A True Master

Q. How to recognize a master (enlightened one)?

One day, I went on a picnic with some of my friends. We booked a big room there and we all slept close together in the same room. 
I often get up for meditation at 5:00 am. So after the bath, when I sat for meditation, I first saw my friends sleeping in front of me, who were sleepy. In their sleep, they were not conscious at all. Somebody's hand here, someone's leg is there, saliva was flowing from someone's mouth. I carefully inspected them. 
20 minutes later my first friend woke up. He had no awareness of where he was. He rubbed his eyes. He saw his fellow friend slept nearby. He was still not fully conscious. When he got a little conscious, then his attention went to me. Suddenly he became conscious. He knew the situation of me and himself and his colleagues, who are we? What are we here for? Now he was aware of the conditions of three different people, himself. myself and my sleeping friends. He was still half asleep, half awake. The dream of sleep was still going on in his mind. Now what to do next? He was also planning that. 
As soon as he tried to awake one of his friends, our third friend woke up. He had no awareness of himself for a few moments. Now, first friend was aware of the situation of four people, me, himself, just awakened friend and the other sleeping friends.
The same four-five conditions in the world are between sleeping and awake one. If someone, like my first friend, gets a little awakening, then he can easily identify himself and enlightened one among these sleeping people. There is no other way.  
To identify a master, you have to get a little awakening.

Bhagvat Gita

Explain the essence of Gita in your own words. The soul is beyond birth and death, but you do not know it. On knowing it, you are situated in your soul, who has never been born and will never die. This is the state of salvation, this is self-achievement. After getting that, you rise above all sorrows and happiness and always live in bliss. This is the enlightenment state. By thinking about things, you become attached to them. Because of that you leave your soul and do work to get things, which causes misery.  No human being lives without work. Therefore, you should do work without attachment, located in your soul. This is the work-free stage. Doing no work, leaving the world and is not renunciation. Because wherever you go the world will follow you with your mind. Therefore, it is renunciation to rise above your mind while living in the world.  Wherever this fickle mind wanders, it should be removed from there and put it in soul, in your being so that you can be si...

Sports_How to be best player

Playing is the easiest work to do.It should not be called work. It occurs itself in it. Children play, elders should also play. Sport makes you healthy. In sports, both your mind and body move being one. You become simple. You get refreshed. You achieve health, receive awareness. Those who are expert in playing well become meditators at that time. They know how to play mindfully? They become so conscious in the game that their mind stops thinking. They live moment to moment, be in the present, achieve oneness. I am talking about the oneness which the yogi attains through yoga. The player is not alone in this oneness. The whole game starts happening in him. He becomes the watcher of the  whole game.  Now he knows when to do, what to do, and  how to do? You see a top most player in the game. How alert does he! How attractive and aggressive he is! It all comes from his oneness, consciousness. Watch, how does a cat hunt. How focused is she to her prey?  In he...

The God

What is the simplest way to achieve God?  The simplest way to attain God is meditation. Today I tell about the meditation through which thousands of people have become available to God. This method is derived from Bodhyadharma. Millions of people are following this method.  In this 15-minute meditation, you can sit in any posture, in which you have comfort or lie down on your back like a dead-body. Leave your body loose. Close your eyes lightly and feel that my thoughts are calming ... My thoughts are calming .... Within four-five minutes you will see, your thoughts have calmed down. Then concentrate your mind on your incoming, outgoing breaths. Do not think. Allow your mind to move with your breath. As the breath goes in, your mind also goes in and feel the place, feel the point from where your breath returns back out. And also the point from where the breath returns from outside. In this way, with breath you also keep going in and out. In a few days you will rece...
