UNDERSTAND THE SOURCE OF YOUR SUFFERING🔗

FOURTH MAY, 2013

I will expand on how you can identify your root pattern. Please understand, I will remind all of you once more - only when you give your listening, I can help you. Any transmission of knowledge, energy or experience happens between us only when you give listening!

Even Vedic rishis start with this chant:

shrunvantu vishwe amritasya putraaha | Oh! Sons of Immortality, please listen to me!

shrunvantu vishwe amritasya putaraaha | vedaarameham purusham mahaantham || Oh! Sons of Immortality, listen to me!

Identify your root pattern! Listen! I am defining 'root pattern' once more. The first attack of any strong emotion happening in you and imbalancing your whole cognition, giving birth to your mind - the pattern you develop from that moment, is root pattern.

Please understand, it can be anything, from something as simple as your mother did not give you the cake and gave it to your brother!

In India, that is a big problem! Male kids are pampered and female kids are not supported. This is one of the biggest patterns with which the whole of India suffers. You need to know - in India, the practice of not giving a share in the property to women is still practiced! This has to be abolished. Women should be given equal rights over the properties and you can also use mother's name as an initial with your name. All this should happen. Only then are we going to come out of this mental cognition. We forgot that in the Vedic tradition, men and women had equal respect. We need to understand, we need to evolve as a society and give an equal right in name and property.

Root pattern is the pattern which you develop, at the time when powerlessness takes you over for the first time in your life. And your cognition is imbalanced and your mind is born! It may be as simple as your mother making you sit on the dining table so that you will not run around and make a mess; your brother chasing you into a room and trying to beat you; or you tried your best but failed in your exam or some competition. It can be even that small! But that is the root on which the mind is born.

Understand, if you sit with yourself even for half-an-hour and think through, dig out, you will be able to find your root pattern. The only thing is that whatever you think through, continue to speak in front of the mirror. Without speaking, your thinking will not have its clarity, depth and strength. To find your root pattern, you may have to speak; you may have to speak in front of the mirror.

Sit comfortably in front of the mirror. Whatever you think as your root pattern - it may be at the age of three or four, when powerlessness overpowered you for the first time in your life, or the earliest memory you remember. It would have happened sometime when you were three or four, but you may only remember the incident which happened when you were seven or eight.

But whatever you remember, start talking, talking and talking out! When you start talking, you will understand - please understand - you will understand, and you may suddenly remember the deeper root pattern which started much earlier, the incidents which happened much earlier!

I have seen that there are some people who suffer the disease of spontaneous lying. The moment they open their mouth, lying, lying, lying! I tell you, spontaneous lying means you feel powerlessness. You are inauthentic to yourself. Feeling powerlessness is slavery. Feeling powerful is freedom. If you feel powerful throughout your day, you are a jeevan mukta! You are living enlightenment! If you feel powerful, from when you wake up in the morning to the moment you fall asleep, you are a jeevan mukta!

Everything has roots. The way you behave, the way you think, the way you react, the way you respond, way you cognize, why you behave the way you behave - everything has a root pattern!

Understand, whether you feel unhealthy, or helpless, or emotionally weak, tired, bored, lazy, agitated or irritated, all these put together is what I classify as powerlessness; feeling powerless. The good news is that you can live without any of these. The bad news is that you need to work for it!

I tell you, if the kids can be helped during the young age to remove their root patterns and not to build root patterns, they will do wonders! I have seen! I have seen! Whatever I am doing in 'Inner Awakening', ten times more than that happens in eN-Genius (spiritual program for kids), without my physical presence, because they are ready to receive it! Kids are ready to receive!

I still remember, as a small boy, I was going around the hill alone, reading the Arunagiri Andaadi - hundred songs on Arunachala written by Guhai Namashivaya, a great saint. Even now I can repeat all the hundred verses by heart! I was walking with that book! I was asked to go round the hill every day, by my 'heartless' Guru, Kuppammal, Vibhoodanandadevi!

I was supposed to go around it at night, because I didn't have time in the day. During the day I either went to school or sat with her studying the vedas and upanishads! And usually, it will be very hot in the day time. So after sunset, she would tell me, 'Now lessons are over. Please go round the hill and come back and sleep! She used to say it as though it was just next door.

If I go round the hill, when will I sleep? Because, by the time I come back, I have to take bath in the tank and go to the temple for suprabhaatham!

When Shiva is waking up, when the lord is waking up, when Arunachala is waking up, you should go and see him early in the morning when he wakes up! So, I would have to run!

Anyway, I went around every day. And I keep that as a habit even now! Even now, if I am staying in Arunachala, I will go around the hill. Only then will I come and sleep. Even now, whenever I can, I don't miss walking around the hill. I will always walk in the night, with a group of disciples, and that will be the best moment of my life. The way I run! You can see the high energy around me!

One night when I was a child, some ten hyenas came. A hyena is an animal which is very shy when alone, but will attack and kill any human-being if they are in groups. And they will simply kill children, they will simply kill! Children are the best dinner for them! They will kill!

I was walking alone. It was amavasya (new moon day) or just near amavasya. No light and complete darkness! In those days, the path for going around the Arunachala Hill was very dark and it was a narrow road - not even a road, it was more like a forest road. Suddenly, some ten hyenas were standing in front of me! In the middle of the night, I am all alone with just that one book ‘Songs of Arunachala’ in my hand!! From the lower abdomen – the swadhishtana, I gave a voice,

'ARUNACHALAAAAAAA!!' I don't know if the whole Arunachala Hill vibrated with that! Suddenly, an old man appeared with a stick and drove the hyenas away! They all ran away. Somehow I got saved. Otherwise I would not be here! I would not be sitting here. I would have been sitting in their stomach within the next few hours! Anyhow, I came back and narrated the whole story to my Guru, Vibhoodanandapuri, with the deep feeling that from the next day I wouldn't be asked to go walking around the hill. She heard everything, and finally all she said was, 'Wow! Arunachala saved you!'

There is no doubt that Arunachala saved me. But Arunachala may come and save me once, how can that be a routine? But next day, she said, 'Come on! Go around the hill!' I was shocked! I asked, 'What do you mean? Will Arunachala come and save me every day?' She just hit at me with one question, 'Will hyenas attack you every day?' Listen! I asked her, 'Will Arunachala come and save me every day?' She said, 'Will hyenas come and attack you every day?' That's it! When I told about this incident to my mother, who is always over-protective of me, she heard the whole thing and finally asked me, 'What did paatti tell?' paatti means my Guru, Vibhoodanandapuri. 'What did she tell?' I told her what she said. Then she just walked into the house and said, 'Alright, you go the walking around the hill!' She just walked into the house and said, 'You go now!'

I am telling you, it really hit me! Yes, will hyenas come and attack me every day? Then she said, 'If hyenas come every day, then Arunachala also will come every day! Go! I tell you, I am seeing this even now in my life. Whenever hyenas come, Arunachala comes and protects me! It may be ten hyenas or twelve hyenas or six-hundred hyenas! Arunachala comes and protects! Had I not gone for my walk around the hill - giri pradhakshina, the next day, I would have continued to be a human being with one divine experience. Because I decided to go, I am now a divine being, with one human experience of screaming! Had I not gone the next day, I would have been a human-being with one divine experience of Arunachala coming and protecting me. But because I went, I am now a divine being having only one human experience of screaming in fear! Nowadays I don't even need to scream and call Arunachala. Even before the hyenas come near, he is there, drives them out and destroys the hyenas! He takes care of any problem that comes in the form of hyenas! He protects me! He drives them out! Do not allow root-patterns to get rooted in you. Look into the root patterns, of why you behave how you behave. Everything in Existence has a root. Everything you do has a reason, a root!

I have a story.

God and Adam were walking through the Garden of the Eden, discussing various things. At one point, Adam exclaims, 'God, you have done a great job making Eve so beautiful! Amazing! She is really beautiful!' Then God says, 'Yes, my son, I made her beautiful so you would love her very, very deeply.' After some time, I think Adam felt he had praised her too much. Man will usually give one 'but' if he feels he has praised you too much! After sometime Adam also gives his 'but'. 'But, Lord, you have not made her too smart! You have made her dumb!' God said, 'Yes, I made her dumb, so that she would love you very, very deeply!'

Of course there is a root; there is a reason for every happening in existence. Find out the root of your happening. When you find your root pattern and complete with it, you will understand your prarabdha. Now, I will give you the exact technique of finding your root pattern. It will be great if you have the assistance of a teacher. I have trained and am training thousands of teachers and sannyasis. The teacher himself should have found their root pattern and completed with it. If you have such a person helping you, then nothing like it!

I also have good news for you; I am coming up with a ten-day program which aims at helping you find the root-thought-pattern and complete with it. By re-living it, when you narrate it, you may remember some other earlier incident. Then narrate that earlier incident that you remembered. Go deep, deep, the earliest incident you remember when you felt powerless in your life. Narrate that by completely reliving it at least ten times. You will find out, you will catch the exact words which are forming the root pattern in you!

I am giving you the precise technique. Sit in front of the mirror. Remember the earliest memory of you feeling ‘powerless’, and repeat the incident remembering every word you uttered towards yourself, every thought you had towards yourself. If you have a person who has found his root- pattern and completed, his moola samskaara and completed it, he will be able to guide you with the exact root pattern you are suffering from. The right technical word for root pattern in Sanskrit is ‘moola vaasana’.

Please understand, when you started having the root pattern, when you first had the feeling of powerlessness, you never grew once the root pattern started! Your age was mentally sealed! You physically grow, but mentally, you are sealed! If you mentally grow, your physical age will be sealed! It means that you will be young forever! If your mind goes on expanding, getting matured, ripened and feeling powerful, your body will be young. You will be growing young.

Look into every moment that you feel powerless in your life, even now. Don't try to escape from those moments! No! Don't try to escape from those moments! You can never escape! You can never escape! The moment your root pattern is born, your life is destroyed! Your growth is stopped! Only when you complete with your root pattern will you come back to life again.

Understand. When you complete with your root pattern in life, 'life' starts happening in you. Until you understand your root pattern and complete with it, you can't be peaceful anywhere in the world!

A story: Disciple asked the Master, 'Master, you are a great, powerful, enlightened being. Why don't you just take me to the plane of perfect peace, like Kailash.' The Master replies to the disciple, 'If I take you to Kailash, it will no longer be peaceful!'

Unless your root-patterns are completed, you will corrupt, pollute and disturb even Kailash! If your root-patterns are complete, you will be peaceful wherever you are.

Listen! If you are in the corporate field, a CEO or you are in the Human Resource Management field, the HR field, if you are a decision-maker or the head of a team in a temple, ashram, corporate companies, in your business, in your job, I tell you - please help yourself find the root pattern and complete. Help others in your team, in your company, in your school, in your institution, in your organization. Help them find their root pattern and complete.

I tell you with integrity and authenticity, once I helped my ashramites, my swamis find their root pattern and complete, Dhyanapeetam has become three times more productive! Of course, I want them to become three-hundred times more productive! That is different! That is my root pattern! That is different as it is out of completion! But, I tell you, they have become at least three times more productive!

So, if you are a decision-maker or having workers under you, head of an institution, school, college, temple, ashram, organization, company or industry, I just simply request you to find your root pattern and complete! Help all the people around you to find their root pattern and complete. I guarantee you; the productivity will become three times more! The productivity will become three times more!

You will become productive! Your team will become productive. Because when you get out of the root pattern, you will be out of the 'begging mentality' towards life. You may beg forever and ever but you can never become a millionaire by begging. You may beg for twenty-five years.

It may look like easy money. But you will never be a millionaire until the end. If you work with the 'beggar mentality' you will never be successful until the end.

A story: At the entrance of a temple, a beggar was always stretching out his one hand asking for alms, begging. One day, people suddenly saw that both hands were stretched out, stretching and begging! They asked him, ‘What happened? Today, you have suddenly stretched both your hands! Until now you were stretching only one hand! Why are you stretching both your hands now?’ He said, ‘I have started one more branch!’

You may have any number of branches. But you will never become a millionaire by begging! In the same way, if you are working with a begging mentality, you will never be complete! You will never be complete! If you help somebody find the root pattern and complete, the first thing you will have is an integrated human-being. He will not cheat you. She will not cheat you. Especially in the schools, industries and corporate offices, where so much of cheating goes on at the subordinate levels, at the lower layers. If you can help your subordinates find the root pattern and complete with it, you will have authentic, integrated subordinates. It means that you will have heaven!

I have a story: The children had all lined up in a cafeteria in a school, for lunch. At the head of the table, there was a large pile of apples, and the Headmaster had posted a note on the apple tray saying, ‘Take only one. God is watching!’ Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table, was a large pile of chocolate cookies. On the chocolate cookies one child had put a small note, 'Take as much as you want, because God is watching the apples!'

No! It is not going to help you, if you have this kind of people around you. If somebody completes with their root pattern, the first thing that will happen to them is integrity and authenticity. You will have beautiful beings around you; beautiful beings around you! You do not know the joy of having integrated and authentic people around you. So, the first thing is to find your root-thought-pattern. Help others find their root pattern and complete with it. Complete with it.

Understand, the lack of integrity and authenticity will not work in your life. When you are inauthentic, you forget things. When you are not listening, you forget things. When you help people to complete their root pattern, you will have authentic and integrated beings. You will be successful. Your mission will be successful. Your job will be successful. Everything - everything will be successful!

The essence of today's satsang is this. Find your root pattern and complete with it!

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

Memories which stay in you and make you continuously respond in the same pattern unconsciously, again and again, is bio-memory. If you learn the essence of the lessons you need to catch from the bio-memory, and live spontaneously based on that essence, it becomes 'bio-energy'.
