THE WAY TO CALMNESS

Parts of this message was addressed by Paramahamsa Hariharananda to the delegates attending the First International Kriya Yoga Seminar in Spietz, Switzerland. May 7-14, 1994

O God, O God, O God, I am so happy, so happy, so happy. I have reached Switzerland and seen the power of God here. John wrote in the Bible "Blessed are they who come in the name of God." So you all are blessed, you have come from a long distance. But how will you be blessed? If you do not know thyself, you cannot know God.

Where is God? I am telling that God is all-pervading, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent. So when He is all-pervading, He is also remaining in your whole system.

In the Bible, Matthew 4:4, it said that "your mouth is not made for bread only, but the words that proceed from your mouth is the talk of God." So you should know that you are not talking. From your birthday, the power of God is inhaling. It is written in Genesis 1:27 and 2:7, "He made man and woman in His own image, and He breathed into the nostrils the breath of His life and He became the living Soul in the whole universe."

The Kingdom of God is at Your Hand.

The marvelous power of God is remaining in your whole body, but you are ignoring it. So you are not able to know; you are in delusion, illusion and error. Jesus also said "Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at your hand. "What is hand? It means you should meditate, then you will get God-realization. It is at your hand. Also, it is written in Matthew 6:22-23, "The light of your body is your eyes. If therefore thine eye be single, the whole body shall be full of light. If therefore thine eye be evil, then thy whole body shall be full of darkness."

All the persons who have come here - you are the living power of God. Just take a rusty wire and plug it, immediately you will see the marvelous current is in the rusty wire. Your whole body is the body of God but you do not feel it. Because many are teaching many things and practicing them yet are not getting calmness. But the authentic, original Kriya Yoga technique taught by Lahiri Baba, Swami Shriyukteshwarji, who also taught me, I taught that very thing to Rajarshi Peterananda and some other authorized Yogacharyas. They know the same technique and nobody else knows that technique, so you can learn from him. Kriya Yoga is the stepping stone of all religions. As you climb up on the seven-storied building, you are to climb up with every step. So we will teach you how, within three minutes' time, to purify your body. Kriya Yoga is the highway of common religion. What is the highway of common religion? Calmness.

Get His Calmness.

How you will get that calmness? You are to come to the touch of Rajarshi Peterananda and Swami Hariharananda, who will purify your body. In your body there are 108 body parts. We will purify them, and within three minutes' time we can give you divine sound. Then the whole body and 108 body parts and divine light will be in the whole body, and divine movement sensation of God in your whole system.

What makes it move? God, Who is inhaling since your birthday. It is written in Genesis that He is inhaling from your birthday but you are not seeking Him. You are fortunate that you all have come here, now we will teach you how to get that calmness. It is also written in Mark 8:36: "Ifyou gain the whole world and lose your own Self, then what is your life? What is your profit?" You are God in human being, you are born to perceive God, to conceive God and to realize God. In your whole system, wherever I am touching, I am touching the power of God. But you are not feeling it. Why you are not perceiving? Because of maya, kundalini.

What is that kundalini! Kundalini is remaining inside your brain. On the back side of your head, there is the occipital bone. Below the occipital bone there are two cracks, two sharp holes. From that place 11 pairs of cranial nerves are entering. Six pairs remain in the upper mid-brain, and six pairs remain in the lower midbrain. So you are forgetting that you are God. You are busy with eating, drinking and being merry. Undoubtedly, you are to eat and drink and be merry. But without breath you cannot do it. So you should know Kriya Yoga. Kriya Yoga will teach you how to get merrymaking joy. God is within you, and He has given joy in your five sense-organs. But you do not feel that it is God's joy. He is constantly inhaling through your nose, He is evolving you for your God-realization.

The 18th Century English poet Alexander Pope said:
Know thyself, presume not God to scan The proper study of mankind is man.
What is the proper study of mankind? To know oneself. Know thyself. Presume not God to scan. How you will know? By coming to the proper person who will remove all your negativity. Your divine kingdom is inside the cranium. And one pair of vagus nerves is coming down in the whole body. That is your kundalini, maya. Pindam kundalini shaktim. Mula-padme kundalini yavat nidra-yata prabhuh tavat kinchid na sidhyate tantra-mantra archanadikam.

The power of God is inhaling at the top of your head, so you are to fix your attention in that place. And if you magnetize your spine, with a short breath, then automatically you get extreme calmness. You will be free from your body-sense and free from worldly sense. You only hear divine sound in the whole world. Your body is full of maya and delusion, full of evils. But that evil will disappear if you turn on the switch. You will see that the whole room is God in a moment's time.

Learn How to Turn the Switch On.

You should know how to turn the switch on. You have two bodies: one is Sa and the other is ham. Sa is hiding in the divine kingdom. He is inhaling constantly. This is your life. If He doesn't inhale, then you will die immediately. So you should not die. You are not born for death. You are born for immortality. You are God in human being. Any work you do is done by the power of God. You may be rich, you may be poor, you may be a scientist, you may be a business person, no matter. Any work you do is done through the agency of the breath. That breath is the inhalation activated by the power of God from the fontanel.

If you practice this technique, only for five minutes' time, then you can get extreme calmness, which is Godliness.

[Baba sings:]
Authentic Kriya Yoga is the stepping stone of all religion. Without this no one can stop his worldly sense. Without this no one can stop his worldly sense. Kriya Yoga, in three minutes' time, can give you divine calmness.
Within three minutes' time,
You can get divine movement sensation, sound and light.
Kri means do your work, Ya means your indwelling Self. Kri means do your work, Ya means your indwelling Self.

Kri means do your work; any work you do, that is kri. And who is doing that work? Your indwelling Self Who is inhaling from above. Any work you do, that work is done by Him. If you feel it, then you will remain in the material world and will get God-realization. That is your spiritual world. It is why you are coming here. If you only hear our words, then you cannot profit from it. You have come and are staying here the whole day and night, so you should only say to Peterananda Rajarshi "Please teach us Kriya Yoga."

Meditate, Meditate, and Meditate.

You constantly meditate for seven days. You have left everything, you have spent money, so you meditate and meditate and meditate. One day surely you will behold the divine goal. Just now! We can purify you. You will be free. I am telling that Kriya Yoga is the highway of common religion.

Kriya Yoga will give liberation in a short period. The only star of God. If you turn on the switch, you will see that the whole room, the body-room, is lighted. Then you will feel that your skin, your flesh, your diaphragm, your cells, atoms, tissues, your whole body do not belong to you. They belong to the Almighty Father. So, kindly meditate and meditate and meditate. Just now, for seven days you have come. You have come from a long distance. You all sit, don't make any amusements for seven days. Only you tell Rajarshi Peterananda, "Give us divine vibration, divine sound, divine light, give us extreme calmness." Then you will gain in seven days' time, you will earn. That will be your asset.

You can practice this for five-six minutes, the whole day and night, your whole life; you will feel that you are God in human being and human being in God. I want to bow you all. Yoga karma sukausalam. Only the technique will enable you. Sarva roga upasamam. Your diseases will all disappear. Jathamgni vibhardanam. You will get extreme appetite. Babusakantim amalam. You will get beautiful, lustrous body. You see Hariharananda: he is eighty-six, he is so old, but still his body is just like that of a young man. And why? Because he practices Kriya Yoga.

You should not just believe it. Your Guru will be your own Guru if you have taken initiation from any other person. No matter. But you
should practice the technique. Kriya Yoga will cultivate the body land. It is also said in the Bible that you should cultivate the body land. Then you can get a good harvest. One land is well cultivated so the farmer gets a good harvest. Another land is just medium cultivated, so they get a medium harvest. And this land is not cultivated. It is written in the Bible - Jesus used a parable to say that you should learn how to cultivate your body land.

[Next Baba sings a Bengali song by Ramprasad: "O Mind You Do Not Know How To Farm. "]
Ramprasad is a very realized person. He said, "You do not know how to cultivate your body land." If you cultivate your body land, then you will get extreme calmness. Then you will feel the power of God. The power of God is always remaining within you. You will see you are God in human being and human being in God.

Thank you very much. I want to bow you all.

Do not carry the cross on your chest and the devil on your back
