1
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
1
00:00:18,340 --> 00:00:21,251
M: Can I just read it out?
Q1: Yes.

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
2
00:00:21,251 --> 00:00:23,360
M: You write, 'Dear Guruji.

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
3
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,470
I am too ashamed and afraid to speak to you.

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
4
00:00:27,470 --> 00:00:31,880
I don't know how to observe with detachment.

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
5
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,520
I don't know how to be aware that I am aware.

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
6
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:40,100
I still see this 'I' identity as real.
Please help me.'

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
7
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:42,880
It's very, very honest thing.

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
8
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,706
I wish people would write more like this and say.

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
9
00:00:45,706 --> 00:00:49,390
Because some people,
they hold back and they don't say.

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
10
00:00:49,390 --> 00:00:51,660
So I appreciate that you can say it,

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
11
00:00:51,660 --> 00:00:54,640
because I can kind of have a chance

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
12
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,710
to share with you in a simple way.

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
13
00:00:59,470 --> 00:01:04,940
[Mooji reads] 'I don't know how to 
observe with detachment.'

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
14
00:01:07,460 --> 00:01:12,490
Actually, we are observing with detachment
on many things,

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
15
00:01:12,490 --> 00:01:16,373
if they don't matter to you, you understand?

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
16
00:01:16,373 --> 00:01:19,330
If things don't matter to you, 
you still see them,

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
17
00:01:19,330 --> 00:01:21,840
but you're not distracted by them.

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
18
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,610
Everybody same, same thing.
So that's the first part.

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
19
00:01:25,610 --> 00:01:28,970
There is no such thing as 
not observing with detachment.

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
20
00:01:28,970 --> 00:01:33,940
If suppose everything you see,
every situation you had,

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
21
00:01:33,940 --> 00:01:36,820
you had to remember. It's just alive in you.

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
22
00:01:36,820 --> 00:01:40,070
We'll be completely crazy.
Nobody can do.

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
23
00:01:40,070 --> 00:01:46,460
There is the mechanism 
of our true natural state,

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
24
00:01:46,460 --> 00:01:50,000
it's working all the time to,

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
25
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,880
like you can walk through here,
walk up there,

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
26
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,200
you don't have to notice every step.
You don't notice everything.

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
27
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,070
You meet a person, 'Hi. Good morning.' 
Pass, pass. You don't have to retain that.

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
28
00:02:01,070 --> 00:02:07,949
So a natural detachment 
is functioning inside us.

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
29
00:02:10,980 --> 00:02:15,260
It's already there, detachment.

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
30
00:02:15,260 --> 00:02:19,890
If we were not able to detach 
and yet we are perceiving,

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
31
00:02:19,890 --> 00:02:22,940
we would be in trouble,

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
32
00:02:22,940 --> 00:02:30,330
So first of all, know that it's natural 
that you meet people—

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
33
00:02:30,330 --> 00:02:34,830
it's the things that matter to you

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
34
00:02:34,830 --> 00:02:39,290
that you start to become more attached to,

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
35
00:02:39,290 --> 00:02:42,610
like it has meaning 
and so I have to remember this thing.

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
36
00:02:42,610 --> 00:02:47,096
So it's almost like 
you take a kind of photograph

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
37
00:02:47,096 --> 00:02:49,990
in some kind of way inside,
it's like that matters,

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
38
00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:52,110
so then it become important.

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
39
00:02:52,110 --> 00:02:57,680
So like this, when you say,
'I don't know how to observe with detachment.'

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
40
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:05,570
If I say, But you're doing it anyway 
with many things.

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
41
00:03:05,570 --> 00:03:08,340
If I walk through from the front
to the back here,

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
42
00:03:08,340 --> 00:03:12,960
and I say to everybody as we're walking through,
Be detached from everything,

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
43
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,340
then it becomes a problem,
because it turns it into a strangeness,

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
44
00:03:17,340 --> 00:03:20,210
because naturally you're detached from things.

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
45
00:03:20,210 --> 00:03:25,250
You come to satsang and I'm teaching you 
something much more powerful

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
46
00:03:25,250 --> 00:03:30,280
and to bring awareness to something 
that's already natural for you.

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
47
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:36,820
But I want it to be natural for you
even with things that matter.

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
48
00:03:36,820 --> 00:03:39,080
Q1: Yes, that's my problem.

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
49
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:44,930
M: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
It's a problem for everybody.

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
50
00:03:44,930 --> 00:03:47,640
With things that don't matter, no problem.

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
51
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,040
You don't even have to say,
'I'm going to be detached from that.'

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
52
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:56,360
You don't even have to say that.
You don't have to think. You're just senses, eyes, life.

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
53
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,960
You meet these things. Nothing.
Just move through them. You retain your peace.

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
54
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,700
But about the things that you say matter,
and what makes them matter?

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
55
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:10,440
Let's slow down a bit and say,
what makes some things matter?

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
56
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:17,510
It's an open question for me.
Why do they matter?

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
57
00:04:17,510 --> 00:04:19,870
Some

58
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
58
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,598
relationship, some concepts,

59
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
59
00:04:23,598 --> 00:04:26,910
like okay, this is family, this is my job,

60
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
60
00:04:26,910 --> 00:04:30,270
this is my relationship,
and these things matter.

61
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
61
00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:34,700
So if somebody else's relationship 
is having problem, it's no problem for you.

62
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
62
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:38,260
But you have a relationship problem,
it matters for you.

63
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
63
00:04:38,260 --> 00:04:43,980
So what is this thing that I'm talking about - 
To observe with detachment.

64
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
64
00:04:43,980 --> 00:04:47,830
It's just a little step further than what I say,

65
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
65
00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:49,720
you walk through,
you're naturally detached anyway.

66
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
66
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,440
What I'm asking about - 
learning to observe with detachment,

67
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
67
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,740
is to bring that detachment—

68
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
68
00:04:58,740 --> 00:05:04,235
because whatever you see,
nothing sticks actually. Natural thing.

69
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
69
00:05:04,235 --> 00:05:08,730
But when things matter, your relationship,

70
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
70
00:05:08,730 --> 00:05:11,947
what you want, your work and so on,

71
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
71
00:05:11,947 --> 00:05:15,750
it creates a structure in your mind

72
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
72
00:05:15,750 --> 00:05:19,740
and you have to take care of that.

73
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
73
00:05:19,740 --> 00:05:22,770
So, I'm not going into all of these things.

74
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
74
00:05:22,770 --> 00:05:28,459
I'm saying that, 
okay, what is attachment is to...

75
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
75
00:05:30,590 --> 00:05:39,660
I want you to be aware 
of a space within you which is

76
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
76
00:05:42,290 --> 00:05:45,860
not changed by whatever is happening around you.

77
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
77
00:05:45,860 --> 00:05:50,640
It's alive. It's not dead, but it's not—

78
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
78
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:57,720
it's not attached to the outcome 
of things so deeply.

79
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
79
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,550
I don't know if I'm putting it right.
I'm trying to find an example.

80
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
80
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:10,468
Q1: I feel like there is no space.
It's just all mind and identity.

81
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
81
00:06:10,468 --> 00:06:12,810
M: If you are able to see mind,

82
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
82
00:06:12,810 --> 00:06:16,560
you must be looking from 
some place that's not mind.

83
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
83
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,170
This is true for everybody.
Just you're not aware that it's like that.

84
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
84
00:06:21,170 --> 00:06:25,850
Actually, what I'm saying is 
actually so powerfully true for you

85
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
85
00:06:25,850 --> 00:06:28,260
when you're aware of it.

86
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
86
00:06:28,260 --> 00:06:35,610
And largely, the teachings and the practice
of what we do here

87
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
87
00:06:35,610 --> 00:06:38,880
is to make you more aware of something about you

88
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
88
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,740
that you're not so aware of, for everybody,

89
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
89
00:06:41,740 --> 00:06:44,009
because we're not aware in the place

90
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
90
00:06:44,009 --> 00:06:48,330
that you should be aware of your inmost being.

91
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
91
00:06:48,330 --> 00:06:51,200
You can't see that.

92
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
92
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,740
That's the other thing.
Everything else you can see.

93
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
93
00:06:54,740 --> 00:06:58,040
Every relationship, every object you can see,

94
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
94
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,780
every thought you can remember, 
you can think.

95
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
95
00:07:00,780 --> 00:07:06,180
They're all called 'other',
everything you can see.

96
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
96
00:07:06,180 --> 00:07:08,570
But your Self you cannot see.

97
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
97
00:07:08,570 --> 00:07:10,570
M: You get that?
Q1: Yeah.

98
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
98
00:07:10,570 --> 00:07:15,370
M: You can say, 'Oh, this is my body.
This is my ring.

99
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
99
00:07:15,370 --> 00:07:17,700
This is my house. This is my car.'

100
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
100
00:07:17,700 --> 00:07:24,019
My, my, my. This belongs to me. 
My, my, my. Everything belong to you.

101
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
101
00:07:24,019 --> 00:07:28,150
This is my family. This is my mother.
This is my house.

102
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
102
00:07:28,150 --> 00:07:32,494
This is my country. This is my passport.
This is my birth certificate.

103
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
103
00:07:32,494 --> 00:07:35,590
All 'my', meaning they belong to you.

104
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
104
00:07:35,590 --> 00:07:42,120
But can you say, 'This is my my?
This is my me?'

105
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
105
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:48,130
You can't say, 'This is my me.' Why?

106
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
106
00:07:48,130 --> 00:07:51,070
Q1: Because I cannot see this.

107
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
107
00:07:51,070 --> 00:07:54,370
M: Yes. So because you can't see it,

108
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
108
00:07:54,370 --> 00:07:58,250
M: does it mean it's not there?
Q1: No.

109
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
109
00:07:58,250 --> 00:08:00,670
M: Right. So there's something in the world,

110
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
110
00:08:00,670 --> 00:08:04,980
everything you can see,
but something you cannot see.

111
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
111
00:08:04,980 --> 00:08:08,460
Everything you can see,
but something you cannot see.

112
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
112
00:08:08,460 --> 00:08:14,695
And yet you cannot deny 
that it is real, isn't it? You know you are.

113
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
113
00:08:14,695 --> 00:08:17,760
Now, I'm going to zoom in a little bit closer

114
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
114
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,109
in this feeling that, 'Yes, I know 'I am'.'

115
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
115
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,100
This thing which you cannot see,

116
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
116
00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:32,350
that you say, 'You know it is here.'
I mean, it's the first fact.

117
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
117
00:08:32,350 --> 00:08:36,710
Because if it's not here,
nothing else is here, isn't it?

118
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
118
00:08:36,710 --> 00:08:41,200
But it cannot be seen, yeah?

119
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
119
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,760
Okay, so we are back to this point.

120
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
120
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,240
Everything you can see, everything;

121
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
121
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:54,600
your thoughts, feelings, objects, people,

122
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
122
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,130
your feelings, all of these things, you can see.

123
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
123
00:08:58,130 --> 00:09:04,640
You can even see the quality of your sight,
isn't it?

124
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
124
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,900
So if you went to the optician and he says,

125
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
125
00:09:07,900 --> 00:09:10,960
'Could you tell me something, 
why you come here?'

126
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
126
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:16,690
You said, 'Actually, I'm not able to see 
or focus on things so well.'

127
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
127
00:09:16,690 --> 00:09:19,220
He said, 'In both eyes?'

128
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
128
00:09:19,220 --> 00:09:24,047
You say, 'No, no, in the right eye.'
'Okay, tell me something.'

129
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
129
00:09:24,047 --> 00:09:29,340
You said, 'In the left eye, I can see 
maybe 80 percent of what it should be,

130
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
130
00:09:29,340 --> 00:09:31,900
but in the right eye it's like about 50.'

131
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
131
00:09:31,900 --> 00:09:37,993
So something must be seeing sight, isn't it?

132
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
132
00:09:37,993 --> 00:09:41,410
The capacity is there.
You don't have to ask anybody.

133
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
133
00:09:41,410 --> 00:09:45,740
You can see, yeah, something is aware 
of even the sight

134
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
134
00:09:45,740 --> 00:09:48,760
is not functioning well.

135
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
135
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:55,680
So something must be behind even the sight.

136
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
136
00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:59,880
You are also aware of feelings,

137
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
137
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:05,636
emotion, sense of time.
If somebody said, 'Yesterday something happened.'

138
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
138
00:10:05,636 --> 00:10:09,130
You're aware of what that mean.
Everything you're aware of.

139
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
139
00:10:09,130 --> 00:10:11,540
Everything you can see.

140
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
140
00:10:11,540 --> 00:10:16,310
But your Self, can you see?

141
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
141
00:10:16,310 --> 00:10:18,380
Why?

142
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
142
00:10:19,740 --> 00:10:21,800
Your body you can see.

143
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
143
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,880
Your body you can see.
You can see your smile.

144
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
144
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,220
You can see your body.
You can see everything.

145
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
145
00:10:29,220 --> 00:10:36,710
But your Self, 
is seeing your body your Self?

146
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
146
00:10:36,710 --> 00:10:39,759
Why not?

147
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
147
00:10:43,790 --> 00:10:46,993
Q1: Because something is aware of—
M: Yeah, something is aware.

148
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
148
00:10:46,993 --> 00:10:49,560
Q1: —of the body.
M: Yeah.

149
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
149
00:10:49,560 --> 00:10:53,070
That something which is aware of the body
cannot be seen.

150
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
150
00:10:53,070 --> 00:10:56,380
M: You're saying, no?
Q1: Yeah.

151
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
151
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,270
M: Can it be it can see sickness?

152
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
152
00:11:01,270 --> 00:11:04,470
It can know I'm not feeling well.

153
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
153
00:11:04,470 --> 00:11:07,100
'I'm not feeling... ' It knows emotion.

154
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
154
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:11,060
'I'm feeling a little a bit uncomfortable.'

155
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
155
00:11:11,060 --> 00:11:14,530
It sees everything. But itself it cannot see.

156
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
156
00:11:14,530 --> 00:11:17,930
You're saying? Yeah.

157
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
157
00:11:17,930 --> 00:11:23,030
Why can it see everything,
but it cannot see itself?

158
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
158
00:11:26,934 --> 00:11:30,214
Q1: This I don't know.

159
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
159
00:11:31,590 --> 00:11:33,670
M: This which cannot...

160
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
160
00:11:33,670 --> 00:11:38,120
You can see everything,
but you cannot see your Self.

161
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
161
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,190
This which you cannot see,

162
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
162
00:11:40,190 --> 00:11:45,640
yet you cannot deny, this is your Self.

163
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
163
00:11:52,410 --> 00:11:56,150
That, everything you can see,
your feelings, thoughts,

164
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
164
00:11:56,150 --> 00:12:00,710
and the function of intellect.

165
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
165
00:12:00,710 --> 00:12:02,890
Everything you can see.

166
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
166
00:12:02,890 --> 00:12:07,160
But that which is seeing them,
you say, 'I can't see.'

167
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
167
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,590
It's sort of, the word 'I' represent this thing,

168
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
168
00:12:11,590 --> 00:12:14,520
but it cannot be seen.

169
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
169
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,300
Everybody, even your mother
can come and say,

170
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
170
00:12:17,300 --> 00:12:19,460
'Darling, it's nice to see you.'

171
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
171
00:12:19,460 --> 00:12:22,880
What is the 'you' that she is seeing?

172
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
172
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,901
Q1: The body.
M: The body.

173
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
173
00:12:24,901 --> 00:12:29,718
And she's seeing her affection,
her memory of you.

174
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
174
00:12:29,718 --> 00:12:32,310
All this she can see puts to become you.

175
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
175
00:12:32,310 --> 00:12:35,860
'Darling, it's so nice. Where have you been?
I haven't seen you for a long time.'

176
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
176
00:12:35,860 --> 00:12:39,496
So whatever somebody's saying,
'I can see you. It's good to see you.

177
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
177
00:12:39,496 --> 00:12:42,570
Where have you been? You put on some weight'
or 'you lost some weight.'

178
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
178
00:12:42,570 --> 00:12:45,250
All of this is to do with what?

179
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
179
00:12:45,250 --> 00:12:49,450
Q1: Appearance.
M: Your form and appearance, okay.

180
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
180
00:12:49,450 --> 00:12:52,070
So can she see You?

181
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
181
00:12:52,070 --> 00:12:56,769
Can you see You? Is that scary?

182
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
182
00:12:58,740 --> 00:13:04,080
Q1: No, it's not scary, but it's so...

183
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
183
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,920
Something is missing or feels like...

184
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
184
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,950
M: Okay, take a moment 
and think about what's missing.

185
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
185
00:13:16,390 --> 00:13:20,610
You cannot see your True Self.

186
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
186
00:13:20,610 --> 00:13:25,460
I also cannot see my True Self.

187
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
187
00:13:25,460 --> 00:13:31,350
Why? Because it's not an object.

188
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
188
00:13:31,350 --> 00:13:35,830
It's not even a thought.

189
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
189
00:13:35,830 --> 00:13:40,510
Q1: But you say to stay as this.
But... [laughs]

190
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
190
00:13:40,510 --> 00:13:44,890
M: Well, okay, okay.
Thank you. I say to stay as this. Why?

191
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
191
00:13:44,890 --> 00:13:50,880
Because, first of all,
you imagine something else to be yourself.

192
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
192
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,600
You call yourself a woman, a daughter,
you are from this country,

193
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
193
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,350
my parents, I'm... Whatever. Like this.

194
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
194
00:13:58,350 --> 00:14:04,590
So we are used to associating 
some quality that represent you.

195
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
195
00:14:04,590 --> 00:14:09,410
But really, you're earlier than this in the purity.

196
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
196
00:14:09,410 --> 00:14:12,770
The one that is aware that says,

197
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
197
00:14:12,770 --> 00:14:16,320
you're talking on the phone, 'I'm 27 years old.

198
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
198
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,270
I've got two children.
I'm married. I live in this place.'

199
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
199
00:14:20,270 --> 00:14:25,590
That one, is what?

200
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
200
00:14:25,590 --> 00:14:27,860
Q1: Person.
M: Is the person.

201
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
201
00:14:27,860 --> 00:14:33,310
Is the person and the Self,
the True Self, is the same thing?

202
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
202
00:14:33,310 --> 00:14:35,320
Q1: No.

203
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
203
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:40,779
M: Does that bring a feeling of discomfort?

204
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
204
00:14:42,870 --> 00:14:47,680
No. No. Because there's nothing 
you have to do to know that.

205
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
205
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,880
You - something knows.

206
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
206
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,952
Yet most people, I would say, in the world,
have not even looked like this.

207
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
207
00:14:53,952 --> 00:14:56,890
They have not even thought about this,

208
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
208
00:14:56,890 --> 00:15:00,930
because your world starts with your person.

209
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
209
00:15:00,930 --> 00:15:03,963
If I employ you, I look at you, I interview,

210
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
210
00:15:03,963 --> 00:15:07,266
I say, Tell me about yourself.
You say, 'I studied this in university.

211
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
211
00:15:07,266 --> 00:15:11,920
I lived in South Africa. For a while I travelled..'
Information, information.

212
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
212
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,320
Information cannot be You.

213
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
213
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:20,690
It's about your person. 
Which is, what is the person?

214
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
214
00:15:22,350 --> 00:15:25,480
Q1: This identity is person.
M: Yes, yes.

215
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
215
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,070
Can you see the identity person?

216
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
216
00:15:29,070 --> 00:15:32,819
Q1: Yeah.
M: What it look like?

217
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
217
00:15:34,970 --> 00:15:38,820
Q1: Some tightness, some attachment—

218
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
218
00:15:38,820 --> 00:15:41,660
M: Attachment.
Q1: —to ideas.

219
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
219
00:15:41,660 --> 00:15:46,370
M: Yes. Attachment to some ideas. Okay.

220
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
220
00:15:46,370 --> 00:15:50,680
But the person is also idea.

221
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
221
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:55,110
Q1: This is a problem,
because it really feels real. So yeah.

222
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
222
00:15:55,110 --> 00:15:59,829
M: Because it is the feeling 'I' in you,

223
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
223
00:15:59,829 --> 00:16:04,990
this 'I', it says,'Yeah, I see', 'I think', 
'I... da, da, da.'

224
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
224
00:16:04,990 --> 00:16:11,940
Who is the 'I' that thinks we're not sure 
if it's the person or the real Self?

225
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
225
00:16:11,940 --> 00:16:16,840
'I want'. 'Yes, I know.'

226
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
226
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,410
Who is the 'I' that knows?

227
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
227
00:16:20,410 --> 00:16:24,100
Is it personal or impersonal?

228
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
228
00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:28,469
Q1: Personal.
M: It's personal. Okay, good.

229
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
229
00:16:28,469 --> 00:16:33,460
What sees it's impersonal?

230
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
230
00:16:33,460 --> 00:16:36,850
Q1: I don't know what.
I know it's something is seeing but...

231
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
231
00:16:36,850 --> 00:16:40,530
M: Yes. It's the same answer. 
You've given the answer already.

232
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
232
00:16:40,530 --> 00:16:43,790
It cannot be seen.

233
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
233
00:16:43,790 --> 00:16:47,640
So this is the most important discovery,

234
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
234
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,440
because until you really realise this 
and know this,

235
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
235
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,230
you take yourself to be an object
perceiving other object.

236
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
236
00:16:56,230 --> 00:17:00,370
The object being your person.
And it's okay, it's okay.

237
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
237
00:17:00,370 --> 00:17:04,470
God made it like that, 
that we would also be projected

238
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
238
00:17:04,470 --> 00:17:07,870
into the world of thought 
and feeling and association

239
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
239
00:17:07,870 --> 00:17:11,110
and say, 'This is me,' for a while.

240
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
240
00:17:11,110 --> 00:17:16,000
But with this 'I' that works as the person,

241
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
241
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:21,320
its world and itself is never stable,

242
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
242
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,390
because it has an identity.

243
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
243
00:17:25,390 --> 00:17:30,400
Is the identity of the person always stable? 
No, no.

244
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
244
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:35,820
But it tries with everything 
to try and to share that it is stable.

245
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
245
00:17:35,820 --> 00:17:44,420
Because stable mean it's wise,
it's real, it's dependable, it's consistent.

246
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
246
00:17:44,420 --> 00:17:47,210
I'm just talking this through.

247
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
247
00:17:47,210 --> 00:17:50,780
But I'm pointing to a deeper knowing 
behind this person

248
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
248
00:17:50,780 --> 00:17:56,520
that knows the person, that sees the person.

249
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
249
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,670
That which is aware of the person—
you're with me?

250
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
250
00:18:00,670 --> 00:18:04,630
Is it attached to the person 
or is the person attached to it?

251
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
251
00:18:04,630 --> 00:18:07,740
Take a moment.

252
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
252
00:18:11,380 --> 00:18:15,960
Q1: It is not attached.
M: It's not attached.

253
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
253
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,720
M: Does it suffer from not being attached?

254
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
254
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,910
Q1: No. [laughs]

255
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
255
00:18:23,910 --> 00:18:27,617
M: But I had to question you
for you to recede to that place

256
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
256
00:18:27,617 --> 00:18:31,050
to say, 'It's not attached.'

257
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
257
00:18:31,050 --> 00:18:33,710
Because where we are functioning normally

258
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
258
00:18:33,710 --> 00:18:37,780
is from the identity of the person,
which is attached.

259
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
259
00:18:37,780 --> 00:18:40,320
Which likes and dislikes.

260
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
260
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,560
Who wants and don't want.

261
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
261
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,730
Who thinks this and thinks that.

262
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
262
00:18:44,730 --> 00:18:49,720
And very much is in the function 
of perceiving and living, no?

263
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
263
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:54,170
So, what I'm sharing is that, that's okay.

264
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
264
00:18:54,170 --> 00:19:00,700
But if you only are aware of yourself
as a person, with its world,

265
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
265
00:19:00,700 --> 00:19:05,450
you will never be totally happy,
because it's not stable.

266
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
266
00:19:05,450 --> 00:19:09,457
Today, 'Ah, I'm so happy.
I'm so... Oh, so wonderful!'

267
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
267
00:19:09,457 --> 00:19:13,500
Tomorrow I see you... [imitates struggling]

268
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
268
00:19:13,500 --> 00:19:18,680
I say, Mia, what's up?
'It's okay, I don't want to talk about it.'

269
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
269
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,200
Who is it, who is speaking? Person, no?
Q1: Yes.

270
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
270
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:27,740
M: What does the Self say?
What does the real Self say?

271
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
271
00:19:27,740 --> 00:19:30,690
Is it important at all?

272
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
272
00:19:30,690 --> 00:19:33,860
No. Is the self important?
Q1: No.

273
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
273
00:19:33,860 --> 00:19:35,979
M: It's not important.
Q1: No.

274
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
274
00:19:35,979 --> 00:19:39,980
M: So does that mean that it's no good,
it's not significant?

275
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
275
00:19:39,980 --> 00:19:44,230
The self is not important?
It's not important?

276
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
276
00:19:44,230 --> 00:19:47,940
Okay, so what's the purpose of it existing then?

277
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
277
00:19:47,940 --> 00:19:50,969
If other things after it is important,
like the person;

278
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
278
00:19:50,969 --> 00:19:53,930
personal identity is important,
personal world is important,

279
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
279
00:19:53,930 --> 00:19:56,060
personal attachment is important.

280
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
280
00:19:56,060 --> 00:20:02,500
But the one before all of this come,
which cannot be removed,

281
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
281
00:20:02,500 --> 00:20:06,930
can the Self be killed? No.

282
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
282
00:20:06,930 --> 00:20:13,870
And you say, 'I'm quite liking it, 
actually, it's not important.' Okay.

283
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
283
00:20:16,670 --> 00:20:20,940
M: What is important?

284
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
284
00:20:20,940 --> 00:20:25,320
Q1: I feel this exercise is important to do.
M: Yes.

285
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
285
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:30,100
Why is it important, the exercise?

286
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
286
00:20:33,950 --> 00:20:36,980
Q1: To stabilise in this.
M: Yeah.

287
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
287
00:20:36,980 --> 00:20:41,291
Is it the Self, the inmost Self 
that has to stabilise,

288
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
288
00:20:41,291 --> 00:20:44,940
or something else has to stabilise?
Q1: Something else.

289
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
289
00:20:44,940 --> 00:20:47,100
M: Right.

290
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
290
00:20:47,100 --> 00:20:51,400
Why does it need to stabilise,
the something else?

291
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
291
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:57,760
Q1: Because to not get pulled into identity.

292
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
292
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:04,723
M: Yes. What is it that gets pulled into identity?
Is it the Self?

293
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
293
00:21:04,723 --> 00:21:07,810
Q1: Attention.
M: Attention. Attention gets pulled.

294
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
294
00:21:07,810 --> 00:21:12,000
M: So attention is very important.
Q1: Yes.

295
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
295
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,160
M: When the attention gets pulled into identity,

296
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
296
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,700
what knows it most deeply;

297
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
297
00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:25,390
the attention, the mind, the person, 
or the inmost Self?

298
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
298
00:21:25,390 --> 00:21:28,790
Q1: The Self. The inmost Self.
M: The Self.

299
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
299
00:21:28,790 --> 00:21:32,250
Does it suffer?
Q1: No.

300
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
300
00:21:32,250 --> 00:21:35,050
M: No. Still it's important,

301
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
301
00:21:35,050 --> 00:21:39,390
because every time the attention 
goes out and forgets itself,

302
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
302
00:21:39,390 --> 00:21:43,500
it forgets where it comes from.
Q1: Yeah. [laughs]

303
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
303
00:21:43,500 --> 00:21:48,010
M: Every time the attention goes out,
gets involved in its projections,

304
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
304
00:21:48,010 --> 00:21:50,640
it causes some pain,

305
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
305
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:55,290
it creates a kind of a world,
it creates emotion,

306
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
306
00:21:55,290 --> 00:21:58,730
it creates ups and downs, like this,

307
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
307
00:21:58,730 --> 00:22:01,620
and something is troubled by that.

308
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
308
00:22:01,620 --> 00:22:05,063
Maybe the person is troubled by that.
Q1: Yeah.

309
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
309
00:22:05,063 --> 00:22:08,250
M: And in our world, 
everything is due to the person.

310
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
310
00:22:08,250 --> 00:22:11,430
It's the person that takes 
another person to court.

311
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
311
00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:16,200
It's the person that wins or lose.
What about the Self?

312
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
312
00:22:18,586 --> 00:22:22,110
Q1: Nothing. [laughs]
M: Is it important to know this?

313
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
313
00:22:22,110 --> 00:22:24,560
Q1: Yeah.
M: Yeah.

314
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
314
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:29,470
Okay, so when we speak about—
I'll come back to your letter now.

315
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
315
00:22:29,470 --> 00:22:36,180
[Reads the letter] You say,
'I don't know how to observe with detachment.'

316
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
316
00:22:36,180 --> 00:22:40,930
Does the Self need to know 
how to observe with detachment?

317
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
317
00:22:40,930 --> 00:22:45,330
[Questioner shakes head, no]
M: Why?

318
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
318
00:22:45,330 --> 00:22:50,490
Q1: It doesn't need anything.
M: It doesn't need anything.

319
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
319
00:22:50,490 --> 00:22:54,290
Yet everything is known to it.

320
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
320
00:22:54,290 --> 00:22:58,024
The play of the mind, 
or da da da da, it knows,

321
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
321
00:22:58,024 --> 00:23:03,060
but it's not impacted upon.
Q1: No.

322
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
322
00:23:03,060 --> 00:23:09,660
M: There is a link between 
the sense of the person and the inner Self.

323
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
323
00:23:09,660 --> 00:23:14,840
When the person, who cannot exist 
without the inner Self,

324
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
324
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:23,230
when it gets into states of confusion and pain,

325
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
325
00:23:23,230 --> 00:23:26,930
if it doesn't realise its root as the inner Self,

326
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
326
00:23:26,930 --> 00:23:29,702
it goes floating off and trouble can come.

327
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
327
00:23:29,702 --> 00:23:32,530
Mental problems can come. Sickness can come.

328
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
328
00:23:32,530 --> 00:23:35,240
Anger can come. Fear come. Everything come.

329
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
329
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,140
So it's very important that 
this personal sense

330
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
330
00:23:39,140 --> 00:23:41,980
become aware of its root.

331
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
331
00:23:41,980 --> 00:23:48,150
Q1: Yes, and when I tried to do this exercise, 
I cannot come to this.

332
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
332
00:23:48,150 --> 00:23:53,280
M: Who is doing the exercise?
Q1: Yes it's the mind and the person

333
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
333
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:58,050
and the one who wants to stop suffering.
M: Right.

334
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
334
00:23:58,050 --> 00:24:01,169
What knows this?

335
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
335
00:24:04,100 --> 00:24:08,590
What is aware of this?
Is it the person-mind or the inner Self?

336
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
336
00:24:08,590 --> 00:24:12,040
Q1: The inner Self.
M: Yeah. Is the inner Self troubled?

337
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
337
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,270
Q1: No.

338
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
338
00:24:14,270 --> 00:24:19,070
M: Still, the exercise is good,
because this is the real yoga.

339
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
339
00:24:19,070 --> 00:24:22,370
Yoga means the coming together into oneness;

340
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
340
00:24:22,370 --> 00:24:28,586
where the sense of the person 
has to rediscover its root.

341
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
341
00:24:28,586 --> 00:24:30,970
The person cannot live by itself.

342
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
342
00:24:30,970 --> 00:24:37,880
Even when it's not aware of the Self,
it still comes from the Self.

343
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
343
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:43,380
So largely the human expression 
of the consciousness self

344
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
344
00:24:43,380 --> 00:24:46,810
is self-aware as a person.

345
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
345
00:24:46,810 --> 00:24:51,310
And so it can go for lifetimes,
in the human lifetime, living the person,

346
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
346
00:24:51,310 --> 00:24:55,232
because it's a big world, its dreams,
and 'I have to go do this.

347
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
347
00:24:55,232 --> 00:25:00,310
I like this, I don't like that,' and da da da.
Maybe life after life.

348
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
348
00:25:00,310 --> 00:25:04,050
'This life I love, I love ice cream. 
I'd die for ice cream.'

349
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
349
00:25:04,050 --> 00:25:08,180
Next life, 'I can't stand ice cream.'
There's nothing consistent about it.

350
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
350
00:25:08,180 --> 00:25:13,330
Except that it cannot exist 
without the real Self,

351
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
351
00:25:13,330 --> 00:25:16,330
and it has intelligence also.

352
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
352
00:25:16,330 --> 00:25:21,810
So, when it happens to this personal self,

353
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
353
00:25:21,810 --> 00:25:25,458
for some reason, 
it's being attracted to find out,

354
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
354
00:25:25,458 --> 00:25:27,850
maybe it suffers enough in the world

355
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
355
00:25:27,850 --> 00:25:31,780
and it wants to find a solution for it.

356
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
356
00:25:31,780 --> 00:25:37,530
And the only solid solution 
is to discover where it comes from,

357
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
357
00:25:37,530 --> 00:25:42,610
and that where it come from, and itself, are one.

358
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
358
00:25:42,610 --> 00:25:44,890
That's what the search of life is.

359
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
359
00:25:44,890 --> 00:25:49,230
Because all the beings who are not aware
of this oneness with the Self,

360
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
360
00:25:49,230 --> 00:25:54,870
all of them suffer. All have problem. You see.

361
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
361
00:25:54,870 --> 00:25:59,090
So this is the purpose of our satsang,

362
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
362
00:25:59,090 --> 00:26:03,700
is that the consciousness,
in the form of a person,

363
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
363
00:26:03,700 --> 00:26:06,000
becomes attracted to its root,

364
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
364
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,770
and not just attracted 
to the world in front of it.

365
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
365
00:26:09,770 --> 00:26:14,759
And so this exercise like detachment,
meaning that whatever is going on,

366
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
366
00:26:14,759 --> 00:26:19,630
to go in the world, to do,
the this, and self-image,

367
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
367
00:26:19,630 --> 00:26:22,082
self-image, self-assessments,

368
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
368
00:26:22,082 --> 00:26:29,200
all of this is a play of the mind,
is mind states.

369
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
369
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:35,860
And it has to realise that 
all states are changeful, okay,

370
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
370
00:26:35,860 --> 00:26:41,110
and that it can witness them,
it can observe them, without being them.

371
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
371
00:26:41,110 --> 00:26:46,279
In fact, you can only observe something
because you're not it, actually.

372
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
372
00:26:46,279 --> 00:26:54,260
And that there's a capacity 
even in the person to observe,

373
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
373
00:26:54,260 --> 00:26:59,310
and in observing them
it knows that it's not them.

374
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
374
00:26:59,310 --> 00:27:03,900
And that characteristic is like its parent.

375
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
375
00:27:03,900 --> 00:27:08,264
You see, the person, the characteristic
of looking and realising that,

376
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
376
00:27:08,264 --> 00:27:14,910
'Whatever I see is only an impression,
a thought, and a feeling,

377
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
377
00:27:14,910 --> 00:27:19,220
but it's not what I am,'
that's called <i>awakening</i>

378
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
378
00:27:19,220 --> 00:27:22,750
It's waking up to the fact that nothing out here

379
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
379
00:27:22,750 --> 00:27:25,130
comes through the mind or the senses,

380
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
380
00:27:25,130 --> 00:27:30,210
nothing of there can be fundamental to me.
All of it is changing.

381
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
381
00:27:30,210 --> 00:27:36,460
And even myself as the person 
who is looking and knowing this,

382
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
382
00:27:36,460 --> 00:27:40,603
it's like on the verge of this way - world.

383
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
383
00:27:40,603 --> 00:27:43,590
This way - into the abyss of the Self.

384
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
384
00:27:43,590 --> 00:27:46,380
Because it has a capacity that when it looks

385
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
385
00:27:46,380 --> 00:27:52,050
and is not identified with what it sees 
or what its experience is,

386
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
386
00:27:52,050 --> 00:27:55,880
each thing comes, like life is saying,
'This thing and this thing.'

387
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
387
00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:00,450
And it's saying, 'No, it's not this.
It's not this. What I am is not this.'

388
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
388
00:28:00,450 --> 00:28:07,580
As you keep doing that, it naturally 
comes back to its original Self-awareness.

389
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
389
00:28:07,580 --> 00:28:10,469
And I say, Self-awareness, 
non-dual Self-awareness,

390
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
390
00:28:10,469 --> 00:28:14,220
like not one thing, not a divided union,

391
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
391
00:28:14,220 --> 00:28:17,970
but a harmony comes back into realising,

392
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
392
00:28:17,970 --> 00:28:22,100
'But here nothing is happening to me.'

393
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
393
00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:25,078
When I go into the mind, into identity,

394
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
394
00:28:25,078 --> 00:28:27,630
then happenings becomes relevant.

395
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
395
00:28:27,630 --> 00:28:33,170
But if I even can observe 
and be aware of even my person,

396
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
396
00:28:33,170 --> 00:28:37,960
which is like my person is like the...

397
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
397
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:43,370
What you call this?
The binoculars that sees the world,

398
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
398
00:28:43,370 --> 00:28:45,560
but the person who sees the world

399
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
399
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,140
is also seen from the place of the Self.

400
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
400
00:28:48,140 --> 00:28:54,320
When it knows this, it's coming back into
conscious harmony.

401
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
401
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,930
That's all the thing of detachment is.

402
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
402
00:28:56,930 --> 00:29:01,060
You don't have to kill anything.
It's just understanding.

403
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
403
00:29:01,060 --> 00:29:05,240
The realisation of the Self 
is a journey of understanding,

404
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
404
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,860
and understanding your misunderstanding.

405
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
405
00:29:07,860 --> 00:29:10,689
So it's simple. Unless we get it,
it might seem,

406
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
406
00:29:10,689 --> 00:29:14,490
'It's the most complex thing.' Why? 
Because you're not used to doing it.

407
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
407
00:29:14,490 --> 00:29:18,810
You're looking—each one is 
used to looking forward, looking outward.

408
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
408
00:29:18,810 --> 00:29:22,500
Even sometimes when you think 
we're looking inward into our mind,

409
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
409
00:29:22,500 --> 00:29:25,461
it's still outward from the inner Self.

410
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
410
00:29:25,461 --> 00:29:28,260
Q1: Yeah, and this happens a lot,

411
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
411
00:29:28,260 --> 00:29:33,220
because I go in, in and then it's the body.

412
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
412
00:29:33,220 --> 00:29:36,390
I cannot go beyond.
M: You're in the body-mind.

413
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
413
00:29:36,390 --> 00:29:40,110
But something behind that knows this thing.

414
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
414
00:29:40,110 --> 00:29:44,680
The mind cannot make an ultimate realisation

415
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
415
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,480
without becoming the realisation.

416
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
416
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:53,930
The mind or the person 
cannot come to ultimate realisation

417
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
417
00:29:53,930 --> 00:29:57,410
and remain independent of that realisation.

418
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
418
00:29:57,410 --> 00:30:04,780
The more it becomes aware, 
the more it finds it is. Not that it has.

419
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
419
00:30:04,780 --> 00:30:08,630
And this is very significant thing.

420
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
420
00:30:08,630 --> 00:30:13,910
Nobody can <i>have the realisation</i>
and be somebody who has realisation.

421
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
421
00:30:13,910 --> 00:30:17,130
What it means is that, the idea of yourself

422
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
422
00:30:17,130 --> 00:30:21,350
as being only the person,
subsides again, and is seen,

423
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
423
00:30:21,350 --> 00:30:26,520
it is seen as also the most subtle object.

424
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
424
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:31,350
This subtle object of a person 
is behaving like a subject,

425
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
425
00:30:31,350 --> 00:30:34,330
and that everything in its world is the object.

426
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
426
00:30:34,330 --> 00:30:38,440
But to the Self, it also is the <i>first object.</i>

427
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
427
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:44,900
The first object shines as this feeling 'I',
'I am here'.

428
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
428
00:30:44,900 --> 00:30:48,870
You know, 'Mia!' 'Yeah, I'm here.'
What it means, 'I am here'?

429
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
429
00:30:48,870 --> 00:30:53,260
The reference normally is, 'Look, I'm over here.

430
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
430
00:30:53,260 --> 00:30:56,590
And this is okay, this is normal, 
this is the only place

431
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
431
00:30:56,590 --> 00:30:59,160
where language can exist, in that way.

432
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
432
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,990
The language is for the sense of the person

433
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
433
00:31:01,990 --> 00:31:07,090
having relationship with what it likes or dislike.

434
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
434
00:31:07,090 --> 00:31:10,070
Actually, there's nothing wrong 
with this, ultimately.

435
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
435
00:31:10,070 --> 00:31:12,790
Because even as you wake up
again to realise that,

436
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
436
00:31:12,790 --> 00:31:16,410
whatever happens, it's seen from this place.

437
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
437
00:31:16,410 --> 00:31:18,810
But this place cannot be seen,

438
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
438
00:31:18,810 --> 00:31:23,930
and that I can only really be this place.

439
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
439
00:31:23,930 --> 00:31:27,945
Then when you really know this,
the dynamic expression of this,

440
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
440
00:31:27,945 --> 00:31:31,429
which is like of being a person,
that can still play,

441
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
441
00:31:31,429 --> 00:31:34,890
but it won't have that delusion in it.

442
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
442
00:31:34,890 --> 00:31:38,820
Q1: Yes. This delusion has to go.

443
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
443
00:31:38,820 --> 00:31:41,901
M: No, it needs to be understood.
Q1: Yeah.

444
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
444
00:31:41,901 --> 00:31:44,760
M: It doesn't go. Why it needs to go?

445
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
445
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,883
Because you are combining it with your identity

446
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
446
00:31:47,883 --> 00:31:50,390
and it hurts like, 'No, no, no, no.'

447
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
447
00:31:50,390 --> 00:31:53,510
But all this now, 
you're going to see all of this

448
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
448
00:31:53,510 --> 00:31:56,250
are constructs of the mind.

449
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
449
00:31:56,250 --> 00:32:00,306
And the self is just a psychological portrait

450
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
450
00:32:00,306 --> 00:32:03,360
of the mind, of the person.

451
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
451
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,820
But the inner being, which has no shape,
you can't identify and say,

452
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
452
00:32:07,820 --> 00:32:11,070
'Ah I found the inner being.' 
You cannot do that.

453
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
453
00:32:11,070 --> 00:32:16,160
Because anything you can do that with,
is an object in the perception.

454
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
454
00:32:17,980 --> 00:32:20,160
M: You got it, isn't it?
Q1: Yes.

455
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
455
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,760
M: Okay. So okay, so prove your problem.
Go on.

456
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
456
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,880
You see, you will need to sit with this,
more and more.

457
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
457
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,600
Because it's like shape shifting.
One minute you think you're looking

458
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
458
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:55,200
and the next minute you're involved, invested.

459
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
459
00:32:55,200 --> 00:33:02,410
Don't get angry about this,
because it's been happening for lifetimes.

460
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
460
00:33:02,410 --> 00:33:04,680
So, let it happen, it's okay.

461
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
461
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,300
Just keep seeing, but wait a minute, 
this can be seen also.

462
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
462
00:33:08,300 --> 00:33:13,990
The most intimate 
is also an object of perception.

463
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
463
00:33:13,990 --> 00:33:18,430
The most intimate, 
because 'intimate' means at least two.

464
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
464
00:33:18,430 --> 00:33:22,350
If there's not two, there is no intimate.

465
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
465
00:33:28,257 --> 00:33:34,120
Can you be confused, <i>'you'</i>, 
in the light of what I'm sharing?

466
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
466
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,900
Q1: No, no.
M: Thank you.

467
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
467
00:33:36,900 --> 00:33:40,050
But you can be aware of confusion.
Q1: Yeah.

468
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
468
00:33:40,050 --> 00:33:44,520
M: If you can be aware of confusion 
without identifying with confusion,

469
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
469
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,500
are you cheating?

470
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
470
00:33:47,500 --> 00:33:50,350
Q1: No, no. [laughs]

471
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
471
00:33:52,459 --> 00:33:54,969
M: Very good.

472
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
472
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:01,620
So let's start again from the beginning.
What's your problem?

473
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
473
00:34:09,700 --> 00:34:16,420
Q1: That when I do this exercise,
I believe I need to find something.

474
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
474
00:34:16,420 --> 00:34:20,873
M: 'I' being what? Qualify your status here.

475
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
475
00:34:20,873 --> 00:34:22,870
Q1: The person.

476
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
476
00:34:22,870 --> 00:34:26,090
M: When the person do the exercise?
Q1: Yeah.

477
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
477
00:34:26,090 --> 00:34:31,380
M: There's another word for person 
in this exercise,

478
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
478
00:34:31,380 --> 00:34:34,170
I would call it,

479
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
479
00:34:34,170 --> 00:34:42,900
when the personalised intelligence of the truth,

480
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
480
00:34:42,900 --> 00:34:48,100
when the personal intelligence of God

481
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
481
00:34:48,100 --> 00:34:54,820
gets confused with its projections,
then it's like it's lost to itself.

482
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
482
00:34:54,820 --> 00:34:57,110
It's like it's lost to itself.

483
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
483
00:34:57,110 --> 00:35:01,980
When that loss to itself becomes painful,

484
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
484
00:35:01,980 --> 00:35:07,570
you're on the brink of awakening.
You understand?

485
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
485
00:35:07,570 --> 00:35:12,070
Because if you're not troubled by it,
then you will not go beyond it.

486
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
486
00:35:12,070 --> 00:35:17,210
Q1: When it's just pain, pain, pain. [laughs]

487
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
487
00:35:17,210 --> 00:35:22,430
M: 'No pain, no gain,' they say.
You have to...

488
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
488
00:35:22,430 --> 00:35:28,020
It's like, in a way, 
you're giving birth to yourself.

489
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
489
00:35:28,020 --> 00:35:35,540
Q1: Because I sit and I do,
but I feel like there is no result.

490
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
490
00:35:35,540 --> 00:35:39,550
M: You, again, who is sitting and looking, is what?

491
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
491
00:35:39,550 --> 00:35:42,740
Q1: The person. 
[laughter]

492
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
492
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,878
M: Does it matter that 
we are catching it like that?

493
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
493
00:35:47,878 --> 00:35:49,980
That it's the person doing it,

494
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
494
00:35:49,980 --> 00:35:54,320
and that what the person cries about today,
laughs about another moment,

495
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
495
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,880
that it's not consistent.

496
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
496
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:01,100
And even if it says, 'Eureka, I found the Self!'
Can it be true?

497
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
497
00:36:01,100 --> 00:36:03,530
Q1: No.
M: Why not?

498
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
498
00:36:03,530 --> 00:36:06,080
Q1: Because it cannot be seen.

499
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
499
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:10,308
Q1: And if it lends to some illusion of...

500
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
500
00:36:10,308 --> 00:36:14,620
M: So then what's the practice for?

501
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
501
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,720
Q1: To become aware of all this—

502
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
502
00:36:27,740 --> 00:36:34,170
wrong ideas.
M: Yeah, that's one way we can put it.

503
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
503
00:36:34,170 --> 00:36:36,950
Tell me another way we can put it. 
That's good.

504
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
504
00:36:36,950 --> 00:36:41,040
I take that, to become aware 
of all these kind of little—

505
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
505
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:46,790
all these little kind of distortions 
of understanding,

506
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
506
00:36:46,790 --> 00:36:51,020
to become aware of them.
More subtle than that.

507
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
507
00:36:51,020 --> 00:36:56,780
By becoming aware of them,
you become aware of what?

508
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
508
00:36:56,780 --> 00:37:01,720
Q1: Of that which is seeing.
M: Is seeing, yeah.

509
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
509
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:07,140
How can you become...
be aware of it phenomenally?

510
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
510
00:37:07,140 --> 00:37:09,930
Can you become aware of it phenomenally?

511
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
511
00:37:09,930 --> 00:37:12,010
Q1: No.
M: No.

512
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
512
00:37:12,010 --> 00:37:15,460
So therefore, you become aware of what?

513
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
513
00:37:15,460 --> 00:37:20,790
Q1: It feels like it's just the moments
of this awareness.

514
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
514
00:37:20,790 --> 00:37:25,222
M: Yeah. It will flicker before, 
because you're not used to it.

515
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
515
00:37:25,222 --> 00:37:27,964
The reflex is used to going out and connecting

516
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
516
00:37:27,964 --> 00:37:31,350
with objects of projections 
and perception, used to that.

517
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
517
00:37:31,350 --> 00:37:35,230
But now I'm asking you to... 
All this is happening for everyone.

518
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
518
00:37:35,230 --> 00:37:38,570
And even the one who says,
'But this is happening to me,

519
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
519
00:37:38,570 --> 00:37:42,230
and I find it frustrating!'
With where I'm asking you to do,

520
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
520
00:37:42,230 --> 00:37:48,050
is to see that that also 
is an aspect of the mind.

521
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
521
00:37:48,050 --> 00:37:51,300
But all of these aspects, they came originally

522
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
522
00:37:51,300 --> 00:37:55,920
from out of this projection forward.
Can you see?

523
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
523
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,940
Q1: Yeah.
M: Yeah.

524
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
524
00:37:57,940 --> 00:38:06,466
And that the real opportunity 
is in seeing this.

525
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
525
00:38:06,466 --> 00:38:10,200
But still something is feeling,
'No, but mind is still troubling.

526
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
526
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:15,600
Mind is still troubling.'
No, don't worry. It's troubling who?

527
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
527
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:20,200
Who is the mind troubling?

528
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
528
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,906
We can say together after three. One, two, three.
Q1: No one.

529
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
529
00:38:23,906 --> 00:38:27,420
M: The person. Oh, no one!
Oh, you beat me to it!

530
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
530
00:38:27,420 --> 00:38:31,290
It's troubling no one!
It's troubling <i>no one.</i>

531
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
531
00:38:31,290 --> 00:38:35,570
That's a better answer than the person.
[Questioner laughs]

532
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
532
00:38:35,570 --> 00:38:37,630
M: You see this?
Q1: Yeah.

533
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
533
00:38:37,630 --> 00:38:39,760
M: Okay.

534
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
534
00:38:40,810 --> 00:38:43,830
So now what?

535
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
535
00:38:47,590 --> 00:38:51,780
It's enough or not enough?

536
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
536
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,401
Q1: I don't know.

537
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
537
00:38:57,401 --> 00:39:02,600
M: Who is saying? Who is...
Where this answer is coming from?

538
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
538
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,600
I can accept it, or I can question it,
'I don't know.'

539
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
539
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:15,150
'I'-who don't know?

540
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
540
00:39:15,150 --> 00:39:17,770
Q1: It's the person.
M: It's the person.

541
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
541
00:39:17,770 --> 00:39:19,840
Q1: Yeah.
M: Yeah, sure?

542
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
542
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,377
Q1: No. [laughs]
M: It can be from the person.

543
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
543
00:39:23,377 --> 00:39:26,080
If you say it's from the person, okay,

544
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
544
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,870
then I would say, You give me one more move.

545
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
545
00:39:28,870 --> 00:39:34,450
But what's aware that it's coming from the person?

546
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
546
00:39:34,450 --> 00:39:39,360
Q1: Yes. Something feels like it's not satisfied,

547
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
547
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:45,540
but I should not go after.

548
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
548
00:39:45,540 --> 00:39:49,290
M: Yes. This is a powerful seeing,

549
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
549
00:39:49,290 --> 00:39:51,830
'Something feels not satisfied.'

550
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
550
00:39:51,830 --> 00:39:57,430
That which feels not satisfied,
it's personal or impersonal?

551
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
551
00:39:57,430 --> 00:40:00,750
Q1: It's personal.
M: Personal.

552
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
552
00:40:00,750 --> 00:40:04,220
You see, if that gets you each time,
like the person goes,

553
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
553
00:40:04,220 --> 00:40:09,850
'Yeah, I know, Guruji, 
but, you know, can't get... ' Who's speaking?

554
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
554
00:40:09,850 --> 00:40:12,650
Q1: Person.
M: Yeah.

555
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
555
00:40:12,650 --> 00:40:15,330
So we will finish on that note?

556
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
556
00:40:15,330 --> 00:40:21,810
Q1: Uh, person? No. [laughs]
M: Thank you. Okay. Where?

557
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
557
00:40:29,300 --> 00:40:33,730
What does finish mean?

558
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
558
00:40:33,730 --> 00:40:37,977
Q1: Just this conversation.
Finish the conversation.

559
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
559
00:40:37,977 --> 00:40:43,810
M: The conversation can finish 
in its oral manifestation.

560
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
560
00:40:43,810 --> 00:40:46,680
It may go to be some kind of little stuff

561
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
561
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,890
in the mind that feels like,
'Yeah, I don't know.

562
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
562
00:40:49,890 --> 00:40:53,130
I had a talk with Mooji,
and it was really clear,

563
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
563
00:40:53,130 --> 00:40:56,120
but now it's not clear.' Is report from?

564
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
564
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,430
Q1: The mind.
M: From the mind.

565
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
565
00:40:58,430 --> 00:41:02,150
And it is that ultimate?
Q1: No.

566
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
566
00:41:02,150 --> 00:41:06,370
M: No. What is ultimate?

567
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
567
00:41:06,370 --> 00:41:09,640
Q1: That which is aware of this.

568
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
568
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,350
M: Yes, yes.

569
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
569
00:41:12,350 --> 00:41:15,880
M: Which is where?

570
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
570
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,880
Q1: It's nowhere.

571
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
571
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,310
M: Why are you smiling? 
[Questioner laughs]

572
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
572
00:41:28,700 --> 00:41:34,270
So, you have a problem?

573
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
573
00:41:34,270 --> 00:41:37,630
Q1: No. 
[Laughter]

574
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
574
00:41:37,630 --> 00:41:42,870
Can you, from this place of answering,
ever have a problem?

575
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
575
00:41:42,870 --> 00:41:45,719
Q1: No. No.

576
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
576
00:41:51,110 --> 00:41:56,139
M: Are you sad or happy about this?

577
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
577
00:41:59,750 --> 00:42:02,759
Q1: Nothing.
M: Very good.

578
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
578
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,929
More subtle than even happy.

579
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
579
00:42:13,510 --> 00:42:17,109
Yeah. We're good?

580
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
580
00:42:19,690 --> 00:42:22,790
If you go walking 
and the mind comes again and says,

581
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
581
00:42:22,790 --> 00:42:26,780
'I can't remember anything about that.

582
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
582
00:42:26,780 --> 00:42:30,697
I'm going to try and see if I can 
get that mood back.' Was it a mood?

583
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
583
00:42:30,697 --> 00:42:34,240
Q1: No.
M: It's not a mood. [laughter]

584
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
584
00:42:34,240 --> 00:42:38,740
Can you lose this?

585
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
585
00:42:38,740 --> 00:42:40,960
Q1: No.
M: No.

586
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
586
00:42:42,430 --> 00:42:46,489
Can you possess this?
Q1: No.

587
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
587
00:42:49,620 --> 00:42:52,619
M: Very good.

588
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
588
00:42:56,470 --> 00:42:59,050
I'm happy. Very good.

589
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
589
00:42:59,050 --> 00:43:02,740
So, the rest I don't have to read, no?

590
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
590
00:43:02,740 --> 00:43:06,938
[Reads letter] 'I don't know how to 
be aware that I am aware.

591
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
591
00:43:06,938 --> 00:43:09,030
[Questioner laughs]

592
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
592
00:43:09,030 --> 00:43:14,900
I still see this 'I'-identity as real.
Please help, Mia.'

593
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
593
00:43:14,900 --> 00:43:17,040
Do we need?
Q1: No.

594
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
594
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:21,900
M: Very good. Can I keep it?
Q1: Yes. I mean, throw it.

595
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
595
00:43:21,900 --> 00:43:25,379
M: Throw it, keep it.
I'm happy you're like this. It's good.

596
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
596
00:43:25,379 --> 00:43:31,620
Q1: You don't need to keep it.
M: Because this, [touches letter]

597
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
597
00:43:31,620 --> 00:43:37,389
I call it an auspicious reaching out 
to clarify something.

598
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
598
00:43:37,389 --> 00:43:42,271
And to that extent, it's very...

599
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
599
00:43:42,271 --> 00:43:44,830
I mean, it's not a game.

600
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
600
00:43:44,830 --> 00:43:50,789
We can say it is like a game,
but it's not a cynical game.

601
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
601
00:43:50,789 --> 00:43:57,319
It's, you may say, a game or a play or

602
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
602
00:43:57,319 --> 00:44:02,320
something that needs to happen

603
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
603
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:06,530
to the human expression of consciousness,

604
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
604
00:44:06,530 --> 00:44:11,300
when it comes to a stage where 
its world is not working.

605
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
605
00:44:11,300 --> 00:44:14,240
And I don't see that as a disaster.

606
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
606
00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:18,140
I see it as opportunity 
to look behind the scene.

607
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
607
00:44:18,140 --> 00:44:23,150
Q1: Yes, yes. I want to take 
every opportunity to look.

608
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
608
00:44:23,150 --> 00:44:27,080
M: Okay. Now? Right now?

609
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
609
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,930
Q1: Always, yeah, now.
M: Yeah. Okay.

610
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
610
00:44:30,930 --> 00:44:33,860
Do you need to look further now?

611
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
611
00:44:33,860 --> 00:44:36,825
Q1: I can do, yeah.
M: Yeah.

612
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
612
00:44:36,825 --> 00:44:40,460
M: Yeah. Good.
Q1: Yeah, yeah. [laughs]

613
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
613
00:44:40,460 --> 00:44:44,599
M: Thank you. Very good.

614
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
614
00:44:47,660 --> 00:44:50,396
And you don't need to talk 
to anybody about it.

615
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
615
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:53,706
Just you sit with that, and watch.

616
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
616
00:44:53,706 --> 00:45:00,790
And however tricky the mind can be,
you remember, it is secondary.

617
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
617
00:45:00,790 --> 00:45:04,100
That which is primary, is seeing that.

618
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
618
00:45:04,100 --> 00:45:08,090
And the mind can come in the form 
of thought or moods or sensation,

619
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
619
00:45:08,090 --> 00:45:10,850
it can appear like confusion,

620
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
620
00:45:10,850 --> 00:45:16,390
it appears as identity, 
but it's still only appearing.

621
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
621
00:45:16,390 --> 00:45:21,680
Can the Self appear? No.

622
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
622
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:26,659
So it causes the appearing 
of the mind play and the diversity.

623
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
623
00:45:26,659 --> 00:45:32,160
But it itself is indescribable actually.

624
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
624
00:45:34,510 --> 00:45:38,300
So at this point I would say, 
sit and contemplate that.

625
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
625
00:45:38,300 --> 00:45:41,430
Yeah. That's all you have to do.

626
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
626
00:45:41,430 --> 00:45:47,390
You see, it sounds as though from what
you write, somebody might think,

627
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
627
00:45:47,390 --> 00:45:51,080
'Wow, I feel she's in real trouble.'
But for me, I think, what a opportunity,

628
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
628
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,800
I got to find out from you,
we can look together.

629
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
629
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,890
And it's all in you. It's all you.

630
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
630
00:46:02,180 --> 00:46:04,244
Very good.

631
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
631
00:46:05,474 --> 00:46:08,734
Would you like some tea or something?
Did you get something or are you okay?

632
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
632
00:46:08,734 --> 00:46:12,800
Q1: I think I have some food waiting for me.
M: Go and eat the food now, it's cold.

633
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
633
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:16,220
That's the only food 
that's worth eating cold right now.

634
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
634
00:46:16,220 --> 00:46:18,484
Q1: It's...

635
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
635
00:46:18,484 --> 00:46:24,030
M: Thank you. Wonderful, darling.
Thank you, thank you, thank you,

636
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
636
00:46:24,030 --> 00:46:28,430
Q1: Thank you so much.
M: Yes. See you in a bit.

637
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
637
00:46:28,430 --> 00:46:32,470
Okay. Okay. 
Q1: Thank you.

638
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
638
00:46:37,580 --> 00:46:40,090
M: If you are earnest, then you must do.

639
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
639
00:46:40,090 --> 00:46:42,590
You can walk the same road.

640
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
640
00:46:42,590 --> 00:46:45,819
It's fresh every time.
