Inner Healing through the Truth
Many times people ask me, 'Just by giving a few hours of discourse, how did you heal, Swamiji? How did it happen in me? Just 2 to 3 days I sat with you and listened to whatever you said. Suddenly I feel my system is healed. My health is much better.'
I tell them: It is not simple listening. They are not ordinary words. You will see when these Truths are added into you, you will completely rethink. You will redesign your whole life. What you think as desires, what you think as fear, what you think as worry, what you think as depression, all these things will suddenly have new clarity. All these things will suddenly disappear. When the load is taken out of your inner space, there is nothing else but healing. Healing is the only thing that can happen to you.
The physical body is the first layer. The movement of prana is the second layer. The inner chattering is the third layer. Emotions form the fourth layer. The silence you experience during deep sleep is the fifth layer. In deep meditation, the joy and the intense vibrant silence that you experience is the sixth layer. Enlightenment is the seventh layer.
In the deep sleep state, it will be the graveyard silence, a negative silence. In meditation it will be intense silence. There is a big difference. When you fall asleep and come back, you will not become more intelligent. But when you fall into meditation and come back, you will be more intelligent and more blissful. When you fall asleep and come back, you may be fresh or more relaxed. But you will not be more blissful. But when you fall into meditation and come back, that silence is called intense silence, a live, vibrant silence.

Samskaras in the Seven Layers of the Body
We store different samskaras in each of the seven different layers.
The samskaras related to chronic fatigue or tiredness are stored in the physical body. That is why when you try to do some exercise, a workout, or even simple walking, the first thing the body will bring out is tiredness. But without bothering about these first level samskaras which are rising, if you continue to enter into it, suddenly you will see that the same action brings energy out of you. If you start walking, in few minutes, your mind will suggest ten times, 'I am tired. No...It is too much! We did enough! That is enough for today. Tomorrow we can do.' But if you don't bother about these samskaras and just go ahead, in a few minutes, the same action will bring energy.
