From the book "Morning Talks", written by Sant Kirpal Singh 1967-10-30, Delhi, Sawan Ashram Talk available as mp3 at audio.sant-kirpal-singh.org I was just speaking about the chastity of life, which is the most important part of the spiritual life. Spirituality cannot dawn on a mind which is driven or attracted through the outgoing faculties to the outward enjoyments. Out of the five outgoing faculties of eyes, ears, nose, touch and taste, three are most powerful. Lust attacks us eighty percent through the eyes, fourteen percent through the ears and the remaining six percent mainly through touch. So how to maintain chastity? that's the point. You have just to control your attention. The mind and outgoing faculties derive their power from the soul, and the outward expression of the soul is the attention. So if our attention is riveted at the centre of the soul in the body and we make the best use of the outgoing faculties, we will not be affected by what we see or hear. You might be looking at somebody but you need not be doing so with your full consciousness, even with your open eyes. Somebody might be relating long stories of vicious things to you. If you control your attention, even with your open ears you won't hear. We derive effects from outside and wherever our attention goes, we are affected by the radiation of those with whom we come in contact. If they are pure, that's all right. If not, you get their radiation. How to be air conditioned, I would say, is the question. If there is heat outside, what should we do? We should become air conditioned. If we become centred within your own self by withdrawing your attention from outside, from the body below, then...? If you would like to see through the eyes, you might see at your will. If you will be self centred, you won't be affected by any other of the outgoing faculties. But as we are given up to the outward attachments, naturally we will receive impressions from outside. To be pure is the ground on which God manifests. That is why Christ said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God". Buddha, Christ and other Saints and Masters all gave out in their own way this very thing. They all said, "You must be pure at heart". Out of the abundance of heart a man speaks. You speak what you have already got within you. If you have got pure thoughts within you, then you are pure. Then naturally, whatever will go out from you, through your mouth or by radiation, will have the same effect. Whatever we speak, whatever we radiate, carries the effect of what is within us. That is why it is said, "A man speaks out of the abundance of his heart". Everybody says, "Be chaste, observe celibacy." For that the only criterion or specific remedy is what? to be self centred. It is we who give power to the mind. It is we who give power to the outgoing faculties. It is we who see good or bad outside. If we become self centred, we may make the best use of our outgoing faculties however we like. At the present time, we are driven away, attracted by outside things like anything. If you are self centred and somebody touches you, you will not be affected. You will be air conditioned. But if you touch those who are not air conditioned, that will carry its effect. So for that, all Masters have enjoined "Don't touch anybody – don't look into the eyes of others". These are the outward precautions to save you. Just like when a tree is cut down, first the branches are shorn off and it is then easier to cut the stem. These precautions are only to cut off the branches. But the whole thing will depend on being self centred, to get your attention centred within you. The outward expression of the soul is called attention or surat. If you become self centred, you can make use of any of your outgoing faculties at your own will and pleasure. Now we cannot do that. We are driven like anything. You are in the world and see everybody. The only precaution is, don't look into the eyes of others and you will be saved. But still the main remedy, the specific remedy, lies in being air conditioned. Then you may come in touch with anybody, like a man who lives among snakes but who has some incantation to protect him, and so is never bitten. You follow my point, what I want to bring out to you? So being self centred is the main thing. That will come in due course with regular devotion of time to your spiritual practices. By airing the soul, you are cut off from outside. By seeing intently the Light within, you are cut off from the body and outgoing faculties. A doctor who used to examine my Master once said to Him, "You say that you are withdrawn from the body. Can you prove it?" "All right," the Master said, "examine me if you like," and He became self centred. The doctor found hardly any indication of life in His body. Even His blood circulation was very slow. It is the attention which gives life to the body. This we have forgotten. We are engaged in outward practices which involve the use of the outgoing faculties. You may do these for hundreds of years. They may be either good acts or bad acts and will react accordingly. But unless you become self centred, I will again say, you cannot be saved by outward attachments. So the best way to attain purity is to be self centred. If you want to make use of your eyes or other organs of the outgoing faculties, use them, otherwise not. He is a self centred man, I would say, who is called a Saint. He comes into contact with you and sometimes he pats you or looks at you mercifully. This does not mean that He is influenced by you. He influences others, because He is competent. We are influenced by others, that is the pity. There is a vast difference between the influence of a Saint and the influence of others. You may say that He is sitting with us. Sometimes He talks to us in a jolly way. Do you mean to say that He is attracted by you? Not the least. He sits with us, talks with us only to attract us and others to come on the right way. So there is a vast difference between a man who is self centred and who has come solely to help others to become self centred, and a man who has not become self centred. The time factor is a necessity of course. Rome was not built in a day. Every Saint has His past and every sinner his future. These are the things which we have to grasp and make the best use of. Be self centred, and for that you must be regular in your practices. Go all through life with your attention centred within you. I learnt this secret from Napoleon's life. I have read more than three hundred books written about the lives of Saints and other great men. Napoleon was a very self centred man I tell you. At about 2 o'clock in the morning he was writing the proceedings of a primary school. It happened to be the morning of the battle of Waterloo. At about 8 o'clock, he was walking in the garden. One of his ministers was there and asked him, "What are you doing? the battle is due to start at 9 o'clock." "Oh, that is at 9 o'clock, it is 8 o'clock now," replied Napoleon. You see how self centred he was. I have read the biographies of many Saints. We learn something from every man's life. Man is not made great by learning something in his head. It is something which he has brought out in his own life which makes him great. You follow my point now? Everybody lays great stress on being chaste, but still we are not chaste. The reason is that the atmosphere is poisoned. The people whom we touch are poisoned. It is better if you can get the company of a good self centred man. If not, then it is better to live alone. These things are referred to in the books but are not given clearly, cut and dried, as I am just putting before you. You want to be pure, all right, then be self centred. The diaries will help you, as in cutting the branches off a tree. When the fruit is cut from a tree it cannot remain fresh. It remains fresh as long as it is untouched by the hand of man. If it is touched by the hand of man, it cannot remain fresh, although there is one way out. That is, keep it in honey, then it won't spoil. The honey should be love of God, love of the Master. That way, we can remain safe, quite fresh, otherwise not. The Masters have given so many examples to bring home these things, but we simply read through and go on in our old ways. We should understand what they are telling us and we should have that very thing in our own lives. If two glasses are carried together, one or both may break. Similarly, by touch you will have the same radiation as the other man. Unless you become self centred, you cannot avoid the influence of others. We have to learn swimming in water, not on dry land. We are to be in the world yet out of it, and to achieve success in this way, we have to be self centred. You follow my point? The company of a person who is self centred will give you the radiation of His life. Maulana Rumi says, "If you have the company of a Saint (Saints referred to in the Scriptures are meant here, not the so-called masters with whom the world is flooded today), and if you sit by Him for an hour, you will have His radiation. You will have more advancement and progress this way than by putting in hundreds of years of devotion". Once you sit by a fire, all cold will go. When you sit by a snowy mountain, naturally you will have cold. So the society or the company of the Saints gives wonderful things. If flowers are left in a room, the whole room will be full of perfume. If you keep them in your clothes, they too will be full of perfume. If you keep them in water , the water will become perfumed. Similarly, when a man who is self centred is there, the very atmosphere becomes charged. In that atmosphere, you can have very easily a clear-cut understanding of things and also more progress. The radiations in the atmosphere around Him will become embedded in you. People will run from hundreds and thousands of miles to have the company of a Saint. When we come to Him, what do we do? We do not derive the full benefit of His company. Why? Because our whole attention is not riveted into the Master. If you go to the Master and just wonder about what He eats or what He drinks, you will not be able to benefit fully from His radiation. When you are at the feet of the Master, you should strike up no friendship with anybody, your whole friendship should simply be for the Master. Your whole attention should be on Him all through. What does He say? Does He ask you to leave the world and go to the desert places? Not the least. He asks us to live in the word but to be self centred. God has united you, some as brothers, some as sisters, mothers or fathers. It is God who has united you and you should behave in the proper way as a matter of devotion to Him. Because God has done this and because you love God, then pay off fully, as best as you can. But all the same, you should be detached while doing this, just like a nurse who looks after somebody else's child. She nurses it of course, but with all that she knows at the heart of hearts that it is not her child. She only does it for the sake of earning a living. Similarly, we should be in the world, pay off our debts, love those with whom our debts lie because God has united us, but all the same remain in air conditioned rooms. They will only be air conditioned if we become self centred. These things are not given direct in the books. Those who have got practical experience know where the shoe pinches. With all our efforts to be chaste, to wish to be chaste, still we are not chaste. Chastity in mind, word and deed, the whole thing depends on the soul's attention. If you make your attention self centred, then who can affect you? You will have become air conditioned. These are practical things pointed out to you. Keep notes of what has been said. If you read through all the scriptures, you will not find it said so directly. The main thing to save you is, "Don't look into the eyes of others". Look only into the eyes of one who is self centred. Don't touch anybody and you will be saved. If you are self centred, you won't be influenced by others. If not, you will be influenced by everybody. Beware, if you can't get the company of a competent Master, then remain all alone. Pay off your debts because God has united you. Love the people because they are children of God. For the sake of the love of God, we should love everybody. For that you have not to leave the world and go to the deserted places. You have to learn swimming while in water. You follow my point, a very important point? Just grasp what has been said and try to put in more time to your meditations. In this way only will you become self centred.

1967-10-30, Delhi, Sawan Ashram Talk available asmp3 at audio.sant-kirpal-singh.org Upravo sam govorio o čistoći, koja je najvažniji dio spiritualnog života. Spiritualnost se ne može razviti u umu koji je preko vanjskih osjetila odvučen, odnosno privučen vanjskim zadovoljstvima. Od pet vanjskih osjetila – vida, sluha, njuha, osjetila dodira i okusa, tri su najmoćnija. Požuda nas napada osamdeset posto preko očiju, četrnaest posto preko ušiju i preostalih šest posto uglavnom preko dodira. Pitanje je kako da ostanemo čisti. Jednostavno biste morali kontrolirati vašu pažnju. Um i vanjska osjetiladobivaju snagu od duše, a vanjski izražaj dušeje pažnja. Dakle, ako je naša pažnja smještena u središtu duše u tijelu i mi na najbolji mogući način koristimo vanjska osjetila, tada ono što vidimo ili čujemo neće utjecati na nas. Možete gledati u nekoga, ali to ne trebate činiti s potpunom pažnjom, čak i ako imate otvorene oči. Netko vam može nadugopričati o jako lošim stvarima. Ako kontrolirate vašu pažnju, to nećete čuti, iako su vam uši otvorene. Mi primamo utiske izvana i od tamo gdje je naša pažnja; na nas utječe zračenje onih ljudi s kojima dolazimo u kontakt. Ako su oni čisti, to je uredu. Ako ne, primiti ćete njihovo zračenje. Pitanje je, rekao bih, kako se zaštititi od vanjskih utjecaja, kako postati "klimatiziran"? Ako je vani vruće, što trebamo učiniti? Trebamo se rashladiti. Ako postanete usredotočeni u sebi, tako da svu vašu pažnju povučete od svegavanjskog, od vašeg tijela, što tada? Ako želite koristiti vaše oči, to možete kad god želite. Ako budete usredotočeni, niti jedno od drugih vanjskih osjetila neće utjecati na vas. Ali, budući da smo predani vanjskim vezanostima, prirodno je da ćemo primati vanjske utiske. Čistoća je tlo na kojem se očituje Bog. Zato je Krist rekao: "Blagoslovljeni su oni koji su čistog srca, jer će vidjeti Boga". Buddha, Krist i ostali sveci i učitelji su, svaki na svoj način, iznosili tuistinu. Svi su onigovorili: "Morate biti čisti u srcu." Čovjek govori ono što je u njegovom srcu. Vi govorite ono što je već u vama. Ako imate čiste misli, tada ste čisti. Tada će sve ono što riječima ili zračenjem izlazi iz vas, imati isto djelovanje. Što god govorimo, što god zračimo, nosi utisak onoga što je u nama. Zbog toga se kaže: "Čovjek govori ono što ispunjava njegovo srce." Svi kažu: "Budite čisti, držite se celibata." Koje je jedino mjerilo i pravi lijek za to? Biti usredotočen u sebe. Mi smo ti koji dajemo snagu umu. Mi smo ti koji dajemo snagu vanjskim osjetilima. Mi smo ti koji izvana vidimo dobro ili loše. Ako postanemo usredotočeni moći ćemo najbolje iskoristiti naša vanjska osjetila, onako kako želimo. Trenutno nas osjetila odvlačevanjskim stvarima koje nas neodoljivo privlače. Ako ste usredotočeni i netko vas dodirne, to neće utjecati na vas. Biti ćete "klimatizirani". No ako dodirnete one koji nisu "klimatizirani", to će navas imati utjecaja. Iz tog razloga su svi Učitelji naglašavali: "Ne dodirujte nikoga - ne gledajte drugima u oči." To su vanjske mjere opreza koje će vas spasiti. To je kao kod rušenja stabla – najprije se odsjeku grane, tako da je lakše prepiliti deblo. Te mjere opreza su tu samo da bi se odrezale grane. Cijela stvar ovisi o vašoj usredotočenosti, o usredotočenosti vaše pažnje u vama. Vanjski izražaj duše zove se pažnja ili "surat". Ako postanete usredotočeni u sebi, moći ćete koristiti bilo koje od vaših vanjskih osjetila po vlastitoj volji i kad god to želite. Sada to ne možemo učiniti. Sve nas neodoljivo privlači. Vi ste u svijetu i svakoga vidite. Jedina mjera opreza je da ne gledate drugima u oči i biti ćete spašeni. No ipak, glavni lijek, ono što nam zaista pomaže, jest da budemo "klimatizirani". Tada možete doći u dodir sa bilo kime, poput čovjeka koji živi među zmijama, ali kojeg štiti neka čarobna melodija i zmije ga nikada ne ugrizu. Razumijete li što želim reći, što vam želim predočiti? Dakle, najvažnije je biti usredotočen. To će doći s vremenom, redovitim posvećivanjem vremena vašim spiritualnim vježbama. Kad se duša uzdigne, odvojiti ćete se od svega vanjskog. Kada intenzivno gledate u unutarnje Svjetlo, odvojeni ste od tijela i vanjskih osjetila. Liječnik koji je redovito pregledavao mog Učitelja jednom mu je rekao: "Kažete da ste se povukli iz tijela. Možete li to dokazati?" "U redu" rekao je Učitelj: "Pregledajte me ako želite" i On je postao usredotočen u sebi. Liječnik je jedva pronašao znakove života u Njegovom tijelu. Čak mu je i cirkulacija postala vrlo spora. Pažnja je ta koja daje život tijelu. To smo zaboravili. Zaokupljeni smo vanjskim aktivnostima koje uključuju korištenje vanjskih osjetila. To možete činiti stotinama godina. To mogu biti ili dobra ili loša djela, a imati će odgovarajuće posljedice. No ako ne postanete usredotočeni u sebi, ponovno vam kažem, ne možete biti spašeni od vanjskih vezanosti. Stoga, najbolji način da postanete čisti jest da budete usredotočeni. Vaše oči ili druga vanjska osjetila koristite samo onda kad vi to želite, inače ne. Onaj čovjek koji je potpuno usredotočen u sebi naziva se svecem, rekao bih. On dolazi u kontakt s vama i ponekad vas potapša po ramenu ili vas pogleda s puno ljubavi. To ne znači da ste vi utjecali na Njega. On utječe na druge, jer je On kompetentan. No na nas utječu drugi, to je žalosno. Jako je velika razlika između utjecaja Sveca i utjecaja drugih ljudi. Vi doduše možete reći da On sjedi s nama. Ponekad On s nama veselo priča. Mislite li zaista da ste ga vi privukli? Ne, ni najmanje. On sjedi s nama, priča s nama samo da bi privukao nas i druge da dođemo na pravi put. Dakle velika je razlika između čovjeka koji je usredotočen u sebi, a došao je isključivo pomoći drugima da postanu usredotočeni, i onoga koji još nije postao usredotočen. Za to treba vremena, naravno. Rim nije bio izgrađen u jednom danu. Svaki Svetac ima svoju prošlost i svaki grešnik svoju budućnost. To su stvari koje trebamo shvatiti i iskoristiti na najbolji mogući način. Budite usredotočeni i za to morate biti redoviti u vašim vježbama. Budite u svakom trenutku vašeg života usredotočeni pažnjom u vama. Ovu tajnu naučio sam iz Napoleonovog života. Pročitao sam više od tri stotine knjiga o životu Svetaca i drugih velikih ljudi. Napoleon je bio vrlo usredotočen, kažem vam. U dva sata ujutro pisao je koncept za osnovnu školu. Poznato je da je na dan bitke kod Waterlooa, ujutro oko osam sati, šetao u vrtu. Jedan od njegovih ministara upitao ga je: "Što to radite? Bitkapočinje u devet sati." "O, to je u devet, sadje osam sati." odgovorio je Napoleon. Vidite li kako je bio usredotočen u sebi? Pročitao sam biografije mnogih Svetaca. Iz života svakog čovjeka možemo nešto naučiti. Čovjek ne postaje veliktako da nešto nauči glavom. Velikim ga čini ono što je ostvario u svomživotu. Razumijete li sad što želim reći? Svatko naglašava važnost čistoće, ali još uvijek nismo čisti. Razlog tome je zatrovana atmosfera. Ljudi koje dodirujemo su zatrovani. Zato je bolje da budete u društvu dobrog, usredotočenog čovjeka. Inače je bolje živjeti sam. Te stvari spominju se u knjigama, ali ne objašnjavaju se tako jasno i konkretno kao što upravo činim. Želite biti čisti – u redu, tada budite usredotočeni u sebi. Dnevnici će vam pomoći, kao kada se sjeku grane drveta. Kad je plod otkinut od drveta, ne može ostati svjež. On ostaje tako dugo svjež dok ga ne dodirne ljudska ruka. Ako ga ona dodirne, ne može ostati svjež. No ipak postoji jedno rješenje, ato je da ga stavite u med, tada se neće pokvariti. Med bi trebao biti ljubav prema Bogu, ljubav prema Učitelju. Jedino na taj način možemo biti sigurni i ostati potpuno svježi,inače ne. Učitelji su nam dali toliko mnogo primjera da bi nam približili ove stvari, ali mi samo čitamo o tome i nastavljamo s našim starim navikama. Trebali bismo razumjeti što nam oni govore i zatim to ostvariti u vlastitom životu. Ako se dvije čaše zajedno prenose, jedna ili obje se mogu razbiti. Slično tome, dodirom ćete dobiti ono zračenje koje ima čovjek kojeg ste dodirnuli. Ako ne postanete usredotočeni, nećete moći izbjeći utjecaju drugih ljudi. Mi moramo naučiti plivati u vodi, a ne na suhom.Trebamo biti u svijetu, a opet izvan njega, i da bismo u tome uspjeli, moramo biti usredotočeni u sebi. Razumijete li što želim reći? Društvo s osobom koja je usredotočena u sebi dati će vam zračenje Njegovog života. Maulana Rumi kaže: "Ako ste u društvu Sveca (odnosi se na Svece o kojima se govori u svetim knjigama, ne na takozvane učitelje kojima je preplavljen današnji svijet) i ako sjedite kraj Njega jedan sat, primiti ćete Njegovo zračenje. Na ovaj način mnogo ćete više napredovati i razviti senego ako stotinu godina meditirate." Kad jednom sjednete kraj vatre, sva će hladnoća nestati. Kad sjedite uz snježnu planinu, naravno da će vam biti hladno. Dakle, društvo ili prisutnost Svetaca daju nam prekrasne stvari. Ako se u sobi nalazi cvijeće, cijela će soba biti ispunjena mirisom. Ako ga držite u vašoj odjeći i ona će biti puna mirisa. Ako ga držite u vodi, ona će postati mirisna. Na sličan način,tamo gdje je prisutan čovjekkoji je usredotočen u sebi, atmosfera je ispunjena zračenjem. U toj atmosferi vrlo lako možete jasno razumijeti stvari i još više napredovati. Zračenje iz atmosfere oko Njega doprijet će do vas. Ljudi prelaze stotine i tisuće kilometara da bi bili u društvu Sveca. Kada dođemo k Njemu, što mi radimo? Ne dobivamo potpunu korist od Njegovog društva. Zašto? Zato što nismo potpunu pažnju usredotočili prema Učitelju. Ako idete k Učitelju i samo se pitate što On jede ili što On pije, nećete biti u stanju dobiti potpunu korist od Njegovog zračenja. Kad ste uz stopala Učitelja, ne biste trebalini s kim drugim sklapati prijateljstva. Cijelo vaše prijateljstvotrebali biste jednostavno poklonitiUčitelju. Cijelu vašu pažnju biste trebali u potpunosti usmjeriti prema Njemu. Što On govori? Traži li od vas da ostavite svijet i odete u osamu? Ni najmanje. On traži od nas da živimo u svijetu, ali da budemo usredotočeni u sebi. Bog vas je povezao, neke kao braću, neke kao sestre, majke ili očeve. Bog je taj koji vas je povezao i trebate se ispravno ponašati iz predanosti prema Njemu. Zato jer je to Bog učinio i jer ga volite, dokrajaotplatite sve dugove, najbolje što možete. Ali ipak, budite nevezani dok to radite, poput dadilje koja pazi na nečije dijete. Ona ga njeguje, naravno, ali u dubini srca zna da ono nije njezino vlastito dijete. Ona to radi da bi zaradila za život. Na sličan način i mi trebamo biti u svijetu, otplatiti naše dugove, voljeti one s kojima imamo dugove, jer nas je Bog povezao. No pritom ostanite iznutra "klimatizirani". To će biti moguće samo ako postanemo usredotočeni u sebi. U knjigama se ne govori tako direktno o tim stvarima. Oni koji su dobili praktično iskustvo znaju gdje je problem. Uza sve naše napore da budemo čisti, sa željom da budemo čisti, ipak nismo čisti. Čistoća u umu,riječima i djelima, cijela stvar ovisi o pažnji duše. Ako vašu pažnju usredotočite u sebi, tko onda može utjecati na vas? Postat ćete "klimatizirani". To su praktične stvari na koje vam ukazujem. Zapamtite ono što vam je rečeno. Ako pročitate sve svete knjige, vidjet ćete da to nigdje nije tako direktno napisano. Glavna stvar koja će vas spasiti je: "Ne gledajte drugima u oči." Gledajte samo u oči onoga koji je usredotočen u sebi.Ne dodirujte nikoga i bit ćete spašeni. Ako ste usredotočeni u sebi, nitko drugi neće utjecati na vas. Ako niste, svi će utjecati na vas. Budite oprezni – ako ne možete biti u društvu kompetentnog Učitelja, radije ostanitesami. Otplatite sve vaše dugove zato jer vas je Bog povezao. Volite ljude jer su oni djeca Božja. Zbog ljubavi prema Bogu trebamo voljeti svakoga. Ne morate ostaviti svijet i otići u osamu. Trebate naučiti plivati dok ste u vodi. Razumijete li ovu vrlo važnu stvar? Samo shvatite što vam je rečeno i nastojte uložiti što više vremena u vaše meditacije. Samo na taj način postati ćete usredotočeni u sebi.
