LIVING WITHOUT DEPENDENCY ON MIND & EGO

Living Without Dependency On Mind & Ego

How do you go about and function in the world without thinking / worrying about the future ,clinging to a repetitive routine, or chasing a goal?

1. REALIZING REALITY :
Non-Attached Living

Living with the clarity that life and the whole cosmos is a continuously changing dream ( Yukti).


Whatever you are doing is conscious dreaming , whether it be driving, working, eating, or enjoying. The next question would be " If I'am dreaming, then why should I bother doing anything?" Why should you not do ? In a dream you can't do anything wrong. You don't want to do because you take it seriously. If you remember that it is just a dream , your doing or non-doing is not going to change anything. Let It Happen! Let you do what you are doing! Just be very clear that the whole thing is your projection ( holographic delusion projected by the mind). An enlightened person sees things the way it really is and lives life as if it were a play (lila), not as a reality as everyone perceive.



2. FROM INTELLECT TO INTUITION:
Learning To Live From Being Instead of Ego

Continuously living in a deep feeling of connection with the whole of existence and what is( Bhakti).

Spontaneity- Living From Moment to Moment


To live freely in the present moment without plans , you need to be able to flow spontaneously. From early childhood, we have been conditioned to live with a predictable schedule and be bound by our routines. In school we have a syllabus, at work we have a time to clock in and clock out. Everyday will be almost the same as the other. We are continually reproducing our past into the future. Once routine and schedule are taken away from us, we are at a loss and do not know what to do. That is because we lose the ability to follow our internal clock and flow spontaneously with life in each and every moment. Our intuition or inner rhythm is naturally in tune with the flow of the universe .

Krishna says " Those people who execute their duties according to my injunctions (consciousness)........." . When he says my injunctions, he means the injunctions from Being (instead of from ego and mind). When you enter into your being whatever your being says is Krishna's words. When you start living without mind , in the initial level, you will make one or two mistakes. Don't worry, that is tapas. When you drop the goal, you will be guided by nature. Have courage and just enter into the zone of no-mind, the zone of eternal consciousness. All you need to do is keep your mind quiet and relax from your ego. We always think " If I relax from my mind, how will I know what is right and what is wrong? " Once you understand that life is purposeless, there is no question about what you should or should not do. Drop your purposes and ego to fall into your being , you will become an instrument in the hands of divine. Simply, when you become an instrument in the divine's hand , the moment you drop your ego, your words becomes mantra to guide people.

Follow your consciousness instead of social conscience/ conditioning, mind, or ego. The man who live according to his consciousness is the one who lives in shraddha. Shraddha means having the understanding , faith, and the courage to experiment with that idea. Why do we need courage to experiment. After depending on the stick to walk all his life a man that was born blind cannot understand how is it possible to walk without a stick and that it is not a part of him. But until he gets his eyes , he had to have the courage to lie down on the operation table. Now you may have a serious doubt "How can I live without mental proliferation?". I tell you, your doubt is nothing but the same doubt the blind man is having, "How can I walk without a stick?". Only after he gets his sight, he will be able to realize that it is possible. In same way, only when you reach the being you will understand that you don't need mind to live. We can never imagine how we can survive without mental planning, proliferation, and worrying. You may ask " If I don't worry what will happen to my children , house, wife, property, lawsuit ,etc..? You need to have the understanding, belief, and courage to experiment, before you can experience living in zero TPS.

( This initial phase of dropping the mind and ego to fall into your being can be totally disorienting , that is why the ashram atmosphere can make it less scary( helpful but not required) . In the ashram, monastery, or retreat, you don't have to worry about all sorts of financial obligations, work schedule, material goals, etc. There will be less things to worry about. You can go on a personal retreat for a period of time (about 1year ) until you are accustomed to living beyond mind, and living from your being, it doesn't have to be in an ashram.)

At some point during this process we may ask " Swamiji, should I continue with my spiritual life or material life? Which one should I give more importance to ? Should I meditate or should I go for a job? The moment you start choosing you start giving power to the mind. Your desire makes you choose. Your fear makes you choose. These two are the root of choosing. Real spirituality is living in this moment. When you live in this moment , you have the capacity to grow in the vertical and horizontal direction at the same time and same space. When you start living intensely, you start being whole. Never choose mentally before you start living. Just start living intensely as you feel, as your heart guides. What has to drop, will drop automatically. At the very basic level is instinct ( animal). In the level of intellect ( human), you choose mentally. In level of intuition (divine), you go with the flow spontaneously . Living from moment to moment you radiate bliss. When you radiate bliss, you understand why you are here, what you need, what you truly want, and what is your role in this universe. Unless we experience deep ease within ourselves, we will not even know why are we running all our lives. By the time we know, our lives are almost over.

We have a feeling that if we do not dream ( fantasize, desire, setting goals) then what is life . During this phase of the practice it is normal to experience restlessness. Having the freedom to do whatever you want while your vision or wisdom is still dormant can be a terrible state to be in. You will be so lost and confuse. However, when running back to your mind , you are usually not planning, but worrying. Even by your planning, you are only reproducing your past into the future. Your mind has convinced you that you cannot live without it in your life. There is a great fear , " If I stop day dreaming, how will I plan my next step in life or decide how to invest". Because you do not have the courage to live with the spontaneous visions happening ( intuition) , you are constantly struggling with worrying in your day to day life. Living based on spontaneous vision is what I call psychological revolution. The visionary in you becomes awakened. If you live with daydreaming, the ability to have vision remains dormant, and suppressed. It takes courage and patience before the dormant ability to have spontaneous vision or intuition develops. At first you will make one or two mistake when it is still weak. Like when you first learn how to walk you will fall a few times, but that doesn't mean that you should stop trying to learn how to walk.

It is not hard to give one glimpse of higher states, but in order to retain it , you need to have a psychological revolution happened in you first.


PSYCHOLOGICAL REVOLUTION:
The Awakening of Intuitive Insights

When the cosmic constitution is understood by your being, you live according to the universal truth, or the truth of things as it really is instead of as you perceived . Constantly your thinking process comes back again and again to the understanding It becomes the key in every situation.
This releases tremendous energy that awakens the intuitive faculties other beings usually do not have ( the non mechanical part of your brain). You will see as if your whole brain is alive. Because of that you will feel that your whole body is alive. That is what I call a psychological revolution.

When this happens your body is incapable of receiving the new energy that comes from this new intuitive revelations. Your earlier hardware or body is not directly capable of accepting the new expression, the new energy . When these two are trying to settle with each other , what happens is what I called ecstasy or bliss. Bliss is a by product or side-effect of a new psychological revolution trying to settle in your body. Because continuously it reveals newer understanding and insights, as long as you carry the body you will continuously feel the bliss expressing, the bliss exploding. The more the hardware (body) tries to settle and live with the new software ( new intuitive insights / revelations that continuously unfold and new way of life) it becomes more capable, sensitive, intelligent, and it opens more and more possibility to experience and internalize bliss.

Psychological revolution is the clear insight or understanding about self, world , and true nature which gives you a complete rest and enables you to find a solution for all your day to day problems. Only a person who went through a psychological revolution will be able to successfully meditate .



MEDITATION

There are meditation techniques where you internalize and practice constantly, during all activities ( Nithya) . For example, the Ananda Ghanda is a Nithya technique , because you need to put awareness, and constantly trying to be aware of that area all day long, during all activities. There are meditation techniques where you internalize and practice at a particular time of the day ( Dhyana, sitting meditation, etc). Ananda sutra is the type of teaching where you understand / internalize and live/ express it in your life without the need to remember or practice any technique given by someone. The ananda sutra gives you total freedom ( due to liberating insights) . Sitting meditation practice ( Dhyana technique ) and present moment awareness during all activities (Nithya technique) create a space for liberating insights to happen (Ananda sutra ). For example, a living master just says something that clicked, automatically it puts you into Turiya or other states.

Nithya & Dhyana Technique : During sitting meditation sessions and while performing activities.

Witnessing ( Equanimity & Awareness)

* Witness the Movements of Body : Every moment there will be a slight movement in the belly ( due to breathing).

* Witness the Movements of Prana : Inhaling and exhaling

* Witness the Movements of Mind : Sit next to your thought like a friend, let it tell you whatever it wants to. We are continuously fighting with body and mind. Only when you feel a deep friendliness with body and mind can you go beyond body and mind. If you feel the enmity relationship toward body and mind, you will abuse the body and mind. Now accept the body and mind like a friend. Let everything inside come out. Neither support nor suppress them. Witnessing is like a fire, all the thoughts will be burn away. If you support , you will be going behind the garbage. If you suppress you will be analyzing and push it aside. Just witness , automatically you will go beyond the body and mind.



The Power of Coincidence -Paramahamsa Nithyananda explains that the very quality of your Inner Space can create miracles in your life. The power to create miracles is what is called the 'power of coincidence'. We just have to open and trust that our Consciousness is connected to the universe, that the Divine is continually caring for us. Just as you create an entire world in the dream state, you have the power to create your world in the waking state. When you reside in Universal Consciousness or Bliss Consciousness, you attract the power of coincidence. It is not necessary to depend on the planning of the mind and ego.

3. CONTENTMENT :
( Live And Act From a Feeling of Fulfillment and Wholeness, Your Original Nature)


FREEDOM :
If you have the faith and courage to live your life free of your so called mind, (which includes inner chattering, proliferation,etc..) you then experience liberation from it.

CONTENTMENT:
Living with the Wisdom to fully accept what is and be happy with what you have(Buddhi ).

Swamiji says the same divine nature that you see expressing through him is in you also. Live and radiate enlightenment . Just be open to whatever may unfold. Live and express your true nature. When you act from your true nature , from the feeling of fulfillment , fulfillment results. When you act from a feeling of discontentment, the outcome will be more discontentment or more desires. The nature of the mind is such that it always wait for something that's just around the corner before it allows you to be happy. It is similar to someone sitting on a donkey and dangle an apple in front of it to make it run. Yet no matter how much the donkey runs, it can never eat the apple, even though it appears to be just a few inch away.

When a person lives enlightenment and radiates the true nature , his/her presence will give others a glimpse of the true nature that many have forgotten in themselves. Spontaneously , the person will help raise human consciousness. It is time that the human consciousness have to enter into the new zone, the zone of Super Consciousness. Live enlightenment is the ultimate thing you can do for yourself, the world, and the Cosmos.


4. EXPRESSING ENERGY:
Living with the Energy to change what you want to change (Shakti ).



Whatever you see is made out of mind stuff ( projected by the mind) . This wall is not made out of brick, it is made out of your mind stuff ( in other words energy vibrated at a slow frequency molded by the mind ) . Let me be very clear, I am , made out of your mind stuff ( your own projection). Being awakened is to realize that the whole thing is made out of your mind stuff. Then what happens, you know, you can do anything you want to do. Sometimes you don't feel like doing anything, you'll relax. Sometimes, you feel like doing something , you will simply do it. For example, Vivekananda wanted to creates, he just creates. Ramana Maharishi doesn't wanted to do anything, he was just lying down. Both are awakened. When you are awakened , you know the science of this whole world. You know the basic formula out of which the whole thing was made.

To make the whole world blissful, happy, you don't have to do anything else . All you have to do is shift your center. When one person even struggles to become enlightened raises the consciousness of at least millions of individuals. Master is a person who awakens the unknown enlightened dimension in you ( like the potential of a caterpillar to become a butterfly ). All the people who are living in the 100 frequency for example, live in the same kind of atmosphere, and the ones living in the 200 frequency see the same kind of world. Inevitably, everything has to change around you. I want to make this into an enlightened community. When a group of people are living enlightenment, it becomes an energy, inevitably everybody around will be spontaneously transformed .
