Swamiji’s Discourse on 1st January 2014

Salutations to all the pious souls who have come here,

Happy New Year. On the first day of this New Year, by controlling your body you brought your body to this place. So I congratulate you all. In this cold weather, by overcoming all the hurdles on the way, by overcoming family problems, professional problem, you brought your body to a barren place. To do this you need a pure, strong and a holy soul. Coming here you have proved that you all have strong soul within. Samarpan meditation is nothing but supremacy of your soul on your physical body. When we feel we are just a body, then we have ego, problems, disease and all problems related to body. They dominate our life. Then just to keep solving those problems, our entire life passes. And when it is end, we realize that this was not the purpose of my birth. So effect of physical body is always there on person bearing the body but by staying in physical body, decreasing its effect on ourselves is Samarpan Meditation.

If there is a line, and without touching or erasing that line if we want to shorten that line than what will you do? We will draw longer line next to that line and without erasing or changing the original line you have shorten that line. Similarly, you have to do the same thing, you don’t have to leave the body, or give pain to your body. You have to stay in physical body but decrease its effect on yourself. Many people observe fasts, but that’s also giving pain to your body. Fast should happen by itself. It should happen by itself means you reach such a high level of meditation that you should not even remember about eating or drinking, your body processes should continue to go on. It happened with me once, when the foundation of babadham was dug, it took 45 days to fill and built the foundation, at that time I did not eat or drink. It happened by itself, I never remembered about food but other body processes were going on, I used to go and visit babadham everyday. But fast happened by itself. Likewise, you don’t have to give any pain to your body but you have to decrease the effect of your body. What is the solution? You have to increase the effect of your soul.

Some time back I went to Nagpur to see my aunty. She is 85 years old. She worked all her life as teacher, built her house and spent her life on her own. She used to take care of me in my childhood. She used to beat me to make me study when I was child. I thought if I am showing path to everyone, I should go and meet her and show her the path too. I went in morning and came back by flight in evening. From 10 o’clock in morning to 5 oclock in evening, I took seven hour session for her. I only told her that she needs to increase the Atmabhav (dominance of Soul over physical body). She cannot do physical work due to old age and now she stays in home and keeps an eye on everything. She will keep an eye if all house works are done properly; cat is not drinking the milk, if milk is boiling or what? She is very religious lady; she does chanting and all religious rituals. So I told her that you should leave everything and should add one more mantra with all her other mantras i.e “I am a pure soul, I am a holy soul”. So she said there is not name of god in this mantra. So I asked her why she needs god’s name in mantra. She told it purifies my soul. So I told her that I am showing the shortcut for that, this mantra will also purify her soul. It will increase your atmabhav.

So she asked me “Should I leave everything? Should I not keep an eye of my household, What if cat drinks milk? So I told her that “Imagine if there is an earthquake then you will first save your life. Now when only some days are left for the life, do you want to waste that time by keeping an eye on cat? You should increase your atmabhav. so that effect of your body will decrease”. So to decrease the feeling of being a body you should increase the feeling of soul. That will shorten the line without changing that line. Automatically the longer line will decrease the effect of shorter line. That’s Samarpan Meditation, it is supremacy of soul over your body.

I never talk to sadhaks about their physical problems,I tell them to increase their atmabhav. It is all due to physical body. All the diseases, addiction, ego are all related to body. All people who have these problems have domination of their body on their soul. All bodies are created equally. There is no difference in body based on their religion or caste. Difference is the supremacy of soul over body. Think about it, all problems like addiction, it is related to body, disease is related to body. These problems are because there is body’s supremacy over soul. Once your physical being is decreased, your problems associated with body will also decrease. You don’t have to leave these problems, they will leave you. Addiction it will be gone by itself. There is no limitation related to country, religion or caste. It is morning when you wake up (Indian saying for better late then never).

I have an example in my own house. My father used to smoke for 70 years. He always used to criticize me; I don’t have to look for a critic outside. He used to criticize me a lot. He used to tell me that you are not a man; you eat what your wife earns. I used to get angry and used to talk to head of Ram Krishna Mission. He used to tell me that “A chief minister is your disciple, so if you want you can get as much money as you want. But you are not asking for money. You father thinks that work is only what you do to earn money. You are also working but you are not making money out it”. My wife used to tell me “if you have to ask money from him, then you think of doing job. Otherwise don’t worry”. My father used to tell me you are no good when I used to take shibir in tribal areas. When I started going out of India to take shibir again and again and he then changed and he said “Tthere is something in you which I could not understand”. So I told him that now you are 90 years old, you should chant “I am holy soul, I am pious soul”. He used to smoke for 70 years, he used to dialogs like “cigarette is my first wife and your mother was my second wife. She left me, when she died but cigarette has always been with me”. But now he has also left smoking completely. At the age of 90 years, after 70 years of smoking, he left it. Now at the age of 90 he has attained the state of Moksha, he is just waiting to die. Now he says I am only waiting to die and I tell him that journey you have to do on your own. So whether you say “RAMA RAMA” or “MARA MARA” still you will attain salvation since you are saying the same thing. Those who criticize even then attain salvation.Wives of many sadhak abuse me. They don’t like me, because their husbands meditate. But then eventually changes occur and these wives actually become better sadhaks than their husbands. Many husbands criticize me as their wives meditate but later those husbands become better sadhaks than their wives. It is same thing whether you say RAMA RAMA or MARA MARA. Whether you praise me or criticize me, your attention goes on me and through me their attention goes on the huge collectivity and that clarifies you. So if you connect to collectivity, your soul gets stronger and it is control your body. This is about your body, now let’s talk about soul.

I am talking about the state which is called Moksha. Moksha is a state where soul stays without body. So I pray you all reach that state. And that’s my wish for you all this year. Maintain this state for rest of the year so that you reach that higher state this year itself. See, this is a continuous process, no miracle will happen. For so many years you have been living in body, you are providing everything to that body, give all the comfort to body. Enough! Now you have to decrease the effect of that body on you and increase the effect of soul. And that is Samarpan Dhyan.

Samarpan Dhyan. Samarpan+Dhyan. First you have to understand what “Samarpan” is. Dhyan (meditation) is practice. But see when you are in body you always think Samarpan (surrender) in physical form. You think it is donation or other surrender in form of physical things. So you only think it is something which you can see or feel. But actually another meaning of Samarpan is to homogenize. Transform completely in form of the medium and homogenize in to medium. You have to empty yourself, you have to become pure and you to make your identity zero, you should be an empty pipe. When you completely transform yourself into medium, then all the energies from medium will start flowing through you. It appears through you. When it happens then all the powers possessed by medium transforms in you.

We had a shibir for Jain saints. We had lot of discussion. Later, the head of that ashram wrote me a letter saying” Swamiji, you are a great scholar of Sanskrit. You have talked about some great scripture in your book Himalaya ka samarpan yog- part 4.You must have read all our scriptures, all the things that you talk about is part of our great Jain Scriptures and Jain religion is based on those principles”. At that time shibir was going on. After the completion of shibir, I went to meet him and I clarified him that “I am not a scholar of Sanskrit. My Guru was also not scholar of Sanskrit. Guru from which I acquired knowledge of Jain religion used to reside at a far distance in Himalaya, where taking scriptures was not possible. I don’t think he ever read those scriptures. I never saw any scriptures around him. But when you decrease effect of your body and increase effect of your soul on you. When you make your soul taller, than in that condition words that are written, that is not only written on paper but also in sky and it remains in that atmosphere forever. And that knowledge can be attained in a good spiritual state from anywhere. My guru attained it through his chitta (attention). He attained all that knowledge due to his high state. He never got knowledge of Jain religion through books, but he transformed himself with that knowledge. So when I surrendered to him, that knowledge automatically got transferred to me and I wrote all that in the book. He never discussed anything about Jain religion with me because I was not Jain. But I got all knowledge through surrendering him”. The next book Himalaya ka samarpan yog- part 5 is also on Jain religion. Guru maa is checking it currently. So I told him “that is Samarpan”.

So you also understand, Samarpan is to homogenize in god, completely surrender to medium. Actually no one is god, we believe in different gods they are just forms of medium they are not god. But it is our habit to give importance to physical medium. We say “Tap is flowing”. We don’t say water is flowing. Does tap flow? It stays where it is, actually it is water which flows, but we say tap is flowing because we give importance to the physical form. We have effect of physical body on our minds and

give less importance to the nonphysical things. We don’t give importance to actual substance flowing through it. Similarly we have caught different forms of medium as god. No medium is god. But no medium has ever said that he is god. It is we who believe that medium through which the energy flows is god. We believe that medium is god. But no medium has ever said that he is god. It is our high spiritual state that we believe that a medium is god. It is ok, I also believed that my Guru is my god. When my grandmother used to tell me that god is forever, she used to say that again and again so I always believed that no human being can ever be god. Because, there is no physical body which is forever. When there is supremacy of soul over body those medium had no defects related to physical body left. There is so much spiritual effect that there physical body became invisible. They become do homogenize with god that they were indistinguishable from god. That’s why believed that they are god because there was so much energy flowing through them. They were not god but they became indistinguishable from god. They were not ignorant to say that I am god. A god can never be physical body, god is an experience. So that’s why no medium has ever said that he is God.

This happened once when I was speaking at theosophical society and I said that no medium has ever said that he is god. Because only when one’s identity becomes zero at that time he becomes medium. Then one gentleman asked me that, in Bhagvad Gita Lord Krishna have said that he is god. I replied to him that Bhagvad Gita is written by Ved Vyas and not by Lord Krishna. He believed that Lord Krishna was god. You can believe that any one is god. Believing in someone as god represents one’s High spiritual state, it will clarify your aura, it will balance you. See when you are going for an operation, your doctor will tell you “Remember you god”. So he says that to make you normal and balanced during operation. So your physical condition balances by just remembering god so imagine how big change can happen by believing? My Grandmother said that god was there in past, in present and will be present in future, so I knew that no human being can be god. But when I met my Guru, my Guru gave me the spiritual experience. I never had that experience before in my life. After that experience I stopped searching for god outside. I was satisfied. The universal energy used a medium to reach me, I believed that medium, that body is god for me. The physical body which god used to reach me, I accepted him as god. See whenever physical form is there, the physical body will be there and then some defect related to that physical body will always be there. For example if you need to bring water from river to another place you will need a pipe. The water will not reach to that lake by itself. So you have to use a pipe. Whether it is pipe made up of cloth, iron or plastic, it will come with some physical defect. If it is pipe made up cloth, it can tear. If It is pipe made of plastic it can break. A pipe made up of iron can rust. So physical form will always bring some hurdles or defects and you have to accept it with the defects. But you don’t have to care about the defects of pipe, but you should concentrate on the water flowing through it. Similarly when you reach a medium, medium will have defects related to the physical body, your defects, surrounding atmospheres defects, good and bad people will be there but you should concentrate on the energy flowing through it. You don’t have to care if it is plastic pipe or iron pipe you have to concentrate on water.

I have told many times. Samarpan Dhyan is like Ganga flowing form Himalaya. It is pure and holy.It had clean shores. But when Ganga flows from Himalaya to big cities, it gets polluted due to polluted places in the city. Then its shores become dirty. Then you all will say that Ganga is filthy. But Ganga is not filthy, it’s the cities which are filthy. It’s your perception that Ganga is filthy, you see it dirty because your place is dirty. The original form of Ganga is that which flows form Himalayas. If you tell Ganga “ you are filthy” it will say “ I am not filthy, it is the places in your cities which are dirty”. There are both clean and filthy shores when Ganga flows but you have to choose a shore which is clean and take bath there. Ganga knows that no one is good or bad, everyone is same. But the one who has soul supremacy is good and one who has supremacy of physical body is bad. Similarly Samarpan Dhyan is like Ganga, here all kind of people are present. Good Sadhaks and bad sadhaks both. Good sadhak is one who has supremacy of soul over his body and bad sadhak is one who has supremacy of body over his soul. When you spend time with sadhak you will understand his level. If you spent more time with bad sadhak, it will effect you too and you will also have more effect of physical body on you due to his company. So you should accompany good sadhaks. See, when you spent time with some sadhak and he only talks about other people’s defects and problems, means he is bad sadhak whose body dominates him. But when you meet sadhak who talks about anubhuti (spiritual experience), then that sadhak has supremacy of his soul over his body. I cannot say “No” to anyone. Its not in my hands, like it is not under Ganga’s control. But you have choice, you should know which shore to choose to take bath.

Secondly, I don’t know if you all remember or not but I has decided to make 8 Murti around the world. With all your support, it’s only due to your support; I am incomplete without your support. This anusthan is organized for the eight Murti from 13th January onwards and will continue for 45 days. It will end on the day of Mahashivaratri, here at the same place. The way I am telling you to decrease effect of physical body on yourselves, similarly I had decided to make murti’s to get out of effect of physical body. With this 8th Murti, I will be free from effects of this physical body. This is all happening due to a well-organized plan. God’s plan is always well organized. And this all is part of it. I have given all my responsibility to my both sons. So one swami is aside and now I am giving you two Swamis. This is effect of time. There is not much generation gap between me and my father because there was not much change. But there is lot of generation gap between me and my sons. That’s due to development of technology; these changes have come very fast. So this new generation and sadhaks have got this tremendous speed. Everyone thinks for betterment of samarpan but there is difference of speed. Today’s generation have speed. They have speed but if you can’t match with them then you should rest and let the new generation take forward. Don’t become hurdle in their way. If we cannot match their speed then we should sit at home and meditate for their success and pray for them. Speed is today’s need. So we have to make ourselves suitable to it and walk with that speed. And bring us under the effect of soul.

The pranpratishtha of Murti (idol) is not that easy. For that, Murti needs to be completely purified. Anyone who has contributed in preparation of that murti visibly or invisibly, all of them need to be clarified. Those who have supported during Gahan Dhyan Anusthan, those all need to be clarified. All four directions need to be clarified. The way for energy to flow from all direction needs to be open. Those energies need to be set in murti. The murti is enabled to clarify who comes to it and surrenders

and it should be able to give moksha to whoever comes to it and asks for salvation. It is not for next few years but for next 800 years, it should be able to give moksha to whoever comes to it and asks for salvation. This Murti is being made for Melbourne, Australia, it is the eight murti. Like I said, these murti’s are ways to get rid of my physical body. I divided by body in eight parts and that’s why eight murtis were developed. This was an organized plan. Once you get rid of your physical effect, then you reach a place whose area is very big, it is bigger than city or state or body. You just become a medium.

Recently, I met a sardarji in Goa who came from Malaysia. He narrated to me for two hours how he reached me. He attended lot of shibirs and went to lots places and through some website he finally reached me. He said that “after meeting you, my entire search is over now. He realized that there are people in this world who have reached the shastradh chakra. But only you can show the way to reach shashtradh. Why so?” So I told him that to give birth one needs a heart of mother. If you don’t have that heart you cannot give birth. Similarly to become a medium you have to be completely empty. I have been prepared for that. There are people who have attained salvation, but they are in Himalayas. That state can be attained. It happened recently when many sadhaks for different countries came to Goa and attended for 8 days shibir as part of international retreat and they felt very good. They had no thoughts of outer world, or family or anything else and they felt very good. So Imagine, those saints in Himalayas are there for years, what must be their state. Why will they think about of society or family? There are no thoughts there, no thoughts of society or family. So they can never come back from there, it impossible to come back to family. It is a one way traffic. Those who go to Himalayas go there to not come back. I came back because I was sent here. Otherwise I would have never come back. But I came back for the greater purpose of creating suitable atmosphere for future Guru’s to take birth here in this world. It is a channel, one guru makes path of other guru and other walk on it. Actually its misconception that one guru makes way and other walks on it. It is much more than making path and walking on it. To us, from outerside, all mediums look different, because we see physical body. Actually they are all one. They are interconnected to each other. You see the body so you give importance to body, we should not give importance to the pipe we should give importance to water to full fill our thirst. You should increase your thirst. For many some sadhak, Samarpan came to their life very early. They were not thirsty for the knowledge but they got to come to this path due to good deeds of their past life. If you have thirst for the knowledge, than you will enjoy it more. Otherwise you will just keep drinking it. But if there is no thirst, there is no importance and no anubhuti. They will keep thinking themselves as a physical body and that’s why they can’t think above their physical problems or addiction. They will have dominance of body over their soul and that’s why they will use this path to just solve their problems. That problem is created by you from within and that’s why problems will never end. If one problem goes another problem comes. So, if you have problems in your life means your body is dominating you. You have to do your own analysis. I felt very good that you all came here in this cold weather at this barren place by controlling your physical body. And you all came in such a large number. So keep this state for rest of the year. I am sure you will attain the state of Moksha this year itself.

To do that what you have to do? Anyone who possesses a body, whether it is your wife or husband, effect of person having body will affect you. So if you sit next to person having a physical body will always affect you too. Many people make resolution in New Year. Some people say they will leave addiction some will decide to start writing. I am not telling you to do anything like that. I am telling to spend time with yourself i.e your soul. Every day for atleast 30 minutes out of your 24 hours, you should spent time alone with yourself such that there is nobody around you in 10-15 feet area. So you need to spend time alone where no other body is present and chant “I am a holy soul, I am a pious soul “And the best time would be 30 mins before or at the time of sunrise. Even here when you are between 100 of physical body you will always have effect of physical body on your selves. Once you start doing this you will eventually realize that those 30 mins spent with yourself is the best time. The reason for chanting mantra is that it will increase the feeling of soul over body. Also if you just meditate your chitta will go some other people and unknowingly you will invite their energies through chitta. So you don’t have to think about anything during those 30 mins. You should not get any thoughts of anyone or thing. By doing this it will increase you atmabhav. You will have to practice it; it will not happen by it you have to keep practicing. By doing that once you soul overpowers your body, then eventually your soul will become your guru, it will guide you. It will show you solution for all the problems. The only aim of Samarpan dhyan is that you become your own guru. Once your soul starts dominating your body, it is not that you will not get back pain, or you will not get joint pain but you will not feel at that extent. You will be free of those thoughts, thoughts of problem or pain. So that’s the pure and high state. That high state is called Moksha, which state is free from defects, diseases or problems. I wish you all achieve that pure state this year. Now we will do meditation. In this path, you have to achieve also and give it others also. It will increase by giving. Let’s do meditation now

“I am a pure Soul. I am a holy Soul”

“I am a pure Soul. I am a holy Soul”

“I am a pure Soul. I am a holy Soul”

Meditation concludes.

Namaskar.

After this program Gurushaktidham is going to be open. Go there in this state and pray that you spent your entire year in this good state.
