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!
