Drop seriousness, and bring sincerity and sensitivity to life!

All our comparison with other people begins with what we think of ourselves. Jealousy disappears when we understand our uniqueness. We may then create another problem. We may believe ourselves to be so special that we start taking ourselves far too seriously.

What is seriousness?

Seriousness is nothing but paying undue importance to something, at the cost of everything else. It arises from the inability to see that all of life is just a drama that is unfolding every minute. Seriousness is the result of over-expectation from life. All our seriousness is just about sandcastles! For the child, at that young age, sand castles seem precious, whereas at our age, stone castles seem precious, that’s all. Whether it is a sand castle or a stone castle, the seriousness behind it is the same. The object may be different, but the seriousness is the same. So don’t laugh when children fight over sand castles.

Seriousness closes your mind to the openness and freedom of life. It makes you dull and dead. It curbs your thinking and makes you stick to the familiar patterns that you know and use all the time. Continue reading “Drop seriousness, and bring sincerity and sensitivity to life!”

Once love starts flowing, jealousy and possessiveness and all that simply become non-existent!

Jealousy does not allow you to experience your true nature of love and bliss. It arises out of misunderstanding life and yourself. You misunderstand love to be something outside of you that has to be acquired. Not only that, you think love is a quantity that needs to be shared. That is why you are afraid, thinking that if you share your love, your share will be reduced. Love is a quality inside you. It is not a limited quantity. It is an unending happening overflowing from within you. It cannot be blocked by anything or anybody except you because … Continue reading Once love starts flowing, jealousy and possessiveness and all that simply become non-existent!

Meditation technique to overcome jealousy

Jealousy is closely related to many negative emotions like anger, greed, possessiveness and depression. All of these emotions will dissolve when we break this cycle of jealousy. Jealousy cannot be overcome either by escaping from it or hating the object of jealousy. All you need to do is just be fully aware when the feeling of jealousy arises. You will be surprised, it simply disappears. The enlightened master Buddha says, ‘Destroy those envying roots and enjoy lasting peace.’ Just be aware and destroy the jealousy, competition, envy and comparison that have robbed you of your very nature of bliss. Use … Continue reading Meditation technique to overcome jealousy

If you can look but not be affected by what you see, then you have found the right way!

Actually, jealousy has no solid existence. In that way it is like darkness. Darkness does not have an independent, positive existence. Darkness is not the presence of something. Darkness is just the absence of light. In the same way, jealousy has no independent, solid existence by itself. It is just the absence of knowledge or awareness.

There is no end to comparison because comparison exists in the mind, not in reality. The jealousy that arises from comparison also has no basis.

 

Some people ask me, ‘Then, is it better for us not to look at others and their achievements? Then there is no problem of comparison at all! Isn’t that the best way out of jealousy?’

I tell them, you can’t escape from your mind just by ignoring your thoughts! If you can look but not be affected by what you see, then you have found the right way. If you can accept and welcome what you see and what happens, then you are centered within yourself and nothing can shake you.

Just by condemning the object of jealousy, you will not be liberated from jealousy itself because the moment you start condemning another person, it means that there is a wound inside you that you are trying to cover up, knowingly or unknowingly.

The only way to really live and enjoy life is to enjoy the very doing itself!

We all function around the three axes of doing, having and being.

Doing for having, without enjoying being, is the sole cause of all our misery. Doing never catches up with having!

Every time you work hard and fulfill one desire, suddenly that desire loses its pull over you.

As enlightened master, Ramana Maharishi, says beautifully, ‘The mind is such that it shows a tiny mustard seed to be a huge mountain until it is attained. As soon as it has been attained, even a mountain appears as insignificant as a mustard seed!’

As soon as a desire is fulfilled, another one starts pulling at you. You don’t even have time to enjoy it and feel satisfied. You may think, ‘Let me get this one more thing also. Then I can relax and enjoy what I have.’ Be very clear, your mind will never let it happen.

The only way to really live and enjoy life is to enjoy the very doing itself. Then automatically the doing, having and being, will be integrated and will happen.

Nature has its own unique way of growth for each of us.

Why do we compare ourselves with others? Because we forgot that all of the confidence, intelligence, and vibrant energy that we need already exists inside us!

Emotions of fear, desire and guilt are subjective emotions. What I mean by this is that you do not need another person or even an object to create these emotions. Imagine that you are in a sound-proofed room with your eyes closed and with nothing to touch, taste or smell. You can still feel the emotions of fear or desire. But to compare yourself with another person and to feel jealous of him, you need the presence of another person.

Jealousy is therefore an objective emotion.

It needs an object to be activated. Jealousy starts from comparison. We always compare ourselves with others in various fields like looks, wealth, knowledge, name and fame and friends to name a few. When we compare ourselves with others we feel that somebody else has something more than what we have and we get caught in jealousy.

Comparison is the seed and jealousy is the fruit! Continue reading “Why do we compare ourselves with others? Because we forgot that all of the confidence, intelligence, and vibrant energy that we need already exists inside us!”

In real powerfulness, you will do so much, but you will never feel you are doing so much

You will never do anything, but you think you are qualified for everything!  You will never take responsibility, but you think you can boss around everyone.  I tell you, this mental setup puts you in Indraloka where constant insecurity.  You may think, ‘Wow!  Indraloka is great!  I can drink Somarasa, see the dance of Rambha, Menaka, Urvashi, Tilottama, go around and smell the flowers of Parijata, rest under the Kalpavruksha, drink the milk of Kamadhenu…’  No!  You need to know, Heaven is constantly under threat!  So, when you build arrogance and show powerfulness outside, but inside you are powerless, because comparison itself is a attitude born out of powerlessness.  Inside you are deeply powerless, outside you constantly show you are powerful.  Literally, you will be like Indra!  Indra’s space is the most cursed space.  Indra’s space is like a sugar-coated, bitter pill!  Outside constantly he has to show with all the rathna, kireeda simhasana, gaana, gandharva, natya, chitra vidyadhara, but inside he will carry so much of powerlessness!  That is why constantly Heaven is shaken.  I tell you, if you are caught in the pattern of comparing yourself with the people whom you think are lower than you, you will develop so much of arrogance, pride, inauthenticity; you will never take the responsibility; you will never live the life of enriching yourself and others; but you will go on using all your energy to question, ‘Why he is not authentic?  Why he is not dedicated?  Why he is like this?  Why he is like this?’

I tell you, allowing the Master to enrich you is the best way of enriching yourself.

If you don’t enrich yourself, no one can save you.  If you enrich yourself, whatever you touch will be successful. 

Arrogance is the most powerful, cunning method which shows all the inauthenticity, irresponsibility you have on others.  And you go on comparing yourself with others, abusing others. In this way, you abuse yourself and destroy yourself!  Unless you get out of it, only when you enrich yourself with responsibility, you can become authentic again.  I tell you, when you carry this pride and arrogance, comparing yourself with others whom you think are lower than you, your health will collapse.  Be aware!  Only when you collapse, fall down, you will start looking into what is the real mistake, ‘Where did I go wrong?’  But now, I am telling you, this is the warning from the Guru!  Wake up!  Don’t allow this pattern to settle in you.  Complete with it.  Your immature arrogance, before it destroys your health irreparably, wake up!  I tell you, the second pattern is more worse than the first pattern, because in the first pattern you will have only psychological damages which is easily repairable. This arrogance, pride pattern damages your body, your body structure, your inner organs.  Not only that, you will have so much of hatred for yourself.  You will not even feel like repairing yourself; you will just only want to give up on you, because in arrogance you will always feel you are doing too much. 

I am giving you the post-mortem report of arrogance.  I have almost one million post-mortem reports of different patterns, because I went through all of that before getting enlightened.  Before getting enlightened you need to go through all types of patterns and get the post-mortem reports.  Only then you can become Paramahamsa.  Because you need this knowledge to help your disciples.  Only then you are certified as Paramahamsa.  So, Mahavatar Baba saw all the millions of post-mortem reports I had of different mental patterns, and only then he blessed me, “Paramahamsa”.  Understand, I am giving you the post-mortem report of this arrogance pattern.  It will give you the idea you are doing too much, but outcome will be nothing.  Nothing will be the outcome. 

In real powerfulness, you will do so much, but you will never feel you are doing so much. I tell you honestly, with all my Integrity and Authenticity I tell you, I feel my whole day is so free, I can do more and more and more.  I really feel I am not doing anything.  Every night when I sit to fall into Samadhi, I feel, ‘What is this?  I have not done anything today!’

Blessed is the one who feels powerfulness is his nature

The first thing will hit you is, the moment you compare yourself with the people higher than you, you will become powerless.  You will shiver, you will shake.  You will lose confidence over your powerful space.  You will think the powerfulness happened in you only as an accident but your nature is powerlessness.  You will come to the wrong conclusions about you which is the biggest curse. It is life imprisonment.  

Having the wrong idea about you and your life; is life imprisonment!  

It is not just putting you in jail, putting you in prison.

Every time you compare yourself with people whom you think are higher than you, you are taking away the life energy happening in you, you are blocking your Kundalini energy, you are blocking your life force, you are destroying your bio-energy because it is going to reinforce the faith in you that you are powerless, you are useless, you are lifeless.

The moment you think somebody is bigger than you and he knows it, you are going to be exploited by him. The person who is really, really bigger than you will always be helping you to make you become like him.  But whom you think is bigger than you will only be exploiting you.  Who is really bigger than you will be explaining to you, whom you think is bigger than you will be exploiting you.

Whether you compare yourself with the people whom you think are bigger than you or lower than you, comparison is going to put you in powerlessness, be very clear about it.

When you think somebody is higher than you and you compare yourself with them, the different kinds of tortures you will give it to you, you will bring upon you, different kinds of abusals you will do to yourself is “Hell”.  There are multiple hells.  Please understand, all your good, bad, everything is perceived by you; if that you is corrupted, your whole life is Hell.  Then whatever direction you are functioning is wrong. You need to sit and look why you are doing what you are doing before you are completely collapsed, you need to look in , why you are doing what you are doing.

If you are constantly comparing yourself with whom you think as higher than you, even if you reach that place, you will be reaching that place by fear.  It will be like even if you sit in the CEO chair; inside you will be completely wounded, filled with pus.

Listen!  Whatever may be the reason for your powerlessness, once the powerlessness enters in you, it eats away even one or two remaining good things in your life. Even the few moments of powerfulness which you experienced will be forgotten by you; you will think it is only a illusion or delusion or accident happened in your life.  If you think the beautiful moments of your life happened in you as an accident, I tell you, there is nobody unfortunate than you.  Whoever thinks all powerlessness in his life is unfortunate moment and powerfulness is his natural way of living, is a blessed guy. He is blessed one.  But if you think your powerfulness has happened as an accident, powerlessness is your nature, you are the most unfortunate fellow.

Comparison

One of the natural tendencies for you is comparing yourself with others.  And, whether you compare yourself with the people whom you think higher than you or whom you think lower than you, you are going to fall into the space of powerlessness. If you compare yourself with the people whom you think higher than you, you will fall into the powerless space of guilt, giving up on you, the idea you are not worthy enough; you will fall into all these powerless spaces. If you compare yourself with people whom you think who are lower than you, again you will fall … Continue reading Comparison
