Put an end to your dirty ignorance | Nithyananda Satsang | 31 May 2012

Bhagavad Gita (Song of God) is a timeless treatise on the essence of living enlightenment. The Gita was imparted by the enlightened Hindu incarnation Sri Krishna to the warrior-prince Arjuna over 5000 years ago. Amazingly, the spiritual wisdom and life solutions offered in the Gita are so universal and current that it is even today used as a personal transformation guide. In this morning's talk on Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 4 Verse 40, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) distinguishes between "sweet ignorance" and "dirty ignorance". Sri Krishna's words are very strong in this verse: He severely condemns those who refuse all opportunities to receive wisdom. Paramahamsa explains that while "sweet ignorance" is the innocent lack of knowledge which joyfully accepts new information, "dirty ignorance" is the cynical stubborn doubt of those who are generously offered wisdom from the Master, and are suspicious of it. When we suspect the motives of the divine as It extends a helping hand, it is we who reject salvation. God does not curse us, but we ourselves create a hell from which only we can engineer our rescue. By setting down our cynicism and acknowledging the unconditional love of the Divine, we can raise ourselves to catch the rope He casts to us. Otherwise we drown in the ocean of our own suspicion. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- Chapter 4.40 "ajnas casraddadhanas ca samsayatma vinasyati | nayam loko 'sti na paro na sukham samsayatmanah||" Each one of this verse in this chapter is a very popular quotation. Translation -- "The one who is ignorant who does not have trust and who is a skeptic perish. They do not have this ordinary life or the higher life. There is no sense of well-being for the skeptic.' It is like a blow on the brain not just mind. Sometime blow on the mind you don't catch it that strongly. So blow on the brain is the only way. Beautiful word 'samsayatma vinasyati.' It is a shock, powerful shock Bhagavan gives. I know for sure many of the orthodox idiots of those days would have screened at Bhagavan -- how dare you say vinasyati? See it is like a imagine, I won't do it. Imagine suddenly I say all the fellows who have opposed me, who are doubting me, let them all vomit blood and die! Then understand how much of opposition I will attract and how it will be shocking for people. First thing all the fellows will say -- how dare! This fellow tell all these things? How can an enlightened person say all these types of words? You will scream too many thousands of foolish things. That is why I am not saying it, I am saying Bhagavan is saying. But when I repeat it, I mean it. Understand it is a strong word Bhagavan is using. He says samsayatma vinasyati means I think now he is almost fed up of Arjuna and his dirty ignorance. See there is something called as sweet ignorance. Means when a disciple is ignorant, he comes to you with a suffering, you sit with him and you offer the solution, he imbibes it and stands up with life and light. It is such a sweet ignorance! Even ignorance can add sweetness to you and your master. When you stand up, when you are out, even ignorance can be sweet. But this is too much! I think it would have gone to the extreme. I know how Krishna's face would have been when he uttered this word -- samsayatma vinasyati! He must have been really, really, really tired of this Arjuna's dirty ignorance. I won't even say dirty ignorance. I tell you all dirty ignorance is clear arrogant doubting of the authenticity of the master itself. I have seen when some disciples are in depression, suffering. When I call and give them the solution, if they don't practice, if they don't want to come out of the depression, I will always clearly see that they are doubting the very authenticity of me. The moment you doubt the authenticity of me, I cannot help you. See it is like a you are struggling in the ocean, screaming for my help. I am sitting on the ship and sending a rope to you, please hold this rope I will lift you; If you say no I don't even know how to hold the rope, I am struggling even for that then I can at least come down, and hold you by the hand and lift and bring. Or if you doubt the very authenticity -- aah, who knows after taking me to the ship you will kill me or not, after taking me into the ship you may kill me, what will happen? When you doubt the very authenticity, the purpose of rescuing -- bye! I can't even say good bye! I can only bye J I think Bhagavan is seeing Arjuna doubting very authenticity of Krishna. He is fed up. Sick and tired. Otherwise in this 700 verses of Bhagavad Gita, not a single verse other than this where Bhagavan curses people. Even in Anu Gita. See Bhagavan has written two books one is Bhagavad Gita, another is Anu Gita. Both are written by Bhagavan. In both the books other than this one verse, nowhere he curses. This is the only recorded evidence of any enlightened being cursing. Please understand any incarnation cursing and that curse being recorded.
