SRI BHAGAVAN TEACHING - HOW ANTHARYAMINS (OUR INDWELLERS OR DIVINE PRESENCE) ARE NETWORKED View Video: http://www.worldonenesscommunity.com/video/sri-amma-bhagavan-how-antharyamins-are-networked
Gratitude to Tímea Matyi and Antal Keller for the transcript.
Your Antharyamin is your Antharyamin. His or her Antharyamin is his or her Antharyamin. Like your dress is tailor made for you, custom-made, your Antharyamin is custom-made for you, but all Antharyamins are networked. They communicate with each other.
Suppose you are little late to the airport, your Antharyamin would get in touch with the Antharyamin of the pilot or somebody and somehow see to it the flight is delayed. I'll give you an example which will make things clear to you.
Many years ago there was a big gathering of people, and one man came and said, "I was in need of some money, and Bhagavan sent me the money." And another man stood up and said, "Your Bhagavan did not send that money I sent that money."
The man in need of money was praying to his Antharyamin saying, "Please, Bhagavan, give me money, nobody is going to help me." And in another part of the city Bhagavan appeared to a very wealthy man gave him this man's address and told, "Please, send this man so much money." That man did not know me. Being very rich he thought he will have some fun. He called his secretary and told him, "Please send this money."
A month later a friend of his told him, "I'm going to a spiritual meeting, why don't you come?" Where, seeing the Sri Murthi he realized that the same person has come to him in his dream. The Antharyamin got activated in the rich man's dream and made him do the act of sending the money.
That is how all the Antharyamins are networked.

Questions and Answers with Sri Bhagavan posted by Chaturika Prakash on Facebook group, Oneness Transcriptions: Question: Why does it feel so difficult to set the relationships right with one's own family. Is it karma? Could you tell us something about family and collective karma and what to do about it?
SRI BHAGAVAN: This problem of relationships must be handled at three levels. At the first level you could use the teachings. Now very often we have bad relationships because we have been conditioned wrongly and we do not have certain insights. So the teachings would help you there.
For example, the teaching says: to have good relationship start with yourself, not with the other. See who you are, accept yourself as you are and love yourself as you are. When this happens very naturally the other person would see you as you are, would accept you as you are, would love you as you are.
I will give you an example for this. Some time ago a couple came to meet us and they had a very bad relationship. So the lady said, "this man is a drunkard and I cannot live with him." And the man said, "She is a flirt and I cannot live with her." That was their problem. So we told them, look, here we do not work on the other, we work on oneself.
So we took up the case of the flirt and we said look, we are not going to transform him who is a drunkard, we are going to transform you. So what you should do is see, look into yourself as to why you are a flirt, you must see that. Having seen that accept that-yes I am a flirt. Accept it. Once you accept it you will start loving yourself: yes I am a flirt, this is what I am. And you fall in love with yourself.
Now when this happens very naturally-- we were actually working with her--she began to see that man as he is, as to why he is behaving the way he is behaving. She accepted him as he is and she loved him as he is. She did not ask that he must give up drinking. Because she accepted herself and fell in love with herself, she accepted him and loved him. That happened to her.
The drunkard on other hand, he was looking into himself, he saw why he was drinking, that he is a drunkard. He accepted that and he fell in love with himself. Once he did that he could also accept her as a flirt, and accept and love her also.
Now we did not change the flirt into something else nor the drunkard into something else. They accepted themselves therefore they could accept each other. But something strange happened after that. After that she ceased to be a flirt and he ceased to be a drunkard. But our objective was only helping them to accept themselves and love themselves. So the teachings can help like that.
The other thing is in relationships we build up images. Suppose you get married, you start building up images about your wife and the wife about the husband. It can happen between any two people. There after the images start relating and you stop experiencing the person. Then also the relationship dies.
So, in many many ways the teachings can help you but that is still only the first level. Sometimes whatever you might do, the mind gets stuck. It will be playing the record again and again and again. For 20 years he will be repeating the same thing without any change. That also destroys relationship.
You will say ten years ago you did this, twenty years ago you did this. The record goes on and on and on. To stop that you must give a powerful deeksha which can shift the mind into another dimension. There deeksha comes into play and helps you.
Now that also may not work always, in which case you must have to go into karma. Karma would mean what happened at the moment of conception: what were your mother's thoughts when you were being carried in the womb, what happened in the womb and how exactly you were delivered, the first six hours after delivery and sometimes you might have to go into past lives. So at that level we can solve any problem.
So, first you start applying the teaching. Next you try deeksha. With the teaching if it is solved, fine. Otherwise use deeksha. If that does not work then move on to find out karma. For karma all that you must do is you must relax well, move into the hypnagogic state, the state between waking and sleep, move into that state. Take a blessing from the Sri Murthi and say, "Please AmmaBhagavan show me where the problem is."
We will rewind the tape and we will exactly show you what went wrong where. We will pinpoint the problem (i.e. your karma) and then we will rework it. Once we rework it, the entire thing will start off in just twenty-four hours.
So that is how you have to handle the problem of relationships. You have got to move step-by-step.

Question: Bhagavan, what should one do to receive consistent and instant grace in one's life?
SRI BHAGAVAN: The speed at which your desires are granted depends on your relationship with your parents whether they are alive or not. Next is the relationship with your husband or wife. If your relationships are in order, then receiving grace would be very easy.
That is why we are emphasizing on setting right your relationships. The next is karma, let us say solving a financial problem could lead one to sickness because of karma, then considering the danger of the situation the prayer would not be answered immediately.
Another thing to be considered here are your needs and necessities. Suppose you wish for a car, since you are finding it difficult to manage without one then certainly grace would come to you. But say your prayer arises out of comparison, hurt or greed then it would not be answered.
To receive grace consistently, you need to know how to pray. There are certain conditions which you must fulfill for your prayer to be powerful.
1. You must be authentic in your prayers
2. Your prayer must come from your heart
3. You must have a bond with your God
4. You must focus on the solution, not on the problem
5. You must express gratitude as if it has been granted already
Once you do this, you would receive abundant grace from your God. If you know how to pray, I am sure you would have God for your friend.

Q.) Dear Bhagavan, could you please explain, that awakening doesn't make people irresponsible (as it could be understood from this weeks teaching: The Awakened One achieves nothing; for there is nothing to be achieved. The Awakened One understands nothing; for there is nothing to be understood. The Awakened One knows nothing; for there is nothing to be known.), but it leads people to taking full responsibility for their life. How can it be understood in relation to big company director. I understand that until this state is experienced, it cannot be understood, but how to explain that Awakened One is not unconcerned and he can stay at big company management? Thank you Bhagavan, I love you.
SRI BHAGAVAN: The Awakened One is most responsible and most concerned very naturally. Responsibility and concern are not concepts for him. They are more like his natural state. Like breathing is natural to human being, responsibility and concern come naturally to Awakened people. And no effort is involved on their part.
-------
SRI AMMA: "When the time for transition arrives, the Presence would engulf humanity like a tidal wave and alter its consciousness. Be not perturbed. Do what is expected of you. Share your wisdom and the power of Deeksha with others. The rest will be taken care."
------
SRI BHAGAVAN: "Such joy in just seeing what is going on inside.That's all there is to life.What is life? See what is going on inside.Because you are not seeing it you feel bored.You find life is meaningless,purposeless.Therfore you want this,you want that.So many desires you are creating.But if you were to actually see what is going on,there is such joy you will not want anything else in life.
All authentic people they are taken care of by life or the God.Inauthentic people will die.If you are authentic and you don't have food,food will come to you.Somehow it will happen.Somehow you will get a lift.You will go where you want to go.Your life becomes miraculous.Because you are inauthentic these things don't happen to your life.
But again don't try to be authentic.You must really be authentic.Only then miracles will happen.Only then you become a great being.Then the benediction comes on you,the blessing.All that you have spoken becomes truth.Why is it you people are stuck up? Because you are untruthful.Therefore inauthentic.Therefore you have never really seen what is going on inside yourself.Therefore you need external things to keep going."
-------
SRI BHAGAVAN: "Unless you really speak the truth you cannot develop this inner integrity to great extent.But only when you start speaking the truth you will really know what is going on inside,not otherwise.You will get to the depths of it.Then the miracle happens.The miracle is it will take you to the roots.Then you will find everything is empty and therefore you become free of it.
It does not matter what is there. Can you see what is there? What is authencity? Seeing what is there. Inner integrity is seeing what is there. Truth is speaking what you see.Truth becomes external authencity. First you see and then you speak about it. And if you speak you will find the effect is unimaginable. Nothing you need.It's all automatic thereafter. Try it out. Every moment will be joyous moment in your life."
-------
Q.) Dear Bhagavan, how can I come to love myself? I have realized that all my material and psychological problems are directly associated with non-acceptance of myself. Being your channel to transfer your love to other people, how I can come to love myself?
SRI BHAGAVAN: We have said in the external world you've got to be active, in the inner world you've got to be passive. Now, what's happening here is, you've realized that you're not able to accept yourself, that you're not able to love yourself. Up to that point it's OK. But the problem is, you're trying to accept yourself, you're trying to love yourself. That's because you have condemned the fact that you do not accept yourself. You've condemned the fact that you do not love yourself. That is not the oneness teaching. What the oneness teaching is saying is: see, look, be aware of the fact that you do not accept yourself, intensely aware. Be intensely aware of the fact that you do not love yourself. If you were to condemn it, if you were to try to change it, nothing is going to happen.
It is simply that awareness. You should not even think it is bad. If you say "Oh, it's very bad, I do not accept myself. I must accept myself." - that is not awareness. That comes under contemplation. Awareness is just to see what is going on. What it is, is of no consequence, is of no matter at all.
Below is the Spanish translation of youtube interview by Arjuna Ardagh from a few years back.

Interview with Sri Amma
Entrevista con Sri Amma en 2007 FOR ENGLISH TEXT PLEASE READ BELOW Extracto del DVD 'Awakening into Oneness' Traducion al Espanol por Nestor Trujillo del Transcript hecho por Antje Schilling Arjuna pregunta 1: Amma, muchisimas gracias por concedernos esta entrevista. Se que es poco usual. Estoy muy agradecido contigo. Amma, cuando estas en darshan con 10.000 personas que reciben tu darshan, mirandote, cuando tu miras desde tu silla tu ves toda esta gente. Que ves y que sientes? Amma respuesta 1: Cuando los miro siento que son mis hijos. Experimento su sufrimiento, sus problemas y sus placeres. Les deseo lo mejor y los bendigo para que se cumplan sus deseos Arjuna pregunta 2: Amma, escuchamos, escucho reportes de muchos milagros que suceden alrededor tuyo, gente que se cura de enfermedades, gente a quien les fluye dinero en su vida cuando antes no lo tenian, las relaciones mejoran. Cuando estos milagros pasan, estas consciente de cada uno de ellos? O estos suceden espontaneamente? Amma respuesta 2: Si, yo se todo lo que esta sucediendo. Raramente ocurren milagros sin mi conocimiento. Yo tomo un sankalpa (una intencion) por la mayoria de los milagros que pasan, aunque algunos milagros pasan natural y automaticamente. Yo lo se todo. Arjuna pregunta 3: Amma, la Fuerza Divina se expresa diferentemente a traves de ti y de Bhagavan. Cual es la diferencia? Amma respuesta 3: Amma y Bhagavan son uno solo. Ellos son el aspecto maternal y paternal de la Divinidad. Bhagavan le da a la gente la Gracia como padre. Amma es la madre que hace cumplir sus deseos, necesidades, problemas, de hecho les doy todo. Bhagavan esta todo el tiempo preocupado por el crecimiento espiritual de la gente y conducir a la gente hacia Mukthi (Unidad). Bhagavan esta enfocado en eso mientras que Amma esta immersa en hacer cumplir los deseos de la gente. Arjuna pregunta 4: Amma, tienes un hijo, Krishna. Lo conoci en Los Angeles y tambien tienes una nuera y un nieto. Los conoci a todos en E.E.U.U. Amma, como madre y abuela, cual es tu vision para la juventud de este planeta? Amma respuesta 4: Mi mensaje para la juventud es que sus corazones deben florecer. Quiero decirles que no deben tomar decisiones desde sus cabezas, en vez deben hacerlo usando sus corazones Arjuna pregunta 5: Amma, por todo el mundo hoy dia hay mujeres surgiendo como lideres y estan consiguiendo un nivel de respeto y de escucha que no sucedio antes. Las mujeres estan emergiendo como lideres politicos, lideres religiosos, de toda clases de formas. Cual es tu mensaje para las mujeres? Hay mas de 3 billones de mujeres en el mundo. Cual es tu mensaje para estos 3 billones de mujeres? Amma respuesta 5: Las mujeres del mundo deben educarse en su infancia. Aun como estudiantes las mujeres deben ser conocedoras de la concepcion, como llevar una criatura en el vientre, como hacer el parto, y como criar la criatura. Es importante que aprendan todo esto. Para esto, sus corazones tienen que florecer. Tienen que aprender mucho a traves de la experiencia personal. Si aprenden esto, estarian contribuyendo seres humanos superiores al mundo. Es entonces posible crear una nueva forma de sociedad. Es asi como las mujeres tienen que prepararse a si mismas para su papel. Arjuna pregunta 6: Amma, eres conocida como la Divina madre. Que es la Divina madre? Amma respuesta 6: Hay dos aspectos en Dios, el masculino y el maternal o aspecto femenino. Yo soy la Feminidad Divina. Yo soy esa Madre. Yo soy la Madre Divina. Bhagavan esta inmerso en transformar y dar iluminacion a la humanidad, y yo estoy inmersa en ayudarlos en los asuntos terrenales, haciendo cumplir sus deseos, solucionando sus problemas. Eso es en lo que estoy inmersa. Arjuna pregunta 7: Amma, que es amor verdadero? Que es el puro amor verdadero? Amma respuesta 7: Si yo deseo que el otro me pertenezca solo a mi, que no hable o se relacione con nadie mas, y yo obligo al otro a amarme, eso no es amor puro. Si los amamos porque hallamos algunas cualidades en ellos que no hayamos en nosotros, eso tampoco es amor. Pero si el corazon floreciera, no importa quien sea la otra persona, no importa que clase de persona la otra es, lo continuaremos amando. Eso es amor verdadero. Eso es posible solamente despues de haber tenido una experiencia. Arjuna pregunta 8: Amma, nosotros vivimos en E.E.U.U. Mi esposa y yo somos amigos. Tambien visitamos Europa. Como podemos cultivar amor y compasion para que tratemos los seres humanos con el respeto que se merecen? Amma respuesta 8: Esa es una pregunta muy dificil. Toda la humanidad es un ser. Todos los humanos son en realidad una persona. No deberias pensar que 'lo que me ocurre a mi es algo unico y diferente de los demas.' Que, 'mis pensamientos son diferentes del resto.' Es el sufrimiento de la humanidad el que fluye a traves de nosotros. Necesitas una experiencia espiritual interna para conocer y sentir este sufrimiento completamente. Es ahi cuando el estado del amor nacera en ti. Solamente puedes conocer esto a traves de una experiencia. No hay otra manera. Por tanto, lo que sucede con el otro y lo que sucede contigo no es diferente. Todo el sufrimiento es uno. Nosotros somos todos uno. Solamente cuando tengas esta experiencia, es posible el estado de compasion. INTERVIEW WITH SRI AMMA IN 2007 EXCERPT FROM 'AWAKENING INTO ONENESS DVD' Interview with Sri Amma Arjuna:
Amma, thank you so much for you (are) willing as/us to have this interview. I know it`s a very unusual thing. I am very grateful to you. Amma, you said in darshan with 10.000 people receiving your darshan, looking at you,
when you look from your chair you see all of these people.
What do you see and what do you feel? Amma: When I look at them I feel they are my children. I experience their suffering, their
problems and their pleasures. I wish good for them and keep blessing
them for the fulfillment of their desires. Arjuna:
Amma, we hear - I hear reports of many miracles which happen around you:
people become healed of diseases, people have money flowing in their life that was not there before, relationships get better. When these miracles happen are you consciously aware of each one? Or does it happen spontaneously? Amma: Yes, I know all that is happening. Very rarely a few miracles happen without
my knowledge. I take sanskalpa (hold an
intention) for most of the miracles that happen, though some miracles
happen naturally and automatically,
I know everything. Arjuna:
Amma, the Divine force expresses itself differently through you and it does through Bhagavan. What is that difference? Amma: Amma and Bhagavan are one. They are the
mother and the father aspect of the Divine. Bhagavan gives people grace as the father, Amma as the mother fulfills their desires,
needs, health problems, in fact everything. Bhagavan all the time is concerned
about the spiritual growth of people and leading people towards Mukthi
(Oneness). Bhagavan is focused on that while Amma
is immersed in fulfilling people`s desires. Arjuna:
Amma, you have a son, Krishna, I have met him in Los Angeles and you have also a daughter in law and a grandchild. I met all of them in America. Amma, as a mother and a grandmother what is your vision for the youth of this planet? Amma: My message for the youth is
that their hearts must flower. I want to tell them that they should not
make their decisions from their heads,
but rather make them from their hearts. Arjuna:
Amma, all over the world women today are emerging as leaders and they are getting a level of respect and listening which has not happened before. Women are emerging as political leaders religious leaders in all kinds of ways. What is your message to women? There are more than 3 billion women in the world. What is your message to these 3 billion women? Amma: Women of the world must become
educated in their childhood. Even as students women must become
knowledgeable about conception, bringing up the child in the womb,
delivering the child and also about
child upbringing. It is important they learn all this. For this, their hearts too have to flower.
They have to learn a lot through
personal experience. If they learn this, the world would be
contributing superior human beings to
the world. It is then possible to create a new
form of society. That is how women have to prepare
themselves for their role. Arjuna:
Amma, you are known as the Divine mother. What is the Divine mother? Amma: In God there are two aspects, the masculine
and the motherly or feminine aspect. I am the Divine Feminine, I am that Mother.
I am the Divine Mother. Bhagavan is immersed in transforming
and giving enlightenment to humankind and I am immersed in helping them in
worldly matters, fulfilling their desires,
solving their problems. That is what I am immersed in. Arjuna:
Amma, what is real love? What is real pure love? Amma: If I desire that the other must
belong to me alone, must
not talk or relate to anybody else, and I force the other into loving me,
that is not pure love. If we love someone because we find
some qualities in them we don`t
find in ourselves, that too is not love. But if the heart were to flower, no matter
who the other person is, no matter
what kind of person the other is, we will continue to love.
That is true love. That is possible only after you have
had an experience. Arjuna:
Amma, we live in America. My wife and I are friends. We visit also Europe. How can we cultivate love and compassion so that we treat human beings with the respect they deserve? Amma: That is a very difficult question. All humankind is one being.
All humans are actually one person. You should not think that "what is
going on in me is something different and unique from others." That, "my
thoughts are different from the rest." It is humanity´s suffering that is
flowing through us. You need an inner spiritual experience to
know and feel this suffering completely. That is when the state of love
would take birth in you. You can know this only through
an experience. There is no other way. Therefore, what is going on in the other
and what is going on in you is not
different. All suffering is one.
We are all one. Only when you have this experience,
is the state of compassion possible. Transcript done by Antje Schilling |
