I
welcome all of you with my love and respects.
I especially welcome all the participants in Toronto-Kailasam, all the devotees, viewers,
visitors gathered in Toronto-Kailasam for special Kalpataru Darshan, unique Kalpataru
Darshan, Kalpataru Utsava. Wow! The hall is overflowing and people are in the garbha mandir
also. Blessings to all of you! Great. I think first time the temple is overflowing!
And, today, all the Inner Awakening participants, you guys are going to enjoy world's oldest
recorded ritual -- Ganga Arathi. Please understand, see when a priest completes the ritual and
signs a document and receives a salary, that document is called "Maniyam" "Maniyam"
is the name of the document. All Hindu temples boast their age, their oldness, based on that
"Maniyam" record only. That record where the priest completes the ritual signs and
receives his salary, that record is accepted as the evidence to recognize the temple's
oldness and unbroken worship. See, in Hindu Tradition, size of the temple does not matter.
How many number of years the worship has happened without breakage, without disturbance.
So, please understand, Sringeri Temple has a 1,200 years of unbroken record, Rameshwaram
Temple has a 1700 years of unbroken record, and Ganga Arathi has record of 12,000 years!
Understand 12,000 years. More than 1,000 Kumbha Melas, Ganga Arathi has record. It is unbroken
ritual. The oldest ritual available to us, with record is Ganga Arathi. Done in "Har
ki Pauri", means the "Feet of Shiva", where Ganga comes to wash the feet of Shiva.
So, you are going to enjoy that ritual today on exactly the same spot.
Of course, Vishwanath Temple and all have a long "Maniyam", but broken in-between;
in-between was broken. Unfortunately, even Madurai Meenakshi Temple's "Maniyam"
is broken; it is not continuous. During the Muslim invasion it was broken; and then the
deity was smuggled into Adheenam and puja was going on there; but in the temple itself,
the "Maniyam" is broken. Somehow, Rameshwaram, because they're island, the army cannot
go to Rameshwaram you see; army has to stop at Pamban; army cannot go to Rameshwaram;
so the Rameshwaram was saved!
So, today, you guys are going to enjoy the Har ki Pauri Ganga Aarti, worship of Mother
Ganga. It is recorded from the ancient time immemorial. The oldest ritual I have seen
in any scripture recorded is Ganga Arathi only, Ganga's Puja, Puja done to Ganga,
Ganga Arathi. It may be very simple ritual, I can say, maximum half-an-hour, or half-an-hour
only the whole ritual is; but done without getting broken. One advantage is... See, a
temple ritual, for example, Meenakshi Temple ritual, if Madurai is captured that ritual
will be broken. If Rameshwaram is captured, that ritual will be broken. But, Ganga, you
can never capture the whole banks of the Ganga. Only one part you can capture always, the
other part will be free. In some corner this priest will go and perform the arathi. So,
that is the way the ritual was kept alive. It was a unbroken tradition because the deity
is too big, it cannot be captured by any enemies or war or army! How will you capture Gangotri
to Ganga Sagar? Even if you capture her in Gangotri to Gangasagar, we will be sitting
in Tapovan and doing it! Even if you capture, you can't keep an eye that ritual is not
done.
Alright, today, again, I wanted to expand on Kalpataru. Listen. This is for the Inner
Awakening participants also. Danse suniya, please listen!
There is a big difference between every action you take with the idea of "impossibility"
and with the idea of "possibility". Understand? For example, from Haridwar you are travelling
to Delhi. You are going by walk. Every step you put with the idea you are never going
to reach Delhi, with the idea 'Who knows whether this is the right road? Who knows
whether the weather will be helping us? Who knows I will not get into an accident and
die?', with all kinds of doubts, the more number of steps you put, the more and more
you will be tired, sick, depressed. If you walk in the same road with the idea of "possibility",
more and more you will be excited; when you see every name-board, you will feel 'Wow!
We are coming closer to Delhi, closer to Delhi!'; and the idea what you are going to achieve,
enjoy, have in Delhi, that will inspire you and excite you more and more.
Please understand, don't ever think like a so-called rationalist - irrational rationalist.
These irrational rationalists always give an argument: 'what is there? Whether I believe
or don't believe, the same number of steps only I have to take to reach Delhi.' Understand,
the number of steps may be the same, but the effort will not be the same. When you walk
with the "impossibility", number of steps may be same, but the effort will be more.
If you walk with the "possibility", number of steps may be the same, but the effort will
be practically zero.
The more and more action, the more and more the excitement, is the definition of "Possibility".
The more and more action, more and more excitement. The more and more action, more and more tiredness
and boredom, is the definition of "Impossibility".
One of my disciples asked me, 'Swamiji, what is this every day morning exactly you
get up, run to take bath, do your puja, and sincerely doing!'
Even I am sometimes surprised! See, after the realization of my incarnation-hood. From
the age of three, I started puja. I first started with Ganapati Puja, with the Ganesha
deity I got. Then a few deities added. But, from the age of three, I remember me doing
puja unbroken till the age of twenty-two. And, after twenty-two, no puja, just being
in Samadhi, that's all. Again, the day I took up the responsibility of Madurai Adheenam,
from that day till now, unbroken I am doing puja as a tradition. I'll sit and invoke
my own presence and offer. It'll be very cute if you see the puja. l'll sit with
so much of joy and I will feel exactly almost like my own hand putting it on myself! But
it is such a joy!
So, one disciple asked me, 'What is this Swamiji? You do your puja and run to satsang?
Are you going to do this your whole life? Forever?'
Please understand, the moment he asked, I know that the idea of "boredom" is a pattern
in him. Immediately, I told him, 'First thing, understand, not only my whole life,
EVEN AFTER I LEAVE THE BODY I AM GOING TO BE DOING THIS! I am going to be doing this
forever as Akshardhama! Forever and ever. From my Akshardhama I'll continuously be
available to you. You will see, all over the world, in all my Samadhis, people will gather
every morning, do Pada Puja, and sit for satsangh, Upanishad with me. When I am in the body,
when my body is moving, when my vocal cord is functioning, it is "Satsangh", "Nithya
Satsangh". When that does not function, it is "Nithya Upanishad"! That's all!
It is going to be my action whether I am in the body or after I leave the body. He could
not understand, the disciple could not understand.
I wanted to tell him and tell every one of you, if any action brings you tiredness and
boredom, you already have a belief of "impossibility", the subtle "impossibility" is already
developed in you. I tell you, beauty in the action is "Possibility". We all know how
to beautify our body and skin. We need to know how to beautify our actions.
When you are carrying "possibility" and acting, every action brings more and more
joy and excitement. You will grow younger and younger. Your face will become more graceful,
more younger, more beautiful. Very rarely I have seen people growing younger. One person,
without doubt I can say, is Sathya Sai Baba. He grew younger and younger and younger. The
more time passes; he was becoming more graceful and more younger. Without any controversy
or doubt I will tell very clearly and boldly, one person I have seen in my life growing
younger and younger and younger is Sathya Sai Baba. I have seen Yogi Ram Surat Kumar
also. Not only his face and the being, even the lifestyle, everything. Bhagwan Ram Surat
Kumar, the more number of years, the more he became like a child, he was growing younger.
I tell you, the same Haridwar to Delhi if you walk with the idea of "impossibility",
SDHD, you will not even cross Roorkee. Before that itself, in some Ganga canal you may fall
and die! With SDHD, you will not even cross Roorkee. If you walk the same road with the
idea of "possibility", without SDHD, every step will give you excitement, and by the
time you reach Delhi, you will have all the excitement of Delhi and you get excited to
do more walking, more yatra!
I tell you honestly when I started on my yatra, please understand let it be on record. When
I started my parivrajaka yatra I never thought or planned I'll walk the length and breadth
of India, I will spend so much time in my Parivrajaka Yatra. The first few days of the
yatra I carried the idea of "possibility", that's all. The concept of "possibility"
gave me so much courage, so much joy; I never imagined I will spend nine full years. God.
See, a person who is more awake, for him one day is equivalent to the three days of a normal
man.
See, even for Inner Awakening, all the IA Graduates, understand, you guys did not go
through twenty-one days' program; you have gone through sixty-three days' program in
twenty-one days! Because, the number of hours you are working just see. Morning 4 o'clock
you have to get up am I right? Ah sorry 3 because 4 you have to be in the yoga; 3 you
have to get up and 4 you have to be here. From 3. What time do you go to bed? 9 or 10,
sometimes 11! In the normal every day, regular day, average a man works six to seven hours
a day. Here, come on see how many hours! And that also all the emotional roller coasters,
ups and downs and so much of cleansing! So, three days' action you go through in one
day, understand? External cleaning, internal cleaning, internal internal-cleaning!
So, I was this kind of a person. Too many hours means too many number of waking hours
was my lifestyle from the beginning. So, I never imagined, nine years -- nine years
in my lifestyle means 9 into 4. 36 years; because for me there is no other thing, no
dreaming and sleeping state -- I never thought so many years I'll spend in Parivrajaka
Yatra. Now, I remember, when I am going around Haridwar -- I have not spent years in Haridwar;
surely months only at different different times; but months only, not years -- but
I feel like as if I know the whole Haridwar! Because, I don't keep quiet; I will be walking
around, going everywhere, going to every temple, going to every ashram, going to every place.
The active lifestyle. I tell you, because that possibility gave me the excitement, only
now when I look back I am shocked nine years I spent in Parivrajaka! Means, going from
place to place, not being stable in one place. God!
Please understand take this one lesson, intranalyze this one truth: It may be same number of steps,
same distance, but the effort, result, everything will be different if you carry "possibility"
with you. I tell you, when you travel with "possibility" idea from Haridwar to Delhi,
with idea of "possibility", even if you have walked the same number of steps, you
will forget many times you walked or you struggled so much.
To tell you honestly, when I describe, it looks like "struggle" for all of you,
my Parivrajaka time. Otherwise, it was simply "HoneySun".
Travel in your life also with the "possibility" in your heart. You will see, one: every step
does not tire you; it adds to more and more excitement. See, when you walk with "impossibility",
every step adds anxiety, not excitement. When you walk with "possibility", every step
adds excitement, and when you reach the goal you won't even feel tired that you did so
much, because when you were walking you did not feel tired. See, when you were walking
if you did not feel tired, after reaching you will not feel the tiredness memory. But,
with the idea of "impossible" while you are walking, you will feel tired; you may
not reach; by mistake if you reach, it will give you the idea 'Oh, with so much difficulty.....'
I tell you, I don't feel at all I have struggled to do anything in my life. That's why, still,
I don't care about all this opposition, abusal, illegal attacks; I am not at all bothered.
Actually, these guys who are abusing, spreading lies, spreading rumours, they should have
a small trailer of my inner-space. They should get to look into my inner-space. They will
really, they will really be upset! Because they will be thinking I am giving too much
of importance to them in my inner-space, when they look there and they find that they are
not even there, they will be really upset, because they really expect that I should be
afraid of them, or I should be frightened of them, or I should have at least a little
concern. This is too much! What to do?
I tell you one thing, I tell all these guys who are abusing us, attacking us illegally,
immorally, and lying about us, spreading rumours, I want to tell to all of you, please understand,
do not fight with a man who does not have vengeance! Understand, this is the secret
of life. I don't have any vengeance, I don't have any violence. My inner-space is full
of power. Don't fight with a guy who don't have vengeance. You will fall and collapse,
fail bitterly! See, only a person with vengeance will become tired, will become bored, will
feel he is doing so much. A person without vengeance will never feel he is doing too
much. I neither feel I am doing too much, nor I have any vengeance against anybody,
or I have anger. No, nothing!
Understand, one of the very important lessons in the life: Don't fight with a guy who
don't have vengeance; you will lose the game! Always fight with a fellow who has vengeance;
you will always win the game! Please understand, the fellow with vengeance, even if he is too
big a guy, you are too small a guy, you just go with the space of without vengeance, go
with completion, you will just win him! I am still working on trying to get some of
the Akashic records to find out how did a few Akhada sadhus fail in war. I want to study
because many of our Akhada sadhus were established on Nididhyasana. Only after they are established
in Nididhyasana level, when the cosmic shift has happened, they are sent to war. A few
wars they lost. How did they lose, I want to study? Maybe before some emergency.
I think some of the people have been sent to war before the training. That might have
been the reason for their loss. Otherwise I tell you a violence-free man can never be
conquered. It's a law of life! Violence-free man can never be conquered. My victory declares,
not just my victory, but the victory of dharma, I am telling you, my victory over all these
abusive elements, anti-spiritual elements, anti-social elements, anti-humanity elements,
anti-national elements, proves this one truth: A non-violent person can never be conquered.
You will always lose if you are fighting with a non-violent person, because he is so powerful.
I tell you, a non-violent person will be so powerful inside, he will not have any wound
inside and he knows very beautifully he will handle the situation, and he knows what to
do. When you are filled with violence, you will not know what to do; you will enter foolishly
into a small ashram and break, beat that Swami there, and get into trouble.
I tell you, that is why, in tradition, always before war, warrior has to do tapas, he has
to do tapas. Whether it is Arjuna or Bhima, first they have to do tapas, become non-violent,
powerful. Only then any war.
I tell you, carry this space of "Possibility"; you will always win in all wars. No one can
win over you in any war, because the space of "Possibility" excites you more and
more, inspires you more and more, brings rejoice in you. You can see in my life: Really, people
thought, 'How can Swamiji do twenty-one day program continuously?' First year, we
did one; second year, we did two; third year four, fourth year we did six, sorry third
year we did one, because of the abusal and attacks; but fourth year, we did four; and
fifth year, we did six; sixth year, we did eight; and seventh year, we are doing twelve!
Yes, 2008 -- One; 2009 -- Two; 2010, because of the attack and abusal -- One; 2011 -- Four;
2012 -- Six; 2013 -- Eight; Now 2014 -- Twelve. It is only just multiplying! By next year,
I am training acharyas. I'll do in one spot; acharyas will be going around and doing in
different places.
Understand, carry the space of "Possibility"; every day action will only lead you to more
and more excitement. Every Inner Awakening only excites me, not tires me. I am only excited
to spend more time with people, to be with people. Every day Kalpataru only excites me;
it doesn't tire me. I tell you, in your life, carrying the space of "Possibility" in
your heart is "Kalpataru". So, meditate on this one truth: Carrying the space of "Possibility"
in your heart is "Kalpataru".
Essence of today's satsangh is this one line: CARRYING THE SPACE OF "POSSIBILITY"
IN YOUR HEART IS "KALPATARU".
Let you
all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share and explode in eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
