Just be Happy and Ways how to get there ...

Be eager and earnest to learn more and more about the art of joyful living, the art of being happy always. 

People are happy when they dress well, wear rich clothes and strut about the streets. At times, this may cause envy among the little children who cannot afford these, and one may even feel elated with that response! But you can afford to be legitimately proud, only when you are able to control the vagaries of your mind and direct your emotions along honorable and healthy channels, braving even the ridicule of your so-called friends.
That is true freedom; that is true success. If you reach that stage, then you become a seasoned driver and you can be trusted with the wheel on any road, and with any cargo, however precious. Now you are trained to not cause harm, either to yourself or to others. This stage is when you truly deserve to become a leader.
Baba (thought for the day)

Being in Baba's presence it was just about helping and in his divine presence it didn't come to my mind that the devil has his own ways. Or maybe it was a pattern behind and it reflected that attitude of my father and my mother wanted to help and save him and if I get the insights right I got from the inner master, after her death and in my dream, it has not helped her, but it got her down. We revered her like a hero, because she never let us forget that she had to help him, that she had to take care and that it was onto her to save everything, I guess there was some admiration of that in all of us, but somehow that didn't work out later on. 

If it was right and sathvic, why was it not in the sense of Sathva and the Lord. After her death was an avalanche in my dream and later reading Baba's thought for the day it said, avalanche means attachment. 

Desire is a storm, avalanche is attachment, precipice is pride and whirlpool is greed. (Baba)

If reading that, do you know that he is talking about visions and inner view? It is how it looks in the inner view or how it looks in the dream state. And once he said he is the storm, and at that time I didn't know if it was real storm or a storm in the dream or how to understand the storm, but usually it is a kind of mood in the air, more like a feeling and we have to get the meaning of the insight. The insight doesn't change, as it is him, but we have to be careful to find the right answer. If the insight is about violence, and Baba is non-violence, it doesn't tell us that we will get attacked by violence as well, but it is a certain feeling for it and we have to inquire about that feeling and on a certain point we will know what it was. He is the insight and the following step? 

There have been many insights and every time I see it out of a different angle the feeling for that insight is growing, but only in listening to his words and thinking it over on a certain point we are able to absorb it and afterwards we just know, 'that's it, bingo ... it is reflected in his words as a feeling. 

During three interviews Baba asked, how do you feel and I said, 'fine Swami', and he said, 'that is not true'. 

I just saw it in that very moment in his presence and I felt okay, but he meant in general and not only in that very moment.  and I didn't think of how I felt when coming back here and finding nothing at all, it felt like empty houses only.  

As the following step is also him, we have to inquire about the inner view. And there is a lot of inner view. Since it began it has go on and on like that and in the mean time I am also not anymore thinking it is just about that matter, but he gets me with the inner view through a certain process in the mind I have to ask the question why is he the storm? It is the result of too many people in a mode of desire and if the West is just living on that level, what will be the result, storms. But I realized quite quickly that it was not about a real storm, but maybe I had to go through that, whatever the reason. It is kind of amazing how we get by following the inner master to the right conclusion. Last time when it was about 'amok' and it even happened, there was a young man in the age of my daughter running amok and to have that reflected in the inner view, that felt real scary. But as it seems and luckily it was just reflection, it didn't happen in our environment, nevertheless the background of danger, not able to talk, hidden aggression and no way out ..., was certainly present. 

Following the inner master is not that easy and to know what it is, we have to really listen to the heart and think it over. Follow the master, it if is by insight, we have to inquire and it is not done until we somehow know it is done, the following step has also to be him and again we have to use discrimination and be able to know the difference between him and that which is not him. 

Afterwards we have to fight to the end, whatever it is what needs to be ended and finally it is about finishing the game and also that part is only understood after it is done. 
You see what felt that care-free and light with TM, is all different in the light of the inner master, because it is not done with just meditation. But what we saw out of the Patanjali sutra I quoted already, we are able in being focused on the master to get beyond the mind. 

"The impression born from the experience of the highest state of consciousness can wipe out other impressions which cause bondage."
Impressions of that state of consciousness can wipe out all other impressions in the mind which are useless, which are not necessary. To some degree, this keeps happening to all of you. Five percent, ten percent, fifteen percent, twenty percent, fifty percent, eighty percent. In the very first sitting of meditation, when you started, you erased something of the past. The deeper you do, the more hollow and empty you become; you feel that you are a different person, a new person. Many come up with this experience, "Oh, I feel totally different, changed. I am not the same person." What has happened? It has been removed, erased. The other samskara, the other impressions from the mind are removed. It makes you new, it renews you again and again.

It is not just meditation, but it is a higher state of consciousness and that is in the insight, the insight is Baba. 

That is what he said in my dream, of course it can be also another master on that level, but it is not only technique and not only meditation and it depends of how much we are able to absorb if it is only five percent or eighty percent, but it is not done only with meditation. It is a step in that direction, it needs discrimination to know what this is all about. We cannot call it higher state of consciousness, if we are not aware what we are doing. 

It is just s shortcut road and the result is not only deceiving, but exposing us to situations, we don't know how much harm is created by it. That was reflected in the insight of 'amok', because we had no control over it and from all side it was hitting only as problems, that is where it leads finally and not to enlightenment. 

If we just tell meditate, it means that those people don't see any problems and drive other nuts with it, they don't take any responsibility and do not see the evil they created. 

Instead of depth and truth and what was expected and hoped for, always the same answer, meditate and all problems will be solved, nobody considered that it was not real. There were black clouds above the houses where they meditated, we don't know the problems those people really have only meditating because it gets heavier and much worse as time goes by, because nothing of what they said is true, only the group meditation created good vibrations. 

After I be became a TM-teacher there was also an inner view, it was a big grey huge elephant and it should fly in a jumbo jet to the US, it had a vacuum cleaner in its trunk US. 

Kind of surprising was the size of it, I doubted if it would fit in the aircraft, it was much too big and of course, at that time I also didn't understand the insight, because nobody said that the inner master was the insight and also the next step. The only thing they said was, regular meditation, regular program and by that getting more intelligent, using more of the mental potential and everything what happened in meditation was stress only. 

I really went to the US, but not with TM, but with a Sai Baba devotee and it was not anymore about the vacuum cleaner, at least it didn't look like. With meditation we cleaned the mind and that was the idea of the vacuum cleaner, but there had been another insight of a big huge elephant and it was also dark grey but we were riding it. Meditation means if we clean our mind, we clean consciousness and all will benefit from it, we join the Buddha field.

But if responsibility is not seen under the pretext that meditation alone takes care of it, we don't care, the heart gets hurt and relationship values get lost. 

The conclusion is that the highest is the absolute state of pure consciousness, no master telling them that it is a wrong conclusion. 

Divinity is called the finest relative, but it is love and that is the highest, there is no doubt about it. If it is transcended, it means we transcend the mind and the body, but not that which is bigger than the biggest and smaller than the smallest and that is divinity.

It goes beyond the body and the mind, divinity is on an universal level.
If it is bigger than the biggest and smaller than the smallest, by definition it cannot be transcended, pure love Baba said cannot be transcended, therefore, if we think divinity is the finest relative and the absolute state of consciousness is beyond it, that is a wrong conclusion. A master has to take care that it doesn't happen, to see a state of absolute silence beyond it, that is not a right conclusion.

The heart is the main center of our being and not the intellect, it is the in the midst of all chakras.

 It is the highest and if they get to a wrong conclusion and the master is not present, it means all get to a wrong conclusion and lost in it, because they have not the means to get aware of it. A wrong conclusion is always a state of Tamas. 

If the knowledge and discrimination is not there and meditation doesn't take care of it, they are in a state of Tamas and take it for Sathva and that is illusion, nothing else but illusion and not enlightenment.

It means going on looking for happiness still on the wrong place, no discrimination and therefore, no enlightenment.
The task of the Guru is to make sure we get to the right conclusion.

If we get into a meditation technique and it tells us, if you meditate you clean the world consciousness, that is possible. If it tells you that you will be more relaxed and feel better, that is possible. If they tell you that the body will get less old and healthier, also that is possible.
But if they tell that we will get enlightened and we don't know the difference between a state of Tamas and Sathva and there is no master making us aware of it and that we have to get to a right conclusion first and nobody tells us how to get that right answer and we still think we can get enlightenment, that is not possible, it is illusion.
To get enlightened we have to know the difference from right and wrong, we have to know the difference between a right and a wrong conclusion. If not, how can we call that enlightened? 

If we do not know the difference and if we have not realized it, what is the difference to all others, who don't know it as well?

That is scary, because all others know they are not enlightened, but these people think they are ... and they are not.
Enlightenment without self-realization is not possible.
It is the light of the higher self which is enlightening. In the light of the self you get aware of truth.
