Raghupati Yogi, the master who had experienced that consciousness or the inner space of Patanjali

Yoga is a state of being. When the mind ceases to exist, you reside in the state of yoga, the state of no-mind, the state of ultimate consciousness or enlightenment. When the state of no-mind and pure consciousness is experienced, you undergo a complete psychological revolution related to the understanding and experience of the self…

When awareness is present, your ego can’t exist. When your ego exists, awareness can’t be present!

You may have a medically fit body. That does not mean you are completely healthy. Of course, I can say from my experience of having seen millions of people, ninety- nine per cent of those who do not have the ‘self-healing clarity’ in their system are never able to maintain even physical health. When I…

What is Darshan ? What does it have to do with Spirituality or Enlightenment or Master-Disciple relationship ?

The unconscious zone in the mind is like the software that can be cleansed by meditation. The hardware, the brain itself, will be tuned to hold this new software by the darshan or grace of the master. When you clean the conscious and unconscious with meditation and create a change in yourself, the hardware may…

Enlightened Master is the doorway to one’s own divine experience

Chitram vadataror mooley vriddhah shishyaa gurur yuvah Gurostu maunam vyaakhyaanam shishyaastu chinnah samshayah Beneath the banyan tree they sit the disciples, old men, the guru a mere youth! The guru speaks through Silence alone But lo! The disciples’ questions dissolve on their own! Understanding of concepts will remain academic, and techniques will remain as tools…

Enlightenment does not lead to the absence of troubles. It leads to the presence of courage to handle troubles!

When you are enlightened, there will not be any movement of letter or word or thought between your navel and throat. Words will come only from the throat. I can say this is one of the precise descriptions of enlightenment. There will not be any word, thought, syllable, or sound movement between the navel and…

Only God or Cosmic energy grows or expands, nothing else grows!

Be very clear, enlightenment is not the end. It is the ultimate experience, but not the final experience. You need to understand these two words ‘final’ and ‘ultimate’, they are very different. For example, after the first day of discourse in this series, one person came to me and said, ‘You have said everything. Why…

When the struggle is for sannyas, even if enlightenment does not happen, it is not a failure!

A true mother is one who lets go of her child when the time is right. A mother who is too possessive of her child should probably hesitate to give birth in the first place! Even giving birth is a form of letting go, she is allowing the child to leave her body! Only a…

His Holiness Bhagawan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam’s indescribable yearning for Enlightenment

(This section is an extract from the narrations of a childhood friend of Nithyananda. Deeply associated with Nithyananda before his enlightenment, Sampath describes the indescribable yearning for enlightenment that he saw in Nithyananda as a child.) Towards the end of his polytechnic years, Swami reached a stage when he felt there was something that had…

Sannyas is the only thing that teaches you to be established in yourself and yet learn to act in the outer world in a playful, joyful, ecstatic way

Sannyas is a deep urge that rises from within you. It is a deep yearning. Even if the longing is not completely consistent over time and space, it is alright. You can take the jump. It may not become consistent. But becoming consistent is not the criterion needed. When it takes root, that alone is…

An Avatar happens in your life with just one intention, to destroy your ego and allow the attitude of sannyas to flower in you!

Sannyas is bringing together concentration and compassion. With concentration, you never forget the goal of life, enlightenment. With compassion, you are ready to sacrifice your very life so that the other may reach the goal! When both are there, both you and the other will reach! That is the greatness of sannyas. That is the…

A sannyasi is one who is established in love and compassion in the inner world, while being established in concentration and precision in the outer world!

The famous poet Kabir says that when love possesses you, don’t even think twice. Just dive into it. If you start thinking, it is like arranging your pillows when deep sleep of rest has come to your eyes. He says, ‘Even though the head itself must be given, why should you weep over it!’ The master…

Avatar is the door gifted by the Existence to say yes to it and rise in love with it!

Sannyas is saying ‘yes’ to Existence. Saying ‘Yes’ is surrender. Saying ‘yes’ is love and compassion. The human mind is trained to always say ‘no’. Saying ‘no’ boosts the ego. ‘Yes’ makes the ego vulnerable, so the mind continues to say ‘no.’ Sannyas is saying ‘yes’ to Existence. Existence created you. It is waiting to…
