MONTCLAIR, CA.
My message this year is to celebrate the existence of Jeeva, Eshwara, and Jagat - Self, God and the World. When you celebrate their existence all three will reveal their mysteries to you. Please understand that this is not a moral advice. It is a spiritual technique.
You will never be able to realize your self, understand yourself, until you accept yourself and celebrate what you are. As long as you are fighting with what you are, you will never be able to realize yourself. Usually we carry two identities, one is ahamkar the other is mamakar. Ahamkar means the identity which we present to the world, project to the world. How we want the world to see us. The next is mamakar. The identity you believe is you.
Jayanti Celebrations.
Our whole life is nothing but the fight between this ahamkar and mamakar. The struggle between you and you eats the whole life. Stop. Just accept and celebrate whatever you are. You will see that you are realizing the self. The self-realization is postponed again and again and again just because of the fight between you and you. The moment you stop the fighting suddenly you see both the identities disappear into the realization that ahamkar and mamakar exist just because of the tension between them. Whatever you are accept and say a deep Yes to you as you are. Suddenly you will see that ahamkar and mamakar just disappear. Accept and celebrate the existence of your self as it is. Neither you need to develop the self in the outer world, nor do you need to develop in the inner world. Accept and celebrate, suddenly you will see the self will be realized.
Next let us look at Jagat - the world. Understand all the difficulties, problems between you and the world is just because you do not look at the world as a mystery. Continuously you are trying to overrule the world with your logic. You are trying to understand the jagat with your intellect; instead of celebrating, instead of accepting, instead of enjoying. You are just analyzing, segregating and trying to bring it under your control. If you are continuously using your logic, analyzing and judging - trying to bring things under your control you will miss it. Just accept and celebrate the existence, nature, the world with all its different dimensions and paradoxes.
Do not judge. Continuously we judge something is right, something is wrong. Something is supposed to happen. Something is not supposed to happen. Whatever happens is auspicious. In Sanskrit, the word Shiva means causeless auspiciousness. For no reason, the mangalatwa, the auspiciousness is overflowing. Everything that is happening in your life is increasing your frequency, raising your intelligence. Causeless expansion is happening.
In the whole world there are only two kinds of people living. One, the person who feels whatever is happening in the world is against his will and has to be changed by constantly trying to alter, trying to judge, trying to criticize things happening in the world. There is another group, a rare group, who feels whatever is happening, is causeless auspiciousness, Mangalatwa, Shiva. Whoever feels whatever is happening is auspicious inside and outside, lives like Shiva. They live in Shiva consciousness. They live in eternal bliss. They live in celebration.
Understand every happening including disease and death has a message for us. They have something to teach us. Even they raise our intelligence, raise the frequency of consciousness. In the whole drama of the cosmos, everything that happens in your life brings auspiciousness to you. Brings mangalatwa to you, adds to you. Look at the world as a mystery, as an intelligent mystery. When you understand it is an independent intelligence, a mystery; everything happening in your life will open itself and tell you the lesson it has brought. When a suffering comes to you, if you approach it with a non-acceptance, a resistance, it'll create only pain in you. It will only add suffering to you. If you approach the same incident, same suffering with a deep respect and acceptance, suddenly you will see the same suffering reveals its mysteries to you. It'll show you the cause, why it happened in your life and the lesson it brought to your life. Everything happening in the world is auspiciousness including what you call natural calamities. There's no such thing as inauspicious. One group lives like Shiva. The other lives like Shava – dead body. Whether you want to live like Shiva or Shava you decide. Understand the cosmos is causeless auspiciousness. The Prapanja is the reasonless, causeless Shiva . Accept and celebrate the very existence of the world – the Jagat.
The third, Eshwara is the source for Jeeva and Jagat – the self and the world. As long as you carry doubt or faith about the existence of God, you don't experience God. Understand, just like doubt, faith is also an obstruction. I have seen people who believe but never try to experience. They continue to believe, believe, and believe but do not do anything to experience. So now, drop both your doubt and your faith. The moment you see an object in front of you, you know the Creator exists. If the creation exists the Creator also exists. The very presence of the creation in front of you proves the existence of the Creator.
He is just creativity overflowing for no reason. He is just constant creativity which is expanding, expanding, and expanding, a constant Big Bang. Creation, created, and Creator all three expresses as creativity. Celebrate the existence of creativity. The very existence of creation is the solid proof that the Creator or the creativity exists. Just celebrate the existence of the independent intelligence. Celebrate the existence of God as creativity.
When you celebrate the existence of these three- Jeeva, Eshwara, and Jagat; Self, God and the World, suddenly you will see these three barriers are created by your unconscious mind. There is no barrier, it is just pure existence, pure consciousness, pure celebration what we call as Sat, Chit and Ananda. Understanding that Jeeva, Jagat and Eshwara are not three different entities and then celebrating the existence of this ONE core is what I call Living Enlightenment. Understand and celebrate the existence of all three.
Suddenly you will see only celebration will exist, all three will disappear into the celebration. When that happens; that is what I call Nithyananda, the Eternal Bliss. Live Enlightenment, Live Eternal Bliss, Live Nithyananda.
Let you all achieve, radiate, celebrate the eternal bliss,
Nithyananda.
