Transcript

Hello and welcome back to a better world. This is your host Mitchell J Raven and we're very glad you're joining us again today. Today we're going to have another very interesting show. We have with us a very popular Guru. The author of this book Shri Shiva The one minute guide to prosperity and Enlightenment. So you probably never thought that you would be able to come to terms with Enlightenment and prosperity in one minute. What will learn a little bit about how that might be able to

be done. And more than anything, we're going to have a chance to learn something of the teachings and wisdom of Sri Siva who has been around for a number of years. It's got a very interesting background that actually goes into the academic world. Old where he was a PhD in Psychology in literature and he is also well known for being the guru to Wayne Dyer and helping them out through a very interesting period of time and inspiring him greatly number of

years ago. So with the welcome you to the show a pleasure to have you. Seal it busy now isn't it interesting that you come out of a tradition that has been sort of like a cooked and simmered for many thousands of years and yet you come to write a book called the one minute guide to Prosperity Enlightenment. Could you explain Well the question that people ask I have been living in the West 20 years

or more. You were, as I mentioned, a professor at University of time just came here to do my PhD in religion. And then I stayed here and I thought and then I wait and then I started teaching meditation. To answer your question. The question that people ask in the west, I go all over the world. Yes, in Europe as well. Why you guys gurus go around way when you cannot fix your own country? If this meditation to whom work in India, And that is a very

valid question. Sexual country meaning because India is so poor right Mark? And something from the infrastructure point of view. It's a yeah shambles, right? Let's see. The Important thing about spirituality is that being spiritual doesn't mean being poor. God is Not poor. Okay? And this spiritual consciousness has killed India, too much of spirituality.

Has been the problem in, basically, you're saying because it's out of bounds because, yeah, without a violent relationship to Material World night, it's very important. Very, it is very important because India has failed all the world cultures availed materially because their focus has been only on the spirit, they are spiritual people. If you are concerned about Spirit then you become spiritual. If you concerned about material, then you become material is very simple show.

The Buddha's life. He was 100% spiritual. So he had to leave his wife, his son, everybody, his own father, his kingdom, and then he became spiritual okay, sir, I used to teach Buddhist Meditation or University of Pittsburgh at the end of the class, I would tell them this Buddha Buddha Concepts won't work for contemporary world. We don't want to bring in a civilization where emptiness is the Valerie. Okay, that is a spiritual

reality. If everybody wants to go to that kind of love, which is not going to happen. So Prosperity is very, very key to my teaching. That's what Wayne Dyer, like me so much. Because he said there is no use of blah blah lying from morning till evening. We're still people will be still lost. Just give them a very basic technique that can give them material consciousness. I'm here. Well, in the west.

Just as you were saying in the East or in India, India particularly it's a highly spiritual eyes country and that's what the focus their attention on. And this is what they got. Yeah. And the hardly have enough food to eat but they have, you know, higher levels of samadhi here. The samadhi is not that well known but material wealth is. So there's an obvious imbalance in each situation. And what you're suggesting is

that you're teaching. Yeah, is synthesizing the to Bring them together really, which is really where they belong. That's true. Yeah, that's true. So in other words prosperity and Enlightenment should go hand-in-hand. Yes. Because very many Yogi's say that mukti or Liberation is everything. Then you will become like a vegetable, like most of the guru's become vegetable. Like, do you want to create a

Divine coma? And that's not going to work, okay, that's not going to improve the economy, right? Right. You know, so you have to have a lot of you have to have a very balanced approach. Okay, yeah, in which, you know, the western civilization scientific civilization has contributed a lot. Yes. Okay. And then that has to be recognized and, and used and the East has developed spiritual science which is beyond the

mind. You can bring the values of the spiritual science to the material world. And Words that then there will be a balanced side. Exact. Otherwise you will be lopsided. The Buddha is lopsided, that's why he could not be comfortable living in a palace, okay? But he is model was like renounce the world and go. And then you know, when you are going to be hungry and the book that took to begging and created a monastic order, is that going to work today?

It's not going to work. Okay, so what are you going to do? You have to pay attention to the prosperity of living this life? And also not neglecting the other life there are certain thoughts in Buddhist psychology Buddhist teachings. That one of which says in at the end of a prayer, let me attain and I pray that you would tane everything that your heart desires. Mmm. So there is a notion of attracting, whatever your heart may desire.

The idea of detachments and all of that, while it is inherent in the Buddha's teachings, it's often, I think, seriously misunderstood, no, it's not true. Because the Buddha himself, the four noble truths, they start was life is suffering. Yeah, that's the first rule the land. The second truth is because of the desires than aha because he didn't want to use the Sanskrit, he used to Polly, would, you know, and then The truth is

emptiness. And another one, another one Nirvana is emptiness, and that I'm not arguing, that's the ultimate, but that is not practical. That's what I am saying, okay, right. You know, here's easy to become a Buddhist but difficult to become a Buddha. Okay. Same thing with efficient tries to it's very difficult to become a Christ. But become a Christian is easy, just sign on the dotted line, right? That's why. You know, I am a very, very

practical. Guru. Yes, no very practical down to the air. I hear the nice not going to work and I just talking philosophy, you know? And so tell me then on that practical note. Yeah inside. Yeah how do you according to your way? Yeah, attain prosperity and Enlightenment. Okay. In a minute. Yes. So yeah, in a minute. One minute you use nine sounds to go, you know, 9 sounds and then some sounds you use like 10 seconds in one minute.

Used a nine sounds. Okay. Okay. Ah, the sound are, but 10 seconds and who were ten psychosis vowels? Yeah, well, three bubbles we use, basically two of them. And then how does it work? I have proved coming from kids, using it in Toronto Canada. They use it only for 10 seconds. They have these are kids 78, year-old and their grades go and everything, you know, within one month of practice because they don't have the ego, they have all the candy.

Yeah, it's a long notion that he had to get you know sit in meditation for long hours to figure it out because the marriage Ism is done through the mind because it's difficult to kill the Mind understood. Okay? The mind is full of doubts and it is going to create all the. So all these meditations have to lead to a Timeless Zone, which is non mind. And there, even one minute is a long time. So, the Yogi's talk about period of time, call Alabang loving is 250th division of a second.

A second, is this and 250th say, Division is inconceivable, but that is the time taken to change everything in your life, okay? Provider if we can get to that state, okay? So it's the wrong notion that you should go and sit in meditation for a long time. These sounds are capable of bringing you that knowledge that can change the entire material, and spiritual structure. You give us. Could you demonstrate the The Sounds?

Now, is how Okay. Yeah, you use the sound you close your eyes and then use the sound are for 10 seconds of at the root chakra. And then you can see visualizing the, you don't, you just focus attention on the root chakra and then you go to the heart chakra and jail for 10 seconds. And then you go to the the throat chakra. Ah ma 5 seconds and then you go to the third eye chakra and say home for 10 seconds who this is a total of 35 seconds. For the first part of the one minute meditation.

The rest of the things is pipes. I'm now Ma shivaya again, you say them at the different chakras. 45, Seat. So total of nine sounds in one minute. That's a no, no, nothing. You don't even have to sit down even when you are having a shower. You can do that. The whole idea is It can edit any moment, the sounds are very, very powerful. Even one sound is enough, a sound with the, what is it

doing? The sound is, is God, you know, the even in the Bible, in the beginning, there was the word and the Word was with God and the sound. Ow is the sound is God, the sound? Are this imitation Sanskrit? Yeah, the word is really, what the sound is home. Yeah. Yeah the warmest. Sounds. Oh yeah, woman. Whoo, Mama right. Is 0 becomes home, the home is a leader. Derivative the first sound is ah and if you have the primordial sound that's the term meditation that I gave in dire.

No. Yes. Well I was traveling in California. This being appeared before me and said they don't blah blah and bark, like a dog. There is a simple technique to attract anything understand this.

You know, you create a baby, the same energy to create a you can when you can create a baby, take the same energy and create a house or a car or anything that you want and it is understanding the seminal energy that is at the root chakra, which you waste to procreate and then you can take that energy to the third eye chakra and and use it. So, and the sound of creation is, ah, When you create a baby, you are in ecstasy, how whether

you are white black, anybody is in the throes of joy and ecstasy and the Ecstasy is creation and that is, ah, so instead of wasting the energy at the bottom of the church, the Lord chakra, take it to the third eye chakra. And then there is a meditation where you do with which you can do anything that you want to do. Okay? So are you saying So I'm very familiar with the ideas of you taking. Yeah well you know because my background in taoism and Chinese

medicine. Yeah we talked about taking sexual cheat like and circulating it around. I think what you're saying to bring it up to the survey and then he what Ella? And then the mm and then impregnate the thought. With this energy that you raised from the 6th chakra and bring it to a third chakra, third eye chakra, that's the thought of fraud already or not, not a, not a higher house, whatever you want. Even Enlightenment, visualize, visualize any, what you want?

What do you want? And then that manifest. So this is the oh this is this is the core of what you're teaching, this is my teaching. This is the technique that Wayne Dyer Teaching and then I had given him permission to do that and I love million people are doing this now. Yeah. Yeah. They're pulling the Sexual Energy up. Yeah. Up the spine and down across the head to the third of the third eye, and then they ritualize, how's your home? You know, nothing, you know.

My Philosophy is, don't blah blah. If given a chance, I don't want to blah blah because even if it is a very sophisticated, Educated blah blah. Blah ultimately it's blah blah. So what has to happen is to give you a real technique? Yeah. That can you know at the end of the day, what matters is you need a home? You need a car or in a job or endured a television show, or whatever you need. Huh? And nothing needs to be created and this is the process. So there are some million plus

people across the world. Basically it's the efforts of Wayne Dyer. You know, yeah, they're here. We gon be everywhere on public television and doing it. And yes, and then he put out a book and dedicated the book, manifest your destiny, and it's based on this. Yeah. And based on this. Exactly. Yeah, we still have. So you, you have your destiny in control. No nobody else. So what are the results that you're seeing? SRI?

Siva from Mendoza, Turtles, like people will gossip what incident, you know, you can, I have Amanda did with people like at the bottom line and I broke a very broke and then they can, they want to have a Mercedes-Benz, they can hold the image in the third eye and impregnate the damage. So, they might end up with a Mercedes Benz, with no money to put gas on it. You know, that's why that Nanny. That's why I'm saying it could happen. That's why, you know, if he's here.

The Bill Gates is a College. Dropout, Larry Ellison is a College Dropout. Steve Jobs is a College Dropout. There are so many PhD guys who went to school with me? We are making $10 an hour. So sorry. Ah, what do you do? So, you know, mind has not got me. Anyway. Sure. Right, by Bill Gates always wanted even when he was a boy. I was should be a multi-billionaire. That's what it is. You know if you are worried about your basically saying is he kept feeding that image. Of course.

He kept in powers and energizing it that's what it is. And that like a fundamental principle like lecture like hundred Hilton when he was when he had no money, he did not think like where the gas money is going to come from. He wanted to buy the Waldorf Astoria own way. The Queen of England when he had no money for the next meal. He got the picture of all the overstory.

I must get it. I must get it, it took him seven years or so, to get it. But he meditated on it but before then he meditated he created about thousands of Hilton Hotels. So yes, only a commitment to what you want to get and not asking where the gas money is coming from. That's where the problem starts. So I understand how then I know it's a very it's a coherent principle from a daoist point of view. We have different other things to do. Yeah, you're not down. I rule out doubt.

If I want to manifest something, No matter what you are going to say, or somebody else is going to say, this is what it is. I want a wardrobe. Astoria, wonderful, group. Astoria Waldorf Astoria. That's the Hilton model. You know, then I recommended bug be my guest. He said, I wrote this book because I have been so poor and I could get to this level, come to my hotel, stay there, take this book free, and this is everyone should have a dream.

And then on this dream Manifest, this is a positive philosophy. Okay, fine. You know, being in a doubt means You know, being in Satan in to use a religious language because doubt is negativity or the bottom lash. Oh, okay. Understand the moment. You doubt it, you have lost it. How do you apply the same principle you made it? Clear about how to apply it for one's own Prosperity. How do you apply it?

Then, also, for enlightenment, that's a bit of a subtler than gaining Enlightenment is, I mean, how do you know, for instance, visualize Enlightenment, right? What is enlightenment? You know, it seems to go back to the Buddhist idea of emptiness and yeah forms that that's not necessarily Enlightenment if you go to Babaji he wouldn't accept as a the Buddha's Enlightenment, as Enlightenment Enlightenment,

a decorative. Yeah, he would say, the ability to do everything is Enlightenment now, the ability to lose. Everything is Enlightenment losing your thought processes in Lightman, not Enlightenment. There are a lot of guys. Chanting mantras Rama Rama Shiva Shiva. And then And on the street, they are 55 years old. Because the guru's who came here they said, this is the best thing that can be done. And are now they are all 55 year old.

They are not, you know, nobody is willing to hire them henna. And are they have homeless? What are you going to do? So there are two things that I teach you got to be very careful about the material reality about the spiritual reality. So Enlightenment is not a losing process. Where you lose your thing, will you lose your ego? You lose your mind and then be on the street. That's not enlightenment. Okay, that's the wrong. Wrong concept of Enlightenment are losing.

Your thought process is not Enlightenment. So a lot of people say, I want mukti, the multi has been very big term these days is Liberation, what are you going to do? If you become thoughtless, then that's the Dave, coma condition, you have no interest in life. Then how how are things going to work in this life for you? Huh. I rested here. This wrong philosophy, you know, people have to take responsibility for What they are teaching.

And the people who go to people and this is a very good point. Yeah. They also are gonna my God, what's going to happen? At the end of the day, I had to pay for my gas. Okay, Circle. All somebody else has to pay, okay? For the gas, you can nobody is going to give free gas for an enlightened person, okay, so it's not a good idea to lose your ego is not a good idea to lose your thought process. It is good to understand your ego.

It's good. The stand, your thought process and Empower them, and give them a high self-esteem. That's basically my teaching I understand. Okay. There's one piece I still want to get though. Okay. Which is about, I'm going to translate what I've heard. Yeah, into a word. Yes. Which is balanced between the part. That's true. It's really balanced. Yeah, that's all about the book is about. Yeah, prosperity and Enlightenment.

I understand. Yeah. What I want to do is, uh, Understand how using your Technique. Yeah, Enlightenment is realized. And what is it that you mean by Enlightenment? I understand that you don't think. Yeah. I mean they Enlightenment is an ability to stay in a non ego, non mind state, which is the state of empowerment of being in a place to manifest, your thoughts to be able to do things that you want to do to help

others to be compassionate. Okay, and this is what in like Monday. Okay okay, okay, okay, that's good. No it brings a balanced. Yes. Yeah, our world sorely needs of Enlightenment is not running away from like, are always meditating all the time and Enlightenment means being in a very, very powerful intelligent level of existence, right? You know, in a non by Dottie goes, and then use that to you. Enrich life. Enhance life. Okay, so that there is not much suffering, that's to me.

It's a pleasure to have you on talking about this. Because for me, I spend a lot of time saying this to people. Yeah. And sometimes they think I'm, you know, you know what happened to people. Don't understand that you can't. You're supposed to be spiritual. Meaning a while Spirit to move you and to animate. Yeah, but also, We're living in a material world and it should

be appreciated and enjoyed. Yeah, completely, yeah, but I must I must tell you that I have not had much success with people because people always want a like I want to just go and spaced out I can't because it's easy to do that. I know. Okay I will go and hang out in

Sedona some sleep. All right, so I asked a person is what it is. You know how much you say they are going to again you know, just as lining up for a Broadway show you know, and crab borrowing money from credit card, you know, escapism example, going to a Broadway show is not different from this. Exactly, go into is good. That's right. It's in plus unit exactly. And when somebody goes to a guru it also means that they're not yeah cultivating their own shop team, that's there anyway, you

know? And that's not fair, either, definitely, you know, it's it's not that I'm not saying that you should not go to a guru, he can Empower you. But then there have been just a little place there is. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. You know, everything plays and everyone plays his or her role in the larger sphere. I mean, I always say to people, you know, either. Everything is God or nothing is God, take your choice and you can live from either space. Right? You know your opinion is valid.

Yeah, whatever it is. You can't make some things God like, like spirit and not Material World, right? It doesn't work. That's why I say that poverty is, is not Divinity. Poverty is not Divinity, and also money is not evil. Only misuse of money is evil. Exactly. Yeah, exactly. It's really true. Lack of money is evil.

You know, I think that there's validity to that because, you know, if you cannot contribute to society and we do that, often materially in some way, your then becoming a drain. As they say, you're either part of the solution or part of the problem, right? And if you cannot sustain, I mean, I look at things and anyway, from a sustainability all of it, and if you cannot self-sustained, no, it means. You're costing society and the Earth, right?

Money, a certain kind of currency whatever that currency, I agree. So people who are lowered, overly spiritual, they have been a boo resource. Maybe lived in a San Franciscan Monastery for a long time. In many lifetimes, spiritualizing, their Consciousness, rejecting wealth. They, you know, that's why it takes time. Then they will eventually come

back. That's the that's to me is Golden Age. Yes, yes, yes, yes, one, we have less than one minute left, but it only takes you a minute to answer a very Question. So karma, you know, everybody comes in with their own karmic picture, right? And are you saying also that through your? Yeah, practice no way. And that is a teaching, you know, the cartomizer goes that quickly.

Yeah, Karma. It takes thousands of years to develop and one minute to let go, no, there's another technique, the for karma bursting, okay. It's karma is here. Yes, in the throat. And they held in church on the throat chakra, it's called Adam's Apple. That's also karma in the Christian sense, okay? And then there is a particular meditation that I teach for karma.

You know, you just put a blue light and share this round 3 neela kantam and you look under and as you go on saying that then you blew karma is only certain in a vested interest in a thought or a relationship or her job, right? It has too much. Yeah, it has. Leave that place and then find another place to put your mind off shore. And that shift, she takes place when you do that another, that's not this meditate. That's another meditation is also in the book.

Okay morning. Well, it's been wonderful to have you on to talk about this. Let's show everybody the book again in one minute folks. We just heard how you can literally transform your life at and if you do it for a few minutes, I don't even want to think about it. Thanks again for being with us. Absolutely. Well, I hope you enjoyed that as much as I want and also that you got enriched as much as I do. So on that note this is not a raven.
