Today I wanted to expand on this one truth – hridaya guhya dahara vidya!

In all of us, please listen, in all of us there is a strong cognition which is spontaneous for us, which forms the core of our heart, the core of our being, which is cherished in the cave of the heart - hridaya guha. All of us have hridaya guhya dahara vidya in our heart cave - a natural understanding, a spontaneous flow of knowledge.

For some people, ‘I am this body’ is the hridaya guhya dahara vidya. They function, think, do everything with that understanding ‘I am this body’. From morning till night, painting and cleaning, externally and internally, takes the whole day; internal washing, cleaning, filling, external washing, cleaning, painting, takes the whole day. Even the little remaining time they have, they will be working for this.

Some people think, 'I am the mind'. For them, name and fame, rewards, the joy which comes when others praise them, that is them. If that becomes your hridaya guhya dahara vidya, your spontaneous knowledge about life, so you run behind that stupid Nobel Prize your whole life, and finally, you get rejected and dejected... but you still go on teaching other people 'How to Live'!

You need to understand what is actually your hridaya guhya dahara vidya. What is your spontaneous cognition in your heart cave, what is your inner image, outer image, life image and others image, spontaneously what do you think, spontaneously what you understand, spontaneously what you carry.

I wanted every one of you to know, spontaneously what you carry is what you brought from the past birth. My hridaya guhya dahara vidya, the spontaneous cognition, the knowledge I brought in my heart cave, is completely aligned to all these four images. That was my spontaneous flow of life. I want to repeat this again and again till you understand – align all these four constantly in the best way - what you feel inside you as you (inner image), what you declare outside you as you (outer image), what you want others to experience as you (others' image), what you feel about others and the world (life image), The life happening in you, you feeling ‘I exist’ every moment is life energy. You can infuse that life energy into whatever you want. If you constantly think, ‘I have so much of self-doubt, I can never be successful’, the more and more you associate yourself with that idea, it becomes alive. Understand, in the beginning, you may not be able to change what happens outside you, but you will be able to always change what happens inside you. So, decide that even for few minutes you will not empower or energize the concept that you are struggling, you are a failure.
