When we don\u2019t get the\ncontext, we miss the truth.  The words of the master establishes the\nright context in our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>How we miss the truth?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Without\nthe context of seeking, even renunciation can lead you into laziness.\n Lot of people talk as if they are renouncing, but this is just to\njustify their laziness, dumbness, and stupidity.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Renunciation\nis not renouncing the action.  You grow grass, feed the cow, milk,\nthen make it as curd, churn, get the butter, boil it, and make ghee,\noffer the ghee to the Deity, Divine, God, Guru or whatever, that is\nrenunciation, sacrifice.  You not even making the effort to grow the\ngrass is not sacrifice.  That is boredom and tiredness. Without\nunderstanding the context, even the greatest truth can be missed and\nmisused.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>The importance of Seeking<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Without\nthe context of seeking, the most subtle truths are never cognized.\nHonest, authentic, and integrated seeking, is one of the most\nimportant alignment you need to do in your life.  It is only by\nseeking, your Being is kept in the highest possible awareness.  Keep\nthe seeking alive.  Let seeking become your first response to life,\nlet seeking be the source of inspiration, intensity and energy for\nyou to live.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Whatever\nspiritual practice you are doing, it should strengthen your seeking\nand make you a strong seeker.  Depth of your seeking should be\nincreased.  Don\u2019t ever think without seeking any higher thing can\nbe achieved; No.  Everything, every higher thing, is achieved only by\nseeking.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Avoid taking Master\u2019s words for granted<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The\nfirst time you hear Guru\u2019s words, you do it with so much of\nseeking, interest, excitement.  You pick up many things and\ninternalize them as part of your life.  After some time, your seeking\ncomes down, you listen but take it for granted, \u201cah, He talks like\nthis only, I\u2019ve heard enough.\u201d\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>When\nyou take Guru\u2019s words for granted, you may listen to satsang, but\nyou create a huge iron wall around you.  Guru\u2019s words never\npenetrate and become a part of you, because with each word you\ncreated a pain pattern and kept it away from you.  Either because of\nyour earlier failures, or thinking I tried but it\u2019s not working\nout, developing these patterns and thought trends, you become a\ndangerously untrainable, non-transformable person.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>The Only Bridge<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Taking\nthe Master\u2019s words for granted, not taking them into your heart and\nmaking your life align to it is the worst thing can happen to you\nbecause, other than the Master\u2019s words, there is no anchor\navailable to planet earth.  For anybody who is drowned in the ocean\nof Samsara, delusion and bondage, the only anchor available to raise\nthemselves to the next level is Master\u2019s words.  From the other\nplane of existence, the only bridge available to this plane, this\nuniverse, is an enlightened master\u2019s words.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>If\nyou don\u2019t catch the master\u2019s words and raise yourself, nothing\nelse can help you.  The highest spiritual practice is catching the\nMaster\u2019s words and reinventing yourself.  Re-strategizing and\nreinventing yourself with every word of the Master, is seeking.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Life when seeking is alive<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>\nIf\nyour seeking is alive, you will go on reinventing yourself.  You will\nraise yourself by yourself.  You will be so alive.  So active.  You\nwill be so brilliant, so energetic, because seeking is the most\npowerful way to exist and experience the real you.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p> Based on satsangs delivered by rare Living Incarnation Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttp:\/\/nithyananda.org\/video\/take-master%E2%80%99s-words-heart\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Take Master\u2019s Words to Heart\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/app6N1Rwysk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>27<sup>th<\/sup>\nApril, 2015<\/p>\n\n\n<p>See\nother Satsangs at<em>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/youtube.com\/lifeblissfoundation\">http:\/\/youtube.com\/lifeblissfoundation<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The words of an enlightened master is the only bridge we have to cross over from living in a deluded world to one in which the experience that we are pure consciousness is a reality.
