When this body gets dirty you wash it with soap and water. The same way even the prana gets dirty.Pranayam cleanses the prana in our body. The prana gets burnt in fulfillment of desires(bhog mein pran jal jaata hai).Bhakti and kirtan cleanse the heart(emotions).When you sing a bhajan with full emotions what happens is ,your heart gets cleansed.(bhaav se man shudh hota hai).Knowledge cleanses the mind. These are all temporary and not permanent and bound to end with time. Just look at your face in the mirror, after 2-3 minutes you will feel the changes. Nothing is there in this body, it is only ashes. It is a collection of parmaanu (yeh sab parmaanu ka sangrah hai).What ever has to happen, let it happen now, its right now happening (here the “it” is referred to degeneration of molecules when death happens).By mistake we see it as happening tomorrow. The bud has already blossomed but it is sold only tomorrow as a flower. The body is ashes, to remind that we apply ashes (bhasm) all over. How will you ever consider this body as separate until and unless you are attached to it? This is going to be ashes .Only by having a pure mind can you have aatmagyaan (knowledge of the self).When we have to leave everything then why we have to do anything. What is the benefit of satsang and pranayaam? (man aur buddhi dono shudh hote hai, jahaan safaai hoti hai wahin gyaan upajata hai).When we have to leave everything, then why we have to do all these? What is the benefit of satsang pranayaam? Satsang and pranayaam are there to purify your mind and body. When body, mind and heart are pure then it makes space for aatmagyaan.Janak was no ordinary person, he had done what he to do, he had that desire to wake up and this is shows that the janak had a pure mind. Don’t consider yourself anywhere less than janak. You have come here, sitting here and listening for a month this tapasya is not less. The very desire for you to be liberated has brought you here.
“Praan ki geharaai mein bhaav hai aur bhaav ki gehraai mein bodh hai”
If the body is pure then the praan will be pure and if praan is pure the mind will be pure and when mind is pure then your emotions will be pure. These are all in different layers of existence. When everything is pure and clean, our observe that your breath will also be in a different rhythm. It’s not only your emotions that affect your own self but also it affects others. When all the minds unite together satsang happens. In the company of a greedy person even you tend to become the same.tumhara asar logon par padta hai jab tumko bodh ho .There was a gardener who was seated on a machan(heightened platform) where he used to call people and tell them take away everything from the field and when people used to come e used to scold them and send them away. Puzzled on his behavior the people checked out the reason behind it they found out that the reason was beneath the machan was the throne of KING VIKRAMAADITYA.This story goes to proves us that our thoughts have their effect for years to come. Not on does the world put its effect on you but you also are equally influential on this world.Infact your impact on world is more. For e.g. A small virus like H1N1 had created such a havoc. When a small virus which was borrowed from other country and had spread in INDIA could cause so much havoc ,is your effect in any way miniature when compared to that. You are definitely more powerful than the virus in creating an impact. You leave an impact on this world for several years .In each person here is a great power(power of thoughts) and it has definitely its own effect on others. If we develop negative thoughts then we leave a negative impact on this planet. It will spread from your friends,neighbours and slowly to the entire world. CHANGE THIS ATTITUDE AND CYCLE. This entire universe is just an extension/projection of your aatma.If the very root of your emotions is filled with negativity, then there is something seriously wrong. You have poured poison in the roots itself. Poison of worries have cropped up in your mind, that’s why there has been so much importance for surrender. When you surrender, let go all the poisonous worries are converted to sweet nectar. Negative thoughts make you like stone-hearted. It gives you sorrow. Make positive thoughts for your base. Spread the sweet aroma of happiness (sukh) as that is your nature. My dear ,you are made up of aanand.Thinking about what are you so worried about? There is a person who sits behind the projector and the entire reel of film which is being projected is just light. For a good both Rama and Ravana are the same. People find it difficult to play the role which they are supposed to play. You just don’t want to playa negative character in a drama just because you might be influenced by it(this is taadatmaya).You are the form of bliss. Over here everything is made form anu and paramaanu.It is all made up of same substance, like in a different forms of sugar crystals but the sugar remains the same. You are stuck with so much taadatmaya(false identification).This doesn’t mean if everything is the same , I will start eating non veg,even though I am a veg.No that’s wrong. Strike a balance between your behavior and pure knowledge. The goal of life is that pure knowledge and it is important to make it a part of life. We tend to see a snake in the form of rope. This whole world is seen in your aatma.These are not any different existence. The more subtle you go, you find that they are all the same. Breath is same in everyone. More subtle than the praana (breath) is the mind. That’s why we are happy when we meet someone and sad when we meet someone else.(man ka ek field hai.avaran hai,visstaar hai).And why seva? We are interconnected in this environment, If a person is happy then that person will spread that that happiness to you also. You realize that you are bliss(aanand) and become happy(sukh) .Let your smile be from such a depth that it can never be shaken, that will come only from bodh. Bliss is hidden in that bodh, realize that .when will that happen and how will that happen ,I am bound. I am bound by my family, by money, by other relatives and all ,everywhere I go there is a bondage then when will I feel that I am free(mukt).Then ashtavakra says “ The pride of a mukt lies in mukti and that of a bond lies in the binding”(mukt ka abhimaani mukti hai,aur bandh ka abhimani bandh hai)As is your mind, so is your advancement(jaise mati waise gati)What do we say ,that’s the truth ,what you think only happens.(tum jiska abhimaan karte ho ya sochte ho waise hi tum rahne lagte ho).If you have pride in thinking yourself as a thief you become a thief similarly if you have pride in thinking that I am useless you will become useless. Somebody asked Guruji how do I increase my self confidence? Guruji: There is no chance. it will never improve. One w ho considers himself weak, will remain weak. OUR PRIDE MUST BE IN MUKTI. What mistake are we doing? You experienced pleasure, you were bond in that .You experienced sorrow, you were bound by that. The two are in the existence of mind. The pride we take in considering overselves something is just on the layer of mind. We are above all these. There was a saint who was captivated and imprisoned had the order to be treated like a slave but he considered himself as free always ,so finally the soldiers were first surprised by his behavior and ultimately was let free. We never look into ourselves, we are always muddled up. Wake up, associate your pride with being lberated. When an ill person starts giving the description of his illness to doctor and the doctor convinces him saying that there is no illness the patient gets angry. These kind of illusion we create for ourselves.(tarah tarah ki vibrhaanti / bhram paida kar ete hai)To be bound is also this kind of illusion. What responsibility do you have? Everyone has the same master. He is taking care of everyone. What do you have to do? You are anyways going to die tomorrow or other. He is taking everyone`s responsibility. That doesn’t mean you run away from your responsibility, no. Janak is attending all his duties and he is doing it with the feeling of freedom. One who doesn’t feel entangled in the work he does it perfectly. The moment you feel entangled you become lazy and careless in your attitude.(mukt hokar kaam karoge t prassan chit rahoge aur karne ke waste kaam karoge to usko bhoj samjohge)
All these are the same with different different names.(jo saakshi hai wahi atma hai,wahi ishwar hai,poorn hai,ek hai,chit shakti hai ,chaitanya hai).It doesn’t do anything. Deep within you there is something which happens and then you say I did not do it ,it happened for a particular event. The moment you experience fearlessness, satisfaction and completeness then you are one with that ONE. There is no difference between guru, aatma and your favorite deity. In the presence of guru mind, praana and body are purified because we feel a sense of being full/complete. Because of illusion we have considered ourselves as a part of this universe.(tum vaastav mein asang ho).You ask a child ”what do you want?”it says”nothing”. This feeling is called nispruha. When you feel full and complete then you also become nispruh. When we consider ourselves as beggars of desires it is an illusion. The wealthy is the one who has no desires. If there is a desire you are a beggar. Wealthy is the one who is nispruha. If we have a desire for knowledge then what, that we ill see tomorrow.
