Yogee yunjeeta satatam aatmaanam rahasisthitah l
Ekaakee yatachittaatmaa niraasheeraparigrahah ll
The one who feels the same towards an affectionate person, a friend, an enemy, the indifferent,
the neutral, the hateful one, the unfriendly, the noble one or a sinner!
Yogee yunjeeta satatam aatmaanam rahasisthitah l
Ekaakee yatachittaatmaa niraasheeraparigrahah ll
The translation:
The contemplative sage, saint having subdued his thoughts and character, his identity being
free from desires with an attitude of renunciation, seated within oneself in aloneness, should
continuously connect with the higher consciousness by unclutching.
The Jeevan Mukta having subdued his thoughts and character, identity, being free from desires
with an attitude of renunciation, seated within oneself in aloneness, should continuously
connect with the higher consciousness by unclutching.
Now Bhagavan actually enters into the straight technique of unclutching.
Yogee yunjeeta satatam aatmaanam rahasisthitah - Having subdued his thoughts and identity
being free from desires! I tell you, subduing identity, subduing thoughts anybody can do.
It is not a big thing, I tell you. Thoughts can be reduced very easily with any simple
technique.
I know one sadhu. I have seen him day-in and day-out in Rishikesh. Whole day the only work
he will do is wash his Kamandalu, the water pot. It will be just shining. But you know
the most funny thing? He has less thoughts, very less thoughts. His only focus is that
his Kamandalu should not become dirty. His water pot should not be dirty. That’s where
everything stops. Any simple technique, even technique like washing your water pot can
bring your thoughts down. That’s not a big thing!
Subduing the identity means thoughts are food, identity is person who eats. Who eats should
be subdued not just the food. The identity grows, expands with thought. Reducing thoughts
is not a big thing. Actually, without touching the identity, reducing the thoughts is very
easy. I have seen a yogi standing on his one leg for more than 12 years, in Kumbhamela
during my Parivrajaka time. He really had a very reduced thought state. But unfortunately
the attention people give because of his Tapas has made his identity swollen like his leg,
one leg, on which he was standing. One leg on which he was standing was swollen, same
way because the attention he enjoys from people, his identity was swollen.
It is very easy to have less number of thoughts, if your identity is getting more and more
boosting. If the identity is not touched, it is very easy to have less number of thoughts.
When the identity is touched, almost like a honey comb, how if the honey comb is touched,
the bees come out, like that thoughts come out. I have seen many of my ashramites. They
will really be having very less thoughts, calm, composed. Just poke at their identity
once. People whom they don’t like or there is a hatred, just one word from that person
like a honey comb – Buzzzzz! All the thoughts will come up. The whole *** will come out.
If your identity is not touched, having less number of thoughts is not a big thing. Once
Kuppammal, my Mentor and Guru, she was really worthy of that word - Vibhuthanandapuri. She
told me “You need to learn to drop the identity”. 15 year old boy, what will I understand? I
said “You tell me what I should do, I will do”. She gave me a begging bowl and told
me “Go around and beg all over the city and come back”.
My grandfather, he is a big guy in that village. So, till death he was the head of the rice
merchants’ association. See, rice is the biggest business in that area. For 3 states
that one city supplies rice. That is the largest market in all these three states - Pondicherry,
Tamilnadu and Andhra. That city fell somehow in the center place. Even the Tanjore rice
comes there, gets sold and goes to different places. It became like a rice route. Growing
itself is not that huge, but the marketing and the rice mills – huge number of rice
mills getting the crops and cleaning and making into rice and branding and marketing. Still
my father’s side people are involved.
Till the death, my mother’s father - he was the head of the Rice Merchants’ association
- means morning he will fix the price of the rice. And even now my father’s uncle is
the largest rice mill owner. He owns some 7 rice mills now. Their family only donated
our Thiruvannamalai Ashram land. Actually Thiruvannamalai Ashram’s both lands, one
land was given from my father’s side; other land was given by my mother’s side. Pre-monastic
relatives, they gave the land. They donated both the properties.
Anyhow, rich guys, rich family background! But I have to go around begging. Then slowly,
I picked-up my bowl and said “All right I will go for begging”. Then she gave the
Kavi to wear and I put on my Kavi. There is a unique way of wearing, one cloth, one knot
in the back! That’s the way you have to go for begging. It is called “Unjawrithi”
in Tamil. I don’t know whether it is a Sanskrit word. Even in north if this word is used or
not I don’t know but in south they use the word “Unjawrithi”.
So, with the begging bowl I started. I went to the same streets where all my family is
having shops. Pre-monastic family they all have their different shops – Rice. They
are all into this business – Rice and cooking items, Dal, oil, all these, like a general
store. Anyhow I did not have any problem, but all of them had a problem. They all know
I am little crazy. But they did not expect I will go to this extreme. And the first shop
itself they caught hold of me. “What for you came?” I said “Don’t ask all that,
I am a sadhu now. I am asking you for Bhiksha. Will you give or not, you tell! I am going
for next shop. Don’t disturb my business!” If somebody comes and sits in your shop and
goes on begging at you, your business will be disturbed. “And don’t disturb my business”!
Then finally, my grandfather’s shop! He caught hold of me and said “How much you
need to stop this begging? What is your amount, target? Tell me that. I will give the whole.
Keep quiet and go back. And I can’t handle this phone call from every shop!” Those
days phone has come. It will be big and create a big sound- ‘Cring, Cring, Cring’! Huge
sound! No cell phone those days but the phone has come. “I cannot handle this phone call”.
Only four numbers those days, no, 4 numbers and local call means four numbers. And he
is telling “For last half-an-hour only these phone calls I am attending. From every shop
they are calling me. I can’t handle this nuisance. How much you need totally, tell
me”. I said “There is no goal. Kupammal told me that I have to beg all over the city”.
Specifically she has given the route also. She knows. And I did not have any problem.
Finally he said “Talking to you is no use. I will call that old lady and talk to her
directly”. Ragupathi Yogi is very close with my grandfather. So immediately he sent
a person to get Ragupathi Yogi. Kupammal can’t move freely here and there, but Ragupathi
Yogi was very healthy till the death. So he sent a person to bring Ragupathi Yogi, so
that I can be advised, I will stop this. But before he could come I left.
And I went round, went round, went round! There was a shop, my classmate! It is her
father’s shop, a girl, my classmate! So I am going and standing there. She was also
sitting in the shop. And she said “You gone completely crazy, you become mad and now you
are begging also. I told you so many times not to go to that lady, means Kuppammal, be
with the old lady continuously. Now you see you have become beggar!”
I tell you I could see very clearly, the body which is standing and begging is different,
I am different. Ultimate ability is ability to renounce the desire to be a hero. Ability
to renounce the identity! I tell you it is that training which protected or still protects,
saves me during this whole identity crisis!
See the attack on me was not defamation; it was literally creating identity crisis. Please
understand defamation is different. Trying to create identity crisis is different. Attack
on me from 2010 is not just defamation. Trying to create identity crisis! Trying to completely
confuse people about who am I, who I am! And they tried their best even to confuse me.
See if constantly 3 years somebody tells you, “you are a cheat, you are cheat, you are
cheat”, you may start thinking “Am I really cheating?” You may start thinking, when
you sit in the morning Pada Pooja “People are worshipping me. Am I really a cheat?”
Not once I doubted me. How can I doubt me? It seems somebody who left Ashram, one ex-
brahmacharini was telling another one devotee “If people put complete faith on me or you,
even we can heal!” I was laughing “Even you don’t put your whole faith on you, who
will put their faith on you”? People don’t need to put their whole faith on you to heal
them. You need to put your whole faith on you!
Not a moment I had a doubt! Understand, it is very easy to live even if the whole world
doubts you. It is impossible to live, even if you doubt yourself for a moment! You can’t
live if you doubt yourself. After all this, I have not doubted myself for a moment, because
I have experienced myself! I have seen the beautiful side of me, the graceful side of
me. When I saw the graceful side of me, I just fell in love with myself!
So even when Kalabhairava decides to punish people, I can see very clearly it is because
of his compassion to the larger part of humanity. And these people are begging punishment! What
to do? They are not ready to keep quiet.
I have seen the most graceful side of me. Never, never, never have a doubt, neither
had, nor having, will never have! I could see very clearly.
Even though I will not go to the school regularly, I had a very good friendship and respect from
all my classmates, batch mates, with everybody, whether it is boys or girls. I can look back
and even people who lived around me those days as my class mates, many of them are devotees
and some of them are in the ashram doing volunteering and all that. My roommate who was there in
my room for 3 to 4 years is in the ashram as a volunteer. Sometimes I talk to them.
The people who studied with me in the school are there in the ashram as a volunteer; people
who studied with me in the Polytechnic, who is roommate who used to sleep next to me.
Those days in the Polytechnic there was no cots, it was only mat. And the place will
be allotted by painting on the floor. So my next block they call it. For each mat, they
will put a paint on the floor. They will put number also 16, 15, 17, 18. My next number
guy is in the ashram, as a volunteer. And my roommate in Ramakrishna mutt, he comes
to the ashram regularly as a volunteer. Sometimes I used to talk to them. I asked them. “Do
you feel some change in my lifestyle?” They said “Nothing Swamiji!”
So the moment the girl, my classmate started to screaming “You become mad, you are begging,
your life is going to be a beggar” and all that she started screaming. Then her father
got angry with her. He said “Either give something or keep quite. Why are you abusing
him?” The father started telling “May be he is doing it for some spiritual reason”.
Because in South India it is very well known, you go to beg for three Saturdays and whatever
comes take it to the Tirupathi. Go by walk to Tirupathi and offer it in the Hundi. It
is a tradition. So, he was telling “May be he is begging for the Venkateshwara. How
do you know? It is a tradition. Even now they do”. Especially this month only it starts.
This is the month. Three Saturdays they will go to house to house and beg. Whatever comes
with that they will carry the whole thing may be rice or money, silver, gold; whatever
people give they will carry the whole thing, they go by walk to Thirumala and offer it
in the Hundi.
Anyhow I did not bother. When I finished the whole thing and came, she asked me only one
thing. She was sitting in the house. I don’t know who gave her report. She asked me only
one thing “How did you feel when people were screaming at you?” I said “This body
which is standing is different and I am different”. She said “You are a Brahmachari!” Then
she asked me “Did you go to your classmate shop?” That was a big shop, well known shop.
I said “Yes, I went”. What did your classmate tell, she tell you? I said “She was screaming
- I become mad. And she was abusing me, abusing you, that I become mad!” She asked me “What
did you feel exactly at that moment?” I said “I was very clear. This body is different
which she is abusing, I am different. I never felt attacked or disturbed”.
I tell you, the capacity to stand with a begging bowl without having an identity is the most
difficult thing. That helps me still now to stand with a begging bowl in front of my disciples.
Never ever think, I am a head of my disciples. No. It is literally with a begging bowl only
the whole thing runs. Only one difference is now-a-days, I beg to drop their identity
into my pot, which is the Brahma Kapala, which sucks their identity and eats!
Few days before I was telling you one important thing - the ability to give-up anything! Today
I tell you, you are a sadhu only if you are able to touch anybody sweet, whoever you feel
is your enemy. I have seen sadhus giving up multi crore properties in their hometown leaving
everything and going to Himalayas and there they fight a small place where they sit and
beg or eat their food in the ashram or bhandara or in the temple.
I know one fellow is from Coimbatore Goundar community. He left a property, big property
near the place called Sulur. He is a sadhu now in Rishikesh. There is a Karthikeya ashram
there which is in the name of Subramanya. He left crores of property here and went away
there to become sadhu. There I saw him fighting for a place in the Bhandara! I laughed!
I tell you, when I made a statement, all my sadhus, all my ashramites should practice
this habit of “non-possessiveness”- Anything is around me, belongs to whole world; anybody
wants they can take it! Same way, a sadhu, all my ashramites! Please understand, this
is the instruction to all the devotees, viewers, visitors; but this is the Guru Vak for all
the Ashramites and sadhus and sanyasis and jeevan muktas. Understand, I am spelling it
out very clearly, ability to drop your identity in front of any one is the quality of sadhu
and I wanted this to be a Guru Vak to all my ashramites. What is there? You think all
the abusal I am going through, I am worthy of it? It is excess being done on me. But
that is the way life is! That is the way humanity is! That is because you did not become enlightened
few thousand years before and serve the humanity. I am struggling all alone.
See, lakhs of people died in Hiroshima, Nagasaki. All the people who are dead, are they worthy
of that death? Now hundreds, I don’t know may be 50, 60 people I think, died in Sivakasi.
Do you know the terrible thing? In that whole group of people who are dead, I think 56 or
58, I don’t know the exact number, only one person was working in that Fire cracker
Industry. All the fellows who were working in the industry were saved. The fellows who
came to watch and rescue, 57 people who came to watch and rescue were dead. When they saw
the name list, only one person who was actually working was dead. If they listened to the
Police and everybody has fled. See all the workers have fled. They all have saved themselves.
One big group came there. The Police said you don’t go for rescuing people, we will
go. You don’t know, don’t do. But curiosity! India it is a big, it is a religion! If few
people are standing and seeing, you have to put your nose to find out what is going on
inside.
People are telling me, we are not able to reach-out to people, teach meditation, nothing!
Go to any big park on the main street. 4-5 people of you stand around and watch inside.
Let one fellow be doing inside one Kriya or Meditation, Nithya Dhyan. In 5 minutes, there
will be traffic jam in that road. The whole crowd will be standing around you watching
inside who and what is he doing. No I tell you. Make one person to sit and do Guru Pooja
and 5-6 of you just stand around. You should stand around in such a way that from distance
they should not be able to see what is going on inside. Only, when they come near and put
their head, they should be able to see what is going on inside. Stand like that. It is
a powerful technique. You try. All you need is 5 people, one to do Guru Pooja, 4 to hide
and stand. In 10 minutes you will see the whole street traffic jam; the whole crowd
will be standing and watching what is he doing. Till end of Guru Pooja, he should not open
his mouth to answer any question. And I tell you not a single fellow will leave. That extraordinary
curiosity!
These fellows came and standing and lost the life. They are not worthy of what has been
done to them. But that is life!
Standing up even when the life and humanity does not behave Dharmically to you is Jeevan
Mukti! Standing up with your clear Dharma, even when the humanity and society does not
treat you with Dharma is Jeevan Mukti!
I tell you, even if the society behaves with you Dharmically, you behaving Adharmically
is a demon. When society behaves with you Dharmically and you behave Dharmically is
a good person, when society behaves Adharmically and you behave Dharmically is Jeevan Mukta.
Even if the people around you, when they don’t behave Dharmically, stand-up on your Dharma.
That is what is subduing the identity!
This is second Guru Vak I am giving you guys - Ability to drop the identity! I tell you,
when you are able to drop the identity, all the problems you have will not have a chilly,
the anger. Even if you have a problem, both of you will sit together and understand, understand,
understand more and more. Every interaction with other person should create more intimacy;
more trust on that person over you; more trust for you over that person.
If your every interaction with every individual creates only trust on both sides, you are
free from identity; I tell you, you are Jeevan Mukta. You are a Jeevan Mukta! The ability
to drop the identity is Jeevan Mukti!
I tell you one more secret. As long as you have certain identity you will always feel
society is Adharmic towards you. It is a basic secret. Your logic is with ***. It sees only
from your side, never from the other side. If I judge whatever is done to me by the society
is Adharmic, my logic becomes logic with ***. Fortunately I never judged. Society is not
a group of people. Please understand. Society is the other person. It is not collective.
Even a single person is society. Whom you hate, whom you think you can’t work with;
whom you think is worst person you have seen in your life, is society for you.
I tell you, if you have somebody as your enemy and feel this fellows patterns he cannot come
out and he will suffer, he has to be given suffering, when you feel, understand now God
is sending you the diagnosis - Exactly you have the same problem! He is giving you the
possibility to diagnose you. Most fortunate human being is a human being who does not
suspect himself, who does not doubt himself, who is able to put completely his faith wholly
on himself. You putting your whole faith on you does not happen by you convincing you.
But it happens only by you dropping your identity by you. Go around, whoever you think as your
enemy, again and again sit with them and express your opinion what you carry towards them and
let them express what they carry towards you.
One more funny thing you will realize - Whom you think as the important enemy in your life
may not be thinking you as an important enemy in his life. I have seen, love is always a
triangular affair on the planet earth. Hatred is always quarter angle affair on the planet
earth.
Understand, if you are loving somebody and that person is loving somebody else, if you
are hating somebody as a enemy and that person is hating somebody else, it is never a straight
line. It is a law. One point is loving the other point means be very clear, the other
point is loving the other point, not this point; the other point which is in love! See:
A is in love with B. B will never be in love with A, it will be only in love with C. C
may be in love with A!
And same way hatred! A may be having the enmity towards B. B may be having the enmity only
with C never with A. Even if B wants to have enmity with A, it will have in his heart only
C as enemy. C may be having enmity with A. Please understand it’s a law. You will never
have a complete enmity with your direct enemy who is supposed to be your enemy. So whoever
you think as your enemy is not real enemy. It is a law. These are all ‘Saarva Bhoumya’,
Universal laws!
I am giving you one example. One thing you need to be very clear. Your logic has no capacity
to find your enemy. So whoever you think is your enemy is not your enemy. When you sit
with him, open up you will realize, that person is having somebody else as their main enemy.
So when he goes and sits with the other person, he will realize he is having somebody else
as his main enemy. Love or hatred is triangle in the planet earth. Neither love nor hatred
is straight line. Only when you become nobody, you become center of millions of people’s
love; and same way millions of people’s hatred. But you neither love them back nor
hate them back. You are just a black hole sucking the whole thing, where they disappear!
I tell you whether by love or by hate if you come near me, you are gone. When you disappear
into me by love it is called Enlightenment. When you disappear into me due to hatred,
it is called Pralaya. That’s all. But you dissolve into me. That is what Bhagavan shows
when he was giving the Vishwaroopa Darshana. Vishwaroopa is beautifully described. There
are many rishis, sadhus, sages, saints in the parts of Krishna’s Vishwaroopa and millions
of demons, devils, Kauravas, Rakshashas being chewed by the Krishna’s mouth, disappearing
into the fire, which is coming out of Krishna’s mouth. It means what? Both are disappearing
into him!
Ability to give up the identity, subduing the identity even in the worldly life, even
if you say “Practically I have to see”! I am talking to you, understanding all the
practicalities. Please understand, whoever is listening to me, to all of you I am telling
you very clearly I know all the situations you would have gone through, going through
and will go through. With that authority I am telling you. This truth which I am uttering
is the truth for all of you at all times to be practiced; to be lived; not to be compromised
at any time what you call as practical situations.
“What Swamiji said is right. But in this situation, even if he was here, he wouldn’t
have behaved like that. He wouldn’t have given-up his identity. I know”. Go to hell.
No. I am telling you, in all possible situations, this is the truth.
Ability to let go the identity makes you the hero whose identity can never be destroyed.
I want those heroes around me. They are Jeevan Muktas. I tell you, your identity caused you
only your life. Nothing else! If I am supporting your ego, identity, you are doomed. If I am
not touching your ego and identity, you are in waiting list. If I am hitting at it straight,
you are blessed. Unfortunately, for many people, many times I support!
It is the identity with which your heart associates yourself. That should become sadhu; chilly
less, anger less, violent less! Then you will become the center of creativity. You will
express so much of leadership quality, ability to inspire. Ability to inspire is nothing
but the ability to inspire yourself. Early morning, 6’o clock, if you are able to inspire
yourself to get you out of your bed and go to Akhada and do yoga you will have the ability
to inspire others. That’s all. The ability to inspire can never be a cunning technical
game. No!
If you are able to inspire yourself to come and sit for the satsang every day, and listen
to these great truths and live these, you will be simply able to inspire your subordinates,
your assistants and make them to do the job as you want and you will be able to lead them
with the inspiration.
Morning when you wake up, see your mood. Are you getting out of your bed and going to Akhada,
because Swamiji will fire you? I tell you, all your subordinates are going to be working
around you just because you will fire them, never inspired way! If you don’t know the
right words to inspire you, you will not know the right words to inspire others. There are
many, I don’t get their darshan at all in the morning.
Understand, if you are able to inspire yourself to drop the identity, you will be able to
inspire everyone to drop the identity!
I tell you. In the love, you are hitting the wrong wall. In the hatred, you are hitting
the wrong wall. In the love, you are in love with some body and you constantly go towards
that person. And suddenly you will realize that person is going towards somebody else.
Then you will be disillusioned and all your love will be lost. Same way only I tell you.
In the hatred also, you are travelling towards somebody and that somebody will be travelling
towards somebody else and suddenly you will be disillusioned and you will say, “Oh God,
I wasted my whole life on the hatred with this fellow”!
For example: A hates B. B might have done one or two activities, against the A. But
in B’s heart, A is not the enemy. In his heart, enemy is somebody else. C is the enemy.
This is the way the whole world goes on. When you love the person and that same person loves
you back to the same amount, what happens is enlightenment through Tantra, Union.
When you hate somebody and the same person hates you in the same level, what happens
is Pralaya. But unfortunately, both does not happen in the planet earth at all. Very rare!
If I have to give one example, two persons loving each other to the same amount, falling
in love with both equally – I can give the example of Shiva and Parvathi, Radha and Krishna,
Sharada and Ramakrishna. Rarely, that’s all! Not even handful! I don’t even have
one example of two persons hating each other. At least for love I gave 2 ~ 3 example. For
the hatred, I don’t even have one example. Because Sumba-Nisumbas, they were in love
with Parvathi, but Parvathi had enmity towards Sumba-Nisumbas. In turn, Tarakasura had enmity
with Parvathi; Parvathi did not have enmity with Tarakasura.
I tell you, whoever you think as your worst enemy, are not your enemies. Who thinks you
as the worst enemy, will never be felt by you as the worst enemy. Because, that enemy
or the friend, is based on your perception which itself is unstable. You are constantly
building multi-storey towers on the earth which is going through earthquakes. It is
a technical term - Tectonic plates. You are building skyscrapers on tectonic plates. Your
hatred, your love, your friend, your enemy are all skyscrapers. But you are installing
it on tectonic plates.
Bhagavan is very clear, subdue your identity!
It’s time. But I have not completed this verse. I will continue. I only spoke on one
word. Please understand I only spoke on one word - Yogee yunjeeta satatam. That’s all!
Because this one understanding is the biggest problem!
Your whole life is wasted on just protecting the identity which is going to ditch you at
the end of the day, end of the life. When you are about to leave the body, you will
see so much of ***, bio-memories all around you and you will ask your identity “What
is this? I trusted you and acted my whole life guided by you and did whatever you wanted.
Now you are showing, this is what is my bio-memory”! He will just raise his hand and put his hands
up and say “I don’t know”! “Hey, what you mean by you don’t know?
Answer me”. When you catch his collar, you will understand, only cloth is there. The
person has disappeared already. He is a ghost. He might be feasting with your enemy and saying
“See, secretly I have done the job, you wanted to do”!
People who realize the conspiracies done against them by their identity are Jeevan Muktas.
But you go around and dig out and find out even if it is not there, you imagine that
so many fellows are doing conspiracy against you, but you never suspect the conspiracies
getting done by your own identity against you!
Blessed are those, who understand the conspiracies done against them by their identity. Cursed
are those, who never doubt the conspiracies done to them, done against them by their own
identity.
If you are able to beg food and your needs from the people you grow as a sadhu, if you
are able to drop your identity and beg forgiveness from other identities, you become Jeevan Mukta.
If you are able to beg others to drop their identity, you become incarnation!
Understand, I am not asking you guys to go around and beg for food. That will be easy
for you guys to do. That will not have much impact. But if you can go around and beg for
the forgiveness what other identities think as the hurt by you, please understand what
you think as the hurt you caused to others, is not the real hurt what they think. Because
many times what you think as hurt you caused may not be hurt for them. What they think
as the hurt is the real hurt you caused to them. Same way, what you think as the hurt
others have caused you, they may not even have caused it consciously.
Understand, what you think as the hurt others have caused you, they may not even caused
consciously. So know how to forgive them. Same way what others think as the hurt caused
by you, you may not even be aware. So ask them to forgive you. This is the science of
forgiving. Science of gracefully moving ahead! I tell you, in the life, anybody who thrives
will be with renunciation. Person who thrives naturally comes with new, new situation, life
style, thinking trend, atmosphere, furniture, everything. Person with renunciation thrives.
Person who is thriving will always be ended with renunciation.
The moment money comes your whole mental set-up is new. If your mental set-up is not becoming
new, the money which came will not stand with you. So thriving happens on renunciation.
Renunciation is the ground on which the thriving seed thrives. Thriving thrives on you, only
when you are made out of renunciation. The ability to renounce the identity constantly
is thriving!
Person who thrives with the ability to renounce identity, identities is Jeevan Mukta!
I am giving one more definition of enlightenment. Being who is capable of thriving continuously
by renouncing the old identities is Living Enlightenment!
Do not wait for the wounds in you to be healed by others. Do not wait for the wounds in others
to be healed in course of time. Do not wait for others to come and heal the pain you are
carrying inside you. Do not wait for the other person’s wounds to be healed in course of
time. Means, you be proactive healing the wound and pain in others heart; same way you
be proactive in healing the wounds and pains inside you by dropping it! Your enemy is not
your enemy; your friend is not your friend. Whom you are hating for ages and years, might
be doing good to you. Whom you are loving and having friendship by ages, may be in love
with somebody else!
I will continue on this same verse again in tomorrow’s satsang. Today I give this as
a teaching to all the disciples, visitors, viewers this as a Guru Vak, to all the disciples,
sanyasis, sadhus and ashramites. So all the ashramites, sanyasis, sadhus before you come
tomorrow to the morning satsang, take at least ten effort to heal whom you think as your
top ten enemies and discover the truth your top ten are having somebody else as their
top ten. Your top number 1 may not be having you as the number 1 in his hit list. He may
be having you only as number 8 or 9 in his hit list. And who is in his hit list as number

Identity is the confused reality! When the love and hatred falls into the confusion of
triangle, what you call that whole *** is identity. When I said *** I meant two “s”!
When I said whole, remove the “W”. That is what we call identity as “Hole”! I
want you to understand without “s” and “w” is identity! Now nobody will forget.
Q&A:
Q: Dear Swamiji, is there such a thing as objective reality? Or is the world nothing
but a reflection of my perceptions? Can you also give me some science to distinguish between
reality and fantasy?
A: First thing you need to know whatever you understand as reality; the dimensions like
a size, shape, quality, your association of good and bad with it; all that, even one quality
does not exist in objective reality. Please understand if you think this is wall, this
is not wall. Whatever you understand, why this wall, what the wall does, how it looks,
what it is, who built, is it good for me, bad for me, all concepts you have about the
wall is not there actually on the wall. So in a way I can say there is no such thing
as objective reality and there is something called objective reality.
There is no such thing as objective reality is also true. There is objective reality is
also true. Understand. I tell you there is no such thing as objective reality because
anything you see, you perceive does not exist as you perceive. And I tell you there is objective
reality, why you know because you may be liberated from this wall; but the other person who is
not liberated will continue to see this wall as objective reality. Because of that, I tell
object reality exists. But I tell you, for you objective reality does not exist.
So the right truth: Objective reality does not exist for you, but the objective reality
exists for the objects you see in objective reality. But as the objective reality does
not exist for you itself, how can the objects you see in the objective reality’s objective
reality can be objective reality for you?
As the objective reality perceived by you itself is not reality, how can the objective reality
perceived by the objects which you perceive in the objective reality can be objective
reality for you?
Listen to the statement again:
As the objective reality which you perceive, itself is not an objective reality for you
then how can the objects you perceive in the objective reality can have the objective reality,
which you perceive as the objective reality, which is not a objective reality?
So, what you know as reality is nothing but the perversion of your fantasy. What you know
as fantasy is nothing but the perversion of your reality. When you go beyond what you
know as reality and fantasy, you see En-reality, which is end-reality! In Enlightened reality,
there is no space for fantasy, reality, reality based fantasy; fantasy based reality!
Fantasy based reality is Deities. Reality based fantasy is theme parks.
Reality based reality is Enlightened reality. Fantasy based fantasy is your dreams.
The reality based reality awakens in you, when you understand neither reality based
fantasies and fantasy based realities and reality-reality does not lead you to reality.
The reality-reality, fantasy-fantasy, fantasy-reality, reality-fantasy is all finally your reality-fantasy
leading you from fantasy-reality to reality-fantasy. Finally only when you drop everything, the
reality-reality expresses itself beyond reality!
Let you all achieve, experience, live and express, radiate, share and explode in Eternal
Bliss, Nithyananda! Thank you.
