PAPAJI - Nothing is out of Consciousness

Where is the light?

Without looking at 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, you see light.

This consciousness,
how do you become different?

You see, there is a calm ocean,

the ocean is calm. No waves.

It has (the) potentiality of waves
within the ocean.

It's a calm ocean.

When the wave rises,

it finds itself separate from the ocean

by name and form.

So consciousness,

how do you separate
yourself from conscious? How?

How do you separate yourself
from consciousness

and gather here to return to consciousness,

what is the difficulty? Let us explain.

The consciousness,
when it reflects within the consciousness

it will shine as consciousness itself,

(and) there arises the notion.

Consciousness reflecting into the consciousness

and shining as consciousness,

there arises the motion '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,

(and then) we see the differences.

You see the difference.

We see the difference
because of names and forms.

Consciousness is reflecting on the objects

that it has created with the notion 'I am',

all manifestation, with everything,

with Creator and up to the blade of grass,

everything that 'I am' has done.

When there are clouds in the space,

how is the space disturbed?

With the movement of the cloud,
space is not disturbed.

So, likewise, this consciousness,

which has no name and no form
is not disturbed.

So, many things, like other-ness,

this 'I am' looks like the other-ness,

it is created in the form of waves

and ripples and eddies
and so many other things.

Clearly, seeing there is no difference

between anybody and the conscious;

the wise man, howsoever wise he may be,

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 superimposition is a notion

that has been created, actually.

Nothing is out of Consciousness.

Nothing is out of Absoluteness.

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.

This motion 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 are That.

So, how do you become entangled with,

"I am not consciousness.
I am separate."

Where did you borrow this concept
of separateness and suffering?

Once you rid yourself
of this notion of separation

you are free here and now.
You are not to wait.

You are not to wait for time,

and there is no time here also.

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.

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 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, you 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.

(It's) 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,

like this is consciousness.

Only when it reflects
on your own notion of separation

then only you can see.

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,
it is very real in front of you.

In the mirror, you look at your face,
it is very real.

But if the mirror is placed
in front of (another) mirror,

what is seen there?

The mirror in front of (another) mirror,
what do you see?

Reflection of the one mirror,

the same reflection from the other mirror,

this is consciousness.

When you look,
when you look in the mirror,

conscious onto the consciousness,

it shines only as consciousness
and nothing else.

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 the separation.

This was your own creation.
You created it to play.

You can't stay alone, this was boredom,

so you created all these things yourself.

You forgot and again became miserable.

A child goes on the beach.

On the sand, he plays.

On the sand, he makes houses
and makes gardens.

As a child you may have played on the beach.

And then they cooked food also,
all of sand.

And they get so much lost
and attached to that

they don't like to return home.

Then the mother tells,
"It's dark now, let's go back home."

What do 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 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.

Only reminder is necessary.

The mother reminded,
"It's getting late; let us go home."

And the child enjoyed
(with) the same happiness,

destroying all that he had made
with the same pleasure;

with more pleasure he says,
"Come on, let's go."

Like this if will you 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 are not to go anywhere else,

you are not to do anything
to return to your own Self.

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.

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,
do not give rise even to thought;

even that is too much effort.

Even to twinkle your eye
even that is too much effort for you,

even to twinkle an eye.

Even to breathe is too much effort,
even to take breath.

You find your own nature.

There cannot be anything else
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.

Bringing so many things in front of you
and you struggle with these.

But here, you have not to do anything.
You may try.

Just don't think.

Tell me if you suffer.

Oh, how much is it,
without doing anything you are happy.

But with doing any thing,
that brings you hell.

Anything you bring in this peace,
it brings hell.

First of all, it brought the manifestation.

With a single thought
it brought total manifestations

with the beginning not known,
millions of years,

and it continued for millions of years
in the future,

that much you have created
by a single...

only creating this notion, that 'I'. That's all.

if you don't address yourself as 'I',
let us see what happens.

Anyone of you can try.

Don't address, don't give rise
to this ripple 'I', this notion 'I'.

Look before the rise of this motion

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 wait there, see the menu,
and call the waiter, and waste time.

Here, wherever you are,
just spend only a few seconds.

They ask 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,
a mustard seed.

Do you understand mustard seed
or any rai seed?

Or any simlar seed or any seed,
pick up the seed.

Smallest item is a seed.
Mustard seed is small.

Or some other seed, minute seed,

so take that seed and divide it into two.

And take to your own self this simile.

Divide it into two.
Take this half and quarter it, divide it.

Then, subdivide it into
one-thousand parts again.

You have seen a mustard seed?
Or may I show you?

Have you seen, all of you, a mustard seed? No?

You can get one mustard seed,
just to show you,

so that you will understand

what you have to concentrate upon.

So subtle. So subtle.

I want only one. Not all of it.

Show them this.

This is it.

This is a mustard seed.
Can you take it?

See, this is a mustard seed.
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
and subdivide it into one thousand parts.

Take one of the thousandth part,

subdivide it into one million parts.

One million parts of this.

Then one of ten thousand.

One of ten thousand (into) one million times.

Because you can't, you can't.

Into nothing it will disappear.

There may be something, some particle,

Nothing can be destroyed in this world.

Further divide it a 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,

on one billionth part of a mustard seed.

Concentrate on that
and then tell me what 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 the life.

Within the seed, there is a whole tree.
It sprouts into a tree.

In the seed sprouts a tree
with the same fruits and the seed.

This is the manifest from nothingness, you see.

How can you see your Self
unless you have a concept of emptiness,

how can you see anything? Tell me.

Even your own body how can you see

unless you see the background of emptiness,

you can't see that you are yourself.

So here, there is no chance
of even mind thinking anything.

This, you can't even think what you are,

therefore, this process is happening.

Because you think,
you are in this trouble, this problem,

because of thinking.

So, give up this thinking. And see.
Give it a try anytime you like.
