SELF –
REALIZATION IS THE GRACE OF THE GURU
Self-realization
and knowledge – these things don’t depend on public opinion. It is a thing from
the Guru who graces this happen to whoever is seeking. If he’s lucky enough to
find a real yogi, real person – he will give him knowledge. And whatever he
will achieve will definitely don’t depend on public opinion. Of course they are
ready to give their opinion; but they are not experts in the subject, all about
spirituality. They just know what is propagated by different religions – that’s
it. Your self-realization will not depend on public opinion, remember that.
WHY WAR
HAPPENS?
Why war
happens? As I
see as a yogi: when a person thinks that Earth belongs to him and only he has
the right to live – they go to war to gain more territory and to take
everything which is available – every resources, whatever is available on
Mother Earth; they want to be a master of it.
And as a
yogi I think: if
we will start to see that every living being has the same right to live on this
planet as I do, when everybody will begin to feel like that – then it will be
the permanent state of the peace in this world. As long as there will be
warriors – war always be there.
Here I
will quote Jesus Christ: blessed are meek, for they shall inherit the kingdom of Earth. Maybe he
was talking about democracy; because there is no war, we’re not warriors but we
still have right to vote, we can create governments and we can undo them also.
When we will begin to respect each other’s equal right to share this planet – I
think there will be peace permanently.
PEOPLE
WITH CLOSED EYES
Q: we’re practicing with closed eyes?
Guruji: most of the world is living with
closed-eyed people; sometimes we try to open them. Most of us pass through life
with closed eyes. We need to open them from time to time.
There
are 2 type of blind people: one who are physically blind, and others who are mentally
blind. World is full of them.
LIVE
CREATIVELY
Develop
imagination:
some creativity will definitely come to you. You must pass your time in a very
creative and interesting and entertaining way. If you will not do it – Time
will definitely pass you. We all have the very limited time: so use it in a
very creative, entertaining and good way – before He decide to pass you. He
already passing.
BE CLEAN
About
cleaning and cleanliness: we’re saying in India – even if the dog is sitting on the ground he
brushes the ground with his tail. We are human beings – we need to be much more
cleaner than this.
LIFE
AFTER DEATH
Q: could the spirits have friends or
even families on the other side?
Guruji: it is possible and it happens that
way. Mother of one of my disciple – she was also disciple; when she was dying,
her granddaughter made her promise: that you promise, you come back and tell me
what’s happening there. We placed her there and after one month or so she came
back in her dream and said: as it was here – so it is there. No big difference.
And then she went away.
Q: but no big difference because You
guided her?
Guruji: maybe because of that.
Q: but for normal people?
Guruji:
for normal people it’s a big problem. It is a problem like this, suppose: without
knowing the language, and no money, no identification, you just appear out of
nowhere in big airport, naked; what you will face? Same thing. No
communication, no money, no identity, nothing.
Q: when somebody from there coming
back to life temporarily, it was several cases when their relatives saw them
like in flesh and blood; what bodies they are using and how does it work?
Guruji: when somebody appearing like that
after cremation had happened – it’s a different principle working. Someone
very powerful helping them; and they appear as in flesh and blood – but
they be not in flesh and blood. Now more these things are happening.
The
example with Jesus: he set away from public life, after he returned, very few people saw
him after that. And most of the people who come back to life after death –
maybe it is a message for society: be careful, another life waiting for you. So prepare yourself well. In Mahabharata also, Yudhishthira
is asking Bhishma: do You know anyone who came back to life? And Bhishma
remembered and told the very ancient story as one time it happened. Now it is
very common thing. Books are written on that, people are discussing that; it is
a message from a very high person or power to tell us that there is life after
this life. I think it is education. We must try to do good.
Q: so You think now the line between
the worlds is more subtle?
Guruji: more narrow, yes. It may
disappear one day and I hope it will be the very good idea: guess if somebody
kill someone and a killed person immediately becomes a ghost and start to
punish him. then only human beings will become a little bit disciplined.
That was
the story of my disciple, who has the birth marks on his stomach – and he was
killed in his previous life by shooting exactly that way. He was also very much
afraid of firearms and he had an impression – I may die in an accident. And he
died in an accident. He had to live two lives instead of one; let’s see how his
karmic analyzing will come. it’s amazing that man who shoot him just was taking
lunch with me; then he was coming and just by looking on the face of the
colonel he remembered his past birth. He became so emotional; after colonel
went away – then he told me the story.
Q: his face were the same?
Guruji: no, only spots. Very serious
looking man, even sad looking.
Killers
lived the violent life – so most of them died violently, in the war or
something. He died in the war in 1971 – Pakistan war; but he was born with the
strong impression that he may die in an accident. And he died in an accident;
he was always driving very slowly, very carefully – but the car came from
behind and crushed him. so that program that he will die in an accident was
there from the beginning. And he was the very peaceful man this time, staying
away from guns, he refused the option to join the army also; he remain the
salesman all his life. It’s the big contrast when you study both the lives.
Q: he did so much efforts to avoid such
death – but it happened?
Guruji: so it was destiny.
Q: so it’s not possible to avoid it?
Guruji: no, you cannot escape your destiny.
It is the result of the karmas – so they will come. better to face them.
Q: what do You think – if he’ll be the
warrior in that life, not the salesman – he will die sooner?
Guruji: no, he will live exactly the same.
Q: but if we take Markandeya’s life?
Guruji: then Shiva was involved – which is
in itself an extraordinary thing. Rarest of rare.
Q: if he maybe live in ashram?
Guruji: but then it was his destiny also.
Maybe because all the tapas what he did in previous incarnations – that was the
climax of his life and the situation was created to happen like this.
Q: but if that guy will worship Shiva
or practice all his life?
Guruji: this thought never came to him. Such
things never came across him.
Q: it looks like he must die earlier?
Guruji: not earlier – he was 40 plus, has
wife and children; now his son is maybe 20 plus. He had a nice life – not rich,
but everything he needs he was earning.
Q: maybe it was his own mind who
creates that program of death?
Guruji: no, it was something else.
Q: don’t You think that after his death
he could sit with Shiva or Bhairava…
Guruji: no, they’re too high: it’s like you
set from your job and will sit with president Putin. Somebody very low is
enough. Directly go and sit with Shiva is too big.
Q: but can he ask someone on the other
side about his next life?
Guruji:
no, they are judge in a different, very stern way; life plan is given to them
and they have to go to that life plan exactly. Their mind is programmed that
way.
Q: maybe on this meeting he received
that knowledge that he will die in accident?
Guruji: yes, he was born with that
impression. First his cousin became my disciple – he is a good disciple; and by
the influence of the cousin he also come with him to see me. Then after 2 years
he asked for initiation which I did- but he didn’t practice much.
Q: if he will be the good practitioner
– his destiny may change?
Guruji: he would accepted the faith with
open arms instead of trying to move away from it.
Q: if he will do 144 mahamudras every
day?
Guruji: that will change something.
It will change all planetary influence, all his karmas and his destiny will be
different.
Yesterday
one of my disciples escaped death on 1 cm: he was coming with a bike and there
was police barricades. The car came in a high speed and kicked that police
barricade; the barricade flew and fell on his bike. Bike is no more – but he
survived without a scratch. He is a good yogi! But his mother said: ok, you
survive, but bike is gone!
ABOUT
SUICIDE
…If the
heart of the person is working, he’s breathing…
Q: but it could be done easily
technically nowadays?
Guruji: whatever – wait till he dies.
Q: but his life will depends on money
only: if I can pay – he will live, otherwise he will die?
Guruji: it’s great business, they will
squeeze every single rubl from the person whose dear person is dying. When you
cannot dive them another rubl – they just unplug all the machines and he dies.
It is good business for them; then another customer will come. again, it’s not
for long. You cannot keep him alive indefinitely, no matter how much they put
on him.
Q: it seems like our civilization is
not the part of the nature?
Guruji: we’re bacterial infection to the
Nature. Even bacteria are part of the nature.
Q: but if the person is so much
suffering – why You don’t support suicide in that case?
Guruji: I will say – if we believe in karma
and you stop consequences of all the karmas, results, which you’re going
through – then you will suffer again in the next life. It is better to clean
the slate now. Suffer now; suicide is not way out because more suffering
waiting for a suicide person.
Q: but if the person commits suicide –
what will happen?
Guruji: they keep suffer more and more even
immediately after life. Too much suffering.
Q: what kind of suffering?
Guruji: the mental suffering is
overwhelming, far more intense than physical suffering. I talked with one
ghost: 20 years before he committed suicide and he suffered more than 50
years. He was really fool: he committed suicide when he was 101; instead of
waiting few months or few days he committed suicide. He said: for 50 years I
suffered. I asked – what type of suffering? He said – you will not understand
but I’ll try to give you an example: the pain of childbearing – what pain I
suffered was 100 times more than that. For 50 years continuously.
Q: this suffer for this man finished?
Guruji: yes, then only he was talking.
Still it shocks me that he decided to commit suicide at the age of 101. That is
extraordinary situation.
OBSESSION
Q: if the energy in the lowest chakra
is broken the possession may come very easy?
Guruji: I have discussed with so many
ghosts – they never mentioned the word “chakra”. And I will say – every human
being is very proud of his possessions. Fame, money – we possess these things;
some ghosts are very proud to possess some people. You’re like money or profit
for them and they don’t care for chakras at all.
Q: for them it’s like achievement?
Guruji: possessing someone is like buying
the new car, have fun or just to fulfill their unfulfilled desires.
Q: but are You feel these chakras?
Guruji: I’m very sensitive, yes. They may
not be chakras; nerve centers – they are all over the body, you can сall them chakras. Yes, I’m sensitive
to it.
Q: I learn that there are three chakras
above the head?
Guruji: I offer my gratitude and respect
for those people, who know about these chakras.
Q: our brain is in the spine and in
the head…?
Guruji:
the main thing is: first you need to develop what is inside your head before worrying what
is above our head.
Q: I think it’s like extension of the
brain?
Guruji: until unless someone’s aura will
develop to that level when it will start to reflect something above your head;
till then there is nothing. Very highly developed aura will reflect them.
Q: Kriya works only with the chakras
inside the body?
Guruji: yes, we are after self-knowledge,
self- realization. First – self-realization, then outside realization. Charity
begins at home.
Q: how ghosts find the person to
possess?
Guruji: how the criminal finds the person?
He maybe the wrong person at the wrong place in the wrong time.
Q: so it’s not deliberate decision – I
will possess Vova or Olya?
Guruji: until unless there is some
connection of revenge, otherwise – no.
Q: You were saying that it’s not the
problem if you’re seeing ghost, problem is if ghost is seeing you?
Guruji: when ghost see you that you’re
seeing him.
Q: why ghosts doesn’t like when we see
them?
Guruji: it is their feeling of
privacy(smiling)
Q: before we see them they don’t see or
they don’t care?
Guruji: they don’t care. And also most
of the wild life people says: when you crosses animal – never look into
his eyes. Almost same situation here.
Q: if we see the ghost – what we must
to do?
Guruji: Nothing. No reaction. Don’t look
into his eyes – it may attract him, different type od reaction. Just remain
aware but don’t look at him.
Q: if we will look at him?
Guruji: he will be attracted to you and
maybe create some problems just for fun, unnecessarily. When you’re passing
some hard criminal you’re trying to ignore him, not to look him into eyes.
Q: what is the difference between
practice with the open eyes or with closed eyes?
Guruji: it depends on how much advance the
person has become. It depends on advancement of the practitioner.
Q: with the open eyes it’s more work
of the conscious mind and with closed – subconscious?
Guruji: we’re old fashioned, traditional
people – when a person reached a certain level it is suggested how to do with
open eyes or closed eyes, depending on the development of the person.
RENOUNCING
OF RAMA
When
Rama was discussing with Time it was a condition: whoever will disturb or
interrupt us – you will renounce him forever. They were discussing inside, Rama
and Kal, and Durvasa rishi came for something so Lakshman has to go inside.
Rama immediately renounce him. he went to the Sarayu river and just
disappeared. They are saying – 5 elements dissolved in their source and he
could seen no more. And first time He spoke through Shri Krishna: there is no
record that Kal spoke himself before. Never ever, and no one also said that Kal
can be known by yogis – it’s historical thing.
Q: from Bhagavad Gita 8th
chapter: …for sadhak is easier to know the brilliance of Time”; in comparison
with other practitioners?
Guruji: of course – who is practicing yoga,
developing his mind, his understanding is far more, his consciousness is
developed too much – he will understand.
Not a
bhakta who is just spending his time, singing the glorious name of the Lord. If
you repeat to say : roti, roti, roti or bread, bread, bread – it will not
coming to you. You will have to do some effort to make it and eat it or enough
money so you can buy it.
MIRABAI’S
PARAMPARA
It’s
just a reference from certain books that they had a meeting – Mirabai and
Nivruttinath. We believe that Nivruttinath gave her some information and
knowledge about yoga, because 60% of Mirabai’s work – all bhakti says that it
consists only of bhakti, which is true also; but she describes a lot of yoga.
Even about wearing kundals she’s writing in her poems. Nivruttinath is the very
famous name, he was the elder brother of Dnyaneshwar – who is legendary name in
India; elder brother and Guru of Dnyaneshwar. His Guru was Gahaninath,
Gahaninath Guru was Gorakhnath, Gorakhnath Guru was Matsyendranath and
Matsyendranath Guru was Adinath. Adinath – who was his Guru, nobody knows. That
is the lineage.
