1. The Unrealized Knowledge🔗

First, I wish to tell you a few basic things before we enter into the program:

Whatever knowledge you have with you already, all the intellectual stuff that you have collected till now, from previous programs and from any reading, please keep it aside while you are here. Just sit as an open being. Then, it will be easy for me to help you. It would be a waste of your money if you sat here with all the old knowledge that you have in you already. Any knowledge that you have within you that has not become a solid experience for you as yet, should be sent out of your system.

Even if the knowledge was from my earlier programs, if whatever you have heard has not become an experience in you, do not carry it with you. Especially now, do not keep it in your head. Whatever has become a solid experience would have left your head long ago. It will be in your being. So whatever is still in the head has not become an experience. So, send it out. Sit in a completely relaxed way. You can be very free and relaxed. When you sit, don't sit with an attitude of „I know this“, „I know that“, „I have heard this earlier“, etc. A small story:

A young man worked hard and prepared for a presentation, and then delivered it to the target audience. The whole group enjoyed it except one professor - a highly intellectual person. At the end of the presentation, the young man asked that professor, ‘Did you enjoy the presentation? What is your opinion of it?’

The professor replied, ‘I know every word that you uttered in the presentation. I know the book from which it is taken. Then, how will I enjoy it? Every word which you used is there in that book.’ The young man was shocked and said, ‘No, I can’t believe this, Professor.’ The professor said, ‘I will send you that book tomorrow.’ The next day, the professor sent the book to him. The book was a dictionary!

Understand! You might think that this is amusing, but your mind also plays the same cunning role. It keeps concluding every minute, „I know everything that he is talking. I read it in that book, I read it in this book, I heard it spoken in that discourse,“ and what not. Your mind will always be taking things for granted.

Maybe this story is a little exaggerated, but your mind is not far from it. If you watch your mind closely, you will understand what I am saying. You will understand that the basic thread is the same, whether it is your mind or the professor“s; just the degree is different, that“s all.

1.1 Work towards experience I always tell people: spending years and years in just acquiring knowledge is a mere waste. If you can work towards one solid experience, it is the best thing that can happen to you. What do I mean by experience? Experience means being convinced beyond your logic that ultimate truths are livable, that ultimate truths are reality. That is what I call experience.

Some people who are a little innocent, who don“t have a large amount of knowledge stored in them, will have the „click“ or „experience“ easily. Only those who don“t want to get rid of their knowledge, those who have vested interests in their knowledge, take ages to experience.

Understand: it is very rare to get the presence of an enlightened master in your life. I am telling you in very clear words not to miss it. When you are near a master, you are near such a great possibility, so do not waste it, merely because of your mind and the stored information. When I tell this to people, they don“t listen, and when I leave the country, they sit and repent for not having fully utilized the time and space around me.

1.2 Let go of that identity; have a real vacation! One more important thing: be a little more flowing than your usual self during the time you are here. You are in a safe and blissful zone, so just let go. Don“t be frozen and serious. Nobody is here to exploit you; you are in a completely safe and secure zone. So be relaxed and open.

People are constantly holding onto their identity because they feel insecure and threatened that their identity might disappear if they let go. Deep down, all of you have a desire to actually be in a place where you don“t need to hold onto your identity; where no one will recognize you, and you can just let go and do what you wish to do. So, when I create such a situation, people see the possibility for it to happen, but feel insecure because of that. Just see the self-contradiction!

When you see a beach, a or a resort, or a snow covered mountain in a website or on television or in photographs, you always feel that you should be there at that spot, is it not? You visualize and

fantasize that you are traveling by boat and enjoying that ambience! But when you actually go to that spot, you don't feel that same joy or ecstasy which you felt when you fantasized.

When you think of Miami, it is amazing, but when you live there, it is not so amazing. Why is this so? Because the desire swelling in you, is actually to be in a place where you don't need to hold onto your identity. While this is your real desire, you think that the place is the real desire! You know that there is nobody in Miami who knows you and so you don't have to hold onto your identity for survival. This is the actual thought under all the layers of thoughts. This thought does not even surface consciously; it is there subconsciously. This thought is an expression of your yearning for freedom from identity. This is what you are really searching for, not any fantasy place. Understand this truth very deeply and it will help you to have a real vacation here and now! Your desire for vacation is nothing but the desire to be away from your identity. But when you go there, without knowing the truth that you started out with, you try to establish your identity there also. In two days, you establish your same old identity firmly, and experience the same hell. You settle down comfortably with your old hell.

Now, for these two days, try to have a real vacation. Move away from your identity. First, move away from your friends and family; do not sit next to them. If you sit next to them, you will constantly feel obliged to react the way they would want you to. You will be having some identity or image of yourself with that relative. You will be forced to maintain that identity all the time, if you sit next to them; your words, your laughter, your body language, even the way you sit, etc. You will be unconsciously maintaining it all for their sake. And every time you do that, you will be establishing your old identity again. I have seen husbands who do not laugh completely when they are sitting with their wives. Every time they feel like laughing, they look for some kind of concurrence.

If the wife laughs, they will also laugh. So much of bonding is not required! At least, for these two days, you can be a little away from it and relax. It is for your own good that I am saying this, not for anything else.

1.3 Revel in the revelation Our meditation programs are never designed; they are just revealed. There is a big difference between designing and revelation. Let us understand this first. This is the first thing which you need to understand. „Designed“ means having prior information as to: What does the customer want? What is supposed to be supplied? How best to package it? What is the purpose of the product? „Design“ is an analysis of what you want to give, and how you want to market it. With all this information, with all this data, the product is created and marketed. „Revelation“ needs just one thing: the need of the customer, that's all, nothing else. What does the person in front of you need? Then, the Truth, as it should be expressed, simply comes out on its own! That is revelation.

Meaning of Atma Spurana And The Koshas Let us understand the word Atma Spurana before entering into the program. Literally when translated, Atma Spurana means „Flowering of the Self“. The word „Self“ needs to be understood. In the Western dictionary, the word „self“ is always understood as „ego“ or „individual identity“. But in the vedic tradition, „Self“ is not considered as the individual identity. It is the eternally existing consciousness. Atma Spurana is the flowering of this consciousness.

What are koshas? Koshas literally means sheaths or coverings. For example, we say biologically our physical body comprises of various systems like nervous system, circulatory system, muscul-skeletal system, respiratory system etc. This does not mean that there are so many separate systems each of which has its own body part. The same physical body has a number of organs, a group of which can be classified into performing a certain function. For example, the respiratory system has all the organs like the heart, lungs, throat etc which are involved with the functions of inhalation, exhalation and sending the oxygen to each and every part of the body and collecting the carbon dioxide from every cell of the body.

So also, we can classify our body-mind-spirit system in different ways. One such classification is the koshas. The annamaya kosha is related to the physical body which is the body we can see, touch and feel. The pranamaya kosha is related to the breath, which is directly and deeply related to our desires. The manomaya kosha is related to our mental thoughts. The vijnanamaya kosha is related to all our feelings and emotions. The anandamaya kosha is related to the bliss in us - our true nature.

We don't need to work on the Self itself in order to make this flowering happen. We need to work on something which is between that us and that Self. Your body, your mind, your emotions, these few things which are between you and your Self is what we need to work on. These are called koshas; they are energy sheaths, in and around us. Only these koshas, which are five in number, need to flower, need to open, need to radiate, need to fall in tune. Understand: the ultimate Self does not need anything, only the instruments with which you experience the Self need to flower; they need to open up for you to experience the Self or Truth. All five layers need to be purified so that they constantly radiate enlightenment.

The Pancadasi (3.1) says that the sheeths (Koshas) are like a cave in which Truth is hidden. It says, it possible to know Brahman or Truth, which is hidden in this cave.

One more thing: in the NSP, we work on the samskaras or engraved memories that are printed on the koshas, on the layers. Now we are going to work on the koshas themselves, on the very canvas itself.

See, in each one of you, there is something which gives you the confidence. Even though you die again and again, there is something that gives you a deep confidence that you will not die in the real sense. That is what the Atman or the Self is.

There is a beautiful story in the great Hindu epic Mahabharata. It is called Yakshaprashna:

There was a demigod named Yaksha who had a quiz program with Yudhishtira - one of the five Pandava Princes, known for treading the path of dharma, or righteousness.

4

The demigod was asking all his questions and one of the questions was, 'What is the most surprising thing on planet Earth?' Yudhishtira says, 'Every moment, every day, we see so many people going to a mass abode – the abode of death. Even then, every soul, every person who lives here, thinks that he is not going to die! He thinks that he is going to be here forever; that only others are going to die. That is the most surprising thing on planet Earth!'

There is something which gives you the confidence; there is some energy that constantly gives you the idea that you are going to be here forever. That is what we call Atman! If we understand this truth and catch on to the energy, or Self, behind this thinking, we will celebrate death as a mere passage in the existence of the Self. Instead, if we understand this truth in the context of the physical body, we will end up believing that death can never take our body away from us, and we suffer when it actually happens.

2.2 The Goal of This Program – Making the Self Alive Every one of you, every one of us, experiences the Self, but unfortunately, not all the time. Every one of us has got some experience or at least a vague idea about that Self. Without this hidden belief, there would be no logic for you to hold on to this body. You holding on to the body, is only a disguise of the truth that your Self is eternal. Holding on to this body is possible only because you have some idea, in some corner of your mind, that you won‟t perish, that you won‟t die. Consciously you think that it is your body that can‟t perish, but the deep truth is that it is your Self.

Atma Spurana means flowering of the Self, that Self, that consciousness which is in you; making it alive; making this as a solid experience for you throughout your life. The goal, or the purpose of the whole program is making that Self alive, making that as a living experience, which will hold good for your entire life.

Making the Self alive was the very goal of the Master/disciple relationship in the Vedic tradition. And to achieve this, you should know the significance of these koshas. Then, you can achieve inner bliss in a much easier and quicker way. During the Vedic times, knowledge of these koshas was passed down from the Master to the disciple through learning of the Vedic scriptures such as the Upanishad. The Upanishad speaks extensively about these koshas. Knowledge about them was imparted in Vedic schools called Gurukul. In the olden days, the disciples went to Gurukuls and learned about life engineering, that is, Spirituality. Once they undertook training in such profound truths, the rest of the academics became child‟s play. The reason is, through Upanishadic training, the very learning stemmed from deep consciousness, not from mere intellect.

In Gurukuls, whatever be the area of learning for the child, the deep seeking in them for the ultimate truth was continuously nurtured. That was the thread in which everything else was strung. They were continuously prodded to inquire what man‟s search in life was about. Every human being has this question and the answer for it, deeply embedded in him. It is the responsibility of the enlightened Masters to bring this out of them, and help them achieve fulfilment through it. It is only because this question is not brought out, that we really do not know what we are searching for. The aim of education in the Gurukuls was to bring out this question, and to identify the answer.

2.3 Meaning of Upanishad – 'Just Sitting' This whole program is based on Taitreya Upanishad. The basic techniques, or the ideas which we are going to practice, are from Taitreya Upanishad. The word Upanishad is a very powerful word. The

translation of that word is just ... „sitting“... nothing else. Just sitting can do so much in you. Sitting

in the presence of the Master, just sitting with the Master, can do so much in you. That is why the essence of all the Vedic scriptures is called Upanishad or „just sitting“. It is the ultimate technique.

When you sit with the Master, the Upanishad ... the sitting ... happens; some strange process starts happening in you, which can neither be called as a technique, nor as a no-technique. It is literally like cooking, or boiling! By tomorrow evening, you are expected to be completely boiled. In Sanskrit we have a word Siddha. Siddha has two meanings: 1.) enlightened 2.) cooked, boiled. So, by tomorrow evening you are expected to be completely boiled or cooked. It is just like adding something to you and taking something away from you, both simultaneously. Whatever can be taken away, will be taken away, and whatever needs to be added will be added. The Master“s presence is like the cooking fire. Just like how in cooking, you add some ingredients, remove some ingredients and in the presence of fire, when you do this, cooking happens, when you just sit in the presence of the Master, cooking happens. It is more of a process.

If you have done our first level programs like the Ananda Spurana Program (ASP), Life Bliss Program (LBP), or the Nithyananda Spurana Program (NSP), you would know that all these programs are technique based. Technique-based means you will be taught some technique in the camp which you can practice here, or you can go back home and practice it. How much effort you put in, that much you will grow. That much will become an experience. It happens.

There are next level programs like the Dhyana Spurana Program (DSP) or Nithyanandam. These are not technique-based. There won“t be any technique to do. Just understanding will be imparted there. The understanding itself will add so much to you. Just the simple, yet deep understanding is enough. It will change your ideas about yourself, the world and the cosmic energy, that is Jeeva, Ishwara and Jagat. If your ideas about these three change, you will be transformed. This is the second level.

Now, this program is neither technique-based nor no-technique-based. Technique-based is when you will learn something to be done here and which you can go back home and practice. You will not receive anything like that now. You will not receive anything which you can practice at home.

No-technique-based is that which is based on just understanding, nothing else. You will not be doing anything. But now, it is not that you are going to keep quiet either. That is why I say that it is neither technique-based, nor no-technique-based. It is called a „process“, or „alchemy“. Alchemy is a process where a lower base metal is transformed to a higher metal by adding something to it and removing something from it.

There is a reason why I want to give this detailed introduction to you. The reason is, I don“t want any of you to miss the whole aim of this program. Please do not miss a single session. With technique based programs, if you miss one or two techniques, there“s no problem. You will have 80% of the result. With the no-technique based program, you don“t even need to come for the program, just the DVD is enough! Your physical presence is not needed. But now, not only your physical presence, my physical presence is also needed. Both of us need to sit with each other. That is why this Upanishad starts with a beautiful mantra. Let us enter into that mantra next.

For the next few days, please decide very clearly: you are going to be here for the whole program without missing a single session. People will come and ask, „Swamiji, I have to go and pick up my kids. Can I go and come back?“ In India we do the Atma Spurana program for four days. But you know that in this country that even if God comes, he has to come in the weekend! If he comes in the weekdays, you ask him for his email ID saying you will get back to him! So for at least this weekend, let us be here completely doing the Upanishad. Please do not miss even a single session. Just be with the entire flow.

You can be relaxed; there is no need to be serious. Of course, if you are checking me out, then you will be serious, too serious, trying to constantly judge me and what I am doing. But I tell you: don“t bother too much, just relax. I am already judged by 1.2 million people around the world. If you are sitting here, waiting and judging, you are going to miss the whole thing. That is the problem. If you are judging, you will be wasting your time.

Judging is not wrong. The preliminary programs like LBP, NSP, Dhyana Spurana Program...all those programs I have created for the people who are first timers, who are judging. But this program, the Atma Spurana Program, I have designed more for the people who are really interested in diving deep. The other programs aim at breadth. This program aims at depth. So unfortunately, if you have not done any of the checking out programs, decide not to waste your time any further. If you have already checked out a bit, then you won“t have a problem. You will be completely ready to dive in. So now, don“t bother much about judging. Just dive deep into your being.

One more thing: you will not be able to understand about me unless you dive into the technology that I have created. And unless you have dived and had one experience, you can“t judge either. Unless you yourself have one experience, you can“t understand whether I had it or not. Only when you have some experience, you can understand. So even if you want to judge me, jump completely inside. Only then you will be able to judge properly. If you are standing outside and judging, then you are a critic, not a seeker. There are two ways of looking at things. Understand: a positive doubt such as maybe what he is saying is right - if you just have that „maybe“, that‘s enough. It is a scientist‘s mind, a beginner‘s mind. How a

scientist approaches a theory, in the same way, but in the beginner‘s stage. Then there is scope for so much to happen; so much of work can be done. Otherwise, you will be just sitting and wasting your time and my time.

Even if you are not able to completely throw away your doubts, decide for these two days that you will strongly believe, you will strongly trust, you will strongly work with the Master, that‘s all. Doubt will completely disappear only when you become enlightened. But now, you can decide that you will put the maximum possible energy in the direction of working with the Master.

You have two paths: you can put your energy on working, or on doubting and wasting time. Now, I am asking you to put your energy more towards working. If you doubt, I need to waste a lot of time in convincing you and proving to you. I have already convinced 12 lakh people around the world, which is around 1.2 million. That is the number of initiated disciples as of now. And for sure, there are at least a few „more intelligent“ people than you in that number. So just relax from the head.

Why do you think I have to tell you so many things? Why do I have to take so much time in doing this? Because people waste so much time in intellectual jugglery, that‘s why.

The other day, I went to one of our devotee‘s house. I was telling his daughter to do an LBP program. She told me, „I will do whatever my mom says, but I should be convinced about it.“ I wanted to ask her, „Does that mean that whatever you are doing, you are totally convinced about?“ No! The problem is, in other things in life, we are not bothered about logical conviction, but when it comes to spirituality, we are too cautious. I wanted to ask that girl, „You must be smoking or drinking. Are you logically convinced that it is good for you?“ There are so many things that people are not logically convinced about, but they go ahead and do it. But when it comes to spirituality, they get too cautious. They spend a lot of time and energy in just intellectual jugglery. The real reason is, they do not want to enter into reality, that‘s all! It is a cunning way of postponing reality.

See, you want to claim yourself as spiritual, but you are not ready to transform in order to claim that! So, you just play with the knowledge. Playing with knowledge is a nice way of postponing reality.

I am telling you very clearly: you are spoiled, corrupted with so many unnecessary words and ideas. It is time now to dump all the words and go in for the experience, for the truth. Ramakrishna Paramahamsa says beautifully, „People go into the mango garden and do a big survey, a big research. They analyse: how many types of mango are there? What is the production cost? What is the sales cost? What is the income? How many trees are there? How many branches and how many leaves are there? All the statistics are put down. There are some other people who simply go in, pluck a few mangoes, eat them and come out!

We waste too much time in analysis! The whole time is spent on project planning. No work gets done!

Actually, you don‘t need so much time with me. Only because you are loaded with words, with too much analysis, do you have to sit together with me for two days for anything to happen. I have seen

so many people having the experience without going through any technique or program with me.

A Beautiful Story...

Just the other day, I visited an ailing devotee. She has not done any of our programs, but she has achieved a far deeper state than anyone else. Actually, I went to heal her, actually, to bless her before she would pass away. After healing, I turned towards her feet and did namaskar. When I came out, one of my close disciples who had caught my action asked me, ‘What is this Swamiji? You did namaskar to her, towards her feet, why? She has not even done any of our programs!’ I told him, ‘She has not done any of our programs. All she had done was heard about me, and she felt connected! That’s all. She has seen me only once.’

I explained further why I did namaskar to her feet.

In Bhagavata Purana (ancient Hindu epic), there is a beautiful story where Krishna is painting the feet of Radha with mehandi (Indian concoction for decorative coloring of hands and feet). The rishis got jealous seeing this. They asked Krishna, ‘What is this? How can you do this to a girl? You may be in love with her, but you are God, so how can you touch the feet of somebody, and that too a girl? This is too much. We can’t digest this.’

Actually their ego was hurt, that’s all. They fall at Krishna’s feet and touch them. Now, Krishna is touching Radha’s feet! It means to them that they are indirectly touching Radha’s feet, which they do not want! That is their real problem.

Krishna answers beautifully, ‘Understand: purely by her devotion, she is more connected to me than this body is connected to me, so this body is feeling shy and offering its respect to that body, to that person.’

If you understand this one thing, the Atma Spurana is done, nothing else is needed!

Krishna says, „She is more connected to me than this body is connected to me. I feel she is more close to me than this body. That is why this body is touching her feet and offering its devotion and respect!“

This one sentence has got so many truths. The first thing is, it clearly implies that Krishna is beyond his body. That is why he is able to talk of the body in that fashion. The second thing: the feeling of connectedness happens only through deep trust or surrendering or relaxing, as in the case of Radha. Third: when devotion happens in you, you become much more than God! Understand: when devotion happens in you, you become much more than God! That is what you need to understand by this one sentence, by this one statement.

So, I told the same thing to the disciple who questioned me. I felt that the ailing devotee was more connected to me than this body itself because of her simple faith and devotion. A few days later, she left the body so beautifully and gracefully. She never trained with the ways of intellect or logic in her life.

People sometimes think that if you are from the West, you will be stuck in logic and if you are from the East, you will be more towards the being. This is not true. I know so many Indians who are so strong in the head and so many Westerners who simply melt when they see me for the first time! It is to do with the quality of your being, not with where you took birth.

3.1 Mistake Your Identity! Anyhow, for these two days, drop from your identity. If you are a doctor, think of yourself as an engineer. If you are a lawyer, think of yourself as a doctor. If you are male, think of yourself as female. Just change your identity; relax from your identity for these two days. You don't know the

freedom you will experience if you are able to do this! Just for these two days decide, „There is no need for me to prove my identity to anyone. I am not going to prove my identity to anyone. I am not going to hold on to my identity.“ Just for these two days, be a Paramahamsa! The word Paramahamsa literally means: instead of society calling me mad, I myself say I am mad, so that I am free!

Just look at me! I don't have to follow any one idea. I don't have to follow any one mould. I give you only one guarantee: that I will not hurt you; that's all. After that, I don't have to prove anything to you. I am not even interested in proving any identity to you. That is why I don't even use the word swami in my title. This swami word is associated with too much identity, too many problems. That is why I never use the word swami in my title. Paramahamsa means liberated. You can also live the life of liberation for these few days.

As long as you are here, try to even avoid talking. If you start talking, you will have to bring back your old identity; you have to talk in the same way; you will be in the same track. So for two days, just relax; do not carry the identity; do not carry your same ideas; just be like a vagabond.

Actually, hippies are the people who are very close to enlightenment; all they need is a little meditation, that's all. They have all the other qualifications for enlightenment. I lived a hippie for nine years, but of course, not with drugs, with only meditation! If you simply remove drugs, and add meditation to hippies, they are enlightened ... over! Nothing else needs to be done. Just remove their drugs and add some meditation. For these two days, let you be enlightened hippies! Paramahamsa is just an enlightened hippie, nothing else! Hippie minus drug plus meditation equals enlightenment, that's all!

For these two days, just relax from all identities; relax from feeling compelled to prove your identity; just be completely relaxed. Don't bother about the results. At the end, you will see that so much can happen in you. So much of transformation can happen in you; you will be a new being, a new person when you leave the hall.

This is such a great opportunity to sit, to experience Upanishad. Now, you are going to experience Upanishad. It is such a great opportunity to experience Upanishad from the very source of the Vedic tradition; from the very root! So, all you need to do is only one thing: relaxing from your identity. If you don't have one, you are saved; half the job is done. If you have one, then relax from it for the next two days.

Completely Open ... Listen...

Now, we will start the first thing - the initiation. Sit with a completely open being. You can even visualize and feel that you are open. Visualize that you are completely open; that you are a flower fully opened, fully blossomed, fully available; that you are totally relaxed. Just listen to these few mantras that I am going to chant. I am going to chant mantras from the Upanishad on which we are going to work.

Close your eyes. Just sit completely open and in silence. The silence always exists ... inside you and outside you. Sit with a completely open being. Make your inner space available and open, for the downloading of this new software that is going to happen now.

Just visualize very clearly that you are opening your body, that you are opening your prana - that is the air circulation; that you are opening your mind - that is, your inner chattering; that you are opening all your emotions; that you are opening your very inner space.

These words are powerful words coming to you directly from enlightened beings, now recited again by an enlightened being, towards enlightened beings that is you all...

... from an enlightened being through an enlightened being to enlightened

beings... Let your eyes be closed. Be completely open and relaxed.

(Swamiji chants from the Taitreya Upanishad)

Let these words vibrate in you and penetrate your core. Be completely open. The whole process is now getting inscribed into your inner space, so that it can open by itself. It can take care of the process by itself. It is literally like downloading a software. Just allow it. Put your whole energy to open up. Allow whatever happens to happen.

(Chanting continues and finishes)

Relax. You may now open your eyes.

Now, you will see that this very downloading itself will do the process. You don't have to worry that you don't understand the meaning of what I have just chanted. In fact, even if you understand the meaning, try to avoid going into what you think the meaning is. In reality, you don't know the meaning. Sanskrit is not just a linguistic language; it is a phonetic language also. You may know the meaning of the words as written in the dictionary - that is the linguistic meaning. But, you will not know the phonetic experience of it, the other layer of it. So just relax, and allow the downloaded software to work on you.

You have the great fortune of sitting with an enlightened being. Enlightened beings are the only

living Gods on planet Earth. If I declare this openly, sometimes, people get irritated. Their ego gets hurt. They ask: how can he claim that? Understand one thing very clearly: don“t bother whether I am God or not; but just you trusting this statement, just by you believing this statement, you are going to be helped these few days. I have finished solving all my problems. By saying that I am God or I am not, I am not going to have any problem. Also, by you accepting that I am God, I am not going to gain something out of it. No! If you don“t accept also, I am not going to bother about it. By you not accepting it, my personality is not going to be affected in anyway! I am not going to lose confidence on myself. Do you understand what I am saying? Whether you accept it, or not accept it, my confidence in myself is not going to be affected in any way. I have solved my life already! Only thing: if you accept, it will help you; that is the only reason. For the next two days, it will be a big help for you. In making such a statement, I am proposing it more as a technique, as a method, than as a fact. You may take it more as a method, to lift you or to transform your consciousness, than as a fact. So, just take it as a method, and work.

Fortunately, enlightened beings are not selected by voting! They just declare themselves, that“s all! Whether people vote or not, they don“t care. That is the greatness of enlightenment!
