LISTENING IS THE FIRST🔗

STEP TO SPIRITUALITY!

SUNDAY, 17TH FEBRUARY 2013

Let's enter into today's satsang. Listen! The first statement I wanted to make today is this: Usually, many teachers say again and again – 'However much you listen, only if you practice it, you will achieve it.' I wanted to reverse it. However much you try to practice, only if you listen, will you achieve it! Listen! However much you try to practice, only if you listen, will you achieve it!

Many times you would have heard people saying, however much you listen, only when you practice, you will achieve it. But here I am saying - however much you try to practice - only if you listen, you will achieve it. How many of you cognize what I am saying? You should have observed the word, 'try to practice it'. It means that without listening, however much you practice, it will only be trying to practice, not practicing! Only when you listen, practicing starts.

Listen! Today, I am going to share some of the tattvas, truths about integrity. I wanted to define integrity once more. Integrity means honoring the words you give to you and to others, as your life. Integrity is neither morality nor ethics - it is beyond both.

Listen. Only when you utter the word ‘I’, you exist. Until you remember the word ‘I’ in your inner space, you do not exist. You may say - ‘No, no, no! When I sleep in the night, I don’t remember ‘I’ in deep sleep, but when I come back, I remember ‘I’. But I see, I existed throughout the night!’

No! Your body existed throughout the night. You have not existed. Listen! This argument is not going to win. It is not right. When you did not remember you through the night, you did not exist, only your body existed. For example, I went to Kumbh Mela last month and returned to Bidadi. Now, just because Bidadi ashram existed for the last few days, it does not mean that I have existed here even when I was in Kumbha Mela. Only the Bidadi ashram existed. Just because your body existed, it does not mean that you have existed too. When you remember the word ‘I’, only then do you exist. You exist only when you remember the word ‘I’! Everything starts with the word. Everything starts with a declaration. Everything starts with a commitment. So listen!

A clearly expressed word is fulfillment. The word which is perverted and hurting yourself is guilt. The word which is hurting others is violence. The word which goes on expanding you is desire. The word which constantly keeps you in completion and expands you, is integrity.

Listen, if you just decide from this moment – ‘I will honor the words I utter to me and to others, as my life,’ the inner thoughts, the inner chattering, will drastically reduce! A breakthrough will happen in your thinking process. Because, the moment you become aware that you have to complete or fulfill every word you utter to you and to others, you will become aware of your thinking and your every thought; you will know if a thought is coming from your fear or greed or jealousy or ego or arrogance. And you will immediately complete it.

Completion can be done in so many ways - either by working with the person who is related with the root pattern with which you are suffering, or by catharsis (primal sound releasing methods) or by unclutching. All three can be used for completion, based on the depth of the pattern that you are carrying. You can try all these three on every pattern that you carry. I tell you, if you are the only person responsible for the pattern, sit with the mirror and start svapoornatva. I tell you, the mirror should be your atmamoorti - your personal deity, when you begin your sadhna (spiritual practice). All the Gurukul kids and ashramites, will have the mirror as your deity until you finish svapoornatva. All devotees - you can even choose which deity you want to carry as your ishtadevata (chosen deity) only after you complete your svapoornatva. Until then, the mirror is your deity. Because, you need to constantly do svapoornatva (completion) during the initial level. Many times, you do not even know the commitments you give to yourself out of fear, and you go on trying to fulfill them. This only leads to deeper and deeper fears. Many of the people for whom you are giving your life don't need your life, they just need a psychiatric pill! Many patterns for which you are giving your life

do not need your life, they just need a few minutes of completion!

Just bring integrity in your thinking; you will see that so much of extraordinary powers express in you. Only when you bring integrity in your thinking, your bio-memory will stop feeling that it is matter and stop asking for food from the external world. If you have tried ‘The nirahara samyama’ (technique to live healthily without solid food) and failed, understand - you have not brought integrity in your thinking. Bring integrity in your thinking. Your bio-memory becomes so soft, so subtle. It stops asking for food from the external world and directly takes food from space.

When you bring integrity in your thinking, you do not waste your inner space in making more and more complications. Continuing to make more and more complications is agamya, accumulating karmas. If you stop making more and more complications, you will start exhausting even the complications you made earlier, which are called prarabdha. The complications you already made are called prarabdha, the complications you are making are called agaamya. Continuing to make complications without even knowing it is maya.

The complications you made are prarabdha, the complications you are making are agamya and not even having the knowledge that you are making complications is maya.

Constantly making complications means you do not listen to your heart’s cry. I really want the entrance of all the main halls to be painted like a ear. When you see it, you should remember that you are walking into the ear! So that you know that by entering into this door, you commit to listen.

And I also wanted all the ashramites, disciples and devotees to have rudraksha, just to remind you to listen. Listen! Listen! Because in Vedic tradition, the ear-rings are given for the initiated ears, the ears which have heard the mantras, listened to the mantras. The ear-rings are only given to the ears which are ready to listen. Piercing the ears is a religious ritual in Vedic tradition. The child is taught to listen, and the child gives the commitment, ‘From now on, I start listening.’

Listen! Listening to yourself, constantly is ajapa japa. Being in the completion with yourself is unclutching. Being in integrity with the master is feeling connection.

Listen. When you sit to listen to you, when you constantly check if you are integrated with you, you will see that all that your inauthenticity will be exposed to you. Naturally, you will find a solution for you. Lack of integrity is nothing but putting all your problems under the carpet and postponing, without finding a solution. Today if you have a certain incompletion and if you think, ‘I’ll do the completion tomorrow, now let me push it under the carpet, I have other work to finish in the next few hours,’ - I tell you, the next few hours is going to add more incompletion! And more things are going to be pushed under the carpet. Listening to you is the first step to spirituality!

People again and again ask me, 'The moment I sit for meditation or unclutching, I have more thoughts! I have more confusion, I have more problems. Next time, I don't want to sit for meditation or unclutching. Swamiji, what should I do?'

How will you not have thoughts or confusion? Unclutching is not like switching off the electricity to your house. It is like cleaning, sweeping and wiping your house. It is not like electricity that you will just switch off and be unclutched. No! It is like cleaning, sweeping and wiping. First, listen to your inner space! That is the first step to meditation, to life. Listen!!

Constantly listening to your own inner space is the beginning of integrity. If your inner space says that there is nothing more to listen, if only silence is there, then that is the end of integrity. You have achieved integrity. When you start listening to your inner space, you start integrity and when you listen to only silence from your inner space, you have achieved integrity. As long as you are hearing something from your inner space, it is lack of integrity. Go on listening. Even while you are sitting, driving, talking or walking, listen to you. Also listen to you, when you are talking! It is listening to you that is going to bring integrity to you!

Listen! Listen! Untiringly listen! Intensely bring integrity to your life. As I said, however much you try to practice, only if you listen will you achieve it. I'm changing the statement that you heard from so many people, 'How much ever you listen, only if you practice you will achieve it.' I tell you, how much ever you try to practice, only if you listen will you achieve it.!

Listen. I tell you, only if you see the results of the spiritual truths in your life - you will be inspired to live them, you will be inspired to make them as satyas. All your doubts are nothing but your fight with the tattvas. So if you achieve the result of even one tattva, you will start living all four tattvas. You will be inspired. You don't know how inspired I am! I am going crazy with these four tattvas, twenty-four hours! I am looking into myself and saying, 'Can I enrich in any other way? Can I enrich in any other way?'

Today, keeping Kalabhairava as witness, I commit with you that I will directly pen down the akashic readings, and it will be published in my own handwriting! I will do it whenever I find time.

So from today, I commit with you guys - Kalabhairava will download the akashic records and just pen it down. And I promise, it will be in His handwriting. It will be in His handwriting. So from today I'll be continuously writing, whenever I find time.

So now, we will have the next breakthrough. You guys can expect pages and pages of akashic records, downloaded in the own handwriting of Kalabhairava, Mahakala, every day. And whoever wants to receive the handwriting of Kalabhairava in your email, please mail us. After every download of akashic records of writing, I'll just press a button and mail it to all you guys. Enjoy!

There’s no end for integrity, there’s no end for authenticity, there’s no end for responsibility; There’s no end for enriching. It is eternal for everyone. You are expanding from your level and I’m expanding from my level, that’s all.

I tell you, guys, when you stretch yourself to this level, Kalabhairava will start writing through any one of you. It is not my wholesale agency. I’m not a wholesale agent. I’m not the sole owner, the sole proprietor. All you need to do, is have this level of authentic dedication to enriching.

How many of you were shocked when you heard that I am thinking and working on how many more ways I can enrich others? So listen, when you create the same shock for others, Kalabhairava will express through you. That’s all.

Continue to live and radiate the four tattvas. I tell you, only when you see the result of first tattva, you will have the joy and inspiration to live all the tattvas. Continuously live it. I tell you, it will be just a joy to live this satyas. It will be a joy to contribute to the world. It will be just a joy to contribute, to enrich. Listen, unless you enjoy living these tattvas, you will not be able to contribute. You will not be able to enrich others. Enjoy living these tattvas.

I bless you all to achieve success in the completion process. I bless you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with eternal bliss, ‘Nithayananda’!

One of the biggest problems human beings have is that you love to be successful, but you deeply believe that you are a failure! Understand, some of your actions may be a failure, some of your decisions or dimensions may be a failure, but you are never a failure, because you are still breathing!
