Question: How should people outside of the Aadhenam develop strong Guru-disciple connection? How should adults develop the child like surrender?

Swamiji: Understand Prashant Khurana, actually people outside the Aadhenam, it is easy for you to develop a strong Disciple-guru connect; because, still it is only the honeymoon stage... dating stage \- when you want you can meet when you don’t want you don’t need to. Inside the Aadhenam it’s almost like a married; it is a commitment, understand. I am giving you the example. Don’t try to make negative meaning out of it and make any bad, wrong meaning out of it. If you are not inside the Aadhenam, if you are outside Aadhenam surely the Guru-disciple connect can be much more stronger and deeper.

And ... you are asking how adult should develop child like surrender. No. Understand, I am not surrender based, faith based, belief based sampradaya. I am Integrity based sampradaya. I do not expect your surrender. I only expect your Integrity. For example: how you show you to me be the same in life; that’s all. If you show you are a grihastha, be a grihastha. If you show you are a sannyasi, be a sannyasi. How you declare you, be integrated to that, that’s all. Nothing else matters. Whatever you show as you, whatever you declare as your conclusions, have that same conclusions inside you. See... if you tell outside world, “ohh these all are my cognitions and conclusions and this is my life” so inside also be the same, that’s it.

I am not surrender based sangha, I am not faith based sangha, I am not belief based sangha. First of all Hinduism is not faith based religion. Understand, it is not the belief based religion. The first lessons taught you in Hindu tradition is

Aum Bhur Bhuva Swaha, Tat Savitur Varenyam,

Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi, Dhiyo Yonah Prachodayat.

Where the faith comes here? This is the first line you learn in Hinduism.

Isha vasyam idam sarvam, yatkimcha jagatyam jagat

Tena tyaktena bhunjitha, ma gridhah kasya swid dhanam.

Where the faith comes? Where the belief comes? No.

Puurnnam-Adah Puurnnam-Idam Puurnnaat-Purnnam-Udacyate

These are the first lines you learn in your life, in Hinduism. So we are not a faith based, belief based, surrender based religion. We are fundamentally Integrity based religion. Understand? Integrity based tradition. Be you as you declare you. That’s it.

So Prashant Khurana I don’t expect you to surrender, I only expect you to be integrated; that’s all, nothing else.

Om Nithyānanda Mahasadashivoham \!\!

If I chant the full “Nithyanandeshwaraya Sadashiva Samarambam”, it’s going to be a full satsang, if I just start with the Mahavakya “Om Nithyananda Maha Sadashivoham”, it’s going to be a rapid fire session. Come on; let’s start the Facebook rapid fire\!\! ☺

See I will continue to respond to your messages by hand and eyes and continue to answer your questions by listening and speaking. So at a time, simultaneously both. Come on, start\!

(0:52)

Question: The first question is sent from Guman Bhushan \- “Swamiji bless us with the knowledge of how to become intelligent”

Swamiji: Understand this fundamental question, How to become intelligent? Anything self centred is pain. Body stinks, mind sinks. Body stinks, mind sinks\!\! Anything, any thought current you develop around the body and mind will always be stinking and sinking. Start developing your thought currents around the cosmos, around the humanity \- the larger aspects of life. See, body and mind is one aspect of your life... not that itself is not your whole life. Yes, you use the restroom for 15 minutes of your day; that is also one room of your life. But that alone cannot be room of your life, your house. Just like, restroom is used for 15 minutes, bedroom is used for 7 \- 8 hours, body and mind is used for few minutes in your life. But that cannot occupy the larger portion of your life. I tell you, this is fundamentally the definition of Intelligence. Thought currents developed with the larger aspects of life like Humanity, Universe, Cosmos, Existence, Reality, how Consciousness works \- the larger aspects of life becomes Intelligence. Thought currents developed around your body and around your mind, every small narrow vision, aspects of your life becomes stinking and sinking; that’s all. That’s all, is the whole thing. What kind of thought currents you are developing, encouraging in your life? Is it all about your body-mind or is it all about the Universe, Existence and Reality? That’s it. Becoming more intelligent means developing better thought currents based on Universe, the Higher Existence and larger aspects of Life. Next.

Question: Prasanth Khurana wrote “How should people outside of the Aadheenam, develop a strong Guru-Disciple connection? How should adult develop child like surrender?”

Swamiji: Understand Prashant, actually people outside the Aadheenam, it is easy for you to develop a strong Disciple-Guru connect, because still it is only the honeymoon stage, dating stage. When you want you can meet, when you don’t want, you don’t need to. Inside the Aadheenam it’s almost like a married. It is a commitment, ☺ understand. I tell you, I am giving you the example, don’t try to make negative meaning out of it and make any bad, wrong meaning out of it. If you are not inside the Aadheenam, if you are outside the Aadheenam surely the Guru-Disciple connect can be much more stronger and deeper.

And you are asking, how adult should develop the child like surrender. No, understand, I am not surrender based, faith based, belief based sampradaaya. I am Integrity based sampradaaya. I do not expect your surrender; I only expect your Integrity. For example, how you show you to me, be the same in life. That’s all. If you show you are a grihastha, be a grihastha. If you show you are a sannyasi be a sannyasi. How you declare you, be integrated to that. That’s all. Nothing else matters. Whatever you show as you, whatever you declare as your conclusions, have that same conclusions inside you. See, if you tell outside world, “Oh these all are my cognitions and conclusions and this is my life”, so inside also be the same. That’s it. I am not surrender based sangha, I am not faith based sangha, I am not belief based sangha. First of all Hinduism is not faith based religion. Understand, it is not the belief based religion. The first lesson taught to you in Hindu tradition is

*Om Bhur Bhuvaḥ Swaḥ Tat-savitur Vareñyaṃ*

*Bhargo Devasya Dhīmahi Dhiyo Yonaḥ Prachodayāt*

Where the faith comes here? This is the first line you learn in Hinduism.

*Isavasyam idam sarvam yat kim ca jagatyam jagat***, **

*tena tyaktena bhunjitha**, ma gridhah kasyasvid dhanam* **

Where the faith comes? Where the belief comes? No.

*Purnamadah Purnamidam Purnat Purnamudachyate*

*Purnasya Purnamadaya Purnamevavashisyate*

These are the first lines you learn in your life... in Hinduism. So we are not a faith based, belief based, surrender based religion. We are fundamentally Integrity based religion; understand... integrity based tradition. Be... be you, as you declare you. That’s it. So Prashanth Khurana, I don’t expect you to surrender, I only expect you to be integrated; that’s all.... nothing else. Next.

Question: Arivignana wrote, “Swamiji should we repeatedly pray for the same thing or should we ask only once for the prayer to come into reality?

Swamiji: First thing, this ‘repeatedly praying or should we ask only once’ \- you need to repeat if you have not asked intensely. Repeating means \- if you have not beaten once properly, if you did not beat properly, you need to re beat. If you have not prayed properly, you need to re pray. I should tell you, Sadashiva has 1000 times more listening than you. But when you pray, you yourself may not have listened it, you yourself may not have been integrated to it. Only then you need to pray.

Just today I was discussing with Aadheenavasis. Many time you pray and it becomes reality. After that you don’t even remember you prayed for it and got it. You just take it for granted. Just making you avoid taking it for granted, Mahadeva makes you pray few more times. So you will be integrated to what you asked and got it. See for example, a car or a house or a relationship, if you just asked once and you got it, you may even forgot you prayed for it. If you pray again and again then you get it, you know you prayed and got it, so you will be integrated to it. So just, make you remember. Understand, our prayers sometimes made to repeat, SO WE WILL LISTEN TO THAT PRAYER CLEARLY, NOT SADASHIVA NEED TO LISTEN TO THAT AGAIN AND AGAIN.

Understand, listen to this carefully. If you are asking for something to Mahadeva, once you uttered itself He knows, you want this. If He is delaying, He wants you, you to utter it and listen to you, you to listen to you few more times. So when He grants, you know you asked for it, you will not take it for granted, you will live with it, you will be integrated to it. From My side, this is the exact, precise way I look at some prayers being answered immediately, some getting late. If Mahadeva feels, you will not take it for granted, you will be responsible for what you asked, it is granted immediately. When He feels, you may take it for granted, you many even forget you asked for it and got it, you may ruin it, then He asks you to repeat so you will remember. Prayers are made to repeat, not for the God to listen, but for you to listen again and again, what do you want. You are asked to repeat not for Sadashiva to listen again, but for you to listen again. Saraswathi, answer for you ☺ Next.

Question: What is the most empowering way, we can cause others to experience their Higher Being and support them in manifesting this. Thank You for opportunity to ask you questions today. So fun

Swamiji: Justin Dulay, first thing understand, it is a virtuous circle. When you start talking to others, about their Higher Being you will discover many of your higher dimensions. Go on be enriching others, you will open up and enrich and raise yourself in a higher way. When you raise yourself higher way, you can enrich others in a next level, higher way.

So how, I tell you. I just decided yesterday, let Me start the ground level work, raw, how I started My life. How I started My public life? I will walk from village to village. Actually I started My public life in a very young age. Immediately after 12th, after I realised My Enlightenment, immediately after 12th, I took My first pada yatra from Tiruvannamalai to Vadaloor and that padha yatra is My first enriching padha yatra, as per My Guru’s instruction. See I should say, I started organised public life in 2000\. But My public life started in, when I was 12, in... I think 1984, that is the age I was 12, that’s the year I was 12\. So My public life started that time itself, 1984 itself. So understand how I started My public life. One person at a time, I will walk from village to village and carry a kavadi. Kavadi means a bamboo stick both side, two pots will be hanging. So I will receive whatever people offer, in both pots; one pot for Me, one pot for the deity, to the temple I am travelling. So it is not that I was going from Tiruvannamalai to Vadaloor directly, I was making.... from Tiruvannamalai first I decided, I will go to that nearby there is a place called Somaasipadi, it’s a Subramanya temple. Then from that Subramanya temple there was a nearby another one place. It’s a small, small, small yatras; put together, it become Tiruvannamalai to Vadaloor and then I came back. So from Tiruvannamalai to Somaasipadi, when I walk, one pot is for me to consume and maintain myself, one pot for that Subramanya. So that is the way, I will carry. I will go to every village, sit, spend some time and small boy carrying this kavadi, naturally people will be curious, all alone. They will come and try to talk to me. Then I will start talking to them and start enriching, whatever little way I know, whatever Tamil, with that language and I will explain that, “This Muruga temple is very famous temple and I am going there to have darshan of the Muruga and I will call them to come to the temple. And then they will ask “Indha vayasula”, “in this age, what is there Murugan and all that?” Then I will start talking philosophy, then in this age if I don’t do, in your age you want me to do ☺

So whatever way I can, it was a raw, crude, ground level way; one person at a time. So I decided, I am going to start My own way \- one person at a time.  Now I don’t need to go to the streets, the street comes to me in the iPad. Whole world comes here, in the form of internet. But one person at a time, reaching out, reaching out, reaching out. I tell you.... shortest distance between two points is a straight line... so most smartest strategy is hard work with integrity; that’s all. That’s the most smartest strategy. I decided, let Me sit and start doing, start empowering, start enriching. Now I am seeing suddenly the whole energy of the Sangha has become different. Today I spoke only half an hour satsang. Today’s satsang is the largest watched satsang in our whole sangha, in last 15 years of My public life\!\!

I tell you, let’s sit and start. See... Justin Dulay, I will give you this as a technique. Every person you know, who will be interested to talk about this Higher Life, start talking to them, one by one, one by one. You will discover you. When you help them to discover them, you will discover you. This is the best way to experience, manifest and support others to manifest the Higher Being. Next…

Question: Kanas I P wrote “How to kidnap the spouse to Maha Sadashivoham?”

Swamiji: How to kidnap the spouse to Maha Sadashivoham? Very risky question\!\! I think every spouse has a tantrum throwing kid inside. He or she just wants to say No because you say. See fundamentally it is not that they hate Me... they do not want to say yes because you say. That is the kid. You say “yes”. “NO”. You say “No”. “Yes”. “Take bath”. “No, I will not get into water”. When they get into water and jump, splash around, “Hey come out of the water”, “NO I will not come out from the water.” Kid means just saying No. Now you have to make that kid take nap, then you can kidnap ☺ How to make that kid nap? ☺ Fundamentally that kid which is inside your spouse, you need to sit and work with that kid and complete that kid. I tell you, you should not give advice, you should give attention. Kid does not advice, he needs attention. You just sit and give attention... that kid will take a nap. Then you can just kidnap. ☺ The kid which is saying constant No in your spouse, should be made to take a nap, by you giving attention not by giving advice. Understand, this is the advise to you – “Never advice your spouse. You can advise anybody, but not your spouse.” Arey Mahadeva could not advise Sati, what about you? Whatever is said and done, end of the day, He only has to send Veerabhadra to kill Daksha, but He was not able to advise Sati. 

Understand very clearly, not able to convince your wife is not just your problem, even Mahadeva’s problem. ☺ So do not try to advise.... give attention. Give attention, don’t try to give advice, give attention. And, when you give attention, that tantrum throwing “No” kid in your spouse will take a nap, then you can just kidnap. That’s all. Make the kid take a nap, in your spouse, then you can kidnap your spouse. ☺ Yes, next..

(21:40)

Question: Lizalot Easterman wrote, “Do you have favourite or is everyone equal in your eyes?”

Swamiji:  Lizlot, you need to understand. Everyone is equally favourite, favouritely equal. ☺ You need to understand, this whole question comes from... this concept of jealousy. First of all, this concept of equal is faulty generalisation. See, for Me everyone is favourite; because everyone is favourite, everyone is equal for Me. Not that everyone is equal, so everyone is My favourite.... No. Everyone is My favourite, so everyone is equal. Understand, this two has a big difference. “Everyone is equal, everyone is My favourite”, is not the statement I am making. Everyone is favourite, then you can come to the conclusion everyone is equal. But the idea of equal, is faulty generalisation. It is faulty generalisation. I should say, surely all of you are not equal, but all of you are My favourite. 

So again, I will continue to answer your messages and respond. Around, around 900 friend requests from morning and more than 1200 messages I responded, and after a break, may be, half an hour, one hour break, again we will have one more session. Rapid fire\!\!

Blessings, let’s get back to the next session by 12 o clock. No, may be no, 1 hour, by 11.30 or around, so we will just see the how things go and then I will get back, in next few hours. 

Be hooked, be connected to Nithyananda TV, Facebook live. Blessings to all of you, let’s get back to next session. Let’s see you all in the next session. Be blissful.
