good wonderful I'm very happy to see you and today and feels very fitting that we are having this satsang today I want to hear from you you come fast for me I read it and I wanted to see you yeah but I cannot go read word for word now maybe I should have brought it with me but if it's sufficiently I'm still true for you then you can again refresh my mind apart there is just still so much believe in the thoughts and the feelings I want to tell you a little bit about today this morning yeah like any other time my contact with you my intention is that if you are sufficiently open and don't just focus on the sense of personal problems yes you can talk about that but your aim should be to return to your natural state why would we want to live in a sub state that is not true not complete not full and so many people have come here at least they have tasted what is being pointed to it is not a fantasy it is not anything that you've been asked to visualize or to imagine hmm for this reason I'm so happy that you can directly know çb that which you are not by just human effort but primarily true understanding and direct experience so today I would like to ask that you come with the same urgency and openness why because what we are here to discover is that which is most natural to you what is most natural no contrived state we're not here and focusing on behavior and you know we're trying to get to this place and so on it is you know in my way of looking it is it's very straightforward hmm I've said before the truth it is very simple what it is already here also nobody can develop truth it it can really be discovered mmm the truth is simple but the seeker of truth is complex and very often our strongest impression or a sense of ourselves is our person which is a kind of complexity and largely unavoidable so I'm not asking you let's just forget about your person because in a sense you need to know what the person is in order to transcend it it is a highly overrated state Reznor's whereas your natural state is actually I don't want to tell you so much about it because we have to discover and don't want to tell you oh it's like this like that you know it also but there's a sense of knowing it and a sense of being it and if it is truly discovered and you see that it exists by itself it doesn't need a separate aspirer for it to reach it these are subtle things so if you have not heard them before inmates on what is he talking about you will soon find if I if I have to chance now to share with you again I'm really primarily only reminding and pointing out I don't want to emphasize that I'm teaching so much but more pointing it or why pointing pointing is more direct it's immediate it's making what is obvious obvious and though it is obvious we seem to be unaware of it that which is most needed to be discovered seems far away and difficult that is the power of Maya ok so I come back I may seem as though something you may say I might go off a little bit just to broaden it and to it's natural Universal base so that you can really each one can see where they are looking from from the example like so you started off by saying repeat there's still so much believing thoughts and feelings and I it's so one to discover who I truly am yes so let's start there then there's so much strength so much belief in my feelings in my doubts and that is understandable because from we experienced childhood state in this body until now it seemed in this plane of existence it is very natural normal universal ammos to believe we are only our ego identity meaning the belief that I am this body fundamentally and that I am the conditioning that arises in this body in what we call my life so far this is partly true but it is a long way from being perfectly true I want to again now show you because you say I seem to have strong belief from my doubts and feelings okay so belief itself something is aware of the feelings the doubts that come up obvious a natural thing now so don't imagine I'm speaking some great metaphysical thing common sense thing your feelings you're aware of the strength of them we are aware of them they are coming and going we are aware of them when they come very often strong identification creates a kind of stagnation or a very strong dynamic play and we largely suffer that because you seemed not to be able to come out of them so easy okay but I'm not going to ask you to wrestle with your feelings so much let's just start at just being aware of them for now not just trying to get rid of them so the thoughts the feelings doubts you say also it comes and everyone knows this because they have an energetic presence about them you know what it feels like when doubt is present when you're feeling is a strong you're aware of them and you're also aware of how you feel about them you know you say I would love to be free of them to get away from them you see there's awareness of that also I'm going to put the focus not so much on the feelings and the wrestling with the feelings but with the awareness of the feeling a significance that's been overlooked so I'm going to ask you mmm could there be feelings it could there be doubts if you were not aware of them will you suffer them are you not the one aware of them something is aware of them could feelings be there doubts but there if you were not there so for whom do the feelings come for whom do the doubts arise for the natural sense it's for me isn't it so now we say we were just gonna take a little bit of a closer look of what you are naming as me when you say as it's happening to me is that sense of yourself that you're referring to is it personal or impersonal I'm just asking to look you know it is personal okay so that it is personal and that you can answer means that that also you observe have I gone too far too directly so even the fact that it is personal before you get all entangled in the identity of the person stay at the place where you are simply aware yes this is something very personal also so that is observed so you're observing but don't log in just now you follow yeah you're just aware just about now is the stage where you would get entangled in it because the feelings are very very loud strong and by habit something just wants to get out of them get away from them but we cannot just do that we've all tried I'm giving you an excellent way stay only as the awareness for the moment the reflex is to try and slap these things away or to suppress them or to try and run away from them okay but now I'm asking you're still here that the feeling is there don't be in such a hurry now to change them or to suppress them just be aware of them and they are there and they are crackling away inside the body and the feeling of and now comes you see the identity with them also is strengthening it's intensifying the experience identification they're happening to me I don't like this so it starts off that feeling come the feeling or the thought but are you with me by the way and this is okay the feeling or the thoughts by itself is not sufficient to cause such trouble what happens is as soon as the feelings come or the thought come some interpreting tendencies come and the other ones that are interpreting personally I want to say something that may seem very radical all problems are person based it means that until you get into the posture at a position of personhood hmm then that's when you feel caught by them you know I don't like this my something to me and mine is always presenting some context and some reason and evidence as though your it is really you your you this is all of you caught in this situation this sense of a problem you see so I'm just asking you to hold back a little bit just observe for now hmm rather than just getting entangled in all of that in creating even bigger mess so you're simply observing learning to observe is one of it is really one of your great powers stay out of it look but don't link okay and that really feels like impossible for me that's right so that is also a thought yes okay also observed yes okay this is what sampling is that these thoughts that will come and they have come before and they've worked that is really impossible for me and you go no further that is sufficient to push you off this course and many people like as a reflex they quickly believe with this thought they don't recognize it as a thought they think it is a truth and they go yeah that's too much and then the body language everything comes into play you see that they're almost giving up they want to try something else have you got the pill emoji you got something that we can get rid of it I am showing you the excellent way not just to transcend and to see what these things are in themselves but any other kind of thoughts attack or emotional attack or feelings is on you see you say this feels impossible for me but when I say it it doesn't feel true exactly it doesn't feel true especially if you don't purchase this thought immediately sometime as soon as these thoughts come they're believed and so there's no gap to just examine them so don't purchase anything immediately take it the thought come the feeling come and usual behavior and response is that we believe them and we've been to act on them and now I say just hold off look at it is this observable or not as a sensation as a thought should come even this it may seem difficult because you have not used it and we don't take to new things so quickly you see but all that I'm asking to do is to not go out with the deceiver don't even be a receiver of it stay empty just look from like this don't hold onto any identity about who you are is it possible just for a moment you see don't hold onto that's another thing don't be so quick to define what you are to define is to confine in some way to limit is it possible that you can somehow stay shapeless now shapelessness is the most natural thing for you if you are shapeless you can observe an experience universally if you go into a shape you already become something is this too much yes it's too much you see I think she answered also without being conscious that she was having this answer it is too much it's like the whole the old answer is answering this is easy is it too much to just stay out and stay observing observe from a place of neutrality is it possible everyone can do it everyone can do it children are so candid because they have not mostly grown to be stupid like us they have been more fresh they ke here this haha keep out of it they haven't picked up the bad habit quite as deeply yet somehow but largely they can't they can listen to that answer hmm you sometimes we have grown to feel that we can just can't do things this is to do with the mind culture you see and by limiting ourselves to the sense of personhood to the voice of the mind of the psychological mind that tell you what you can't do you're not good enough you're not worthy enough you fail before this type of stuff you see it may have started by some people telling you these things and then you believe them so now we're looking again and saying is it possible that just for a little bit you can observe the behavior what's happening in the mind okay but don't lock into the play because you in fact you're more able to observe if you don't identify personally now it's really loud like I can do that and could you maybe you can or cannot you can't cannot yes yes this she said she cannot and this I really want to say I can but it's really loud that I can't and maybe could you repeat yes what you are hearing no yes what we're doing now is exposing yes an energy an intrusive energy that's been living in your head having a certain power making decisions on your behalf okay and in some way blocking your natural power it is this power that is feeling I can't do it and when I speak especially I saw what did you say and they start bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla when I say you must bla bla bla bla bla doesn't match you to hear what kind of thing is that it becomes very difficult to hear at this moment because it is as though if I could give it some kind of heart it is as though it is bad company it doesn't want you to be free from its grip but this is going to be easily and we're gonna easily get out of this thing you see even that you're speaking you are exposing it now doesn't feel comfortable that's yes it's good it never felt comfortable no you see because it's so far it has had a stronger influence over your natural mind you know and that is not deeply true but it has been experientially true for you because it's a gradual weakening and not of your natural mind it can only come because of the strength of your identity as a person of a particular person as soon as you began to engage and believe in being a particular person these traditions can in strength and don't panic yeah we're gonna easily go over that first thing identify it is a tendency also that once we are get used to these this kind of play you start to identify them to be who you are they create sense of vulnerability of insecurity of neediness in us and what happens as a result you start to protect and defend them because it feels like you are coming under attack you start to feel uneasy and something wants to go out it wants to run away you know it's an old story it's not a modern phenomenon it is as old as human being it is a force they're always in us that works and intelligence that works also to kind of keep it's not even that's not sane intelligence it's a force that seems to gravitate towards keeping you in the position of merely a person limited and full of disbelief and resistance and you know peculiarities and so on but there's a force also in you that is aspiring for freedom and moving into higher realms of consciousness both are at play but I want to tell you something else the greater thing we'll not talked about we have talked about the force and the left that wants to bring to create to hold you interest into the shape of a person because that's you're at your most manipulatable although the person is also a form of consciousness it is the most manipulated and the weakest link in the expression of consciousness and the other side is the energy that wants to continue expanding to return to its source this is the higher play hmm and then what there's what you truly are is what you truly are the sense that you have the sense I am I I the sense I in you is the most important what is it the sense I this is one of the most important things to be aware of it since I God says I gotta says I am even the term I am is said to be a name of God also the devil also says I am ego says I am the prophets say I am the dust man say I am everybody say I am what does I refer to as he originally I means consciousness actually that is your name everyone feels the sense I I implies consciousness but these days it has been converted into the limited form i personal high personality which is a very limited and contracted state shaped out of the belief I am my body and my conditioning it is a fall from grace actually and yet no one is to be really blamed everyone must taste conditioning initially in the belief I am this body I am this person as we mature in consciousness as our minds become more purified or our hearts desire a higher mode an expression of consciousness we outgrow personhood this body was not created for personhood was created as the instrument of the expression of consciousness of the will of God but it is not just a mistake it is like a divine mistake if you can say or a plan that the consciousness which is pure in essence in its dynamic expression the sense I am hmm would either go towards a strong belief in the body mind identity or to be aware of its higher nature as consciousness I don't want to talk so much about that I don't know if you can hold your attention on my words right now because sometimes that come under fire also that it's like whoa I'm lost am lost and more confused so that is a reaction that comes from the from the psychological mind you are not this I endeavored to find out what you are actually right now here you are the witness to all of this but we have forgotten and I'm not only going to remind you I'm showing you that everything that you perceive through the mind through the body everything that appears in you whether it is a thought a sensation an image a concept all of it are appearances only they're clouds passing some clouds pass quickly some clouds pass slowly but you the witness of them relative to them you're like the sky which does not pass the clouds are passing you the witness of them must become we're of yourself the bad habit or the weakening of this is when we are constantly watching things and reporting about the traffic of sensations ideas identities passing that's our daily experience it's as though our attention and our mind is always in gear reporting about some incidents some stories some memory some projection about future something to do with time now all that you have witnessed or believed helps to shape the life you think you are can we see a little bit of this our beliefs contribute to the life we think we have or we are you are the one witness them if you say Albert Einstein said this and did that it was not your direct experience it became your belief and you accepted that also some things were your direct experience and other things we learnt through conditioning and through life we picked up some people have come here and have asked them something I've said you are the witness of all these things you are the perceiver of all the things that you believe in that which is seeing everything everything that you have experienced there's even some things which are so subtle there are no names for them in any language yet your consciousness perceived them you are not that which is perceiving everything and has the capacity to perceive everything can that itself be perceived I don't know if that is too difficult to question to put it is a direct question as he is anybody who can answer that you say the perceiver of all things in you functioning in you as your own self can that itself be perceived and if it can be perceived but what can it perceived something other than itself if it can be perceived by something other than itself then that perceiver is greater than it and must be at all so that's one thing there are many people who could not embrace such a direction they could not embrace or make use of this advice because it just felt like whoa whoa that's too much of a mind bender for me okay leave that leave this but you whatever it is that is coming up you see must report to you who perceived them you are the one who say they are or they're not can you see this just be honest something is pulling me out yes something is pulling the idea you have of who you are out something is pulling the idea your personal identity the one you take yourself to be okay and that's why it feels so painful because you're holding that to be yourself you see so something is putting in a darkness and we all know him this place okay but you are reporting that I'm aware of this is that the same one that which is aware of being pulled away from looking is able to see that the one who is aware but that something that says something is saying you know I can't do that and something is pulling me to go out and I say that which is aware of this is that being pulled out subtler questions now it's coming up that it feels like it's not a pure witness pure perceiving but yeah I also can see that yes still it's so close so close it's close to what let's look it's close to what that which is looking that which is looking does it have a shape you can take a little time the place where you're looking from hmm is it a person are you personal here remember the person can be seen that which is aware of even these pulls this voice is still this voice is still active because you know why you have not owned yourself you are still not quite quite sure which one you are he's telling is trying to pull pull the you out I'm saying but even the one who feels like it's being pulled out something is earlier than that pure that watch is that sensation don't identify with that sensation and what number I'm calling it a sensation because any moment now it can just collapse or disappear it's not that important it's only as important while you are engaged with it you're under its spell so much resistance resistance is a sensation also being noticed don't identify with anything at all I wonder if you can do it what I'm pointing you to is very direct right now you are going to get it and when you get it you know what's going to happen you are going to be so happy to be in your natural state in your true power you're not in your true power at the moment because you are so separate susceptible to so many vices it's done you but no and it's pulling in this vein that but it can only be effective because you believe that you are the one that is being pulled that has been where you have located your identity for a long time and this one who keeps company with this identity is gonna keep fighting it in some way it is good I wonder if anybody knows why it is good because that identity you will never be satisfied with it because it is not stable are my words too complex at the moment big good if you're not used to them it may seem to be very complex because the very thing that is eating away that is causing destruction in you hmm it's as though it does not want you to discover who you are because the moment you discover who you are you're out of all these Trump's this is why I call it the direct pointing but there's a force inside that perhaps you the consciousness is still cooperating with it because that's an old ohm grown relationship you see maybe when I speak with your fear comes because it has the capacity and the ability to make you feel that you are going to lose something very important and this is powerful Maya you know if you're going is taking into some place this type of stuff I am taking you to you how much distance is that the distance of a thought and a belief we carry on yes very good so where every reach now now device is still there saying you know like something but you are not to step away from where I asked you you're only observing okay you have to be a witness don't become part of the crime scene yes that is it possible you see because my habits something would have been entangled by now and you'll be there bending over looking fetal and thinking oh I don't know I just can't do it I maybe have to leave and speaking its language not your language your language the language of consciousness of God of truth of freedom and love and peace beauty you're not prisoners for a long time we did not we were not aware of the severity of the strengths of this egoic identity we took it completely to be what we are as you came to satsang you began to notice that it was observable and therefore nothing that you see from any zone of time can be what you are the witness of it as soon as that space began to open you are discovering something much more deep more true you're not so busy chasing the wind what is it saying though like okay I I am the witness but I'm also the person that is sometimes I ask are you an object in front of the lens of perception or are you behind the lens of perception or both are you merely an object in front of the lens of perception or are you behind the lens of perception or are you both or are you both and beyond both what can you say because you're reporting in some way because of the habit of having identified not just you personally singling out you right now your voice is the voice of humankind largely because we all know what did we like you see and that the mind is you take it as your friend but sometime is your bully okay and sometimes you make you feel sorry for him and you ho never mind and there's kind of stuff okay we're designing Buster as you grow you must outgrow the limited states that and that appear in you and you can see that it is not really on your side as you were beginning to first of all let me say something it's only as you are leaving one state and going into an AIA state that you can look back and see what that state that you were in this when you're in it is very difficult to see when you're coming out you can say war that was so heavy if I goes but only as you're leaving it's the same thing when I ask and put you in a position that you're only witnessing this I'm not telling you to get into some street fight with your mind to say just witness ISM but don't login don't identify is it possible you see you're showing it as possible but not completely sometimes but he's saying this he's saying that he doesn't want that you are saying that he's saying this there's a saying that one of the greatest tricks of the devil is to convince you he doesn't exist and this is why in a sense one of the power one of your powers is in exposing what is untrue because as the things is exposed what happened when you're exposing something you feel you're taking a risk you feel like you've been cooperating with keeping your secret for so long but something is compelling to speak it out hmm and as you speak it out what happened it's like you can exhale you see this is there are many ways you can look at yourself in a thousand different mirrors it was surely the same face okay this is just one way I'm showing and it is a very powerful way because wherever you go in life this is effective for you hmm and it is not that as soon as you grow back into yourself it is not even a practice anymore because you cannot develop your true self you can only discover you can develop your ego self but you cannot develop your true self that you can only find that is the God within you and that's why I'm fighting you do if you stay as the witness you can say yes he's saying this and the more you stay as the witness I ask you who is he speaking to you see how near is this voice can you feel the warmth from his breath now if you stay witnessing what happen you become more and more distant laughter well it's gone it will not be able to stay in your presence or in your company when you stand in your light this is the great play of this life come out from this Oh wake up from this anesthesia from this hypnosis of Prasad I am not turning this into some evangelical message I trust that those who are destined to hear can hear whether you're destined to wake up from this I don't know but that you've been here and listening to these pointings and can apply them directly to your own consciousness and to look and to feel if this is a benefit or not and to experience the struggles of waking up some people they wake up and as they wake up like a grasshopper this spring out of bed ping and they're up and about and some they wake up very slowly put the alarm clock off go into their second dream and all this type of stuff anybody know this okay come to speak on let's finish this up now something is still holding on if I say to you yeah a hundred people are gonna come and they're all gonna hug you but you don't hug anybody maybe a hundred is too much I say 15 people are gonna come to you and hug you don't even know space to hug in your leg and never you know but you don't hug anybody is it possible same way this thing is trying to hold on to you but you're not holding on to anything as he got you know so not only that by knowing this you're rubbed oil or Vaseline on his fingers it doesn't matter you remember why why are you free of this now it's coming like maybe it's taking too long and I also want to give the right answer but I don't know you know that's not what I know in what we're not at school and a moment later no I know I know yeah yeah okay you're doing well I gotta tell you okay but finish it off go ahead and tell me what do I have to buy what what is holding you anything is holding you now are you trapped yes yes okay show me your chance or your child I can find daddy I used to tell us so they stay here but ribs are you here rib booze right there rebou used to have it many years ago we traveled around together spent a lot of time together and for a while he had this habit of saying you know this problem no don't this problem yeah like this I got this problem problem so we used to talk about this thing and one morning I was sitting outside on the bench outside of my apartment and he came up and if you say say like you know the problem is this and the problem is that so and that morning I got up and he came out us he was looking a bit like a bit Quist and I said yeah I said what's up now ribs and he said the problem is I can't find a problem [Laughter] where are your ribs is true or not problem is I can find a problem I say this because something just by habit can feel like I've got a problem why because I've always had one well I'll always have at least one and I'll usually usually do three or four in my pockets but I can't find one and that's the problem you are saying now yes there is something what is it I can't find it sort it out because you could be outside just waiting outside the door something is saying yes but you're not free yes what a friend you have this is the one you've been hanging out with all your life when all your best friends leave you this one goes when you sit down he sits down with you when you lie down you lie down with you when you get up you get up with you and this is what he has to say on a day like this as you are sort of like moving more highly more deeply into your truth you saying what not yet not yet and where can we go is this something that we must accept no the summarization of your own mind not yet you're not free yet okay where will the strength of these words come from what will happen to them only if they are believed if you are in the habit of believing this voice you believe it into existence for you and it will become your experience that's how we develop our or on the develop our mind by believing in thoughts especially if your personal if you are being personal your thoughts will not be on your side not for truth and that's where the evolution of personhood is the big river of humankind because people are trying to become better but they don't know what better is sometimes better means just having more money and you know having a summer house and you know being married to a good cook and whatever it is you know we have different ideas of what is good or just to be and to be physically healthy or not hoing any money to anybody but the good I'm expanding that to mean being happy and being at peace and to be unafraid and to be kind and open and compassionate wise who will refuse this is your true nature those words have just spoken they are the fragrance the perfume of your true nature when we are limited to ego hood then we're inclined to be more selfish insecure quick to become attached to things and people ideas we were talking not long ago and about a certain one man whose wife was caring for homeless people so to speak and he was talking to one of these homeless persons at this man and the the man he was saying my wife you know has done so much work for the homeless and son and the homeless man says everybody's homeless everybody is honest until you find God until you find truth you could live in a palace with a hundred rooms but you're not home until your home here when you're at home inside your own being you're at home otherwise not satsang is to reintroduce you to your home your home and yourself or when not to you've been listening we always say you I mean in a very white sense we've been listening to a voice that it's time to outgrow it's time to overcome its influence because it is not encouraging you into natural growth to expand into your natural joy your natural peace your natural confidence how are we trapped into that relationship because we feel you need him or we feel this is all all we are if you're gonna progress it's gonna be little steps at a time handouts growing by installments when I'm here to point out your full nature yes to discover the fullness of what you are yes it will take some time to stabilize in it a bit but you can cross over back into yourself this is why I want you to come because you are not safe yet you see you are coming out but something is still listening don't let the devil Park is tongue in your ear saying what yeah but not yet as long as you believe this spice hmm it will still have more space to keep talking to you because you're not standing in your natural confidence you don't yet have a trust in life in your real self in God so like this you know you say yeah it's saying this but I say but you are aware of that okay if you are the awareness itself like you are the awareness itself mmm in which all these things even including the sense of your life until now as we lived and observable but you are not conscious of it I'm ask you to be conscious of it if I say stay only as the awareness itself does it connect with you with them my words yes but yes it's go ahead I don't feel the peace yes yes you have not claimed your peace it's not something that as a person yes I am now peaceful it's not like that you see stay only is the awareness itself in which the sense of the person and the voice this interactive presence which which is listening to the mind and and your self-assessments which especially as you began to wake up to a deeper truth of yourself you're going to find that even the struggles may seem even more strong like something you know you've been living under the Mafia's protection and now you want to step out yes I want to travel to another place [Music] what is this mafia see this belief of your inabilities none of your abilities and you say I can't feel anything at the moment this is fine this is fine it is no wonder when you've had a checklist like you had before what was your aspiration for what now as you are discovering said don't be holding on to any aspiration for anything at all in fact less broad meant to say if I think it include everybody in this hmm that if I were to ask you just for a few moments a few moments only do not hold on to anything at all any shape about yourself would you like to try this for a few moments yeah just as an and an exercise a beautiful exercise for just these few moments don't hold on to any shape or self description about who you are let's say that you can just be just be empty just leave everything aside just for a few moments it this is not a trick by the way mmm there's nothing this sub deceptive about it just for a few moments I want to show you something that perhaps you have not discovered yet if you leave everything even the aspiration for freedom everything aside just be entirely empty if everything that you are believed or that you desire or that you think about yourself or about life for just for a few moments just leave your engagement with these things for a while is it possible do you want to do it okay so let's do it let's just leave everything just alone for a few moments okay and I guarantee at the end of the exercise you can go and pick them back up again so but you must be willing to be just empty for a moment it's amazing that we can live a life of 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 years and not having come to a place where you're empty except in deep sleep but now I'm going to ask you consciously to be empty meaning don't hold on to anything don't have even any favourite concepts leave everything aside for a moment it's not difficult amazingly you can do it leave everything is outside from it aside so whatever you believed whatever you have accepted whatever you think whatever you imagine whatever you desire whatever you're tossed off just for a few moments if you were empty empty empty empty empty leave the senses senses are fine this is leave them as they are but all the things in memory in your intention desire just leave everything aside okay until there's nothing more to take out I said one time to someone just imagine week there was a hole in your eel and I could just take the little plug out and everything just go that she liked that also it said everything just leaks out all your concern all your your problems all your Joy's everything everything are just totally empty just be with that and don't just say okay we're playing this game no I really see that you can be empty as though you are in deep sleep but you're away okay now if everything that is not original to you every thought feeling was left aside okay there's something that is here that cannot be taken out you don't have to imagine because by being very empty you can immediately see we're here together like this okay so everything is left aside everything everything that is a thing every feeling every thought every object for a moment is left aside that you can be totally alone just for these few moments empty empty empty empty have you vanished now so that's whatever it is that is here okay all the memories of who you were and what you have done and what you want to do and all your connections and relatives and all these things diplomas and y'all your great victories and your deep defeats everything left left nothing nothing nothing no history like wiped delete for a few moments now I want you to look from where you are now don't hold any shape whatever is here now if everything is left aside for now are you here or not yes what is here now is it personal or impersonal please answer though you sure is it something this crisis an object does it have a shape or color or size really be present though is it's a mood is it a belief is it imagination here's a subtle one is it a feeling did it arrive here are you creating something whatever it is that is here is it being kept here by some force does it have a size I mean if we could go in and direction can you come to the end of it really be with this for now can it fade like yet week can it disappear can it be lost can it be sick depressed and you are not imagining is it a person is it an angel is it a particular place does it have seasons okay let me give you a tough one you know was it born tougher one can it die sure can it reject anyone does it belong to any particular religion more than anyone does it have a name they may ask something one thing though how close are you to it really this is your question one step two step is you separate from it is a trick is it a game so again I'm going to just summarize you are saying that whatever it is that's really here is not something that you create you're saying that it's not merely a mood or a feeling you're saying that it has no limits you're saying that it cannot be sick it cannot be depressed it cannot die you say it cannot fade you say it didn't come can it go you're saying units not your imagination I ask you is it a belief you say no it's not to believe I ask you can it reject anyone you say no it cannot reject anybody is there any place where it is not then I ask you this thing was it born you say no I say can it die you say no finally I think I ask you how close are you to it alpha step one step a few steps near or far you say no distance so if these things that you can verify a true what we are looking at and experiencing is yourself it must be your true self and it must be that your true self is not merely an object it's not merely the body it is not personal it is impersonal its imperishable uncreated it's beyond time beyond limitation it cannot be sick it's not that I get sick it cannot be depressed is it dad then this must be indeed a very magnificent discovery if it is true is it true does it have any conditions like for instance you better clean up your act on your way to do this before you can be this so what is to be done well there is something there must be a change in perspective how can this be true and at the same time we're deeply sorry that must be looked at and satsang is the place where we are looking at that because it appears as though something within us is convinced or is capable of being convinced we are not good enough we are not there you have made too many mistakes in your life so this thing is telling you wait outside you can't come in you are you know is it that this is saying this to you or this is whatever we believe is coming from somewhere else if I were to say if this is true would you correct me all behavior that we exhibits from the state of personhood must be revealing and that real live in some misconception about ourself but it is not fair to say this and that must change if knowing this that you have just discovered again hmm and yet there is a some remnant of belief which makes us feel like we have a life that you got to put right and these things are wrong can they both be true then we need to look at that is there a greater truth and a lesser truth then this is why the life we largely believe is our life is regarded by some as an illusion as a dream that we must wake up from like we like you had a dream in which you believe something for a long time and something is waking up from this dream in this example I am NOT saying to cynically isola Jean no because even the one who be saying that I saw dream dies or rubbish it's also stood in a dream if it fits at this if we are to be in this dream at least be awake in this trip sit with what you have confirmed spend a little time with it to look if this is so how can this also be so like this are there two realities we say also and that I want to kind of complete today a bit I don't think we have to spread many many questions everything is in what I've told you there is an expression that of they say the supreme consciousness is called brahman like the attribute Lescott got beyond the attributes and is got with attributes that which is beyond attributes we refer to as the absolute pure awareness uncreated imperishable unborn perfect some will say it is not the god of man's mind is the pure essence he's that and there is a Saguna we call this nagging brahman meaning that that beyond qualities beyond attributes pure appeared consciousness and we call saguna brahman as that very when appearing with attributes in this dynamic world of time and change and you and me and the interrelated opposites in the world and feel we call the world of duality which we know in a sense we are both when there is the belief I am this person it is consciousness believing I am person a belief it must outgrow by wisdom and discernment it is returning to its new gyoon Brahman self-realization and yet it cannot throw sulwon rahman away when one is aware of either of reaching the purity of saguna brahman or that they are aware of themselves as Negron brahman just like what we have just been discovering one brings light into the world it is not a selfish act is not some people seem to be just concerned about I need to be free and iiiii but some there dear universality is already expressing in such a broad way the love for others and the respect for each one is already shining in their lives their openness and wisdom is not to serve a personal realization it's a universal realization the realization of yourself does not belong to you it belongs to the whole world and yet I'm not saying go out and preach to know the Sun does not say look come to me I'll give you warmth I'm shining you will find you come there naturally hmm so all I say is continue you know don't run to be any teacher or a dozen ideas but you yourself prove yourself we are simply becoming ourself a strange thing to say because largely we are becoming everything other than ourselves we are returning to the truth of we are beyond concepts actually as experiential truth we have no objection to or prejudice against or you know resistance to other ways of discovering God because God means the universal consciousness all the different ways just like we have you know in each in each race in each tradition in each area of a human Kingdom there are different ways in which we live but everybody must eat everybody must sleep there's something that is fundamental to all you are discovering your fundamental nature but you're not a fundamentalist you are discovering your essential nature but it's not something that you can do just in your head it cannot be just an intellectual conviction and I point about this that first the intellect gets it and the ego often is living very near intellect and if you yes I caught it now I don't have to do anything but he carries a smell that is not true our attention must be internalized internal eternal tendency to gravitate towards you no problems with things and people and so on are signs that we are still captive in the lower nature and it's not simply oh I'm gonna give up the lower nature the way has been shown the mirror has been given for each one to discover afresh uniquely fade you for yourself the truth that dwells within you as your own real self and grace will help you grace is another name for the pure self as anything changed from what you've seen and yet out of the momentum of habit sometimes you may find again whoa you're into the noise of presser hood but something is aware that this is just an old reflex and habit and it's aware of that and in that moment it's as though you dismount meaning that you cut the drive you you log off and this will become increasingly Swift that you are not pulled into a delimited state of personhood as everybody got something from today I was saying before if you take a piece of metal and you have put it in the fire leave it in the fire for an hour or so it becomes glowing out you can take this piece of metal and touch things and set them on fire put fires around but after a while this is going to lose a seat you can put on your tongue and nothing if you are practicing or searching for truth and retain personal identity you're loyal to press the identity you'll find it you'll come to satsang you feel charged up but as you move about in daily life the power seems like it's leaving and it is good because freedom is free but it is not cheap when I say it's not cheap I'm not talking about money only a meaning that you must have that earnestness you must really have that that is your final desire is to be free to be what you are and you must stay with it because out of habits our attention is easily pulled out through the senses as though the mind is shopping through the senses for sense objects all the time and you must watch watch from this place but don't get lost in the movie of watching so what you're watching myself and your awareness self will not give any impression that's why I ask you will dis fade right it doesn't fade but as long as you have the idea that your person your person will keep fading and coming back is like a that you must observe when you can observe this hmm you'll be as though you're the fire itself or plugged into the powerhouse itself we get dissonant so satsang is going to be the nest where Buddha's are hatched where the Christ consciousness become alive again it's fantasy if you are determined to be happy nothing can stop you from being happy similarly if you are determined to be free nothing can stop you to be free except your own belief and the loyalty to personal identity have I told you any lies today we'll sit for a moment or two like this I will encourage and that we are not holding untrue to any shape or any idea because whatever shape you take the man will come to send you on another journey whatever movement or sensation is appearing inside your being your hustle every state of mind every attachment where any concept leads to some kind of functioning and it's fine but is the pure self a function so just be present without waiting waiting involves the mind just being present is to sit in your heart may what you have grasped today inside your heart flourish blossom and bear it done our fruit may all the challenges that come into mind add to your strength may you continue increasing in wisdom in discernment in love and blessedness and peace Oh I'm a your life each one just continue unfolding as a beautiful flow unmolested by the deceiving mind and our troubles will come challenges will come they're not coming as a sign of failure they actually come as a sign of God's love and that each one must grow thank you for today you [Music] [Music] you I surrendered in suddenly all my troubles are gone so hot you love your presence so much bees in what could I be without you [Music] I [Music] I [Music] [Music] there is false within me cuz you have passed away [Music] I I [Music] and if you [Music] in your heart I'm an ever-present [Music] you I felt to read something from ashtavakra gita and it is called the true seeker the wise man knows the self and he plays the game of life but the fool lives in the world like a beast of burden the true seeker feels no elation even in that exalted state which Indra and all the gods unhappily long for he understands the nature of things his heart is not smudged by right or wrong as the sky is not smudged by smoke he is pure of heart he knows the whole world is only the self so who can stop him from doing as he wishes of the four kinds of being from Brahma to a blade of grass only the wise one is strong enough to give up desire and the ration our rear is knowing he is the self he acts accordingly and is never fearful for he knows he is the self one without to the Lord of all creation thank you you
