Q: Should we focus on ourselves while doing action, or merge completely in the action? Which one leads to meditation?

First thing, you cannot completely merge yourself in action, or inaction. Your body is made of sattva, rajas and tamas, in similar proportions. Sattva is peace, silence, intelligent energy. Rajas is restless, very aggressive energy. Tamas is feeling lethargy, very sleepy and low on energy. Sattva, rajas and tamas are each 33% in us. After the 33% lethargy is exhausted, you will not be able to be in inaction.

People come and ask me, if I start meditating will I just leave my job and just rest? No, you cannot! I tell them, if you have that fear, just take a vacation, lie down for ten days, you will understand. On the eleventh day you will run for your job.

There is no need to completely merge in inaction either. I can tell you, you don't need to bother about action nor do you need to bother about inaction; all you need to bother about is psychological revolution. What goes on inside of you the whole day is what you need to attend to. You need to put your awareness only on that.

Even though you think you do your actions in the waking state, 80% of your actions are done by the dream state overtaking the waking state. Instead of that, let the 80% of your actions be done by the turiya state overtaking the waking state. That's all you need. There is nothing else.

These are the questions which happen even before you enter. These are hypothetical questions.

Somebody came and asked me, if everybody became a swami how will the world run?

I asked him, if everybody dies how will the world run? He said, 'No, everybody won't die.'

I said, 'In the same way, everybody won't become a swami! That's all.'

Hypothetical questions cannot be answered.

I told him, 'Do not bother. God is not depending on you to run the world! He is not depending on you to create and maintain the world.'

Q: Can we really experience the blissful state after learning?

He is asking: Can we really experience the blissful state after learning these meditation techniques? What do you think I am sitting and doing here!

The person who creates a formula to reproduce experiences of the outer world is a scientist; the person who creates a formula to reproduce the experiences of the inner world is a mystic. These methods, the techniques which you are going to learn these three days are time-tested, foolproof, created after great research and development by thousands of masters after thousands of years of research and development, and verified and experienced in my own personal life.

So, rest assured... be intense; that's all I am asking of you. That's all you need to do, nothing else. Just be intense, you will see, you will experience what has happened in my very inner space happen in your inner space also.
