nithyānandeśvara paramashiva samārambhām nithyānandeśvari parashakti madhyamām | asmat āchārya paryantām vande guru paramparām ||

I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees, disciples, samajis, satsangis, Sri Mahants, Mahants, Thanedar, Kotharis, visitors, viewers, sitting with us all over the world through Nithyananda TV in Adi Kailaasa, Paschima Kailaasa and through Nithyananda TV and two-way video conferencing having Nayana Deeksha. I welcome everyone of you with my love and respects.

Today is Kapila Shasti, the day Bhagavan Kapila appeared. Kapila was born without staying in mother’s womb. He just manifested in front of the mother as a child. Because, mother has done lot of penance for Bhagavan Vishnu to be born as a son. So Kapila Maharishi is fifth incarnation of Bhagavan Vishnu, Maha Vishnu as per Srimad Bhagavata Puranam. And Bhagavan Kapila, He’s also the head of our Sannyas Sampradaya. The whole Sannyas Sampradaya, whether in Vedanta or in Agama \- Shiva Sannyasa Paddhati or Vedanta Sannyasa Paddhati. The first sannyasa paddhati is from Kapila Maharishi and all the Sannyas Sampradayas accept Kapila Sannyasa Paddhati as the source of Sannyas Sampradaya. In Agama also sannyas is as per Kapila’s Sannyasa Paddhati. In Vedanta also sannyas is always as per Kapila Maharishi’s Sannyasa Paddhati. Shankaracharya’s Vedanta Sannyasa Paddhati also is a commentary on Kapila Maharishi Sannyasa Paddhati. Whether Shakta sampradaya or Vedanta sampradaya, even some of the Vaishnava sampradayas \- like Gaudiya Sampradaya, Gaudiya Vaishnava Sampradaya.

And, important information including Buddhist sannyas tradition is from Kapila Maharishi. Kapila is called Shankyamuni. The word “Shankyamuni” only is picked up by Buddhist to call Buddha as a Shakyamuni. And the word “nirvana” is from directly Nirvani Sampradaya, Nirvani Peetha which is call sangha of Kapila Muni. It is Kapila Muni Sangha is called Nirvani Akhada, Nirvani Peetha. And the word “nirvana” \- all the keywords of Buddhism are from Kapila. And, Kapila is the first human being started developing thought currents. One of the greatest Siddha, Master of creating Siddhas.

That is why Krishna says, “siddhānāḿ kapilo muniḥ”

When He declares His glory as the Ultimate, He says, “Among the trees, I am the Banyan tree. And among the Siddhas, I am Kapila. So among the Sages, I am Narada. Among the Gandharvas, I am Chitraratha. Among the Sages, Siddhas, I am Kapila.”

“siddhānāḿ kapilo muniḥ”

Kapila is the source of all the philosophies. The oldest philosophy in Hindu tradition, non-controversially accepted. Please understand, Hinduism and controversy will always together. There is nothing which is accepted by all Hindus other than very few things like “Om,” the sacredness of cow and the sacredness of saffron colour. Like this very few things are only accepted by all Hindus non-controversially. Same way, almost all Hindus non-controversially accept Kapila’s sankhya as the oldest philosophy. Kapila as the oldest philosopher. From sankhya evolves yoga, Purva Mimamsa, Uttara Mimamsa, Nyaya, Vaisheshika \- all the various thought currents, philosophies. Sankhya is all about giving you powerful cognitions through which you can start operating.

As the spiritual head Mahamandaleshwar of Mahanirvani Peetha, I bow down to Bhagavan Kapila who is our Adi Guru, who is the founder of our sampradaya. And we also offered today bandara in the Mahanirvani Peetha, for all the sadhus on behalf of our sangha on Kapila Shasti. And we also have bandara in Adi Kailaasa. Let us offer our respects, reverence and devotion to Bhagavan Kapila and then continue the satsang. We’ll have the arti and puja to Bhagavan Kapila then we’ll continue the satsang.

(Puja and arti to Bhagavan Kapila starts)

By offering our respects to Bhagavan Kapila, let’s continue the satsang. Today we have one more wonderful thing, on this auspicious Kapila Shasti, Kapila’s Avatara Dinotsava, Kapila’s Avatar Day \- we are inaugurating Paris Aadheenam. A new aadheenam in Paris and blessings to the Paris sangha. Auspicious occasion for Paris Aadheenam. And, let the Paramashiva bless Paris and the whole France and ultimately whole world by being in the Paris Aadheenam and guiding every one of you. My blessings. Let the Paris Aadheenam become successful. Blessings to all of you \- Shankarananda, Vishoka, Floren, Jennifer, Emily, Asino, Marianne and thousands of aadheenavasis going to come and become part of the Paris Aadheenam. Blessings to all of you.

Kapila is one of the most compassionate teacher, Master, incarnation. See if I have to define sankhya \- most beautiful, most sweet, rulesless, powerful cognitions which can bring order in your life and ultimate experience in you life, understand. The whole sankhya karika, the whole \>\>\> of Kapila, not even a single rule or law exists. He’s just pure powerful cognitions. If you apply, automatically you will evolve a beautiful powerful space and in order. Order which evolves without any spelled rules, regulations, laws, is the best way to exist. I visualise, imagine, fantasise all our aadheenams to be in the footsteps of Kapila. Just carrying the powerful cognitions, human being living in order. No need for laws and law enforcement. No need for rules and regulations. When people don’t want to carry the powerful cognitions as lifestyle, then comes the stupid arrangements of mediocre substitute which is call rules, regulations. Kapila is one of the most compassionate, beautiful being. Just by powerful cognitions, He was able to make an order in human beings. He was able to make an order and He was able to make people manifest powerful cognitions and powers. Today or tomorrow, any one day, we should reach what Kapila is trying to tell us, what Bhagavan Kapila is trying to teach us, what Bhagavan Kapila is trying to show us \- just by making powerful cognitions as your inner software; you go on, go on, go on.

One of the biggest problems human beings face in their spiritual journey or in their life journey, getting confused about these choices \- either over choice or under choice, either overpaid or underpaid, either oversexed or undersexed, either over pleasured or under pleasured. Understand. The idea of choices should become redundant in your life. That should not play a major role in your existence. Idea of powerful cognitions should be the source of inspiration, fuel for you \- not the idea of choices in front of you, understand.

Life is continuous expansion. If you think it is in length and breadth, depth expansion \- you will feel like Universe is becoming bigger and bigger and bigger. So, more choices means you are growing more. No\! Actual expansion is not in the size, shape but in the frequency of consciousness, depth of existence. Don’t think Universe is like a egg and slowly becoming like a pumpkin. No\! Egg hatching inside, not egg becoming pumpkin \- egg becoming hen. Understand, there is a big difference. When the hen happens, you open the egg that is different. Shivam, causeless auspiciousness and continuous expansion is not hen becoming pumpkin. It is seed becoming tree. Hen, sorry\! Egg becoming hen, is not egg becoming pumpkin. Is egg becoming hen. The depth of existence. Let me repeat. The expansion, continued expansion of the Universe is not like egg becoming pumpkin, it’s like a egg becoming hen.

Choices are not freedom. Depth of existence is freedom. As long as you believe choices are freedom, you have done a terrible mistake in your life \- you are in tirobhava, delusion. Try your best, you may have the whole world in front of you as choices \- you will only be in depression. That does not bring fulfilment to existence. That depth of existence brings fulfilment to existence. Means, you have developed depth to your feeling about your existence \- you. How you feel about you is more deeper. How you feel and perceive as your purpose becomes deeper. How you celebrate the fulfilment of your purpose becoming deeper. That depth is the real completion and expansion. Not choices. Persons who feel choices are expansion is waiting to end up in depression, understand. Choices are expansion is a silly conversation, silly concept. Come on\! Now the whole thing is over\! We have exploited all possible choices. Practically every choice possible, imaginable \- is available.

That is why by thirty men are depressed. Human beings are depressed by forty. Thirty depression starts. Forty depression settles. And now you are tired of your depression. Enough of money, enough of pleasures, enough of perversions \- everything is available. What will you do more than these? Understand, the thought current \- choices are freedom is going to destroy whole humanity. Intensity depth is freedom, is going to liberate humanity. That depth with which you start existing, that depth with which you experience whether sensory pleasures or your psychological pleasures or pains or the way you exist and cognise yourself and the Universe and the source \- God. The way you cognise these three is depth \- is the real freedom and expansion.

More and more beings becoming more and more deeper with the depth is the real conscious expansion. Shivam means causeless auspiciousness, constantly expanding. That does not mean Universe is like a egg and it is becoming like a pumpkin. No\! It is alchemistry happening inside. Of course, I wanted to tell you clearly, I wanted to put this on record. Even in length, breadth, depth \- expansion is happening. But, that is negligible if you consider the expansion happening in the level of consciousness. As I said when the hen happens inside the egg, he is going to break the shell of the egg. So length, breadth, depth also \- there is expansion. But, the real expansion is inside in the depth, understand. Whether the pindanda, the body you carry or the Brahmanda, the Universe you perceived. Whether the pindanda, the body you carry or the Brahmanda, Universe which carries you \- in both, real expansion is the depth. Not choices.

Biggest delusion for human beings is you are being taught and told choices are freedom, choices are expansion. If you have more choices, you are successful is the stupid idea. I am not against choices. But I am against thinking choices as the ultimate solution for life. With choices, you may be over choiced or under choiced, you may be over pleasured or under pleasured, you may be overpaid or underpaid, you may be over sexed or under sexed, understand. Choices in length, breadth, depth is not freedom. If you experience powerful cognitions as your existence and your depth raises. I can give you one small example. Fundamental truths from Kapila \- karma theory, reincarnation theory, your existence is eternal, these great truths \- just try to chew them inside. That depth they can cause, the understandings they can cause, the liberation they can give \- cannot be compared to any amount of choices, understand.

I am giving you the precise example and instructions. Whether you have multiple choices or you don’t have \- try this simple experiment. Few days try to use these powerful cognitions for your operational purposes. Means, to decide what you need to do everyday in your life. Instead of operating from the agitation, the fever of day to day life, operate from the powerful cognitions like you have eternal time in front of you. Either you do it today or you do it tomorrow, you have time, you cannot perish. You can’t perish. You can’t be destroyed. You have to be alive till you realise you are eternally alive. Understand, you have to be alive till you realise you are eternally alive. Till you realise you are a liberated being, you have to be alive. If you are alive, be assured you cannot be eliminated. There can’t be a space where you don’t exist.

Anything can be removed from you is just simple chemical hormonal ups and downs which comes by a cup of coffee or seeing two minutes pornography. Understand, anything which can be removed from you is only a simple effect of coffee. Nothing more that. Nothing more than that. If you drink cup of coffee, the high you feel can be taken away from you. If you see a porn, the high you feel can be taken away from you. Nothing else can be taken away from you. Your existence cannot be taken away from you. Start operating from this. That kind of the order you will develop in your life will be beyond any stupid morality, any stupid social systems influence.

Very simple things \- your existence is eternal. You are going to take next next next births based on the cognitions you cherished most when you lived in this body. When you lived in this body, the most consciously cherished cognitions, understand. Unconsciously cherished cognitions have no power over you. For example, if you have been unconsciously eating, eating, eating, eating, eating \- don’t worry. The moment the jathara agni, digestion fire stops in your body \- no sins associated to eating comes with you. The moment you stop drinking means the system stops digesting liquid \- all the actions and karma related to drinking drops and it cannot come with you. Understand, I am talking very responsibly. I am not telling go and drink. I am not telling go and eat what you want. If you go and eat what you want, you may have obesity. But, you are not going to carry that karma with you or you are not going to be tortured somewhere in the hell. If you drink, you may die because of liver failure, liver cirrhosis. But, the karma is not going to come and you are not going to be tortured somewhere in some hell or anything. Be very clear, the hormonal ups and downs is different. Your eternal existence is different.

If you steal dollar, the land in which the dollar is valuable \- you will be punished. Not in the land which dollar has no value. If you steal gold, the land in which gold is valuable \- you will be punished as per the land’s rules. But not in the place where the space itself is gold\! Why will you be punished in Kailasa if you steal gold in Bhuloka? No\! Understand, your eternal existence is beyond anything which can be taken away from you. If you understand that, if that powerful cognition becomes your operating software \- I tell you, you will understand depth is liberation. Not choices. Depth is freedom. Not choices. Choices are not freedom. Depth is freedom. The way you exist will be freedom. Free beings living together is Kailaasa. Free beings living together is Kailaasa, understand. We can make Kailaasa, if we can rub the right sides of the human beings. Everyone is waiting to manifest Kailaasa. Everyone is interested in Kailaasa. All aadheenams are fundamentally training center for you to make your Kailaasa manifest.

If you start operating from the powerful cognitions, the kind of order you will evolve in your economic principles, in your caring-sharing principles, in your relationship values, in your health, the mental setup, the jealousy, ups and downs \- in all these you will evolve a kind of beautiful order. Neither ruling nor ruled. Neither arrogant or humble. You will evolve such powerful order, if you start operating from these powerful cognitions. I request and recommend strongly all of you start operating, manifesting more and more powerful cognitions which raises the depth of existence, which gives you the taste of real freedom. I tell you, if you have not seen multiple choices and you believe choices are freedom \- you are innocent stupid. If you have seen enough choices and still you believe choices are freedom \- you are ignorant stupid. But anybody believe choices are freedom \- stupid. Simple stupid. Depth of existence is freedom. The operation with which you operate, the powerful cognitions with which you operate, the operating softwares which operates you \- that decides the freedom.

If you have a hundred acre, again you will feel just the next twenty acre if I add, it will be really wonderful. And you have two hundred acre, instead of twenty acre, hundred more acres comes to you \- two hundred acre, again you will be standing near the fence. “Can I make just hundred more acre? Tsk\! It will be really three hundred acre. Amazing\! More than my father. My father had only two hundred and seventy five. Tsk\! If I have three hundred, I’ll cross my father’s number.” If suddenly instead of three hundred, five hundred \- again you will standing in the fence only. Standing near the fence and looking at the other side of the fence and thinking you should have that \- is a simple stupid human behaviour. Anywhere you want to identify \>\>\> Bharatns, I can give you three things. One, they will always order not by seeing the menu card but by seeing other’s plate. Second, whether it is a bus or a train or a flight \- window seat. Third, even...third one I will drop it (Swamiji laughing). It’s a little dirty. No need, so… Understand, by nature whether you own ten acre or ten thousand acre, you will be looking the other side of the fence, standing near the fence \- “How can I make this fence larger?” That is not freedom. Operating from powerful cognitions and increasing that depth of your frequency \- the way you exist is freedom. Realising your ups and downs does not decide your life.

I tell you, one of the best thing happened in my life is the very young age, these powerful cognitions have been taught to me. Again and again I overflow with the gratitude to my Gurus, all the great Siddhas who supported me. I can see the modern day what all people go through. Seeing that I can understand how the powerful cognitions becoming your inner software, that depth of existence liberates you. Essence of the message of Kapila Muni, Bhagavan Kapila Muni is \- depth of your existence is freedom, not choices. Essence of today's satsang \- depth of your existence is the real freedom. Raising your frequency to the higher levels of existence through powerful cognitions is the real freedom, not the choices. There are wonderful power cognitions about life, existence, Universe, God \- make them as your operating software. Cognise and make decisions about what, why, when, how, everything, based on these powerful cognitions \- that is freedom, not choices.

Ironing out your thought currents with the powerful cognitions is called sankhya. Whether to eat a sweet, even as ten year old boy, such simple decisions like whether to eat a sweet or not, whether to go out and play or not \- I took from the powerful cognitions. Even those simple decisions, whether to wear this dress or not, whether to go to some place or not, whether to engage with somebody, have friendship or not \- all these was from powerful cognitions. And I tell you, again and again and again I am feeling grateful for those my Gurus who instilled the habit of operating from the powerful cognitions as my lifestyle. It’s not that the time I really like them. But, the greatest sacrifice a Guru does \- he loves you even when you hate him. That’s the ultimate sacrifice. And that makes me melt, even now when I remember them. All the Tamil bad words I know, I have used it on my Gurus. That is why now all you guys are using it on me. It’s the karma coming back, nothing else.

But now when I remember everyone of them, my whole being overflows for what they have done to me. Even when I hated them, they did not hate me, they did not give up on me \- they made me to start operating from powerful cognitions. Even simple decisions like whether to eat a candy or not, whether to start talking to somebody or not, whether to engage friendship with somebody or not \- everything they made me operate from the powerful cognitions. Now I realised it, what they have done is something extraordinary. As I said only Guru can love you, even when you hate him. That’s the biggest sacrifice a person can do \- my Gurus have done that to me and I will do that to you guys. I have seen how they supported me. My resistance was irrelevant for them. That’s the most beautiful thing. My resistance was irrelevant for them\! They did not care about it even for a penny. They just brush it aside.

And that’s such amazing to be brought up by that kind of Gurus and who have such power over me. The whole society was such, they have complete control and power over me \- to make me realise what I am. They were able to really get into my system and make the powerful cognitions as operating software. I tell you, if I have to walk extra mile \- I’ll remember the patience Arunagiri Yogishwara showed on me, Raghupati Yogi showed on me, and all these great Siddhas who groomed me, showed towards me. I’ll remember all of them and walk that extra mile to each of you guys, and make you understand \- operating from the powerful cognitions is freedom. Depth of your being is freedom, not the choices.

So with this I bless you all. Let’s all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, Enriching, Causing, Living Shuddhadvaita Saivam, Paramashivoham, The Eternal Bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. Be blissful.
