Swamiji, so you feel that simply by witnessing our breath, we can achieve Bliss?

Yes. It is a very powerful technique. You see, when you watch your breath, your awareness is intense and no thought can escape you unconsciously. When every thought starts passing through your awareness, you will automatically not create negative thoughts for yourself.

You don"t have to spend any time in correcting your thoughts; the awareness will do it for you. Your thinking system will automatically get restructured. The power of awareness is such that it transforms your thinking system to positive Energy.

Actually if you see, we have been trained to think that only if we work and experience pain in some form, we are worthy of happiness. So we run till we get pain; we run till we hit the fence. We are so used to the concept of a fence that even if we are told that there is no fence, no boundary, we are not ready to believe it. We run and somehow hit a fence and feel pain; then we stop, satisfied in having felt pain. We then feel our desires can be worked out. We always feel that we have to go through anxiety and worry in order to be worthy of being showered. We are in eternal preparation for worry and pain.

And then there are some people: They create worries for themselves and then drink to forget the worries! A very common thing today. It is something like this: A pig is not able to bear the smell and slush of its own habitat and so plunges its nose inside it. You think you have beaten all your worries by drinking, when in reality you have actually plunged headlong into more of it.
