My dear abhyasis, today I had the opportunity to attend online chivsangh. Everything is going on as usual even in the physical absence of Master. I am able to see everyone when they do the Namaskara during Panchakshari recitation. I felt that I am there in the chivsangh.

I heard that the plantain leaf Lunch was served very well to everyone. 

My hearty congratulations to each volunteer

for their contribution.

I regret to know that more abhyasis are absent today. I am sure that the absentees will reduce in the coming chivsanghs.

  1) Dear abhyasis, when we analyse the materialistic life, there are three different aspects like Object, Subject and Thoughts. (Vasthu, vishaya vicharagalu). Objects and actions are not problem for Chivality practice but the subject and thoughts. Subject is a knowledge and if it's converted as impressions because of thoughts, it create problems. The mind  depends upon the subject and thoughts. If you are successful in erasing the impressions created by subjects and thoughts, your mind is freed from the materialistic dependency. When the mind is not polluted by materialistic subjects and thoughts, the mind becomes spiritual. It's called spiritual dependency. 

In toto, the mind must be kept empty though you deal with materialistic subjects. Therefore continuous cleaning is required to keep the mind empty. The practice is for cleansing the mind only. The more you empty your mind, spiritual energy gets filled up. Your spiritual dependency increases and your life will be in the hands of the spirit within you. Constant remembrance of Master and  attending  chivasangh regularly helps you to maintain the emptiness in the mind.

2) Dear abhyasis, Nothing, the God has no power because it's nothing. When the nothing becomes Zero within us, it gets Power,  that is the power of Chivam. God outside cannot help anyone because it's nothing. But the Chivabalam (God within) that one possesses has the power to protect one in his life. So, having faith in Nothing gives you nothing. Creating the Chivabalam within oneself, need not believe in anything. Things will be taken care of automatically without any faith, pray, desires and expectations. 

Reduce your desires and expectations and be away from faith and prayers otherwise they becomes block in your progress. Chivabalam is like any organ within you, which works automatically without your commands or requests.

3) Dear abhyasis, our human system is mainly divided into three. Body, intellect and Mind. Body needs food & medicines, Intellect needs knowledge and the Mind needs peace or nemmathi. You may have knowledge and your body may be healthy but if your mind doesn't have peace, your life can't be fruitful. Therefore, peace of mind is more important when compared to knowledge and health. Peace of mind is a key factor in supporting the health of a human being as well as a improving the knowledge. 

If knowledge is lost, nothing is lost, if health is lost, something is lost, if peace of mind is lost, everything is lost.   We spend lot of time in acquiring knowledge and health but we don't spend much time in improving the mental health. Healthy mind is empty mind. Empty mind is filled up with peace. It's the God within. One has to go beyond the God to become Chivam.

   1) Everyone wants to have only good things and we tend to avoid bad things. This is the condition of ordinary human beings. When one progresses in spirituality, the duality of good and bad things vanishes and starts accepting things as it is. Nothing is beautiful and nothing is ugly. It's a fact that we want to see only beautiful things and mind will search for it avoiding ugly things.

2) Don't have blind faith on anything until you experience. Your faith will discourage you from knowing the truth. Truth has to be experienced without any faith. 

In Chivality, we don't give value to the past and future, since you have to believe it and can't experience it. Everyone is living  only in the present, because one can only remember the past and think about the future. No-one can live in the past or future. Once you progress in Chivality, you will really realise the truth that you are living in the present. Power of Chivality practice should make you to forget the past and make you not to think about the future. It happens slowly and gradually. But if it is not happening, you are not progressing. Your dependency towards the materialistic world should gradually reduce to reach the ultimate goal of becoming independent.

3) Nothing is God. All other things are things only. When you think that things are God, it's your ignorance. Things are perishable. God is imperishable.

4) Sitting idle and doing nothing is not liked by materialistic people and they become enemies and can disturb you. It's not advisable to practice spirituality in front of the enemies. You can't continue your practice.

5) Materialistic life means depending upon the mundane world for mental requirements. Except the mind, everything has to depend upon the materialistic world. Because everything is matter except mind and it has to depend upon the materialistic world. When one wants to get rid of the dependency from the materialistic world, he starts searching the alternative. Then the quest begins. How many people are really interested to get relieved from the dependency from the materialistic world? Everyone wants to enjoy the materialistic world and claims that they spiritual. When one doesn't understand the difference between spiritual dependency and materialistic dependency, he is useless for spirituality. One can compromise or balance the materialistic life, but spirituality doesn't have any compromise and it cannot be balanced. It's not a child play.

6) Spiritual practice is to withdraw the mind from the materialistic world gradually and continue the practice until you get liberation from the materialistic dependency. If one is not interested to leave this materialistic facilities, he cannot progress in spirituality or Chivality. The withdrawing condition is considered as the spiritual progress. There are many ups and downs in materialistic life. But in spiritual life, it's steady and no ups and downs. Ups and downs create happiness and sorrow. Steadiness creates Nemmathi or Peace. One can balance the materialistic life but it can't be made steady. Steadiness is Achanchala, Sthanu or Sthira. Jeevanmukthi or liberation comes from "Nischala Tatwa". Attending CHIVSANGH is most necessary here.

Abhyasi -Respected MASTER couldnt understand the term"spiritual dependency".......

Master- Spirit is within everyone. If the mind is dependent upon the power within only and not the materialistic world, it's spiritual dependency. It happens once you aquire more spiritual energy through vigorous practice. If you bother more about the society and materialistic world, you are materialistic dependent. Otherwise, vice versa.

1) Spirituality is to improve our inner strength. In earlier days spiritual people used to avoid materialistic transactions as well collecting information from materialistic world. The more you involve in materialistic world, your inner strength gets reduced. You know one thing! Carrying more information in the mind itself is a weight. Spiritual energy is very very light and it loses power when it is blocked by anything in the mind. For a materialistic person, information is required. But carrying over information can reduce his spiritual Power. Therefore, information which is necessary to our life only should carry. This advice is only to materialistic people who want to become spiritual. Some information become impressions in the mind and removing becomes very difficult.

2) In spiritual practice, one must withdraw his mind from the materialistic world to his possibility. Spiritual energy is stored in the mind. The less you utilise the mind, the energy stored will be retained. One can depend upon the mundane world for the maintenance of body and body related things. Mind should withdraw it's dependency and should become independent. Independent mind will have more spiritual strength.

3) How do you know that you are spiritually weak? If you have fear, anxiety, stress and tension and sometime negative qualities or tendencies, you can consider that you are spiritually weak.

4) Unfulfilled desires and expectations become impressions and create block in spiritual progress. If you want to strengthen your body, you should give so many things to the body. But if you want to strengthen your mind, you should not give anything.

Abhyasi - So how to maintain that stability always without losing the energy gained Master ?

Master- Use less mind and more brain.

Abhyasi - Request master's elaboration on NEVER mind

Master- When you don't apply your mind, you don't feel for it. It is called as Never Mind.

5) Sthitha prajna means, conscious about what is happening and deal things accordingly without tension, anxiety and worries. It's the control of mind. It has nothing to do with positive and negative. It's the capacity to control the mind.

6) Spirituality is to create purity of mind. Purity neither disturb himself nor others. Person of purity doesn't advice anyone for war or fight. Purity is to give peace to himself and others. Desires to achieve something materially will not be there. Power of purity is to transform persons from negative to positive. That purity is called as Divya or Divine. Buddha is an example.

How spiritual practice helps materialistic people?

Actually speaking, our needs must be related to body only. But for ordinary people, mind needs entertainment, happiness, joy and so on. All these needs can be curtailed through a vibrant spiritual practice like Chivality. Today, materialistic people spend lots of money and time for fulfilling the mental needs. Through Chivality practice, the mind gets its own peace and automatically, the mind realises its original condition of no needs. Mind really needs only peace. Materialistic people don't know the need of the mind but try to fulfill with something else. Since the something else is temporary, they have to try one after another to maintain happiness, joy etc. Once anyone starts producing the peace within, it becomes permanent condition and the mind stops searching for happiness.

Creating the ultimate peace is the goal of spirituality or Chivality.

CHIVAM IS THE EMBODIMENT OF PEACE.

Commonly for people when asked which is better,  nemmadhi or knowing the truth, they will choose nemmadhi. For them,  it is easier to have faith in that which gives nemmadhi (even though it is temporary)rather than finding out  the truth. This is not wrong. 

This idea is found out by realised people only. Realised people said that God is there. But they didn't explain the truth further to everyone about what's not there is the God. Hiding the truth helped the non realised people to get temporary Nemmathi by believing that an existential God on the outside will take care of them and protect during difficulties.

When realised people tried to convince the people that, God is not existing outside but  is within you existing as a non- existing energy - Nothing, they found that concept of nothing is not acceptable for ordinary people because they want something.

Wise realised people found that the stone is more stronger than anything, they convinced the common people that the Linga is the God and you can pray to God and it will fulfill your needs.

 Wise men know the ultimate truth and never pray because  they know that there is no God to fulfill their needs.

Wise men understood that nemmathi is the condition that the people need rather than God or truth. Therefore, faith in God is required for non realised people for their temporary Nimmathi. Only for those seeking the truth,  who are in search of permanent nemmadhi, to those who have the capacity to realize the truth wise men explained fully the concept of God within.  

When truth realization happens,  the seeker goes beyond right and wrong, goes  beyond getting nemmadhi from external source,   and becomes nemadhi itself.

  1) Once upon a time, it so happened that the God residing in the temple decided to speak to the worshipers who had come to see Him. God watched all that his devotees offered and did.  He waited until the alankara, Archanas poojas and naivedya was over.  God then asked the people, "is this all for me?" Then the devotees said, "yes, these are things that we want to give you." God said, "as you know,  I am God and not a human being. Then how can these things that satisfy human beings satisfy me,  a God? Give me that which  is special to God, that which cannot satisfy human beings but can satisfy me. "

Devotees asked the God, "what else can we possibly give you". God said,  " give me Nothing!"

The devotees got confused. Where and how to find Nothing that can satisfy the god?

They started enquiring to one another about Nothing. Finally desperate to find the answer,  they approached a Wiseman who could advice them about Nothing. 

The Wisebman said, "the world is full of something. You cannot get Nothing from this world of something.   Nothing must instead be created within you. "

Eager to know more devotees said,  " oh is it? Can you please elaborate?"

The wise man continued, "The mind is basically nothing.  But it has become a thing,  with all your creations (thoughts & Ahamkara). If you remove your creations, what remains is the empty mind. When the mind becomes empty, it becomes Nothing. This Nothing belongs to God.l, which is His abode. He wants His nothing and not the human beings' creations."

 The devotees now having some understanding of nothing returned back to God.  They asked God, " how can we give nothing which is inside us to you?"  God replied, "Actually speaking, the You (Aham) in a human being is staying in the empty mind provided by God. Today You have spoiled the original condition of mind and filled up so many things. When you start staying in the Nothing mind, You and Me are same. You become Me, the God. I only want this Nothing, so that You also can become God. Once You become Me, my work is over. "

*Namachivaayam*

2) When mind is filled with something,  the aham is expanded with an akara -a form.

When the mind is emptied of all things,  it becomes Nothing and the ahamkara is significantly reduced and only aham remains. 

From being ahamkara in a non- empty mind, the You becomes aham, alone without any akara, in an empty mind. You become Chivam. This is a solitude and unique condition. You can experience that You alone available everywhere. Everything is in You.

1) Dear abhyasis, my hearty wishes for a happy Diwali. Every celebration is to forget the past and live in the present. Be positive and transmit your positive vibes to the rest of the world. Positive vibes create peace and happiness. Make this occasion to remember your Master more.

*Namachivaayam*

2) Cracker industry feeds 8 lakh people in shivakasi, Tamil Nadu, like liquor and cigarette industries. Even non vegetarian industry is vast. This is called balancing life. Everything will be here in this materialistic world. One has to be careful. We must understand that we can't change this world, we have to change ourselves. Goal of our practice is to change oneself without complaining this world and society. We can't expect this world as positive, we have to become positive. If everyone is positive, spirituality is not required.

3) Spirituality teaches that you are a just visitor to this planet and you have to utilise this birth for liberation or salvation. This mundane world was there before our arrival and will be there after our departure. The world was very worse in earlier days with wars and communicable diseases. People were really struggling to live. Technology changed our way of life and today we live with maximum comfort. 

Really speaking, we don't have time to correct this world. Our urgent need is for jeevanmukhta condition. For reaching this condition, one has to become positive negating all unwanted qualities. In this process, we have to improve our positive qualities like tolerance, patience and perseverance. 

Everyone has to survive until death. We can help in their survival. It's something similar helping co-passengers in a train journey. 

Atlast, one has to become Chivam, the unaffected and unchangeable condition inspite of the changes in the materialistic world.

4) Happy Diwali: 

In this Diwali, our volunteers have successfully made the preparation of sweet and Kara at Mouna Mantapa itself. We are able to supply these items to our abhyasis sufficiently. We could understand that the taste of these items is wonderful as well the unmatchable price. Though it's a first attempt, we have to congratulate each and every volunteer engaged in this regard. 

It means that we can have better activities in future since the cooperation among the volunteers is admirable. Master wants more abhyasis should participate in future activities.

When we are children, we can give lots of commitments and promises to our parents and the society. It's our culture. When we grow, what happens to these commitments? 

The truth is, when we are children we are all same. The moment we cross our childhood, we become individuals and get separated in our thinking and living. Then that togetherness is lost and we try to survive independently. At that time, the common commitments and childhood promises are forgotten.

Can you be a child throughout your life? 

What are the qualities of child? Listening, learning, studying and obeying.

1) Following the quotes of Budha will definitely change your way of life. When you are lifted yourself to accept this world in front of you, you don't require any imaginary God to help you.

 Forget the concept of God and believe in yourself. You are the real and the God outside is an imagination. Don't imagine and spoil your own strength.

2) Capacity has nothing to do with academic qualification. Rulers have Power and capacity. To rule, "rajathanthra" is required. Academically qualified people are generally straight forward. They're employed under the rulers. They have to follow the instructions of their employers.

Namachivaayam.

1) As long as human mind and materialistic world is there, time is there. Time is the duration between two changes. Where there is a change, there will be time. Where there is mind, change will be there. One has to go beyond mind and this materialistic world, then the time will vanish.

2) There are plenty of bad qualities in human mind. When you win over all the bad qualities, good qualities also will vanish. Where bad qualities are there, there must be good qualities. Ravana was a good king with plenty of good qualities. His positive side is not exposed in Ramayan because the hero is Rama.

3) Dear abhyasis, what we are practicing here in Chivality is the energy called as Chivam. It has nothing to with the Shiva mentioned in Shivapurana. Shiva is a character in Shivapurana story and it is not an energy.

Don't get confused with the character Shiva and energy Chivam. 

Here, there is no worship of anyone. We don't attach any story behind Chivality. 

Don't bring the Shiva character in NC and worshipping Shiva.

4) Dear abhyasis, we don't believe in God because it's not there. The concept of God is within You that you have to find out. God here is called as Chivam. Chivality is to reach the condition of Chivam and not Shiva, the character. 

5) Human beings create religions. Religions create Gods. People are divided because of different Gods. Religions and Gods never unite human beings. 

Spirituality and Chivality is to bring human beings together without believing in different Gods.

6) If nothing belongs to you, then who are you? There is a Zero inside you. You are that. You are Zero, you are Chivam. Nothing belongs to Chivam and Chivam belongs to nothing.
