Here is the story of a person named Kendrick Stevens from America, and an incident that happened in his life. Following that experience, he was able to experience Param Karuna and Paramjyothi. Through this, he was also given an experience of divine compassion.
Today, we are going to go deeper into understanding transformation.
Thought is Suffering
Thought is suffering.
Thoughts are like the clouds we see in the sky. They come and they go. They are simply a flow.
When the class was over and everyone had left, the scholars who had attended the class watched a movie.
The movie they watched contained strong sexual content. Afterwards, they came to Bhagavan and spoke to him about what they had experienced. They came to Bhagavan's balcony and accepted him as their Guru, because Bhagavan gave them an important realization about what they had experienced.
After watching the movie, they were experiencing sexual thoughts. Bhagavan explained to them:
“Thoughts are not your thoughts. So don't get indulged in them.”
He helped them understand that the belief that these thoughts are our thoughts is itself a form of ignorance. It is an illusion. Thoughts are simply thoughts. They are not who we are.
Thought is suffering.
Bhagavan explained that thought is a neurobiological process in the brain. It happens automatically. It is also an electrical impulse.
The five senses receive and process electrical impulses. It is purely biological. Numerous neurons are continuously operating, and what we experience as thoughts arise from this biological process.
This biological process happens automatically.
When certain thoughts are repeated again and again, they become a kind of track or pattern.
Modern science also explains this reality. Thoughts flow from a very old field of accumulated thought patterns. We do not have complete control over them.
Behind every thought, there are numerous factors. The thoughts that arise depend upon those factors.
The problem is not simply that thoughts arise. The important thing is to understand where they come from and what they actually are.
Like Mahatma Gandhi. Although Gandhi was a strong advocate of non-violence, thoughts relating even to violence and killing could arise in his mind.
When he examined where such thoughts had come from, he discovered that there was a connection with the food he had consumed—the food had been prepared or handled by someone who was associated with killing.
The important realization is therefore this:
Thoughts are not ours.
Once we truly understand this, suffering disappears.
The ending of suffering leads us towards Mukti.
No thoughts, no stories.
No stories, no suffering.
No suffering is the way to Mukti.
If we want to attain this state, we need to establish a strong and unshakable connection with Paramjyothi Kalki, Amma Bhagavan.
It is thoughts that create our Prarabdha, our circumstances and experiences. Thoughts create our bondage and our conditioning. Whether they are good or bad, they continue to arise.
All these thoughts are received through the point at the top of the head and, through them, we move away from the state of Brahmananda, the state of supreme bliss.
The flow of our thoughts operates according to the ten programmes that have been established within us.
Therefore, we cannot say that we are the ones creating these thoughts. We are not the doers.
We are only the witnesses.
We simply have to observe our thoughts, experience them, and become aware of them.
That is all.
