99. Eternal Bliss.🔗

❖ Bliss is one that is not known to many. The few who know it do not understand it. To those very few who have experienced and felt it, it is an unexplainable one.

❖ Bliss can be experienced. Over and above that it can be pointed out that 'Bliss is here only. Bliss can be attained in this manner also. This only is bliss.' But bliss cannot be explained.

❖ The words of wisdom and meditation techniques of all the enlightened Masters are only for showing the sea of bliss.

❖ This bliss is only that which has to be discovered by an individual person by digging deep within himself in his own personal life.

-------------

A gentleman, who was living superficially, became vexed and spoke to the Zen Master, saying, 'What is this? For the last forty years I have done meditation. Still I have not got salvation.'

The Master slowly said, 'It is forty years only. Not forty births. Is it not?'

❖ To obtain enlightenment, the divine energy will take the same time that is taken to snap the finger. The time taken by water which is 99.9 degrees centigrade to boil and change into steam at 100 degrees centigrade is the same time that will be taken for the strong mind to dissolve.

❖ But, how much time will it take for the ordinary water to reach 99.9 degrees centigrade? For that how much of heat energy and effort would be needed? In case it has frozen as an ice slab...

❖ Minds of many people are only ice slabs.

❖ Heat should be created within you.

❖ Begin to work hard...

In the same way as camphor disappears the moment it catches fire, the miracle of disappearance of mind will occur.

--------

The wisdom search for bliss will appear a little strange rather.

The reason:

Being blissful is natural. Not being blissful only, is artificial.

In life, as we have continuously got accustomed to live artificially without bliss, so the artificial way of living has become the natural way of living. This perplexity has formed itself. Nature has begun to appear as artificial for an average man.

This is the reason why the search for wisdom appears rather strange.

A disciple approached a Zen Master with a search for wisdom.

Zen Masters' approach is rather different.

To understand their speech itself, some times separate maturity is necessary.

The disciple said to the Master, 'For me to get enlightenment, what should I do? I have tried all methods known to me...'

Zen Master said, 'Oh! It is very easy my friend.'

'Is it so? Teach me that method immediately.'

'It is very difficult, my friend.'

The disciple got confused. 'Master, what are you saying? I don't understand any thing. The method to get enlightenment is very easy. If you say teaching that is very difficult, I do not understand that.'

The Zen Master said, 'That method is very, very easy. That is why to teach that to you it is very, very difficult.'

'I do not understand what you say.' Zen Master said, 'I have not even started as yet, to explain that method to you. Even before that you say that understanding itself is difficult. How is it possible to teach that to you?'

The disciple said, 'Even if it is difficult only for you to listen through your ears and understand, you yourself try that easy method once. Then only all will be understood.'

The disciple said, 'Please tell me that method soon.' He became happy.

Zen Master said:

❖ It will go though a tree. But it will not make any sound in doing so. You have to find out what that is. ❖ It will pass through the lush green grass, without causing any movement in the grass. You have to find out what that is. ❖ Even after falling in a puddle of water, it will not create any sort of waves in the water. You have to find out what that is. If you find the answer you will get enlightenment.

Disciple's joy knew no bounds. 'If I had known that there is such an easy method, I would have got enlightenment long back! It can be found out if I go in search of tree, grass and water. Why does he say this is hard to learn? - Wondering this way, he started searching.

Even after continuously trying for one month, the disciple could not at all find that one, which will go through without creating any movement in a tree, grass and water.

After searching a lot, he got tired. No use.

Lastly, when the disciple returned to the Master, he asked him, 'What is that thing? I could not find it out.'

Zen Master said, 'Thing! It is not at all a thing.'

'If so, is it nothing at all?'

'Mmm. It can also be called so.'

'If you say this, then, how shall I search for it?' he asked at the peak of confusion.

The Zen Master said, 'Friend, think well. Did I ask you to search for it? I told you only to find out what it is. Certainly, it can be found. Finding it is very, very easy. On the other hand, if you begin to search for it, finding it will be very, very difficult. Now think about it. You can come to understand what I said earlier.'

Having understood to some extent the subtle thing stated by the Master, the disciple, due to his over-enthusiasm, said, 'Please tell me as to what that thing is about which we were talking for so long.'

The Zen Master replied, 'It is not any thing else. It is the one which is Omni-present the Ananda energy or Bliss energy only.'

Having understood the subtlety, the disciple very quickly found out the Ananda energy.

Enlightenment is feeling the Ananda energy going beyond the experience, as a consciously experimented realization.

In spite of always remaining abounded in bliss, not getting tired of the abundance of sweetness - Only this state is called the state of experience of realization.

This is certainly possible for all. In fact attaining enlightenment is the birth right of every man (i.e.) a natural right.

On account of continuously seeing the artificial quality of remaining without bliss right from birth, the non-boring 'Permanent bliss' may appear a little strange for some people.

But I can say emphatically...

If tried, it is possible. You can surely attain bliss. Attaining the state of bliss is a very, very easy thing.

-------------

A meaningful incident.

A disciple told a Tantric mystic

'I want to be blissful.' The mystic asked, 'Really?'

The disciple said, 'Yes, yes.'

'It is very easy. Remove the first three words of your request. You will be blissful.

The disciple asked, 'Which one...? Which one...?'

Mystic said, 'Erase 'I want to' and look at what remains.'

❖ Allow the wisdom truths to penetrate you it will fight and win.

--------------

Meditation chisels. Chisel No.54.

Living in the material world one can still realize eternal bliss.

Leaving home, don't run away to the forest.

Enlightenment will not be obtained by sitting under a tree in the forest.

For a person who cannot sit in a place peacefully in the house, believing that he would become peaceful, if he goes to the forest is Maya, illusion.

A truth... The maximum mental maturity required for a person to be a family man is only the minimum qualification required for a person aspiring to continue the life as an ascetic.

To support and hold in the outer world, there is family.

If you totter in the inner world there is none to support and hold you!

Here it is only the struggler himself, who has to support the struggler.

Therefore, I tell you...

Asceticism is not an escape route for a person who escapes. It is a path decisively taken by a person who has taken a determined decision to attain eternal bliss. It is a way of celebration. It is a separate method.

Whatever has to be seen in the outer world see all of it. Enjoy. Don't keep any balance in any thing.

Do not get yourself tethered with any one or any thing.

Mentally always be a person possessing your own individuality.

Don't get caught in any thing, anywhere. Even in the name of love, don't be slaves for anybody or any thing.

In giving love, be a person of boundless liberality. That is sufficient to be in eternal bliss.

To attain the state of eternal bliss, make your attempt from where you are.

Make every cell of your body function. Gather together continuously - meditation for energy; and wisdom truths for the intellect.

Asceticism is a wisdom path. It is a royal path.

But, if tried with full breath, that is, if tried with all earnestness and sincerity, while remaining in the external world itself, one can reach eternal bliss.

Become eternal bliss itself.

This is a possible for each and every one.

100. Celebration.

Suzuki was a great Zen Master. Here is a very beautiful Haikou written by him:

‘Before beginning the search for wisdom... Mountain appeared as a mountain. Flower appeared as a flower. River appeared as a river. After attaining enlightenment... Mountain appeared as a mountain. Flower appeared as a flower. River appeared as a river. All the confusion is only in between.’

Buddhu and Buddha – both do not have sorrow. Buddhu means a fool; Buddha means a mystic.

What all sorrows you now experience are indications that you are not fools. They are evidences that you are moving towards wisdom. Make your progress with zeal.

❖ By getting the strength to rule a country, or by accumulating enormous amount of money, celebration will not be born. Only be getting strength to rule one's own self, and by creating the quality and maturity to enjoy blissfully whatever is available, celebration will be born.

❖ It is only suffering mental trouble that stands as a wall between you and the celebration. Do you know that?

❖ No sort of suffering mental trouble can shake a person who is in the state of Krishna Buddha. The reason: It is the pure state that is reached after throwing away the feeling of mental suffering.

❖ Until a man remains affected by the disease of the feeling of mental suffering, only struggles will be visible for his eyes.

❖ If the feeling of celebration arises in a man, every thing will appear as celebration for his eyes.

------------

When a poet once asked Buddha, 'Having been a king, why should you live like a beggar? Buddha said: 'Before I got enlightenment, even though I had everything with me, I was suffering. After enlightenment, even though I have nothing with me, I was, am, and will be blissful. For the sake of this state, any thing can be lost.'

'Oh, what a luxurious life!'

This was the life what Gowtham Siddhartha lived before he became Buddha.

Since Buddha's father, who had known before hand that his son, in his later days, would certainly become an ascetic, he had created and given to his son all sorts of luxuries.

In spite of it, his father had made all arrangements to such an extent, that there was nothing else left in the world for his son to enjoy still he could not prevent Siddhartha becoming Buddha.

Going beyond outer world comforts, he started in search of inner world comfort. He blossomed as the Buddha.

The person who was first and foremost responsible for the art of living of wisdom and meditation being formulated in a systematic manner was Buddha. The first enlightened Master, who gave the knowledge about wisdom and prescribed the techniques to attain the same, was Buddha.

The wisdom of Buddha is the one final target, which, each one of us is going to reach.

If you look at the life of Krishna, there is nothing else other than celebration.

The entire life of Krishna is a celebration, a celebration only!

Krishna was the one, who, by his celebration itself, made all of his devotees, dissolve in celebration.

Krishna's this state of celebration, is the expression of his wisdom.

The wisdoms of all the mystics are similar. But the method of expression of that wisdom will be different and unique with each mystic. Buddha expressed his wisdom as a way of wisdom; Krishna expressed it as a celebration; Pathanjali expressed it as Yoga; Jesus expressed it as love; Meera expressed in her devotional bhajans (songs in praise of God).

It is true only that all methods of expression of wisdom will ultimately reach the Ocean of Bliss.

Still in conformity with the mental make-up of the man of those times, some methods happened to be the best. If you go through that path, the journey towards bliss will be rather easy.

Celebration is suited to the mental set-up of the present day man. The very attempt to celebrate life itself is a nice meditation technique. Krishna's celebration and Buddha's wisdom are the best wisdom paths for today's man.

That is why I say that today's man should reach the state of Krishna-Buddha.

Celebrate life. You will become a prosperous man.

Some may think, 'Amidst so many struggles, how can we celebrate? How is this possible at all?'

For this, it is enough if these words of wisdom are planted in the mind, and celebration would become possible:

'The end is in God's hands. You simply apply yourself in action.'

What a beautiful statement!

The reason for us to feel that life is a struggle is only the fear, 'What will happen in the future?'

If the truth that 'end is in God's hands' descends into the consciousness, why worry; Why fear? The unnecessary feeling of mental suffering, which has caught hold of you, will begin to disappear.

Feeling of mental suffering is not one related to life. It is related to our thoughts and feelings about life.

Celebration is related to inner consciousness.

It is not related to outer world comforts and luxuries such as property and the like.

But as far as we are concerned, since we wrongly believe deep in our minds that celebration is related to outer world luxuries and properties, we are not able to celebrate.

The antidote medicine is 'celebration' for the poisonous feeling, 'Oh! I am struggling in life.'

The end is in God's hands. Hence only simply applying yourself to life will stop the struggles of today's man.

Simply living does not mean a tasteless, uninteresting life.

Simply living is only a life-science approach of living without expectations and without any day dreams.

In fact, only this state is celebration. If the end is in our hands, interest of the game will be ruined.

'The end is in HIS hand. Life is in your hand. Celebrate! Celebrate!' -- Approach life as per this Tao song. You will be in bliss.

A Zen Master was asked, 'Where you live is an ordinary hut. Your affluent devotees have built you a mansion. And you live in this hut saying that these facilities are not needed. You are like a beggar to look at. What is the secret of this bliss that you enjoy?' – All these a writer had asked with wonder.

The Master said, 'That secret is contained in three lines.'

The writer became curious and asked, 'Is that so? Please tell us. Tell us.'

The Master said, 'Yes. When I eat, I eat. When I sleep, I sleep. When I live, I live.'

It is the general approach of the Zen Masters to give confusing answers to confusing questions.

What that Master said was out and out about Krishna's 'Simply apply yourself in the actions'. Krishna, who lived at the zenith of celebration, gives us the method, 'Simply applying oneself to the action'.

In other words, we must get dissolved only in the action that is being done at a given moment.

Going beyond the future and going beyond the mental sufferings about life, getting submerged or drowned in the action being done at a given moment will lead one easily to celebration.

Then only the mere words celebration and bliss will become experiences.

Can there be celebration only when there is an achievement?

Why should the key of celebration remain outside? If you have realized this, then you will be the king of celebration! Each and every incident of the life will be a festival! It will be an achievement!

It is only man's mental feeling that he is suffering that conceals these things from the inner eye. Begin to implement celebration practically in life.

In the beginning, the change has to be implemented in a conscious way. Every time we are confronted with a problem and the mind immediately tells us that we are suffering we have to consciously remind ourselves that it is not true and that life is a celebration. It may appear to be rather hard and difficult. Don't lose your heart.

Make the sagging, suffering feeling jump up with spirit. Do one thing at a time with full involvement.

Celebrate as a gift each and every minute God has permitted you to live and act. Celebration will be born. The state of 'Krishna-Buddha' will arise.

----------

A meaningful incident.

Understand the truth!

You will surpass even mental suffering as celebration!

A Sufi disciple thought, 'Why you make me alone suffer mentally like this? Is this your grace? Is your heart stone?' God appeared in his dream and asked him, 'The surgeon tears the skin, cuts the muscles and with blood oozing out continuously, he removes the tumour inside and throws it away. Is his heart stone?'

Continuing further God said,

‘Be a little patient, be with more awareness. You will cross over times of suffering. For your karmas, negative thoughts to dissolve and disappear, do meditation. You will touch celebration time.’

-----------

Meditation chisels. Chisel No.55.

‘Be blissful’ – this is a meditation. It is a truth. It is a blessing.

The meditation I want to give you as a gift is this.

How long you have to be in suffering?

Be blissful...

Take effort to be so...

You will be blissful only!

Sit relaxed and straight and try this...

In the same way as a milk packet is filled with milk, imagine that Bliss has filled up your whole body.

Fully and deeply, feel consciously, that every cell is submerged in Ananda energy or bliss energy.

Get yourself drowned in the conscious feeling of bliss which begins to bubble up.

Whenever you get time, do this. You will be blissful. You would have learnt its method also. The truth or promise I wish to tell you also is this only.

Man does all those things that are not required for being blissful. Slight change needs to take place for bliss to happen.

If the wheel of life and the wheel of character, which now roll towards suffering, are made to roll towards the bliss, the problem is solved. Turn it.

You will be blissful. Finally, I bless you, ‘Be blissful’ and I mark the starting point for your blissful life.

Be Blissful!

M.I.N.D.

MATTERS.

A Mind Matters Column The Mind of a Mystic.

Paramahamsa Sri Nithyananda Swami is a trim, healthy-looking young man with dark, shoulder-length hair. Handsome and polite, possessing an open manner and a wealth of curiosity, he could be any ordinary American college student.

The difference is that ordinary American college students do not wear saffron robes and turbans, have not experienced spiritual enlightenment and are not regarded as a teacher, healer and mystic by millions of people in all corners of the world.

A mystic? The term is not a bad fit for ‘Swami’, as he is known. Mystics, as popular culture tells us, have direct communion with God. Through means not understood or measurable, mystics are thought to have access to ultimate realities or truths. Picture a mystic and you will probably picture someone full of bliss, someone gifted with lofty thoughts and insights that the rest of us do not possess. The very presence of a mystic is thought to bring peace and healing to others.

That’s an apt description of Swami, a 27 year-old from South India. He is approached by thousands of people every year seeking relief from diseases and ailments that conventional medical approaches have not cured. Swami’s background lends him the air of a mystic too. He left his home as a teen, visited ashrams across India, immersed himself in philosophy, read extensively and mastered the art of meditation.

When Swami passed through Oklahoma City recently as one stop in his world travels, I asked him if he would let me use some of modern medicine’s newest technology to peer into his brain while he meditated. My goal: to understand measure and demystify what happens during the mystic phenomena. Swami, who believes that meditation, has a scientific basis, happily agreed.

The procedures Swami went through were administered by some of Oklahoma City’s finest and most experienced physicians, neuropsychologists and researchers: Drs. Fordyce, Ruwe and Higgins of the Jim Thorpe Rehabilitation Center Neuropsychology Department and Dr. Chacko of the PET Center of Oklahoma. These doctors were using technology they use with patients on a routine basis. When they look at images obtained by their technology, they know what’s normal and what’s not.

The results from testing Swami? Decidedly not normal!

Our first look into Swami’s brain was achieved with the help of a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) device. Unlike traditional diagnostic techniques that produce images of the body’s structure or anatomy, such as X-rays, CT scans or MRI, PET produces images of the function of the brain through the metabolic activity of the cells. An analog of glucose is attached to a radioactive PET tracer. The PET scanner then images the metabolically active brain areas at any given time.

In the case of Swami, the drug was intended to identify highly active areas of the brain in an alert and conscious state, in the early stages of meditation and during deep meditation.

The results of the PET scan tests were stunning. To begin with, the activity in the frontal lobes of Swami’s brain was significantly heightened, even in early meditation stages. The level of activity was several times higher than would be seen in the average human brain under any conditions. The frontal lobes are associated with the functions of intelligence, attention, wisdom and judgment.

When we then asked Swami to go into the deepest meditation state, there were two more remarkable findings.

First, the dominant hemisphere of Swami’s brain was more than 90 per cent shut down. It was as if Swami’s brain had packed up and gone on vacation. It was quiet and still, completely at peace... and Swami had made it so at will.

A second amazing aspect of Swami’s deep meditation was that the lower portion of his mesial frontal areas lighted up in a very significant way. This area roughly corresponds to the reputed location of the mystical ‘Third Eye’. When we later asked Swami what he was doing when the mesial frontal areas lighted up, he said he was opening his Third Eye.

Associated with both cosmic and inner knowledge, and thought to be a place of clarity and peace, the Third Eye is considered by many to be the seat of the soul. Were we seeing an indication that deep meditation can open an area of the brain responsible for communicating with the divine, looking deep into the mysteries of Self or creation? I believe the PET scan revealed what I call the brain's 'D-spot'. Whether you consider the 'D' in D-spot to stand for Delight, the Divine or even Dopamine (the chemical through which our bodies experience pleasure), initial indications are that meditation can stimulate it.

The second procedure we used to look into Swami's brain is known as Quantitative Electroencephalography or QEEG. QEEG measures electrical patterns in the brain, patterns commonly referred to as brainwaves.

There are four bandwidths of brainwaves, each different in speed, and each associated with a different state of mind. For instance, beta brainwaves are small and fast and linked with an awake, alert state of mind. Alpha brainwaves are slower and larger and are connected to feelings of well-being. Theta waves represent a state of consciousness that is close to sleep, a stage in which there is a sense of calmness and serenity without active thought.

In a day's time, most people will experience all four types of brainwaves. The progression from one bandwidth to another, though, is not so easily in their control.

From Swami's QEEG, though, we can see that he has complete control over his brainwaves. When in deep meditation, his brain smoothly shifted from one state to another like a talented pianist playing the scales. There was no hesitation and no retreating, just continuous, fluid shifts from one type of brainwave to the next. Because the QEEG represents the five brainwave bandwidths as colors, it was as if we were watching Swami float from color to color within a rainbow!

The brain is the body's most complex organ, containing more than 100 billion neurons, each of them in chemical and electrical conversation with up to 10,000 other neurons. Its sheer capacity to process information is astonishing. Remarkable, that complexity presents little difficulty for Swami in managing his brain activity. Swami's mind - his thoughts, emotions and intellect - control his brain. He can, in a very fluid, easy way, shift his brain function and alter his brainwaves.

More than answering questions, the voyage we took into the mind of a mystic brings intriguing questions for study.

Are there techniques we can learn and teach that will bring balance and peace into people's lives?

Can we invoke a healing response or accelerate healing through specific training? Can we learn techniques that will allow us to control pain or alter the course of a disease?

Can we learn to activate what I call our D-spot, thus putting us in instant connection to delight or the divine?

The results from our study of Swami are new pages in our world's growing book of research on the brain. There continue to be indications that the human mind may be able to choose to heal the body. We are now looking at the possibility of people learning and acquiring these healing capabilities, an event of immense benefit for humankind. The potential for altering the rates and progression of many diseases - heart disease, cancer, arthritis, alcoholism and many others - is beginning to look achievable.

Swami is a bridge between the invisible, ancient world of mysticism and the modern, visible world of science and discovery. As brain research continues on a widespread basis, and as we appropriately bring the phenomena of mysticism into the realm of science for further study, we are taking strides on a path of hope and health.

----------

Free Gurukul education of one year duration. It is proposed to conduct the 'Art of living education' at Dhyanapeetam, Salem, under the Gurukul system with free food, dress and accommodation. This is for living a blissful life and is intended for the youth, both boys and girls, aged between 18 and 30, with their parent's permissions and who are interested in spirituality.

The syllabus for the Ananda Yoga course includes:

Those who wish to be blissful and make others also blissful are welcome.

Those who wish to get benefited by Ananda Yogam education, may send their photo and bio-data in a white paper and you may send your applications to Dhyanapeetam, Salem or Dhyanapeetam, Bangalore. (For address, see page.........)

Dhyanapeetam is located at Bidadi on the Bangalore - Mysore Road in beautiful, natural and scenic surroundings.

In the Ashram, services such as Dhyana healing, teaching of meditation and free poor-feeding are being rendered.

Dhyana Healing. (Ananda Healing)

The main reason for all sorts of diseases is that the energy contained in the seven chakras of our bodies does not properly reach our bodies.

Ananda Dhyana healers in the Dhyanapeetam will find out and tell you as to which chakra out of the seven chakras is affected in you.

Based on the Vedas of the Rishis, audio cassettes under the title “Manthra Therapy” series have been made out, containing the healing vibrations specifically suited for each of the chakras.

Further, individually selected meditation techniques are taught freely in the Ashram.

The following have been formulated by Sri Paramahamsa Nithyananda:

For the 7 chakras in our body - 7 separate meditations.

For the 7 subtle bodies within our body - 7 different meditations.

Specific meditations are taught to each of the patients depending upon his problems relating to his body, mind and his qualities.

There are many, who, after undergoing the Dhyana healing properly and after becoming healed completely, exclaim with wonder, “How is it that I have been healed so quickly!?”

If you want to stay in the ashram itself and undergo the healing process please register yourself a few days in advance, duly contacting Dhyanapeetam by telephone.

Because meditation corrects the energy deficiency, which is the root cause for all types of problems, whatever be the disease, meditation will give the relief from that.

Ananda (Dhyana) healing:

Ananda Dhyana healing is only that most modern healing method in which the deficiency of energy in the patient is corrected by giving the energy from within us.

This healing is being given at Dhyanapeetam on all the days round the year by the healers who have been personally taught by Sri Paramahamsa.

The yogis do this holistic healing all through the year to all those who come with problems of body, mind and their qualities.

To those who stay in the ashram and take the healing, continuous healing is given by Ananda healers.

Healing energy environment.

It is rather sad that many are not at all aware of this spiritual truth.

The reason for the crowd of people being always present around Rishis and enlightened masters is only on account of the Ananda energy field being released from and around them.

Ananda energy has the capacity to give peace. It has the healing capability.

In the same way as the magnetic field around a magnet attracts the iron by sending its magnetic attracting force to it, the Ananda energy field created by the enlightened masters around them only attracts people around them. It heals people; it makes them joyful.

In the same way as an electric current can induce magnetism in a wrought iron piece and make it retain its magnetic powers, an enlightened master can energize a specified area of land or a material. This is called ‘PRANA PRATHISHTA’. It is possible for an enlightened master to retain the Ananda energy continuously for a certain distance in an ordinary land. It is a subtle truth.

Nithyanandapuri, where Dhyanapeetam is located, is one such energized plot of land. This land is full of Ananda Energy. Staying for a few days in such land spaces which have been so energized is equivalent to remaining by the side of an enlightened master. Staying for all the 24 hours in the midst of such energy flow will go beyond our minds and work inside our bodies.

Those who come along with patients as escorts for them ask me many times, “I had a particular problem; I did not undergo any healing. But I have been cured. How is it possible?”

The answer is that there is no sort of magic or miracle in this. Whatever change occurs in you is entirely scientific. It can be easily understood.

Everybody has a deficiency of energy. When such a deficiency of energy remains in an energized area for all the 24 hours, it is totally filled up with energy.

Once the reason for a problem becomes all right, the problem is corrected. That is all.

Each one of you should experience such matters at least once in your life-time. You should enjoy the flow of energy atom by atom.

Meditations.

The following meditations are taught to the public in Dhyanapeetam. Those who want to learn meditations can do so after duly getting prior permission from the ashram:

Annadhana.

Poor-feeding, educational assistance for poor students and free medical aid are being done well on behalf of Dhyanapeetam.

About the second research done on Paramahamsa's wisdom revelations.

(From the website www.dhyanapeetam.org)

'Ananda Healing' (Meditative healing) has become a science accepted by the medical field.

❖ Astounding observations of medical research inside....

Paramahamsa arrived 'St.Louis' in Missouri State of U.S.A. on April 12th, 2005. Neurofeedback specialist Dr. William Collins met with Paramahamsa on April 14th, 2005.

Dr.Collins requested Paramahamsa to permit him to measure and analyze the brain activity of swamiji and a patient at the time when Swamiji was healing the latter.

Swamiji readily and pleasantly agreed to his request.

Spirituality and science joined hands.

Ananda healing, being a very great solution for the problems of body and mental pains, the words expressed by a greatly surprised Dr.Collins, as he came out of the hall after completing his research studies, were: "The world is not going to believe this!"

❖ The details of the research conducted on April 14,2005:

The patient's name was David. He was injured in a car accident 10 years back. From that time onwards, his nerves for enabling body movements were not functioning all right. Dr. Collins, with the help of sophisticated instruments concerned with neurology, examined the functioning of brains of both Paramahamsa and David at various stages.

Some of the photographs taken during the research are given here for your viewing:

The testing was done in four stages:

1. When Paramahamsa and David were resting.

2. While Paramahamsa was meditating by himself.

3. While Paramahamsa was healing David.

4. When Paramahamsa released the healing energy without any specific target,

Some of the findings as discovered by Dr. Collins, while Paramahamsa was in the process of healing:-

1. When the meditative energy was coming out of Paramahamsa, his right brain was working very greatly than his left brain. (Right brain is capable of acting very intelligently. For taking a decision, the right brain will take only half a second. The right brain's action is faster than the left brain).

The right brain is related to 'Timeless experience'.

It is only in the right brain that great thoughts and quick thinkings happen).

Dr.Collins says with wonder that the right brain which is so much great, getting many times active while meditative energy is released, is very surprising).

2. While he is healing, there is limitless energy overflowing from Paramahamsa. But he is not tired. (That is, the huge amount of energy which came out of Paramahamsa cannot get formed in a person who is at rest. In case, so much energy overflows in a person, his body cannot bear it. Result: He has to get swooned and fall down only. But at the end of healing, it is surprising to see that Paramahamsa is energetic and enthusiastic, says a wondering Dr.Collins.)

The discoveries made by Dr. Collins about the functioning of David's brain while he was undergoing the healing:-

1. As the meditative healing energy began to flow to David, high frequency waves began to form in David's brain.

2. These high frequencies did not decrease till the healing was over. (These high frequency waves will get formed only when many of the brain cells get attached firmly with one another). 3. Referring to the high frequencies, Dr.Collins says: "World is not going to believe this. This is a new phenomenon for the current medical practice. This much of high frequency getting formed is possible only if some one jumps into the brain suddenly and gives connections to the millions of cells there." It is puzzling that this happens to a person in a peaceful resting state.

4. If we have to give an example for the energy formed in the brain of David, while he was undergoing healing...

Whatever amount of energy a person may require to run as fast as he can continuously for 20 minutes, that much of energy came gushing into his body.

Dr.Collins said, "When so much of energy gushed into David, unable to bear it, he should have swooned and fallen down. But no such thing happened. At the end of the healing, when David said, "I have to get up and have a walk" it took us to the peak of our surprise" said he.

At the end of the research study, Dr.Collins noted:-

1. Ray of meditative energy flows from Paramahamsa.

2. Meditative energy creates millions of connections within a second in the brain of the patient David.

3. Even after the healing was over, the new connections which were formed in David's brain remained in tact.

4. When Paramahamsa was asked how the patient's brain also became like Paramahamsa's, he said, "In ordinary state, cosmic energy, patients and I will all be separate. At the time of healing all become one. That's why..." said Paramahamsa.

Both these say the same idea. That is 'Every thing is energy'.

7. Page 31. Most liked meditation seed for the inner world...

18. Page 46. What do you try to give to the other person?

At all those times when you create a feeling of guilt in the other person, you live with feeling of guilt only.

At all those times when you create a feeling of comfort in the other person, you live with a feeling of comfort only.

Give goodness to live in a good manner!

19. Page 47. For your bad qualities, the one that gives energy again and again are your guilty feelings and fear only.

20. Page 49. Do not scorch the freedom of others!

21. Page 50. You live in a world which is full of freedom and which is also full of cunningness.

22. Page 53. The measure of dispute is a measure of lack of discrimination. One who has the sense of discrimination cannot allow dispute to flourish.

23. Page 54. A fool; a wise man; - Both will not resort to disputes. Reason: For a fool it is not possible. For a wise man it is unnecessary. What type are you?

24. Page 55. If the intellect, energy and time spent on disputing is saved, the intellect, energy and time needed for achieving will be available more.

25. Page 56.

Just do only one thing. That is enough. Dispute for any thing and every thing.

28. Page 60. Love is a temple bell which invites and brings god.

29. Page 63. Artistry is the divine honey which makes life incidents as tasty dishes.

30. Page 64. Don't become stirred up by seeing the sea of misery! If misery comes, dive like the pearl diver; there are corals and pearls called maturity lying there in plenty. Do it and see... You will not drown in misery. You will know the art of getting maturity.

31. Page 65. Healthy quality containing artistry, as you acquire more and more of it, your... skin will become shining; muscles will become soft; face blooming; walk a dance; talk humour, body will become light, mind will become enthusiastic and life will become blissful.

32. Page 66. True artists are those who touch the blissful energy centers within them again and again. You too can touch the bliss! If you become an artist of the art of living...

33. Page 67. "In the year 2003 alone, 8.3 million Americans had undergone Plastic surgery treatment."

Even if the skin becomes fair, unless the quality becomes nice.... 'fineness' will not obtain its fullness.

34. Page 68. I will not request, "Oh! God, give me refuge from dangers" I will ask Him only to give fearless maturity to face the danger. -- Rabindranath Tagore. Oh God! Just put only a dot in my intellect. Laying the road is my job. -- An ascetic's statement. Do not wait, saying, "God will tear open the roof and pour down every thing." When it is possible for you to even the road itself, then why don't you put the dot also yourself too!

Don't ask for maturity. It is there already with you. Begin to bring it out. Firstly you will become an artist. At last, you will become an enlightened person.

35. Page 69. Words, action, facial expression, thought - Blend the artistic aspect with all these four. There will be no need to celebrate life separately. Life itself would have become a festival.

Blend the art.

37. Page 72. In order to taste the bliss... As you reside in your head, you will have to displace yourself to the heart.

38. Page 75. The things that decide whether you are a slave or a lord are not those which are outside - money, position or fame. It is only the intelligence within you which decides.

39. Page 76. Intelligence will make even a slave as a lord. Lack of intelligence will make even a lord as a slave.

40. Page 77. The one and only capital investment made by all those who were once poor and became very rich, was intelligence. What is your capital investment?

42. Page 79. "We learn by doing."

43. Page 80. • Intelligence is my weapon.

• For an able man, even grass is weapon.

• For an intelligent man, weapon is unnecessary.

• Mesial frontal lobe is a part of the brain which is directly connected to intelligence. It is a truth which has been proved by the medical world that meditation would make this part of the brain function very enthusiastically. When that part becomes very active... Weapon will become needless. Along with that you will learn the necessary subtle skills to achieve any thing harmoniously and to live comfortably under any type of circumstances.

47. Page 90. If a person does not get maturity in his qualities, even if he is an old man, he is a small boy only. If a person possesses maturity of qualities, even if he is a small boy, he is equal to an aged old man only!

48. Page 91. Men who change colours, do not at all observe their colours changing, to the extent they observe the changing of colours of other persons. At least you can observe. Is it not....

49. Page 93. Grasp... Quality will mature!

50. Page 97. Energy will be going on getting wasted through the mental hole of 'boasting'!

51. Page 98. Until one does not understand his own greatness, both smallness and greatness will attack him alternately.

52. Page 99. Once a person scolded Buddha very badly. Buddha maintained silence. Having remained calm and allowed him to scold until he got tired saying, "What more is there for me yet to scold him, Buddha asked the man who scolded him, "If you are giving a gift to some one and if he refuses to accept it, to whom will that gift return?" That man said, "To me." Buddha said, "I don't accept what all you scolded me." That man felt mentally troubled!

-- I scolded because he scolded. I hit because I was hit. Such explanations are foolish.

It is childish, for you also to do the very same mistake what the other person did.

53. Page 100. No sound will arise without two hands clapping. No quarrel will arise unless both persons get equally irritated.

However much one hits merely with one hand no sound will come. The hand only will be paining. If some one tries to irritate you, and if you learn to continu-ously be patient, calmly speak and act, no quarrel will arise.

The one who tries to irritate will himself get irritated.

But, still no harm will be done mutually between him and us. This is a meditation.

-- When you are driven to 'get irritated' remain with awareness. Continuously be calm. You will see meditation happening.

54. Page 101. By nature you are all very nice persons. What is the need for you to stoop to such a low level to live by boastful talking? Think about it.

55. Page 104. Simplicity. It is strength!

56. Page 108. Do you know the truth, 'You are not as you think what type of person you are'?

57. Page 109. Sit straight. Meditation will happen.

The human mind of today is not 'simple' as the human mind of those days long ago. For many, sitting straight itself is difficult. For meditation to happen while it is so...???

For the mind which has become spoiled in very many ways to be made all right, alchemy should happen quickly.

58. Page 110. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

59. Page 110. Absence of sound will not become calmness. Mere absence of sound is the silence of the burial ground.

60. Page 111. Peace is one thing that man has not experienced. That is a bliss energy state of conscious feelings and life-flow. It is a state of god.

61. Page 112. Shutting up the mouth and taking bodily rest are not peace. When mind comes to rest, man meets peace for the first time; becomes god. Go beyond attitudes and work hard for the mind to come to rest.

62. Page 113. Simplicity is an art. Simplicity is sweetness. Human life's novelty! It is only those who are simple, know how to live. • In a storm, it is only those sturdy trees which stand tall and erect that are uprooted and thrown. Simple grass merely bends. It escapes.

63. Page 115. Tightness is an experience of hell.

64. Page 116. In a natural living, tightness will die.

65. Page 119. A man who deserves to be hated, is in some way, deserves to be loved. Otherwise will you be thinking of him again and again, saying as reason, 'He is a man whom I hate'? -- Secret of the deep mind.

66. Page 120. Every movement of yours shakes the universe itself. -- Vedic Secret. If an electron is moved, the universe itself shakes. -- Quantum physics.

67. Page 121. If desires are not enjoyed... Today's desire, tomorrow's frenzy! Today's frenzy, tomorrow's hatred!

Enjoy. You will get liberation.

68. Page 122. It is not possible to separate saying, 'We are different and present time is different.'

69. Page 123. The more your desire, the more you suffer. The more you shed desire, more blissful you are. -- Thirumoolar. * As the desires spread their branches, suffering will build the nest. Frenzy and hatred will hatch the eggs. Either leave the desire or enjoy it. Leave, you become Yogi; Enjoy, you become meditator. Whatever you do, you become blissful.

70. Page 125. As awareness adds up, 'waiting' – your turning point!

71. Page 128. "Even suffering is your own 'self-selection'! Without your desire, even 'bliss' cannot 'enter within you'. So 'you yourself' do the selection. -- Tao. * 'You' is ego. As it attracts only small, small pleasures... suffering comes as a by-product!

72. Page 129. The thing which feeds the drive for enjoying again and again what is already enjoyed... are those which are enjoyed in small measure only. Hence, they are petty pleasures.

73. Page 130. Petty pleasures – Net. Bliss – Wave. Nature of net is that it will entrap. Nature of wave is that it will things along with it.

74. Page 131. For the sake of desire, don't destroy the body.

75. Page 133. Suffering is a sleeping lava of volcano!

76. Page 134. Know the dept, length and height of suffering... It will be a sketch to help remove the accumulated mud etc.

77. Page 137. Until the fact 'Don't know' is not understood, - the meaning of life will not also be understood. The reason for having born will not also be known.

78. Page 138. A person who knows all things will never exhibit that he knows all things. -- Wisdom.

79. Page 139. It is inevitable, for a person who does not know any thing, exhibiting himself that he knows all things. -- Ignorance.

80. Page 140. Only a person who does not know about himself fully, will be very eager to examine thoroughly according to his own views, the quality, walk, dress and behaviour etc. of others to know about their shortcomings.

81. Page 141. Man does not know about himself to even half the extent of what he knows about others. Why? Find the answer. The subtlety to change your fate itself is hidden in this answer!

82. Page 142. What all is known shrinks within 'what is not known'. -- Subtlety-1

83. Page 142. What all is not known lies shrunk in 'what is known'. -- Subtlety-2

84. Page 143. I never fail to grasp and notice the abilities of the enemy. I will also not fail to praise what I grasped and make the enemy my friend. -- Statement of Samurai. • The mind is a big enemy not known to you yourself! Estimate correctly the enemy who created enemies and sufferings to you. If this enemy becomes your friend, the 'mesmerizing quality' of making an avowed enemy as your friend will cling on to you.

85. Page 145. Meditate upon peace and open space. Piercing through will become easy.

86. Page 148. Those who make others suffer will not go to hell. Because... They are already in hell. That is why they behave like that.

87. Page 149. It is only the deep mind's unjust opinions about what is just and what is unjust, which changes even a just person as an unjust one.

88. Page 150. Your mind creates your world as per your own calculations of what is just and what is unjust. For that world to change, it is enough if your calculations change.

89. Page 151. Are you a just person? Or an unjust person? Answer - Don't say immediately. Discuss with those who are with you. You will come to know about you yourself which you have not known. Do and see.

90. Page 153. Before one mends, scold! After mending, still tackle!

91. Page 154. Avoiding distress - Penance!

92. Page 157. Being extremely eager to talk about the dirty things in other person's conduct is only a very dirty conduct. • Let him save himself. You save yourself. If these change places, it is dangerous to both only!

93. Page 158. You would say, "He is a fool". He would say, "You are a fool"... -- A Zen statement. • You think others are suffering. Others think you are suffering

94. Page 159. This is a secret of yours. Whatever deficiencies and evils you say or wish to say about others are actually the mirrors which show you as a photograph of your own secret nature. • You find out easily as to which type you are.

95. Page 160. It is myself... I find intolerable. -- Leo Tolstoy. The statement of Leo Tolstoy is a real view. It is not possible to believe for a person who sees within himself for the very first time. It will make you become surprised, "Is it within me? Is it within me! So much of rubbish." Excavate yourself. You will understand

96. Page 160. Look at yourself.

97. Page 161. It is possible for one type of chameleon to see two sights with both the eyes at the same time. For man, it is impossible.

One can never see a man as a little good and a little bad! Even if one sees, it cannot be a truth.

98. Page 162. Do you know this? It is only sub-conscious mind's opinions about your own self, which you will be going on saying as 'your opinions' about others, and depending on the time, place and person concerned, you will be saying that differently every time. This is mind's play.

99. Page 163. For a person who has begun to see himself, where is the time to see others? When this occurs, that one will occur. That one is... People will appear very nice.

100. Page 165. Descriptions are the rockets propelled by the illusory mind.

102. Page 169. While donating... Say, "Thanks for giving me an opportunity to give!" Feel it consciously. Otherwise... Pride will raise its ugly head saying, "See, how much I have given." Hereafter, when you donate, be very, very careful.

103. Page 170. To be comfortable in this world, and also in the 'inside', 'understanding' should blossom fully.

104. Page 171. Desiring to be without desires is Spiritual ego. -- Subtlety 1. Desiring to be without desires is equal to leaving the monkey and having caught the demon. -- Subtlety 2.

105. Page 172. A man was walking here and there within a boat. When the boatman asked him as to why he was walking, why couldn't he sit down..., it seems he said, "Keep quiet. I am going urgently going to the other side of the river." • Though he was in the boat, he did not enjoy the boat-ride. Though man is in the body, he does not enjoy life. Reason: It is only the pungency of the mind which produces the hurry, not allowing him to be at ease! -- Dissolve that pungency.

106. Page 173. The divine nectar which reduces the pungency of the mind is understanding.

107. Page 174. As you become fire, you will become you. • You – Ego • you – Atman (soul).

108. Page 176. Even being a beggar is a wonder that happens as per one's own desire only.

109. Page 177. The mind desires to live in a dull manner. The reason: The quality of dullness called 'Thamas'.

110. Page 181. 'Meditation' is an inner-world guide which takes one beyond mind and beyond quality and which leads you up to bliss.

111. Page 181. The ideal of meditation is only to pluck the mind of its job opportunities.

112. Page 182. The mystic's anger – Merciful rays which radiate at the right time, and in the right manner, to burn off the roots of ego of the mature disciple.

113. Page 183. Nature gives permission for all things. For living, for suffering, why, even for dying! Which one do you permit?

You are searching for god. Not a wonder but truth.

116. Page 187. You are not yourself at all. If so, who are you...?

117. Page 188. Your trying to change yourself is a simple one appearing hard. Meditate deeply on this idea... You will begin to live.

118. Page 191. Only in the dictionary, Bliss, Energy and Intelligence will come before meditation. In practical life it is quite the opposite only. -- Greatness of Meditation.

119. Page 192. Meditation formula. See only as a witness.

Mental scenes.

120. Page 193. Wake up, kill... To awaken!

121. Page 193. Just remaining peacefully only is 'Meditation'. Even while remaining without doing any thins and feeling comfortable is 'Bliss.' The subtleness of remaining peacefully only is 'enlightenment'.

122. Page 194. For doing meditation, select morning instead of evening. Without keeping it aside as a last daily activity, do it as the first work and complete it.

123. Page 195. The divine nectar which prevents before the onset of diseases and mental pains, and remove them after they have already come, is Meditation.

126.Page 201. Do not give away your rights! The wisdom energy which roams about throughout the limbs of the body! The bliss of deeply enjoying all things Peace, which remains undisturbed, whatever happens!

-- This is man's birth right.

127.Page 202. Subtle rules for meditation alchemy.

128.Page 203. Even what is impossible will be possible. Enlightened master is not one who has come over to tell you "It is possible by you." To easily do and finish even that which is not possible by you, the person who has come over to show and feed you with necessary intellect, energy and the path, is only the enlightened master.

129.Page 204. The paths to enlightenment can be explained step by step like ordinary scientific formulae. It can be learnt easily as an interesting lesson. From the second you become an enthusiastic student!

130. Page 206. The teacher is one who wakes up the teacher who is within you.

131. Page 207. A + B = C. You + Awareness = Enlightenment.

132. Page 210. Do not go to those masters who tell you not to go other masters.

134. Page 212. One who tests the master is a spectator. One who has recognised the master is a devotee. One who has understood the master is a disciple.

136. Page 214. Let all hear the wisdom doctrines. Let the desire to listen to that blossom in all. -- Emperor Asoka. Do not read the wisdom doctrines. Drink. -- Zen statement. Wisdom doctrines are not ones which smoothly descend in you. They are...

Very strong chisels called 'wisdom of self-realization'! It is only passing beyond unnecessary logical arguments and implementing them practically, is 'Drinking' and is beyond mere reading. Do it and see. It will sculpt you as a very nice person.

138. Page 220. One can just spend time saying "I am worshipping god's picture" without the happening of surrender at all. One cannot spend time with god in human form and with a divine man, without the happening of surrender.

139. Page 221. Until surrender happens, man will be searching god. The very moment surrender happens, god will come running in search of the man.

140. Page 222. 'Surrender' has got the strength to work deeply upon ego.

141. Page 223. Which is surrender?

142. Page 224.

-- In some way or the other, man goes on fighting. It is only the inside mental unrest that has changed man as one without peace. Until such time the inner peace is not born... it is only the outer peace which would affect him first. For total rest and for relief from fatigue, man should get inner peace even by fighting with his own self. Till then, man will only wish to bother others.

Bother the botheration. Surrender will happen.

143. Page 227. Bad happens, when you oppose.

144. Page 228. For good to happen... It is enough to let it happen whatever good is presently happening.

146. Page 233. More than those beloved ones who praised your words and actions, first of all express your gratitude to those bad people who pointed out your mistakes on your face. -- Socrates. • In shaping you up, more than your friends, it is only your enemies, who play a major role in it.

147. Page 234. It takes a lot of maturity and courage to point out the rights of the enemy and the wrongs of the friend.

148. Page 235. To get maturity, become closer. In a crowded bus, if you step on somebody's foot, you would ask for excuse in a polished manner saying, "Oh, it is too crowded". In the home, if you step on some elder's foot... you will bow down, touch his feet, respect him and ask for pardon. In a room, if you step on a friend's foot, you would not ask for excuse. You would just smile. -- If you step on your son's foot... you would not even bother at all. As the closeness increases... customs become meaningless! Right, wrong, fairness, unfairness do not at all come into picture. Reason: The conscious feeling of increased affection which has formed in you is so much mature.

149.Page 241. The wax doll created by relatives is the human quality. That is why I say, that the wax doll can be beautified. You yourself can very easily chisel and shape it.

150.Page 242. Way to live a pleasant life. "As long as the closeness between you and yourself is less, it is not possible for you to become close with any one." -- Sufi teaching.

152.Page 244. For a man, who has perfected his mind, Joy will follow him like a shadow. -- Dhammapada.

153.Page 245. When you meet with god... Words would become meaningless. Movements would become unnecessary. Thoughts would become useless. Achievements would become ordinary. Even just keeping quiet also would become comfortable.

155.Page 249. Redeem yourself from the drive. The balance life will be in your hands.

156.Page 252. Thoughts are the bones of the mind.

157.Page 253. To correct the bones of the body is difficult. But, bones of the mind can be corrected easily.

158.Page 254. For a man to be a king or a useless person, it all depends on the thoughts which have already entered in him or which are going to enter in him.

159.Page 255. The mind which we have today is an unsculpted rock. If decided, through awareness, we can sculpt the mind and create a healthy mind.

160.Page 257. You are a lion caged in a door-less cage!

161.Page 258. You are a king who has come to live singing 'Aha' and dancing!

162.Page 261. It is easy for a girl friend to become a wife. But it is hard for a wife to become a girl friend. The second one is possible only for a man who lives his life at the peak!

163.Page 262. Those who consider Krishna as a spiritual master; the devotees who are extremely eager to receive wisdom and bliss from Krishna, who is a person of limitless spiritual liberality and those who possess the great feminine quality of receptivity in regard to accepting the truth with an open mind, -- all these persons are called 'Gopikas'.

164.Page 263. In any thing, never leave a balance.

166.Page 265. You are living, you have not heartily lived, Oh Heart! -- Thiruvachakam.

167.Page 266.

Love will make all sufferings and hardnesses which live in man to die. It will make softness and joy to blossom. Smell the peak of love. All will be understood.

168.Page 267. Living at the peak will make the boredom itself become bored.

169.Page 268. Even negative feeling can be made positive meditation.

170.Page 269. Whatever is enjoyed will not give the satisfaction of having enjoyed until the peak is touched!

171.Page 270. Touch the peak of enjoyment. The sight of bliss in the prize!

172.Page 273. The struggling mind of man is similar to the king 'Thuglak' who emptied his treasury by changing the capital again and again. If you are creating changes in your mind again and again in regard to a specific aim, then your treasury of energy and intellect will become empty. • For persons who grow, fixing up a firm target or aim, and gathering the energy and intellect required for that are very essential.

173.Page 274. One who is afraid of failures is unfit to achieve success.

174.Page 275. One who converts the failures as friends who give their shoulders as help, and the stumbling stones as stepping stones, gets the basic fitness to achieve success.

175.Page 276. Even without clarity, one can achieve. Achievements are possible only. But it won't give the satisfaction. Is achievement important? Or is the satisfaction important? Think...

176.Page 277. If the wave which has risen up looks down at the sea below with mockery... What will happen to its state next moment? Achieve. Even if you rise up to the height of Palmyra palm tree, do not forget that you are a wave risen up from god. -- Do not allow arrogance to come... Even to a small measure!

177.Page 278. Only that sapling, which has withstood all seasons and all weather conditions, grows into a tree. It is only those varieties of problems that will make you, a sandalwood sapling, as a costly tree! -- All are sandalwood saplings only! But how many saplings would become trees!?

178.Page 280. Life is a flower garden of celebration.

179.Page 281. External encouragements will not last long.

180.Page 282. For you to rise up for achieving, your energy and your intellect must rise up!

181.Page 285. Unless they themselves do not ask, persons who do not point out their mistakes in a painful manner are intelligent persons. -- You?

182.Page 286. It is wrong to rave saying, "I am a man who has done mistake, I am a sinner! I am a sinner!" It is also wrong to put the blame on others saying, "You are a man who has done mistake. You are a sinner. You are a sinner" and make them suffer with a guilty feeling.

183.Page 287. It is certain foolishness to attempt to mend a person who does not think of mending himself.

184.Page 288. A man's life-time is not long enough to commit all mistakes. Even a cruel man is not one who has done all mistakes. If a firm decision is taken saying, "I will not do the same mistake one more time again," even your Himalayan mistakes would be pardoned. -- Take the decision. Let mistakes miss themselves!

185.Page 289. One who is rid of guilty feeling, is a beautiful mansion where god happily comes and stays. It is a Raj Bhavan (Governor's residence), where VIPs like bliss, freedom and intelligence stay.

193. Page 300. Gambling, quarrel, dullness, worry, shyness, anger... -- There are not human qualities.

194. Page 301. What all have taken human bodies..., To become human, have to change a lot.

195. Page 304. You yourself affectionately control the tasting tongue. This is easy and good. If you do not control, the body will show its being ill-treated as a reason and give diabetes as a gift.

196. Page 305. It is tradition that if you don't take food at the correct time, our body will get tired. It is a truth that if we eat, our body will get tired, dullness will set in and we get sleep. If the body gets more tired after taking food as compared to before taking the food, then why do you eat food? Fault! Where...? Is it with the food?

Or is it with you? Find the answer.

197. Page 306. To theist. To your personal deity when food is offered, with what amount of devotion you would offer! Just recollect that...

With the same devotional feeling, it is only for the divine energy called life which resides inside through puja called eating you are making the offering!

So, while eating, eat with the same feeling of devotion and see. You will be filled up with the flood of rapture. Body will become a temple.

198. Page 307. To Atheist.

When you serve a feast to a person whom you like very much... with what amount of joy and love you will do it! With the same feeling live at every second you give food to your very close friend, namely your body. Rapture will bubble up. Body will become a pleasant mansion.

200. Page 309. Your body is not a factory to change the food into waste matter.

201. Page 312. You are not a lone island!

202. Page 313. Until you and yourself do not join, you are only a lone island!

203. Page 317. Body language is only an expression of the synchronization of the body and mind or the mutual agreement the mind and body.

204. Page 318. The hard mental work of the person who does not put in hard physical work is a sin!

-- Because of being an age of great intelligence, the physical labour has reduced. Result: The mind plays. The body has become tired. Physical labour done with awareness will keep the mind under control. For the modern man to be happy, For the mind to be kept restrained, the body must be made busy.

205. Page 319. 'Body language' is the sum total of the news that your seeing says + the news that your facial expression says + the news that your movements of your hand and feet say + the news which your style of sitting and the style of speaking say.

206. Page 320. Whatever we think to speak, we are unable to speak. Whatever we have spoken are not the ones we thought of speaking. -- Have you observed this peculiarity?

Reason is only want of knowledge of Body Language.

207.Page 321. However you may be, accept yourself as you are. This is a technique which will beautify your body language.

208.Page 323. One who does become the king of the mind, even after he becomes a king, he is still a slave only!

209.Page 324. Knowing to rule the dancing mind only is true governing.

210.Page 327. Making a stone as a garnet is not a wonder. Making a man as a great soul is a great wonder.

211.Page 328. A man becoming a great soul is possible only if a surgery happens in the man's natural disposition.

212.Page 329. Do not leave this, saying that it is rather strange to read. Whatever you have read, hold it in your mind. Examine deeply. Grip will leave you. No man lives his life at all. It is only those feelings, agitations and tiredness which rise up every now and then, that live. They utilize the innocent man's body, mind, energy, intellect and all for themselves.

213.Page 330. • Genius is nothing but a greater aptitude for patience. -- Benjamin Franklin. • Maturity which is past rising up is carefulness! Maturity which is past carefulness is patience! -- Hasid truth.

Touch patience... Peace of mind and satisfaction will jump up and catch hold of you. Having no other go, you will become bliss itself!

214.Page 331. This is also human nature! Men are intent only to grow up their qualities which are praised. If they receive scoldings or are slandered, they are only intent on taking revenge. Result – Alas...! It is sin! They learn the deception of not correcting themselves thinking to oppose the person who scolded and to take revenge on him. They spoil themselves. To bring a person close to you to correct path, Can we praise? Or scold? Now you can decide.

215. Page 332. It is only traveling from tiredness to rising up, from rising up to peace, which is maturity! Joy!

216. Page 333. Freedom from the idea of freedom is what true freedom is.

217. Page 334. Your carefulness has got the power to burn away even the anger of others. Let the carefulness pass beyond tiredness and rising up, grow and get blossomed.

218. Page 335. The word which makes one angry ... Inner distress. The one which brings it out ... Veda Mantra.

219. Page 338. The person who becomes afraid is only the one who does not have the courage face fear.

Because fear has become a habit, during emergencies, You seize fear itself continuously with the teeth of consciousness. During those times it would be enough if you bring up a little bit of carefulness. Instead of fear, you will bring courage under your custody.

223. Page 342. To live blissfully, to take decisions, 'courage' is necessary.

224. Page 342. To live blissfully, to take actions, intelligence is necessary.

-- Both wealth and poverty will kill ordinary man; will make him suffer. To live in these two extremes, wisdom is basic. that is why I would say, "You obtain enlightenment. Later you may get any thing. It won't affect you."

226. Page 345. Don't hesitate seeing hesitation.

227. Page 346. Jump up leaving hesitation.. Bliss will dance. Peace of mind will prevail. You will fall in the plain of wisdom where calmness is in full bloom. If you have the courage, examine this in your mind!

228. Page 349. Whatever we do again and again, we are that itself only! -- Aristotle.

229. Page 350. Whatever things we look at with pride, if god says that He would give them to us, even before his talk ends, we would refuse them. We would say, they are only to see and appreciate. -- Life secret.

231. Page 352. Because they do not know that they are fools, many fools live like intelligent persons. -- Truth II

232.Page 353. Deficiency of intelligence is foolishness.

233.Page 354. Dullness is foolishness.

234.Page 354. Whosoever you may be... If you are able to say... "I live satisfactorily. Even if I think back about the past times I have lived, satisfaction is not disturbed"..., you are intelligent only!

235.Page 355. In Hiroshima, to kill 1,80,000 people, only 0.02 second was required for that small atom bomb! The mental energy which created this atom bomb was faster than this. Very subtle. A perverted knowledge... If not used, the atom bomb will just keep quiet. But, if the mental energy is not used, it will become negative energy. Troubles given out by a lazy mind... In the world called body, it will be continuously showering the atom bomb called sufferings.

-- Pass beyond mind! Otherwise make use of the mind. Never ever allow it to be dull and lazy.

236.Page 356. The river will not come in search of you and flow. To quench the thirst, it is only you, who has to bend down and drink. Life is certainly sufficient enough to quench all your thirsts. It will quench your thirst depending upon to what extent you bend. --- Reach for it and catch the limitless bliss which is at a reachable distance. It will make all pleasures come in abundance from all the eight directions.

238.Page 359. Who is there to bell your mind?

239. Page 360. Doubt yourself... You will know the path of quality to live with a healthy body!

240. Page 363. Until the delightful quality of 'welcoming' is not born, 'suffering' will come and go as an often visiting unwanted guest.

241. Page 364. If tried, if desired, when one can get irritated, become happy and get disgusted for one and the same job, then, by whom or by which do the irritation, happiness and disgust come?

242. Page 365. The one that drives to welcome only good is: Growth-retarded mind! Even if bad comes, the one that welcomes it by saying, "Even this one coming is normal only" is the quality of a grown-up and blossomed mind! Add abundance in welcoming. Life itself will become one of abundance.

243. Page 366. God gave some stones to the man-child to play with. After stamping some of them as lucky stones, man discarded all the rest... and lamented saying, "I am blessed only to this much extent. I am unlucky." -- You say... Who is the reason for this lamenting? Is it the god or the man?

244. Page 368. True love is devotion filled worship.

245. Page 368. The person worthy of being worshipped... You worship truly! Then, will it be possible at all for you to hate him!

246. Page 371. The one born to deceive in the outer world, is the one born to be deceived in the inner world.

247. Page 372. If you talk very lovingly, some petty things you may beautifully achieve. "If you say, it is OK." "Oh! There is none like you at all!" "I always remember you!" "What a nice person you are!" "Hee... Hee... Tell me." -- Going beyond uttering such attractive words, if you talk truly, talk consciously feeling from deep inside your mind... whether you achieve some petty things or not, a wonderful, consciously blissful feeling will always be there with you.

248. Page 373. For your turn to come, even trying to use force is fraud only.

249. Page 374. Gather the life experiences you have crossed over for so long and make it into a book. Turn its pages and see. No Vedas more than that would be necessary. To find out frauds and weed them out, this Veda will help.

250. Page 375. Man lives only within the brain, which is in a corner of the body. This is an illicit relationship!

251. Page 376. In spite of you, nature is protecting you. That is why... digestion, blood circulation, why, even breathing also... to happen without any contribution of yours at all, God has made and kept all prior arrangements.

252. Page 377. Vacate that person who is an imitation and is wandering within you.

253. Page 377. The scorpions that sting the feeling of peace of mind are falsehood and fraud.

254. Page 378. Even if you ask with surprise: "Do I act as though I am suffering?" The reply: Yes, only. The mind which has lived grieving only all through, again and again returns to the same thing. The mind becomes afraid when it touches those blissful moments of life. It feels its death is approaching. This only is the reason for our becoming afraid while we go deep in meditation. Consciously realising this truth is itself a meditation only.

255. Page 379. Enough of this acting of suffering! Let this fraud disperse.

256. Page 381. Causing suffering, saying, "I am correcting" is falsehood.

257.Page 384. Inner nervousness will make a man become perplexed; will make you change your path for worse.

258.Page 385. Only he is a great soul, who possesses the qualities of modesty, clarity and affection, which cannot be expected of ordinary persons.

260.Page 387. Power will destroy (the equilibrium). -- Lord Acton. Through one who is out to destroy, 'Power' gets the energy and strength to destroy. -- Subtlety. Since there is no chance to become kings and torment people, man began to destroy himself by his power! He began spoiling his faithful body and knowledgeable mind which are under the boundaries of his power. Until you save your body and mind from the quality of power.. Do not rest at all.

261.Page 388. Spread yourself through your consciousness right up to the rootlet of inner nervousness. The inside will be repaired towards comfort. As comfort spreads in the inside, you will become a Digambara(God).

262.Page 390. During times of danger, fear and nervousness should not flow.

263.Page 391. It is only during those times of danger... when the quality of fearlessness flows. Live in that second with overflowing awareness. You will be honoured greatly in the inner world.

264.Page 394. What man has known as god and kept to himself is only a sum total of mere ideas and imaginations only!

266. Page 396. While you meditate, you become god. When you become god, you would remain in meditation itself.

267. Page 397. There is god! There is no god! Those who hold on to one of these two lines are not intelligent. Is there God? Where is He?

268. Page 398. Great power to burn out all sins, all karmas, and to make earth into garnet is hidden within every man. Are you prepared to become a garnet?

270. Page 403. Do not dream that you would go to the heaven after death. It won't happen. Because, already you are in heaven only.

271. Page 404. Getting enlightened is not a new experience. Beware! At any time, you may become enlightened. During your life-time, many times, in many incidents, you are touching your Atman (Soul). Just like the bird, Indian skylark, which goes on searching for the sky, suddenly realising consciously, "Oh! Is this only the sky?", similarly you may also become an enlightened person.

272. Page 405. As long as god is imagined as an individual, god will not be understood.

273. Page 406. Bending, is for straightening up!

274. Page 407. Until surrender does not happen, "All He will look after" is only a consoling statement.

276. Page 410. The seeds, this book sows, depending upon the depth at which it falls, the speed with which it grows, and the time at which it will sprout up, will be decided.

277. Page 413. Trouble is also a path for limitless bliss only!

278. Page 414. There is no other victory at all in this world which is equal to conquering the power of illusion (Maya).

279. Page 415. To be destroyed is to be renovated. -- Lao Tzu. The statement of Lao Tzu may appear contradictory. But what he says is a formula to straighten up what is contradictory. If you wish to change as a new person, a compulsion will arise to destroy many things which roam about within you. If you leave it without destroying today, tomorrow it would destroy you. Warning: Destroy what is destroying.

The one that is destroying is Maya, illusion! Let the illusion vanish

280. Page 416. Our life, which is from birth to death is only a prolonged dream! It is possible to wake up even from this dream. But, it is impossible to wake a person up. Get up from sleep. Let the sleep go away. Let the suffering also go away.

281. Page 417. Ninth mystic power. Magic art of subjugations... Anima, Mahima, Laghima, Garima, Prapti, Prakamya, Isitva, Vasitva - These are eight siddhis. These eight siddhis or powers are varieties of energy play which come in the path of enlightenment. All these will help to bring all things not under our control to come under our subjugation. But... Strange! These siddhis cannot subjugate the self. Those who get caught in the siddhis are persons who get caught in the net spread out by the mind. To bring one's own mind under subjugation is ninth siddhi. It is unique intellect.

282. Page 418. What is learnt is handful only! Is that handful gold or clay? Life is just a water bubble! That one What is lived... Is it a life in hell? Or a life in heaven? Deliver the judgment only for this. Let the illusion come to light!

283. Page 419. Affection is a disguise of the mind.

284. Page 420. Whatever is seen by the eye is a lie. Whatever is heard by the ear is lie. Knowing after a thorough enquiry is also lie. Getting clarity after deep conscious understanding is only the truth!

285.Page 421. While sleeping where do you go?

286.Page 422. You can awaken a person saying even seven times. "Wake up, "Wake up, Wake up." But it is that person who has to wake up!

287.Page 425. Just because you have uttered the words, "There is god", you cannot become a theist. Until the words have not become an experience, theism has not occurred.

288.Page 425. Devotion does not belong only to theists.

289.Page 426. To the dear atheist... Devotion is the sum total of faith and respect which you have on your principle. Devotion is important. It is more important than the thing over which devotion is directed. If the devotion comes over whatever thing or over whatever, it is good only. That is a technique to create a sense of devotional feeling. If the devotional feeling comes at whichever place, at any time, over any thing, then and there meditation happens.

290.Page 427. Atheist meditation. Do not stop just getting caught in words net of 'There is no god'. Meditate with devotion to such an extent that those words change into experience. You will become enslaved by the blissful energy which is responsible for your life existence. 'What is truth' will arise.

291.Page 428. Atheist wisdom.

Pass beyond that there is no god! To be 'inside'! As you pass and remain inside... Bliss will come! Freedom will flow! Only when this occurs, atheism becomes complete. The utterance that there is no god is only a pain which has come to the tongue. Let the utterance become Veda. Let the inner comfort become your own. Let the truths become your possession!

292.Page 429. As the atheists trek up to the peak of atheism, and the theists trek up to the peak of theism with all sincerity in their respective paths, the peak that comes only is spirituality. It is... Bliss of individuality.

293.Page 430. One who is full with devotion is full with energy.

294.Page 430. When you pray, you pray to god. When you meditate, you are god.

295.Page 431. You can speak with your friends through cell-phone. You can speak with your god through god's idols.

296.Page 432. The one that cooks the truth as per the prevailing circumstances is religion.

297.Page 433. If you go to the temple, without fail, sit calmly and meditate for at least twenty minutes. Body, mind and soul all together will become enthusiastic. Do not fail to do so.

298.Page 434. As soon as the news was heard that earthquake was going to come, under the tree... Those who were sitting at the feet of Zen master became very active. While the people were running here and there, the master alone was sitting with the same joy and calmness. The disciple asked, "Oh master, the place where you are sitting may split up due to earthquake. .. So, to save yourself, run away to the open plain." "In case the place where I run and stand splits...? the master asked. Next second, the thought which came to the disciple made him sink into deep calmness. To him the inner path of bliss came to be known to him as it was at that second!

To become blissful, deep understanding itself is sufficient."

300.Page 437. Those temples which have been established by duly performing PRANA PRATHISHTA by enlightened masters only are energy centers!

301. Page 438. The place where the root energy which has created the entire world through light and sound is available... "Temples!"

302. Page 441. Do you know? During meditation one has to continuously be with awareness. This is 'Rule of meditation.' If this one alone is followed sincerely, enlightenment can be obtained.

303. Page 442. A ritual may become meditation. Meditation should not become ritual.

304. Page 443. Total dedication and the courage to apply practically in life the wisdom truths, both combined together is called "Shraddha" (sincerity).

305. Page 443. 'Shraddha' is the 'price' you pay to obtain bliss!

306. Page 444. Deceiving the one that deceives is best treasure. -- Truth I

307. Page 444. As far as meditation is concerned and as far as inner world is concerned, deceiving the deceiving mind is only just. To do this good job in the best manner, meditation will help. -- Truth II

If life becomes a life of meditation, for 'victory' to happen, to make it happen, all intelligences necessary will rise up.

309. Page 446. Do not wait, saying, "Proper time should come for me to change." Simply change. You will change.

310. Page 447. Sum total of many hues and thoughts only is the mind!

311. Page 448. Swim inside the body and see. We can float in the outer world.

312.Page 449. The birth place of thoughts is the abode of ego.

313.Page 453. In the game of hide and seek of human birth, having forgotten the eternal bliss is the beginning of the game, and attaining the eternal bliss is the end of the game.

314.Page 454. Birth is a shock! Death is a shock! In both of these, man touches the state of 'coma'. If death occurs with full awareness, man becomes enlightened. If birth occurs with full awareness, mystic should take an avatar as man. -- Subtlety.

315.Page 455. The one and only enthusiastic act done for the sake of rest, total rest, is meditation.

316.Page 456. "Whatever has to happen in whichever way, those are happening like that way only." Take this statement as it is. If this is understood deeply, the truth that can be understood is, "You only make all these things to happen." -- Extremely subtle secret.

317.Page 457. Only a meditator knows that there is no such thing as suffering at all.

318.Page 459. To obtain which one did you sell this?

319.Page 460. The world is a meditation field. Are you ready to play?

320.Page 463. As soon as it is clearly known 'Don't know', whatever has so far remained unknown will begin to be known! Whatever was not understood so far will begin to be understood. This is subtle truth.

321.Page 464.

In the inner world, Failure after many successes. That is - Death of ego! -- Hasid statement. • Only after knowing 99%, one can come to a conclusion as to what he knows and what he does not know. When the 1% 'do not know' adds up, 'known' gets full maturity.

Is this success? Or failure? Think.

322. Page 465. The things known to you only block the unknown god and un-understood bliss. -- Extremely subtle secret.

323. Page 466. Drive away the one who does not know. While crossing a river in a boat, if another empty boat collides with this boat... there is no possibility for the person who is traveling in the boat to get angry. But, instead of an empty boat, if there is a person in that boat, he will shout, "Why can't you row the boat carefully?" He will be angry. -- Suwangthasu. If you become like the empty boat, you can also live in this world with freedom. Nobody would even try to pick up a quarrel with you. The reason for your not being able to be like an empty boat is the other person who lives in you. Drive away that person who involves you in troubles. You can live in this world in a variety of ways.

325. Page 468. Know this. The man who controls and rules people rudely is in confusion. The man who is controlled and ruled is in sufferings. The way to get released from confusion and suffering... Do not bring anybody under your control! Do not be controlled by anybody! -- Suwanthasu. Learn to move with those close to you in an independent manner.

Is your nearness not affecting the independent feeling of others? Does it give them joy? If they say 'Yes'..., You are an enlightened person. There is no doubt at all.

327. Page 471. What is it that you do to yourself? Violence or non-violence? Do you know the answer?

328. Page 474. This is irrefutable truth. Those who have achieved are poor in the inner world. Those who have not achieved are poor in the outer world. • Richman outside. Beggar inside. Without entering inside, One who jumped outside! -- Tao song.

329. Page 475. We are born, grown, achieved.

330. Page 476. Persistent efforts and hard work do not determine achievement. Only clarity in thinking decides achievement. That is why, all those who toil, do not rise up. First of all... To obtain clarity in thinking, work hard.

331. Page 477. As the sufferings lessen, true achievement will sprout out.

332.Page 478. Achievement! What achievement? Without buying fuel, simply buying and accumulating car, ship and airplane, what is the use? Without gathering life's fuel of experiential energy... simply adding up thousands of comforts for getting satisfaction duly utilizing the five senses... what is the use? Intelligent persons will first of all take action only to gather fuel.

At least, while gathering the comforts itself, can you not gather fuel also!

Think! Take action!

333.Page 479. Success opportunities continue to slip away. Even if allowed to slip, still it continues to come. One who catches outside becomes Bill Gates. One who catches inside becomes Buddha.

You only have to try to catch it. Will you try?

335.Page 482. Oh man! You just roam about Forgetting for what work you have come... Do you understand this?

336.Page 485. Before achievement, spending time in dreams. After achieving, spending time in sufferings, What big difference is there between these two?

337.Page 486. Achievement is the beginning of defeat. Fame is the beginning of insult. -- Suwangthasu. Oh Human crowd! Dear Human crowd! Stop being washed away along with the crowds. You climb up, to fall down. As you climb up, look around once... Getting up and sitting on the throne is not a big matter. After sitting, what will you do?

If you do not know how to dance on it, It will become like gambling all the life you have run so far!

Blissful dancer you are. First of all learn to dance.

338. Page 487. An easy method to shake off laziness is achieving. That is all.

339. Page 488. Uniqueness of sea pigeon... It can sleep while afloat in water. It can also sleep in the air floating with its feathers and wings spread out. Even if it feels proud of its capability, sea pigeon is sea pigeon only. Even though man does Himalayan achievements, he is just man only. There is no relationship at all between achievement and bliss.

340. Page 489. 'I will celebrate after achieving' is a wrong thinking. 'I celebrate. So I wish to achieve' is a right thinking.

341. Page 490. The penance called meditation is a Kalpaka tree (a wish tree) which has the ability to give the necessary energy and intellect to obtain whatever you wish, as you wished for. --- Thiruvalluvar.

342. Page 491. Even while dying, the mystic laughs. Even while living, man suffers. --- Tao. "While leaving the body in the earth... not even one paisa can be taken along". -- Having known this truth, man has discovered a novel way. Instead of property, it can be converted to 'Punyams'! Donations and charity will surely add up to Punyams - For this life only. Even if one donates in crores, while leaving the body, they won't come along!

343. Page 492. From experience, I say firmly... While leaving the life, the only one material that can be taken along with the man is humanness. That is maturity. Increase that one. When you take the next body, it will come and help. To live beautifully and blissfully.

344. Page 495. Not only the art of living, Learning the art of dying is also necessary.

345.Page 496. Before you perish, come running! Before you perish get the remedy. Reason, even death is an auspicious happening only.

346.Page 500. Which one is duty? Which one is ignorance or folly? To kill one's own joy, for the sake of other's joy... Or otherwise, due to the abundance of one's own joy, make others also joyful... Find the answer.

347.Page 501. Only the ripe fruit will be plucked first. Only the tree which has grown straight will be cut first. Only those flowers which have fully blossomed will be picked first Unripe fruit, bent tree and the flower which has not fully opened up would not be subjected to any trouble. -- For this reason that they cannot be considered lofty. The troubles that come to you are the evidences that the path in which you proceed is right only. Do not live just for duty. In order to get limitless freedom, start with joy!

348.Page 502. Is duty binding you? If 'yes'..., know it that it is not duty but it is ignorance.

349.Page 503. In order to do duty fully, the enthusiastic energy called mercy is necessary.

350.Page 504. When Mukundan said, "Just one sip of liquor makes me giddy" Nitti surprisingly asked, "Are you telling really?" Mukundan said, "Yes, that giddiness always comes for the first sip of the seventh glass." Like Mukundan, man's mind also has become numb. For the mind to drink a mouthful of joy, it requires a lot of joys. The reason for his getting only a little satisfaction even after he does his duty to a big measure is also the mind having become numb! Believing that small satisfaction as a big one he loses a lot, in order to multiply that! Mind... should become a conscious one.

351.Page 507. Finally tell yourself "Possible"! The wonder will happen that what all is needed to complete it will gather around you. You will see. Certainly you will see.

352.Page 510. For the human labour which has come by shedding the

energy, will the money you give compensate adequately?

353. Page 511. A particular kind of sparrow flies for a distance of 2,50,000 Kilometers within its life-time. But, for a snail to cross a single mile itself, it takes more than 3 weeks. If the snail wants to change as that bird, what will be its fate?

It is wasteful exertion. Accept every thing as it is and be blissful. Say your gratitude to yourself. Be grateful to what you possess – your senses, your body, your life, your mind, your breath.

Meditation will happen.

354. Page 512. It is not getting angry saying, "God has not given me". the very asking god itself is wrong only. Have you expressed your 'gratitude' for what you have got so far...

355. Page 513. Practical current meditation. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! -- By using these words, you can satisfy others only. By practi-cally implementing the sense of gratitude you can satisfy yourself.

356. Page 514.

-- Cell biology.

-- Siddha statement.

If we examine deeply... Each cell thinks alone and acts. Eats separately. Lives separately So, man is not a separate entity. He is a sum total of many crores of lives. Instead of saying Anda is within Pinda called man, we have to say each cell of the man is an Anda (world).

So, God, who has created you, deserves to receive your gratitude!

357. Page 515. You are a rarity. Just as you wake up, you live in this body in this world. As soon as you go to sleep, you live in the dream body in the dream world.

Even while you are awake, if you miss your awareness, you live in the imaginary body in the imaginary world. Think well... All these 3 bodies, All these 3 worlds, Are all these one only!!! Going beyond considering, think. Many questions will arise. That itself will lead you to meditation.

359. Page 519. Beauty is different. Grace is different.

360. Page 522. Colour-blindness will hide the colours. That is all. Mind blindness will hide both excellence and the life as well.

361. Page 523. Do not pass judgments. Judgments will cut-off even long-lasting relationships.

362. Page 523. One who respects man as a man is one who has passed beyond all opinions.

363. Page 524. When a man spoke exhibiting his spiritual ego saying, "If I am slapped on one cheek, I would show the other cheek", a Zen Master slapped him on both the cheeks at the same time with his both hands and asked him, "What will you do now, which one you will show, tell". That man who was living, imagining himself as a 'personification of patience' got upset at the action of the master. The Zen Master laughed.

On later days, he understood a truth, that is: 'It is not speaking of mere statements calmly. Living at the state of calmness and patience as stated by the statements and truths is only great. It is not merely talking loudly, but expressing through his life only is important."

Mind is a very big fraudulent person. It will begin to live keeping the principles of spirituality which are utilized for destruction of the mind itself. It will teach to throw on others its own anger, pride and irritation under the guise of spirituality.

364. Page 526. As passing judgments stops, you will begin to learn to live!

365. Page 527. If God asks you, "Who are you to pass judgment on the other person....?"

366. Page 530. Do you know that, within you, a whole city lives!

367. Page 531. The sound of mind's chattering is equal to the sound of the crowd in a public market. The more and more you become calm, you will begin to hear that sound clearly.

368. Page 532. As you get angry, acid rain rains within your body as angry hormones!

369. Page 533. As you laugh, each and every cell of yours jumps. Laughter has scattered in your body as joyful hormones!

370. Page 534. Even if the mind is there, you can give only what is available. -- Tao song. Depending on the measure of bliss that you possess in your consciousness, your giving or destroying bliss to the other person will happen. Make the blissful feeling increase. Every thing will become all right.

371. Page 535. No one lives with the spouse.

372. Page 536. If grief can come suddenly, why cannot bliss come? Which is big?

373. Page 537. Beautiful parrot you are! Illusory cage called desire has made you as a caterpillar!

374. Page 540. Tests are entrances for achievements.

375. Page 541. In case you were a man who had not seen a mirror in your life-time at all... Description of your face would not be known even to you yourself.

Desire to become a beautiful man would not arise. • Attachment, relationship, quarrel, jumping playfully. -- All these are mirrors which show your true form. In case, you are such a person, who does not know how to see or who does not want to see yourself in these mirrors... You cannot understand yourself about the description of your inner self. Therefore you cannot even prevent the deficiencies in your natural qualities changing as poison. One who refuses to share will have to share sudden shocks later on.

376. Page 542. Talking some thing or the other, lamenting over various things, laughing and jumping playfully, are not sharing.

377. Page 543. Whether you speak, laugh or cry, sharing what is inside with those near you as it is only is sharing.

378. Page 544. Through sharing, learn to live and rule yourself.

379. Page 546. Share! Share you with yourself!

380. Page 547. Saying, "Chee", do not discard any thing! At any time!

381. Page 547. If you yourself are not respecting your body, then who will respect it!

382. Page 550. You believe that god has the power to give what you ask. You ask... But you refuse to believe that god has also the intellect to give what you ask for, when and how to give.

God is not only one with limitless liberality, but He is also intelligent too!

383. Page 551. The time at which fear and desire come, only that happens to be your prayer time. Uproar and narrow desires cannot change as prayer.

384. Page 552. Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Kethu. These different forms of divine energy do have the power to control you! One who has obtained meditative energy by meditating daily will bring that divine energy itself under his grip and control!

Even Rahu and Kethu can't do anything to that Sadhu. Meditate and see... It will be understood.

385.Page 553. Because you believe in God, it is of no use to God. Your belief itself will enthuse you. That belief itself will make you live like a king.

386.Page 556. Before you become God, Oh man! Become an artist.

387.Page 561. In human life, other than bliss, all other things are only permanent impermanences.

388.Page 562. Whether it is relationship, property or position, man takes a lot of efforts to make it permanent. This is equal to trying to embrace and hold up the river and trying to keep it with oneself.

389.Page 563. THE SHIP TITANIC. On the first day the ship was sailing in the sea, the captain of the ship said like this: "Even if that God thinks, He cannot make this ship sink or overturn." • Happenings are not in your hands. This applies even to the person living in a luxurious mansion.

390.Page 564. Future is impermanent. It is indeterminable. What is permanent is the present time. Love what is permanent. Live in that permanency.

• Habit itself is bad. -- Vedic truth.

• Habit is a strange thing.

After trying, even after a certain bad habit is left off, in 'HABIT', if H is gone 'A BIT' will remain. This will again drive. If again tried, in 'A BIT", if A is gone, 'BIT' will remain. Still further trying, in 'BIT', if B is gone, 'IT' will remain.

Habit is a ghost, which will continuously drive, until the 'I' in it that is the ego is destroyed. The blame is not on any one. Habit can be destroyed only by awareness. Hence increase the awareness!

392. Page 566. Life will not give trouble to good people. If it so gives... Or if a person feels so... It means that he has not yet become a good person.

393. Page 567. Researchers say, "Within the next 7,000 years, Nayagara will destroy all the mountains around it simply by erosion itself." They say that the rocks and soil for the surrounding seven miles have already been eroded. • What all are appearing as permanent, are all only impermanences. The strong tendency and eagerness for making any thing and every thing permanent, is only the anchor driven inside man, that mind drives, for it to live. Unless this anchor is cut off, peace, bliss and health will all be only merely in paper!

394. Page 568. Man is a 'prey' born to be eaten by earth. -- Gurdjeef. • As long as life is there, earth is man's food. After that man is earth's food. This is a permanent cycle.

395. Page 570. An attractive form of suffering is joy.

396. Page 574. Present fears about the future, spoil the future!

397. Page 575. Achievers. The worry of achievers is thinking about the past again and again! Non-achievers. The worry of the non-achievers is thinking about the future again and again!

Most people, most of the times, are going on preparing to talk next. Even their allowing other person to talk is because it is preparation time for their talking next! But the information that is spoken or listened to, are not important. Listening is important! It is a meditation which gives consolation to the other person and rest to your mind. It is a wisdom which will make the mind, which is hurrying between past and future, sit calmly.

399. Page 577. It is impossible to separate saying, I am separate, present time is separate.

400. Page 578. Past time has really died. That is why it is called so (Irantha kalam in Tamil). Future time is really opposing. That is why it is called so (Ethir kalam in Tamil).

401. Page 579. Words become thoughts... Thoughts become actions... Actions become habits... Habits become qualities... Qualities decide a man. Man decides words! In this 'life circle', wherever you insert awareness, there meditation will happen. Reason: There you are in the present time.

402. Page 580. Past and the future are the two wings of the min eagle. If you push them with the help of the present time, the chicken of bliss will joyfully swing within you. -- Acute intellect of meditation.

403. Page 582. 'Victory' is not a flower which blossoms at some time, somewhere.

404. Page 586. One can escape from life. One cannot escape from death.

405. Page 587. Birth while inhaling, death while exhaling, continuously goes on. There is very little difference between this death and the death which happens when life leaves the body. Facing breath with awareness is equal to facing death.

406. Page 588. The life should not leave the body only just because the body and life have become exhausted.

In the same way as the person who gets gold medal in his graduation, leaves the university with a sense of gratitude... The life should take leave of the body with the satisfaction of having lived. For this to happen, every one must get the gold medal in the art of living. Are you ready?

407. Page 589. Do you know that death is a teacher? As we think, death is not the peak of suffering. Death is the peak of comfort. Peak of freedom. If death is approached with awareness, it will be deeply consciously understood that it is the peak of comfort and freedom.

408. Page 590. Poorakam, Rechakam, Kumbakam, Idakalai, Pinkalai, Suzhimunai. Don't worry about these things. Simply keep your attention on the breath that comes in and that goes out. Meditation will happen.

409. Page 592. The boat of life is breath.

410. Page 593. The path of breath is path of meditation.

411. Page 596. Bliss is great daring.

412. Page 597. The bliss path.

The path of bliss is beautiful. It is blissful. Reason: That path begins in bliss and ends in bliss itself.

413. Page 598. If the cloud searches for the sky. will it get the sky? It is an amalgamation of air in which it cannot be separated as to which is the sky and which is the cloud. Thinking that man is different and bliss is different, and search for bliss, it will not be available. Man, who is part of the bliss energy, can only discover it. To discover it, one should met and get dissolved in it.

414. Page 599. For water to form, O2 permitted H; H permitted O2. For you to become god's form, the body...need not permit the soul. It is enough if it is consciously felt itself. Today it is known very well that "the body in which you live is very, very ordinary, and you too are very ordinary...!" In a way, this is true but it is not final and ultimate. It is possible for you also to change as all powerful, as one who can make all things to happen, as one who can make every thing function, if only the body... permits the soul energy to live beyond the mind!

415. Page 600. When oxygen and hydrogen mixes up, water is born. There is no connection at all between oxygen and hydrogen. Neither oxygen, nor hydrogen can quench the thirst. Still it is only the water which is formed by mixing of both that quenches the thirst. • When the body and the Atman(soul) which is within that mix up, god is born. Each cell of the body begins to live at the peak of bliss. As long as the mind is there which makes you feel that the body and Atman are separate, it is not possible by both of them to quench your thirst of many, many births. If they mix up and merge... In this same body In this same world, You can be blissful by many million times than this!

416. Page 601. Sea of Eternal Bliss. The moment one touches the peak of the mountain, the first step of the downward slope of the mountain begins. Going to the peak of knowledge, beauty, power, money, culture, praise etc. is only to slide down in the inner world. Ego will catch hold of only that person, who, without going to the peak, is in the middle. Without roaming about saying, "My branch, my desire, my profession... In these I will go to the peak to the extent possible by me", if you do it and show... the first step of the downward slope of inside will be visible. The pathway to the sea of bliss will be known.

417. Page 603. Even after evolving as a man, like an ant, you are going on running for some thing. What for that running, at least do you know that? Say, Man!

418.Page 604. Do not sing, "Believing whom you have born!" Search!

419.Page 607. To say without any shyness, "I am suffering", to feel that consciously, and to cross that, intelligence is necessary.

420.Page 608. The song of peace is laughter! Full laughter!

421.Page 609. Suffering – Darkness. Awareness – Light. You yourself knowing your suffering is equal to lighting a small lamp in the room of your consciousness. A small light will drive away a big darkness. Experience the suffering deeply. That also is meditation only. You will come out of it totally. Feel happy about thinking about suffering. From the second you have understood, "I am sorrowful" the sorrow will be begun to be driven out by awareness. Feeling sad thinking about sufferings is equal to darkness joining the darkness. Feeling happy thinking about sorrow is like light joining the darkness. Which one is convenient! Select yourself.

422.Page 610. The one that creates celebration or suffer mental trouble is not the world; consciousness.

423.Page 611. Confusing the one that confuses is wisdom solution.

424.Page 612. The name given to man by Thirumoolar who lived 3000 years ago is... 'Walking temples'. • When you begin to dance with dancing god who is within walking-you, you will change as dancing celebrating person. 425.Page 613. Said in a discourse during a meditation programme:

"While being born itself Buddha was not born as Buddha. At one time Buddha was also struggling like you." • When it was possible for an ordinary Siddhartha to become Buddha, why is it not possible for you?

426.Page 615. Ananda. 'Nanda' means that which can reduce. 'Ananda' means that which does not reduce. One does not give the feeling of saturation. One that is sweet. One that gives the satisfaction.

427.Page 616. After attaining 'experiential realization of wisdom' within me, passing off nine months of blissful silence, the first words expressed by God through me... "Be blissful".

Messages contained in the photographs of Swamiji in the Book. -----

1. Opposite to Page 96:

Who has said, spirituality is difficult? Oh! Yuga Bharathis of Ananda Yuga!

Listen....! Listen...!

As the enthusiastic hare slept, you have slept. This is not a crime. A small mistake only!

2. Opposite to page 128:

Today you have become ripe and mature. Your finding out your own past mistakes is the symbol for this!

What to do? With the level of maturity you had at that time only that much could be done then.

Today you have ripened. Still why do you feel sad?

Intelligent persons will not repeat the same mistake done earlier, nor do they feel sad for what has been done. On the other hand they will mend themselves.

3. Opposite to Page 224.

Asceticism is not just renouncing what all you have.

It is discarding what you do not have.

That only is true asceticism.

4. Opposite to Page 256.

Whatever are the actions that you do.

Does it give joy to you and to those around you...?

If yes, leave the worry.

That is just only! Sacred law only!

5. Opposite to page 352.

It is easy to worship the master. Because, the ego will not be affected.

It is very difficult only to follow the teachings of the master. It is important.

Any true master accepts him only as a disciple who follows his teachings and implements them practically.

6. Opposite to page 384.

In this manner if Buddha, Jesus and Vivekananda had thought, how much this world would have missed!

You have taken the body! You can utilize it for the world also!

'Taking up responsibility' will also make energy flow abundantly within you.

Take up the responsibility. Let the energy overflow.

7.Opposite to page 512.

Come on Let us play with God.

To see God, go to the temple. You can see and come.

Do meditation. God Himself will come running in search of you!

Be Blissful.
