Now, with this, I welcome all of you with my love and respects.

Today, the sixth day of the Meenakshi Brahmotsavam!  Mahadeva and Meenakshi are gracing us on the sixth day of Meenakshi Brahmotsavam.  Let us bow down to them.

In Bidadi, Meenakshi is gracing on the Golden Peacock Vehicle, Suvarna Mayura Vaahana, and Sundareshwara is gracing with a pearl crown, pearl and rudraksha crown.  (Arathi being done to Meenakshi and Sundareshwara at Bidadi is projected onto the screen).  Hope you guys are able to see.

Yes!  We will move to the next part of the satsangh.

Today, in the Inner Awakening, we are going to expand on, we are going to work on Root Patterns, the pattern of struggle with which you are constantly keeping your inauthenticity alive. 

Many times, whenever I open up and share a truth, people ask me, ‘Swamiji, tell us how to do.....technique.’  The moment I give the technique, ‘Swamiji, how to do this technique, can you give some other technique?’  The moment I give a technique for the technique, they say, ‘Can you give a technique for the technique of the technique?’!!  Means, in your effort to postpone the tansformation, in your effort to postpone Authenticity happening, just to keep your inauthenticity alive, you go on making all the techniques ineffective on you.  Please understand, root pattern is the system through which you continue to keep your struggle and inauthenticity – the strong belief that you cannot do it – alive!  All of you understand?  Keeping “you cannot do it” alive!  See, as long as that “you cannot do it” is kept alive only......

Listen!  I am defining Root Pattern.  I don’t speak from my mind; I speak from spontaneity.  Listen!  Root Pattern is nothing but the pattern through which you keep your struggle, your impossibility, your inauthenticity alive.  Why you don’t want to have a breakthrough?  Because, if you have a breakthrough, then more and more possibility for transformation will open up. 

I have seen, when people come to the ashram in the name of seekers and sannyasis, they don’t want to take any responsibility and make it successful, because if they do one, then, naturally, the reward for one success is one more responsibility!  Please understand, the reward for one success is one more responsibility! 

So, understand, Root Pattern is what Buddha calls as “Mara”, Advaitha calls as “Maya”.  In every tradition, what we consider as the biggest blockage for enlightenment is Root Pattern.  But do you know the funny thing?  Root Pattern is not that powerful as it is portrayed in many traditions!  Mara is not that powerful!  Maya is not that powerful!

Please listen!  Just a few days before, myself and one of my Mahants, both of us were going for an evening boat ride.  When we went, don’t ask!  Just a few hours, somehow we stole from our tight schedule.  Myself and Mokshapriyan, we were sitting.  So, at that time, there was a discussion, very serious discussion.  It is very difficult to get Mokshapriyan’s listening!  There was a very serious discussion about why our Vision Department has no vision.

He was telling, ‘Swamiji, we need to bring new hands, new people inside, because these guys, constantly they are in fear syndrome, Swamiji.’ 

I asked, ‘Why?  Tell me.’

‘See, they do some mistake and then get fired and fall into fear, and because of that fear they do more mistakes, and it becomes a vicious circle!’

I was laughing!  Please understand! 

I told him, ‘This moment I am ready to liberate them all.  I will be the most happiest person to liberate them this moment, and say, “This moment you become a Shrimahant.  Run it on your own”.’ 

I am the first person, I will be the first person....because, if you keep anybody under fear, you will be kept under fear, understand!  Whatever you maintain with people around you, you will be made to maintain that.  This is a law of life.  If you maintain joy with people around you, you will be made to maintain joy inside you.  If you maintain trust with people around you, you will be made to maintain trust inside you, because you are not intelligent enough to separate you and others all the time.  So, be very clear, what you spread with the people around you, that will be automatically forced inside you.  If you are all the time inside a charcoal godown, naturally the charcoal dust will get into your system.  If you are all the time inside an acid tank, naturally the acid will somehow get into your system.  If you are all the time inside the nectar pot, naturally the nectar will get into your system.  So, what is the pattern with which you hold the people around you....

I am the last person....not even last, I will never want to hold people through fear, because I know the science.  If I have to hold people through fear, I will be held under fear.  It is a law of life.  I always wanted to hold people by inspiration, joy, vision, success, bliss, powerfulness, Completion.

I asked him, ‘Please you find a solution and come back with some solution.’

I am sharing this incident just to reveal this one important truth:  With what you hold people around you, is your Root Pattern!  Inside me, I constantly hold people around me through my bliss, seeing their possibility.  That is why life also holds me in the same way, understand?  But, unfortunately, people get frightened by the bliss and transformation to their possibility.  Many people who come in the name of seekers, they are afraid of transformation!  Because, transformation means more responsibility!  And once you take it up, the reward will be more responsibility.  Once you take it up, the reward will be more responsibility. 

Once, the Pancheshwar was sitting and questioning somebody who has done some mistake.  See, in our Sangha, we have a self-corrective mechanism – “Pancheshwar”.  Means, either five Shrimahants or Mahants sit and take an oath that ‘We will handle these rare situations and the person, only based on Dharma, the Advaitha tatwa.’  And then they conduct an investigation or inquiry into that problem or the mistakes of the person, help the person to come out of that mental setup; that’s all.  And the person takes a prayaschitta (atonement) on his own, or her own, whatever that person has to do to get out of that mental pattern. 

So, once the Pancheshwar was sitting and inquiring a person.  The person had done some mistake and not ready to accept.  The Pancheshwar decided that this person should not be in our ashram, or, at least, should be transferred to the branch centre.  I told very clearly, ‘We are hoping to have ten-lakh sadhus.  The structure we are creating is for a million sannyasis.  So, you think this kind of models, specimens, sample pieces will not come in the ten-lakh?  So, like this, ten-thousand will come in that ten-lakh.  So, handle this one, train this one, and get trained.’  Understand, success in responsibility is rewarded with more responsibility.  I told the Pancheshwar, ‘Yes, you are successful in your responsibility.  The reward now for you is more responsibility.  Now you have to be successful handling this one person, because you are going to have ten-lakh persons like this, understand?’

I think you need to understand that two things.  One truth, the reward for the success is more responsibility.  And, if you want success, you should take more responsibility.

I told the Pancheshwar, ‘You guys are planning for ten-lakh sannyasis.  We are working towards that vision.  Because, the vision I give is the vision you carry, you hold.’

I am very clear, the whole Sangha is clearly working towards causing ten-lakh, means, one-million, spiritually educated, experienced, radiating sannyasis.  Please understand, I will cause this while I am in this body.  That is the only way Sanatana Hindu Dharma can be revived practically as every individual’s life strategy, life science.  If you see the Master Plan of my Samadhi, you will be shocked.  Samadhi alone, ten-thousand samadhis, I am doing the Master Plan!  Means, in this ten-lakh, whoever becomes enlightened while they are living, they will all have their Samadhi around my Samadhi.  So, at least, at least, ten-thousand enlightened beings will have Samadhi in one place!  This larger responsibility needs you to take more responsibility. 

Your Root Pattern should become powerless by the way you take responsibility, or your responsibilities will become powerless by the way your Root Pattern overpowers you.  Listen, it is the game of who wins over whom, who declares their supremacy over whom, whether your responsibility is going to declare its supremacy over your Root Pattern, or your Root Pattern is going to declare its supremacy over your responsibility.  That’s all!  That’s all!  Are you going to be chanting “impossibility” twenty-four hours as Ajapa Japa – “Impossible, Impossible, Impossible!  Sitting down also impossible!  Finally, lying down also impossible!  Eating is also impossible!  Nothing is possible!  Impossible, Impossible, Impossible, Impossible!”?  Are you going to be doing that Japa of impossibility, or “Possible, Possible, Possible, Possible, Possible!”?  It is just a war whether your Root Pattern is going to declare its supremacy over you, or your responsibility is going to declare its supremacy over your Root Pattern.  The whole thing boils down to that one line.

Root Pattern is the constant impossibility you cherish.

Yesterday I was put a question by Pragnesh: ‘Swamiji, Please define Advaitha, feeling oneness with other people.  At the physical level, mind level, there cannot be oneness due to uniqueness of each individual.  There can be connection only at the heart, or at the heart level of consciousness, awareness.  Can you please explain?’

I think this question you will understand more when you work on the Root Pattern.  Pragnesh, I will show you the experiential answer for that question today itself, because, today we are going to work on the Root Pattern.  You will see, even at the physical and mental level, Advaitha can be experienced.  “Each one is unique” itself is Advaitha!  “Each one is the same only” is not Advaitha.  “Each one is unique” is Advaitha.  How?  You will see today! 

Oneness is not Advaitha, understand.  Advaitha is non-duality, but not oneness.  The moment you say “one”, there is “two”.  So, this has to be experienced.  Today you will see.

The Root Pattern, the pattern which started patterns in you, the parent of patterns in you, is Root Pattern.  Parent of patterns in you is Root Pattern.  Listen!

At some point, the Advaitha is lost in every human-being’s life.  At that moment only the Root Pattern starts growing in you.  Now, completing with the Root Pattern, getting back to the original state of Advaitha, the original space of Advaitha, is what we are going to work on today.  Today that is what we are going to work on. 

One thing I am very happy.  Let me express in my own words directly.  I am happy with this whole batch, with all you guys.  The sincerity you guys carry is more than what I expected for such a large batch.  Please understand, such a large batch, the whole overall sincerity is more than what I expected.  So, you guys are doing what you need to do.  So, I commit with you guys and promise I will do what I need to do.  I will surely do what I need to do.  With this team I can really feel that we will be able to help everyone to find the Root Pattern and complete with it. 

Any adult, the moment your body becomes physically mature, the first thing you need to do, the person needs to be taught is, finding the Root Pattern and completing with it.  Finding the Root Pattern and completing with it.  It is very unfortunate we human-beings lost this science.  Human-beings lost this since.

Mahadeva’s Trishul represents Completion with Root Pattern.  Because, only his Trishul can destroy our Root Pattern.  Only his Trishul is powerful enough to find our Root Pattern.  And you are in the city which is held by Mahadeva’s Trishul – Varanasi, Ananda Vana.  And, that is why, when Shankara divides the areas and makes Shankaracharyas – in the South he makes Dakshinamnaya Shringeri Peetha, Uttaramnaya, Paschimamnaya, Purvamnaya – he makes all the four Peethas, Purva, Uttara, Paschima, Dakshina.  Then after the successor is installed, the Shankaracharyas are supposed to retire.  The retiring place is Moolamnaya – Kanchi.  But he says very clearly, in any of these, Kashi is not covered, Kashi does not come under any of these five.  Because Kashi is held by Mahadeva’s Trishula, it is called Oordhwamnaya!  He makes it as a separate Amnaya, Kashi.  And this is the place, Varanasi is the place, where he conquered Mandana Mishra, and Mandana Mishra became his disciple Sureshwaracharya.  Kashi has become Oordhwamnaya, because Mahadeva holds this Ananda Vana by the tip of his Trishul. 

Somebody asked me, ‘Swamiji, you gave names to so many cities, spiritual names.....’ 

Many of you may be aware that for Ohio I gave the spiritual name “Prayag”, for Oklahoma “Somanatham”, for New York “Varanasi”, for London “Kashi”.  I have given spiritual name wherever our ashrams and temples are there.  For St. Louis “Thirumala”.  Only “Kashi” name I have given to two cities; means, one “Kashi” (London), one “Varanasi” (New York). 

Somebody asked me, ‘Swamiji, you love this name “Ananda Vana”.  Why you have not given this name to a city?’ 

I wanted to give this name “Ananda Vana” wherever my quarters are built, wherever there is another staying place for me.  In any ashram if there is a staying place for me, that space should be called “Ananda Vana”.  Because, this Ananda Vana is held by Mahadeva in his Trishul, understand.  In this sacred place, right place, right person, right process you are going to go through today!  Only Mahadeva’s Trishul can destroy your Root Pattern.  And, I commit with you guys, it will destroy all your Root Patterns and liberate you all from the Root Patterns, free you all from the Root Patterns!  Freedom from all the Root Patterns is the real freedom!  Freedom from the Root Patterns is the real freedom!

The essence of today’s satsangh – three statements:

·         How you hold the people around you, the same way life will hold you.  If you hold your teamily with love, trust, joy, life will hold you with love, trust, joy.  If you hold your teamily with fear, life will hold you with fear.  If you hold your teamily with bliss and possibility, life will hold you in the same way with bliss and possibility.  I am very clear, I hold my teamily with bliss and possibility.  How you hold your teamily, life will hold you the same way.  That is the first statement.

·         Second: Your Root Pattern is the first pattern which moved you away from Advaitha, brought you to hell, started and continuing to torture you.

·         Third: The good news is, you can discover your Root Pattern and complete it.  The best news is, today we will do it!  There is no need that always after a good news, bad news has to come.  No!  After a good news, best news can come.

Ma Jnanatma has a question: ‘You have told earlier, how you hold people is what they are attracting.  That is the only way they will get awakened to life.  So, is it not that Swamiji is putting them into fear, because that is the only thing that will awaken them and they are attracting it?’

No!  Please be very clear.  I hold all of you only with bliss and possibility.  You need to know, even the bliss, when it comes too much, you get frightened!  Because, bliss will remind you of all your possibility which will take you away from your usual cosy slumber with which you go on cheating yourself and me, understand!  Yesterday, when I asked you, now nicely you were cheating, ‘No, no, no, no, no, I have to be here...’, so that you don’t need to be doing anything else, and here you can be sleeping in the tech pit.  So, look in, what keeps you cosy?  That holds you in fear, not me!  I hold you in bliss and possibility.  That is why I am always held by life in bliss and possibility.  Mokshapriyan, clear?  So, I am not responsible for the fear of the Vision Department.

When there is bliss and possibility, you get frightened of possibility, ‘If I am successful in this, by mistake if I am successful in this, more work will come to me, more responsibility.  Then I will become a Mahant, Shrimahant, and I may become like Swamiji.  Oh God!  Who wants his life?  You can only go to bed by night 11:30, 12 o’clock!  And, even after that, you have to attend to many things.  And early morning you have to be out and be here!  It is not one day, two days, but day in and day out!  And you will have to be all the time smiling, joyful!’ 

So, be very clear, I cannot hold anybody in fear, because I don’t have fear.  Only what I have, with that I can hold you guys.  See, if I have a knife in my hand, I can hold you all through the knife.  If I have a flower, I can hold you guys only through flower.  I only have flower with me; but the flower itself is so much, you are afraid of getting into it, being held by it. 

Intensity is not violence.  Intensity of Swamiji is not aggression.  In aggression, your possibility will be denied.  In violence, your possibility will be denied.  In intensity, your possibility will be constantly reminded to you.  There is a big difference between intensity and violence.  In violence, the end expectation is, you getting destroyed.  In intensity, the end result, expectation is, you flowering.  So, the training model for our Sangha is intensity, not violence.  Clear?

So, with this, I will move to the Kalpataru process.

All the cities all over the world, and the people from Ananda Vana, I request all of you to take a paper and pen.  Pen down one desire you want to cause as reality, and all the doubts, fears, impossibilities you have around that thought.  Pen down both.

(After a few minutes.....................)

Yes....now sit straight.  Complete with all the doubts, incompletions, fears you have.  Drop them.  Hold on to the space you want to cause as reality.  If you want health, see you are healthy.  If you want wealth, see you are wealthy.  Hold that space.  Hold that space sincerely, intensely, completely.

KALPATARU MEDITATION IN PROGRESS.....................

Thathaasthu!  I bless you all!  The space you hold, let it become reality!  The space you created, let it become reality!  The visualization you held, let it become reality!  Thathaasthu!

We will have darshan for the people who came in Ananda Vana.

I bless you all!  After this, we will have only Mahants meeting.  Only Mahants can sit.  Others can leave the hall after the darshan. 

So, now, I bless you all!  Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, Enriching and Causing eternal bliss, Nithyananda!  Thank you!

Nithyanandeshwara Samaarambhaam

Nithyanandeshwari Madhyamaam |

Asmath Aachaarya Paryanthaam

Vandhey Guru Paramparaam ||

I welcome all the devotees, disciples, samajis, satsanghis, Shrimahants, Mahants, Kotharis, Thanedars, sitting with us through two-way video-conferencing having Nayana Deeksha, and Nithyananda TV, Sadhna TV.

I welcome all of you with my love and respects.

Today, in the Inner Awakening, we are going to work on “COMPLETION”.

The greatest gift Mahadeva gave to the world, Hara, Shiva, Adi Guru gave to the world, is the SCIENCE OF COMPLETION.  He has given so many things: Yoga to handle the body, Kriya to handle your prana mandala, breathing, Tantra to handle your various samskaaras.  So many wonderful gifts Mahadeva has given to the world.  But the best, the “bestest”, “bestestest”, incomparable gift from Mahadeva is this Science of Completion.

The Completion science starts with Advaitha!  Please understand, that is the beauty!  It starts with Advaitha, ends in Advaitha.  Any other technique like Puja, Homa, or Japa, all these techniques start in Dvaitha and end in Advaitha, start in Visishtadvaitha and end in Advaitha, they start in some other space, but lead you to Advaitha.  Completion, Completion, the context itself is Advaitha only!  The very context of Completion is Advaitha.  Completion is the one and only process which can be named as Living Advaitha.  The very process is non-dualisitic, advaithic.  The context from which Completion starts is Advaitha.  The space which grows in you during the practice is again Advaitha.  And the space you achieve end of the day after the practice is Advaitha.  Literally Living Advaitha, the process of Completion is Living Advaitha.

Advaitha becoming reality in your day-to-day life, Advaitha becoming reality in your day-to-day life, please understand, any other technique, while you are practicing, Advaitha does not become reality; but only the process of Completion, even when you are practicing, Advaitha becomes your reality, Advaitha becomes your lifestyle.

Understand, one more important thing, very important truth I wanted to bring to your notice, Japa, Puja, Meditation, Pranayama, everything you only have to do for yourself; others can’t do; you can’t do for others. If you do for others, others can have psychological satisfaction, but not the immediate impact of it, understand?  When you go and tell others, ‘I have done puja for you’, they can have the psychological satisfaction.  When they tell you, you can have psychological satisfaction.  You can feel that, that person loves you; that’s all; but there is no immediate effect of it.  But, in the process of Completion, only this process of Completion you can do for others, others can do it for you; because, the context from which this process of Completion starts is Advaitha, Oneness.  All of us are one, and all of us radiate the same space.  All of us are one, and all of us radiate the same space.  That is the context from which Completion starts.  That is the basis of the Science of Completion, understand.  That is why you can do Completion for others, others can do Completion for you.   Completion is the process, the technique, Krishna describes:  “Even if you practice very little, you will have a lot of good things happening to you!”  I can say, this statement exactly matches for Completion.  Even if you practice very little, lot, lot, so much of good can happen to you!  

Understand, Completion is such a powerful process!  I can tell you, it directly leads you to the experience of Advaitha.  After that, you can just go on be strategizing, cognizing from the space of Advaitha.  As I said, achieving advaithic experience, living Advaitha, is not the end of the journey.  That is like, only then you get the Driving Licence.  Driving Licence is not end of the journey.  Only when you get the Driving Licence you can start driving.  Living Advaitha is not the end of the journey; it is a Driving Licence.  From there when you start operating, everything is successful.  Operating from the space of Advaitha is what I call “Rewriting your Future”.  Not just developing your future, but altering your future!  I am not teaching you some self-development technique.  No!  I am not teaching you some self-development, personality development course.  No!  I tell you, in a way, living Advaitha is not even transforming your life; it is just rewriting your life!  You can rewrite your future!  You can rewrite your past the way you perceive it, understand?  Only Completion gives you the power to rewrite even your past.  All other techniques give you the power to rewrite your future.  Only Completion gives you the power to rewrite even your past.  Your past needs to be rewritten.  If your future needs to be rewritten, your past needs to be rewritten.  Rewriting your past, rewriting your future, both happen by the power of Completion.  From today, all of you, everyone who is in the Inner Awakening is going to be initiated experientially into the process of Completion. 

Some of the basic understandings you need to have for Completion to start:

Your source, your centre is always in the space of Completion.  Your source, your centre is always in the space of Completion.  That is first.

Second, please listen, second, all incompletions are interferences, interruptions, interpolations, or, I can say, manipulations of reality.  They are not reality by themselves.  Anything which makes you powerless, feel powerless, tired, bored, sick, guilty, frightened, any form of powerlessness, anything brings, understand, that is incompletion.  Even if you have fear about God, it is an incompletion!  God can be entertained, but not the fear.  That is the beauty of the Vedic tradition.  You are never asked to be afraid of God, because we are not going to make an organization out of God.  We are going to make you organized out of God, not organization out of God, understand?  Making you organized out of the concept of God is different, making an organization out of the concept of God is different.  In Vedic tradition, through God we make you organized, not organization. 

“Sangha” is not organization.  “Sangha” means association.  Nithyananda Sangha is not organization; it is association with Nithyananda, that’s all!  “Sa” “Angha” means, all your parts become organized, all your components become organized; your body, your mind, your soul, your consciousness, everything becomes organized; your being, everything becomes organized.  See, if you have money, you will have certain courage.  If you have some skill, you will have certain courage: ‘Whatever happens, with this skill I will make money and live!’  If you have certain knowledge, you will have certain courage.  If you have your own house, you will have certain courage.  If you have a stable family, you will have certain courage.  So, each thing gives you certain courage.  The Sangha with Nithyananda, association with Nithyananda, gives you the courage of consciousness.  Nithyananda Sangha is courage of consciousness.  It is not organization; it is organism; making you organized! 

Understand, whatever brings you powerlessness, you have to complete it.  You have to complete it.  Moving away from it is not the solution.  If snake brings you fear, moving away from it is not the solution.  Going and playing with it and getting bitten is also not solution.  Why the fear starts?  From where it started?  What was the pattern?  Looking in and completing is the solution.  Neither resisting nor accepting!  Neither resisting nor accepting! 

I saw, of late, so many people are having second thoughts to come near me because of this (Swamiji points to the snake staff, the “Kundalini Pirambu” he carries)!  HAHAHAHAHAHA!  One, this looks so real!  Second, they are afraid that by Swamiji’s hand if he touches, anything can become alive!  When his hand touches, so many dead people come alive, come back to life!  Who knows when it (the snake staff) will come alive?  HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Neither resisting nor accepting!  By accepting you will become lazy.  By resisting you will become powerless.  Finally, both are powerlessness.  No resistance, no acceptance; only Completion.  Anything which makes you powerless is incompletion.  That needs to be completed.  And, before Completion, whatever space you experience is not the reality by its own strength.  Please understand, reality should be reality by its own strength, not just because it is a shared reality.  Listen!  Listen!  Reality should be reality by its own strength, not just because it is a shared reality.  Reality should be reality by its own strength, not because it is a shared reality.

I will give you an example:

Whether all human-beings see the sun rise or not, the sun will continue to rise.  That is the reality, being reality by its own strength.  But if all human-beings decide not to use the Dollar, the Dollar will not have any value.  This is shared reality, understand?  There is a big difference between shared reality and real reality.  The value of gold is because of shared reality.  All of us accept gold is valuable.  All of us accept diamond is valuable, or are made to accept, I can say.  All of us are made to accept diamond is valuable, gold is valuable.  Because of that, it becomes valuable.  This is called “shared reality”.  Reality should be reality by its own strength. 

In Zen, they give a beautiful Koan.  Zen is a branch of Mahanirvani Akhada, all of you need to know.  Of the fifty-two branches of Mahanirvani Akhada, Buddhism is one branch, because Buddha took sannyas from Mahanirvani Akhada.  He was never a rebel.  His disciples made him look a rebel.  Like Jesus came to revive Judaism; he was never a rebel.  His disciples wanted to say he has done something new.  So they made him a rebel.  Only then they can make a new religion out of him.  Same way, Buddha.  Buddha was never a rebel.  Till the end, he wore the Mahanirvani Akhada’s dress very orthodoxically!  And all the teachings he gave is directly from Mahanirvani Akhada!  The Sankhya philosophy of Kapila only he taught.  That is why he is called “Sakya Muni”.  The name “Sankhya Muni” became “Sakya Muni”.  “Gautama” is one of the titles given in the Mahanirvani Akhada for the revered beings.  (Buddha was also known as “Gautama the Buddha”).

So, understand, all the teachings of Buddhism are directly from Mahanirvani Akhada.  Even the word “nirvana” is from Mahanirvani.  He takes sannyas at the Mahanirvani Ghat in Varanasi, then experiences nirvana, goes and sits in Sarnath and starts teaching.  And he was never anti-Hinduism as some people try to project.  See, Hinduism gives you the beautiful possibility to put what you want as priority.  When Shankara says he accepts the Vedas, he puts Vedas as a priority through which you can achieve.  When Buddha says he does not accept the Vedas....I don’t even mean he doesn’t accept the Vedas, he doesn’t mean that; he wants.......  Actually, he never said anywhere he doesn’t accept the Vedas.  May be interpolations have been done, manipulations have been done in his teachings.  He says, ‘Let us first put the first priority for “experience”.  Let us first try to experience the truth.’  So he put experience as the first priority; that’s all.  And that is exactly the way Hinduism thinks.  So Buddha belongs to Sanatana Hindu Dharma.  He is part of Sanatana Hindu Dharma.  Mahanirvani Akhada’s fifty-second “marhi” (branch) is Buddhism.  Among the fifty-two “marhis” of Mahanirvani Akhada, Buddhism is one. 

Understand, in Zen, they have a beautiful Koan: “If a bamboo falls in a forest where nobody is there, will it still make a sound?  Will the noise be heard still?  Even if there is nobody to hear the noise, will the noise be heard still?”  Understand, I can also give you guys many Koans and ask you to contemplate and come back and stay.  Noise will be made, but not heard!  Noise being made is the reality by its own strength.  Noise being heard is the shared reality. 

To make you understand the difference between shared reality and real reality, this Koan is given.  In many of the things we have is shared reality.  Unfortunately, shared reality settling down in you, and you start believing them as real reality, is what I call “incompletions” and “patterns”.  Shared reality getting mixed with the real reality is “incompletions”.  You becoming clear of shared reality and real reality is “Advaitha”, “Completion”, understand?   

The simplest definition:  The value of Dollar, the value of gold, the value of diamond, all these are shared reality; because all of us share, it has a value.  There are some real realities which stands just by its authority, whether we all share it or not.  Reality and shared reality mixing, getting confused, is “incompletion”.  You being clear about reality and shared reality, in your cognition, is “Completion”.  You being clear, you being clear about the shared reality and real reality, is “Completion”. 

The Completion process frees you, liberates you from the complications of shared reality becoming real reality.  In every level, whether beliefs of your biology, beliefs of your psychology, beliefs of your consciousness, the beliefs and faiths you carry about society, the images, concepts you carry about you, the images, concepts you project about you to others, the images, concepts you have about the world and others, everything, everything needs to be analyzed and you need to come to clarity about the real reality and shared reality.  Coming to the clarity will happen through Completion.  Completion will bring you that clarity.  It will make you experience what is shared reality, what is real reality, and through that, from that clarity when you operate, Advaitha becomes reality for you, life becomes so easy you can just make what you want as reality.

The essence of today’s satsangh:

Completion starts from Advaitha, moves through Advaitha, leads you to Advaitha.  That is the “bestest” gift Mahadeva gave to the world.  Let us use that to separate the reality and shared reality, and live, make decisions from the reality.

With this, I will move to the Nirahara Samyama.  Today, Nirahara Samyama Level-1, Day-2, and “The” Samyama, Day-2.  I bless all the Nirahara Samyama and “The” Samyama participants to be successful and carry on with their Nirahara Samyama process. 

Now, I will start the Kalpataru process.  We will start the Kalpataru process.  Listen!  Pick up paper and pen.  Pen down one thought you want to cause as reality.  Pen down one thought you want to cause as reality, and all the fears, doubts, incompletions, impossibilities, around that thought.  Write both.  The thought you want to cause as reality, and all the incompletions, doubts, impossibilities you have around that thought, pen down both.

(After a few minutes.......)

Please now sit straight.  Complete with all the incompletions you wrote and drop them.  Create the space, visualize what you want to achieve as reality.  For example, if you want health, visualize you are already healthy.  If you want wealth, visualize you are already wealthy.  If you want enlightenment, visualize you are already enlightened.  Create the space for what you want to achieve.  Complete all the incompletions and drop.  Namah Shivaya!  Hold the space for what you want to cause as reality!  Namah Shivaya!

KALPATARU MEDITATION IN PROGRESS...........

Thathaasthu!  I bless you all!  The space you created, let it become reality!  Whatever you visualized, let it become reality!  Namah Shivaya!

I bless you all!  Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, Enriching, and Causing the eternal bliss, Nithyananda!  Thank you!

I welcome all of you with my love and blessings.

After a powerful webinar....!  Yesterday’s webinar is good news.  The next webinar will be great news!

Today, I will continue to expand on the space of Advaitha.

Please understand, even though in the modern world Advaitha is branded as a very powerful theology, a very powerful philosophy, originally Advaitha was not developed as a philosophy.  It evolved as a sweet personal instruction between a disciple and Master whose love circle is complete.  Please understand, it reached its perfection, it reached its peak possibility.....

Please understand, an ayurvedic medicine may be sold in any small shop.  It might have been available to you in some small shop, in some small gully (lane).  Because it is available in a small shop in a small village in a small gully, don’t think it is produced there.  Where Research & Development (R&D) is done and perfection has been arrived at is a different place.  Now Advaitha has become a philosophy, well-known theology.  I can say, in a way, the most promoted theology of Hindu Tradition has become Advaitha.  Of course, Advaitha is worthy to have that space, because, the truth Vedic Tradition wanted to share, the truth towards which the tradition is showing is Advaitha Sathya.  It is neither Siddhanta nor Vedanta, it is Sathya.  Vedanta or Siddhanta, both developed later on in course of time.  That is why I wanted to tell all of you, the Advaitha I am sharing with you, the truths of Advaitha I am sharing with you are revived by Shankara, but originally shared by Mahadeva and Kapila.  It is from the time of Mahadeva, from the time of Kapila.  Shankara revived it.  How I am making Advaitha user-friendly to this modern day humanity, same way, Shankara made it user-friendly for his time.  But don’t ever make the mistake of thinking Shankara developed Advaitha.  No!  Advaitha Sathya existed, exists forever!  What I am doing is, I am doing a practical liberated thinking which makes you experience the truth of Advaitha, which makes you operate from the space of Advaitha.  That is exactly what Shankara did during his lifetime.  Making Advaitha as an operating space, liberated thinking as a day-to-day thinking, the space of Advaitha as a cognition from which you will operate, that is what Shankara did in his time. 

So, I wanted every one of you to be very clear, the truths I am sharing with you is directly from the inner-space of Mahadeva.  Please understand, research and development and perfection of these great truths the way they are lived, they way they are transmitted, the way they are contemplated, the way they are listened, is perfection.  The research and development and the perfection has happened in the great loving space of Mahadeva.  That is why I insist on coming down, staying around the Master, spending a little time around him, and allowing this perfection to happen in you.  Please understand, in the love of the Master, these teachings become part of your very bio-energy.  Love of the Master is from the space of bio-energy, pure Kundalini Shakthi, unpolluted.  So, naturally, that awakens your Kundalini Shakthi; your core opens up.

A few days before, I received a message from a devotee in Mumbai in Facebook.  She writes: ‘I always had tremendous fear to open up to you, feeling scared about being open to you, because the moment I come to see you, or come near you, you are such powerful addictive space, I feel I will be lost in it!’  I tell you, you will find you in it; you will never be lost in it!  Please understand, when you are afraid of your own core being, you are afraid of the love which comes from the core being of the Master.  I have never seen the Master’s love making you lose you.  I have always seen the Master’s love making you find you.

This great truth is perfected in the space of Advaitha, in the space of Advaitha, in the presence of the Master.  Please understand, that is why I insist on you coming down and spending time with the Master in his physical presence where this truth is transmitted to you in the supportive, protective, caring, loving ambience, energy field of the Master.  At least, the initiation should happen in the physical presence.  The initiation should happen in the physical presence.

So, understand, the truth of Advaitha, it is like medicines across the counter.  You can get it from wherever you are just through two-way video-conferencing.  But, for surgery, you have to come to the operating theatre.  So, for real transformation, you have to come to the presence of the Master where the transformation becomes your reality, becomes part of your inner-space.

The story of Padmapada, one of the great disciples of Adi Shankaracharya, proves clearly that just by the feeling-connection with him, feeling-connection with Adi Shankara, he has mastered Nature.  He was so powerful, in tune with Nature, he was so beautifully in sync with Nature!  You may or may not know the story. 

He (Padmapada) was a great disciple of Adi Shankara, but is not that intellectually capable, but highly devoted, dedicated, integrated to the Master, integrated to his disciple-hood.  One day, he went to wash the clothes of the Master to the other banks of the river.  He was washing there.  Some of the other disciples of Shankara were discussing, they were making fun of Padmapada.  ‘What is this?  This fellow is all the time washing clothes!  Did he come here to become a laundry man?  If he is not studying any scriptures, not contemplating, when is he going to get enlightened, master Nature, Prakriti, life?’ 

Shankara was just laughing.  He (Padmapada) may be a little less capable in an intellectual way, but he is an amazing intelligent being who is doing what needs to be done first, who is putting first things first.  Shankara wanted to show this to the other disciples.  So he just gets up and calls from where he is: ‘Padmapada, please come!’  Actually he used the word for the first time – “Padmapada” (“Lotus Feet”).  Earlier, his (Padmapada’s) name was different.  He just calls the disciple.

The moment the Master calls, the disciple forgot everything.  He just starts walking on the river!  The river thought, ‘Oh, God, now I have to protect him!  When somebody has such a deep space of trust with the whole Cosmos.....’ – Master is the representation of the whole Cosmos – ‘.....I can’t allow him to suffer!  I can’t let him down!’  So, the river just makes lotus flowers and holds his feet wherever he puts his feet.

Please understand, the Lotus will never happen in a river, because a river is flowing water.  It only happens in a pond, stable water.  But, here, the lotus is happening in river water. 

And the river holds his feet wherever he walks (by making huge lotus flowers appear wherever the disciple, Padmapada, puts his feet) and makes him cross the river! 

Usually, people will be anxious when they are crossing a river to reach the other side.  But, here, a river is anxious when a person is crossing that she has to reach him to the other side! 

Because every feet, his (the disciple’s) every step is held by a lotus, he was called “Padmapada”.

Shankara demonstrated to all his disciples the need for the loving space, the need for the loving space for the transmission of the Advaithic truth to happen.  Because, your birth itself has happened when you denied the Self, Advaitha!  Something that deep which is able to make you assume the human body and broken mind cannot be transcended unless you trust somebody more than your human body and broken mind.  So, the Master makes himself available for you to experience the Completion of the love circle.  He makes it possible for you to experience the Completion of the love circle.

Constantly reminding you of the context of Advaithic space is the constitution of the Master’s space.  Please understand, whatever he does, he stands for constantly reminding you the context of Advaitha, constantly reminding you to stand in the space of cosmic non-duality. 

Karma, the hangover of the past!  Please listen!  We always feel, whenever we start anything, things are against us, because in the past we failed.  But we forget why we failed in the past.  We may not have had intelligence, we may not have had what all is required.  Because you don’t have whatever is required and you failed, it does not mean you are going to fail forever.  Unfortunately, illogical belief of impossibility in your inner-space is “Karma”.  Illogical belief of impossibility!  Please catch it.  This is the Facebook statement today for all of you!  “Illogical belief of impossibility is Karma”!  In your inner-space, illogical belief of impossibility, when it becomes pattern, that is “Karma”.  If you build self-doubt when you grow up, you are like Dhritarashtra. 

Please listen!  Developing self-doubt in the course of growing up is accumulating the Karma, “Agamya” (like Dhritarashtra).  Encouraging the self-hatred with which you happened is “Prarabdha Karma” – like Shakuni.  Coming down to the human body with self-denial is “Sanchita Karma” – like Duryodhana.  Understand?  Self-Denial is given birth by Self-Doubt, and nourished, nurtured by Self-Hatred.  All impossibilities is a combination of these three being held together by Self-Blackmailing – Gandhari.  Gandhari held all the three together – Dhritarashtra, Shakuni and Durodhana – because she is blood-relative of all three.  She is the head of the family of all three.  The self-blackmaling pattern – Gandhari – keeps Dhritarashtra, Shakuni and Duryodhana together.  If Gandhari was not there, at least Shakuni would not have stayed with Duryodhana, Dhritarashtra would not have allowed Shakuni to stay. 

Understand, even in you, the constant self-blackmailing pattern.....  Let me define self-blackmailing pattern: ‘If the same way things go on, then what will happen to my identity?  I will become nobody!  Where will I end my life?  I will have to put my foot down!’  Which forces you to put your foot down!  But, unfortunately, whenever you want to put your foot down, you put it in your mouth!  Putting the foot down is what I call “self-blackmailing pattern”.  You always think, ‘No, if I don’t put my foot down, it will go in a different direction, it will go in a different way.  What will happen to my identity?’  Constantly, everywhere you think, ‘I will have to live in the same way.’  Understand, nothing, nothing needs to be lived in the same way.  You don’t need to worry.

Self-Doubt, Self-Hatred, Self-Denial, held together by Self-Blackmailing pattern, leads to destruction.  Only in the pure, beautiful Advaithic space, you will even understand, look beyond the self-blackmailing pattern with which you are suffering.  Self-blackmailing does not need to be your lifestyle.  Self-blackmailing does not need to be the way you are approaching, cognizing your life.

I will give the essence of today’s satsangh in Hindi.

The medicine for the great wound of Self-Doubt, Self-Hatred, Self-Denial, Self-Blackmailing is Master’s love!

With this, I will move to the Kalpataru process.

Please, all the participants who came for Kalpataru in Haridwar and in St. Louis-Tirumala, pick up a paper and pen.  Pen down one thought you want to cause as reality, and all the incompletions, impossibilities, doubts you have towards causing that thought as reality.  Pen down these two.

All the Inner Awakening participants, you can go for your Yoga session; then you have one hour time. Today I wanted you guys to try causing Inner Awakening for at least two or three people.  Try and come back.  This is your homework.  Then I will lead you to the next process.  Try and come back.

(After a few minutes.....................)

Yes....now please sit straight.  Complete with all the self-doubts, impossibilities, incompletions you carry, and drop them.  Create a space for what you want to cause as reality.  Visualize, hold on to what you want to cause as reality.  Namah Shivaya!  

KALPATARU MEDITATION IN PROGRESS.....................

I bless you all!  The space you created, let it become reality!  The thought you created, let it become reality!

We will start the Kalpataru Darshan.

Ma Muktha, Los Angeles!  Blessings for Meena’s birthday!  Meena, with all the auspiciousness, you will be with me, I will be with you!  Blessings!  Birthday blessings! 

We will start the darshan for Haridwar.  Then we will move to St. Louis.

I bless you all!  Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, Enriching and Causing the eternal bliss, Nithyananda!  Thank you!
