Excerpts of 15-Jan- Satsang with Sri Sri in Borivali

GURUJI entered on the stage but the MC was busy talking on MIC, also GURUJIs MIC did not work initially…. Then he got another MIC

GURUJI: Everyone loves to keep talking on MIC...... But when I come then it’s only ME who talks :)......... Some people are still getting on the other side of street, getting late.... I could not wait & hence I came early J

AUDIENCE: GURUJI HAPPY SANKRANT

Sri Sri: Yes HAPPY SANKRANT

Someone from audience gave HIM some gift.... HE said you had given it to ME in some other place :)

Is there a dance of the children? Let them do it.... is it on the stage? No…. ok I'll watch it on TV.

(GURUJI also participated in this event to cheer up the children & the crowd :)

MC informed GURUJI that all children who performed are from SSRVM & they performed the traditional LEZIM dance of Maharashtra.

After singing & dance (gaan aur naach), one should go in to silence. You must have observed that LORD SHIVA has 2 forms dancing & in silence. SHIV is SHUBH (auspicious).... First let us all meditate then we will discuss knowledge.

In meditation remember 3 things

1) ACHAHA: You are not doing anything.

2) APRYATNA: I don't want anything for next 10-15 minutes when we meditate, then we can ask for what we want.

3) AKINCHAN: You are nothing…... If you think you are very intelligent, dumb, poor, rich, sinful, or pious (punyavaan) even then you won’t be able to meditate…

YOGA means deep silence….. With this you would be YOGYA (Perfect) & your health would be good.

Keep spine erect………... How many of you cannot understand Hindi?

You know you have all the right to disturb the person next to you.... it is his/her duty to translate... :) Otherwise change your seat... People who are besides them should translate... In between I would also speak in English :)

First shake your hands to move from Tamogun(deep sleep/ lethargy) to Rajogun(active state) & then rajogun can be pacified by meditation..

Close eyes..............

Meditation was for almost 20 minutes... How many of you felt good? Raise your hands... Wow see we did not realize 20 minutes got over... Meditation should be done before our work/ after so that lot of Vikars (Mental Disorders/ Vagaries of mind) are removed………

Jitna vikaar kum hota hai utna sukh jyada hoga (the lesser the disorder of mind, the happier one would be& vice versa). To reduce this Vikar one has to do SADHANA, DHYAN, PRANAYAM, SEVA & SAMAJH (Understand)

Lets us see Samajh.. When do you get angry? When someone does wrong you get angry... Now that the incident has already passed... In present what is the benefit of thinking of the past?

I’ll tell you a story of Mulla Nasurrudin…. Many of you must have heard it from ME already. His son was raising glass vase. Mulla hit him saying it should not be broken. His friend asked him why he hit his son when the vase was not broken. Mulla replied “What is the use of hitting him after breaking?” ……LOL

PAST Event: The anger which is about the past, is the sign of foolishness. People ask me why don't YOU get angry? Whom should I get angry with for something that has passed?

FUTURE: How can one get angry upon for future event which has not happened?

PRESENT: If you decide be angry with someone for an event of present, then it is should equal to the anger of other person. Such anger causes only loss.

Hence we cannot get angry about future, no point in getting angry about past & that the anger of present causes only loss. Then why to get angry?

If someone repeats a mistake.... then you should show you are angry, but the very next moment you should be able to smile. How long should the anger stay? Do you know what is called as healthy anger?

So long as you can draw a line on water.... Show anger b'coz it gives good response, but getting carried away in anger is immaturity.

Sadhana protects the mind from mental disorders (Vikar) & to realize the connection with GOD is its completeness. Faith would shatter when SOCIETY/ NATURE would create not one but 100 obstacles. SATSANG increases the faith. Satsang does not mean attending bhajans. Satsang is the company of good people. Now do not ask who is good? Everyone is good. When you are in trouble what do you do? pick up the phone & keep complaining. Even if the person is not interested you keep going on & on. With your KATHA (story) & VYATHA (agony) you keep mourning in front of them. After talking to the person if you realize that your sorrow has increased & not reduced, then it’s not Satsang. A true friend reduces the sorrow. DUSANG is increasing the sorrow; make a mountain out of a mole hill.

Nature increases the obstacles to test your faith. But when you sail through it with a SMILE, then faith increases & there is a special power (anuthi shakti) arises. Do not think if your faith increases then you are obliging GOD. It’s a gift/ blessing from GOD. Only those who have tasted the bliss know it. SANKALPA SIDDHI is through faith. But the NATURE would increase your faith by creating obstacles. It checks if you have grown strong. Then NATURE would pat your back & say “Do whatever you want & I am with you” because your mind & that of universe is one.

LOVE, FAITH, HAPPINESS is a gift. All is gift only when you realize this & this is called GRACE (KRIPA). One has to be eligible for this grace (KRIPA PATRA). Then you would be helpful to yourselves & for others too. You would bless the society & neighbors’. Wherever you go people should like you right? This is the secret. The fragrance should spread from you. so we will be happy & others would also be happy because of you.

Audience: GURUJI we love YOU :)

I know you love ME. ME TOO……… I have not given you any choice... haan haan ( Waving hands as HE walks the podium & acknowledges them.)

DONT think I am not looking at you... Even if you sit in a corner, MY sight is on you.

See you talk on cell phone which is a small plastic/ metal box. It sends radiations in air & then it can travel the whole world. Do you think that the brain that invented would it be inferior to this cell phone? No not at all. The brain has infinite ability; it can get connected to anyone. It has an amazing transmission & receiving capability. ANTARDRISHTI SE DOORDRISHTI. (From introspection to being farsighted)

If the phone is off you cannot receive calls. You have to switch on phone & press the GREEN button to take the call. You are here already, so pick up the call by pressing the green button. That is Satsang/ faith :)

You might shake from path looking at the other people, especially the once who have built hospitals or done good social service. We do not know the plan of GOD. Why do they suffer? With FAITH you can cross all this. We do not know the complete story of others. We have limited vision. We do not know in which life what they have done that in spite of doing good deeds they are suffering now.

GURUJI said on sentence from GEETA by LORD KRISHNA which means

Jo kalyan karega uski kabhi durgati nahi hogi Arjun: Oh Arjuna one who endeavors for the welfare of others, he would never decelerate in life. One who takes the sankalpa (Intention) of doing well to others (Kalyankaari) would not have a problem.

LORD Krishna says leave all the tasks on ME... I'll wash of all your sins (Paap)... Do not use your Sadhna to cleanse your sins (Paap). Instead use it for surrender.

How to surrender? What do you mean by SURRENDER?

Look if there is a marriage then one can bridegroom becomes son in law in a day. Similarly SURRENDER is not that difficult. So when would you surrender? After 10 years of Sadhna?

NO it is to be done now.

Are there any questions for ME? Only take bright/ intelligent questions

Don’t ask questions about marriage or city etc………….For all those Choice yours blessing is MINE.

Q&A

==========

Q) How to sustain the inspiration?

Sri Sri: Never try to hold on to joy, happiness or inspiration. The more you try to hold on to it, the shorter it stays... If you have to be in knowledge pick up your cell phone....

How many of you have cell phone? Now a day’s who so ever has ears has cell phone. Tomorrow it might be even a donkey might have cell phone. His master would call him on the phone & then the donkey returns LOL….

type JGD SPACE GURUJI (GURUJI comes before chela J) SPACE write full name.... don’t write ballu (for Balvinder) or Viky(for Vikram), Chintu/ Mintu 56363........ send sms...

Example:JGD GURUJI VIKRAM

Send this to 56363

How many of you are engineers? All of them get together …. AOL has completed 30 years, hence you take up a seva that you clean up the streets in Mumbai.

Doctors should keep 3 free medical camps in DHARAVI... If doctors put up such camps it is good.

Professors/ Teachers: 3 poor children should be sponsored/ given free tutorial classes.

IN our body the biggest organ is SKIN & we apply so many different kinds of chemicals on that. We get so many diseases b'coz of that. Use herbal products that are good for skin.

Q) My parents oppose me, but I want to do Seva with AOL?

Sri Sri: They are afraid that you would run away & become BABA. First take parents blessings & then become a knowledgeable person. It is not necessary to run away from family. You can stay with them & do seva.

Q) (From GERMANY) why is the 30th year anniversary celebrated in BERLIN?

Sri Sri: The 25th anniversary was in India & US & there was nothing in Europe. We would be having it in the historic stadium of Olympics after 75years. Not for WAR, but we will be giving the message of PEACE... Those who want to come from here can join...It’s on July2nd & 3rd July 2011.

Q) Do you know everything about us?

Sri Sri: Why should I know what’s the use? Cross over them I know this :) By trying I can come to know but what is the use?

Q) How come you are the best social & spiritual entrepreneur?

Sri Sri: Keep your spirit & creativity high

Q) Is it true a devotee who has strayed off the path can come close to YOU?

Sri Sri: I feel everyone is close to me. It they don't then it’s there problem.

Q) Do YOU keep angels as your bodyguard?

Sri Sri: Do u mean the bodyguards around here are troubling you :) The security here has a very tough job.

Q) What is Chetna/ Consciousness we use it so many times? What is its true meaning?

Sri Sri: PAUSE for a moment... what is happening now? What would I say? Focus on one who is asking, listening, understanding that is CONCIOUSNESS.... it means life force.

Q) GURUJI I am a youth but I don’t want to join politics, then how would I contribute to society?

Sri Sri: Politics is not the only way to improve in the society. Join NGO there are many other avenues. Religious, financial, Social organizations …………Choose some other path if you are not interested in politics. But do not forget to vote.

Q) Is AOL building up an Ashram in Vasind?

Sri Sri: Yes there is a team working on it, talk to them. You can go there & sit in silence for 4-5 days.

Q) Some people have attitude I know it all how to deal with them?

Sri Sri: SMILE ... you have your right for ignorance

Q) How do I improve prioritization?

Sri Sri: Whatever is good from long term basis that depends on your taste. Do not worry automatically things will fall in place.

Q) During meditation I see lot of thoughts/ events is this hallucination?

Sri Sri: Sometimes it might be. Some people claim to be modern Radha. They say that they are one with Radha. There might be some fact, some imagination (kalpana) of mind. This can be yogmaya.. like mahamaya, mohamaya etc. Until your mind is not calm, do not deny or pursue it. Just observe this is very important for a SADHAK.

Q) Do you accept Darwin’s theory of evolution?

Sri Sri: DASHAVTAR.... looks like you have forgotten this... varha, matsya... etc

His theory has many loopholes. He had linear thinking. Whole world used to think the same, before quantum physics came in place about 20 years ago.

ANADI-ANT.GOD/ SOUL do not have a beginning or end. NATURES, GOD & SOUL are all one

Q) Can I make spiritualism as my career? (Question from Bangalore)

Sri Sri: Yes it’s a tough career though. It’s tough since spirituality is giving away whereas in career you want something. The society needs you in every nook & corner of this country.

Q) I play so many roles like of a student, a Hindu, a devotee….. What is the order of this?

Sri Sri: First & foremost it should be a beautiful human being then Muslim, Hindu, Christian etc.

Q) Where should parents draw a line between guiding the children & interfering in their life?

Sri Sri: Your children would be happy if you understand them. Do the KYC (Know your child KYC)/ KYT (Know your teen) 2 hrs 2 day workshop & you would be able to guide them better.

Our identity should be presented with pride. Don’t deny that you are an Indian. You are Indian & then you are a Maharastraian. In Maharashtra also you can say that you are from Vidharba etc. If someone says that your religion is Hindu, don’t think other religions are wrong. All are ours, but what we are we are. It was a flaw in few years ago; people were hesitating to say I am Indian.

Q) It is said that when time is right GURU chooses the disciple is it true?

Sri Sri: It’s a right time, I am here & you are here.. :) LOL

GURUJI looked at the MC & said that the MC wanted to talk ….....Sometimes the MCs talk more than ME... for ME its helps :)

INDIANS should not lose the cultural roots

How many of you have not read Bhagvad GEETA?

BAAP RE BAAP.... pickup one copy of Geetapress or some other simple translation of Geeta from Sanskrit. Not the one with commentary, simple translation from Sanskrit. In one month you can finish reading it…… Raise hands would you do it? Today itself start reading Geeta.

There was a diary of 2011 with GURUJIs quotations inaugurated at HIS hands. GURUJI says now a day’s people don't write diaries, but are stuck up to computers :)

An album was released “WAVE of DEVOTION”.

GURUJI said that AMLA RUIA has written ASHTAVAKRA GEETA (AVG) in Hindi it’s very beautiful

He called Nehaji saying she has worked very hard day & night. Amol Wagle....He was asking us all this years to come to Kandivlii. GURUJI appreciated the decoration. HE called for Venky to hand over a gift.

GURUJI read out some sentences from Hindi AVG.

MAIN HOON NIRANJAN SHAANT......

Calls for Prarthana, Jayesh & said that there are many others who have worked hard.. Give a big hand for all.

Sri Sri: There is new drink OJASVITA... I spoke to the Ayurveda doctors that all the medicines don’t taste good. Not only children even the adults don’t like it..... so I asked the Ayurveda doctors to make something that is tasty & is good for Nervous system. That is this OJASVITA…… like bournvita. You can have it with milk/ water.... whom should I give? Jayesh is coming....

Creativity is good........ Ojasvita is tasty to drink & good for health...

BHAJAN
