Beloved Master,

Your discourse this morning was just amazing! You have such a vast context. Can You please speak about Your role in this place? Was it Your choice or did Existence plan it for You? Did Existence think that you were the only person who could save humanity?

There is a time that will come when there will be no difference between you and Existence. It is not that I planned for myself to come here or Existence did. There is no difference between Existence and I; there is only a merging, a deep merging. It is like this: do you see this handkerchief? There are so many threads coming out of this one piece of cloth. It is not that the threads and the handkerchief are different. The threads are part of the whole handkerchief. They are both one and the same.

In the same way, so many masters have happened on planet Earth. We all think that they are different from each other. Actually, they are part of the same Whole. They are all part of the same cosmic oneness. There are so many threads,but they are from the same thing, the same source. There is no difference between Existence and I. Every master who has happened on planet Earth is pure Existence descended once more in human form. It is not that I am the only person so far who has tried to save humanity. So many masters have come; each with a different technique for awakening. But somehow, we have simply escaped from them. We have survived them; we have survived even Buddha! This will not happen again! Be very clear: I will not let this happen! You will not be able to escape this time. You will be awakened! Actually, there are so many awakened ones already. We are just not able to recognize them. It is not that each one has come with a mission. Some of them live happily in society. There are three types of enlightened people: The first type is mystics. They are ones who are realized but have not necessarily come down with a mission. They live happily with themselves. It doesn't mean that they have to live in some secluded cave in the Himalayas. They might as well be your next door neighbor. You never know!

The second type is Masters. They are the ones who have realized and have a mission as well. They go around carrying their message to awaken humanity. They are very much like scientists, except that they are of the inner world. A scientist is one who creates a formula to recreate the same experience which happened to him in the outer world for others to experience. A Master is one who creates a formula to recreate the same experience which happened to him in the inner world for others to experience. The third type is avatars – incarnations. He is above the other two. In fact, avatars are the first two and something more. They do live happily with themselves. They do have a mission. The only difference is that they can put you into the experience straightaway without any formula. All that you need to do is approach them with a deep receptive mood. In fact, even if you don't have this receptive mood, he will ensure that the experience happens within you. He will not allow you to escape. Understand: once you have stepped inside, you will not be able to go out. The process has already started. Even if you leave me, the process will continue without stopping. With or without your knowledge, your transformation will go on. You will be transformed! You will be awakened!

Yes.

Beloved Master, Could You please pass Your comments about the difference between the spiritual question, ���Who am I?��� (which Ramana Maharishi speaks about) and the psychological trauma of ���Who am I?��� (the state of confusion).

It is nothing but the difference between the ego

and the self. You see: the ego is just the false

idea which you have of who you are; it is the

work of the mind. There is actually no

relationship between it and reality.

Your ego is perfectly fine for you as long as you

are dealing only with the world, because in the

world you are mainly dealing with the egos of

other people. The moment the mind is dropped,

the ego goes with it. It is here that you discover

who you really are. You understand that what

you thought yourself to be and what you really

are, are really at two separate poles. You

understand that your reality is totally different

and has nothing to do with the mind.

It is like this: you have never tasted sugar

before. You come to me and ask, ���What does

sugar taste like?��� What will I say? I will only

say that it is sweet. But will you be able to

understand? Can you understand what ���sweet���

is? No! You need to experience it.

So, in order to understand what ���dropping the

ego��� is, you must first experience it. As of now,

you have not reached the ultimate reality. You

are still somewhere between truth and falsity;

oscillating between the two.

Yes, it is better than false, but much lower than

the real. You still have the separation between

you and Existence. It is this separation which

prevents you from seeing reality as it is. To see

it as it is, is the ultimate blessing. And it is your

birthright.

To understand your problem, here is an analogy.

You have a wall all around you. You yourself

have built this wall; a nice steel wall. And inside

this wall, you are thinking that you are seeing

reality.

This is the game that ego plays on you. There is

a whole other dimension waiting to be seen,

waiting to be experienced, and your ego keeps

you thinking that you have seen all that needs to

be seen. If you break open these walls, you will

see the reality of the whole of Existence.

But first, you must get rid of the ego; the ego

which prevents you from knowing, from really

seeing.

There are some religions like Zen or Hinduism

which take you to the end of your spiritual path.

It is religions like these which are not only

interested in clearing you of the ego, but also go

a step further: They take you until the point

where there is nothing more to drop; where even

the self has disappeared.

Right now, you are like a house that is full; you

are having a party within you. There are so

many personalities, so many thoughts, so many

false ideas contradicting each other. A noisy

party is going on within you. When you start

moving deeper within you, trying to understand

your reality, the party starts winding up; the

guests start to leave. The party is no more; your

house becomes empty. If you move even deeper,

there is no house! Even the house has

disappeared.

This is what I am talking about. Right now, you

are full of thoughts and you are bound by the

ego. It is like your house is full. Some day, the

ego will leave you, like your guests have left and

your house is empty.

But if you go still deeper, the house too

disappears. Then there is nothing at all to drop.

Your self has dropped. It is at this point that you

are no more. It is in this emptiness that the

ultimate experience can really happen.

As I said, your house is now full. There is no

space to fit anything in. Only when you become

empty, the experience will have the space to

happen. Only when you have become no more,

the experience of who you really are will

blossom. Only when the false identity fades

away, your identity will become visible.

It is at this point that you cannot have any

connection with your past. It is like you have

completely cut off from what you thought

yourself to be. It is only now that you can really

be yourself.

And this is what enlightenment is: it is getting

rid of your ego, your mind, bit by bit. You go on

losing this ego until there is nothing more to

lose; until you have completely lost yourself. Only

then, you find yourself.

I tell you honestly: you all really don���t know how

to live. We are all miserable because of this one

reason. No one is in harmony with each other.

Everyone is always at each other���s throat. There

is never a time when you are fully in peace.

Actually, if you look deeply, there is no such

thing as peace. The period of preparation for the

next war is what we call peace!

And this is really the way in which we live. All

the misery in the world is simply because of this

one reason: we all have completely forgotten

how to live with each other.

Just look into your lives: when you are in an

argument with someone, you naturally feel that

the other person doesn���t know what he is doing.

You feel that he is wrong, that he should simply

keep quiet and listen to you! If this is what is

going on in your mind, be very clear that the

other guy is thinking the same thing! That is

why there is an argument!

I am not only talking about arguments, I am also

talking about competition, about jealousy. Your

whole life which is a struggle to earn money, to

always succeed, is simply because of this

competing attitude. If you really look into this,

you will understand that the only reason that

you continuously desire, is to show yourself as

better than someone else. Only when your

neighbour gets an air conditioner does the

temperature in your house increase!

I am reminded of a small story:

There was once a Priest and a Rabbi. They

were both next door neighbors.

These two guys would always be competing.

When the Priest got an ice box, the Rabbi had to

get a new refrigerator. When the Rabbi got a

new fan, the Priest had to get a new air

conditioner.

One day, the Priest drove in with a new BMW.

On seeing this, what did the Rabbi do?

He immediately went and bought a new Rolls

Royce!

The next day, the Rabbi walked out of his house

and found that the Priest was baptizing his new

BMW.

The Rabbi just didn���t know what to do.

That evening the Rabbi was seen cutting the

exhaust pipe of his new Rolls Royce!

If you understood the joke, it is good.

If you didn���t understand, don���t miss the laughter!

Simply laugh! What else can be done!

This is the way in which you are living! Whether

you believe it or not, accept it or not, it is the

truth! Your whole life simply exists on this one

basis: to show yourself as better than the other

guy.

Stop all this nonsense! This is not the way to

enjoy your life in totality. This is not the way to

extract the juice of Existence.

Life is nothing but a celebration and you are

here to live it.

You are here to enjoy.

You are here to sing with the birds.

Just do it! Grasp the spirit and flow with the

river of life!

Nothing more is needed.

Thank you.

I often feel blessed by an overwhelming feeling that this family, this Nithyananda family is becoming gently one body, one organism, one heartbeat. Is this a dream? Am I just being a utopian?

Beloved Master,

And please tell me that this is not a dream…

First I ask you: name one person who is not a

utopian. Name a single person who does not

wish that the world didn't have problems. Name

one person who doesn't want peace and

harmony; who wants fights and conflicts. You

simply cannot! Everyone wants to live in a

peaceful way.

So first be clear that you are not in a minority

community. Everyone is a utopian. In a subtle

way, in some small corner of everybody's mind,

whether they are aware of it or not, they want

peace and harmony.

Whether you believe it or not, accept it or not,

everyone is a utopian, including your so-called

criminals. Certain criminals may have done

wrong; they may have committed some crime,

but for them it is not a crime. They feel that

they are perfectly right. They feel that there is

nothing wrong with what they did. They feel

that whatever they did made their people happy.

So first understand that everyone is a utopian.

Next, about your family feeling: of course it is

not a dream. It is real. Everyone here is living

with one another, helping each other grow. In

fact this relationship is much more than a family

feeling. It is a deep bond, a deep connection

with everyone at almost the being level.

Just look at the way in which you all are living.

I will recall to you an incident that happens

almost everyday in our 'Nithyananda family':

One of our devotees would have come to the

ashram. You would have never seen him before;

never even heard of him. But what happens

when you speak to him for the first time? You

feel instant bonding with him. You feel that there

is something there at a deeper level. And you

will be wondering, 'I don't even know this

person. Why am I feeling this way?'

The reason is: you all have intense love for the

Master. The moment this happens, you feel

connected with anyone and everyone who also

shares this love for him. Whether you know the

person or not, you all share a common factor -

love for the Master. So naturally, you all feel like

one being.

You all understand each other. In fact you all

love each other with the same love as you love

me. This love is unconditional, regardless of

gender, culture or religion. You all may fight,

argue and what not, but no grudge remains.

This is because of the unconditional love that

you have for me and for each other. Because of

this love, you all feel as if you are one being, one

heartbeat.

Allow this feeling; allow it to grow. You will

become so overwhelmed with love and oneness

that it will spread outside the boundaries of just

my devotees. You will feel this same love, this

same connection, with the whole of Existence.

Yes.

Beloved Master – I don't know how to ask this, but can you tell us who exactly you are. What are You?

Beloved Master,

I don't know how to ask this, but can you tell us who exactly you are. What are You?

I am nothing but an invitation for all you guys – for all who are searching, I am the ultimate invitation; for all of those true seekers who want to find their way back; their way back to the source.

I am the answer to the ultimate question. You might be wondering what the ultimate question is. It is the question which each and everyone of you has deep within but that which cannot be put into words, cannot be verbalized, because it is not just a question; it is a deep craving to return back to the source, to merge with the source. And because you cannot verbalize this single craving effectively, it expresses itself as hundreds of illogical questions and desires.

Actually, it is a quest, not a question; it is an urgency, not just an urge to know. It is a deep craving, a deep thirst coming from your being; it is the thirst which you have bubbling in each and every cell within but which you cannot find the words to express. I am the answer to this. I am the answer to this inexpressible thing in you; to this quest which you are struggling to fulfill.

Be very clear about one thing: when I say that I am the answer, I am not saying that I can give you the answer. It is more like if you are ready, you can simply take it!

It is like this: I am a lake available to you, a lake of bliss. You see it. The lake cannot jump on you without your effort. You have to jump in. I am ready for you all the time, but you must make the effort to jump; you must take the initial leap. The lake can never jump on you.

You may be thinking, 'How does he expect me to jump into him?'

Yes, this is a different type of invitation! It is an invitation to a journey where the first leap is the final one because the first leap takes the longest time. And this leap will take you on a long path, on a long journey. And finally, you will see that your journey will end right where you were but on a totally different plane. You will understand how many steps you moved forward on this path to actually reach this new and liberating plane. This is how far you have moved away from yourself. It is amazing how you have simply forgotten your way back to yourself!

So, I am your reminder. I am the reminder of your home.

Understand one thing clearly: I am neither present as you see nor absent as you think. You may see me here talking to you, laughing with you, cracking jokes and what not. But be very clear: I am in a thousand other places with a thousand other people at the same time.

When a person remembers himself, when he knows himself, he has simply disappeared! He is no longer there. The body may be there, but he has gone. There is only the presence; a vibrant presence. This is the presence which can quench your thirst. This is the presence I am talking about.

In one word, I can say that I am the 'invitation'.  I am for those who have a deep longing in their being to know themselves. I am for those who feel that unless they have found themselves, everything becomes meaningless. It has to become your only concern, that you are ready to drop and lose everything for it, but you are unable to drop this one thing.

There will always be desires; there will be thousands of them. But as your being ripens, all of them will simply vanish and only this longing to return home will persist. This will be the only longing. Once you start experiencing just this one thing, you have found it. Then you have found whatever is of any value to be blissful, to be full of ecstasy.

You may have been near many masters, near many realized souls. But at all those times, you were not ready and alert to receive them into your being. You were not aware of your longing to know yourself. The longing did not become a longing. It was still under the cover of illusory desires.

Now, the fire is there in you. This fire needs to be kindled, made more intense. You need to feel the urgency to intensify it, to take quick steps before it dies down, to not miss it one more time. When the fire is awakened and kept burning, totality and fulfillment happen and bliss flowers.

So, the invitation is simply to awaken you, to put your being aflame.

So just let go and jump. What is there in it? Your whole journey is to lose yourself, to merge with Existence, to drop the questioning mind and merge.

Only when you lose yourself, you have really found yourself.

Yes.

Become Empty First! – From the book "Guaranteed Solutions" by Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

A learned professor from the West went to meet a Zen master in the East, in Japan.

The professor had done a lot of research in many areas of study.

He went to meet the master to get some spiritual knowledge, to understand spirituality in a better fashion. He arrived at the master's place and found the master brewing tea.

The master saw him and gestured to sit, and continued to brew tea.

The professor sat down and after a while, started talking of his background, of all his studies, his discoveries, his travels around the world, his experiences with different people, his conclusions on various subjects and what not. The master finished brewing the tea and placed two cups between them.

He began pouring tea into the professor's cup. He poured and poured and slowly the cup started overflowing. The tea spilt over the saucer and flowed onto the table.

The professor was watching what was happening.

He could not contain himself any more.

He screamed out, 'Master, what are you doing? Stop

pouring! The cup is overflowing!'

The master stopped and calmly said, 'So are you.'
