Introduction
Welcome to the realm of high-level truths (Para Satyam). For the past few days, we have discussed introductory concepts, comparing mythology to modern fantasy like the Avengers to establish the validity of our Puranas. But today, we move beyond the basics. We are entering the domain of pure science—the supreme secrets hidden within the Arunachala Purana.
If you listen deeply, dropping your internal restlessness, these truths will not just inform you; they will transform your life. This is not about the “past” or the “future.” It is about the nature of existence itself.
The Great Illusion: Future is a Construction, Past is a Reconstruction
We must dismantle our understanding of time to grasp reality. The fundamental truth you must tattoo onto your consciousness is this: The Future never comes, and the Past is dead.
The Myth of the Future (Creative Construction)
The future is a mental construct—a Creative Construction. It is a repository of your hallucinations, hopes, and fears.
Society has brainwashed us with a materialistic philosophy that mortgages our current existence for a future that never arrives. We tell ourselves:
- “I will be happy once I get that 10 lakh rupees.”
- “My life will be complete when I win that 100 crore lottery.”
- “I will settle down once I marry this specific person or get that big career break.”
The Trap: Even if you achieve that goal, it arrives as the Present. But because your mind is wired to postpone happiness, you immediately shift the goalpost. The 100 crores becomes 1,000 crores. You continue to wait for a “future” to be happy.
Furthermore, the future is filled with empty “fear balloons”—thoughts of “What if this goes wrong?” These are imaginary constructs that, when popped by the needle of reality, leave you wondering why you wasted your life trembling at them.
The Dead Past (Creative Reconstruction)
The past does not exist. It is dead. “Past is Dead.”
What you possess is not the past, but a Creative Reconstruction of it. You selectively pick 10 or 20 events out of a billion that occurred, add your own background music (usually a tragic score), and build a false identity around them.
The Reality Check:
“If you compare what actually happened in the past with the memories you hold, you will realize they are not the same. You are running a ‘Yellow Journalism’ campaign against yourself, printing zero facts and 100% opinion.”
The Psychology of Suffering: SDHD and the Public Toilet Analogy
Why do we suffer? Because we carry the “past” into the “now.”
The “Free Public Toilet” Analogy
Imagine a free public toilet in a village where everyone relieves themselves. It is filthy.
Now, ask yourself: Why are you carrying the waste that society dumped there on your head?
Your past is that public toilet. The society around you—relatives, friends, enemies—dumped their emotions, their “waste,” and their judgments on you. That was their mistake. But carrying that stench in your present moment? That is your mistake.
The Cycle of SDHD
When you constantly critique yourself based on this reconstructed past, you engage in SDHD:
- Self Doubt
- Hatred
- Denial
You convince yourself that self-criticism is necessary for growth. This is a lie. When you repeat negative words to yourself, the Universe listens and manifests that reality. You create a loop of suffering.
The Science of Consciousness: Atom vs. Anu
To understand how we perceive reality, we must look at the difference between Western and Eastern approaches to knowledge.
- The Greek “Atom” (Atomos): The Greeks sought truth by cutting and dividing matter externally. They cut an apple until it could be cut no further. They called this Atomos (Uncuttable). It is an external, materialistic approach.
- The Sanskrit “Anu”: In our Sanatana Dharma, we sought truth internally. Anu refers to that which the mind cannot penetrate further. It is the limit of the mind’s ability to perceive, not the limit of the matter itself.
This is why Sanskrit is essential. It is the language of the Vertical Time Zone (spiritual depth), while Tamil is the language of the Horizontal Time Zone (living life joyfully). Both are our eyes. We must learn the source language to understand the science of enlightenment.
The Solution: The Eternal Now (Nithya Nigazhvu)
Many modern teachers speak of “The Power of Now” or “Living in the Present.” I am telling you, if you try to “be in the present moment” using your mind, you will only get a headache.
Why? Because the mind operates in Length, Breadth, and Depth. Time is the 4th dimension. The mind cannot grasp time; it is outside its jurisdiction. By the time your mind identifies “This is the present,” it has already become the past.
The Solution is the Eternal Now (Nithya Nigazhvu).
The Focal Point of Consciousness
The Eternal Now is not a fleeting moment on a clock. It is the Focal Point—the screen on which the movies of your life play.
- Whether you play a Comedy, Horror, Terror, or Romance movie, the Screen remains the same.
- You are the Actor, Director, Producer, Audience, and Critic.
- You project the “Dead Past” and the “Imaginary Future” onto the screen of the “Eternal Now.”
The Practice: Stop searching for the “present.” Simply abide in the Eternal Now, the witness consciousness that exists before the concepts of past and future arise.
Handling Criticism: The “Malastram”
How do you handle attacks from the outside world?
If you are constantly criticizing yourself internally, you become vulnerable. A single comment from the outside confirms your internal bias (“See, I knew I was worthless”), and you collapse.
But, if you are established in the Eternal Now, you wear a divine armor (Kavacha Kundala).
The Concept of Malastram:
People attack you by gathering the “waste” (Malam) of their own pasts and the “waste” society has thrown at them. They combine this with the “waste” thrown at your public image. They craft a weapon out of this excrement—I call it Malastram (Excrement-Weapon)—and throw it at you.
The Strategy:
“Why should I catch the filth you throw? I do not react. I do not respond. If you want linear growth (1 crore to 2 crores), take feedback. If you want a Breakthrough, ignore the world. Treat their criticism as Malastram and stay in the Eternal Now.”
Parenting: The Ultimate Responsibility
There is a critical failure in modern parenting. We teach children how to read a clock, but we do not teach them the nature of Time.
The Directive for Parents:
Before your child turns seven, teach them to exist in the Eternal Now.
If you fail to give them this spiritual food, they will go to “hotels” (other ideologies/religions) to eat. You cannot blame them for converting or becoming atheists if you starved them of their own heritage.
The Consequence of Neglect (Pinda Tharpanam):
If your lineage (Vamsa) is lost to other faiths or atheism, there will be no one to perform Pinda Tharpanam (ancestral rituals) for you. According to Sanatana Dharma, you will wander as a ghost, unable to traverse the higher worlds (Lokas) without the fuel provided by your descendants.
Do not let social media influencers raise your children. They only teach “Showing Off.” Real relationships are about “Showing Up.”
The Final Truth: No Fear, No Death
When you abide in the Eternal Now, fear vanishes. Fear is a tool used to enslave you.
The Example of Appar Swamigal:
When the great Saint Appar was thrown into a burning limestone kiln, he did not burn. He sang: “Maasil Veenaiyum Maalai Mathiyamum…”
He described the environment as cool as a breeze, sweet as the sound of a Veena, and refreshing as a pond with buzzing bees.
How was this visualization possible in a burning kiln? Because he was not in the kiln; he was in the Eternal Now.
The Ultimate Secret:
I am telling you this as a friend, sitting with you under a Banyan tree, sharing a cup of tea. Open your heart and listen:
You have no destruction. You have no death.
Death is merely a metabolic change. The state of being you hold now is the state you will carry into the next form.
Conclusion
Do not be a hero who wins battles outside but loses the war inside. Be a Tyagi (Renunciate/Hero of the Inner World). Use the sword of Gnana (Wisdom) to cut through the projections of the past and future.
Stand firmly in the Eternal Now. That is where peace, bliss, and immortality reside.
Om Nithyananda Paramashivoham.
