Content: A small story... In a school, all the scout boys were supposed to tell their

Content: teacher the good deeds that they did for that day. Every day they did some good

Content: deeds and came and reported to their teacher. One day three friends, all boys,

Content: stood up and said, 'Sir, today we helped an old lady cross the road.' The teacher

Content: was not able to understand. He was not able to understand, why three students

Content: were needed to help an old lady cross the street.

Content: He asked, 'Why? Why did you need three people to help

Content: an old lady cross the road? It won't take three people.'

Content: They said, 'Sir, it took all the three of us because she did not want to cross the

Content: road!'

Content: Many times we extend help without thinking about the situation. When we try to

Content: help somebody without them seeking help, we create only more and more

Content: trouble for them. All our services done out of ego, end only in creating trouble

Content: for others. Here I request all of you, unless you ask me, I won't be able to help.

Content: By you being here, I assume that you are interested or you are asking the help

Content: for the ultimate experience of your enlightenment. Unless you ask, whatever

Content: help I give will only be a problem or trouble for you.

Content: The whole Ashtavakra Gita, this great book is delivered to Janaka, because Janaka asked. If you have come here just to check out what Nithyananda has got to say, you are welcome. No problem, you are welcome, but please be here completely. Usually our mind is such, when we get up early in the morning and start brushing our teeth, it is already in the office, thinking about the office, worrying about the office. When we are in the office, our mind is already in the evening program, some cinema or theatre or temple, or some other evening program. When we are sitting in the theater or temple, our mind has already come back to the house. We are thinking about the house. One thing is sure: if we are here, our mind is not here. Our mind doesn't stay in the place where our body stays. Our mind doesn't rest inside our boundary.

Content: We all live like ghosts for most of the time; body in one place, mind somewhere else. We don't stay inside our boundary. If you really want this three day program to be a big help, if you really feel it should help you, if you really want to have some benefit from this three day program, I request you all to stay inside your boundaries for the entire three days. Please stay inside your boundary, inside your body. This whole program will do miracles in your being.

Content: Today's subject is 'Enlightenment - It is possible'. Before entering into the subject, let me introduce the book, the Ashtavakra Gita.

Content: Man has created so many spiritual scriptures. But nothing can be compared to Ashtavakra Gita. This book is pure spiritual science. It is a technology created

Page 6

Content: by the enlightened master Ashtavakra, to reproduce the same experience, which happened in him. Understand: A scientist is a person who creates a formula to reproduce things of the outer world, anything happening in the outer world.

Content: Newton saw something in the outer world and he started contemplating on that experience. For example, he saw an apple falling from the tree - he started contemplating on that experience and he created a formula. He created a theory, through which people will be able to understand about gravity.

Content: Scientist is a person who creates formulas or theories to make outwardly things clear, for people to understand outwardly things. Scientist is a person, who creates formulas to reproduce the understandings of the outer world.

Content: Spiritual master is a person, who creates a formula to reproduce the experience of the inner world. Ashtavakra is a spiritual scientist. He created a beautiful technology, through which he is able to reproduce the same experience that happened in him. All you need is just a little bit of sincerity. Just be inside your boundary. You will see Ashtavakra’s Sutra, his collection of aphorisms work miracles on you. The scripture created by him, the technology created by him, can reproduce the same experience, which happened in him. All you need to do is, be inside your boundary. Be inside your being.

Content: The whole story of Ashtavakra is beautiful. We don’t know much about Ashtavakra, but there are few incidents, very significant incidents in his life.

Page 7

Content: The story starts before his birth. It is supposed to be a puranic story, an epic story from Hindu mythology; it's very difficult to believe this as a fact. The story starts when Ashtavakra's mother was carrying him, when he was in the womb. Ashtavakra's father used to recite Vedic mantras, chants from the Hindu scriptures. He used to chant all the mantras. When the father was chanting, the son used to listen to all the mantras.

Content: Suddenly one day the son started questioning the father from inside the womb. 'What you are chanting are pure words. It has no juice; it has no experience. You are just an intellectual pundit (learned person). Where is the truth?'

Content: The father was shocked. I think that from Ashtavakra's time, the problem of generation gap started. Ashtavakra was the first person who created, who started the generation gap problem. Ashtavakra is asking, 'What happened to the knowledge? What happened to the wisdom? You are reciting only words. They are just pure words. There is no juice, there is no wisdom in them.' Of course, the father as usual was simply hurt.

Content: A Pundit's ego is always very strong, because their whole personality is built on words. Actually we can easily hurt a person, who just lives with mere words. A Pundit can be easily hurt than anybody else, because his whole mind, his whole life is centered on words. He gets easily cheated.

Content: We can easily cheat a Pundit. Just give him two or three compliments. Just verbally tell him that he is a great person, over. We can easily hurt him by

Content: telling him few words. His whole life is centered on words and words and words. So he is deeply hurt.

Content: The moment the father was deeply hurt, he cursed. He cursed the son. ‘What, before taking birth itself you dare to question me? Who knows what else you will do after taking birth?’ So he just cursed him. Because of the curse, Ashtavakra took birth with eight problems or difficulties in his body. At eight spots, his body was crooked. There were eight curves in his body.

Content: I don’t know whether the story is a fact or if it happened and all those things. But the story has got significance. It has got truth in it. Let us understand the truth behind the story. Usually the great masters who take birth in the planet earth, take conscious births. Consciously they enter into the mother’s womb and they enter into the body and start radiating their enlightenment.

Content: The meaning of the story is that Ashtavakra was conscious even before birth. That is the truth. That is the meaning of the story. We cannot prove for sure whether he really spoke, whether he was really cursed and all those things. We do not know. But the truth, which our masters are trying to explain through the story is that Ashtavakra was conscious of his being. He was conscious about his birth.

Content: Now, the next story is another beautiful story: Ashtavakra goes to the palace of Janaka, a great king. The moment Ashtavakra enters Janaka's palace, the whole

Page 10

Content: palace started laughing, because Ashtavakra looked ugly with the eight curves in his body. All the ministers and all the people including Janaka, started laughing. But Ashtavakra did not get hurt.

Content: If we are hurt, we are defeated. At any point if we are hurt, we are defeated. If we become angry, we are defeated. Ashtavakra was not hurt, he was not disturbed. He was just completely relaxed. He says to Janaka, ‘Oh Janaka, I thought you were a great rishi (sage). I thought you were a great-enlightened person; you were a great yogi (accomplished spiritual person). But you are neither a yogi, nor do you have any yogis around you. You have only cobblers in your court. You have only shoemakers in your court.’

Content: Ashtavakra boldly says, ‘You have only shoemakers in your court.’ You need to understand this statement; it is a beautiful statement. Straight away very boldly, a twelve-year-old boy, a twelve-year-old handicapped boy, is talking like this to the king of the country.

Content: (There’s a loud banging sound - like hammering going on outside the lecture hall. Master pauses for a while and refers to that below.)

Content: This is good actually. It creates a homely atmosphere. Otherwise we feel like we are in a professional office place. One or two mistakes really create intimacy. I tell you, if you want to create real intimacy with any of your friends, make two or three mistakes. Let them enter into your space. See, we never want

Page 11

Content: to do mistakes because we want to protect our ego. Constantly we protect ourselves. And whenever we make two or three mistakes our ego is offended because we give space for the other person to enter. Having the courage to make a few mistakes, completely opens us up. We open ourselves to others and give space for others to enter and advice us.

Content: So making one or two small, small mistakes really creates friendship or bondage. We are allowing the other person to enter our space by letting him advice us.

Content: One more thing, if we let people advice us, they will really feel intimate with us. That's one of the important techniques to get close to a person. Just allow them to advice you.

Content: Many times I see this when people come to me for counseling. For many of their problems they come to me for counseling. When they come they start talking, 'Master, please tell us some method on how to get enlightened. Please give us some techniques on how to realize God.' Usually I never answer all these questions straightaway.

Content: One person came to me a few months ago and he started asking, 'Please Master, teach me how to achieve God, how to achieve enlightenment.' I started asking him, 'How are you? where are you from? what do you do? what business do you have? how many kids you have?' etc.

Page 12

Content: The man started answering all these questions; he started the general talk. After this, he was with me for three hours and he did not even raise the question again. Three hours he was with me, and he did not even bother to ask the main question with which he came. From this you can understand, how important the question was for him. He asked just because he had to ask something. And throughout the three hours, he was the one actually talking to me. I hardly spoke anything.

Content: And the fun part is not just that. After going out he told my secretary, ‘Master spoke of so many things, so many great things. He told me so many good things.’ When I came out the secretary asked me, ‘Master, what did you speak to him, he was so happy?’

Content: I said, ‘I just let him speak. I allowed him to speak, that’s all.’ When you allow somebody to talk, to advice you, they feel really good. So making one or two mistakes is really good. It opens us up and the atmosphere will not be that tense. It will not be a professional atmosphere. So once in a while all these things are okay.

Content: A handicapped twelve-year-old boy, Ashtavakra is entering into the court and the whole court is laughing. If we were in Ashtavakra’s place, we would have immediately become angry. First, our ego would have been hurt; it would have been full of anger.

Page 14

Content: Next, either we would have shouted at the people who laughed, or we would have left the place, that's all. But here is a person who nobody can disrespect. Nobody can disrespect a person who lives in spontaneity, nobody can. He has got respect for himself. Nobody can give us suffering unless we give our silent permission. Unless we allow, unless we give our silent permission, nobody can disrespect us; nobody can hurt us.

Content: Ashtavakra is such an integrated being, such a beautiful being, he is not allowing others to hurt him or depress him. Straight away he talks with spontaneity: 'You have only shoemakers.' Be very clear, if we become angry, we cannot use the right words. But Ashtavakra is using the right words: cobblers, shoemakers, etc. Janaka was shocked.

Content: Ashtavakra explains, 'These people are seeing only my skin, not the being. Cobblers see only the skin, not the reality. When the cobbler sees an animal, he will think only about the skin, not the being.'

Content: When a tailor sees you, he will see only your dress. He will measure your being, only based on the dress you are wearing. When a jeweler sees you, he will first see only the jewelry you are wearing. He will judge you based on the jewelry that you are wearing. He weighs you based on the gold that you are wearing. People look at things only from their angles. They have their own ideas; they have their own imaginations.

Page 15

Content: Ashtavakra says, 'You have only cobblers around you - people who only see the skin, not the being. My body has got eight curves, no doubt. But my being is pure; my being is straight.'

Content: You can't upset a man who lives in spontaneity. You can't stop him; you can't disrespect him.

Content: There's a beautiful Zen story:

Content: There was a well-known Zen master; he was giving a beautiful discourse. One Buddhist monk, a learned person who had not experienced anything but well read, came to this discourse. The moment he entered the hall, he started shouting. 'What Zen do you know, what spirituality do you know? What are you talking about?'

Content: The Zen master was a young person. The learned man kept on shouting, 'What are you talking about, what Zen do you know? You can make only these fools listen to what you say, you can't make me listen. Can you make me listen to what you say?'

Content: The Master was very polite; he just said, 'Sir can you please come closer? I am not able to hear you properly.'

Page 16

Content: The monk comes with all his arrogance. Then the master says, 'Can you please come this side?' He comes to this side.

Content: Then the master turns his face, 'I'm still not able to hear you properly. Can you move a little closer to the other side please?' Then he moved a little closer to the other side.

Content: Then the master says, 'You seem to be a nice person. Already you've listened to what I said three times. Now please sit down and listen to the rest of the discourse.' The Zen master was spontaneous here. A person who lives in spontaneity can never be disrespected. We can never catch him.

Content: Ashtavakra is a person who lives in spontaneity. He lives completely in the present moment. He can neither be disrespected nor be deluded by the ego. He is not disturbed, he is just clear about his being. And he says clearly, 'Janaka, you have only cobblers around you.' These words really touched Janaka. Janaka understood these words.

Content: Janaka is an intelligent person, an intelligent king, a rare politician and a rare being. Being a king and having intelligence is really something unique. Janaka is a king and an intelligent being. He understood the meaning of the words uttered by Ashtavakra.

Page 17

Content: He immediately comes down from the throne, touches the feet of Ashtavakra and says, 'Please forgive me, I understand what you say.' And not only that, not only did he ask Ashtavakra to forgive him, but further he puts forth one more statement, 'Master, oh lord' - he calls Ashtavakra as Master; 'Oh lord, just from your very words, I understood what you spoke was from your experience.'

Content: Please understand, if you want to find out whether somebody is an experienced person, an enlightened person or just an intellectual pundit, see when he is hurt, see when he is disrespected. See how he behaves when he is disrespected. That will clearly show whether he has experienced, whether he is an experienced person or an intellectual pundit.

Content: We can have our titles or position or status; we can keep everything as long as our ego is not hurt. The moment our ego is hurt, the septic matter, the pus that is inside the infected wound will come out. If we have ego, simply the pus will come out. We will radiate the anger, violence and vengeance. How someone behaves, how he responds when he is hurt, when he is disrespected, will give you clarity as to whether he is really enlightened or whether he is just an intellectual pundit.

Content: Here, Ashtavakra is completely disrespected. See, if you say a word and then laugh about somebody that will not hurt so much. But just by looking, if you laugh at somebody, the very being is rejected. When you enter somebody's house, if you start to speak and if people start laughing and talking, then you

Page 18

Content: can understand that they are not ready to hear what you have to say. Here the people are not accepting only your speech. However, if they start laughing the moment you enter, your very being is not being accepted. Sometimes, if we don't open our mouth people may think we are fools. If we open it, it may be confirmed. We may confirm it. So at the most they may reject our words; but just by entering if they start laughing our very being is rejected.

Content: Here the very being of Ashtavakra is rejected and disrespected by the ministers of the court. But he was not offended; he was not disturbed. When you address the Masters you can't use the word 'Was'; we can only use the word 'Is'. We can't use the past tense 'Was' for them. We can't say He was, we can only say He is. When we mention the incidents of the past, although grammatically we have to use the word was, when we mention about the masters they 'Are'. They are always available; they are in the present. We can't use the words of past tense.

Content: You see, dead masters are not absent as you think they are. Moreover, the living masters are not present as you think they are. It is their energy, sheer presence that gives them the authority.

Content: Ashtavakra is not hurt and he is so clear about his being and he is clearly expressing the reality. Janaka says, 'Just by your very words, your few words, I can understand you are an enlightened being. Your words are from your very being. Please teach me; please give me the wisdom that you have.'

Page 19

Page 20

Content: King Janaka requested him. Because Janaka asked, whatever Ashtavakra taught become a big help to him. It helped King Janaka to transform his life, to awaken his being, to achieve enlightenment.

Content: Here I request you that unless you ask, this help cannot be given. If I give you without you asking, it will be just like the scout boys helping the old lady to cross the road. Three boys had to help one lady because she did not want to cross the road. So please be very clear, I do not want to force the help on you.

Content: By you being here, I assume you are requesting this help. So I'm entering into the sutra, the aphorism. I'm entering into the Ashtavakra Gita, assuming you need the help, you need the wisdom and you need the knowledge of Ashtavakra.

Content: Let me give the sloka (verses) in English itself and then I will give the explanations.

Content: Janaka asked:

Content: How can knowledge be acquired?

Content: And how can liberation be attained? And how is renunciation possible? Tell me this, oh lord.

Page 21

Content: It's a beautiful question. Janaka, by his very being is a seeker. By mistake he might have laughed, but by his very being he is a seeker, seeker of the truth, seeker of the reality. So he is asking:

Content: How can knowledge be acquired? How is liberation attained?

Content: How is renunciation possible? Tell me this oh lord.

Content: We need to understand the word liberation. Liberation means, not being disturbed, polluted or touched by the inner or outer world goals. If we are not touched, polluted or corrupted by the outer world or inner world goals, we are liberated. The moment we understand the purposelessness of the whole existence, we are liberated. Please understand, I am using a big word, purposelessness. Whatever we think as purpose, binds our lives. Bondage is thinking that there is a purpose in our lives.

Content: Immediately you may ask the next question, ‘What do you mean Master? You think there is no purpose in our lives?’ Your life has got meaning, but it has no purpose. Be very clear, purpose means that we are constantly worried about the goal. We are constantly worried about the achievement. We are constantly bothered about what has to be achieved.

Content: Be very clear, goal is not the result of the life. Life itself is the result of the life. For example, in one month if we earn 20,000 rupees (about 400 dollars),

Page 22

Content: we measure our thirty days time as 20,000 rupees. Mentally by and by we start calculating our one-month as equal to 20,000 rupees. Whenever we go to a store, we measure in our mind, 'Oh, to buy this dress, I have to work 15 days. To buy this jewelry, I have to work two months.'

Content: Only based on the money we measure our month. Be very clear, if somebody says, they will give us 100 years' salary in lump sum in one stroke, and asked us to die, would we accept it? No, but our mind has been conditioned so much, we measure our whole life based on the money which we make each month.

Content: The value of our life is calculated by our mind based on the money that we make. We need to understand one important thing: Our life is not equal to the money or wealth, which we are creating. Money or wealth is beautiful as long as we use it. Be very clear, when we start measuring our whole life, when we start calculating our whole life just based on the money, when our whole life is centered only on money, we are seriously missing something in life. Something is seriously wrong with our thinking system.

Content: When we start measuring our life based on the money that we make, we are living in a miserable condition. If we measure our whole life just based on the money we are making, we will be happy only on the first and the second day of the month when we receive our paycheck, when we receive our salary. The next twenty-eight days of the month we will be waiting just for those two paydays.

Page 23

Content: We will be selling our twenty-eight days just to be happy on those two days. Please do not sell your life. Do not sell your life for some goals.

Content: Two things: If we sell our life for some goal, first thing - we may not achieve anything at all and feel frustrated. Second thing, we may achieve our goal, but still feel depressed. Be very clear, there is an important phrase that needs to be understood: ‘depression of success’.

Content: Depression, which happens after failure is not real depression. Because there is always somebody who can give you hope that you will be successful the next time. There are hundreds of self-help books, ‘how to books’. If you want to become mad read the ‘how to books’ - it’s a straight way to hell, direct way to hell. What these how to books, these self-help books actually do is this: If you are normally living with your problems, you may have ten worries. But if you read these self-help books, they constantly tell you don’t worry, don’t worry, don’t worry. Now you have one more worry - how to stop your worrying.

Content: What the self-help books do is, create one more worry for you. Let me tell you about a true incident: ‘How to stop worrying, start living’ - it’s a great book, written by Dale Carnegie. Dale Carnegie is the author and he wrote two books: ‘How to stop worrying and start living’ and another book, ‘How to win friends and influence people’. Both are international bestsellers. One more piece of information that you should know: These books are the second best selling

Page 24

Content: books after the Bible. Next to Bible means, it's practically second to Christ.

Content: Next to Bible, these books are printed and sold all over the world.

Content: In the first book he says, how to stop worrying and start living, how to stop

Content: suicidal thoughts. In the next book he says, how to have a good relationship

Content: with your wife. These are the two main ideas. Have any of you read his books?

Content: Have any of you read his biography? He committed suicide. He committed

Content: suicide, because he was not able to live with his wife happily. Really I tell you,

Content: this is the truth. Please understand, I'm not making a joke or anything, it's the

Content: truth.

Content: He committed suicide just because he was not able to live with his wife happily.

Content: And I'll tell you the secret of how to write these 'how to books'. There's an

Content: important secret: Whatever you can't practice, just write and publish it. It will

Content: become a bestseller!

Content: Three simple steps to become a philosopher: First thing, whatever you can't

Content: practice, write it and publish it. Second thing, it should not be told in a simple

Content: language. Third thing, complicate things as much as possible. That's all.

Content: If you can complicate a simple thing as much as possible, you will become a

Content: great philosopher. And one more small tip: Try to criticize all other systems as

Content: much as possible. These are all few simple tips on how to become the best

Content: philosopher or how to write these 'how to books'. These self-help books will

Page 25

Content: neither give you peace nor guide you. Here, when you start working with these books, if you have ten worries, now you have the eleventh worry of how to stop worrying and how to start living.

Content: Even if we face the depression out of failure, it's OK. We always have some hope that somebody can inspire us to run again. But if we face the depression after success, nothing can be done. If you are an intelligent person, around the age of forty to forty-five, you have to face the depression of success. This is the scale to find out whether you are intelligent or not. If you are forty to forty-five and still you have not faced the depression of success, be very clear something is seriously wrong. Something is missing in your life.

Content: Around the age of forty to forty-five, you have to face the depression of success, because around that age you would have achieved whatever you wanted to achieve. But suddenly you realize, 'I achieved whatever I wanted to achieve, but I have not achieved what for I wanted to achieve.' Achieving what I want is different. Achieving what for I wanted is different. You always wanted the house, car, relationships, and bank balance for the sake of a happy life. But by the time you achieve all these things you are conditioned to suffer. Liberation, the concept of liberation means understanding the pure purposelessness of life.

Content: In the young age when you are happy, blissful by nature, when you are bubbling and overflowing with energy, you postpone your joy. You always have some purpose, some goal in front of you. You always tell your mind, 'No, no, no after

Page 26

Content: graduating from college, I think I will relax and then I will be happy.' After the college you think, 'Once I get a job and settle, then I'll be peaceful.' Once you get the job, 'I think after my marriage I'll be happy and blissful.' After the marriage we know; now we know how the life really is. After that again you think, 'Once kids are born, I'll be happy.' And after the kids you think 'Once they all grow up and finish their education, I think I'll be happy.' By the time they are settled in their life, you are conditioned to suffer.

Content: The stress of suffering or worrying becomes part of your being. You are completely conditioned to suffer. After that, if the worry or stress is taken away from you, you feel lonely. You feel you are missing something. You feel you are not as you were earlier in life. That is the reason old people cannot sit with themselves. They get hold of somebody and start talking to them - 'In 1962 when I was in the army...' they'll start telling their stories.

Content: See, it's not accidental; all around the world, all grandparents tell stories to their grand kids. Not only in Indian culture but all around the world in all the cultures this is the tradition. This tradition started not for the sake of the kids but for the sake of the grandparents because they feel lonely. We can see that in our lives. Elderly people - they would have been married, their kids would have been married, and sometimes even their grandkids would have been married. But they will be sitting and reading matrimonial column in the newspaper with big glasses! They cannot sit with themselves They cannot relax with themselves.

Content: Relaxing within ourselves is what I call liberation.

Page 27

Content: A person who can sit with himself, without expecting anything from the outer world is liberated. He is Jeevan Muktha or liberated soul. Don’t think of big, big meaning for the word Jeevan Muktha. If you have big, big ideology about Jeevan Muktha, you will never think it is possible.

Content: Today’s subject is ‘Enlightenment - It is possible.’ You will never understand it is possible, if you associate it with all big ideologies. Understand, it is very simple and this is the actual definition. Jeevan Muktha means: A person who can sit with himself, one who doesn’t need anything from the outer world to entertain him, excite him and make him peaceful or happy. He can sit with himself.

Content: Liberation means understanding the purposelessness of life. Understanding clearly that, our lives cannot be measured by the money that we make. It is something, which is more than the money we make. It is not the twenty-five thousand rupees (500 dollars) per month, which we make. If we think that twenty-five thousand is our life, we will live in hell for twenty- eight days; we will be in heaven only for two days. We will be selling out twenty-eight days of our lives each month for these two days.

Content: A person who keeps the money as his goal or a person who keeps something as his goal will be happy and blissful only for a few moments when he achieves his goal. Just those few moments, he will be thinking that he is happy. When we

Page 28

Content: understand that whatever goals we have achieved - nothing has got a purpose, it has no purpose at all, when we understand the purposelessness of life - that life itself has no separate purpose, we will start living moment to moment.

Content: We will respect every moment. We will start respecting the life itself. We will start living in the present. When we drop the goal from our mind, our very work will become beautiful. Our very work will become joyful. We will not be running for something. The very running will be beautiful. If we are running thinking of a goal, we will never see the beautiful garden that is around us.

Content: If we are just running for the pleasure, we will enjoy the garden and we will reach the goal. Both will happen. Infuse little bit of peace and bliss in your life and you will understand the purposelessness of life. If we think life has got purpose, we will never understand the meaning of life. The moment we understand that life has no purpose, that moment we will be liberated. That moment we will understand the meaning of life. Meaning of life is living in this moment.

Content: This is what Krishna says:

Content: 'Karmanye vaadhikarasthe maa baleyshu kadhaachana.'

Content: You have the right only to do your duty. You have no right for results.

Content: It means, do not live a goal-oriented life and do not think life has a purpose.

Content: Understand that our whole life is just a small wave in the ocean of the cosmic energy. In this big cosmic energy, in this cosmos, in this Brahmanda - the universal energy, we are just a small wave. We are just a small wave. Suddenly the wave thinks, 'Oh, I should protect myself,' and starts asking the neighboring waves, 'Please be my wife, be my husband or you be my son. Let's all protect ourselves, let's all live together and let's all live a happy life.' Then the wave collects a few grains of sand from the beach and says, 'This is my treasure.'

Content: The wave starts thinking, this is the purpose of life and it is thinking that now it is protected. And it locks two or three sand pieces and two, three pebbles with one wave, and gives it to another wave and says, 'See, I'm lending all this money to you. You have to give it back when I ask.' And the wave thinks it is completely secure and protected. But it doesn't understand that the next moment it is going to disappear into the same ocean.

Content: In the same way, we are all like the waves. It's all a few minutes drama. Next moment we are going to disappear into the same ocean. Just like the way the wave thinks it is separate from the ocean and wants to protect itself and starts collecting few pebbles from the beach and thinks it is rich or it is protected or it is secure, it has got life insurance, we do the same thing.

Page 31

Content: Now, life insurance is another big drama. You cannot use the word 'life insurance' at all. It should actually be 'death insurance'. See, after you die your family or friends or relatives get that money that they have been waiting for. So you cannot call it life insurance; you can only call it death insurance.

Content: So be very clear, just like how the wave thinks that it is secure by collecting few pebbles, same way we are also thinking that we are safe by having a few diamonds in our safe deposit box. Both those pebbles and our diamonds are one and the same. Because few people want to possess these diamonds, it has got market value, that's all. Only because of the foolish desire of the few people who want to possess that stone, it has got market value. Otherwise in reality, that and this are one and the same. Whether that stone or this stone, they are one and the same. Because few people are competing to possess the same stone, it has market value.

Content: No stone can protect us. Just as the wave thinks by collecting few pebbles it is protected, it's life is insured, it is secure, same way we think that possessing few things is what makes us secure. Life is pure purposelessness. Even though it is slightly difficult to understand this truth because of our social conditioning, the moment we understand it, we will be liberated. A person who understands that life is purposeless will start working ten times more intensely than others. He will be working ten times more intensely. Do not think you will become lazy when you realize that life is purposeless.

Page 32

Content: People always ask me, 'Master, you say life is purposeless. When we start thinking all these things, we don't want to work, what to do now?' Understand this: Because we have created too many negative thoughts about our work, because we are conditioned to think work is punishment, work is hell, working is wrong, working creates stress, because we are again and again taught all these ideas, again and again we are conditioned with these ideas, the moment we understand that life is purposeless, we want to escape from work. It is just because of our conditioning, not because of our understanding.

Content: Now if we really understand that life is purposeless, the stress to achieve success, the pressure to achieve success, the peer pressure will be removed from us. The moment the peer pressure is removed from our being, we will be liberated. And I tell you, a liberated person will be creative. A Liberated person will be energetic. Liberated person, by his own understanding will start working. Understanding life's purposelessness will not lead us to laziness. If it is leading us to laziness, be very clear, we have a negative attitude towards our work. We have already built up the negative attitude towards our work. That's the reason we try to escape the moment we get this understanding.

Content: But sincerely if we understand the beauty of purposelessness, if we understand that life is purposeless, we will be continuously working without stress, without the pressure of the goal, without constantly thinking about the goal. We always think that life has to have a utility.

Page 33

Content: See, two kinds of societies have been created. One kind, believes that man can be made to work only if he is run by fear and greed. He can be enslaved only if he is constantly taught that he is not enough. The other group, believes that man will express his energy totally if he is already fulfilled.

Content: The eastern rishis believe, that man will express his energy to the maximum, if he believes he is already full. That is the first truth you are taught in the eastern mysticism, by the eastern mystics: You are full. When the whole is removed from the whole, the whole remains as the whole. You are asked to express yourself just out of your fullness. You are not made to run based on fear and greed. Whereas, the other social systems are made to believe that man will work only out of fear and greed. That is why you are taught in your colleges, in your universities, that you are not full, that life has got some utility.

Content: Understand that life has no utility. If you believe that life has some utility value, you will constantly be hypnotized into thinking that you are not enough unto yourself. Constantly you are taught, that you are not enough. But with the eastern rishis, you are constantly taught that you are enough. You are enough unto yourself. With this very idea, you can enjoy the life. Life is to be lived joyfully.

Content: If we understand that we are full and express our fullness, it will be purely out of compassion. We will attract more and more joyful things and experiences in our life. If we believe strongly that we are not enough unto ourselves and start

Page 34

Content: running based on fear and greed, we will only create and attract incidents and people of the same nature.

Content: By our very nature, we will reproduce what we believe. If anything has to survive, it should reproduce itself. If we believe our life is running only on fear and greed, we will reproduce that same thing in everybody. We will reproduce that same fear and greed in everybody.

Content: If we have lost our self-respect, we would think we can run only based on fear and greed. We have forgotten that we can run gracefully, that we can live gracefully. See, if we are children and we are told, 'Hey do this and I will give you candy, if you don't do this I will punish you' - if a child is managed based on fear and greed, it's OK. But after we are 80, if we should still be handled with the fear and greed, it means we are mentally retarded; we have not grown.

Content: A child can be handled with fear and greed, but we don't need fear and greed. When you ask the question, what is utility, you are asking based on fear and greed. If you compare the social systems for crime rate, etc. between the society based on the attitude 'enough' and the society based on 'more and more' or 'what next, what next', you will see the big difference in the depression rate and you will understand what fear and greed can do to you.

Page 35

Content: In the Indian society, the civilization is the outcome of ten thousand years of research and development, done by at least a million inner scientists who were working in human consciousness using at least a million inner science laboratories. When I say inner science laboratories, I mean temples and ashrams. In India there are one million temples and ashrams in which everyday congregation happens. Everyday people gathered in at least one million inner science laboratories, temples and ashrams.

Content: The societal systems that are developed based on the modern science and intellect, which are hardly five hundred years old is based on the idea that we know everything and we can solve everything. But people have started questioning that kind of civilization because, that does not have answers for their basic problems.

Content: The problem of the intellect is, it again and again divides. The quality of emotion is, it again and again unites. The society based on the idea that we know everything or we can solve everything, holds the theory that our intellect is the last, the ultimate. Those societies have started facing a big failure, terrible failure. These societies based on intellect are already facing 66 % of depression. Two out of three people take psychiatric drugs in these countries.

Content: This very fact shows that something is wrong in the roots. People are not wrong, but the inspirers of the social system are wrong. In India the depression rate is only 0.6%. Considering the population of one billion people living in such a small land, even the crime rate in India is negligible.

Page 37

Content: Constantly running after something puts tremendous pressure on a person. If we understand that life is purposeless, we will realize the futility of constantly running after some goal. And the pressure of running after the goal and the stress that comes out of it will simply drop. As of now we have a split personality. Half of our being is thinking about the goal, half of our being is thinking about the path. The moment we understand that goal is useless, we will be integrated and we will be on the path. The very path, the very life, becomes liberation. Working out of liberation is what I call working as an enlightened being, an enlightened CEO. If you are working out of liberated consciousness, you live in leader consciousness. You achieve the state of the leader.

Content: Two things: Status of the leader is different; state of the leader is different. Status of the leader is related to our society, our position, our bank balances and all these things. State of the leader is related to our understanding of the life. If we have this deep understanding, we will achieve the state of the leader, the leader consciousness. Man will be liberated, if he lives in the leader consciousness.

Content: Janaka asks:

Content: How to achieve liberation?

Content: How is renunciation possible? Tell me this oh lord.

Page 38

Content: Renunciation is a beautiful word. People always come and ask me, 'Master, should I renounce everything to achieve enlightenment? Should I renounce everything to realize divine?'

Content: I tell them, 'No, just renounce what you don't have, that's enough. You don't have to renounce what you have, just renounce what you don't have.'

Content: Fear, anxiety, unnecessary worries, unnecessary fantasies, too much of imaginations - all these things are not there in your real life. However, mentally you are living with all these things. 99% of your worries never come true. Whatever one percent comes true is always good for you. Fear itself is nothing but negative fantasy. You are living with so many things that you don't have. Just live with whatever you have and renounce what you don't have, that's enough. All these things exist only in the mind, not in reality.

Content: Now, let us give our prayers and requests to Ashtavakra, the great-enlightened master, to help us understand the technology created by him, the formula created by him, to achieve the same state of Ashtavakra, the same state of enlightenment. Please close your eyes and pray to that ultimate energy, that gave this science through Ashtavakra to all of us. Pray to him intensely. Let him give us a deep understanding about this science, let him make us understand this science, let this become our experience and let this become part of our being. Let us digest the teachings and the technology of Ashtavakra.

Page 39

Content: Ashtavakra starts the beautiful answer:

Content: If you aspire after liberation my child,

Content: Shun the objects of the senses as poison

Content: And seek forgiveness, sincerity, kindness, contentment,

Content: and truth as nectar.

Content: You are neither earth, nor water, nor fire, nor air, nor ether.

Content: In order to attain liberation realize yourself as the knower of all these and consciousness itself.

Content: Beautiful two sloka, beautiful two sutra. In the first sutra, he speaks about few things, few qualities - the basic qualities like shun the objects of the senses, seek forgiveness, be sincere, be kind, be content and live with the truth. And in the second sutra he says - please understand, in the second sutra he expresses the technology. He says you are neither earth, nor water, nor fire, nor air or ether.

Content: In order to attain liberation, realize yourself as the knower of all these and consciousness itself.

Content: It's a beautiful sloka.

Page 40

Content: In the first part he gives few disciplines, few moral lessons. And in the second part he gives the technology to achieve the state. I think this is the way they presented in those days. First little bit of discipline, then enlightenment. But I tell you, for modern men unless the experience itself happens, we can't even ask him to be disciplined. If you tell him, 'Please shun the objects of the senses,' he will ask, 'What for? Why? What's the need? We are very happy. Why should we do all these things?'

Content: Unless we can give the direct experience, we cannot tell the modern man anything, we cannot give all this advice. Advice is one thing that everybody gives and nobody takes. For modern man we cannot say 'First enter into all this, then you can experience.' No, that's the reason why our spirituality is outdated. In the modern day, we'll have to put the second sutra first and first sutra second.

Content: After our experience, extraordinary discipline will follow in our lives. We cannot force discipline on anyone. We can't force discipline on ourselves. We can only work towards the alchemy, the transformation of our being. We can only work towards enlightenment. Once that experience starts happening, automatically the morality will happen to us. The discipline will happen in us.

Content: So I am explaining the second sutra first. Let us enter into the second sutra first. Then first sutra will start happening in our lives.

Content: We are neither earth, nor water, nor fire, nor air or ether

Page 41

Content: In order to attain liberation, realize yourself as the knower of all these and consciousness itself.

Content: Constantly you think about your life, either in a positive or in a negative way.

Content: You think of your life as a chains of beautiful incidents or you think of your life as a chain of many sufferings.

Content: Usually you think it's only a chain of suffering.

Content: Whether you think of it as a chain of sufferings, or as a chain of beautiful incidents, both are ignorance.

Content: Both are just expressing our ignorance.

Content: Be very clear, your life is not a chain as you think it is.

Content: Every moment is individual; every moment is a separate, independent moment.

Content: We are just un-clutched beings.

Content: Because usually you are clutched, you think it is a single shaft.

Content: Because you never un-clutched, you think you are a shaft.

Content: Be very clear, any moment you can just un-clutch yourself; any moment you can liberate yourself.

Content: Here Ashtavakra says:

Content: We are neither earth, nor water, nor fire, nor air, nor ether.

Content: Please be very clear, he is not requesting us to believe all these things, no.

Content: Whether he requests or not, I don't know; but I'm not requesting you to believe all these things.

Content: Let me be very clear, I'm not asking you to believe all these things.

Content: I'm just stating the fact, I'm just stating the truth, I'm just expressing the truth.

Content: If you are intelligent enough, it'll resonate in your being, you will

Page 42

Content: feel connected to what I am saying. You will deeply feel the truth of my words. If it happens in you, come tomorrow. Otherwise relax, its OK, do not bother about it.

Content: All these things cannot be achieved by believing. All I request you to do is, just be completely present here and try to listen to whatever is being uttered and try it in your life. If you are a seeker or if you are going to be helped by these scriptures or by me, simply these words will start creating a new healing effect inside your being. You will experience a deep inner healing. You will experience a deeply connected feeling.

Content: A feeling of connection will happen. You will start feeling that you are connected. If that feeling happens be very clear, you are ready for the experience. You are ready to experience. We cannot prove all these statements logically. These statements are not to be proved logically. They are not for logical analysis.

Content: A beautiful incident: Vivekananda asks Ramakrishna, ‘Master, why don’t you prove God logically?’

Content: Ramakrishna laughs: ‘If I prove God logically, logic will become God. Logic will be raised to a level higher than God himself. God is at a higher level; God is great because, he can’t even be proved by logic.’

Page 43

Content: Then Ramakrishna gives the same Ashtavakra book to Vivekananda and asks him to read it. But Vivekananda was completely confused and depressed at that time. He says 'Why should I read all these things? I don't want to.'

Content: But Ramakrishna says, 'I'm not asking you to read it for yourself, but please read it for my sake, just read. I'm old, I can't read. You are young, your eyes are fresh. Just read it for my sake so that I can listen. Just read few lines.'

Content: And the story says that Vivekananda was able to read only a few sutra. The very sutra started shaking him. He started shivering. He started trembling and the tears started flowing. He just dropped the book and started begging Ramakrishna, 'I don't know why, but I can't read this book anymore. My whole being is shaken.'

Content: Be very clear, if you intensely listen your whole being will be shaken. If you are shaken, this book is for you, I am for you. If it doesn't happen, do not bother, relax in the house tomorrow. There are so many other beautiful programs. Use your time in a much better way. When you work with the truth you don't need to believe it. The very power of the truth will shake you. The very power of the truth will start working in you. You will not be able to forget the very power of the truth.

Page 44

Content: People ask me, 'Master, how to remember all your teachings and follow them in our lives?'

Content: I tell them, 'Never do that mistake. Never try to remember my teachings. If my teachings are the truth, you don't have to remember them. They will remember you. Just listen and understand. Whenever it is necessary they will automatically come up and they will make you do things according to the truth.'

Content: If you have to force yourself, think and remember and then practice, then it is not truth. Truth needs no belief.

Content: Here Ashtavakra is declaring:

Content: You are neither earth, nor water, nor air, nor fire nor ether.

Content: In order to attain liberation, realize your self as the knower of all these and consciousness itself.

Content: He says you are neither body, nor mind nor any of these five elements. Your body and mind are created out of these five elements. You are filled with earth, water, fire, air and ether - ether is your thoughts. You are filled with all these things, but you are not these. You are beyond all these things. You are beyond all these five elements. Understand yourself as pure consciousness. Realize yourself as a knower of all these and that you are consciousness itself.

Page 45

Content: The next question, the immediate question will come, 'How to understand that Master?' Today we will do a simple meditation technique from this sutra, to realize that you are consciousness itself. The meditation technique derived out of this sutra will give you the deeper level experience or understanding about what I am speaking. You do not have to think that you are the body, to be alive. Be very clear, you do not have to think you are the mind, to think.

Content: Somebody goes to Ramana Maharshi and says, 'Bhagavan, to live in Tiruvannamalai (where Ramana's ashram was located), six rupees, a few cents is more than enough. To live here one month, six rupees is more than enough.' In those days, cost of living was very low.

Content: Bhagavan says 'To live, even body and mind are not necessary. Why do you need six rupees?'

Content: Understand, to live even our body and mind are not necessary. If we understand we are beyond our body, our body becomes graceful. When we understand that we are beyond our mind, our mind becomes intelligent. We start radiating grace and intelligence when we understand that we are beyond body and mind.

Content: There's a beautiful sutra in Ayurveda, where the healing and spirituality are explained beautifully. In India, everything - art, culture, painting, festival, medicines, clothes - everything is connected to spirituality. Spirituality is the backbone of India. The ayurvedic science says, we get stomach problems like

Page 46

Content: constipation, etc. if we are constantly holding on to our body. If we can just relax and witness, if we start understanding that we are not the body, we will never have stomach problems.

Content: If anyone of you have a stomach problem try this. I tell you, it really works. In the last two and a half years, I've met more than a million people. And one million people have taken the meditation techniques and technologies created by me and experienced the truth or bliss in their lives. I tell you from my experience, that if you have stomach problems, just for two to three days constantly think that you are not the body. I assure you: You will be liberated from the stomach problem. Simply your stomach will be healed.

Content: One more thing: I am not giving you false hopes. I am not giving any false statement. After the experience of two and half years and after working with one million people, I am giving this statement. After thousands of case studies, I am making this statement. After long research I am telling you that if you have stomach problems like ulcer, constipation, irritation, any problem related to stomach, just for two or three days constantly think, 'I am not the body, I am not the body.' Just relax and allow the body to function. I tell you, within two or three days you will be healed. Because, the moment we start thinking that we are the body, we begin suffocating the body, we start forcing the body, we start abusing the body. We start disrespecting the body. When we think we are the body, we start disrespecting it and we start abusing it.

Page 48

Content: You can see it in your lives - for the sake of your enjoyments, you destroy the body. Till twelve o'clock at night, you sit and watch the cricket game on T.V. Your eyes are burning. Your eyes are begging you, 'Please give me little rest.' In between during commercial breaks your eyes close automatically. But you tell yourself, 'No, no, no. this is not the time for me to sleep.' And you start watching the T.V again.

Content: You are abusing your eyes for the sake of your pleasure. For the sake of your intellectual joy or ego joy, if somebody wins you associate yourself with them. You associate yourself with some country, whether it is India or Pakistan or Sri Lanka and when they win you feel joyful. By their winning you feel the joy. It's a joy that comes out of ego and association. I want all of you to understand that watching cricket is surely not patriotism. Somehow in India the idea has been spread that associating with a team and watching the cricket game shows patriotism.

Content: One young guy came to me and told me, 'Master, we have to be patriotic, that is why I watch the cricket game.'

Content: I said to him, 'What are you talking? If at all India can be represented, it can be only be represented by enlightened masters and the rishis, not by one or two players or teams.'

Page 49

Content: Be very clear, the backbone of India is totally different. I am not against a particular player, a particular game or a particular group. I am just against the very concept. All of you be very clear, if at all India can be represented, if at all you want to associate with something, then associate yourself with a group of masters, group of enlightened beings, not with a sport or the team associated with it.

Content: We start enjoying by associating ourselves with the group and for our ego satisfaction, we abuse our body, we disrespect our body. The moment we start realizing that we are not the body, we allow the body to function as it is. We allow the body to function naturally. By its very nature, it heals itself. Body has got its own intelligence. Never think because of us our body is healthy. In spite of us it is healthy. Not because of us, but in spite of us it is healthy.

Content: Constantly you abuse your body. Constantly you torture your body. The moment you start thinking, 'I am the body,' you start abusing the body. If you can relax from the idea that you are the body, you will start respecting the body. You will allow the body to live as it wants. You will allow the body intelligence to function. You will allow the body to live naturally. You will not interfere with your body. You will be alive, bubbling and overflowing with energy. You will radiate grace.

Content: The moment you start understanding that you are not the mind, you will have the sharp intelligence and spontaneity. You can see that in your own life. If two

Page 50

Content: people are playing chess and if you are watching the game, you will know better moves than those two. And if you are playing, those moves might not be so obvious to you. If you are just watching you will tell them, 'Hey, why don't you do this? Why don't you do that?' But if you yourself are playing, you will not be able to do that.

Content: Just the pressure to win makes you dull. When you are witnessing, when you are away, you don't have the pressure to win. When the pressure to win is not there you become so intelligent, so spontaneous and so alive. Your mind starts radiating intelligence.

Content: When Ashtavakra says:

Content: You are not the body, you are not the mind

Content: You are not the earth, You are not the water, you are not the fire, you are not the air, you are not the ether

Content: he says that you are not the five elements. We always think we are the five elements - body and mind made out of five elements. First thing, understand that you are not this body and mind. When you understand that you are not this body and mind, you will start respecting the body and mind. You will start living with your body and mind blissfully. You will not abuse your body. You will not disrespect your body intelligence. You will let your body live naturally.

Content: You will let your body live blissfully.

Page 51

Content: The next sutra:

Content: If you detach the body and rest in intelligence,

Content: You will at once be happy, peaceful and free from bondage.

Content: I think in these one or two sutra, Ashtavakra completely expresses whatever he

Content: wants to say. Ashtavakra clearly explains whatever he wants to say. Usually to

Content: tell things in a clear way needs intelligence. And to understand things from just

Content: two or three statements also needs intelligence. Otherwise we always

Content: understand from a different perspective.

Content: A small story:

Content: A guy from Texas goes to a European country. There he meets a farmer. The

Content: European farmer starts speaking about his farming, agriculture, and all those

Content: things.

Content: The Texas guy asks, 'Where is your farm? Can you please show me?'

Content: The farmer says, 'I have ten acres in front of my house; I have twenty acres on

Content: the side of my house.'

Page 52

Content: The Europe farmer was very proud of his thirty-acre land. Suddenly this guy asks the Texas guy, 'How many acres of land do you own? How do you do the agriculture?'

Content: Texan says 'How many acres? I don't know. Early morning I sit in my car and start and it goes on and on and on. Only in the evening, I reach the other side of the boundary.'

Content: Europe farmer immediately says, 'Oh is it so, long time ago, even I had a car like that!'

Content: Please understand, the Texan says that he has a big land. But the European farmer understands that he is talking about his car moving very slowly. You talk from one angle and the person understands from another angle.

Content: You need intelligence to present something with few words. Same way, you also need intelligence to understand something with few words.

Content: Bernard Shaw wrote a forty-page book and then he made a statement, 'I didn't have enough time. If I had enough time, I would have used my intelligence and reduced the contents to twenty pages. Because I didn't have enough time, I wrote a forty-page book.'

Page 53

Content: Be very clear, do not think if the book is voluminous, it contains intelligence. Many times few sutra, one or two lines will give the whole clarity. It can transform the whole life.

Content: Today all I wanted to express was one simple thing. Only one concept: There is something called enlightenment and it is possible. There is something called living in the body and mind without being touched by the body and mind. We can live inside the body and mind without being touched by the body and mind. We can live a liberated life.

Content: If you understood the technology of Ashtavakra, not only is it possible, it is also guaranteed. If you have the courage to enter into the technology of Ashtavakra, you can just have it. Today I say it is possible. Tomorrow, I'll explain how it is guaranteed, and day after tomorrow, just have it. There is nothing else that needs to be done.

Content: Now all you need to understand is two simple things: First thing, you are not the body and mind. Second thing, if you detach the body and rest in intelligence, you will at once be happy, peaceful and free from bondage. The moment you understand that you are not the body and mind, immediately that very moment you will become peaceful. Tremendous peace starts happening in you. You start understanding and accepting yourself as you are. In that very moment you start relaxing into yourself. In that very moment you become silent. That very moment brings bliss in you.

Page 54

Content: The moment you understand that you are not the body and mind you relax from this whole samsara sagara, ocean of material existence. As long as you associate yourself with the body and mind, you experience all the sufferings and pains of the body and mind. You experience the pains and pleasures and sufferings of the body and mind.

Content: Just understand this simple thing: For an animal to breath, for a cow to breath, it does not need ego, it does not need a being and it does not need any character. But you are afraid that if you drop your being, you will not be able to use your body. You are afraid if you drop your being, your body will not function smoothly. You have an idea about yourself, 'I am somebody's father, I am somebody's brother, I am somebody's son, I am this and I am that.' This idea that you have, this being that you carry, this ego that you carry, is not necessary for the smooth functioning of your body and mind. Of course it is very difficult to believe this.

Content: A small story:

Content: A person who was born blind went to a doctor and asked the doctor, 'Please do something and give me eyesight.' The doctor said, 'I'll perform a surgery and you'll get your vision. Then you'll be able to walk without the help of the stick.' The blind people use a stick to assist in their walking and the doctor says, 'You'll be able to walk without the stick.' The blind man says, 'Doctor, I

Page 55

Page 56

Content: understand you'll perform a surgery; I understand that I'll get my eyesight. But I am not able to understand how I can walk without the stick?'

Content: We cannot convince the blind man that he can walk without the stick after the surgery. We cannot convince him intellectually because, by and by he has started associating his walking itself with the stick. Only after the surgery he can understand that he can walk without the stick. Once he gets his eyesight, he will throw away the stick and walk.

Content: I tell you, you don't need your ego to live in the body and mind. Just like how the blind person never understands that he can walk without the stick after the surgery, you are not able to understand that you can also live in the body and mind without the ego. You can live inside your body, inside your mind without the ego. How the blind man doesn't need the stick, same way you don't need the ego to live.

Content: The ego that you are carrying, the concept about you, which you are carrying constantly, the personality that you are carrying, is not necessary for you to live inside the body and mind. You are afraid, 'No, no, no if I drop that personality people may cheat me; they may exploit me. I may be taken for a ride and somebody may cheat me in my business. Somebody may take away all my property. If I feel I'm not the body, I'll not maintain my house. I may give it away.' All these fears rise only inside of you. Please be very clear, all these fears are created in you by your ego.

Page 57

Content: As long as you are afraid, you can be exploited by the ego. Whoever wants to exploit you, first thing they have to do is to create fear in you - including your worker. If he wants to exploit you, he will create the fear in you that if he is not there you will not be able to manage things. You will start believing that if he is not there, your smooth activities will be disturbed, whether it is your company or your house or whatever it is - it will be disturbed.

Content: He creates the deep idea in you that he is an important part in your life and without him you cannot run. He creates the fear in you. Then according to the level of the fear, according to the intensity of the fear, he starts exploiting you. In the same way, the first thing the ego does is to clearly try to prove to your being that you cannot live in your body and mind without it. It creates the fear that without the personality you cannot live.

Content: Once you are frightened, once you are afraid, once you start believing that without the ego you cannot live in your body and mind, it is very easy for your ego to exploit you, to cheat you. Be very clear, it is just simple fear, nothing but simple fear.

Content: For the blind man the walking stick was just an extra accessory, which he will realize he does not need once he gets his eyesight. Same way you carry your identity as an accessory, because of the association with ego.

Page 58

Content: We all have two identities: Identity that you project to the outer world and the identity that you believe to be you in the inner world. The identity, which you believe as you inside your mind is called mamakar in Sanskrit. It will always be much lower than what you really are. You will be carrying or remembering all your failures, carrying all the past mistakes and guilt and constantly try to work on them.

Content: The identity, which you project to the outer world is called ahankar. Ahankar is your visiting card. You print all that you want others to know about yourself. That is based on the identity you show to the outer world. It will always be more than what you have, what you are. It will always be much more than what you are because you think you have to sell yourself. Especially in the societies where you have to market yourself it becomes the basic need.

Content: The ahankar will be based on superiority complex. Mamakar will be based on inferiority complex. Ahankar will be based on greed, mamakar will be based on fear.

Content: As of now you never trust you can run your life without fear or greed, without the identity that you are carrying. The identity that you show to the outer world will always be based on fear. That is why it will be always more than what is. Constantly you will be trying to keep it alive; keep it as you want.

Page 59

Content: The identity that you carry in the inner world is based on greed. That is why you are always trying to develop the identity that you are carrying inside you. You will constantly be working on the identity, which you carry inside you and believe is you and try chiseling it. You remember only your past mistakes in your mind so that you will not do it again. You want to update yourself. So you will remember only those things. You will not remember your big achievements; only others will remember your achievements. You remember only your mistakes, mostly only your failures. When you measure yourself in the inner world, inside your mind, you measure yourself with the weakest link of the chain. When you project to the outer world, you project yourself based on the strongest link of the chain.

Content: Your life is the fight between these two worlds. Your life is nothing but the fight between these two worlds. The conflict between these two is called tension. The conflict between the ahankar and mamakar, the conflict between the personality that you show to the outer world and the personality that you show in your inner world is called tension. The uneasy feeling between these two personalities, these two identities creates dis-easeness. The dis-easeness between these two identities is the disease. Understand this basic thing.

Content: Both the identities ahankar and mamakar are pure myths, both are lies. You are something beyond these two identities. You constantly spend your life trying to protect these two identities. When they start growing they start fighting with

Page 60

Content: each other and start giving you hell. It is like marrying two women at a time and moreover both of them living together with you at the same time. Then you know what it can do to you. Understand these two identities; not only they are lies but they do not exist in you. You are something far more than those two identities that you are carrying in your life.

Content: If you are spending your whole energy expanding ahankar, the identity that you project to the outer world, your life becomes materialistic. If you are spending your whole life chiseling and developing the mamakar, the identity that you think is you, your whole life becomes moralistic and suppressing.

Content: Person who works on ahankar, ends up in the depression of success around the age of 40 - 45. If you have lived your life intelligently and if you face the depression of success, it means you have achieved all you wanted to achieve, but not what for you wanted to achieve. Working on ahankar, leads to materialistic life. People who work on mamakar are constantly working on their personality, constantly working on creating some identity to feel satisfied.

Content: Working in the outer world with ahankar and working in the inner world with mamakar, both lead only to more and more suffering. Both lead to more and more difficulties or depression.

Page 61

Content: The basic truth is you are much more than these two identities. When you un-clutch from these two identities, suddenly you will realize you are beyond the two identities. Then these two can never bind you.

Content: We will do a beautiful, very effective meditation technique from this sutra. It is just a few minutes of meditation to realize the truth of this sutra. But before entering into the meditation, I'll spend few minutes answering your questions, because I've uttered too many big words. I've expressed too many concepts. Unless you question, you will not be able to digest what I said.

Content: One more thing, usually you feel, 'If I ask questions, all the people will look at me, I may look like a fool.' Please understand, if you ask your question, you may look like a fool. However, if you don't you will be a fool. It's better to look like a fool and have an answer than to be a fool. One more thing, unless you analyze these concepts with the questions and answers, you will not be able to internalize this truth. You will not be able to make this an experience in you. So I request all of you, if you have any questions you are welcome. After spending few minutes answering your questions, we'll enter into a simple meditation technique to experience the reality or the truth of Ashtavakra's words.

Content: Q: Master, you were telling us about the enlightenment through Ashtavakra. Can you explain the process of your enlightenment?

Page 62

Content: A: Nice question, but too early to ask. Do you want an honest answer or do you want a socially polite answer?

Content: Q: Honest answer.

Content: A: Honest answer, then you will have to wait till the third day. The reason I ask you to wait till the third day is because, even if I talk about my enlightenment, you will not be able to connect with it. You will not be able to accept it. You see, unless you have one glimpse of meditation or truth from me, you will not be able to trust my experience.

Content: Unless you experience the technology that I created, you will not be able to understand that I discovered it. So if I start speaking about my enlightenment, either out of politeness you will start believing it - believing is not going to help you; or you may start questioning about it - again that is not going to help you. Neither arguing will help nor believing will help. Or you may take this as one more story, that's all. Even that is not going to help you. It may look like one more fiction, story, novel - very spicy, very tasty; but that is not going to help you. Just have a little patience.

Content: Do the meditations today and tomorrow. Let these meditations work on you. You will have at least one glimpse of clarity, peace, rest or at least one moment of deep relaxation. Once that happens in you, only then you will be able to trust. You might then think, 'Oh if this can happen to me, it could have happened to

Page 63

Content: him also.' Unless you get the glimpse, you will not be able to trust that the other person has achieved. So I request you to please wait till day after tomorrow. Day after tomorrow, I will surely speak about my personal experience.

Content: Unless you yourself get a glimpse, you will not be able to relate with what I am saying. Now even if I tell you, it will be just one more story. It will not be an inspiration for you. I keep that as a last weapon to inspire you. My enlightenment story should inspire you and make you work towards that experience. If I speak about my experience when you are that much mature, it'll be an inspiration for you to work towards that same state. It can be an inspiration to make you express or grow towards the same state. So please wait till day after tomorrow.

Content: Q: Master, this is about the point that you mentioned about happiness. I was talking to my son and I said I am happy and this is what I am benefiting from the Master. He said, 'I am already happy. What do you want me to do anything else for?'

Content: A: We relate ourselves with things that we think is happiness.

Content: If he is really happy already, let him be happy. Don't bother; let him be happy.

Page 65

Content: Q: That's what I said, but at the same time I could not explain to him what kind of happiness I have. I am able to say I'm benefiting from the technique; but I think I am not able to express unhappiness because I live in some kind of happiness. So I think for a person to proceed he must know what real happiness is.

Content: A: You have to understand two things. First thing, if they feel that something is giving them happiness, let them be. Only life can teach them, you cannot teach them. All of you be very clear, you cannot teach anybody, only life can teach. Second thing, unless they need help, your help cannot help them. If you try to help without them seeking your help, it will be like the scout boys story. What happened to the scout boys? You will be doing the same thing as what they were doing. When they need your help let them come. Otherwise, only life can teach them. Your idea of happiness and unhappiness has come out of your experience. Please be honest and clear, did you listen to your father when you were young? No. You did not.

Content: Q: Actually we did listen to our fathers. This generation is different.

Content: A: To tell you honestly, I am not able to believe this statement. No son listens to his father. After they become fathers, because they have vested interest they forget that they did not listen to their fathers. Because they have to train their sons, they remember only the incidents in which they listened to their fathers. They do not remember the incidents where they said 'No' to their fathers.

Page 66

Content: I tell you one simple, basic thing. You feel that you are a man only when you say 'No' to your father. Till then you feel that you are a child. Just to prove that you are a man you start saying 'No' to your father. It's basic psychology; it's a basic thing. When you say 'No' you think that you are somebody. So please be very clear, whatever you say your son is going to say 'No', because he wants to be somebody.

Content: I read a beautiful passage in a book. One guy says 'I found three ways to get things done.' Friend asks, 'what are the three ways?'

Content: The guy replies, 'First, do it by yourself; second, hire someone to do it; third, tell your kids not to do it. That's all, it'll be done. Tell your kids not to do something, it'll definitely be done.'

Content: Whenever you say anything, your kid is just waiting to say 'No'. Saying 'No' to you creates a deep courage and strength in him. It makes him feel that he is a man; now he is on his own. We need to understand that we also said 'No' to our elders. Later on in the old age because you started having the problem of selective amnesia or because you started remembering only the incidents in which you said 'Yes' you forget thousands of incidents in which you said 'No' to your elders. Be very clear, they are doing the same thing that you did. Only life can teach them.

Page 67

Content: There are so many people who are married. They come to me and they tell me, 'Master, before marriage if I had met you, I would never have gotten married, I would have been with you and I would have dedicated my whole life for spirituality.'

Content: I tell them that marriage is like a roller coaster. Whoever is sitting inside wants to jump outside. Whoever is outside always wants to sit inside at least once. All the people who are outside are having deep interest and excitement thinking, 'Why not try once? Why not experience once?' And those inside just want to jump out.

Content: So be very clear, only life can teach anyone. You cannot teach. You can neither teach nor help your kids unless they want the help. If you force something on them, if you force rules and regulations on them, they may learn one thing - how to cheat you, that's all. If you start forcing they will listen to the same words without respect. That's all, that's is the whole life.

Content: Let us see the reality; let us come to a practical situation. I am not ready to give any idealistic solution. Please understand: I don't want any big, big theories. I can give some ideas - oh, take him to some temple, take him to some God, take him to some guru; nothing will come out of it. I tell you, nothing will happen.

Page 68

Content: And especially these days kids have become so intelligent. See, the software is getting updated, so intelligence is getting updated. Nothing can be done about it. In those days it was specialization; so elders were intelligent. These days it is updating; so next generation is going to be intelligent.

Content: Be very clear, those days lifestyle was specialization. Naturally elders were more intelligent. These days life is based on updating. Naturally youngsters will be intelligent. All you need is to drop your ego and respect youngsters. That's the only thing that can be done. Nothing else can be done because fortunately or unfortunately the whole social setup has turned from specialization to updating. So be ready to respect the next generation.

Content: Q: Master, you were talking about the concept - we are not the body, we are not the mind, we are not the ego. But in the process, what are we? Because you also talked about dropping the ego, and then about our functioning independent of the ego. But if the 'I' itself is not the element of the ego and even if we drop the ego and we say, 'Now I am not the ego but I am functioning,' is that also not an aspect of the ego itself? Then who am I? Am I just the thought? Am I the consciousness or what am I?

Content: A: Beautiful questions. But I really suspect if you need answers. Please understand, people who need answers will put only one question. A Person who puts several questions continuously needs only experience. He cannot be given answers.

Page 69

Content: First, you assumed so many things and you say, 'If I drop the ego and start saying that I am living without ego, is it not ego.' The moment you drop the ego you will not say I am living without ego.

Content: Somebody asked a Zen master, 'Master, how will I come to know whether I am enlightened or not?' Master says, 'If you are enlightened, this very doubt will disappear. As long as you have the doubt whether I am enlightened or not, you are not enlightened.'

Content: He says beautifully that the moment a person becomes enlightened, the doubt whether I am enlightened or not, will disappear. Same way, the thought that I am enlightened will also disappear. He will neither have the doubt whether he is enlightened or not nor he will have the ego that he is enlightened. Both will not be there.

Content: So in the hypothetical question, 'If I drop my ego and I start saying I am living without ego, is it not one more ego?' the very hypothesis is wrong. If you drop your ego, you will not say you are living without ego - first thing.

Content: Next thing, you are asking, 'If I am not body, mind or ego who am I?'

Page 70

Content: You need to ask that yourself, not me. I asked, and I found the answer. I am asking you to ask yourself. I am not here to answer your question. I am here to question your answers. You have so many answers to the question, who am I? You have the answer, 'I am the body, I am the mind, I am the ego.' So I am questioning all your answers. No, you are not body, you are not the mind, and you are not the ego.

Content: I will leave you alone with your question. When I leave you alone with your question, your question will become quest. And that quest will naturally make you experience the truth.

Content: Please do not ask the questions to me. Ask the questions to your self. I am not actually answering your question. I am questioning your answers, which you have already got. So this question, 'Who am I?' should be asked not to me; it should be asked to you. And now, when you do this meditation, you will have deeper clarity about what I am saying, how I am saying that you are not the ego and you are not the being as you think.

Content: Q: Master, you explained very beautifully today. Are tomorrow and day after tomorrow's classes really necessary?

Content: A: That's nice. I tell you one thing: If you have understood you don't need tomorrow and day after tomorrow's classes. If you have not understood, again you don't need tomorrow and day after tomorrow's classes. If you feel, I am

Page 71

Content: almost catching, I think I should listen little more, then you need tomorrow and day after tomorrow’s classes.

Content: So be very clear, if you have really understood, you don’t need tomorrow and day after tomorrow’s discourses. And I tell you, if you really understood, not just tomorrow or day after tomorrow, you cannot forget me at any time. You’ll simply start living with me. I am not talking about physical level - I am talking about conscious level. If you understood this one session, what I talked about in this one class, not only you don’t need tomorrow or day after tomorrow’s class, your whole life you will start radiating these teachings. So if you have understood clearly you don’t need anymore. And if you have not understood completely, again you don’t need more. If you feel, ‘I understood some things; I think I need some more things,’ then you are welcome tomorrow.

Content: Q: Master, namaste…

Content: A: I can’t hear you; your mike is not on. Actually, only a person who is a little loud can be heard. A small story:

Content: One young artist gets a role in a drama. And he rushes to the house with tremendous excitement and tells his mother, ‘Mother, mother, I got a beautiful role in the drama.’ Mother asks, ‘What role?’ He says, ‘I got a husband’s role.’ Mother immediately says, ‘You’ve not got a speaking part!’ Only if you are loud, we can hear you. So please be little loud.

Page 72

Content: Q: You've been talking about purposelessness; life must be purposeless. Having been born in this world, we have to grow, we have to have some commitments and when the time comes we have to end our lives also. Given this situation, there is a feeling that we have to cultivate that which is purposelessness. But then we have some commitments in life, we have some goals in our practical day-to-day lives. How are we to compromise this? How do we understand this?

Content: A: First thing, I am not asking you to cultivate the feeling of purposelessness, because it is the pure truth. You don't need to cultivate it; it is the simple truth. You understand the purposelessness. The attitude of purposelessness need not be cultivated in you. It's a simple truth; all you need is to understand.

Content: Whether you believe it or not your life is not under your control, am I right? Whether you believe it or not, you will not know when the end will come, am I right? Are you sure you will reach the house safely? At least I am not sure. I don't know about you, I am not sure whether I will reach the ashram safely in this Bangalore traffic.

Content: Whether you understand it or not, accept it or not, believe it or not this is the truth. I am opening the truth, which is the ultimate truth. Let the truth take its own course. Why should you be so afraid? Why are you afraid to enter into the truth, to let the truth penetrate you? Let it work. See, before entering into the

Page 73

Content: truth itself you are afraid - 'No, no, no this is there in my life, that is there in my life. If I enter into the truth, what will happen to this? what will happen to that?'

Content: The small wave is afraid, what will happen to it if it drops into the ocean; what will happen to the pebbles, which it collected. And when the wave is rising, it is tells the next wave, 'You are my wife, please stand here; you are my son, please stand here; you are my daughter, please stand here; you are my son, please stand here. I have a commitment towards all of you. I have to do this, I have to do that.' And suddenly the wave disappears. Not only that wave, but all the other waves also disappear into the ocean.

Content: What I am saying is the truth. If you can enter into the truth with courage, you will be a much better husband, much better father and much better family person. But only after entering into it, each one of you will be able to understand. Now the question that you are asking is a hypothetical question just like how the blind person is asking, 'I understand that I will get my eyesight; but how will I walk without my stick?' I tell you, if you understand the beauty of purposelessness without this fear, you will be able to do your commitments more beautifully.

Content: The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam is the reigning spiritual emperor of 17 ancient traditional Hindu kingdoms and the reviver of the most ancient, most peaceful, still living and long-lasting demonstrable system that shows the possibility of peaceful co-existence amongst people. Following the coronation to establish KAILASA worldwide at the age of 16, for the past 27 years, The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam, as the face of the unified Hindus, has been single-handedly, tirelessly inspiring the dispossessed Hindu Diaspora to reclaim their Hindu centric freedom and stand unified for the centuries-old Hindu genocide.

Content: The 1008th living incarnation of Paramaśiva, The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam stands as the unifying force for the 2 billion born and practicing Hindu diaspora worldwide and established the Hindu State, KAILASA for the persecuted Hindus in over 100 countries.

Content: The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam has made resolute efforts towards recognizing and legitimizing the Hindu genocide which has been receiving scant consideration by global leaders and international bodies, The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam founded KAILASA Uniting Nations. For the past 27 years, this international body has been responsible in building relations, bridging dialogs, inspiring leaders, uniting nations towards acknowledging the Hindu policies which are universal, life positive as referenced from the ancient text of Hinduism. This is the ‘ahimsa’ (non-violent) way of bringing acknowledgment to the horrors of the Hindu genocide, the untold facts of the darkest act of mankind on Earth to the most contributing civilization - KAILASA.

Content: KAILASA is an apolitical nation whose vision is enlightened living for all. Towards this goal, KAILASA is the only Hindu nation on planet Earth today bringing legitimacy to the principles of Hinduism. Social principles, economic principles, judicial principles, Hindu medical principles, and Hindu economic principles. KAILASA is The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam’s response to humanity’s global problems of poverty, hunger, illiteracy, disease, violence and global warming and the continuing ethnocide and genocide of over 80 million Hindus worldwide since 7 centuries.

Content: Over the last 50 years, the effects of meditation and its significant impact on stress, crime rates, violence, political decision making and even war in local and global consciousness is well established. Unfortunately, in the last two hundred years, forcibly we are made to believe Hinduism is a functional principle only for enlightenment and spirituality. It is absolutely dysfunctional for the political, social, economical system. Making Hindu family structure, Hindu social structure dysfunctional is the greatest crime done against humanity.

Today Hindu temples remain in a few countries but the Hindus who worshiped in them have been ethnically cleansed.

Content: The revival of Hinduism through the civilizational nation of KAILASA globally irked vested interests of atheistic terrorist militant elements, caste supremacist terrorists and other anti-Hindu forces who executed a massive persecution and genocide on SPH and His followers on 2 March 2010 that continued for the next whole decade and comprised of over 70 assassination attempts, over 250 sexual assaults on SPH and his monks and disciples, lawfare of 120 false cases over 10 years, massive hate propaganda in electronic media of over 14,000 hours and print media of over 25,000 articles in 5 years, destruction of heritage properties worth over 27 million USD, and the continuing ethnocide and genocide of over 80 million Hindus worldwide since 7 centuries.
