THE FACT ABOUT COLLECTIVE KARMA!

 

                           THE INTERESTING FACT 

                                     ABOUT KARMA!

                                                            💫❤💫

                      IN LOSING AWARENESS OF SELF IS THE TRAP OF 

                KARMA. THE HUNTER BECOMES THE HUNTED, THE

                            ARCHITECT BECOMES CREATION. A SPIDER TRAPPED

               IN A WEB OF ITS OWN MAKING IS A TRAGEDY.

                                                             💫❤💫

                                                                  👉❤👉

                           WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU MEAN BY COLLECTIVE KARMA? HOW DOES INDIVIDUAL KARMA INTEREST WITH COLLECTIVE KARMA?

                 ANS : THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU ARE THINKING AGAIN IN TERMS OF THE INDIVIDUAL AS SEPARATE FROM EVERYTHING ELSE. THERE IS NO SUCH THING.

                 TODAY, PSYCHOLOGISTS SPEACK OF THAT ASPECT OF THE INDIVIDUAL UNCONSCIOUS THAT IS CONNECTED WITH A LARGER COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS. THIS IS WHAT WE MEAN BY COLLECTIVE KARMA. BECAUSE WE PERFORM CERTAIN ACTIONS, KARMA ACCUMULATE. THIS HAS INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE CONSEQUENCES.

                   IMAGINE A POND FULL OF WATER. YOU GO THERE AND SCOOP OUT A BLUCKETFUL OF WATER. THEN YOU SCOOP OUT ANOTHER. IS THE FIRST BUCKTETFUL AND DIFFERENT FROM THE SECOND? CAN YOU SPEAK OF "THIS"  WATER AND "THAT" WATER? IT IS THE SAME WITH LIFE. YOU CANNOT SPEAK OF "THIS" LIFE AND "THAT" LIFE.

                                                              👉❤👉

                  AT THIS MOMENT, IF YOU ARE WILLING, THE KARMA OF ADIYOGI, THE FIRST YOGI AND FIRST GURU, CAN BECOME YOURS. IT HAS ALREADY BECOME OURS IN SO MANY WAYS. THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS HE ACHIEVED THROUGH HIS KARMA THAT WE ARE MAKING USE OF TODAY. IT HAS BECOME OUR KARMA. YOU MAY NEVER HAVE GONE THROUGH THE SADHANA HE UNDERWENT, BUT YOU CAN ENJOY THE FRUITS OF HIS KARMA BECAUSE IT IS SIMPLE THERE, AVAILABLE TO ALL.

                   SO THERE IS JUST ONE COMMON KARMA, BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE COMMON EXISTENCE. BUT BASED ON YOUR QUALITY, YOU ATTRACT A PARTICULAR KIND OF KARMA TO YOURSELF. THE MOMENT OF DEATH IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT IN DETERMINING THE KIND OF QUALITY YOU HAVE AND THE KIND OF KARMA YOU ATTRACT. SO IF YOU DIE IN ANGER, IN HATRED, IN MISERY OR IN PAIN, YOU ATTRACT ONE KIND OF KARMA. IF YOU DIE IN PEACE OR BLISSFULNESS, YOU ATTRACT ANOTHER KIND OF KARMA.

                                                                👉❤👉

                  IN THE LAST OF FORTY SECONDS OF A PERSON'S LIFETIME, MANY LIFETIMES OF ACCUMULATED KARMA PLAY OUT IN FAST-FORWARD. IN THOSE CRUCIAL FORTY SECONDS, IF A PERSON MANAGES TO STAY AWARE, THEY CAN DROP LIFETIMES OF KARMA. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT KIND OF LIFE THEY HAVE LIVED. IF THEY ARE IN A CONSECRATED SPACE, OR IF THEY HAVE LIVED. IF THEY ARE IN A CONSECRATED SPACE, OR IF THEY HAVE DONE SOME SPIRITUAL PRACTICE AND MANAGE TO STAY CONSCIOUS, THAT INTENSE PHASE WILL WIPE THEM CLEAN AND THEY CAN DISSOLVE THEIR KARMA ALTOGETHER.

                                                            👉❤👉

                    THIS IS WHY EVERY RELIGIOUS TRADITION PLACES AN EMPHASIS ON DYING IN PEACE. THIS IS SIMPLY BECAUSE THIS GIVES ONE A BETTER OPPORTUNITY THE NEXT TIME ROUND. DYING IN JOY OR LOVE IS A WONDERFUL WAY TO DIE. DYING IN WHAT THE YOGIC TRADITION CALLS THE SAMADHI STATE IS THE ULTIMATE WAY TO DIE. THIS MEANS THAT WHILE YOU ARE LIVING, YOU WALK CONSCIOUSLY INTO DEATH.

                       THE ENERGY HEALING METHOD!

                             

              PURE INTELLIGENCE CREATES MEMORY OUT OF ITSELF,

          THE REST OF CREATION PROJECTS MEMORY AS INTELLIGENCE.

                        SYSTEMS OF ENERGY HEALING'

                            ENERGY HEALING SYSTEMS HAVE GROWN VERY POPULAR IN THE WORLD TODAY. MY OWN TAKE ON THEM IS UNAMBIGUOUS. WHILE THE INTENTION TO HELP OTHERS IS A LAUDABLE ONE, IT IS JUVENILE TO THINK THAT YOU CAN HEAL SOMEONE ELSE BECAUSE YOU HAVE LEARNED TO HARNESS A LITTLE ENERGY IN YOUR HANDS.

                    WHAT MOST PEOPLE DO NOT REALIZE IS THAT WHEN YOU HEAL, YOU ARE ONLY APPEASING THE KARMIC EFFECT. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO TAKE AWAY THE CAUSE. IF YOU MERELY REMOVE THE EFFECT, THE CAUSE WILL TAKE EFFECT IN SOME OTHER WAY.

                       LET US SAY SOMEONE HAS ASTHMA. THAT IS THEIR KARMA. AS A HEALER, YOU LAY YOUR HANDS ON THEM. YOU MAY BE SUCCESSFUL IN REMOVING THE ASTHMA. NOW THE ASTHMA IS GONE, BUT THE CAUSE IS NOT GONE. IT MAY MANIFEST ITSELF IN SOME OTHER WAY. IT COULD BECOME AN ACCIDENT OR A HEART ATTACK. SO DO NOT EVER SEEK TO REMOVE THE EFFECT. THE EFFECT IS ONLY AN INDICATOR OF A PROBLEM, BY MERELY ERASING IT, YOU ARE ONLY ENABLING THE SEEDS OF THE PROBLEM TO MANIFEST IN SOME OTHER WAY.

                  WHEN THERE IS PAIN IN THE BODY, FOR INSTANCE, IT IS AN INDICATOR THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG. PAIN IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING AWARENESS TO YOUR SYSTEM SO YOU CAN INVESTIGATE WHAT IS WRONG. BUT IF YOU SIMPLY POP A PAINKILLER WITHOUT ATTENDING TO THE CAUSE, THE MAINSPRING OF THE AILMENT WILL KEEP GROWING, AND ONE DAY IT WILL STRIKE EVEN HARDER.

                       💫❤

                      THE ONLY WAY TO REMOVE A CAUSE IS TO TAKE IS UPON YOUR SYSTEM. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I WAS DOING THIS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE I WANTED TO DO SOME INTENSE ENERGY WORK WITH WERE STUCK IN CERTAIN CYCLES. THOSE TWO YEARS, I WAS A VERY SICK MAN. ONE DAY I WOULD HAVE AN ILLNESS, THE NEXT DAY I WOULD BE COMPLETELY HEALTHY. ONE MOMENT I WOULD BE ALL RIGHT, THE NEXT MOMENT I WOULD BE SO ILL THAT PEOLE WOULD THINK I WAS ABOUT TO DIE. THESE FLUCTUATIONS HAPPENED SIMPLY BECAUSE I WAS THROWING MY LIFE ENERGY AROUND LIBERALLY TO CREATE A CERTAIN BASIS FOR THE WORK I WAS DOING.

                     💫❤

                   BUT TODAY, IT IS ONLY ON RARE OCCASIONS THAT I DO THIS. I INTERVENE ONLY IF I SEE THAT THE PERSON HAS DROPPED EVERY IDENTIFICATION AND HAS ONLY SOME SMALL, NIGGLING KARMIC ISSUES LEFT. THIS INTERVENTION IS JUST TO GIVE THEM THE NEEDED PUSH TOWARD THEIR DESTINATION. OTHERWISE, AS A GURU, I NEVER INTERFERE WITH THE KARMIC PROCESS. I SIMPLY HELP HASTEN IT.

                               THE ULTIMATE GUIDANCE YOU CAN OFFER IS TO HELP SOMEONE TRANSCEND THEIR SUFFERING. THIS IS WHAT GREAT SAGES AND MYSTICS DOWN THE AGES HAVE DONE. THEY REMIND THE WORLD THAT THERE IS A WAY OUT OF SUFFERING. EVEN IF THERE IS PAIN, THERE NEED TO BE SUFFERING. THE ABILITY TO SEE THIS DIFFERENCE IS THE SUPREME HUMAN ATTAINMENT.

                IT MAY SEEM CRUEL, BUT IT IS ACTUALLY THE BEST THING THAT YOU CAN DO FOR ANOTHER, WHY? BECAUSE YOU ARE OFFERING THEM NOT TEMPORARY RELIEF, BUT A PERMANENT SOLUTION.

                  💫❤

                    MANY PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW SOME SPIRITUAL PRACTICES GAIN SMALL CAPABILITIES, SUCH AS THE ABILITY TO HEAL OR TELL THE FUTURE. BUT THESE ARE OF NO SPIRITUAL CONSEQUENCE . IN THE HIGHER-LEVEL MEDITATION PROGRAMS I CONDUCT, SOME PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO ACQUIRE CERTAIN SUPERNORMAL POWERS, OR SIDDHIS, AS WE CALL THEM IN SANSKRIT. HOWEVER, AS SOON AS I SEE THESE POWERS, I PUSH THEM BACK IMMEDIATELY, EVEN IF DOING SO DISTURBS A PERSON'S TRAJECTORY OF GROWTH

                  AS A GURU, I DO NOT SUPPORT SIDDHIS. I DESTROY THEM. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN MIRACLES. I PUT A HALT TO SUCH CAPABILITIES RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE IF A PERSON ACQUIRES THESE POWERS, THEY WILL NO LONGER PURSUE THE SPIRITUAL PATH. THEY WILL SET UP THEI CIRCUS, TRY TO MAKE SOME MONEY OR ACQUIRE FAME, AND MAKE A BUSINESS OUT OF IT.

                    DO NOT TRY TO BECOME A FRANCHISEE FOR COSMIC ENERGY. AND DO NOT TRY TO BECOME A MIRACLE WORKER. MY ONLY AIM IS TO HELP YOU RECOGNIZE THE MIRACLE OF THE LIFE THAT YOU ARE. EVERYTHING ELSE IS A DISTRACTION.

                                                      ❤💫❤

                      IN MAINTAINING DISTANCE FROM 

                              YOUR THOUGHT AND EMOTION,

                    YOU CAN BECOME AVAILABLE TO THE GRACE OF 

                                THE GREATEST BEINGS OF THE PAST.

KARMA YOGAM

 

                                      KNOW ABOUT YOUR PAST LIFE?

                                                                             ❤💫❤

                       DOES KARMA PRESUPPOSE PAST LIVES ? DO I HAVE TO BELIEVE IN REBIRTH TO UNDERSTAND KARMA?

                                                                               ❤❤❤

                          ANS : NO, IT IS NOT NECESSARY. NEVER MIND IF SOMEBODY ELSE IS TALKING ABOUT PAST LIFETIMES. WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT YOUR KARMA, JUST LOOK AT THOSE AREAS OF BONDAGE THAT ARE A REALITY FOR YOU. START FROM WHERE YOUR EXPERIENCE BEGINS. YOU CAN START ONLY FROM WHERE YOU ARE. EFFORTS TO START WITH SOMETHING THAT IS NOT IN YOUR EXPERIENCE WILL LEAD TO HALLUCINATORY STATES.

                         FROM THE MOMENT OF YOUR BIRTH TO THE PRESENT MOMENT, EXAMINE THE VERY WAY YOU THINK AND FEEL. AT LEAST SINCE YOUR BIRTH, YOU CAN SEE YOUR PAST ACTIONS HAVE BEEN RULING YOU IN SO MANY WAYS. AND THE VERY WAY YOU THINK, FEEL, UNDERSTAND, AND EXPRESS YOURSELF NOW WILL AFFECT YOUR FUTURE.

                       LET US NOT TALK ABOUT THOSE THINGS THAT ARE NOT IN YOUR REALM OF EXPERIENCE. OTHERWISE, YOU ENTIRE LIFE COULD PASS IN SELF-DECEPTION. THESE DECEPTIONS COULD MAKE YOU A POPULAR CONVERSATIONALIST AT A DINNER PARTY. THEY MAY CARRY YOU ACROSS ONE EVENING, BUT THEY WON'T CARRY YOU ACROSS LIFE AND DEATH!

                    IF I TELL YOU ABOUT YOUR PAST LIVES, I AM MERELY GIVING YOU A STORY, A BELIEF, NOT AN EXPERIENCE A BELIEF SYSTEM WILL NOT OFFER YOU GROWTH, IT OFFERS YOU ONLY SOLACE OR ENTERTAINMENT. IF I TELL YOU THAT GOD WILL LOOK AFTER YOU, IT WILL OFFER YOU ONLY SOLACE. SOLACE IS LIKE A TRANQUILIZER,  IT MEANS YOU ARE ONLY GETTING DEEPER INTO ENTANGLEMENT. IT WILL NOT LIBERATE YOU.

                 RIGHR NOW, YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO HANDLE THE MEMORY OF THIS VERY LIFETIME. YOU STILL SUFFER WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU TEN YEARS AGO! WHEN YOU ARE IN THIS CONDITION, IF YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU TEN LIFETIMES AGO, IT WILL DRIVE YOU NUTS! SO THERE IS NO POINT SPECULATING ABOUT EARLIER LIFETIMES. AT THE SAME TIME, DON'T DISMISS THE IDEA EITHER. YOU CAN SIMPLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU DON'T KNOW.

                   ON THE LEVEL OF INFORMATION, IT WILL NOT HELP YOU TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR PAST LIVES. BUT ON A DEEPER ENERGY LEVEL, UNDERGOING PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE CAN HELP. WHAT LOOKING INTO THE PAST CAN DO IS TO HELP YOU ARRIVE AT A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT MAKES UP THE PERSON YOU CALL "MYSELF".

                       THERE ARE LAYERS AND LAYERS OF MEMORY IN THE UNCONSCIOUS. KARMA SAMYAMA, AND ADVANCED SPIRITUAL PROGRAM WE DO AT ISHA, IS A MEDITATION THAT BRINGS LAYERS OF THE UNCONSIOUS MIND TO THE SURFACE TO DISSOLVE THEM. ANYTHING THAT IS KARMIC DISSOLVES ONLY WHEN THE DISCERNING MIND IS IN FUNCTION. IF YOU JUST LEAVE IT UNEAMINED, IT HARDENS INTO A TENDENCY. THESE TENDENCIES ARE WORKING UPON YOU ALL THE TIME.

                          I KNOW TODAY THERE IS A BIG PSYCHOLOGICAL CIRCUS GOING ON IN THE FORM OF PAST-LIFE REGRESSIONS. MUCH OF THIS IS PURE HALLUCINATION. YOU NEED TO UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS MIND IS AN INCREDIBLE INSTRUMENT. IT CAN DECEIVE YOU IN MANY SUBTLE WAYS. SUPPOSE YOU REALIZED YOUR NEIGHBOR'S DOG WAS YOUR HUSBAND IN YOUR PREVIOUS LIFE, HOW WOULD IT HELP YOU? WHETHER YOU NOW GO AND KISS HIM OR THROW STONES AT HIM DOESN'T MATTER. BOTH ARE DANGEROUS! (IF YOU THROW STONES AT HIM, YOU WILL GET INTO TROUBLE WITH THE NEIGHBOR. IF YOU KISS HIM, YOU WILL GET INTO TROUBLE WITH THE NEIGHBOR. IF YOU KISS HIM, YOU WILL GET IN TROUBLE WITH THE DOG!)

                   BUT ON A DIFFERENT PLANE, IF YOU WILL GET BRING THIS MEMORY INTO YOUR EXPERIENCE, THEN IT BECOMES A WAY OF LIBERATING YOURSELF. IN SAMYAMA, NO SUGGESTIONS ARE GIVEN TO YOU, NO GUIDANCE IS GIVEN TO YOU. BUT THE PROCESS ALLOWS LAYERS AND LAYERS OF THE PAST TO SURFACE AND WORTH THEMSELVES OUT BY MOVING YOU TO A CERTAIN LEVEL OF INTENSE AWARENESS. YOU ARE NOW FREE OF SEVERAL IMPULSES AND TENDENCIES.

HEAT AND LIGHT OF OUR BODY (YOGA)

 

                       THE YOGA OF HEAT AND LIGHT

                                                               💫❤💫

             

                  ❤ 👀❤

                       YAMA AND NIYAMA ARE SIMPLE GUIDELINES, THE DOS AND DON'TS ON THE SPIRITUAL PATH, SUCH AS NONVIOLENCE, COMMITMENT TO TRUTH, AND SO ON. THEY CREATE THE RIGHT ATMOSPHERE FOR ONE'S SPIRITUAL EVOLUTION. ONCE A PERSON IS ENLIGHTENED, THESE DOS AND DON'TS ARE OF LITTLE RELEVANCE. WHEN COMPASSION WITHIN YOU IS OVERFLOWING AND DIVINITY HAS COME TO THE FORE NO RULES NEED TO BE PRESCRIBED. HUMAN NATURE AT THIS POINT KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN A GIVEN SITUATION. BUT THESE SIMPLE NORMAL WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN A GIVEN SITUATION. BUT THESE SIMPLE MORAL STRICTURE WERE IDENTIFIED FOR THE BENEFITS OF THOSE STARTING OUT ON THE PATH.

                      ASANAS ARE, OF COURSE, THE MANY PHYSICAL YOGA POSTURES PRACTICED BY THE SEEKER IN A CERTAIN STATE OF AWARENESS. THEY ARE A WAY OF MANIPULATING YOUR INNER ENERGIES IN A PARTICULAR DIRECTION, A WAY OF KNEADING THE BODY TOWARD A HIGHER POSSIBILITY. IF YOU HAVE EVER MADE BREAD, YOU WILL KNOW THAT THE QUALITY OF THE BREAD QUALITY ON HOW EFFICIENTLY THE DOUGH HAS BEEN KNEADED. SIMILARLY, ASANAS ARE ABOUT ELEVATING CONSCIOUSNESS BY THROUGHLY KNEADING THE BODY. THIS IS HOW DEEP THE SCIENCE OF YOGA IS : IT JOURNEY FROM THE OUTER TO THE INNER, REMINDING US THAT WORKING CONSCIOUSLY ON THE PHYSICAL LEVEL CAN ALTER THE WAY ONE THINGS, FEELS, AND EXPERIENCES LIFE AND CAN ULTIMATELY LEAD ONE TO HIGHER SPIRITUAL POSSIBILITIES.

                    MOST SPIRITUAL PRACTITIONERS WILL VOUCH FOR THIS. NINETY PERCENT CANNOT MEDITATE, ONLY AFTER A PRACTICE THAT FIRES THEM AND BURNS UP COMPUSLIVE KARMAS CAN THEY CLOSE THEIR EYES AND SIT STILL. SO THE IDEAL SADHANA IS A BALANCE BETWEEN THE FIRE AND THE LIGHT ASPECTS. PERSONALLY, I AM FINE WITH THE FIRE ASPECTS, BECAUSE I CANNOT STAND INSIPIDITY. I PREFER RAGE TO TIMENESS AND LIFELESSNESS! BUT THOSE WHO ARE ON FIRE ALL TIME DO NOT FIT INTO SOCIAL SITUATIONS EASILY. SO IT IS BEST TO CREATE A BALANCE BETWEEN THE TWO.

                     ONCE YOUR ALLOTTED KARMA (PARABDHA) IS HANDLED, A CERTAIN INNER SPACE IS FREED UP WITHIN YOU.  THIS GIVES YOU THE ROOM TO PERCEIVE LIFE WITH A CERTAIN CLARITY. YOU NEED NOT WORK OUT EVERYTHING ELSE, BECAUSE YOU NOW SEE THAT THE ENTIRE KARMIC INFLUENCE IS ILLUSORY. ONCE YOU HAVE THE CLARITY OF REALIZATION, IT IS EASY TO DROP IT WHEN NECESSARY.

                   WORKING OUT YOUR ENTIRE ACCUMULATED KARMA (SANCHITA)  IS A VERY LING PROCESS, BECAUSE THE ACCUMULATION IS MASSIVE. SO NOT TRY TO INVESTIGATE THE CONTENT OF YOUR WAREHOUSE, IT WILL TAKE FOREVER TO GO THROUGH , AND IT MIGHT WELL ENGULF YOU!  THE DANGER OF SHIFTING THROUGH YOUR KARMA IS THAT YOU COULD WELL FIND PRECIOUS ELEMENTS THAT YOU WANT TO PRESERVE. JUST HANDLE THE ALLOTTED KARMA AND MAKE USE OF THE CLEAR SPACE TO DROP THE ACCUMULATED KARMA ALTOGETHER. THE MOMENT YOU CLOSE THE RETAIL OUTLET, THE WAREHOUSE LOOKS LIKE MEANINGLESS TRASH! SO WHEN THE TIME COMES, YOU SIMPLY DISPOSE OF THE ENTIRE WAREHOUSE WHOLESALE - WITH ALL ITS CONTENT STORAGE FACILITY.

                  IT IS THE SUN THAT HAS TURNED WATER INT A CLOUD AND AGAIN IT A SILVER LINING. BUT THE CLOUD IS NOW BLOCKING THE SUN! YOU COULD WRITE ENDLESS POETRY ABOUT THIS EXQUISITE SILVER-LACED CLOUD, BUT YOU WILL END UP MISSING THE SUN. THIS IS THE NATURE OF KARMA. AS BEAUTIFUL AS IT MAY LOOK , IT BLOCKS THE SOURCE OF CREATION. THERE MAY A BEAUTY IN SOME ASPECTS OF KARMA. BUT DO NOT FORGET THE SOURCE FROM WHICH IT HAS SPRUNG. THE SOURE MAY BE NO-THING BUT IMPLICT IN IT IS A GREAT POSSIBILITY. THE POSSIBILITY TO BECOME EVERYTHING.

                  WHILE EVERY KRIYA REQUIRES A INITIATION, THERE IS ONE KRIYA THAT I OFTEN THAT REQUIRES NO INITIATION. THIS IS THE ISHA KRIYA, A SIMPLE DAILY PRACTICE THAT ENHANCES HEALTH, DYNAMISM, MATERIAL AND SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING, OFFERS A MEANS TO COPE WITH THE HECTIC PACE OF MODERN LIFE, AND EMPOWERS ONE TO LIVE LIFE TO ITS FULLEST POTENTIAL . IT IS A REMINDER THAT THERE IS MUCH MORE TO US THAN OUR BODY AND OUR MIND. THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN EXPLORING THIS THREE-STAGE PRACTICE WILL FIND IT ON THE SADHGURU APP. (ISHA.SADHGURU.ORG/APP)

THE KRIYA SHAMBHAVI MAHAMUDRA

 

                             KARMA YOGA AND THE

                                      ENERGY BODY

                                                                          ❤💫❤

                          IT IS NOT ABOUT PERFORMING MIRACLES.

           IT IS ABOUT RECOGNIZING THE MIRACLE OF LIFE THAT YOU ARE.

                                                                       ❤👀❤

                         FIXING THE DESTINATION

                     I OFTEN SAY THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE THING I AM REALLY GOOD AT, MAKING PLACES AND PEOPLE CRACKLE WITH ENERGY. EVERYTHING ELSE THAT I DO - ALL MY TRAVELS AROUND THE WORLD, GIVING TALKS, CONDUCTING PROGRAMS, INITIATING ENVIRONMENTAL, EDUCATIONAL, AND CULTURAL PROJECTS - IS INCIDENTAL. THIS DOES NOT MEAN I DO VALUE THE WORK THAT I DO. I THROW MYSELF WHOLEHEARTEDLY INTO ALL OF IT. BUT MY PRIMARY AREA OF EXPERTISE IS LIFE ENERGY. I AM AN ENERGY MECHANIC ABOVE ALL ELSE.

                     KARMA YOGA ON THE LEVEL OF THE ENERGY, OR PRANIC, BODY IS VITAL FOR MANY REASON. FOR ONE, IT CAN TRANSFORM OR REGENERATE THE ENERGY BODY IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT IS NOT JUST BORN ANEW BUT ACTUALLY STAYS NEW. NO MATTER HOW MUCH EXERCISE OR HATHA YOGA YOU DO, HOW CAREFULLY YOU WATCH YOUR DIET, YOUR PHYSICAL BODY WILL AGE AND DECAY. THE MENTAL BODY IS A WONDERFUL INSTRUMENT, BUT IT CAN ALSO RUST WITH AGE. THERE ARE MANY WHO FIND THAT THEIR MEMORY IS NOT AS SHARP AS WHEN THEY WERE YOUNGER. THE ENERGY BODY, HOWEVER, CAN BE COMPLETELY UNAFFECTED BY THE AGING BORN AND KEEP IT IN MINT-FRESH CONDITION UNTIL YOU DIE. THE IMPACT OF A STRONG ENERGY BODY ON YOUR LIFE AND ON THE WORLD AROUND YOU IN TREMENDOUS. FOR MANY, IT CAN SEEM NEARMIRACULOUS.

                          DESCRIBING ENEMIES AS FRIENDS IS , OF COURSE, MERE ERUPHEMISTIC WORDPLAY! IT BEARS NO RELATIONSHIP TO REALITY. MANY CHOOSE TO LIVE THEIR LIVES AT THIS SUPERFICIAL LEVEL. THEY OPT FOR SELF-IMPROVEMENT RATHER THAN SELF-TRANSFORMATION, HOPING THAT A LIFE OF TEPID AFFABILITY AND GENERAL AGREEDABILITY WILL TAKE THEM TO THE ULTIMATE. THEY FORGET THAT THE SOCIAL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE EXISTENTIAL.

                           THIS IS WHY KARMA YOGA HAS TO BE APPROACHED ON MANY LEVELS. MERELY WORKING ON THE LEVEL OF THE PHYSICAL AND THE PSYCHOLOGICAL IS NOT ENOUGH. IF YOU CLEAN YOUR MENTAL STATE OF KARMIC SUBSTANCE, YOU MAY BE APPRECIATED SOCIALLY BECAUSE THERE IS A CERTAIN PEACE, YOU MAY BE APPRECIATED SOCIALLY BECAUSE THERE IS A CERTAIN PEACE, JOY AND SWEETNESS ABOUT YOUR PRESENCE. PEOPLE MAY ENJOY BEING AROUND YOU BECAUSE YOU'VE CLEANED UP YOUR MIND. BUT THIS STILL DOES NOT CHANGE THE DIRECTION IN  WHICH YOU ARE GOING. YOU WILLS STILL INFLUENCED BY THE RESIDUAL IMPACT OF LIFETIMES OF EXPERIENCE THAT LEAD YOU BY YOUR TENDENCIES. ONLY IF YOU BEGIN TO CLEAN THE ENERGY BODY OF KARMIC CONTENT WILL YOU BEGIN TO MOVE IN A NEW DIRECTION. INSTEAD OF BEING RULED BY TENDENCIES, YOU NOW BEGIN TO BECOME A CONSCIOUS BEING.

                   THE KRIYA SHAMBHAVI MAHAMUDRA THAT I INITIATE PEOPLE INTO DURING MY INNER ENGINEERING PROGRAMS IS SIGNIFICANT FOR THIS REASON. IT PICKS OFF THE KARMIC MATERIAL FROM THE ENERGY SYSTEM AND THEREBY CHANGES YOUR DESTINATION. IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO DEVOTE THE PROGRAM TO TURNING OUT PLEASANT HUMAN BEING . THIS WOULD MEET WITH GREAT SOCIAL APPROVAL. BUT WHETHER YOU ARE PLEASANT OR UNPLEASANT HAS NO SPIRITUAL RELEVANCE. ONCE YOU TRANSFORM THE CONTENT OF THE ENERGY BODY, THE FUNDAMENTAL OF LIFE WILL BEGIN TO ALERT. YOU ARE NOW HUGELY EMPOWERED TO BEGIN YOUR MARCH TOWARD FREEDOM.

THE DOUBT ABOUT OUR KARMA'S !

                                                                     💫💫💫

                   AS FAR AS THE LAWS OF EXISTENCE ARE CONCERNED, 

                         THERE IS NO GOOD AND BAD, CRIME AND PUNISHMENT.

                IT IS JUST THAT FOR EVERY ACTION, THERE IS A CONSEQUENCE.

                                                                      💫💫💫

                             👀👉

                        WHEN I READ A NEWS REPORT ABOUT A LITTLE GIRL BEING RAPED, FOR INSTANCE, CAN I REALLY SAY THAT SHE DESERVED IT BECAUSE IT IS HER KARMA?

                          ANS : NOT HER KARMA. OUR KARMA

                          QUESTION : WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

                         👀👉

                         ANS : IT IS OUR KARMA. KARMA DOES NOT MEAN GOD IS SITTING UP THERE PUNISHING BAD PEOPLE AND REWARDING GOOD ONES. THERE IS NO SUCH THING. BUT WHAT KIND OF SOCIETY WE LIVE IN - IS THAT NOT OUR COLLECTIVE KARMA?  THAT WE ARE LIVING UNINVOLVED IN A SOCIETY IN WHICH HORRIFIC THINGS HAPPEN - IS THAT NOT OUR KARMA? IF ALL OF US , LIVE WITHOUT ANY HUMANITY IN OUR HEARTS FOR ALL THE ATROCITIES GOING ON AROUND US, THAT IS OUR KARMA. WE GET THE SOCIETY WE DESERVE. SO DON'T THING OF IT AS HER KARMA. THINK OF IT AS YOUR OWN. INACTION IS ALSO KARMA.

                     YOU ARE ASKING THIS QUESTION BECAUSE YOU READ THIS DISTURBING NEWS REPORT. BUT IF YOU HAVE A LITTLE GIRL IN YOUR HOUSE, AREN'T YOU DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO MAKE SURE SHE IS PROTECTED? DOES THAT MEAN HER SAFETY IS GUARANTEED? NO, BUT YOU DO YOUR BEST TO SECURE HER PROTECTION. THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO FOR THE ENTIRE SOCIETY, FOR EVERY LITTLE GIRL, WHEREVER SHE IS. AND IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE. IN MANY WAYS, WE HAVE TAKEN OUR COLLECTIVE DESTINY INTO OUR HANDS.

                            👀👉

                       QUESTION : I HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAS LOST HIS LEGS BECAUSE HE WAS AFFECTED BY POLIO AT BIRTH. WHAT KIND OF PAST KARMA COULD SUCH A TERRIBLE CONSEQUENCE?

                     ANS : YOU'RE MAKING THE MISTAKE AGAIN OF INTERPRETING KARMA AS A SYSTEM OF REWARD AND PUNIHMENT. THE FIRST STEP IS TO SEE IT AS SOFTWARE. NOTHING MORE.

                    NOW, A HUNDRED YEARS AGO, THERE WERE ANY NUMBER OF POLIO AFFECTED CHILDREN AND ADULTS EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD, BUT TODAY THOSE NUMBERS HAVE REDUCD DRAMATICALLY BECAUSE WE ARE DOING THE RIGHT KARMA. WHAT IS THE RIGHT KARMA? WE ARE VACCINATING OUR CHILDREN. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT WE DID NOT KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS EARLIER, BUT THIS IGNORANCE WAS ALSO OUR COLLECTIVE KARMA. IT IS GOOD THAT WE ARE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT NOW.

                         👀👉

                   AS FAR AS LWAS OF EXISTENCE ARE CONCERNED, THERE IS NO GOOD AND AND BAD, NO CRIME AND PUNISHMENT. IT IS JUST THAT FOR EVERY ACTION, THERE IS A CONSEQUENCE. ACTIONS MAY HAPPEN KNOWINGLY OR UNKNOWINGLY. SO WHEN YOU PERFORM ANY ACTION, ONLY ONE QUESTION IS  RELEVANT, ARE YOU READY FOR THE CONSEQUENCE? IF YOU CAN JOYFULLY ACCEPT ANY CONSEQUENCE, DO WHATEVER YOU PLEASE, BUT IF THE CONSEQUENCE MATTER TO YOU, YOU MUST PERFORM CONSCIOUS ACTION.

                      NOW, SUPPOSE YOU WERE DRIVING WITH A DRUNK FRIEND. IF HE CRASHES HIS CAR, YOU MIGHT ALSO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED. IF YOU WERE TO SAY, "THIS IS UNFAIR - THIS IS HIS KARMA, NOT MINE". IT WOULD BE ABSURD. YOUR KARMA IS THAT YOU WERE WITH A DRUNKEN FRIEND. THIS IS THE WAY EXISTENCE WORKS. IF YOU ARE IN TUNE WITH IT, IT WILL NOT CRUSH YOU. IF YOU ARE NOT IN TUNE WITH IT, IT WILL CRUSH YOU.

                       IT IS TIME WE STOPPED FOCUSING ON DISADVANTAGE. CAN ALL OF US PERFORM THE SAME TYPE OF PHYSICAL AND MENTAL ACTIVITY? NO. SOMEONE CAN DO MORE, AND SOMEONE LESS. EVEN WITH LEGS, MOST PEOPLE CANNOT RUN. SO, SOCIALLY, IF WE CREATE A SITUATION THAT DOES NOT SET UP DISCRIMINATION OR AN ATMOSPHERE THAT IS NOT OVERLY DRIPPING WITH SENTIMENTAL PITY, THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEM. IF YOU TREAT YOUR FRIEND AS YOU WOULD TREAT YOURSELF, HE WOULD BE FINE. DON'T TREAT HIM WITH ANY SELF-CONSCIOUS SYMPATHY BECAUSE YOU SEE HIM AS AN OBJECT OF PITY.  PHYSICALLY, HE CANNOT DO A FEW THINGS, YOU CAN HELP HIM WITH THOSE. FOR THE REST OF IT, JUST TREAT HIM AS YOU WOULD ANY OTHER HUMAN BEING.

                    SOCIETY NEEDS TO BE MATURE ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH THOSE WITH DISABILITIES. IF THEY ARE TREATED AS NORMAL, THEIR SUFFERING WILL DISSAPEAR BECAUSE THEIR SUFFERING IS NOT PHYSICAL. PAIN IS PHYSICAL, BUT SUFFERING IS ENTIRELY PSYCHOLOGICAL. NOW, YOU COULD SIT AT HOME RIGHT NOW AND WEEP BECAUSE YOU CANNOT PLAY SOCCER LIKE RONALDINHO! YOU COULD CONSIDER YOURSELF DISADVANTAGED AND HANDICAPPED . BUT IT IS FOOLISH TO DO THIS - EITHER TO YOURSELF OR TO ANOTHER PERSON. OFFER SOME PHYSICAL ASSISTENCE TO THOSE WHO NEED IT, BUT DO NOT OVEREXAGGERATE THEIR PROBLEM AND MAKE THEM FEEL LIKE A VICTIM.

THE REASON WHY INCREASING OUR KARMA'S !

 

                             WHY HUMAN ARE ALWAYS 

                              INCREASING OUR KARMA?

                                                                                 💫❤💫

                           RIGHT NOW, YOU ARE LIKE A BUBBLE THAT SAYS "THE AIR THAT I HOLD IN MY LUNGS IS MY AIR" YOU STILL HAVE TO EXHALE!

                    I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT THIS: IF THERE ARE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF BEINGS THAT NEED TO BE LIBERATED THEIR KARMA, WHY IS THE HUMAN POPULATION ALWAYS INCREASING? WHERE IS ALL THE NEW KARMIC SUBSTANCE COMING FROM?

                     ANS : THE NUMBER GAME WORKS ONLY WITH THE PHYSICAL DIMENSION. IN THE NONPHYSICAL DIMENSION, IT IS MEANINGLESS. YOU ARE CONFUSING THE NONPHYSICAL DIMENSION WITH THE PHYSICAL.

                         WITH A SINGLE PERSON'S KARMIC BODY, IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE A MILLION CHILDREN! THIS DOES NOT MEAN A MILLION PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE AND A MILLION WOMEN HAVE TO GET PREGNANT AND WAIT TO RECEIVE THOSE MILLION BEIGS. A SINGLE KARMIC BODY CAN MANIFEST IN A MILLION WOMBS.

                   SO THIS BEINGS THAT YOU CALL "ME" RIGHT IS NOT A QUANTITY. I ALWAYS USE NEGATIVE TERMINOLOGY SO YOUR IMAGINATION DOESN'T FLY AWAY WITH YOU. LET ME JUST DESCRIBE THIS "YOU" AS EMPTY SPACE OR DARKNESS. (IF I DESCRIBE YOU AS LIGHT OR AS GOD, YOU WILL START TURNING HALLUCINATORY.  IF I TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE LIGHT, YOU WILL IMMEDIEATELY TELL YOUR NEIGHBOR THAT YOU ARE DIVING LIGHT. IF I TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE GOD, YOU WILL START TURNING DELUSIONAL.THERE IS NOT VERY MUCH YOU CAN IMAGINE ABOUT EMPTINESS, SO LET'S STICK WITH THAT DESCRIPTION).

                       SO THIS EMPTY SPACE WITH IS LIKE A BUBBLE. KARMA IS THE WALL OF THE BUBBLE. WITHOUT KARMIC SUBSTANCE, YOU HAVE TO EXISTENCE . IT IS ONLY BECAUSE OF KARMIC SUBSTANCE THAT YOU ARE GLUED TO THE BODY. IF ALL YOU KARMA IS REMOVED, YOU CANNOT BE HELD IN THE BODY. EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY SLIP OUT OF NON PHYSICAL BODY, THE KARMIC SUBSTANCE IS STILL THERE. SO EVEN IF THE BODY LOSES ITS VIBRANCY, THE KARMIC SUBSTANCE WILL FIND ANOTHER BODY.

              NOW, WHEN WE SAY WE WANT LIBERATION, OR MUKTI, WHAT WE REALLY ARE SAYIG IS THAT WE WANT TO PRICK THIS BUBBLE IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE ENCLOSED EMPTINESS BECOMES ONE WITH THE EMPTINESS OUTSIDE. ONCE YOU BURST A BUBBLE, THE AIR INSIDE BECOMES PART OF EVERYTHING AROUND IT, DOESN'T IT? IT WORKS THE SAME WAY WITH THE KARMIC BUBBLE. ENLIGHTENMENT ALSO MEANS THE SAME THING, IT MEANS THE BUBBLE HAS BURST. FOR MOST BEINGS, THE MOMENT OF ENLIGHTENMENT AND THE MOMENT OF LEAVING THE BODY ARE THE MENTAL MECHANICS - ARE ABLE TO RETAIN THE PHYSICAL FOR A LENGTH OF TIME AFTER THEIR ENLIGHTENMENT.

                          NOW, IF LIFE ENERGIES BECOME OVERLY INTENSE, YOU CANNOT RETAIN THE BODY. ALSO, IF LIFE ENERGIES BECOME VERY FEEBLE, YOU CANNOT RETAIN THE BODY. SO ONLY IF LIFE ENERGIES ARE WITHIN A CERTAIN BANDWIDTH INTENSITY CAN THE BODY BE RETAINED. THIS IS WHY THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF YOGA IN THE WORLD. ONE TYPE IS ABOUT WITHDRAWING FROM THE WORLD. THIS MEANS MAKING THE LIFE ENERGIES SO FEEBLE THAT YOU CAN DROP THE BODY. ANOTHER TYPE OF YOGA IS ABOUT REVVING UP THE ENERGIES TO A HIGH PITCH SO THAT THE PHYSICAL CANNOT HOLD ONE ANYMORE. SOCIALLY, THE REVVING-UP APPROACH MAY BE MORE APPRECIATED. SOCIALLY, THE REVVING-UP APPROACH MAY BE MORE APPRECIATED. BUT, EXISTENCIALLY, ONE IS NOT SUPERIOR TO THE OTHER. BOTH ACHIEVE THE SAME END.

                      SO THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "YOU" AND "ME", REALLY. RIGHT NOW, YOU ARE LIKE A BUBBLE THAT SAYS, "THE AIR THAT I HOLD IN MY LUNGS IS MY AIR". BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO EXHALE! WHEN YOU DO, YOUR AIR BECOMES SOMEBODY'S ELSE'S AIR, AND SOMEBODY ELSE'S AIR BECOMES YOUR AIR. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "MY AIR", BUT WHEN YOU HOLD IT IN YOUR LUNGS, IT BECOMES YOU FOR THAT LITTLE PERIOD OF TIME. SO THAT LIMITED ASPECT OF THE DIVINE THAT YOU HOLD WITHIN YOU, YOU CALL YOUR SOUL, IN SANSKRIT, WE CALL IT ATMA. WE DIFFERENCE IT FROM THE DIVINE, WHICH WE CALL PARAMATMA.

                   THE KARMIC MATERIAL CAN DEFENITELY TAKE ON MORE THAN ONE BODY. IT IS CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING MORE THAN ONE PHYSICAL FORM. I HAVE SPOKEN IN THE PAST OF HOW THIS HAPPENED WITH ME IN AN EARLIER LIFETIME. WHEN I WAS SADHGURU SRI BRAHMA AND LIFE SITUATIONS MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO CONTINUE MY MISSION TO CONSECRATE THE DHYANALINGA, I TOOK ON THE BODY OF THE CHILD YOGI WHO HAD LEFT HIS BODY EARLY. FOR A WHILE, I MANAGED TWO BODIES AND MADE A FUTILE ATTEMPT TO CONSECRATE THE DHYANALINGA. I ATTEMPTED THIS BECAUSE I KNEW THAT THE PHYSICAL TERM FOR THAT BODY, AS SADHGURU SRI BRAHMA, WAS GOING TO BE OVER IN A FEW MONTHS.

                       THE TRADITION ALSO HAS STORIES OF OTHER YOGIS WHO MAINTAINED TWO DIFFERENT BODIES TO FULLFILL TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF KARMA. THERE WERE YOGIS WHO INHABITED THE BODY OF AN ASCETIC AND A HOUSEHOLDER, IN ORDER TO FULFILL CERTAIN DIMENSIONS OF ACTIVITY THAT COULD NOT BE CARRIED OUT WITH A SINGLE BODY. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN CASES OF TWO YOGIS SHARING A SINGLE BODY. IT IS SOMETIMES SIMPLER TO SHARE ANOTHER YOGI'S BODY AND FULLFILL ONE'S KARMIC OBLIGATIONS RATHER THAN GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF FINDING A WOMB AND STARTING OVER.
