Scientifically we have to understand that we have not got answers to many questions. That means there is not sufficient light in our knowledge. If you are coming in this room in darkness you might find a mic, you might find a table, you might find something. This becomes the truth. Because the eyes are not yet opened or the light is not there. But supposing by any chance, somebody can open the light, you can see all the things. ….
Now this light is nothing but your ʻautoʼ. Which you talk of as “Autonomous Nervous System”. You just give the name, Auto. Now, who is auto? We accept it. When we get the names, we just accept the name, we never ask why it is called auto. Because it is “swayamchalit” (which runs by itself). Who is the swayam? Who is the “sw” is the spirit. In a way, we have accepted because we have to fix somebody as auto otherwise we don’t know what to do. I mean, we see parasympathetic working, sympathetic working so we have to fix up somebody as a person behind the two. But that ʻautoʼ is the spirit, is the “atma”, we do not want to accept. Alright. We will call it ʻautoʼ if you don’t like it. For the scientist, if they don’t like it we will call it auto only. So this Mr. auto, is the atma according to Sahaja Yoga. We call it atma, you call it ʻautoʼ. That’s the only difference of names. Now this auto exists within us. But this auto is not in our central nervous system. That is true. Because we can not control our parasympathetic. We may be able to excite our sympathetic but not the parasympathetic, that’s the fact. Sympathetic, if we excite it, we can work out. But parasympathetic we can not work out. It works automatically. So somehow or other, if you can bring that ʻautoʼ in your attention or in your central nervous system then you can manage the show better. Scientifically. I am just going scientifically. Now, how to bring this auto in your attention? How to control this auto? Is the problem. You can not do through science. You can not do through medical science. Through any science you can not do. Because this will only happen when you will evolve to another stage. And science can not bring in evolution. Can it? It can not give you wisdom and it can not give you evolution. Evolution it can not give. Why? It can not even create life, I would say. So this auto, to be in your central nervous system we should look inside ourselves. …It is your inheritance which is lost. But one must know that when the tree grows too high it must have roots. And that is how, whatever they are saying about me – I am the tap root, I must say, who has done the seeking inside perhaps or I have reached at the source and that’s how I know what is the root.
