I welcome all of you with my love and blessings.
After a powerful webinar....! Yesterday’s webinar is good news. The next webinar will be great news!
Today, I will continue to expand on the space of Advaitha.
Please understand, even though in the modern world Advaitha is branded as a very powerful theology, a very powerful philosophy, originally Advaitha was not developed as a philosophy. It evolved as a sweet personal instruction between a disciple and Master whose love circle is complete. Please understand, it reached its perfection, it reached its peak possibility.....
Please understand, an ayurvedic medicine may be sold in any small shop. It might have been available to you in some small shop, in some small gully (lane). Because it is available in a small shop in a small village in a small gully, don’t think it is produced there. Where Research & Development (R&D) is done and perfection has been arrived at is a different place. Now Advaitha has become a philosophy, well-known theology. I can say, in a way, the most promoted theology of Hindu Tradition has become Advaitha. Of course, Advaitha is worthy to have that space, because, the truth Vedic Tradition wanted to share, the truth towards which the tradition is showing is Advaitha Sathya. It is neither Siddhanta nor Vedanta, it is Sathya. Vedanta or Siddhanta, both developed later on in course of time. That is why I wanted to tell all of you, the Advaitha I am sharing with you, the truths of Advaitha I am sharing with you are revived by Shankara, but originally shared by Mahadeva and Kapila. It is from the time of Mahadeva, from the time of Kapila. Shankara revived it. How I am making Advaitha user-friendly to this modern day humanity, same way, Shankara made it user-friendly for his time. But don’t ever make the mistake of thinking Shankara developed Advaitha. No! Advaitha Sathya existed, exists forever! What I am doing is, I am doing a practical liberated thinking which makes you experience the truth of Advaitha, which makes you operate from the space of Advaitha. That is exactly what Shankara did during his lifetime. Making Advaitha as an operating space, liberated thinking as a day-to-day thinking, the space of Advaitha as a cognition from which you will operate, that is what Shankara did in his time.
So, I wanted every one of you to be very clear, the truths I am sharing with you is directly from the inner-space of Mahadeva. Please understand, research and development and perfection of these great truths the way they are lived, they way they are transmitted, the way they are contemplated, the way they are listened, is perfection. The research and development and the perfection has happened in the great loving space of Mahadeva. That is why I insist on coming down, staying around the Master, spending a little time around him, and allowing this perfection to happen in you. Please understand, in the love of the Master, these teachings become part of your very bio-energy. Love of the Master is from the space of bio-energy, pure Kundalini Shakthi, unpolluted. So, naturally, that awakens your Kundalini Shakthi; your core opens up.
A few days before, I received a message from a devotee in Mumbai in Facebook. She writes: ‘I always had tremendous fear to open up to you, feeling scared about being open to you, because the moment I come to see you, or come near you, you are such powerful addictive space, I feel I will be lost in it!’ I tell you, you will find you in it; you will never be lost in it! Please understand, when you are afraid of your own core being, you are afraid of the love which comes from the core being of the Master. I have never seen the Master’s love making you lose you. I have always seen the Master’s love making you find you.
This great truth is perfected in the space of Advaitha, in the space of Advaitha, in the presence of the Master. Please understand, that is why I insist on you coming down and spending time with the Master in his physical presence where this truth is transmitted to you in the supportive, protective, caring, loving ambience, energy field of the Master. At least, the initiation should happen in the physical presence. The initiation should happen in the physical presence.
So, understand, the truth of Advaitha, it is like medicines across the counter. You can get it from wherever you are just through two-way video-conferencing. But, for surgery, you have to come to the operating theatre. So, for real transformation, you have to come to the presence of the Master where the transformation becomes your reality, becomes part of your inner-space.
The story of Padmapada, one of the great disciples of Adi Shankaracharya, proves clearly that just by the feeling-connection with him, feeling-connection with Adi Shankara, he has mastered Nature. He was so powerful, in tune with Nature, he was so beautifully in sync with Nature! You may or may not know the story.
He (Padmapada) was a great disciple of Adi Shankara, but is not that intellectually capable, but highly devoted, dedicated, integrated to the Master, integrated to his disciple-hood. One day, he went to wash the clothes of the Master to the other banks of the river. He was washing there. Some of the other disciples of Shankara were discussing, they were making fun of Padmapada. ‘What is this? This fellow is all the time washing clothes! Did he come here to become a laundry man? If he is not studying any scriptures, not contemplating, when is he going to get enlightened, master Nature, Prakriti, life?’
Shankara was just laughing. He (Padmapada) may be a little less capable in an intellectual way, but he is an amazing intelligent being who is doing what needs to be done first, who is putting first things first. Shankara wanted to show this to the other disciples. So he just gets up and calls from where he is: ‘Padmapada, please come!’ Actually he used the word for the first time – “Padmapada” (“Lotus Feet”). Earlier, his (Padmapada’s) name was different. He just calls the disciple.
The moment the Master calls, the disciple forgot everything. He just starts walking on the river! The river thought, ‘Oh, God, now I have to protect him! When somebody has such a deep space of trust with the whole Cosmos.....’ – Master is the representation of the whole Cosmos – ‘.....I can’t allow him to suffer! I can’t let him down!’ So, the river just makes lotus flowers and holds his feet wherever he puts his feet.
Please understand, the Lotus will never happen in a river, because a river is flowing water. It only happens in a pond, stable water. But, here, the lotus is happening in river water.
And the river holds his feet wherever he walks (by making huge lotus flowers appear wherever the disciple, Padmapada, puts his feet) and makes him cross the river!
Usually, people will be anxious when they are crossing a river to reach the other side. But, here, a river is anxious when a person is crossing that she has to reach him to the other side!
Because every feet, his (the disciple’s) every step is held by a lotus, he was called “Padmapada”.
Shankara demonstrated to all his disciples the need for the loving space, the need for the loving space for the transmission of the Advaithic truth to happen. Because, your birth itself has happened when you denied the Self, Advaitha! Something that deep which is able to make you assume the human body and broken mind cannot be transcended unless you trust somebody more than your human body and broken mind. So, the Master makes himself available for you to experience the Completion of the love circle. He makes it possible for you to experience the Completion of the love circle.
Constantly reminding you of the context of Advaithic space is the constitution of the Master’s space. Please understand, whatever he does, he stands for constantly reminding you the context of Advaitha, constantly reminding you to stand in the space of cosmic non-duality.
Karma, the hangover of the past! Please listen! We always feel, whenever we start anything, things are against us, because in the past we failed. But we forget why we failed in the past. We may not have had intelligence, we may not have had what all is required. Because you don’t have whatever is required and you failed, it does not mean you are going to fail forever. Unfortunately, illogical belief of impossibility in your inner-space is “Karma”. Illogical belief of impossibility! Please catch it. This is the Facebook statement today for all of you! “Illogical belief of impossibility is Karma”! In your inner-space, illogical belief of impossibility, when it becomes pattern, that is “Karma”. If you build self-doubt when you grow up, you are like Dhritarashtra.
Please listen! Developing self-doubt in the course of growing up is accumulating the Karma, “Agamya” (like Dhritarashtra). Encouraging the self-hatred with which you happened is “Prarabdha Karma” – like Shakuni. Coming down to the human body with self-denial is “Sanchita Karma” – like Duryodhana. Understand? Self-Denial is given birth by Self-Doubt, and nourished, nurtured by Self-Hatred. All impossibilities is a combination of these three being held together by Self-Blackmailing – Gandhari. Gandhari held all the three together – Dhritarashtra, Shakuni and Durodhana – because she is blood-relative of all three. She is the head of the family of all three. The self-blackmaling pattern – Gandhari – keeps Dhritarashtra, Shakuni and Duryodhana together. If Gandhari was not there, at least Shakuni would not have stayed with Duryodhana, Dhritarashtra would not have allowed Shakuni to stay.
Understand, even in you, the constant self-blackmailing pattern..... Let me define self-blackmailing pattern: ‘If the same way things go on, then what will happen to my identity? I will become nobody! Where will I end my life? I will have to put my foot down!’ Which forces you to put your foot down! But, unfortunately, whenever you want to put your foot down, you put it in your mouth! Putting the foot down is what I call “self-blackmailing pattern”. You always think, ‘No, if I don’t put my foot down, it will go in a different direction, it will go in a different way. What will happen to my identity?’ Constantly, everywhere you think, ‘I will have to live in the same way.’ Understand, nothing, nothing needs to be lived in the same way. You don’t need to worry.
Self-Doubt, Self-Hatred, Self-Denial, held together by Self-Blackmailing pattern, leads to destruction. Only in the pure, beautiful Advaithic space, you will even understand, look beyond the self-blackmailing pattern with which you are suffering. Self-blackmailing does not need to be your lifestyle. Self-blackmailing does not need to be the way you are approaching, cognizing your life.
I will give the essence of today’s satsangh in Hindi.
The medicine for the great wound of Self-Doubt, Self-Hatred, Self-Denial, Self-Blackmailing is Master’s love!
With this, I will move to the Kalpataru process.
Please, all the participants who came for Kalpataru in Haridwar and in St. Louis-Tirumala, pick up a paper and pen. Pen down one thought you want to cause as reality, and all the incompletions, impossibilities, doubts you have towards causing that thought as reality. Pen down these two.
All the Inner Awakening participants, you can go for your Yoga session; then you have one hour time. Today I wanted you guys to try causing Inner Awakening for at least two or three people. Try and come back. This is your homework. Then I will lead you to the next process. Try and come back.
(After a few minutes.....................)
Yes....now please sit straight. Complete with all the self-doubts, impossibilities, incompletions you carry, and drop them. Create a space for what you want to cause as reality. Visualize, hold on to what you want to cause as reality. Namah Shivaya!
KALPATARU MEDITATION IN PROGRESS.....................
I bless you all! The space you created, let it become reality! The thought you created, let it become reality!
We will start the Kalpataru Darshan.
Ma Muktha, Los Angeles! Blessings for Meena’s birthday! Meena, with all the auspiciousness, you will be with me, I will be with you! Blessings! Birthday blessings!
We will start the darshan for Haridwar. Then we will move to St. Louis.
I bless you all! Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, Enriching and Causing the eternal bliss, Nithyananda! Thank you!
