CHAPTER 6: ANANDAMAYA KOSHA🔗

The anandamaya kosha is not a sheath in the same sense as the other four koshas. It is the soul itself. It is a body of light. Experiencing this kosha is the whole purpose of this program. All the meditation we did till now are only cleansing processes for experiencing this anandamaya kosha.

There have been many enlightened masters from time immemorial. Each of them experienced the Truth in a different way and each of them expressed it in a different way. Each of them had their own set of teachings. If one of them said vegetarian food was good, another would say that it was alright to have non-vegetarian food! Ramakrishna Paramahamsa ate fish and fish is considered vegetarian in Bengal, where he lived. One master would say that you should not enter into marital life in order to get enlightened while another master would say that it was alright to be married, you could still attain enlightenment. A third master would say that you could have as many wives as you wished to! So the teachings were always never convergent. But on one point, all the masters concurred. On one point they all converged and that was the statement: 'Man as such is bliss!' All the masters have this statement as their foundation and it is upon this statement, that the rest of their teachings are built. This is the underlying statement: Man's inherent nature is bliss.

To understand this single statement, we need to understand a few basic truths about ourselves: we carry two identities in us always. One, the identity which we project to the outer world, how we want the world to know us, how we want to present ourselves to the world, how we want the world to remember us. We call this word ahankar. Second is the identity which we believe we are, inside our heart. This is what we call mamakar. So we have two identities - the identity which we project to the outer world and the identity which we believe we are inside ourselves - the ahankar and the mamakar.

Our entire life is nothing but a fight between the ahankar and the mamakar. There is a constant struggle between the identity which we want to project to the outer world and the identity which we believe we are inside us.

When we think that the identity which we want to project to the outer world is reality, we become materialistic. We then spend our whole lives in trying to fulfill that identity, to make that identity into reality, to make that personality into reality. In our day-to-day life, we can see the kinds of people who want to make the outer world identity into reality.

The second group of people who start believing that the identity which they believe inside them is real, only become a kind of a religion. They become yogis, constantly chiseling themselves, constantly trying to develop themselves.

Understand: the identity which you project to the outer world will always be much more than what you are. It will always be something more than what you are. You will always be projecting something more than what is. And the identity which you believe as yourself in the inner world will always be lower than what you are. You will always be continuously condemning, criticizing and judging yourself. It will always be much lower than what you are.

The group which believes in the identity which it projects to the outer world, the ahankar, will become materialistic. The other group that believes in mamakar, the identity which it believes as itself, becomes a kind of religious group like yogis - continuously chiseling themselves, continuously working on themselves, continuously trying to develop themselves.

Very few people realize the truth that neither the identity which you project to the outer world is reality, nor the identity which you believe within as yourself is reality. People who realize that both are not reality, that both have no base, only they experience true liberation. Only they realize their true blissful state which is beyond both ahankar and mamakar. We call them Paramahamsas.

Spirituality, the traditional knowledge, the research and development which went on in India for the last ten thousand years in the inner science is capable of contributing something more than just the feel-good feeling that we are all trying to achieve. At least for the last ten thousand years in India, the research in the Inner Science has been going on. Millions of inner world scientists - great rishis and masters, and at least one crore Inner Science laboratories - our temples and places of satsangs, have worked in the inner world to achieve the Truth.

In India, we have more than one crore living ashrams and temples, where this science is continuously practiced by at least one million people. So this great technology, this great tradition has something much deeper and much more sacred to offer to us. It has something much more for us, if only we understand it. We can enrich our lives in the ultimate way with it. We can easily experience our anandamaya kosha with it.

Understanding the ahankar is easy because it is something to do with the outer world. All you need to do is, come to a point where you yourself understand that you are struggling to maintain your ahankar or image with the outer world. That is enough, the job is done! The moment you realize you are unnecessarily struggling to maintain an image for the sake of the outer world, you will stop doing it! If you just sit for a few minutes and contemplate, 'I think what I am going to project is never going to be fulfilled or is never going to become reality', it is enough, the job is done. You can drop ahankar.

But if you start fighting with your mamakar, if you start chiseling your mamakar, if you start developing your mamakar, there is nobody to even tell you that you are caught in it because it is something happening within you. Trying to develop the identity which you show to the outer world, and trying to develop the identity which you believe as yourself, both will end only in deep suffering, because both have no base. Neither ahankar nor mamakar have a base. The moment you understand that these two don't have a base, that they do not have a hold over your inner space, then suddenly you will experience a great freedom, a great liberation, a deep restful awareness! This is the anandamaya kosha.

As J. Krishnamurthy calls it, it is called 'choiceless awareness'. That awareness is a real gift from our tradition, from our great Vedantic tradition. This awareness is the essence or the fruit of the research and development which went on in Inner Science for thousands of years.

So the first understanding is, both the identities which we carry don't have a base. They are not real. The second thing is, how to go beyond these two? It seems difficult because from the moment you come out of your sleep till the moment you fall into the dream state, these identities have a continuous hold over you. They have a say over you. They have an influence over your being. How to unclutch or detach from them? This is the word that we will be using again and again. We will be using the word 'unclutch' repeatedly for this kosha.

While driving a car, in order to change gears, you have to first press the clutch, come to neutral and then move to the next gear. In the same way, between any two thoughts there is silence, a neutral zone. When you move from one thought to the next, you will experience the neutral zone.

You have to disengage from the moving wheels before you change the gear, is it not? That is what is unclutching. You have to disengage from the moving thoughts, from the moving identities. Whether it is from the first gear to the second gear, or from the second gear to the third gear, or any movement, you have to completely declutch or unclutch from the movement first.

In the same way, any state you fall into, whether it is from the waking state to the dream state or from the dream state to the deep sleep state, any state that you move into within your inner space, you have to unclutch first. You have to first come to that zero zone. You have to come to that neutral zone. You have to come to the centre space.

The centre space is continuously happening in you without your involvement. If you can experience that centre space with your awareness, suddenly you will experience what I call ‘freedom’! What I mean when I say freedom is really freedom from these two main identities. You will experience a state beyond these two identities. Let me try to explain with a small example.

In North India, you might have seen in the forests how they hang a small stick between two trees in order to catch birds. The hunters use this trick to trap birds. The stick will hang between two trees in this fashion. You may wonder, how the bird will be caught by such a small thing. The bird will come and sit on one side of the twig. The moment it sits, because of its weight, the stick will turn over and become topsy-turvy, and the bird will hang upside down. The poor bird will not understand that if it lets go, it can simply fly! It will think that if it relaxes, it will fall and die, and so it will be continuously hanging on to it, for maybe even two to three hours. The hunter will come, slowly catch the bird, put it into the cage and go. Understand: just like this bird, we too have a great fear that the moment we let go of the ‘I’ and ‘Mine’, the ahankar and mamakar, we may become mentally imbalanced or we may not be able to run our day-to-day routine. This is the first fear. People always ask me, 'Swamiji, you ask us to relax from the two identities, the outer identity and the inner identity. If we relax from them, how will we be able to manage our daily routine? How can we even think? How we can live our lives?'

Understand very clearly that there is no reference or record of any bird having relaxed, falling and breaking its head. No! So if we let go, we will only fly. Just like the bird hanging onto the stick, we hold on tightly to our identity and continuously because our identity is our security. That is our security, whether in the outer world or in the inner world. That is our boundary; that is our security. The big problem is, when we hold onto it, we hold on only for security, but slowly, that boundary becomes practically like a boundary made for our bliss, our joy, our expression, our intense enjoyment.

The boundary which we create as a security, itself becomes a bondage or prison for our joy, of our very being. All that the bird needs is a little courage to let go. Maybe during the two or three seconds after it lets go, it might struggle to get its balance, it may experience a little chaos, a little difficulty. But after those few seconds, it will simply be in bliss, is it not? The courage to manage those two or three seconds is what I call tapas - penance. That is what is penance.

All we need to know is, the identity which we project to the outer world and the identity which we believe as ourselves, both have no base. Second: when you understand that both have no base, that they have no direct use to you in your life, that they do not directly contribute to your life, you can simply relax and play the game in a much better way without these two identities. The whole game which you are playing now, your whole life, your whole day-to-day routine, can be handled, managed and lived without these two identities coming into play or without these two identities remembered in your inner space as yourself. If this possibility is understood, then you have caught what I call the ‘right listening’ – shravana! You have finally rightly listened to my words! And if you are continuously contemplating and trying to live this newfound freedom, you have caught what I call manana – contemplation! You have finally started contemplating the great Truths. If you are established always in that freedom, we call it nidhidhyasana or living enlightenment! It means you have started living enlightenment.

Maybe in the young age, some fear and greed is needed to drive your life. But now, the maturity is in being driven by inspiration. That is what I feel is maturity. Even after becoming physically mature, if you have to be driven by fear and greed to run your day-to-day life, it is no good. But the problem is, we are never given the inspiration. We are never given the courage that we can live just by inspiration. We always think, ‘Either there should be fear or greed, else I will become lazy.’ This is not true.

Sometimes you can see, that for no reason you will radiate excitement and for no reason you radiate intelligence. Those few moments can be extended to become your whole life. That is what is experiencing the bliss body or anandamaya kosha.

Now, let us come to the unclutching technique.

If you observe your mind, you will see that thoughts are flowing continuously inside. And the thoughts are completely independent, illogical, unconnected, and irresponsible thoughts. These thoughts are not responsible for each other. They don't have a logical connection. They are completely independent and illogical; they are not connected.

Let me give you an example: you see a dog on the street. Immediately you remember some dog which you had as a pet or a dog of which you were frightened in your young age. Then, the memory of your young age comes to your mind. Suddenly, the thought of the teacher under whom you studied in your young age comes in. The dog which you saw on the street and the teacher whom you studied under have no logical connection!

You can take a paper and a pen and write down whatever goes on inside you, without editing anything, for just two minutes. Just transcribe whatever is going on in your mind. You will see that the thoughts flowing inside you are completely illogical, independent and irresponsible. Then what is it that connects them? What is it that connects them and gives you the kind of feeling that it is continuous and logical? The answer is 'your own mind'. For example, if you decide to connect all the suffering and depressing thoughts in your life and create an idea of a pain shaft, then you will conclude that your life itself is suffering. Then, because you have decided that your life is suffering, you will keep creating the pain shaft easily for yourself.

Very rarely when you are in a high mood, in an exciting mood, or when you are really in love with somebody, or some object, or with your life, do you feel that your whole life is a joy. And those moments you connect as joyful moments, and make a joy shaft. If you believe life is painful, you will create the pain shaft. If you believe life is joy, you will create the joy shaft. One important thing that you need to understand here: the depression which happened in you ten years ago, the depression which you experienced eight years ago, the depression which you experienced four years ago, and the depression which you experienced yesterday, are completely independent incidents. Our responses to independent incidents in our life are independent experiences, but when you connect all of them and see them together you say, ‘My whole life is a depression.’ This is the shaft that we must not create and this is the shaft we need to unclutch from.

This pain shaft or joy shaft is created out of your belief. If you see the exact thoughts moving as they are inside your inner space, they are neither right nor wrong. They are, that’s all. It is an existence, a reality, it is just flowing. But when you create an idea, when you want to restrict them, when you want to frame them for future reference, you either frame them as a pain shaft or a joy shaft. And the difficulty is you don’t stop here.

The moment you identify your life as a pain shaft, you try to break it. If you identify your life as a joy shaft, you try to elongate it. Neither can you elongate nor break the shaft because the shaft does not exist in reality. It does not exist in reality. It is just imaginary. It is just your feeling. If it exists, you can break it. It does not exist. You are trying to break something which is not there! You are trying to continuously fight with something which is not there, either the joy shaft or the pain shaft. Again and again, we try to break the pain shaft; trying to break the pain shaft brings one more pain.

The words flowing, the thoughts flowing in our inner space, creating pain shafts or creating joy shafts is what I call “Maya”.

In Sanskrit, we have a beautiful word “Maya”, that which is not there, but gives the suffering as if it is there. Even if it is not there, if it gives the suffering as if it were there, then it is called ‘Maya’. It is not there, but it gives the suffering or the impression as if it is there. The thoughts which are arising in your being are the root cause of your suffering.

Let me give you a simple technique of unclutching. Please understand, it is a simple technique of unclutching. What do I mean by the word ‘unclutching’? When you sit, there will naturally be some thoughts. When thoughts arise, usually your mind will tell you to connect it, identify it with some past pain or joy. Or it will classify them as something related to worry, or there is nothing, simply thoughts flowing. It will try to connect or classify. It will try to clutch with some of your past experiences and identify them.

Now just for few moments, try this experiment. When any thought comes, do not clutch it with your past experience, do not clutch it with your past suffering or joy. When words come out of your being, instead of giving meaning to them, just see the source of the sound. You see, sounds are rising from your inner space and the moment you give them meaning, you become materialistic.

And understand: thoughts arise only one after another in you. For one thought to arise, the previous thought should have died, else there is no way that this thought could have surfaced. If you are sitting now, and you suddenly decide to stand up, then the thought that you have to sit should have left you at that very moment, otherwise you cannot stand up, am I right?

If you apply this to every single thought of yours, you will realize that every thought simply rises and dies and the next thought rises. But what do we do? We gather all the thoughts that have died as well, and make our shafts and suffer. If you stop connecting the thoughts, your mind will disappear and you will be in pure thoughtless awareness or bliss body. If you catch this technique of uncluthing from your thoughts, you can catch the zone of thoughtless awareness or bliss!

This meditation expels the engraved memories in us that cause us to create the pain or joy shafts. It creates a harmonizing and balancing energy in us and keeps us in an energized and blissful state. This meditation is the essence of all my years of research in the Inner Science till date.

Before entering into the Nithya Dhyaan meditation, you need to know that there are seven vital energy centers in our body that are responsible for our emotional and physical health. When we learn to handle our emotions in the best possible way, we keep these chakras open, and they in turn keep us energized. If we get caught in our emotions of the past or the future, these energy centers get closed and we fall into

physical or mental illness. The base energy center, the muladhara chakra is associated with the emotion that is lust or desire, the swadhistana chakra is associated with the fear emotion, the manipuraka with worry, the anahata with attention-need, the vishuddhi with jealousy, the ajna with ego and the sahasrara with discontent. When we understand our negative emotions and rectify them, these chakras open up and radiate energy for us. The third step of this meditation is to do with these 7 chakras.

Step 1: Sit in vajrasana as shown in the picture (if not possible, sit cross-legged or on a chair) with hands on your hips. Close your eyes and breathe chaotically for 7 minutes.

Step 2: Continue to sit in vajrasana (if not possible, sit cross-legged or on a chair). Form ‘chin mudra’ with your fingers (form a circle with thumb and forefinger of both hands, palm upwards), and placing your hands on your knees, hum intensely for 7 minutes. Keep your lips together while humming. Hum as loudly, as deeply from your navel center and as lengthily as possible.

Step 3: You may now sit cross-legged on the floor if you wish to or continue to sit in vajrasana and for 7 minutes, take your awareness from the muladhara chakra to the sahasrara chakra. Dwell on each chakra for a minute with deep awareness. Visualize that there is nothing in this world except that chakra on which you are meditating.

a. Take your awareness to the muladhara chakra. Your muladhara is pure Your muladhara is filled with energy Your muladhara is overflowing with bliss Your muladhara is radiating nithyananda (After 1 minute)

b. Take your awareness to the swadhistana chakra which is two inches above the muladhara. Your swadhistana is pure Your swadhishtana is filled with energy Your swadhistana is overflowing with bliss Your swadhistana is radiating nithyananda (After 1 minute)

c. Take your awareness to the manipuraka chakra which is located at the navel center. Your manipuraka is pure Your manipuraka is filled with energy Your manipuraka is overflowing with bliss Your manipuraka is radiating nithyananda (After 1 minute)

d. Take your awareness to the anahata chakra which is located at the heart center. Your anahata is pure Your anahata is filled with energy Your anahata is overflowing with bliss Your anahata is radiating nithyananda (After 1 minute)

e. Take your awareness to the vishuddhi chakra which is located at the throat center. Your vishuddhi is pure Your vishuddhi is filled with energy Your vishuddhi is overflowing with bliss Your vishuddhi is radiating nithyananda (After 1 minute)

f. Take your awareness to the ajna chakra which is located in the region between your eyebrows. Your ajna is pure Your ajna is filled with energy Your ajna is overflowing with bliss Your ajna is radiating nithyananda (After 1 minute)

g. Take your awareness to the sahasrara chakra which is located in the crown center. Your sahasrara is pure Your sahasrara is filled with energy Your sahasrara is overflowing with bliss Your sahasrara is radiating nithyananda (After 1 minute)

Step 4: For 7 minutes just be unclutched in silence.

Step 5: For the last few minutes, listen to the Guru Puja mantras being played. This is an offering of gratitude to the lineage of enlightened masters for the Inner Science research done by them for over thousands of years. (You may refer to the Do Guru Puja Yourself book for a detailed explanation of the Guru Puja mantras).

Paramahamsa Nithyananda is an enlightened master living amidst us today. With a worldwide movement for meditation and inner bliss, Nithyananda offers solutions for situations as practical as every day stress to the quest for something as profound as enlightenment.

Nithyananda says, ‘Enlightenment flowers when individual consciousness disappears into Universal Consciousness. When you start living enlightenment, you automatically raise the human consciousness around you. Living enlightenment holds the key to global peace and inner bliss. Every individual should be a pioneer in the transition of human consciousness to Divine Consciousness.’

Nithyananda Mission offers specialized meditation programs worldwide, to benefit millions of people at the levels of body, mind and spirit. A few of them are listed below:

Inner Awakening is a ‘master’ program that is intensely transformative. It is a 21-day energy cycle that brings about an irreversible alchemy of moving from the mundane to the Divine. It is a program where the master is completely available to work on the true seeker and guide him to the Ultimate. Further, it gives you the lifetime opportunity to stay in the intense energy field of the Bengaluru ashram for 21 days.

Nithyananda says,

‘The Inner Awakening program is designed to reproduce all the components of jeevan mukti or ‘Living Enlightenment’ in every being.

Each of my programs is designed to reproduce one component, one dimension of me in you. For example, Life Bliss Program Level 1 (LBP 1), is designed to reproduce one component that is ‘living joyfully’. Life Bliss Program Level 2 (NSP) is designed to reproduce another dimension that is ‘living death beautifully’. Nithya Yoga is designed to reproduce yet another component that is 'having a yogic body'. Each program is designed to reproduce one component of jeevan mukti in you.

Whenever you experience one dimension, you experience an opening, an inspiration or feeling to go deep. Unfortunately that one opening is not enough to pass into jeevan mukti and start staying in jeevan mukti itself. It is more like having one glimpse of jeevan mukti.

The Inner Awakening is designed in a complete, whole way – it is like all the programs such as Nithyanandam, Nithya Yoga, everything put together and something more...reproducing all the components of jeevan mukti which is in me, in you.

The whole thing is now available to you in one place.

Living every moment with the understanding that life is introducing new dimensions of the cosmos to you is 'Living Enlightenment'."
