What resulted in Paramahamsa Nithyananda Swamiji’s first spiritual experience
The Upanishads, the ancient vedic texts by the sages and mystics that happened as revelations, say that for the person who is initiated, the whole world is heaven. Understand the word ‘initiation’. It does not mean doing some ceremony or ritual. Initiation means that ‘click’ happening in you. When a master expresses the truth, if…

If you are not able to see the Divine, be very clear, your intensity is not yet complete
If you really want to experience life, if you really want to know the ultimate mystery of Existence, if you want to dive into the ocean of bliss, then the way into it is intensity. Be intense in whatever you do. Let you dissolve in it. Do not be partial. Be integrated in yourself. If…

Swamiji, have you been enlightened by the divine grace or by your effort or by your quest?
Question is a word. Quest is a feeling. Man is born as a quest. The rest of Existence cannot reflect the Divine like man can. Man is like a mirror. He has the choice to face and reflect the Divine or to turn away. Man can make a conscious choice, which is why he can…

When you try to change the events and world outside, you are trying to change the scene by jumping in front of the screen
In all the states, one factor is common, the one who goes through these states or the seer. If you look little deeper, you can see that in all these three states of waking, dream and deep sleep, we are trying to change reality as it exists. We are trying to change the scene happening…

Intensity has the power to penetrate your states of unconsciousness including deep sleep
During a nightmare, a very wild dream, just one thought or one click such as, ‘Hey, this is a dream’ is enough. You will be awakened. You will be out of the dream. In the same way, if you are intense in this dream you are living, called the waking world, then one click is…

An intense seeker will carry the identity about himself throughout all three states – dream, deep sleep and waking.
There are four states of consciousness. When you have ‘I’ Consciousness and thoughts, you are in the waking state, the state in which you are right now. In this state, ‘I’ has more frequency than your thoughts. So you can control your thoughts. When you are without ‘I’ consciousness but having thoughts, you are in…

Your intensity is the only thing that decides when your object of seeking will happen
Tantra, the mystical science of meditation techniques, says that to know the truth one needs only one condition, intensity. Be total in what you are, what you do. Live intensely in the moment and taste the real life. Otherwise, you are not living. You are just waiting for death. When you eat, intensely eat. Let…

What qualifies to be called as intensity? What is the difference between intensity and interest?
An interest can be lost, but never the intensity. Interest comes from the mind. Intensity comes from the being. After a while, maybe short or long, you get fed up with your own interest. With intensity, it is a thirst of your being. It transcends the rationale of your logic. Intensity is a call from…

If you can do what you are doing with a totality and intensity that you are completely lost in the action, you have caught the thread of intensity!
There are two ways of living. One is living like a buffalo, just being alive and breathing but with no intensity and passion in life. The other way is like a Buddha, living intensely in the present moment in the current action. Have you experienced a nightmare? During a nightmare you will experience that even…

When you live intensely, automatically you will be liberated. If you don’t live any moment intensely, what happens?
You cannot feel fulfilled by offering sense pleasures to the senses. Living intensely does not mean fulfilling your senses, pouring pleasures into your senses, or living as you wanted. Somebody asked me, ‘Since bondage and liberation is relative, why not just eat, drink and be merry?’ That is perfectly all right. Be intense. That’s all.…

What is being ?
Being complete, total, integrated, expressing your full energy, is what I call ‘being’. If you are partial in your experience or expression, be very clear you are being hypocritical. Even your anger is hypocritical. You just choose whether to express your anger or not. Your anger is also directly related to your logic. You never…

When you are intense, you just are. You don’t need to become, you just need to be!
There is a beautiful story from one of the ancient vedic texts: A disciple goes to a master and asks him, ‘Master, give me enlightenment.’ The master just says, ‘Tat tvam asi’ nine times. ‘Tat tvam asi’ means ‘That Art Thou’. It is called a mahavakya, the statement that straightaway gives enlightenment. The ‘vakya’ or…
