WHAT DON MINIHANE SAYS OF HIS
MEDITATIONAL AND REIKI EXPERIENCES ON THE JANUARY 2007 COURSE
PART TWO!!
DON
MEDITATING AFTER A FEW DAYS ON THE COURSE -
STUDENT FROM
THE 2007 JANUARY ENERGY ENHANCEMENT COURSE
ME
My name Is Don Minihane and I live in South East Kent England
and I want to share with you the experiences I have had on the E E course here
in Rosario Argentina with Satchi and Devi on the four week course which I
started on the 7-1-07.
I need to make this clear from the outset. I have no vested
interest in giving this testament nor have I been badgered into writing this nor
have I received any payment for it. I am doing this because I am aware that
those of you that take the time to read this will instinctively know the truths
written within it. I do not like bullshit nor have I any desire to add to the
already gigantic mountain of bullshit that we are expected to swallow on a
regular basis from so called experts and masters on these matters like the ones
all over the place giving Reiki initiations in one go and masters in a few days.
If you consider carefully that Dr Usui was a devout Buddhist
dedicated to meditation, learning and teaching and spent some 21 years in a Zen
Buddhist Monastery, meditating every day with the Monks, in pursuit of the truth
before he rediscovered Reiki, then you know that there is a lot of bullshit
going on and these people are doing terrible damage to the beauty and the
dedication of a master like Dr Usui.
If that strikes a chord please read on.
First a little background on me to give you an idea as to
where I am coming from and why I am here in the first place. I am 46 years old
married for 25 years with two grown children and have recently become a
grandfather to a beautiful boy.
I have had an interest in martial arts since I was a very
young lad and have indulged in several different styles over many years. I have
also had an on and off interest in Chi Kung and have practiced the art of chi
breathing now for a number of years without much success in the movement of
energy throughout the body system.
I also have an interest in Reiki and have already been
attuned in level one and two in the Usui Reiki system in England by a decent
honest and spiritual Reiki master seven years ago. I practice on friends and
family and on anyone that asks me for a treatment. I have had some wonderful and
humbling experiences while doing Reiki however I do not ask for or make money
from the treatments I give. I have a small business that makes me my money.
My Life
I have also had several experiences in my life that are not
common to most people which defied explanation throughout my life and no matter
who I asked about these experiences I was never supplied with a satisfactory
answer to any of it that made sense to me. These experiences were of a very
frightening and disturbing nature and not of this world. At this point all I am
willing to say is that the level of fear I experienced was light years beyond
the fear of loosing your physical life here on this plane. These attacks began
when I was a very small child and continued into my adult life and those closest
to me were also targeted. You can believe me when I tell you that I do not
frighten easily and am made of sturdy stuff and have survived against incredible
odds with my physical and mental abilities intact. I can assure you that there
is far more to this existence than even I suspected and this physical life
experience here is only the tip of the iceberg and the rest is the best kept
secret in the entire universe while at the same time common knowledge to those
who are in the know. It was while searching for the answers to my many difficult
and seemingly crazy questions that I came upon Satchi and Devi.
SATCHIDANAND
AND ENERGY ENHANCEMENT
I first contacted Satchi just over one year ago and hit him
immediately with a big question that I knew would either get a real answer or a
load of waffle or bull shit like all my previous attempts over the years or no
reply at all as they dived for cover. I had by now got most of the bullshit
answers you could possibly get so I became expert in smelling shit at every
corner and knew exactly what to ask to eliminate the idiots and charlatans of
this world. At this point I was expecting more of the same.
Satchi wrote back to me and the answer he gave me was the
first real and tangible result I got in over 35 years of searching. I was so
shocked that it took me a long time to assimilate the answer as the implications
were so profound it shook me to the very foundations of my existence and I knew
for the first time in my life that what I was experiencing was real as he
described in detail what I knew, citing his own experiences as example. It would
appear that I had found someone who really knew what they were talking about.
Over the following months I tested him again with yet more of
my questions and got a proper answer every time, answers that you instinctively
know to be true and correct. Bit by bit my life began to make sense and the
reasons for my rather unique experiences became clear to me. I began to
understand this life of mine and resolved to go and see this man and his amazing
wife Devi to undergo the Energy Enhancement course that you are looking at so I
flew half way around the world to spend a month in the home of these very
special people who welcomed me with open arms and much warmth even though I
arrived at their door at 3am in the morning.
MY ENERGY ENHANCEMENT
COURSE IN ARGENTINA JAN 2007
Now for what happened in my first weeks here in Rosario.
On the first day of the course I worked with Devi and we did
some grounding of the negative energies within me and as we rotated
anticlockwise I noticed the energy in the room was changing and within a few
minutes it began to rain energy all over us. I had this experience before while
doing a Reiki session but nothing like this; this was like an energy storm in
the room, absolutely amazing. Day one was off to a flying start, literally. That
evening Satchi began the first initiation in EE and showed me how to sit
correctly and explained why, aligning me with the energies of this beautiful
planet we inhabit. The experience was profound and I understood for the first
time where I was and more importantly why I was here.
At the point of writing this I am now in the second week of
the course with two and a half weeks still to go. I feel like I am in a time
warp so much has happened. On day four of the course I was sitting meditating
trying to circulate the energy up the spine and over the head and down the front
when I started to vibrate at a tremendous pace. I honestly thought, any minute
now and I am going to take off across the floor or shoot up into the ceiling
such was the force of the energy trying to get through the blockages in my
spine. I started to experiment with this, lean ever so slightly forward,
vibration stops, get back into right angle with the ground, vibration starts
again. I was vibrating like a pneumatic drill, lean forward it stops get in the
upright position off we go again. I had read about this in books by Mantak Chia
in the teaching of Chi Gung but was never able to get anywhere and here I am in
day four vibrating like a Kundalini flying yogi, far out. I feel like I have
been living in ignorance my whole life. The blockage in my spine was very strong
and Satchi said don’t worry we will soon get rid of that and you know what? I
have no reason to doubt him. He said that will be number one of many blockages
implanted in my energy body over many lifetimes. There is much work to be done
but it will be done he assured me. He was right.
On day five we learned a technique for spotting food and
drink with pesticides in it and Satchi and Devi told us about the way pesticides
react with the body making us tired and energy less slowly killing us off. This
was quickly brought home to me when I later ate some fruit that had been
contaminated with pesticides and felt totally drained of energy afterwards. I
had to go and lie down and promptly fell asleep for two hours. The effect of the
pesticides in the food staggered me and made me realise that we go through our
lives trusting these sons of bitches that make vast fortunes feeding us mass
produced crap. In reality what is happening is we get used to the shit in the
food and the body does its level best to try to compensate. They are giving all
of us the death of a thousand cuts. No wonder we get cancers and every other god
forsaken disease on the planet. O what it is to be waking up.
REIKI
ATTUNEMENTS
I also had my first re initiation to Reiki today from Devi,
one of four in level one. Devi told me that there has to be four
initiations in level one to make sure that the attunements are solid and will
remain with me. This is for all you people that have had Reiki attunements or are
thinking about it. Do not throw away your money and energy on garbage one day
affairs with a touch on the body with your eyes tightly shut wondering what is
going on and feeling little or nothing, the placebo effect I call it. I am
paying for it so it must be happening. The lead in to the initiation was very
intense, lots of meditation, chanting sutras and Energy Enhancement techniques
to make one ready for this most wonderful of gifts and when it came it was most
profound A real and tangible experience. Devi is one powerful woman and is
immersed in respect for what she does. Defiantly no bullshit here, just pure
unadulterated energy, blesses you Devi, it’s your birthday today and you have my
complete respect and trust, what a woman. Happy birthday Devi may the cosmos
smile on you forever.
PAST
LIFETIMES
At this point I have to deviate slightly so you can share
with me something that happened last night that has blown me away and here I am
hoping that you will respect whole heartily this most personal and staggering
experience which I am about to tell you.
Please feel free to comment on this or recount any of your
own similar experiences.
I have been awake most of the night wondering if I should
write about this or not and I have come to the decision that it should be told
because it must be told. It has huge implications for anyone wondering what is
really going on in this existence of ours.
If you have any doubts about the authenticity of this Energy
Enhancement course then this will set your minds straight and that’s for sure.
To fully appreciate the implications of this account I am
going to have to give you more private information about my life so you can see
how things pan out over eons and multiple lifetimes and why and how things
happen.
I was born in Highgate in London in 1960 the year of the rat,
of Irish and Scottish decent; mother Irish and father Scottish neither of which
I have ever seen. I was born out of wedlock so I was considered a bastard and
was given up to the catholic nuns in London and was removed from my birth
country to a catholic adoption home in Ireland to be adopted in to a nice
catholic family. I was just one year old. This was a horrifying experience as I
spent the first ten years of my childhood being kept and treated as an animal
being severely abused both mentally and physically, battered like a rag doll
which left me with many physical scars to this present day, specifically so, to
the base chakra the crown chakra and the throat chakra. I looked like a famine
victim. Despite the horror and against all odds I survived and retained most of
my grip on my mental and physical health and I managed to escape at the age of
twelve with the help of a kind local farmer who gave me shelter protection and a
home for a number of years. I then made my way alone in the world and have never
seen a single blood relative in my entire life to date.
I arrived here in Rosario and met the other course members
and one, a lady of Irish decent, whose family came here in 1850, three years
after the great famine in Ireland seemed familiar to me and she also looked me
up and down and I could see there was some kind of connection here. She was
roughly the same height and when younger would have had the same kind of hair
and I noticed that her hands were the same size as mine. She is twelve years
older than me and also born in the year of the rat. I dismissed it as nothing as
you do.
Then two nights ago we were all meditating with Satchi and
Devi looking for energy blockages in ourselves and I had a realisation of how
traumatised I was as a baby and began to feel a great sadness so began to weep a
bit and this woman came to my assistance and helped me through it giving me this
love I have not experienced before stroking my head and treating me like a small
child and I let her do it because it seemed like the most natural thing in the
world to do. I didn’t feel embarrassed about it because it felt so right in its
place. She has only a few words of English and I have only a few words of
Spanish but it didn’t seem to matter. There was no need for communication, and
then later on she said that I felt like her son and we laughed and joked that
she could adopt me.
Then last night we were all with Satchi and Devi again,
meditating, looking for energy blockage in ourselves and specifically so in
areas that were hurting or where we had hurt ourselves in the past or where we
were hurt by others and this lady had decided to deal with a pain in her abdomen
she felt from time to time. We were using the seven step technique given by
Satchi to ground and destroy the energy blockages which is a very effective and
powerful way of ridding oneself of the blockage. After we do the exercise Satchi
gets everyone to recount the experience and this lady who is very psychic and
has great visionary ability began to describe what happened. She said that she
found herself back some 400 years in Ireland as a very young and beautiful girl
with long blond hair who painted played the harp and was riding and hunting.
I had brought with me from England a set of water colour
pencils given to me by my wife to doodle with. As I don’t paint I had given them
to this lady as a present on the second day of knowing her.
She had a very lovely young suitor whom she was going to
marry and was totally in love with this man. Then she said there was another
powerful man a provincial governor who wanted also to have her and he had killed
her chosen suitor and had also killed his own wife so he could be free to marry
her, a dowry of 100 head of cattle was paid to her father. Her own father in
this life time was the bastard priest (the words of the man who married her)
who married her off in that time. In effect she was sold and two people were
murdered so this could take place. On her wedding day to this monster she took
the dagger they used for killing the pigs and plunged it into her self and
committed suicide. This was the pain she was feeling in her side. Satchi asked
why this had happened and to go back and find out some more. She went back and
saw an image of me and asked why I was there and was told by the governor that I
was programmed to be her son in that lifetime and her murdered love was to be
the father. Since then she has never had any children in her life for 400 years
and it seems that I have never had a mother in 400 years either. She cried and I
cried and we hugged and cried in each others arms and then we started to laugh
and laugh and cry and laugh and laughed some more and there was such a release
of energy and everything became so clear. I had come 12000 miles around the
world to find the last mother I was supposed to have and Satchi said, O that is
quite normal on Energy Enhancement courses. It happens a lot. It appears we have
healed the ancestral line going back 400 years in one sitting. Now I and this
woman can move on to new families in the next life or maybe if I go for it I
will reach for enlightenment and finish the journey. We were both destroyed by
nasty black people for 400 years who have stayed with us and continued to have
their black tentacles rooted in us both for all of this time. Now after this I
asked where this happened and she said in the south west of Ireland. I nearly
fell over I was taken to the south west of Ireland and there I was nearly
destroyed. We looked at the map of Ireland and I asked her where. She pointed to
a place and then I got pictures off the internet and she recognised the little
island in Muckross Lake near Killarney in county Kerry where her love was
murdered and I have married a woman from a few miles from there who is also born
in the year of the rat and we have been there often as a couple. Even our
children have been there. You can look this up for yourselves and view the lake
and the little island and muckross house. What a story and she has never been
anywhere near this place in her life. So you see, nothing is quite what it seems
and we go on and on forever.
DON AND
NORMA, STUDENTS, AT THE START OF THE 2007 JANUARY ENERGY ENHANCEMENT COURSE
After that diversion I have to get back to the course and I
have to say that there is so much happening that you could write a whole book on
the various experiences that have happened in the short three weeks that I have
been here.
LAST
WEEK OF ENERGY ENHANCEMENT REIKI MASTERY OPTION
I am now in the last week of the course and I feel like a
totally different person. I have regained myself and have been given from
nothing having no psychic vision at all at the start of the energy enhancement
course, a clarity of psychic
vision that is breathtaking.
I am totally de-stressed and have expanded in every
way. I feel stronger and fitter and much more mentally agile than I have ever
felt in my life. The fog and confusion of life has gone and I feel that I have
just received the inside information on everything. I am ready for anything and
am wide awake. I am full of the most incredible energy imaginable and have
Energy Enhancement Reiki
that is so powerful it staggers me. I know a thing or two about Reiki and had a
very strong Reiki connection before I got here, now I have a connection that is
beyond description and I have yet to undergo the second initiation this week and
then the masters. I have opted to take this as an extra and for anyone who is
interested, I believe this is beyond anything you will ever experienced
anywhere.
I am now equipped with life tools and healing tools that one
only dreams of and there is nothing out there in the world that will ever faze
me again. I am absolutely delighted that I decided to come here, because this
experience has changed me, for the good of me and for all those that I will
touch when I leave here. I am so excited and can’t wait to start exploring my
new found talents.
One effect of Energy Enhancement that surprised me is other
people’s reaction to me; they are somehow more attracted to me and want a part
of me, especially the girls. Now that is an effect I was not prepared for but I
am not complaining in fact it’s very enjoyable indeed. People recognise that you
have something different and they are naturally attracted to this like bees are
to nice flowers, so guys and girls this is not to be missed, you won’t buy this
kind of attraction in a bottle, or find it behind the wheel of some fancy car
while being covered in expensive clothes and that’s for sure. Energy Enhancement
is a babe magnet, but that’s not what it’s about, on the other hand, if that is
what floats your boat then go for it.
CHI GUNG AND ENERGY
ENHANCEMENT
I wanted to expand more on the Energy Enhancement side of the
course and it is difficult to explain this to anyone who has no knowledge of
energy or how it all works. I have tried to get on with Chi Gung and while I
respect and admire the system of Chi Gung I feel that it is over complicated and
long winded. The microcosmic and macrocosmic orbit is a wonderful internal
exercise and is not to be misunderstood or demeaned in any way but the
techniques of Energy Enhancement like the Supra galactic Orbit supersedes Chi
Gung and leaves it trailing light years behind.
"To expand, I
was sitting in meditation the other night and was happily destroying
blockages in me using the Seven
Step Process of Energy Enhancement taught by Satchi and Devi when
I was staggered by something new. I watched as negative energy transmuted
into white light and travelled down to the centre of the earth then returned
up my spinal column and carried on into outer space to the centre of the
universe and then returned back to me through the crown chakra and down the
front of my body through the throat centre then the heart centre and the
solar plexus, on to the genitals and in to the perineum, through to the
centre of the earth and returned back up my spine and so began this new
orbit of energy.
The effect was
something else; it shot through me at incredible speed. This carried on and
got denser and more powerful as I discharged more of the negative energy
within me. This energy took the form of bands of light that followed each
other in waves travelling at equal distance apart and as I discharged and
transmuted more negative energy the bands got closer together and I found
that I could control the speed at which they travelled through the body.
Satchi calls this orbit the
Supra Galactic Orbit
which travels up the ANTAHKARANA
into the centre of the universe and down through the centre of the earth
passing through the front of the body on the downward sweep and returning up
the spine on the outward sweep. I was complete."
INNER CHILDREN SUB
PERSONALITIES
I want to say something about the inner children in all of us
as this has been the subject of much meditation and discussion on this course. I
want to tell you how tricky and clever these inner children are and the havoc
they cause in our lives. Satchi says they destroy you, lifetime after
lifetime and he is right. I thought I had dealt with much of the inner
children within me as I have had lots of Reiki over the years but Reiki has the
effect of keeping the inner children under control but they still persist and
become experts at hiding within.
I found this out when I went hunting for them.
I used the seven step process of Energy Enhancement to find them and transmute
them into positive inner children. There were hundreds and hundreds of them
collected over every lifetime and all hiding in me and they used every trick in
the book to stay hidden including leading me down roads of fantasy to put me off
finding them. It was quite an eye opener and I have to be on constant alert to
make sure that I am not being used by one of these inner little monsters. If
even one of these inner children escapes it can slowly destroy the good work and
soon will bring you back to the old ways and very quickly you will not be full
of light and heart anymore.
I owe Satchi and Devi a great debt for seeing these inner
children in me and for pointing them out to me. This is work in progress as the
inner children have to be constantly watched and as Satchi says. Do a bit of
weeding in your garden of light every day. I tell you there are a lot of
supposed ways of dealing with the inner children being banded around and
probably they are someway effective, but believe me there is nothing out there
like the process of this energy enhancement, course for both finding them and
transmuting them. Satchi keeps reminding us that only the ego gets hurt and
he is spot on.
REIKI
ATTUNEMENT TWO
Devi gave my first attunement in Reiki two yesterday and I
wanted to share this experience with you. This is one of two attunements I will
have for Reiki two. I will have the second one today.
I had spent the day
preparing for the experience from very early in the morning meditating on the
terrace of the house in total seclusion in beautiful sunshine. (I am so tanned
its disgusting and I am going back to England to the beautiful winter weather. I
am so looking forward to that, not)
Anyway back to the experience. Devi
called me about four o clock as she too had been preparing in meditation. When
Devi began the process of the attunement it started to rain energy almost
immediately and I could see swirls of white and golden energy coming down over
us in like whirlwinds of energy.
The peace and ambience in the in the room was
astonishing and beyond description. I felt blessed and was aware that we were
not alone and had been given help again. I was rooted to the chair for nearly an
hour after the attunement and didn’t move a muscle. It was beautiful and I felt
so privileged to be part of this and to be accepted into Reiki in this beautiful
way. I would like to thank you Devi for this beautiful and profound experience.
I am looking forward to the second attunement today and will let you know how it
went. O yes, I forgot to say that when I point my left hand to the floor and
rotate it in an anti clock wise direction I feel energy powering into the ground
in spirals.

GORAKH NATH
As long as truth is concealed, these tales of awakening won't be stopped
As long as religions persist and prosper, these tales of awakening won't be
stopped.
O people of the mind, you are free to construct your systems
but the very walls will dance, the mad ones won't be stopped.
This tulip and rose, moon and stars -- see them and be silent priest!
this tavern is not closed, this tavern won't be stopped.
Moths will go on becoming candles, burning themselves up laughing, smiling
in the cruel houses of superstition the moths won't be stopped.
This mocking and blaming is nothing, nothing but promises of love
This world is 'Ravished', and it's story won't be stopped.
MIND DOESN'T MOVE, BREATH BECOMES STILL.
And when the precise center is hit then the mind becomes unwavering. It becomes
so unwavering that the breath too stops moving. Then samadhi flowers. There
neither mind is flickering nor breath is moving.
Remember, don't be frightened when samadhi flowers. It happens here everyday.
When some sannyasin experiences samadhi for the first time he becomes
frightened. The fear is this, that the breath stops. He feels as if he is dying.
But this is not death, this is the beginning of a new life.

Dear Satchi
Yes, everything, all the DVD course and Online Course Downloads are here,
all together they arrived, mighty excited i might add and all is downloaded
and well.
I
m
getting stuck straight in, its amazing, because the very first time i got
the sitting position correct. I could feel the energy flowing up my spine
and over my head incredible heat and a real tingling in my face and a
feeling of elation i cant describe and i did this while using sound for each
chakra, when i struck the heart chakra tone my chest just expanded and it
felt like it was being lifted up and the whole room seemed full of energy
and and and what a feeling, phew. It was heaven.
I was sitting still for about an hour and it felt like only a few
minutes i think i just arrived.
I think i now have all the little pieces of my jigsaw, its taken a long time
searching and im also seeing the numerous times when i was shown the
direction but i was unable to see, There seems to be so much that i have
missed and i wonder how come i was this blind for so long.
I wanted to say "Thank You" For your patience, For your time and most of all
for being here on the planet at this time.
May Peace and Love always be your friends.
Don And Anne.
When I came to see
Satchi at the airport for the first time I was struck by his energy but it was
the second time, when he was talking to another student when meeting us off the
train at Figueres that I really started to feel the Buddhafield
of Energy Surrounding him. Suddenly I started yawning like the big healer guy in
"The Green Mile" and then tears started from my eyes and I felt I was getting
rid of a lot of Painful memories from the past. Olympia Panza 2004

THE TAOIST MACROCOSMIC ORBIT
Apparently the name of the
macrocosmic orbit has been usurped by some Taoist masters who teach a subset of
the microcosmic orbit - just in the legs and base chakra - under this name.
The
Energy Enhancement Macrocosmic orbit is
far far
more powerful.
Therefore we have decide to
re-name the Macrocosmic Orbit as the..

ROSHI
HOGEN
As my Master
Roshi Hogen says THE ANTAKARANA IS "The spring at the top of the Mountain."
Illness is caused by a lack of energy.
We can only heal ourselves when we learn to fill ourselves with energy by these
methods.
I was very happy with Zen
Master Hogen. Every Day as soon as I got out of bed, for many years, I would
meditate.
But strangely I found more
and more that I was getting thrown out of bed every morning by him so I could
meditate.
And he was connected to me,
"Can you feel my breeze blowing? Even
from Ten Thousand Miles!"
I had the vision several times
of him polishing my base chakra whilst I was sitting in meditation.
And then, after many years
of work, zazen, meditation, with Zen master Hogen I meditated on the Koan of
Ramana Maharshi, "Who am I"
Immediately I had the experience of
travelling along the Antahkarana out of the body to a place where was all my
past lives hanging in space thousands of them in a neat matrix. I decided to
enter into one of them and saw that past life gaining much experience. I then
decided to go higher. There too I gained much experience.
When I went to Hogen in
Dokusan with this experience, after I told him about the past lives he said, "We
can explore this area of the Astral Plane for 10,000 years and get nowhere!"
Then I told him about going higher and he smiled! And in another space I saw his
aura expanding, gold, and enfolding me in the energy of his love...
After this I was allowed to
find another Master...
SATCHIDANAND MEETS SWAMI SATCHIDANANDA
FOR THE FIRST TIME
So
when a friend asked me if I wanted to go to London to meet Swami Satchidananda I
was hesitant. But they persuaded me to go. So there I was in this big hall.
Arriving late and there was no space for me to sit. So I went and sat on the
floor in meditation posture at the front, just in front of him. And I was not
impressed really by what he was talking about because I was arrogant. You can
hear one of his wonderful talks here
Listen to our free MP3s of Swami Satchidananda
Here!!
But then at the end of the talk he said
lets meditate. And he chanted Om Shanthi and I found myself a hundred meters up
in the air looking down at my body sitting in meditation below.
And I looked up and way above me was
Swami Satchidananda and he was moving his hands saying, "Come on Up! Come on
Up!"
So I thought it might be a good idea to
learn from him.
And although I read his
books now and recommend them to everyone, Integral Yoga, The Yoga Sutras of
Patanjali and The Living Gita, Commentary on the Bhagavad Gita, although the
information in these books are a great gift to humanity, they are poor fare in
comparison to what initially attracted me to him.
And what I got in abundance every time I
met him was Energy and Psychic experience. Visions, telepathy, Initiations on
the Astral Plane all came to me every time I met him and when I went to stay at
the Ashram, 1000 acres in Virginia in America, for three months, the experiences
accelerated every time I meditated. The knowledge that we cannot die, we are all
connected. Satori and the lower levels of Enlightenment.
It took me a
few years after these experiences with Swami Satchidananda to get fully cooked
but my Sat Guru, Satchidananda, student of Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh was with
me at every step.
MANY OF OUR STUDENTS HAVE
RETURNED FOR OUR COURSE IN SPAIN THIS YEAR
WHICH SURELY SAYS SOMETHING
ABOUT ENERGY ENHANCEMENT
These are just a few of the experiences that I have had
since being here. All of my fellow students have had similar and much more
dramatic experiences.
Conclusion
I have been working for over 12 years with many well
known techniques including Transcendental meditation and Kriya Yoga, Subud,
A Course in Mircles and the Sedona Method.
Although I have made good progress with these techniques
I now consider these to have been preliminary techniques to prepare me for
Energy Enhancement.
These methods that I have tried before simply don’t
provide for the systematic identification of Energy Blockages or contain the
Advanced Techniques for the removal of the energy blockages to
enlightenment that Energy Enhancement does.
If you are serious about self-improvement, growth,
change, enlightenment! Then the Energy Enhancement course is for you.
If you are tired of all the many systems of meditation
which leave questions unanswered and where the path to enlightenment is ill
defined and uncertain then don’t delay end the suffering as soon as possible
– learn Energy Enhancement.

HYAKUJO SPENT THE NEXT SIX YEARS IN ATTENDANCE UPON MA TZU. BUT AS TAO-CHIH,
HIS FIRST TEACHER, WAS GROWING OLD, HE WANTED TO RETURN TO LOOK AFTER HIM.
BEFORE HYAKUJO LEFT MA TZU, HE WENT TO PAY HIS FINAL TRIBUTE TO HIM.
SEEING HIM COMING, MA TZU RAISED HIS HORSE WHISK STRAIGHT UP.
(THE HORSE WHISK IS THE "FINGER POINTING AT THE MOON" IT REPRESENTS THE
ANTAHKARANA.)HYAKUJO
ASKED, "ARE YOU IN THE USE OF IT, OR APART FROM THE USE?"
MA TZU HUNG THE HORSE WHISK ON THE CORNER OF HIS CHAIR. AFTER A MINUTE OR SO,
HE ASKED HYAKUJO, "HENCE FORWARD, HOW DO YOU OPEN THOSE TWO LEAVES OF YOUR MOUTH
TO WORK FOR OTHERS?"
AT THIS, HYAKUJO TOOK THE HORSE WHISK AND RAISED IT STRAIGHT UP.
MA TZU SAID, "ARE YOU IN THE USE OF IT, OR APART FROM IT?"
HYAKUJO HUNG THE HORSE WHISK ON THE CORNER OF THE CHAIR.
JUST AT THAT MOMENT, A GREAT ROAR, LIKE HUNDREDS OF THUNDERBOLTS FALLING,
RAINED ON HYAKUJO'S HEAD. MA TZU HAD GIVEN A SHOUT WHICH, IT IS SAID, DEAFENED
OR CREATED SILENCE WITHIN HYAKUJO FOR THREE DAYS.
(THE HORSE WHISK IS THE "FINGER POINTING AT THE MOON" IT IS THE ANTAHKARANA. WE
DO NOT USE IT. WE ARE APART FROM IT AND YET IT IS PART OF OURSELVES. AND WHEN WE
DO NOT USE IT WE ARE THEN THE WITNESS OF ITS USE BY OUR HIGHER SELVES. THEN THE
FLOWERS SHOWER. THE ENERGY OF THE HIGHER SELF RAINS DOWN UPON OUR CROWN CHAKRAS,
AND WE ARE DEAFENED BY THE LIGHTNING BOLT OF ENERGY WHICH ENERGIZES US FROM ON
HIGH. COMMENTARY SATCHIDANAND)

ENERGY ENHANCEMENT - THE INTELLECT
IS GOOD, BUT IT CAN NEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH!!
THE WORLD PROBLEM
My
master, Swami Satchidananda knew all of this. They asked him about the Rulers of
the World. "You are a famous man, you have shaken the hands of all these leaders
and Prime Ministers. Just what do you think of them?"
First of all he said
that it was very dangerous to speak of these people or even mention their names.
For this reason he said
he would tell a story.
If you had an election
for the leader of the council in a town and 75% of the people in this town were
thieves, murderers and their accomplices, just what sort of a
person would they elect?
BUDDHA, CHRIST AND ALL ENLIGHTENED
MASTERS SAY THAT YOU NEED TO LEARN TO WORK WITH MEDITATION TO ATTAIN WISDOM,
INTEGRATION, SOUL FUSION, INTUITION AND LIFE MASTERY.
ENERGY ENHANCEMENT SPEEDS
UP THE PROCESS
ENERGY ENHANCEMENT-
"An example of one of the different
types of Energy Blockage is that they are sometimes created when we do not
get what we expect, or we get what we do not want. They are caused by the
pain of disappointment.
Like when our Mother or Father or Son or Daughter dies. Like when a Lover
leaves us.
This trauma, this pain is so strong that at that moment the mind can not
look at it, so it gets locked away within the body until we get strong
enough to process it.
Then amnesia. We forget the pain fulminating in our bodies. We forget the
poison until, after a while, disease is the result."

Testimonial From Gary Spaid a Wealth Counselor in Vail Valley, Colorado, USA.
So, what did we get? I can say that practicing the technique of Stage 4 of Level
One of Energy Enhancement
meditation with Devi and Satchy gave more power to the top down approach of
Meditation. I had an experience of the MAGIC!! that I so longed for in my
meditation.
Sitting in the flame of Kundalini and seeing my karma burn up was a POWERFUL
experience.

DIE, OH YOGI, DIE! DIE, SWEET IS DYING.
DIE THAT DEATH GORAKH DIED AND SAW.
Man lives in ego. Ego is only a mask, not your being. Ego is not your reality,
it is your acting. Ego is not your truth it is your belief. In a drama, when
someone is cast as Rama he doesn't become Rama, in the same way you are cast
here as something which you are not. A vast drama goes on. When you were born
you didn't come with a name. A name was given to you and you became that name.
You didn't come with any knowledge when you were born. You were taught and made
to study, you went to school, to college. Many thoughts were poured into your
brain. You were thrown into knowledge. Then you began to think it is your
knowledge. Nothing in all this is yours. Everything is borrowed, everything is
stale leftovers. Your name is not yours, your knowledge is not yours. The
intelligence that you think is yours is not yours -- it too has been
constructed from others. If someone says you are very beautiful you fall for it.
And if someone says you are simply incomparable you fall for that. If anyone
praises you, you wrap it up to keep it. If anyone insults you you're hurt.
Your personality is constructed from others opinions. It is the creation of
other hands. Others have brought their brushes and painted you. And if you
accept this as your being you will never be able to know yourself.
Gorakh says, DIE, OH YOGI, DIE! Let this false form die, so you can experience
your real form. Let your mask fall away. It is good if this clothing burns to
ash, so your truth, naked, can manifest in its naturalness. Until the ego is
gone there will be no experience of being. And one who does not experience his
own being, his soul, how will he become conscious of the soul of existence?
Soul is a drop, existence is the ocean. If you experience the drop you begin to
experience the ocean too, because the ocean is hidden in the drop. And what else
is the ocean than combined drops?
You are a ray, god is the sun. And the sun is nothing but the combining of
rays. God is the combination of all of us. God is the totality of all of us. You
go out searching for god but you don't destroy the ego. You have not yet
recognized even this one ray but you go in search of the sun? You will wander
much... Right now you are false, whatever you find will also be false. The
false cannot reach the truth, the false will reach only greater falsities.
The ego is false, a drama. Whatever you do while this drama is running will be
illusory. Make vows, do ascetic practices, control, fast; abandon your home and
go to the jungle. Nothing will come of it. Your ego will receive new ornaments
from all of these. It will become more beautified, better arranged. Your ego
will not die, it will get more life, become more nourished. And until the ego
dies, there is no experience of being. To experience being the ego must be lost.
DIE, OH YOGI, DIE! DIE, SWEET IS DYING.
Gorakh says, the death I am telling you about is very sweet. If one dies this
death, life is nothing but sweetness. Truth is very sweet when you experience
it. It is the taste of nectar. It spreads in the body and heart, you are filled
with it. It begins overflowing. Certainly one who has received the truth is
himself fulfilled. But droplets of fulfillment also start falling on those who
are near him, lightly showering on those who sit in his shelter. But one must
die -- this is the condition.
If the false dies, the truth is born. Truth is present within, but imprisoned
in a wall of lies. Clouds of lies have hidden the sun of truth. It has not been
destroyed. What lie can destroy the truth? It is not lost either, it has been
forgotten. It is like a veil over someone's face, the face is not destroyed, it
is veiled, it is simply not visible.
We have hidden our being behind the veil of ego. People think there is a veil
covering the mystery of existence. They are wrong. The veil is on your eyes. The
veil is covering you, existence is completely unveiled. Existence is naked all
around you but you need eyes to see it.
Today's sutra is about how this sweet death happens. What is the process? What
is its essential discipline? ... sutras about this. How can we die? What is
Gorakh's death like? DIE THAT DEATH...
Everyone dies. But there are differences in dying. You will die, Buddha also
dies, but there is a difference between your dying and Buddha's. You will die
only from the body and save your ego, your lie, taking it with you -- it will
adorn your mind like a treasure. Your ego will enter a new womb. You will die,
your mind will not die. And nothing changes until the mind dies. Masks change,
houses change but the journey is the same, just going round and round like an
old ox in a grist mill. You have died many times, and you have been born again
many times. Hardly have you died when you start being born again.
The ego hides all your diseases inside itself, enters a new womb, and starts
taking a new body. But the desires are old, the diseases are old, the miseries
are old, the ruts are old. You move ahead, get tired again, fall again, die
again, this has happened many times. Buddha also dies, but there is a difference
between his dying and your dying. Your ego does not die, it only abandons the
body. He dissolves his ego, burns up his ego. Before the body is abandoned he
abandons his ego. One who dies before dying, experiences the ultimate life. Then
he has no need to come back again, because the very thread that used to pull him
back has died.
Being has no birth, no death. The ego is born, only the ego dies. And one who
is released from ego is eternal. Then he doesn't die, he isn't born. One living,
changeless, beyond time. Then you are as big as the sky. This is your nature.
DIE THAT DEATH GORAKH DIED AND SAW.
This is why he says, don't think that I am talking about ordinary dying.
Everyone dies ordinary deaths: birds and animals die, plants die, mountains die.
Gorakh is not talking about this death, he is talking about a special death --
die in samadhi, die in meditation. Let the ego go and dissolve into meditation.
As long as the ego exists one cannot dissolve in meditation.
What is the secret of the ego's living? If this is understood, then the art of
its dying will also be understood. The ego lives in extremes. Extremes are the
life force of the ego. Perhaps you have never considered it, thought it over,
looked at it with awareness that the abode of the ego is in extremes. More,
more, more... this is the ego's way of life. Ten thousand rupees should become
one hundred thousand, one hundred thousand should become one million. More,
more, more... ego lives in this insanity. The ego lives in extremes. And the
extreme can be of anything, whether it's money or knowledge, power or
renunciation -- but more.
One who has done a thirty day fast thinks next time he will do a forty day
fast. One who has fasted forty days thinks next time he will fast fifty days.
What is the difference? One who has forty million rupees thinks it should become
fifty million. What is the difference? One who has started eating only twice a
day instead of three times, thinks when should I begin eating only once? One who
eats only once thinks, how can I be finished with eating even once?
A youth was brought to me. He wanted to know how he could live only on water.
He didn't want to take anything else, because anything else is indulgence. How
to live only on water? He had withered. He had come to India from America in
search of someone to tell him the secret of living on water. I said, "If I tell
you the secret how to live on water will you be satisfied?"
He closed his eyes and thought. He was a thoughtful youth. He kept on sitting
for about half an hour. Then he said, "No, then I would ask how can one live on
air." Only on air, why even this nuisance of water?
Such is the desire of the mind, the running of the ego -- for more. What
direction you run makes no difference. The ego lives in extremes, whether it is
the extreme of money or renunciation, the extreme of indulgence or yoga. Stop in
the middle and the ego will die. This is why Buddha calls his path majjhim
nikaya, the middle path, exactly in the center.
A youth, Prince Shrona, was initiated by Buddha. The people in the capital
could not believe it. No one had ever imagined that Shrona would become a
bhikkhu, a monk. Buddha's monks could not believe it either, their eyes were
popping out when Shrona came and fell at Buddha's feet and said, "Initiate me,
make me a bhikkhu."
Shrona was an emperor, and a famous emperor. He was famous for indulgence. His
royal palace had the most beautiful women of that era. His palace had the finest
wines, gathered from every corner of the world. Celebration went on all night
long, he slept all day. He was so drowned in indulgence that no one had ever
thought he could imagine becoming a sannyasin. When he climbed the steps he
didn't have railings put up, but had naked women stand there. He would climb the
stairs putting his hand on their shoulders. He made his house into a heaven. His
palace was such that gods in heaven would be jealous.
The bhikkhus asked Buddha, "We can't believe it, Shrona being initiated!"
Buddha said, "Whether you believe it or not, I knew he was going to take
sannyas. To tell you the truth it is for him that I came to the capital today.
What goes to one extreme will go to the other extreme too. Indulgence is one
extreme, he did that completely. Now there is no way to move further there, no
way to satisfy the ego. He has whatever is possible in that world. Now a wall
has come in front of the ego, where can the ego go now? The ego demands more.
Now there isn't any more, so the ego must return, must go back in the opposite
direction. When the pendulum of a clock goes all the way to the right, it must
return towards the left. Then it goes all the way to the left and has to return
again to the right. When the pendulum of a clock is going to the left, remember
that it is gathering momentum to go to the right. And when it is going to the
right it is gathering momentum to go to the left. One who has a subtle vision
will be able to see this. One who goes into extreme indulgence will one day go
into extreme yoga.
Buddha said, "Wait a few days, you will see the truth of what I am saying."
And people saw. The other bhikkhus walked on a well paved road, but Shrona
walked through thorns and brush, his feet became drenched in blood. When the sun
was hot the other bhikkhus sat in the shade of the trees. Shrona would stand in
the sun. The other bhikkhus wore clothes, he used only a loin cloth. And it
seemed as if he was eager to drop the loin cloth too. Then one day he did drop
it. The other bhikkhus ate once a day, Shrona ate only once in two days. The
other bhikkhus ate sitting down. Shrona ate standing up. The other bhikkhus kept
a bowl, Shrona didn't keep even a bowl, only his hand... he ate only the food
that fit in his hand. His beautiful body shrivelled. Previously people used to
come from miles around to see his body. His face had been very charming,
immensely beautiful. After he had been a bhikkhu for three months anyone who saw
him would not recall that this was Emperor Shrona. His feet became blistered,
his body became black, he shrivelled and became just bones. And he went on
disciplining himself.
Buddha said, "Do you see bhikkhus, I had told you that what goes to one
extreme, will go to the other extreme! It is difficult to stop in the middle,
because the middle is the death of the ego."
Then Shrona stopped eating. Then he stopped taking water. He continued from one
extreme to another. It seemed he would be a guest on this earth only two or
three more days, then die. This is when Buddha went to his door, to the tree
under which he had built a hut to rest in. He was lying down. Buddha said to
him, "Shrona, I have come to ask you something. I have heard that when you were
an emperor you had a passion for playing the veena, and that you were very
skilled at playing it, that you took great interest in the veena. I have come to
ask you a question: when the strings of the veena are very loose, will music
arise or not?"
Shrona said, "What are you talking about? You know it well, if the strings are
very loose music cannot arise, they cannot even sound a twang."
Buddha said, "Then I ask you this: if the strings are tightened too much will
music arise or not?"
Shrona said, "If they are tightened too much the strings will snap, music will
not arise, only the sound of snapping strings will arise. How can music arise
from the sound of an instrument breaking?"
Then Buddha said, "I have come to remind you. Just as you have experienced the
veena, I experience the veena of life. I say unto you, if the strings of life
are very tight music does not arise, and if the strings of life are very loose,
again music does not arise. The strings need to be in the middle Shrona, neither
too tight nor too loose. The greatest skill of a musician is in bringing the
strings exactly to the middle, this is what is meant by tuning an instrument."
This is why when you see Indian classical music, it takes half an hour or an
hour to tune the instruments. Tuning instruments is a great art. To bring the
strings to that middle point where it cannot be said that they are too loose or
too tight, one needs great skill, a very sensitive ear. Only a connoisseur of
music is able to tune.
"The veena of life is exactly the same," Buddha said, "It is enough Shrona,
wake up now. I was waiting to let you come to the extreme. At first your strings
were very loose, now you have tightened them too much. Music didn't happen then,
nor does it happen now: are you experiencing samadhi? What is all this that you
are doing? Previously you stuffed yourself, now you are fasting to death.
Previously you never went barefoot, if you went anywhere the road was covered
with velvet. And now if the path is good you will not move on it. You move in
the brush, in the thorns, on rough, rugged paths. Perhaps previously you had
never drunk water but only wine. Now you are afraid to drink even water! Now you
want to avoid water too. Previously at your house incomparable meat dishes were
prepared, now you are not ready even to eat dry bread. See how you have moved
from one extreme to the other? That extreme was unmusical, this too is
unmusical. I call out to you: Now is the time, come to the middle."
Tears began to flow from Shrona's eyes. He became alert. He saw his situation.
Today's sutras are sutras for bringing the strings of the veena to the middle.
And as soon as someone comes to the middle, the ego dies -- it cannot live.
The ego is a disease, the ego can exist only if your mind is sick. The life of
the ego comes out of your being sick, and extremes are the secret of your being
sick.
I am also saying to my sannyasins, I give you the lesson of the veena strings
of life -- the middle. Be in the world as if you are not in the world. The
world will not control you, nor is there any need to renounce it and escape.
Neither become indulgent nor a yogi, stay in the middle. Don't run after money,
nor renounce money and run away, stop in the middle, exactly in the middle,
where there are no extremes. There you will find music resounding! The veena
comes to life. The unstruck sound starts echoing.
DON'T SPEAK TOO EAGERLY, DON'T WALK WITH A STRUT, PLACE YOUR FEET WITH CARE.
DON'T SPEAK TOO EAGERLY...
All those who have written commentaries and annotations for this sutra give it
the meaning: don't speak without thinking. That meaning does not seem right to
me. Linguistically it is correct: you should not immediately speak, when someone
says something you shouldn't answer abruptly, you should think it over then
answer. Linguistically the meaning is right, but existentially the meaning is
not right. Replying after thinking about it means that the answer will not be
spontaneous, it will be thought out -- in the next line Gorakh says:
GORAKH RAJA SAYS, DON'T BE STIFF, LIVE SPONTANEOUSLY.
Their interpretation does not fit with living spontaneously. Living would
become very unspontaneous. Then the answer you give would be thought out and
arranged, not spontaneous.
A spontaneous reply, spontaneous speech is something entirely different. It is
not related to thinking. Whenever you think it over your answer becomes
unspontaneous. Someone asks something, before answering you examine everything:
what you should say, what you shouldn't say; what will make a good impression,
what will make a bad impression; who will gain from it, who will be harmed by
it. If you speak after thinking over and calculating all this your expression
will no longer have spontaneity. Your expression will become false. Spontaneous
expression comes from no-thought.
DON'T SPEAK TOO EAGERLY...
Others say this means to speak thoughtfully. And I say it means speak from
no-thought, speak wakefully. To speak abruptly indicates unconsciousness. Stay
aware inside, let the lamp of awareness keep burning, let your attention be
alert. Don't speak thoughtfully, speak from no-thought.
Note these two expressions -- speak 'thoughtlessly' and speak from
'no-thought.' Thoughtlessly speaking means saying whatever comes into your mouth
and repenting afterwards.
I was a guest one night at a friend's house. Anand Swami an old disciple of
Mahatma Gandhi was also a guest at the house. We were in the same room in the
evening. Everyone in the house gathered. A conversation started. I asked Anand
Swami what had impressed him about Mahatma Gandhi, because he had dedicated his
whole life to Gandhi. He said, "The first impression Gandhi made on me was when
Gandhi came to India from Africa. He gave a statement to the press in Ahmedabad.
I was working as a newspaper reporter, a journalist. In his statement he said
some vulgar words against the English. I took the vulgar words out of his
statement and the report that was given in the newspapers contained no swear
words at all. The next day Gandhi called for me, slapped me on the back and
said, 'Well done. This is how reporting should be. You did well to remove the
vulgar words.'
"By slapping me on the back this way," Anand Swami told me, "Gandhi won me
over."
I told him, "This is all backwards. Did you try another experiment to see if
Gandhi didn't use vulgar words and you added them to his statement, whether or
not he would slap your back even then? That would be something!
"It means that Gandhi spoke too eagerly. DON'T SPEAK TOO EAGERLY... It was
spoken in eagerness, in excitement, with zeal. It was spoken in the flow of his
speech. Then afterwards he must have regretted it. He must have thought
retrospectively that the vulgar words I spoke, the swearing I used, should not
have happened. They are not appropriate for a Mahatma. He must have regretted.
Then you took out the vulgar words. You protected Gandhi's ego, so he slapped
your back. In this way your ego was fed: 'He slapped my back. I am quite some
journalist, a great journalist.' Still the statement that was published was
false. And if Gandhi were a lover of truth, he should have said to you to
publish the statement exactly as he had said it. When I have said it why make
changes before publishing? Gandhi was not interested in truth. Gandhi's talk
about truth has become worthless. He patronized a lie. What was not said was
published, what was said was not published. This is giving protection to a lie.
You protected his ego; he seduced your ego. This is how you supported each
other."
I told Anand Swami, "If there are swear words in my statements they should be
published, because when I have said it, I have said it. And if later I find out
that I didn't want to say it, then it means that at the time of speaking I was
was not in my senses, I was unconscious."
Speaking has its own intoxication. Many times you will say something that you
didn't want to say. But it is not a question of whether you wanted to or not.
You said it. It was lying there somewhere in your unconscious.
"The statement that you published, Anand Swami," I said to him, "gave shelter
to a lie. Now for centuries it will be said that Gandhi never swore. You will be
responsible for it. You were to publish just what you had written down, just
what was said -- just like it was. If you are to help Gandhi change then going
back and correcting will not be needed. He should speak with discrimination. He
should speak with awareness. Gandhi spoke thoughtlessly, understanding came only
later. He must have thought, 'What have I said?' He must have looked back, he
must have felt the consequences could be bad. It would be good if somehow these
words could be taken back."
It happens every day. One day a political leader says something and the next
day he refutes it -- "No, that's not what I said, or that's not what I meant,
or the meaning has been distorted, or it was just an off the cuff remarks and he
back's out.
It happens every day, you see it daily in the papers. It is a surprising thing.
He remembers afterwards because when he is considering, measuring its effect he
finds that it would have been better if it were never said, saying it can have
such and such a result. He was speaking in such a hurry that there was no chance
to weigh what the consequences might be. It was said hastily in his speech.
Later sitting quietly, he considered and figured out the consequences. What
meanings could be stretched, how many opinions would be influenced to agree, how
many will be influenced against, what will be the consequence in the political
race. The move has been made, what will it mean finally in the whole game of
chess? When he stops and thinks all this the idea of changing it arises, so he
changes it. But this change indicates only one thing -- he spoke
thoughtlessly.
I have heard, in England a student was taking an oral examination in a medical
college. He had passed all the other subjects, the oral exam was the last. If he
passes this he will receive England's highest degree in medicine. Three doctors
were examining him. They asked him, "If you have such and such a patient with
such and such a disease and you are to give these medicines, what amount will
you give?" He quickly said the amount. All three doctors laughed. They said,
"Okay, you can go. The exam is over."
He was just going out the door when it came to him, "That amount would take his
life, it is poison." He returned and said, "Pardon me, I would give him half of
what I had said."
But the doctors said, "The patient has died, who are you coming back to tell?
What's said is said. This is not merely an exam. If there were a patient and you
gave him this dosage the patient would have died, who's pardon are you asking?
Come next year, prepare yourself better. You cannot just come back and correct
your statement like this. If we change it, it would be false, the patient has
already died."
Don't speak thoughtlessly -- giving it this meaning does not mean to speak
thoughtfully. In my vision its meaning is no-thought. Where there is thought
there will be error. Where there is no thought, the mind is completely quiet,
like a mirror, silent, empty, where meditation has awakened -- there is never
any mistake. There is no need to turn and look back. There is never any
repentance.
This is why I give it the meaning: speaking attentively, what Buddha called
right remembering. Speaking wakefully. Speaking alertly. Not after thinking: is
there an opportunity for thinking, is there time or not? Where is there time in
life? Many times you want to say good things but can't say them, later you
remember.
The great Western
thinker Victor Hugo was coming out of a sitting room. Three or four other
writers were coming with him, conversing. One writer expressed something. It was
such a lovely statement that from Victor Hugo's mouth came out, "If only I had
said that!"
A third writer said, "Hugo, don't worry. You will say it. Some day or other you
will say it. If not today you'll say it tomorrow. It will come out of your
mouth, don't worry. You will say it in other circumstances, but you will
certainly say it. You cannot leave it alone."
But what is said is said. You may also have felt many times that you could have
said that. It is as if someone has stolen the words which you were about to say,
stolen the words that had come to your lips. And sometimes you feel that if only
you had held back just one word, how much trouble you would have avoided.
Because sometimes a small word can change a whole life. A small curse you have
given may change your whole life, and a sweet statement falling from your lips
may make your whole life new, nothing can be said about it... just a small
statement.
The famous American actress Greta Garbo was very poor in her childhood. And she
used to work in a barber shop lathering soap on people's beards. She had never
thought she would become such a great actress, a world famous actress. One day a
movie director came to the barber shop to get a haircut and she lathered soap on
his face. While she was lathering -- he was a movie director -- looking at
her face in the mirror, just one word slipped out of his mouth, "Beautiful...
what a beautiful face."
And this small statement became a revolution in Greta Garbo's life. A girl
getting two cents for lathering beards died the owner of millions of dollars
-- just this small statement. It was not said after thinking it over, it came
out spontaneously. But Greta Garbo was reminded of her beauty. For the first
time she looked at herself in the mirror with great deliberation. Daily she had
stood in front of the mirror, but she just went on lathering people's beards.
She had never noticed. She had never thought that she was beautiful, or that she
could be beautiful. The poor girl didn't have the capacity even to think of it.
Greta Garbo asked, "Really, you think I am beautiful?"
The movie director said, "Not just beautiful, but one of the most beautiful
women. And if you want I will prove it, because I am a movie director. I am
making a movie. I can put you in it. You have a photogenic face, that will look
so beautiful in the picture. I have been working with pictures my whole life."
This is why it often happens that some person, film actor or actress when you
meet them directly doesn't seem so beautiful: he has a photogenic face. In a
photograph they appear beautiful whether face to face they look beautiful or
not. These are two different things. Many times people are very beautiful when
you meet them face to face, but don't look so beautiful in a picture.
Greta Garbo ascended the skies. A small incident, an accidental word changed
her whole life. Otherwise perhaps she would have died still lathering soap on
people's beards. A small word can give rise to such ripples: can make a friend,
can make an enemy; can give life beauty, can make it ugly.
DON'T SPEAK TOO EAGERLY...
But the meaning I give it is not speak thoughtfully: in thought is calculating,
cunning, cleverness, politics. I say, speak from no-thought, from a feeling of
peace and silence. Let it arise in silence from deep within. And then what you
say will be integral, because it arises out of peace. Right speech and you will
settle down. Otherwise the ego takes you from one extreme to the next.
DON'T SPEAK TOO EAGERLY, DON'T WALK WITH A STRUT...
Don't walk stamping your feet. Don't make noise in your life. Pass by so that
no one knows. Remain absent. This is god's way of being. God is present
everywhere, but he is unknown. What is his art? DON'T WALK WITH A STRUT...
Don't stamp your feet. Don't go on pointing your finger at yourself saying look
at me.
God is present as an absence. He is present. He is visible to those who also
become absent, who themselves become completely silent. Only in their eyes is
his face reflected.
DON'T WALK WITH A STRUT...
People move with such pride. They walk arrogantly, uselessly arrogant.
Have you noticed? When you are alone on the street you walk in one way. If the
path is deserted, no one in sight, you're out for a morning walk, you move in a
certain way. You won't strut. But then suddenly two people come on the road, and
your step changes. You watch tomorrow, your step will change. When two people
enter the road, your step will change. Now you move in a different way. And if
two beautiful women step onto the road then your stride will change even more.
You will quickly dust yourself off and start proudly twisting your mustache,
straighten up your tie, put your hat at a slant. You will immediately start
strutting along. Even without mustache people proudly twist. It is not necessary
to have a mustache to stand proud. Pride is a separate matter. It can be shown
in any manner, some with a mustache, some with a tie, but show pride.
People walk as if the whole world is watching them, as if everyone's eyes are
on them.
Strutting means, everyone's eyes should be on me. Why? Because the ego demands
attention from people. And the more attention ego gets from others the more it
is nourished. The more people greet you on the street, the more people agree
that yes, you are something, the more your ego is strengthened. Go out on the
street one day, if no one even looks, no one even says hello, if the whole
village has decided to treat you this way, to pretend you don't even exist --
you will be very unhappy. You will come back tired and defeated. You will say,
what happened? Your strutting has had no effect.
You watch small children, they play this game every day. There is no great
difference in grown ups. From the youngest to the oldest there are nothing but
children. If you want to watch grown up children, go to Delhi sometime --
children of sixty-five, seventy, seventy-five, eighty, eighty-three. Someone is
prime minister [83 year old Morarji Desai]. Someone is home minister, someone is
defense minister, and they go on chasing after each other, like small children.
Like children fighting on a garbage heap playing king of the mountain. And if
one stands on top then the others go on shoving and a great match of pushing
and shoving ensues. Each one twists his mustache in pride. And each one says to
himself, "I will overpower each and every one of them and stay up. Look how I
threw this one down, or look how I put that one flat on his back."
From young age to old, people remain children. As long as you attract
attention, as long as you say look at me, you are a child, you are childish.
You experience it in children every day. If there are children at your house,
when a guest comes you tell the children a guest is coming, just be quiet. Then
the children cannot remain silent. They would otherwise be sitting quietly in
the corner playing with their dolls, but as soon as guests come the children
come and get in the way. They start asking irrelevant questions... I want ice
cream, I am hungry. You are surprised, until now the child was sitting silently,
what has happened to him? The child has become a politician. He is saying. "Will
these guests go without looking at me? I will show them, I will tell them that I
too am someone. This house runs according to me, I will demonstrate it."
If you tell a child something when you are alone with him he will accept it. If
you say it in front of four people he is not willing to accept it, he stubbornly
refuses. This is why if you take a child who is well behaved at home to the
market he will cause an embarrassment right in the middle -- I want to buy
this, I want to buy that. And what is your embarrassment? The embarrassment is
that in front of four persons you cannot say that I cannot buy it, I don't have
the money, my pocket is empty, don't torture me. He is waiting for this
opportunity to show you...
Small children can easily push your buttons. Then when you are older you play
on these buttons a little more subtly, a little more cleverly. But there is no
difference. You have not grown up. The ego never grows up, the ego is always
childish.
... DON'T WALK WITH A STRUT...
You have seen children, stamping their feet, making noise, throwing things on
the floor. You have seen women who throw plates in the house at the smallest
provocation, drop pots and pans, fill the whole house with noise. ... DON'T WALK
WITH A STRUT... That woman is saying I will show you.
Mulla Nasruddin's wife was running after him -- carrying her rolling pin.
Mulla got scared and slid under a bed. The wife was fat and couldn't get under
the bed. Mulla sat proudly under the bed. Then somebody knocked on the door,
some guest came. The wife quickly hid her rolling pin and said to Mulla, "Come
out from there, a guest has come, come out quickly."
Mulla said, "Let the guests come, today I will show you who runs this house. I
will sit wherever I want."
The wife said, "Not so loud!"
But Mulla said, "Am I afraid of anyone? Who is master of this house? Today it
will be decided -- you or me."
The wife said, "Shhh!!! Quiet. Come out from there."
But by this time Mulla's pride had mounted. He said, "Ask forgiveness, ask
'please'."
She had to ask please. The guest is at the door and Mulla is sitting under the
bed, will it look good? And if he begins to say something sitting under the bed,
he starts to speak... she had to say please.
DON'T WALK WITH A STRUT...
Gorakh is saying, speak meditatively, walk silently. Walk as if you are not.
Walk so no one knows it. Don't walk like a street band playing. Don't beat your
drum.
... PLACE YOUR FEET WITH CARE
Place your steps so slowly that there is no sound. Come and pass through this
world like a gust of wind comes and passes through. No one will get even a
whisper of when you came, when you left. Pass through like a silent, empty
sound. And you will know god. And you will recognize god.
Those who are eager to show the world become actors. Out on the street you will
find mostly actors. Before leaving their homes, people spend so much time
getting ready. Women spend hours standing in front of the mirror. Even the
mirror gets tired! The husband is sitting out on the street honking the horn and
the wife is still in front of the mirror thinking shall I wear this sari or that
sari?
I was a guest at someone's house. The husband was taking me to a meeting, he
was honking the horn, it was already late. And the wife angrily looked out the
window and said, "I have told you a thousand times I am coming in a minute." If
she is going to say it a thousand times, then it will take hours just to say it
... "But this constant horn honking is killing me. Can I put on a sari or not?"
In the evening when we came back, I asked her, "At any rate you were going to
have to put on a sari. Why did it take so long?"
She said, "How could it not take long? Come, I will show you -- I have three
hundred saris. One has to think it over, consider, which one to wear, this one
or that. This has some good qualities, that has other qualities. So it is a
problem. Sometimes I put on one then have to change it. So it takes a long
time."
People are actors. This is why other peoples' wives seem more beautiful than
our own wives, because we see our own wives in their natural condition but you
see others' wives on stage -- in full costume, all made up...
Mulla Nasruddin says that for birth control no other method is needed, just
wives shouldn't use make-up. It is sufficient. Nothing else is required. This
is enough to make the mind disinterested. Remaining spontaneous and natural,
enough...
DON'T SPEAK TOO EAGERLY, DON'T WALK WITH A STRUT, PLACE YOUR FEET WITH CARE.
Don't take the world as a stage and don't get lost in acting here. There is
truth also inside -- beyond acting. You will know that truth, you will be able
to turn towards it, when in your mind you are no longer concerned that others
give you attention, whether others pay attention to you or not. When you want
others to pay attention to you, you have to pay attention to them. It is a
mutual give and take. When will you give attention to yourself? You will have to
pay attention to others if you want them to pay attention to you. If you want
people to ask how much you paid for the sari you are wearing you will first have
to ask about their sari: How much? What a beautiful weave? Where did you buy it?
Then the other will ask you. Naturally, it is a world of give and take. If you
give attention to others, others give attention to you in response, because they
also want to receive attention, the same as you. We go on decorating each others
egos -- when will you give attention to yourself? You will miss knowing that
which is waiting within you -- and that is the highest wealth, it is the
highest bliss. God is hidden in that consciousness. If you taste that
consciousness, you will taste eternal life.
DON'T SPEAK TOO EAGERLY, DON'T WALK WITH A STRUT, PLACE YOUR FEET WITH CARE.
Somewhere else Gorakh has said:
THE FULL POT CARRIED SILENTLY, THE HALF FULL SOUNDING SPLASHES
WHEN THE SEEKER IS READY, O AVADHUT, THE MASTER SPEAKS FRUITFULLY.
THE FULL POT CARRIED SILENTLY...
A pot filled with water is still, it does not splash.
THE FULL POT CARRIED SILENTLY, THE HALF FULL SOUNDING SPLASHES
One which is half full splashes. A filled water pot doesn't make noise, a half
filled pot makes noise. The more noise you make and stamp your feet, the clearer
is the message that you are false. The more you walk like a street band playing,
walk raising your flag... 'let our flag remain on high' ... the more you show
that you are false, you are half... THE HALF FULL SOUNDING SPLASHES. One who
knows, who has had a little experience of life becomes reserved, becomes deep.
There is no sound, there is silence around him, a quiet music...
THE FULL POT CARRIED SILENTLY, THE HALF FULL SOUNDING SPLASHES
WHEN THE SEEKER IS READY, O AVADHUT, THE MASTER SPEAKS FRUITFULLY.
You make meaningless noise. What else is your speech? There is nothing in your
speech because you don't know anything, what do you have worth saying? But
people talk so much, so much nonsense is said. Other people are dumping rubbish
in your ears, you are dumping rubbish into others' ears, rubbish heaped upon
rubbish. Pay close attention, ninety percent of what you say the whole day is
completely worthless, if it weren't said it would be okay. ... THE HALF
SOUNDING SPLASHES if one which is half filled does not splash what will it do?
It creates much noise. People go on talking. The whole world is full of talk:
unneeded, meaningless talk.
Gorakh says: WHEN THE SEEKER IS READY... One who knows will speak only to those
whose eagerness to know is clear. A master speaks only to one who is a potential
master. He doesn't speak to each and everyone. It is no use speaking to
everyone. A master sits only with those who show a glimpse of being a potential
master. A true master speaks to true disciples. He doesn't speak to each and
everyone.
I am asked why aren't arrangements made for everyone to come and listen here?
There is no need for everyone to come here. I speak to those who have potential.
I speak to those who are eager, who are thirsty.
WHEN THE SEEKER IS READY, O AVADHUT, THE MASTER SPEAKS FRUITFULLY.
Then there is some gain in speaking. One who has become enlightened speaks to
those who will become enlightened, then there is some gain, otherwise it is just
meaningless nonsense.
GORAKH RAJA SAYS, DON'T BE STIFF, LIVE SPONTANEOUSLY.
Don't be an egoist, live naturally, such a small teaching but this is the
greatest teaching. Gorakh says, only this much I say to you, if you can
understand this, if you can accomplish this then everything will happen.
... DON'T BE STIFF, LIVE SPONTANEOUSLY.
Live spontaneously -- what does it mean to live spontaneously? Don't live
through calculations, live out of innocence. Trees are spontaneous, birds and
animals are spontaneous, only man is not spontaneous. Where does this
unnaturalness come from? I display to people what I am not. I will prove I am
what I am not -- this is where unnaturalness arises. I am poor but I will make
an impression on people of being wealthy. I am ignorant but I will give people
the idea that I know. I am nobody but I have a great desire to speak, to be
somebody -- that ego may someday be fulfilled. So you go on telling people you
are what you are not. Inside one thing, outside another. With this deceit you
have become unnatural.
You can be spontaneous when you drop this trip of the ego. When you say I am
like I am -- bad then bad, good then good. I am just as god made me. I will
not needlessly put on a veil and hide myself. Now your situation is like a wound
that you have put a rose flower over and hidden. So you have become unnatural.
The wound is within, a rose flower is placed over it. Pus is forming inside. And
because of the rose flower the wound cannot heal, it doesn't receive the sun
light, does not get fresh air.
Expose yourself exactly as you are within. Then you will be spontaneous. Drop
your fear. What's the fear? That people think badly of you? What is the harm? If
people won't pay attention to you, will not respect you, what is lost? What do
you get from their respect?
NATH SAYS, KEEP YOUR DIGNITY, DON'T INSIST ON DEBATE.
Take care of your being. NATH SAYS, KEEP YOUR DIGNITY... Gorakh Nath says, take
care or your soul. Don't get into useless arguments, I am this, I am that.
DON'T INSIST ON DEBATE.
What you are you are. God made you this way. Look after this consciousness.
NATH SAYS, KEEP YOUR DIGNITY, DON'T INSIST ON DEBATE.
THIS WORLD IS A GARDEN OF THORNS, PLACE EACH STEP ALERTLY.
Here there are great gardens of thorns. Very attractive gardens. From afar they
seem flowers. When they prick, you will know they are thorns. From afar they
give the illusion of sweet music, but when you come close, when you are trapped,
there is trouble. Fish too are caught, seeing the bait. The hook inside the bait
is not visible to them either. Others praise you, they are setting bait. There
is a thorn in this bait, and now you are caught.
This is why flattery has so much power in the world. If you tell the dumbest
jackass how intelligent he is, how learned he is, the donkey believes it. The
donkey doesn't question: me, learned and intelligent? He believes it because he
wants to. You have said what he was thinking. There is a saying that at the
right moment you will call a donkey your father. And the donkey will believe it.
And he knows within that he is a donkey and he cannot possibly be your father.
But the believing mind says believe it, why are you passing up a chance like
this? If you tell a crow he is a sweet singing cuckoo the crow will not deny it.
If you flatter him too much and he gets excited then he will caw, caw and prove
he is a crow. But he will think that he is sweetly calling out: 'kuhuu-kuhuu'.
This is why flattery has so much influence. If you flatter someone he will be
ready to do anything, any job can be done. You also are taken in by flattery,
move alertly.
PLACE EACH STEP ALERTLY...
THIS WORLD IS A GARDEN OF THORNS...
There are many thorns here. Flowers cover up, thorns are inside. You go to
grasp a flower and are pricked by a thorn, then it is difficult to get free.
This is how people fall into greed, anger, ego -- and they become
unspontaneous.

GORAKH RAJA SAYS, DON'T BE STIFF, LIVE SPONTANEOUSLY.
And pride is a wide road. Don't think that it is only emperors that are filled
with ego, a beggar too has ego. Beggars also have egos.
I have heard there was a beggar who came daily to Mulla Nasruddin's lane, for
many days he didn't appear. When he saw him in the market Mulla asked, "You are
not seen these days, you used to come daily to harass me. You have harassed for
such a long time, for so many years that it has become a habit. Many times I
have thought you haven't come, what has happened? You didn't come to the door
and rap your staff."
He said, "I gave the lane to my son-in-law."
Mulla said, "Meaning?"
He said, "That lane was mine. There no other beggar can cause any mischief or I
will break his limbs." He was a cripple, dragging himself along, saying, "I
would break their limbs, no beggar can cause mischief there. That lane was mine.
I gave it as a dowry -- my daughter got married!"
Mulla had thought the lane was his, today he found out who the lane belongs to.
Don't think that only emperors have egos, beggars too have egos. They too have
their kingdom, they too have their boundaries. If you enter into their
territory, you will be in difficulty. If you beg there you will have to pay
taxes to them. If a new beggar begs in the lane of an old beggar he will have to
pay taxes.
Naturally, you might never have thought about it, you never knew which beggar
you belong to. There is a beggar on the street who has bought you. He has
rights. He has a license to beg from you. If any other beggar begs then he will
have to pay taxes. You didn't know that you have been sold, that the beggar on
the street is your master and has rights over you.
Don't think that only the rich have egos. Don't think that only the worldly
have egos. Yogis have big egos, renunciates have even bigger egos -- they have
renounced so much! DON'T BE PROUD... Scholars have big egos.
Gorakh has said:
MOVING WITHOUT PATH, BURNING WITHOUT FIRE,
WELL KNOWING GORAKH SAYS, FIGURE THIS OUT O LEARNED PUNDITS.
He says, listen you reciting pandits, you parroting pandits. What do you have?
But you move arrogantly. Some rubbish, some borrowed stinking words!
WELL KNOWING GORAKH SAYS...
Gorakh says, I have known from experiencing myself and then I found out that
you have only words and nothing else.
... FIGURE THIS OUT O LEARNED PUNDITS.
O well-read pundits, O so-called pundits! Figure out what I am saying, come to
your senses. MOVING WITHOUT PATH... There is a movement that is without path,
where there is no path and the goal arrives. Do you know anything about it? By
reading and reciting you have become a pandit, do you know the path that doesn't
exist but the goal comes?
MOVING WITHOUT PATH, BURNING WITHOUT FIRE...
Do you know the happening that occurs from a fireless burning? I know a fire
like this, that doesn't exist yet it burns. I know a death, that doesn't occur,
but it happens. I know a goal that has no path to reach it. I know that which is
sitting within you. What can be the path to reach there? A path is to take you
far away. If god was distant there could be a path. God is you, so what path?
You are god himself.
MOVING WITHOUT PATH...
This is why if you stop you will reach.
... BURNING WITHOUT FIRE...
And this ego is false. To burn it no real fire is needed. If you understand
this then the fire of understanding is enough, and it burns.
Gorakh says, my teaching is very direct -- of spontaneity. As Kabir has said,
based on Gorakh: "O Seeker, the natural samadhi is best."
SWAMI, GOING TO THE FOREST HUNGER ARISES, GOING TO THE CITY MAYA ARISES.
He is saying, O swamis, O escapist sannyasins! If you go to the jungle hunger
will catch you. Then sitting in the jungle twenty-four hours a day you will
think of food. Who knows if anyone will give it. Will anyone bring it or not?
And if you go to the town you will be caught in maya, caught in illusion, caught
in attachment, caught in desire. You will see a beautiful woman passing by and
you will be fascinated. You will see a beautiful house and desire will arise
-- if only it were mine! If you stay in the city maya will catch you. If you go
to the jungle to be saved from maya, hunger catches you. What will you do? You
are in great difficulty.
STUFFING YOURSELF, SEXUAL DESIRE ARISES...
If you over eat, really stuff yourself, sex desire will be created from this
stuffing, from the extra food. If you eat more than is necessary, it creates
desire inside of you. Why does it create desire? Because you will not be able to
contain the extra energy you have taken into yourself, it wants to go out, it is
superfluous, it is not needed, it is burdensome.
What is desire? A way for energy to go out. What is sex? A way to throw out
energy. When you have too much energy that you cannot contain, it will begin to
flow out on its own. It has to flow out. A container can be filled with only as
much water as it contains. If it is filled more, it will overflow. Desire is the
energy that overflows your vessel, this is why if you eat too much you will be
caught in sex desire. Now it is very difficult. If you eat too little you will
remember all kinds of food day and night.
So what will you do? What is the way? Be spontaneous Gorakh says. Come to the
middle. Eat as much as is necessary. Don't go to the jungle, because there you
will be hungry. Don't play around so much in the city that besides city nothing
remains of you, because desire will catch you there. But how to live? Live in
the city like someone living in the jungle, this is the middle. Live at home
like one lives in the forest. Live in the world but don't let the world inside
of you. Live as a lotus leaf in the water.
... WHY WASTE THIS BODY BORN OF PASSION?
Then you will know how this body created from egg and sperm attains the state
of enlightenment! Then you will know. If you have chosen to go to the jungle
because you are afraid desire will catch you in the city, then hunger will catch
you. If you are afraid hunger will catch you in the jungle, come to the city...
and wherever you go, it will be city or jungle, there is no other possibility.
If out of duality you choose one, then you will not be able to remain with it
very long, because the needs of the opposite will begin to pull you, will begin
to attract you.
So eat the right amount of food -- what is sufficient for meditation,
sufficient for worship and prayer. Eat rightly, give to the body what is needed
for natural functions. Don't dump more, otherwise the extra amount will put you
in trouble. Don't go to extremes.
There are some people who overeat, stuffing and forcing food. Their whole work
is food, food, food... they don't do anything else. Then superfluous energy
arises from the extra food. Then the release of energy is necessary, otherwise
the energy will be a burden, will become a load. Then go into desire. Then the
energy flows out in desire. Then people are so drowned in desire that whatever
energy they had flows out in it. Then they become empty, emptied out. Then they
fill up with food because now they are empty, now emptiness aggravates. This
becomes a great disturbance. From one extreme to the other extreme, from the
other back to the first, from the first back to the second, going on swinging
like this, like the pendulum of a clock. The clock of life goes on. Your coming
and going continues. Stop in the middle. Have you ever stopped the pendulum of a
clock and seen what happens? As soon as the pendulum stops the clock stops.
Coming and going has stopped. Time has stopped. Time has stopped means the world
has stopped.
DON'T ATTACK YOUR FOOD, DON'T DIE OF HUNGER, CONTEMPLATE THE SECRET OF BRAHMAN
DAY AND NIGHT
DON'T OVERWORK, DON'T LIE AROUND, THUS SAYS GORAKH DEVA
A plain and simple sutra, but such that if it finds its mark it will land in
your heart like an arrow and your life will be transformed.
DON'T ATTACK YOUR FOOD...
Don't eat fuller and fuller, don't burst with food!
DON'T ATTACK YOUR FOOD...
Don't launch an attack.
... DON'T DIE OF HUNGER...
And don't die of hunger either. Don't starve. Don't fast.
... CONTEMPLATE THE SECRET OF BRAHMA DAY AND NIGHT
Live rightly and assimilate the secret of the ultimate day and night. This
whole universe is filled with mystery, it is overflowing with the beauty of the
highest. The blessings of that highest are present everywhere. In these rays of
sunlight, in the specks of sunlight falling on the leaves, in green leaves, in
flowers, in birds, in people, this vast life, drink his mystery, fill yourself
with it.
O my heart, speak of Him!
In comparison to his face,
All colors and shapes pale;
I have become sated with him --
Drinking his water of compassion;
Float on him wave after wave, flow with him!
O my heart, speak of Him!
His fluid nimble way of moving,
Is unique in the whole world;
His sweet sweet voice --
How beautiful to me;
Become his shadow, live every moment with him!
O my heart, speak of Him!
The bliss of his spontaneous closeness,
Is a trust of life;
But if the hour comes --
of parting company with the beloved;
Then deep within will I bear the fire of distance from him!
O my heart, speak of Him!
Remember the divine. Don't become a glutton, and against gluttony don't always
be starving and fasting. Remember again the story of Shrona -- when the
strings of the veena of life are neither too tight nor too loose music arises.
This music is a song of devotion. This music is kirtan. This music is
remembrance.
O my heart, speak of Him!
Remember the divine. Assimilate his secret. And his secret is overflowing, it
is whispered in every direction.
Your laughing call, O bird of songs!
Spread freedom's wings
Sound the conch of life,
And you join with eager speed
This painted sky!
Soar beyond the horizon
Send a piercing ray
Open the heavenly gates of your heart
And you rain a shower of nectar
This pattering melody!
Secret sky of subtle intelligence
Drink the soma nectar of eternity,
And you sing your drunken bliss,
This immortal, alone!
Watch the moon, watch the sun,
Let the trumpet of truth proclaim,
And distinctions of this world are kidnapped
O destroyer of illusions!
Slough the skin of darkness
Kiss the thousand petalled radiance of the crown,
And you awaken in the cave of the navel
O supine serpent!
It is he outside, it is he inside. Just sink a little into his mystery. It is
he seen rising in the trees, he appears showering light in the moon and stars.
He is moving in your every breath, he is hidden in every beat of your heart. It
is he who pervades your consciousness -- drink up his mystery.
The more a person is filled with the beauty of the universe the closer he
reaches to god. All this beauty is his.
DON'T OVERWORK, DON'T LIE AROUND, THUS SAYS GORAKH DEVA
And don't be stubborn. Don't try to force the body more than necessary.
DON'T OVERWORK...
Don't make too much effort otherwise you will become tired and broken.
But also don't do the reverse: ... DON'T LIE AROUND...
Don't become lazy. Don't just lie there thinking: "We shouldn't make effort,
shouldn't exert ourselves So I'll just lie around."
Now what is to be done? Between the two... Act, as if inactive. Do, but don't
become the doer. Let him be the doer, you are merely his vessel, only a
medium... as Krishna said to Arjuna in the Geeta, just become a medium. The doer
is god, become a bow string in his hands. If he shoots arrows with you then
arrows, and if he offers worship in the temple with you, then worship.
Don't be over active... like people who believe in the yoga of good acts, they
become over active. And don't be too inactive. There is a yoga of inaction too.
This too has become a belief. Such people also find support from the scriptures,
from the songs of the sant mystics. They extract their own meanings. For
instance Baba Maluk has said:
Boas never hold a job, birds have never worked;
Das Maluka says, no need, Rama provides for all.
Lazy people have extracted their meaning from this. They have made a very
beautiful interpretation. They say, it is good, then we will lie around happily
as big snakes lie around. So some sadhus and sants just lie around. They think,
what is there to to? Baba Maluk has said that "existence provides for all." If
it provides it provides... relax and believe in fate.
This whole country has died believing in fate. Laziness has spread through this
whole country. This whole country has become indolent and idle. And it has given
it's indolence and idleness a very spiritual color by saying it is fate, what
happens is what is meant to happen. If one is poor one is poor. A beggar then a
beggar, a slave then a slave. Everything happens by fate. When he wishes it then
everything will be made well, but we have to drag along.
The suffering of this country is that we have taken up this sutra -- of
laziness. We are lying down. The misery of the West is that they have taken up
action, taken it up so much that they can't sleep at night -- they have
forgotten how. Now they cannot sleep without sleeping pills. They have become so
active, so many waves have arisen, the mind is moving so much that they lay down
on the bed at night but the mind has forgotten sleep even exists. It goes right
on thinking. It makes calculations, does accounting, makes plans: tomorrow's
shop, tomorrow's market, tomorrow's world. It remains absorbed in its plans.
This way the night is lost.
The West is going crazy because of too much activity. And the East has become
poor because of too much inactivity. If what Gorakh says is understood then
there is no need to go crazy and no need to be poor.
I tell you to be in between. Work but from a state of no work. Enter into work,
but peacefully, silently... so that work does not make you restless. Work but
don't go insane in it.
OVER EATING STRENGTHENS THE SENSES, DESTROYS CONSCIOUSNESS, FILLS THE MIND WITH
SEX.
If you eat too much food the senses will be strengthened and awareness will be
destroyed.
... DESTROYS CONSCIOUSNESS, FILLS THE MIND WITH SEX.
And the more awareness is destroyed the more nothing but sex remains in the
mind. Understand this. The more the amount of awareness increases the more the
amount of sex decreases. The more the amount of awareness decreases the more the
amount of sex increases. These two are always influencing each other.
Make an experiment and see. If you eat too much then unconsciousness overtakes
you, immediately sleep starts coming. This is why sleep starts coming after
eating. Remain some night without eating, then sleep will not come the whole
night. You didn't eat so unconsciousness does not overtake you. This is why to
one who fasts sleep doesn't come at night. Or sleep becomes less. In old age
sleep becomes less because food becomes less. The body cannot digest so much
food. Life is finishing so now there is no need for sleep either.
Unconsciousness takes over in sleep. For sleep it is necessary that your body
remain more powerful than your being, only then can sleep take over. When you
eat the body grows, the being becomes weak. If you eat too much then the body
becomes very burdensome, you start getting drowsy.
When consciousness increases, you will find simultaneously that sex desire has
started becoming less, because the pressure of the body becomes less on the
being. This is why Gorakh and I do not tell you to fight against sex desire, we
tell you to awaken awareness. Become more alert. Whatever you do, do it with
alertness. If you go into sex, go into it alertly, go into it consciously. And
you will be surprised, as consciousness increases, sex desire will become weak
by itself. One day you will suddenly find that without repressing, without
fighting that you don't know where sex stopped -- when you go within to look
for it, you don't find it. Everything within has become lit with awakening.
Sex and meditation have the same relationship as light and darkness. If a lamp
is lit, darkness is ended. There is no need to throw out darkness. Who can throw
it out? How can it be thrown? Can anyone throw it out? Only a lamp is to be lit.
This is why the people who fight with sex desire have gotten into very foolish
activity. Fight with desire and it will increase. You will be more possessed by
it. No one has ever fought darkness and won. Cutting it with a sword doesn't
work. Beating it with a staff makes no sense. Give it a shove, collect all the
strong men of the village, still you won't be able to push the darkness out of a
small hut. But light one small lamp and you won't even know where the darkness
has gone. Darkness is not a thing, darkness is negative. Darkness is only an
absence, the absence of light. If light becomes present, it is done. There was
no darkness, nor has it gone anywhere: only light was missing, light has come.
Sex is the absence of meditation. If the lamp of meditation is lit: enough, sex
is gone.
Here people ask me, "You don't teach people brahmacharya -- to be celibate?
Brahmacharya cannot be taught. Only meditation can be taught. Brahmacharya is
the result. As meditation ripens, brahmacharya comes to fruit by itself. All
effort is to be put into meditation. One who puts his effort directly into
brahmacharya will sit suppressing sex in the name of brahmacharya. And
brahmacharya is not happening -- it is only superficial -- within the being
the worms of desire are crawling. Inside the snake of desire will raise its
hood. His life will become very unnatural. His life will become very difficult.
Peace will not arise in his life, nor will equanimity come. He will fall deep
into duality. A continuous struggle will go on turning within him. And how can
there be experience of god while struggling? A non-dual mind is needed, only
then is the experience of god possible.
OVER EATING STRENGTHENS THE SENSES, DESTROYS CONSCIOUSNESS, FILLS THE MIND WITH
SEX.
SLEEP OVERTAKES, DEATH CLOSES IN...
Sleep catches you, death catches you.
... THE HEART ENTANGLED.
And then trouble always created within, a disturbance continues to be raised.
An insanity goes on increasing. Just look inside yourself and see how mad you
are. Madness goes on there. Living in this madness how will you know the truth?
It is impossible! This madness must go. And there is only one way for this
madness to go -- LAUGHING, PLAYING THE KNACK OF MEDITATION. Laugh, play,
dance, be ecstatic and keep meditating. This is enough, it will go.
THE MILK DIETER MONK'S MIND ON OTHERS' COWS...
There are a few people who have decided to consume milk only. They think milk
is the purest food.
I was a guest for some time in Raipur. There is a community there -- of the
milk drinkers sect. Milk is the only diet of the people living there. They
thought they would be healthier with milk. Have you gone mad? In the first
place, the milk you are drinking has not been produced for you. You drink cow's
milk, no? It is produced for calves. It is for growing bulls. Milk is not a pure
food. From milk, sex desire will awaken. And sex desire like that of a bull --
not just a little, because god made it for a bull not for you.
And the nature of milk is to be a provision for the child, so the child can get
milk until he can digest food. After a certain age no animal drinks milk, with
the exception of man. Man makes unnatural arrangements. To drink a little in
tea, a little in coffee is okay, but don't become a milk dieter.
When I was in Raipur a priest from the milk diet community came to meet me. He
asked, "How to become victorious over sexual desire?"
I said, "First drop this milk diet, drop this practice. To be a man is bad
enough, you will become a bull! ... and you take nothing but milk. People go on
bringing milk because the saints drink nothing but milk... pure food. What is
pure about milk?
Just a few days ago there was a report in the newspapers that meat has been
produced from milk in Japan. Milk is a part of the blood, this is why meat can
be made from it. Scientists have succeeded in creating meat from milk. Within
two or three months white meat produced from milk will be available in Japanese
markets. Milk contains the same substance that is in meat. This is why flesh
increases from drinking milk, blood improves, a person becomes robust.
Where do you think the milk comes from when a child is born from the mother's
womb? As blood passes through her breasts it begins to produce milk. In this way
blood is available to the child. And the child cannot digest anything else. It
is good for him at this age. There is not such purity in milk as you think there
is. There is greater purity in fruits, greater purity in wheat, rice, beans.
Gorakh says, THE MILK DRINKER MONK'S MIND ON OTHERS' COWS...
Don't become a milk dieter. Otherwise the milk drinker has always to pay
attention which house he will get milk from, which house he will not get it
from. ... MIND ON OTHER'S COWS... His attention is continuously on others'
houses. Whose cow is good, whose cow is bad...
Once I was travelling with a sadhu. He would drink only the milk of a white
cow. I said, "You have gone mad. Use a little common sense. Milk from a black
cow doesn't turn black, milk is always white. Are you afraid of a black cow
because the milk might become black?"
"No," he said, "No, I am... my guru suggested milk of a white cow."
Whether the skin of the cow is white or black what difference is there in the
milk? Then the milk of black women would be black, and the milk of white women
would be white. Milk is white, but nothing becomes pure just by being white.
Have you seen herons? Herons of Indian politics fishing in pure white homespun
khadi? Mulla Nasruddin went into the market one day wearing khadi shirt and
vest, wearing khadi hat and fine cut pajamas. And someone said, "Mulla, what a
clean white!"
Mulla said, "Don't be deceived, no matter how white the clothes are, the heart
is mine, still black as ever."
The heart does not become white from clothes being white, nor does anyone's
soul become pure from drinking white milk.
But people create problems. That sadhu travelling with me was in great
difficulty. First he had to circle all around the cow and check that there was
no black spot or anything on the cow. If the cow was completely white, then
before milking it someone had to bathe. They should milk it wearing wet clothing
so they remained in a freshly bathed condition. His followers had to milk
wearing wet clothes. They were shivering. It was winter, they went on shivering
and milking... And he consumed only milk and thought he was doing something very
virtuous.
I said, "You will fall into hell. They will all make complaints against you,
these people freezing in the cold. Someone will get pneumonia, someone will
catch a cold -- it is all being done for you. You will suffer the fruit of bad
karma. Now you are shocked, but it is better you are careful."
THE MILK DIETER MONK'S MIND ON OTHER'S COWS, THE NAKED ALWAYS NEED FIREWOOD.
And those who have gone naked need wood to burn everyday. Is a blanket worse
than this? Are clothes worse than this? You live naked so you burn wood. This is
greater violence, because to burn wood you have to cut trees. And his mind is
continually concerned with getting firewood each day. He needs his holy fire
burning twenty-four hours a day because he lives naked. The fire goes on
burning. And how many insects are dying in the fire? Trees are cut, insects die
in the fire..what was wrong with wearing clothes? Why are you creating troubles?
Gorakh says let life be spontaneous. These are unnatural things. Now their
minds are caught up in meaningless things: Will I get firewood today or not?
Will I find a white cow or not? Will I get milk or not? Will I get enough milk
or not? Make life simple, not complex. Be natural, be ordinary. Don't buy into
things that give your mind useless worries.
THE MONK IN SILENCE DESIRES A COMPANION...
And the one who vows silence, he wants someone to move with him, he always
needs a companion.
A friend came to meet me, a silent Muni Maharaj. He brought someone with him to
interpret his signs and tell me. I said, "Why don't you speak directly?"
His companion said, "No, he has taken a vow of silence, he doesn't speak
directly."
I said, "This is an additional problem. Now you have to go wherever he goes."
He said, "Yes, I have to go. And Muni Maharaj never touches money either, I
have to keep the money. If we take a rickshaw or taxi I have to give the money.
He doesn't touch money."
"But whose money is it?" I asked.
"The money is his. People give it to him, but I hold it. People offer it at his
feet, I quickly collect it."
I said, "Does Muni Maharaj keep track of it?"
He said, "How can I hide anything from you? He goes on watching, goes on
counting how many notes have come. With hand signs he says a five keep it
carefully." Why this useless nonsense? When you are going to count it anyway,
count it yourself and keep it in your own pocket? You have to count it and keep
it in someone else's pocket and then keep worrying whether he will run away,
whether he will change his mind by the morning.
I said to him, "Come tomorrow to the meditation." It was in Bombay. Meditations
were being held at Birla Matushri's. So I said, "Come tomorrow morning for the
meditation."
He said -- he made gestures and had his friend say, "He cannot come, because
I will not be available in the morning, I am going somewhere else. He cannot
come without me. Who will take care of the taxi? Who will seat him? Who will
help him out? He doesn't speak."
You have become lame by your own hand. God has given you feet, has given you a
tongue. But you have refused them! And you are using a tongue, it too is god's
tongue, in the other man's mouth. Your tongue is also god's. What sense is there
in renouncing a closer tongue to use one further away? But people are caught up
in such disturbances, in such entanglements.
THE MONK IN SILENCE DESIRES A COMPANION...
He always needs a companion.
... NO DEPTH WITHOUT THE MASTER'S SHELTER.
This is all useless nonsense because without finding a master these people will
not find the real thread of life. They have gotten into this nonsense from
reading books, reading scriptures.
Place your hopes in one who has found,
How can thirst be slaked from an empty river?
Rahim's expression is beautiful!
... in one who has found,
You can get something only from someone who has it.
How can thirst be slaked from an empty river?
Is there water in the scriptures? There are nothing but words. Thoughts about
water, descriptions of water, but where is the water? Only with a master can you
get the secret formula, the sutra, the key.
A couplet of Gorakh,
HIS FRAGRANCE AND SWEETNESS PERVADE THE WHOLE WORLD.
THE TRUTH IS, ONLY A MASTER WHO HAS SEEN, CAN HELP YOU SEE.
Gorakh says god is the fragrance filling the entire universe. From his
fragrance the whole universe is made fragrant.
HIS FRAGRANCE AND SWEETNESS PERVADE THE WHOLE WORLD.
And his sweetness is in this whole world, but unless you meet someone to show
you, how will you taste it? Unless you meet someone to tell you, how will his
fragrance reach our nostrils? How will his music connect with our ears?
THE TRUTH IS, ONLY A MASTER WHO HAS SEEN, CAN HELP YOU SEE.
The truth is that until you meet a seer, one who has seen, you cannot be
connected to god.
... NO DEPTH WITHOUT THE MASTER'S SHELTER.
Without a master faith will not come, trust will not come. Only a seer can
provoke this self trust that yes, god is. Only a seer can be a witness -- an
eye witness.
Without finding a master nothing can be attained. People have fallen into these
useless troubles. And the master's message is small, a small sutra: be
spontaneous.
DON'T SPEAK TOO EAGERLY, DON'T WALK WITH A STRUT, PLACE YOUR FEET WITH CARE.
GORAKH RAJA SAYS, DON'T BE STIFF, LIVE SPONTANEOUSLY.
A small sutra, drop the ego, live simply. Don't be extreme, come to the middle,
a natural state...
LISTEN VIRTUOUS ONE, LISTEN INTELLIGENT ONE, TO THIS CALL OF NUMBERLESS SIDDHAS.
THE DISCIPLE BOWING, THE MASTER IS FOUND, AND THE WORLDLY NIGHT IS OVER.
Gorakh said, if you can listen, listen; if you can understand, understand.
LISTEN VIRTUOUS ONE...
If you have a little capacity, you have a little intelligence, listen.
... LISTEN INTELLIGENT ONE...
If you have a little awareness, then grasp this.
... THIS CALL OF NUMBERLESS SIDDHAS.
And not only I am saying it, numberless enlightened people have said it.
THE DISCIPLE BOWING, THE MASTER IS FOUND, AND THE WORLDLY NIGHT IS OVER.
Enough, if the disciple bows down, he meets the master. As soon as the disciple
bows he meets the master. The master is always present, if you bow you meet the
master.
There is an ancient Egyptian saying that whenever the disciple is ready the
master appears. There is not a moment's waiting. The disciple bows, the master
comes.
IN THE DISCIPLE'S BOWING, THE MASTER IS FOUND, AND THE WORLDLY NIGHT IS OVER.
Then this world of night is no more night, then it passes in wakefulness.
Understand these small sutras, comprehend them and practice them a little in
your life, taste them. I finish today's talk with a couplet of Rahim,
RAHIM A STONE IN WATER, SUBMERGED BUT NEVER SOAKED
LIKE FOOLISH PEOPLE, WHO UNDERSTAND BUT DON'T SEEK LIVING INSIGHTS.
Like a stone lying in the river, but still doesn't get soaked. The same way
foolish people sit in satsang but don't get soaked.
RAHIM A STONE IN WATER, SUBMERGED BUT NEVER SOAKED
It remains submerged, remains under water but doesn't get soaked, just remains
untouched. Lying in the water it remains untouchable.
LIKE FOOLISH PEOPLE, WHO UNDERSTAND BUT DON'T SEEK LIVING INSIGHTS.
One who sits in satsang listening, listening to the words but doesn't
experience. '... understand without living insight.' He listens, he understands
but doesn't live it, doesn't experience it. Know he is a fool, he is a stone.
This is satsang. Get soaked, drown, live it...!
DON'T SPEAK TOO EAGERLY, DON'T WALK WITH A STRUT, PLACE YOUR FEET WITH CARE.
GORAKH RAJA SAYS, DON'T BE STIFF, LIVE SPONTANEOUSLY.
