The Guru’s Divine Vision
Satguru’s divine vision is like the foundation of the Maharana place — the foundation of all the worlds, the pillar for the construction of a dance hall, or the world as the stick around which the colored stone is set. What is clairvoyance? What is Sadguru’s clairvoyance? It is known through this hymn.
Whatever is the basis of your life is your career. Whatever is the center of your breath is your center. Whatever is based on your center is life. What is the basis of your life is the point. Whatever is based on your point is the root. That which is the basis of your origin is Aadi. Whatever is based on your Aadi is Para. Whatever is the basis of your Para is the root. That which is the basis of your origin is the spirit.
From Philosophy to a Lived Career
Tvamasi has been taking the journey of man from philosophy to the profession. Tvamasi means sattvasvasvarupa — a career is the life you live now.
How Others Shape and Distort You
- If your mother does bad things to you, your mind will be distorted.
- If your father does evil to you, your body will be deformed.
- If your siblings do bad things to you, your mind will be distorted.
- If blood relations and relatives do evil to you, your will will be distorted.
- If your friends do bad things to you, your pride will be distorted.
- If the world treats you badly, your heart will be twisted.
- If all of nature is bad for you, your soul will be distorted.
You feel aversion to what is not good for you, and you become interested in what makes you feel good. You have to win both:
- Man
- The world
Never miss a win in your life. Never lose your glory in your life. Don’t lose sight of what gives value to your life. Don’t miss an opportunity to value your life.
What Establishes Your Life
- It is your father who established your body.
- It is your mother who establishes your mind.
- It is your friends who establish your pride.
- Relatives will establish your decision.
- It is society that establishes your will.
- It is the world that establishes your education.
- Nature establishes your bond.
- You are the one who establishes your desire.
- Time establishes your change.
- It is destiny that establishes your experience.
- Maya is the foundation of your dreams.
Whenever you travel as you are, you will reach your destination. If you want to travel as you are, the destination that is in your breath — the secret that is in your breath — must be accessible to you. To know it, you must sit in front of the Guru. You must walk with the Guru.
The Path of Sacrifice and Strength
Your body believes in weakness. Your mind believes in hopelessness. Your heart believes in disease. Your soul believes in sorrow.
The body has no real meaning until it becomes weak. The world doesn’t make sense to your mind until you feel helpless. Your heart doesn’t understand reality until it gets sick. Your soul will not understand the truth until sorrow comes. Man means nothing until all is gone.
Sacrifice weakness and your body will become stronger. Sacrifice helplessness and your mind will be strengthened. Sacrifice disease and your heart will be strengthened. Sacrifice grief and your soul will be strengthened. Sacrifice attachment to man and your life will be strengthened. By sacrificing this world, your bond with God becomes strong.
Conquering the Three Enemies, and the Two Paths to God
If you conquer all three, your life will be fruitful:
- Raaga (attachment)
- Hatred
- Ignorance
Two Tattvas are the favorite of God:
- Eternal philosophy
- The philosophy of sacrifice for the eternal
There are two types of relationship with God:
- Mother’s love form — the embodiment of motherly love, which is the union of God in you.
- Chaitanya Prema — the embodiment of conscious love, meaning that you become one with God.
Remember the bond with God and remember nothing else. Fill your body, mind, heart, and soul with the bond of the Supreme Soul, and you yourself will shine as the Supreme Soul. Spreading the bond of the Supreme in this way is called love — the same surrender explored in Thursday Satsang 18-09-2014 and in Thursday Satsang 02-10-2014.
