-
Where is the light?
-
Without looking its reflection
on an object, you can't see it.
-
Light you can't see
unless it reflects on some object,
-
maybe persons, mountains,
maybe animals,
-
then you see light...
Likewise.
-
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.'
-
Whole manifestation,
-
with everything, with Creator
up to the blade of grass.
-
Everything that 'I am' has created.
-
When there are clouds in the space,
-
how this space is 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 forms 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 separate..
-
This separation can be removed
-
as soon as you decide
to return home. .
-
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.
-
You've done. 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 now 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 you have 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
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 sprout
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,
-
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 of thinking.
-
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.
