You are the ocean of bliss

From: 1 Jun 2008
The self is bliss, Ānandoham. Negative thoughts poison the body and mind; divine thoughts purify and create protection. The power of thoughts comes not from the brain, heart, or soul, but from the universal Ātmā. The soul is individual, while the Ātmā is the formless, universal reality that never changes. Within you is the fountain of joy and the ocean of bliss. Kill this little “I” and lead a divine life. Material happiness is temporary, like bubbles on water. Eternal bliss is the divine, the origin to which all beings seek to return. Even Śiva and Pārvatī could not please everyone, showing outer criticism is inevitable. Therefore, relax, do not control thoughts, and find inner peace. The parrot’s tale reveals wisdom must be left behind and alertness protects consciousness. Contentment makes one truly rich, not outer wealth. Take time daily to meditate, repeat a mantra, or simply experience inner happiness. Negative karma and destiny bind, but self-realization liberates. The final destination is to merge into oneness, the immortal bliss.
“Within you is the fountain of joy, and within you is the ocean of bliss. Within you is the immortal Self.”
“When I was here, he was not there. Now he is here, but I am not there. Because the street of love is so narrow, two cannot walk together.”

The science of the constellation
23:05 - 23:59

From: 28 Jul 2021
The name given at birth should align with the celestial constellation present at that moment. The moment of birth is defined when the child touches the earth. The sun and moon are primary, but all nine celestial bodies determine the constellation. This constellation dictates the first letter of the name, which is crucial for well-being. The specific language or full name is secondary; the foundational first letter must correspond. This is a cosmic science upheld by tradition. Neglecting this alignment is why problems arise. We are individual drops, but together we form a great river in service. The guru and disciple become one through this understanding.
"The first letter name should go."
"Take your name according to the constellation."

The Non-Dual Reality and Self-Realization: Cintan over Cintā
Advaita means non-duality; what is visible and touchable changes, but reality remains unchanged. Self-realization, ātmā anubhūti, is the direct experience of the Ātmā, witnessed once and forever. It stands as the witness of all worldly changes. Modern human cintan, thinking, is directed entirely outward into technology. This outward focus makes humans lonely, separated, and like technique itself, lacking ethics and spirituality. The purpose for which God sent humans is self-realization, and that inner ability is wasted. Ancient ṛṣis possessed durdarśan, distant vision, and durśravaṇ, distant hearing, through guru kṛpā. Sañjaya received such a blessing from Kṛṣṇa to see the Kurukṣetra war; when grace withdrew, the vision vanished. Thus, mokṣa mūlaṁ guru kṛpā—the root of liberation is guru's grace. The body itself illustrates the four castes: Brahmana is the head, Kshatriya the arms, Vaishya the trunk, Shudra the legs—all four in one body. The ātmā is immortal, everywhere, unlimited, whereas the body and its technologies are limited and dependent. True meditation is ātmā cintan, thinking on the Self, not just any visualization. Without proper cintan, one falls into cintā—worry, fear, nervousness, anger, hate, and jealousy. Cintā creates cracks in faith and dissipates bhakti, like a termite destroying a tree. Therefore, never be worried; take things as they are, for what will happen will happen. The first step of self-realization is to see thyself in each and every entity, bringing reconciliation and oneness.
"Cintā kabhī mat karanā."
"To see thyself in each and every entity — this is the first step of self-realization."

The Thirsty Horse and the Path of Spirituality
1:05 - 1:57
|
From: 19 Aug 2018
The human soul seeks direction amidst universal stress, which persists from childhood through old age despite our efforts. We are like a thirsty horse frightened by the noise of a water pump; to drink, we must accept the noise. Our spiritual thirst must be quenched within the world's clamor.
Time is an unstoppable reality, and individual karma is an inescapable truth that guides our journey. Good and bad actions create impressions upon the soul. The mind and its desires bind us, as illustrated by the transformations of Vālmīki and Tulsīdās. Liberation requires dedicated practice without proclaiming spiritual attainments, for such claims dissipate power. We must walk the path with humility, performing our duties while maintaining spiritual focus.
"Time will not wait for us. It does not matter who is who."
"Karma goes with us like the shadow of our body."
