You're sure that you exist, 28 00:02:04,270 --> 00:02:08,160 and that you are experiencing or perceiving. 29 00:02:11,470 --> 00:02:15,382 M: Do you agree or not? You know that you are? Q: Yes. 30 00:02:15,382 --> 00:02:18,195 M: And that you are experiencing?

Why is perceiving here? 35 00:02:30,271 --> 00:02:33,420 Because you are here, you exist. Now we must look. 36 00:02:33,420 --> 00:02:35,890 Leave everything that can come and go. 37 00:02:35,890 --> 00:02:40,567 Leave all of that now. Only you and perceiving. 38 00:02:40,567 --> 00:02:42,723 And, of you and perceiving, 39 00:02:42,723 --> 00:02:47,403 which is most true, if one has to go? 40 00:02:52,866 --> 00:02:54,946 Hmm? 41 00:02:57,530 --> 00:03:01,300 You say, 'I perceive'. 'I perceive.' 42 00:03:01,300 --> 00:03:03,960 So, 'I perceive', means every experiencing, 43 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,542 whatever is happening is perceived by this sense of 'I'. 44 00:03:08,542 --> 00:03:10,575 M: Yes? Q: Yes. 45 00:03:10,575 --> 00:03:14,730 M: So you could even say, 'I am not perceiving'. 46 00:03:14,730 --> 00:03:18,224 Which means, I'm perceiving that I'm not perceiving. 47 00:03:18,224 --> 00:03:21,350 I'm going to keep it clean and simple. 48 00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:23,360 So ... 49 00:03:27,570 --> 00:03:32,850 Speaker 1: Guruji, how about you're perceiving emptiness? 50 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,386 Q: Just when you say, 'What is more true?' 51 00:03:38,386 --> 00:03:42,223 I don't remember exactly what you said, like, 'You're perceiving?' 52 00:03:42,223 --> 00:03:44,762 M: You know that you exist. Q: Yes. 53 00:03:44,762 --> 00:03:48,960 M: And that you are perceiving or experiencing your perceiving 54 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,970 through the senses or the mind? 55 00:03:52,970 --> 00:03:55,700 If some inner state or outer states [come], 56 00:03:55,700 --> 00:04:00,700 that's being perceived by you. 57 00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:03,630 So everything that comes, can go. 58 00:04:03,630 --> 00:04:08,210 Mental states, emotional states, friends can come, 59 00:04:08,210 --> 00:04:11,266 people live, people stay, people die, 60 00:04:11,266 --> 00:04:13,670 you feel sickness, you feel health, 61 00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:17,530 you feel excitement, feel boredom, feel tired, feel energy. 62 00:04:17,530 --> 00:04:21,200 M: All this you perceive, and they come and go. 63 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:27,560 M: You who perceives them, 64 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,336 does that come and go? Is it personal? 65 00:04:32,336 --> 00:04:35,590 M: Also, personal states come. Q: Yes. 66 00:04:35,590 --> 00:04:40,070 M: So, that's also amongst the field of perceivable, isn't it? 67 00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:43,676 So even those things, and the feeling of 'I', 68 00:04:43,676 --> 00:04:48,490 and an autobiography, your ideas about life, 69 00:04:48,490 --> 00:04:52,420 all of those personal things, they are also perceived. Okay? 70 00:04:52,420 --> 00:04:56,680 M: And they can change shape, and their change is also perceived. 71 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,681 So they cannot be that which perceives them. 72 00:04:59,681 --> 00:05:02,070 M: That's true? Q: Yes. 73 00:05:02,070 --> 00:05:09,200 M: That which is perceiving, is it 74 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,910 material or immaterial? It's immaterial? 75 00:05:12,910 --> 00:05:16,270 Q: It's not material. M: It's not material. 76 00:05:16,270 --> 00:05:20,670 Q: I cannot say what it is.

Q: I'm looking. 79 00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:33,670 M: Obviously, the response is coming so fluidly and so comfortably, 80 00:05:33,670 --> 00:05:38,492 there's no strain to comment that all these things are being perceived. 81 00:05:38,492 --> 00:05:41,510 And that whatever is perceiving, 82 00:05:41,510 --> 00:05:46,110 itself cannot be perceived by a quality. 83 00:05:46,110 --> 00:05:51,600 Is it male or female? Is it any of these things? No. 84 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,659 So, answers, responses are coming from there. 85 00:06:02,230 --> 00:06:06,300 So even the responses are coming and they are also perceived, 86 00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:10,988 pouring out of some, whatever, something, or no thing. 87 00:06:10,988 --> 00:06:15,765 Q: I don't know if it's pouring out of something. It's perceived. 88 00:06:15,765 --> 00:06:19,630 M: Okay, they are appearing also, they appear. 89 00:06:19,630 --> 00:06:24,870 So that which is perceiving them, what is to be said of that? 90 00:06:24,870 --> 00:06:28,060 Is it a structure or no structure? 91 00:06:28,060 --> 00:06:33,030 Q: It's no structure. M: Okay. 92 00:06:33,030 --> 00:06:37,271 M: Is that significant for you? Q: It is significant. It is. 93 00:06:37,271 --> 00:06:44,300 M: Okay. Where does the problem start, if one starts? 94 00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:48,419 M: Is it a new skill that you developed? 95 00:06:51,260 --> 00:06:55,700 And anyone can apply [this]. It's not particular to you. 96 00:06:55,700 --> 00:07:00,202 It's for anyone. For everyone there's a sense of 'I', 'I Am', 97 00:07:00,202 --> 00:07:03,794 but it's quickly given to the body, 'I am this person', 98 00:07:03,794 --> 00:07:07,590 'I'm from Germany', 'I'm from this place', 'I'm a doctor', 99 00:07:07,590 --> 00:07:11,440 'I'm this and that and that', is acquired. 100 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,240 So it takes on the sense of being something identifiable. 101 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,180 But from your place, that is also a construct that is seen. 102 00:07:19,180 --> 00:07:22,370 The 'I' that is seeing them is not those things. 103 00:07:22,370 --> 00:07:25,632 You cannot say it is a doctor or a nurse, 104 00:07:25,632 --> 00:07:31,601 or it's 1.7 cm, 105 00:07:31,601 --> 00:07:37,440 170 cm, you know, it doesn't have any of those things. 106 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,654 What is it like unto itself? 107 00:07:40,654 --> 00:07:43,819 If it doesn't connect with points of perception 108 00:07:43,819 --> 00:07:48,099 or things to perceive; by itself? 109 00:07:51,929 --> 00:07:54,290 Q: It's not bothered by anything. 110 00:07:54,290 --> 00:07:57,850 M: Yes. Okay, bring the things back. 111 00:07:57,850 --> 00:08:00,870 M: Is it bothered by them? Q: No. 112 00:08:00,870 --> 00:08:04,719 Q: It is, if identity is missed. 113 00:08:04,719 --> 00:08:08,409 M: If identity? Q: Is not seen. 114 00:08:08,409 --> 00:08:11,970 M: So, identity brings all the trouble then? 115 00:08:11,970 --> 00:08:16,350 Q: Identifying brings all the trouble. But for who? 116 00:08:16,350 --> 00:08:21,410 M: Ah. Are you asking me about who? [laughter] 117 00:08:21,410 --> 00:08:27,370 M: You have to find out. Right here is good. 118 00:08:27,370 --> 00:08:32,448 Q: The trouble cannot be for that which is not touched by it. 119 00:08:32,448 --> 00:08:35,132 M: Yes. 120 00:08:35,132 --> 00:08:39,330 M: Is, 'That which is not touched by it' an object of perception? 121 00:08:39,330 --> 00:08:42,480 Q: No. M: Where is it? 122 00:08:45,170 --> 00:08:47,922 Q: It has no location. 123 00:08:49,592 --> 00:08:52,400 M: It has no problem? Q: It has no problem. 124 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:57,930 M: Okay, let's go to where the problems are. 125 00:08:57,930 --> 00:09:01,776 M: Why are you trying to solve a thing that has no problem? 126 00:09:01,776 --> 00:09:05,120 Q: 'Why try to solve a thing that has no problem?' 127 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,120 M: Yes. It has no problem! [laughter] 128 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,831 So where will we go now to find a problem? 129 00:09:10,831 --> 00:09:14,050 It is good. It's fine! We're looking and it's good. 130 00:09:14,050 --> 00:09:18,510 I don't want to feel, 'Ah! Yes. The end of the thing. Okay, I go now.' 131 00:09:18,510 --> 00:09:21,600 Because problems begin somewhere 132 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,370 and everyone is troubled by it. 133 00:09:24,370 --> 00:09:29,440 Who is the everyone? You must also find. 134 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:35,610 It appears that you are no one, and you are someone. 135 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,847 In this receding you come to, 136 00:09:49,847 --> 00:09:55,970 'Ah, actually, I am here. 'I', but 'I' as what is here?' 137 00:09:55,970 --> 00:09:59,060 Well, it's certainly not the person. 138 00:09:59,060 --> 00:10:03,563 It's not male or female. It's not Muslim or Christian. 139 00:10:03,563 --> 00:10:07,958 It's something ... Something, nothing about it. 140 00:10:07,958 --> 00:10:10,488 M: Is it a valuable discovery? Q: Yes. 141 00:10:10,488 --> 00:10:14,630 M: Yes. So that's not where problems are. Q: No. 142 00:10:14,630 --> 00:10:20,100 M: Okay. So where the problems come is in the place of identity, 143 00:10:20,100 --> 00:10:23,240 M: where, 'I am someone'. Q: Yes. 144 00:10:26,310 --> 00:10:30,784 M: Is there a way that this sense of being someone ... 145 00:10:30,784 --> 00:10:34,250 How does that look now from the place of your discovery? 146 00:10:34,250 --> 00:10:36,250 'Actually, fundamentally, 147 00:10:36,250 --> 00:10:39,740 I am not any of these things that have been spoken of.' 148 00:10:39,740 --> 00:10:46,356 How do the things ... The world of things, what is their value? 149 00:10:46,356 --> 00:10:48,640 They don't impact upon this, 150 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,970 but, somehow, this must be the cause of them playing, 151 00:10:51,970 --> 00:10:54,860 and here the sense 'I' is also there, 152 00:10:54,860 --> 00:10:59,776 and a very familiar feeling of 'I'. But is it stable? 153 00:10:59,776 --> 00:11:03,420 Is it always constant, this 'I', now, the second 'I'? 154 00:11:03,420 --> 00:11:07,108 Q: The moving 'I' is not constant. M: Yes. Yes. 155 00:11:07,108 --> 00:11:11,880 M: So is it not the moving 'I' who came to satsang? 156 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,210 Q: Yes. M: Yes. 157 00:11:17,380 --> 00:11:24,620 M: Because what? It cannot control its world. 158 00:11:24,620 --> 00:11:30,303 Q: And it's good it cannot, because I wouldn't, it wouldn't ... 159 00:11:30,303 --> 00:11:34,768 Q: It wouldn't find out what it really is if it could control anything. 160 00:11:34,768 --> 00:11:40,060 Like if there wouldn't be this trouble and this pain in this identifying, 161 00:11:40,060 --> 00:11:43,470 there would be no urge to ... 162 00:11:43,470 --> 00:11:48,130 M: So it must have an urge. It must have a drive. 163 00:11:48,130 --> 00:11:53,719 What is the drive of this 'I', which is the 'I'-person? 164 00:11:53,719 --> 00:11:55,720 Because all the human beings, 165 00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:03,610 we have this mask or sickness of 'I' -me. 'I'-me. 166 00:12:03,610 --> 00:12:07,200 What is the 'I'-me really in search of? 167 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,908 Everybody can take this. 168 00:12:09,908 --> 00:12:16,088 The 'I'-me, is it quiet and content and happily 'I'-me? 169 00:12:16,088 --> 00:12:19,130 No. So what does it want? 170 00:12:19,130 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 2: To be free of suffering. 171 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,520 M: It's to be free of suffering. 172 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,980 Only you? Only you? [murmurs in sangha] 173 00:12:26,980 --> 00:12:29,440 Oh, okay, okay. To be free of suffering. 174 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,900 M: What is it suffering from?

It's having some suffering. 177 00:12:41,290 --> 00:12:45,210 Q: But I'm not sure that this 'I', this identified one, 178 00:12:45,210 --> 00:12:47,471 wants to be at peace. 179 00:12:47,471 --> 00:12:49,669 M: Wants to be? Q: At peace. 180 00:12:49,669 --> 00:12:52,810 M: It doesn't want to be at peace? Q: I'm not sure. 181 00:12:52,810 --> 00:12:55,420 M: You speaking, now, are not that. 182 00:12:55,420 --> 00:12:58,444 M: Is that what you're saying? Q: Not being ...? 183 00:12:58,444 --> 00:13:03,770 M: Not the person; you're not sure if that person-self is really ... 184 00:13:03,770 --> 00:13:08,130 Who is speaking now? Just to be clear. And look. 185 00:13:08,130 --> 00:13:10,250 You're looking from where? 186 00:13:10,250 --> 00:13:15,160 From an identified place or a not identified place? 187 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:21,466 There is a feeling, 'I Am', I call it consciousness, 188 00:13:21,466 --> 00:13:27,429 that 'I Am'-ness, without strong identification with the personal sense, 189 00:13:27,429 --> 00:13:34,554 that is, I'm going to call it the Brahman, for the moment. 190 00:13:34,554 --> 00:13:38,410 Only because I can I have another word called Parabrahman. 191 00:13:38,410 --> 00:13:42,345 Would you understand? All right. So it is the consciousness. 192 00:13:42,345 --> 00:13:45,367 It is the guru state of being, 193 00:13:45,367 --> 00:13:48,147 which is all, for everybody, it is there. 194 00:13:48,147 --> 00:13:52,860 It is that in which the world of person and its world, and all of this, 195 00:13:52,860 --> 00:13:57,880 is seen from here, but is not disturbed by that. 196 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,710 And from this place, 'I Am' has the power, 197 00:14:01,710 --> 00:14:07,035 by looking into the realm of the 'I'-me and the 'I'-person, 198 00:14:07,035 --> 00:14:11,281 it imparts some grace to it, because in the form of the 'I'-person ... 199 00:14:11,281 --> 00:14:14,850 Are we following? It's good? In the form of the 'I'-person 200 00:14:14,850 --> 00:14:18,430 it is still consciousness, it's a mode of consciousness. 201 00:14:18,430 --> 00:14:22,178 And that sense of being, if you want to call it a soul ... 202 00:14:22,178 --> 00:14:25,510 Are we all right for the moment? Just working words. 203 00:14:25,510 --> 00:14:31,553 The soul, it has different characteristics. 204 00:14:31,553 --> 00:14:35,554 In India, they speak of the different gunas, 205 00:14:35,554 --> 00:14:38,090 which are kind of energetic qualities 206 00:14:38,090 --> 00:14:42,086 that affect the soul, some soul tendency. 207 00:14:42,086 --> 00:14:46,000 Q: Sorry, but the soul you call the person now? Or what? 208 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,275 M: Yes. Let me just continue and then you'll see. 209 00:14:49,275 --> 00:14:53,680 M: So then, the sense of being somebody, 210 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,016 an entity with characteristics, with a history, 211 00:14:57,016 --> 00:15:00,251 with association, with parents, with family, 212 00:15:00,251 --> 00:15:04,393 with all of these things, self-description, 213 00:15:04,393 --> 00:15:07,255 that makes you uniquely you. 214 00:15:07,255 --> 00:15:10,190 At least, for the time being, 215 00:15:10,190 --> 00:15:14,040 because also you keep changing what you say about yourself. 216 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,380 If you keep on writing an autobiography over a period of 20 years, 217 00:15:18,380 --> 00:15:22,400 it's going to keep changing; so the person is not stable. 218 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,400 Whereas, the 'I Am', 219 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,020 which generates the projection of the mind and person ... 220 00:15:28,020 --> 00:15:33,280 I'm going to call person and mind similar, for the moment. 221 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:38,010 If you want me to cover because it's good if you understand this thing, 222 00:15:38,010 --> 00:15:40,640 then it becomes more clear, no? 223 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:45,420 So the ... 224 00:15:45,420 --> 00:15:50,106 M: The personal state of consciousness is where all the conflicts can come. 225 00:15:50,106 --> 00:15:53,076 Desire can come. Pain, life, death, you and me. 226 00:15:53,076 --> 00:15:55,590 This, that, up, down, heaven, hell; 227 00:15:55,590 --> 00:15:58,710 all these things are in there, for the person. 228 00:15:58,710 --> 00:16:01,674 It's never a stable environment! 229 00:16:01,674 --> 00:16:04,870 And even unto itself, with nothing to interfere, 230 00:16:04,870 --> 00:16:07,100 it interferes with itself. 231 00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:09,893 It also suffers from its own, 'I'm lonely, 232 00:16:09,893 --> 00:16:12,230 I don't know what I'm going to do'. 233 00:16:12,230 --> 00:16:14,810 So it's never without trouble. 234 00:16:14,810 --> 00:16:20,832 But as it's also on a journey of this world, as we know it, 235 00:16:20,832 --> 00:16:25,100 each one is on a journey of self-discovery. 236 00:16:25,100 --> 00:16:27,760 It may not be conscious of it like that. 237 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,209 For a while, our urge for discovering things can be merely phenomenal. 238 00:16:32,209 --> 00:16:35,855 Like, 'I want to be a lawyer', 'A doctor', 'To be famous', 239 00:16:35,855 --> 00:16:39,105 'I want to be a singer', 'I want to be something'. 240 00:16:39,105 --> 00:16:43,500 And all this produces fruit. It's a power! It produces fruit. 241 00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:47,870 You may indeed become famous or rich, and all these kinds of things. 242 00:16:47,870 --> 00:16:51,539 But we are discovering, even those who became very rich, 243 00:16:51,539 --> 00:16:54,851 at some point they're not satisfied with being rich, 244 00:16:54,851 --> 00:16:57,370 as the whole system is built like that. 245 00:16:57,370 --> 00:17:00,780 You can never be really satisfied, 246 00:17:00,780 --> 00:17:05,580 really genuinely satisfied, until you're home. 247 00:17:05,580 --> 00:17:08,900 And 'home' means to be awake to your true nature, 248 00:17:08,900 --> 00:17:11,770 which is not somewhere else, not over there. 249 00:17:11,770 --> 00:17:16,220 It's like peeling away. 250 00:17:16,220 --> 00:17:20,540 So ... 251 00:17:20,540 --> 00:17:23,691 So my way of looking at it 252 00:17:23,691 --> 00:17:27,698 is that the person is the one who takes the journey, 253 00:17:27,698 --> 00:17:29,818 of life. 254 00:17:29,818 --> 00:17:31,836 And I would not say... 255 00:17:31,836 --> 00:17:36,516 In Advaita thought, 'The person doesn't exist', 'The mind doesn't exist', 256 00:17:36,516 --> 00:17:39,980 'The world doesn't exist' ... And ultimately it's true, 257 00:17:39,980 --> 00:17:43,075 but you must understand in what light it is true. 258 00:17:43,075 --> 00:17:47,958 Because when you say to beings who have a strong idea of self 259 00:17:47,958 --> 00:17:52,623 and who have a philosophy, have relief, have belief, all these things, 260 00:17:52,623 --> 00:17:54,904 'It's not true, it doesn't exist', 261 00:17:54,904 --> 00:17:58,760 it's very hurtful, you don't know ... 'What you're saying!' 262 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:03,150 Some can adopt that thing and indeed learn and take that attitude, 263 00:18:03,150 --> 00:18:07,831 but inside it's not true! Something has to be clear. 264 00:18:07,831 --> 00:18:14,050 So the sense of being someone, it is consciousness! 265 00:18:14,050 --> 00:18:16,794 When you say 'I', when you feel 'I' ... 266 00:18:16,794 --> 00:18:21,299 Because nobody gave you 'I'. Everything else you receive. 267 00:18:21,299 --> 00:18:25,558 Nobody ... Your parents didn't say, 'I'm going to name you 'I''. 268 00:18:25,558 --> 00:18:30,520 And yet all the beings have this intuitive self-reference of 'I'. 269 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,520 Not the English version. 270 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,250 So even mosquitoes have a feeling of 'I'. 271 00:18:36,250 --> 00:18:40,410 'I' points to existence, 'I exist'. That's what it really means. 272 00:18:40,410 --> 00:18:44,060 But the 'I'-person very rarely touches on this root, 273 00:18:44,060 --> 00:18:48,830 that it means existence and that it is conscious. 274 00:18:48,830 --> 00:18:53,326 It doesn't even know that it cannot die, as consciousness. 275 00:18:53,326 --> 00:18:56,010 Consciousness cannot die! 276 00:18:56,010 --> 00:19:00,210 But its belief, 'I am the body', can die. 277 00:19:00,210 --> 00:19:05,481 But it doesn't mean It dies. The body will die. 278 00:19:05,481 --> 00:19:07,790 But what you are cannot die. 279 00:19:07,790 --> 00:19:11,750 It will just transfer for more experiencing, 280 00:19:11,750 --> 00:19:14,260 if there are more things to experience. 281 00:19:14,260 --> 00:19:19,257 So this urge inside, with different beings in different bodies ... 282 00:19:19,257 --> 00:19:22,470 I put it like that, identities in different bodies, 283 00:19:22,470 --> 00:19:25,355 are on a journey, depending upon your maturity. 284 00:19:25,355 --> 00:19:27,560 Some people only want to be famous! 285 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,092 Or, 'I want 5 children.' 'To live in a beautiful house.' 286 00:19:31,092 --> 00:19:33,606 'I want enough money to do what I want.' 287 00:19:33,606 --> 00:19:37,680 Those desires are permitted by Parabrahman, by Paramatman, 288 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,988 that life gives the life in this. 289 00:19:39,988 --> 00:19:43,418 All desires can be had. Good and bad. 290 00:19:43,418 --> 00:19:46,300 And it will help you to fulfil your desires. 291 00:19:46,300 --> 00:19:49,335 Even a thief, He wants you to be a better thief. 292 00:19:49,335 --> 00:19:52,345 It gives the power to learn to be a better thief! 293 00:19:52,345 --> 00:19:55,888 As God has a use for you, as a great thief! [laughter] 294 00:19:55,888 --> 00:19:59,160 Because He is going to perfect the other ones, 295 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,490 who may be somewhere more evolved, through your thievery. 296 00:20:03,490 --> 00:20:08,840 They need this thievery to move on even more. 297 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:14,080 The whole thing is beautifully managed [laughter] 298 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,520 by Paramatman taking care of all things. 299 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,120 Not one thing goes missing. Not only for human beings, 300 00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:24,928 the ant kingdom, the bee kingdom, 301 00:20:24,928 --> 00:20:30,683 the horse and every kingdom. He is the God of all of them. 302 00:20:30,683 --> 00:20:34,100 They have their rules. They have their philosophies. 303 00:20:34,100 --> 00:20:37,770 They have their ways. They have their likes and dislikes. 304 00:20:37,770 --> 00:20:40,521 They have their urges and their suffering. 305 00:20:40,521 --> 00:20:43,240 Everything is evolving, somehow. 306 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,360 Let's stick to our world for a little bit. Okay? 307 00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:49,388 So in our world, this urge is there, 308 00:20:49,388 --> 00:20:51,950 and for a while, depending upon ... 309 00:20:51,950 --> 00:20:56,787 Because not all the beings are at the same level of maturity. 310 00:20:56,787 --> 00:21:01,477 He made it like that. He didn't say, 'All who are mature like that go here, 311 00:21:01,477 --> 00:21:05,230 and all of you mature ...' No, He mixes it up. And we fight. 312 00:21:05,230 --> 00:21:08,680 But we need it, also. Do you see? 313 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,010 I'm saying this so you don't complain about your life. 314 00:21:12,010 --> 00:21:15,390 Everything that's sent to you, if you take it only as, 315 00:21:15,390 --> 00:21:18,960 'This thing happened to me, I didn't do anything [to get] it'. 316 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,002 Actually, you earned it! 317 00:21:21,002 --> 00:21:26,750 And you have to make use of the experience of it to transcend in yourself. 318 00:21:26,750 --> 00:21:29,397 As you transcend in yourself 319 00:21:29,397 --> 00:21:32,870 your light becomes light for others also. 320 00:21:32,870 --> 00:21:36,637 But don't think like that, 'I am my light ...' [laughter] 321 00:21:36,637 --> 00:21:38,638 Do you understand? 322 00:21:38,638 --> 00:21:42,020 So, if you have this attitude, okay. 323 00:21:42,020 --> 00:21:46,160 But somehow this is needed, it's pointing out something. 324 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,189 Rather than, 'Oh, they are attacking me ...' 325 00:21:49,189 --> 00:21:53,060 The self, as a person, is also very myopic 326 00:21:53,060 --> 00:21:55,214 and very self-protecting. 327 00:21:55,214 --> 00:21:59,700 That's why he doesn't grow so quick, because it feels vulnerable. 328 00:21:59,700 --> 00:22:02,962 And when you're vulnerable it locks in 329 00:22:02,962 --> 00:22:05,627 and [mimics sniper shooting]. It locks in. 330 00:22:05,627 --> 00:22:10,339 When you see these things, you realise, '... But a deeper consciousness ...' 331 00:22:10,339 --> 00:22:13,900 She's just been speaking from this deeper consciousness, 332 00:22:13,900 --> 00:22:16,930 in which the sense of the person and its world 333 00:22:16,930 --> 00:22:19,110 are seen with more detachment. 334 00:22:19,110 --> 00:22:24,220 You say, 'But I speak with you ... But from here, I'm actually just fine.' 335 00:22:24,220 --> 00:22:28,660 What do you want? What do you need? 336 00:22:28,660 --> 00:22:32,390 What is your problem? 'Actually, here, nothing actually.' 337 00:22:32,390 --> 00:22:35,190 For a problem, I have to go back over there. 338 00:22:35,190 --> 00:22:38,261 And over there is in the state of the person. 339 00:22:38,261 --> 00:22:41,856 'My neighbours', and, 'My relationship'. 'And things ...' 340 00:22:41,856 --> 00:22:46,321 And, 'Will I get enough money and ...' These are the woes of the person. 341 00:22:46,321 --> 00:22:49,099 They are here to make you grow. To help you. 342 00:22:49,099 --> 00:22:52,060 When you see and understand this a little bit, 343 00:22:52,060 --> 00:22:55,787 you don't get angry, 'Oh, it's them'. 'They are the cause.' 344 00:22:55,787 --> 00:22:57,787 But you use it. 345 00:22:57,787 --> 00:23:03,624 But when you come here, I want to fast forward! Which you can. 346 00:23:03,624 --> 00:23:05,900 You can go tick tock, tick tock ... 347 00:23:05,900 --> 00:23:10,120 Or you can somehow come into big seeing. 348 00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:16,500 You can travel in footsteps. Or you can travel by galaxies. 349 00:23:16,500 --> 00:23:20,601 So here, I feel, and I assume, you may correct me, 350 00:23:20,601 --> 00:23:24,545 that when you come here, there is, within you, the capacity 351 00:23:24,545 --> 00:23:27,860 to [exhales], to flower into higher states. 352 00:23:27,860 --> 00:23:30,048 When you realise, 'Wait a second, 353 00:23:30,048 --> 00:23:33,940 I'm kind of wasting my time in the person, quite a lot. 354 00:23:33,940 --> 00:23:38,650 Because now I'm aware of myself in consciousness, as consciousness.' 355 00:23:38,650 --> 00:23:40,675 And what happens by that? 356 00:23:40,675 --> 00:23:43,765 Well, as you learn to observe, as I've shown, 357 00:23:43,765 --> 00:23:47,310 learn to observe things more, as we're too identified. 358 00:23:47,310 --> 00:23:49,510 If you're identified you slow down. 359 00:23:49,510 --> 00:23:52,668 And what happens? You start to accumulate concepts. 360 00:23:52,668 --> 00:23:55,100 And the more concepts you accumulate, 361 00:23:55,100 --> 00:24:00,890 the more opaque you become, the more solid, the more rigid. 362 00:24:00,890 --> 00:24:04,020 If you know people who have a pile of concepts, 363 00:24:04,020 --> 00:24:08,486 their concepts and your concepts can't dance. 'No, no, whoa, whoa.' 364 00:24:08,486 --> 00:24:11,440 Even family can be like this. 365 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:16,808 So, what you will earn is, by observing with detachment, 366 00:24:16,808 --> 00:24:21,750 learning to look and see if you can catch this seeing, 367 00:24:21,750 --> 00:24:24,460 where even your person, 368 00:24:24,460 --> 00:24:32,370 your person, the subject of all your world, is itself seen! 369 00:24:32,370 --> 00:24:35,699 When you can see, you can say, 'Whoa!' 370 00:24:35,699 --> 00:24:39,410 It's not just a world, but the personal self 371 00:24:39,410 --> 00:24:42,280 that has the reflection of that world. 372 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:47,160 They are, I say, two sides of one coin. They go together. 373 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,801 Your mistake has been your identifying yourself and feeling, 374 00:24:51,801 --> 00:24:55,748 'But it's the world, everything is wrong there. It's not me.' 375 00:24:55,748 --> 00:24:57,750 What makes you do that? 376 00:24:57,750 --> 00:25:01,140 It's because your person also goes by the title of 'I'. 377 00:25:01,140 --> 00:25:06,481 And 'I' means God! Do you understand? 378 00:25:06,481 --> 00:25:12,691 Your 'I' is consciousness, which is the godly principle. 379 00:25:12,691 --> 00:25:17,796 Then you understand this 'I', the 'I'-me, and the 'I'-'I', or the 'I am'. 380 00:25:17,796 --> 00:25:19,800 You see the difference. 381 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:24,400 When we go into 'I'-me, all your life struggles, 'This, I can't get ...', 382 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,730 'This one is sick and ...' It is strong! It is strong. 383 00:25:27,730 --> 00:25:31,330 It didn't have its origin in one body life-form. 384 00:25:31,330 --> 00:25:34,112 It's been going on for a long time. 385 00:25:34,112 --> 00:25:38,360 But gradually, it's growing through, what I call, the 'guna field'. 386 00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:42,520 'Gunas' mean some energy which is ... 387 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:49,243 Tamasic guna means when the entity of self is more resistant 388 00:25:49,243 --> 00:25:52,781 and more easily troubled 389 00:25:52,781 --> 00:25:56,528 and full of identity and resistance, 390 00:25:56,528 --> 00:25:59,830 that's called tamasic guna, tama guna. 391 00:25:59,830 --> 00:26:02,283 Then the energy, the entity's energy, 392 00:26:02,283 --> 00:26:06,030 can also have something you can call raja guna, 393 00:26:06,030 --> 00:26:09,840 which means the soul is more energetic, it's full of desire. 394 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,790 It wants to do things, it's adventurous. It has many ideas ... 395 00:26:13,790 --> 00:26:18,212 And then, also, another guna, called sattva guna. 396 00:26:18,212 --> 00:26:20,368 Sattva guna is more pure, 397 00:26:20,368 --> 00:26:24,160 meaning the energy field is more attracted to spirit. 398 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,890 It wants to evolve in consciousness. It wants to realise. 399 00:26:27,890 --> 00:26:32,230 These gunas are playing within the beingness. 400 00:26:32,230 --> 00:26:36,470 Some gunas have more ascendance, more strong in one. 401 00:26:36,470 --> 00:26:39,630 Another is stronger in another one. It's like this. 402 00:26:39,630 --> 00:26:42,140 So all of you, I say, 403 00:26:42,140 --> 00:26:48,040 you must be exhibiting some stronger sattva guna. 404 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:53,290 But you have raja guna in there, pulling at your tail. [laughter] 405 00:26:53,290 --> 00:26:58,910 And sometimes tamas guna, 'Uhh' [tuts]. [mimics despair] 406 00:26:58,910 --> 00:27:01,250 It's all part of it. [laughter] 407 00:27:01,250 --> 00:27:05,070 It's a kind of fun way of looking, no? [laughter] 408 00:27:05,070 --> 00:27:08,382 It's not that funny, actually. [more laughter] 409 00:27:08,382 --> 00:27:10,450 But we understand a little bit. 410 00:27:10,450 --> 00:27:14,970 So, somehow to come to satsang, 411 00:27:14,970 --> 00:27:17,703 without anyone pressuring you to do that, 412 00:27:17,703 --> 00:27:21,030 means your soul is attracted, a bit, towards it. 413 00:27:21,030 --> 00:27:24,690 And the more you find out, and not just intellectually, 414 00:27:24,690 --> 00:27:29,420 but begin to experience your understanding, experiential understanding, 415 00:27:29,420 --> 00:27:32,110 you're encouraged within yourself. 416 00:27:32,110 --> 00:27:35,080 You're falling in love. 417 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:39,758 If you fall in love with someone and you're really falling in love deeply, 418 00:27:39,758 --> 00:27:44,651 you will require nobody to remind you to remember your beloved. 419 00:27:44,651 --> 00:27:48,429 The urge comes from inside, it's pulling, 420 00:27:48,429 --> 00:27:53,710 always, whatever you're doing you're thinking ... [laughter] 421 00:27:53,710 --> 00:27:57,440 So your own Self, your own heart is becoming the beloved 422 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:02,060 of the sense of your person. 423 00:28:02,060 --> 00:28:06,640 It's in the sattva guna. It's drawing more and more. 424 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:12,020 After sattva guna what happens? 425 00:28:12,020 --> 00:28:18,307 They call one state 'turiya', which means becoming clean, 426 00:28:18,307 --> 00:28:20,980 functioning more from consciousness. 427 00:28:20,980 --> 00:28:24,545 The lower states don't trouble you, they don't trouble. 428 00:28:24,545 --> 00:28:28,830 Identity doesn't trouble you. At some point it won't trouble you. 429 00:28:28,830 --> 00:28:31,366 People call you, 'So you are Paulette?' 430 00:28:31,366 --> 00:28:34,250 'Yes, it's my name.' You still use the name. 431 00:28:34,250 --> 00:28:38,750 When you wake up fully into yourself, you will not have to change name. 432 00:28:38,750 --> 00:28:42,429 You don't have to call yourself Parabrahman, 433 00:28:42,429 --> 00:28:44,539 or some wonderful name. 434 00:28:44,539 --> 00:28:46,870 You can still use your name. 435 00:28:46,870 --> 00:28:50,280 But you are not this name. 436 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:55,410 You see, it's like, somehow, something's unfolding. 437 00:28:55,410 --> 00:28:57,730 Concepts don't stick with you. 438 00:28:57,730 --> 00:29:01,670 The more they don't stick with you, they're not so important. 439 00:29:01,670 --> 00:29:03,835 Then all is available for you! 440 00:29:03,835 --> 00:29:07,834 You can listen without having to decide, 441 00:29:07,834 --> 00:29:12,259 'No, I believe in this. What do you believe? What is your standpoint?' 442 00:29:12,259 --> 00:29:17,320 It doesn't matter, actually, because you're in the all-ness of your being. 443 00:29:20,250 --> 00:29:24,630 Is it okay that we're talking like this? Let's clear the field. Okay? 444 00:29:24,630 --> 00:29:27,556 M: We're sweeping the house, so you understand. 445 00:29:27,556 --> 00:29:32,200 M: When you say, '... I don't know why I keep getting these things' ... 446 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:37,405 That relationship-building is sticky. 447 00:29:37,405 --> 00:29:41,924 So I don't say, I'll show you how to solve that problem, that problem ... 448 00:29:41,924 --> 00:29:44,010 I say, No. Learn something! 449 00:29:44,010 --> 00:29:49,770 Learn to observe your sense of identity, and its likes and dislikes, 450 00:29:49,770 --> 00:29:54,245 but with some distance. Learn. You can see! 451 00:29:54,245 --> 00:29:56,680 And learn to detach. 452 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,700 And what did I say? 453 00:29:58,700 --> 00:30:04,936 Should I say 99.9 percent of the things in the world do not trouble you? 454 00:30:04,936 --> 00:30:09,380 Which means you can walk anywhere in the world; things don't [attach]. 455 00:30:09,380 --> 00:30:13,170 No, you can move. It's natural detachment! 456 00:30:13,170 --> 00:30:18,450 But the 0.1 percent [laughter] of the things that matter, 457 00:30:18,450 --> 00:30:21,570 'Oh, yeah. But no, no, whoa, I don't like pink!' 458 00:30:21,570 --> 00:30:25,407 [imitates repulsion] 'Not me!' 'I don't like this!' 459 00:30:25,407 --> 00:30:28,570 'Peacock feathers!' 'Oh, keep that away from me!' 460 00:30:28,570 --> 00:30:33,225 All this kind of stuff keeps you tied up in the shape of the person. 461 00:30:33,225 --> 00:30:37,620 You may feel proud, 'I'm this kind of person, not that kind of person'. 462 00:30:37,620 --> 00:30:41,950 We don't realise how we cheat 463 00:30:41,950 --> 00:30:47,320 and shrink from our beauty. 464 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:52,040 All of this is you! 465 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:56,818 You will never learn and really ... 466 00:30:56,818 --> 00:31:03,853 Love everyone! Even those not yet born, you love. 467 00:31:03,853 --> 00:31:09,960 'Oh, no, but I've never seen them. Oh, I didn't know.' No, no! 468 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,040 Do you understand? Because it's your nature. 469 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,030 It's not just your choice. 470 00:31:16,030 --> 00:31:19,240 And so I say, What is the simple thing? 471 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:24,601 Learn to observe, more and more, with detachment. Learn to see. 472 00:31:24,601 --> 00:31:28,150 The mind, the maya-mind says, 'No, that's wasting time. 473 00:31:28,150 --> 00:31:30,538 I don't get anything from doing that. 474 00:31:30,538 --> 00:31:35,330 I fall asleep. Whenever I try to look without attachment, I fall asleep. 475 00:31:35,330 --> 00:31:38,520 Even here when we did the 'Just Be' exercise ...' 476 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,790 Ding dong! I say like this ... [mimics falling asleep] [laughter] 477 00:31:42,790 --> 00:31:46,590 You just woke up! [laughter] 478 00:31:46,590 --> 00:31:52,780 What is this? It is a kind of psychic resistance. It's in us. 479 00:31:52,780 --> 00:31:55,226 It's something that is trying to resist 480 00:31:55,226 --> 00:31:57,970 the coming into the fullness of yourself. 481 00:31:57,970 --> 00:32:01,490 It's a force, this maya force, it's a little resistance. 482 00:32:01,490 --> 00:32:04,550 But don't be worried. It will soon change. 483 00:32:04,550 --> 00:32:09,894 The minute you begin to feel the darshan of your own heart 484 00:32:09,894 --> 00:32:13,590 [deep inhale and exhale] there's so much encouragement. 485 00:32:13,590 --> 00:32:16,800 But you must earn it! 486 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,338 And what the teacher will do is teach this thing, 487 00:32:20,338 --> 00:32:24,460 but you have to be on board! 488 00:32:24,460 --> 00:32:28,340 You have to be on board. You have to be there. 489 00:32:28,340 --> 00:32:33,000 Because even greatest guru cannot help you if your heart's not on board. 490 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,076 You must work for it. And look what it is, also! 491 00:32:36,076 --> 00:32:41,020 It's very mystical. But it's not difficult. 492 00:32:41,020 --> 00:32:43,160 The path has been made so clean. 493 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,890 The higher you go, the purer the climate, 494 00:32:45,890 --> 00:32:48,980 the simpler the advice, if you can take it. 495 00:32:48,980 --> 00:32:51,220 But the stronger the resistance! 496 00:32:51,220 --> 00:32:54,741 Because your earth self [mimics resistance] is fighting. 497 00:32:54,741 --> 00:32:58,530 It's lazy. 'Argh.' It's like this. You have to watch him. 498 00:32:58,530 --> 00:33:02,776 You have to learn to observe this, okay? And press on. 499 00:33:02,776 --> 00:33:05,780 And what you have, you may say at some point, 500 00:33:05,780 --> 00:33:10,620 'I have nothing to encourage me because my mind is just killing me ...'. 501 00:33:10,620 --> 00:33:15,500 And some people say, 'But Guruji told you to do it'. 502 00:33:15,500 --> 00:33:18,260 'Yes, yes. Yeah, yeah, I'll do it.' 503 00:33:18,260 --> 00:33:20,913 Why? Because you have faith. 504 00:33:20,913 --> 00:33:24,770 And enough faith to give you some strength, some courage. 505 00:33:24,770 --> 00:33:29,942 Then also life, the source, empowers you, because you chose. 506 00:33:29,942 --> 00:33:32,693 When you choose ... You've chosen many things, 507 00:33:32,693 --> 00:33:35,610 you can keep on choosing many things in life, 508 00:33:35,610 --> 00:33:40,660 but you're choosing the Supreme! 509 00:33:40,660 --> 00:33:45,600 You're choosing God-consciousness, you're choosing the Self. 510 00:33:47,540 --> 00:33:52,580 When I speak like this, I get touched, you see? 511 00:33:52,580 --> 00:33:55,250 If you choose This, 512 00:33:55,250 --> 00:34:00,100 then you are really making use of this life-form. 513 00:34:00,100 --> 00:34:04,980 Because you can choose many things, and they will delay you. 514 00:34:04,980 --> 00:34:08,266 And it's okay! You like this thing. You like that. 515 00:34:08,266 --> 00:34:10,600 It's freedom. It's okay, it's okay. 516 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:18,260 But if you have, in your heart, this choice, 517 00:34:18,260 --> 00:34:23,060 then you have taken the highest choice! 518 00:34:23,060 --> 00:34:25,740 And you will be tested! 519 00:34:25,740 --> 00:34:31,050 And you must pass this test. 520 00:34:31,050 --> 00:34:35,809 And then all the grace of Parabrahman comes for you. 521 00:34:39,110 --> 00:34:41,640 If you say, 'I went around the corner, 522 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,770 somebody went, 'Boo!' I don't want to go there.' 523 00:34:44,770 --> 00:34:47,810 Then you come, 'Guruji what is the highest?' 524 00:34:47,810 --> 00:34:54,858 I'd say, You didn't even pass the lowest! [laughter] 525 00:34:54,858 --> 00:34:56,860 M: You want the highest. 526 00:34:56,860 --> 00:35:00,860 I say, a little person comes, says, 'Look at you. Oh, no, no.' 527 00:35:00,860 --> 00:35:05,616 And you're [imitates despair]. I say, but it's small things. 528 00:35:05,616 --> 00:35:10,318 How are you going to overcome?
