Description:

In today’s morning Satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda explains how the gift of bhakti is a powerful tool for completion. When we experience completion from the emotion produced by participating in higher consciousness pastimes, this is bhakti – spiritual devotion. Even when practicing Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, and Enriching, our intellect alone cannot withstand multiple failures and challenges. Only with bhakti can we build a strong foundation for life because with bhakti, we operate on completion, from a higher consciousness, and from a space of enriching.

Today’s Leela Dhyána is: “Mahadeva gives victory in the court for His female devotee”.

I will give you the story:

Once, when Rajaraja Pandya was ruling the Madurai Kingdom, he was jealous of a singer, Banabhadran, a great Shiva devotee. The singer would sing only in the temple, not in the palace.But, that king was so arrogant, he wanted the singer to come and sing in the palace. So he declared a competition between another female singer and Banbhadran’s wife. Banbhadran’s wife runs to Mahadeva, and comes to the palace and sings. Even though Banbhadran’s wife sang well, the king gives the verdict in favor of the other singer. Banbhadran’s wife tells the king, ‘Come on, your verdict is biased. Let us go to the temple and sing in front of Sundareshwara. Let Him give the verdict.’

So, the king goes to the temple and sits in the presence of Sundareshwara and the same competition is conducted and Sundareshwara entered into the heart of the king and because of Sundareshwara’s presence, the king could not give a wrong verdict and he gave the right verdict and she won the game!

So, the leela is Mahadeva directly intervening even in the small problems of people.

Please understand, He comes to you, not only to give enlightenment, but even to the court to solve your cases, to help you and to save you. Even from small things He is directly attending. Understand, that is the beauty of the Hindu tradition. We don’t keep Him only on a high pedestal; of course, we keep Him on a high pedestal, but He always comes down to attend even to the smallest things. So, He is great because He comes down, not just because He sits on a high pedestal! Not because He sits in the garbha mandir, but because He comes out of the garbha mandir He is great! He is great not just because He sits in the garbha mandir and receives the puja, He is great because He comes out of the garbha mandir and gives sarva darshan!

Today, Mahadeva is gracing us in the Leela of giving victory in the court for His female devotee.

I really wanted to tell you all today this one thing: Don’t take this Leela Dhyána very lightly or casually.

Listen to these stories. Contemplate whenever you have a little time. I am telling you, it will help you so much in the Completion. In the Completion process it will help you so much; because, please listen, it is not that Mahadeva was doing all these dramas only during the Pandya’s time or Meenakshi’s time. He is still continuing to do all the Leelas! He is continuously available! So, even remembering His Leelas will bring so much of Completion to your heart, I tell you.

Somebody asked Ramakrishna once, ‘O, Bhagawan, if you had not started teaching all of us, what would you have become?’

He says, ‘I would have taken the body of an old Brahmin lady who has become a widow while she was very young.’

In India, marriages were held at the age of six or seven. Sometimes, the girl will not even see the husband fully, and that fellow will die somewhere, and this girl will remain a widow forever.Ramakrishna says, ‘I will get that kind of a life where I am married at the age of five. Before even I went to the husband’s house, the husband will die; and I will be a child widow, sitting and having a small hut on the banks of the Ganga, growing my own vegetables; and having a cow for milk; and whole day I’ll sit and think of Krishna and His Leelas, drink the milk and eat the vegetables I grow, and I’ll spend my whole life in the Leela Dhyána of Krishna.’ He very beautifully describes in Bengali.

If I did not take up this Sangha work, if I have not taken up this work, all I will do is sit in front of our Anandeshwar and just be lost in the Leelas of Mahadeva which He has done in Madurai and, of course, all over the world.

I tell you, only people who understand the amount of Completion that bhakti can bring in your system….. Please understand, it’s altogether a different channel. How, what your wife talks you can never understand, what you speak your wife can never understand; what a bhakta speaks, a so-called normal man can never understand! That is why, these so-called normal men, they always call these bhaktas as crazy, and bhaktas always call these normal men as deluded or living in illusion. But, in my court, if the arguments of the bhaktas and the so-called normal men, the logical men, if it is brought, I’ll naturally vote for bhaktas. And, I tell you, the Cosmos votes for bhaktas!

Let me define “Bhakti”:

“People who experience Completion out of the emotion which happens due to the higher consciousness pastimes”.

Please understand, your pastime always leads you to incompletion. An incarnation’s pastimes always leads you to Completion. Your past always leads you to incompletion. An incarnation’s pastimes always lead you to Completion! If you constantly remember what you did when you were a child, you will be in more and more incompletion. If you constantly remember what Krishna did when he was a child, you will be more and more in the space of Completion!

Leela Dhyána! I tell you, Leela Dhyána is such a powerful space creator! Listen! Beyond a certain level,your intellect will not have the strength to create a space. For example, when you learn about the power of the space, you will create a space: ‘Come on, I am creating the space to build ten ashrams, five temples, three-hundred ashramites, two-hundred sannyasis!’ You will fail…..you may fail in one item, means you may fail in one dimension. You may be successful in some. You might have created ten temples, you might have created five ashrams, but you would have missed in the sannyasis number. When you fail in one, you lose confidence over you. Again you will create a certain space: ‘I am creating the space for this and working…..’ You may fail in one or two things.

Please listen, your intellect does not have the strength to stand up again and again and create the space and face those few failures when it happens in your life. But the emotion, bhakti, devotion is so powerful, it can create again and again tirelessly, the right space for you. That is why I tell you, always only the bhakti-based traditions survive and win the test of time. Never the intellect-based traditions; never the traditions which are basing themselves on intellect, withstand the test of time.

Please listen, what I am talking is a very important thing.

Your life is also one tradition. You may or may not know; you may or may not know, your whole life either you depend on your intellect or on your emotion. You may not be remembering Krishna, but you may be remembering some other leader, you may be remembering some other person whom you think as ideal. But, I tell you, devotion, bhakti, Leela Dhyána is such a powerful space creator!

Life is nothing but ability to stand up again and again and face it, how many ways, doubts, and depressions attack you. Doubts and depressions are so powerful, they attack you from all corners. Life is nothing but the strength to stand up during all these attacks!

I tell you, I sincerely tell you, do not believe or just depend on your intellectual clarity about Completion to save you and keep you in the space of Completion and take you to the ultimate space, continuously creating the right space again and again and again. If you think, ‘I am complete, with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility and Enriching, I am creating this space. This has to happen!’ great! No doubt! But, always there will be some corner, somewhere, in some one remote corner of your life, if you have some lack of Integrity or Inauthenticity, if that reflects in your results, please understand, listen carefully, you will lose faith over you completely and the philosophy with which you are living will collapse and tumble down! I tell you, again standing up will be so difficult. Even when you stand up, you will have so much of self-doubt.

20:00 min

I tell you, devotion, achieving Completion and creating the right space out of devotion will again and again make you stand up, will give you the strength to stand up without collapsing. Even if you fall, you won’t collapse. Only with intellect, by intellectually understanding Completion, Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility and Enriching, when you fall you will collapse. But if you understand with emotion, please listen, with emotion, with Leela Dhyana, with devotion, if you understand, even if you fall you won’t collapse and I tell you, when you create the space along with the feeling connection, emotion, devotion towards the higher consciousness, I guarantee simply failure disappears from your system, because Krishna is not a story, Sundareshwara is not a story, Meenakshi is not a story. I can’t even say it has happened. I only can say it is happening whenever you remember them. It is not pastime; it is present times whenever you remember them.

I tell you, when you create the space if your cognition has the emotional strength also, for example; you need to win in some debate, argument or some court case. Before going, remember this Leela, today’s Leela. When you can save your singer devotee in a court case from a biased judge, you can save me because you are not past, you are present. Create that space and go. I tell you, miracles will happen simply like a lifestyle for you. Miracles will become lifestyle for you!

Understand, I am not promoting any superstition, I am not promoting any lies, I am not promoting anything about which I myself have a doubt in a corner of my heart. No, I am very clear. Understand, this Leela Dhyana, remembering the pastimes. Please listen. Remembering your pastimes creates more and more incompletions. Remembering the incarnation’s pastimes creates more and more Completion and the higher space. Whether it is Krishna or Buddha, Mahadeva or Meenakshi, even remembering their Leelas, I tell you, even remembering their Leelas creates so much of Completion in you, it heals your Mamakara. Please understand, medicine for the Mamakara is Leela Dhyana. Your Mamakara is such a pain in the stomach and the head. See, your inner image is such a torture, such a pain, I tell you; Leela Dhyana is such beautiful nectar to heal, to heal your inner image. If you are struggling to get out of inner image, you should complete yourself with the devotion, with the bhakthi. I tell you, only bhakthi can really make you enrich and only Enriching can make bhakthi happen in you. If you had little bit of bhakthi, no one needs to pressurize you to enrich. Enriching, Enriching will be just your breathing pattern. Power of Enriching.

When I speak about bhakthi, I am stuck with words. It is like how Saraswathi goes underground. It is said Saraswathi goes underground it seems to wash the feet dust of the devotees. Same way my words goes underground whenever I have to speak about bhakthi just to wash the feet of bhakthas, devotees. When I remember these great devotees, how the Enriching becomes such natural part of their life. Even in our Sangha I have seen people who connect with me through devotion, they don’t need this lesson of Enriching. Simply, if they breath, wherever they go, whatever they do, it is Enriching, Enriching, Enriching!

I tell you, if you build your Completion with devotion also as a part of your cognition, then you will never fall into depression. You will have so much of strength it is like a steel inside the concrete. Just the concrete pillar without steel may collapse after some time but if the steel is there inside, reinforced, then naturally pillar, pillar life increases multi-fold. Please listen, I tell you exactly if you build your Completion of life just with the intellectual understanding of Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility and Enriching, it is like a just concrete pillar. If you build the space of Completion and the space for your life with devotion, it is equivalent to putting the steel rods; the space you create for your life will be multi-fold stronger, you will stand forever and enrich the world.

Enriching, Enriching devotees out of your devotion, Enriching the world with the clarity. I tell you, I only can request, please bring devotion in some form in your cognition. When it comes to devotion, even preaching or teaching is, looks very aggressive. It is such a sweet, soft component of the being. It can only be shared with a smile in the eyes or as the tears in the eyes. You can enrich people with devotion only based on the smile your eyes carry, please understand, not the smile your face carries or you lips carry. When there is devotion, eyes will have a smile. Only a person who has experienced it can recognize it.

In US, there are some secret groups. They have their own special practices, gathering. Even in the dollar note, their symbol is there. I forgot their name? Freemasons. See the way they shake the other person’s hands, they have a very like a technical signal which only the Freemasons know so even while they shake the hands, simple shaking of hands, they will recognize the other guy is also a Freemason. When they shake the hand, there is a special place where they will press the other person’s hand, which only Freemason’s know. So this is the way even in a party or group when you go and shake hands with people, if you are a Freemason you will know who are all Freemasons there. Just a simple handshake. They have a code, signal, very technical signal through which they will recognize each other.

Same way I wanted my devotees and disciples, Sangha, to recognize each other based on the smile they carry in their eyes. All of you guys should have devotion as the component of your cognition and that smile in the eyes, not just in the lips. Lips may, may not have, that is different; but the smile in the eyes is more subtle and more powerful. Smile in the eyes happens when your heart melts in devotion for the right reason, in the right context, with the right Completion.

I’ll give the essence in Hindi.

38:20 Hindi - 40:07

So, the essence of today’s satsang:

Let your heart rise with devotion. The Completion achieved along with the devotion is more strong, more powerful, more stable, more successful.

Let you all achieve, experience, live,express, radiate, share and explode in eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
