Today I wanted to share this very important message: Education should be moving your life! 

Please listen!  Whether it is education for your career, like a MA, BA, Engineering, Lawyer, Doctor, whatever, or spiritual education, whatever may be the purpose, the education should be moving your life.  Life should be moving, life should be filled with happening.  Unfortunately, all education at present creates the context of settled, withdrawing, retiring.  For example, you are told, ‘Do Engineering; you will get a job and you can settle down in life.’  It means, what is the context?  You are never told, ‘Do Engineering, take up a job or career in that field, explore and contribute something, achieve something, give something to society.’  This context was never set.  Please listen, the context set for any action is very important, in a way much more than action! 

I have seen....I have seen, people trying to take up sannyas as a retirement!  A few days before, I was in the Inner Awakening session.  During the session break, gap, I was sitting with the Tamil Nadu sannyasis’ team; the sannyasis who are working, our Swamis who are working in Tamil Nadu, with that team I was sitting, chatting, laughing.  The whole group was joking on the stage, laughing.  Later on, when the participants were sharing, they said, ‘We are jealous of this group.’ 

If you have the right context and take up, even sannyas will be successful!  Please understand, if you think that laughter is wonderful, amazing, and from the context that you want to be part of that laughing group if you want to take sannyas, you are right; it IS beautiful!  But, sometimes, sannyas is approached more with retirement ideology! 

‘Oh, I will take sannyas...’ 

‘And after that what will you do?’

‘I will get food, and I will sit and do “Shiva-Shiva, Shiva-Shiva, Shiva-Shiva.....” (chanting Shiva’s name).

Shiva himself is dancing and running this whole Cosmos!  But these fellows will just be chanting “Shiva-Shiva, Shiva-Shiva”, and sitting in one corner! 

Whether it is religious education, or secular education, education like your profession – doctor, engineer – whether it is secular education or religious education, that context should be exploring and radiating, expanding....not retiring, shrinking. 

Listen!  Swami Vivekananda puts it very beautifully: “With manifestation of divinity within begins the high possibility even!” 

So, the context set for education or any activity has to be “happening”, not retirement, not withdrawal, not moving out, not shrinking.

Two days before, somebody came to me in the Kalpataru Darshan and said, ‘Swamiji, I want to build a temple.  I have collected fifty percent of the money.  You give me money; I want to build the temple.’

I asked him, ‘So what for you want to build the temple?’

He said, ‘If I build a temple, I will just sit there and settle down....and I will run my life with whatever little money people give in that temple and I will run the temple...’

I started laughing and said, ‘Do you think running a temple is a simple job?’

He thinks after building the temple he will rest!  It is like thinking that after building a ship you will rest!  If you rest after building a ship, what will happen?  Along with you, the ship will sink!  Running the ship has to be done! 

Anything you create, build, running it has to be done.  Please understand, without knowing about maintaining, any creation is equivalent to destruction.  So constantly don’t wait to withdraw.  Don’t work from the context of withdrawal.  Don’t work from the context of retirement.  Don’t work from the context of constantly waiting to withdraw.

Understand, even death cannot retire you from your mission!  Even death cannot tire you from your mission!  Even death cannot tire you from your mission! 

Constantly educate yourself for happening, not for retiring.  Understand, if your context for something is retiring, withdrawal, a small problem is enough; immediately you will back out, you will withdraw.  Your context is “happening”, making it happen. 

Every obstacle which comes in your life, know how to make it as a success.  Please listen!  Because my whole life is from the context of happening, when these fools tried to bring a test, the way I handled it, it has become a testimony for me!  When these fools brought a trial, the way I handled it, it become a triumph for me!  When these fools tried to make me a victim, the way I handled it, it become a victory for me!  The test which was brought became testimony, the trial which was brought became triumph, the victim mode they were trying to bring became victory! 

Listen, it is the context from which you operate that decides how you are going to respond to the incompletions or the obstacles which happen in your life.  If the context is “happening”, making it happen, your education will be for that purpose, everything will be for that purpose.

The constant hangover residue for the retirement is self-denial.  That is the source of arthritis!  The constant residue for the withdrawal, retirement.....  Sometimes our softness will be rooted in the pattern of withdrawal.  Look in.  The constant impossibility is also from the constant residue hangover for withdrawal.  Understand, the constant hangover for withdrawal is almost like an itching sensation.  You can never heal the itching sensation by scratching it.  You can never complete the constant hangover of the withdrawal by vacations.  Vacations are like itching skin; by scratching are you going to heal the itching skin?  By going for vacation, are you going to heal the constant hangover for withdrawal?  I tell you, I wanted all my disciples to understand, all your vacations should be more active than your profession!  That is why, all Hindu vacations are active pilgrimages.  In Hindu concept, in Hinduism, the vacation is pilgrimage; means, climbing the hill, going around the hill, walking up to the Himalayas.  I really wanted to speak specially on this subject of the Hindu way of vacation.

The constant withdrawal mode which you remember, relish, cherish will lead you to the space of hopelessness.  Listen!  Please listen!  It is like are you trying to get a driving licence that, ‘Once I get the licence, I can sleep...’?  No!  The moment you get the driving licence only you can start driving!  Same way, sannyas is the licence to dedicate your life to the whole world, not insurance for retirement!  Sannyas is not retirement insurance!  It is a licence to start your life! 

Education should not be a retirement insurance; it should be a licence to start your life.  Why people want a government job?  Nobody wants government hospitals, government transport system, government system; but everybody wants to marry a government-job husband, or everybody wants to get a government job!  Why?  Because government job is almost like a retirement insurance; once you get it, you can’t be moved!  You just fill that seat; in a few months you will really “fill” that seat, your front and back will expand up to the sides of the seat and the seat is really filled, and you will just sign and take the cheque home (your monthly salary).  The possibility for “happening” is shut down!

Understand, the context from which sannyas is approached should be changed.  The context from which education is approached should be changed.  Don’t fall into powerlessness whenever you are catching your patterns.  Whenever you are catching your patterns, it should be with a lot of excitement, excitement that you are going for a war, not with the powerlessness that you are going to be defeated!  ‘I don’t even know where the enemy is!  What will I do?’  If you don’t know where the enemy is, you have one benefit: you can just shoot and scoot in the night!  Shoot in the air in any direction.  Because, anything you don’t know is your enemy!  Any pattern which you don’t understand is your enemy!  Any context which you don’t understand is your enemy!  Listen, whether it is your religious education or spiritual education, marriage or sannyas, career or job, everything should be approached from the context of “happening”, “furthering”.  Happening and furthering!

Sometimes I have seen, some people enter into my ashram with the wrong context: ‘Oh, just a few months if I somehow bear, I will get Krama Brahmacharya.  Then after that for a few months somehow if I sit, I will get Sannyas.  Then that’s all...’  But after they know........!! J  As I said, Sannyas is not retirement insurance; it is licence to start life!

Look inside.  Whenever you are making your life filled with happening, you come back energetically!  The definition of “Vacation” should be changed.  “Vacation” means: That which keeps you more active, more alive from different context, is “Vacation”! 

Listen!  Listen!  The definition of “Vacation” according to dharma is: The change of action, place, lifestyle for a few days, which keeps you more active, more active by changing the context, is “Vacation”!

Understand, I am defining “Dharma”: The law with which life functions, which cannot be grasped by your logic, is “Dharma”!  The law with which life functions, which cannot be grasped by your logic, is “Dhamma”!

So, the definition of vacation which I gave, you may think, ‘Oh, if I am more active in the vacation and come back, will I not be more tired?’  The incompletion “after every action you will be tired”, should be completed.  It is a lie that you are made to believe!  The concept of “the graph which goes up has to come down” is a lie, which is not right!  “The graph which goes up has to come down” is a materialistic way of believing.  That is why, till this basic cognition is removed, always your excitement will go up and come down, your hate will go up and come down, your trust will go up and come down, your incompletions will go up and come down, your self-doubts will go up and come down.  When your SDHD (Self-Doubt, Hatred, Denial) goes up, you will put it on me and I have to suffer it!  That basic belief, the cognition that you are not qualified to be high all the time, has to be completed.  You have to be on a high all the time!  You don’t need reasons to support your high, you being high.  If you are feeling high, excited, and making things happen in your life, one corner of you will wonder, ‘Why am I high?  What is the reason?  Nothing much has happened; then why are you jumping around like a fool?’  Getting depressed and sitting in a corner only looks like a fool!  Jumping around looks cute!  Your jumping around does not need a reason.  Just jump around because you are alive!

Don’t take life too seriously.  Anyhow you are not going to get out of it alive! HAHAHAHAHAHA!  Come on!  Then why are you constantly, all the time, having a wrong cognition about happening?  Why are you constantly celebrating, all the time looking from the lower context, lower existence?  When you are jumping, already you are waiting, you are planning, ‘I am going to get tired! I have to sit down....’  If you are up, alive, excited, already one part of you will say, ‘By tomorrow it will become okay, this excitement...it will all settle down....I know...’ 

Learn this habit of active vacation.  The best way is: Do Padayatras!  Go to the temples, spiritual pilgrimage places, do padayatra with family.  Have one vehicle for any emergency care; let it come behind; you go by walk.  I tell you, going to padayatra as a whole family, first thing, it will give you the alternative vacation style, alternative style of vacation; second, it will really make you help each other in facing the realities of life, support each other, and it will really bond you so well.

The essence of what I wanted to convey: Let everything be based on one word – HAPPENING!  Go on making things happen.  Everyone.....I am not saying everyone around you should feel “Wow! How many GOOD things he has done!”; if all of them feel, ‘How MANY things he has done!’, that is enough!  Because, people will never see how many GOOD things he has done.  So, don’t wait for people to say, ‘How many GOOD things he has done!’  If they say, ‘How MANY things he has done!’, that itself is your success! 

There is an automatic, default protective system in your being, self-defence, self-protection.  Your life needs to move within your system only to make you active.  To be protective, to be defensive, to be sitting in a cave, I don’t need to teach you; that is what your mind is teaching you.  I know after you get into the cave what you will be doing!  You will be painting, cleaning, dressing the cave!  I know that!  All these people who are in the mode of retirement, that is what they will be doing!  No, really!  When you become restless, what will you do?  Start cleaning the cave; then start planning: ‘In the cave itself if I have a small water-body it will be nice!  And one attached bathroom...it will be nice!’

In Tiruvannamalai, there is a cave...a Five Star ashram!  One Swami went and tried to live in that cave.  Slowly, slowly, he made that cave into a Five Star Hotel!  And I was laughing!  This is what happens without getting into the Hridaya Guha (the cave of your heart) if you get into the external guha (guha = cave).  And when you get into the Hridaya Guha, you will be so alive and active, you don’t need an external guha!

Let every decision, whether it is for secular education or religious education, or the decisions of life like Sannyas, marriage, or career, job, profession, let everything be based on “happening”. 

Whenever people come to me, ‘Swamiji, should I do this job or that profession or that career?’, I always feel you can do all the three and something more!  But if I tell are you going to listen?  But whoever is ready to listen to me, I tell, ‘Do all four!’   

‘No, Swamiji.  This is from different, different cities...’

‘You create the space that you are going to do all the four.  You will see everything aligns into your bedroom!  You don’t need to be travelling to different cities or countries to do all these four jobs!’

Now I am not travelling from country to country to do what I want!  Just sitting on one Sarvagna Peetha, one seat, I am doing what I want!

Don’t tell me, ‘No, Swamiji....your job is different, my job is different...’

No!  Just create the right context.  You will see things will align...things will align!

Everything, everything, be from the context of happening!  Understand, when you perform an action from the context of retirement, the result will be different.  The same action done from the context of happening, the result will be totally different!  Performing any action from the right context of happening is “Creating the Space”, “Working from the Space”.  Don’t study to retire. Don’t build a temple to retire.  Don’t build an ashram to retire.  Don’t become a sannyasi to retire.  Don’t become a doctor to retire.  Decide very clearly, if you are a doctor and you are doing surgery every day now, even after you drop the body you will be in another space and helping people to heal!  What you do now, let it be aligned to your mission of life; if not, don’t do even now!  If it is not aligned to your whole mission, don’t even do that now!  Stop it!  Be very clear, even after you die, as a ghost you should be doing the same thing!  ‘Yes, now I am attending to the phone calls in the Enriching Temple.  After I leave the body, I will go into their dream and attend to their phone calls!  Whether I have this body or drop this body, I am going to do that continuously!’

Please understand, working from this context of happening, you will not face old-age and disease.  Never old-age and disease will have power over you!  Old-age and disease will have power over you only if you build your life with the context of retirement.  If your Vision and Mission is such that there is a possibility for retirement, only then old-age and disease will have power over you.  Conquer old-age and disease!

I wanted this homework to be done: 

All our gurukul kids should sit and plan.  Plan for your future what you want to become, what is the reality you want to cause.  Be very clear, you will be causing that whether you are in the body or you have dropped your body. 

All our devotees also, I wanted all of you guys to do this one homework today.  Think through: What you want to do in your life, you should be doing it while you have the body and after you drop the body. 

People who live the life, the Mission and the Vision, in which they are active while they are in the body after they left the body, they are only called as “Gods”, “Devathas”!  A great saint from Tamil Nadu, Valluvar, he defined who is God: 

“வையத்துள் வாழ்வாங்கு வாழ்பவன்

வான்உறையும் தெய்வத்துள் வைக்கப் படும்.”

“Vaiyaththul Vaazhvaangu Vaazhbhavan

Vaanuraiyyum Deivaththul Vaikkappadum”

Please listen!  I am translating now and commenting on it:

“If your Vision and Mission in the real life is not going to be changed by having the body or dropping the body, you are God!”

Let your Vision or Mission be established from the context of “happening”.

I know, as long as I have this body, I am going to be sitting on this Sarvagna Peetha, where this sponge (sponge cushion on Swamiji’s seat) is going to feel my weight, and give my morning satsanghs.  When I leave the body, the same thing will be happening, but this sponge will not be feeling the weight of this body, that’s all!  Other than that, there is no change!  Other than that, there is no change!  One, I am going to live for quite a long time more....at least ninety more years!  Second, see the technology has evolved in such way, now may be in a few months we are going to introduce the technology of hologram!  Means, all our ashrams and temples are going to see me in 3D (three dimension) in the morning satsangh!  Means, same type of technology will be put in all the ashrams where you will see me in 3D picking up the hand-kerchief, wiping my face, or playing with the Yoga Danda...!  One more thing, when these 3D satsanghs are recorded, when it is replayed, it will also appear in 3D!  Now itself the technology has evolved so much!  So, what all way the technology is going to evolve, that is different.  Even otherwise, when you are completely present in your happening, your presence itself will make the happening!  When you are completely present in the happening without sleeping, your presence itself will make the happening!

I wanted all our disciples to align themselves today.  Today, this is the homework.  Happening Sunday!  Understand, we will change our calendars into “Happening Holidays”, “Happening Vacations”!  When it is a Happening Holiday, it is a Holy Day!

Whether you are a gurukul kid, or a Mahant, or a Shrimahant, or a Sannyasi, or a Brahmachari, listen, Hinduism is for HAPPENING!  “Mumukshu” is a person who is aligning himself to happening!  “Moksha” means, happening...happening without even the help of your body and mind.  If the happening is happening with your body and mind’s help, it is called “present”.  If the happening is happening without the help of your body and mind, it is called “presence”.  Build your life in the present for presence; that is what I call “eternal life”, “living in Akshardham”.  If you decide, ‘Today I am attending the Enriching Temple calls.  After I leave the body, I will be doing the same job in their dreams!’, you will see, attending the temple calls will never become tiredness or boredom, because you will know, whether you have the body or don’t have the body, you are going to be doing the same thing! 

Aligning your purpose with your life takes away the tiredness and boredom in you.  The eternal reality takes away the tiredness and boredom from you.  If you don’t align yourself to the eternal reality, whatever you desire you will always see that almost it is coming near your mouth....and it is disappearing!  It is like, you come all the way from a different country to spend a few days with me in Bidadi, and suddenly you are sent to Hosur (a place in Tamil Nadu)!  It feels like almost what you want is coming near your mouth....but suddenly it is not there!

Listen!  Listen!  Listen!  Today we will all celebrate the Happening Sunday!  Means, we will align all our goals, actions, Vision, Mission, everything by questioning: ‘Is this what I want to do forever?  Am I going to do this eternally?’  Sometimes you may have to complete with the boredom and tiredness you created from the past.  Sometimes you may have to complete with your SDHD (
Self-Doubt, Hatred, Denial).  But, finally, by today evening, come back to alignment.  You will do something which will never cause you tiredness or boredom.  Because I know for sure, forever, coming and sitting in the morning, receiving the Pada Puja, and doing the satsangh, and taking calls after that enlightening people, is going to be my life’s purpose, Vision, Mission, whether I have this body or drop this body.  This is what I am going to be doing with body or without body.  Never tiredness or boredom can make me withdraw!  Tiredness and boredom can never overpower me! 

When you create the context of eternity to your present reality, creating the context of eternity to the present reality is living enlightenment!  Creating the context of eternity to the present reality!  If you are sitting and checking the vouchers in the Accounts Department, you should know the context of eternity for this.  Tomorrow, even if you leave the body, you are going to be checking the accounts of Kubera!  (Kubera is the demi-god in Hindu tradition who hoards wealth).  If you are going to do this security job, tomorrow, even if you are going to leave the body, you are going to do the job of “bhoota gana”, checking the boundaries of Kailasha.  Understand, today if you are doing the job of doctor – eN-Pregnancy – even if you leave this body, you are going to be doing the same job as Ashwini Kumara, Marich, Marut, Sushruta, or Dhanwantari.

People who have aligned their present action to the eternity context never suffer by tiredness, boredom, or powerlessness.  I tell you, if the tiredness and boredom and powerlessness is removed from your life, you are embalmed to eternity!  That is the word I will use: “Embalmed to Eternity”!  You all would have heard about this embalming.  When somebody dies, inject a few chemicals into their body; there will not be any smell of the dead body; the body won’t deteriorate or decay; it will be preserved and remain for eternity!  Same way, I am giving a technique of embalming yourself, embalming yourself for eternity, embalming your consciousness for eternity:  Inject the context of eternity to your present.  Pull out tiredness and boredom.  Reject powerlessness.  This is the alchemy of eternal....  May be, I can use a new word: “eN-Balming” instead of “embalming”! eN-Balming your consciousness for eternity!

I tell you, if you align yourself now itself and bring the context of eternity to your present and start living, naturally the tiredness and boredom, impossibility, powerlessness will never be able to overpower you.  Then I guarantee you a place in Akshardham!  Even if you are a devotee, if you live this quality of life, I guarantee you a place in Akshardham.  There (pointing upwards) and here (pointing downwards)!  Below the ground and above the sky!  In real-estate and real state!  Real Estate and Real State!  “Real Estate” means, place in the ten-thousand Samadhis around me.  And Real State (Swamiji points upwards)!  I am making the whole thing very simple.

Just bring the context of eternity to your present.  Align your everyday routine, thinking, job, action, from morning till night, to the context of eternity.  Anything else, gun it down!  I tell you, when you align yourself to the context of eternity, not only the tiredness and boredom cannot have power over you, even having the body or not having the body will not have power over you.  Having the body or not having the body will not have power over you.

Today you have a lot of thinking, intranalyzing.  I wanted all the satsanghis to sit sincerely and spend at least one hour to align yourself to this eternity.  When the context of eternity is set for the ephemeral, the border between eternity and ephemeral naturally gets dissolved, disappears.  When there is no border between eternity and ephemeral, that is what I call “Jeevan Mukthi”, “Living Enlightenment”. 

With this, we will start the Kalpataru process.  I welcome all the students in the University of Texas, Austin, who have come for Kalpataru Darshan.  Nice to have you guys!  And hope I was able to at least give one or two useful principles for your life.  Now we will move to the Kalpataru process.  I wanted all of you to take up a paper and pen.  The people who are here for Kalpataru and the people who are in the University of Texas, Austin for Kalpataru, please pick up paper and pen.  Choose one thought that you want to cause as reality, and all the doubt, incompletions you have around that thought.  Pen down both.  Choose a thought you want to cause as reality, and the incompletions, self-doubts, self-hatred, self-denial you have around that thought.  Please pen down both.

(After a few minutes.....................)

Yes...now we will move into the process.  Please close your eyes.  Sit straight and listen!  Create the space for what you want to cause as reality.  University of Texas, Austin, all the participants, please listen!  I am giving an example. For example, you wanted a successful career as a doctor.  Visualize that it has already happened, that it is a reality now.  All the doubts you have, the incompletions you have, fears you have, complete all of that and drop it.  And see what you wanted is existential reality, it is real now.  Visualize and see it is real now already.  Hold on to this space for the next few minutes.  Namah Shivaya!

KALPATARU MEDITATION IN PROGRESS.....................

Relax.  I bless you all!  The space you hold, let it become reality!  The thought you created, let it become reality!  Thathaasthu!

We will start the darshan for Austin, University of Texas.  Austin, let us start the darshan. 

I also wanted to announce...I am very happy to announce that the Kumbh Mela in Los Angeles is happening very beautifully and successfully!

So, first we will have the darshan for University of Texas, Austin.  Then Chennai we have one darshan. And then we will have the darshan for all the devotees gathered in Bidadi.  Then we will have the Sangha meeting, the Global Sangha meeting.  Then we will go for Inner Awakening session.  Today, you guys (Inner Awakening participants) have a beautiful, in the morning itself, Vaak Siddhi initiation!  

University of Texas, can you go ahead...?

KALPATARU DARSHAN IN PROGRESS.....................

I bless you all!  Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility and Enriching and Causing with eternal bliss, Nithyananda!  Thank you!
