Master's message in Guru Poornima 2007

I welcome you all with my love and respects.

Dear Swamis, Ananda Samajis, Ashramites, Disciples and Devotees from all over the world.

First of all, I give you my heartfelt blessings on this Guru’s day - Guru Poornima

This is a day to remember the Masters - all the Gurus, all the enlightened Beings. Traditions of inner Science respect Masters, enlightened Beings, as equal to or sometimes much more than God.

Who is a Guru?

He is a person who has achieved the Ultimate Truth as an experience and who can create the technology, the techniques, to reproduce the same experience in any human being. He is the one who can initiate others into the same experience that happened in him.

Understand the word initiation:

Initiation means making shaastra or knowledge into shastra or weapon, to fight your ignorance. If you are made to understand that whatever is seen is a projection of the seer, that it is the same stuff as what your dreams are made up of, then suddenly you will be out of your depression, stress and tension that is created by the outer world. Just know that your outer world is made of the same stuff as your dreams. You can be made to understand this by an Enlightened Master, by his words, by his body language.

Whenever you are in depression or stress, take these shaastras - shastras: Knowledge - weapons. They will bring you out of your depression.

The person who gives this shaastras - shastras: Knowledge - weapons, through his words, techniques and body language is a Guru.

The person who receives this shaastras - shastras: Knowledge - weapons, through the Guru, is the Initiated.

Masters may be expressing so many different ideas. Suddenly, some idea will ‘click’ for you. It will bring you out of depression. Suddenly, the shaastras - shastras: Knowledge - weapons will come out and bail you out of depression.

The totality of this shaastras - shastras: Knowledge - weapons sitting inside you is your inner Guru. Till the inner Guru is awakened, the outer Guru works on you. He works through words, techniques, his body language, and gives you the confidence to use the knowledge and above all to live the life of an enlightened Being.

A Master is a person who has created a Technology to reproduce the same Ultimate Experience that happened in him. Initiation is the technique. It is the shaastras - shastras: Knowledge - weapons, to raise yourself again and again to Higher Consciousness.

Blessed are those who had that ‘click’ with enlightened Beings. This click is not through logic. Suddenly, some words from the Master will get connected to your heart. You will suddenly know that he is your Master; that this is your path. That click is the initiation. Whoever felt this click through the Master’s words, his teachings, books, blessings, techniques, energy, or body language are blessed.

Today is the day to remember the great things added to your life through that initiation and to remember the great enlightened Beings who gave this initiation. To remember the dheeksha and the Guru, the concept of Guru Poornima was created.

Guru is a promise; he is not just an ideal.

Understand: the seed is always afraid of breaking open, of rupturing. The seed which ruptures and opens becomes a tree. The tree needs to give courage to the other seeds by saying: don’t be afraid, you will never die by breaking; you will only live; you will only expand like me. But the seed is waiting for the tree to happen and the tree is waiting for the seed to open!

I know the Truth what I am speaking. Oh! Sons of immortality, have the courage to walk.

This energy, this inspiration is the Guru. Today is the day to recount all that has been added to your life after the advent of the Master in your life. From the Master’s side it is an advent; from your side it is an adventure!

After the Master entered your inner space, all that has happened in it, it is time to remember, so that the trust, courage and confidence to open up is strengthened. Guru Poornima is for the disciple, not for the Master. For the Master, every day is a celebration - Nithya Utsav!

Take these two as my messages today:

Again and again, use the ‘clicks’ or initiation that have happened in your life. Any weapon not used will not only lose its power on you, but you will also forget how to use it. Again and again, the weapons that are actually used will bring clarity and courage to you and you will have the intelligence to use them also.

Add more and more of them to your life by listening to the Master’s words and use them. Add them to your inner space. Create a family, friends, a circle, which will constantly give you the courage and inspiration to use the shaastras - shastras: Knowledge - weapons.

Second: understand that a disciple-disciple relationship always leads to hell. Only when a disciple encourages or helps you to use the shaastras - shastras: Knowledge - weapons and increases your devotion and trust towards the Master, only at those moments, the disciple-disciple relationship can be tolerated. Only at those moments, he is a channel for the Master’s energy. Never ever tolerate it if it is not adding strength to the Master’s words.

Use these shaastras - shastras: Knowledge - weapons, again and again and bring yourself back to the Higher Consciousness. Create a community around you which encourages you to use this Knowledge - weapons to live the life of enlightened Beings; to express the experience of Masters in the day-to-day life; above all, to strengthen the devotion towards the Master.

In the name of sanga, the disciple-disciple relationship leads to vipareeda gnana - where you pick up only the words convenient to you out of ignorance. In this, both the guys are in ignorance and they judge the Master. As a result, both are at loss. When this happens, you need not travel to go to hell; you will straightaway be in hell. Don’t allow it to happen to you through dussanga - wrong connection with people.

So acquire and use the shaastras - shastras: Knowledge - weapons and create a community around you which encourages and strengthens the devotion towards the Master, which helps you internalize the Master’s words and leads you to Eternal Bliss - Nithyananda! This is my Guru Poornima message to all the people around the world. I bless you all on this Guru Poornima day with my heart and being. The enlightenment that happened in this body, let it radiate. Let you all experience, imbibe and live it.

I bless you all: let you all achieve and radiate the same Experience. Let you all achieve and radiate Eternal Bliss - Nithyananda.
