Mangalatva - Everything that happens is auspicious🔗

All guilt is foolishness. Why do we feel guilty? Because we feel we have done something wrong. But, there is nothing called right and wrong. In Existence, the basic law is mangalatva - everything that happens is auspicious.

Understand good or bad cannot be defined, cannot be decided with your logic. Whatever your logic has learnt as good or bad is limited only to the life of you and the people directly around you. But life is not just limited to you and the people who are around you.

If you look little deep, life is beyond your logical comprehension, your logical understanding.

In Sanskrit we have a word Shivam. That word means auspiciousness but the activity of Shiva is destruction. In the Vedic tradition, the word Shiva has the dictionary meaning of auspiciousness – Causeless auspiciousness, energy; that is the exact translation of the word Shiva but his activity is destroying.

In Sanskrit we have beautiful word for destruction; actually it is not destroying, it is creating space for new things to happen. Understand, you can see destruction as destruction or creating space for new things to happen. If you see the destruction from the other dimension, it is like creating space for new things to happen.

If you look at the same destruction, the destruction energy from the other angle, the possibility for rejuvenation keeps the whole thing alive.

Understand: if you look with your logic, with a small vision, you can always complain, blame that whatever is happening cannot be called auspicious. If your vision expands, if you start looking at life with a bigger picture, from bigger perspective, from the greater understanding, you will realize the truth: whatever is happening is auspicious.

Anybody who feels the whole life is auspicious, mangala, is enlightened, liberated. He doesn't have fear. He doesn't have difficulties. He doesn't have problems. He doesn't need any help. That very understanding, whatever happens is auspicious is enough.

There are only two kinds of people on the planet earth. One is the spiritual people who feel whatever is happening is auspicious and nothing needs to be added. The other kind is the materialistic type who feel in whatever is happening something is less and we need to do something.

A small story:

A preacher gave a long and very inspiring talk about charity. Then, he sent his hat for collection. The hat went around all over the group, came back as empty as it was sent. After two hours of talk, the hat came back as empty as it was sent.

The preacher simply took his hat back and said, 'Thank God, my hat came back.' Understand: you can make anything auspicious. When you are really in tune, you will understand whatever is happening is auspicious. The best thing possible is happening. If you trust your logic, you will always be complaining. If you trust the cosmic intelligence, the cosmic logic, you will be always relaxing and appreciating.

You can feel the cosmos as order or as chaos. It is your freedom, your choice. You can feel it as a beautiful order. Just see there is no traffic signal in the cosmos. All the planets are moving so beautifully. You can also say, 'There is so much chaos, so much of fighting in every home, so much of trouble in every house.' You can look at this angle or that angle. It is your freedom.

Whatever is happening is auspicious. In all our life at least once or twice we must have experienced this. Just look back at the moment where you took a major positive decision. In those moments you would have had confidence, courage. At some point you would have surrendered either out of joy or high energy or the decision that nothing better, nothing greater can happen to your life. When you experience that kind of moment in your life, you start thinking whatever is happening is auspicious.

All your fear, all your greed, all your guilt, all these things are just because your energy is taken away by the past memory. Your inner space is occupied by too many high resolution pictures. These high resolution pictures are again and again popping up in your inner space. That is why you are not able to completely relate with the present moment, with the pure consciousness, with the pure energy, with the pure being, in the present moment, in this present experience, with this present truth. Anybody whose inner space is not filled with too many emotional attachments like high resolution pictures will be able to feel connected to anything.

So, understand these few Truths about life and carry these understandings with you: Guilt is baseless. Live out of your understandings of life, not based on rules. Everything happening in life is auspicious. Existence wants you to be your true self every moment, which is eternal, pure bliss - Nithya Ananda.

Meditation Instructions

Reliving is relieving. Relive your guilt. Write down. Relive and relieve. Do not console yourself. Husband and wife, relatives etc please sit separately. Sit in a meditative mood. All wounds that you are carrying relive them. Close your eyes and enter into the guilt, relive them one by one. Relieve them by writing them out.

Let me explain the meditation technique very clearly. First slowly, slowly, consciously, feel that your head is being pressed inside your heart. Then clearly visualize that your head has been totally pressed, your head is in the heart region. Visualize you look through the heart, you are seeing through the heart. You are seeing through the heart and you are breathing through the heart, you are relating through this world through the heart.

Feel that the heart is totally pressed. The head is not there, it is no more just empty space above the neck. Above the neck, it is just empty space. Just trust. Till all of you lose your head you have to go on with the mediation.

First you will lose the head, and you will sit in the sitting posture. Then you will know how to breathe without head. See without the head, how to smell without the head. These are all very simple actions. Then you should learn how to move your hands without head, how to move your body without your head.

Finally you will end up with a peak movement, maybe running or dancing, all your movements will be done without the idea or without the remembrance of the head.

Now, we will start with the meditation.

Sit, tie the headbands. You will need a little space for movement. Take slow deep breaths, just for a few minutes. Feel your head is being pressed into your heart, into the chest region. Totally become headless, you have no head.

Feel that you are breathing from heart. Feel that you are seeing through heart. Feel you are seeing through the heart, you are smelling through the heart. Feel very clearly you are breathing through the heart. Smell through the heart. Listen through the heart, listen to this music through the heart, not through the head. Listen through the heart, see through the heart, feel through the heart.

Stand up. Have the consciousness from the heart, let your movements be as slow as possible. Remember that you are moving from the heart. Your centre is from the heart, not from the head. Again and again, forget the head. Move from the heart. Move as slowly as possible, but from the heart. Move from the heart. Remember you are a headless being. Move only from the heart , you are a headless being. Just moving without head. Move from the heart.

Stand in one place, there is no need to walk, just increase the speed slowly, slowly. Move from the heart. Not from the head, forget your head. You are a headless being moving. Stop. Sit down where you are. Just be, without head. Sit only with your heart. Relax.
