Ritualistic Puja - A Reinforcement of Clicks🔗

Puja is a ritualistic offering. Puja is nothing but an everyday remembering of all the clicks which have happened in you till date, so that the necessary click will automatically come up whenever you have a problem.

When a Master teaches, it is not even a teaching, it is a powerful experience. When you do not use the initiations received through him, when you do not again and again use those shaastra-shastras: knowledge-weapons given to you by him, not only do they lose their power, you may not even be able to remember them again. This is the important thing to understand here.

For example, let us say you have a cot. If you do not use the cot for 2 years, it is not that the cot will become unusable or will disappear. After 2 years, you can use it again. But the knowledge given to you, the initiations given to you, if you do not use them for 2 years, they will not be sitting in your bedroom waiting for you to use them. No! They will simply disappear, that's all.

So how do you remind yourself everyday of all the clicks that have happened in you? Everyday, sitting and reminding yourself of all the clicks which happened in you is what is puja or ritual. Pujas are designed with this intent.

Automatically, everyday, whether you want it or not, when you sit for the ritual, you will remember the initiation experiences; the clicks that happened with the Master. The ritual brings you back to pure consciousness everyday. The engrams start losing their power. When the engrams with which you were born start losing their power over you, further collection of engrams stops. When the collection stops and the existing karma also lose their power over you, then, the person who brings you back to the superconscious zone again and again, the Master, appears when you leave the body, and burns your sanchita as well!

Understand, you can't do anything directly with your sanchita karma bank. For sanchita to burn out, only Guru kripa – grace of the Master, will work. Only the Master's grace can do anything to burn out your sanchita.

For example, if your child sits and tries very hard to build a small house, what will you do? You will say, 'Alright, do not bother. I will build it and give it to you.' In the same way, when a disciple sincerely works to remove his own prarabdha and agamya, the Guru's grace simply happens and removes the sanchita also!

Understand one important thing, the Guru's grace that we are talking about here is not just dependent on me. If anybody who sincerely does penance or meditation, then, in spite of me, the grace will land on him! It is not even dependent on me. It is an automatic mechanism!

May you be very clear, it is dependent just on your own receptivity, not on me. I am like an ocean - constantly available to whoever comes with whatever size vessel they wish to carry. If you come with a coconut shell, you will carry back that much of me. If you come with a little bigger vessel, you will carry back the corresponding quantity of me. If you come with yet a big container, you will carry back what that container can hold. If you are intelligent, you will build a canal!

So initiation or puja means, reminding yourself everyday of all the initiations, of all the great experiences that happened with the Master and bringing yourself back to the same high consciousness repeatedly. When you are ready everyday with the same high spirit, it means that you are ready for the next 24 hours of the drama of life that is going to unfold! For the next 24 hours, you have the energy required. This is the reason behind doing puja.
