Today I will expand on Living Advaitha from Ananda Vana.
Just now we all went and had Kalabhairava darshan and back from Kalabhairava Temple. This temple is the “Moola” Bhairava Temple; means, the first Kalabhairava Temple. When Kalabhairava “happened” to teach a lesson to Brahma and removed Brahma’s ego, he cut the head of Brahma, the fifth head, and the skull got stuck in his hand. So, he comes to Annapurni. Annapurni puts so much food the skull was satisfied, and it gets detached from the hand of Mahadeva. So, Kalabhairava sits in Varanasi and blesses the whole world. This is the “Moola” Bhairava Temple. Today all the Inner Awakening participants and all of us went to have darshan of “Moola” Bhairava Temple. Kalabhairava is “Moola” Bhairava, first temple. And from here the tradition of worshipping Kalabhairava has spread all over the world.
“Nithyam Adwitheeyam”! In Kalabhairava Ashtakam there is a beautiful verse! “Always in the space of Advaitha”! “Nithyam Adwitheeyam Ishta Daivatham Niranjanam”! Eternally established in Advaitha, Nithya Advaitha!
Today I will expand on Living Advaitha, the Nithya Advaitha.
Please understand, it is very unfortunate we believe the spiritual experience can happen on its own. Please understand, spiritual experience can happen on its own, like Ramana Maharshi says, if you stop disturbing. You go on disturbing, but you expect the spiritual experience to happen on its own. All our spiritual practice, all our spiritual practice is just stopping the stopping the experience. Listen! Stopping the stopping of the experience! Stopping the self-abusal we do to ourselves, stopping the losing of the spiritual experience we do to ourselves, understand.
I was just contemplating when I heard that stotra in the Kalabhairava Temple – “Nityam Adwitheeyam” – how the Advaitha becomes “nithya”, eternally existing truth. Please understand, if you look in, you will understand, even while you are coming across with your so-called fears, powerlessness, right, wrong, that is why all the strategies you make as if you are going to be here forever, owning the land itself. The concept of owning the land or property or some assets, wealth, arises from the strong belief that you are going to exist forever. I tell you, please understand, step by step if you intranalyze what I am saying, you will get the exact truth.
There is part of you which is consciousness, constantly making you feel the qualities of consciousness as your own. Unfortunately, there is a part of you which does not have the qualities of consciousness completely – means, your infrastructure. Please understand, because you are living in your house, your house should not start feeling it is independent intelligence. But if your house starts behaving as if it is independent intelligence, it is wrong cognition. Same way, because consciousness is residing in your body, if your body starts behaving itself as an independent intelligence, then wrong cognition. Body is intelligent as long as the consciousness resides in it, as long as it supports the expression of consciousness through it.
There is a beautiful story:
In some Indian village festival they were taking the temple deity on a donkey for procession. In North Indian villages that habit is there. In South India, they carry the deities on bulls.....to be precise, bullocks. In the North, there is a habit in villages still on the donkeys they carry; because in the North the Utsava Moorthis are very light....smaller and very light. In the South, the Utsava Moorthis are heavy, the “procession deities” are very heavy in the South. In the North, still the habit is there, they will carry it on a donkey, and sometimes on a horse; there are some places.....on elephants. So, whatever animals they have in that region, they carry.
One day the temple procession was going on, on a donkey the deity was kept and it was taken around, and everyone in the village was offering flowers, showing arathi, incense, worshipping the deity on the donkey. Suddenly the donkey thought, ‘Oh, I think from yesterday I have become enlightened. Otherwise why the whole village is worshipping me?’ In the first street he thought, ‘What happened to this place? Usually they beat me and drive me out. Sometimes these kids put crackers on my tail. But today these fellows are worshipping me!’ In the second street the same thing happens; he saw the worshipping. He becomes a little egoistic. In the third street he has gone crazy. When he was walking in the fourth street, he thought, ‘I think I have become enlightened two days ago!’ The moment he came to the conclusion, he decided, ‘Why should I carry this statue on me?’ He just shook and dropped the deity. Then you know what would have happened! He had his real puja from the whole village!
Understand, the donkey is worshipped as long as it carries the deity. Your body is great as long as it remembers it carries the super-consciousness and it strategizes itself as the infrastructure to express the super-consciousness, not as an impediment to your super-consciousness. The body and mind should be a beautiful tool for you to express the glory of consciousness. Temperamental mind and temperature body tampers with the conscious expression. Please understand, temperamental mind and temperature increased in the body due to the temperamental mind, constantly tampers with the expression of your consciousness. Be powerful, but not temperamental. Be powerful, but not temperamental. Take spontaneous decision, but not temperamental. Understand, there is a difference between spontaneous decision and temperamental decision. Let your decisions be spontaneous, let your decisions be strong, let your decisions be powerful, let your decisions be intelligent.
I will give you the examples of spontaneous and temperamental decision. Spontaneous decisions are from the cognition you are consciousness. Temperamental decisions are from the inability to handle the situation. When your body starts thinking it is eternal due to the existence of consciousness, you behave in a stupid way. When your consciousness gives you the feeling you are eternal, when your consciousness gives you the feeling that you are ever existing, remember, in that context the “you” is not body and mind. You is you! You is you, not yours! Don’t mistake yours as you. Yours is not you. You is inclusive of yours. Yours is not you. You is inclusive of yours. All yours put together and something more is you. But all yours cannot equate to you. You is you. It is very unfortunate, if you think yours is you. Your body, mind, everything is part of you, all that inclusively is you, but that does not mean your body and mind is you. When you strategize, the confidence given to you that you are going to exist eternally, the confidence comes from the context of “you are the consciousness”. But, but if you take that confidence and separate from the context, and from the context you have the body, mind, you start using, you become the worst strategist in your life, you end up like the donkey with the deity.
The most unfortunate thing is yours becoming enemy of you. It is like you give birth to your kid, bring up the kid thinking he is going to be a support for your life. Suddenly, after he grows up, he becomes your first enemy. That is exactly the stupidity we will be committing if we start behaving as if our body and mind is consciousness. Because, please understand, if your body and mind starts using the confidence of the consciousness, it is like children using the influence of the parents without becoming responsible like the parents. That is why all these rich-family kids are always spoilt brats, because they get the power and access of the consciousness. They get the power and access to the power and wealth of the father, but don’t become responsible like the father.
If your body and mind behaves that it is eternal, or it strategizes thinking it is, it will end up where the spoilt brats end. Understand, the confidence which constantly oozes in you that you are eternal should be cherished, encouraged, enjoyed from the context you are consciousness. When you encourage and strengthen and enrich the context that you are consciousness, the “Nithya Adwitheeyam”, the eternal Advaitha becomes lifestyle in you, and even your body and mind starts falling in tune with it. Even a donkey can start understanding it is carrying the temple deity and that is why it is respected, and it will start doing that job very responsibly.
I have seen in my hometown, the temple elephant. Now the elephant is no more; it has died. But I have seen that elephant will behave so softly, so softly, peacefully with people! I have seen with my own eyes, one kid has fallen at the feet of the elephant. Actually that elephant was walking in the temple procession. One small kid has gone to have the blessings. After the elephant blessed and he was walking, the kid has exactly fallen at the feet. If that guy puts the feet down now, the kid will be crushed. I have seen that elephant stand like that without putting that feet down at least full two minutes till the parents came and picked up the kid! And even after that he was not sure that the kid has been removed completely; so he walks backside at least three-four feet. He makes sure the kid is safe. Only after seeing the kid with his own eyes he was comfortable. What I am describing, thousands were witness. In 1987, during the temple festival, this happened.
Even the donkey can pick up the intelligence that it is the deity on his back which is worshipped and respected, and it can fall in tune. So, even your body and mind can pick up the intelligence that it is the eternal feeling from the consciousness, so, let us be tuned to that and celebrate that and enjoy the consciousness of the eternal. Son can be tuned, realizing the wealth and power he has is because of his father’s responsibility. ‘Let me also become responsible like him and become a strength for the parents.’ I have both: responsible kids and spoilt brats, both. I tell you that from my own experience. I have tons of spoilt brats who use my power, strength, influence, sometimes even wealth, and never take my responsibility. And I also have tons of responsible kids who know, ‘This power, wealth, influence, spiritual power, everything is because of the responsibility Swamiji has taken. Let me also be part of it.’ And I have tons of kids who are in-between, oscillating. Sometimes they think they should become responsible, sometimes they think, ‘No, no, no, no, no!’
I tell you, the more and more your body and mind feels the feeling of eternity is from your consciousness, the context of consciousness, I tell you, when the context of consciousness is allowed to sink in your system, even your bio-memory, muscle-memory, mind, body, everything becomes more and more responsible to radiate that eternity, to radiate that “Nithya” (eternal). The moment your body and mind starts radiating that “Nithya”, life becomes “Nithya Ananda”. “Nithya Ananda” is nothing but your “Anithya” (ephemeral) component starts becoming responsible like “Nithya” component. See, you have both components – “Nithya” and “Anithya” – eternal and ephemeral. If your ephemeral components become responsible like the eternal components of you.... For the sake of describing, I am describing even the eternal part of you as component of you. But the eternal component is YOU. It is not part of you; that IS YOU. “Nithyam Adwitheeyam”! The eternal part of you is you.
Your body and mind, if it remembers the eternal component of you, the consciousness, and starts falling in tune with that continuously, Living Advaitha becomes guaranteed.
In Kalabhairava Stotra, there is a beautiful line: “Shaanthaaya Namaha, Shaantha Jana Priyaaya Namaha”! He is the lover of the peaceful people. “O Lord, the Peaceful”, and “O Lover of the Peaceful People”! And he is the most terrorizing god! When he lands, the way he is! But, I tell you, the centre is always eternal peace! I can see, even when he lands in the body, the periphery only is shaken; the centre is eternal peace – “Shanthaaya”. If your body and mind grasp the quality of the context of eternity from the context of eternity, understand, the context of eternity from the context of eternity, not the context of eternity from the context of time.....
Listen! Context of eternity from the context of time is like past, present, future, forever. Here, when I say ‘context of eternity from the context of eternity’, even the concept of time is forgotten. As long as you measure eternity from the context of time, it is not a complete understanding of eternity. If Kaala is measured by Kaala, you don’t understand Kaala completely! Kaala is beyond Kaala and Akaala. Kaala is beyond Kaalakaala! Nithya is beyond Nithya Anithya, which can be grasped by your mind. The real Kaala is beyond Kaala Akaala, which can be grasped by your mind. So, don’t even try to understand consciousness from the context of your body and mind. Understand, it is beyond the possibilities of your body and mind. When you understand it is beyond the possibilities of your body and mind, the eternal meditation on consciousness will happen.
Please understand, anything which you understand as too big, you just get soaked into it, you just get relaxed into it, you just disappear into it. I have always seen, whenever I get questions from people, ‘Swamiji, how is it that when you walk, wherever you go, travel, people are following you and tons of people just leave everything and come away to be with you?’ Please understand, now I am telling you the business secret. No, I cannot give the word “business secret”, may be “trade secret”. Even the word “trade secret” may not be right. “Service secret”! “Service secret”, understand! I know very clearly who is going to come away with me; means, who is following, who is not going to. The moment I see that their being has grasped that I am impossible to be measured by their body and mind, I just know they are going to be with me. And, I tell you, I am not even saying you should come with me. Who wants you? I don’t want you! I already have enough people with whom I have to work and train them. If you have fear of me, I have fear of you, don’t worry! If you have love for me, I have love for you, understand.
Sometimes, people have so much of arrogance, they think if they leave me I am going to miss them! Understand, if you don’t want me in your life, before you decided I have decided I don’t want you in my life. That is why you even feel that you don’t want me in your life. Before you saw me, I saw you! Before you love me, I started loving you! Before you leave me, I left you! Understand? Before you saw me, I saw you! Before you started loving me, I started loving you! Before you left me, I left you! Be very clear! It is life! It is life!
Understand this truth. Remember, the eternal component of you, the conscious component of you, is beyond the possibility of any defining by your body and mind. See, the moment you understand your body and mind cannot define you, beyond possibility, your body and mind just falls in love with consciousness, because you always fall in love with something which is far more greater than you. If you are able to perceive, if you are able to understand it, I can say, when your unknown part of you is understood as far beyond your comprehension, you just fall in love with you.
Celebrating the unknown component of you is “Religion”, being frightened by the unknown component of you is “Atheism”, understand? Celebrating the unknown component of you, the Nithya, is “Religion”. All religions celebrate the unknown part of you, consciousness. Being frightened of the unknown component of you is “Atheism”. All atheistic traditions ask you to forget about the unknown part of you by denying it, because it feels too much to grasp the unknown. I tell you, when you celebrate the unknown, you know how to love the unknown. Falling in love with the unknown, celebrating the unknown, making your body and mind understand the conscious component of you is beyond your grasp, all this is one and the same, various sides of Living Advaitha. You putting your whole energy trying to forget the unknown is “Atheism”. Trying to celebrate the known is “Materialism”. Trying to fool people by neither celebrating the unknown nor celebrating the known is “Communism”. At least the Advaithis celebrate the unknown, materialists celebrate the known. The Communists celebrate none. Neither they celebrate the known nor they celebrate the unknown!
I tell you, Communism is the best belief for the stupidest mind! I am not supporting Capitalism or Corporatism, please be very clear. When I criticize Communism, don’t ever mistake I support Corporatism or Capitalism. I support only Responsibilism. Whoever takes responsibility, enjoys what for they are worthy of, that’s all. Because, Corporatism is not what I am supporting. Corporates are not loyal to anybody, anything other than their profits which comes from sucking other’s lives. Many times they are insensitive to even lives when it comes to their profits. How the Communists become insensitive to lives when it comes to power. Communists become insensitive to life when it comes to power, Corporates become insensitive when it comes to the question of profit. So, I am neither supporting Communism nor supporting Corporatism, I am supporting Responsibilism. Neither the person who doesn’t take responsibility should be enjoying, nor the person who is taking responsibility should be sucking the whole thing in the name of Corporatism and Capitalism. The person who takes responsibility should educate everyone to take responsibility. Communism is like, whether you take responsibility or not, at least in theory they try to tell everyone everything belongs to you.
No, I have seen so many Communist fellows. In the road they go in the auto, taxi. But the moment they reach the airport.....chartered plane! From one place to another place they go by chartered plane, and in the road they go by auto, because in the air you won’t be able to see them!
Listen! Please listen! Let your body and mind absorb the context of eternity from the context of eternity, the qualities of consciousness from the context of consciousness. You yourself spend a little time with you. Even though you see every day so many people dying, how come you have such a strong faith you are not going to die? Because you are not going to die, understand the truth! Your faith is not wrong. It is wrong only when you use it in the wrong context. You may change body and mind, but you are not going to die. The experience you are going to exist forever is true. Don’t question that. Question the misunderstanding. It is like, when I tell people, ‘Drop smoking.’, they drop me! Same way only, don’t question the experience of eternity. Don’t say, ‘I am not going to be eternally alive.’ My idea of “I am not going to be eternally alive” is stupid. No! Question only the context which you think as you when you feel are eternal or ephemeral. Question the idea you are body and mind, not the idea you are eternal.
When Yudhishtira was questioned by an Yaksha, the answer by Dharmaraja, Yudhishtira – because Yudhishtira is son of Dharmaraja, he is also called Dharmaraja – Yudhishtira answers the Yaksha who is actually his own father, Dharmaraja, who comes in disguise and questions him in Mahabharata. In Mahabharata, an Yaksha asks Yudhishtira, ‘What is the most surprising thing?’ Yudhishtira answers, ‘After seeing every day people dying, still human-beings feeling they are going to be eternal, is the most surprising thing on Planet Earth!’ I wanted all of you to know, may be Yudhishtira knows dharma, but he does not know moksha!
I tell you, even knowing so many people are dying every day, still you feel you are going to be eternal, means there is a part of you which is eternal. What you see every day dying is body and mind. That part is going to die even in you, but not you. So soak yourself in the clarity of eternity. Don’t question that belief. Even if you question, you will never be able to stop believing that you are going to be here eternally. Even if you suppress eating in the whole day, at night in the dream you will be feasting. Same way, even if you start believing that you are not eternal, in the dream you will feel you are eternal. You are eternal is the truth! If you try to apply that in the wrong context, the context is wrong, not the truth. Because you got electrocuted, electricity is not wrong. You used the wrong context. So electricity is not responsible if you got electrocuted; you using it in the wrong context is the reason. Blessed are those who learn the right context from a young age.
That is why whenever I see my gurukul kids, I am so happy for them. They have the best life, I tell you! They have the life much better than me, because even when I was getting trained by my gurus, I didn’t have a clear future defined for me by my gurus. They were already old. They know I know they will not be alive when I grow up. One of my gurus, Vibhootanandapuri, I have seen, she will go house to house, door to door, for building the first ashram she built for me. Door to door, house to house! Actually, she had some of her followers; means, to whom she has given Sri Vidya initiation. She was an elderly sannyasini. So people will go to her for counselling, Sri Vidya initiation. She is well known for her Vaak Siddhi and healing powers. So, whoever got healed by her Vaak Siddhi, she will go to them and ask them to keep a handful of rice. She will keep that for a few months and then sell it and collect the money and build an ashram for me, my first ashram. I asked her, ‘Why are you doing this in this old age?’ She said, ‘No, no, I will not be here for a long time. So, when I go, you need a shelter. I know you will bring thousands, but I should leave at least one shelter for you.’ Exactly the same spot where I became enlightened, where I got enlightenment experience, just near that rock she built the first ashram for me. She said, ‘I cannot do much, but I will do at least this one small roof.’ I said, ‘What will I do with this roof? I don’t even have a latrine, bathroom there!’ She was laughing! ‘Alright, whatever I can do, I will do.’ I tell you, but of course, she gave me million times more than any property or ashram. Now it is more of sentimental value.
I tell you, my gurukul kids have better life than me, because,
· One, I am young.
· Second, I am very clear about their future and vision. And not only I have made the internal infrastructure for them, I made even the external infrastructure for them to be what they should be, what they are. By the time these kids grow up and sit as Mahants, each one will have one saamrajya (empire) to teach this Vedic tradition to the world.
Catch the truth from the right context. Catch the truth from the right context. Catch the truth from the right context is the essence of today’s satsangh. Let your body and mind be soaked into the truth you are eternal. Only when your body and mind tries to misuse the truth, question the context; don’t try to question the truth itself. If you question the truth, you are mistaking. Question the context, not the truth. If your body and mind becomes responsible, radiating the qualities of the eternal consciousness.....right and great! If your body and mind become arrogant, abusive, thinking it is eternal, question the context, that is all!
With this, I will move to the Kalpataru process.
All the participants who have come for Kalpataru Darshan in Ananda Vana-Varanasi, and Mill Valley-Vairavan Koil, and all over the world, please pick up paper and pen. Pen down one thought you want to cause as reality, and all the incompletions, doubts, fears, you have around that thought. Pen down both.
(After a few minutes...........)
Yes....now please sit straight. Complete with all the incompletions you hold and drop them. Hold the space for what you want to cause as reality. Namah Shivaya!
KALPATARU MEDITATION....................
Thathaasthu! I bless you all! The space you held, let it become reality! The visualization you held, let it become reality! Thathaasthu! Thathaasthu! Thathaasthu!
We will have Kalpataru Darshan for the people in Ananda Vana, and for the Mill Valley-Vairavan Koil, and then SMKT meeting.
I bless you all! Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, Enriching and Causing eternal bliss, Nithyananda! Thank you!

Vandhey Guru Paramparaam ||
I welcome all the devotees, visitors, viewers, disciples, samajis, satsanghis, Shrimahants, Mahants, Kotharis, Thanedars, sitting with us all over the world through Nithyananda TV, Sadhna TV, and two-way video-conferencing having Nayana Deeksha.

I welcome all of you with my love and respects.
Today’s subject: Breakthrough Success – Living Your Full Potential!
Let me start with defining what is “Success”.
Success! The very word creates so many different emotions, good or bad, but it just stimulates all your patterns. The moment you hear that word, whether good or bad, it just stimulates all your patterns. Means, a powerful word! Powerful word – “SUCCESS”!
Let me define “Success”. “Success” means, making what you want as reality, as you want, from the context you want. Making what you want as reality, as you want, from the context you want. If you want money for enjoying, you should have money and the health to enjoy it; not having money by selling your health! Means, what for you want something, having that, achieving that from that same context, is “Success”.
Listen! For all of you to understand, I wanted to define two more words related to success:
The accidental happening of what you want in your life, but not from the context of how you want, I call it as “Succeeding”. But it is accidental. Sometimes you do get money through lottery, or you do get what you want; but you don’t get it from the context, and you don’t know the science of making it happen. When you don’t know the context, when you don’t have the blueprint, when you don’t have the whole science available to you, but you got what you want, I call it as “Succeeding”; but only as an accident. All succeeding happens only in one or two fields, not with the whole life.
I wanted to present the third word – “Successful”. Means, creating what you want as reality from the context of how you want, and knowing that science you go on making it happen continuously in your life. I call it as “Successful”.
Success, Succeeding, Successful!
“Success” is making what you want as reality from the context of what you want.
“Succeeding” is making what you want as reality, but without the context of what you want, how you want; more or less happens like an accident, miracle, whatever you want to call it. Mostly even if things happen as you want, without you having the knowledge to make it happen, or without you having the right context, even if you get what you want, I will not call it as miracle, I will only call it as accident, because it is going to bring many problems which you don’t anticipate, for which you are not ready, which you will not be able to handle. Your succeeding is always accidental, not miracles.
Next, the last word: “Successful”. Means, creating what you want as reality from the context of how you want and knowing the whole science so that you are constantly able to reproduce it, continue to make it happen. Means, the whole science of success is available to you without any blind spot for you to go on repeating it, making it as a perpetual experience of life, the recurring lifestyle, I call you as “Successful”.
Today’s webinar is to make you “successful”, because most of you have tasted “success”, tasted “succeeding”, waiting to become “successful”. There is no person who is a failure. If you are an utter failure, you will not even be interested in the idea of success, because you know it is not possible for you. You just land up in the space of impossibility. But, I know, fortunately, there is no human-being on Planet Earth in that space. Either you have “success” or “succeeding”, just waiting to become “successful”.
Discovering why some are successful, why others fail. Please understand, whenever “succeeding” happens as accidental, you start building very pseudo, superficial, comfortable, believing reasons. See, the reasons for your success which does not demand you to wake up, which continues to let you have your patterns and comfort zone is built by you. You start building, understand? Sometimes you use even religion to build pseudo reasons for your success. You start thinking, ‘If I go to this temple and go around twenty-two times, I will have success; go around rivers forty-eight times, I will have success.’ You might have had, you might have succeeded at one point or once or twice doing that action, but that cannot be the science of success, that alone cannot be the science of success. Sometimes people think, ‘If I drive through this road and go to office, I will be successful, I will succeed in my deals.’ You might have succeeded once or twice. I know, sometimes people think, ‘If I go to meet my client with this colour dress, I will be succeeding. You might have succeeded, but that is not the science of success. Pseudo logical reasons built by yourself to keep you in continuous unaware thinking.
Please listen, whenever you see in your life “success” and “succeeding”, you need to know both the context – what made “success”, what made “succeeding”. What made “succeeding” should not be used as a scientific reproducible, recurring lifestyle model. What caused “success” should be used as a logical step to be practised, scientific step to be lived. When you repeat the context and thinking style, strengthen the logic, reasons, causes which caused “success”, you become “successful”. But, if you continue to strengthen due to unawareness and ignorance and non-thinking, the logic and reasons which you believe has led to “succeeding”, you have to face the stark reality of failure. I can say, this is the one and only reason why some are “successful”, but some only “succeed” once in a while. Only “succeeding” once in a while is what I call “failure”. Only “succeeding” once in a while is what I call “failure”.
Today, in the meditation process, I am going to guide you, make you understand how to discover and live your purpose successfully. Please understand, meditation is for the people who want to experience what they already know and what they are teaching to others, but fed up inside of themselves why they are not able to live what they are talking to others. The meditation process today which I am going to share with all of you is specially for the people...... I have seen so many CEOs, so-called “succeeding” people; they are fed up with themselves. They know all the methodology and they are very “succeeding” in teaching that to their whole organization, their subordinates, their team, but they are fed up why they themselves are not able to apply that within themselves. If you connect with what I am saying, if you think you are the one whom I am describing, today’s process is for you, and, I guarantee, you will have breakthrough!
All the human-beings who can think have tasted “success” in their life, tasted “succeeding” in their life. “Succeeding” is always glamorous, glittering. So, you are more and more attracted to it and start building a kind of thought trend – ‘Somehow I will be successful.’ As long as you believe, ‘Somehow I will be successful’, you may be “succeeding” or you will only be a failure. But the moment you decide, ‘Somehow I WILL be successful’, you will plan to be successful! Understand? It is just shift in context, not even shift in words – ‘Somehow I will be successful’, ‘Somehow I WILL be successful!’ The shift in the context – ‘Somehow I will be successful’, ‘Somehow I WILL be successful!’ The first step for the breakthrough success is understanding that success is possible, it is much more easier than you can imagine, but you have to DO it. You have to DO it!
People many times ask me, ‘How can I discover and live my life’s purpose successfully?’ I tell you, discovering and living are not two different things. When you discover, you start living! Just see the moments you felt powerful, when you caused the reality you wanted, and the moments you felt a panic, even though what you wanted has happened. Scan your life: The moments you felt powerful when something you wanted has happened. And, I tell you, surely it has happened many times in all your lives. And also scan and see when you felt panic, powerless, even though what you wanted has happened. You need to scan your life: Accidentally what you want happening.
Robbers, rowdies, grabbers, thieves, even they make what they want to happen, not as “success”, but as “succeeding”. Means, as an accident they make it. But that can never be a reproducible, replicable model even for their own life. I have seen robbers raising themselves even in the list of the top rich people in the world! But the moment their political power is lost....over! Because, it is not a scientifically replicable model, their “succeeding” can never become “successful”.
Scan your life when you had “success”, when you “succeeded”. When you scan your life, you will understand when you had “success”, what was the lesson you learnt from that, what was the plan and strategy you made from that. When you were “succeeding”, what was the lessons you learnt from it, what was the strategy you added from that.
I tell you, when you relive the moments of “success” and the understandings you developed from the “success”, when you caused what you want as reality from the context of how you want to cause, that is “success”. Whenever you had “success”, relive what were the strengths, what were the strengths you started believing caused “success”, what were you thinking were the reasons for “success”. In the same way, when you were “succeeding”, accidentally happened what you want, not from the context how you want, see what was the logic, what was the thought trend, your strength you were empowering. Analyze it. May be a small bit of analyzing will help you to understand your life’s purpose.
Many times when you confuse accidental “succeeding” with your right “success”, you start building dilemma about your life’s purpose. Accidents can happen, but your life’s purpose cannot be built, designed, based on a few accidents. Your life’s purpose cannot be built, developed, caused by “succeeding”. It can only be caused by “successful”, studying the science of success and reproducing it. Means, no blind spot in the way you think about your future, no blind spot in the way you think about your life’s purpose. You have not left any dimension of your life’s purpose, the context, how you are going to achieve it, what all may be the side-effects and after-effects of it. When no blind spot is left, when you are completely filled with awareness, “success” becomes “successful” story.
Please understand, even before you become “successful”, the moment you are “success”, means, the moment you cause the reality you wanted from the context you wanted, when you don’t have any powerlessness about your future, very clear about what you want, how you are going to cause, and what is the side-effect and after-effect, even before “successful” you are complete and fulfilled. Feeling fulfilled even before being “successful” is what I call “Completion”. Feeling fulfilled, powerful, even before being “successful” is what I call “Completion”. Means, you have seen “success”, you know the science of it now, you know your life’s purpose, you know how you can reproduce your “success”, and you know there is no blind spot, and you know the after-effects and side-effects of your “successful” story. When you are able to again and again cause what you want as reality from the context of how you want, you become “successful”.
Sometimes people ask me, ‘How to get breakthrough success?’ Breakthrough success happens by organizing your context. Means, what life means for you, what you mean to life. Many times I have seen people saying, ‘I want to be really a great Yogi, and I want to maintain my body – health, weight, flexibility.’ But the moment they sit at the dining table, the concept of weight is forgotten, diet is forgotten. The moment they lie down in the bed, the concept and the need to wake up is forgotten. The moment they throw themselves on the couch, the need to exercise is forgotten. Understand, breakthrough success comes by strengthening your context. Please understand, step by step success comes by practice. If you keep the alarm outside, if you put the menu for your diet and eat only that, step by step practices bring “success”. But organizing your context brings “breakthrough success”!
If you organize yourself what life means to you, what you mean to life, you don’t need to fight step by step, train yourself, you don’t need to fight with your sleep separately, diet separately, laziness separately, profession separately, family separately; suddenly you see, in everything you are clear what you hold for life and what life holds for you. This happens by simple intranalyzing and reliving, analyzing basic questions for internalizing and reliving how you were living in the past, reliving with this new understanding. When you relive your past with the new understanding, you rewrite your future. When you relive the past with the new understanding, you rewrite the future. Develop this right understanding and context by intranalyzing answers for these few questions, what I call as “success”: How am I going to make myself successful in my life? What do I hold for others in my life? What I expect others to hold for me in their life? Who are the co-creators of my life? Intranalyze these few basic questions. And the new understanding you evolve, with this new understanding, relive your past; you will rewrite your future. When you relive your past with the new understanding, rewriting your future happens. That is what I call “breakthrough success”.
Inner Awakening is all about developing the right understanding and making you relive your past and completing and rewriting your future. The whole twenty-one days in the Inner Awakening, you see, this is what we are doing, this is what exactly we are doing from various angles, whether it is related to your health, related to your wealth, various dimensions of your life. You are made to intranalyze a few basic truths, and with that intelligence made to relive your past and rewrite your future. That is all is “breakthrough”. Breaking through your impossibility is “breakthrough”. Breaking through the idea of strong failure you carry is “breakthrough success”. Breaking through the failure pattern you carry is “breakthrough success”.
Many times people ask me, ‘How to attract and manifest the right opportunities?’ Understand, the right opportunity is nothing but life’s response to the right context you hold about you and life. See the context, how you hold yourself for you and for the life, what you want to be, how you want to be known to others. First....first do things which need to be done first. First do the things which need to be done first:
· A clear Inner Image – what you want to feel as you; you have to consciously build it. What has happened in you as you is accidental inner-image. Accidental inner-image will cause only accident in your life. Whether you curse or celebrate, accidental inner-image will cause only accident in your life. It may be failure or succeeding. Failure or succeeding, both lead to more and more powerlessness, accidents, because it is caused by accidental inner-image. Clear inner-image, what you want to feel as you in you.
· Next, how you want to present yourself to the world, to life – Outer Image.
· Others Image – how you want others to perceive you and hold you in your life, in their life.
· Life Image – how you hold others and life around you.
Be clear about these four. Being clear about these four is what I call “Authenticity”.
Right opportunity is the way life behaves with you when you are authentic. Right opportunity is the way life relates with you when you are authentic. Please understand, when you are not authentic, even the so-called right opportunities will be a load and plan for, may be, “succeeding”, not “successful”. When you are not authentic, even the more probabilities, more possibilities than what you are qualified knocks at your door, it may be amazing opportunity, but not right opportunity, because even if it is amazing opportunity, it may lead to “succeeding”, not “successful”.
So, the science of being successful, science of having breakthrough success is bringing authenticity in you, aligning yourself the right Inner Image, right Outer Image, right Others Image, and right Life Image. Aligning these four, aligning is what I call “plan for being successful”. Because, when you are authentic, life always responds to you by opening up the right opportunities.
Many times people ask me, ‘Swamiji, why do I feel that I could be much more successful, but I am not?’ It means, your strategy for life, half is from the logic of “success”, and half is from the logic of “succeeding”. When your logic for “success”, your plan for “success” is mixed with some pseudo reasons, developed from “succeeding”, the accidental success, when you develop some of the reasons for accidental success as the reason for your actual success, even your success leaves you in certain incompletion. All you need to do is look in, see what are the logics, context, understandings you learned from “success”, what all you started developing from accidental “succeeding”. Accidental “succeeding” is worse than failure, because, at least from failure you will not learn anything, you will not develop learn pseudo reasons, you will not develop pseudo confidence, but with accidental “succeeding”, you start developing pseudo confidence, pseudo reasons and go on believing it. It is literally like we have a proverb: ‘Trusting mud horse entering into the river”! Only when you are in the middle of the river you will see the horse is just dissolving! The logic on which you are riding suddenly dissolves when you are in mid of your life crisis.
If you are feeling, ‘I could be much more successful, but I am not’, it means some of the pseudo reasons, pseudo logic you built from accidental “succeeding” as the reason for your success should be completed and dropped. If you think ten reasons as the reason for your success, discover, intranalyze, find out which one is from the actual success you developed and which one is strengthened after the accidental success. When you intranalyze, discriminate these two.
One of the great revivers of Vedic tradition, Adi Shankaracharya, wrote a beautiful book called “Viveka Choodamani”. Just on discrimination, how to discriminate the right logic from the wrong logic, empower the right reasoning, complete with the wrong reasoning, just on that Adi Shankara has written a beautiful book. I wanted to give just one idea, one idea from that book. Strengthening the right logic, right reasons, completing with the wrong reasons you built accidentally, is what he calls as “Jeevan Mukthi, Living Enlightened. While you are living, if your thinking is aligned to enlightenment, the pure discrimination, you are Living Enlightened.
If you feel, ‘I could be much more successful, but I am not’, may be some of the incompletions you are cherishing, some of the reasons you are cherishing as the reason for your success may be pseudo reasons. Because you cherished for quite a long time, no reason can become right reason, understand. Because you built as a habit, it cannot be justified as right. So, give yourself one more chance. As long as you give one more chance to you to rewrite your future and upgrade yourself, you are young. The day you stop giving you one more chance to rewrite your future, you are old, dead, waiting to be buried!
So, I request you all to pamper yourself with Inner Awakening, give a chance to yourself to rewrite your future, relive the past with this new understanding and consciousness, and rewrite your future.
Next, an important, very important question I face. I tell you, this is the question I face from all successful people whom I described, who are teaching all these great ideas to everyone in their team, in their Company, and in their office, but they themselves are fed up inside themselves, ‘Why I am not practicing, why I am not experiencing what I am teaching which is successful for everyone?’ This is the question I face when CEOs gather to sit to listen to me. Please understand, I have seen in my life students gather to listen to me, teachers gather to listen to me, professors gather to listen to me, doctors gather to listen to me, engineers gather to listen to me, even lawyers gather to listen to me. I know all their questions. This question I always face when CEOs gather to listen to me, very successful, I can say, people who have even replicated success again and again in their life. So, those CEOs, when they gather to listen to me, I always face this question: ‘How to achieve success without compromising who I am?’
Understand, this question comes from a deep pain of feeling you sacrificed many of what you think as pleasure, freedom, joy, purpose, if you had a free hand with the money and time you have after success, you would have had a different past, that feeling, that feeling, from that pain this question arises. Please understand, that is why I am saying, whenever you have this question, the one and only solution is not only rewriting your future, rewriting your past is required.
You may think, ‘What do you mean by “rewriting your past”?’ Your past needs to be rewritten the way you perceive it. Even if you rewrite your future as you want, if you don’t rewrite your past, you will continue to be burdened with incompletion and heaviness ‘I have compromised with who I am to achieve success’ which is not true....which is not true. In future, if you carry this burden in the past, in future also you will continue to drag yourself towards success, being successful. That will slow down your speed, slow down the way you move, slow down the way you progress.
How to achieve success without compromising who I am? Three things need to happen in you:
One, the heaviness, the load of your past which makes you believe you compromised in who you are, needs to be completed.
Second, you need to understand the truth: Life, the science of life, the science of success is enriching. When you are enriching yourself and others in some form or other, only then success is showered on you. Whatever you need to do for enriching is not compromising what you are.
Third, making it very clear that in the future when you rewrite your future, you are clear about what is compromising and what is causing others’ reality. You always mistake causing others’ reality as compromising with your time, energy, freedom, talent, treasure.
The fourth, last but not the least, for all these three to happen, means rewriting your perception about your past by Completion, making you understand the difference between enriching and compromising, and making you rewrite your future with the clarity of what is causing and what is compromising, making these three to happen, the fourth needs to happen which is only one step – be here for Inner Awakening!
Inner Awakening makes you achieve not just “success”, makes you “successful” without compromising who you are, but by strengthening who you are. You don’t need to compromise who you are to be successful. You just strengthen who you are; you will be successful! You don’t need to compromise to be successful with who you are, you need to strengthen who you are to be successful. To learn this science of success and make yourself successful without getting cheated by one or two “succeeding” events, the accidental “succeeding” events, make your success into successful story, be here for Inner Awakening. By welcoming, inviting you to the Inner Awakening, I am so happy, I know for sure I will be causing, I will be co-creator for your successful story. Waiting to be co-creator for your successful story to Inner Awakening.
Now we will move to the meditation process. This meditation process is specially for success, to make your success into “successful” story. Listen! I am just asking you to intranalyze on three questions:
· What you think as moments of success in your life. Means, you caused what you wanted to cause from the context of what you want to cause. Write some of those moments and the right lessons you picked up from those moments.
· Second question: Pen down some of the moments you understand as “succeeding”. You got what you want, but you had only panic and powerlessness inside you, because you don’t know how to reproduce that same thing again and again in your life. See the moments of “succeeding” and pen down the lessons or the ideas you grasped, beliefs you grasped from the moments of “succeeding”, accidental “succeeding”. It will always be superstitiousness!
· Third: How you want your successful story to be, what you think as success, what you want to cause as reality from what context, pen down these three by taking a few minutes.
(After a few minutes...........)
Yes....now let us enter into the process, the meditation process to be successful. Understand I wanted to just define these two words:
Completion: “Completion” means, reliving your past with the new understanding and deciding not to repeat the past mistakes, incompletions, patterns again in future is “Completion”. “Completion” is reliving your past with the new understanding, deciding not to repeat the past patterns in the future is “Completion”
And “Enriching” means, deciding to constantly strengthen your authenticity and others’ authenticity, deciding to strengthen your authenticity and the authenticity of people around you is “Enriching”.
Now let us enter into the process. You wrote three answers. Decide you will not strengthen the logic you built from accidental “succeeding”, you will complete with that pattern and drop it, but you will strengthen the lessons you learned from “success”, and when you go back from this webinar, you will continuously contemplate and radiate enriching yourself and others. Means, making yourself and others more and more authentic.
Now, please sit straight. Look within you. Decide not to repeat the patterns you learned from accidental “succeeding”. And decide to hold the space and strengthen the logic and reasons you got from success. And declare you will go on strengthening yourself, your authenticity and others’ authenticity. Sit with this decision, sit holding this one space. Decide to make this one thought into reality. Complete with all the patterns you learned from accidental “succeeding”. Hold and strengthen the reasons you learned from success. Decide to enrich yourself and others again and again through authenticity, becoming authentic, helping others to be authentic. Hold the space for successful story about you. Namah Shivaya!
MEDITATION IN PROGRESS...........
Decide to be authentic within you. The whole meditation is only a few more minutes. So, decide. Your decision to be in the space of Completion, your decision to be authentic is what is needed. Just few more minutes, meditate authentically and decide.
MEDITATION CONCLUDES..........
Thathaasthu! Thathaasthu! I bless you all! Whatever space you created, let it become reality! I bless you all to be successful! And I invite once again all of you to rewrite your story successfully to be here in the Inner Awakening programme.
Now I invite Ma Anupama to take you all to the end of the programme. Thank you! Be blissful!
I bless you all! Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, Enriching and Causing eternal bliss, Nithyananda! Thank you!

I welcome all of you with my love and respects.
Today I will expand on Living Advaitha.
The Inner Awakening participants are going through, for the last two days, an intense process of initiation into Living Advaitha, understand? Of course, today we are going to continue. I have seen, whenever I initiate people into this Living Advaitha process, even after spending continuous twelve hours into the process, they are fresh, alive, energetic! How many of you, when you went back yesterday you were not tired after spending twelve hours in the process? Do you know, you cannot sit more than ten minutes in front of one channel which is spending crores to get your attention? Within ten minutes....DAMAAL! Your remote control....tatak! Over! After spending twelve hours in the process.....fresh, alive! I tell you, that is the power of Advaitha!
I wanted you to know the deeper principles about Advaitha. Life starts when you decide to cause others’ reality. Because, the real you, please listen, the real you is everyone around you, you included. But what you cognize as you is your deep-rooted pain patterns and incompletions. How much ever you try to decorate, perfume, scent, garland, you are trying to do all this to the pain you of you, the incompletion you of you. But the more you are going to remember about the incompletion you of you, and identify you as the incompletion you of you, and cognize the incompletion you of you, what are you doing? You are trying to perfume the drainage! Trying to perfume the sewage tank! So, the first shift is required, first action is required, not in your doing, but in your cognition. See, that is why I tell you, one important truth.... Please understand, these few important truths, catch it, so that I will bring you to the conclusion. First truth: What you remember as you, the pain part of you only you remember as you. You cognize yourself only your incompletions as you. But, the actual you is, all the people around you put together. Third, because what you cognize as you is only the deep-rooted pain patterns and incompletions of you, how much ever you try to perfume it, scent it, even put Kashi chandan on it and garland it, do whatever, the moment you open, what comes out? Ughh! You put a silk cloth.
See, we saw in the Manikarnika Ghat how they brought those dead bodies with those shining clothes and amazing garlands. If you don’t open and see, you may even suspect they are bringing some temple deity. Am I right? You see from the distance and you don’t know it is a dead body. You may think it is a temple deity the way they put those shining clothes all around. And the garland, perfume, scent! That is exactly what you are doing! What you perceive as you, you going on trying to do make-up to that. That will never bring Completion and powerfulness with you. Shift your energy to what is YOU. Shift your energy to what is YOU.
Listen! The real you is all the people with whom your life is involved, all the lives who are involved with you, all these put together is you. When you shift, when the cognitive shift happens, all of them are you, you are them. Suddenly, your joy, your pain, your life, your goal, your purpose, your right, your wrong, your dharma, your adharma, everything gets rewritten. That rewriting is what I call “Rewriting your Future”! You rewrite your future full of powerfulness. Understand one thing, some parts of what you call as your life, you may be resisting. Some parts of what you call as your life, you may be accepting. But, be very clear, whether you resist or accept, no powerlessness! Don’t allow powerlessness! No question of powerlessness! Always being powerful is my religion, understand. Love, compassion, all that will start happening in you from the right context. Love, compassion, non-violence, by itself cannot become a religion. Love, compassion, non-violence, from the right context only can become a religion.
I have seen people who escape from life try to show compassion and non-violence just because they feel powerless to face the conflicts. They feel completely powerless to face the conflicts. Please listen! When you feel powerless to face the conflicts, life again and again brings that same mirror and shows to you. Understand, which part of your face you don’t like or are attached too much to, you will see only that part in the mirror again and again. How many of you understand what I am saying? Which part of you, either you are too attached to or don’t like, you will see only that part again and again when you look at the mirror. So, anything which you don’t like, resist, makes you powerless. Same way, anything to which you are attached, again makes you powerless because of the innate fears attachment brings. If you are attached to some parts of you, you will be afraid that the size, shape, colour, dimension may change in course of aging, or accident, or through some reason. So, whatever you are attached to or you don’t like, you will see your eyes will be only always on that part when you look at the mirror.
Your life is a mirror. Please understand, your life is a mirror. If you allow anything to make you powerless, if you allow anything to make you powerless, that will be constantly shown to you as a mirror. If you feel powerless to handle your spouse and family and run away to some other lifestyle – sometimes divorce, sometimes Sannyas – whatever lifestyle you opt for or choose by feeling powerless, I guarantee you, you will see ten people exactly like your spouse, and you will be forced to work with those people. You will see, if you run away from your employer, from your boss, twenty-five bosses exactly like them, and you will be forced to work under them and report to all of them. Understand, it is not the mirror’s mistake that you are all the time seeing the nose which you don’t like; it is YOUR mistake, you have given too much attention to it. When somebody else sees their face in the mirror, they don’t see the nose all the time. Because you don’t like your nose, you see as if your whole face is just appendix of your nose; you won’t feel like your face has nose, you will feel like your nose has face! Because you don’t like something, resist something, all the time you are on it. Same way, if you like something and are afraid of losing it, all the time you will be there on it.
Sometimes people like the fact that they are fair. In India, this fair complexion is unfair complexion! The most unfair complexion with which still India is suffering is this fair complexion. This foolish, stupid idea came down from the British that “white” is associated with intelligence, beauty! HAHAHAHAHA! Poor fellows! No, really I am telling you! How many hundreds of thousands of marriages are either not made or break just because of this fair idea you know? The root pattern with which the whole of India is suffering is this fair skin! Marriages are made or not made, lost or broken, just by this one skin....skin colour! When you are too attached to your skin colour, the moment you see the mirror, you will only be on your skin colour, because you are afraid of losing it.
Do you know one thing? In the whole world, India is the largest market for this stupid fairness cream! Only in India all this stupidity – “Get fair in four weeks” – all this stupidity is sold. I can make you fair in four minutes: Just apply ash, that’s all! HAHAHAHAHA! All over your body! Why four weeks! Take ash and apply it on your whole body and you are fair, that’s all! No, this stupid colour complexion! See, at least in the West people are clear that if you are white you are white, if you are black you are black. But only in India this black tries to become white! No other country suffers with this stupidity. I am not saying in other countries the discrimination is not there. White is white, black is black, there is a lot of discrimination, fight, all that is there. But only in India you will find this unique stupidity, the peak of stupidity, the black trying to become white! Not just one day, two days, but throughout life! Throughout life!
One of my devotees, she is in the cine field, a make-up artiste and all that. I still remember, some of my ashramites, for me to appear in some satsangh and TV shows, they approached her saying, ‘Can you make Swamiji a little more fair? Do some jaadhoo, do some magic and make Swamiji a little fair! In front of the camera he looks a little dark.’ She laughed and said, ‘Swamiji’s skin is the best skin colour I have seen!’ When I heard this conversation, I started laughing!
I tell you, the Completion and powerfulness that you carry about what you are makes you graceful. I tell you, that sets the fashion trend! Fashion trend is not walking on the ramp; it is walking with grace! I am telling you, anything to which either you are too attached or too resistant will always be seen by you in the mirror. Same way, in your life, anything to which you are too attached or too resistant will always be reminded by your life. But I have good news for you: The too attached, too resisting, can be completed. And I have best news for you: It can be done today! It is not that difficult, I tell you. It is not that difficult. All you need to do is, the logic which convinces you about your powerlessness, the inevitability of your powerlessness, you need to..... See, when you build the logic which strongly makes you believe the inevitability of your powerlessness – ‘Anyhow, any one day I will have to lose the colour of my skin.’, or, ‘One day I will have to lose my health.’, ‘One day all my wealth will have to be lost.’, ‘I think I am not qualified to have all my wealth. One day it will be taken away.’, ‘I think I am not qualified to have my freedom. One day it will be taken away.’, I think this person is too good for my life. So, he cannot be part of my life.’ – when you have this kind of strong belief of your inevitable powerlessness.... See, you build the logic which makes you believe your powerlessness is inevitable. That is where the crime starts, understand. Just poke holes in those arguments that your powerlessness is inevitable; I tell you, you are free! Now you will be liberated! Liberation is nothing but poking holes in the arguments that your powerlessness is inevitable.
Listen! The Cosmic Court is fairer than the country’s court. Even in the country’s court, without doubt, somebody has to prove you have committed the crime. Even if there is sufficient doubt, the benefit of doubt has to be given to you; you cannot be punished. Same way, in the Cosmic Court, even if you poke holes in the logic you built – the inevitability of your powerlessness..... Please understand, the logic which makes you believe your powerlessness is inevitable is “Maya”, delusion. “Yama ithi Maya”. Which is not there, but which goes on making you feel powerless is “Maya”. Your strong belief, cognition about the inevitability of your powerlessness, if you know just to poke holes in that argument, that is all, it will just collapse, because your inner-space does not that easily believe, accept you are powerless. See, by your nature you remember your powerfulness. That is why constantly in your inner-space you feel you are going to live forever. Even though some of the religions teach you that you have only one life, when you take decisions your basic cognition is as if you are going to exist forever. I tell you, your basic cognition is right! You ARE going to exist forever! Like your food and pharmaceutical industries have collaborated, you are served by the food industry which does not care about your health, your health is attended by the health industry which doesn’t care about your food, or both of them have a very cunning strategy collaboration.
I have seen in the villages this is done in a very simple way. When the Christians want to convert Hindus – it is done in every village – one fellow will go like a Hindu sadhu, dressed up like a Hindu Sannyasi, and he will do some magic, very cheap magic, like they will catch a small rat and put it in a big coconut inside and leave the coconut. When the rat jumps, the coconut will move this way, that way. So that fellow will tell you, ‘See ghost!’ When this guy is doing the show, suddenly some three-four revolutionary, honest, authentic Christian preachers will enter the scene and break the coconut and defame this “Hindu sannyasi” who is their partner to take away the authenticity of Hinduism and Hindu sannyasis. This happens in so many villages! This happens in Karnataka villages, I have seen! What a cunning strategy! What a cunning strategy! I tell you, that is exactly the way the food industry and health industry work internationally, globally.
In Madhya Pradesh I have seen this kind of a drama. See, I experienced this drama when I was doing my yatra. But, recently I read, even in Osho’s time this was being done. I was shocked! In 1995, almost twenty years ago, in 1995, when I was doing my yatra, I was doing Narmada Parikrama, means going around the Narmada, a lot of tribal villages I have to cross. In one tribal village, I saw one Christian preacher. I don’t which diocese he belongs to. He brought one Rama statue and one Jesus statue. The Rama statue is made out of metal, and the Jesus statue is made out of wood, but both he painted almost like same. No one can make out that they are made of different material. Those simple villagers, he calls them and says, ‘See, you all believe in Rama. See what happens when I put Rama in water.’ He put the Rama statue in the water. It is made of metal; naturally it will drown. Then he says, ‘See what happens when I put my god, Jesus, in the water.’ And he puts the Jesus statue in the water. The Jesus statue is made out of wood; it will float. I also went to the show. I was staying outside the centre of the village where he was doing this show. First I could not understand. I thought maybe this guy has some siddhi, he has some power. Because we are too innocent, either we think it is some extraordinary spiritual power, or we think we don’t understand. We never abuse, or we never suspect cunningness, at least from religious people. So, because of that, I could not understand. I also didn’t think that he will go so cheap and so low. Surely, Christ himself does not need this kind of cheap Witnesses! I tried to touch the deity and see, but he was not allowing anybody to touch it. But I spent some little time and looked. I got the idea the way he lifted. When he lifted the statue from water, the way his muscles responded, I saw the Rama statue was heavy, and this Jesus statue was very light. I understood....got the thread. Immediately I told him, ‘See in your country only “jala pareeksha” (test by water). In our country, “agni pareeksha” (test by fire)! Let us put it in fire and check! See, in your country only “jala pareeksha”; you walk on the water and prove you are an incarnation or not. In our country we walk in fire and prove whether we are pure or not! So, in our country “agni pareeksha”! Come on! Let us put both in the fire!’ That fellow ran away! He ran away!
May be it is unholy nexus between the health industry and food industry. How the unholy nexus between the health industry and the food industry costs your whole life, please understand, your whole life, same way, the unholy nexus of your powerlessness and your resistance, when you resist, it makes you powerless, when you become powerless you resist more. The unholy nexus of powerlessness and resistance, if you resist something in your life, it makes you powerless just by remembrance! How Arunachala can put you in powerfulness just by remembrance – “Smaranaath Arunachalam!” By remembrance you are put in powerfulness! There are some things in life, because of your resistance, just by remembrance it puts you in powerlessness. Because it puts you in powerlessness, you resist more. When you resist more, it puts you in more powerlessness. There are some things, just by remembrance liberates you! There are some things, just by remembrance puts you in bondage! The good news is, the process you are going through, through this you can clearly identify what puts you in powerlessness just by remembrance. Your “Maya”, what makes you powerless just by remembrance, even if it is not there, your “Maya”, you will diagnose it just by going through this process. Second, the great news: You can complete it today!
Understand, Completion is decision to get rid of this pattern and not to entertain it again consciously. That is all is Completion, understand? Your conscious decision to get rid of this pattern, complete with it, and not to entertain it consciously again. And, you don’t even need to worry about it if it repeats unconsciously, because, your life is made up of consciousness from the moment you are initiated. From the moment you start intranalyzing, your life is made up of consciousness. I am redefining, I am defining and redefining and refining the definition of Completion: Completion is your decision to get rid of that pattern and never to let that overpower you consciously. For example, the tiredness pattern. You take the decision, ‘I am completing with it and dropping.’ And you take the decision, ‘Consciously, I am not going to allow it to overpower me.’ After two days, without remembering the decision you took, if you feel tired and fall asleep, don’t worry. Then you wake up. Maximum only once or twice that pattern can play this kind of game. The moment consciousness is brought in as a player, no one else can be a hero on the stage.
I tell you honestly, not with any pride or arrogance, many of these traditional functions where these Swamis and Mathadhipathis and Peethadhipathis sit, they are always afraid of getting me onto the stage; because, the moment I get on the stage, for various reasons, some reason, I become the centre of attraction! Whether right or wrong, or good or bad, or acceptance or resistance, or controversy or conflict, I become the centre of attraction, they all lose their attention, lose the attention they get. Next time onwards, nobody calls me! HAHAHAHAHA! I am not telling this as my pride or as my bad time.
I tell you, really I tell you, the truth about life is, even if there is accusation about you, even the defamation, wrong, bad, negative ideas about you is not cherished if you are not charismatic. This is a law of life, I am telling you! There are so many Hindu gurus whose morphed photos are there in the Internet; but nothing you will have views more than hundred. In my case you don’t even need to morph; you just say “Nithyananda Video” and put any crap, you will have ten million views in one month! You put any crap! That is what all these guys are doing for the last three-four years.
You need to know, one Christian organisation is having a website called “Nithyananda.in”. I thought, ‘Why have they registered our website?’ When I clicked I saw, “Nithyananda Jesus”. And, exactly all the words we use! It is literally, exactly like our website! First there is Nithyananda. If you click, then it describes about Jesus. Then Kumbha Mela. If you click....the actual word “Kumbha Mela”! If you click, it shows about baptism! When we tried to contact that organization they said, ‘The “Nithyananda” word is so popular, we cannot miss without encashing on it!’ And some of their photographs of their churches, you won’t find any difference, it looks exactly like temples from outside!
Recently in Tamil Nadu they started carving granite statue for Jesus and doing arathi to Jesus! And offering saree to Mary! Like this all the tradition of Mariamman! Doing archana! Yes! I have seen!
Anyhow, all I am trying to tell you guys is, the space from which you operate, if that is powerfulness, anything thrown at you, you know how to use it! Anything thrown at you, you know how to use it! Suddenly your enemy will feel so powerless, because anything you throw at him, he is using it! That is what I did to my enemies. They are so powerless now! ‘What is this? You throw defamation, he somehow converts it into popularity! Anything you throw at him!’
I tell you, I wanted to tell you very clearly with Integrity, it is not my part, it is the simple decision I made that I will always be powerful, no powerlessness inside. This is the very important secret. Just catch it! Whatever may come, I will not allow powerlessness inside! I will not allow powerlessness inside me! When you don’t allow powerlessness inside you, anything that happens from outside, even if it is earthquake, it only awakens your Kundalini! Understand, whether it is emotional quake or earthquake, it only awakens your Kundalini!
Not for any pride or arrogance, I can tell you with the simple clear objective way, neutral way, with Integrity I can tell you, there is no other Hindu Guru who has gone through so much of scrutiny, public scrutiny and defamation than me! The amount of public scrutiny I went through, and the defamation I went through, the lies loaded on me, and the way I survived, if you think I am a miracle, the secret of miracle is this, catch it: NEVER ALLOW POWERLESSNESS INSIDE YOU! That’s all!
There were many political leaders who went through different defamations and stood up; that is one thing. In the religious field, at least in the Hindu religious field, in the modern day, I tell you, no other Guru has gone through so much of public scrutiny and so much of abusal, so much of defamation, and stood back, stood up, conquering, winning in this whole game!
So, understand, if you think even my rivals agree my existence is a miracle, because the way they planned, conspired and executed, they could never think I will again be sitting in the throne and talking, if even my rivals agree, people who cherish enmity towards me, conspirators, agree I am a miracle, I want to tell them, ‘If you want to know the secret of me, I am revealing it to you, I am revealing it to you as a gift, take it: NEVER ALLOW POWERLESSNESS INSIDE YOU!’
I tell you, from the context of powerfulness, everything you do will be with so much of love and compassion.
In yesterday’s session I was sharing with the participants of Inner Awakening. The true compassion, when you identify it, the first thing that happens to you is, you will be so empowered, you will feel so sure about you. When you decide to cause others’ reality, only then you will understand what you are. Till then, what you think as you is only the deep pain patterns and incompletions of you. It may look very paradoxical. Life is as it is. Just because your ignorant logic cannot capture it, your ignorance logic tries to capture the life always as a straight line. But the truth of life is paradoxical, what you call as paradoxical, the first paradox. When you try to cause others’ reality, you will even realize what you are. You will understand the different spare-parts and organs of you, their functions, their qualities, capabilities, abilities, much better when you decide to cause others’ reality.
I tell you, during the period of study, means, the first eighteen years.... In those days, the first twenty-one years was the study period. Now, I can say, average eighteen years....or twenty-one years. The first twenty-one years of your study period, in Vedic tradition we call it “brahmacharya”. I tell you, this abusive, anti-Hindu media, they are propagating that I am forcing the kids to be in the state of brahmacharya like a regimental training in the first twenty-one years. These fools don’t understand that even to have a better married life, that first twenty-one years of brahmacharya is most essential! I am not making them Sannyasis. Krama Brahmacharya – the first twenty-one years, not being abused, or physically losing yourself with the very temperamental, temporary emotional ups and downs and powerlessness. In the West, they call it “puppy love”. Puppy love or dummy love, whatever!
See, psychologically not prepared to take the responsibility, emotionally not ready to handle the relationships, but using or misusing your own and the other person’s body will lead to a very strong pain pattern related to sex which will destroy your married life. That is why our rishis, till the person psychologically grows, emotionally matures, wanted the body not to be used or misused. That is why this first twenty-one years of brahmacharya with vows of not touching the other person and all that.
Listen! How much ever we try to put it under the carpet, not talk about it, let us be very honest. Listen! How many of you are still suffering with the patterns of use and misuse and abuse of your body before the age of twenty-one? Raise your hand! Who is responsible for all this? The paid media! The bloody propaganda against the Hindu Gurukul system! Arrey! I am not giving Sannyas! I have not given Sannyas to all my gurukul kids! But that brahmacharya as per the Vedic tradition will be useful whether they take Sannyas or get married. Till they emotionally become mature to make decisions, psychologically capable of handling the other person’s intentions, consciously becoming capable of handling love, lust, sex, good, bad, the baggages which come with it, and the expectation which comes with it, the responsibilities which come with it, the commitment which comes with it, till you are clear about all that, not using or misusing or abusing your body and the other body is one of the greatest socially good practices our Vedic rishis have created. It is good for the society.
The unholy nexus of psychologists and media, like we have food industry and pharmaceutical industry, the psychologists and media unholy nexus, constantly the movies showing that puppy love is something to be explored and celebrated, is stupidity. I don’t want to get into it too much now. But I wanted to tell you, all the powerlessness related to your body, your love.... See, a person who gets wounded psychologically before the age of twenty-one due to the immature patterns of considering infatuation as love, loses the ability to love forever! Forever your love will be corrupted! You don’t understand that paradox. The first twenty-one years of brahmacharya makes you a great wife and great husband. Your ability to give and receive love becomes amazing. Your ability to be mature, grow....
Some of the paradoxical things, what you call as paradoxical, is the truth of life. Like, brahmacharya trains you to be a great husband. The anti-Hindu media is not ready to believe that, because their concept is: Expertise comes by experience. Our concept is: Perfection comes by knowledge, the proper knowledge and preservation. If we can make all the parents understand that all the patterns, powerlessness you suffer in the field of love, relationships, trust, all the powerlessness you suffer in the field of love, relationships, powerlessness, comes because your body is used or misused or abused before twenty-one, means, before you become emotionally ready to handle life. When you use your own body or others’ body, it becomes such strong pattern, you suffer with it for your whole life. If you are a father or mother, understand this: Be responsible towards your kids. Let them take Krama Brahmacharya at least till twenty-one years of age.
What a stupidity in this country: Even to drive and vote we have age limit! Why can’t we make the age limit for handling relationships? Is it more cheaper than driving and voting? Understand, your relationships are cheaper than driving! I am not telling, your Government is telling! How come we have age limit for driving and voting, but not for handling relationships? And how come we have a licence process, the exams you need to pass through for driving, but you don’t need to be educated at all for handling relationships? Because, still we are under the stupid British concepts of love, life.
Please understand, we lost the concepts of love, life, lust, relationships, sex, everything from the Vedic tradition three-hundred years before. Thousand years before, the civilization which invaded us was teaching that killing somebody’s husband and marrying that girl as the fourteenth wife is called love! I am talking about Shah Jahan and Mumtaz. And, when that lady died, you immediately marry her sister because the sister looks like her! And you call this stupidity as love! This is what, O Bharat, you are celebrating as symbol of Love! Please wake up for god’s sake! Get back to, wake up to the truths of life!
Bramacharya for the first twenty-one years may look very suppressive, inhuman, the way the anti-Hindu media projects....inhuman! Then what about the whole life these poor fellows are suffering with those patterns created before twenty-one years, and the wounds created, because of the wounds the inability, they become handicapped, the ability to love is lost, the ability to trust is lost. What about all the suffering caused because of that? Who is responsible for that?
As the living representative of the Vedic tradition, I wanted to very strongly remind all of you, the whole humanity, please get back to the original brahmacharya, grihastha, vanaprastha, sannyasa, ashrama dharma promoted by our great rishis. The ashrama dharma, I know the moment I utter the word “ashrama dharma”, immediately, ‘Nithyananda promotes varnashrama dharma!’ What is wrong? At least that kept us as the oldest living civilization, oldest living civilization! What do you think kept us as the oldest living civilization? It is the fabric of varnashrama dharma!
One of the mistakes, flaws, I won’t even accept as mistakes done by the system, but forced upon the system, and blown out of proportion, used to destroy the system. That is what has happened to the Vedic varnashrama dharma. Sometimes I feel, ‘Why am I born in the Forward community? That is why I am not able to promote varnashrama dharma.’ If I am born in the so-called lower caste it would have been so easy for me to stand for the varnashrama dharma. It is so powerful, socially successful methodology! All the abusals imposed on that dharma, if it is removed, I tell you, that is the best lifestyle any human-beings can design for themselves and for others! Just because somebody gave a few hundred rupees to vote, there was some money movement, you cannot say the whole democracy is wrong and dump the democracy system. Same way, just because some so-called upper caste person has disrespected some so-called lower caste person, you can’t say the whole system is a failure. Corruption needs to be addressed, not the system needs to be thrown out. It is so unfortunate, we threw out the system.
Sometimes I think, because people question me, ‘Because you are born and brought up in the so-called society’s “upper caste”, you are promoting varnashrama dharma!’ No! I have a right to speak about varnashrama dharma, because hundreds and hundreds and thousands of so-called lower castes, I made them as sannyasis, and made them sit equivalent to me, and raised them in the so-called varna level, understand! I have made Brahmins touch the feet of my sannyasis who are from the so-called lower castes, because our system allows elevation, evolution from one varna to another, one ashrama to another. Understand, the system is not banning the evolution of varna or ashrama. Varna or ashrama is the utility division, not water-tight compartments. There are tons of the so-called lower varna people who are worshipped in temples with their statues established! The whole sixty-three Nayanmars in all the Shiva temples you see in Tamil Nadu, the sixty-three Shaiva saints, I can tell you, easily, at least in one-thousand temples their statues are worshipped! At least, the main four will be there. How many do you think in these sixty-three are so-called upper caste, Brahmins, Shaiva Brahmins? Hardly a handful! I am giving you one example.
But I know and I am confident and I am happy about one thing. Already India has started facing the depression, the stark reality of depression of matchbox-house apartment system, the small-small families, the great gift of western lifestyle to Indian modern-day cities, the small families, and the apartment system, and not knowing what is going on in the next apartment and who is staying in the next apartment, all in the name of privacy. Indians have started feeling and seeing the stark reality of depression it causes. Soon, they will have to get back to the original lifestyle of varnashrama. I really wanted to establish communities where this varnashrama dharma becomes user-friendly version, the user-friendly version of varnashrama dharma is kept alive, the possibility for graduating different varnas, ashramas, to the next, next, next levels.
A deep, intelligent insight into your life, into the paradox of pattern, powerfulness, powerlessness, what you resist persists, life should neither be resisted nor accepted. Understand, acceptance makes you lazy, resistances makes you powerless. Neither resisting nor accepting is the strategy for life. Neither resisting nor accepting is the strategy for life. Realizing the reality of life by this one secret, always be powerful, always be powerful! That is the essence of today’s satsangh. When you are powerful, you will go on causing others’ reality, you will have the ability to speak into others’ listening.
The essence of today’s satsangh: GO ON CAUSING OTHERS’ REALITY.
And, with this, I will move to the Kalpataru process.
All the participants who came for Kalpataru Darshan in Ananda Vana and St. Louis and everywhere, all over the world, please sit straight. Close your eyes. Spend a few seconds to identify the one thought you want to cause as reality, and all the doubts, incompletions and fears you have around that thought, and pen down both.
(After a few minutes...........)
Now please sit straight. Complete with all the incompletions you have and drop them. Hold the space for what you want to cause as reality. Hold on to the space for what you want to cause as reality now. Namah Shivaya!
KALPATARU MEDITATION IN PROGRESS....................
Thathaasthu! The space you created, let it become reality! The visualization you created, let it become reality!
I bless all the participants who have gathered in the University of California, Los Angeles, for the Kalpataru Darshan! I bless all of you who have gathered in UCLA-California! Whatever space you created, let it become reality! Whatever visualization you held on, let it become reality! Thathaasthu!
We will move to the Dial-the-Avatar calls. Then we will have Kalpataru Darshan for all the participants who have gathered in Ananda Vana, Varanasi, here, and to all the participants who have gathered in St. Louis.
I bless you all! Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, Enriching and Causing eternal bliss, Nithyananda! Thank you!
