Brow Center Is The Browsing Center

I know an enlightened Master who lived in India. He had twenty-five clocks, each set to a different time. When I visited him the first time, I thought he had devotees all over the world and each clock was set to a different time zone because of that!

I asked him why he had so many clocks. He replied, ‘If I want the time to be 12:30, I choose the clock showing 12:30 to be the current time. If I want it to be 4:30, I pick the one that shows that time. If I want a special time that none of these 25 clocks show, I set the time on another clock and use it!’

He was able to use time as a tool at his will. If you can live at least for a few days without the awareness of time, you will open yourself to a new dimension of your being. That dimension will be tremendously liberating. And once this happens, when you need to get into time-bound awareness, you will do it perfectly!

I did a study and found that, whenever we are not bound by time, our adrenalin level is very low, and we feel a sense of well-being. Whenever our adrenalin level is high, we are constantly tense. We can live all 24 hours of a day in time-bound awareness, but we will naturally always hurry and worry and our adrenalin level will go up, which will lead to heart problems and all kinds of other problems. By the age of fifty, we will be all set to die and have eternity available to us.

One who is time-bound can’t have a vacation. When he’s worrying at the office, he calls it work; when he’s worrying at home, he calls it homework, and when he’s worrying on the beach, he calls it vacation, that’s all. The place may change, but the time-bound mental setup of worrying will not change.

People ask me how I speak for many hours without any notes. I tell them it’s because I’m not confined by time-bound awareness. Timebound awareness is the worst conspiracy that society inflicts on you. Slip out of it at least once in awhile and you will understand what I call intelligence. Read about any great discovery by any scientist. All great discoveries were made only when they were not under timebound awareness, when they simply allowed themselves to enter into a new dimension of existing. Where did Archimedes discover his principle? Where did Newton discover the theory of gravity? Scientific discoveries are nothing but eruptions from the cosmic intelligence.

When we are time-bound, we are good businessmen or engineers but only when we reach timeless awareness, and our TPS drops, can we become artists or poets or make radical discoveries. All great truths, scientific and mystical, are discovered only when we are beyond time. The technique to drop from time-bound awareness is what I call meditation. When we drop out of time-bound awareness, even one idea, even one thought that hits our consciousness, can transform our whole life and the life of humanity. Whatever we can achieve with time-bound awareness throughout our life, we can achieve a thousand times more with one moment of timeless awareness!

For example, can you equate all that you have created with your life’s earnings with the productivity of the theory of gravity (which resulted from just one moment of timeless awareness)? Apart from personal comforts and material benefits, timeless awareness can give you a sense of tremendous fulfillment that you have lived your life completely. A single glimpse of zero TPS is enough to give us the deepest possible fulfillment. That’s the ultimate vacation! Unless we know how to lower our TPS, even if we are in the world’s happiest place, we cannot have a vacation. If we can lower our TPS here and now, our whole life will be a vacation.

The past binds us again and again. Our future is nothing but an updated version of our past. From the past, we don’t want some incidents so we remove them; we want some incidents, so we add them or repeat them. We try to create the same past in the future, with some alteration, more conducive to us. If we don’t know our past completely, as it really happened, we will repeat the same things in the future. If our TPS can come down and we understand our past as it happened, we won’t repeat the same things in the future and we won’t be bound to the past, as well.

With our ordinary memory, we carry the burden of our past with a strong attachment to it. But when we have access to the entire time shaft, we will neither feel any attachment to anything in it nor we will be influenced by it. We then become karma mukta, liberated from karma, the burden of our past actions, intentions, desires and memories. As of now, we are all under karma bandha, under the bondage of karma, because we have not lived our past completely.

For example, our childhood always seems golden and many people have the idea of a golden past all the time. We may feel our life in college was great, but when we were actually in college, we would not have really felt that way. Why? Because we feel that our suffering has become too much now, and in comparison, the past seems very nice! Now, we attribute joy to our past, and if given a chance, we want to repeat it, but actually when we lived through it, did we experience joy? No. If we come down to zero TPS, we will understand it wasn’t as great as we think.

Unfulfilled desires are what I call samskaras. Samskaras will pull us to travel on the same route, again and again. That’s why they say history always repeats itself. Not only the history of humanity, but even yours and mine! Take an oath never to repeat the same mistake again and you will never be able to commit any mistakes, because we don’t have the intelligence to commit new mistakes! We only repeat our past mistakes because we don’t truly know and remember our past. All meditation techniques are ways to bring down our TPS. The vision about the entire past and the entire future is what I call cosmic intelligence. If we bring down our TPS to zero, relax in the present moment, what mystics call cosmic intelligence will become a reality in our life. And no one can dispute the concept of timeless awareness. Just because some news is not in the newspaper, you cannot say it didn’t happen. Similarly, just because we didn’t experience timeless awareness, we can’t say there is no such thing.

What we know is different from what is. If we can relax in the present moment, at zero TPS, for at least 11 kshana, we will penetrate the time shaft and alter future incidents. Kshana is the time gap between one thought and the next. For each person this time gap is different. The higher the TPS is, the lower the kshana will be and vice versa. If we can stay in zero TPS for 21 kshana, (that is based on our regular TPS state) we will penetrate the time shaft and the future is in our hands. These statements are mystical and based on words of great rishis. Even if we disregard these truths, we can experience it directly.

If you sit in front of a person who meditates, or in front of an enlightened man, you feel fresh and attracted to his presence. People often ask me, ‘When we sit in your presence, we don’t know how time passes; we feel happy. Why is that?’ This is because, in the presence of a Master, your TPS drops. If you ordinarily have 100 TPS, and you come into the presence of someone at zero TPS, your TPS will drop to 50; if you were at 80 TPS initially, it will drop to 40 TPS, because the energy is infectious!

If we can bring down our TPS, we can penetrate the complete past, future and present. The whole cosmic intelligence will be available to us just like the information from around the world is available on the Internet at a browsing center! I call the third eye or the brow center (ajna chakra) the browsing center! If we can relax in the third eye energy center or the brow center and experience zero TPS, all the past, present and future of our life and others’ lives will be available to us. So the brow center is the browsing center. Read More : Don't Worry, Be Happy by Paramahamsa Nithyananda.
