Words From The Heart

People tell me, "Swamiji, it is very inspiring to listen to you talking. Now we have to apply it in our day-to-day life and see if it will work."

See, be very clear: I always tell only practical things. Never think that I tell things that can't be done in day-to-day life.

Actually all I am doing is, repeating the same paramahamsa nithyananda,upanishads,vedanta – but in different words, in the modern context, so that you feel comfortable listening to it; so that you feel that it is relevant to you, so that you can follow it. And there is another thing: If you read these ideas in a book, they will simply be moving from the head of the writer, to your own head. There is no scope for any experience. But when you listen to these words from a Master, from someone who speaks to you from the experience of his soul – they will enter deep into you, whether you are aware of it or not.

Be very clear: I am not sharing my knowledge with you. I am sharing my experience, my life, with you. When I speak from my Being, it has to touch your Being. It will transform your life. There is no other way.

Vivekananda spoke in Chicago, "My dear American brothers and sisters" The auditorium thundered with applause. A lady wrote, "It was not just the applause. He had won an entire nation. We felt as if a current of Love was passing through us, through our Being…!" She later asked Vivekananda how it happened and he simply replied, "Because it came from within me."

Vivekananda spoke from his Being. When words emanate from the brain, it will touch the brain of the other person and this is called 'communication'. When words emanate from the heart of one person, it touches the heart of the other person and this is called 'communion.' Communication is not enough; we need to know how to commune. Now I tell you: I talk from the bottom of my heart, so you will listen whole-heartedly.
