5 January 2015 Morning Message Satsang Discourse from Bhagwan Sri Sri Sri Paramahamsa Nithyananda Swamiji I welcome every one of you with My love and blessings. _/|\_ Today the 2nd day of the Nithyananda Brahmotsava, Nithyanandeshwara and Nithyanandeshwari and Nithyananda, all three of gracing on alankara of Arunachaleshwara. Yes. Now, today we have arudra brahmotsavam, it is also a brahmotsavam in Chiddambaram, we are not celebrating it for 10 days, so we call it as Natarajabhishwkam, today we have pooja and sacred bath for Nataraja in temple, and Abhishekam and pooja. Today is the day Mahadeva did the cosmic dance, and Ramana Maharishi’s jayanti, today Ramana Maharishi was born, Swamigal had darshan, Patanjali was shown the cosmic dance on this very day. It’s actually festival season, between Kartika till Thai, the two and half months is a heavy festival season. Let’s enter into Upanishads. Upanishads. Actually just every day when I come and sit here and utter that word Upanishads the way the truths are overflowing, verbalization becomes a big job. Finding ideas is not at all a big job, verbalizing them has become a big job. There are tons of books and tons of authors, but this book, Upanishads, to tell you honestly, if I have to put a little poetically, the words feel shy to introduce Upanishads. Words feel shy to introduce Upanishads. See, if a child asks what is the size of a apple, you can show like this, (holds His hands) what is size of a pumpkin, you can show like this, (holds hands half arms length)if a child asks the size of planet earth, can you show like this? (Holds hands as far apart as possible.) No! This is no way signifying the size of the planet earth! You can show like this, but that is no way signifying the size of the planet earth, is no way doing justification to the size of the planet earth. Please understand. So what will I do with these words to show you Upanishads? I can only pull My mouth and it is thiiiiiiiiiiis big. The way they introduce you to you, the way they introduce world to you, the way they introduce God to you, the way they introduce life to you, nothing can be compared to Upanishads. Whether the purity of the substance they are delivering, or the poetic way they are expressing, or the very sound in which they have nicely embedded the vibrations of Kundalini awakening, Upanishads not only have a linguistic and poetic importance, meaning they have even phonetic importance. Even phonetically they are important. Actually by the religious historians classifying Upanishads under Hinduism, they have brought a great respect to Hinduism. And of course Hindus are the inheritors , it is our inheritance, no doubt. But we need to live it and share it with the world. It does not belongs just to us, please understand. We might have been inheritors, but it doesn’t just belongs to us, it belongs to the whole universe. Actually I am feeling so much to start talking on the verses and the Upanishads, and I feel I have not done justice to introducing; I have not set the context. Because only from the right context it should be taught. I have not set the context. I have to set the context. Upanishad means sitting, that’s all. Just sitting. We can give the meaning sitting at the feet of the master, or sitting with the divine, but the word Upanishad means sitting, that’s all. When you sit, when youuu sit, I don’t say ‘your body’ sits. I am not saying your body sits. When ‘you’ sit, truth is revealed. Upanishads. See when the rishis sat within them, in samadhi, their whole beings started vibrating. Reverberating with the sacred truth. The whole being started vibrating and reverberating with the sacred truths. The cosmos started singing through them. Cosmos started radiating through them. That expression is Upanishads. That expression is Upanishads. Upanishadssss. That is why in Sanskrit we define a Rishi as Mantratashta, who sees mantra, not the one who writes mantra, or who listens to mantra, no- who sees mantras. Means, when you are experiencing always the even the sound will be perceived by eyes, understand? If the sound is heard by the ears, you are healing. If the sound is perceived by all five senses, you are experiencing. So sound, even seen, mantras seen, when your eyes experience sound the lines you experience only are called akshara. Please understand, our rishis experienced each sound, ah. When they experienced the sound, what was the line through which their eyes experienced that sound, that line becomes akshara. They were so highly evolved, so free of worries, all their survival needs were fulfilled, and they were in such high space, that is the beauty, Ganga. Ganga is responsible for Upanishads, I tell you. The way She made the Ganges valley rich, all the basic needs She provided. She supplied everything. And fortunately, there was no war, no need for them to fight or defend, all the natural energies were supporting, all the needs are fulfilled and no need to fight for survival, that ambiance, that space, created such an amazing possibility. Such an amazing possibility. Such an amazing possibility; that’s the right word I’ll use. Such an amazing possibility for them to sit within themselves, with the Cosmos, with the Universe, with the Nature. The Existence has started singing about Itself through them. The background setting of each Upanishads is so different, but the truth radiated by them are all so beautifully synchronized. One reveals the truth about the universe, one the truth about the human, one about the death, one about the life, it is like a all your questions are blasted, and you are there in the cognition of the Cosmos! And the whole Cosmos is there in your cognition. Cosmic Cognition: when the cosmos is in your cognition and you are in the cosmos’ cognition. And Cosmos is in your cognition, you are in the cognition of the Cosmos. The Cosmic Cognition. To put a human being into cosmic cognition whatever understanding is required, everything is beautifully presented and repeated. Understand. Presented and repeated. And all the possible doubts which can arise is answered. That is why I am saying it belongs to whole Universe; we may have it, but it belongs to whole Universe. See, it is like if a pharmaceutical company has a drug to cure the cancer; the company may own it, but the drug itself belongs to whole world. Whoever has cancer should be provided with that drug. Same way, we may own the Upanishads, we might have inherited it, but it belongs to whole world. Whoever is suffering with the delusion, maya, illusion, should be given these Upanishads. We should share with them. Fortunately, the first ever book I was introduced in My life before even any school book entered My life, the first ever book I was introduced was Upanishads. By Isakki Swamigal. And, still we have that copy with us, we have that book. The four major Upanishads, Tamil translation. At that time I can’t read, he will read and give explanation; Kuppamal will ask questions, he will read and give answers. And, actually only through that book I even learned alphabets. Fortunately, even the language was taught to Me only by My gurus, I did not go to school that regularly to learns something from school; I went to school only when there is no festival in the temples, which is less than 60 days a year. Please understand, Tiruvannamalai temple has 300 celebration days in the year, and in that 60 free days, sometimes it will be summer holidays and weekend. Anyhow, because I learned the language to study the Upanishads, that book has become such a part of Me, it’s actually a Tamil translation and commentary, I can literally just repeat the whole book. I can just literally repeat the whole book. Sometimes Kuppamal will read the book and Isakki Swamigal will explain, she will ask some real serious questions, and Isakki Swamigal will answer, I will not ask anything, I will not talk anything, I’ll just sit and listen. Suddenly Kuppamal asked Isakki Swamigal, “Swamiji, this fellow is not asking any question, I think he is not understanding anything.” Then Isakki Swamigal answered, “No I am observing throughout all these days, his eyes have expanded and very attentive, but his eyebrows never hit each other having a doubt or question in his head, so through this facial expression I know he is internalizing the whole thing.” That’s a first time I understood, if your eyes are wide open you are attentive, and if your eyebrows are hitting each other, you are confused or have a question. What a subtle study of the body language. So, if you do like this, it means there is some part you don’t understand, but if you do like this 8) you are just imbibing. His eyes are wide open, awake, alive, receiving, but his eyebrows never hit each other, showing doubt. And I saw his inner space is completely imbibing it, internalizing it. I bow down to My gurus, Guru and Paramaguru. Who introduced Upanishads to Me in this body. Offer My gratitude to them before entering into the Upanishads. Please understand, I may be a born enlightened being or an incarnation, whatever, but in this body, these great masters have introduced Upanishads to Me, so I bow down to both of them with My gratitude, guru and paramaguru. With their blessings, and with Mahadeva’s grace, invoking the presence of all the Rishis, I am bringing this great Upanishads to all of you. _/|\_ Every sound, every letter, every word, every line of this Upanishads, is vibrant with the powerful, a powerful cognition. Powerful cognition. Powerful cognition. Actually, still Upanishads keep India alive. It is Upanishad which is the backbone of India. Upanishad is the backbone of concept of Bharat. Upanishads are the backbone of human spiritual aspirations and realizations. All the spiritual aspirations and realizations we have put together is Upanishads. Upanishads are the embodiment of billions of peoples’ millions of years of spiritual realization. Upanishads, there is nothing which is left out in Upanishads, there is not a single word unnecessary in them. Commentary means something needs to be explained; editing means something extra is there. No. No editing is possible, no commentary is possible. Editing is not only not possible, not permissible; commentary is permissible, but I tell you, it is practically not possible, because there is nothing which is not explained. All commentaries are highlighting of some ideas which they want to highlight; whether Shankara, Ramanuja, whoever, wrote commentaries. I am telling you, commentaries on Upanishads is not possible. It is permissible as dharmically, but not possible. Maybe Shankara wanted to highlight some concepts, so He highlights; maybe Ramanuja wanted to organize in certain way, so he highlights. Highlighting is possible, commenting is not, because there is nothing left unsaid in these great Upanishads. Before climbing the Arunachala hill, those devotees will prostrate and go around, ask Him, apologize for climbing by putting the foot on the hill, I am exactly in that mood. Before uttering in the mouth, I just want to surrender to Veda Mata and Upanishadic Rishis, that let Me not do any disrespect to the satyas, tattwas, words, sounds, the whole Upanishad. Let Me just radiate whatever is Your intentions. Let it be presented as You all wanted. Because, you can’t comment on it. See there is something left unsaid, you can comment on it. Editing is neither possible nor permissible, that is one thing all acharyas, even people don’t accept Hinduism, had the basic ethics of no editing. See for example, some paragraphs Ramanuja does not accept, but no editing. Same way, charvakas, materialists, no editing. Even Buddhists who don’t accept Vedas, they may not accept Upanishads, but no editing. Buddhists accept one Upanishad, Mahanirvana Upanishad, they don’t accept other Upanishads, but no editing. Even the palm leaves maintained in Buddhist monasteries, you will see it is so authentically penned down. I bow down to this great Indian culture, lifestyle and tradition, even the books you don’t accept, you don’t edit or distort. What an honesty and integrity! What an integrity! Same way, the archives of the Shankara mutts, if you go and see the palm leaves of some of the Buddhist Sutras, it’ll be 100% truth as it is; they may not accept Buddhism, but never anyone will dare to add, delete, words. This is the original Buddhist Prajna Parampara Sutra; we don’t accept, but we won’t do interpolation. You can go to any Buddhist monastery University library, pick up their Upanishads, it’ll be as authentic as palm leaves in original Hindu monasteries; there’ll never be any confusion of the original text. That is something unimaginable integrity. The honesty to Vani Saraswathi. Respect to Vani, Saraswathi. This Upanishads which is the lifeline of Vedic tradition, lifeline of Hindu tradition, lifeline of Bharat, is the joy even to remember, I tell you. It’s a joy to remember Upanishads. I’ll continue to expand on Upanishads. With this, I bless you all. Let you all radiate with integrity, authenticity, responsibility, enriching and causing Living Advaitha, Eternal Bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you, be blissful. _/|\_
