MORNING SATSANG BY PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA

Nithyanandeshwara Samaarambhaam

Nithyanandeshwari Madhyamaam |

Asmath Aachaarya Paryanthaam

Vandhey Guru Paramparaam ||

Today I have a very happy announcement.  In Mumbai we are starting one more gurukul.  There was an existing gurukul which we affiliated with our Sangha, and from today it will be called “Nithyananda Veda Vidya Gurukulam, Mumbai”.  My blessings to all the children!  My blessings to all the acharyas and students in the Nithyananda Veda Vidyalaya!  Blessings!  Blessings to the gurukul kids!  I am so happy to see gurukuls expanding and spreading all over the world.  O, Veda Matha, I commit with you, soon I will make at least a hundred gurukuls all over the world, at least 108 gurukuls all over the world to continue to teach the Vedas, spiritual truths and Sanatana Hindu lifestyle.  Alright....

Today, the tenth day of the Rajarajeshwari Brahmotsavam!  Devi is gracing us on the Pearl Palanquin, “Muktamaya Chaturashreya”, the Pearl Palanquin on which Devi is gracing us.  With Sridevi and Saraswathi serving her, Devi is gracing us on the Pearl Palkhi on the tenth day of the Brahmotsavam.

Today is also Maashi-Magham, an important auspicious day for Devi.

And, just yesterday, I asked my sannyasis to give me a report on how many new gurukuls we can start all over the world.  Already we have in seventy places infrastructure ready all over the world to start the gurukuls.  And to run a religious school you don’t need any government’s permission as per the Indian Constitution and that of the countries which are secular all over the world.  So, soon we will be starting many gurukuls all over the world, because in many places in India and in many countries which are secular, which allow all the religions to exist, we have infrastructure.  So, may be, we will take two-three more months to start the enrolling, registration and placing the teachers and all that.  I commit, O, Veda Matha!  O, Bharat Matha, Parameshwari, we will start soon hundreds of gurukuls all over the world and revive the Sanatana Hindu Dharma!

And Malaysia Nithyananda Hindu Sangham is giving free Anna Dhaan and conducting the Teppotsavam in Singamuga Kaliamman Temple, Penang.  And Malaysia Nithyananda Hindu Sangham is enriching eighty-thousand people by giving Anna Dhaan on Maasi-Magham.  And they are distributing food and offering various services, the Science of Completion, and giving, sharing free books.  My blessings to the Singamuga Kaliamman Temple Penang Project and blessings to the Nithyananda Hindu Sangham, Malaysia for participating in it! 

Let us enter into today’s satsangh. 

I am happy to inaugurate more and more gurukuls all over the world.  We have also received many requests in Karnataka where people have offered money and property to start gurukuls in North Karnataka and many areas.  I thank those devotees for your support.  And, soon we will be starting those gurukuls, because we are now training more and more teachers.  Once we train we will start.  And, after all, now the video-conferencing facility is available.  We can run as many gurukuls as possible all over the world.  And I can teach them every day through morning satsangh.

Today I want to talk about a very important subject.  Listen!  This subject will bring you success immediately just by listening and understanding.

Listen!  Many of us, once in a while, fortunately or unfortunately, right or wrong, get some inspiration and excitement and plan to do something.  Like your New Year vows, New Year oath!  Every year, you make a vow for yourself....and break it by the 7^th January!  If you are breaking the vow on 7^th January, you are a normal man.  If you are breaking the vow in February month, may be you have a weak will.  If you are breaking in March, you have a strong will, that’s all!  Anyhow, you will break it in three months, and this cycle repeats.  Same way, as a group, in your company, suddenly you wake up and try to achieve a goal, fix a goal.  In twenty days, if some other problem comes, the whole thing is forgotten!  You are back to – listen, listen to this technical term – you are back to your “unconscious sober routine”. 

I have seen our Global Sangha behaviour.  Suddenly if I say, ‘Come on!  Let us start 108 gurukuls!’, everyone will wake up; in the next one hour, I get messages: ‘We are doing...we are doing....we are doing....Hosur-2, Vaniyambadi-1, Mumbai-2, Haridwar-1, Los Angeles-1....’; everyone will send the messages committing, ‘San Jose-1.....’, everyone will commit.  It is not that when you are committing you are insincere.  No!  I don’t doubt your sincerity at all!  But, after ten days, you even forget what you committed and you are back to the same old unconscious routine lifestyle.

Listen!  Listen!  A man who is able to break the habitual unconscious routine behaviour is Leader.  It is not that you don’t have inspiration.  I have seen, whenever I declare, ‘Let us cause 1,000 lives for Inner Awakening!’, everyone wakes up and tells me big, big numbers, ‘Yes, we are doing this, we are doing this, we are causing lives...’  And after a few days, immediately after giving the number, they just go back to their sober routine, the unconscious routine in which they are sucked into.

Please listen, the unconscious sober routine keeps you to continue to be in the confusion and impossibility.  From the space of impossibility expecting miracles to happen and make your declarations into reality is what I call the worst criminally-lazy behaviour.  Listen!  The whole Hinduism is stuck in that behaviour.  I am seeing so many Hindu Swamis from soldier level to captain level, from soldier level to Commander-in-Chief level.  From the Swami who goes by bicycle to the Swami who owns private jet, I am seeing all the spectrum of levels, speaking to many of them.  It is very unfortunate, one big chunk is sitting with this idea that suddenly somebody will come and he will wake up every morning and the whole thing will be revived, new and fresh!  Yes, he will come, he will wake up, but YOU have to wake up!  He will come, he will call, but YOU have to wake up!

Falling into the same unconscious behaviour!  See, outwardly we want something, we declare something, we really show our passion for something.  But internally we are cheating ourselves by strongly supporting and believing our own SDHD (self-doubt, hatred, denial) – ‘I can’t do it.  Swamiji will do.  He is the man who can do it.  What can I do?  I am after all a small brahmachari who is already in depression.  And I am well-known for my depression and depressed face!’  Each one externally, outwardly share something, but internally we are cheating ourselves and others.  ‘What can I do?  I am just a Thanedar.  Loaded with my family work!  This...this....this!  I go there for entertainment.  Everybody they are saying “Three, Three, Four, Four”.  I thought I have to say “Six”.  So I said “Six”!’

Please listen!  Many times we don’t feel the urgency.  And if you don’t feel the urgency today, why will you feel it tomorrow?  Or, we have a very cunning mental thinking.  We are very cunning in our mental thinking that our cycle of behaviour is okay.  It is so unfortunate, human-beings, we are reduced to just clerks.  Either by fear we run like a slave, or by favour we will run like a dog!  It is very unfortunate this became our behaviour cycle: all the time running for fear or favour.  It is time, let each one of us expose our racket.  “Racket” means, outwardly saying something, internally thinking something else.  Understand, I wanted today this lesson, this homework to be practiced by all the gurukul kids.  All the gurukul kids also should practice this lesson in your every day behaviour: to see the gap between external words and internal thinking. 

“Racket” means, the behaviour or complaints we have again and again, where we are saying we are doing one thing, but we are doing something entirely different!  Entirely different!  We are so filled with impossibility that we are waiting just for one person to say no to give up our efforts!  And then, very abusive belief you have: ‘Swamiji, give me power that to whomever I speak they should be enriched.’  The beggar mentality!  If I have to give all the power, then why should you be alive?  You are given already all the powers!  Only when you express it and radiate it you will start enjoying it and playing with it and digest it and live it!  Their impossible behaviour they name it very simply by calling it “surrender” – ‘I have surrendered everything to Swamiji!’  And these people think it is called “devotion”!  No!  This is the worst abusal! 

Understand, the cycle of behaviour we have, I am giving you the example from how our Sangha functions.  You use this example and think for each one of your company, or the office in which you are working, or the school which you are running, or the institution you are part of.  You may be working in a government office, or an IT company, or a school.....whatever you are doing.....

So, listen...listen!  If you are constantly believing and filled with impossibility, in anything we do in our life, we will have minimal participation.  If you are an Assistant Engineer, if you are a Corporate CEO, if you are a Principal, if you are a politician, if you are a lawyer or a doctor, any profession, any field, you are already loaded with the racket of impossibility.  So, when you start itself, ‘I will try my best...’, means what?  Your best is not THE best.  Don’t go on claiming ‘I will try my best’.  Life is not going to reward you for YOUR  best.  This behaviour we all pick up and build within ourselves: before starting itself, filled with impossibility!  I am giving the example, this example, because I am seeing this so many times.  Before starting itself you feel, ‘I cannot enrich lives!  I cannot cause!  I know they are all saying, so I will try now.  I will try.  Let me pick up the phone.’  While you are pressing the number itself you will miss one number, and it will go to voice mail.  You will say, ‘Okay, it is going to voice mail.  So I will lie down.’  Understand, you are waiting for a small struggle to come in your life so that you can shut down and confirm your impossibility.  That is the mantra with which you are behaving, with which you are living.  And you name it as “Practical”!  “Very practical!”  ‘Swamiji, I am talking very practically, Swamiji!’  So, without knowing what is practical only this huge Sangha is created?  Please teach me this science of “Practical”!  Practical!  Listen!  Impossibility is not practicality!      

Today, every one of you should do this homework:  What is it that makes me again and again fall into the same racket?  What is it that makes me behave the same way I am behaving?  What is it that tires me, constantly makes me believe impossibility as my lifestyle?  Understand, believing impossibility as the lifestyle, and whatever you achieve, thinking the possibility was an accident, ‘Yes, once we had three-hundred, four-hundred people for Inner Awakening; that is an accident.  But as a default, it is not possible!’  That is why, many of you, whether you are in a Fortune 500 Company or Fortune 50 Company, all the time you feel this is the best peak of your career and the next the curve is going to come down.  Whether your loss or profit, or career, or profession, or life, you are always expecting the curve to come down so that you can live with the memory – ‘Wow!  You know, in 2012 we were in the peak!  How our peak season was you know?’  All the time you are planning to cherish the memory of that peak.  So, today we have to give up this racket behaviour where we declare, we do one thing outwardly, we intend one thing outwardly, and live totally different inwardly, think totally different inwardly.

Today everyone has to call themselves out, expose their own racket, so that others are aware, and in that process we have to complete with the complaints we have and complete with the impossibilities we have and give permission to others to wake us up whenever we repeat this racket again.  Morning Sangha meeting is nothing but calling out people who are repeating this racket again...repeating this racket again...repeating this racket again.  First of all, our Sangha, all our Thanedars, Kotharis, Mahants, Shrimahants, all of you should give up this racket.  The whole group
Sangha, actually our Global Sangha is doing this as a group racket!  Even a few people who would not have been part of this racket, like the Malaysia Sangha, now they also think that, ‘if everyone is doing this racket, come on let me also start’!  First we have to expose our racket and complete with these complaints and impossibilities and give others permission to call them out if they repeat this racket again.  That is why Sangha!  That is why Sangha is needed! 

‘Why do we entertain certain rackets?’  Ma Achala is asking.  Because we have certain pay-offs, benefits......it is not in alignment with our declaration.  If we recognize the pay-offs and accept it, then we can stop the racket.  See, for everyone in the Sangha, the pay-off is this lazy behaviour, cosy behaviour, and this survival syndrome: ‘Somehow I have got this Kothari, Thanedar position.  I am already a sannyasi; so I cannot be sent out.’  Not only in our Sangha, anywhere in the world, human-beings pick up this lifestyle.  See, anywhere, any organization, people always feel this organization is running on its own.   ‘I will try when I am there.’  The kind of group I am there all the time in the retirement mood.  They behave their whole life like workers, slaves.  People who feel, ‘I HAVE to!’ they become leader; that’s all; they become leader!  Actually, legal owner is not a leader.  Those who run are leaders.  The people who run it responsibly, they call the shots.  So people who take responsibility and call the shots, they are the leaders. 

Today everyone has to complete with all their complaints and incompletions, the hidden pay-offs you are carrying to run your racket.  “Racket” means, understand, this behaviour: declaring one thing outside, but living, thinking internally completely opposite!  Getting into the rut of putting the blame and complaints and incompletions on everyone.  This is what I call as “racket”.

Understand, with this racket, one of the dangers is, all of you get caught with this racket behaviour and start living with it, thinking that this is your natural behaviour, which is not true.  SDHD (Self-Doubt, Hatred, Denial) is not your natural behaviour even though it became a habit, even though it became a strong habit in you.  But any strong habit is only a “second nature”, not nature.  How much ever strong the behaviour may be, it will only be second nature; it will not be natural behaviour. 

Understand, today everyone in the Sangha should study why you declare something and behave and think in some other way.  It is not that this behaviour is going to affect the Sangha; it is going to affect YOU in every spectrum of your life, every dimension of your life!  Completing with all this and waking up is Kalpataru!

Today, the essence of today’s satsangh...the essence of today’s satsangh...listen, the essence of today’s satsangh:

Completeing with all the rackets – thinking in one way and behaving in another way – Completing with all these rackets is Kalpataru.  Only with this you start the science of enlightenment in you.

With this I will move to the Kalpataru process.  All the participants who have come here for Kalpataru Darshan and the participants who are in Hyderabad for Kalpataru Darshan, please pick up your paper and pen.  Write one thought you want to cause as reality, and all the impossibilities, doubts you have about causing that thought.  Please start penning down.

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

Now let us start the Kalpataru process.  Please sit straight.  Close your eyes.  Create the space for the thought you want to cause as reality.  Visualize that it has already become reality now.  And complete with all the impossibilities, self-doubt, self-hatred, self-denial...and complete and drop.  Hold the space for what you want to cause as reality.  Hold on to that space.  Namah Shivaya!

KALPATARU MEDITATION IN PROGRESS.....................

Relax.  I bless you all!  The space you hold, let it become reality!  The thought you want to cause as reality, let it become reality!  My blessings!

We will start the Kalpataru Darshan in Bidadi and Hyderabad.  First, darshan in Bidadi.  Then we will have in Hyderabad.
