MORNING SATSANG BY PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA

Nithyanandeshwara Samaarambhaam

Nithyanandeshwari Madhyamaam |

Asmath Aachaarya Paryanthaam

Vandhey Guru Paramparaam ||

I welcome all of you with my love and blessings.

Blessings for the Baroda Dhyanapeetam coming on the two-way video-conferencing after a long time!

And, blessings for Winston-Salem Dhyanapeetam.  Winston-Salem, you have a unique history.  My first satsangh outside India is conducted in Winston-Salem!  Winston-Salem, North Carolina, your city is the place I did my first satsangh outside India; not San Jose....; that and all is different.  The day I landed in USA, I did my first satsangh in Winston-Salem.  That way you are part of the history of Dhyanapeetam!

Today, 21^st Inner Awakening beginning!  And 21^st eN-Genius!

As usual, the moment I am back in Bidadi, the Brahmotsava started.  Today we have started the Rajarajeshwari Brahmotsava.  Yesterday Ganesha Puja started.  And today, early morning, Dwajaarohanam happened.  Brahmotsava, celebrating the Cosmic Mother for the next eleven days! 

Today is Ratha Sapthami also.  Means, Surya (the Sun) is changing his wheels, the direction of movement.

For the next ten days we will be celebrating the Cosmic Mother and her presence and blessings.

Today I will expand on a very important subject of “Completion and Permutation-Combination of your Mental Layers”.  Please listen!  Completion and the Permutation-Combination of your mental layers!  How the basic cognition of your life and what you think as changeable rules of life and unchangeable rules of life, what you think as possible and impossible, how the permutation-combination of that leads to incompletion or completion.   

Listen!  Every one of you believe something is possible for you, something is impossible for you.  You think some things are possible even if you don’t do anything, some things are possible if you put a little effort, some things are forced on you even if you don’t want.  Same way, some things are impossible, some things can be done with a little effort, some things how much ever you try you cannot do.  You have different, different perceptions. 

Please understand, sometimes a man lives with such kind of perceptions.  You will be afraid of a disease which is never going to happen, but you may not be afraid of a danger or possibility of an accident in your workplace where every day you are involved in it.  For example, you may be cherishing so much the possibility of cancer for you; but you may not cherish, in your inner-space you may feel the possibility of accident in that machine in which you are directly working the whole day is impossible, you may not perceive the fear of accident, you may feel that is impossible.  You may feel the fear of cancer because the next guy, the guy who is working next to you is smoking.  The passive fear of cancer looks very much possible for you.  And the machine in which you are working, your hand will go into that, the possibility of that accident looks unperceivable for you.  Please understand, I am not saying whether you will get cancer or not get cancer, or whether you will get into accident or not get into accident.  Here I am talking about perception, the permutation-combination of perception....the permutation-combination of perception.

Please understand, I wanted you to understand this concept very deeply, because understanding this concept will lead you to the liberated thinking.  Sometimes the straight possible negative happenings or accidents will not even be impacting your decision-making, because you don’t entertain incompletion or fear about it.  For example, this small fear you entertain that ‘this fellow constantly smoking, I may get cancer because of that smoking’, because of that fear, you may want to change the place.  But every day you are working in a machine which is very risky; even if you doze for a moment, your hand or head will be cut!  But, in your cognition, you don’t perceive that as a big fear; so you don’t even feel like a change in job. 

I have seen some doctors, just if some patient comes with a cough or cold, they will cover themselves with mask and everything; but when they are doing surgery for a HIV patient, they won’t even care to protect themselves!  It is because of your perception.  Please understand, I am not saying you will get HIV or not get HIV, or you will get cough or not get cough, I am not talking about that; all I am talking is, your perception plays a major role in your decision-making than the reality. 

Whenever you are asked to make a decision by your mind, sometimes very foolishly, I have seen.....  One person came to be a brahmachari in the ashram..... and ran away!  Then, later on, he came to do a program, and I asked him, ‘Why did you run away?’  He said, ‘I am afraid of snakes.  I thought here there are some snakes, and they will come into my room and bite me!’  And this fellow is an electrician.  Whole day he works on electricity.  There is so much possibility of electric shock.  But this fellow, he will not care.  He is such a careless fellow, he will get on the electric poles without wearing chappals (rubber footwear for protection).  He will touch the live wires without proper protection.  Death due to electrocution is 99% possibility for him.  Death due to snake bite will be only 0.0001% possibility for him.  But what makes him fear is his perception. 

Please understand, whenever your mind forces you to take a decision showing some reason, don’t believe it.  It is not a matter of fact; it is a matter of perception.  Your incompletion is being justified by the mind and you are forced to believe that as a matter of reality.  Please understand, the matter of perception being shown to you as a matter of fact is powerlessness.  The matter of perception shown to you as a matter of fact is powerlessness. 

Today, I am in the mood of Inner Awakening!  The Utsava has started!  The moment the Dwajaarohana happened, the Utsava has started!

Please listen, I made very long statements today.  I will try to repeat and break that into small bits and pieces and try to tell you.

The “matter of perception” being made to be believed as a “matter of fact” is incompletion.  That is the first thing.  A “matter of fact” is made to be believed as a “matter of perception” also is powerlessness.  Sometimes, the matter which is a fact, you overlook it; it is not perceived as a reality.  That is ignorance, powerlessness.  The permutation-combination of facts being made to be perceived as a perception, and perceptions being perceived as a fact, this permutation-combination leads to bound, bondage thinking, suffocating thinking. 

Listen!  The source of this wrong permutation-combination is incompletion.  The more and more you complete, the more and more the facts will become facts, and perceptions will become perceptions.  The beauty is, when you know the fact as a fact, perception as a perception, and you don’t even change, you go with it, it is called “Leela”.  You know fact as a fact, and perception as a perception, and you don’t even bother about changing it, you just go with it....it is called “Leela”. 

Fact is a fact is a fact.  Perception is a perception is a perception.  If you support any one incompletion, the complicated permutation-combination makes life bound.....makes life bound.

Please understand, if you just do this one homework.....  Today I wanted all of you to spend at least one hour with yourself.  Identify at least –

·        Five perceptions which are perceived by you almost as a fact and which are forcing you to make decisions, and

·        Five facts which are being perceived by you as a perception and not inspiring you or instigating you to make decisions.         

Discover these five (the first five) and these five (the second five).  Complete with all the ten. 

I am not asking you to discover all the perceptions which look like facts, and all the facts looking like perceptions.  I am not asking you to complete with all that.  No!  You are neither capable nor intelligent to complete with all that in one day.  And I will not force that on you.  If I force something which you are not capable or intelligent to handle, you will fall into SDHD (Self-Doubt, Hatred, Denial); you will always have that as a back-up plan.  ‘I will try to listen to my Master.  If it doesn’t work, I will fall into SDHD – Plan-B.  If Plan-A doesn’t work out, I have Plan-B.  And if Plan-B doesn’t work out, I have Plan-C.  I have one more plan!  Plan-B, Plan-C, Plan-D.’  I am not asking you to complete with all the perceptions perceived as fact, and all the facts perceived as perception. 

Just find out five facts and complete with them.  What will happen you know?  You will start understanding that all perception perceived as fact is not fact, and all fact perceived as perception is not perception.  Even if I poke holes in the argument of your mind, I am successful. 

Please understand, in the Cosmic Law, you can be given birth only if you are completely convinced about your ignorance.  Even if your ignorance had a few holes, the benefit of doubt is showered on you and you are shown the possibility for enlightenment.  Listen!  How in the Court of Law beyond doubt a person’s guilt should be proved, beyond doubt you should prove it that this person has committed a crime, only then he can be punished.  Even if there is a doubt in the Prosecution’s logic, even if holes are poked in the Prosecution’s logic, he cannot be punished.  The benefit of the doubt has to be given to the accused.  Same way, your logic which keeps you in incompletion, your logic which keeps you in ignorance, bound thinking, even if I am successful in poking a few holes in it, Kaalabhairava gives you the benefit of doubt, and gives you the possibility for liberated thinking. 

Please understand, just this one process today.....today just this one process.  It may not take more than one hour.  If you are already practicing Completion, it will take only twenty to thirty minutes.  If you are new to the Completion process, it may take one hour.  Just catch!  I wanted today this process to be done even by all our gurukul kids.  Gurukul kids, you will have one hour specially allotted.  You will do this and then share with the teachers.  The teachers also will guide you.  You will guide the teachers and the teachers will guide you; both.  Because, gurukul is based on “Sahanavavathu sahanou bhunakthu sahaveeryam karavavahai.....” – “Let both of us grow together.....”.

Please understand, please understand, the permutation-combination of incompletion and powerlessness becomes stronger than your inner-space of “Advaita Anubhooti”.  That is why you believe you have become many. 

Yesterday, one of my Swamis had a very serious question. 

She asked me, ‘Swamiji, can you spare a few minutes?’ 

I laughed and said, ‘Please go ahead.’ 

‘See, answer my fundamental question: Why I forgot my real nature and started becoming human-being?’

I started laughing.  ‘You have raised a subject which is being discussed for the last I don’t know how many millions of years on the Planet Earth!’  Anyhow.....  I said, ‘I will give you a very practical answer.’ 

That answer will be useful to all of you also.  That is why now I brought this subject.  Please listen!  Listen!  Very practical answer: ‘Because of you entertaining your incompletions, Self-Doubt, Hatred, Denial (SDHD) as an entertainment!’ 

Please listen, when the SDHD and incompletions started in you, they were not capable of binding you.  They were only entertainment.  When you start smoking, your first cigarette is not capable of addicting you.....just entertainment.  You always have the confidence, ‘Tomorrow I will throw it.  All my friends are there.  Just one day.....Phoo....just today one time.  What is there...!’  As an entertainment, when you are powerful and they have no power to bind you, at that moment of confidence you allowed them to dance around you.  And suddenly, when you are unaware, they catch you!  When they become bondage, you think, ‘Ohhh...why did I allow them?’  Once you become an addict, you think, ‘Ohhhh....why did I pick up the first cigarette?  Why did I pick up the first glass?’  Understand, when they came you were powerful; that is why you entertained.  When ignorance came, you were powerful; that is why you entertained.  For example, when you are falling asleep, you always have the confidence that if any dream comes you are more powerful than that dream.  So you don’t have fear.  You lie down, entertain.  But in the dream, when a tiger is chasing you, when an elephant is forcing you, you think, ‘Oh, God!  What did I do?  What has happened to me?’  At that moment, you feel the suffocation and bondage.

Please understand, all incompletion, that “Dvaita Anubhava”, dual experience..... When I say “dual experience”, “Dvaita Anubhava”, in no way I am disrespecting the philosophy of Madhva or Ramanuja.  When I use the word “dual experience”, I mean “good and bad”, “right and wrong”, “dharma and adharma”, “vairagya and raga”.  So, this duality, this “dwandhwa”, when you experience this “dwandhwa”, duality, and you feel suffocated, bound by this duality, understand, you allowed them at a moment when you were more powerful and they were only entertainment, they were not able to have power over you at that time; that is the time you allowed them.  I tell you, never ever entertain incompletion even for entertainment sake.  Never ever entertain incompletions even for entertainment sake!  Because, before you know, it would have become bondage, suffocation in your thinking. 

The liberated thinking, please listen....  Today I am feeling so contented that I told some of the very beautiful truths in my satsangh today.  I very rarely feel job satisfaction. Today I really feel job satisfaction, because today what I shared if you go practice this process and if you completely poke holes in your incomplete logic which pushes you to make more and more incomplete decisions in your life..... Actually, I tell you, only a Guru is like your lawyer, your Defence Lawyer.  See he need not even prove that you are hundred percent innocent.  He just needs to poke holes in the Prosecution’s logic!  I just need to poke holes in your incompletion logic which makes you do more and more incompletion acts, which makes you do more and more incomplete acts.  If I poke holes in your logic and make you see the incompleteness of that logic, that is enough!  Mahadeva, Bole Baba, Ashutosha, who is always compassionate gives you the benefit of doubt and liberates you! 

Understand, Mahadeva, Mahakaala is the Judge, Guru is your Defence Lawyer, Maya is the Prosecution Lawyer.  But, unfortunately, you don’t stand with the Defence Lawyer; you go and stand with the Prosecution Lawyer!  And you go on saying, ‘Yes! Yes!’ to whatever he is saying in front of Mahakaala!  So, first of all, I have to poke a hole in the Prosecution Lawyer’s argument.  Then I have to tell you, ‘You fool, you are not a sinner!  You are Amrutasya Putraha!  This Prosecution Lawyer is making you believe you are a sinner and you always believe him and say ‘Yes’!’  The moment you understand the holes and jump this side, Mahakaala is waiting to give judgement in your favour.....Mahadeva is just waiting to deliver judgement in your favour! 

Understand, do this process today.  Please take one hour for you.  You can have any time – morning, evening – any time you want. 

·        See five perceptions which are perceived as fact and makes you make decisions. 

·        And see five facts which are perceived as a perception and you don’t attend to it or don’t care for it. 

·        See these two.  Sit and complete with it.  That’s all!  That’s all!

Completion is ability to see your illogical logic on which you were leading your life.  It is like seeing you got into the mud horse and entered the river to cross the river!  Whether you see it or not, what is going to happen is going to happen!  You think if you don’t realize it is a mud horse you are going to be saved?  If you understand it is a mud horse, with this mud horse you got into the river, at least you can drop the horse and swim.  Swimming is surrendering to the Guru.  Dumping the mud horse is dropping your SDHD, Self-Doubt, Hatred, Denial.

I wanted every one of you to spare at least one hour today.  Do this process; then you will understand how Completion is important in your daily life, Completion is important in your decision-making, Completion should become part of you. 

I will give the essence of today’s satsangh in Hindi because it is a very important subject.  I wanted this to be on record in Hindi.

SWAMIJI GIVES THE SATSANGH ESSENCE IN HINDI...........

With this, we will move to the Kalpataru process.  Before the Kalpataru process, a commercial break.  I should actually say “non-commercial break”, not “commercial break”.  The word “commercial break” is wrong; that word should not be used.  I should use the word “non-commercial” break.

So, now, let us enter into the Kalpataru process.  Please sit straight.     

Choose one thought you want to cause as reality, and look at all the doubts, incompletions you have about that thought.  Please understand, one thought you want to cause as reality, and pick all the incompletions and doubts you have about that thought.  Please pen down both. 

(After a few minutes...........)

Yes.....now let us start the process.  Please sit straight! 

Now I wanted to tell you two words –

·        One: What you want to create, decide it is already reality now.  Hold that space.

·        All the incompletions you have towards that reality, complete and drop them. 

Please understand, incompletions need to be completed and dropped.  You need to know, Completion process is not “brooding over”.  Sometimes when you make the Completion process as “brooding over”, you become more and more powerless and you start blaming the process or the Guru!  No!  Completion process is not “brooding over”.  It is being with the clarity about the illogic of the logic with which you created the incompletion.  When you have that awareness about the illogic of the logic with which you created the incompletion, Completion will not be “brooding over”.  Brooding over is “breeding” over!  Re-living is relieving.  When I say “complete”, I am not saying “brood over”; I am saying “re-live and relieve”. 

So, please understand, now whatever incompletions you have, you are going to re-live from the context of relieving, dropping, not in the context of brooding over to find which is right and which is wrong at that time.  When you try to find who is right and who is wrong at that time, it becomes brooding over; still you have the logic with which the incompletion is formed, who is right, who is not right. 

So, let us start the Completion process:

Please sit straight.  Close your eyes.  Hold the space of what you want to create as reality as reality now.  And all the incompletions, the Self-Doubts, Hatred, Denial you have around it, re-live from the context of relieving.  Don’t brood over to “breed” over!  Re-live from the context of relieving.  Namah Shivaya!

COMPLETION PROCESS IN PROGRESS.....................

Relax.  I bless you all.  The space you created, let it become reality.  My blessings!

Today we have Inner Awakening Level-1 and 2 and 3.  All three starting!  So nice! 

Ohio, my blessings!  Our temple will be protected!  You don’t need to worry!  Don’t worry!  The temple will be protected!  Ohio-Prayag, Prasidita, the temple will be protected!  The temple will  be protected!  Don’t worry at all!  I am with you.  Blessings!  The temple will be protected!  Mahadeva will protect his place!

So, all the participants, if you have come for Inner Awakening level-1, 2, 3, don’t come for Kalpataru Darshan.  Otherwise, Kalpataru participants can come. 

I bless you all!  Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility and Enriching and Causing eternal bliss, Nithyananda!  Thank you!
