Today, Mahadeva is gracing us Thirumugam Aruliya Leelai means the leela of giving a
reference letter a introduction letter. The story goes that once there was a great poet, Baana
Bhadrar, who was the court poet of Varaguna Pandya, the king of the Pandya Kingdom because
of the request of the king the poet was singing every day in the Mahadeva Temple,
Somasundareshwaras temple. Sundareshwara took jewellery from the treasury and gifted to
Baana Bhadrar. One day to test the devotion of Baana Bhadrar, he stopped giving jewels but
Baana Bhadrar continued to he never bothered about his poverty he continued his service of
singing in Sundareshwaras temple, then finally Sundareshwara comes down and gives an
introduction letter, Go and meet this Chera King with this letter,he will give you wealth.
Maybe he wants to tell the world that Chera Kings devotion it was and he goes and apprises
Chera also in the dream saying that My devotee will come give him money, give him wealth.
So, this guy, Baana Bhadrar goes with the letter of Mahadeva to Chera King.
Chera King threw the whole treasury open to him and said, Take whatever you want
Baana Bhadrar takes little to take care of his life and to do a little charity, and comes back and
lives happily for a long time. Mahadeva comes down even to given an introduction letter,
recommendation letter. Today, Mahadeva is gracing us in that leela, leela of giving
recommendation letter.

All right, I also wanted to share something from my own experience. Ffrom today you willbe
listening to alot of stories practical stories of from different people,because from yesterdaywestarted shootingone of my very important new talk shows is shooting is started. Yesterday
night we hadtheshooting, six hours shooting, eight to till two and I dont know what I am
teaching to them but one thing I can sayis thatI am learning a lot. I am learning a lot, lot, lot.
First of all I am learning patience,to sit and attend and I am also learning how the great
spiritual truths can be applied directly to the people who are on the ground level. Till now I was
teaching solutions,addressing attending to the upper middle class, middle class, sometimes the
lower middle class, , but now I am directly facing the people, not onlytheeconomically poor,
please understand, economically poor is different,I have seen thousands of families
economically poor, theirtotal month income is hundred rupee, two hundred rupee,but
culturally also poor.
Yesterday there was a show, means there was a shootingwhere I was attendingtotwo families.
A husband and wife got separated after fourteen years of love loving marriage. Love Lovingmarriageoffourteen years they lived and then they separated. They have two kids and the son
is comingto meand crying to me and, please unite my mother and father my life is getting
wasted. and aAfter talking to both the kids I called the husband. This guy he comesinand says
the only problem I have is not big, justIjustdrink, and sometimes Icome and fight in the
house. Please listen, come to the space of listening-then once I calledinthe wifeandshe
opens opened the whole Pandora box, ! pleasePleaselisten, she openedthe whole Pandora
box,she says this guy had an affair before our marriage then he developed another one affair
recently recently,and hes handicapped, hesahandicapped guy. Then when she opensup
more and more I could understand,fortunately or unfortunately Ihavelived with millions of
economically poor people but never went and lived with culturally poor people . people. When
she opened up the whole story I could see very clearly, her mother,who must be around
seventy now is was havinganextramarital affair at the age of sixty five ,five,five years before,
just afew years before she hadanextramarital affair. So when I was trying to solve one issuewhen, whenI opened up,I could see whole PandoraPandorabox coming out. First thing I
thought, I was, I am so happy for my gurukul kids, because nowI saw have seen both the kids,
. actually Actually, the first thing I feltwas thatI wanted to tell the both the parents means
husband and wife., please send both the kids to my gurukul, but if I get got both of the kids to
the gurukul these guys wont wouldntstay together and the family wont wouldnthappen. It
was a chaos and this lady has had tried to commit suicide two times ice and this guy is
tellingsaying, no, no she tried onlytriedonce,another time shejustacted. I asked so once
trying is OK for you? I could see all the whole culturallyalso poorpoverty of thesepeople. First
thing,I was so happy that my gurukul kids doesnot need to be in that atmosphere, they dont
need to listen to these stories other than when they want to solve these problems. Directly I
put them in the space of solving all these issues. It took six full hours for me to sit and listen,
listen, listen, listen, listen and listen out. Finally both of them have joined together,together;
both of them have decided to live together. To make them understand I sat with the cleardecision I will not give up on both of them and you know when that lady came to the showshe
cameto the show onlywithonlyone condition-.I will not go back and live with him you talk
to him and get my. She came with only one condition, I will not go back and live with him,you

talk to him and get my settlement out of court. She has had already filedfordivorce,divorce;
she has already filed divorce, she said you get my share after the discussion. She was veryclear, andit took almost six hours for me to make both of them understandthat becausethis
guy because he is handicapped,he carries so much ofadeep inferiority complex. Tto find this
guys mamakara ,ahankara and swa anyakara and to find this ladys ahankara, mamakara and
swa anyakara and to help them to understand their responsibility and uniting them was a great
lesson for me,but I tell you,one thing I wanted to tell you-this is the good news-these
tattvas and the principles I am teaching worksfor even the lowest ground level people on the
planet. Understand no one can imagine, because here is somebody whose motherhashadan
extramarital affair at the age of sixty five andahusband who had one affair beforetheir
marriage and she knows it, andthehusband sells village arak and other drugs. The mother in
law sells village arak and she saysthemother in law is the a bigger drunkard than the husband,
she drinks more than the husband and she uses all other drugs, and it is her who sellsthedrugs.
Onceinevery few weeks or few months they go to court or to the police. Actually,when I heard
the whole story for a few momentsI thought, no,this isnt going to work out, this girl is rightthat she only wantsasettlement. Sheonlywants only her share because if you go to court it
takes so much of time,along timeforanything to , any settlement and whatever you get, and
more than seventy percent will go to the court, the lawyer andtheremaining little bit will go to
the police who gets the settlement done. So sheonlycameonlyto get the settlement without
much expense and time and energy wasted,but when I started the show,thefirst thing I
decidedwas thatI will not give up on them,and Ill see to itthatthe conflict is resolved and
both of them understand these principles. You see,especially people who are culturally so
poor, who doesnt have any idea whythey should docompletion, whythey needresponsibility.
Yes I was telling that ladythatyou she should be responsible forwhat happens tothe family,
happen you should give him one more choice. Immediately she says, if I am not responsible
who wouldvemade money every month, who wouldve worked hardand took taken care of
my kids?
20 min
See, responsibility means, she understand understood responsibility only from only one
direction-that is: earning a little money and feeding the kids, thats all! But I told her, No!
Understand, for your son and daughter to grow, just that money is not enough. They needa
father and mother, both! Then it was so difficult to make her understand. And then, Ffinally,
both of them have had somehowfinallyrealized,they werealmost about to settle. Now comes
the villain!,the twist to the whole story. The wifes mother comes and says, No! I will not
allow them to live together!
I thought, Oh, God! It is has alreadybeensix hours now! Iwillhave to start again! I have to
restart! She says, No! Even I mayevenkill my daughter, but I will not allow her to go and live
with her husband! Then I slowly started with that old lady. See, she did not have a husband.Her husband passed away at a very young age. I said toher, You brought up your daughter all
by yourself without her father. See what you have done! At the age of fifteen your daughter
ran away with this guy! Actually, they eloped at the age of fifteen. She was only fifteen! They

eloped! I said, see, what happened? Now, if your daughter brings up her daughter all alone
without the fathers presence in theirlife, your grand-daughterwillalsowillbe the same! Onlythen she slowly backed down. She thought, yes! I said, for a family to happen, the presence
of both is required. For a family to happen, the support of both is required. Nothing can
happen by one, by only one persons presence. Finally, they came to an understanding, Yes.
And to make each person understand, what is your responsibility, and what is your
responsibility..! I told her, Responsibility means allowing the possibility of re-starting.
Please understand, allowing the possibility of re-starting is responsibility!
Everybody thinks, when you are in suffering, life is over! Yesterday, literally in those six hours, I
had to give her the crash course of Inner Awakening! But I am happy, I am successful! I am
successful! I had to first start with listening. And I can guarantee that not with a single one of
the Inner Awakening participants Ihave I spent so many hours and listened! I listened! Not
only listening, but making her understand the story from the right angle! When she started
describing, I could see that because of her incompletions she started telling speaking as if thehusband has had cheated her and got married.
I said, No! You can use the words you have been cheated till you are eighteen, not after
that! Now she is twenty-eight. So, after becoming a major also, eleven years she lived with
him! I said, then, you cannot use the word he cheated you. That is wrong! That word is
wrong! Only for the fFirst three yearsonlyyou can use thoseatwords; as long as you are a
minor; not after you become a major! Finally, making her understand that she wascarrying so
much of pain! One fortunate thing is that they both are from Tamil Nadu. So they know all the
suffering I went through. So I started sharing from my own experience.
Listen!
She says, Everyone is talking about me and torturing me!
I said, Everyone talking about you is not torture. You talking it inside istorture! When I told
her my life example, immediately she said, that I understand! I can say that that was the
turning point for her.
And after yesterdays shoot, I really, very sincerely wantto do this conflict resolutioneven in
the morning satsangh, during the morning satsanghSatsang, I shoulddo this conflict resolution.
Because, how these great spiritual principles are solving your day-to-day problems! I made
her understand the responsibility and risks. And I made him understand his responsibility and
risks. Finally, I could see, the man, the man he may change, drop his habit of drinking and other
habits, and may live a new life. But making the girl/,wife, /woman understand that you she
hadveto stop the pattern of suffering, see because the pattern of suffering is worse than the
pattern of drinking, the pattern of suffering is worse than the pattern of drinking. That was the
real big job for me! That was the real big job, making the person understand! It is like, by the
time you make both of them take the responsibility and understand, the third one comes! By
the time I made everyone understand, I understood a lot of things about the human mind!

When you have the pattern of suffering, even the smallest things can make a strong dent in
you.
I have seen in India, the old Ambassador cars, it isthey areso big and heavy, even in the big
accidents only the front portion will be a little damaged. But nowadays cars have come like a
soap box. Evenif you reverseinside the housegarage if you reverse, if you hit this side or that
side..over! It is actually our capacity. Finally, I could see, the husband, whatever he does, all
the problems he does, he forgets. And the wife, whatever problem is given, she multiplies it
with by ten-thousand! Reminding and making the husband responsible and the wife
responsible, and finally awakening them to come to terms with the reality, awakening them to
why stable relationships are important, why the life is important!
I can say, working with the minds which are in the down level, culturally poor, I can say, almost
sharpens my ability to help, guide and support people.
Layers and layers of human unconsciousness! The only good news is,even the layers and layers
can be burnt, melted away by these great spiritual principles of Integrity, Authenticity,
Responsibility and Enriching! To make these people come to that understanding -, Integrity,
Authenticity, Responsibility and
Enriching. Sometimes, people may look the same. But only when you open them up.!
Yesterday, it was an eye opener for me. A person who has lived in villages andon theground
for years, who has seen all types of people, even for me it was an eye-opener! And how each
one perceived themselves, and perceived the other!
And the weight of the past not letting the future happening! When I saw both their lives, I saw
very clearly the patterns of every one of our lives. I could connect with her; I could associate
with him. I told her, If I had a daughter, I wouldnt send her to live with this guy. But if my
daughter had another daughter, I will would send her to live with this guy, because, the past
cannot destroy the future. Things may look the same, but it is not the same. Please listen, toevery statement I am making! The past cannot destroy the future. Things may look the same,
but it is not the same!
You may think wonder how both are connected. Ill tell you how both are connected. When
you think the possibility for future transformation is not there, your past has destroyed the
future. The future will be alive only with the clarity that the possibility of transformation is
there,thepossibility for new is there.
I have a story for you:
Two men are dragging their feet in the park.
The first man points to his foot and says, Vietnam, 1969!
Understand, two men are approaching each other on a sidewalk in a park. Both are dragging
their feet as they walk. One man looks at the other and knowingly points to his foot and says,
Vietnam, 1969!
Vietnam war, 1969!

The other man points to his foot and says, Dog crap, twenty feet back!
If you have not got it, you are sleeping!
Both may look the same, but they are not the same. Listen! Because the second man knows
that after a few minutes his past is not going to affect his future. But the first man, his past is
going to affect his future! The man who lost his leg in the war, his future is going to be affected
by the past! And if you are lost in the past, you will only see war. And, I think, the man who
lost his leg in the war, even his handicap became his pride, his suffering became his pride!
Life, in all its complications, chaos, confusions! And I could also see in the couple, after some
time they started enjoying their pains and complications. And. All theirpains and complications
became almost like part of their life. Not only they started accepting, they started enjoying
too! I could see this man, to forget his problems, he creates more problems! And, to forget his
problems, he creates problems for his wife, and then he says, I am solving her problems so thatshe will have a little sympathy!
Finally, I could understand one thing, because I listened, listened, listened, andallowed her to
complete, re-live and complete, I could see the weight of her past dissolved. She decided to
live with him. And he decided to drop his old patterns and lifelive.
Originally, the shoot was planned for three hours, but I got so involved, and I decided, with this
truth that, I commit, till the case is solved, I am not going to get up! Above all, I have decided I
will not to give up on both of them. And I could see, in the end, even they felt, Wow! Not
giving up on people is such an important truth, such an important necessary principle in ones
the life!
Understand, I think everyone of our disciples,disciples;all our centers should take up this as thereal service. You should go to all the areas, andrelate with people where people they are
culturally poor, spiritually poor-,not just economically poor. I am not saying go to them and
just give them a little medicine or, a little food and come away. That is a nice way of cheating
and misbehaving with people. I tell you, going and giving food and a little medicine is the worst
abusal abuse you do to people! My sannyasisSannyasis, our Sangha should take the
responsibility of giving them the spiritual treasure, giving them the spiritual knowledge, the
spiritual culture,culturebecause their real problem isthatthey are spiritually poor, culturally
poor! If they spiritually become rich, culturally become rich, naturally,,they will know how to
become economically rich. I wanted all of our centers, ashrams, temples, home temples,
satsanghSatsang centersCenters, to take this up as a lifestyle -, send volunteers to the areas
where spiritually poor people live, culturally poor people live, and educate them, give them
spiritual culture, spiritual understanding, spiritual truths and spiritual strength!
The essence of todays satsanghSatsang:

If you can give spiritual strength to the culturally poor, spiritually poor people, I can say, you will
never give up on you,yourself;you will learn all thefullknack, technique of not giving up onpeople and not giving up on you! Because I helped them yesterday by not giving up on them,
now I know more and better ways of customizing, tailoring these truths to more people in a
better way. And I even know how to handle me ME in a much better way!
I will move to the Nirahara Samyama.
With this I request all the Nirahara Samyama participants, please sit straight. Close your eyes
and cognize you have become Bidadi Kalpavruksha. Inhale through both nostrils and the
mouth. Hold as long as you can comfortably, and exhale through both the nostrils, as slowly as
possible. I bless you all! Let you all experience Kundalini awakening and live health, bliss and
enlightenment by producing the energy directly from space! Namah Shivaya!
I bless you all! Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility and Enriching, witheternal bliss, Nithyananda! Thank you!
