EXPERIENTIAL VERSUS EXPONENTIAL LOGIC
Keeping the possibility alive is what I call 'being a seeker.'
I am defining who is seeker. Whoever moves in his life with the cognition of experiential logic, and keeps the possibility open and alive in his beliefs about himself and life, is a seeker. Keep your possibility alive. Only then you are a seeker. I am neither a guru who makes you seek for years and years nor the guru who promises everything quicker.
Life simply flowers when you keep the possibility alive. Move with experiential logic, not exponential logic.
The logic of experience is called 'Experiential Logic.' The logic of calculation, multiplying, subtracting, adding, and deleting is called 'Exponential Logic.'
By understanding these two logics you will understand how you are missing some of the greatest experiences of life by getting caught in a blind logic. It is like, instead of wearing sun glasses, you are wearing no glass, just two black stones fixed in a frame!
If you get two black stones fixed in a frame and wear it and think it is sun glasses, and say that whole world has become dark, who is responsible? So, if you are using exponential logic for experiential matters and go on claiming, 'experience is not happening!', who is responsible?
Sometimes, you stick to exponential logic and miss Shiva standing and pointing experiential logic to you. Shiva, again and again, comes to you as Guru and points out experiential logic, and you go on hold on to exponential logic and argue with him!
Because your logic has helped you in many places in your life, don't think it can be a help forever.
Because a boat helped you to cross the river which is really dangerous, do not think the boat can help you ever for travelling in your life.
In your life, so many times, you are playing with exponential logic, instead of looking at experiential logic. One of the unfortunate thing is that whenever you have pain and suffering, you will always feel your whole life is going to be like that. Because, with pain and suffering, the exponential logic works more. It gets more strengthened. With joy, experiential logic gets more strengthened.
I want you to look in and do an acid wash of your belief systems, whatever belief system you carry about you. For example, at four o'clock in the morning you will be tired, sleepy, and not feel like waking up and doing yoga. If it was your experience for one day, you will make that into exponential and start believing it forever!
'Morning four o'clock I cannot do anything. By morning four o'clock I will be tired and no yoga.' In the same way for Satsangh, 'I don't understand much, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM speaks in English and that also in some level of English.' One day if you make that as experience, you do not just hold on, 'today I don't understand, may be in next few days I may understand.' You don't keep that opening left for life to happen. You burn the whole land with exponential logic. So the possibility never grows.
A burnt land, unless it is ploughed again, no seed will grow. 'Burnt land' means, literally the land has become like brick. On brick no seed can grow, unless it is ploughed again, and it becomes loose, or it rains.
When you burn your future with your exponential logic, the possibility seed never grows, the enlightenment fruit never happens. Yes, no doubt, till yesterday you did not experience Shiva.
Yes, no doubt, till today, when Shiva gave the initiation, it went in one ear and came out through the other. But, you don't have to make that experience into exponential logic saying, 'oh, forever it is going to be like this only. So nothing can be done.' Just giving up.
Measuring your life with exponential logic is what I call 'illusion.'
Because, I did not experience Shiva yesterday, tomorrow also I may not, is 'illusion'. Yesterday does not make tomorrow. Whoever believes yesterday makes tomorrow is not living. Whoever makes today, whoever understands today makes tomorrow, only they are alive.
Let experiential logic be alive in you more and more for your cognition and running your life, not exponential logic.
With experiential logic, you will always remember the possibility. You give the space for more and more possibility. Till yesterday it did not grow does not mean tomorrow it will not grow. Realizing Shiva can happen even today, even tomorrow, even in the next moment.
