PRAY FOR ME BROTHER...

I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had absolutely no other place to go. Abraham Lincoln

Pray, and let God worry. Martin Luther

God's answers are wiser than our prayers

I must secure more time for private devotions. I have been living far too public for me. The shortening of devotions starves the soul, it grows lean and faint. I have been keeping too late hours. William Wilberforce

There is nothing that makes us love a man so much as praying for him. William Law

Rich is the person who has a praying friend. Janice Hughes

Prayer is not so much an act as it is an attitude—an attitude of dependency, dependency upon God. Arthur W. Pink

"I would rather train twenty men to pray, than a thousand to preach; A minister's highest mission ought to be to teach his people to pray." -H. MacGregor

"ascharya-vat pasyati kascid enamascharya-vad vadati tathaiva chanyahascharya-vac chainam anyah srnotisrutvapy enam veda na chaiva kascit"
Some look on the soul as amazing, some describe him as amazing, and some hear of him as amazing, while others, even after hearing about him, cannot understand him at all

"avyakto ’yam acintyo ’yamavikaryo ’yam ucyatetasmad evam viditvainamnanusocitum arhasi"

knew the limitations of human consciousness to gauge the true nature of the inner soul. So in the Bhagwat Gita it concurs that no one can exactly know what a soul is. Someone looks at It with great surprise, another speaks about It with great surprise, some another hears about It with incredulity and yet another after hearing about It knows it not

The name or title of this blog is Ekatvam, Oneness but what does it really means. As far as I am concern it does not have any spiritual connotations in the sense we use the word spiritual. The latin word ‘spirit ‘ means breath; life. Life is energy which has no frotiers, which has no boundaries. It is not an alternative way of living to become something.
The gist of Shri Bhagavan’s philosophy if I may use that term can be sum up in four lines;
Your thoughts are not your thoughts
Your mind is not your mind
Your body is not your body
Your self is only a concept.
So it brings into picture a very fundamental question; is there any such thing as individual mind, self, is there any such thing as individual entity there? If we could even grasp this intellectually we will realize that there is no such thing as individual there so the very demand to be an individual is baseless. This society or culture is created on the basis of this notion of individual entity, and society is interested in making all of us an individual. So we are stuck with this peculiar situation that there is no individual and yet we are trying to be an individual. And that is the root cause of all problems, psychological, physical, financial, individual and global. Any action that is born out of this self – consciousness is violent, any action that is born to protect and sustain this false, illusory entity is perversive action.
Your thoughts are not your thoughts , Your mind is not your mind:
Is there any such thing as individual thought? Certainly not. What is thought afterall – it is memory, say we have been told that it is sky and it is blue, so every time we look at the sky we recognize it as sky and it is blue. Thought is memory and thinking or mind is association of memory, next time if we see anything as blue we remember it as blue. So built up of memory is mind, mind, psyche, consciousness all memory. How we can become conscious of something, only when we recognize it, the memory has to come into operation to recognize something. But memory is something which is not self generated, we are not born with memory but it is cultural input. Our parents, education system has cultivated memory in us. There is only what we can call racial memory which has been passed on to us from generation to generation. We use this racial memory to experience this world around us. So we can conclude that there is no such thing as individual mind or thought.
Your body is not your body :
Body does not have any separate existence of its own. It is a chemical process and the whole of nature is involved in this process. As Shri Bhagavan says “ Nothing comes into existence nothing goes out of existence…”. Actually body is not born, it has no beginning and no end, it is just an endless process of reshuffling of atoms. As a matter of fact , nothing has come into existence, “ all things are conditionally co – produced and consequently all things are empty “. Nothing has its own individual existence, everything is connected. For example a tree can we separate it from soil, or can it survive without water or sunlight? Certainly not. What is the process of photosynthesis –it is turning the raw inputs from sunlight, air and water into something on which plats can survive. So how can we separate the tree from the totality of nature. Same way this body is also dependent on oxygen, it takes in oxygen and heart pumps it through out the body. We take in foods the process of digestion transform it into bloods, so what we eat say a potato has become blood. So everything is in flux, there is no way we can separate each other and built up an independent existence of anything. This body is electro magnetic field, any projecting this duality is thought.thing that is happening around is affecting it physically. The earth, the sun, the moon and lunar eclipses, everything is affecting this body. The nature is one single unit, there is no dual existence there. What is
Your self is a concept:
Is it not so, when this self, this I, this feeling of separate existence arises – with thought and it ceases with thought. Thought is what we call I, there is no Individual there independent of thought. So what we call I is a concept. Every time a perception ( association of memory ) is born it is born. Sy we look at the sky, the eyes are not telling it is sky but the neuron tracks are being activated and the memory comes in that it is sky. So what is there is lokking but when thought comes in, it creates the observer and the observed.

6 games of ego

6 GAMES OF EGO
Ego is nothing but survival tricks of ‘ self ‘, what is self or “ I “, it is mind, it is nothing but association of memory which continue to survive in the form of fear; fear of something coming to an end. I t knows in a way that it does not exist , that it is disintegrating , so it tries to protect itself, defend itself and ego is its self – defensive mechanism, self – protective instrument.
6 common ways of its operation are:
1. I am right.
2. You are wrong.
3. Try to dominate others.
4. Refuse to get dominated.
5. Covering up.
6. Putting guilt into others.
Ego can calculate in a fraction of second as how to function in a particular situation, sometime we become silent, some time we accepts what others says but actually it does not accepts but it is just a egoistic settlement.
We always try to becoming something; from non – spiritual to spiritual, from jealous to non – jealous, from selfish to selfless… in this process of becoming ego survives, this process of becoming is ego, it is pious ego. We feel great about ourselves to think that we are spiritual, religious, philanthropic . These are all modified forms of ego. If we could see how we are functioning, how our mind is operating and how this guilt game is in operation, ego becomes silent, acceptance puts an end to this game.( From the teachings of Shri Bhagavan )

When you are focused everything falls into its place.

When you are focused everything falls into its place.
Many years ago, a child wanting to be a doctor went to an interview for a medical seat but he was rejected. This was his passion from childhood. And unfortunately though he did get good marks in the qualifying examination he was not selected. So he and his father was returning home by train. The person sitting next to him in the train enquired about the boy as he was very dull. When the father told him the reason, he told “ Don’t worry you will be a docter “. The father and the boy thought that he was just consoling them. A few days later, when they went for another interview, the interviewer was the same person whom they had seen in the train. He gave the boy the seat and the boy later became the Dean of The Stanley Medical Hospital in Chennai. He was very famous docter. So the desire of the heart brought that man in the train and he got seat. This doctor was so grateful to God that he served the people throughout his life.
So Bhagavan will give grace to people who want something from heart.

THOUGHT IS DIVISIVE.

Perfection and imperfection is only in your thought. As long as thought is controlling your life, there will be opposites – perfect and imperfect, good and bad, right and wrong. Thought itself is divisive in nature. The structure of thought is to compare. Without comparison, there cannot be any thought at all. Your mind is unable to let go off thought. Thought and mind is one and same, and thought is only memory and if you study the nature of memory, you will find that it is not only association but comparison also is involved. It always postulates the opposites. So in thought the trouble is that the opposites always exist. Only when you transcend thought will you be able to experience everything as it is. Then you use thought when necessary. Otherwise there is no thought. When thought is not required there is no division and hence there is no conflict. There is just direct perception. Then everything is fine as it is.

We can never bring anything to us unless we are grateful for what we have. in fact, if somebody was completely and utterly grateful for everything, they would never have to ask for anything, because it would be given to them before they even asked. That is the power of GRATITUDE.

Let us celebrate Gratitude Day coming 14 th November.

CREATE YOUR OWN GOD

CREATE YOUR OWN GOD ( Amma Bhagavan's Srimurti at my home)
Sometimes we wonder why God does not respond to our prayer. Most of us pray to God, worship and visits temples and feel that we are all spiritual people. But do we really depend on the Divine in times of need, not really. We don’t have personal bond with the Divine, we are not sure if He could help us, He could heal us of all our pains and suffering. God has become a semi dead theory, a matter of belief for better chance of psychological security.
Here Shri Bhagavan is saying about creating God, does that mean that God does not exists, it is just a hypothetical belief. Not so, Shri Bhagavan is not saying to create God in that sense, but to design the way He would respond or reciprocrate to us. God does not have any self nature, He is what you think He is. If you think He is a tyrant He is a tyrant, if you think He is a Hitler kind of God, He is so and would respond like that, if you think God as a punishing and judging entity who is there to correct us and to teach us He will be responding exactly like that. In this sense Bhagavan is saying to create God, that is to create the image of God, the way you want Him to respond. He is Bhaktaparadheena, dependent on devotees.
A story of Namadeva would clarify the idea. Once a king hearing the stories of Namadeva’s great devotion and His personal bond with Lord Krishna, wanted to test the authenticity of what he has heard. He killed a cow and asked Namadeva if He could bring the cow back to life. Namadeva asked for three days, that in three days Lord will give back life to the cow. Namadeva started praying, singing bhajans. The first day passed by but Lord did not appeared, next day also Krishna did not respond. Tears started rolling down His chicks. At last just before the ending of third day Lord appeared and touched the cow to life. Namadeva cried and asked in chocked voice the reason for His late respond, Krishna smiled and answered that it is He who asked for three days, if Namadeva asked to come Krishna just now, He would have come then and there.
So we to have to introspect and see what kind of idea we have of God, whether we think Him as our supreme friend or a punishing Lord. If we could establish a friendly bond with the Divine the Divine would become our Supreme Friend.

Bhagavan's Mukti Deeksha Talk

Bhagavan: Today is the day of awakening.
Living without being awakened is no living at all. It is merely an effort for survival.
Why is it that we do not live? It is the mind which prevents us from living.
How does the mind prevent us from living?
The mind does not allow us to experience reality as it is.
When you experience reality as it is then you are living.
But the mind does not allow that to happen.
Why? The mind is all the time naming, it is judging and trying to convert it into memory.
That is why the mind never allows you to actually experience anything.
Therefore, in order to live we have to be free of the mind.
There is yet another reason why we should be free of the mind.
The mind is responsible for all our problems throughout our human existence. It creates
problems then it tries to solve the problems. In that very effort it keeps surviving. Without
problems the mind cannot survive. That is what is responsible for all our problems.
As long as we are not free of the mind problems are not going to cease.
The individual, the collective, political, be it economical, be it social, be it environmental,
what not - the root is in the mind. Unless and until we are free of the mind, these problems are
not going to come to an end.
To be free of the mind is the only revolution. There is no other revolution that can really
transform man. Therefore it is very important to be free of the mind. When we say that we
must be free of the mind we are not talking of extinguishing the mind - no, not at all. The
mind will very much be there, in fact it will be working more efficiently. But then instead of the
mind making rules of our lives we will be making use of the mind. That is the only difference
that is going to take place now. The mind will very be there, but then we will be making use
of this.
This freedom of the mind is what we call the awakening.
So today, if all things go well, in a matter of two hours listening to this web cast today you
should be awakened! Today, here and now.
So how do we go about this?
We're going to use what is called the Mukti Deeksha. We were speaking to you earlier on the
Skype that from January 2011 would be the programming and from July 2011 we would be
doing the process. But then there is not much time left, so we have fused the two into a short
compact programme.
Amma and I have taken a sankalpa that it works. The last few weeks it has been working very
well and thousands of people have made it.
So now we are handing over this Mukti Deeksha to you. It's going to become yours in the next
two hours. Not only will you be making it but you will be able to make use of it to awaken
others.
So the count down has begun. We are not going to wait until the end of 2010, 2011, or 2012.
We are starting right away. You will be awakened and you will be awakening others and it is
your mission to complete the awakening of man. It is in your hands now.
So now we will go into the process itself.
I shall again repeat the example I have been giving all over the world, again and again, in
order that it enters your consciousness.
So we have a television set which is your consciousness, it is connected to the DVD player
which is your mind. In turn it is connected to a power source and the power is flowing. The
power that flows is the Deeksha and the source of power is the divine.
Now we have to get the CD ready. The CD is the teachings which I gave in the month of
February. Hopefully you have worked on it and actually understood it.
I will be revising the CD, that is the five basic teachings for awakening. And then we will be
uploading it with the 49 minute Sadanas. Once the uploading is over, we switch on. That is
the Deeksha for which you will go and touch the padukas if you have there, or Amma
Bhagavan's picture if there, or if you prefer to touch an icon of your choice it could be from
any faith - Christianity, Islam, Budism, Hinduism, whatever you want. Any icon you could
touch. The Deeksha will be given directly by the Divine without any human intervention. This is
a very special Deeksha. That is why it is called Mukti Deeksha and once you receive it, it is all
over.
The state will be there. For some people it will take a little time, maybe a day or two. If all
goes well it has to be permanent, irreversible, the first time itself.
If for any chance the state were to dip, again repeat the chant, or back home you could
repeat the process in case it dips it will come back with a bang. Those that do not get it now
could go home and repeat it and it will come back. In case it dips, once or twice, repeat
and it remain permanently, irreversibly, with you for life.
You have the freedom to repeat it whenever you want to. YOu will be moving into deeper
and higher states of consciousness. It's all up to you.
So now we go into the five teachings:
Repeat it after me:
The first is 'your thoughts are not your thoughts'.
The second is 'your mind is not mind'.
The third is your body is not your body.
Fifth is 'All things are happening automatically'.
Sixth is 'I as a person do not exist.'
These are the teachings.
So now, as I say it you repeat it after me in your native tongue. Which if it happens to be
English, I will be speaking in English, you will repeat it in whatever language is your native
tongue.
So here we go now. I'll make a slight change in it,
~ thoughts are not mine
~ mind is not mine
~ this body is not my body
~ all things are happening automatically
~ I as a person do not exist
Who or what is it that is making this statement?
You are saying mind is not there but somebody is there watching. What is that?
So it is obvious that something is existing - that is satta - existence. What is not there is
identification, I am doing things is not there. The person who says 'this is mine' is not there.
The atman - This atman is what we call the unborn and the undying. The unchanging and the
imperishable.
Water cannot wet, knife cannot cut. It is the eternal ever present I, the presence.
That's what is there. This is described as Satta. It has a sense of existence.
There is also called Chitta - there is no English equivalent of this, the best we could translate it
as consciousness and intelligence fused together. Consciousness and tremendous
intelligence. It can observe your mind, your body and all your actions. Therefore it is Chitta,
and it experiences unconditional, limitless joy. That is why it is called Ananda. It is called
satchinanda. The name given to it is parabramha. That's why we keep chanting satchinanda
parabramha.
So you are that - the unborn, the undying, the eternal, the ever present, the ever present
presence.
That's what you really are.
You are existence, consciousness, bliss.
You are not the thoughts.
You are not the mind.
You are not the body.
You are not the one who is acting.
All actions are taking place automatically.
You are the eternal witness - that's what you are.
You have been searching for this all your life [??] you have been searching for this.
Your search has been futile because you have been searching in the wrong places.
Like you see in movies, some guy has a hat on his head then he keeps asking 'where is my
hat?'
You are the one you have been searching for.
You are the one you have been waiting for.
That has been the problem.
The index finger which points at objects cannot point at itself.
The eye which sees cannot see itself.
That is the problem.
Today you are going to see that.
You are going to be that.
So now I will first say three times and after I have said you will say.
Then I will be on Skype for the next few minutes, the Skype will be shut down and Amma and I
will be fully focused on you for the next 49 minutes. And when you come and touch the altar
we will still be focused on you. And then it's all over.
So you'll be changing your courses into Oneness Awakening Courses. How that should be
done soon an email will be sent to you with all the guidelines laid out.
We are transferring the power to you today.
We have initiated the process of dissolution which we said would start in 2014, we have
initiated that today.
So I will say and you will repeat it after me In your native tongue, this is very crucial.
If English happens to be your native tongue fine otherwise in your native tongue.
I am Existence, Consciousness, Bliss.

Repeat in your native tongue for 49 minutes:
I am existence, consciousness, bliss...

JEEVAN MUKTI

Shri Bhagavan says “ existence “ is the cause of all human problems. There is just one problem or rather a single cause of all human problems such as poverty, wars, religious conflicts, disharmony in families, conflicts between husband and wife, children and parents, in offices… all the problems in the world, both psychological and material, are not at all different from one another. Those between husband and wife seem different to those that cause a war but at the root of the problem there is just one cause: the vision of existence, the sense of separation, the sense of “ self “. This is the only type of relationship we know, we tackle everything thinking “ this is me “ and “ this is not me “. This sense of separation and strong sense of “ self “ and “ non self “, this idea of “ self “ is what Bhagavan identifies as the root cause of all problems, the sense of separation between us and everything, this “ self “ must disappear from our lives.

It ( disappearing of “ self “, the “ I “, the “ me “, the sense that you as an individual, as an entity exists ) is not a psychological process but a neurobiological process. One day in a darshan, a man from Chile asked Bhagavan a question, he was a Christian but not dogmatic, he was open to other teachings: He said: “ Bhagavan for almost 30 years I’ve been so sincere in my exercises, ( sadhanas ) I have made so many efforts to feel this love for others…I want to feel this love for everyone within myself. But why doesn’t it happen Bhagavan? Why can’t I feel it? “ Bhagavan replied “ Don’t try to do it, you cant cultivate love, you cant exercise in this sense. Don’t try to be Christ, Christ is Christ because his brain is different and same for Buddha. That is why Buddha does not desire any thing ( not even enlightenment ), does not make any effort, it happens to him naturally. In the same way Christ makes no effort to love others, for him it was natural state. If your brain changes you will the same experience. So a true transformation does not occur through psychological exercise but through neurobiological transformation, for which grace is needed. You can’t sy to your self “ from today I want to stop feeling this sense of separation and I want to be in a state of oneness with the world.

There are many psychological practices which can help to solve many serious problems, but if you are seeking a clear and radical change in your life neurobiological change, a sort of brain mutation must occur.

When a child is born he does not have any sense of separation. If he looks at a tree he does not think “ I am looking at the tree”, he “ is “ the tree. He does not experience things as the observer – observed and if he listens to the music he “ is “ the music. Around the age of 12 – 13 months he suddenly has the sense of existence and start to feel separated from everything. This is traumatic moment in which the child loses paradise. The first state is natural state of each person, while we call the traumatic moment “ the birth of the self “; this is cause by the excessive activity of the parietal lobes of the brain.Enlightenment is the end of the sense of separation.

( From an interview of Anandagiri Ji )

No mind......no self.

Q : What is the difference between thought and mind?
Shri Bhagavan : If you take a building it is made of bricks. Without the bricks there is no building. How could you have mind without thoughts? It is not possible to separate the two The mind is nothing but the flow of thoughts which is flow of memory. If we are going to remove your memory there would not be any mind at all, you cannot conceive of a mind without thoughts.
Q : Is it possible to control mind?
Shri Bhagavan : How to control the mind, the more you try to control the mind the more it goes out of control, and in this ensuing battle you are sure to be the loser. If somebody ever fights the mind, it always wins because as he fights with the mind it takes strength and becomes stronger. The only way to become free is to watch the mind very closely. If you keep watching it in a very friendly way without condemning it,, commenting, it soon becomes very weak and becomes quiter

Q : What about the sense of separation among the people?
Shri Bhagavan : The sense of “ me “ and “ you “, the sense of separation is an illusion, it doesn’t exist. But to experience how to be without it the senses must slow down. As you you become more and more one with the divine; you realize that you are God and next you are not. After a bit you will realize you and God are same thing, but sometimes you will experience oneness sometimes separation. It is at that point you can be of great help to the people. That is why I say you will discover that you are one with divine, that you are the divine.

YOU ARE LOVE.

Q : Everyone talks of love, we search for it, we want it in our lives. What is love, fom your point of view ?
Sri Bhagavan : I cannot tell you what love is but I can tell you what love is not. Crush is not love, emotion is not love, attachment is not love, possessiveness is not love. The love that I am talking about cannot be described. It has to be experienced. There is no point in talking about it because all that you know is conditional. This love that I am talking about ia totally unconditional; there is no reason for it. There is no cause for it, it is just there.
I would like you to get there. You would then be a fulfilled human being. You would have realize your full potential as a humanbeing, otherwise you are not a humanbeing at all. When you discover this love, you discover connectedness, connectedness with your parents, friends, neighbours, then world at large, with plants, animals and finally with God, you become God. That is the oneness we are talking about.

Self being an illusory thing, self does not exists

Self being an illusory thing, self does not exists ...

Self being an illusory thing, self does not exists, it just born ( illusion of self is born ) out of sensory cordinations and psychological contents, it comes into existence, it does not have any existence of its own. So constantly it must be reminded “ yes, yes you are very much there “. It happens when somebody loves you. Then you constantly feel reinforced. You feel the reality of your existence, that you are wanted, therefore you are there. It gives you a nice sense of security, good feeling, that’s why you crsve for love. Once you discover love, that you are yourself love, you no more beg for love. All these love that we generally talk about, is begging for love. When you are enlightened you are not there, when you are not there what is there is love. In this case you don’t beg for love. As long as it is not happening, there will be fear, there will be insecurity, because the self is all the time disintegrating. So it has to poses things, “ this property is mine, I have this degree, I have this position….”, all these reinforces the self. Therefore you want all these things and the strongest reinforcing thing is love. When somebody loves you, care for you, it helps in sustaining that self. If she fall in love with the better person than you, you are finished. That means you are no more wanted and that self is disintegrating. You would have seen recently on paper how somebody killed his lover when she fall for somebody else, you say she is the most wonderful person in the world then you kill her, why not celebrate that she got somebody better than you. So when you say I love somebody it means you love your self, that’s all that is there to it. You can’t love anybody, you have never loved anybody. How you can love ( since the reference point of all relationship is ‘ I ‘). When you say I love him so much it means I love my self so much, I need so much love to survive, otherwise I am gone. I am not condemning it, I am describing things as they are.

- Shri Bhagavan

THERE IS ONLY SUFFERING, NOT YOUR SUFFERING AND MY SUFFERING.

THERE IS ONLY SUFFERING, NOT YOUR SUFFERING AND MY SUFFERING.
As I have discussed that that all our experience is coloured by existential suffering, at that level there is no such thing as individual suffering. Bhagavan says existence is suffering, existence means a sense of an individual entity. That is the basis of human suffering It is very important to understand the illusoriness of ‘ self ‘, for a spiritual breakthrough to take place, so Bhagavan is moving from individual suffering to that of collective suffering. Why do we suffer ( other than physical problem )? If we contemplate we will see that all our suffering is centred around that illusion of separate existence. So the root cause of all suffering is the ‘ self ‘, whether one is Indian or American, rich or poor, no body or a very impoetant person, if there is suffering means there is self at play.
Suffering is nothing but a thought, and thought is memory we built around it a tremendous image, romanticize it, colour it, as it gives us the sense of existence, that ‘ I ‘ am very much there. So fundamentally it is sence of separate existence that causes us all to suffer, apparently it may seem that all our suffering is is unique but not so. If there is no thought there will be no suffering. As there is no such thing as your thoughts and my thoughts, there cannot be your sorrow and mine. Suffering depends on thoughts and thoughts depends on situation, it is not permanent but dependent, it comes and goes. If there is no self consciousness ther cannot be any suffering.

LIBERATION FROM PARENTS

LIBERATION FROM PARENTS
Here Bhagavan is not talking about biological parents, but all those who has influenced us and are influencing ( psychologically ), it can be our parents, teacher, friends, any leader, books, propaganda, anything. If we contemplate we will notice that all our likes and dislikes, all our opinions are conditioned and influenced. Those who has influenced us has died but their traits are still living through us, ideals are living through us. Ideas has a life ( if I may use that word ) of its own, it survives through us, it foster itself through us, make use of us for its survival. Bhagavan is asking freedom from such conditioning.
But can be free our self from conditioning? Certainly not, we will end up being conditioned in another way. The best way is to observe how this conditioning is working through us. Even to be aware and to observe needs grace. Amma Bhagavan is our supreme friend who is helping us to accelerate this grace through various process.

POSITIONALITY

POSITION + EGO + POSITIONALITY
POSITIONALITY – EGO + POSITION
Taking position is not wrong but becoming positional is. If ego comes with position, one becomes positional. Say if we give man a good house and every kind of luxuries and tell him that he can enjoy everything but tell him that at any moment everything will be taken away. So what woukd be his mental state, a constant fear, that is becoming positional, he has completely identified his ego with the position.
Self need something as a support, it can be any ideal, any relation or it can be a position. So even assuming for a moment that, that position or relation is coming to an end cause a terrible disturbance. If we use the position to feed our ego we becomes positional. Similarly we use an ideal to feed our ego and always defend it, actually we are defending our ‘ self ‘, non existing illusory self.
If we become of this mental game, a sort of intelligence awakens in us. That intelligence then guides us as to how to use the position intelligently.
( Bhagavan’s teaching explained by Acharya Vimalkirti )

DUKKHA

Physical suffering + Psychological suffering + Spiritual suffering = Constant

Psychological pain often leads to physical pain. This is a beautiful thing created by the nature, that pain gets shared into three levels. When there is two much suffering in psychological level it moves into physical or spiritual level. Let us try to understand how this phenomenon works.
Physical suffering
We are all familiar with this suffering, not only health problem but any kind of survival problems comes under this category. Suffering brought by drought, earthquake and all other natural calamities falls under this suffering.
Psychological suffering
This is a mental suffering say you need clothes and you don’t have but when you have cloth but you want Armani brand and is in pain for not having it, it becomes psychological suffering. When we miss some body who is very dear to us, its also pshycological suffering. 80% of pshycological suffering is self created. By understanding the nature of mind, how it operates and how it always seeks security, we can come out of it.
Spiritual suffering
Spritual suffering occuers to only evolved soul. Lord Buddha explained it with a beautiful example; imagine you are travelling in a beautiful chariot made of gold and the side view is spellbounding but the problem is that the wheels of the chariot are square, just imagine how the journey will be! Similarly with the people going through this kind of suffering have every kind of worldy possession and comforts that any body can aspire for but they feel a kind of aloofness. Buddha termed is as Dukkha. Buddha said that he can split a single hair into thousand but cannot explain this suffering. This peculiar kind of suffering does not falls within the field of logical understanding. The very existence ( of individual self ) becomes painful it is also called existential nausea.
Now let us see how it works say the ratio of each suffering is: psychological suffering + 50, physical suffering +50 and spiritual suffering + 50, total 150, now if psychological suffering becomes too much say 70 and others say 30 and 50 the it will be transferred to other levels . eg : A person falls in love but the girl betrayed, the psychological suffering becomes too much, he hurts himself thus psychological suffering transferred into physical suffering.
For example for asthma patient, its often the psychological pain which triggers asthma attacks. But for enlightened people this shifting of suffering between different levels does not take place, eg : Ramakrishna Paramahamsa was in supreme bliss inspite of cancer. As they are evoved being they experience everything as they come. It is for us that suffering is constant as it gets shared into different levels but for enlightened being they don’t have any personal suffering but they experience only humanity’s suffering.
Spiritual suffering underlines all our so called suffering and experiences it is the tiger as Bhagavan says. But we are afraid of facing the tiger, we want to escape. This culture is all about how to escape the mother of all suffering that is the spiritual suffering. Spiritual suffering is caused by the illusion of separate entity, the mind that isolates us from totality of things and gives us the feeling that we are individual entity. The only solution for spiritual suffering is Mukti.

Sri Bhagwan

A R Rahman::Ishwar Allah Tere Jahan Mein

Michael Jackson - Heal The World

Inner integrity.

Q : Bhagavan apart from these teachings and sadhanas what is your message in this path of mukti?
Bhagavan : See basically my teaching is this; Though you have been taught some sadhanas and given some teachings as far as mukti is concerned , no sadhanas and no teachings can take you to mukti. That is why I insist that ultimately all sadhanas and all teachings must be dumped into waste paper busket. They just not help you when mukti is concerned. They can prepare you for it…..Any teachings for that matter will not take you to mukti. No technique or sadhana can give you enlightenment. At best what can happen is, there can be a temptation to get mukti and some clarity. I always maintain that any teaching will fall under two categories, viz psychology and philosophy.
They will at best help to bring about transformation within the mind; that’s all.It is like we can arrange the furniture in the room but they will still remain. So we can do some kind of decoration inside. We can bring some kind of happiness, get over some problems, adjust and readjust…….. sadhanas can take you deeper and deeper into your consciousness but going deeper into your consciousness is not mukti. Rearranging your mental structure and framework, having improved relationship, better success in the world…all this is not mukti. Mukti is to be completely free of the mind itself. That no teachings and no technique can give you. It is because it is not a meditative process, it is not a psychological process, it is is not a philosophical process. It is neurobiological phenomenon. Fundamental changes must occur in your physical brain. That is why I tell you do not follow any teachings, then you become a second hand human being. If you try to follow Jesus Christ you will follow a second hand human being. Jesus Christ could love the whole of mankind , can you love like him? Jesus Christ says Love thy neighbor as thy self, you cant do it. He can do it because his brain is wired differently. Ramakrishna can be jumping in ecstacy and dancing away. Unless your kundalini is awakened you cant do that. If you try to copy Ramakrishna you become a second hand human being. His brain wiring is different. Ramana can ask who am I , if you ask you will go mad and end up in mental asylum. You develop conflict within your self, you are something, you want to be something else.; a Christ, a Aurobindo, a Ramana…… what not! You can read all the books you will not move an inch. May be you feel nice ‘ ah ‘ I am doing this sadhana you feel more secured. But it will not take you to mukti, it can often induce conflict. You can anly be yourself, how can you be something else? You cannot become, that is the illusion from which you must become free. So what I am telling is whatever you are just accept that, when you accept that there is no conflict.
All psychological pain when you fully experience that pain becomes joy. Not by trying to escape from that, if you try to escape from that you are merely putting it under the carpet. After sometimes it starts stinking. That’s what most people are doing, they never confront their pain. Some body dies in your family, you lose job or some other problem, you don’t experience that pain . You run away from that pain by through movies, going to friend’s house, games or by doing some puja…That is what called sorrow management. It is good upto a certain point but certainly it will not rid you of the pain. What you must learn is how to confront that pain. What I am telling is like this, suppose tiger enters this room, most of you would climb up the fan and hang on there. What I am telling is that hanging from the fan is the real pain, the tiger is here and weare hanging on there. I am telling to come down from the fan and let the tiger eat you. I f you are eaten the pain is gone. Allow the pain the pain is the tiger. See what happens it will become joy. Suppose there is intense jealousy in you, that jealousy is the pain, you know how pain ful it is, so instead of saying I will try to be non jealous..kind..loving all this is humbug you are you, you have jealousy, hatred, violence….thats why I say Ravana never died, he is fully existing in you, you are only dignified Veerappan. I am not telling you to be this or that. No, be what you are. Discover who you are like Ramana, who am I, but his discovery was something else, you will discover that you are Ravana! All the useless things are there inside you. That will be your discovery. That doesn’t take much time but you don’t like that, you would like to have nice image about yourself, it’s all nicely covered up. If you dig you will see only rubbish, so confront that rubbish. It is there than accept that, how can you run away from it? It’s painful no doubt, experience that pain. Then lo and behold, suddenly you will discover joy. Where there is joy there is no doshas. A happy man cannot cause pain to others.
Unhappy people spread misery. If people are happy they cannot do anything wrong, it is unhappy people who become criminals and antisocial. True happiness comes from seeing thet truth about yourself, when you confront yourself. You are always telling I am afraid of that person I am afraid of this person, that’s not true you are basically afraid of yourself! If you loose fear of yourself you will loose fesr of every body including Veerappan! If Buddha were there, he can simply go and talk to Veerappan, like he spoke to Angulimaal because he has no fear. You are afraid of yourself, you don’t love yourself. On the other hand you are telling I must become fearless , I must love others, you don’t love yourself that is the situation.
So you go inide yourself and you will discover How terrible you are. So accept thatOnce you start accepting you start loving yourself and then you will find there is tremendous joy. It is very natural and easy to go deep into yourself, discover, accept and love yourself and convert suffering into joy.

To postpone is yet another trick of mind for its continued security.

To postpone is the height of hypocrisy

To postpone is to deny freedom forever. ( to postpone seeing who actually you are )

True love

Q : Bhagavan could you please explain what is true love?

Bhagavan : Ok before understanding what is true love let us know what is current state of man. Today basically most of you are beggers of love. You want others to show you love. What you think love is actually craving for love. That is why when people love esch others it is actually that " she needed his need for her and he needed her need for him." of course you too love but what kind of love it is that? It is very conditional love. Suppose your husband take care of you very well, you love him. If he drinks and illtreats and doesn't fulfil your expectations do you love him? If your parents are very nice to you, you love them. Otherwise you dont love them. Similarly if the wife is beautiful and is very nice, the husband loves her .If she gets small pox or cancer if she ids disfigured, there is embarrasment and discomfort. There is always such thoughts as there is nothing more to life, there is fesr of society and dissatisfaction. So what happened to that love? So this is conditional love.

There ar eyet another people who think that they love, for eg some social workers. They feel they ar ecompassionate and want to give up there lives for people. But what they dont seem to understand is the so called love or compassion they feel is coming out of concept, conditioning and trauma. These people can be called as selfrighteous people ( they derive a do- gooder's high).

So where you are begging for love that is not love. Where there is attachment and possesion and making use of people that is not love. Love born out of concepts and conditioning is not love. So what you know is condiional love. You can see this in your own relationships.

You cannot try to love, that will never happen. What do you know about love? All that you know is jealousy, selfishness, anger, hatred, lack of love therefore craving for love. That is the truth about you. you are not Mahatma Gandhi, Surdas, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. You ar eonly what you are. Isn't it? So all that you must do is, " become aware that you dont have love ". You have to accept it. You have o be with it. When you become that you dont have love, love starts happening automatically. You have been trying to love, bu have you changed one bit? You are exactly where you were ( but we are not decent and honest enough to admit that ). So now you stop trying to become be exactly what you are. See the terrible thing in your heart. How when somebody comes to you you say hello sir welcome.... but that is not the truth. Inside you ar ethinking why did he come now? Actually you are putting on a nice mask. You have never face the actual you, the truth. The truth has gone far behind. I do know devotees, they wear mask even before me and I also go along with them. Why I should take out their masks? That would be too painful for them. That mask is there because of the society education, culture etc. People think that is the only way to survive.

When people get married, there is joy in their relationship in the begining. Slowly the images sets in in the wife and the husband also develops masks. And the images begin to relate The real person has withdrawn. There is no more joy in the relationship. That is how your heart get closed.

So all that we are telling people is to become aware of the mask. Become aware of your games. Just do that. Thats all. I am not asking you to be a saint or a sage. You are horrible people, you are terrible people, see that and you will discover love.

To see is to be free

To see is to be sacred and holy

To see is to love.

Nature never duplicates

Q: Bhagavan what is the highest state of enlightenment and what is the shortest way to reach it?

Bhagavan : There is no such thing as the highest enlightenment. It is an endless journey not only in this loka but in other realms as well. there is no end for evolution. We cannot say this is the highest or that is the highest! in fact when you are enlightened your state will be different from that of another. No two people will be in the same state. There will be difference. But the common denominator would be the absence of internal suffering. The amount of bliss you feel, the amount of union with the universe that you experience will differ from person to person. Say for eg Ramakrishna paramahamsa is enlightened, Ramana maharishi is enlightened Sri Aurobindo is enlightened but there is difference in there states. Nature never duplicates If you look at there nadi structure, you will find a difference. Therefore there is no question of highest. We cant say Ramanas was highest or Buddhas was highest. It's all were unique. The state one gets depends on so many factors.

Now you want a short cut for enlightenment! The shortest route is to set right your relationships. It must start with your parents. no matter who you are there will be certain amount of hurt regarding your parents. Atleast if it is not at surface level, if you go deeper you will discover. Once your relationship with your parent is set right your relationship with your spouse will become all right. Then the other relationship will also be affected.

MEANING OF MOOLAMANTRA

Aum Sat-chit–ananda Parabrahma
Purshothama Paramathma
Sri Bhagavati Sametha
Sri Bhagavate Namaha
Amma & Bhagavan have given one mantra, the Moola Mantra. Amma & Bhagavan have blessed it and infused it with tremendous divine power, making this mantra extremely effective. Whenever you chant the Vedic Mantra even without knowing the meaning of it - it still carries power. To know the meaning and to chant the Moola Mantra from your heart is so much more powerful. Therefore it is essential to know the meaning of the mantra when you use it. Listening to the mantra is uplifting and transforming. This sacred chant invokes the energy of Amma & Bhagavan. The mantra has the power to heal. The mantra awakens the divine presence in your heart, gives states of cosmic consciousness and cures many diseases. It activates the Ajneya Chakra and Sahasrara Chakra. The calmness that the mantra gives is to be experienced. One can experience deep states of inner peace, tremendous joy and heightened awareness. It is the mantra of the Golden Age.
OM: OM has got 100 different meanings. It is said- in the beginning was the Supreme word and the word created every thing. That word is OM. If you are meditating in silence deeply, you can hear the sound OM within. The whole creation emerged from the sound OM. It is the primordial sound or the Universal sound by which the whole universe vibrates. OM also means inviting the higher energy. This divine sound has the power to create, sustain and destroy, giving life and movement to all that exist.
SAT-CHIT-ANANDA:
SAT means, all penetrating existence that is formless, shapeless, omnipresent, attribute less, and quality less aspect of the Universe. It is the Un manifest. It is experienced as emptiness of the Universe. We could say it is the body of the Universe that is static. Every thing that has a form and that can be sensed, evolved out of this Un manifest. It is so subtle that it is beyond all perceptions. It can only be seen when it has become gross and has taken form. We are in the Universe and the Universe is in us. We are the effect and Universe is the cause and the cause manifests itself as the effect.
CHIT is the Pure Consciousness of the Universe that is infinite, omni-present manifesting power of the Universe. Out of this is evolved everything that we call Dynamic energy or force. It can manifest in any form or shape. It is the consciousness manifesting as motion, as gravitation, as magnetism, etc. It is also manifesting as the actions of the body, as thought force. It is the Supreme Spirit.
ANANDA means bliss, love and friendship nature of the Universe. When you experience either the Supreme Energy in this Creation (SAT) and become one with the Existence or experience the aspect of Pure Consciousness (CHIT), you enter into a state of Divine Bliss and eternal happiness (ANANDA). This is the primordial characteristic of the Universe, which is the greatest and most profound state of ecstasy that you can ever experience when you relate with your higher Consciousness.
PARABRAHMA is the Supreme Being in his Absolute aspect; one who is beyond space and time. It is the essence of the Universe that is with form and without form. It is the Supreme creator.
PURUSHOTHAMA has got different meanings. Purusha means soul and Uthama means the supreme; the Supreme spirit. It also means the supreme energy of force guiding us from the highest world. Purusha also means Man, and PURUSHOTHAMA is the energy that incarnates as an Avatar to help and guide Mankind and relate closely to the beloved Creation.
PARAMATMA means the supreme inner energy that is immanent in every creature and in all beings, living and non-living. It's the indweller or the Antaryamin who resides formless or in any form desried. It's the force that can come to you whenever you want and wherever you want to guide and help you.
SRI BHAGAVATI is the female aspect, which is characterized as the Supreme Intelligence in action, the Power (The Shakti). It is referred to the Mother Earth (Divine Mother) aspect of the creation.
SAMETHA means together or in communion with.
SRI BHAGAVTE is the Male aspect of the Creation, which is unchangeable and permanent.
NAMAHA is salutations or prostrations to the Universe that is OM and also has the qualities of SAT-CHIT-ANANDA, that is omnipresent, unchangeable and changeable at the same time, the supreme spirit in a human form and formless, the indweller that can guide and help in the feminine and masculine forms with the supreme intelligence. I seek your presence and guidance all the time.

Let go

Letting go of the need to control....is surrender.

Letting of the hurt...is forgiveness.

Letting go of the resistance...is acceptance.

Letting go of the possession...is love.

To let go again requires Grace ! !

Let us pray seeking Grace to let go.

Nahuel Schajris

Nahuel Schajris first met Anandagiri ( Shri Bhagavan's disciple ) when both of them where in their teens.Nahuel's mother met Bhagavan and dasas in mid 1990's, when she was making a documentary film in India. She was so touched by them that she visited Anandagiri to visit their family in Argentina. As soon as the young monk arrived he formed a bond with her son Nahuel. They were around the same age. " I developed a great friendship with Anandagiri " recalls Nahuel. "I suddenly felt that he was my brother ,he was my teacher and he was the best friend in the whole world. That was the first experience for me the experience of real friendship with someone." When Anadagiri came to town, Nahuel would go out in the evening and play music in the local town and restaurents to make enough for them to eat. L ater Nahuel traveled to India and met Amma and Bhagavan in person for the first time. " I think music can help share the message of awakening and oneness to reach more people.I think it could be a good instrument to share all these in a good way." Bhagavan looked quizzically at Nahuel " do you think music can help to spread awakening?" There was a silence." Okay " he said " lets do it "

As he returned home he found he could easily invoke presence to write songs . He formed partnership with his friend Leo to write songs for other singers. They wrote one and thirty songs in one and half months. Things did not work out so well selling these songs to other artists so they formed their own band, Sin Bandera. Their first song was signed by Sony and has now two millions copies. They have recorded three albums since then and had won Latin Grammy two years in a row.

LAW OF KARMA ( third law )

You find only what you seek

Again as in the case of first two laws the best ways to understand this law is to examine our life. We should note that intent is far more powerful than desire which operates only in the surface level of our consciousness and rarely bear any karmic fruits. If we examine our life closely we will se how our own nwgetive seeking due to childhood hurts and traumas are acting in our consciousness and creating negetive situations.

The laws of karma is specially relevant to the discovery of God. Our self which is generally centred in our surface consciousness is seeking psychological survival by the persuit of fleeting desires and is influenced by fear, gilt, lust and anger. This is our conditioned self. Obviously it is out of syncronism with life and strays mostly in past or future with the help of mind. I t seeks to understand life through conceptual frameworks but it cannot seek God. If however we become aware of how this thinking mechanism which is actually not your thoughts but of whole mankind acting through us, helps us to be free from the clutches of thoughts. Though for such an awareness grace is required.

You suffer because you are no longer relate to Me...if only you shall relate to me and feel helpless in your suffering and seek My help, I shall liberate you now and here.

LAWS OF KARMA ( second law )

You reap what you sow, but many times over.

many times we are astonished at the sudden bounties that fall into our lap and at other times we are appalled by the degree of human suffering, specially our own. A careful honest examination of our life will however reveal that the justice of the God is infinitely accurate and that we have never received anything that we have not created in some way. The seeds you saw are through your thoughts, words and deeds. These seeds will bear fruit and will come back to you with a multiplying effect, just in the same way as the single seeds bears many fruits on matureing into a tree.

LAWS OF KARMA ( first law )

You become what you believe

Examine your life carefully and you will see that there is correlation between your belief and happenings in your life.Unfortunately our beliefs cannot be arbitory determined by us. The difficulty however is to really have the belief and no amount of trying helps. Our beliefs are constrained by our vasanas that have entered us at the time of our birth, the traumatic events of our childhood and our karma.

Our karma concists of our thoughts, words and deeds of this life as well as the karma of our family, community, nation and even humanity. The awareness of this law of karma will show us how helpless we are in shapping our destiny.

There is no substantial entity who does the deed,

neither substantial who experience the fruit.

Like parts of a complex scenario

the karma and vasanas alone roll on,

in the collective memory bank of existence.

I spread and protect oneness.

If you have any article or any experience which you want to share you can mail me with your address. I would be glad to post. We share and protect ONENESS

PRAYERS

If you have any prayers you can mail me.I run a satsang where we can do a collective prayers for you, your family and friends. Please do mention your name and problem. Its my humble seva at the feet of my beloved Shri Amma Bhagavan.

You are God

There are several deegres of oneness, let us first look at oneness within onenself.Right now you are not an individual, you are divided within. You are a crowd inside. Y ou are son or daughter of so and so, the father , the husband or the friend of so and so, you who is the employer or the employee of so and so, there are so many beings within who are all the time talking. Then again there is your conscious and your unconscious self, your authentic and your inauthentic self, all having a dialogue all the time. You are that dialogue. When the dialogue shuts down, you become all one inside. Alone means all-one. There is no more division.
At the next level you would find oneness with your fellow human beings. At the third level ou would discover you are one with the earth, with the tree,with the water and the sky, you are one with nature. You discover you and the universe are one. Ultimately you discover you and God are one. You would discover you are God. I intent to take you step by step to the final oneness.

One mind

Why do wars and calamities happen? They happen because human beings are violent. We are not talking of individual human beings but humanity as a whole. What is the amount of violence each one of you has, each one of you is a divided house, there is conflict in you there is violence in you, there is hatred in you.It is this that erupts as wars, communal conflict, drought, flood or any kind of calamity for that matter. You could even destry the esrth if you want to from your violence. The external war merely reflects your inner world. That’s why we are asking you to improve your relationships. If there is love and peace within you very naturally the environment would also change. The atrocities you come across would cease to exist. If people change the world would change otherwise you would destroy yourselves. It is your conflict that is erupting through a terrorist or a tyrant, just like water flowing through a weak pipe would burst out somewhere, collective violence of humanity would emerge through an individual or a group.There is only one mind and each one of you are part and parcel of this mind. Do not blame someone else you are responsilble for this, if you discover this world would certainly be a better place.

Tat - twam - asi

Anandagiri Ji : Bhagavan, what is the upanishadic statement ‘Tattwamasi’ mean, who is the experience behind every experience?

Bhagavan : The greatest contribution of India is that the experiencer, the experience and the experience is one and the same.It is an illusion to see the division of the experiencer as separate from the object of experience and the act of experiencing. Once you are enlightened you will see that it is the mind that is creating this trifurcation.You will see that the observer , the observed and the process of observation are all one and the same. There is nobody who is observing the tree what exists is merely the experience of the tree. There is nobody who is looking at the tree, you are inseparable from the experience of the tree . That is why we say Tat – twam – asi or thou art that.How ever this does not belong to the realm of the mind.

Your self is a concept

Your thoughts are not your thoughts.Your mind is not your mind.Your body is not your body.Your self is only a concept.
The root cause of all suffering is the sense of separate existence. We have a divisive consciousness which perceives things as the ‘me’ and the ‘not me’ , the ‘mine’ and the ‘not mine’, as my people and yours as my nation and yours.Having divided all things we feel threatened by the other.Fear inturn brings war, conflict and further forms of violence. Are we then beyond redemption, are we then going to remain bunch of pessimistic philosophers or apathetic onlookers bemoaning our collective doom? Not necessarily. We as a race are on the brink of a colossal transition, from one of separation to that of oneness, we would awaken from darkness to light, from untruth to truth, we would realize the oneness of all living things. Though each of us may live different lives located away from each other in space and time, we are biologically, emotionally and spiritually one. There is only one body, what happens to the animals in the seas happens to us, men and women, what happens in the forests happens to us in our bodies. Since our bodies at the fundamental level are made of the same earth, are not our bodies moving clay forms endowed with intelligence? A conscious effort to heal the earth will manifest as ultimate healing of our own bodies. There is only one mind which has flow through our forefathers,us and would inturn live through our children and their progeny. The collective torment of fear suffered by our own brethren in one part of the world would manifest as awakening nightmares to someone elsewhere in the world. Our pleasures and pains are interlinked. We are one and cannot continue to live any further in an illusion of separation. There is only one consciousness, we live in a holographic universe. Every individual awakening into oneness would automatically affect few thousands pushing them towards the only sane alternative way of living.- Shri Bhagavan

Oneness Temple

Oneness Temple is one of India’s great architectural wonders and the centerpiece of all of the Oneness University’s campuses. This hall was designed to have an impact on the spiritual development of humanity as it moves towards an Age of Oneness Consciousness. Since its consecration on April 22nd, 2008, the Hall has been visited by millions of spiritual seekers from all over the world.
The dedication of a structure in the name of any form of the Divine is a tradition dating back to the origins of civilization. Building design showcasing humanity’s creativity and architectural prowess in the pursuit of the Transcendental is a form of reverence and worship. It represents the hand following the movement of Divinity from the ground, encompassing and shaping space that reaches towards heaven.
The Hall of Awakening is not dedicated to any single faith. Although it was conceived by Sri Bhagavan and follows ancient Vedic geometric patterns to generate extraordinary sacred energy, the Hall welcomes every man and woman who desires the pure experience of the Divine or the Transcendental, regardless of belief. This space is where spiritual concepts give way to the silent longing of each individual’s heart, where seekers of all faiths come to sit in the loving embrace of their own personal God.
Thousands of followers and friends of Oneness, building professionals and local craftsmen contributed ingenuity, skill and enthusiasm to make the Hall of Awakening a reality. A rich array of indigenous materials was used in the completion of the magnificent structure, including white Indian marble, semi-precious stones, enduring metals, and hundreds of varieties of native woods.
The Hall sits on forty-two acres of level land and stands a hundred and eight feet tall. The top floor of the structure can hold up to 8,000 people and contains over 25,640 square feet of meditating space. The Hall’s grand inner hall is the largest structure built without pillars in Asia. The only standing object in the vast main hall is an empty throne where visitors may envision the image of Divinity that suits their individual faith. It is the desire of Sri Amma, Sri Bhagavan and everyone at the Oneness University to welcome visitors from all countries to the Temple and join in a solemn prayer of grace for the Awakening of humanity.
