Listening Awakens Your Intuition🔗

Today's subject for the Nithya Satsang is: listening and samadhi and how listening can directly enter into your system and make you experience samadhi!

Listen. Let me describe authenticity. You have three parts in your life: what you feel as you, how you project yourself to others, and how others feel about you.

List all the three separately in three columns: Column 1: How I feel about me. Column 2: How I project me to you, to the world. Column 3: How the world wants me.

These are the three columns. In these three, pick up the peaks and make them into reality. That is authenticity. Understand, in these three columns, write how you feel about you, how you project yourself to others, and what others expect of you.

Please understand, when you define with integrity how you feel about you, the qualities you feel about you, you use to define you, and the qualities you use to project yourself to others, and the qualities others expect from you, when you list out all these three separately, you will know which one is your peak. Bring yourself to that peak. That is authenticity. Understand, that is authenticity!

You need to understand that when you are in authenticity, when you are practicing authenticity authentically, your whole inner space will be so alive. Just by listening, you will reach the depth of you; you will experience the depth of you. Just by listening! Even now, look inside you. Find out, are there any incompletions? Is there any restlessness? If there is restlessness inside you, incompletions inside you now, you will not be able to listen.

Whenever you listen to you, you listen to others. When you don't listen to others, you don't listen to you also. Get it? When you don't listen to you, you don't listen to others. When you don't listen to others, you don't listen to you also. Listen to you and listen to others. Only when you listen to you first and see that you are in completion, you can listen to others. If there are incompletions inside – I have not done this, I have not done that, this has not happened, that has not happened, I am restless – if you have such incompletions inside, be very clear, you will not be listening to me. You may be sitting here out of compulsion, or some other reason, but you will not be listening to me. When you don't listen, more and more incompletions happen.

Listen. Now, it is like because you are incomplete, you don't listen. Because you are here and you don't listen, this satsang becomes one more incompletion in you. But if you start listening, this very satsang will lead you to ultimate completion. What do you need for completion? Listen to yourself! If your inner space tells you, you are in incompletion, or restlessness, or whatever, tell yourself, 'I declare completion now. If there is some incompletion, I will come and handle you (incompletion) after the satsang. Please wait where I left my shoes. Now I am complete! I am going to listen. I am going to listen.'

How many of you are cognizing what I am saying? How many of you are ready to declare now, that you are complete? Alright.

Now close your eyes and tell yourself, 'I am complete. I drop all the incompletions once for all. I keep them all out of my inner space.' Declare completion! I am complete! I am listening! Listening! Listening!'

You can open your eyes. Decide to Listen!!

Continuously listen! When you listen authentically, you do not need any separate meditation practice, kriya, or anything for enlightenment. Why do you need any kriya? Just to change the words you utter towards you. You constantly utter, 'I am bound. I am powerless. I am bound. I am powerless.' All kriya, all sadhana, all spiritual practice is just to break that and make you tell, 'I am free. I am

powerful. I am enlightened.’ That’s all.

If you listen, especially to words coming out of completion, you will suddenly see that those very words go and change your inner space; they just change your inner space itself. When you listen completely, even if the other person is in incompletion, you will find that out. Your space of completion will find it. ‘Hey, this guy is in incompletion. His space is in incompletion.’ And you will know how to help him to be complete.

In these three traditions - Zen tradition, Vedic tradition, and tantric traditions - these three traditions use the power of sound. In Vedic tradition, Vedic chanting is nothing but becoming it just by declarations. Every morning you declare, ‘aham brahmasmi. aham brahmasmi. Aham Brahmasmi. Shivoham. Shivoham. Shivoham.’ Just the declaration! Such powerful declarations. Especially the collective declaration. You are there in that space.

If India gets back to the style of Vedic chanting every day, at least every morning, I tell you, India will be free from poverty, free from diseases, free from everything inauspicious. It is not too late.

O, India! I am giving you my clarion call. Wake up! Enough of your Hindu abusal mentality! Just these declarations are enough. Because the space from which you act is responsible for the place you create. I wanted every village to have their temple from where the Vedic mantras are chanted every morning, the loud collective declarations are uttered and the whole village gives those declarations and supports it by ‘tathaasthu’ - so be it.

Every morning, we have these declarations: Lokasamastha sukhinobhavanthu

Understand, I am not promoting Vedic chanting as a faith or as a religious practice, or as a religious sentiment. NO! I am promoting Vedic chanting as a scientific method for prosperity, as a scientific method for awakening intelligence, and as a scientific method for success.

Listen. With integrity and authenticity, look in, cognize and raise your hand after the declaration that you are complete. Just now, immediately after the declaration, how many of you felt you are really complete? That is the power of completion! Understand. That is the power of completion.

That is the power of declaration. Your mind is not your enemy. It is just an untrained child. Have the right attitude towards your mind.

I have a pet; somebody gifted him to me. If he doesn't listen to what I say, he is not my enemy; he is just untrained. I don't need to kill him, or attack him. I just need to train him. But with your mind, you always have that enmity: I told you two times. You did not listen. But don't you see, you are unconsciously telling him to do what he wants, ten times? You are misguiding him. It is like this - if I tell my pet, 'Come, come.' but in the body language, I show, 'Go, go, go,' the fellow will be completely confused. Because the hands are showing, 'Go, go,'

but the words are, 'Come. Come.' What will happen to that poor fellow? That is what you are doing to your mind.

On one side, you are unconsciously showing the hand like this – Go, Go

It is like the Indian drivers. They will put on the left indicator, show the right hand signal, and finally drive straight. And the fellow who is coming behind does not know what to do! Whether he is taking left or he is taking right or going straight. In confusion!

You, you, you are responsible for your mind. You need to take the responsibility. You are responsible and you need to take the responsibility.

Listening, listening makes your inner space cognize right declarations. When you listen, you will find out two things:

Usually, if you are listening to a being who is already in completion, you will not find a single disconnect from the flow of thoughts. I may be unclutched, but I am never disconnected.

But when you speak with ordinary people who are in incompletion, you will find this very clearly. You will find this very clearly!

Listening awakens your intuition. Understand, listening awakens your intuition. Listening awakens your innermost intelligence. Listening awakens your innermost intelligence. Catch it.

Catch the truth. Get the truth. So many things are said even during the break, understand, even during the gap. Even during the gap, during every silent moment, so many things are said!

For a person who wants to begin 'life', the first thing he needs to learn is 'listening'! That is why I keep this as the first lesson in our Gurukul. This should be the first lesson. Kids should be taught to sit straight, without restlessness, without moving the body for the first ten days. Even in the eN-Genius program, the first lesson, at least on the first day, they should be taught, again and again, to sit straight without restlessness, Listening! If the listening somehow starts in you, every sense, every sense will become so alive, awakened. I tell you, once the listening starts, your eyes will become sharp.

Learn listening; you will not need spectacles. I am talking to you with the responsibility that I am talking on national television. I am not promising any false miracle cures. Try it, and you will see. Try! Inside you, listen even during the gaps, listen to the absence. When there are words, listen to the presence of the sound. When there are no words, listen to the absence of the sound. When you listen, your smell, smelling capability will become sharp. Your listening will become sharp. Your seeing will

become sharp. Your ability to receive the touch will become sharp.

Listen, when you can see sharply, when you can smell sharply, when you can feel the touch sharply, you will be so alive, so alive, you will be healthy, beyond diseaselessness. Not just aarogya, I am coining a new word, nirogya. Niroga. You know roga and arogya, you do not know nirogya. Nirogya is ‘wellness beyond health.’ Understand, ‘wellness beyond health’. Listening can do so much!

These gaps I give are the moments I actually listen to you. Because in the gaps, I know, whether you are restless or in restful awareness, based on your body language. Whether you are listening or just arguing inside you. Sometimes people constantly argue with themselves inside them. Non-listening. Non-listening is Death. Listening is Life!

By hearing, understand, by hearing you won’t understand me. Only by listening, you can understand me. People who listen, they understand what I am saying, even without any introduction to any spiritual philosophy. People who don’t listen, they do not understand.

Listening, when you start listening, your kundalini shoots straight to the crown center. Your kundalini is awakened straightaway. You need to catch the truth. Only people with listening will even be interested to listen to my satsangs, because I give enough gaps between every words. Usually, professional speakers don’t give gaps, because if they give a gap, your mind will go away somewhere. It won’t come back. So, professional speakers are always trained to ‘blah, blah, blah, blah.’ It is more like a catharsis. They vomit their incompletion on you. And you grab that incompletion and vomit on somebody else.

I am not a professional speaker. I am a professional listener! Before I start speaking, I listen to you, in the silence. Every time I give a break between words, I listen to you. I speak what will make you listen. That is why my listening ends up as your listening. As I am a listener, I make you listen. I end up in making you listen.

Today's satsang is dedicated to 'Listening', because life starts from there. Don't be in a hurry to cognize what I am speaking, because your cognition is filled with so many judgments, opinions, attitudes, personal beliefs, and attributes. No. Don't be in a hurry to cognize. Don't be in a hurry to classify it with, 'I already know it. I have already done Inner Awakening. I have heard the morning satsangs every day.' No. If you already heard it even once, I will not repeat it again. Anything you listen to from me, understand that you are listening now, for the first time. If you had already listened, I will make sure that the words do not fall on your ears for the second time, because I won't waste your time or my time. I am Kaala.

The essence of today's satsang is this - LISTEN!!!

Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you!

Yoga is 'authenticity in action', not just 'perfection in action', it is 'authenticity in action'. Listen! Authenticity in your thinking - means, raising you to the peak. Raising you, again and again, higher and higher, expanding you more and more.
