Today, the sixth day of the Meenakshi Brahmotsavam! Mahadeva and Meenakshi are gracing us on the sixth day of Meenakshi Brahmotsavam. Let us bow down to them.
In Bidadi, Meenakshi is gracing on the Golden Peacock Vehicle, Suvarna Mayura Vaahana, and Sundareshwara is gracing with a pearl crown, pearl and rudraksha crown. (Arathi being done to Meenakshi and Sundareshwara at Bidadi is projected onto the screen). Hope you guys are able to see.
Yes! We will move to the next part of the satsangh.
Today, in the Inner Awakening, we are going to expand on, we are going to work on Root Patterns, the pattern of struggle with which you are constantly keeping your inauthenticity alive.
Many times, whenever I open up and share a truth, people ask me, ‘Swamiji, tell us how to do.....technique.’ The moment I give the technique, ‘Swamiji, how to do this technique, can you give some other technique?’ The moment I give a technique for the technique, they say, ‘Can you give a technique for the technique of the technique?’!! Means, in your effort to postpone the tansformation, in your effort to postpone Authenticity happening, just to keep your inauthenticity alive, you go on making all the techniques ineffective on you. Please understand, root pattern is the system through which you continue to keep your struggle and inauthenticity – the strong belief that you cannot do it – alive! All of you understand? Keeping “you cannot do it” alive! See, as long as that “you cannot do it” is kept alive only......
Listen! I am defining Root Pattern. I don’t speak from my mind; I speak from spontaneity. Listen! Root Pattern is nothing but the pattern through which you keep your struggle, your impossibility, your inauthenticity alive. Why you don’t want to have a breakthrough? Because, if you have a breakthrough, then more and more possibility for transformation will open up.
I have seen, when people come to the ashram in the name of seekers and sannyasis, they don’t want to take any responsibility and make it successful, because if they do one, then, naturally, the reward for one success is one more responsibility! Please understand, the reward for one success is one more responsibility!
So, understand, Root Pattern is what Buddha calls as “Mara”, Advaitha calls as “Maya”. In every tradition, what we consider as the biggest blockage for enlightenment is Root Pattern. But do you know the funny thing? Root Pattern is not that powerful as it is portrayed in many traditions! Mara is not that powerful! Maya is not that powerful!
Please listen! Just a few days before, myself and one of my Mahants, both of us were going for an evening boat ride. When we went, don’t ask! Just a few hours, somehow we stole from our tight schedule. Myself and Mokshapriyan, we were sitting. So, at that time, there was a discussion, very serious discussion. It is very difficult to get Mokshapriyan’s listening! There was a very serious discussion about why our Vision Department has no vision.
He was telling, ‘Swamiji, we need to bring new hands, new people inside, because these guys, constantly they are in fear syndrome, Swamiji.’
I asked, ‘Why? Tell me.’
‘See, they do some mistake and then get fired and fall into fear, and because of that fear they do more mistakes, and it becomes a vicious circle!’
I was laughing! Please understand!
I told him, ‘This moment I am ready to liberate them all. I will be the most happiest person to liberate them this moment, and say, “This moment you become a Shrimahant. Run it on your own”.’
I am the first person, I will be the first person....because, if you keep anybody under fear, you will be kept under fear, understand! Whatever you maintain with people around you, you will be made to maintain that. This is a law of life. If you maintain joy with people around you, you will be made to maintain joy inside you. If you maintain trust with people around you, you will be made to maintain trust inside you, because you are not intelligent enough to separate you and others all the time. So, be very clear, what you spread with the people around you, that will be automatically forced inside you. If you are all the time inside a charcoal godown, naturally the charcoal dust will get into your system. If you are all the time inside an acid tank, naturally the acid will somehow get into your system. If you are all the time inside the nectar pot, naturally the nectar will get into your system. So, what is the pattern with which you hold the people around you....
I am the last person....not even last, I will never want to hold people through fear, because I know the science. If I have to hold people through fear, I will be held under fear. It is a law of life. I always wanted to hold people by inspiration, joy, vision, success, bliss, powerfulness, Completion.
I asked him, ‘Please you find a solution and come back with some solution.’
I am sharing this incident just to reveal this one important truth: With what you hold people around you, is your Root Pattern! Inside me, I constantly hold people around me through my bliss, seeing their possibility. That is why life also holds me in the same way, understand? But, unfortunately, people get frightened by the bliss and transformation to their possibility. Many people who come in the name of seekers, they are afraid of transformation! Because, transformation means more responsibility! And once you take it up, the reward will be more responsibility. Once you take it up, the reward will be more responsibility.
Once, the Pancheshwar was sitting and questioning somebody who has done some mistake. See, in our Sangha, we have a self-corrective mechanism – “Pancheshwar”. Means, either five Shrimahants or Mahants sit and take an oath that ‘We will handle these rare situations and the person, only based on Dharma, the Advaitha tatwa.’ And then they conduct an investigation or inquiry into that problem or the mistakes of the person, help the person to come out of that mental setup; that’s all. And the person takes a prayaschitta (atonement) on his own, or her own, whatever that person has to do to get out of that mental pattern.
So, once the Pancheshwar was sitting and inquiring a person. The person had done some mistake and not ready to accept. The Pancheshwar decided that this person should not be in our ashram, or, at least, should be transferred to the branch centre. I told very clearly, ‘We are hoping to have ten-lakh sadhus. The structure we are creating is for a million sannyasis. So, you think this kind of models, specimens, sample pieces will not come in the ten-lakh? So, like this, ten-thousand will come in that ten-lakh. So, handle this one, train this one, and get trained.’ Understand, success in responsibility is rewarded with more responsibility. I told the Pancheshwar, ‘Yes, you are successful in your responsibility. The reward now for you is more responsibility. Now you have to be successful handling this one person, because you are going to have ten-lakh persons like this, understand?’
I think you need to understand that two things. One truth, the reward for the success is more responsibility. And, if you want success, you should take more responsibility.
I told the Pancheshwar, ‘You guys are planning for ten-lakh sannyasis. We are working towards that vision. Because, the vision I give is the vision you carry, you hold.’
I am very clear, the whole Sangha is clearly working towards causing ten-lakh, means, one-million, spiritually educated, experienced, radiating sannyasis. Please understand, I will cause this while I am in this body. That is the only way Sanatana Hindu Dharma can be revived practically as every individual’s life strategy, life science. If you see the Master Plan of my Samadhi, you will be shocked. Samadhi alone, ten-thousand samadhis, I am doing the Master Plan! Means, in this ten-lakh, whoever becomes enlightened while they are living, they will all have their Samadhi around my Samadhi. So, at least, at least, ten-thousand enlightened beings will have Samadhi in one place! This larger responsibility needs you to take more responsibility.
Your Root Pattern should become powerless by the way you take responsibility, or your responsibilities will become powerless by the way your Root Pattern overpowers you. Listen, it is the game of who wins over whom, who declares their supremacy over whom, whether your responsibility is going to declare its supremacy over your Root Pattern, or your Root Pattern is going to declare its supremacy over your responsibility. That’s all! That’s all! Are you going to be chanting “impossibility” twenty-four hours as Ajapa Japa – “Impossible, Impossible, Impossible! Sitting down also impossible! Finally, lying down also impossible! Eating is also impossible! Nothing is possible! Impossible, Impossible, Impossible, Impossible!”? Are you going to be doing that Japa of impossibility, or “Possible, Possible, Possible, Possible, Possible!”? It is just a war whether your Root Pattern is going to declare its supremacy over you, or your responsibility is going to declare its supremacy over your Root Pattern. The whole thing boils down to that one line.
Root Pattern is the constant impossibility you cherish.
Yesterday I was put a question by Pragnesh: ‘Swamiji, Please define Advaitha, feeling oneness with other people. At the physical level, mind level, there cannot be oneness due to uniqueness of each individual. There can be connection only at the heart, or at the heart level of consciousness, awareness. Can you please explain?’
I think this question you will understand more when you work on the Root Pattern. Pragnesh, I will show you the experiential answer for that question today itself, because, today we are going to work on the Root Pattern. You will see, even at the physical and mental level, Advaitha can be experienced. “Each one is unique” itself is Advaitha! “Each one is the same only” is not Advaitha. “Each one is unique” is Advaitha. How? You will see today!
Oneness is not Advaitha, understand. Advaitha is non-duality, but not oneness. The moment you say “one”, there is “two”. So, this has to be experienced. Today you will see.
The Root Pattern, the pattern which started patterns in you, the parent of patterns in you, is Root Pattern. Parent of patterns in you is Root Pattern. Listen!
At some point, the Advaitha is lost in every human-being’s life. At that moment only the Root Pattern starts growing in you. Now, completing with the Root Pattern, getting back to the original state of Advaitha, the original space of Advaitha, is what we are going to work on today. Today that is what we are going to work on.
One thing I am very happy. Let me express in my own words directly. I am happy with this whole batch, with all you guys. The sincerity you guys carry is more than what I expected for such a large batch. Please understand, such a large batch, the whole overall sincerity is more than what I expected. So, you guys are doing what you need to do. So, I commit with you guys and promise I will do what I need to do. I will surely do what I need to do. With this team I can really feel that we will be able to help everyone to find the Root Pattern and complete with it.
Any adult, the moment your body becomes physically mature, the first thing you need to do, the person needs to be taught is, finding the Root Pattern and completing with it. Finding the Root Pattern and completing with it. It is very unfortunate we human-beings lost this science. Human-beings lost this since.
Mahadeva’s Trishul represents Completion with Root Pattern. Because, only his Trishul can destroy our Root Pattern. Only his Trishul is powerful enough to find our Root Pattern. And you are in the city which is held by Mahadeva’s Trishul – Varanasi, Ananda Vana. And, that is why, when Shankara divides the areas and makes Shankaracharyas – in the South he makes Dakshinamnaya Shringeri Peetha, Uttaramnaya, Paschimamnaya, Purvamnaya – he makes all the four Peethas, Purva, Uttara, Paschima, Dakshina. Then after the successor is installed, the Shankaracharyas are supposed to retire. The retiring place is Moolamnaya – Kanchi. But he says very clearly, in any of these, Kashi is not covered, Kashi does not come under any of these five. Because Kashi is held by Mahadeva’s Trishula, it is called Oordhwamnaya! He makes it as a separate Amnaya, Kashi. And this is the place, Varanasi is the place, where he conquered Mandana Mishra, and Mandana Mishra became his disciple Sureshwaracharya. Kashi has become Oordhwamnaya, because Mahadeva holds this Ananda Vana by the tip of his Trishul.
Somebody asked me, ‘Swamiji, you gave names to so many cities, spiritual names.....’
Many of you may be aware that for Ohio I gave the spiritual name “Prayag”, for Oklahoma “Somanatham”, for New York “Varanasi”, for London “Kashi”. I have given spiritual name wherever our ashrams and temples are there. For St. Louis “Thirumala”. Only “Kashi” name I have given to two cities; means, one “Kashi” (London), one “Varanasi” (New York).
Somebody asked me, ‘Swamiji, you love this name “Ananda Vana”. Why you have not given this name to a city?’
I wanted to give this name “Ananda Vana” wherever my quarters are built, wherever there is another staying place for me. In any ashram if there is a staying place for me, that space should be called “Ananda Vana”. Because, this Ananda Vana is held by Mahadeva in his Trishul, understand. In this sacred place, right place, right person, right process you are going to go through today! Only Mahadeva’s Trishul can destroy your Root Pattern. And, I commit with you guys, it will destroy all your Root Patterns and liberate you all from the Root Patterns, free you all from the Root Patterns! Freedom from all the Root Patterns is the real freedom! Freedom from the Root Patterns is the real freedom!
The essence of today’s satsangh – three statements:
· How you hold the people around you, the same way life will hold you. If you hold your teamily with love, trust, joy, life will hold you with love, trust, joy. If you hold your teamily with fear, life will hold you with fear. If you hold your teamily with bliss and possibility, life will hold you in the same way with bliss and possibility. I am very clear, I hold my teamily with bliss and possibility. How you hold your teamily, life will hold you the same way. That is the first statement.
· Second: Your Root Pattern is the first pattern which moved you away from Advaitha, brought you to hell, started and continuing to torture you.
· Third: The good news is, you can discover your Root Pattern and complete it. The best news is, today we will do it! There is no need that always after a good news, bad news has to come. No! After a good news, best news can come.
Ma Jnanatma has a question: ‘You have told earlier, how you hold people is what they are attracting. That is the only way they will get awakened to life. So, is it not that Swamiji is putting them into fear, because that is the only thing that will awaken them and they are attracting it?’
No! Please be very clear. I hold all of you only with bliss and possibility. You need to know, even the bliss, when it comes too much, you get frightened! Because, bliss will remind you of all your possibility which will take you away from your usual cosy slumber with which you go on cheating yourself and me, understand! Yesterday, when I asked you, now nicely you were cheating, ‘No, no, no, no, no, I have to be here...’, so that you don’t need to be doing anything else, and here you can be sleeping in the tech pit. So, look in, what keeps you cosy? That holds you in fear, not me! I hold you in bliss and possibility. That is why I am always held by life in bliss and possibility. Mokshapriyan, clear? So, I am not responsible for the fear of the Vision Department.
When there is bliss and possibility, you get frightened of possibility, ‘If I am successful in this, by mistake if I am successful in this, more work will come to me, more responsibility. Then I will become a Mahant, Shrimahant, and I may become like Swamiji. Oh God! Who wants his life? You can only go to bed by night 11:30, 12 o’clock! And, even after that, you have to attend to many things. And early morning you have to be out and be here! It is not one day, two days, but day in and day out! And you will have to be all the time smiling, joyful!’
So, be very clear, I cannot hold anybody in fear, because I don’t have fear. Only what I have, with that I can hold you guys. See, if I have a knife in my hand, I can hold you all through the knife. If I have a flower, I can hold you guys only through flower. I only have flower with me; but the flower itself is so much, you are afraid of getting into it, being held by it.
Intensity is not violence. Intensity of Swamiji is not aggression. In aggression, your possibility will be denied. In violence, your possibility will be denied. In intensity, your possibility will be constantly reminded to you. There is a big difference between intensity and violence. In violence, the end expectation is, you getting destroyed. In intensity, the end result, expectation is, you flowering. So, the training model for our Sangha is intensity, not violence. Clear?
So, with this, I will move to the Kalpataru process.
All the cities all over the world, and the people from Ananda Vana, I request all of you to take a paper and pen. Pen down one desire you want to cause as reality, and all the doubts, fears, impossibilities you have around that thought. Pen down both.
(After a few minutes.....................)
Yes....now sit straight. Complete with all the doubts, incompletions, fears you have. Drop them. Hold on to the space you want to cause as reality. If you want health, see you are healthy. If you want wealth, see you are wealthy. Hold that space. Hold that space sincerely, intensely, completely.
KALPATARU MEDITATION IN PROGRESS.....................
Thathaasthu! I bless you all! The space you hold, let it become reality! The space you created, let it become reality! The visualization you held, let it become reality! Thathaasthu!
We will have darshan for the people who came in Ananda Vana.
I bless you all! After this, we will have only Mahants meeting. Only Mahants can sit. Others can leave the hall after the darshan.
So, now, I bless you all! Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, Enriching and Causing eternal bliss, Nithyananda! Thank you!
