Quote from this broadcast:
"Consciousness is always the witness. It never participates in any action but witnesses the action that is taking place. For this you have to be awakened to see how it is actually happening." Sri Bhagavan

Notes from Austin. Problems with audio for this broadcast.
Bhagavan: Namaste
Namaste, Bhagavan.
Bhagavan: Love you,
Love you Bhagavan.
Q1. Bhagavan,
we understand that we receive teachings, a blessing and meditation through
these skype conferences and that you connect with each group in a way that is
especially for that group. Recently you said you were doing this type of
connection for the first time. We would like to know how it's going and is
there a difference in the energetic transmission that comes through a live
broadcast compared to a recorded broadcast.
Bhagavan: It is going
quite well. As of now there is a difference between a live broadcast and a
recorded broadcast. But I think in the course of time, there shall be no
difference. We have to wait for that. Once that happens, we will inform you of
that. But right now there is a difference between a live broadcast and a
recorded broadcast.
Q2. When some
of us first started giving deeksha a few years ago, we were counseled not to
give blessings to people who we knew were not mentally stable. I'm considering
giving deeksha to a group of homeless people and there are many who are not
mentally stable. Can you give us counsel on this?
Bhagavan: Things have now
changed. You can now safely give deekshas to people who are not mentally
stable. . . . So you can go ahead
and give a deeksha. There is absolutely no problem. You can do it. (Seemed to
be saying that it could really help them in the muffled sound that came through
in this answer.)
Q3. I have been working on recovery from
alcoholism for almost 20 years. I cannot stay sober/heal it no
matter how spiritual I become or how much I pray. What will it take to
stop me from sabotaging myself?
Bhagavan: The problem here
is that you have not gotten in touch with your actual suffering. What you are
saying can't be the suffering. So
if you deeper into yourself you'll . . .the real cause. What we are saying is
you are seeing is the created problem. the real problem is deep inside. You've
got to get in touch with it . . . and then the blessing. . . . . . follow it up with the blessing. We're seeing. . . certain tribes in India who have been drinking
for years. . . . Deeksha
given. . . .Deeksha really has
helped. It's the most amazing thing that the social workers . . . are asking how
has this been achieved? So, It is possible . . . to get help with the deeksha provided you get in touch
with your suffering.
Comment to lead into
longer meditation.
Bhgavan: As I'm looking
into your group, I seem to be getting very connected. So I think we should be
able to . . .
Noni: We have almost 70
new blessing givers in Austin since December 3 if you can give a special
blessing for them and for us to be able to work in harmony together in our
community and have our numbers grow fast.
Bhagavan: I'm getting a
very good feeling as I look into the energy so let's go for a longer meditation
today.
Love you. Thank you
Bhagavan. Namaste.
