But the external has done it's work only if it opens up the internal, once it has opened up the internal, the xterbal is no more qualified or extraordinary or distinct. The thing with ऋषिकेश is that at one point it must call. That is the point of creation the setting up of the world. At another point it must keep you interested in the running of the world. And then finally rishikesh must dissolve. That is the point or dissoution if world. Rishikesh calls the whole world anyway, the dissolution rarely happens. There are lot of people who come but there are very few who reach. Coming is wonderful, but one must also reach. Reaching is dissolution. There was a point in time when one felt great being here. What begins must gain completion. Nothing begins to reamin begin. You would have Heard it the way the Indians put it, Brahma, Vishnu and then Mahesh. Shiva is taken as the highest, because he dissolves. ऋषिकेश is a city of Shiva, it is the city of ending. This symbolically it arises from the forehead of Shiva. There are so many cities for beginning for commencing come here to stop. Rishikesh must not begin for another beginning. Everything is a new beginning. The things must end somewhere. No better place to end. It's the place where bramha Vishnu come now you have been to bramha and Vishnu not it's time to meet shiva. Rishikesh remains meaningless if you meet this goddess, rhat Swami that guru and you don't meet shiva. Shiva is annihilation, it's a full stop abd every full stop is a ground for infinite. This गंगा is symbolically a representation, not of flow, but of stillness comes from nowhere. It only means that it comes from stillness from nowhere. Nowhere means ceasiing and stooping. Just one bkubk of the eye, shiva says enough of it go away. Shiva says rishikesh means nothing or nothingness. If rishikesh is anything for you the you are keeping shiva on abeyance then you are keeping shiva waiting. When ऋषिकेश will be gone the shiva will be there. It's good that one comes but so few people reach. They don't reach because they don't go away. Reaching happens when you go away. L: places like Varanasi, thiruvanmalai would apply same to them? Exactly the same. See the distinctions are a burden on the mind. If A is different from B then one has to remember both A and B. It is wonderful when A to Z are all one, then you can just remember A and forget everything else. And when A to Z all are nothing then it is an even bigger relief. You need not remember anything the mind is totally free. So one mark of spirituality is to not to create distinctions. Not to have anything extraordinary. You know this place where you are sitting, it is designed to be extraordinary. The ganga that you are watching here, is not shiva's ganga it is society's Ganga. All of this is carefully designed to be spiritual and spirituality does not come by design. The window and they were playing the sound of the flute, she is staring as if she is beholding god, the father himself. Life is as natural as a dog, a horse, a snake or a rabbit. We even has designed wonderment, so thar you can sit by the Ganga in the nights and look at her with cultivated. So all the expressions have been made for divine experiences. Can you see around, all these shops that are selling kurtas, even the names of cafes. There was one called Buddha momos little Buddha cafe. Nirvana cottage even the names are holy. You have to have enlightenment, you would be forced to get enlightenment. The smell of incense, you know it's a pollution it is making the air heavy. It will make you feel the air is aromatic. Incense pollutes rhe aur, and if you breather a lot of it. Then your lungs will rebel. The aim is to active dopamine. And then you start feeling a little light and high. It is just that it is morally indefinaable। When it comes from drugs and it is morally every acceptable when it comes from gods. All of this is just a contrast to our urban lives. That is why initially it appears attractive yes it does attract and I too experienced that attraction but that attraction is there because it is a change from our regular patterns. But in the change of patterns the demand to be still in patterns is continued. It is like a picnic, a holy picnic. When we look at things we are being impacted, influenced. You watch youngsters chasing role model they are being impacted. To impacted is to be being influenced. So who is the first man who would come here? Who is wet? Who is the next one who will come again the one who is wet? Ultimately the city will be all full of wet people. Now who is burning? Everyone is coming in expectation of burning. Ultimately it is just a huge crowd of all wet people, expecting that there must be surely someone who is burning. But have you ever tried to figure out whether there is actually someone who is burning. Your feeling is dependent on the looking. Those who come here in search of holy people, who are the holy people, who are the people that they meet? They meet people who have already been declared by the society as holy. भक्ति की शुरुवात दक्षिण भारत से हुई थी। भक्ति सूक्ष्म चीज है, जगह माहोल है। Do you come to rishikesh and meet a holy man in a rickshaw puller? When we meet holy men these are the holy men who have been crowded as holy. We have been conditioned to meet them as hoky. Is holiness a matter of human certification. Readymade holiness, preordained divinity. Just like you are told that this politician is good, just as we are told that the religion that one is born is great religion or someone told that the one who is born in the country is best country. We are told by some external. If I already have been told then what will be the quality of my experience.. To get transformed you cannot walk on a path laid out by you. So it is the same here, when you have been told that people are burning here, so even the most wet of men will appear as burning to you. In the real world they are the most ordinary of people. Even lower than ordinary, even more conditioned than you. Just because they are sitting on high pedestials and are sitting in a so called holy city, you start venetrating them. You take them out to your own place you take take away their thrones from them then what are they? But they have been kept wflat and kept lofted by people who come here, hoping to have a holy experiences. So they serve as a fulfillers of that hope. What do you think that divinity is concentrated in a particular geography? If you have eye to see them then you must have seen them somewhere else too. It only means that you are projecting and imagining there is no greatness as such. We're wasting our time only by visiting here and there. The true place is an environment of the being. The grass is equally green there. The grace must not be linked to their choice. The grace is happening irrespective of their choice. It could have happened anywhere. Don't link to rishikesh, it could have happened without rishikesh too. Be a sparrow. Visit rishikesh like a sporarow not like a spiritual seeker. The sparrow does not avoid rishikesh and it also does not think that it will find something special here. Inside means insight , inside first not mean Inside the body. Inside meant something else. The Shiva is natraj. Nat means who dances, nat means who is expert at skills. He is the mightiest dancer. Nat also means who is not. Prashant means more peaceful (
