When you permanently unclutch from the shaft, you are enlightened!
As of now you connect all the past experiences of your life and create a shaft. All your future experiences depend on how you have created this shaft. They depend on which words from the past you have picked, and how you have formed the shaft. Your future emotions, reactions, thoughts, and words depend entirely…

Start seeing everything as if you are seeing it for the first time, without bringing in your engrams, your past engraved memories!
What I call enlightenment is experiencing the same intensity of life that you feel inside yourself, outside your skin also. You are not alive just inside your body. You are also alive inside every other individual, tree, and rock. Your hold over your physical body is transformed into a hold over the cosmic body! You…

If you are in a low mood without a reason, means you have a chemistry which has been trained, many times by you, to fall in low moods with a reason
People ask me, ‘After enlightenment, can enlightened beings enjoy?’ I tell you, only after enlightenment can you enjoy! Before that, you can only think or imagine you are enjoying. After enlightenment, you don’t even need sense objects to enjoy. You will simply be enjoying all the time. There will be such an intense excitement for…

The basic thing needed for enlightenment is a new clarity about the self (jeeva), world (jagat), and god (Ishwara)!
Living with the limitless continuum is enlightenment. The limitless continuum will happen when you relax from the identities you hold of yourself in the outer and inner worlds. If you are settled in that limitless continuum and are able to be active, you are living enlightenment. If you are not able to settle down in it,…

There is no such thing as 99.9 percent enlightened or very close to enlightenment or very near to enlightenment, either you are enlightened or you are not!
People ask me during meditation programs, ‘I felt a deep peace and a strong energy during the meditation. Does that mean my enlightenment is near?’ First I want you to understand, we are always near enlightenment. That is the important thing. We are always near to enlightenment. It is a very foolish and wrong idea to…

Why does an Avatar happen on planet earth ?
We now reach the ultimate, or what I call the peak experience. Realization of who we are and our role in this universe is the ultimate knowledge and experience that we can have. From the darkness of ignorance we move into the light of truth. We become enlightened. When you see somebody swimming, you understand…

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…
