Let me explain what I mean by tuning. We all know how the radio works, don’t we?

Yes Swamiji…

Alright, the same radio, without any change in its physical form, can be connected to many radio stations airing different programs, is it not? While you are listening to a particular station, if there are any disturbances or cross-talk, what do you do? Tell me.

We fine-tune it Swamiji.

Exactly! To listen more clearly to any one station, you need to fine-tune it, that’s all. Now, just apply this same concept to tuning ourselves to Existence.
There are thousands of programs happening around us. Whatever we tune ourselves to, that we will experience. Now, tuning to any one program is purely our own choice; any one objecting to this? No. You have the freedom to choose the program you wish to listen to, am I right?

(The audience murmur) Yes Swamiji…

In the same way, if you choose to tune yourself with the chaos that is created around you by human minds, you will become chaotic. You will be caught in the never-ending whirlpool of worry, discontentment, dilemma and what not.

Whereas, when you choose to tune yourself with Existence, with the central chord that is running this whole show, you have caught the right thread in all the chaos that is around you and will be free from all these emotions. You will become a beautiful flower that blossoms with a fragrance.

With the earlier emotions, life will seem like an eternal state of discontentment. With the latter, life will become music - the very language of Existence, and you will only enjoy with gratitude all the time. The more you fine-tune yourself with Existence, the more ecstatic life will be.
