Where is the light?
Without looking its reflection
on an object, you can't see.
Light you can't see
unless it reflects on some object,
maybe persons, maybe mountains,
maybe animals,
then you see light...
otherwise ???
This consciousness,
how you become different?
You see, there is calm ocean;
ocean is calm, no waves.
It has potentiality.
Waves are within the ocean.
It's a calm ocean.
When the wave rises,
it finds itself the she's
separate from the ocean.
Why? Name. Form.
So consciousness, how you separate
yourself from consciousness?
How?
How you separate yourself
(from) consciousness
and gather here to return to consciousness?
What's the difficulty here?
Let us explain.
The consciousness, when it reflects
within the consciousness
it will shine as consciousness itself.
There arises the notion.
Consciousness reflecting
into the consciousness
and shining as consciousness,
there arise notion:
'I am'.
You have separated from
consciousness which has
no name and no form.
The notion 'I am' instantly
creates this manifestation.
You begin with earth,
water, fire, air, ether,
and then objects, you see.
We see the differences.
We see difference.
And we see the difference
because of names and forms.
The consciousness is reflecting,
is on the objects that it has
created with the notion 'I am.'
All manifestation,
with everything, with Creator
up to the blade of grass.
Everything that 'I am' has to live???
When there are clouds in the space,
how this space disturbed?
With the movement of the cloud,
the space is not disturbed, you see.
So, likewise, this consciousness,
which has no name and no form,
is not disturbed.
So, many people, like other-ness;
this 'I am' looks like the other-ness,
is created in the form of waves,
and ripples, and eddies,
so many things.
Clearly, seeing
there is no difference
between anybody and
the consciousness.
The wise man,
howsoever may be wise,
he is ignorant if he does not find
that he is Consciousness,
he is Emptiness, he is Self,
he is Absolute Brahman.
He is termed as ignorant.
This is ignorance.
And this is,
superimposition is a notion
that has been created.
Actually nothing is out
of Consciousness.
Nothing is out of Absoluteness.
You, this is imagination that you
conceive that you are
separate from your own Self.
How can it be possible?
Where did you get this
notion, "I am separate,"
and then get into
never-ending suffering?
Then you create your own
cycle of birth and death
and never-ending suffering, you see.
This notion also does not exist.
This also does not exist.
This universe has never been created.
There are no forms
and there are no names.
This is your own creation.
When you are quiet you don't
see the manifestation,
and you say, "I am happy."
This happiness is
your own nature, you see.
You are That.
So, how you become entangled with,
"I am not consciousness.
I am separate"?
Where did you borrow this concept
of separateness and suffer?
Once you rid yourself
of this notion of separation
you are free here and now.
You have not to wait.
You have not to wait for time.
And there is no time also here
when you make up your mind.
You have to only return back,
return back to your own status,
before this trouble created
by your own self, you see.
So, if you,
if you see the very source
of the emergence of 'I am' notion,
you will instantly see who you are.
So, go back to the original notion
that arose from the nameless,
and formless, calm, waveless ocean.
Go back,
return at the source of 'I Am'.
What do you see?
You,
you will return to your own
original Eternal state.
That's all you have to do.
Why hang on to suffering?
This is in your own hand.
As you made a choice to separate,
you can now make a choice
to remove the separation.
This separation can be removed
as soon as you decide
to return here.
It doesn't need any practice,
any time,
any tradition,
any teaching.
This alone (is a) personal endeavour
to cross this ocean,
endless ocean called ghost of samsara.
The child sees a ghost in the room.
Actually, ghost does not exist.
This ghost also does not exist.
Your own creation here.
Look unto your own Self.
Look unto your own Self
and be happy and peaceful.
That is all.
So, you don't see it,
as you don't see light,
unless you see an object
you don't see that, you see.
Like this, consciousness
only when it reflects on your
own notion of separation
then only you can.
You cannot see consciousness,
you cannot see the light
unless there is an object.
As in the crystal,
you see the reflected image,
in a crystal it looks very real;
very real.
In the mirror, you see your face;
very real in front of you.
In the mirror, you look your face;
very real.
But if the mirror is placed
in front of the mirror,
what is seen there?
Mirror in front of mirror;
what do you see?
Reflection of the one mirror,
the same reflection from the other mirror.
This is, this is consciousness.
When you look,
when you look mirror, consciousness
onto the onsciousness,
it shines only as consciousness
and nothing else, you see.
So, from the beginning,
from the beginning you are free.
Just for your own pleasure,
for your own game you have
created all this manifestation,
and you forgot.
In the game you forgot,
and starts over.
This was your own creation.
You created it, you see, to play.
You can't stay alone.
This was boredom, so you created
all these things yourself, you see.
You forgot it,
and became miserable.
Child goes on the beach,
on the sand, he plays on the sand.
He makes houses
and makes gardens.
...As one ??? you may have played on the beaches, you see.
And then they cook food also.
All of sand.
And they get so much lost
and attached to that,
they don't like to return home.
When the mother tells,
"It's so dark, let's go back home,"
what the children do?
They have been very happy
with their own houses,
with their own gardens
and kitchen and food,
they're inviting friends also.
The mother says, "We are getting late,"
and with the same child
destroys with his foot
everything that is constructed.
And he is happy with his destruction.
He is as happy as he was with the
construction of the houses, you see.
Only reminder is necessary.
The mother reminded,
"Getting late; let us come home."
And the child enjoyed
the same happiness,
destroying all, all it
had made, you see.
Same pleasure; more pleasure.
"Come on, let's go."
Like this, you see, you will see,
you will be very happy.
Never have you seen peace.
When you remove all this
notion of separation
you will become one
with absolute fullness,
perfection, fulfillment.
In limitlessness,
what is there that you need?
You are perfect. You are full.
Emperor of emperors.
You are full.
You can't have any desire to acquire
this apartment and that apartment.
You know all the land belongs to you.
So, how simple it is.
They say it is.
To know your own Self, to return
to your own consciousness,
to be at peace,
is the happiest event that
a man can do in the world.
Because you have not
to go anywhere else,
you have not to do anything
to return to your own Self nature.
Easiest, easiest of all, it is said,
it is most easy.
You have not to do anything.
Not even to give rise to any thought.
To that extent you have not to exert.
No effort, even to think, you see.
Other things you have to think,
and then you have to put
yourself into that business,
and then do, and get lost in that.
But here, you try.
When you do not give rise even to thought;
even that is too much.
Even to twinkle your eye, even that is
nothing, it's too much effort for you,
even to twinkle an eye.
Even to breathe is too much effort.
Even between two breaths.
You find your own nature.
There cannot be anything else more,
more easier than to be at peace,
than to get disturbed.
For disturbance, you have to get
so many things in front of you,
digging from the past.
And then only you suffer, you see.
Bringing so many things in front
of you, and you disturb your peace.
But here, you have not to do anything.
You may try.
Just don't think.
Tell me if you suffer.
How, how much is it?
Without doing anything you are happy.
But with doing anything,
that brings you hell.
Anything we bring in this peace,
it brings hell.
First of all, it brought
the manifestation.
With a single thought
it brought total manifestation with the beginning not known. Millions of years.
And it continued millions
of years of future.
That much you have created by single, only creating this, this notion, that 'I'.
That's all.
if you don't address yourself as 'I,'
let us see what happens.
Anybody of you try.
Don't address, don't give rise
to this ripple 'I,' this notion 'I.'
Look before the rise of this notion
and tell me, tell me:
How do you suffer?
Who is suffering?
Who are you?
Could there be anything easier than this?
Even just to eat
you have to go to a restaurant
and then wait there,
and call, and see the menu,
then call the waiter,
and waste time.
Here, wherever you are,
just spend only few seconds.
They say, "How much time is
needed to find this peace?"
How much time? What is it?
Who were you and what you have
become? Total manifestation.
For instance,
you see, pick up a mustard seed
in your hand, mustard seed.
Do you understand mustard seed
or any rai seed?
Or any,
any, any similar seed or any seed;
pick up that seed.
Smallest item is a seed, no?
Mustard seed is oilier.
Or
some other seed, minute seed.
So take that seed,
divide it into two.
I'm taking you to your own Self
by this simile.
Divide it into two.
Take this half of, half quarter.
Divide it.
Then subdivide it into
one-thousand parts again.
You have seen mustard seed,
or may I show you first of all?
Have you seen, all of you,
mustard seed? No?
You can take one mustard seed.
Just, just to pick up.
so that you will understand
what you have to concentrate upon.
So subtle. So subtle.
Yes. One only.. Not all of it.
Show them this.
This is what?
This is a mustard seed, you see.
Can you take it?
See, this is a mustard seed.
This. Have you seen this?
This is a mustard seed, okay?
Keep it in your hand.
Divide it into half.
Divide it into half.
Take half of it,
subdivide it into
one thousand parts.
Take one of the thousand part,
subdivide it into one million parts.
One million parts of this.
Then one of ten thousandth of one
ten thousandth, one million times.
Because you can't, you can't.
Nothing will disappear.
There may be something,
some particle.
Nothing can be destroyed
in this world, you see.
Further divide it:
million times.
If this concept comes,
if you have done it
even by imagination,
concentrate on that,
if you want to do anything.
If you want to do practice,
concentrate on that:
one billionth part
of a mustard seed.
Concentrate on that
and tell me what do you see?
Where is the seer?
And where is the seen?
So much subtle is your force
from where emerges this 'I'
and then the manifestation into this 'I.'
Within the seed, there is a whole tree.
Sprout in the tree, in the seed sprouts
tree with the same fruits and the seed.
This is the matter.
From nothingness, you see.
How can you see your Self unless
you have a concept of emptiness?
How you can see anything?
Tell me.
Even your own body,
how can you see
unless you see the background
of emptiness, you see?
You can't see.
And that you are yourself.
So here, there's no chance
of even mind thinking anything.
This...
You can't even think what you are, therefore give up this process.
Because you think
you are in this trouble, in this problem,
because of thinking, you see.
So, give up this thinking and see.
Give it a try anytime you like.
