Advaita - the most powerful solution🔗

Bhagavan Krishna says very clearly in Bhagavad Gita, 'All life forms are part of your own self. That is the ultimate truth.' It is a very subtle subject. Please listen intensely. All life forms are part of you – this is the truth. But because of moham, again & again you lose the experience of the ultimate truth; you forget this truth again and again. Moham means, the confusion, the delusion that destroys the self.

Moham takes away this truth that all life forms are part of you. This is the truth of Advaita! Do not miss this truth!

Please understand, if you take a handful of clay and understand it thoroughly, then you will know all the clay on planet Earth – because clay is clay is clay. The clay in your hand is not different from the clay anywhere else on the planet.

Same way, you are Life. Then all life forms on planet Earth are the same as you! The life in your body is not different from any other life in any other body.

You may feel that you are almost understanding this, but not..!

Actually, you do accept many times that all life forms are part of you, and you are part of all life forms. Some of you may have even experienced a glimpse of this. But the problem is, you don't make your life's

critical decisions based on this truth. When you need to make serious decisions in your life, this truth is forgotten. Why? Because the cognizance you take of the problem becomes more powerful than the ultimate solution you carry in your inner space!

All of you have thousands of ultimate solutions – love, compassion, joy, Advaita. But when a problem comes, when you need to take cognizance of some issue, when you are expected to make decisions, the problem looks more powerful to you than the ultimate solution, the spiritual truth you already carry inside you. The moment you encounter a problem, there is nothing but confusion inside you, and all your ultimate truths are forgotten.

Just be aware at the moment of crisis, just drop the confusion that rises up inside you, and you can have a spiritual solution for even the day-to-day problems in your life. Advaita is the most powerful spiritual solution you can give yourself.

Don't be a Guru widow

Who is a 'Guru widow'?

Suppose you have been a follower of a Guru, and that Guru has left the body.

When you meet another living Master, you want to learn from him, but you go through the guilt or 'guru conflict', because you feel that you may be betraying your guru by following another Master. So you remain as a 'Guru widow' or 'Guru widower', missing the presence on the living Master in your life.

Understand: when your guru was in the body, what did he really want? He wanted you to grow continuously. So only if you don't catch a living Master, you are disloyal to your Master who is no more in the body. I don't think any Guru wants his

Disciples to be a widow or widower. Do not be a Guru widow or Guru widower. Your Guru who loves you, does not want you to be a Guru widow or Guru widower.

You need to understand - discipleship is for you to grow. That is what Guru expects, and you also expect! This is the official agreement between Guru and disciple. So only if you don't take up living with a living Master, you are disloyal to your Guru, to your very discipleship.

Please understand, the moment you have a Guru and get initiated, the discipleship itself becomes an independent intelligence. So now the discipleship needs to be kept alive. It can happen only if you go to a living Master.

When a Master is in the body, the whole organization is mission-ary. It is alive; it has a mission, it has a purpose. Once he leaves the body, it is just machinery! Be part of a mission, not a machine. You are not a nut or bolt or gear – a dead Master's machinery. Be a liver, intestine, heart and brain - means, part of a living Master's sangha.

See, when I am in the body, all of you are my liver, intestine, brain, heart, head - sometimes headache! Even if you are headache, you are part of a living organism. Being a part of living Master's organism, a living Master's mission is the best way to live.

Unfortunately, human beings need someone in the human body to tell what needs to be told. And even when I am sitting in this human body, screaming in such a loud voice, people do not listen! Then how do you expect that you will continue to grow when your Master is no longer in the body?

So when your Master leaves his body, the first thing you need to do is pray to him to guide you to a living Master. You will see how beautifully he guides you, through a dream or vision, in some way. And once the living Master happens, the form of the old Master disappears even from your visions and dreams, because he is now constantly available, guiding you, through this living Master.

I just need your openness

May 3, 2012

Question: Swamiji, once we finish Inner Awakening and go out into society, do we need to internalize your teachings regularly? I don't remember all of them, can you please guide me what to do so that I can live enlightened life.

There is no need for you to specially internalize my teachings, because these higher teachings have been made a part of your bio-memory through this process. Inner Awakening is not a teaching program. It is a process program, where these great teachings are inserted into your bio-memory, beyond your mind, without even you doing anything. There is no need for your cooperation and effort. Just your openness is enough. Not only there need not be any effort, I don't even need your cooperation, I just need your openness. Just your YES is enough for me to work on you.

So you don't need to do anything special to internalize my teachings. I recommend even this morning satsang more like an Upanishad, as a sitting with me*. Sit in morning satsang* every day, wherever you are, in an unclutched way. Connect and sit. Nothing else.

Never miss the morning satsang. Keep this as the law for your life. Make this as a life. Not even to hear what I am saying; more to sit in unclutched way. Just sit unclutched when you sit and listen. So many things will be clear to you, that beyond my words, something else is happening, something else is being done. If any word I utter needs to go inside you, it will go inside, otherwise it is ok.

Love-Hate triangle

September 8, 2012

Universal emotions, such as love and hatred, are called saarvabhoumya.

Whomever you think as your enemy, again and again, sit with them and express your opinions about what you carry towards them and vice versa.

One funny thing you will realize, whom you think as an important enemy in your life may not think you are an important enemy in his life!

I have seen love and hatred is always a triangle. If you love someone, that person loves somebody else.

If you hate someone, that person hates someone else. It is never a straight line. It is a law. A is in love with B, B will be in love with C, and C will be in love with A.

Same way with hatred. A may have hatred with B, but B with C, and C may be having enmity with A. Please understand, it is a law.

Another example is, you are in love with somebody and constantly go towards that person. Suddenly, you realize that person is going towards somebody else. You will be disillusioned and all that will turn towards yourself.

Also, in hatred, you hate somebody and suddenly you realize that person is going towards somebody else and hates somebody else. Then you will think, oh God, my whole life I wasted with this fellow. One thing you need to be very clear about: your logic has no capacity to find your enemy. So whoever you think is your enemy, is not your enemy. When you sit with him and open up, you will realize that person has somebody else as his main enemy. This is the way the whole world goes on.

When you love a person and that same person loves you back equally, enlightenment happens through tantra: union. When you hate somebody and the same person hates you equally, what happens is called pralaya. But unfortunately both do not happen on planet Earth at all. It is too rare.

Examples of two persons loving each other the same amount would be: Shiva and Parvati, Sharada and Ramakrishna, Radha and Krishna. It is so rare; not even a handful. And I don't even have one example of two people hating each other equally!

On planet Earth, neither love nor hatred is a straight line. Only when you become nobody, you become the center of millions of people's love, and in the same way, for

millions of people's hatred also. But you neither love them back nor hate them back. You are just a black hole sucking the whole thing, where they disappear.

I tell you, whether by love or by hate, if you come near me, you are gone! When you dissolve into me by love, it is called enlightenment. When you dissolve into me by hatred, it is called pralaya. That's all. But you dissolve into me.

Don't wait for time to heal

September 8, 2012

I want to share a basic secret: as long as you carry a certain identity, you will always feel that society is adharmic towards you.

Your logic is filled with pus. It sees only from your side. If I judge whatever is done to me by the society and see it as adharmic, my logic becomes pus.

Please understand, society is not a group of people. Society is the other person. It is not collective. If you feel somebody as your enemy and cannot tolerate his patterns, please understand that God is giving you the opportunity to diagnose yourself, because you have exactly the same problems!

The very idea of enemy or friend is based on your perception, which itself is unstable.

Do not wait for wounds in others to be healed in course of time. Do not wait for others to heal the pain you are carrying inside you. Be proactive in healing the wounds and pains in others. Same way, be proactive in healing the wounds and pains inside you by dropping them.

If you have a problem, both of you sit together and understand it. Every interaction should create more intimacy and more trust for you in that person, and vice versa. If your every interaction with another creates more trust, you are free from identity. It is not impossible.

Please understand, what you think of as the hurt you caused to others may not be the real hurt. What they think as the hurt, is the real hurt. In the same way, what you think as the hurt others have caused you, may have not have been done consciously. Forgive them.

In the same way, you may not even know of the hurt you caused others. Ask them to forgive you. This is the science of forgiving, the science of gracefully moving ahead.

Standing up even when you feel that life and humanity do not behave dharmically to you is jeevanmukti, living enlightenment.

Poornatva Kriya Process

Poornatva Kriya is restoring completion to the different incomplete parts of you which are sitting in others.

First, make a conscious resolution: I am committing to being complete and causing completion for myself and for life. I am enriching myself to be in completion.

While doing Poornatva Kriya with others, there may be two possibilities. You may have a very strong resistance to some person. The resistance, fear, or hatred is so strong that you cannot even think of facing

that person and talking to him or her.

If that is the case, first sit in front of the mirror and invoke that person's presence in the mirror. See that person sitting in the mirror. Connect with that person by making eye-to-eye contact with him or her in the mirror. Relive incidents that happened between you and that person, and then talk to the person in the mirror until you experience completion.

If you are on talking terms with the person, or you are comfortable with that person and have no major resistance in communicating with that person, talk to that person directly either in person or, if not possible, talk over the phone.

If there is no access to even a phone, then communicate through email. If there is no access to email also, then sit with the mirror and connect with that person in the mirror and do the completion process.
