I welcome all of
you with my love and blessings. I
especially welcome the devotees who have gathered for Kalpataru Darshan in
Oman-Sivagangai and Pattanam Dhyanapeetam.
Today, I will
expand on KALPATARU.
Kalpataru is
nothing but the space you carry inside.
Please understand, I wanted all of you to know from my experience, last
few days we were going to well-known old Mahadeva temples – Daksheshwar Mandir,
where the Daksha Yajna happened, where Veerabhadra killed Daksha and destroyed
his Yajna, and Sati left the body, Mahadeva appeared and gave life back to Daksha;
it was a powerful energy center. And,
then, yesterday we went to Neelkanth Mahadev where Mahadeva drank the poison of
Halahala and saved the universe, protected the universe and took the risk of
Halahala poison on himself. I was
wondering, in both places the deity was too small. I started contemplating: Why? Is this done purposely? Such a huge temple, well-known temple, the
whole city has happened just around the temple.
The city is also known as Neelkanth.
There is a huge settlement around the temple. The deity can be only six inches, maximum six
to nine inches; but a whole settlement around the temple for the temple! And, on festival days like Shivaratri, five
lakh devotees come it seems, they were telling.
Both the temples belong to our Akhada.
I was wondering...!
Same way, if you
go to Varanasi, not only Kashi, the whole of Hinduism is centred on
Vishwanatha, the whole of Hinduism is built around Kashi Vishwanatha, but the
deity is so small! I was contemplating
and wondering, what is the message our masters wanted to give by keeping the
deity so small in all the major temples?
The Badrinath deity is only twelve inches! In Kedarnath and Yamunotri, you can just
carry the deity with you; it is only twelve inches! What is the message they are trying to give?
Please
understand, by the time you reach the temple, the space you generate inside
you, the devotion you generate inside you, the feeling you generate inside you,
the space which happens inside you, is the deity! They are saying very clearly, don’t expect
something big outside. Outside whatever
is there is just to remind you of the inside space. If there is a huge, big deity, your whole
attention will be on that, thinking you have come all the way to see what is
there externally. But, when the deity is
too small, not as you expect with some shape, jewels, clothes, decked, suddenly
you will realize our masters are asking something more. You can see the photograph of Neelkanth
Mahadev (photograph is shown on the TV screen); by one hand you can cover the
whole deity. You may not even be able to
find the deity, where the deity is. But
the space you achieve, that is the deity!
That is God!
In Daksheshwar
Temple, there is no deity. Actually, the
main deity, the Shiva Linga, by being worshipped continuously for ages, it has
almost become like ground level, a little lower than the ground. They call it “Bhu Linga”; means, the Linga
has become ground level.
Then, what is
it? What for are we travelling to all these great temples? Understand, by the time you reach there, the
space you generate inside you by the remembrance is the deity! Yesterday, experientially I saw when I sat in
front of the Neelkanth Mahadev. When I
just sat in front of Neelkanth Mahadev, the deity may be small, but the
presence it generates, the experience it can generate, I was just shocked! Wow! What an energy!
So, understand,
the space you create inside is Kalpataru!
The space you create is Kalpataru.
That is why all our temples and ashrams, centres, it may be just one
small room in a village, or one small room in some apartment complex in a busy
city like New York, it may be a small one room in a remote village like
Seeragapadi or Pattanam, or one apartment in New York Queens, or a huge, vast,
palatial building like St. Louis or Los Angeles or Bidadi, wherever.......the
Presence, THAT functions, the Presence, THAT radiates, the Presence, THAT lives
through! Understand, the presence you
carry is Kalpataru. The presence you
carry in you, the space you create in you is Kalpataru.
Sometimes I
wonder when I just look around the banks of the Ganga and the banks of the
Cauvery, and the banks of New York River.....sometimes I wonder, in the banks
of Ganga, banks of Yamuna, Cauvery, Narmada, the Himalayas,
everywhere..............
(break in
transmission on eNTV and other channels because of power failure......)
(Swamiji: Sorry
for the interruption....because a little power failure here......)
Understand,
sometimes I wonder how the same science is working for a person from Guadeloupe
to Kanchipuram, Phoenix to Tiruvannamallai, all over the world. I realized that, finally, end of the day,
human-beings are the same all over the world, understand. We are all embodied consciousness. Consciousness has used the body, that’s all,
as a human-being. And we can, our
consciousness is capable enough to create what we want in our life. Whether you are a tired, retired, old lady,
always waiting to die or about to die, or a young, energetic, excited man who
is waiting to enter into life, you carry the consciousness, you are embodiment
of that consciousness, you carry that advaithic experience, you carry that
universal energy, you carry that “Brahmanda”.
Please
understand, losing the memory of the experience does not take away the truth
from you. Because you forgot your
oneness with the Ultimate, don’t think oneness has been taken away from
you. Because you forgot, you are let to
live in that forgetfulness, the state you created. Because you dream at night, don’t think the
bed in which you are sleeping is taken away from you. In the night, while you are dreaming, you may
be dreaming as if you are being chased in the forest by a tiger. Don’t think just because you are dreaming
that you are running in a forest, the bed on which you are sleeping has been
taken away! No! Because you wanted to have that dream, you
are allowed to have that dream; but the truth remains as a truth even while you
are dreaming.
Same way, the
pure oneness of the consciousness, the pure non-dual oneness of the
consciousness remains as a truth whether you are an old village lady waiting to
die in a remote corner of the world, or a young, energetic man, excited to
enter into life. Whoever you may be,
whatever may be your caste, creed, gender, State, nationality, background,
education, your inner-space is capable of creating what you want, your inner-space
has the power to create life of what you want, your inner-space is intelligent
enough to do what you want.
Have courage,
have strength! Have courage, have
strength! I can say, the whole Vedanta
can be reduced to just these two statements: “Have Courage! Have Strength!” Go on creating a powerful space for you. Go on creating a powerful space for you. The powerful space you create for yourself,
the powerful space you create for yourself is the strength. The ability to create the powerful space for
yourself is the wealth of life.
I will give the
essence of today’s satsangh in Hindi.
Understand, the
essence of today’s satsangh:
The space you
create is wealth. The ability to create
the right space is wealth for human-beings.
Whether it is health, knowledge, enlightenment or wealth, your ability
to create your space is your wealth.
So, we will now
move to the process of Kalpataru.
Pattanam Ashram,
Ma Jyotikananda, you guide the Kalpataru process in Tamil.....guide the
Kalpataru process in Tamil, Ma!
All the
participants in Oman-Sivagangai and Pattanam Dhyanapeetam, please pick up paper
and pen. Think through, listen to
yourself and write only ONE desire which you wanted to make as reality. Right one desire which you wanted to make as
reality. And all the incompletions you
think about this desire, the ideas of impossibilities you have about this
desire, pen down all of them. Take a few
minutes and write.
(After a few
minutes.....)
Please sit
straight. Close your eyes. Oman-Sivagangai and Pattanam Dhyanapeetam,
sit straight, close your eyes. Start
creating the space for the one desire you want to cause as reality. Complete with all the incompletions and drop
it. Create a space responsibly to make
that one desire into reality. Please
create the space that the desire you want to cause as reality has already
become real, it is reality in the present moment. Drop all the incompletions. Complete all the incompletions and drop
it. Continue to hold on to the space to
create what you want as reality.
KALPATARU
MEDITATION IN PROGRESS.....................
Relax. You can open your eyes. I bless you all! Let the space you carry become reality! Let the space you created become
reality! Namah Shivaya!
First, we will
have Kalpataru Darshan for all the devotees gathered in Oman-Sivagangai. Then we will move to Pattanam
Dhyanapeetam. Oman, can you call and
connect?
KALPATARU
DARSHAN IN PROGRESS.....................
I bless you
all! Let you all radiate with Integrity,
Authenticity, Responsibility and Enriching, with eternal bliss,
Nithyananda! Thank you!
