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.

                      ISHA KRIYA IS A SIMPLE YET POTENT PRACTICE ROOTED IN THE TIMELESS WISDOM OF THE YOGIC SCIENCE.

                                    PREPARATION

                    👉👀❤

                     SIT FACING EAST IN A CROSS-LEGGED POSTURE, WITH YOUR SPINE COMFORTABLY ERECT.

                    KEEP YOUR HANDS UPON YOUR THIGHS, WITH YOUR PALMS FACING UP.

                    WITH YOUR FACE SLIGHTLY UPTURNED, EYES CLOSED, KEEP A MILD FOCUS BETWEEN YOUR EYEBROWS.

                           THE MEDITATION

                      👉👀❤

                            THIS MEDITATION HAPPENS IN THREE STAGES :

                     STAGE 1

                      INHALE AND EXHALE GENTLY, SLOWLY.

                    WITH EACH INHALATION, MENTALLY SAY TO YOURSELF, "I AM NOT THE BODY". THE INHALATION SHOULD LAST THE WHOLE DURATION OF THAT THOUGHT.

                   WITH EACH EXHALATION, MENTALLY SAY TO YOURSELF, "I AM NOT EVEN THE MIND". THE EXHALATION SHOULD LAST FOR THE WHOLE DURATION OF THAT THOUGHT.

                  REPEAT THIS FOR 7 TO 11 MINUTES.

              STAGE 2

                        👉👀❤

                        UTTERL A LONG "A" SOUND (AS THE "A" IN FATHER) . THE SOUND SHOULD COME FROM JUST BELOW THE NAVEL. YOU NEED NOT UTTER IT VERY LOUD, BUT LOUD ENOUGH TO FEEL THE VIBRATION.

                          UTTER THE LONG "A" SOUND 7 TIMES, EXHALING FULLY INTO EACH SOUND.

                  STAGE 3

                       👉👀❤

                        SIT FOR 5 TO 6 MINUTES WITH A SLIGHTLY UPTURNED FACE, AND KEEP A MILD FOCUS BETWEEN YOUR EYEBROWS.

                          THE TOTAL TIME OF THIS PRACTICE IS BETWEEN 12 TO 18 MINUTES. YOU CAN SIT LONGER IF YOU WANT.

                 PLEASE NOTE  👉👀❤

                      WHILE YOU SIT FOR THE ISHA KRIYA, DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE ACTIVITY OF THE MIND OR BODY. WHATEVER IS HAPPENING IN YOUR BODY OR YOUR MIND, JUST IGNORE IT AND SIMPLY SIT THERE.

                     DO NOT TAKE A BREAK IN BETWEEN, AS IT WILL DISTURB THE REORGANIZATION OF ENERGIES THAT HAPPENS DURING THE PRACTICE.

                  EACH TIME YOU DO THE KRIYA, YOU MUST DO IT FOR A MINIMUM OF 12 MINUTES, AND TWICE A DAY FOR 48 DAYS (CONSIDERED AS A FULL MANDALA OR CYLCE), OR ONCE A DAY FOR 90 DAYS. THIS IS YOUR COMMITMENT. THIS IS YOUR GURUDAKSHINA (A TRADITIONAL OFFERING A GURU).

                 ANYONE CAN PRACTICE THIS KRIYA AND ENJOY ITS BENEFITS. SIMPLY FOLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS WITHOUT MAKING ANY CHANGES. THIS IS A SIMPLE BUT VERY POTENT KRIYA.

                 YOU CAN REMIND YOURSELF THAT "I AM NOT THE BODY.  I AM NOT EVEN THE MIND" ANYTIME DURING THE DAY.

THE OUT OF THE MIND- "BUDDHA"

 

                          HOW TO HANDLE THE MIND 

                                                                            👀👀

                      THROUGH THE PRACTICE OF YOGA, HOW CAN ONE TRANSCEND THE MIND?💫💫

             👉❤

                      ANS: THE WHOLE PROCESS OF YOGA IS TO TRANSCEND THE LIMITATIONS OF THE MIND. AS LONG AS YOU ARE IN MIND, YOU ARE RULED BY THE PAST, IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT LIFE ONLY THROUGH THE MIND, THEN YOU WILL MAKE YOUR FUTURE JUST LIKE THE PAST, NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS. ISN'T THE WORLD ENOUGH PROOF OF THAT? IF DOES NOT MATTER WHAT OPPORTUNITIES COME OUR WAY THROUGH SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGYAND MANY OTHER THINGS, AREN'T WE REPEATING THE SAME HISTORICAL SCENES AGAIN AND AGAIN?

                      IF YOU TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT YOUR OWN LIFE, YOU WILL SEE THE SAME REPETITION HAPPENING, BECAUSE AS LONG AS YOU ARE FUNCTIONING ONLY OLD DATA. THE PAST IS CARRIED ONLY IN YOUR MIND. ONLY BECAUSE YOUR MIND IS ACTIVE, PAST EXISTS. SUPPOSE ALL YOUR MIND CEASES RIGHT NOW, ONLY PRESENT, BUT PAST EXITS THROUGH OUR MINDS. OR IN OTHER WORDS, MIND IS KARMA. IF YOU TRANSCEND THE MIND, YOU TRANSCEND THE KARMIC BONDAGE ALTOGETHER, IN ONE STROKE. IF YOU WANT TO SOLVE THEM ONE BY ONE, IT MAKE A MILLION YEARS. IN THE PROCESS OF SOLVING, YOU ARE ALSO BUILDING NEW STOCK OF KARMA.

           👉❤

              YOUR OLD STOCK OF KARMA IS NOT THE PROBLME AT ALL. YOU SHOULD LEARN HOW NOT TO CREATE NEW STOCK. THAT IS THE MAIN THING. OLD STOCK WILL WEAR OUT BY ITSELF, NO BIG THINGS NEED TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. BUT THE FUNDAMENTAL THING IS YOU LEARN HOW NOT TO CREATE NEW STOCK. THEN, LEAVING THE OLD STOCK IS VERY SIMPLE.

                     ONCE YOU LEARN HOW NOT TO USE THE MIND AND SIMPLY LOOK AT LIFE, IT IS THE ULTIMATE GAME YOU CAN PLAY, BECAUSE THE ULTIMATE BECOMES AVAILABLE TO YOU ONLY THROUGH THAT. THROUGH THE DISTORTIONS OF THE MIND, YOU CANNOT PERCEIVE ANYTHING.

                      👉❤

                    HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE WORD "BUDDHA"? WHEN I SAY "BUDDHA" YOU ARE ALWAYS THINKING OF THAT PARTICULAR MAN - GAUTAMA THE BUDDHA. GAUTAMA IS NOT THE ONLY BUDDHA, THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF BUDDHAS ON THIS PLANET, AND THERE STILL ARE. HIS SECOND NAME IS NOT BUDDHA, HE IS GAUTAMA SIDDHARTHA. HE BECAME A BUDDHA.

                WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BECOME A BUDDHA? "BU" MEANS "BUDDHI" THE INTELLECT. ONE WHO IS ABOVE HIS INTELLECT IS A BUDDHA. ONE WHO IS IN HIS INTELLECT IS A NON-STOP SUFFERING HUMAN BEING. NO MATTER WHAT IS HAPPENING, HIS ANXIETIES, HIS FEARS, HIS NONSENSE, HIS CONFUSION WILL NEVER GO AWAY AS LONG AS HE IS IN THE INTELLECT.

                     👉❤

                    HAVE YOU NOTICED THIS? NO MATTER HOW WELL YOU ARE PLACED, CONSTANLY THE MIND IS STRUGGLE. YOU THINK EVERYTHING IS PERFECT, BUT YOU TURN BACK AND SEE, YOUR ANXIETIES AND YOUR FEARS ARE SITTING RIGHT THERE BEHIND YOU LIKE YOUR TAIL. IT FOLLOWS YOU WHEREVER YOU GO. YOU LOOK AT THE SUNRISE AND YOU FORGET ABOUT EVERYTHING, BUT WHEN YOU TURN BACK AND SEE, IT IS RIGHT THERE. IF YOU WERE BELOW THE MIND, YOU WOULD NOT KNOW THIS KIND OF SUFFERING.

                  IT IS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE UNABLE TO BEAR THE TORTURE OF THE MIN THAT THEY HAVE DEVISED MANY WAYS IN SOCIETY TO GO BELOW THE MIND. EXCESSIVE EATING, ALCOHOL, EXCESSIVE INDULGENCE IN PHYSICAL PLEASURES, THESE ARE WAYS TO GO BELOW THE MIND. PEOPLE USE THEM AND FOR A FEW MOMENTS THEY CAN FORGET THE TORTURE. YOU HIT THE BOTTEL AND SLEEP. FOR A FEW HOURS, YOUR MIND DOES NOT BOTHER YOU ANY MORE  BECAUSE YOU HAVE GONE BELOW THE MIND. THERE IS A GREAT PLEASURE AND IT IS SO RELAXING BECAUSE SUDDENLY, THE TORTURES OF YOUR MIND ARE NOT THERE. SO YOU GET DEEPLY ADDICTED TO IT. BUT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GOING BACK. IF YOU GO BELOW THE MIND BY USING A CHEMICAL, LIFE ALWAYS CATCHES UP WITH YOU WITH MORE INTENSITY AFTER THAT IS OVER, SUFFERING INTENSIFIES.

                       👉❤

                     ONCE YOU HAVE THIS DISTANCE, YOUR ABILITY TO USE THE MIND IS TREMENDOUSLY ENHANCED. SO IF SOMEONE SAYS, "YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR MIND", DON'T FEEL INSULTED. IT IS THE HIGHEST COMPLIMENT. THEY ARE SAYING YOU ARE A BUDDHA. PEOPLE USUALLY UNDERSTAND "OUT OF THE MIND" AS MADNESS. MADNESS IS OF THE MIND. AS LONG AS YOU ARE IN THE MIND, YOU CANNOT ESCAPE THE MADNESS. YOU MAY EITHER BE IN SOCIALLY ACCEPTED LEVELS OF MADNESS OR YOU MAY CROSS THAT SOCIALLY ACCEPTED LEVEL, BUT SOME LEVEL OF MADNESS IS GOING ON IN EVERYONE. IF YOU ARE OUT OF THE MIND, CAN YOU BE MAD? ONLY IF YOU ARE OUT OF THE CIRCUS OF YOUR MIND, YOU WILL BE HUNDRED PERCENT FREE OF MADNESS.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HALLUCINATION AND REALITY

                     HALLUCINATION AND REALITY!

                                                 💫

                    HOW DOES WE KNOW SPIRITUAL PATH OF 

                       HALLUCINATING OR REALITY? 

                                                                              ❤❤

                             HOW DOES ONE KNOW WHETHER THEY ARE HALLUCINATING OR EXPERIENCING REALITY, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE ON THE SPIRITUAL PATH?👀👀

                       REALITY CAN BE MUCH MORE UNREAL THAN HALLUCINATION. WHAT NEUROSCIENTISTS AND PHYSICISTS ARE TALKING TODAY IS FAR MORE FAIRYTALE-ISH THAN ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE KNOWN AS FAIRY TALES. IT IS SO FREAKISH AND OUTLANDISH. WHENEVER YOGIS SPOKE ABOUT THIS, PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING GREAT. IT IS JUST PERCEPTION, THEY JUST DESCRIBED WHAT THEY SAW.

                       HALLUCINATION MEANS YOU ARE MAKING IT UP SO POWERFUL THAT YOU BELIEVE IT - THAT IS DANGEROUS. IF YOU ARE GENUINELY HALLUCINATING, IT MEANS YOU ARE MAKING UP THINGS SO POWERFULLY 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 WHOLE SCIENCE OF TANTRA YOGA IS JUST THIS. I KNOW IF I UTTER THE WORD "TANTRA" PEOPLE ARE THINKING ABOUT ACROBATIC SEXUALITY. IT IS TRULY A SCRILEGE THAT PEOPLE WHO GENERALLY VISIT INDIA FOR A MONTH OR TWO AT THE MOST, BECOME "EXPERTS" IN TANTRA AND WRITE BOOKS ABOUT IT.

                         TANTRA LITERALLY MEANS " A TECHNOLOGY". TECHNOLOGY IS MEANT FOR CREATING WHAT YOU WANT. THE PHYSICAL TECHNOLOGIES THAT WE KNOW AROUND US ARE ALL ABOUT CREATING PHYSICAL SITUATIONS THE WAY WE WANT IT. WHEN HUMAN MINDS TRY TO CREATE WHAT THEY WANT, THEY WILL ASK FOR MANY THINGS. MOST OF THE TIME, YOU WOULD BE FORTUNATE IF YOUR PRAYERS ARE NOT ANSWERED BECAUSE IF ALL YOUR PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED, YOUR LIFE WOULD BE TRULY A DISASTER.

                       IMAGINATION CAN DO MIRACULOUS THINGS. IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH CONTROL OVER YOUR LIFE ENERGIES AND CAN EMPOWER YOUR IMAGINATION, IT WILL BECOME A REALITY. THERE ARE MANY YOGIS WHO LIVE IN THEIR OWN WORLDS WITH THEIR OWN KIND OF PLANETS, EARTH, EVERYTHING. THEY LIVE IN A CAVE, BUT THEY HAVE USED THEIR IMAGINATION AND THEIR LIFE ENERGIES TO CREATE A WHOLE NEW DIMENSION OF LIFE. HE LIVES THERE HAPPILY. A UNIVERSE IS CONTAINED INSIDE THE CAVE.

                       YOU CAN ACTUALLY WALK THROUGH IT. THIS IS WHAT MODERN PHYSICISTS ARE ALSO TELLING YOU. YOU CAN CREATE MULTIPLE REALITIES IN THE SAME PLACE RIGHT HERE. TODAY, NEUROSCIENTISTS ARE SAYING THERE ARE MANY DIMENSIONS OF REALITIES HAPPENING RIGHT HERE, AND IN YOUR PERCEPTION, A COMPLEX PERCEPTION OF ALL THIS IS HAPPENING, BUT YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO COMPUTE IT AND MAKE IT INTO A SENSBILE PICTURE.

                     THE INDIVIDUAL IDENFICATION HAS BECOME SO STRONG THAT IT HAS COMPLETELY DISLOCATED THE HUMAN BEING FROM HIS ORIGINAL NATURE, AND HE HAS STOPPED OPERATING AS LIFE. IF HE OPERATES AS JUST LIFE AND LIFE ALONE, HIS CAPABILITIES ARE IMMENSE AND NO LONGER LIMITED TO WHAT IS CONTAINED WITHIN HIS PHYSICAL FORM, BECAUSE HE HAS ACCESS TO EVERYTHING. THE WHOLE TANTRA YOGA IS ABOUT THIS, ABOUT BREAKING THE INDIVIDUAL SHELL SO THAT WHAT YOU DO DOES NOT HAPPEN AS A PETTY INDIVIDUALS, BUT HAPPEN AS A WHOLE.

                  THIS IS IMAGINATION. ACCORDING TO MODERN PHYSICS AND NEUROSCIENCES, THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN IMAGINATION AND HALLUCINATION IS VERY THIN, BUT THERE IS A DISTINCTION. THE DISTINCTION IS JUST THIS - YOU HAVE IMAGINATION WHICH IS UNCONSCIOUS, NOT A CONSCIOUS PROCESS. IF YOU COULD DO THE SAME HALLUCINATION CONSCIOUSLY AND EMPOWER IT WITH YOUR ENERGY, IT CAN BECOME REALITY.

                    WHAT IS HALLUCINATION, WHAT IS REALITY? IF YOU WANT A DISTINCTION, THE IMPORTANT OR THE NEGATIVE ASPECT OF HALLUCINATION IS THAT IT IS GOING UNCONTROLLED, IT IS NOT CONSCIOUS. IT CAN TAKE YOU ANYWHERE AND DESTROY YOUR YOUR LIFE BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER WHAT YOU ARE IMAGINING. THAT IS THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOT EMPOWERED BY LIFE ENERGY, SO IT IS TAKING FROM REALITY. IT IS NOT ESTABLISHING YOU INTO REALITY NOR IS IT HELPING YOU TO CREATE ANOTHER REALITY. IT IS JUST TAKING YOU AWAY FROM REALITY - THAT IS THE DANGER OF HALLUCINATION. IF YOU COULD CONTROL YOUR HALLUCINATION, IF YOU CAN HAVE ONLY BEAUTIFUL HALLUCINATION, WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT? YOU COULD HALLUCINATE ALL THE TIME. BUT THE PROBLEM IS YOU ARE UNABLE TO CONTROL THE HALLUNICINATION, SO IT WILL GO WHICHEVER WAY IT GOES. TODAY IT WILL BE WONDERFUL, TOMORROW IT CAN TAKE YOU INTO THE DUMPS, AND AFTER SOME TIME IT IS TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL. THAT AMOUNTS TO MADNESS.

                           WHEN YOU ARE DOING SPIRITUAL PRACTICES, HOW TO KNOW WHETHER YOU ARE HALLUCINATING OR WHETHER IT IS REAL? IF THERE IS A DOUNT THAT YOU ARE HALLUCINATING, IT IS BETTER THAT THE BENEFIT OF DOUBT IS GIVEN TO HALLUCINATION THAN TO YOUR EXPERIENCE, BECAUSE IF THERE IS A GENUINE EXPERIENCE, SOME TRANSFORMATION WILL HAPPEN BY ITSELF. IF IT IS HALLUCINATION IT IS ANYWAY A WASTE OF TIME. SO IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT, IT IS BETTER TO SIMPLY SEE THAT YOU ARE HALLUCINATING BECAUSE ONCE YOU START CREDITING HALLUCINATION AS REAL, THEN YOU WILL HAVE NO CONTROL OVER IT. IT WILL JUST GO WILD.

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".
