it. You will see that you are fresh, alive; your whole life is new in front of you. You have the guts, courage, energy, and a completely fresh being to live. You are ready for jeevanmukta life.

This mala, this bangle - all these things are for abhyasa only, so that you are constantly reminded to come back. It is not for fashion, it is not just one more ornament. If you are wearing the mala, remember that this body is supposed to live jeevanmukti. If you are wearing the bangle, remember that you have to constantly come back to the unclutched state. If you are wearing the bracelet with ‘Nithyanandam’ written on it, it means you have taken a vow that you will live in Nithyananda, in Eternal Bliss.

In India, earlier, nobody would wear the mala because everybody would ask, ‘What is this? Have you become a swami?’ Now it is a prestige! Now everyone is wearing them, because of prestige. Earlier, people were caught in fear, now caught in greed. Don’t wear it because of greed or fear. Wear it with the understanding that is useful for your life.

I have taken so much time to explain this one concept, so you should understand the importance of this one Truth. Whatever maybe your problem, this is the one solution, one master key - abhyasa.

Understand: abhyasa is the Truth you carry even after enlightenment. After enlightenment, abhyasa will be your breathing; your very inhaling and exhaling will be abhyasa. After enlightenment you don’t need to practice abhyasa; abhyasa will happen by itself. Till abhyasa happens by itself, keep practicing it. Keep practicing it till it happens!

CONTEMPLATION

Till the positive abhyasa, spiritual seeking, spiritual intensity, gets drilled into my body, the Master has to play the game.
