20th May 2012: Establish yourself in self-remembrance
Yesterday officially we inaugurated our center in Sri Lanka Matta Kallapa, Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam
is formed officially in Sri Lanka in Matta kallappa. I have donated from Dhyanapeetam
one crore rupee and in Ceylon money 2.5 Crore. It will soon be transferred legally to Sri
Lankan Institution. I have already allotted, now it will be transferred. All our social
service activities in Sri Lanka, mainly for the people who were affected by the war will
start in full fledged way.
See, Tibetans are also persecuted but they lost their land. Tibetans lost their land
but they survived by keeping their culture, spiritual tradition alive! Now, Sri Lankan
Tamils also should do the same thing. You might have lost in the political war but don't
lose in the cultural war. Keep your culture alive, keep your tradition alive, keep your
spiritual strength alive. Through that you can come back always! You can always come
back.
See now Dalai Lama is having a big coming back. I hope and expect and bless Let Tibetans
get their land back. Same way I assure O people of Sri Lankan Tamil, I assure - Keep your
culture, spiritual tradition alive. You will get your land back.
And today, I have one more wonderful news for all you guys -- 57 big organizations,
not small, Big organizations are gathering today together in Madurai to have Madurai
Adheenam Protection Committee. Please understand, 52 big organizations. Actually in that -- one
organization has 4300 organizations under them. So, totally around 4350 organizations
are supporting us. Today they are all gathering to give a press meet.
And I've also one more good news for you guys -- 400 people have taken up yesterday
- the praana samyama. The praana samyama is now being practiced from day before yesterday
by 400 people across the world and once you all complete the 21 days, I'll initiate
you all in hunger-free and thirst-free samyama and now I have been very successful in making
your system function without losing energy or any basic things and without having food.
I'm very successful in initiating people. We'll be able to do it.
Let's enter into today's satsang, In Bagavad Geeta 4th chapter Jnana Karma Sanyasa Yoga
31st verse.
"Yagya-Shishtaa-Mruta-Bhujo Yaanthi Brahma Sanaatanam
Naayam Lokostya-yagnyasaya kutonyak-kurusattama"
Yagya-Shishtaa-Mruta-Bhujaha Yaanthi Brahma Sanaatanam, Naayam Lokosti yagnyasaya kutah
anyaha kurusattama
The new translation "The one who experiences the state of imperishableness that remains
after sacrifice moves to the state of external expansion but for the one that does not sacrifice
even this ordinary life is not there. What to say about other worlds, other states of
being, O best among Kurus."
If you understand this one verse, you will iunderstand the impact of praana samyama on
your life. Bhagwan is continuously addressssing about praana samyama in this verse also. He
says "having tasted the nectar of the results of such sacrifices" -- Please understand,
here the word "sacrifice" means offering all your actions into praana -- means being
established into praana, the self-remembrance, even while you are functioning in all actions,
even while you are doing all actions.
Bhagwan is continuing actually last 3 verses are on the same subject Praana samyama. He
is telling you about the benefits and now he is telling - If you are not established
in praana, self-remembrance, even this world you won't get., what about the other worlds
-- forget about it. He is very clear. He is making it very clear categorically. Please
understand -- Sri Krishna have a very logical and systematic, strategic brain! He is not
Bhole Baba, like Shiva. If you read whole Shiva Sutras, not a single instruction is
categorical! He says, if you want meditate on the heart center. If not meditate on the
agnya centre. If not -- sit observing your breath. If you read the whole Shiva Sutras,
it is all about options. Bhole babas always give you options. If not, do this. If not,
do that. If you don't even want to do that, all right do whatever you want. I will support
you. But Krishna is not Bhole baba. He is clear! In the first sutra, he defines the
process. In the next verse he says about the benefits. In the third verse "If you are
not going to do this, what are you going to become". Means categorical. He says about
the plus, minus and the process. He is very clear. Bhagavad Geeta is very apt for common
mass because he is very clear. Categorical.
Please understand, Bhagwan is very clear in this verse. He says if you are not going to
establish yourself in self-remembrance, praana, you won't achieve even this world. Then
forget about other worlds, Higher worlds! Even this ordinary human world is not for
you. He emphasizes on self-remembrance. Ordinary human beings want categorical instructions.
In this Bagawan is very categorical. He says One who experiences this state of imperishableness
by sacrificing all the actions into Praana, moves to the state of eternal explosion -- Enlightenment.
But for the one who does not establish himself in Praana, even this ordinary life, ordinary
world is not there, what to say about the other worlds -- impossible! So Bhagawan is
very clear, categorically in this verse saying -- Establish yourself. Establish yourself
in a powerful Praana Samyama -- Self Remembrance. You don't even need to comment on this verse.
It is very clearly. It says if you Establish yourself in Praana you explode into eternal
explosion of enlightenment. If not even this world you won't get it -- forget about
other worlds. That's all! Nothing else. Over.
So even today I initiate all of you in to Praana Samyama, Please take up Praana Samyama.
Now all of you just sit for few minutes.
Let you all feel the presence of Meenakshi Sundareshwara.
