I welcome all of you with my love and respects.
I can see Coimbatore also. Coimbatore came and went away.
Listen!
I can see Coimbatore also.
Listen! I will expand on “SHIVABODHA”. The word “bodha” seems more down to earth than “Shiva Ananda”. The word “Shivananda” seems to be very remote; but “Shivabodha” seems to be immediate. “Shiva Ananda” can be translated as “bliss of being Shiva”. “Shivabodha” can be translated as “intoxication of being Shiva”. Whatever may be the translation, ultimately, the experience is one. When the “bodha” becomes permanent, it becomes “ananda”. When “ananda” gives its glimpse once in a while, it becomes “bodha”, that’s all. When the intoxication becomes permanent, eternal, it is “bliss”. When the bliss comes once in a while and goes, it is “intoxication”, Shivabodha. See, it is a kind of a logical exercise you need to do, a simple logical exercise.
The FIRST LOGIC you have to establish in yourself is: ‘My guru is the ultimate spiritual expression I know. As far as I know, my guru. There might have been bigger or smaller (gurus), I don’t know. But, whatever I know.... There might have been the greatest whisky, brandy, coffee, tea....might have been, might be....but what comes in my cup only I can drink. The best I can, I get it into my cup. The best I can is my guru...I know is my guru. That is the best spiritual expression I know. He told me clearly that I am Mahadeva. Then, this is the path I need to start walking.’ That is the first logic you need to establish in you.
SECOND: ‘He did not tell me that if I become like this I am Mahadeva, if I behave like that I am Mahadeva, if I reduce my tummy I am Mahadeva, or clean my face I am Mahadeva, or shave my hair I am Mahadeva, or leave my hair long I am Mahadeva. No! He said, “You ARE Mahadeva as you are”. Then the whole problem boils down to somewhere me not accepting. There is no other factual, logical point. That is why I am not Mahadeva.’
Please understand, there is a vast difference between the stone temple built like this with the pillar, and this decoration structure. This is a decoration structure. Both may look like same, but there is a vast difference. Same way, all the reasons why you think you are not Mahadeva are like this, the decoration pieces reason. Not, even though it looks like factual, but not factual reasons. Listen! Listen! This may look like a pillar, but this cannot do the job of a pillar. It can be a decoration as a pillar. Same way, the reasons you have why you are not Mahadeva are not factual. They are not cognizable. They are not real in the Cosmic Law of Life. Because, your guru did not tell you that if you become this, this, this, you are Mahadeva. No! I might have told that if you experience Shivoham, this, this, may express through you. But I never tell; if I told I am withdrawing. Even if you have understood, or heard, I am withdrawing those statements. No pre-condition for Shivoham. Shivoham is the unconditional truth. Shivoham is the unconditional apology Maya gives you, delusion gives you. It says, ‘You are That! Sorry for deluding you all these days. Please forgive me. Unconditionally I am apologizing and leaving you.’
Understand, the SECOND LOGIC you need to establish inside you is: ‘There is no pre-condition, pre-qualification for me to experience, live, radiate Shivoham.’
And, I am also reminding you that Day One you will not be able to perfectly experience Shivoham; you don’t have to bother about it. Whatever YOU know as Shivoham! You may not be immediately able to sit under the Kalpavriksha and give initiation, enlightenment to people. But you will be able to easily give one small soap, comb, cloth, rudraksha you have around you. When somebody comes and asks, be like Mahadeva. Will Mahadeva say ‘No!’? No! Whatever YOU know as Mahadeva!
I can give you some of the simple basic expressions of Mahadeva: SAT-CHIT-ANANDA. He is “Sat” – Truth. He is “Chit” – Conscious, alive. He is “Ananda” – Bliss, bliss of constantly being himself; bliss of constantly being himself.
So, understand, start with that: ‘I am bliss of just being myself. I am bliss of being Mahadeva.’ And whatever logic says, ‘I am not Mahadeva, I am not the Ultimate.’, is not factual. Because, ‘If it is factual, my guru would have told me! My guru did not tell “with all these conditions you are Shivoham”. No!’
There is no fine-print involved in Shivoham initiation. Shivoham is Shivoham is Shivoham. There is no asterisk (*) mark, and below it, in fine-print: “Conditions Apply”. No! You ARE Mahadeva! You ARE Mahadeva! You ARE Mahadeva!
Listen! Listen intensely! So, all the logic and reasons you are having to say, ‘No, no, no. I don’t think I am Mahadeva.’, that has something to do with you, and not it has something to do with reality. Listen! If you have any reason that you are not Mahadeva, Shivoham is not a reality for you, that logic, that reason does not have anything to do with reality. It has something to do with you. You need to work only with that.
Understand, the moment you know these pillars are not stone, original pillars, simply you know how to remove it. You have the energy, intelligence, everything, just to pull it out. But, as long as you think it is a stone pillar, you won’t even come near to remove it! So, anything which says you are not Shiva, that logic has nothing to do with reality; it has something to do with you. This is the second logic you need to establish within you.
The THIRD LOGIC......
Please understand, in a very beautiful Sankhya way – “Sankhya” means, “liberating logic”, “enlightened thinking” – through the liberating logic, enlightened thinking, I am initiating all of you into this Shivoham. You will see this, these seventeen days of Nithyanandeshwara Brahmotsavam, Mahadeva is really going to dance here! He is preparing! I think these seventeen days you guys are going to have a feast of Shivoham! This Brahmotsava we will celebrate with the theme of Shivoham. I think in four days we are starting. On twenty-third (23 November 2014), the Poorvanga Puja, the first rituals are starting.
Listen! The NEXT LOGIC (THIRD LOGIC) you need to establish within you: ‘Anything which is not factual, I can complete it. After all, it is my freedom. I created the delusion around me. All this I kept it as a decoration, these pillars and all this. This is not a stone structure. If I want to alter it, I can move or remove.’ That remembrance itself will drastically reduce the powers of incompletion, the power incompletion has over you, understand?
Today, this what I am doing now, is layman’s initiation into Shivoham, initiating a layman into Shivoham. There is a series of books called “KISS”, very popular in the U.S. “Keep It Simple Series” it is called. KISS! That series of books is very popular. Just like “Books for Dummies”! All the major topics you will see – “Yoga for Dummies”, “Tantra for Dummies”, “Hinduism for Dummies”, “Buddhism for Dummies”, “Christianity for Dummies”, “Bible for Dummies”. All the major topics you will see that “Dummies” title books. And, same way, one more series you will see, “The Idiot’s Guide to ........”. That is also a very popular series. And this “Keep It Simple Series” – KISS – that is one more popular series. And “Chicken Soup for the Soul”, that is one more popular series. I don’t know how many of you are able to believe, I have read thoroughly all these series, all these four! On all these four I spent time. I think, in each series, around hundred to two-hundred books are available. “Chicken Soup” is more than that....four-hundred. Just scanning, scanning, scanning, scanning. After ten-twelve books, you just know the thought-trend, and you catch it. It is a beautiful way of spreading knowledge. Amazing work they have done! I thank all the four series’ publishers.
Just like that, today this is K-I-S-S, Keep It Simple Series on Shivoham! Straightforward! No hanky-panky, unturned stones, unattended portions, unexplained logic. No! Straight K-I-S-S series! Actually, I want to create like that, “Guaranteed Solutions” series. We will do it! We will do it! And “Living Enlightenment” series. I wanted to do that. “Living Enlightenment for Pregnant Women”, “Living Enlightenment for Nursing Mothers”, “Living Enlightenment for Teenage Kids”, “Living Enlightenment for Confused Youth”, “Living Enlightenment for Spoiled Brats”, “Living Enlightenment for Unmarried Youth”, “Living Enlightenment for Married Bound”! Books are books are books whatever is said and done. You cannot compete with books for transmitting knowledge. Nothing like books! You may find thousand and one new things like Kindle and Internet. Only nuts can read and receive knowledge from the Internet. Nobody else! How will you read thousands of pages in the computer screen? No! That doesn’t give you that kind of a fulfilment. And, moreover, when the book is in your hand, you can pick up any chapter and you can play with it! You can go from the last chapter to the first chapter, understand the flow of thought-trend.
Books are books are books! It will be irreplaceable knowledge medium even though tons and tons of new methodologies come. Still, even though I am tech savvy and use all the possible technologies, still, for knowledge receiving or knowledge giving, I depend on books. That is more reliable! The publication industry should be revived. It is dying in a very bad way. In the West especially, it should be revived.
Listen! Let me come back to this “Keep It Simple Series”.
The NEXT LOGIC you need to establish: ‘Let me start celebrating all the qualities I can radiate as Mahadeva.’
Being blissful always just because you exist is “Shivabodha”, being intoxicated of being Shiva. Actually, you don’t even need to struggle. Just visualize it is there; it is there oozing like blood oozing in the body. The energy of Shivabodha! And Shiva is not some dead qualities; he is a living being! Request him, ‘O, Mahadeva, I request you, I am an initiated disciple. I am authorized to invoke you and request you.’
Initiation gives you the authority; so you don’t even have to have the doubt, ‘Am I qualified to invoke him? Am I qualified to call him? Am I qualified to receive him?’ No! Initiation gives you the authority.
‘I am an initiated disciple. I invoke you. Please come inside. Be you. Let me be you. Let you be me. Let you just be.’
And he is such a vibrant, living, intelligent being! When you invoke him, he clears tons of incompletions which you were thinking too big. Invoke him again and again. Invite him again and again. When you invoke him, you don’t need to be cleaning up everything bit by bit, inch by inch – ‘Oh, this corner also I have to clean and burn the dust.’ When he comes, the whole thing is burnt, nothing is left! He remains as he! Establish this few logic.
I request everyone, all the satsanghis, today’s satsangh watch at least two-three times. Logically you need to be convinced, understanding. Then, naturally you will internalize, this great truth.
I have given four points today. This is the essence of today’s satsangh. Just simple, straightforward initiation into Shivoham!
Today, the whole day, in Nithyananda TV, this satsangh will be replayed continuously. Please watch.
Mahadeva, Shiva, as Mahadeva I initiate all of you powerfully into this great truth, Shivoham, Shivoham, Shivoham. Live this truth.
I will continue to expand in further satsanghs with this Shivoham.
I will move to the next segment – Dial-the-Avatar.
Now, I bless you all! Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, Enriching and Causing eternal bliss, Nithyananda! Thank you!
---- END OF SATSANGH ----
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
SEE MAHADEVA DANCING IN YOUR “CHIDAMBARA”!
What you think as you, that is the first incompletion. Whatever you can think as you, anything which can be imagined by you, you can complete that. So, complete that itself and drop it and sit as Mahadeva. See, when you try to imagine Mahadeva, you just know you cannot imagine. That beyond imagination, that joy! See clearly, whatever you know as Mahadeva, that is sitting there in your place and you have completed yourself into that Completion. That is sitting. By its very being it is blissful. Sit in that space of Shivoham and listen. You will see Mahadeva will be dancing in your Chidambara, in your heart! “Chidambara” means, heart. Mahadeva will be dancing!
(Swamiji, Paramahamsa Nithyananda, during Nithya Kirtan – Bidadi, Wednesday, 19 November 2014)
