THE GOAL AND YOUR FLOW OF LIFE

 

                                  THE FIRST QUESTION 

                                                                              ❤❤

                      YOU SAID LIFE AND EXISTENCE HAVE NO GOAL, THEY ARE A PURPOSE UNTO THEMSELVES. OTHER MASTERS, FOR INSTANCE, SRI AUROBINDO, TEACH EVOLUTION AS THE AIM OF THE WORLD, EVOLUTION IN ALWAYS REACHING FOR STILL HIGHER LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS- FROM THE KINGDOM OF MINERALS TO THE KINGDOM OF VEGETABLES, ANIMALS, MAN, FROM PRESENT MAN TO ENLIGHTENED MAN.

                    ARE THESE TEACHINGS WRONG? OR IS THERE A BRIDGE TO PURPOSELESSNESS?

                      AT BODHI, SRI AUROBINDO IS A GREAT PHILOSOPHER BUT NOT A MASTER AT ALL. VERY INTELLIGENT, VERY SCHOLARLY, A GREAT INTELLECTUAL, BUT NOT AN ENLIGHTENED MASTER. HE TALKS ABOUT GOD AND TALKS BEAUTIFULL, BUT IT IS ALL TALK, IT IS ALL ABSTRACTION. IT IS NOT A REALISATION.

                     IF IT IS A REALIZATION, THEN THERE CAN'T BE ANY GOAL. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE WORLD HAS EVOLUTION AS THE GOAL, THEN WHAT WILL BE THE GOAL OF EVOLUTION? WHY EVOLUTION AT ALL? WHY IN THE FIRST PLACE? YOU WILL HVE TO CREATE ANOTHER ABSTRACTION, AND IT WILL BE A REGRESS AD INFINITUM.

                    WHATSOEVER YOU FIX AS THE GOAL, THE QUESTION WILL REMAIN RELEVANT ABOUT THAT WHY?

                      IF THIS IS THE GOAL OF EVOLUTION, TO REALIZE GOD, THEN WHAT IS THE GOAL OF REALIZING GOD? JUST ASK THAT QUESTION AND YOU ARE BACK TO THE SAME PLACE. IF ENLIGHTENMENT IS THE GAOL OF LIFE, THEN WHAT IS THE GOAL OF ENLIGHTENMENT? AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE POINT - ENLIGHTENMENT WILL HAVE NO PURPOSE. AND IF THE ULTIMATE ITSELF HAS NO PURPOSE, THEN WHAT IS THE POINT OF SAYING THAT LIFE HAS PURPOSE AND THE WORLD HAS PURPOSE? IF THE ULTIMATE IS PURPOSELESSNESS, THEN THAT ULTIMATE PERMEATES ALL.

                      THIS GOAL ORIENTATION COMES FROM THE EGO. THE EGO CANNOT ACCEPT THAT THERE IS NO GOAL. THE EGO CANNOT ACCEPT THAT THERE IS NO HIERARCHY. THE EGO CANNOT ACCEPT THAT THERE IS NO HIERARCHY. THE EGO CANNOT ACCEPT THAT MINERALS AND TREES AND ANIMALS AND MAN AND ENLIGHTENED PEOPLE ALL EXISTS IN A GREAT SIMULTANEITY- THERE IS NO GRADATION. YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE SOMEBODY SPECIAL YOU ARE MAN, NOT A MINERAL. BUT WHAT IS SO GREAT IN BEING A MAN? WHAT IS SO GREAT IN BEING AN ANIMAL? OR A MAN OR AN ENLIGHTENED MAN? WHY CREATE THE HIERARCHY?

                 AND FINALLY THE WHOLE THING FALLS FLAT THEN IN THE END GOD HAS NO PURPOSE, AND GOD IS ALL.

                     THOSE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED, THOSE WHO HAVE HAVE NOT JUST BEEN THINKING ABOUT GOD, BUT THOSE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED WILL SAY GOD IS NOTHING BUT THE COSMIC SIMULTANEITY OF ALL. MINERALS ARE EXACTLY WHERE MAN IS IN THEIR OWN WAY, IN A DIFFERENT FORM. TREES ARE EXACTLY WHERE ENLIGHTENED PEOPLE ARE, IN THEIR OWN WAY IN THEIR OWN FORM. NOBODY IS HIGHER AND NOBODY IS LOWER.  THE EGO CANNOT ACCEPT THAT BECAUSE IF THERE IS NOBODY HIGHER, NOBODY LOWER THE EGO CAN'T EXIST AT ALL. IT CAN EXIST ONLY THROUGH COMPARISON. IT HAS TO PUT SOMEBODY LOWER AND IT HAS TO PUT SOMEBODY HIGHER. IT CAN EXIST ONLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THESE TWO FALSITIES. IT HAS TO PUT SOMEBODY LOWER SO IT CAN FEEL, GOOD, SO I AM SPECIAL. AND THEN IT HAS TO PUT SOMEBODY HIGHER SO I CAN GO ON STRIVING, SO THAT IT CAN GO ON ACHIEVING, SO THAT IT CAN GO ON LADDERCLIMBING.

THE TRUTH OF OUR MIND

 

                          HOW OUR MIND IS WORKING

                                               ❤❤

                      SHOULD YOU SEE, 

                          THE WAY OF THE BUDDHA

                    ALL NIGHT LONG,

                             SEARCHING, YOU WILL ENTER

                     INTO YOUR OWN MIND

                               SHOULD YOU SEEK

                     THE WAY OF THE BUDDHA

                                  ALL NIGHT LONG...

                                             ❤❤

                      THE ORDINARY MIND IS INTERESTED IN THE OUTSIDE. THE OUTSIDE IS INTRIGUING, WONDROUS, WORTH EXPLORING. SO WE EXPLORE IT FOR MONEY, FOR PRESTIGE, FOR OTHER THINGS, AND THEN ONE DAY WHEN WE ARE FINISHED WITH THE SO CALLED WORLDLY THINGS AND WE START LOOKING AGAIN FOR A MASTER, FOR BUDDHA, FOR CHRIST-STILL OUTSIDE! WE START LOOKING FOR THE WAY, BUT STILL OUTSIDE. AND THE BUDDHA IS NOT FOUND OUTSIDE. AND THE WAY IS NOT FOUND OUTSIDE.

                                               ❤❤

                               SHOULD YOU SEEK

                                  THE WAY OF THE BUDDHA

                             ALL NIGHT LONG...

                                               ❤❤

                       AND YOU CAN GO ON SEEKING ALL NIGHT LONG, THIS DARK NIGHT FOR MILLIONS OF LIVES, AND YOU WILL NOT FIND ANYTHING ... EXCEPT THIS TRUTH. IF YOU STUMBLE UPON IT YOU ARE FORTUNATE.

                                                     ❤❤

                                 SEARCHING, YOU WILL ENTER

                                     INTO YOUR OWN MIND.

                                                     ❤❤

                      IF YOU CAN FIND ONLY ONE THING OUT OF ALL KINDS OF FRUSTRATIONS THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO BE FOUND IN THE OUTSIDE, NOTHING AT ALL - AND SEEING IT, REALIZING IT, YOU TURN IN, THEN YOU OWN MIND IS THE WHOLE THING, THEN INSIDE YOU IS ALL.

                                                        ❤❤

                                  SEARCHING, YOU WILL ENTER

                                         INTO YOUR OWN MIND.

                                                       ❤❤

 

                           BY AND BY, AS YOU GO DEEPER INTO YOUR OWN MIND, YOU PENETRATE FROM MIND  TO NO-MIND. THE SUPERFICIAL LAYER IS OF THE MIND, BUT THE INNER CONTENT IS OF NO-MIND. THE SUPERFICIAL LAYER IS OF THE EGO, THE INNER CONTENT IS OF EGOLESSNESS. IF YOU ENTER IN, FIRST YOU WILL COME ACROSS MIND, THOUGHTS, DESIRES, FANTASIES, IMAGINATION, MEMORY, DREAMS AND ALL THAT STUFF. BUT IF YOU GO ON PENETRATING, SOON YOU WILL COME TO SILENT SPACES, THOUGHTLESS SPACES. SOON YOU WILL COME TO SILENT SPACES, THOUGHTLESS SPACES. SOON YOU WILL START COMING TO CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE INNER MOST CORE OF YOUR BEING WHICH IS TIMELESSNES, WHICH IS NOWHERENESS, WHICH HAS NO TIME AND NO SPACE.

                     WHEN YOU COME TO A POINT WHERE  YOU CAN'T SEE ANY TIME AND YOU CAN'T SEE ANY SPACE, YOU HAVE ARRIVED. BUT THIS ARRIVAL IS ARRIVING BACK TO YOUR OWN NATURE. YOU HAVE NOT ARRIVED TO SOMETHING NEW, YOU HAVE ARRIVED TO THAT WHICH WAS ALREADY GIVEN AND HAS BEEN ALWAYS YOURS.

                                                             ❤❤

                                           WHEN THEY ASK YOU,

                                               WHERE IS YOUR COUNTRY?

                                          WHAT IS YOU NATIVE PLACE? ANSWER,

                                             "I AM A MAN

                                         OF ORIGINAL INACTIVITY."

                                                             ❤❤

                         AND WHEN YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT THIS POINT, NOW YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS NO NEED TO DO ANYTHING, ALL IS HAPPENING. THAT THERE WAS NEVER ANY NEED TO DO ANYTHING. THAT ALL WAS ALREADY HAPPENING. YOU WERE UNNECESSARILY WORRIED. YOU CARRIED ALL THOSE WEIGHTS BECAUSE YOU WERE IGNORANT. OTHERWISE, THINGS WERE HAPPENING.

TIPS TO HAVE A HAPPY LIFE

 

   

                                  THE FIRST QUESTION

                                                               👀👀👀

                      TODAY YOU SAID THAT THE WAY TO ENLIGHTENMENT IS LONG AND ARDUOUS, AND ALSO THAT IT IS HERE AND NOW, NOW OR NEVER.

                         AS IT IS HERENOW, HOW CAN IT BE LONG AND ARDUOUS?

                   THAT'S WHY IT IS LONG AND ARDUOUS-BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT HERE-NOW. YOU ARE FAR AWAY FROM HERE NOW. YOU WILL HAVE TO COME, YOU WILL HAVE TO JOURNEY.

                   WHEN I SAY TRUTH IS NOT FAR AWAY, I MEAN TRUTH IS HERE-NOW I DON'T MEAN YOU ARE NOT FAR AWAY FROM TRUTH. YOU ARE FAR AWAY FROM TRUTH. TRUTH IS NOT FAR AWAY FROM YOU, GOD CANNOT BE FAR AWAY FROM YOU. GOD EXISTS IN YOU AS YOU. GOD EXISTS AS ETERNITY, NOT AS PAST OR FUTURE. GOD SIMPLY IS. HOW CAN GOD BE FAR AWAY? THERE IS NOT PLACE FOR HIM TO BE FAR AWAY. HE IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. HE IS EVERYWHERE... IN YOUR BREATHING, IN YOUR HEARTBEAT. BUT YOU ARE NOT THERE.

                      GOD HAS NOT GONE AWAY, YOU HAVE GONE AWAY FROM HIM. YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THIS. FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE NIGHT YOU SLEEP AND YOU DREAM-YOU DREAM YOU HAVE GONE TO THE MOON YOU ARE HERE, BUT THE DREAM HAS TAKEN YOU FAR AWAY. IN THE MORNING WHEN YOU AWAKE, YOU WILL NOT FIND YOURSELF ON THE MOON-YOU WILL BE HERE IN POONA. BUT IN THE DREAM YOU WERE FAR AWAY FROM YOUR REALITY. YOU HAVE TO COME BACK FROM YOUR DREAMS... AND THE JOURNEY IS ARDOUS BECAUSE YOU HAVE INVESTED SO MUCH IN THOSE DREAMS, AND YOU ARE HOPING TO GAIN SO MUCH FROM THOSE DREAMS, AND YOU HAVE LIVED IN THOSE DREAMS FOR SO LONG THAT THEY HAVE BECOME REALITY, YOUR REALITY.

                   THE EAST CALLS THIS DREAMING STATE OF MIND MAYA-ILLUSION. AND THEN YOU CAN GO ON SEARCHING FOR GOD IN YOUR ILLUSIONS AND YOU WILL NOT FIND HIM. YOU HAVE TO AWAKE. AND TO BE AWAKE IS ARDUOUS BECAUSE A THOUSAND AND ONE DREAMS WILL BE SHATTERED. AND IN THOSE DREAMS ALL YOUR JOYS, ALL YOUR SO-CALLED SUCCESS, AMBITIONS, ARE INVOLVED. YOUR WHOLE EGO IS INVOLVED. THE EGO WILL BE SHATTERED.

                   YOU ARE HERE  BUT THE EGO HAS GONE TO THE MOON-AND THE EGO CAN ONLY LIVE THROUGH DREAMS, IT CAN ONLY LIVE THROUGH ILLUSIONS. IT IS NOURISHED BY ILLUSIONS. THE MORE ILLUSIONS YOU HAVE, THE MORE GRANDIOSE AN EGO YOU HAVE. THE GREATER YOUR ILLUSIONS, THE BIGGER YOUR EGO. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO RENOUNCE THOSE DREAMS.

                        IN THE EAST THIS IS CALLED SANNYAS, TO RENOUNCE THOSE DREAMS. WHEN IT IS SAID, "RENOUNCE THE WORLD", IT IS NOT MEANT THE ACTUAL WORLD-THE WIFE, THE HUSBAND, THE CHILDREN, THE HOUSE, THE MARKETPLACE. NO, NOT AT ALL. WHAT IS REALLY MEANT IS THIS DREAMWORLD IN WHICH YOU GO ON CONSTANTLY MOVING AWAY FROM YOURSELF AND AWAY FROM REALITY. RENOUNCE THE DREAM! AND THAT IS ARDUOUS.

                      NOW, LET ME READ YOUR QUESTION AGAIN:

                                                           ❤❤❤

                       TODAY YOU SAID THAT THE WAY TO ENLIGHTENMENT IS LONG AND ARDUOUS - IT IS - AND ALSO THAT IT IS HERE AND NOW- IT IS . AS IT IS HERENOW, HOW CAN IT BE LONG AND ARDUOUS?

                       THAT'S WHY . YOU ARE NOT TO GO ANYWHERE, YOU HAVE TO COME HERE!YOU HAVE ALREADY GONE SOMEWHERE. YOU HAVE MOVED AWAY FROM YOUR INNERMOST CORE. YOU NEVER COME HOME. AND GOD EXISTS THERE, BUT YOU KEEP GOD AT YOUR BACK. YOUR EYES ARE ROAMING FAR AWAY IN DISTANT STARS, THEY NEVER COME BACK. FROM ONE STAR TO ANOTHER YOU GO ON HOPPING. YOUR MIND IS A VAGABOND.

                       SO IT IS ARDUOUS AND YET IT IS EASY. THE CONTRADICTION IS ONLY APPARENT. IT IS ARDUOUS BECAUSE OF YOU, IT IS EASY BECAUSE OF GOD.  IF YOU THINK OF GOD YOU CAN IT VERY EASILY, YOU CAN RELAX. IF YOU DEPEND ON YOURSELF, IT IS VERY ARDUOUS. 

                        THAT'S WHY I SAY IF YOU DEPEND ON YOURSELF, IF YOU DEPEND ON YOU EFFORT, YOU MAY NEVER BACK BECAUSE IT IS THROUGH EFFORT THAT YOU HAVE GONE AWAY. YOU HAVE TO SURRENDER. IN THAT VERY SURRENDERING, GRACE DESCENDS.

                       AND WHAT CAN YOU SURRENDER?WHAT HAVE YOU GOT? WHY ARE YOU SO AFRAID OF SURRENDER? YOU HAVE GOT ONLY DREAMS AND NOTHING ELSE, JUST SOAP-BUBBLES.

                     SURRENDER YOUR DREAMS AND THE TRUTH IS HERENOW. THAT'S WHY I SAY NOW OR NEVER .. BECAUSE EXISTENCE ALWAYS EXISTS IN THE NOW, AND THE MIND EXISTS IN THE THEN. EXISTENCE IS HERE AND THE MIND IS ALWAYS THERE, AND THEY NEVER MEET. HERE AND THE NEVER MEET, NOW AND THEN NEVER MEET . HERE AND THERE YOUR MIND, IT IS VERY RARE TO COME ACROSS A CONTEMPORARY.

                     SOMEBODY IS LIVING FIVE THOUSAND YEARS BACK, HE IS STILL PART OF THE DAYS OF RIG VEDA. HE IS STILL READING RIG VEDA. HE IS STILL FOLLOWING THE VEDIC RITUAL. FIVE THOUSAND YEAR HAVE PASSED, BUT HE HAS NOT COME HERE NOW. HE LIVES THERE IN THE DEAD, IN THE GONE, IN THE MEMORY.

THE GREAT SCIENTIST " OSHO"

 

                                          WHO IS "I"

                                                         

                              MY SELF OF LONG AGO

                                            👀👀👀

                    BEFORE BIRTH WE WERE NON-EXISTENCE, NO-SELF, AND WE SHALL BE SO AFTER DEATH AGAIN. THEREFORE WE ARE IN THIS CONDITION AT THE PRESENT MOMENT, WITHOUT  A THING IN THE WORLD WE CAN CALL OUR OWN-NOT EVEN OUR OWN SELVES. THIS GOES TO THE DEEPEST CORE OF THE PROBLEM.

                     DON'T DISPOSSESS THIGS - DISPOSSESS YOUR SELF, AND THEN THINGS ARE AUTOMATICALLY DISPOSSED. IF I AM NOT, THEN HOW CAN THE HOUSE BELONG TO ME? IF I AM NOT, THEN HOW CAN I POSSESS A WOMAN OR  A MAN? IF I AM NOT, THEN HOW CAN I POSSESS A CHILD? IF I AM NOT, THEN HOW IS POSSESSION POSSIBLE? THERE IS NOBODY TO POSSESS. SEE THE DIFFERENCE.

                    OTHER RELIGIONS HAVE SAID, RENOUNCE POSSESSION! BUDDHA SAYS, RENOUNCE THE POSSESSOR. CERTAINLY, IT GOES INFINITELY DEEPER. YOU CAN RENOUNCE THE POSSESSIONS, BUT THE POSSESSOR REMAINS, AND WITH THE POSSESSOR THE BLUEPRINT TO POSSESS AGAIN THE POSSESSOR WILL BRING HIS POSSESIVENESS BY THE BLACK DOOR.

                     YOU CAN SEE IT HAPPENING A MAN RENOUNCE HIS WORLDLY LIFE, MOVES TO A HIMALAYAN CAVE, BUT THEN HE POSSESSES THAT CAVE. AND IF SOMEBODY ELSE COMES AND STARTS LIVING IN THE CAVE, HE WILL THROW HIM OUT. HE WILL SAY, "GET OUT! THIS IS MY CAVE, AND THIS MAN HAS RENOUNCED HIS HOUSE, HIS WIFE, HIS CHILDREN. NOW THE SAME POSSESIVENESS HAS ENTERED IN A NEW FORM.

                      IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOU POSSESS, BUT IF YOU POSSESS THEN YOU REMAIN ON THE LEAKY ROAD,

                    DISPOSSESING THINGS DOES NOT MEAN ESCAPING FROM THINGS. THINGS ARE THERE, THEY WILL BE EVERYWHERE, IN THE HIMALAYAN CAVE ALSO THINGS WILL BE THERE, THE MOUNTAINS, THE TREES, AND YOU CAN START POSSESING THEM. IF YOU SIT UNDER A CERTAIN TREE, YOU START POSSESING IT. THIS IS YOUR TREE, NO OTHER ASCETIC CAN COME AND MEDITATE THERE, HE HAS TO FIND HIS OWN TREE OR YOU START POSSESING THE TEMPLES, THE MOSQUES, THE CHURCHES. OR YOU START POSSESING PHIOSOPHIES HINDU, CHRISTIAN, MOHAMMEDAN. OR YOU START POSSESING SCRIPTURES THE GITA, THE KORAN, THE BIBLE. OR YOU START POSSESING CONCEPTS OF GOD, "THIS IS MY CONCEPT OF GOD. YOUR CONEPT IS WRONG AND MY CONCEPT IS RIGHT.

                   BUDDHA CUTS THE ROOT. HE SAYS THERE IS NOBODY TO POSSESS. JUST SEE THE BEAUTY OF IT AND THE TREMENDOUS IMPORT OF IT. HE SIMPLY CUTS THE ROOT. HE DOES NOT CUT THE BRANCHES AND THE LEAVES, THEY WILL SUPPORT AGAIN, BECAUSE THE ROOTS REMAIN INTACT. CUT THE ROOT AND THE WHOLE TREE DIES. DON'T DROP POSSESSIONS, DROP THE POSSESSOR. AND THEN YOU CAN LIVE IN THE WORLD AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM. JUST LIVE IN THE WORLD AND DON'T POSSESS BECAUSE THERE IS NOBODY TO POSSESS.

                       THAT'S WHY I DON'T SAY TO MY SANNYASINS TO RENOUNCE THE WORLD. I SAY RENOUNCE THE EGO AND LIVE IN THE WORLD. THE WORLD CANNOT DO YOU ANY HIM. ALL THE HARM THAT HAPPENS HAPPENS THROUGH THE EGO. THAT'S WHAT BUDDHA CALLS, "SELF, IT IS HIS WORD FOR "EGO ATTA THE SELF.

                     MY SELF OF LONG AGO, IN NATURE NON-EXISTENT..

                   BUDDHA WORKED FOR SIX YEARS CONTINUOUSLY IN SEARCH OF THE SELF. YOU HAVE HEARD THE FAMOUS TEACHING OF ALL THE AGES. KNOW THYSELF? BUDDHA WORKED HARD. FOR SIX YEARS HE TRIED FROM EVERY NOOK AND CORNER, FROM EVERY ANGLE FROM EVERY POSSIBLE SIDE, TO PENETRATE INTO THIS REALITY OF THE SELF. BUT HE COULD NOT FIND IT. KNOW THYSELF, AND THE DAY YOU KNOW YOU WILL KNOW THERE IS NO SELF.

                   THAT DAY YOU HAVE KNOWN WHEN YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS NO SELF. THERE IS UTTER EMPTINESS INSIDE, ABSOLUTE EMPTINESS, SILENCE UNDISTURBED, VIRGIN SILENCE. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYBODY. IT IS JUST A DREAM.

                       IN THE NIGHT YOU DREAM AND THINK YOU HAVE BECOME AN EMPEROR. AND IN THE MORNING YOU FIND YOURSELF IN THE SAME OLD BED, AND YOU ARE NOT AN EMPEROR. BUT THE MIND CAN IMAGINE, THE MIND IS A GREAT IMAGINATIVE FORCE. THE SELF IS MIND'S IMAGINATION. IT DOES NO EXIST IN REALITY.

                 THOSE WHO HAVE PENETRATED DEEP INTO THEIR OWN BEING HAVE COME TO KNOW UTTER SILENCE. NOBODY HAS BEEN FOUND THERE. AND THAT IS THE GREATEST REALIZATION. TO FIND NOBODY THERE... THEN ALL PROBLEMS DISAPEAR, BECAUSE THE PROBLEM CREATOR HAS DISSAPEARED.

                                              ❤❤❤

                    MY SELF OF LONG AGO,

                           IN NATURE NON-EXISTENCE,

                    NOWHERE TO GO WHEN DEAD,

                             NOTHING AT ALL.

                                               ❤❤❤

PADA SHASTRA (FEET POWER)

                                  PADA SHASTRA

                   (THE POWER OF YOUR FEET)

                              IN INDIA, IT IS A TRADITION TO BOW DOWN AT THE FEET OF REALISED BEING OR A GURU. IS THERE ANY SIGNIFICANCE BEHIND THIS?

                          ANS : IN YOGA, THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED PADA SHASTRA. "PADA" MEANS "THE FOOT", PARTICULARLY THE SOLES OF THE FEET. IN MANY WAYS, ALL THE SWITCHES TO TURN ON ALMOST EVERYTHING IN YOU ARE THERE IN YOUR FEET, IF YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IT.

                     WHEN I COMES TO RECEIVING, YOUR HANDS ARE POWERFUL INSTRUMENTS, IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE, IF YOU TOUCH ANYTHING WITH YOUR HANDS, YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY KNOW WHAT IT IS. IF YOU TOUCH IT WITH YOUR SHOULDER OR YOUR BACK OR THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD, YOU WILL NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT IF YOU TOUCH IT WITH YOUR HAND, YOU WILL KNOW WHAT IT IS IMMEDIATELY, NOT JUST IN TERMS OF FEELING AND SENSATION - MUCH DEEPER PERCEPTION HAPPENS WITH YOUR HANDS.

                     BUT IF YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR ENERGIES TO SOMETHING, FEET ARE VERY POWERFUL INSTRUMENTS. AT ONE TIME, WE WERE TEACHING PEOPLE HOW TO MANIPULATE THE FEET TO CREATE DIFFERENT STATES OF EXPERIENCE - WHERE TO PRESS IF YOU WANT TO RELAX SOMEBODY, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE SOMEBODY BLISSFUL , IF YOU WANT TO MAKE SOMEBODY LOVING. ALL THE SEVEN DIFFERENT CHAKRAS ARE MANIFEST IN YOUR FEET. IF YOU KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THE FEET, YOU CAN DO MANY THINGS WITH THE WHOLE SYSTEM. TODAY, THEY CALL THIS REFLEXOLOGY, BUT THEY ARE TALKING ONLY ABOUT HEALTH. BECAUSE WE ARE INTERESTED IN LIFE, WE TALK IN TERMS OF EXPERIENCE.

                      ABOUT TOUCHING OR HOLDING FEET, FIRST OF ALL, THE ONE WHOSE FEET YOU ARE TOUCHING SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO GIVE, THEY SHOULD BE IN A CERTAIN LEVEL OF ENERGY. IF YOU ASK A PAPER FOR A LOAN. IT IS NO GOOD. IF YOU WANT TO ASK FOR A LOAN, YOU MUST ASK SOMEBODY WHO HAS CASH TO DISPENSE. IF YOU GO AND ASK FOR A LOAN FROM A BANKRUPT OR A KANJOOS, THERE IS NO POINT. YOU KNOW WHAT A KANJOOS MEANS? LESS "JUICE". YOU DON'T ASK SOMEBODY WHO IS JUICELESS OR SOMEBODY WHO IS STINGY. YOU ONLY ASK SOMEBODY WHO IS PLENTIFUL AND WILLING TO GIVE.

                      YOU DON'T GO AND HOLD SOMEBODY'S FEET WHEN HE HIMSELF IS BANKRUPT. IF HE IS BURSTING WITH ENERGIES AND HE IS WILLING TO SHARE, THERE IS A CERTAIN WAY TO CONNECT, LIKE A PLUG POINT. PLUG POINTS COME IN DIFFERENT WAYS. IF YOU WANT TO CONNECT TO THAT PARTICULAR PLUG POINT, YOU NEED A PARTICULAR KING OF PLUG.

                       IN MANY HOMES, YOU HAVE A TRAITION OR HABIT OF TOUCHING THE FEET OF YOUR ELDERS. PROBABLY IN SOUTH INDIA IT IS GONE, BUT IN NORTH INDIA IT IS STILL VERY MUCH THERE BECAUSE OF THE VEDIC CULTURE. WHEN THEY SEE A FATHER, A MOTHER , UNCLE, OR AYBODY ELDER TO THEM. THE FIRST THING THEY DO IS TOUCH THEIR FEET. THAT IS ONLY TO OFFFER YOUR RESPECTS TO THEM, NOT TO RECEIVE YOUR UNCLE'S ENERGY! WHEN YOU SEE A DEITY, THERE IS ANOTHER WAY OF DOINT IT. IF YOU DO NAMASKAR OR PROSTRATION TO A POWERFUL BEING, NOT SPIRITUALLY EVOLVED BUT POWERFUL IN HIS OWN WAY, THERE IS ANOTHER WAY OF DOING IT. I DON'T WANT TO GO INTO THESE TECHNOLOGIES. I CAN TELL YOU THE OTHER THREE, BUT I DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU HOW TO BOW DOWN TO A GURU. WHICHEVER WAY YOU FEEL, YOU DO IT THAT WAY BECAUSE I DON'T WANT MY LEGS PULLED AND HELD ALL THE TIME!.

THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF THOUGHTS AND BREATH

                              THE IMPORTANT FACT

                               ABOUT  OUR BREATH

                                                                         ❤❤

                          I WANT TO ASK A QUESTION REGARDING BREATHING. SOME MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS SAY, "BREATH IS AN INVOLUNTARY ACTION. JUST BREATHE NORMALLY". SOME OF YOGA PEOPLE SAY, "BREATHE DEEPLY, IT HELPS YOU TO BE EFFECTIVE". WHAT IS THE REAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS?

                  ANS : WHAT YOU ARE ASKING IS ESSENTIALLY, HOW IS BREATH CONNECTED TO YOUR WELLBEING? BREATH IS NOT JUST THE EXCHANGE OF OXYGEN AND CARBON DIOXIDE. HOW YOU BREATHE DECIDES MANY ASPECTS OF WHO YOU ARE RIGHT NOW. HAVE YOU NOTICED, FOR DIFFERENT LEVELS OF THOUGHT AND EMOTION THAT YOU GO THROUGH, YOUR BREATH TAKES ON DIFFERENT TYPES OF PATTERNS? IF YOU ARE ANGRY, YOU BREATHE IN ONE WAY. IF YOU ARE PEACEFUL, YOU BREATHE ANOTHER WAY. IF YOU ARE VERY HAPPY, YOU BREATHE ANOTHER WAY. IF YOU ARE SAD, YOU BREATHE ANOTHER WAY. WHICHEVER WAY YOU BREATHE, THAT IS THE WAY YOU THINK. WHICHEVER WAY YOU THINK, THAT IS THE WAY YOU BREATHE.

                      THIS BREATHE CAN BE USED IN SO MANY WAYS AS A TOOL TO DO OTHER THINGS WITH THE BODY AND THE MIND. WITH THE SHAMBHAVI", WE USE A VERY SIMPLE PROCESS OF BREATH, BUT IT IS NOT ABOUT THE BREATH. BREATH IS JUT A TOOL, IT IS JUST AN INDUCTION. WHAT HAPPENS IS NOT ABOUT THE BREATH. PRANAYAM IS THE SCIENCE WHERE, BY CONSCIOUSLY BREATHING IN A PARTICULAR WAY, THE VERY WAY YOU THINK, FEEL AND UNDERSTAND AND EXPERIENCE LIFE CAN BE CHANGED.

                  IF I ASK YOU TO WATCH YOUR BREATH, WHICH IS THE MOST COMMON PRACTICE PEOPLE DO THESE DAYS, YOU THINK YOU ARE WATCHING THE BREATH, BUT ACTUALLY YOU ARE NOT. YOU ARE ONLY ABLE TO NOTICE THE SENSATIONS CAUSED BY THE MOVEMENT OF AIR.IT IS LIKE, IF SOMEONE TOUCHES YOUR HAND, YOU THINK YOU KNOW THE TOUCH OF THE OTHER PERSON, BUT ACTUALLY YOU ONLY KNOW THE SENSATIONS GENERATED WITHIN YOUR BODY, YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW THE OTHER PERSON FEELS.

                    BREATHE IS LIKE THE HAND OF THE DIVINE. YOU DON'T FEEL IT. THIS BREATH THAT YOU DO NOT EXPERIENCE IS REFERED TO AS KOORMA NADI. I AM NOT REFERRING TO THE SENSATIONS CAUSED BY THE AIR, I AM REFERRING TO THE BREATH ITSELF. KOORMA NADI IS REFERRED TO AS A STRING WHICH TIES YOU WITH THIS BODY - AN UNBROKEN STRING THAT GOES ON AND ON. IF I TAKE AWAY YOUR BREATH, YOU AND YOUR BODY WILL FALL APART BECAUSE THE BEING AND THE BODY ARE BOUND BY THE KOORMA NADI. THIS IS A BIG DECEPTION. THERE ARE TWO, BUT THEY ARE PRETENDING TO BE ONE. IT IS LIKE MARRIAGE - THEY ARE TWO, BUT WHEN THEY COME OUT THE PRETEND TO BE ONE. THERE ARE TWO PEOPLE HERE, THE BODY AND BEING, TWO DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSITE ONES, BUT THEY PRETEND THAT THEY ARE ONE.

                    IF YOU TRAVEL THROUGH THE BREATH, DEEP INTO YOURSELF, TO THE DEEPEST CORE OF THE BREATH, IT WILL TAKE YOU TO THAT POINT WHERE ARE YOU ACTUALLY TIED TO THE BODY. ONCE YOU KNOW WHERE ARE TIED AND HOW YOU ARE TIED, YOU CAN UNTIE IT AT WILL. CONSCIOUSLY, YOU CAN SHED THE BODY AS EFFORTLESSLY AS YOU WOULD SHED YOUR CLOTHES.

                   WHEN YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CLOTHES ARE TIED, IT IS EASY TO DROP THE. WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS TIED, WHICHEVER WAY YOU PULL, IT DOES NOT COME OFF. THE SAME APPLIES TO THE BODY.

                    IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW YOUR CLOTHES ARE TIES, IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THEM OFF, YOU HAVE TO TEAR THEM APRT. SIMILARLY, IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOUR BODY IS TIED TO YOU, IF YOU WANT TO DROP IT, YOU HAVE TO DAMAGE OR BREAK IT IN SOME WAY. BUT IF YOU KNOW WHERE IT IS TIED, YOU CAN VERY CLEARLY HOLD IT AT A DISTANCE. WHEN YOU WANT TO DROP IT, YOU CAN JUST DROP IT CONSCIOUSLY. LIFE BECOMES VERY DIFFERENT.

                  WHEN SOMEBODY WILLFULLY SHEDS THE BODY COMPLETELY, WE SAY THIS IS MAHASAMADHI. THIS IS WHAT IS GENERALLY REFERRED TO AS MUKTI, OR ULTIMATE LIBERATION. YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT A GREAT SENSE OF EQUANIMITY WEHRE THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT IS INSIDE THE BODY AND WHAT IS OUTSIDE THE BODY. THE GAME IS UP.

                 THIS IS SOMETHING THAT EVERY YOGI IS LONGING FOR, AND THIS IS SOMETHING EVERY HUMAN BEING IS WORKING TOWARDS, WHETHER THEY ARE DOING IT CONSCIOUSLY OR NOT. IN SOME WAY, THEY WANT TO EXPAND, AND THIS IS THE ULTIMATE EXPANSION. IT IS JUST THAT THEY ARE GOING TOWARDS THE INFINITE IN INSTALLMENTS, WHICH IS A VERY LONG AND IMPOSSIBLE PROCESS. IF YOU COUNT - 1,2,3,4- YOU WILL ONLY BECOME ENLESS COUNTING. YOU WILL NEVER REACH THE INFINITE. WHEN ONE REALIZES THE FUTILITY OF THIS, HE NATURALLY TURNS INWARDS TO DO THIS BY UNTYING THE LIFE PROCESS FROM THE BODY.

THE COSMO ENERGY

 

                       THE GEOMETRY OF THE COSMOS

                                                                  ❤❤❤

                  👉👀

                         THE WHOLE SCIENCE OF YOGA IS TO UNDERSTAND THE GEOMETRY OF YOUR EXISTENCE, BECAUSE THE WHOLE EXISTENCE IS A CERTAIN KIND OF GEOMETRY, AND YOUR BODY IS ALSO A CERTAIN KIND OF GEOMETRY".

                   CREATION IS A CERTAIN COMPLEXITY OF GEOMETRY. THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IS GEOMETRICALLY PERFECT. THAT IS WHY IT STAYS THERE, OTHERWISE IT WOULD NOT. IF YOU LEARN TO HOLD YOUR BODY IN A CERTAIN WAY, IF THE GEOMETRY OF YOUR BODY IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE GEOMETRY OF THE REST OF THE CREATION, SUDDENLY, YOU WILL FIND THERE IS A RAPPORT WHICH WILL ALLOW YOU TO DOWNLOAD THE WHOLE COSMOS.

                👉👀

                 THESE DAYS, SINCE "TATA SKY" AND "DISHNET" HAVE COME, THIS PROBLEM IS PROBABLY GONE FOR YOU, BUT BEFORE THAT, AFTER EVERY RAIN SHOWER, YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO AND ADJUST YOUR TV ANTENNA PROPERLY. YOU WOULD BE WATCHING YOUR FAVOURITE SOAP OPERA OR A CRICKET MATCH AND SUDDENLY THE IMAGE WOULD BE GONE. YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO UP AND FINE TUNE IT, OTHERWISE IT WOULD NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING. ONLY IF YOUR ANTENNA IS IN A CERTAIN WAY, YOU HAVE RECEPTION.

                   THIS BODY IS JUST LIKE THAT. YOU ARE HERE TO PERCEIVE THE EXISTENCE. IF YOU HOLD IT RIGHT WAY, IN THE RIGHT GEOMETRY, THIS CAN RECEIVE AND DOWNLOAD THE WHOLE COSMIC SPACE. TO HOLD IT IN A CERTAIN WAY, YOU MUST KEEP THE BODY IN A STATE OF EASE. OTHERWISE, IF IT IS IN A STATE OF RIGIDITY OR COMPULSION, YOU CANNOT GET INTO THAT PLACE WHERE IT BECOMES A RECEPTACLE OF THE EXISTENCE - IT WILL BLOCK IT AND NOT ALLOW IT GO HAPPEN.

                     WITHIN YOUR OWN HOME AND OFFICE, AMONG YOUR FRIENDS, DO YOU SEE EVERY ONE OF YOU HAVE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF PERCEPTION? I WANT YOU TO JUST OBSERVE THIS - DON'T TALK ABOUT THIS - IF YOU FIND SOMEBODY AMONG YOUR FRIENDS OR FAMILY WHO HAS A BETTER PERCEPTION THAN OTHERS, YOU CAN SEE A VISIBLE DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY ARE NOT GETTING ANYTHING, SEE HOW THEY CONDUCT THEIR BODY. YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN BY GEOMETRY OF YOUR EXISTENCE. THE WAY YOU HOLD YOUR BODY WILL DETERMINE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU.

                    THE WHOLE YOGIS SYSTEM IS, IN A WAY, ABOUT ADJUSTIN THE GEOMETRY OF THE BODY SO THAT IT BECOMES AN ABSOLUTE ANTENNA FOR THE EXISTENCE TO HAPPEN WITHIN YOU, NOT OUTSIDE OF YOU. YOU CANNOT KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING OUTSIDE OF YOU, YOU ONLY KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING OUTSIDE OF YOU. ONLY IF YOU PERCEIVE IT YOU DO NOT KNOW. SO, IF YOU WANT TO ENHANCE YOUR PERCEPTION, YOU HAVE TO REFINE THE GEOMETRY OF YOUR BODY. YOGA IS JUST THAT.

                     TO LEARN TO SIMPLY SIT, DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOGA YOU HAVE TO DO? A LOT OF TRAINING IS NEEDED FOR A PERSON JUST TO BE ABLE TO SIT IN THE RIGHT POSTURE TO DO A PARTICULAR KIND OF ACT. IF YOU SO MUCH AS JUST MOVE THE HANDS AND LEGS, IT CHANGES EVERYTHING. THE HANDS AND LEGS ARE VERY IMPORTANT. EVEN MEDICALLY, YOU KNOW THAT THE MAXIMUM NERVE-ENDINGS ARE IN THE HANDS AND LEGS. THE MEDICL SYSTEM ACKNOWLEDGES THAT YOUR NERVES ARE TRANSMITTING PERCEPTION.

                 YOUR PERCEPTION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. DID YOU PERCEIVE EVERYTHIG THAT A HUMAN BEING CAN PERCEIVE OR DID YOU GO UNLIVED ? THAT IS ALL THE QUESTION IS FOR ME. HOW LONG YOU LIVED IS NOT AT ALL IMPORTANT, ISN'T IT? IF YOU WANT TO PERCEIVE EVERYTHING, YOU MUST LEARN TO ARRANGE THE GEOMETRY OF YOUR SYSTEM PROPERLY. THAT IS WHY WE START OFF WITH ASANAS, MUDRAS, AND KRIYAS - TO ARRANGE THE ENERGY GEOMETRY OF YOUR SYSTEM IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT BECOMES CAPABLE OF EXPERIENCING THE COSMOS ITSELF.
