PUNCH LINES AND STATEMENTS BY GURUJI

 

. Past, present and future are not conceptions, they are real. A person or a state, or a form, or something formless, but they are there. What is past? Matter is past, because it was created long back. What is Sustainer? Space is sustaining. Empty space is sustaining matter. And time is the great destroyer - that is Shiva.

.""Every human being is free to discover what his limit is, but we really have to exert ourselves to know our limits. We have to exert ourselves to discover what is limiting us and what are our limits, how far we can go, how far we can achieve. But very few people try that. We just always had a pattern of life: some family tradition, some social tradition, some country wise tradition. We never think beyond that. So the first thing for a yogi is to develop the capacity for free thinking. He must be able to take an objective view over himself, his family, his country, his class. Whatever is there, he must be able to think on that objectively. Then only his consciousness will begin to develop to a very great height. This free thinking should be achieved by everybody, who is practicing yoga. Otherwise what is the use of developing your consciousness if you cannot even think freely or take an objective view over all the humanity? Who am I? Am I Indian, or a Hindu or a Brahmin? I consider myself a citizen of this world. I am a human being. And today I can call myself an earthling. That’s what I am and that’s what you are. But because we are conditioned into so many things, we keep on thinking I am Indian, you are Pakistani, he is American, he is Russian, he is Turkish. We have to think beyond that. We have to accept the fact, that we live on this planet. This is the space age. We are earth beings. All the boundaries are political boundaries. Earth has been created with no boundaries. There is a song in a Hindi movie: «The birds, the water, the air - no political boundaries stops them». They don’t need a passport, don’t need a visa. They can go anywhere. So it is we human beings, who keep on creating the limitations for us.But we are growing out of our limitation, which we put ourselves. Thanks to our ancestors.""

. Read one chapter of Gita everyday loudly. Remember because Arjuna heard the Gita directly from Krishna within 18 days, all his enemies were dead and he recovered all his lost property. I noticed over the last 25 years, that if somebody is reading Gita every day, his enemies disappear. If they are strong enemies they will die, if they are not so big enemies, then they will become friends. Reading Gita is very important. And also by simply reading it aloud you will remove all the negative things from your life, and life will become more peaceful, more prosperous. Just do that, and everything will be taken care of. I have never seen a man or a woman who is reading Gita suffering. When I first came here and became the owner of this big property, many local people were creating problems. I don’t even remember their faces and names, but 160 people are dead. I was just reading Gita. And then I realized, that there is some connection, so I stopped going to talk to them or seeing them. I don’t want to create unnecessary trouble, so I stayed inside most of the time. Yoga is a very powerful practice, and you are being taught what is described in Gita itself.

. Everybody who is born on this earth is one in millions. It is not easy to imagine how competitive it was to be born. The competitions later faced during lifetime, are nowhere as fierce as the one for taking a birth.Millions of almost identical sperms raced for taking birth, and everyone amongst the racers knew that the winner alone would take birth; the laggards will all perish.We all are here after winning such race at our level. But lo and behold, we yet do not realize the importance of this hard earned human life. Should we fritter away such precious gift or should we harness this opportunity, which has fortunately come our way to make our life meaningful. Those who could imagine a wee bit about the competition of birth, made great efforts, conducted several experiments, performed penance, developed various schools of thought (which we call as Shastras) in order to attain totality! All this because it was so difficult to win this competition even once and even a thought of winning it time and again is almost impossible. For this reason we all who are born after winning this great competition, should not fritter away this great opportunity and develop ourselves in totality so that we no more need to participate in this competition.

. There are many people who are talking flowery language. Because nowadays I see that the words Kriya Yoga and Yoga has become a commercial commodity, so much commerce has been involved. But I received it for free from my Guru, and I give it for free. It is such a priceless thing that you cannot put a price to it. And it will always be for free. Yes! You have to awaken my interest in teaching you - that is enough.

. Saints are those persons, who are praying to a certain God. They are not studying their own nature. They may work against their nature to please their God - so they suffer. In yoga the first study begins with yourself. First you know about your true nature - then you know about the nature of God, because you are a part of it. The approach is different. And the result is different too. A saint receives what God gives him by grace or when he is pleased - no more than that. And in yoga you will achieve it by your own efforts.

. "I have observed that if a person practices yoga - sincerely, consistently, regularly, their desires get fulfilled automatically. That is more preferable. The best thing is if Nature Itself starts taking care of you. And after reaching a certain state, whatever the man utters becomes a mantra!"

. Yama means a spell of three hours. A Sadhaka, who can expand up to three hours, the dimension of prana that is manifested by means of breath; is called as a Sadhaka of pranayam. That human body remains unaffected after death for three hours is well known, a Sadhak who can expand the dimension of prana up to a yama, can realize the death during his lifetime by means of his temporal body. This is the real pranayam Sadhana.

. This is a journey from birth to death, and this is the path of life. You tell me, who can deviate from this path. There’s no chance. Now it's possible that sometimes we pause for analysis, sometimes we relax, but there’s no possibility of getting lost.

. "Only he, who is lost in the crowd of his thoughts, is afraid of facing a crowd. Whereas the one, who has singled out one particular, thought from the multitude of thoughts and has practiced to bring it forth, can face the world all by himself."

.To go beyond karma means that you go beyond the physical limitations. Your body directly represents all your past karmas. Khechari mudra is very important in that and the higher practice of Pranayam will take you beyond the physical limitations.
