5 PREREQUISITES & 21 CONDITIONS FOR

AWAKENING
5 Prerequisites

Contemplation on Oneness Teachings

To spend time each day contemplating on Oneness Teachings. (Especially the webcast
teachings on awakening each week.)

Become aware of self-centeredness

The self cannot dissolve without seeing and discovering that it is by its very nature self
centered. All that is needed is to just become aware of your self-centeredness in each action
throughout the day. There is no need to attempt to be non self centered.

Sat Karma
To do as many good deeds to make maximum number of people happy. To help out animals,
humans and nature. To truly benefit, you have to have feeling and passion to help, it cannot
just be a physical act.

True Listening
When listening to the other you are paying attention to what is happening within you without
judgment. As you are listening, you will feel a want or need, this is what the other person is
wanting or needing. True compassion naturally arises from doing this because you experience
yourself as the other, their need is now your need.

Oneness
To contemplate and realize the fact that you cannot exist as a separate entity, all life supports
each other, everything is dependent on each other. You are one with it all. YOU ARE THERE
BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING ELSE.

Awakening is to be free of the mind

These 21 points are like ropes holding up the mind. As long as the self is in tact, you are lacking
all 21 conditions. As you become aware of each point, the ropes are being cut, making the self
dissolve quickly. Because they are conditions of the mind, there is nothing you can do to change
them. You must pray for the grace to see what you truly are, see that you do not have these qualities,
practice them externally in daily life and ask Sri AmmaBhagavan to give them to you.
For all 21 points there are 3 ways to help you grow.

1. Practice these conditions externally in your daily life where ever possible.
2. Become aware that you do not have these qualities. Only then is there a possibility of
getting them.
3. Pray and ask AmmaBhagavan / Your Divine to give you these qualities. (Prayer would be
answered only when you have a bond with the Divine. When you have a bond you can say,
"I want this state please give it to me." and it will be given.)
The 21 Conditions
1. Lack of Passion
There is a difference between passion and desire: A desire can be dropped, but passion cannot. You
live to have a passion realized. You cannot get rid of a passion,no matter how hard you try. Your
focus is like an arrow. Desire can turn into passion if you know the gravity and need for it. To have
passion for awakening, you must first understand that you are suffering.

1. Lack of Passion

Difference between passion and desire: A desire can be dropped. But passion cannot. You live
to have this.

Desire can turn into passion if you know the gravity and need for it.

To have passion for awakening, you must first understand that you are suffering.

You must understand

You are suffering if there is a sense of 'me' and anything that is 'not
me'.
The three types of suffering are:
1. Physical - When needs of the body are not met, you will have physical suffering. (food, clothing,
shelter, disease)

2. Psychological - As long as you have the mind, you will have psychological suffering. Nature of
psychological suffering is not bad or wrong. In psychological suffering you suffer but think the other
causes it. The mind is never satisfied. When any of the 6 needs of the mind are denied you will have
psychological suffering.
Needs of the Mind:

Certainty

Variety

Significance

Need to be loved, to love

Growth

Contribution

Are you seeking awakening to escape these needs? If there is a mind these needs apply. These 6
Roots can be managed.
3. Spiritual Suffering - Absolute Disconnection - To exist is suffering. Suffering without any reason.
The sense of separation is this suffering. All suffering is only coming from spiritual suffering. It's an
alienation between man and man, man and himself, man and God.
The equation for suffering is: Spiritual + psychological + physical = constant
Suffering in you is a constant. There is a built in mechanism, when any one type of suffering
becomes unbearable it becomes another type of suffering. Physical is the least difficult to experience.
Existential tries to translate into Psychological and Physical because it is so hard to experience
existential suffering. A person will hurt them self when psychological suffering is too much because
physical suffering is easier to experience. All physical and psychological suffering is a creation of
our own mind unable to experience existential suffering.
The constant is dependent on the amount of separation one experiences in their life at any given time.
The constant depends on the alienation one is having with man or God. As you become closer to God
the constant reduces. Awakening is to bring that constant to zero. With Awakening there is no more
personal suffering. When separation is gone, there is No existential suffering.
When we feel separate again, the moment alienation occurs, existential suffering begins and =>
physical and psychological suffering. Be Authentic - When you see you dont have feeling to
Awaken only desperation to get out of suffering, be honest => Passion

Become aware how you lack passion

2. Lack of Forgiveness Most of us lack forgiveness. We hold back some hurt because of the mind.
Holding back hurt in you is a real torture. Waiting for someone outside to change, only tightens the
ropes. When you cut the rope and let go of the hurt, that part of the mind collapses. Discover
forgiveness. One part is to forgive others, the other part is to forgive yourself. See how you are
unable to forgive others who have caused you hurt. Forgiveness is very important quality to develop.
By being hurt you are torturing yourself. Holding hurt is a torture. See how it is a torture to yourself.
Become aware of the lack of forgiveness. Pray to Amma and Bhagavan asking them to help you to
forgive.
3. Lack of Seeking Forgiveness You are not seeking forgiveness from others. Many occasions you
have hurt others. Some times you are unaware but even when you are aware that you hurt another,
you explain why and do not ask for forgiveness. You are trying to justify your point. Become aware
how you lack seeking forgiveness.
4. Lack of Sensitivity Because of the chatter of the mind the senses are not able to experience
anything. We are all the time thinking about ourselves and we are not sensitive to other peoples
feeling and priority. Become aware of your insensitivity. Be aware of your body and senses. Mind
chatter stops awareness.
Hatha Yoga helps develop full physical awareness. Practice 7 minutes of awareness (teeth brushing,
walking...) sadanas to help increase awareness. Become aware of how you affect others. Senses must
be sharp to experience reality as it is. Lack of sensitivity brings out unwanted chatter of the past. Pray
and ask for sensitivity.
5. Lack of Relationships Whenever you are relating to people , things and subjects in life all is well
as long as it is pleasant. Whenever things become unpleasant you shut down that relationship. You
slowly becoming dead to relationships. This can be called non-relationship. Become aware of your
lack of relationship. How closed down are you to experiencing in life? When do you close down?
Where do you close down? Who do you embrace? Who do You avoid? Look at Comparison,
competition, Judgement. How do you relate to life?
6. Lack of Inner Integrity Learn to be honest to yourself. Lying to others is not such a big deal, but
the moment you lie outside, you begin to lie to yourself inside to prove that you did not lie. One lie
outside is a thousand lies to ones self. The lies you have spoken to yourself moved you away from
your authentic self. Become aware of lack of inner integrity. You MUST have inner integrity to
know God. Cant forgive self if you lie to self - cant become aware of the roll being played by the
mind when you continue to lie to yourself. Tell lies outside and you can forget it. Know you spoke a
lie and that is all. Speak a lie outside without inner integrity and the mind makes a net of lies to
convince self inside. Tell 1000 inner lies to overcome the outer lie. This forms a thick layer between
you and God => increased separation and suffering. It is okay to speak a lie outside but dont
convince self by telling lies. Become aware of thoughts and feelings inside - Do not cover that up.
There is no need to cover it up. Become aware of your truth inside. Practice inner integrity and see
the truth inside => integral inside=> outer integrity. If there is inner integrity and you are connected
with Divine you may not need to lie outside. Be aware you dont have inner integrity, pray and ask
for it.

7. Life Review See how self righteousness hurt others. Create a roadmap of your life, situations
and people. Ask Sri AB to take you through it. Experience every situation 100%. Remember it
through all eyes involved. Start seeing how you hurt others. If a person cannot see their faults in life,
and how they affected others, it is very difficult to grow. So review your life.
8. Confronting Fear Trauma not fully experience lodges in cellular memory - any situation that
resembles that trauma => fear. Let life present everything to you. Stay with sensations - dont buy
into the story. Ask to stay with the sensation fully.
There are 2 kinds of fear:

Biological - this is an inbuilt mechanism of the body to protect you and you dont need to do
anything about it.

Psychological fear 4 kinds fear of failure, rejection, future, unknown - confront it!

9. Lack of Acceptance See that you are unable to accept yourself. You always find somebody
responsible for your suffering. Turn inward and see who you are and accept that. Then you will be at
peace with everything. Accept your role in society or the system, however small it could be, however
insignificant it could be. See that you look at others and judge their roles and experience against
yours. There is constant comparison to the other. See how you cant accept yourself.
10. Craving for significance One of the greatest obstacles to spiritual growth is the craving for
significance. It is the nature of the self to crave for importance in all things. Become aware of the
craving for significance. Craving is there due to separation - the mind. Keep seeing your need for
significance - put in effort to improve your condition. See your craving, become Aware and it
decreases. Ask for grace to make you see.
11. Lack of Humility Become aware of the lack of humility you have in your life. To realize that in
life, you are the part of the whole and are very insignificant, would help you to grow. Most
people feel as though they understand everything. Humility is necessary for awakening, for
awakening is something you receive; not achieve. Become aware of lack of humility.
12. Lack of Sacredness Modern civilization thinks it can understand and explain everything. In
trying to understand and explain it one looses the sense of mystery in everything. Losing the mystery
we loose the feeling of sacredness. Humanitys explanation has killed the mystery and sacredness of
life. The All That Is can never be understood. God is unknowable. When you can realize this, you
start feeling sacred towards the Divine and all of life. It gives you the unexpected. The greatest
knowing is that you truly can never know anything. Become aware of lack of sacredness. When you
start to see that everything is unknowable, you develop sacredness toward everything. Sacredness
comes when you know it is unknowable. Become aware that you are not sacred toward things. Pray
and ask for sacredness.

13. Lack of Seeing Divine Hand in Life Becomes aware of how there is a Divine hand in your life.
Divine is the eye behind everything. See how the Divine has been with you throughout your entire
life. There was never a moment when Divine was not with you.
14. Lack of Strong Bond with AmmaBhagavan Amma Bhagavan have come for the purpose of
Awakening - Their greatest joy is seeing the process initiated. They specialize in Liberation-Mukthi.
They have been preparing and working for man for over 862 years. It seems relevant to ask them for
help. You need a bond with someone - a relationship that has life in it when you ask. Do not disturb
your faith or culture. All That Is flows through everything. You can relate to your God as father,
mother, friend, teacher, whatever is dear to you. When you relate in that way it is possible for them to
relate back. Having a personal bond with your Divine is turning on the switch. Having a bond with
SriAmmaBhagavan does not mean giving up your God. They put you in touch with your God, then
you can ask your God who Sri AB are. It is a personal discovery. They are capable of giving
Awakening. If you need the bond to grow stronger, faster, recall all the good you have received in our
life. Be aware you dont have a bond and ask SriAmmaBhagavan to help. The Bond is not giving up
anything. God says, I will come in the way you want or the way I want. No different than any
form. God is One, in all forms.
Bond with this aspect of Light. All that is- Divine Phenomena. The stronger the connection and
Bond the more the Divine Grace of this Phenomenon would pour through a person. Friends. See
them a Avatars, Divine Beings and a lot more can occur. If you see them as All That Is the
experience is intense. The phenomenon takes the body. To establish a personal bond with
AmmaBhagavan. To get in touch with the Divine Phenomenon of awakening that AmmaBhagavan
are brining into this planet one would have to feel connected to AmmaBhagavan. The stronger the
Bond the more the Divine Grace you experience. When you have Bond things will happen faster. Do
you have a strong bond? Become aware of your lack of a Bond.
15. Lack of Faith Become aware of the lack of faith you have towards the process and
AmmaBhagavan. See how the mind tells various stories of how awakening cannot, or will not
happen to you. Realize that it is happening all around the planet to thousands of people, and will
happen to you. Become aware of your lack of faith. In the past the Earth energies were not right for
massive human awakening. Kalki Avatar is 70,000 beings with consciousness to awaken.
16. Lack of Surrender See the condition of the mind and become helpless. Know you cannot do
anything to get there, and you need the Divine to help you. Surrender is to realize that there is
nothing more you can do about it. When you are helpless the divine will help you. If you are
desperate you are lost. Desperate is different than Helpless. See you are helpless. Become aware of
lack of surrender.
17. Lack of Gratitude (quality ) We take life for granted and see it as responsibility and duty.
Become aware of your lack of gratitude. We are constantly trying to become. We are not aware of the
perfection in all things and the abundance life is giving us. We do not have gratitude when we want
things to be different than they are ~ and we do. When you become Aware that you are ungrateful,
gratitude will increase. Pray and ask Amma Bhagavan to give you gratitude.
18. Lack of Seva (service) Spend time helping others. The greatest seva is helping in others'
awakening. Become aware that you dont make use of opportunities to do seva. You reap what you

sew many times. All life is controlled by the deeds you do. Helping people get awakened is the
solution to ALL problems. When the veil of suffering is pulled down people will love to live.
19. Lack of Compassion See how you lack compassion. When you are focused to achieve
something without distraction for yourself, that is passion. If you have the same passion to fulfill
another persons desire, that is compassion.
20. Lack of Praising the Divine or AmmaBhagavan Every scripture speaks about praising the
Divine. When you praise Divine you will receive an abundance of Grace. Praising the Divine, Grace
will come to you, the process will initiate. Divine needs and wants you.
21. Lack Formal Gratitude to the Divine Spend time in contemplation and see what Divine does
for you each day. Outside of the rational mind, everything is a miracle. When a piece of the whole
helps the whole the whole appreciates and gives back to the piece.
It is true at a deeper level you cannot do anything, but in the physical plane you are living with the
Divine, so express your gratitude formally. By doing this you are binding the Divine to you and It is
compelled to do a favor for you. Your personal relationship grows.
