Yes! Today, in the Inner Awakening, sixth day, we will be working on COMPLETION WITH OTHERS, others who are really not “others”. Please understand, whoever you think as others are just extension of you. By the wrong definition you call them as “others”. Especially people directly who are involved in your life, whoever you meet every day, you can never call them as “others” unless you are violent. Whoever you meet more than thrice a day is not “others”, please understand. Whoever you meet, when I say “you meet”, not just “seeing”, even if you remember somebody more than thrice a day, that person is no more “others”, he is part of you, very much part of you. He may be your watchman, or security guard, or an old friend, or your guru, god; you may not be seeing them thrice a day. You may even see your god thrice a day, but you cannot see your watchman thrice a day! HAHAHAHA! You may or may not see them thrice a day, but even if you remember them, please understand, you cannot call them any more as “others”; they are very much part of you. Incompletion with them is incompletion with yourself. Incompletion with them is nothing but incompletion with yourself. This is one of the biggest blind spots for Advaithis.
Please listen! For Hindus, this is one of the biggest blind spots. In every street in India, you will find at least two-three persons who are meditating, doing puja for the last twenty-five years. So, meditating twenty years, doing puja for twenty years, doing some spiritual practice for twenty years and all is not a big thing in India; but, if you look into their lives, they will not even be talking to their spouse, they will not even be on talking terms with their siblings, they will not even be on talking terms with their own kids! Understand, this is one of the biggest blind spots Hindus suffer from. They think Advaitha, enlightenment, is like a relationship between you and God where you are individually having a contract with God; what you do to him, he does to you, it is only related to that; and you are like a water-tight compartment, island; and whatever you do will be kept in accounts, and when you leave the body that God will send a special flight and just airlift you. No! It is one of the most unfortunate beliefs and blind spots with which we Hindus are suffering.
Please understand, I have seen some of the greatest dharmic people who really, really, are sitting and doing meditation, japa, puja, spiritual practices for years; but just their own spouse, daughter, son, kids, they cannot handle! Because, neither they thought nor they have been told that others are nothing but extension of you, part of you. We never put our energy in that direction. That is one of the biggest blind spots. This is also one of the biggest blind spots in our spirituo-socio fabric. Even though we are such a strong religious society, community, the spirituo-socio fabric of Completion amongst us is missing. That is why the Dharma, the Vedic tradition has to face so much of difficulties, so much of suffering. Completion amongst us is one of the important spiritual qualities which need to be practiced and enriched. Please understand, Completion amongst us!
You will never find these funny things anywhere else in the world. In the same village, same temple, in the morning one group will go and do puja in a different way; in the evening another group will go and do puja in a different way. Both timings cannot clash. If somebody goes early and does puja, or if somebody goes late and does puja, there will be a riot and bloodshed! In the morning, one team will go and decorate the deity with green saree, and in the evening the other team will go and decorate the same deity with red saree. Green saree team, if there is some delay, the red saree team will straightaway kill them! If red saree team goes a little bit early, the green saree team will just kill them! Many of the Indian villages suffer with this kind of ignorance just because we have not understood this one important factor, we have not told the world, we have not told others, we have not enriched ourselves and others the very important truth: OTHERS ARE NOTHING BUT OUR OWN EXTENSION!
Our parents, our kids, our spouse, our brothers, our siblings, our sisters, everyone is extension of the patterns we carry, understand? If you think, ‘Why should I?’, they will also be thinking, ‘Why should I?’ If you think, ‘Why not me?’, they will also think, ‘Why not me?’ It is one of the biggest blind spots. And, one more thing, it is very unfortunate we emphasize so much about this “other world”. Even in Mahabharata, end of the war, both sides’ people know, each know they will achieve heaven and there all of them will live happily. Then why don’t you guys settle that before itself and live here happily? Karna knows that if he is killed in the war, he will achieve the Veera Swarga; means heaven. And he knows the opposite side’s Arjuna will also be there in the same Veera Swarga, and they are going to live peacefully. And Duryodhana knows he is going to live with Dharmaraja, Yudhishtira, in Veera Swarga. Shakuni knows he is going to live with Nakula and Sahadeva in Veera Swarga. Virata knows he is going to live with Drona in Veera Swarga. Bhishma knows he is going to live with everyone in Veera Swarga. Dhritarashtra knows he is going to live with Pandu in Veera Swarga. They all know it! It was not a belief; they all KNOW it! Because, for others only Swarga is a belief; but for them it is a knowledge, it is an experience!
It is so unfortunate we are ready to live together only if there is no other option. We are ready to live together only if there is no other option! Why can’t you consider Completion with others as the first option? Why should we be pushed for Completion with others as compulsory in life? I can say, it is a major blind spot. In course of time, due to so much of emphasis on enlightenment and moksha and nirvana, we forgot to look around us and how we are relating with the people around us.
You need to know, Vedanta has only three terminologies: Jeeva, Eshwara, Jagat. Jeeva means the Soul, you. Eshwara means God, the Whole. Jagat means Nature, Cosmos. They completely missed the component of humanity, society. Only a few scriptures added Humanity and Society into Jagat, the World. Most of the scriptures don’t even mention human society, human civilization, humanity as a component of the Cosmos, understand. For you to achieve Completion and enlightenment, the knowledge of these three is enough: first, Jeeva, individual Self; then, Eshwara, God; and then, Jagat, Universe. The amount of knowledge we had about aliens – Gandharva, Yaksha, Rakshasa, Kinnara, Kimpurusha – we did not give that much of time and energy and intelligence in the scriptures to complete with our neighbours! Go to any Indian village, you will find at least hundred people who will have the mantra to talk to Lakshmi, Kali, some Kula Daiva, Mari Amma; but they will not have the mantra to talk to their neighbour! No, really! This guy will be going and sitting in the smashaana (cremation ground) whole day and night, chanting some mantra to talk to some Kali, Kaalabhairava, Karuppuswami...! I am not saying trying to talk to them is wrong; but, I am saying, even if you talk to them they will advise you, ‘Bring Completion between you and others.’
I don’t think originally this blind spot existed; because, our Masters were so powerful, enlightened and brilliant, they did not leave this blind spot. But, in course of time, priorities and interpretation changed in such a way that everything became just Jeeva, Eshwara, Jagat; never the society around that was considered. Your relationship with yourself, God and Universe, if these three is complete, that is enough for you to live in Perpetual Completion, Complete Completion. So, the blind spot, the humanity around us was left.
Understand, today we are going to work on that blind spot and complete. The humanity around you, the society around you decides your Completion with yourself, your Completion with others, your Completion with God, your Completion with the Universe. How much ever you may pay, attend twenty-one day meditation workshops, raise yourself to Samadhi, one phone call from your spouse is enough to ground you to the underground reality....not even ground reality! She or he is almost ten times more powerful than me! Here I have to work almost ten hours to bring you to the space of Completion and....almost Samadhi; you are just there in one push, Energy Darshan, you will be in Samadhi! Unfortunately, before the Energy Darshan, during the tea break, you get one phone call, and the whole thing I have done from morning to evening, ten hours, is over in ten minutes! For some people, ten minutes is too much time! ‘Oh yeah...what do you mean sitting with your Swami leaving me all alone here?!! Letting me pay the bills!’ That’s it! You are not even in ground reality; you are in “underground” reality! You are almost buried!
Understand, unfortunately we have not taken the society around us into consideration to live in the space of Perpetual Completion and Living Advaitha. I think this is going to be one of my unique contributions to live Advaitha. Because, in these three – the Individual Self (Jeeva) and Universe (Jagat) and God (Eshwara) – nothing has changed from the time of Adi Shankara to me now, nothing has changed from the time of Kapila to me now. But, the human society around us is completely different from the time of Kapila and now, from the time of Shankara and now. At that time, Completion with the people with whom you are living may not be that important due to various reasons and lifestyle. But, now, due to the lifestyle changes and various reasons, that becomes a very important component. That is why I am adding one more component in these three. Instead of just Jeeva (Self), Eshwara (God), Jagat (Universe), I am making it Self, God, Universe, AND Human Society, human-beings around you. You need to be in the space of Completion with all the four. You need to bring Completion with all the four. You need to have a clear knowledge about all the four. You need to remember about all the four. You cannot leave any one as a blind spot in all these four. Clear? You cannot leave anything as a blind spot. You cannot leave Eshwara as a blind spot like atheists, stupid atheists have done.
If you want to put somebody in depression and take revenge, somehow make him an atheist. Give him some stupid atheist books which look very logical, which suits the rational, radical thinking. I don’t call this rational, radical thinking at all; it is rational riotical thinking! A new word! Means, thinking with so much of violence and discarding anything and everything without having the sensitivity or the intelligence or the patience to listen. See, before listening, the moment you think, ‘Baah! What is there? What Kalpataru? Who knows what it is! Throw it away!’ For that you don’t need intelligence. If you are a stupid donkey that is enough! Only to look into and see, ‘How it can be useful to me and how it can be useful to my family and others?’, only for that, to look into that you need intelligence. ‘Come on, let me try and see! There must be something! Let me go once and see, try that Kalpataru meditation.’ For this only you need intelligence!
Understand, just discarding Eshwara, having a blind spot about Eshwara, is not going to solve. And same way, having a blind spot about Jagat is not going to solve. Having a blind spot about Jeeva, Individual Self, is not going to solve. Having a blind spot about the people with whom you are living is not going to solve. It is not going to bring your life into the space of Completion. The Complete Completion happens only when you are complete with the people with whom you are living.
I have a story about an angry wife on the phone:
Angry wife on the phone to her husband: ‘Where the hell are you?’
Husband: ‘Darling, you remember that jewellery shop where you saw that diamond necklace and fell in love with it? But I didn’t have enough money at that time, and I said, “Baby, it will be yours one day!”?’
Wife immediately says: ‘Yes, yes, yes, I remember it my love!’
Husband: ‘I am in the pub just next to it.’
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Understand, Completion with others is one of the important components which need to be added to what Kapila and Shankar have taught, to live Advaitha. In their time, Completion with others was not that important a priority because of the society’s situation. But, now, it is a very important priority because of society’s situation.
So, today, we will work on that important component – Completion with Others. Even if you have attended Inner Awakening, I will request all of you sincerely, wherever you have incompletion with people with whom you are living, whenever you have incompletion, take responsibility for it; don’t allow that tumour to exist; complete, complete, complete. Complete! Bring Completion to it.
Yes...it is time. We will move to the Kalpataru process. All the devotees, disciples who are here for the Kalpataru process, please sit straight. Pick up a paper and pen. Pen down one thought you want to cause as reality, and all the impossibilities, doubts, you have about that thought. Pen down both.
(After a few minutes...........)
Now please sit straight. Complete with all the incompletions you wrote and drop them. Hold the space for what you want to create. Whatever you want to achieve, visualize it has already become real, it is real currently. Whatever you wanted to create, create a space for it and visualize it. Namah Shivaya!
KALPATARU MEDITATION IN PROGRESS...........
Thathaasthu! I bless you all, whatever space you created, let it become reality! Whatever visualization you held on to, let it become reality! Thathaasthu!
Mumbai-Chembur, blessings for Maitreyananda and the team of Tamil Sangham in Mumbai! Blessings! My blessings! You guys will be successful making Swamiji’s visit to Mumbai! Blessings!
And....I will move to the next segment of the morning satsangh – Dial-the-Avatar.
Today we have a Sangha meeting for South Africa, Europe, Australia, New Zealand.
DIAL-THE-AVATAR IN PROGRESS...........
Alright! My blessings! It is time to move to the Kalpataru Darshan. I bless you all! Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, Enriching and Causing eternal bliss, Nithyananda! Thank you!
