Jai Sadama, everyone. This is Sadhvi Sadheli Sri, here with my spiritual teacher and guru, acharya Sri Yogish, for the 2023 Paryushan series of Acharya Sri's podcast. Acharya Sri is a respected, enlightened one who has helped thousands of souls progress on their spiritual path and totally transform. Paryushan is an eight-day celebration of the soul, dedicated to reflection, fasting and spiritual learning. Welcome to all of our new listeners and thank you for tuning in Paryushan.
Speaker 2:Purve. Paryushan Purve is a very important celebration in the this whole world. Actually, everybody is in the that mode that they want to be close to themselves. They find out who they are, the self. To know the self is very important because if you don't know who you are, you will be lost in this world. And people are getting lost again and again and again because sometimes we think how we have this life, we can enjoy it. I'm not saying not to enjoy it. Life is not only to enjoy it. Life is get to. There is only one purpose of the human life, especially to know yourself exactly who you are. Otherwise this life will be useless, it goes, it is wasted, because this is the opportunity you have given to you and this opportunity is very rare. According to Indian culture, there are 8.4 million lives. After that you achieve the human life. After 8.4 million lives.
Speaker 2:Maybe you were wondering somewhere in the amoeba bacteria, the most souls we found in the algae. If you have seen the green algae, it comes on the, sometimes on the pond water, where the water stays along, or in the muddy area. That algae, they say, if you put even one finger, it has infinite living being there and you will be shocked. They say we don't kill anyone, we don't take even the medicine, medicine which is like conventional medicine, which is our allopathic medicine that they usually test on animals. They put a lot of animal stuff in it. But what about the homeopathic, homeopathic medicine? They think it is not wireless Homeopathic medicine. It is done by the algae and in the algae it is even. You put your own finger in that area, in this much area. That is an infinite soul bacteria and it is visible. These days we have advanced technology.
Speaker 2:Before when, 2600 years ago, mahavira was talking about this. Mahavira was the 24th Tirthankar enlightened master in India and he was an extraordinary person. His height was almost 12 feet. It is just recently one person died. He had 8 feet height, 8 feet long. So 2600 years ago, when he was born, it was amazing period of time. It was war around everywhere, the kings. They were fighting each other. As soon as he was born, at least there was peace and he was talking about that.
Speaker 2:I have seen this in algae, like even one. He was talking about even one needle. Forget, I am talking about the finger. Even you place the needle on it. In that space is infinite living being. That's why this Sansar. This universe is never ending. It is. It is going to forever. Many souls. They are getting enlightened, they merge with God, but many more to come. It is always there. It is never going to end because the soul going to improve little by little. They come from the algae to more bacteria. Maybe they will come into the water.
Speaker 2:Water has little, less living being. Do you think that you are living without living being? You cannot survive. It is written in the Indian scriptures Jeeva Jeeva Se Bhujna, that whoever is here, they are eating other living being. Without eating other living being you nobody can survive.
Speaker 2:There is no water. What is water? Hto, h2o. What is H2O? It is a life. Water is a life and if we drink dead water it is not nutritious enough. So if the water is kind of polluted I am not saying that you just get straight water from the stream or from somewhere and think it is a crystal clear water it can be some kind of living being in it. And if you do it and if you swallow that water it might create trouble. You are lucky if it doesn't happen.
Speaker 2:But that's why in the Perusion times, specially everybody. They think that water you can drink, but drink it hot water. You boil it after that let it cool down. When you boil the water, all the living being. What is the water actually?
Speaker 2:Water is the body of the living being. Our body is little solid. Their body is very fragile but it is in bacteria. Their body is very fragile, liquidy and in one drop of water when 2600 years ago he saw at least not countable living being, they we call it asankya. Count it is, asankya means it is like beyond your counting. But now the scientists believe now in one glass of water there is millions bacteria. Can you believe you have to take million bacteria into your body? But that water has to be live. If it is dead water, like hot water, no living being in it, so you can drink it, you can survive it, but it has no nutrition in it. Nutrition is only when it is living being there.
Speaker 2:But why they boil the water? Why we suggest to boil the water? Because if it is anything else except bacteria, there must be the watery spoil. Already it got rotten. Can you believe if you drinking the water from the water plastic bottle and that's what people think it is a fresh water In the plastic bottles? If you are buying those you don't know when they are packed up, number one, and after a while in the plastic bottle it will going to create trouble, because water cannot stay forever fresh. It will begin to spoil and if you will see, there must be little algae in it. But it is the color of water algae. Usually it is a green, but in the bottle and if somebody will drink that water it is a big trouble in the body Because your body is not able to digest that water.
Speaker 2:It happened to me. I was in Paris and I am usually very careful. Not even I will travel not to drink water. I am knowingly. They gave me water bottles and I was little bit not careful. I drink the water. I got first time very sick, my all muscles, I was not even. I didn't have even to walk. I couldn't walk and it's. My body was totally hurt. So what can happen? I was eating food, very good food there. Home made everything carefully, except I think the water was bottled water. Now I think if I go to somewhere else, even bottled water, you first boil it and then let it cool down, you can drink that water Even though all the bacteria, which is nutrition, into the water it still it got killed. So you are putting in your body dead water, but that is the law of the universe. After 3 and half hours, or 3 hours later, it began to grow bacteria in the water. Same, but at least it will not grow other kind of living being there, only water bacteria. And water bacteria is very nutritious for your body. Your body needs it. If you don't, if you are lacking the good bacteria in your body, you will be sick forever. You need a good bacteria. That's what I call Jeevo Jeeva Sabha Jinn. Everybody is eating everybody else. There is no way to survive.
Speaker 2:Somebody asks In India, the Jain monks that are you totally non-violent? He says yes, I took five Mahabharatas, five great vows. Non-violence is my first great vow that I, no matter what happens, I am not going to kill anyone, no matter what situation. Even I am not still going to kill anyone. Even I am in that situation that there is no food available. I will rather die, but I will not kill any other living being for my own hunger. Somebody asked this question to Mahavir, 2600 years old, same question, and Mahavir has said I am not 100% non-violent. See, that is the difference between the people who are ignorant and they think they know it and the person who is enlightened. Their answer will be totally different. That's, if we don't see you, you even renounced your clothes. We don't see you kill anyone, right, he said.
Speaker 2:But I breathe and your air? What is air? H2o? There are more than 700,000 gases in our, in this atmosphere Minimum 700,000, it can be more and they are all with the living being. They are all alive. Oxygen is alive, but they are alive in their own way. They have little, little bacteria. It is not visible to our eyes but if you get inside you can see the air too.
Speaker 2:I was in California. One girl came to me and she said I am very disturbed. I said what happened to you that whenever I go I see in the like the air is hanging like this. I see I don't know what it is and I have hard time to breathe. I see they are alive. That I have to take a life and say it is a natural process. Even till Thangkaras they have to breathe, no matter till this body is there.
Speaker 2:You can minimize the violence, but you cannot 100% be nonviolent. Even Tirthankara said I am not 100% nonviolent and their followers, monks, was asked in India. They say I am nonviolent and nobody can be nonviolent till the body is there, because your body has a heat and around the air Air temperature is different, your body temperature is different. They are so fragile. Even you are not breathing your body will still kill them. Now how can you be 100% nonviolent? The real spiritual people are they try to minimize the violence.
Speaker 2:Like I tell people drink water, use water, because without using we cannot survive. But don't waste it. If you are wasting you are a violent person. Like you can have the water you take a shower, you wash your clothes, you drink it, you cook it into it, that you are using it. But if you are wasting your faucet leaking, nobody is using it, so it is kind of wasted. Try not to waste anything if you are using it. If you are using it, it is okay. So you are trying to minimize the violence everywhere in the water In general.
Speaker 2:In the beginning they considered the water is upkaya. They call it upkaya. Up means waterkaya means body. Water has a body and I went to first time by Stoney Stoney is our center there and they took me because I knew that let's take, we will show you around everything. They took me to the forest and as we entering to the forest. Beautiful little country, but beautiful country. So when we were entering, the car didn't allow to go there, so we have to park the car and entering there was written First thing I said what is written in the Stoney language. They translate for me Don't disturb water body. This is the first time I have seen after India, in one country they consider water is a body. Don't disturb water body. What people do? They go to the lake, they go to the river and they start throwing the rocks, stones, whatever, and children do it all the time. So it means we are disturbing it. You can use it. River doesn't say not to use me. Right, use it, but don't disturb it.
Speaker 2:If you are disturbing, you are interfering in their life. Don't disturb using it, because nobody can survive without living being. Even your oxygen is alive. If it is not alive, we cannot be alive either. Did you ever pray for oxygen? You pray to God. Did you ever thank to the oxygen? Because of oxygen you are alive. Real prayer is, if you are dependent on someone, say thank you. Thank you for the oxygen. Without oxygen you will not be alive at all. Go to moon. It will take only three seconds to die there Because no oxygen. Here they are thinking about it, they found it, but still it is very difficult to go without oxygen. It takes only few seconds to become, if they don't take their own oxygen Right, because brain needs constant oxygen and brain is the one which keeps you alive. So they learn those things. Everywhere, no matter where you go, is a living being. Don't disturb it as much as possible. Everything, all nature, is very much giver. It gives you.
Speaker 2:If you have seen trees, trees, when they don't have a flower, when they don't have anything, no blossoming. All the branches are very high. Then they begin to sprout flowers, then fruit, and the fruit begins to grow. And when it is time to ripe the fruit, you know what happened to the branches? Branches go down. It is inviting you hey, I have a lot of fruit, you can come and pick them. If you cannot climb, branches will go even more down. If nobody is taking that fruit, then tree will drop. That's it. I did my job. Nobody is taking it.
Speaker 2:Look at be like a tree. He is a giver, he is always giving it and amazing thing is, the tree is standing on one place and sometimes tree years is thousand years. Can you believe that you stand on one place for even five days and own one leg Tree is standing only one, one trunk. We call it one leg and thousand years. Sometimes Banyan tree has thousand years, says People tree in India they have thousand years, says there are many trees thousand years. But trees, many kind of trees too. It is not only one kind of tree, they are giver, they are taker too. A lot of trees. Be careful.
Speaker 2:If you go to African jungle there are trees. In English they say something you can find out. Their leaves are like very sharp. As soon as a bird goes under that tree, all the leaves they come and they open up the leaves and the bird is sitting inside and they eat it. The tree eats it. It is a meat eater. Can you believe? If any animal goes, all the leaves they will go down and suck the blood and eat it.
Speaker 2:What about if a human goes? There is gone. There are trees. They are growing, they are improving. Also, they are going towards. They have more sensation, they have more life, they are more alive. But usually trees are very giver. The best thing about the trees they are still giving us the oxygen, oxygen. Without oxygen we will not survive and trees are the one who gives the most oxygen in the world. That's what we say. The lacking of the tree, no rain, no oxygen. H2o, hydrogen plus oxygen makes a water right, that's what it happens. As to the trees, they give you a lot of your life, not only the food, they give you oxygen. That's what I suggest to people.
Speaker 2:If you live somewhere, you have to plant trees around your house, maybe 20 feet away. It doesn't disturb your foundation of tree the roots. If it is too close it might disturb, because you live in luxuries houses. There was no system before. If you go to 100, 200 years ago, there was no system of like sink inside or this, or the plumbing or there is anything. The plumbing roots can break your plumbing to these days. So it is have it real little bit further. If you have a 15, 20 feet away from your house, but plant it.
Speaker 2:I think the more oxygen, more rain. We need it. If we have more rain, we need to plant tree around the whole world. There is a joke One lady. She said if you, the people who are drinking of wine, just if you tell them that we, if you will plant one tree, we will give you one bottle of wine. If you plant one tree that by, I swear to God, the whole whole earth will be green right away, because people are people, the people who want to drink the wine. How, one bottle, one tree we'll plant the whole earth will be green right away. It is a joke, but this is real joke.
Speaker 2:Real joke is we need greenery and without greenery we cannot survive. Perusion is the time to minimize the violence. Minimize the violence Whatever you can do Possible. What can you do If you don't want to even try not to eat? Why? Because you minimize the violence. What jans do? At least they don't have to starve. But what do they do? We will not eat in the pollution, any green stuff. Like they will not buy green vegetables, fruits or anything from the market. At least we want to give a little bit. They can relax all greenery. So eight days if you go to the jans home, no vegetables in your food. Everything is whatever is available in their home.
Speaker 2:That's what they do, they try to minimize the violence. At least they are on the right direction and the person who is on the right direction. One day it is possible that they will reach the highest level one day, higher consciousness they can live. That's what I was talking about. Ishibhasya Sutta, that, like the head, is important. Into your body, like the root of the tree, is very important. Same way, meditation is very important. Meditation, all spiritual practices, among all spiritual practices, jhanam taha, jhanam vidhi yate, meditation is very important. And what is meditation? I was telling you, meditation is like the salt dissolve into the water. As soon as salt dissolve into the water, salt disappears. It becomes like a water. Same way, all your mind, all your thoughts, all your negative or positive thoughts, they both have to be dissolved. When you are both both things, everything duality is gone. It means your mind is one. First, make your mind, because your mind is many kind of minds. That's what I was trying to tell you yesterday that we have many different kind of mind. A child has different, a young person has different, grown up person has different Our mind. You cannot count how many types of mind we carrying it. First you make anekchit. Make one If you can make how I am going to give you technique. The best technique for the meditation is a very simple. It's called tratka. Tratka is a very efficient yogic technique. I don't know how they discover it, but it's the best technique I have.
Speaker 2:You have a white page, blank page. In the center of the page you put a 25 cents quarter and make a circle around the quarter Quarter size circle in the center of the page. Fill up with the black ink. It becomes a black dot, quarter size black dot. Hang that paper to the wall, sit in front of it, make sure the black dot and your eyes are the same level. Adjust the paper so it becomes same height, like your eyes, and make sure your eyes distance between your dot and eyes minimum 2 feet, maximum 3 feet. And you don't have to do anything.
Speaker 2:The meditation will begin to happen right away. How? Because your different kind of minds becomes one. It's a very simple technique. You look at it, don't blink your eyes and people think, hey, if you don't blink it is going to hurt Eyes. Eyes, doesn't get hurt If you blink it. It is the best technique for the meditation. If you don't blink it. You look at it. That black dot when you look at it, make sure there is no fan around or air condition blowing on your eyes. That can hurt. But if simple, no wind, no air blowing towards you, and you look at it, when you look at it, what is going to happen After a minute, two minutes later, you are all thoughts, you are all kind of mind becomes one.
Speaker 2:You are all thoughts. They begin to flow one direction Because it is scattered everywhere. Now it is flowing one direction and I call it one pointedness. When your thoughts flow in one direction, you become almost one mind. When your mind is one direction, it has lot of power. Mind is the biggest power you have. It is more than nuclear power Mind. It has that much power it can blow up the whole world. Luckily you don't know how to misuse it. I am going to tell you just to use it for the good purpose. Make it your mind one.
Speaker 2:When your thoughts begin to flow one direction, they have a lot of power and you can use that power for your constructive way. Like, suppose you practice this practice for six months, 15 to 20 minutes a day, not much, you just see it. If you are IT people, you are on the computer, you have to finish that project and project takes maybe eight hours. You will be surprised. Same project After six months. You finish within six hours, two hours gap. Why? Because you practice it and when you practice it your mind adjusts right away in one direction. In one direction. When your thought flows in one direction, you will be surprised. Lot of power, other power. What can you do?
Speaker 2:Like sun rays. Sun rays, very much scattered, trillions of rays, trillions. Not much power. Accepting taxes, please, just Sometimes too much sun, hot sun.
Speaker 2:You have to have a cowboy hat Because you want to also protect your soldiers too, so they go out. If they go out without hat, maybe it will going to burn you alone. It can harm you, but usually sun doesn't harm much, doesn't have much power. Bad If you collect fewer rays of the sun, it has lot of power. How you going to collect it and flow in one direction. How you collect? Maybe with the magnified glass. If you have magnified glass, even tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny magnified glass, it will go in one direction, one degree rays, maybe 30 rays, and it creates fire. If you go to the forest you don't have a match, you don't have anything lighter and you need to cook something. If you have a magnify glass, it works. Collect few rays, it creates fire. You can cook something, right. So that's what it is.
Speaker 2:Mind is like that Mind when it becomes one mind, an ek chit becomes one chit. We call it chit in Sanskrit. So an ek chit, different kind of minds. If it becomes one, it is called one point and it means your meditation begins and your all thoughts are going to dissolve like the salt into the water, dissolve and when the thoughts dissolve, everything it becomes totally different. Then your meditation begins, and meditation it is thoughtlessness state. Your thought disappears, your thought dissolves, your thoughts totally go on and when thoughts are gone, you are in the totally peaceful state, totally calmness, totally tranquility. I will call it. It's totally tranquility. It is like you go to the under the ocean. On the surface it is lot of high tides, lot of noise, like ocean is roaring.
Speaker 2:If you go to the full moon time it's a roar kind of People love it when they go to the ocean. Wow, beautiful, high tides, right, but it's roaring. You stay there maybe 8 hours. You will get disturbed by that noise, right, but when you go for a while it seems very good, everything seems beautiful. But if on the surface, on the periphery, it is very lot of noise, same thing On the top, on the surface, in our head periphery, on the surface there is lot of noise. In your head there is always lot of noise, lot of thoughts, like the ocean, same thing. It's not a big difference between you and the ocean. Maybe you are even more than the ocean. Right, ocean is roars when the moon Full moon, but human is the only one Roars all the time. They cannot stop. They cannot stop One wife.
Speaker 2:She was asking her husband if you have a choice to marry. That is an option I am going to give you To marry someone. He is a dark girl, a white girl, a beautiful girl, a educated girl or very much working girl, what you will choose. He was already married. He said just just I am kind of want to know what kind of person are you. I told you you didn't give me one option more that. What is the option that you forgot. Give me one more option. What one Mute that you didn't give me the option mute, I will marry that, right? Well, she got so angry because she was always talking to you, right? That's what happened with the people.
Speaker 2:I am telling you, when you are in the total calmness, total tranquility it is called tranquility you go under the ocean, go 100 feet down. What you will see water even doesn't move On the surface. There is a big noise Underneath you. Go 1000 feet down. What you will see there you have goggles there. You can see everything, not even moving is totally total tranquility, total peace, total calmness. Same way, if your head, in your head, there is a mind and it is different kind of mind on ek chit, various types of the mind If it becomes at least one type of mind, I call it one pointedness, and your meditation begins. Trotka is the best way to start meditation and it doesn't hurt your eyes On the top. You will get lot of power because it is hidden inside of you and you don't know what is your power.
Speaker 2:You are always begging from the God. God, give me this, god give me this. God give me this. God already gave you, but you don't recognize it and the time you recognize it is your time is over.
Speaker 2:One man became a friend with the God of the Death. We call it Yamraj, yamaka Sanskrit there are different names. The God sent a messenger. That messenger's name is called Yamaka Yamraj in our language. It comes to you and take away your life.
Speaker 2:So one person he was sitting around and suddenly a beggar came and the beggar asked hey, I am very thirsty, can you give me the water? The person got so angry and he said hey, you disturbed me. I was working some kind of. He went to the other person. He was kind of enjoying the sun, but he had the water. He asked him can you give, take it, take it whatever? He said thank you.
Speaker 2:Do you know who am I? I don't know, but I know only I save your life. You were thirsty. You could have died in this scorching hot. He said I am Yamraj. I said you, yamraj? Okay, I want friendship with you. Then you promise you will never take to me? I said yeah, I want, we are friends, but I give you warning at least Before I come, that at least give me the warning that this is my duty. I will still come, but I give you at least warning. Okay, if you give the warning, that is the best thing. So let's see if you are passive. He said okay, what is my trust that I am giving you this book?
Speaker 2:He gave the book and you have only five minutes and in five minutes you decide otherwise and whatever you will wish, I will give you today Whatever you wish, okay. First page he opened. It was written today your neighbor is going to whatever you will write on the page, you will get it today. First page he opened. It was written your neighbor is getting ten million dollars. Lot of winner. No, this is not right. Don't let him win, right. Second page he opened that your neighbor, which is always it's your competitor, always compete with you. He's getting promotion today. No, promotion, right, that's what happened. We want to ourselves everything, everything we want for ourselves. Third page it was written something else. It was given five minutes to write something, right, and by the time he was condemning, he was reading everything, because he was in another page it was empty page. At least he began to write he took his pen away that your five minutes is over. You wasted all your five minutes from the others, that I cannot help you. You had a opportunity to be a whatever you wish today, but you lost it.
Speaker 2:Bill Gates, a very wise person. No wonder he is a billionaire. One lady she went to him that hey, you are billionaire, I want to be rich. Give me some kind of things so I can be rich. He said you want to be rich? He gave her a blank check. That right, whatever you want, whatever number you want. He said no, no, no, I want to be rich, not by this way that you are giving me. Give me the technique, take your check back. He took the back and he said tell me now how you can become rich. That look, I gave you the opportunity today to be whatever you wanted, to be billionaire, whatever but you lost this opportunity. I never lose any opportunity in my life, so the opportunities are very much in with you, but we are losing it.
Speaker 2:You become human.
Speaker 2:That's the biggest opportunity to become, to come into the human body.
Speaker 2:It takes 8.4 million lives before to get it.
Speaker 2:This is the highest peak. Actually, human life is like you are standing on, maybe 8.4 million living beings on the top of them. That's what human body's opportunity is. But to get this opportunity, what we waste it Because we waste from to the other. Oh, your neighbor is getting millions. No, no, don't give to him. You wasted to. Really, your neighbor is getting promotion today. No, no, promotion. He's very bad person, right? Everything we waste to for the others, but we don't think about ourselves. If we begin to think about ourselves, I am telling you this is the biggest opportunity. And human is the only body, human body is the only body which has developed mind. And developed mind is a curse because we misuse it. But same time is a blessing If we know how to use it right way. Tratka is to use the right way. When you do this, tratka, you will be surprised that your mind becoming one and to make one mind is very important In the, there are many things to talk about perusion, but when your mind become one in Bhagavad-e-Sutra.
Speaker 2:Bhagavad-e-sutra is one scripture of Jain which is 12 chapters and 10th Gatha. In it, gautam Swami was the chief disciple of Mahavira. He is asking him a question that is a soul is one or soul is many? His question was tell me about the soul Mahavira told in the Bhagavad-e-Sutra. This is, I told you that, 36,000 questions answered there. One of that one, the enlightened one, answered that basically in the, if you will see, they are eight kind of soul.
Speaker 2:I can categorize them. First category is Dravya Atma. Dravya Atma is a gross, gross soul kind of. Dravya Atma means when a Atma is a soul merge with the body. Any kind of body, the human body, our soul is merging it.
Speaker 2:If there is no soul, you are not alive. You are alive because there is somebody is there which is totally aliveness there. The soul has a few symptoms. Soul knows your body doesn't know it. If soul is not inside, your body will not feel hot, cold, right. If this is a light or heavy, if this is a smooth or rough, if this is a hard or soft, who feels it inside the body? Who is alive After dead body?
Speaker 2:The soul is gone and body is still there. Body doesn't feel anything. But, for your knowledge, even person dies. You don't know the secret. I am going to tell you. Even the body is sitting in the mortuary, mortuary house. What do you call that Mortuary house, mortuary, that house? They waiting. Still the dead body is there because it might take to funeral, maybe after 8 days, 10 days, 2 weeks, it depends on right, and they take care of it, the dead body, they clean it everything. But even person dies. You will be surprised. Their nails still grows, their hair still grows, because body is combination of all bacteria. Those bacteria still alive there. People don't know those things. They still grows, their hair grows but they don't feel anything, though it's, a growth is there but feeling is gone because soul is gone.
Speaker 2:So basically, all living being, they have a soul, their own body, they live it. That is called dravvya atma. Animal lives in their body, human lives in their body, birds live in their body, little cockroach live in their body, right, and they all love their own body. That is called dravvya atma. Jiva atma, age soul with the body, any kind of that is dravvya atma and everybody has this, even somebody get enlightened. Same soul there. But it's more clarity If somebody become a siddha, soul is still there, right, become totally free, liberated, merge with God. Even it's still called dravvya atma. It's basically the soul, it's aliveness. Everyone has. That is the first kind of soul it has. Everyone has Second kind of soul category.
Speaker 2:He said it is like a kashaya atma. Kashaya Kashaya means like what we hold inside of us Anger, ego, deceitfulness, greediness. These are kashaya Kashaya means kashiti kashaya. They are polluting your soul and they are coming out of outside of somewhere. You are not born with it, but you got trapped into it. Kashaya atma, the way we laugh, the way we enjoy, the way we become sad, the way we become happy, this is all Kshaya. It is all Kshaya Atma. Kshaya Atma means polluted soul and everyone has this, except the person who got liberated, fully liberated, 100% liberation. Become Siddha. We call it Siddha. Siddha or merge with God. That doesn't have those Kshaya, that is not a call. Kshaya Atma, that is, except them, everyone has a Kshaya Atma.
Speaker 2:Third Gatma is Yogatma. Yogatma means we have a mind, we have a speech, we have a body, mind, body and speech. This is called three kind of yoga, three kind of combination. And this is whoever has it, this most of Atma, most of souls. They have it, they have their body. They have maybe not developed mind. They have their own speech. Even little tiny plant, they have a speech. Do you know that? You can hear them sometime they talk to you. I guarantee you, if you sit with one plant every day, that plant will give you more flowers. If you sit with the tree and think about the good thing about it, you are very good. You give a shade. You give us this Very positive thought. That tree next year will give you lot of roots to you.
Speaker 2:They hear you, they feel you, they sense you, but they don't have a speech like we have, but they talk. It is us. We don't understand them, but they understand you, they catch your vibration. We are so tough, we are so rough, we are so hard, we are so much taken into our desires, lust and this, and that Our body becomes not sensible anymore.
Speaker 2:We wish the way we were born, our body were very sensitive. Now it becomes very tough, we don't even feel. Hey, if a baby is born, it will feel the vibration from the plant, but you don't feel it. If you become that, they can catch your vibration and that tree, that plant, will give lot of beautiful flowers. You will be surprised. You can test it. It is a scientific theory and that's why Mahavira said don't disturb anyone. You can think about good, about others, but don't disturb place. Because if you are negative, if you go near the plant, it is scientific and they have done it and you think about this plant, I am going to kill it. It shakes that plant, but we don't feel it. Right, so it is.
Speaker 2:Everybody is alive, yogatma. Yogatma means they don't have a developed mind. We have more. They don't have a developed body. We have more. They don't have a developed speech. We have more developed speech. That is called Yogatma. And I will suggest you, when you have this human body and you have your mind, your speech and your body, if you want to grow, just have a discipline on them, nothing else. Discipline Very important. Sometimes we slip our discipline. It happened to me. I am going to give my own example.
Speaker 2:I came from India for the first time. I didn't know the English much, but my students in California Indians, only they approached me. Can you teach meditation to the poor people? I always teach it and I knew that much English. I can teach in English, meditation at least. Not maybe conversation or give lectures, but because it is easy steps. So I will teach and they have to do with me. Little practical steps Breathing this, that little exercise and this. You can teach that much I will teach. But they are homeless. We want to feed them. We feel love for them. If you can teach, oh yeah, I will teach.
Speaker 2:I went with them. It was in the park, beautiful weather in Southern California, beautiful weather. They were sitting on the grass. They have my only one chair there for me. All the food was on the table and they were sitting in front of me. The bridge was blowing from their side to my side and I felt uncomfortable. Very bad smell. It suddenly slipped. I became little, not aware, slipped from my mouth.
Speaker 2:What kind of people are you? Just because I didn't know the culture yet First time. One lady screamed we are white trash. I never heard the white trash word. First time I heard trash, how can it be white? I didn't know. It is slang here. I didn't know anything. White trash Organizer came to me.
Speaker 2:Please don't ask question. Can you teach them meditation? They are into the drug he is whispering into my ear. Okay, okay, I told them one hour and after one hour they were really receptive. It's not that they were not, they were enjoying it. I saw it.
Speaker 2:As soon as I finished my meditation class they started serving them food. I told them can you take my chair a little further, because I am coming from that country. You know, maybe it's bothering me little smell Different. I am not used to it. Maybe they are into drug or something. I cannot tolerate that smell.
Speaker 2:But I found out, because I am very sensitive. I found out why they are so poor. I am going to tell you they don't have a discipline on their speech, like I lost it for a while, unknowingly. It happened sometime, but when they were eating they were enjoying the food and they cheered, cheering. I don't know why people, when they eat, they talk and they love to talk and they were talking. I put my ear a little bit. I couldn't believe. Not a single phrase. They cannot make without S and F words In their language. The way they will speak the language? Not a single phrase. They always use words as an F. I was shocked and I found out. No wonder they are poor.
Speaker 2:Let me give you the one secret today If you believe in God, god doesn't like only one thing. God likes everything except bad words. I will suggest you, even you are angry, even in angry way, don't use the bad word, because God doesn't like the bad words. Even you are angry. I am talking about Forget. If you are okay, you are peaceful, you are calm, don't use it. But even you are angry, don't use the bad word. God doesn't like it. It means God doesn't like. God is not giving you what you want. Actually, if you pray to God, they say God gives you. God doesn't give what you wish. You want good thing for you, but God gives. He is a giver, like a tree, he is a whole nature. He is a giver. But God doesn't mean that what you wish, that is good for me. No, no, no. God will give you what will be good for whole of your life. But sometimes we, we just get angry on God. Hey, I ask this and you giving me this right. Sometimes you never know what is going to happen.
Speaker 2:A poor guy. A poor guy. He lives in the forest. He doesn't have anything, he hardly hand to mouth. All the time he works. He works all the time but he doesn't get anything. Somehow he found the way that if I cut the wood and sell it into the market, then I will be rich. Somehow he made a heart and he became so happy that he has a shelter at least and he went to work. That God, you are so much compassionate, so much giver, you give me the heart. And he was working one day and suddenly he saw from far away the heart is in the fire. It was burning. The heart was burning and he got lost. This man was lost. Why? He was in the forest? He got lost. He was a rich man but he got lost somehow and he was not finding the way. What to do? Little bit, here and there. Couple of families, they used to live, he used to sell them. Only he totally was lost. And they were searching him, but it was forest. It was no way to find him. They tried to find him. He was a rich man, helicopters, working, everything. His heart got fire. He was so sad.
Speaker 2:God, what you did? You gave me something and you took away everything from me. He was crying. Suddenly the people came to search him and they found him. They said how did you find me? Fires, we were searching that if there is a fire, there is a person there. Thanks God, I didn't know that. I didn't know. You burned my heart. Look, god, give you what is good for you, but we don't track, organize it. We what we do. Thank God, you are not good Like what you did. You burned my heart. But next day he was saying thanks God, you burned my heart. You never know what is going to happen. God always gives you what is good for you, even suffering, even pain. But we just accuse the God. What you doing with me? I am suffering. Maybe you go through that period of time, you become a fully blossom one day. But if you don't go through that period, of time, you don't know what poverty means.
Speaker 2:In the school a teacher was asking a prince that tomorrow you everybody writes and bring that article. What is poverty? A prince came next day. Give to the teacher that article. That I know a poor man. He was working in our garden. He was a gardener. He was so poor. He is working in the royal garden. He is so poor that he has four children. They used to come. Their clothes were not like us. We used to give our clothes. They were so poor children. The prince doesn't know what poverty means. A gardener of the royal family cannot be a poor. He is not familiar with the real poverty.
Speaker 2:If you don't go through that poverty, you don't go through this ups and downs in your life Maybe God gave you purposely. The outcome will be very beautiful, like the burning the heart he was accusing God and next day he is thanking to the God Right. You never know what is going to happen. So have a discipline on your mind, on your space, on your body. If you don't have a discipline on your body, you keep eating, eating, eating Whatever you like chocolate, chocolate, chocolate or sugar, sugar, sugar. You are going to ruin your pancreas and pancreas is the one who is keeping your life. Pancreas. It is 24 hours producing insulin. But if you keep eating too much sugar, pancreas is the one first who is going to be ruined. You are ruining that little instrument which is producing insulin into your body. Right? And if insulin doesn't merge, doesn't dissolve into your blood, your blood cannot circulate into your body. It requires insulin. Diabetic people they ruin that little pancreas. They have to take shots to merge with the blood. See, god, you don't have justice. I have to take shots every day.
Speaker 2:It is easy to accuse God, but not to accuse yourself, right? Perusion means a day of accusing yourself. Nobody is bad except you. Kabir in India, he wrote 400 years ago that I went to find who is the bad person, that I tried everyone, that I never found a bad person in the whole world, that whenever I try to search myself, to look at myself, I think I am the worst one. That is the perusion's message Look at yourself, don't look at others. It is easy to finger point on the others. You are bad, you are bad, you are bad. But you forgot three finger pointing towards you that you are three times worse.
Speaker 2:Perusion means be aware I all focus on the self, that maybe you in this biggest storage, what you are carrying in this human body's mind. What is called mind is the biggest storage, infinite information in it. If you will start digging that, you will find trillions, trillions of bad stuff there. You need to take them out. How you take them out? Meditation is the biggest fire. That fire, if begin to burn inside of you, that is going to burn all the bad information. That's what I suggest to people Instead of following religious rituals, doing something else, they might help you a little, but if you want to really help yourself, find the real thing, is meditation.
Speaker 2:Meditation. There is no duality in it, only you. There is no hope from others that they will protect me, they will do this, or there is no even little wish, little want from God, because in meditation, your mind is totally dissolved. Now, when mind is dissolved, you are left alone. And when your day will come, you understand 100%. You are alone. And if you begin to live in aloneness, that is the beauty of the human life. Aloneness is the beauty. But if you are lonely, you are suffering. I don't consider loneliness. In loneliness, you are missing others. It means you are not in meditation. And when you are alone, in aloneness, meditation happens automatically. But can you be alone? Totally? Yes, you can. It will create a fire. It will begin to burn all in this biggest storage, at least the bad stuff, and when the bad stuff begins to burn, you need to know all kinds of atmas you are carrying.
Speaker 2:Kashayatma, third one. Before I forget, let me finish at least it Upyogatma, upyogatma in the fourth one. Upyogatma means what is the symptom of the soul? The symptom of the soul is very simple uvavog lakhno aaya. I am repeating in the prakrit language uvavog lakhno aaya. The symptom of the atma or soul is uvavog upiog.
Speaker 2:Upiog means like you know it, like you know that there is a mind, there are thoughts, there is a body. You know it, all this. And there is a speech. If you don't know it, like if you are in an unconscious mind, you don't know it. You are in an unconscious mind. You will know everything that without soul, you will not feel it. If there is a feeling, it means that is upiog. Upiog means you know it. There is a feeling, there is a sensation, you know it. This is called uvavog, that everyone has this kind of atma and siddha has this kind of atma. But if you are with the yog, with your mind, with your speech, with your body, and they are taking you.
Speaker 2:This is the biggest distraction In meditation. You forget all of them for a while. That's called meditation. If you can forget, even for a while. Just try to be alone. Loneness I call it beauty, but don't be lonely. Lonely, you are missing something. When you miss something, you suffer. When you are alone, you enjoy. Loneness is the beauty. And if you can enjoy that, if you can understand that, what is uvavog Right? Knowing what is upiog Right? Vision, what is upiog Right conduct, what is upiog Right?
Speaker 2:Virya Anant, darsha anant virya strength, you are full of. You are the strongest person in the world, but because your strength, it is hidden somewhere. Till you begin to burn, through the meditation, all this garbage which you store since centuries into the biggest storage, into the mind. Mind is the biggest storage. So till you will not know how much strength you have, you can move the whole world in your own one finger. I have that much strength, but you don't know it. You have that If you increase your power inside of you, but you are not aware about it. But the power is hidden inside of you. You have to burn all this stuff first through the meditation. Meditation is the biggest fire and in this upiogatama they begin to sense it, they begin to feel it, they begin to experience it, they begin to realize it. This is upiogatama.
Speaker 2:Next one is jnanatma. Jnan means samyajnana. Samyajnana means right knowledge. People have knowledge and people have a lot of information, but they are wrong information, wrong information they will not take you anywhere. But right information, right knowing, take you in the right direction. Right knowing, right vision and right conduct these are the things. If you can improve in yourself, your soul becomes jnanatma, darshanatma. Next one, sixth one Darshanatma means like you develop your vision so much that without these eyes you begin to see things, because the real eyes are hidden inside of you. Real eyes will be awakened, will be activated by many ways. Meditation is the simplest way. You want to activate your third eye, which is hidden. You better meditate Darshanatma and you will begin to see your own self, the self.
Speaker 2:Next one is charitratma. Charitratma is a seventh. Charitra means conduct. If your behavior, your habits are, you are away from all bad stuff. It means you have a right character, right conduct and right conduct is very important If somebody is following in that right conduct, right behavior, right habit, how to behave with other people, how to behave with yourself. You are all discipline. That's called right conduct, charitratma, and it's viri-atma.
Speaker 2:Viri-atma is you are full of the infinite power and soul has infinite power. If you can do this, if you will, that is categorized. You can improve. Little by little your atma becomes siddhatma-vande. Siddhatma means liberated one. And remember, nobody hindrance, blockages on your way, only you. That's what in uttara-den sutra maybe you remember still I told you in chapter 20 and 36, shloka Appa katta vikattaya. No, no, sorry, appa nahi vairani, appa me kudasamali, appa kamaduhadhenu, appa menandhanam vanam. Chapter 20 and 36, Gatha, you will write Appa nahi vairani, your atma, the self, is your river of bhaitharani. In the river it is.
Speaker 2:In Christian scriptures, muslim scripture, hindu scripture, jain scripture, baud scripture they write that in the hell there is a river. The name of the river is vaitarani. Vaitarani means it looks so beautiful and in the hellish living being they are always thirsty. They want water. And who is making them suffer? They are very kind of bad angels. They are on the duty. They make them suffer and they enjoy it. When they scream, when they cry, when they cry with the pain, they say I am thirsty, there is a river. Can you take me there? Oh, yeah, you can take. They take them there. As soon as they put the water it is like a lava. But it looks like a water. It is so hot. His hands get burned in lava, what do you think? But it looks like a river. They say drink now water. You brought us from far away. I don't want to drink, I don't want to. I am okay thirsty. They just dump his whole body into the water.
Speaker 2:But hellish beings, their body is totally different than us. Their particles, all pieces, can be separate. They grab their body again and they put all pieces together. It becomes again the body. Their body is totally different. They don't have a bones. Just separate them, cut them. They have a pain, like us, somebody cutting our body, but then put them together. They become again body. That is the way.
Speaker 2:Nobody wants to go to hell. Luckily, all human beings ask them. When even the person who was a murderer, killer their children. They, coming back from the funeral, that, hey, what happened to your father? He went to heaven. Nobody says he went to heaven. Everybody says he went to heaven. Everybody says he went to heaven. He is in peace. Now. If everybody goes to heaven, what is going to happen? I was in New York one time. There were couple of children. They said can you watch TV with us? I said, hey, I don't watch TV, I just invited for dinner. Please, please, it is a very good show. I said what is the show name? Everybody loves Raymond. Why do? Everybody loves him. I didn't want to break their heart. Okay, I will sit with you. Oh, it is coming just five minutes. Dinner will be late, okay, okay okay, I will sit with you.
Speaker 2:I watched Raymond comes from the job. In that episode, whatever I want, he comes back and he has a little bag in his hand and his wife, deborah, I think, is a Deborah, if I am not mistaken. Deborah, she took the bag away. Just take it away. Go upstairs, talk to your daughter. He has a little chubby daughter, Maybe he is like a ten-year-old kind of, and he has twins too, two little boys. Talk to your daughter. She is waiting for you, instead of asking him. Hey, you work whole day. Have a glass of water juice Just right now. She is waiting for you. You are late already.
Speaker 2:He said what is he asking? Asking weird question. Then why don't you answer? What kind of mother are you? I don't know. I don't know either. Take it Bible with you. That is the episode. It is real and the big message nobody wants to, I think is the message of perusion. But how many people will going to get it? They just laugh. She literally pushed him in her room. He has no choice. He is angry inside, but he has to go and she is reading a book on his or that he is already late.
Speaker 2:Hey, hi, sweetie, even though he is angry in front of children, their mind is totally different. That is what we have on many kinds of mind With wife, different kind of With daughter, different kind of With neighborhood, different kind of With animal, different kind of. So many kind of Say, sweetie, let me tuck you into the bed, but, dad, I have a question. What's your question, dad? Everybody dies. Oh, yeah, everybody dies. Go to bed, everybody dies. No, dad, this is not my question. Everybody goes to heaven. Yeah, everybody goes to heaven. And people just laugh the way he answers Everybody goes to heaven. Go to your bed, no, dad. That my question is why it is 6.7 billion that time, maybe not even 7 billion yet. Why this big population on this earth? He opened the Bible.
Speaker 2:When parents, they don't have an answer, they open the Bible. They are looking, they don't find the answer. She comes. What are you looking at? Nothing, nothing. And parents have this habit they hide from their children, right, they don't want to know what it is. She comes oh, bible. I read this Bible five times. I didn't find this answer. He closed the Bible. Sweetie, I can tell you one thing I think heaven got crowded Because everybody goes to heaven. Heaven got crowded and God pushed them all over the earth. All of them Go to your bed. That was his answer.
Speaker 2:He is trying to raise the question. He is a writer, he is an actor, he is a producer. He tried to raise the question that, hey, wake up people. Not everybody goes to heaven. What about the hell then? Right In hellish being their bodies, totally different Angel beings, also different Face to the reality. The reality is if there is a hell, there is a heaven, there is a earth, everywhere is a population. It means in the hell people are suffering too. There are maybe planets like that, but here also we will see sometimes hellish kind of suffering. Here too Many people. I have seen a lot of.
Speaker 2:I don't want to go in that detail, but it is amazing that if we can get the message, we can get the message from everywhere. Message is everywhere. We are not looking or watching carefully or not understanding very right way. You can learn anything from anywhere. If you are a learner, it is up to you. If you don't want to learn, no matter God comes to you, you will not still learn it. That's what I am going to give you a message, appa Naivvairani. Whatever you do, your Atma yourself can take you to the river of the Vethirani. It looks like water. It is not a water. It suffers. Whatever you do, you can create hell for yourself.
Speaker 2:Appa Naivvairani, appa Mekhud Samali, in the hell, there is a saying that there are trees. They are like a sharp. As soon as because it is hot there that I want to go under the shade, oh yes, we will take you as soon as they come and they just cut your whole body, bleeding everywhere. I don't want to sit here. I don't want to sit here. You have to sit here because you brought it from far away and they enjoy it. That's what it happened. So, appa Mekhud Samali, that's what we call those trees Kut Samali, they cut your whole body.
Speaker 2:Appa Kaam Duhadhenu, your own Atma, your own soul is, is a Kaam Duhadhenu. In the heaven, there is a cow. It is called Kaam Duhadhenu, wishing cow. Whatever you wish, you get it. That is an angel. Your own Karma is your angel. Appa Me Nandanang Vanam. There is a forest in the heaven, the most beautiful. I don't know Christianity. They call it Garden of Eden. I call it Nandan Van. Nandan Van is the best forest. So many flowers. Once you see that, it is up to you what you want to do. There is so many things to tell. I think the time is little running more, but I wanted to finish today. Lot of other things, but we have still five days. We will continue. Message of Perusion and remember is the best celebration in the whole world. Perusion, because celebration of soul, soul Immersion, jai Siddhatma.
