I Am Nothing, Appearing to Be Something, and Now Enjoying Both

[Music] you [Music] [Music] oh and namaste welcome everyone to satsang this morning here in Samar and of course big welcome to those of you around the world who are joining us live we're broadcasting a big welcome for everybody thank you very good Thank You Margie thank you know much do you namaste lately um lots of things are coming up it was arrogance also and then great fear and mine was really I'm trying to hold me back but the pull is so strong and I wrote a letter for you may I read it okay you have there yeah okay thank you dear Mooji B laughs Guruji dear Sangha this is a letter from my heart a poem of my soul a question inside thank you that you are here I love the love that you are I follow you for quite a while when my mind has gone for a walk you are with me you are the sun shining through the trees giving me warm and praise you are the wind whispering I am life in times that I forgot you are these moments when something opens up and magic happens you are everything nothing and even more no one asks you and no one can know you still something deep inside knows that I know you so what is holding me back to come into the full experience of this truth I wish my way to end right here right now this is crazy thank you with love England you say you wish to be in the full the fullness of yours yourself which would be something undivided undivided busy while we have within us the sense of personhood is still the pulse of our existence seemingly so we just have this feeling and you relate from the perspective or the position of a person which we cannot help for a time and then this sense of wholeness can only be imagined but now you say I wish to be in the fullness of what is what is holding me back and so on so I have to put it in one word wrong identity limited identity will produce limited results I am saying this now and it is our Universal challenge and problem because we see things from the perspective of personhood I don't want to put as blame I know we did something wrong nothing not did but just within you your own true self is complete it is not imaginary it is not something that can be created it can only be discovered and I saw and listened as you spoke and read your letter that this something in you is already ripening for that understanding inside yourself to not just be something that you believe but to be the reality of your own self what is to be done for that you see there has to be a changing over from person to presence first from that first step into presence then it it will be already a confirmation to you you begin to see the limitations of personal identity and you will see that it is a mode of consciousness and it's not all of consciousness you see that how to take this step if there is a step well it's not quite a step because a step is going somewhere you know but we can call it a step because in a sense it's looking from a deeper perspective than the way we often look through the lens of personhood and it is so clear that our difficulties our challenges you know that today I have a wonderful day a wonderful day tomorrow come and things are not going well today but this is a usual story of present good nobody can just control you cannot sign up for two weeks of delicious living it's the when the mind is there this topsy-turvy up and down good one moment not so good and oh great no no and it is like that that's the right of the mind and now the bad news would have been if that's all there is the good news is no it's not and what can happen today as you're standing here is your moment what can happen is he well even as you read your own words you read them you speak them and you hear that muscle and you're aware of what is being said all of this is arising in a space that is silent and empty is it not even as you read these are things your this and I see this and when I take a walk I might take a walk you are there with me these words they are being spoken and heard into an empty space if I had very strong sense of person I would go yes oh very nice oh no but I can hear them in my emptiness hmm and it's not that this morning I went for a little walk you know and this arose inside me to say and that it's not that you are a person just having this amazing limitless experience of peace and emptiness it's more that you are the emptiness itself in which a dream of your person is appearing and living and with all its desires and stuff it's like you're you're on the screen and you're at the same time watching the screen can you relate to this sometimes we feel no no I'm in the life this is the front and so on and sometimes I go and I sit and I get back into this meditation I go back and the reports are always coming from the sense of the person the person is the doer it is it's the seeker it's the hoeper is the one who is getting closer like this and the self is the imaginary or the imagines or a destination like I'm going somewhere I'm getting closer I can feel I can feel the presence and I know that God is close and it's constant this is the this is the feeling and that comes with personhood but all the while there is here this the immensity of the self the immeasurable self it is not a physical thing it's not space we say space like but it's not space it's much more than space not in size we cannot say what size or it has no size but it's greater than space because even space is perceived in it imagination cannot meet it your highest dreams cannot catch hold of it everything is arising in it all the functions of perception and dance of life the play of existence is perceived in it and you are it but the conviction we have that but I'm the person I'm getting close feels more intimate feels more like the fact that the fact is I'm a person going approaching presence I say that is the belief that is what is imagined but the person feels more real because it has a feeling it's got hands your hands your fingernails it's from memory it's got a history all this it takes as evidence of its reality so very few are aware of the simplicity of the unbroken reality of the self the self cannot be waiting somewhere for you to reach you cannot reach the infinite because you are already in the infinite one day you come one moment could be today why not you will come to correctly see that yes you know my sense of self as a personal independent entity is very strong but there's an awareness of myself my body is this size all these and all these qualities I can speak about but they are pairing in in in in this which I cannot speak about if you are going to take the evidence from your mind of what life is you will always feel separated from what I'm speaking you will imagine wow he's speaking from somewhere really far out I'm not too far out I am not even near I am not even near I am not even intimate closer than intimacy indivisibly here this awakening is open for everybody this recognition and confirmation yes for everyone you see but the consciousness God has made an amazing miracle of life it's almost made all these things and hide the God self inside it hmm because it's the last place you look we I used to tell story non time and this is very much relevant it said that in a certain place there was one jeweler you may have heard me talk about this before I am very a very famous jeweler who dealt with that the most precious stones and diamonds and sign he is the main man for this he lived in this small town and sometimes he travels to different places with a special stone that somebody may be an emperor of some place or somebody orders and he takes it in person to deliver them in the same town lives a thief and the thief knows all about the jewelers and this stone specialist he knows all about him he studied them virtually and the jeweler also know about the thief but they never speak sometimes they pass each other in the road it looks at each other you know the way so it's so somehow turns out that a very precious stone a diamond had to be taken to the other side of the country and the the best way to go was by train so the jewel and now he's already ordered his tickets and he's got the diamond with him and the day comes he steps on the train and he goes and the same time the thief goes unchain because he knows everything in the small towns you know they know everything where he's going everything and the thief knows this man has the most precious diamond and I want it I want it so they're both on the train and the thief goes inside and the train the jeweler goes inside finds his seat first-class said there quietly no and he goes into his carriage and he puts his case down and he sets down and they enjoy the journey and the thief also is booked in the same carriage goes inside there good morning good morning thank you sit down pretend I did don't know each other no it's a long journey there's going to be two nights passing and train goes and they're on the train together and somehow on the first night the jeweler leans back stretches his leg out tilts his hat and goes off to sleep with this took place what happened is that they were each had to pass to go to the bathroom and things like that you know so one time they pass each other no and it is tightly so but then the jeweler came back he sits in his carriage and he's tired he tilts his hats and he goes to sleep and the thief is sitting there looking how can he be sleeping how can he be sleeping knowing knowing I'm under train but the jeweler is very very happy sleeping he was snoring and the teeth very quickly goes to his back it's very quick he finds nothing in the morning both of them get up and the jeweller goes to go and wash his face brushes teeth they pass again and as they're passing again the thief ruffles morning they got each other way nothing is found so finally after this long journey they're coming now into the station arriving to destinations when the thief is kind of like he hasn't slept the jeweler is a wonderful rested and everything so the journey is coming to an end and then the TV couldn't bear it anymore can I have a word with you yes You Know Who I am yes and I know who you are yes and I know you have a diamond yes where is it okay I give up I give up because I tried everything and I could not find it so okay the game is over I'm getting off I won't trouble you anymore but just to let me sleep good tonight where did you put it you see he says the jeweler says yes I respect you because you are the biggest thief the greatest skilled thief there is and he went and hugged him said thank you you know you made my journey very interesting he says what you mean interesting he said what happened I know that you know that I have the diamond and I think I can I hide this diamond where I can put it because I know that you are very clever so on the first evening as I was going to the bathroom and you pass me like this I know I saw you did something in my body okay but what happened was I put the diamond in your pocket I put the diamond in the air pocket because I know you wouldn't look there and I have had a wonderful journey thank you thank you for looking after it for me so I said but but but I didn't do I how went what where is it so I said I have it but when did you take it back he said just now when I heard thank you is he what is the point of the story is that you are looking for this precious thing all the while it is in you but you cannot accept you look everywhere else everywhere else you will look but the last place now with train is coming in and you're asking me how I can find I've been divided on this journey of life this train journey of life I have not managed to find it how I can find and I'm showing you no you must let go of all the ideas that you have about it about yourself about life be entirely empty for a moment that habit don't hold on to any idea at all and also I said you may say yes I like everything I said and don't wait for anything don't expect anything at all because to expect means that you Troi your attention out you're waiting for something so don't wait for anything at all no and if a feeling of a boredom or don't touch anything at all be totally empty and the one who is feeling like okay now I am being empty also you have to disregard this one so that only emptiness emptiness needs no help emptiness does not need any person to help emptiness to be more empty okay can you feel this now you know empty then the mind is going okay all this I've done so where is it then you have to leave him also my niece's have done I've listened to everything you say and let go of all everything I've done everything I've not gone to next no expectations have no expectations but nothing is happening nothing is happening I came for something I came for something what you came for nothing I came for something called nothing where is it all your talking is happening in it all your sense of identity is happening in it but you're trying to think it and it is not a thought to it you are a thought but who will catch this clue is it a riddle you believe in yourself that this is your life this is I everything I did everything I meditate for four hours every day in the same position I've done everything it's not enough okay should I meditate 6 hours a day no should I chant a bit more chanting is good it will help to quiet mind but it's not what you are Who am I speaking to if I'm speaking to you as who are you still down why am I speaking to am i speaking to you as an object are you an object like the body listening are you personality am I have a conversation with personality the one who hears can it be seen the one who hears my words can this one be seen even what can it do with my words what can it do with my words build something this try something of what value is what I'm sharing with you who are you what are you I use some objects some tangible person what is this that in which the speaking and the listening on the understanding is taking place is it like a bowl or something in which these things are resonating what is it what are you the memory and the conditioning and the habit of thinking of yourself in form it can be there but we are not going to refer to that now it will not help you to awaken to the truth of who you are your words are written in English yes read a few lines for me now thank you that you are here put your finger like this and just go anywhere and stop and read what you see there close your eyes just put your foot anywhere and stop and let me hear what you read I love the love that you are I follow you for quite a while okay let's stop this I love the love that you are I've followed you for quite a while in what way did you follow me you're not talking about footsteps behind me like this you follow me in what way you follow going into my heart yes so you followed me into your heart when you reach the heart now now you enter heart as what you hide I use some shape inside the heart it's love love is perceived and love is it is felt mm-hmm that which is perceiving love does it have any shape at all mmm no I don't really know what it is I don't really know what it is the one who say I don't know what it is is it somebody actually saying that or is it a thought feeling in you it's no one no how does this feel very good now you can say you know me I'm also this no one and to no one's meet or separate never does it need the shape of somebody is this your imagination do you need any more words about it oh are you satisfied you know sometimes I have the opportunity to sit with some the Sangha around and we just sit together we don't say come and let's sit together we maybe come about smarting let's fix this thing together to do something and then we find ourselves just sitting sometime a question may come and a response may come but actually we're just together and it is the most beautiful thing because strangely unexpectedly a lot of things get cleared up by itself some misconceptions some struggles some suppressed energies are released automatically yet there isn't this year but if they smoke what about this and so on because sometimes it can simply be a habit to feel that use you can know just by hearing some words but if it's coming from the mind or from the person it doesn't go in deeply there come a time when we are speaking and somehow the words that come from you and if there are words that come from here it's somehow combust into a beautiful recognition take place I say sometimes there are two kinds of questions that come knowledge questions people want to know about you know the nature of consciousness in sleep and so answers ok it's ok but there are other questions which I call freedom questions when someone is the urge just to be free not to learn not to study but to be free they have a sense of being blocked by something or trapped and they want to know how how to be free how to go beyond this and is an urge in there and something comes spontaneously to satisfy that urge okay I got a hello you just spoke about it but I still say the illusion but I am I am the one let us experience the vastness yes it's still there yes there is some understanding that it is an illusion but I see that it's so yeah because I'm used to percept things yes so I think I'm perceiving this as well yes is good point it's Abbott yeah you know we were looking and you feel yes you know I am just I'm the expert I'm experiencing this fastest I mean they even fight where is the end of fastness oh it's unending but did you travel around to look how and ending it is you have some special aircraft look to the edge come oh come back on ending no right where you are you know and even without thinking about it now this is unending let me just think about no no something is so immediate in you that is not the product of some thought or some figuring out even in the invitation for many people they are responding somehow with responses that many scientists are baffled about they can't understand research after research and more kinds of machines and yet in one is second hmm and housewife who is hardly ever left home busy cooking and cleaning everyday can answer this night so is it imagination when you see when you say I can see the vast as I say all this is it you're sure it's not imagination yes yes how can someone who has a certain proportion and feel I am this yes you know I you know I'm just here but I see all this I know all of this then this vast has come to you from somewhere are you inside the vastness or is the vastness is inside you the illusion is that the vastness is inside of me yeah there is yes it doesn't have a shape but yes yes why you call it an illusion then there is something that understand that this is but it's not a full understanding yes it is not also a scientific measurement it's very much intuitive far so it is not by the stretch of imagination it's not because you know you're able to can imagine big things it's a direct knowing so don't worry if you say well I can't verify that it is like that the point is that you feel that you are a small thing inside an immense thing is that what you're saying who is the one that knows yeah and who is the one that perceives small and big we are in some way feeling a little trapped by our cultural knowing what you believe habit of thinking and so on fears yes yes you know it cannot be it's unreasonable that you can comment about the immensity of of what is how can you say that it was not born I mean were you there to know and you say well I dare to know I somehow know so what is really the the trouble here that the feeling it feels as though I am still something knowing something right yes but the sense of being something knowing something is not the one also the little something known the big thing also known yes by what what receives small and big what is where is the location of that which is able to perceive inside and outside simultaneously the big one big one the big one is little and you know or which one and that is true you are emptiness and somethingness but the somethingness is your portrait of yourself as time and form and change and that is unstable that is always the dance of existence being watched somehow from the infinite mess of yourself Hey this is what is not either or both in fact you're absolutely the absolute in fact there is no proof you can give to any Mundi and you need not to it but something is beginning to confirm and feels okay in this yes there's there's this behind the scenes behind the facade of the world and all its place and the you and me and this and that and heaven and hell and life and death and good and bad and there and here and all of this play there is a silence an immeasurable silence that is not touched but all this traffic of sensations and thoughts and feelings and and all of this and they seem to be simultaneous and at the same time if you had not recognized if you don't recognize the immensity of the silence that dadís is the silence moving about is the great space running about is it busy know when you have discovered this not merely as an idea it just feels it's an irrefutable fact for you then in this world of dynamic activities you find yourself also present with this body I was saying this morning this body because the body is here doesn't mean it's an ego living in it the body was not made for ego the body in this body is reside during the i am-ness that conscious presence that is witnessing everything but an extension of itself when the belief that I am this body creates the sense of a secondary entity what we are calling the person and it's in the mode of personhood that nearly everyone is living mmm not yet in the I am I want to tell you something that is a share something that is a statement by sri ramana maharishi he's a picture of him somewhere no it says he says the I removes the I yet remains that I I explain the I removes the I yet remains that I the paradox of self-realization and I'll explain the natural intuition in you the sense I am that's what you are in this world that's your most pure place this i am-ness itself is not that the body is not a male nor female it has no religion in fact it is consciousness saying I am but while with the body that it needs the body in order to taste experiencing and the diverse field of experiencing but in the body the belief come I am the body it is not the body the body is its vehicle the belief comes I am the body once that belief comes then can come a male or female I am Japanese I'm English and so on and then other conditioning can come on top of this and that constitute the sense of personhood and then the consciousness is living in the localization of personhood it believes itself to be a person person actually is a function of consciousness that's been given the title of being an entity you have to sit with that a little bit so the I am the natural sense in you I which quickly gets converted into person by habit and culture it says that I am the I am removes the I me person it transcends it through understanding or devotion or surrender whatever once it removes the I me personal belief delusion it again abides in its natural state I am then life is beautiful the real landlord of the house is here the squatter I mean I like I don't like I want this one has been transcended it's a lower voice it is also shaped by consciousness but it's a much lower and restricted form of consciousness that restriction you have to start to feel it then it gives rise to the yearning to go beyond this it is not original to you press the heart you did not come into this field of existence as a person but as consciousness and then somehow something got confirmed changed into the idea and identity of a person I believe that we must wake up out of that so satsang it's a bit like the waking room not waiting room okay waking remaining somehow by listening and looking when it's finally but yes it's true all these things I can see all this I can see every thought my self-image or my different plays and sense of personhood all of that has come like clouds and of past like clouds now something feels not like a cloud but like the sky the clouds of thoughts and feelings and imagination are floating by but the sky is not floating my and that is the that is the the sense or the intuition I am you are the recovering consciousness so to speak meaning waking up which is a good term awakening from this sleep or the dream of personhood you're not becoming something else actually you're ceasing becoming and becomingness has been replaced by being not really becoming and being is far superior there's some point you see that the former state of personhood which you probably thought and expressed but this is my life and feel so proud about is a little bit of donkey work meaning it's very hard it's very much obsessed with doing achieving getting changing but in the state of being there is a sense of isness the world is still in movement play of life the dance of existence still is taking place but it's not attributed to an ego or a mere person it is seen from the place of consciousness where at one time the body was like your anchor you know you feel I am this body and that is slowly fading and replaced by a sense of just being I don't need an objective reference for me the body is an inadequate representation of what you are as consciousness when we are strongly in the mode of body then some fear comes through the mind that I cannot where is the content the shape and the size of the body I mean it's almost as though I'm going to be spread too thin if I'm so infinite and something feels more secure in the small shape of personhood all these things you must wake up from and it is happening very naturally very spontaneously is taking place it's not that you've got to break down some building and make another building there's none of this at all just as you are standing there the scene can take place or a misunderstanding can be put right the mind does not matter right did you say again the mind does not matter it doesn't develop that's some kind of understanding the mind is not going through a process you can put it like that you can sell it the mind becomes more and more refined because it has the same roots as the person it has the same source it all comes from consciousness when the consciousness took the shape of a person it also took the shape of the mind and they were they were to move together in this in this contact because I feel that the mind has to go through a process for me to grasp this but here that the mind has known to develop I mean there's do you know any difference between yourself and mind or not yes yeah you can be without remind in display in that way but it cannot exist without you like I said I'm looking at my hand my hand is not looking at me you are the observer of mind what you call mind and all this movements are observed in you and by yourself but yourself you're not yet quite know what it is hmm you feel that you can have some benefit from the mind right no no it's that it's a simple thing also it's a bit like saying mmm like the moon needs to bring some light to the Sun it's alright so or the moon has to go through some stage and so on until it can be more whatever it's meant to be but you will see it you know it's an you will feel like this for a while that though maybe the mind has to because we have a lot of learning in us the mind has to go whatever it has to go through it we'll do it spontaneously right it will happen spontaneously I saw it like yes like the rest of life everything is happening on unfolding spontaneously but if you have the idea that you are the doer you're gonna be very busy juggling a lot of things and that you have to do for a very long time so it happens spontaneously really I mean the mind I feel that the mind there the mind is like a child yeah you who are saying this is what yeah the mind is working for this is more important that you catch also the mind is making some comments about the mind also and you the consciousness are temporarily so hypnotized into believing oh yes so it's also from mine and it will imagine some work that you cannot do yeah going to this mic yeah you being what mine and behind all this sort of play if you want to say there's an awareness in which it's taking place hmm what is the awareness doing what yes with interest well it's this is the show that's goes on yeah it goes on as long as there's an audience the show goes on an idea we have of ourselves feels yes I need to do something so on and so that makes play go on in that way there is a play you can say because this world that we see and the dynamics of it something is moving and perceiving perceiving it but not from the standpoint anymore of just personhood personally it's quite a insecure aspect or mode of consciousness it's an individual sense of autonomy and I can do and I have a choice and so on it's quite a complex little functioning actually but if you care to see that wait all this is observable and if I can observe something I cannot be fundamentally or essentially the thing being observed also even if I have the greatest love for that thing I cannot sustain unbroken attention to it by some law it seems to come and go everything is coming and going you cannot be that which comes and goes because if you were that which come and go when they go you would also be gone but you are here to witness a and that's gone now this thing that felt while it was here it felt you were totally identified with it then it's gone but your something is still here to witness that that was playing before and now that's also gone so that sense of being can somehow feel like it gets caught up a bit it has the capacity to identify with its own projections and to be affected by it that's the that's the state of the I am what is this identification what it what it stands on really what it's like what is the root of this identification in this sense I am the sense of presence that the one that is the dynamic presence which is the one that experiences the world the one for whom the world was made the one who perceives a world each one with in whom the sense of presence is there is perceiving the world according to its instrumentality insects also are perceiving a world but not the same world that human beings perceive each one according to their the range of their capacity to function through the human body is a very very great body for consciousness to demonstrate its diversity and yet it is one consciousness I don't want to tell you things that yeah which is just gonna okay I accept or belief more wanting to to see that you come into the understanding and then the rest is I can leave to you it will happen automatically all that you need to know will gradually come in the timing and the rightness and the rightness also of when they need to to come and go in terms of your perceiving of them the main thing is to get you outside out of the hole so to speak and into the hole from out of the hole to the wall on hole something like this and the sense I am did the persistent belief I am this person that is a kind of hole it's a shape and that you have taken but you are originally the shapeless one the formless one has been living now with form and every form is a limitation for the one who is free must even go beyond the belief and that I'm a man or a woman you will come even to see that that's not to say that you'll be going around are no more one no and that will be there but the quintessential understanding of consciousness as it is which you don't have to speak about but everything in your life will be informed from that seeing and it is a fresh it is transcendental to the personalized mind functioning and the sense within you is not that you're busy working out the world but you are the silence in which a world is seen and you're very very integrated with it also on some level and in another place your we are beyond it also the one who has awakened from the sleep of personhood is the real citizen of this world they're kind an open compassionate peaceful wise these are not attributes of the ego identity so all this is is a change from a limited perspective and living living from a limited perspective of present hood into the expanse of the i am-ness of conscious presence that's first thing your life when we speak about your life is primarily you speak about the waking state sleep is also part of your life but it will not be in your heart a biography sleep is a big part of your life because the consciousness in its expression is rotating between the waking state and sleeping dreaming and self-awareness that rotation is moving something in your waking state you speak about your life in deep sleep if your name was Susan in deep sleep there is no Susan there are no relatives there are no beliefs it's as though all this that you experienced and believed in the waking state is nullified and deep sleep and not talking about dream now and yet unless you enter that deep sleep where not even yourself is there the eye of your person is not there and yet here you become refreshed when you are empty of data and belief and everything mine rests beingness rest then waking state the consciousness arises the sense I I am arise then I person come and then the dance bein still the weakness remains silent and still unbound but we are largely not aware of this witnessing capacity even witnessing is not the highest even the ultimate is not witnessing it's not witnessing I'm looking witnessing hmm spontaneously the world is perceived in it it doesn't have to go around and fixing every little part and yet by its power all this is happening it cannot be understood human being especially we get result by doing and thinking and doing the god power doesn't work like that he's not making flowers in the night painting them bring you the Sun everything is happening spontaneously your life can be a spontaneity also but the mind in the personal psychological mind will have a lot of challenge to put against that to say no you've been lazy you know being responsible and something inside this your being which is transitioning from personhood to presence it's still susceptible to device of the mind you see yeah you know again you made this mistake and you know you know you're not worthy in your this thing and if that is listened to you may find that it's weakening your journey and you pull back into the shape of who you thought you were yesterday but with the experience of feeling the varying waves of mind and becoming a bit more resilient to its vice something can stay and then swings more towards the word bless one towards the the pure silence of being this very subtle we can talk about that about these things but when that time is right for you then the right conversation would take place which amounts to simply that simply that like a thought being held just like we say you can put your fingernail can hide the Sun from you I thought believed in especially the I thought hmm it's blocking your intuitive recognition and knowing of yourself your knowing being because of the persistence and the habit of the belief I am this person I'm even a spiritual person and I'm getting somewhere closer and closer all this is the dream muscle and if it feels right for you to make that effort then it's also fine because it means that it's in alignment with somehow your natural tendencies are moving like this but there comes a time when you can what I say be like the cow that jumped over the moon something is fit enough inside to to bypass the mind you don't have to go to the forest of the mind a few words you were here and there would be enough somehow to to cut this umbilical cord to the false mind so it does not have to be strenuous work you know sometimes it feels like we're just under a spell hmm that it is so it is so simple it is like the fishes are dying of thirst in the ocean it is that obvious but yet obviously overlooked this is the paradox you are 100% that you're not 98% that in the last 2% you have to finish by yourself you are a hundred percent this hmm but somehow a belief that's why I call it a spell just now it's not easy to explain how we came so saturated with them liberty mind energy and the belief in personhood and yet you can see like on the tree of existence not all the fruits come too ripe at the same time here and there one drops into the heart of one's own self and some of the other fruits go oh I don't mind being like that when is my turn you all are destined for that it's a question of time I hope it's not lifetimes but life is not waiting the infinite is not waiting but to the one for whom time is itself a pressure then he will use time to say yes now enough time of this now I'm ready in some way hmm everything is moving perfectly in the great clockwork of God in this universe everything's every cultures puffing fine even self-belief is also observable I really just you know I can't get out of the belief that I'm just a person is also observed in you the one who is not a belief nor does it believe it is and introduces a silence that is incomparable a peace unending joy unmatchable a love inexhaustible a life imperishable an existence uncreated even this silence that you sense it's only your perfume where this perfume come from that no one can touch you can only be and strangely you are already but asleep to it so the life is for discovering it consciously because to know it only intellectually is not enough there's a saying you want to taste the honey you don't want to be Danny but here you taste the honey and you are Danny also then I say like that because your self self tasting we are self tasting how you can taste yourself how you can taste it's just a way of saying the consciousness must flower in a way if I can use these terms a bit poetic but they speak something inside that it cannot just be the consciousness of the mind like in the mind yes I understand I agree yes let's shake hands on it's not that he says no you go to a valve and it closes behind you you cannot go back to that and you would not want to as though something cannot accept that this emptiness it's only a little clue to you maybe you start counting at one your world your first building block maybe this one for me it's zero I'm at the place of see I'm at the place of zero happily I'm not against building for change all this is there all this father makes but I'm experiencing my good fortune I am nothing appearing to be something and now enjoying both you can say this great silence reminds you of what you are how can the silence remind you of what you are you are not different from the silence this is not the silence that is linked to an occasion it doesn't it doesn't come or go sometimes it fuse the mind once more before what when the mine returns to you then he's happy when he comes to your self-image he was trouble in a way I've been speaking with you as everyone here I am not addressing you as a person but as consciousness when I address you as consciousness we can all eat together if I address you as a person and then it's yeah it's easy to say yeah it's just talking to her she's got their own little troubles or something but addressing us consciousness that's universal and we all can relate to that that is true conversation how can you speak to all these people so diverse quite a fruit salad how can you put everybody together and with one understanding unless you speak as consciousness consciousness is our common language you can translate it into French and English and all these different things but just technically but the understanding is consciousness even now you're empty the emptiness in you is not your personal experience it's your transcendental experience it is synonymous with you it is your natural knowing even the sense that essentialness the sense I am even this is your first knowing but it also arise out of that which cannot be known you can only be that is the absolute that unborn awareness is it in future it is beyond future is beyond time truly you'll be on time truly European time but you have time body while you're in the time buddy make use of time buddy to recognize your timelessness it's ammo needs to be known acknowledged which cancels out the or child sends the smallness of personhood and returns you to your sizeless self in one way superficially you can say that I'm discussing something with you maybe teaching something but more it's more like transmitting something transmission is much more subtle you don't have to go and scratch your head automatically some nonsense is washed away maybe a question that you held before you cannot find it's no longer relevant what will you say now what will be relevant let it be let it be there is nothing to achieve no where to go is that an attitude no it's just let it go there's nothing I can't achieve first I think I can this is the big present I is what they imagine everyone cannot get anything yes what perceives the imaginary one I can call it the universe past means is that an abstraction for you when you speak like that you have a sense of yourself and this yes yeah as it's being this I mean does this thing that I cannot describe yes and you don't have to thanks it's enough that you are that you are and the juice that comes out of this you are Ness is enough you don't have to say anything because anything you say about this will not be true it will be the mind trying to turn it into something quantifiable and it is not display on everything now I would say let your attention marinate joyfully in it meaning somehow you may just be by yourself and and and it's not a thinking it's not a thinking it's like the self contemplating itself it's the highest joy infant and automatically your dynamic life harmonizes itself watch and see things you felt all I had all these things to do and when I went in it was like it was all kind of like it was okay or I was imagining that I had to do this and this and that and when I came back to it I realized that this thing happened and we don't do any of this thing or something the mind is always setting up to accomplish so many things so many feats but the being is not having to accomplish anything by it's very light things happening it's just like the Sun the the sunlight comes to the earth and life springs into dancing because it's there you know some people are worshipping the Sun some is having sunbathing some is you know everything but you cannot say that is the purpose of the Sun even it is not shining everything is simply taking place and yet without it no life could proliferate yourself is like this greater than that also greater than a son no disrespect to the Sun and it's not a compliment that I'm paying you to say it is greater than that something that cannot be measured cannot be compared cannot be evaluated it is via without quality and yet is beyond and above everything that you can perceive even everything combined and you would intuitively know and what to do I don't give so much attention to your person o you but they're pulling at your skirt but this is one baby when it cries you don't have to be with this you will end to it intuitively know when the time is right to attend to a thing and so on without rehearsal without predetermination and your presence permit this these things to be said like that yes you know this joy this happiness does not have to end this joy in you it does not have to come to end this silence this peace does not have to come to an end it only comes to an end for the person but not for the presence because it is synonymous with presence but for the person is some occasion it is your natural climate of being peacefulness it doesn't mean some things will not be experienced as some some struggle a place for some effort here but it will all happen in your stride it will never overwhelm you and even if God gives you a situation that feels overwhelming for a while you will see that you'll be grateful for that experience for what it enables you to see one day one moment you are going to be too grateful for you too grateful for your life when it flowers into the miracle of the truth it's all there it's all in you leave it to the mind it's going to make nonsense out of a lot of things and leave you feeling caged don't let your mind tell you who you are thank you thank you to thank I'll let ask you two just to check inside now just check in with yourself for most of you you're in the state of your being not mind even if my energy somehow cheated to judge you but primarily you're in the state of presence no even if it feels mine want to say someone to ask a question want to know but pay attention just to your hereness don't focus on any any event or any period of time or any quality just this sense of isness just I am give a little attention to this because for so long you overlooked it and gave attention to ephemeral things momentary things which amounts to a destruction from yourself and I would say the most important significant thing is to pay some attention to yourself not the same as paying attention to your person if you pay attention to the person it must be with some detachment as though you're looking from a distance at it but how can you pay attention to yourself well when you leave giving going with the senses outwards towards sense objects and empty the mind of all this kind of this habit for a moment even for a short time and hold no self-image of who you are you are naturally in your own presence naturally so it is not a huge task if it feels like a task it's because the sense of the the mind energy keeps coming up and attention is going to that which effectively creates a sense of being distracted the minute even if such a pulsation is very dynamic in you and you don't go further and combine further just that you are aware of that but not adding anything and not not develop any interest not even repulsion towards it but learn to pay attention to this to the sense of emptiness like a state of neutrality if we could imagine that our daily life and attention is like the gears the gears in a car or a motor vehicle and it seemed in the waking state the attention is always in some gear first a second third or fourth or something even in an automatic car it's in some gear but you now are in neutral let the gears happen but you stay in neutral pay attention to this very few human beings are paying attention to this silence because from the mind and our culture gives no value to it we give no value to it and also it is so exquisite it is beyond the value so giving attention to this but not creating an image of it to focus the attention that your attention merge in the emptiness because for so much of our life in the waking State your attention goes to object now let it stay in the subject the subject is not an object just pure emptiness and watch that the deceiving mind he will come and say but you're wasting your time doing nothing how are you going to achieve anything sitting doing nothing so you have to be able to withstand this vice which after all is speaking rubbish he is telling you to go and attend to rubbish you be in your silence as you are now this silence is not azim our silence is not the Portuguese silence it's not a Christian silence it is silence of your being and it is Universal even the monkeys know this silence every living thing has a chance for this silence this silence and happiness and peace are same and notice there is no one being silent so the silence is not owned it's not a possession it is your fragrance your perfume and this silence is the background and environment the true environment of the mine that allows mine to function healthily rather than working for the person is there any limit to it is it inside or outside it is everywhere even inside the atoms that play come together to form his body it is singing in them can you bear the chattering of the mind without being distracted even if you were to say I'm going to sit and enter silence you'll find the silence is already there before you there's no need to try and concentrate on being silent that is not silence simply be empty remain enjoy perhaps this is the real significance of the words to enjoy yourself to be in the joy of yourself it's nothing personal thank you offer this song in honor of Claire yes who is joy and love and light is so alive and hasn't changed her I've gone anywhere yes and she's just so present in my heart and in all this over I love her so much yes we all do [Music] past the point of no return seeing the lies I've seen them here to overcome it all here to rise I cannot fall at the edger you hand me free from mental slavery stand alone wanting you power coming through my gear you cool [Music] inside there to go [Music] here you go [Music] inside there are two [Music] everyone isn't as rich everything is hidden did you listen for the one in you one and all true of all my life [Music] stand up you I were coming through my ear you one inside of all [Music] the [Music] I'll take my chances the path is lesson but he's walking with me he goes before [Laughter] now I hear you that's here you go [Music] Oh here you go inside the hearts of [Music] here you go [Music] I [Music] I [Music] [Music] bye [Music] [Applause] [Music] just a few words from the avid root to get all the sage senses beyond all speech beyond all names beyond the subtlest of all subtle things beyond mind intellect and the five senses the stainless Lord of the universe remains everyone the self is said to be like the sky indeed it is like the sky it is pure consciousness without any stain it is truly the all-embracing whole it remains unaffected although it takes the form of earth air water and fire though it takes all these forms it itself remains always the same all infinite space is pervaded by the one self but nothing else pervades the self it is simultaneously within and without it cannot be limited or divided in parts it is extremely subtle and cannot be seen it is primary to all qualities the Yogi's say it is the state that underlies all other temporary states of mind the subtle images are seen within and the manifold forms are seen without but the independent experiencer of both is known by all seers as the inner self find and know that you are dead in ourselves [Music] you
