Guest guest Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Over the years the way I show love to you has become contagious and spread among you too. All qualities are contagious, you don't need to have any doubt about it. See that boy yawned, and see this gentleman is also yawning. If one person yawns it spreads and 4 more people yawn. This world exists in an ethereal layer in which sound and light, happiness and sadness travel. If that's not the case, how come at the stroke of 11pm everyone feels sleepy? Even sleep is contagious. If 10 people in a place do the same thing it spreads. So all good and bad qualities are contagious. Similarly the love I show is contagious, it travels from one person to another. Once there lived a king. He used to go around his capital on a chariot every day. There would be heavy crowd on both sides of the road. He would wave to the people and pass on. He used to be very happy with this ride through the city. One day while he was riding on his chariot, when he a saw a person in the crowd he got very angry and felt like killing him. He returned back to his palace and pondered, " That person was after all a subject of mine. Why did I get that thought of killing? " He summoned the Raja Guru and told him about his unusual experience. Guru said, " Don't go through that place for the next two days, go there after the third day. " Obeying his Guru, the king avoided going to that place for a couple of days. When he went there the third day, he saw that same person in that crowd. The person waved at the king and the king waved back. He did not have any animosity against him. He came back to the palace and asked the Guru, " What did you do? " Guru replied, " That person has a log shop. When you went there three days earlier he was thinking, " I have just received two loads of sandalwood logs. If the king dies, they will buy it. " Because he got such a thought in his mind, the reflection of that thought made you feel like killing him. During the two days when I asked you to refrain from visiting that place, I asked the accountant to buy the two loads of sandal wood and stored it in our godown. So when you went this time the person was very happy thinking, " Ah, because of the King I could manage to sell my two loads of sandalwood. " That's why you also became happy as usual when you saw him. " So this world is also like this. Liking or disliking a person is because of the thought waves that emanate from that person. Don't you sometimes feel very friendly with total strangers sometimes? And sometimes don't you feel annoyed with some people without any reason? In fact I feel annoyed with many people. From every body, certain light rays emanate. There are many of you who did not come here the last Pournami (full moon) day. On that day I made a scientific observation. In Science, you come across carbon dioxide, CO2 and water H2O. Six molecules of CO2 combine with six molecules of H2O in sunlight, and you get a carbohydrate, C6H12O6 that gives energy and six molecules of O2. This is called photosynthesis in science. The oxygen that is produced is the one you and I breath. Anything is this world, spreads around with the help of light and matter. Energy=mc^2 where m is the matter's mass and c is velocity of light. So when sun's rays impinge on a body, energy gets produced. So if I am Lord Nataraja, you are also Lord Nataraja. If rays of light are emanating from my body, they are emanating from yours too. This is all science. We Indians have discovered these long before the modern day scientists. So thought waves originate from each body and travel. Shivashankar Baba wanted to kindle the waves of love in you all. There is no one in the world without love. Even if you have a golden wick holder, unless you keep the oil flowing, the light from the lamp will die. Similarly, I am keeping the love flowing. Even that process is cited in your science. It is called catalytic effect. The catalyst does not directly involve itself in a process, it just enables and helps the process along. The product of such a process has been this institution. When you come here, you see those boys and girls standing there, these people clean and polish your chappals (sandals). Let me introduce these people. This girl is from our colony and studies in our school. This boy is not from our school or from our colony. His father holds an important post in an insurance company. This boy is the oldest of the volunteers. Next, this girl studies in XII grade. Whenever she gets time, she will come here and do this volunteer work. Next, this girl works in Central Government. She comes here two or three days a week and performs service here. When you talk of service, she will perform chappal stand duty, she will iron my clothes Saturday and Sunday. Next, this girl works in a computer company in Bangalore. She has come here on a three-day leave. After cleaning your chappals, she will return to Bangalore. Next, this girl is going to undertake studies in the medicine line. I don't deal with Vaastu, Ring, Astrology, giving talisman etc. I am molding them indirectly. If you believe me, I will make your life. I won't talk to you too much. You may be thinking, " I have come all the way from Arumbakkam. Swami talked to me just for 2 minutes. " Should I talk to for half an hour inquiring about unnecessary things like " Is the rooster in your house doing well? " That's all worldly talk and a waste of time. Nowadays you get these programs in TV where you can ask for your song or a comedy scene over a telephone call itself. If you see in that program, the callers would have asked the host, " How are you? " a 150 times. To that question she has already answered once. In spite of that, every caller asks the same question. I know you are well and I don't get into this small talk. I come to the point straight away. I listen to the problem you have and initiate the solution immediately. So far no one has spoken this kind of language. People have come think of a Swami to have a beard with the aroma of sambrani smoke around him and chanting, " Om, Hreem, Boom " like in the Vittalacharya movies. I don't believe in such things, it does not suit my health. If you believe me, I will solve your difficulties. This is all due to spiritual power and the energy that flows through me. Only when your times are good, you will come to see me. Today is a Sunday, and you have left all your other chores and sitting here since morning. Its already 4 o'clock. Have you ever sat before in a place for 5 minutes continuously? When you visit a temple, if you see a screen obstructing the view of God, you people without waiting, go away muttering to yourself, " I will come and see the God later. " (In Hindu temples, a screen is used by the priests to prevent the devotees from seeing the God being dressed up and adorned.) What makes you sit here is called vibration. You yourself don't know that but I am controlling you. This is the first of the 8 siddhis. It is called Vashitvam. It gives you the power of influencing anyone who comes in front you. This is a very ordinary Siddhi. I am in a state where I have gone beyond these 8 siddhis. The God has given me powers to bring people back from death. I don't believe in all these powers as it does not benefit in any way. You see these swamis trying to cheat people by magically producing a camphor or ring. This is all an act of pulling wool over your eyes. For this you don't need to be swami at all. Try going in front of High court on a Wednesday. There a person would be blindfolded, made to lie on a easy chair and covered with a black cloth. Another person near the guy on the easy chair will ask you for Rs. 2 ($0.04). He will keep the Rs. 2 aside and ask the blindfolded person to tell the number on the Rs. 2 note. The blindfolded person to your utter astonishment will say correctly, " Z2343832 " . Then the person will ask you to write down three questions on a piece of paper. You will list down your questions, " Will I get back my lost dog? " etc. etc. He will take that piece of paper and ask you for Rs. 10 now. His initial trick has already swayed you. So you will oblige him. Actually, there is a spirit of a dead person inside the body of the blindfolded person. That spirit acts as a remote device and the blindfolded person sees exactly what the other man is seeing, that's all there is to it. An ordinary person is able to do this trick with the spirit of his grandparents, why do you need a swami for this? Don't fall for all these tricks. Usually what happens is, someone without any other job, would go to the burial ground and pray for spirits to come to him. The spirits by themselves don't have the power to get into him. The ether a spirit is made of is very weak. You have at least a couple of hands with which you can defend yourself, the spirit cannot even do that. It cannot eat by itself, it has to get into someone else's body to enjoy the taste or dress as it wishes. According to hierarchy in God's creation, it cannot come to you on its own as you are a superior force. If you yourself call for the spirit, don't blame the God for that later. For example, if someone comes to your house, its your decision whether to let a person in or not. If that person later in the night steals your money, then it's your fault. So these people, they beckon to these spirits in the burial ground. The spirit is also like a human. It will ask you to do certain things, which were left unfinished things in its life as human being, and you would have to do that. For example, it will ask you to get its sister's daughter married. You would have to fund the marriage. Or it will say that it would like to eat fish curry. Even if you were a vegetarian you would have to eat it. You would have to do whatever it asks for. After the spirit gets satisfied, it will be with you all the time. It will tell you things which one cant know if blindfolded and you would be dumbfounded. It knows only to tell things that have happened in the past. It cannot tell you about the future at all. So all these small- time magicians cheat you like this. There is another way of cheating using hi-tech. When you are climbing up the stairs, they would have a camera there. I am telling you all this because I don't these kinds of trickery. If I did these things, would I let you know about it? So they will be noticing who is going in and coming out of the building using the camera. They will make you sit in a hall. Over a mike, they will cite the color of the sari and purse and ask you to come in. He has already seen you carrying that kind of purse and wearing a sari with that particular color. You would be dumb-founded again. There are certain other types of Swami's. A person known to me called Ramachander, had a daughter to be married and he visited such a Swami. There is a Hanuman Swami in Nanganallore or Adambakkam, he is a devotee of Anjaneya Swami. The Swami will ask, " Who is Subramani here? " Half the people in the city are of that name. You yourself would get up and say, " I am that person. " You would be expectantly waiting for him to say something. Then he will continue, " You have a God's photo in your purse, right? Please take it out and put it in your hands. " You would be totally dumb-founded after seeing all this. This is one more way of cheating using common sense. Unless someone has some a problem, no one is going to visit a Swami. There are lots of people who come from Andhra (state in India). They usually carry these typical bags and wear colorful clothes. This Swami will come sit near you and say, " I don't want anything from you except friendship. Just buy me a cup of tea. " Since he is not asking you for money, you will be ok with it and buy him a cup of tea. This technique is called Boxing technique. He will hit you when you least expect him to. Then the Swami will continue, " I have met the Prime Minister and the President. " The President and Prime Minister of India don't have any work. If you go and ask for a snap with the President, you would be stopped at the gate itself. But when these adivasi kinds of people go there, the President and Prime Minister oblige for propaganda for political purposes. So these Swamis will show you all the photographs. You would wonder, " He seems to be a real famous person. " Its just a photo, the Prime Minister never came to this person for any prediction. Further, the Swami will ask for addresses of five of your friends and you would give him that. First he would cheat your friends and make them part their money. At the end he would come to you. He would have a notebook with him. He would place a feather on top of a photo on a page of the notebook and move a magnet below. The feather would move and he would cite that as a mark of you having done something wrong. You don't know what he is talking about but you would accept it. He would keep some kumkum (red holy dye) on your forehead and would ask you for Rs. 500 ($10). You would be totally confused in that situation because you are the one with the weaker mind. You would say, " I don't have so much money. " He would threaten you saying the Gods would be angry and somehow make you part with at least Rs. 150. I don't follow or foster these kinds of things. I tell whoever comes to me not to get stuck in these kinds of complications. You don't have any belief that these fake swamis are going to give a solution for your problem. After having seen these astrology journals, you go to such people out of curiosity. If I haven't seen all this how can I tell you about such things. " Learn and forget what you learnt. " I don't believe these kinds of astrologers and you also should not. God is true and your Father and Mother are the truth. Believe them. You don't even need to believe me, faith does not come to you so quickly. Pray to God and do your duty. Don't waste your time and money in these kinds of Swamis. Use it for buying things for your family. You will become happy and will not feel the need of going to these astrologer types of Swamis. If you had spent the money on your family, imagine how your family would take care of you. You don't do that. It is all time-pass, you want to buy some books here, go to some astrologers there, you are wasting your time. Because your mind is like that, jumping around like a monkey. Adi Sankara himself says that, " O Siva, If you take an ordinary bowl for begging no one will offer you any alms. I have a beautiful monkey, it can perform wonderful feats, then you would get lot of alms. " What type of monkey? Adi Sankara says, " Take the monkey of my mind. " That work of Sankara is called Ninda Stuti. A mahaan like Sankara himself says that he cannot control his mind and composes such a work. You are an ordinary human being, you are answerable to your superior officer, you have hundreds of family worries, and you have lot of tension. This mind keeps confusing you like that. You beget more problems. Lot of ladies have this problem. Half the husbands don't know how to show love to their family. Not that he dislikes his wife, it does not occur to his mind. Once he knows the wife is his, he does not care about her afterwards. If it was a lady in the office, he would ask, " Madam, do you want some coffee? " He would never have asked his wife even once whether she wanted some coffee and took her out for lunch. Men take their wives for granted. For example, if a beautiful lady were standing in a bus, the man would offer his seat to her. If an old lady from a village really wants to sit, would he ever give his seat to such a lady? It is all a show of pretense. Even the act of trying to be humanitarian or show nobility is more of being opportunistic and is not his true garb. People who want to prove the world they are noble are filthy inside, it is all an act. It is a pretext to show the world that they are good. People adjust with others in the society but does anyone adjust with their own family members, old or young? A person works as a clerk in the office and gets bossed over from morn till evening in the office. Once he returns home, he would act as if he is an emperor on a throne and show his authority. You are putting up with so many people in your office, why can't you put up with another four people in your family? Are your family members asking you to work for the home as a peon? You people don't contribute anything for your house. There are families where the wife earns the livelihood. The husband has nice time playing cards and drinking but he still will boss over his wife. What right you have to control your family? There are lots of people who come to me with such problems. Unfortunately for wives, the husand is a social symbol. The wives go to the extent of covering for their husbands in order not to reveal to others the problems in their family. So there are two types of people, one who don't tell the truth because it is detrimental, and the other who tell the truth and get caught in other problems. For example, the husband will be reasonably good. There may be a small issue. The wife will tell all about in to everyone in the office. Her colleagues will try to console her and finally it would end in unexpected ways landing you in other problems. So the main problem with the society is the confused thinking of the mind. If the mind can think clearly, half your problems will get solved. The spirituality that I advocate and my achievements are down to earth. I don't believe in the worldly gimmicks. I don't believe in confusing you in the name of religion and spirituality. These are all small techniques. For a husband and wife to live happily, why do they need anyone else? If these two decide to live happily, then that's it, they can be happy from the next minute onwards. They don't need any God or Swami for that. But you people don't want to mend your ways. Even if one of you adjusts your ways, if not today you would get a solution tomorrow. It is all due to false ego, you don't want to give in first. Even if the husband decides to give in, sometimes the planets will play their role and cause situations whereby the wife would have periods and togetherness would not be possible. So such things also happen. Recently, a movie called Vaali was released where Ajit plays a dual role. I see all movies. You may ask why do I see these movies. I need to tell anecdotes from such movies for you people to understand, right? I have even seen Swami, the latest movie. In many families the problem will not between husband and wife. There is a girl whom I know. She is a good person, a shipping engineer. Her mother-in-law spoiled the good relationship between them. She wanted her son to help her daughters not her daughter-in-law. There are lots of women like this in the world. I have seen mother-in-laws getting in between husband and wife and not even allowing them privacy. These mothers are sadistic and don't want their sons to live happily with their wives. They are insecure suspecting their son may leave them for their wife. So this mother-in-law used to prevent the daughter-in-law from cooking saying she was not clean. She would go to their room and switch on TV and say she would be sleeping there. So this girl used to come to me and complain about her problems. I said, " Don't worry, I will tell you a story. " Once there was Raja (king). One day he ordered his Minister to be hanged. When the Minister was about to be hanged. he laughed heartily. When the king asked why he was laughing the minister replied, " O king, what kind of a fool you are! I know how to make your royal horse fly. But you are going to hang me without knowing the secret of performing such a feat. " The king asked, " Can you really do this? " to which the minister replied, " Definitely, in six months I will show it. " The king threatened, " If you don't do this in six months I will hang you. " and let the minister go. When the minister went home, he saw his wife was in grief thinking he was already dead. When the wife asked how he was let go, he told her what he had promised the king. The wife asked, " Do you really know how to perform this feat? " The minister said, " I don't know any such thing. In six months three things can happen. One the horse can die, two the king himself can die and three I myself may die. " The wife quipped, " Why didn't you ask for two years time? " The minister replied, " If I had asked for that the king would not have believed me. " So I told this girl, " Don't worry. There are many good solutions to your problems. One your mother-in-law may die. Or your husband may understand you and come around. Or you will adjust yourself and come around. " Just like I said, the mother-in-law died. Now they have no problems. So there are always solutions and you have to wait with patience. You may think that your problems have no solutions but there is no problem that God cannot solve. If your prayer is sincere God will somehow give you a solution. I myself have thought sometimes that there is no solution to some problems. I cannot offer a solution of asking the boy to leave his mother. That's not right. The best I can do is plead with the boy to take care of his wife. Solutions are there but they take time depending upon the environment and your bad times. I have no karma but you have some. Once you go through that karma, there will be no more problems. You also can be happy chit- chatting. So all my solutions to your worldly problems are down to earth. I don't confuse you in the name of sky. When I talk about language of the sky, it is about how you would love God. You are not ready for that today. Whenever you are ready, I will show you the way. For now I give you solutions to your problems. I don't say, " No " . Even now I saw a lady. She asked whether her children could learn cricket during summer. She had just come on a visit from abroad. I told her that we have a coach for cricket only during school working days. Now they can learn Veda and Yoga only. So she let her children learn both. She asked whether her children could stay here and learn. I found her to be sincere and gave them permission to stay here and learn. If your approach is genuine, I will definitely help you. None of you who come here is known to me or related to me. I treat everyone equally. You should get closer to the organization on your own. No one is close to me, I have no one who is close to me or who is not. I give mangoes to the kids just because they live in the colony and are able to express their love. At that age they like such small things. This is another way of molding them. I have told once, " If someone thinks he is close to me, he is close (finished). " I am not close to anyone. I have left my life behind to perform service to God. I have no interest in anyone else other than God. Since you also are contributing to this effort by either singing or dancing, I am just reciprocating the faith you have shown in me. It is my way of saying I care for your love and your work for God. It is as simple as that. These are the thoughts I would like to share with you this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
