 
MIRACLES DO HAPPEN Back...
"In these modern times, a place which is supposed to be a holy place becomes the most unholy place. It’s such a topsy-turvy condition these days. And when we are trying to establish something very fundamental, it’s like a little seedling that has to come out of the stones, it has to fight lots of things, so we have to keep our brains intact and be sensible about everything and try to see what we can achieve through our patience and understanding. It’s very important.
Today I think is a very great day, for all of us, because this place is the place of Virat, of Shri Vitthala. It is the place where Shri Vitthala appeared to a devoted son and when he asked him that, 'You better stand on a brick', he stood there. And they say that he stood there, waiting. Some people say that the statue that we see came out of the Mother Earth on this sand and that's what Pundarikaksh carried saying that, 'These are the ones who came to see me and my parents, I was busy with them, so they are standing on the same brick which I threw.' Now the whole story has to be taken in a very sensible way, with the common sense in it, that God himself is capable of all kinds of miracles. We, who are created by God, are doing some things which look miraculous. Say, if you take about hundred year old situation of this world, we can say that today we are seeing many things which could be miraculous. Hundred years back nobody could have thought that we could have all these arrangements done here, in such far-fetched places.
But all these miracles come from the power of God. So we are the creator of that 'wee' bit... very wee bit of that miracle. So all the miracles of God cannot be explained and should not be explained. They are beyond our minds. And to make people feel the presence of God, God can do anything. He can move into all of the three dimensions and also in the fourth dimension and can do whatever he feels like. That’s what you have seen now in your every-day-to-day life. How many miracles take place, to all of you, and you can’t understand how it works out. Even it works out on things which are not living and people are quite amazed how these things happen. So we have to believe now, after seeing all this ourselves, that he is God and he can do anything that he feels like and we are nothing! We are nothing.
There should be no rationality about it, of understanding God’s miracles. 'How can it be? How could it be?' You can’t explain. Only when you achieve that state of mind where you believe through your experiences that God is all-powerful. It’s very difficult. This concept is very difficult because we are limited people. We have limited powers. We cannot understand how God could be all-powerful because we haven’t got the capacity. So this God, who is our creator, who is our preserver, the one who desired that we should exist, who is our existence itself, is an all-powerful God. All-powerful. He can do whatever he likes with you. He can create another world. He can destroy this world. It’s only if he has to desire."
ENLIGHTENMENT OF THE BRAIN
"My idea of coming to Pandharpur for Shiv Puja was this, that Shiva represents the spirit and the spirit is residing in all of you in your hearts. The seat of Sadashiva is on top of your head but is reflected in your heart. Now, your brain is the Vitthala. So to bring spirit to your brain means enlightenment of your brain. Enlightenment of your brain means the limited capacity of your brain has to become unlimited in its capacity to realise God. I will not use the word 'understand' but 'to realise' God, how powerful he is, how miraculous he is, how great he is.
The another is that the brain of man can create, of course out of the dead, but when the spirit comes into brain, then you create living things, living work… of Kundalini. Even the dead start behaving like living because you touch the spirit in the dead. Like the nucleus inside every atom or a molecule has the spirit of that molecule. And if you become your spirit, we can say the brain of a molecule or an atom is like the nucleus, body of the nucleus. But the one that controls the nucleus is the spirit that resides within the nucleus. So now you have got the attention of the body, the whole body of the atom, then the nucleus and inside the nucleus is the spirit.
In the same way, we have this body, the attention of the body. And then we have the nucleus, is the brain and the spirit is in the heart. So the brain is controlled through the spirit. How? That around the heart there are seven auras, which can be multiplied into any number. Seven raised to power 16 hundred, which are the ones which watch the seven chakras, raised to power 16 hundred. 16 thousand, sorry.
Now this spirit is watching through this aura. Watching, I am again saying, watching through this aura. This aura is watching the behaviour of your seven centres in your brain. Is also watching all the nerves that are working in the brain. Watching again.
But when you bring the spirit into your brain, then you go two steps ahead. Because when your Kundalini rises, she touches the Sadashiva and Sadashiva informs the spirit. Informs in the sense, reflects, in the spirit. So that’s the first state where the watching auras start communicating to your different chakras in the brain and integrating it. But when you bring your spirit to your brain, this is the second state. Then you really become self-realised, in the full way. In the full way because then your self, that is the spirit, becomes your brain. Action is very dynamic. It opens, then, the fifth dimension in the human being.
First, when you become realised, collectively conscious, and start raising the Kundalini, you are in, you cross the fourth dimension. But when your spirit comes into your brain, then you become the fifth dimension, means you become the doer.
Our brain, now, for example says, 'Alright, lift this thing up'. So you touch it with your hand, you lift it up. You are the doer. But when the brain becomes the spirit, the spirit is the doer. And when spirit is the doer, then you become a complete Shiva, self-realised. In that state, if you get angry, you are not attached. You are not an attached person to anything whatsoever. If you possess anything, you are not attached. You cannot attach because spirit is detachment, complete detachment. You don’t bother about any attachments whatsoever. Even for a second, you are not attached.
Now, I would say, to understand the detachment of spirit, we should study ourselves very well, clearly. How are we attached? We are attached, firstly, by our brain. Mostly by our brain because all our conditionings are in our brain and all our ego is also in our brain. So all emotional attachments are through our brain and all our egoistical attachments also are through our brain. That’s why it is said that after realisation one must try to practise the Shiva-Tattwa by practising detachment. Now, how do you practise this detachment? Because we get attached to something, of course through our brain but through our attention. So we try to do what
[audio has a break - check a video] we call 'Chitta Nirodh', is to control your attention. 'Where is it going?' In the practice of Sahaja Yoga, if you have to rise higher, you have to improve your own instrument and not the instrument of others. This is one thing one should know for definite.
Now, you just watch your attention, where is it going. Watch yourself. As soon as you start watching your self, your attention, you will become identified with your spirit. Because if you have to watch your attention you have to be your spirit, otherwise how will you watch it? So now see,'Where is your attention going?' First, the attachment is, in all gross ways, to your body. So we see Shiva doesn’t know attachment to his body. He sleeps anywhere, he goes to the cemeteries and sleeps there because he’s not attached. He can never be caught up by any bhoot or anything, nothing of the kind. He is detached.
The detachment is to be watched and seen through your own attachments. Now, because you are realised souls, not yet the spirit, it has not yet come into your brain of course but still you are realised souls, so what you can do is at least to watch your attention, you can do that. You can watch your attention very clearly, by seeing where your attention is going. And then controlling your attention, also you can do. Very simple.
