Q: If I lose my identity, who is it that my wife is going to be relating to?🔗

A: Be very clear, your wife will be relating with you only, don't worry. And don't bother about that. Your wife will be relating with you only, but you will be a real you. You will be much more sweet person; much sweeter person to relate with.

As of now if I ask her, she will tell me how horrible you are. When you are not around, if I ask her, she will tell me how horrible you are, at least if you are unclutched she will be able to relate with you properly.

Let you understand this one truth. Tonight, the whole night, just be unclutched; remember all your dreams are also nothing but shafts. All your deep sleep states also nothing but shafts. Tomorrow, the first moment when you wake up, remember you are unclutched and come back to the morning session.

I can give you a simple technique; if you just jump for 10 minutes you won't feel tired tomorrow morning. To go like this and sleep you won't feel tired tomorrow morning. Just jump for ten minutes. You will be alive, fresh, go back and lie down. You will feel the same freshness tomorrow morning when you get up from the bed. You can now take 10 minutes to jump.

DSP: Mental layer or Manonmaya Kosha Meditation

Now we will work on the same truth again at a deeper level. See, every time it is a complaint from many people even if it is the truth. Too many things are taught and people don't remember to practice. Or people don't make everything into an experience.

So I decided that this time instead of putting out so much information I will just give one truth. I shall give you just one truth that you will not be able to forget even in your dreams. How many of you remembered that the moment you got up from the bed that you are unclutched? Oh God!

This one truth can heal you so much, mentally and physically. This one truth can bring so much of inner healing, this one truth can expand you so much to accommodate others in your personality or in your space, this one truth can expand you so much on the spiritual level. I can say this one truth can be called as a panacea, the medicine for everything. This heals all problems, whether physical problem or mental problem like addiction, guilt, depression, loneliness, boredom and all such major issues that are related to your mind and problems of your mind. This one truth is enough.

The important thing of this one truth is that you don't need to practice anything. All you need to do is understand clearly and have a strong understanding. If you can answer all the questions which are raised by your mind, that is enough, nothing else needs to be done. There is nothing to be practiced, all you need to do is just remember; just remember to come back to the original space, the space of being unclutched. Not only at the physical and mental level but also the spiritual level.

This truth straight away liberates you. This is the path and the goal. Usually path and goal are separate. Now here the path and the goal are one and the same. The moment you understand this you are free. Now no mind game can happen in you. Your mind can't play any games with you. The moment you understand this truth you are free. Your mind can't play any more games with you.

I tell you this, once you understand this truth, you can't be exploited by any priest or anybody. Now I am putting all these so called religious people out of business. Because after you understand this what will you do? You don't need any technique. You don't need any thing else. You won't go for any meditation program. And in the West, this will put of business people who teach the self development course and all these things. You won't go for any self development course.

See, I am putting the people who are selling all these ideas, whether religious or self development courses, all out of business. Now you won't bother about any of these things because you now know your intrinsic nature of your being. You know the core nature of your being and you don't need any of these things. First thing you know that none of these things help you. Second thing you know that whatever help you can have is only from this truth. Nothing else can happen. Only one way you can be helped; that is this truth. So naturally, once you understand this truth, you won't even do meditation.

Actually I am trying to even remove meditation from your life, remove all kinds of conditionings from your life, all kinds of rules and regulations from your life, giving you a totally different center from where you can act; not only act, where you can be. Now either you act or you be. I'm giving you a totally different centre from where you can act and be.

You can be completely settled into your being and at the same time you can be alive and involved with your life. This can transform the very identity which you are carrying. This is the highest vedantic truth. The difficulty with this thing is usually that you don't receive the truth so easily. Usually it takes a long time. They make you sit at least 10 years before they start telling you these basic things of Vedanta.

Especially, these traditional vedantis, oh god! They insist on teaching you so much of theories and concepts and words, this that, so many things. By the time you finish learning you will be filled with so many words; automatically you start preaching the same thing. Because after learning you find that nothing has happened to you, and you can't accept that nothing has happened to you. So, you will have to somehow justify why you spent so much of time in that line.

So what is the only way out? It is to teach others. Whatever time I invested in that field has to be useful for me. That is the way we end up here. This truth is so clear. It is straight. The essence of this is what we call brahma jnana. Making and giving this truth and helping the other person to experience this truth, is what I call brahma jnana; the ultimate initiation or ultimate teaching.

With this teaching all your Vedanta will fall in place. All your knowledge will fall in place. Without this key technique, without this key truth, whatever you read will be only words. With this one truth now everything will fall in place. You feel everything is reality. Now whatever you read, everything will become experience. There is no need to do something separately. Just this one single understanding is enough.

By your very nature you are unclutched. Your thoughts are completely unconnected, independent and illogical. Not only that, constantly your thoughts are being replaced; you are constantly renouncing. There is no need for you to separately practice renunciation. By your very nature you are renouncing. Renunciation is your very nature. Unless you renounce, you can't be alive. Even if you tried to hold on to something you can't hold on.

See for example, if you try you can't hold on even to some joyful memory, some blissful thing, you cannot; you will be renouncing it by your very nature. If you try to push something that you want to renounce, just because you are pushing you will create more problems. If you just keep quiet automatically you will forget about it.

People who are addicted to something may ask, 'How can I forget about it?' Don't bother, simply relax; forget about dropping that habit, simply that habit will drop. Don't force yourself too much to get rid of addiction. You may think, what is this Swamiji, what are you teaching? With all my effort I'm not able to forget. How do you say that I will forget if you don't put effort? I say you will forget if you don't put effort because by putting your effort you are trying to elongate that shaft. Constantly you teach yourself that you are addicted, you are addicted and you are addicted.

I tell you, first thing, do not bother about renouncing something because by your very nature you renounce. When you try to renounce something forcibly you create more and more connection, more and more lengthy shaft about that product, about that habit, about that thing. You create a chain, a bigger link.

What I am saying may look impractical logically but this is the way mind works. Try your best to drop something, some addiction, you can never be successful. Even if you drop you may be dropping out of some fear or greed, which is a much bigger addiction. If you drop smoking out of some fear or greed, you are not doing anything good to your consciousness; good to your inner space. You are only damaging yourself more.

You might have dropped smoking, but that fear for which you have dropped or that greed for which you dropped will be added on to your inner space. At least with smoking you will destroy only this body; with fear or greed you will destroy your whole being, lives after lives. In the next body too you will be carrying this fear and greed.

Smoking habit you may not carry over to the next body but these samskara of fear and greed you will be carrying with you to the next body. So let you be very clear, even if the addiction is dropped with this truth, you will be liberated. Other that this truth, whatever way you may drop this addiction, you will only damage your inner space. You may be successful or may fail in dropping but you will damage your inner space. You will damage yourself surely. With this one truth, You will experience totally a different being. You will totally experience a different identity.

Start allowing this truth to sink in you. Sit with this truth again and again, whenever you find time. Just sit, now I will drive these things, this truth into your head so much, even when you are sitting and doing something, automatically this truth will be there in your mind. You can't do anything else except remembering that you are unclutched. You are unconnected.

One more thing, even after having the knowledge that you are unclutched you will be able to see and live with the world as you are living now. You don't have to give up and leave everything. One more thing, your fear about giving up is not even directly related to giving up. It is something like you don't feel as if you lived your life fully; that is why you are afraid to give up. All your fear about giving up is not even about giving up.

At some point all of you know you have to leave and go away, nothing can be done. There is no u-haul service for another planet. Let you be very clear, no u-haul service available. You can't carry anything with you. You cant put a hook and drag whatever you want. Nothing can be done. Let you be very clear. So you know at some point or another, you have to leave. It is not even fear of leaving things, fear of dropping, fear of giving up. It is fear that you have not lived.

When you are unclutched, you will start living, you will start intensely really living. Anyway when you allow this truth to work on you, you will understand how the whole quality of your life has transformed.

Now let us do another simple experiment. Read whatever you wrote yesterday, and how irrelevant it feels now, you can see. Try to read with this one understanding that you are unclutched. Yesterday when you wrote how heavy it was; how all what was going on in your mind? And now what is happening in your mind, just see.

Than I'll try to respond to some more questions or experiences. If you work just with the specimen you have, that itself will give you a lot more insights. In this DSP I'm not interested in giving you too many techniques; just to constantly keep you seduced or like how these doctors give you sedatives.

Actually, I read all these American slang notebooks to get some jokes. I've learned a lot of American slang words, but I am very careful to use them. The other day, I asked Gopal the meaning of some American slang word. He was shocked; he asked, 'from where did you learn this word? Never ever say this word to anybody, never ever tell this word to anybody, it is really offensive'.

A small story:

One priest was giving his sermon Sunday morning.

He was saying, 'Oh society has become so bad, the other day I got a DVD from blockbuster, it was full of nonsense, all sorts of perversions , too many nonsensical things, I never thought the society has gone so bad. I don't know what to do?'

A guy in the congregation asked: 'Sir, where did you get that DVD from?

I read all these joke books to get you all these small stories. There all the American slang is there.

Even if you think you understood about you being unclutched, do no think continuously you have understood. Even that thought can become even one more shaft. The understanding that you had yesterday about being unclutched, the understanding that you had today morning, and the understanding that you are having now are not the same. Be very clear, so do not think you understood.

The more you are unclutched even from that, from being unclutched, you will go into the deeper and deeper levels of experience. This one truth can straight away give you enlightenment, nothing more is necessary. So it's like this; this is the space where your consciousness on one side, here is your identity on the other side and between these two only are all your engrams. The moment you start unclutching from your identity you are just sucked towards the source, towards the very core of your being. You will simply drop to your inner space or enlightenment.

That's why I said that just this one thing, just like something dropping, just like that you can just fall into your enlightenment, nothing can stop you. With this truth the important thing is you must sit and continuously question this and get rid of all the doubts. That's why practically these 2 days I am sitting with you. That's why they call it Upanishad, which means sitting with the master. Sitting, sitting, sitting, and dropping from all the doubts.

I've never spent so much time in any meditation program continuously. Yesterday if you see the number of hours, I don't spend this many hours in the first two levels of LBP. Moreover when I make you close your eyes, I go away sometimes. I'm telling you the truth. After I tell you to tie the headbands I go to my room and come back after half an hour, and tell you please open your eyes. Here I can't do that also.

Here I am trying to give you that inner space without closing your eyes, because you can live the whole day with closing your eyes. You are going to live with open eyes only. Unless you experience the consciousness with open eyes, it's not going to help you. So I am trying to give you that space of thoughtless awareness or dhyana, with open eyes.

Now let's enter into the manonmaya kosha, little deeper level, the next level. Now you will straight away unclutch form the words. You will neither bother about the body nor bother about prana. You will straight away work on the thoughts. Please sit straight, close your eyes.

Just be unclutched. If thoughts come, let them come, if they drop let them drop. Don't even bother about unclutching; if it gets clutched let it get clutched. If it gets unclutched, let it get unclutched. Don't even bother about getting clutched or getting unclutched. Just sit, just be. Don't even bother to unclutch yourself, if it is getting clutched let it get clutched, if it gets unclutched let it be unclutched.

Q: I've always been pondering where are thoughts created , where they get dissolved and where is the working of the mind and what we call the no mind state. If I do not know the workings of the mind and where the thoughts go, it will be difficult for me to unclutch , I will be walking on thin ice.

A: One thing, from where thoughts come, where they stay and where they disappear, that space is what I call as of now as mind. When you are enlightened you will understand that you are not only that space. As of now if you have 5 acre land all the 5 acres is mind. Suddenly you will realize you have 5000 acre land and only 5 acres is mind. That's what enlightenment is; you will have expansion. Only the 5 acres you have and all the 5 acres is crowded with thoughts means you will be suffocated as you are now. When you expand to 5000 acres and only the 5 acres is occupied you won't feel suffocated, nothing else.

Q: I attended the life bliss program and there we were told to do the heart chakra meditation everyday and the third eye chakra we were told to do often.

A: If you have a particular problem and you want to do that particular meditation you are free ma. Now, if you understand this one truth, do you really feel that your whole being is vibrating with this truth? Are you able to understand what I am saying about being unclutched? If you feel you are completely filled with this truth, that's enough. Remember and just sit being unclutched. That's enough. If you are not able to trust this truth, still you have some doubt, go through the meditation. If you are able to connect with this truth you don't need meditation.
