DISCONNECT
Close your eyes as much as possible
Kaanum ulagai ninaipadhaal Atma ninaivu poyvidum – When seeing, thinking about the world, the feeling that you are Atma will be missed. When you see the world, first you think you are real, and that the world is real. Actually you aren’t real and the world isn’t real. Beyond it is the nameless, formless Shakti that is full of love and wisdom, here and now.
Close your eyes as much you can. While talking on the phone close your eyes. Without attaining Jnana, opening your eyes is a big danger. When you close the external eyes your inner eye will be opened. When you close your eyes, immediately there is a disconnection from the world. Slowly the inner connection will come. As much as possible try to close eyes and talk! Otherwise more and more complexities will develop inside the consciousness and become obstacles.
Tell people to call you by the name that Mahaprabu gave you. (Mahaprabu gives names to disciples, all characteristics of the Truth. The names help the disciple forget his past history. Also, from these names one cannot differentiate even gender) Otherwise on one side Mahaprabu is building and from the other side you are destroying. When people call you, you’ll remember your Swaroopam (true nature).
Whenever you are fresh don’t waste the time. Do Dhyanam. It’s a precious time when you will get that Unarvu (feeling of existence). It is so close to you.
If you were given one blessing to ask from the Guru, ask for Sincerity (Shraddhai). If you get that, everything else will come.
Give more importance to this. Modi or Trump winning election is not going to do any good to you. Where they should be very careful, people aren’t. Where they shouldn’t be careful, they will be very careful.
