HAVE YOU KNOW ABOUT ANIMALS SUFFERING ?

                      WHY HUMAN BEINGS SUFFER

                         MORE THAN ANIMALS? 

                                                                     💫 

                          YOUR MIND IS NOT A SOLID STATE, YOUR MIND IS A FLUID. YOU CAN MAKE IT TAKE ON ANY SHAPE.

                                                                             ❤❤❤

                  WHY DO HUMAN BEINGS SUFFER MORE THAN ANIMALS?

                                                                         👀👀

                    👉👀❤

                         ANS : YOUR CONCERN IS ONLY ABOUT HUMAN SUFFERING AND HUMAN WELLBEING, SO YOU NOTICE ONLY THAT. YOU DO NOT NOTICE THE SUFFERING THAT ANIMALS ARE GOING THROUGH. PEOPLE THINK IT IS ONLY THEY WHO ARE SUFFERING, BUT THE WAY HUMAN BEINGS ARE LIVING, THEY ARE MAKING EVERYTHING IN THE EXISTENCE SUFFER. EVERY DAY AS YOU WALK AROUND, YOU PROBABLY STEP ON A HUDRED ANTS. SOME OF THEM DIE, SOME OF THEM STRUGGLE - THEY ARE SUFFERING, BUT YOU DO NOT KNOW THEIR SUFFERING. YOUR SUFFERING IS ONLY THAT YOUR LEGS ARE ACHING FROM HAVING TO WALK AROUND. IT IS ALWAYS A RELATIVE PERCEPTION.

                   YOUR SUFFERING, YOUR ENJOYMENT, AND YOUR WELLBEING ARE ALWAYS FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE YOUR EXPERIENCE OF LIFE IS THROUGH YOU. THE SEAT OF YOUR EXPERIENCE IS WITHIN YOU, SO YOU SEE EVERYTHING ONLY FROM YOUR CONTEXT. IN THAT CONTEXT YOU ARE SAYING HUMANS SUFFER MORE THAN ANIMALS. IF YOU WERE TO GO AND TALK TO THE ANTS, THEY WOULD HAVE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT YOU AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD. THE ANTS ARE SUFFERING MUCH MORE THAN HUMAN BEINGS ARE BECAUSE THEY ARE MORE IN NUMBER.

                  👉👀❤

                    BUT THE THING IS, ANIMALS ONLY SUFFER PHYSICALLY, IF THINGS GO WRONG. HUMAN BEINGS SUFFER MUCH MORE THAN OTHER CREATURES BECAUSE WE HAVE A DISCRETIONARY INTELLECT. MOST OF A HUMAN BEING'S SUFFERING IS MENTAL, AND MENTAL SUFFERING IS SELF-CREATED. A HUMAN BEING IS AN EXPERT AT CREATING SUFFERING FOR HIMSELF AND FOR OTHERS. THIS IS BECAUSEHE HAS A DISCRETIONARY MIND - HE CAN CHOOSE TO BE ANY WAY HE WANTS RIGHT NOW. HE CAN MAKE HIMSELF JOYFUL OR MAKE HIMSELF MISERABLE. YOU CAN MAKE ANYTHING OUT OF YOUR MIN. THIS CHOICE IS THERE AT EVERY MOMENT.

                   YOUR MIND IS NOT A SOLID STATE, IT IS A FLUID, YOU CAN MAKE IT TAKE ON ANY SHAPE. YOU COULD LOOK AT A TREE AND SAY, "OH! GOD IS LIVING THERE. HOW WONDERFUL! OR YOU COULD LOOK AT THE TREE IN TERROR AND SAY, "MAYBE DEVILS ARE HANGING AROUND THERE". THERE IS NO END TO THE MIND. YOU ARE CAPABLE OF BECOMING ANYTHING AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. UNFORTUNATELY, MOST PEOPLE HAVE LEARNED HOW TO MAKE MISERY OUT OF THEMSELVES. THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

                      👉👀❤

                    AT ANIMAL DOES NOT HAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS. IF YOU HAD COME HERE AS ANY OTHER CREATURE, LIFE WOULD BE VERY SIMPLE FOR YOU. WHEN A TIGER IS BORN, HE DOES NOT SIT AND WORRY, "HOW SHOULD I BECOME A GOOD TIGER? WHICH GOD SHOULD I WORSHIP? WHAT UNIVERSITY SHOULD I GO TO? HE HAS NONE OF THESE PROBLEMS. IF HE JUST FINDS ENOUGH FOOD, HE WILL BECOME A GOOD TIGER? WHAT IF I END UP AS A HOUSECAT? THESE KINDS OF STRUGGLES ARE NOT THERE IS HIM. BUT YOU WERE BORN AS A HUMAN BEING. TO BECOME A GOOD HUMAN BEING, LOOK AT HOW MANY THINGS YOU HAVE TO DO. AND EVEN AFTER DOING ALL THESE THINGS, YOU STILL DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOU BELONG. ONLY IN COMPARISON WITH SOMEONE ELSE CAN YOU SAY, "I AM A BETTER MAN, BUT BY YOURSELF, YOU DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOU STAND.

                   IT IS THIS FREEDOM WHICH IS CAUSING ALL THE PAIN AND STRUGGLE FOR A HUMAN BEING. HUMAN BEINGS ARE NOT SUFFERING THEIR BONDAGE, THEY ARE SUFFERING THEIR FREEDOM, AND THAT IS THE BIGGEST TRAGEDY. IF BONDAGE WAS THE SOURCE OF MISERY, IT IS BAD ENOUGH, BUT WE COULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BREAK THAT ONE BONDAGE THAT IS HOLDING YOU DOWN. BUT IF FREEDOM BECOMES THE SOURCE OF MISERY, WHAT KIND OF SOLUTION CAN WE FIND?

                            👉👀❤

                     THAT WHICH COULD BE A WAY TO BEING UNLIMITED HAS BECOME A WAY TO SUFFERING SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU ARE UNCONSCIOUS. FREEDOM IS ONLY A PROBLEM WHEN YOU ARE UNAWARE. IF YOU WERE AWARE, THE SAME FREEDOM WOULD BE YOUR BENEDICTION. WHY MEDITATION HAS BEEN GIVEN SO MUCH IMPORTANCE IS BECAUSE IT IS ABOUT MAKING YOU AS CONSCIOUS AS POSSIBLE, SO THAT YOU DON'T SUFFER YOUR FREEDOM - YOU MAKE USE OF YOUR FREEDOM TO FLOWER INTO A LARGER DIMENSION OF WHO YOU ARE. EVERY HUMAN BEING IS BORN WITH THE SAME POSSIBILITY, BUT ALL OF THEM DO NOT MAKE THEMSELVES INTO THE SAME THINGS EVEN IF THEY ARE GIVEN THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES - BECAUSE IT IS CONSCIOUS, YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF WHAT YOU WANT - THIS MOMENT YOU CAN MAKE YOUR LIFE INTO HEAVEN, OR YOU CAN MAKE YOUR LIFE INTO HELL. THE CHOICE IS YOURS.

                       THERE IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL STORY. THERE WAS A YOGI WHO WAS OLD AND NEARING THE END OF HIS LIFE. HE WENT ABOUT TELLING EVERYONE THAT HE WAS GOING TO HEAVEN. ALL THE OTHER YOGIS LOOKED AT HIM AND WONDERED, " HOW DOES HE KNOW IS GOING TO HEAVEN? BUT THE .YOGI VERY CONFIDENTLY WENT ABOUT TELLING THIS TO EVERYONE IN TOWN.

                      👉👀❤

                      ONE DAY, ALL OF THEM GATHERED AND ASKED THE YOGI, "HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU WILL GO TO HEAVEN? YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT'S ON GOD'S MIND, WHETHER HE WANTS TO SEND YOU TO HEAVEN OR HELL.

                        THE YOGI SAID, "I DON'T CARE WHAT'S ON GOD'S MIND. I KNOW WHAT'S ON MY MIND. I AM GOING TO HEAVEN AND THAT'S ALL.

                       AND THAT IS ALL IT IS.❤❤

                            👉👀❤

                     "IF YOU ARE GENUINELY HALLUCINATING , IT MEANS YOU ARE MAKING UP THINGS SO POWERFUL IN YOUR MIND THAT IT SEEMS REAL. IF YOU CREATE IT IN YOUR MIND AND EMPOWER IT WITH YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS, IT CAN BECOME A LIVE PROCESS".

THE WAY OF WONDERFUL LIFE (BHAKTI)

 

     

                              THE DEFINITION OF 

                            BHAKTI OR DEVOTION

                                                💫

                   CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE PATH OF BHAKTI OR DEVOTION?

                                                                         👀👀

                            ANS : DEVOTION IS THE QUICKEST WAY TO GET THE ULTIMATE, BUT THE WAY PEOPLE HAVE BECOME TODAY, WITH THE INTELLECT BEING BROUGH FORTH TO THIS LEVEL, YOU CANNOT TO A DEVOTEE. A DEVOTEE HAS NO AGENDAN OF HIS OWN. HIS ONLY OBJECTIVE IS TO DISSOLVE INTO HIS OBJECT OF DEVOTION. LET US SAY HE IS A DEVOTEE OF SHIVA. IT MEANS HE HUST WANTS TO MERGE OR DIE INTO SHIVA. THAT IS ALL HE KNOWS. HE IS NOT THINKING OF LIVING WELL OR BECOMING RICH OR GOING TO HEAVEN. ARE YOU LIKE THAT? NO. FOR YOU, DEVOTION IS A CURRENCY FOR AN EASIER LIFE. LOOK AT THE PRAYERS IN THE WORLD. NINETY-NINE PERCENT OF THEM ARE JUST SAYING, "GIVE ME THIS, GIVE ME THAT, SAVE ME, PROTECT ME, ISN'T IT SO?

                    THIS IS NOT DEVOTION, THIS IS A DEAL, YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE A STUPID DEAL. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BECOME A DEVOTEE, AND ATTAIN TO THE ULTIMATE THROUGH DEVOTION, THEN YOU HAVE NO AGENDA FOR YOURSELF. YOU DO NOT WANT LIFE TO GO YOUR WAY. YOU JUST WANT TO MERGE WITH THE ULTIMATE, THAT IS ALL. IF YOU ARE LIKE THAT, DEVOTION IS THE QUICKEST WAY TO REALISATION. IT IS VERY QUICK.

                  👉❤

                BUT TODAY, WITH ALL YOUR EDUCATION AND THIS QUESTIONING MIND, DEVOTION IS OUT OF THE QUESTION. PLEASE LOOK AT IT. ARE YOU CAPABLE OF BECOMING TRULY DEVOUT TOWARDS SOMEONE? NO. SO DON'T TALK ABOUT IT. I AM NOT SAYING THERE IS NO ELEMENT OF DEVOTION AT ALL IN YOU. THERE IS. IT CAN ONLY TAKE SMALL RIDES ON IT - YOU CAN SIT IN THE TEMPLE FOR TEN MINUTES AND SAY, "SHIVA, SAVE ME". AND YOU GET CONFIDENCE TO GO THROUGH THE NEXT TWENTY-FOUR HOURS . TO THAT EXTENT IT WORKS. BUT IT CANNOT BE YOUR ULTIMATE JOURNEY BECAUSE YOUR INTELLECT IS NOT WILLING TO BEND DOWN TO ANYONE TOTALLY, UNLESS YOU COME TO A CERTAIN LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE WHERE YOU NATURALLY PROGRESS INTO BECOMING A DEVOTEE.

                      👉❤

                    AT THE ASHRAM, HAPPENS THAT PEOPLE COME AS INVESTIGATORS. SLOWLY, THEY BEOCME STUDENTS, THEN THEY BECOME DISCIPLES, THEN THEY BECOME DEVOTEES. THAT IS A NATURAL PROGRESSION OF LIFE. AS THEIR EXPERIENCE BECOMES DEEPER AND DEEPER, THEY HAVE NO OPTION. THEY ARE TOO OVERWHELMED WITH WHAT IS HAPPENING. THEN THEY CANNOT HELP BLOWING DOWN COMPLETELY. JUST BOWING DOWN AND TOUCHING SOMEONE'S FEET IS NOT DEVOTION. YOU ARE BENDING DOWN BECAUSE THERE IS GOING TO BE A BENEFIT. SOMEONE HAS TOLD YOU, IF YOU GET BLESSINGS FROM SOME GURU, THINGS WILL HAPPEN WILL. YOUR BUSINESS WILL WORK WELL OR YOUR CHILDREN WILL HE HEALTHY. SO YOU BEND DOWN. IT IS OKAY, YOU GET THAT ALSO. TO THAT EXTEND DEVOTION WORKS FOR YOU, BUT NOT AS AN ULTIMATE VEHICLE TO TAKE YOU BEYOND.

                       👉❤

                    YOU HAVE TO USE OTHER THINGS THAT YOU HAVE. YOU ARE RIGHT NOW ENJOYING THE CIRCUS OF THE INTELLECT. YOU LIKE IT. SUPPOSE YOU DISCOVER SOMETHING TODAY, YOU GET VERY THRILLED. YOU SPEND YOUR WHOSE LIFETIME JUST UNDER THAT THRILL. WHAT YOU THINK UP IS NOTHING NEW, BECAUSE IT WAS ALWAYS THERE IN NATURE. IF YOU JUST HAD EYES TO SEE, EVERY DAMN THING THAT YOU DISCOVER HAS ALREADY BEEN THERE. WHATEVER GREAT DISCOVERY YOU HAVE MADE, THE VERY EARTH THAT YOU WALK UPON KNOWS IT. IN AMERICA THEY CALL IT DIRT, DIRT KNOWS BETTER THAN YOUR BRAINS. EVERYTHING THAT YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING THAT YOU RE-INVENT, PLANET ALREADY KNOWS.

                       DEVOTION AS AN ULTIMATE VEHICLE WILL NOT WORK IN YOUR PRESENT STATE  OF MIND. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR YOU. YOU ARE TOO COMMITTED TO YOUR BODY AND YOUR INTELLECT. YOU CANNOT DROP THEM ALL OF A SUDDEN AND BECOME A DEVOTEE. DEVOTION AS AN ACT IS VULGAR.

                       👉❤

                     DEVOTION AS A WAY OF LIFE IS WONDERFUL. IF YOU GO THE WAY OF DEVOTION, YOU HAVE TO SEE WHETHER IT IS SOMETHING THAT WORKS FOR YOU. IT DOES NOT WORK BECAUSE YOU ARE A TALKING PERSON. THINKING PEOPLE CANNOT BE DEVOUT.

                    INSTEAD OF THAT, IT IS BETTER YOU DEVELOP A LITTLE REVERENCE FOR LIFE AROUND YOU. WHEN YOU HAVE THIS MIND, DON'T TALK DEVOTION. IF YOU COME TO SUCH A POINT THAT THE EXPERIENCE OF LIFE, OR SOMEONE'S PRESENCE HAS OVERWHELMED YOU SO MUCH THAT YOUR MIND HAS JUST SUNK INTO THE BACKGROUND, THAT WHAT YOU THINK AND WHAT YOU FEEL IS MORE IMPORTANT, THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS BECOME MUCH MORE IMPORTANT FOR YOU - THEN DEVOTION IS A POSSIBILITY.

THE POWER OF STILL

 

                               A LADDER TO THE DIVINE

                       BE AWARE OF YOUR THOUGHTS !

                    WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE AWARE?

          

                        IF YOU WANT TO KNOW LIFE IN ITS IMMENSITY,

                                YOU NEED SOMETHING MORE THAN YOUR THOUGHTS,

                       YOUR LOGIC, OR YOUR INTELLECT".

                     "AWARENESS" IS A VERY VAGUE TERM. IT MEANS DIFFERENT THINGS TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE. WHEN WE SAY "AWARENESS" DO NOT MISTAKE THIS FOR MENTAL ALERTNESS. MENTAL ALERTNESS WILL HELP YOU SURVIVE BETTER. IF WILL HELP YOU CONDUCT YOUR SURVIVAL PROCESS IN A SLIGHTLY SUPERIOR FASHION. AWARENESS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU DO. AWARENESS IS ALIVENESS. YOUR ALIVENESS IS ONLY BECAUSE OF YOUR AWARENESS. IF YOU WERE COMPLETELY UNAWARE, WOULD YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALIVE? YOU ARE ALIVE ONLY TO THE EXTENT YOU ARE AWARE. AND TO WHAT EXTEN YOU ARE AWARE, ONLY TO THAT EXTENT SOMETHING IS IN YOUR EXPERIENCE.

                 HOW DO I PRACTICE AWARENESS? YOU CANNOT PRACTICE IT. HOW CAN YOU PRACTICE LIFE? IF YOU WERE DEAD YOU COULD PRACTICE LIFE. IF YOU ARE ALIVE, HOW CAN YOU PRACTICE LIFE? IT IS JUST THAT RIGHT NOW, YOU ARE NOT GIVING MUCH ROOM FOR YOUR ALIVENESS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE YOU HAVE GIVEN TOO MUCH SIGNIFICANCE TO WHAT YOU THINK AND FEEL. YOUR PSYCHOLOGICAL PROCESS HAS BECOME FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAT YOUR LIFE PROCESS. WHY AWARENESS SEEMS TO BE SO DIFFICULT IS SIMPLY BECAUSE WE HAVE LET OUR MINDS GO INTO ENDLESS CHATTER. IF YOUR MIND IS NOT CHATTERING, AWARENSS IS THE NATURAL WAY TO BE.

                   ONCE IN A WHILE, IF I JUST CLOSE MY DOORS AND SIT IN A PLACE FOR FIVE DAYS , I DO NOT HAVE SINGLE THOUGHT FOR FIVE DAYS. I DON'T LOOK OUT OF THE WINDOW, I DON'T READ, I DON'T DO ANYTHING. I AM SIMPLY BEING ALIVE. THIS IS SUCH A HUGE PHENOMENON HAPPENING WITHIN YOU, WHAT IS THERE TO THINK ABOUT? HEING ALIVE IS A FAR BIGGER PROCESS THAN YOUR STUPID THOUGHT PROCESS.

                    ANYWAY, WHAT CAN YOU THINK? YOU ARE JUST RECYCLING THE NONSENSE THAT YOU HAVE GATHERED. CAN YOU THINK SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE NONESENSE THAT HAS BEEN FED INTO YOUR HEAD? YOU ARE JUST RECYCLING THE OLD DATA YOU HAVE GATHERED. THIS RECYCLING NONSENSE HAS BECOME SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU CAN EVEN DARE TO SAY, " I THINK, THEREFORE I AM". AND THAT BECOMES THE WORLDS WAY OF LIFE. EXISTENCE IS, EVEN WITHOUT YOUR SILLY THOUGHTS.

                      IF YOU CHOOSE, YOU CAN FULLY BE AND STILL NOT THINK. PLEASE SEE, THE MORE BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS IN YOUR LIFE ARE THOSE MOMENTS WHEN YOU WERE NOT THINKING ABOUT ANYTHING. WHAT YOU CALL MOMENTS OF BLISS, MOMENTS OF JOY, MOMENTS OF ECSTASY, MOMENTS OF UTTER PEACE, THESE WERE MOMENTS WHEN YOU WERE NOT THINKING ABOUT ANYTHING BUT WERE JUST LIVING.

                    WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT, LIVING OR THINKING? YOU MUST DECIDE THIS - DO YOU WANT TO BE LIVING BEING OR A THINKING BEING? RIGHT NOW, NINETY PERCENT OF THE TIME, YOU ARE ONLY THINKING ABOUT LIFE, NOT LIVING LIFE. AS YOU HERE TO EXPERIENCE LIFE OR TO THINK ABOUT LIFE? YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE LIFE, AND YOU CANNOT EXPERIENCE LIFE IF YOU ARE LOST IN YOUR THOUGHT. IT IS ONLY THROUGH PERCEPTION THAT YOU EXPERIENCE. YOU CANNOT EXPERIENCE THROUGH THOUGHT. WITH THE PAST EXPERIENCE OF LIFE, YOU ARE COOKING UP SOMETHING IN YOUR HEAD - THAT IS A THOUGHT PROCESS. WHATEVER YOU THINK HAS NO SIGNIFICANCE BECAUSE YOUR THOUGHTS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH REALITY. THEY DO NOT MEAN ANYTHING. EVERYONE CAN THINK UP THEIR OWN NONSENSE WHICHEVER WAY THEY WANT. IF NEED NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH REALITY AT ALL.

                    YOUR PSYCHOLOGIC PROCESS IS A VERY SMALL HAPPENING COMPARED TO THE LIFE PROCESS. ISN'T BEING ALIVE RIGHT NOW MORE IMPORTANT FOR YOU THAN THINKING? BUT IF I TRAMPLE UPON YOUR THOUGHT EVEN A LITTLE, YOU ARE EVEN WILLING TO DIE FOR IT. PEOPLE DIE FOR THEIR IDEAS. PEOPLE DIE FOR THEIR THOUGHT. PEOPLE DIE FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN. THOUGHT HAS BECOME FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE LIFE PROCESS BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE NOT REALIZED THE IMMENSITY OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE ALIVE. BECAUSE LIFE HAS BEEN RESTRAINED WITHIN THE SURVIVAL ACTIVITY, THOUGHT LOOKS GRANDER THAN LIFE. BUT IT IS NOT SO. THOUGHT IS JUST A SMALL HAPPENING COMPARED TO THE LIFE PROCESS.

YOUR MIND IS A WONDERFUL SLAVE

 

                 

                           HOW TO MEDITATE 

                                       WITHOUT DISTRACT

                                                                    ❤❤

                                                             👀👀

                            THE MAIN ASPECT OF MEDITATION IS, AS YOU BECOME MORE MEDITATIVE, YOU BECOME THE BOSS, YOUR MIND BECOMES THE SLAVE, AND THAT IS HOW IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE".

                                                              👀👀

                            👉❤

                        WHENEVER I TRY TO MEDITATE, MY MIND ALWAYS SEEMS TO COME UP WITH EXCUSES NOT TO MEDITATE AND I END UP GETTING DISTRACTED. I JUST DON'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO SIT STILL AND MEDITATE. HOW DO I DEAL WITH THIS?

                 ANS : YOUR MIND DOES NOT LIKE MEDITATION. WHEN YOU WANT TO SIT AND MEDITATE, THE MIND WILL DO EVERYTHING TO SEE THAT YOU DON'T . FIRST IT WILL SAY, "OH, WE'LL MEDITATE TOMORROW". "TOMORROW" IS THE DEEPEST CUNNING OF YOUR MIND. THE MIND WILL NOT SAY, "I WON'T DO IT". IF YOUR MIND SAYS, " I WON'T DO IT", YOUR EGO WILL SAY, I WILL DO IT". THAT IS THE NATURE OF YOUR EGO. IF I WANT TO GET SOMETHING DONE BY YOU, ONE SIMPLE WAY OF GETTING IT DONE IS TO SAY, "PLEASE DON'T DO IT. NO, YOU SHOULD NOT DO IT. DON'T DO IT". YOU WILL DO IT BECAUSE THAT IS THE NATURE OF THE EGO. SO THE MIND WILL NEVER SAY, "I WILL NOT DO IT". IT WILL SAY, "LET'S DO IT TOMORROW"- AND TOMORROW NEVER COMES.

                       IN THE RURAL AREAS OF SOUTH INDIA, THERE IS A BELIEF THAT EVIL SPIRITS TRY TO ENTER YOUR HOUSE IN THE EVENINGS, AND BECAUSE THESE EVEIL SPIRITS CAN ONLY SEE TEH COLOR RED, THEY GO FOR YOUR BLOOD. SO PEOPLE WRITE "NAALE BAA" IN RED PAINT ON THE FRONT DOOR, "NAALE BAA" MEANS "COMES TOMORROW". EVERY DAY, THE EVIL SPIRIT SUPPOSEDLY COMES TO THE DOORSTEP, SEES THIS SIGN AND THINKS, "OH, THIS HOURSE IS FOR TOMORROW". AND GOES AWAY. TOMORROW NEVER COMES, SO THE EVIL SPIRIT NEVER ENTERS THE HOUSE. PEOPLE HAVE DONE THIS TO SO MANY THINGS THAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING THEIR LIFE. THEY HAVE DONE, "NAALE BAA, NAALE BAA" TO THEIR VERY HAPPINESS.

                         WHEN YOU SIT FOR MEDITATION, IF THE MIND'S, COME TOMORROW" TACTIC FAILS, IF YOU SAY, "NO, NO, I AM COMMITTED, I MUST SIT FOR MEDITATION. I'LL JUST SETTLE DOWN, THE MIND WILL TRY ITS NEXT TRICK. SUDDENLY, THAT TELEPHONE NUMBER THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TRYING TO REMEMBER FOR THE LAST ONE WEEK WILL FLASH BRIGHT AND CLEAR IN YOUR MIND. IF YOU SAY "EUREKA"! JUMP UP, AND RUN TO THE TELEPHONE, THE MEDITATION IS FINISHED.

                             👉❤

                           IF YOU DON'T RUN OFF, BUT CONTINUE TO SIT AND MEDITATE, IN TWO TO THREE MINUTES, IN HALF A DOZEN DIFFERENT PLACES, YOU WILL SUDDENLY START TO ITCH. IF YOU DON'T MEDITATE, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN, BUT IF YOU SIT FOR MEDITATION, SO MANY THINGS WILL START HAPPENING EVERYWHERE, THIS IS BECAUSE THE MIND KNOWS THAT IF YOU KEEP THE BODY STILL, THE MIND WILL ALSO NATURALLY BECOME STILL. AND THE MIND KNOWS THAT IF IT ALLOWS THIS TO HAPPEN, IT WILL BECOME ENSLAVED. THIS IS WHY IN YOGA, SO MUCH STRESS HAS BEEN LAID ON ASANAS, BECAUSE IF YOU JUST LEARN HOW TO KEEP YOUR BODY ABSOLUTELY STILL, THEN YOUR MIND WILL ALSO BECOME STILL.

                        IF YOU JUST OBSERVE YOURSELF, YOU WILL SEE HOW MANY UNNECESSARY MOVEMENTS YOUR BODY IS MAKING WHEN YOU STAND, AND SPEAK. IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR LIFE AND SEE, YOU WILL SEE HAT PROBABLY MORE THAN HALF THE TIME IS TAKEN UP IN THIS. THERE IS SO MUCH UNNECESSARY THOUGHT AND ACTIVITY WITH THE BODY - THINGS THAT YOU YOURSELF DO NOT REALLY CARE FOR. BUT IF YOU KEEP THE BODY STILL, SLOWLY THE MIND WILL START COLLAPSING.

                               👉❤

                      THIS IS WHEN YOUR MIND WILL P LAY THE FINAL TRICK. IT ASKS THE QUESTION, "WHAT WILL I GET? WHAT IS THE TAKEAWAY FROM THIS MEDITATION? THAT IS THE KEY TO ALL THE ACITIVITY THAT IS HAPPENING IN THE MIND. 

                      IT IS ALL ABOUT "WHAT CAN I GET? IF YOU DROP THIS CALCULATION, NINETY PERCENT OF THE WORK IS OVER, SPIRITUALLY. ANOTHER TEN PERCENT WILL HAPPEN BY ITSELF. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET ANYTHING. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BENEFIT FROM IT. THIS IS NOT ABOUT BECOMING HEALTHY OR BECOMING ENLIGHTENED OR REACHING HEAVEN - THIS IS JUST WASTING TIME. JUST LEARN TO WASTE SOME TIME MEDITATING EVERY DAY. NOTHINGS NEEDS TO HAPPEN. IF YOU LOOK FOR THE TAKEAWAY, YOU WILL ONLY TAKE PETTY THINGS.  THE REAL THING WILL NEVER COME WITH YOU. IF YOU WANT THE REAL THING, YOU JUST HAVE TO DROP THIS ONE SIMPLE CALCULATION. IF YOU JUST PULL THE PLUG, IF YOU JUST DESTROY THIS ONE CALCULATION. THE VERY FOUNDATIONS OF THE MIND ARE TAKEN AWAY. SUDDENLY IT IS DIFFICULT, IT BECOMES A WONDERFUL SLAVE.

                               👉❤

                     RIGHT NOW YOUR MIND IS THE BOSS, YOU ARE THE SLAVE. THE MAIN ASPECT OF MEDITATION IS, AS YOU BECOME MORE MEDITATIVE, YOU BECOME THE BOSS, YOUR MIND BECOMES THE SLAVE, AND THAT IS HOW IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE. THE MIND IS A TERRIBLE MASTER. HE WILL PUT YOU THROUGH ALL KINDS OF ENDLESS SUFFERING. BUT THE MIND IS A WONDERFUL SLAVE. IF YOU KEEP YOUR MIND IN A CERTAIN WAY, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANT WITH IT.

THE ENERGY OF YOUR THOUGHTS

                     

                                THE ENERGY OF SEXUALITY

                                                                    💫💫💫

                             WE SPEND A LOT OF ENERGY AND LIFE THINKING ABOUT SEXUALITY AND THE OTHER SED. IS THIS WRIGHT OR WRONG?

                             👉           👀👀

                              ANS : THERE IS NOTHING STRANGE ABOUT IT. IT IS JUST THAT YOUR INTELLIGENCE HAS BEEN HIJACKED BY YOUR HORMONES. IT IS NOT YOU, IT IS JUST COMPULSIVE BEHAVIOR.

                           WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD, IT DIDN'T MATTER TO YOU WHAT REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS A MAN OR A WOMAN CARRIED. BUT THE MOMENT HORMONES STARTED PLAYING WITHIN YOU, YOU COULD NOT THINK OF A WORLD BEYOND THAT. AND YOU WILL SEE, BEYOND A CERTAIN AGE, WHEN THE PLAY OF HORMONES GOES DOWN, ONCE AGAIN IT DOESN'T MATTER. WHEN YOU LOOK BACK, YOU CANNOT BELIEVE YOU WERE THE ONE WHO WAS DOING ALL THAT.

                                                                    👀👀

                       RIGHT NOW YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT THE OPPOSITE SEX ALL THE TIME. LET US SAY I GRAN YOU THE BOON THAT ALL WOMEN IN THE WORLD WILL BE AFTER YOU. YOU WILL STILL LIVE AN UNFULFILLED LIFE. IT WILL DEFINITELY NOT GET YOU ANYWHERE WORTHWHILE. I AM NOT TRYING TO MAKE IT DIRTY. IT IS FINE, BUT YOU WILL LIVE WITHIN AMBIT OF THE PHYSICAL BODY. MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF PLEASURE WILL COME TO YOU BUT IS NOT THE ULTIMATE. NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE OR HOW MUCH YOU HAVE, YOU WILL STILL LIVE AN UNFULFILLED LIFE. YOU MAY TRY TO MANAGE IT SOMEHOW WITH A LITTLE BIT OF EMOTION, A LITTLE BIT OF MIND, AND A LITTLE BIT OF SOCIETY, BUT IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOU DO, IF YOU ARE SINCERE WITH YOUR LIFE, YOU WILL SEE YOU ARE STILL LIVING AN UNFULFILLED LIFE.

                          HOW DO WE KEEP OUT THOUGHTS PURE?

                                                          ❤❤❤

                               👉        👀👀

                         WHO TOLD YOU THAT A THOUGHT CAN BE DIRTY? A THOUGHT IS JUST A THOUGHT. IT IS NEITHER PURE NOR DIRTY. IT IS SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU GET IDENTIFIED WITH IT THAT IT LOOKS LIKE REALITY. EVERY THOUGHT THAT YOU HAVE IS HAPPENING ONLY FROM THE INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY GATHERED, THE INFLUENCES THAT YOU HAVE COME UNDER, AND THE DATA THAT YOU HAVE COLLECTED WITHIN YOURSELF. NO NEW THOUGHT IS HAPPENING TO YOU. YOU CAN MIX IT AND MAKE PERMUTATIONS AND COMBINATIONS OUT OF IT, BUT NOTHING NEW EVER COMES OUT OF YOU BECAUSE WHAT YOU NAME AS "MY MIND" IS NOT REALLY YOUR MIND. YOUR MIND IS JUST SOCIETY'S GARBAGE BIN. EVERYONE WHO COMES YOUR WAY THROWS SOME NONSENSE INTO YOUR HEAD AND GOES. YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE ABOUT WHAT TO RECEIVE AND WHAT NOT TO RECEIVE. CAN YOU SAY, "I DON'T LIKE THIS PERSON. I DON'T WANT ANYTHING FROM HIM". IS IT POSSIBLE? IF YOU DON'T LIKE HIM, HE WLL THROW MORE INTO YOUR MIND AND GO. SO WHAT YOU CALL AS "MY MIND" IS JUST AN A ACCUMULATION.

                                                                  👀👀

                   WHEN I SAY GARBAGE BIN, I AM NOT SAYING IT IS USELESS. FOR EXAMPLE, YOUR HOME CAN PROBABLY DO WITHOUT A TELEVISION, MAYBE EVEN WITHOUT A TELEPHONE, BUT IT DEFINITELY CANNOT DO WITHOUT A GARBAGE BIN. THE QUALITY OF YOUR HOUSE IS VERY MUCH DECIDED BY THE GARBAGE BIN. BUT BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A USEFUL DEVICE IN YOUR HOUSE, SUPPOSE YOU DECIDED TO SLEEP IN IT TONIGHT, THEN IT BECOMES TERRIBLE.

                     THIS IS ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOU RIGHT NOW. YOU ARE SLEEPING AND LIVING INSIDE THE GARBAGE BIN, SO IT SEEMS DIFFICULT. IF YOU KEEP THE GARBAGE BIN ELSEWHERE, OPEN IT AND USE IT WHEN YOU HAVE TO, OR SHUT IT WHEN YOU DON'T WANT IT, THIS WOULD BE A WONDERFUL INSTRUMENT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU ARE STUCK IN IT ALL THE TIME.

                                                                 👀👀

                 THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CONTENT OF YOUR MIND. YOU BETTER HAVE ALL THE FILTH IN THE WORLD IN YOUR MIND, OTHERWISE IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WHAT, YOU MAY WALK INTO IT- BY ACCIDENT OR BY SOMEONE'S INTENTION. BUT IF YOU KNOW, YOU WILL KNOW THIS IS NOT FOR ME. SO, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CONTENT OF YOUR MIND IF YOU DO NOT GET IDENTIFIED WITH IT. IF YOU GET IDENTIFIED WITH IT, IT MAKES YOU FEEL FILTHY BECAUSE EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD IS THERE IN YOUR MIND AND NOW IT IS STICKING TO YOU. IF YOU JUST KEEP IT WHERE IT SHOULD BE, THERE IS REALLY NO PROBLEM.

IS THE MIND AND BRAIN ARE SAME?

 

                               THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

                                      MIND AND BRAIN?

                                MIND IS NOT IN ANY ONE PLACE. EVERY CELL IN THIS BODY HAS ITS OWN INTELLIGENCE. THE BRAIN IS SITTING IN YOUR BODY, BUT MIND IS ALL OVER THE PLACE.

                         ARE "MIND" AND "BRAIN" THE SAME THING?

                                                                👀👀

 

                     ANS : NO, THEY ARE NOT. LIKE YOUR LITTEL FINGER, THE BRAIN IS ALSO ANOTHER PART OF YOUR BODY - WITH A DIFFERENT FUNCTION, OF COURSE. CAN THE MIND BE ACTIVE WITHOUT A BRAIN? IT IS NOT JUST THE BRAIN. THE MIND CANNOT BE ACTIVE WITHOUT MANY THINGS. WE NEED NOT SCOOP OUT YOUR BRAINS TO TAKE AWAY THE ACTIVITY OF YOUR MIND. THAT CAN BE DONE IN SO MANY WAYS.

                     THE BRAIN IS A PHYSICAL THING. IT IS THE BODY. IT HAS A CERTAIN FUNCTION WHICH IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE MIND TO EXIST. BUT THE MIND IS A CERTAIN CONSEQUENCE AND ACTIVITY. FOR EXAMPLE, SUPPOSE YOU ARE SPEAKING. YOUR SPEECH EXISTS. IF YOU STOP SPEAKING AND SIT QUIETLY, WHERE IS YOUR SPEECH? IS IT SITTING AND WAITING IN YOUR MOUTH? NO. IT JUST DOES NOT EXIST. YOUR SPEECH EXISTS ONLY WHEN YOU ARE IN THAT ACTIVITY. OTHERWISE, IT DOES NOT.

                                                                    💫💫

                SIMILARLY WITH YOUR MIND, YOUR MIND EXISTS ONLY IN ITS ACTIVITY. IF YOU TAKE OFF THE ACTIVITY, IT DOES NOT EXISTS. IT IS NOT A PHYSICAL OBJECT. WHERE IS YOUR MIND? IF YOU KNEW IT WAS, YOU WOULD HAVE FIXED IT BY NOW. YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS BECAUSE IT EXISTS ONLY IN ITS ACTIVITY. BUT BRAIN IN A PHYSICAL OBJECT. THE BRAIN IS NOT ONLY ABOUT THOUGHTS AND THE OTHER THINGS WHICH YOU REFER TO A "MIND". IT ALSO CONTROLS HOW YOUR LIVE, YOUR HEAR, EVEN HOW YOUR LITTLE FINGER SHOULD FUNCTION.

                          THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT ARE THEY CONNECTED? DEFINITELY - EVERYTHIG IS CONNECTED. EVERY CELL IN YOUR BODY IS CONNECTED. EVERY CELL IN YOUR BODY HAS ITS OWN MIND. YOUR GENES CARRY MEMORY AND ACT OUT THAT MEMORY. THAT IS A KIND OF A MIND.

                         IN YOGA, WE LOOK AT A HUMAN BEING AS FIVE SHEATHS OF BODY. THREE ARE PHYSICAL REALITIES, THE OTHER TWO ARE IN A DIFFERENT REALM. THE THREE - PHYSICAL BODY, MENTAL BODY AND ENERGY BODY - ARE ALL PHYSICAL, AND THEY CANNOT EXIST WITHOUT EACH OTHER. THE PHYSICAL BODY IS PHYSICAL, YOU CAN SEE IT. BUT THERE IS  A  MENTAL BODY THAT YOU CANNOT SEE. EVERY CELL IN THIS BODY HAS ITS OWN INTELLIGENCE, THIS IS A MENTAL BODY. THE BRAIN IS SITTING IN YOUR HAND, BUT THE MIND IS NOT IN ANY ONE PLACE, IT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT IS A CERTAIN ACTIVITY. IF YOU CEASE THE ACTIVITY, THEN THE MIND DOES NOT EXIST.

                           IT YOU TURN OFF THE MIND, IT IS NOT JUST OFF - IT CEASES TO EXIST. IF OU TURN ON IT ON, IT IS AGAIN THERE. IT IS LIKE A CINEMA. WHEN A CINEMA IS ON, IT IS MORE REAL THAN REAL. THEN, WITH JUST ONE SWITCH, IT VANISHES. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER A WAR SCENE IS GOING ON OR A LOVE SCENE IS GOING ON, YOU TURN OFF ONE POWER SWITCH, IT IS GONE. MIND IS JUST LIKE THAT. A BIG DRAMA IS GOING ON WHICH IS SO REAL, I YOUR EXPERIENCE OF LIFE, WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR MIND IS MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU THAN WHAT IS GOING ON OUTSIDE OF YOU. WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS AND EMOTION SAYS, IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT THE WORLD IS SAYING. BUT IF YOU TURN IT OFF, IT SUDDENLY CEASES TO EXIST.  THEN YOU SEE THE RIDICULOUS NATURE OF YOUR MIND. IT CREATES SUCH A DRAMA, BUT IT IS ACTUALLY SO FRAGILE. IT IS LIKE A CINEMA - YOU TURN IT OFF, IT IS FINISHED.

                       IF IT BECOMES A CONSCIOUS CINEMA, THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CINEMA. LET US SAY YOU HAVE A DVD IN YOUR HOUSE AND ALL THE WALLS IN YOUR HOUSE ARE SCREENS. IF THE SAME MOVIE IS PLAING ALL THE TIME, AND THAT IS WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW. WHEN THE MIND IS OUT OF CONTROL, WE SAY THAT PERSON IS MAD. I AM NOT SAYING YOUR MOVIE IS BAD. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT KIN DOF MOVIE IT IS , IF IT IS ON ALL THE TIME, IT IS A HORROR. YOU CAN ENJOY THE MOVIE ONLY IF YOU CAN TURN IT ON AND TURN IT OFF WHEN YOU WANT. THEN IT IS A WONDERFUL MOVIE.

FIRE BATH, WIND BATH, MUD BATH AND WATER BATH (THE AURA)

 

                                         THE AURA

                          THE FOUR TYPES OF BATH

                                                   💫

                  WIND, FIRE, MUD AND WATER BATH

                         HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT WHEN YOU HAVE A SHOWER, WHEN YOU LET WATER GO OVER YOU, YOU ARE NOT JUST CLEANING THE SKIN, SOMETHING ELSE GETS CLEANED? LET US SAY YOU ARE FEELING EVERY ANGRY OR AGITATED, AND ALL KINDS OF THINGS ARE HAPPENING WITHIN YOU. IF YOU JUST HAVE A SHOWER, YOU MAY FEEL THAT ALL THE NONSENSE HAS WASHED OFF.

                    A SHOWER IS NOT JUST ABOUT CLEANING THE SKIN OF YOUR BODY, YOU CAN CLEANSE THE AURA TOO, TO SOME EXTENT. THE AURA IS THE SUBTLE MANIFESTATION OF EVERYTHING THAT YOU ARE. IF YOU LOOK AT ONE'S AURA, YOU CLEARLY KNOW HIS PHYSICAL HEALTH, HIS MENTAL HEALTH, HIS KARMIC STRUCTURE- ONLY IF YOU ARE STUPIF WE CAN TELL YOUR FUTURE, OTHERWISE WE CAN ONLY TELL YOUR PAST.

                          THE AURA IS A CERTAIN MANIFESTATION OF YOURSELF, A SUBTLER MANIFESTATION IN THE PHYSICAL BODY. IT IS GOOD TO KEEP IT CLEAN. ITN'T IT GOOD TO KEEP YOUR BODY CLEAN? EVEN IF YOU DON'T SOMEBODY SITTING NEXT TO YOU UNDERSTANDS THAT IT IS GOOD! IT IS GOOD TO KEEP YOUR BODY, MIND AND EVERYTHING THAT IS YOU, CLEAN. I AM NOT TRYING TO TEACH YOU SANITATION OR HYGIENE. WHAT I AM SAYING IS THAT IF YOU WANT TO TAKE ANYTHING TO A HIGHER POSSIBILITY, THE FIRST THING IS TO PURIFY. WITHOUT PURIFICATION, YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING BETTER THAN THE WAY IT IS RIGHT NOW.

                         THERE ARE MANY METHODS YOU CAN LEARN TO PURIFY YOUR BODY AND MIND, FROM DOING KRIYAS TO EATING PROPERLY. AURA IS A MANIFESTATION, IT IS NOT A PRESENCE BY ITSELF, BUT IF YOU ARE DOING SADHANA AND YOU ARE IMPROVING YOUR SYSTEM, WHAT YOU MANIFESTED YESTERDAY OR WHAT YOU MANIFESTED TEN YEARS AGO MAY BE STILL HANGING AROUND YOU AND NOT ALLOWING YOU TO BECOME WHAT YOU WANT TO BE. THAT CAN BE CLEANSED.

                    JUST AS YOU TAKE A SHOWER WITH WATER, SIMILARLY, YOU CAN GIVE YOURSELF A WIND BATH. SUPPOSE THERE IS A GENTLE BREEZE BLOWING. IF YOU WEAR THIN CLOTHES AND STAND IN THAT WIND, AFTER SOME TIME YOU FEEL SO CLEAN AND TRANSPARENT. WIND CAN DO THAT. IT SHOULD BE AT JUST THE RIGHT VELOCITY, FEEL, TEMPERATURE AND EVERYTHING. IF IT IS RIGHT, WIND JUST CLEANSES YOU. THAT IS A WIND BATH. WE CAN ALSO GIVE YOU A MUD BATH. IF YOU GO TO REJUCENATION CENTER THEY GIVE YOU A MUD BATH. SIMILARLY, WE CAN GIVE YOU A FIRE BATH.

                   WHAT BEING DONE IN THE LINGA BHAIRAVI IS A FIRE BATH. OF COURSE, YOU CANNOT POUR IT OVER YOUR BODY, YOU CAN TOUCH THE AURA OF YOUR BODY IN A CERTAIN WAY. THERE ARE CERTAIN PATTERNS RUNNING IN YOUR AURA. IF YOU RUN FIRE ALONG THOSE TRACKS, SUDDENLY YOU FEEL BRIGHT AND CLEAR. PEOPLE FROM INDIAN ORIGIN CLEARLY KNOW THIS. IN YOUR HOMES, YOUR GRANDMOTHERS WERE TAKING OFF DRISHTI FOR YOU AURA CLEANSING. MAYBE SOME OF YOUR GRANDMOTHERS KNEW EXACTLY HOW TO DO IT, AND SOME OF THEM DID NOT KNOW, SO WITH IGNORANCE THEY SIMPLY DID SOMETHING. IF IT IS PROPERLY DONE, IT WILL WORK WONDERFULLY WELL. EVEN IF IT IS PROPERLY DONE, IT WILL WORK WONDERFULLY WELL. EVEN IF IT IS DONE WITHOUT PROPER UNDERSTANDING, IT STILL WORKS PARTIALLY. ANY NUMBER OF TIMES, PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE NOTIED THAT WHEN CHILDREN ARE SICK, THEY GET BETTER IF JUST A LITTLE FIRE BATH IS DONE. IT DOES THINGS TO THE SYSTEM.

                    WHAT IS BREING GIVEN AT LINGA BHAIRAVI IS KLESHA NASHANA KRIYA, A PROCESS WHICH DESTROYS IMPURITIES. IN ENGLISH IT IS CALLED AURA CLEANSING. IT IS TO TAKE AWAY THE IMPURITIES FROM THE AURA SO THAT THE BODY BREATHES AND FEELS BETTER IN TERMS OF HEALTH, WELLBEING, AND MENTAL BALANCE.
