I invited few people to my house in Pittsburgh for the last Thanksgiving, and I told them,
“The reason why you are not succeeding is you are not committed.
You are committed to non commitment, WWW – Worldwide wishy washy.
Commitment means focus, and doing the meditations all the time.
Then you don’t ask, “How often do I do the meditations?”
People often ask me this question.
Even before they start they want to find out the end date – “How long do I have to
do this?
Every six months, three months?”
My usual answer is forever.
Meditation is forever.
So, don’t think you are going to discontinue it.
What are you going to do if not meditating?
Is meditation a priority?
No.
What is the priority then?
The priority is living your karma, your misery.
How much of time a regular, ordinary human being spends on meditation versus doing other
things?
If you just meditate just half an hour every day, it will be good two times, half an hour
in the morning, half an hour in the evening.
Very regular.
Well, given the nature of the human mind, I don’t have the commitment.
However much I try to do I am not able to do it.
What do I do?
I was born and raised in an island; it’s a very, very strange temple there.
There are 27 wells or so inside the temple and people go there only for one purpose and
that is to pour the water from the well on your head from all the 24 or 27 wells; you
will be soaked with water.
What does this water do?
The water washes your sin.
Now there are more regulations.
They are not letting people do.
If there are lot of people going there are lot of inconveniences.
So, I used to take truckloads of this water to the people, to the resorts where we are
staying in India and then people will go and put that water over there and cleanse.
Then the plastic spoon in the mouth will turn into silver spoon.
It will take time for the plastic to become silver, but it has happened to some people
easily.
So, removing karma is the most important thing.
A person came to me and then said “I just went and did this fabulous seminar on money.”
I said “Oh yes?”
“How much did you spend?”
“$5,000” “In my opinion you have lost the $5,000.
That’s the bottom line.”
I will tell you that you will not be able to make money.
Go and do any seminar that you want to do, I can give it in writing to you.
You can hold this against me.
You will not make money.
It’s a cruel thing to say.
Why?
Because your karma is like that.
You can change it, but not going through the seminars.
I know how hard you want to go, change it because it’s a spiritual blockage.
The blockage is in the subconscious mind.
If money is in your karma it will come to you no matter what
