Guruji is giving this beautiful commentary on the Ashtavakra Gita . Below is a compilation of Bawa’s(@khurshed) tweets on the same .

Day 1 : May 22

Guruji is serenity personified, as He entered the satsang hall, the heavens opened up to a huge downpour…

Happiness is when wanting ends and giving or sharing begins

Santosh or contentment is a niyama, a rule for spirituality … No one can take it from you if you deeply decide you are going to have it!!

Day 2 : May 23

Narayana Narayana Narayana Narayana. Swami Pragyanandji, the venerable old sage from Rishikesh is with us again to regale us with his wisdom

He said all of you are really lucky, and I count myself among all of you… The milk of the cow is tough to get but in the company of saints . You will get that milk as butter!

Guruji has started to speak … The entire atmosphere has suddenly become somehow more silent

You think you are someone, rich, poor, muslim, brahmin, etc and then you spend your entire life being that, trying to be that, this is ego

This wanting to be someone stops you utterly from realizing who you truly are, you are simply witness to everything

When you feel happy you feel somerhing inside you expand when feeling bad, you feel somethong collapse, getting to know this is worthwhile

Each and everyone is mukt, is free… Right now. You have always been so, are now and will always be

tonight while sleeping feel yourself free from all doership and experiencing… Karta aur bhogta se mukt ho ke so jao

Usually people feel that the mind is in the body, know that actually it is the body which is in the mind… Be free, good night

Day 3 :May 24

You are different from the roles you play this is the only way to true happiness

I am someone or something, this feeling is the one that drags you far far away from spirituality

So Ashtavakra says you are diff from wha t you think you are from the roles you play you are free, a witness to everything, infinite and Free like the sky

The big serpent of doingness has bitten you, spread its poison in you, drink the nectar of non doingness and you will experience bliss

There is an aspect of you which simply witnesses, which has never ever “done” anything, get just a glimpse of this

That you are not doing anything, things are happening (thru me, if at all)

That which you have been searching for, you are that! You are a veritable treasure trove of that. You are bliss incarnate

Getting something new is not going to bring you happiness, simply being a witness to everything is where there is joy

To be someone special is sign of ego, I am nothing is witness aspect

Light the Fire that I am pure witness consiousness within you and burn all the sadness, become free, be in Bliss

I am vast free like the sky, like space, and just like the everything is happening in space, and doesn’t affect space, so it is with me!

So many times storms of emotion have raged within you and subsided, just remember all those times and know that if one more comes…That too will pass… Be a witness, to whatever is happening, know that you are not that

What you are made up of is Anand (Bliss), know this and simply relax… The more you relax in Yourself, the more you will Know this

Day 4:May 25

Whoooo what a rush you get when He enters satsang, He is sitting now, with eyes closed and that enigmatic half smile hara hara bole shankara

Body is dirty, use soap n water, with bhog (experiencing stuff thru 5 senses) your prana (life force) becomes dirty, to clean that up do

Pranayama, and to clean up the intellect its Knowledge that all this is temporary, that this body is anyways going to become ashes

And to clean up the mind its Bhakti, satsang with devotion

each subtle layer by layer needs to be cleansed then the Knowledge dawns as an experience

This entire creation is a reflection of your own Self

If you are sad, then its because you have poured poison over your own self, remedy is surrender, this will make all the poison into nectar

Arre yaar, you are made up of Bliss Anand, what are you miserable about?! He said the arre yaar soooo cutely :)

Like various sweets are made into many shapes, and you can say I am eating a star or a camel, you are actually just eating sugar Same way everything in this creation is madfe out of exactly the same thing, as you go subtler and subtler you will see this as a Truth

Smile from the depths of your Self, from your very foundation, just once and that will never go away

But when will this happen? I am in sooo much bondage. Ashtavakra says what to say what you think, that’s what you will experience

You feel bondage and you will be in bondage … Wake up! You are free and you will so be

Knowing you are Free, do whatever you have to do in the world

Rich is the one who is content, the one who has desires is a beggar! Now does this mean that when I have a desire for Knowledge, for For mukti, I am a beggar?! No, no says Guruji, but that’s the topic for tomorrow, and with a twinkle of mischief He concluded tonights talk

Jai Gurudeva! Gooooood night tons of love from our beautiful home – The Bangalore Ashram

Day 5:May26

Its that magical time of the day again, Guruji has just entered Yagyashala to a jubilant Om Namah Shivaya bhajan…

Desires when fulfilled leave you in exactly the same place where you started from, like a merry go round, you go round n round but end up Where you started…

There is only One, and everything is in and part of this One

Nothing here is destructible, yet nothing is eternal either – this is the play of Maya, and this Knowledge will become apparent only when You realise you are eternal, only when your mind and intellect at last settle down Nothing can touch you, things may be happening around you, in your body, in your mind, none of that touches you at all, you are Niranjana Guruji is singing alakh niranjana bhava bhaya ranjana, Narayan, Narayan, Narayana Hari Narayan…

Tonight think of the Lord Narayan, as He is resting and relaxing in Bliss, right there (here) within You, for a few minutes, 10 minutes .. Then sleep a meditative sleep …

Day 6: May 27

Moriya re baapa Moriya re … Guruji has just entered Satang … Today is all the more special bcoz it Buddha Poornima, the day

Today Lord Buddha was born, attained Enlightenment and died, the auspicious day of Buddha Poornima

The pleasures of the world are like the light of a small candle, the pleasure of the Self is the bright light of a thousand suns

Getting something by doing is worth hardly anything getting by doing absolutely nothing is worth getting but doing nothing is most difficult

He is giving statistics, you eat 2 kg food everyday, when you are 40 you have consumed 32000 kgs that’s 32 TONS of food, you calculate water

Desires for Knowledge Meditation have got you here; these are good desires you need to keep them they lead you to the Ultimate Happiness

2 people are walking, one walks with nervousness, he is a seeker, the other walks with confidence, he is the guide, he knows

Same way you will finally not need to take any more births when you Realise, though you may come back at will, as a guide to help others

Where you are born, this depends on your Karma, but where you will reach this depends on what you do!

That’s all for tonight, Jai Gurudeva! Good Night Love bawa – hari bol hari bol…..

Jai Gurudev
