Understand and liberate

If somebody gives us this deadline, 'You will be alive till tomorrow morning; you can do whatever you want,' just look inside your mind; what all will you do? If you will do anything other than your daily routine, be very clear that your morality is just skin deep. Your morality is just skin deep. What does it mean? It means you have all along been controlling yourself for some reason in the name of morality and guilt. You are not living your whole life for some reason. As long as you don't live your whole life, you will always feel that you are missing something. The feeling that you are missing something is the root cause for fear of death. Mostly, we are not even afraid of death. We are afraid that we have not lived our life. Actually, it is not fear of death. It is the fear that we have not lived our life fully. Guilt is the root of fear of death. As long as you have guilt, you can never enjoy anything.

Reflection of deities in the mela

Reflections...

The Foundation was part of the first ever Kumbha mela in Los Angeles, USA in 2007. Several spiritual organisations came together and organised it. Seen here is a reflection of the procession of deities in the mela.

I want you to know the power of Ananda which liberates you from the dilemmas of the mind and depression of your being; which gives you tremendous freedom in the inner and outer worlds.

Paramahamsa

Memories which you don't want to recall or with which you are not comfortable, are what I call Energy Clots. Just like when there is a blood clot, and blood cannot flow freely, these energy clots do not allow your thinking to flow freely. It does not allow you to be with expanded Consciousness.

FIRST BE THEN BECOME

That is the only way

We know so many ways of becoming, but becoming is totally different from being. To become a doctor we know what has to be done; to become a lawyer we know what has to be done, to become a politician we know what has to be done. To become this, to become that, to become a millionaire, we know what has to be done. All our knowledge is all about becoming. We know only how to become something. We forgot an important thing - how to BE. Because your inner space has become too corrupted with the concept of becoming, we have lost touch with the idea of being; we have lost touch with our very truth which is being. Becoming is directly related to the mind; being is directly related to our nature. Becoming is related to society, being is related to our nature. At least for one moment, if you can experience the being, so many things which you accumulated when you wanted to become something - the physical illness, mental illness, suffering, sorrow, so many things that you accumulated when you were trying to become something, all those things will be washed away. You will have inner healing happening in you. Whatever was disturbing you - all the wounds will be washed away. Above all you will have a real, concrete, solid base to become something.
