Renouncing is ‘having’ without the idea of having, and ‘parting’ without the idea of parting!
Sannyas has always been wrongly associated with renunciation. You don’t have to renounce anything. You just need to understand that you are a temporary custodian of some wealth, which is a part of Existence, just as you are as well. Then you won’t need to renounce because you never possessed anything in the first place!…

The first conscious step towards responsibility towards oneself and to the world is Sannyas
The river heads only towards the sea. It does not stagnate anywhere. A sannyasi heads only towards his goal of enlightenment. He knows no distractions. The river flows blissfully, whatever be the things thrown into it on its way. So many things are thrown into the river – flowers, twigs, food, animals, birds, dead bodies,…

Renunciation is not running away from life, it is flowing with life without resistance!
Our ability to be in tune with others and Existence depends entirely upon how we conduct ourselves. It depends on the priorities we choose in life. What if we do not choose? What if we accept things as they happen to us? It is time to talk about renunciation. Renunciation is not running away from…

My mission is to create a peaceful, joyful, blissful, conscious, enlightened society.
When we realize our role in the Existential scheme of things, we can no longer feel separate from all those around us. We can only feel separated when we feel unconscious of our role, when we are unaware. The time has come to create a critical mass of enlightened people on planet earth. Only by…

Can outside minds influence the individual’s mind and thought process ?
Q: It has been said that an individual has control over his mind. Does this mean that outside minds can still influence an individual’s mind and thought process? How can we control this and be liberated from anger and depression? Swamiji: Nice question. Do you have control over your mind? Questioner: Sometimes I find it…

In a hologram, every single part of the hologram, even if split, reflects the totality of that hologram. Likewise, Universe is a hologram and we are a part of that hologram, we too reflect the totality of the universe!
If you have observed a school of fish swimming or a flock of birds flying together, you will see a fleeting synchronicity in their motion. There may be hundreds of birds flying together in a V-shaped formation, but when they have to change direction, they will all do so at the same time, with no…

Once you become aware and realize that you are a part of the Oneness or Collective Consciousness, that you don’t have an individual identity, that you don’t have a separate ego, you don’t suffer.
We are not disconnected and separate islands as we think. Maybe in the physical layer, we all seem like individual islands. But whether we like it or not, whether we accept it or not, whether we want it or not, we are all interlinked by the collective consciousness. It is like this: if the food…

What does ‘seer’, ‘seen’ and ‘seeing’ have to do with ‘Enlightenment’ ?
We see two things in the process of ‘seeing’, the seer and the seen object. Actually, what is happening in the process of seeing? From the seer, consciousness takes a jump continuously to the seen, because it is not able to relax into the seer itself. Because of its restlessness, it gives life to the…

Cosmos responds to your thoughts, to your prayers, to your being, because it is intelligence!
Whether it is the energy in the atom or the energy in the cosmos, there is a big chaos in the energy play. Within that chaos, there is an order that you cannot even imagine. When chaos moves in an order, it creates what is called consciousness or intelligence. Anything in chaos is wild and…

From whatever quality of consciousness we see, that appears as our reality, not the absolute Reality.
Let us analyze what space is. Take a basic element, a point, a one-dimensional object. When a point traces across a direction, it generates a line. Now, let us trace the motion of a line, a two-dimensional object. If it moves in the same direction as it is in, of course it will just continue…

Our very effort to perceive the infinite risings of the ocean of Existence causes it to appear as what our limited mind perceives!
We see this causeless and ecstatic play of Existence through our own individual perception! Our very perception collapses the beautiful happening into a localized reality. Each individual ‘boils down’ the beautiful happening into his own individual reality. Someone asked me, ‘I see this table here. All the people in this room see this same table.…

When you regain your innocence, you are called dwija, reborn, mature!
Innocence is the way to approach life! The moment you realize that you need to regain your innocence, you are ready for the transformation. The scale of measure of regaining innocence is to watch your reaction to the little things in life. Innocence sees all little things with awe and wonder. That is why children…
