Happiness, Obstacles and Delusion

Everybody aspires for happiness. Where is happiness? Without working hard, you cannot get happiness. During ancient times, people would offer their salutations to action (karma) before undertaking it; they chanted thasmai namah karmane (salutations to action). In India, some people follow this sacred tradition even today. A dancer salutes the anklets before tying them to the feet. Even an uneducated driver offers his obeisance to the steering wheel before driving the vehicle and some cricketers too, pay their respects to the ball before starting to bowl. First and foremost, offer respects and express gratitude to karma before undertaking it. Make it a practice every day. It will then give good results. Understand your duty and perform it to the best of your abilities. Then, you will earn the deservedness to experience happiness.
Baba (thought for the day)
It could be a good thing to offer salutation to karma… It is like a morning prayer asking for blessings for the day. In the TM puja we used to tell, thasmai shri guraveh namah, obedience to the guru.
I feel better doing it to Karma thasmai namah kamane. At least action is always present, it is something we do now and it is not about a guru which is not present like during TM and getting by that the impression he was there, and finding out he was not. It seems that was why the result was a black hole.
It is a strange matter with insights.
Borderliners exhibit identity disturbance and a markedly and persistently unstable self-image or sense of self. Because of the lack of a clear identity, borderliners often feel a black hole or void they constantly try to fill. Often they will resort to a negative identity rather than none at all.
They are basically confused and cannot order their inner chaotic experience, often they don’t do it in purpose but their attitude can exhaust the people around them. Some are physically abusive and destructive for the environment, but they function on a more primitive level. They build up defence mechanism such a delusions, distortions, splitting, magical thinking, omnipotent denial, projective identification. Many of these defences are inextricably linked to splitting and the epicentre creates confusion and chaos. In that sense TM creates a borderline disorder. If we are first related to a normal self, we begin to meditate and become a TM-teacher and with puja and initiating people we get referred to thasmai shri guraveh namah, obedience to the guru. But that guru is not there.
Everybody thinks it works in the tradition of masters, the guru at the picture is Gurudev, the master of the yogi, but he died a long time ago.
If it would work, there would not be a black hole. If it would work out, there wouldn’t be pictures with puppets and the hand missing which should hold them. If there would be everything and pure knowledge as they tell, the energy would not turn into the opposite.
Instead of a normal ego, after we have a borderline syndrome. It is mostly the TM-teacher in relationship to that tradition of masters and he is an insider, on that level it doesn’t heal, it makes sick.

There are not no problems, but much worse problems afterwards. Borderliners have an identity problem, because it is not possible to related to a black hole. Being related to a negative identity means referring to someone who is not present. It doesn’t work.
But it is for those people nearly impossible to find out what it is, when it doesn’t work, where the hell began, because they don’t know. Outside it looks all perfect, what doesn’t work is the twofold power of Shiva and Shakti, which is needed to realize the self, is only present in a living master. Not the Guru of the yogi made TM, the Maharishi made out of that meditation a technique. It is like being related to a not existing relationship, result is a black hole, something missing and no knowledge, all is seen as stress. Living for years in the idea that it works and that problems get solved and realizing that it doesn’t, and that there is an immense problem inbuilt, a problem which cannot be solved, it leads into shock and shame, negative energy pattern, which is the opposite of the positive infinite energy potential we tried to free with TM.
In such a case TM-meditation is no more in the observer and all problems are solved, but it is now seen out of the wounded inner child and we have to find out what to do with that insight.
TM doesn’t help anymore. The process needs to get aware of the difference between the inner child and the observer and therefore, the next step is to find the right path…, because TM cannot be it!
Baba showed inside in the dream that he was the insight and after the next step. Here is the insight that we have to go a step ahead, it is not the right path.
