Exploring and discovering our various innate possibilities


Scripture Bhagavad Gita. Chapter 5 : 5th verse.

Chose to post this, because Swamiji did not only deliver it as discourse, but He even gave it as glimpses of experience to many, for I can speak for myself. Below is His message.  Great click (initiation):


Swamiji said, “Intense Contemplation is necessary to refine the intense actions so that the actions are not caused by the illusion component of delusion which is maaya. Actions even if intense, driven by maaya of the world, will not make one realize the higher truths of the self, divine or the world.

Instead if the illusion component is removed from delusion, what remains is divine. For example, in Vedanta, there is a beautiful simile where, in the darkness a rope is mistaken for a snake and makes one to have fear and run away. The illusion of snake, makes one to have the delusion of fear and intense action of running away. Removing the illusion in delusion, will makes one to not act at those moments.”

He revealed that, exploring and discovering one’s various possibilities in the physical level is yoga; in the mental level, it is siddhis (extraordinary powers); in the emotional level is bhakti (devotion and feeling connection with the divine energy) and in the conscious level it is enlightenment itself. Swamiji inspired all his followers to start sharing the truths and concepts which they have understood, immediately with the world. He said, this is a technique which will lead to exploring and discovering their own possibilities even if in the beginning it seems like a small stream, it will start expressing like a gushing river. 

Swamiji declared that all the Dhyanapeetam Centers, meditation halls, schools, temples, healing camps will stand as reminders to human beings to explore and discover all their innate possibilities. Paramahamsa Nithyananda recalled how in his own life from the age of three, his Yoga Guru, Raghupati Yogi trained him in intense yogic practices which prepared his system to experience the higher truths when uttered to him, by another enlightened master Ramsurat Kumar.

He said, that by intense samyama – exploring and discovering one’s possibilities at various levels, the delusion of fear transforms into pre-cautiousness, the delusion of ego becomes self confidence and the arrogance transforms into a unique expression of one’s true self.
