What is the difference between the Guru and you?🔗

See, the difference between you and me is not enlightenment; because you also carry that!

See, you have seven bodies or layers; I also have seven bodies or layers. The last two layers - the cosmic layer and the nirvanic layer are one and the same for you and me even now. Please understand, even now the cosmic layer and nirvanic layers are the same for you and same for me. There is no difference in that. The other five physical layers are where the difference starts. So all you need is the body language of enlightenment, not enlightenment itself.

Please understand, I think all of you catch what I am saying. See this first two layers, this nirvanic body and cosmic body, in these two layers both of us are the same. Only these layers, these outside layers, like physical, mental; physical, pranic, mental, subtle, these outside layers, only in these layers we differ.

What does this mean? You don't need enlightenment, you need enlightened body language. Do you understand what I am saying? You already have enlightenment. You don't need it. Pure consciousness is already inside , you can't create that; but the walls, the layers, are blocking the original light inside.

So now those layers should become like a glass house; instead of wall it should become glass. See, in me the consciousness is same. I have seven layers of glass around me,you have seven layers of wall around you; that's all. Because of these walls, that light is not radiating. Because I have seven layers of glass, it is not only radiating, it is just shining. So all you need to do is, change your walls into glass.

So all you need is enlightened body language not enlightenment itself. Understand, I am breaking one of the important pots! You don't need enlightenment; you need enlightened body language. All you need is to see how an enlightened Master lives, and live the same way; that's all.

Leela Dhyana - Catching the enlightened body language

The Srimad Bhagavatam says that leela dhyana is the ultimate meditation, even compared to any nirvikalpa dhyana. If you need enlightenment, you need to unclutch and be in nirvikalpa state. But you don't need enlightenment. You actually need enlightened body language. So what you need to do is not unclutch and try to achieve that pure inner space, but meditate on the person who is radiating enlightenment and do the same thing in you.

Understand the importance of the leela dhyana. Leela dhyana means seeing the plays of a living Master and constantly being soaked in it. Nirvikalpa dhyana means continuously unclutching and settling into that silence. Now you understand the difference between the two? You can continuously unclutch and merge into that silence also, that's no problem. But I don't know how many years it will take, how long it will take and what side effect and time.

Actually you don't need to, you don't need to. Instead, by meditating on the leelas of the Master you don't need to do anything else. Automatically that body language will start expressing in you.

During the NSP program, I got letters from devotees telling me that 'after two or three days I feel I am talking like you Swamiji. I feel my face is like you! When I close my eyes I feel you are me and sometimes when I see your photograph I feel it is my photograph'

So that hole started happening in you means leela dhyana dwaara. That initiation of leela dhyana started happening in you. Understand if this happens then you are done. If that same feeling starts staying inside you without your effort you are done; that's all. I think now you understand living around the Master what it does inside you, what it does inside you.

Don't be a Guru widow

Who is a 'Guru widow'?

Suppose you have been a follower of a Guru, and that Guru has left the body.

When he was in the body, what did he really want? He wanted you to grow continuously. So if you don't catch a living Master, only then you are disloyal to a Master who is no more in the body. I don't think any Guru wants his disciples to be a widow or widower. Your Guru who loves you, does not want you to be a Guru widow or Guru widower.

I tell you, no Guru expects his disciples to be a widow or widower. You need to understand - discipleship is for you to grow. That is what Guru expects, and you also expect! This is the official agreement between Guru and disciple. So only if you DON'T take up living with a living Master, you are disloyal to your Guru, to your very discipleship.

Please understand, the moment you have a Guru and get initiated, the discipleship itself becomes an independent intelligence. So now the discipleship needs to be kept alive. It can happen only if you go to a living Master.

When a Master is in the body, the whole organization is missionary. It is alive; it has a mission, it has a purpose. Once he leaves the body, it is just machinery! Be part of a mission, not a machine. You are not a nut or bolt or gear– a dead Master's machinery. Be a liver, intestine, heart and brain - means, part of a living Master's sangha.

See, when I am in the body, all of you are my liver, intestine, brain, heart, head - sometimes headache! Even if you are headache, you are part of a living organism. Being a part of living Master's

organism, a living Master's mission is the best way to live.

Unfortunately, human beings need someone in the human body to tell what needs to be told. And even when I am sitting in this human body, screaming in such a loud voice, people do not listen! Then how do you expect that you will continue to grow when your Master is no longer in the body?

So when your Master leaves his body, the first thing you need to do is pray to him to guide you to a living Master. You will see how beautifully he guides you, through a dream or vision, in some way. And once the living Master happens, the form of the old Master disappears even from your visions and dreams, because he is now constantly available, guiding you, through this living Master.
