We are Citizens of Planet Earth | Nithyananda Satsang | 14 May 2013

In today's morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda describes the process of evolution from human to divine. Even if we begin our spiritual practice in an ordinary way with ordinary goals, step by step we sink more deeply into our devotion and raise ourselves to the next level, until we achieve enlightenment. Through the simple repetition of the four principles of life -- integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching others -- we intensify our understanding and ultimately fall in love with dharma. Once we are transformed inwardly, the principles -- tattwas -- become truths -- or satyas -- within us. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- I welcome you all with my love and respects. Today is Basava Jayanti. Basavanna a great enlightened master who created social revolution based on spiritual truths. See there were very few people who were able to cause social revolution based on spiritual truths. In Gujarat, Bhagawan Swaminarayan, in Tamil Nadu Thiru Jnanasambandhar Swami, and in Karnataka, Basavanna and Shri Ramanuja. Of course, even Adi Shankara can be included in that list. All of them have created a community. Please understand, the whole community of Lingayats is created by Basavanna. The whole community of Pillaimar is created by Jnanasambandhar. That is why Jnanasambandhar's name is Pillaiyar. That is why the community is called Pillaimar. And, the whole Iyengar community is created by Shri Ramanuja. All these great masters accepted people from all religion, caste, awakened their spiritual strength and created a social revolution based on spiritual principles; which I am trying to do. Basavanna, Jnanasambandhar, Ramanuja, Bhagawan Swaminarayan, all of them are our ideals. We are travelling in the same lines, same roads in which they all travelled - Causing a social revolution based on spiritual principle. Causing the social revolution based on spiritual principles. How much Basavanna suffered you should know! You should read his biography. God! The amount of torture he went through! And the amount of torture Ramanuja went through! The amount of torture Swaminarayan went through! The amount of torture Jnanasambandhar went through! All of them, other than Jnanasambandhar; everyone literally picked up the sword itself to fight. Bhagawan Swaminarayan, Basavanna and the great masters, they are forced so much. Finally, they picked up the sword! Bhagawan Swaminarayan personally went to wage war, because six-hundred of his Paramahamsas were beaten black and blue by the negative elements. Basavanna, his life was war; because so many were trying to......those Brahmin elements were trying to eliminate Basavanna. And, Jnanasambandhar, he never picked up the sword, but he has to use the king to eliminate around ten-thousand so-called Jain monks who are not actually monks, but using Jainism for their own vested interests. If you see all their struggle, then you will understand. See, as long as the spiritual truths are kept in the forests, society does not bother. They don't get disturbed. They say, 'You live in your dream, we will live in our dream. You don't bring your dream on us and wake us up!' When the spiritual principles are influenced into the society, sent into the society in the form of social revolution, people need to wake up, which they don't want! Ramanuja had to run away so many times and hide in Melkote! Bhagawan Swaminarayan has to fight in the war! Basavanna had to fight in the war! And Jnanasambandhar had to run from place to place! I tell you, only with all that struggle they created a social revolution based on spiritual principles. Now you will understand why we are being attacked so much! For the last five-thousand years, humanity has not changed! And it will not change! Whenever the spiritual principles are brought into society as social revolution, society has to wake up, which is too much, which they don't want. So, naturally, whoever calls them to wake up, they claim they are mad people or selfish people. They give all titles and attributes so that their sleep will not be disturbed; they can continue to be in slumber! Today, me personally and Dhyanapeetam, honors Basavanna for his great spiritual contribution and social revolution. Understand, I bless all the devotees in Karnataka to live the path shown by great saint, spiritual being, enlightened master, Basavanna! I will enter into satsangh. Today's subject for Nithya Satsangh is: 'PRACTICING THE PRINCIPLES LAYER BY LAYER'. Listen! An ordinary man can start Integrity. Just through the Integrity, if he practices layer by layer, layer by layer, goes deeper and deeper, just by Integrity he will become enlightened! He will become enlightened! Listen! Layer by layer practicing the Integrity, just by Integrity he will become enlightened! Same way, an ordinary man can start practicing Responsibility as a simple vow to be successful in his life, to be more productive, to be more inspiring and end up being the Lord of the Universe,
