You don't need Enlightenment, you need enlightened body language. You need Guru's body language.🔗

Understand what I am saying.

You already have Enlightenment, you don't need It. Inside, the pure Consciousness is there, you can't create that. But the walls, the layers they all are covering the original light inside. So now, those layers should become like a glass house. Instead of wall it should become glass. See in me, Consciousness is same, I have seven layer glasses around me. You also have seven layer walls around you, but from those walls, that light is not radiating. Because I have seven layer glass, it is not only radiating, it is just shining. So, all you need to do—change your walls into glass. So, all you need is enlightened body language not Enlightenment itself. Understand, I am breaking one of the important pots.

You don't Enlightenment, you need enlightened body language. Are you understanding the key difference, the key shift? All you need is see how the Enlightened Master, the Guru lives and live the same way, that's all.

That is why the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (Hindu scripture on glory of Incarnations) says—Līla Dhyāna is the ultimate than any Nirvikalpa Dhyāna. If you need Enlightenment, you need to unclutch and be in Nirvikalpa state. But you don't need Enlightenment. You actually need an enlightened body language. Then all you need to do is—not to unclutch and try to achieve that pure inner-space. All you need is meditate on the person radiating Enlightenment and do the same thing in you.

Here Mahādeva says, 'gurumūrtiṁ smaren-nityaṁ—always remember the Gurumūrti, the Guru's form (39); gurordhyānaṁ sadā kuryāt kulastrī svapatiṁ yathā (40)—constantly be soaked in meditating on the Guru's form like how a devoted wife remembers her husband only.'

All you need is meditate on the Guru who is radiating Enlightenment, who is radiating Advaita and do the same thing in you.

Understand the importance of Līla Dhyāna, Guru Dhyāna.

Līlā Dhyāna means seeing the place of a Living Master and constantly being soaked in it. Nirvikalpa Dhyāna means continuously unclutching, unclutching, unclutching, unclutching, unclutching and settling into that silence. Now you understand the difference between the two!

Mahādeva beautifully says, 'gurumūrtiṁ smaren-nityaṁ.' Just remembering the Guru's form and acts is meditation! Just remembering His līlā, divine acts, we are led to completion and liberation.

You can continuously unclutch and merge into that silence also, no problem. But I don't know how many years it will take and what will be the side-effect and time. And actually you don't need to; instead meditate on the līlas of the Guru—gurordhyāna. So, naturally when you meditate on līlas of the Master, you don't need to do anything else, automatically that body language will start expressing in you.

In the Nithya Kriya Yoga Program, I got a few letters from devotees who said, 'after a few days we feel like we are talking like you, Swamiji. I feel my face is like you. When I close my eyes, I feel you are Me. And sometimes when I see your photograph, I feel it's my photograph.' So, when this happens, it means that līla dhyāna dvāra—that initiation of līla dhyāna has started happening in you. Understand, if this happens, then you are done. If that same feeling starts staying inside you without your effort, you are done, that's all. I think now you understand what living around the Master does inside you.

Shelter Under The Guru, Renounce everything

Understand, Catching the Master, Missing the Master and Abusing the Master

Catching the Master is catching that fire and having that strong vitarka—feeling connection, catching that Living Enlightenment fire and start Living Advaita. So, catching the Master.

Missing the Master is being unable to catch that fire but understanding that Master is of compassion and only I am not able to catch it, is Missing the Master. Abusing the Master is—no, he is not giving.

Understand, the three major things. See, catching the Master means you understand—straight away relating, having feeling connection, having completion with the Master and experiencing, catching the fire and start living it, start Living Enlightenment*, jīvan mukti*—is catching the Master.

Missing the Master means understanding that you are responsible and you have to catch it; trying to alter inside you, is Missing the Master.

Abusing the Master means trying to alter the Master, trying to correct Him, trying to judge Him. See first thing, if you catch the Master, that is the ultimate, best. Even if you miss the Master, don't worry, you will come back again. But never ever do that abusing the Master. Gone, once for all.

Understand, it is like in the movie cine field, if you produced a movie and did not pay the artist, they will complain and your file will be closed, you will not be able to do any further movies. This file will be there if you try to do any movie. No artists will come for acting in your movie. In the same way, if you abuse the Master once, please understand I am not threatening you or anything; consciously it gets recorded into your system. To anybody your file goes, they will say wait.

There is a story in Tenalirama.

A king saw the whole country is filled with rats. So he ordered that all the houses should have one cat and gave one cat to each citizen. But all of them, complained of not having money to buy milk to maintain the cat. Then, the King donated one cow to all the houses; one cow for milk and one cat to take care of the rats.

After one month, somebody came and complained to the King, 'many guys are just taking the milk from the cow and drinking it, and not taking care of the cat you gave. So we should get all the cats and audit whether the cats are healthy. So let us get all the cats back.'

The moment the King ordered to the cat's health audit, all the guys did something or other and brought their cats and almost all the cats were looking healthy except this Tenalirama's cat. That cat was almost dying; only one layer skin was around its bones.

The King asked him, 'What happened to your cat?'

Tenalirama said, 'I don know. This cat is not drinking the milk at all" King said, 'How will a cat not drink milk? I am surprised.'

Tenalirama exclaimed, 'if you want keep the milk and see!'

The King ordered a cup of milk and the moment the cat saw the milk, it just ran away, it just disappeared. King was surprised but he knows this Tenalirama is a smart cunning person.

So, after a while the King calls Tenalirama separately and asks, 'Tell me, there must be some secret. I just want to understand the secret. I will not punish you.'

Then, Tenalirama says, 'First time when I gave milk to the cat, I kept hot, boiling milk. The first experience was such a strong saṁskāra (pattern), it got recorded into the cat.'

Understand just like the cat, if it gets disturbed, the wrong saṁskāra (thought pattern) gets printed in it. For its whole life, wherever this cat sees any milk and not just milk any other white object, it will disappear from the field. Same way, if you burn the tongue by abusing the Master, it gets recorded by judging or abusing.

I tell you, even if you don't meet the Master it is perfect. It is like being unmarried, you are open, available. No problem. But if you create the saṁskāra (pattern) of bitter divorce, then naturally, if you had a bitter divorce, next person will take more time to decide whether to live with you. The person is going to wait, think, look, take little more time. It is the same thing, understand.

One more thing. Listen. That is the reason, whenever people come to me from different Masters I tell them, 'never abuse them. Stop complaining about them. Don't compare me with them. Don't judge. They added something to you, that is why you came to this level. If I add something to you, you may raise to the next level.

If I am able to lead you to the ultimate, I am your Sadguru. At some point you feel that somebody else can add something more to you, then I am not your Satguru, but at least I have led you to that person. I have evolved you to that level.

So, be very clear, never abuse. Even if you suspect somebody is enlightened, don't abuse. Don't abuse. Don't judge. If you abuse, the file gets completely marked, not by somebody else, by yourself. You will carry that mental set-up, that root-pattern whenever you go to any Master, not only in this janma (birth) but any janma, your file will always be kept in pending, always kept in pending.

Catching the Master is the ultimate. If you can't catch the Living Guru at least miss its okay, nothing wrong in it. When you find time come back. I will wait for you. Perfectly all right. But never ever do the mistake of abusing. Abusing is the worst thing. Try to catch, that's the first.

So the first thing, either you should catch or you should miss, but never abuse. The third option should not be an option at all. It is like an elephant goes to take bath. If he takes bath and comes back, its Catching the Guru. If he doesn't want to take bath and comes back, it's Missing the Guru. If he takes all the mud and puts it on itself instead of the water and comes back, it is abusing the Guru.

So, understand, Living around, catching and missing the Guru.
