Acceptance
If you accept the world as it is without any rejection, what is it that remains?
Is there a rich and poor.
Is there a knowledge and ignorance.
Is there a superior and inferior.
Please probe into this. Don’t ask any question – Accept. It is not even tolerance. Don’t start comparing and ask any question such as ‘how can there be no poor or no rich’. Stop this ‘how’. Simply accept and see for yourself what is there. Don’t bring in all your ideas. You will be surprised to know that there is no such thing as opposites. But this requires a tremendous amount of insight. This insight comes on its own and you cannot create it.
Can you feel and see the beauty of this no comparison state by mere and simple acceptance of what is, as it is. Please try.
Attraction
Attraction is love discovered. Enjoying that attraction is the continuation of knowing love. Possessiveness prevents it. A flower attracts you which is love and you are attracted towards a flower which is love. There is no possessiveness. When there is no possessiveness there is love which is beauty. Possessiveness makes it ugly. The flower withers. The beauty is lost and it becomes ugly. One can be in love without possessiveness. A place like Ooty etc. attracting you is nothing but love which is beauty. But you fail to notice the love and say the place is beautiful. What is this ‘beautiful’? Examine it. You will find that it is love. How a bee flies towards a flower. You may say it is searching for honey. No. The beauty or love of the flower attracts it. This attraction is a sort of communication. An invitation for you to come nearer. Just go near a flower and be with it. You will definitely feel the love or beauty.
You are attracted towards music because music is love. You are attracted towards a dance because dance is love. A baby attracts you and you will find the baby as love and beauty. Don’t name it. When something attracts you please observe, you will find love. If you know you are love then you will find every thing is attracted towards you. Attachment is non love. Attraction is love. This attraction should be natural, as it is. Not with a make up. This is false attraction. Most of the women indulge in this false attraction. When the make up is gone, the attraction is also gone. This is a simple phenomenon which you will notice every day.
Knowledge of the world
Knowledge of the world is received through thoughts. This receiving is through the ego or false I. With this its function is over. But unfortunately it continues forgetting its purpose in a wrong direction of forming ideas and concepts. It is like a book for knowing something. After reading and understanding there is no need for the book. Similarly after finishing its function the ego or false I should disappear or merge into its source being consciousness. But it continues attracted by objects and the false I feeds it. It may take a long time for the ego to understand it and merge with its source. That is its final destination.
With this merger true knowledge arises or flows from the source which is nonmanifest. To express itself it has to manifest otherwise expression is impossible. This manifestation becomes the true mind for the expression of pure thoughts which is true knowledge which were unknown. It is unconditioned thoughts and out side knowledge is necessary to reveal the true knowledge.
The inner and its nature is expressed by this true knowledge. This is the ‘Realization of the Self’. But the ego gets attached to the glamour of the outer being the world and not you as a person. You don’t exist as a person. You are just ego which is only a bundle of thoughts.
False you disappear in Realization
If you are realized and the body is dropped you don’t die but every thing else or objects die or disappear. Here you are bound to ask a question ‘how do you know? You can only understand this non verbally, if you are Realized. But every thing else or objects, if realized, and the body is dropped, they do not die, but every thing else that appeared for it as objects disappears. But they live as Consciousness. Living is nothing but Consciousness. If there is no Consciousness you will not know living .
The objective world will be known as illusion after discovering true knowledge. With out true knowledge those illusions or objects continue its course till it reaches its goal which is searching itself. This is what science calls as worlds within worlds. Your idea of the world is different from my idea of world. Simultaneously two worlds appearing to exist one within the other. Every person is a world by himself. Every thing is explainable here at the point of true knowledge without any secondary, if you arrive at this point. If you talk about with an idea of some body, you get separated. This talk is only a bundle of thoughts. Therefore, thoughts create separation. A bit difficult to understand here. Please keep trying. Don’t stop.
The drops are inside the whole. When the drop merges or dissolves into the whole the drop disappears but other drops may continue till it merges with the whole. But for the drop merged into the whole those other drops do not exist or not known. As long as you remained as a drop they appeared to exist for you as drops. These drops which appeared to you go on searching for itself or its originality which is there already. Here drop means you and drops mean objects.
After Realization you discover Consciousness which is there already. For you the others have disappeared as separate entities. With the dropping of the body for the others you have disappeared which they call death. But for you as Consciousness others have disappeared. But this remaining or disappearance is only a thought created by mind through senses which are all illusions or dreams. Don’t you think this is a great tamasha?
Mind and its evolution
Originally when mind appeared as matter and man, ego was not formed except recognition identification and instincts. In due course ego was formed which got polluted with desires and separation as I and you, this and that. This led to the forgetfulness of its original nature. This ego was preventing or covering the mind to know its originality as consciousness. Therefore, the mind was going on searching its nature or originality with this polluted condition and having failed, it started changing bodies for the continuation of its journey in search of itself. At one state due to gathering of true knowledge the mind becomes aware of the ego for its failures and drops the ego to know itself. With this dropping of the ego the mind gets purified and it comes to know that it is none other than Consciousness and this is the Realization of the Self but continues projecting itself as objects with the full knowledge of its original nature as Consciousness. Here the desires, attachments etc. drops. The individuality or personality gets dropped. Every thing becomes one whole as Consciousness.
Science today
Electricity and magnetism are the manifestation of a single force called energy.
****
Quarks to man are composed of vibrating strings which are unknown to exist.
****
At quantum level every thing is only probable and nothing can be predicted. You at quantum level may land any where which you cannot predict. You will end up simultaneously all over or in several places of universes. The universe has multi dimensions leading to multi universes and you cannot see its dimensions having been embedded in it. You can observe movement is a dimension within three dimensions.
****
As matter you are a continuous process of appearance and disappearance at an unimaginable speed. This matter appears on a continuum or background of non matter which remains as always the beginning without any end. This back ground is unknown to science. This is the Consciousness which we knew thousands of years ago.
****
Universe within universes means a transparent one going into another transparent one endlessly. Science calls it as baby universes.
****
Consciousness
Consciousness is conscious of every thing but without identification. Are you not just now conscious of every thing? Pure mind is always merged in consciousness when there are no thoughts. It remains just like two sides of a coin. It cannot be separated. It perceives consciousness as objects but at the same time knows its original nature. This mind as it is, is also an illusion because it is nothing but consciousness but functions as an illusory mind only for the purpose of projecting consciousness as objects. This will be known when the mind is free of ego and conditioned thoughts. The consciousness of yours is not based on you but on the outer as objects. You are missing yourself. The visible part of consciousness is the body. But you are not the body. The visibility is an illusion created through the eyes. The seeing is nothing but consciousness. You cannot explain this seeing alone.
Miracles
Miracles are only connected with the body and impure mind having been corrupted by ego. Until man realizes himself as consciousness all the rest appears to act independently appearing as true including miracles which every one likes. But they are illusions. But miracles may happen at Consciousness level where there is no mind or thought of a body.
‘I am doing’ is false
I am here like a doer is just an illusion or ego created by thoughts. Is there a doer of a mirage? It just looks as if it is there but when you go near it, it is not there. The doer is similar to this mirage. If one enquires deeply he will find there is no doer and only doing goes on and if that is enquired further, the doing looks like a cinema or TV show. A sort of dream for nobody. This no body is nothing other than No thing ness which is consciousness.
Ego
Ego is the centre of reflection of others and what has been fed into you as recognizing media or thoughts. This forms the false ‘I’. Only through ego mind can evolve finally to be dropped. Therefore, ego is also necessary. But at one stage you will have to learn to drop it.
This moment
Planning is based on the past adding or subtracting some portions of the past and projected as future. You go to sleep and wake up. This you call the future or tomorrow. In this process the present or the “now’ is missed when there was no yesterday. It is always the now. This moment.
You are used
You are a contingent (temporary) illusion and not an universal necessity. Whether you are there or not the world is not bothered or affected. But you think others will be bothered and develop relationship without love which cannot be sustained. They will be bothered as long as you are useful to them. They will discard you the moment they come to know that you are useless for them any more
Bakthi
Love is Bakthi. Do you love anything when you go to a temple? Do you merge in love? (I am not talking about a woman/man.) You have a hundred and one requests to be made in the temple without knowing where to make the request. But after making the request you get satisfied. Find out who is getting satisfied. Don’t say ‘I’. It is false.
Relationship
If you can relate with anger, why not with love? You just remain as a function or may be action like a machine. With ego you cannot have relationship. Relationship is based on love. It is love. The ego does not know love. Remain in love always. You will be in relationship with every thing. Don’t name it, such as ‘this is my uncle. I am related to him’. Stop this nonsense. Remain in relationship with children. Don’t say ‘this is my daughter or son’. Just be in relation ship with them. (In reality there is no ‘them’ also.) You will be in relationship with every thing. Even with a blade of grass. But you are rejecting it with hate and going for a divorce. Be in relationship with a woman. Don’t give a name to it as ‘my wife’. Clinging to a name as man or woman is not love. It is possessiveness. Who is possessing whom is the big question. No one can give a correct reply.
Death
Withdrawal of thoughts is death. Projection or reprojection of thought is birth. Thoughts only appear and disappear. This is seen by the mind as birth and death and not by man. If you know this you will laugh at death. Nothing is born and nothing dies. You are just a mind doing this rubbish work. Birth is only the ego which is the ‘I’ thought. Thoughts create the universe. One has to struggle to get rid of this ridiculous illusion.
Witness
The real you is only a witness of all happenings. The world is not out side but inside you as consciousness. But you identify you with the body and therefore, the world appears out side. But
certainly you are not the seer or the doer. Only your eye sees. The body is used by the mind to do anything. The mind perceives itself as objects and you as a person don’t exist at all. Don’t use your nonsensical intellect here. It will not work.
Guru
Guru or Master is not the body or its name. It is the whole. You will not understand this now. But of course many pose as Gurus. But you cannot identify the real one because you are ignorant.
You are only after fulfilling your desires and think these false Gurus can help you. No. Nobody can help you. You have to help yourself and here you get stuck in desires. Drop these useless desires. Don’t compare yourself with others. It cannot be done. You are unique by yourself. Why you want to be somebody?
Questions should stop
Since the experiencer, the experiencing and experienced are all one, it may be called by any name. You may call it illusion or dream or imagination or real. But the illusion of separation due to ego gives different names and meanings to one and the same. With the disappearance of the ego questions automatically stop and only new answers pour into you and all your so called doubts are cleared automatically.
Recognition
Don’t seek recognition. It will only strengthen your ego. This is what exactly you are doing all your life. Seeking recognition. Others should think ‘I am rich’. ‘I possess a luxury car’,’ I
have a beautiful flat’ etc. By this you have converted your life of love into a materialistic life full of misery. Don’t say the entire world is doing this. There is no world apart from you. Wake up? You have slept for a long time. It is enough.
Formlessness
You are neither the body nor the mind. You are beyond these, as Consciousness. The body and mind are required to know this. But you as thoughts get stuck with body and thoughts take you as body for a ride and you disappear or die without knowing this and the journey continues till this truth is known. But you as thoughts don’t allow it to happen and say I enjoy life and I am happy and never bothered to know your true Self. What is wrong with you?
The formless one appearing as form is mind which in turn appears as energy. This appearance itself is an illusion because formlessness cannot become form. What is a form or object? It is a condensed form of energy which has no form. The mind does not have a form. Your thoughts do not have a form. But you consider the body as a form without knowing its illusory nature. The nature of illusion is nothing. Therefore, your body is nothing and you as thoughts give so much of importance to it.
Snippets 1
Awareness is here and now. Here is the space and now is the time. In awareness there is no ego. If there is no ego there is love. Love is a happening and not a doing by you.

In dream one takes different bodies and in waking one dreams of several senses. If you know this every thing will appear as dream which is nothing but your own projection as mind.

Happiness is only in Absolute – free from pain and pleasure. But you think pleasure is happiness. A momentary pleasure of getting a car or jewelry appears to you as happiness.

How are you
When people come to my house I ask out of courtesy “How are you all” (I know there is no meaning in this enquiry). With this my conversation ends. But they expect some thing more in the form of gossip in which I am not interested. It is not a question of interest. I am simply not able to do it. How to make them understand? May be they leave my place cursing me. If it is a matter of ‘Truth’ words just flows out of the mouth. It cannot be stopped and explained.
This is what is going on here for many years. Who is to be blamed? I don’t know. What is blame? I don’t know.
They may not know that I am knowing so many things from them in my silence.
What is happiness?
Happiness is internal. But people seek it outside. They think materials or objects can bring them happiness. On the contrary it will only strengthen the ego. Unless this ego and the thoughts concerning it is thoroughly enquired and eradicated one will be led from one object to another.
He will never be satisfied in the whole of his life. Jumping from one object to another and trying to possess them. This possessiveness cannot bring happiness. He becomes restless. The whole life will only reflect this restlessness. With such a chaotic condition how can one know happiness and be with it?
I will say mind is money. Other than making money nothing is being done by thoughts which you call man. When every thing is money oriented how can happiness ever exist. All actions performed by man who is nothing but a bundle of thoughts is oriented towards money which is matter and is the product of the poisoned mind. This poisoning happened to the beautiful mind because of conditioned thoughts. “I want to be like him” has become the primary motto of life and the result is you suffer. No one else is responsible for this. You have yourself done this atrocity for yourself and have killed the happiness.
Objective world can never make you happy. It may give you an occasional pleasure which is only short lived. Once happiness is known, it is with you forever. It is the combination of love and beauty internally. It is beyond this poisoned mind and thoughts. Man is actually searching for this happiness but lands in misery because of his comparisons. He fails to know himself. This true himself is beyond body and mind. He cannot approach himself with this useless conditioned thoughts. Once he discovers himself, he will come to know that this is imperishable – forever.
All the glamour of the world and objects are only dreams. But the beauty is that there is no dreamer. Every action is like this. There is no doer who does anything. This doing is also a dream. Mind is actually dreaming the world and thinks as if the body is participating in doing several things. This is all the work of thoughts getting submerged in illusions and at the same time searching for happiness which it does not know.
The so called people run based on thoughts or the thoughts make the body run. These thoughts are short lived and goes on changing without any end while mind perceives the world as remaining out side. The world is inside you. See it internally. It is a tiny speck or a dot which also disappears leaving only silence, peace and happiness for ever.
Who is going to know this happiness? Can the illusionary man with his conditioned thoughts ever reach?
You were existing before your birth
This may appear to you as ridiculous and rubbish. You suddenly did not jump into this world. You were a sperm in your father and simultaneously you were an egg in your mother. You cannot deny this scientifically. At sperm or egg state what was your priory? You were some thing in your grand father and grand mother and this process goes on endlessly. In fact you existed in some form or without form from an endless period before your birth which you call time. In time you existed ever since time started. You have now bloomed as an individual with a body. This is the state in which you can know yourself. But you get lost in the glamour and vagaries of the world. This knowing yourself is prevented by the ego. This prevention happens due to the creation of a false identity called ‘I’.
You will have to go very deep into this so called ‘I’ and find out its root or the source from which it arose. This is also prevented by the so called ego which is nothing but a bundle of thoughts. Therefore, thoughts preventing itself in knowing its source. That is, in plain worldly language you are preventing yourself in knowing yourself and nobody is responsible for this except you.
You don’t disappear altogether from the universe. Even death cannot make the real you disappear. Death only reduces the body to its elements which merges with its own source. The life force for which you may give a name is still there in its own source untouched. This knowledge is unknown to you because you are operating within a limited sphere of thoughts which are not yours. Borrowed limited thoughts. Even up to this point of knowledge is unknown to you. You are caught in a web of illusions and you do not know how to come out of this web.
The will of knowing yourself is always available to you. The trouble is you don’t want to know yourself. You preconclude every thing and expect this conclusion to happen and your life is full of this preconclusions. ‘I want to become that’. This becoming of some thing is all that you know or your ambition in life. You miss the bus here. You don’t ask the question ‘why I want to become some thing other than what I am’. If you ask this question to yourself you will find the answer. But you don’t want to, due to your ignorance. Therefore, you get stuck in this web like a fly and die.
Don’t you want to know your real Self, your endless nature, your enormity and know death is rubbish?
Man is a visiting card
Consciousness manifests as mind with an identity as mind simultaneously. (Two sides of one coin). Mind manifests with a different identity as energy. (Again two sides of one coin). Energy manifests with another identity as matter. (Two sides of one coin). Matter manifests as forms which is the world, cosmos, man etc. (two sides of one coin) Man is just a visiting card for matter. The visiting card does not reveal matter wholly. Man is just a map of matter which does not reveal matter. He will not accept he is matter but blabber that he is a living thing. A worm is also a living thing. Is he equal to a worm? In fact he is, but he will say he has intelligence. Does he have? What ever he has and considers as intelligence are only thoughts stuffed into his brain. He operates only within this field of limited thoughts which cannot be intelligence. He cannot say that he knows every thing.
If and when these identities are removed or disappear, what remains is only Consciousness. You can give any name to it. If you give a name to it, it will create a visiting card. We have printed so many visiting cards for this with different names. We have one such funny visiting card called as ‘AIDS Amman’.
These identities imagine that it is real and separate entities. Just like a map thinking that it is earth. These identities should come to know its source. It has to lose its false identity and know it is some thing else. (This does not mean man will disappear)
Man has a visiting card which is the ‘I’. This I is composed of only thoughts which came to man from various sources which are only visiting cards. This I is the ego. But man imagines ego as arrogance etc. If this ‘I’ be made to know its source, it will come to know it is false and does not exist other than a bundle of thoughts. Only here intellect helps. One step above, this intellect should disappear. It becomes useless. Otherwise this intellect will stick to bookish knowledge and all that it had come to know based on the world and objects. Only when intellect disappears intelligence arises.
This one step above the intellect is the real journey which is internal and not based on the outer being objects and the world. Meditation helps in this internal journey. But one stops here seeking material benefits which is out side. It is contradictory. It has to continue with a deep enquiry about this false I. This very deep inquiry about the wrong self as I will reveal the truth. To know this revelation which is the true knowledge is the only goal of life. But man fixes imaginary goals and runs after it. These goals are only money oriented, material and out side. This can never give man happiness which is internal. On the other hand each of such false goals will only increase his head aches which is misery. He will not know how to come out of it. You can notice this misery in day to day life. The more money you have, the more restless you become. Misery increases.
Can you get rid of such visiting cards? It is open to you. You must have the will and every one has it. Don’t reject will and throw off these useless visiting cards.
SNIPPETES 2.
1. Get rid of likes and dislikes.
2. Any arguments put forth will only strengthen ego.
3. Watch deeply inside turmoil going on because you have brought the out side into you.
4. You don’t have any view of your own. It is based on the outer being the surroundings. This is untrue as your own view.
5. What is urge? Watch.
6. There is no out or in only in Samadhi..The body is in the false outer for the purpose of visualization or perception.
7. The body is an illusion appearing to live externally to see every thing external
8. For the mother the child is always a child and appears beautiful. It is her own reflection of love which is beauty and not her ignorance. But for the same mother other children may look ugly because her lack of love alone is reflected.
9. When you are non judgmental there is neither seriousness nor non seriousness.
10. In judgment and choice every thing as false arises but appears as real.
11. What you see is not real. Your ego is only projected as what it is.
12. You are projecting yourself and want it to satisfy you.
13. What you see is nothing but you but perceived by ego as different entity.
14. The seer is seen but the ego thinks it as different.
15. You are the world. You are projecting the world and finding fault with it. Accept it.
16. Enquire deeply of instincts, urges and thoughts. What are they, from where do they come? What ever I may say here will only fall into deaf ears.
A question on drinking etc
Qus: I don’t like people drinking and doing certain other things.
Ans: This is based on likes and dislikes, personal inconveniences and your own concepts. (I don’t say one should do it) This shows that you want them to be other wise. You want a tamarind tree to be a neem tree so that you can like it. It may or may not become like you. But why do you want this change? On the other hand they may want you to be like them. Here who wants whom to change? Don’t you accept a child as it is or do you want it to suddenly grow into man/woman so that you can like them because they may look like you as grown ups. Don’t you accept your husband/wife. If you don’t accept life will turn miserable. If you accept the other, the other will also start accepting you, but gradually.
The truth is they are your own reflections. They are reflecting themselves in you. The inner quality of the mind (subconscious mind) of xyz is reflected as some thing in you. You always reflect yourself in others as what you are with all your qualities either hidden or visible. They (xyz as mind) may perceive themselves as some thing good without knowing the rubbish residing in them collected in the past through various bodies which many times reflects in you.
That is their past is reflected by you and your past is reflected by them. Of course the present is also reflected in both - being you and others.
A realized one can only act as a mirror reflecting others with their forms either past or present. That is seeing yourself as what you are in a Realized one which is like a mirror. You will find different different forms of yours being reflected if you notice very carefully with out winking your eyes.
The talks of the realized one many times lead to non understanding by others. Silence transmits so many truths which you failed to understand through talks. Stop likes, dislikes. Just see things as it is without any comment. These things only reflect you as what you are and what you were, your likes and dislikes. Now tell me what is drinking etc.? Don’t try to change a rose into some thing. You will miserably fail.
The mind may perceive your body and its actions as some thing good but you may be reflected as bad in others and you think they are bad instead of knowing that it is you who is reflected as bad in others. This you can notice in day to day life. You may think you are a good person but others may feel other wise. How? This is the reason. You are reflected in others. Your hidden qualities are reflected in others.
This is the Truth.
Truth explained
‘What is’ or Consciousness is reflected as pure mind or Universal mind. This Universal mind is reflecting itself as energy. This energy is reflecting itself as matter. This matter is reflecting itself as cosmos. This cosmos is reflecting itself as galaxies. These galaxies reflect themselves as world, planets etc. Endless reflections. To perceive it some medium is required. This medium is reflected as man. Through man the world is perceived. This man is nothing but an instrument for this perception. This perception requires identification and recognition. Therefore, some thing is required or has to be projected which is the ego. This ego is the ‘I’ which consists of only thoughts for perception. But at one state it got separated and started calling itself as a separate entity. This separation is the cause of misery and all the troubles and turmoil’s going on in the world. (Don’t ask as to why and how it got separated. You will never get an answer with your intellect. Know yourself. You will get the answer)
If this ego awakens it will start searching for true knowledge and not the knowledge required for identification or recognition. In this search it comes to know the true knowledge and realizes that it is not a separate entity and starts the journey of knowing its root or source. Once it finds its root, it comes to know the real meaning of every thing. This real meaning is that it is nothing but a projection of the Universal mind and through it the whole world is projected. Therefore, man is nothing but a projection of ego. This truth he should understand and that is the purpose of the so called birth.
As the journey advances, gradually it is known that birth and death are nothing but a projection or reflection of the Universal mind to project a body for the purpose of perception of the world etc. The body is the projection or reflection or shadow of the Universal mind which houses (body) the ego and thoughts. Body is just a residence for the thoughts which is ego. Death is nothing but the disappearance of thoughts and all perceptions. If this truth is unrealized the thoughts as ego goes on seeking residences which are the bodies. These residences are nothing but shadows of the Universal mind. Death and birth are nothing but the appearance of these shadows. There is no person as such ever existed so that he can die.
You are duped
After the Universal mind appears which you call waking every thing is up side down. You become I, and I become you. If you say I am good, only your goodness is reflected by me but perceived by thoughts or ego as if I am good.
You see butterflies flying around and say they look beautiful. Here you are reflecting as butterflies, you are the butterflies but give a wrong statement as ‘I see butterflies’. You are the world and the world is you. This appearance of illusion happens due to the mind projecting no thing as some thing. For doing this the mind which itself is Consciousness (No thing) has to become some thing. Therefore, it becomes an illusory energy. The rest of it you know.
Kannai nambathey unnai ematrum
Kannai nambathey Nee kanum thotram
Unnai ematrum, unmai illadhadhu’.
The world is your own projection/You are already Realized
The world is your own projection. (Here you means mind). This includes all the objects in it. (Your intellect will refuse to accept this fact). Because the world arises after you as Mind arise after sleep. It is immediately followed by thoughts arising which creates ego as a false ‘I’ with all its ideas and concepts. If you as ‘I’ don’t arise after sleep there will be no perception of the world. But Man thinks he is different, a separate entity which was already existing. This is only a thought. This separation and its apparent continuation are caused by the ego as ‘I’ which is a bundle of thoughts. This ego or the individual mind does not know that the Universal mind is also projecting the world and the objects from different angles (through others). This is what science calls as worlds within worlds and Universes within universes. Therefore, what is projected is reprojected at Universal mind level. That is through you the world is projected and through the world you are projected. So the projector is projected or the seer is seen. What ever forms are projected it is not that someone projects them because he himself is a projection of what he projected. (I know you will get stuck here because of the limited knowledge). Then who is this projector? The projector is the Universal mind converting formlessness into forms. Unmanifest into manifest. What it projects? It projects Consciousness as objective world. One such projection are bodies and through these projections of the bodies the world and objects are perceived which are in fact are not there. This is like a mirror reflecting another mirror but perceived by the mirror as some thing seen as forms which is false. (Can you understand this?)
Just like you project the world and its objects, they project you as a form (Man). The projector is reprojected. At this point can you explain this phenomenon? Not possible. Some thing like a cinema running on a screen projecting the cabin including the projector, its film and operator who jointly projected the cinema. The projector is reprojected. If you do not project anything nothing reprojects you. This is what your sleep is. The senses help the mind for this wrong perception. Remember it is only a perception by mind through senses and not true. This perception itself is the projection of mind. To put it in simple terms, you project your husband/wife and husband/wife projects you. If you understand this truth, where is the question of a miserable family life and claiming that ‘I did every thing etc. My husband/wife is a fool’. Life starts actually here and not before.
Whatever miseries are there is nothing but your own projection as ego. These miseries are reflected as feelings and emotions. There are no forms for these emotions and feelings. You cannot explain them in words. If you go deep you will find every thing ultimately leads to formlessness including your body. This is the pure Consciousness, formless. Some people out of ignorance give a fancy name as God. This is where you get stuck up with a name. Several such names are created by thoughts. Millions of Gods. All your Gods are thought oriented.
The Consciousness is always with you. Without it you cannot move an inch. If you still want to use a word as God then ‘God is always with you’ and you go on searching him or it or whatever it be all over, wasting your money and energy seeking favours, to fulfill your desires. Can this ever happen? When it happens automatically, you think that you have been favoured by your prayers. Your prayer is nothing but asking for some material benefits which can never happen because your concept of a God cannot do it. If so the world will be a paradise. Every one will be happy. Every one will be rich. There cannot be any one falling sick. Every one will live endlessly. Understand this fact. But your religions will never allow you to do it.
If you know love, you project love. If there is a form before you as boy/girl who knows love, that form projects love. This you call as ‘I love that girl and the girl also loves me’. This is a wrong idea. Therefore, short lived and both don’t know what love is but they realize it for a short while and jump into possessiveness which is marriage. They think it is physical. If they know love it continues whatever may come in between. Only love exists and not between two bodies. The bodies are illusions created by mind which are not there but perceived to be there.
Always remember this: ‘The Universal mind perceives no thing as the world and body. The body or brain perceives this no thing as objects through thoughts’.
I know this is more than understanding Greek and Latin. But try. If you succeed, you are the most gifted one in this world (I mean it). The Universe is only waiting for this jubilation. If you throw away your ideas and thoughts, you are just now like that, Realized.
Snippets 3
What is said today is not applicable in time as tomorrow. Because time is false. The today which you see is altogether new but perceived as a continuation of yesterday. This is only a wrong perception just for the sake of giving continuity for the perception. What ever is seen is only new. See every thing as new. You will find the world looking beautiful. When ever you go to the beach don’t you see it as new? Have you ever complained that you are seeing an old beach? Don’t you see the flower in your garden as new every day?
****
Life is a joke. It is like a TV show or a cinema show. What you see is not there but appears to be there. Fit for seeing and enjoying and not for carrying it. If you carry the show all complications will arise. We always do it and land in trouble. What we carry are only likes and dislikes. This is bound to make your life miserable. If you scold your child it does not carry it. The next moment it will forget it and cling to you. Become a child and the problems get solved by itself.
****
The purpose of ego is just for identification and recognition. This identification and recognition is language and words. This happens through senses such as seeing and hearing. This will have to lead you to know yourself or the truth. But you succumb to the glamour of the world and start chasing it due to comparisons and desires. You forget you are chasing a shadow.
****
What is man after all, but for the thoughts and body. Did you ever notice thoughts appear and disappear on its own from nowhere? Did you ever notice what is it that appears when you wake up? It is the mind. When the mind appears all the rest follow-the world, man etc. Understand that they are only appearances for the mind. There is no ‘you’ for whom it appears.
****
I am
I have been taking you slowly from one state to another. Hope you are progressing. If you have progressed, you will know and understand the following:
If you know yourself you will come to know that every thing is you. You are me and I am you. (This you, I, that, this etc. don’t exist as such but used for you (having got separated) to understand) When some one is affected you will know you are being affected. If a terrorist kills some one, he does not know he is killing himself. You will know this fact. You are being killed as others. This may look funny, foolishness or madness. But this is the truth. I am the world and the world is me. To put it very simply we are the world and the world is we. You as a single individual don’t exist at all. If you (?) wake up to this fact you will find a car on the road is you.
The tree is you. The flowers are you. The song is you. The singer is you. The dance is you. The dancer is you. Love is you. The lovers is you. The father and mother is you. The son is you.What more you need other than this beauty, amazement and wonder. What happened to your anger, jealousy, desire etc.? They vanish.
But you are searching yourself else where with a personal desire. Please go deep into you. There is nothing else for you to do other than this. Know yourself. That is all to achieve. We can go on talking endlessly with our intellectual knowledge. Raising questions and seeking answers. It will lead no where. It may get you money and fame including a Nobel prize. But they all become nothing before you as yourself.
Mind in unison with Consciousness
Mind acting in unison with Consciousness just like sound arising out of a violin is the state of non manifest and manifest together. Simultaneous. (According to science waves and particle together) Two sides of one coin. This is exactly the real ‘You’. The non manifest is Consciousness and the manifest is Universal mind as energy and matter. Just now you are like that. But you don’t know it.
This manifest has to be known. It has to be felt, seen and understood. By whom and how? Some thing is required here which is the body. This body suddenly can not come from some where by itself. Therefore, sex is required for the procreation of this body. Due to sexual act a fusion of an egg and a sperm takes place which develops into a brain and further develops into a body. The body cannot know itself and recognize itself. Therefore, some thing is required which are senses.
These senses are accommodated in the body for this purpose produced by the brain. The experiences of the senses have to be deciphered for the purpose of knowing. These senses cannot be known to themselves unless some thing further happens. Therefore, thoughts are required. These thoughts come from several sources out of sensory experiences. The thoughts identify the senses though it may not be the senses. In other words thoughts are senses. Other wise it cannot know the experiences of the senses. Just like sugar is sweetness. Both thoughts and senses remain together. Two sides of one coin. These thoughts for its own survival has to depend on some thing else also. Because thoughts cannot remain as it is in one place. Therefore, it creates the ego as a false ‘I’ which is nothing but a bundle of thoughts. These thoughts arising out of experiencing are recorded in the brain as memory. These memories are released based on the present situation for the purpose of action and reaction through neuron waves.
These memories and thoughts are false because they cannot reproduce the experiences or remain as experiences. A thought of sweetness cannot produce the experience of sweetness. Therefore, any concept about anything is false. What ever your idea or concept or thought is totally false.
Now tell me who are you and what are you? Please find out.
Reaction for nothing and from nobody
Some body says ‘you are a fool’. Did you care to find out whom he is calling a fool. Is he calling the body a fool? Can the body understand what he said? Who else is there? May be a thought which is not stationary. Can thoughts be affected by this? If so it will also get affected if some one else calls somebody a fool. Is thought a matter? If so a chair will also get affected. Then who is it that is affected? Don’t say I. It is only a thought. It is false and you are reacting for nothing. Or to put it simply the thought is reacting unknowingly by producing a reactive thought. Then who are you? Your entire life goes on like this. Some body praises and you think you are being praised when there is no ‘you’ at all. All your reactions are from nobody and for nothing and what to say about actions. With this background you are acting. Is this fun or madness? I leave it to you. Actions are required for self defense, hunger and physical pain. Unknowingly you start accumulating wealth to prevent it. Can you prevent it with wealth? They are also short lived and pass off with the limited and required reactions which are not applicable for any other thing. In job just act don’t react. Reaction means you are expecting something. This expectation will land you in misery. Just do your job for job’s sake.
We have some how got addicted to reactions. Get rid of it.
Something to laugh and get headache
You are born. Why? You don’t know and may say your parents are responsible for it. Fine. What you do subsequently? You don’t do anything but your parents send you to school. Why? You don’t know. If you ask your parents they may say ‘what else to do with you’. (Internally they may have a desire of making you something and derive fame out of you. They have made you a ‘Thing’) Subsequently what happens? They may send you to higher studies if they are financially strong. If they are, you may go for higher studies. What sort of study is selected? Your parents desire that you should make a lot of money and bring them fame and you desire otherwise. Finally some one succeeds. So an investment is made on you. A gamble they and you undertake. If they are ignorant you start influencing them regarding your choice of higher education. After this what you do? You start searching for a job so that you can make money. If you succeed, you start making money. Why do you do this? To enjoy the pleasures and sophistications of life. Can your parents who are the major part of your education have the same enjoyment? No. They will be satisfied with someone talking some bullshit about you (internally some thing will be boiling.) Why do you want to enjoy the sophistications of life? Because you like it. Why do you like it? Because of the pleasure it gives you and the praises you get from your friends and relatives. Are these praises true or coming out of jealousy? You don’t know. Can you stop with the pleasure? No. You want fame and credit for it. Here where is the part of your parents except to hear that their son/daughter is great etc. This hearing from others gives them pleasure. You may be ill treating them. That is a different matter. Further what you do? Either you go after a girl or you may want your parents to arrange for your marriage. What for? Only for sex. Love occasionally shows its head and gets killed. After this what happens? You start procreating. Then what happens? You start doing the same rubbish thing what your parents did. Both your parents and you as a parent one day vanish. This is the so called life you are leading. Always competing for fame and money finally to die. Here death is certain. You cannot postpone it. Can you escape this certainty? You never thought of it for a moment. For you every one will die and you alone will live. You can’t say how long.
The sum total of this is only for the enjoyment of pleasure and finally surrender it to a fellow called death whom you do not know and he simply knocks you down. In the mean while your idiotic parents also suffer and the idiotic you also suffer. You may, I repeat may, come across a little pleasure finally to die. Is this the meaning of life you lead? Yes. For you this is the meaning of life always money oriented. Pleasure oriented. Is there any other meaning to it? Find out. That is your headache.
Can love be sustained
In the present fast world where every one is running can love be there? This is a big question one should ask him/herself provided if they know what love is. If, I repeat IF, they know there may not be this running. Because, love is inaction. In stillness you will find love. For this stillness, you require leisure. If you get some leisure time you say it is boring and go for some sort of entertainment and you kill love by avoiding leisure. I don’t say you should not entertain yourself.
But can you see love in that entertainment. For example you go out with your kid and buy him a toy. Did you notice the love in him? Buying a toy is also an entertainment. You go out with your wife/husband for shopping and buy some thing. Did you notice the love in the other. If the other is coming out for your sake there will not be love. It will be a mechanical act. You become a machine. If this buying is done on a comparison basis your outing does not arise out of love but becomes a mechanical one. You will find love in any thing provided there is no hurry or comparison or expectation. Just doing some thing, for the love of it. Prepare a pot of tea just for the love of it. Drink it slowly. Enjoy every drop of it. You will find you are tasting love. Don’t be in a hurry to drink it. Do it leisurely, calmly.
All most all our actions arise mechanically. Every outing comes on the basis of some information from some source. In this there will be expectations. With expectations love cannot be there. Cannot you simply go out with out any aim? Some where, without any purpose. Watch, you will see love. Love is not with a purpose. Find out whether you go out with a purpose. What is the purpose of your life? Can you explain?
You are a No thingness
What remains as existing is only a No thingness, a living emptiness. Only after this knowledge of emptiness or shunya or nirvana or poornam the world can be seen as a dream when mind, ego and body loses its separation and become an inseparable wholeness and every thing can be seen without any attachment and desires. Every thing is beauty and love. Every thing will become a wonder. You become every thing.
Illusions are created by the Universal mind (which is itself Consciousness) as world etc. You are a No thing but projected as an illusory body and through this body the world is dreamt by Universal mind. This Universal mind also merges finally into a living emptiness which Buddha called Shunya. Jains called Nirvana. Hindus called Poornam. Zen called No thingness. Islam called every thing is God and Christianity called it ‘Thou art that’. But every religion today stick to an imaginary God. They stick to rituals and are lost forever leading to internal fights, killings and amassing wealth finally to die. What is the meaning of life for them?
Time is false
In no movement and no thought there is no time. Time is created only due to movement after a thought. You would have noticed that when you do things without a thought there is no time. For example you start brushing your teeth, taking bath etc. without any engagement before you, there is no time. But thoughts will appear subsequently and say it is boring and you will have to do something and you will jump into action. Stop here and watch. You make the body move using thoughts. I don’t say you should not. But observe this phenomena. What is it that is moving? Is it the thought or the body? Can the body move without thoughts? When and how? If you observe, ninety percent of the movement of the body every day is only automatic. May be a thought preceding it and make it a reactive movement. If this reaction is not there the body may move in a thoughtless state or it may not move at all.
In wandering without any aim there is no time. Just try this wandering and see the world as it is and not any specific object. See the roads. See the shops. See the people. See the trees etc. Come back home and tell me whether you noticed any time. But what happens is people start calling on others and indulge in gossip. This gossip creates an emptiness after it was over because it came from loneliness They will also find time was not there. When time is not there what is the meaning of hours, days, years etc. Your wrist watch time is only to organize events and it does not create days, years etc. The movement of earth is also not creating them. It is only a mental concept. There were several TV shows proving man gets mentally disoriented when confined to a limited space with out a clock and wrist watch. This disorientation appears only to the observer out side and not for the man in the confined space. Man is caught in this non existing time. All his actions have become time oriented or thought oriented. In sleep you don’t have any time or a concept of time. When you wake up, only on seeing a clock you say I slept for so many hours. Till then you cannot say this.
Moving in timelessness is a thing to be experienced. Why go to space. You can do it here
Loneliness and accumulating objects is your ego
A psychological study of happiness revealed that ‘the satisfaction of buying objects is short lived and dependent on continued repetition’. That is continuous buying. That is why you go on purchasing and accumulating objects most of which you seldom use. I am sure one will have more than a dozen T shirts and pants/sarees most of which are hardly used, This is socially, morally and environmentally wasteful. If you check up your household you will find ninety percent of the objects you possess are wasteful. On the other hand the experiences of buying rather than the objects purchased, produces satisfaction. Remember this before you buy anything. You are buying objects just for the satisfaction of doing it.
You are caught in this satisfaction which may be due to your idleness or comparisons. This short lived satisfaction you think is happiness. Your happiness is nothing but this satisfaction. Now tell me what about people who don’t have money to spend extravagantly or when you become old what will you do. Perhaps you may live with the memory of such purchases and will certainly feel that you are unable to do it now and go on brooding over it. So why not stop with basic requirements of your day to day life. You will find it difficult because you cannot show off, if you have the money. If there is no money what will you do? That is the reason you run to U.S.A. to make money in a short span doing all sorts of work. Working for more than twelve hours, which you will hesitate to do it here. Why? You will be surprised to know that ninety percent of scavengers in Kerala are mostly caste Hindus from Tamilnadu. Why can’t they do it here? The ego prevents it.
Just try this. Sit at home close your eyes and start feeling aloneness. Don’t say it is boring. If you say it is boring that means your thoughts are affecting you. Your thoughts induce you into movement. The aloneness has become loneliness. Convert this loneliness into aloneness. When you are worried and if someone disturbs you don’t you say ‘Please leave me alone’. Why do you say this? Because basically you are alone always but you don’t know. Knowing this is knowing your real Self.
You are hidden in yourself
This may look rubbish to you. You are just like milk. You will have to churn this milk to get the cream out of it. This cream or butter is you, the real you. This churning has to be done with the mind. For this you will have to know what mind is. You must have the knowledge about mind. You will have to read books and listen to talks from correct sources. You may be misled. Be careful. After obtaining the knowledge and experience get rid of these books and talks. You need not carry your 1st standard books once you go to the 2nd standard. Remember this. The religious talks which you hear in several places are only with the books. The talkers have not thrown them off. They may not have the knowledge and the experience. Just bookish knowledge. Useless.
This butter which I am talking about is to go beyond mind using mind itself as an instrument. That is the mind should know itself. This may look funny to you. What is your mind? Just a bundle of thoughts not belonging to you. They have come from all over. Analyze thoughts. From where it came? Why it came? Why I should accept? Just now you are a conformist. Get rid of this conditioning and be a nonconformist. This you can do only by questioning and remember not rubbish questions to show off your useless knowledge.
Once you are on the right path you will progress automatically. Find out what mind is, so that you can go beyond it. If you go beyond mind, you will suddenly come across your hidden real self. You need a teacher who has found it. Not all these rubbish Gurus whom you see in thousands. Their job is to make money and create an empire. The present day religions cannot lead you. They are dead.
Try to churn out this butter.
Understanding yourself
Understanding of every thing, but without the knowledge of anything. Knowledge involved a knower and all the infinite diversity of the known and knowable things. But here, behind his closed lids, there was neither a spectacle nor a spectator. There was only this experienced fact of being blissfully one with the oneness – Aldous Huxley. A beautiful truth. All our scriptures of every religion only said this. Can you follow this?
I will put it in simpler word which is ‘Dhyanam’. You may call it Meditation which is only a stepping stone. The West was not aware of this. They are coming to know this now. But our Gurus with their bookish knowledge spoil them for the sake of making money. I don’t know how this man Huxley came to know it. Now West has started teaching East. What a pity? We were the sole monopolists in the entire world thousands of years ago but we lost the track. We are now trying to know it for the material benefits and our Gurus make a fast buck. Other saffron Gurus drag people into dead religion. Other religions also do it. We are the sufferers. Can any man with a little amount of intelligence ask a question as to how this Dhyanam can get material benefits? Are they not duping the people?
For understanding yourself Dhyanam or Meditation is necessary with out any question of ‘How I will be benefited materially or otherwise?’ This is the real path of a true seeker of real knowledge. All the rest of the knowledge is based on the outer. The real knowledge is about the inner which you never knew. Dhyanam is nothing but coming to a thoughtless state without concentrating on any thing. Simply be yourself. No questions. They are thoughts. You will start the journey of understanding yourself. This is the only thing you can learn in life and all the rest of the outer world is just like a cinema show a dream. This dream you will come to know slowly. But you will get dragged into the vagaries of the outer world. This is the greatest resistant which you will have to over come. It takes time. You will have to get rid of all your conditioned thoughts.
Throw the idea of ‘If I do this, I will get that’. You may not know the truth that what ever is needed for the body automatically comes to it. I know you will ask a hundred questions here. You are free to ask these question once you throw off all your conditioned thoughts. Throw away all the conditioned thoughts and ask any question. Can you? Is it possible?
Question yourself
You cannot cross a place which you do not know. You must have some knowledge about the place first before you venture into any action of crossing. Similarly first you will have to know yourself before going beyond yourself. Don’t tell ‘Why should I? That means you don’t want to know yourself. Why? Are you afraid of yourself?. Can you tell me what you are?. Maximum you may say I am the body. Is it true? Did you find out? The body does not say it is me. But you will continue talking rubbish. You don’t know yourself but you want to know about others. Are you a fool?
You will have to find out what you are. That is, what are your components. But you refuse to find this component and go on day dreaming about a future based only on how to possess the most sophisticated objects. This is your present goal in life today. You cannot deny this. One says that he got married to a rich girl/boy and goes on talking about various expensive gadgets which he/she possesses. Another says he/she is employed in a multinational company and getting a fat salary. Did you ever think for a second what you are talking about? Do you know that your boasting of yourself creates jealousy in others. Are you not punishing others by saying this. Creating jealousy in others is a punishment. If they themselves do it, it is a different matter. They succumb to misery. But you are the root cause. With this sort of ego what is that you can know about yourself, All your boastings or show offs are based only on the material objects. This will not lead you to any knowledge of yourself. After all you may say I am the body and start decorating it to compete with some one else. When you stand before a mirror and comb your hair don’t you have some one in your mind – either a cine star or some one better than you. Why you do this? Answer this question for yourself. By such questioning continuously before all your actions you will start coming to know yourself gradually. The trouble is you don’t ask any question to yourself. Forget putting questions to others. You are only interested in questioning others.
Is it not a shame on your part to say that I don’t know myself but I know about others. What rubbish you are talking? You always want to know about others and expect praises from them. They also do the same. Is this life? How do you say you are living? Answer these questions. Don’t talk any nonsensical things about mind which you do not know. What is mind? You will blink. You have been trained to question others and not yourself. It is always the other driver who is at fault. Know your fault first, that is know yourself.
Music
Music is love. In music you can experience the mind merging with Consciousness. You can experience this merger which is Bliss. The only requirement is to forget your concept of some one is singing and you are hearing. Only singing and hearing alone is there. Close your eyes and hear the music. All complications start because you start identifying a singer and a hearer. This singer and hearer is an illusion caused by thoughts and senses. Without these thoughts there is no singer and hearer. The concept of body as ‘I’ creates this separation. The truth is, there is no singer or the hearer. Both are one. Just like a sound arising out of a drum. With out drum there is no sound and without sound there is no drum. Here you may say ‘The drum is there without producing any sound’. This is not said by the drum but you are saying as an observer. Who is this observer? Find out. The observer is only hearing and seeing. The observer as a person is only a concept which is false. Can the observer hear anything without Consciousness? Instead of identifying yourself with Consciousness you as ego or ‘I’ identify yourself with the body. You are nothing but Consciousness manifesting as illusory objects simultaneously. These objects are just like a dream or a cinema. When the manifest as body drops you always remain as Consciousness. Just understand this truth and see the marvel of this manifestation. The beauty of it.
A sheep following a flock
Do you know you are simply copying some one with out knowing it? You simply follow a crowd. A mob. You are reacting to mob psychology. If some one says engineering pays, you well you run after it. The same thing is happening with other professions also. In some cases one takes up his father’s or family’s profession blindly. In all such professions you act blindly like a machine. You may make some modifications and call it new. You cannot deny this. You may say “I liked it”. What is this liking and based on what? If you dwell deeply into this you will find that this liking is based on monitory gains. Materialistic.
Now coming to the subject. Can you show any one in the whole world either in the present or in the past who is/was exactly like you including your emotions etc. You cannot. What does this show which you failed to notice. Open your eyes and see. You are unique by yourself. You are supposed to do some thing unique. You never bothered to know your uniqueness. But you have become a sheep following a flock.
What is this uniqueness? The hidden uniqueness in you cannot be known by others including your parents and teachers. They make you a sheep. You never thought of it even for a moment. Your aim is always to compete with some one and you never bothered about your own uniqueness. You were only concerned about material benefits which is hiding in your subconscious mind. Because the mind considers you as matter and perceives you as matter. It does not know more than this. Because it is projecting itself as matter through energy and dreams of objects made out of matter,
Can you accept that you are only matter or some thing more than matter? You are bound to say that you are more than matter. What is this some thing which is more than matter? You never bothered all these days to know and you will one day finish your journey and pass off with out knowing what this some thing was. Of course it takes a tremendous amount of insight into yourself to know this some thing in you. But you are not bothered and become a sheep.
Now coming back to the subject this uniqueness may not fetch you monitory benefits. It is only secondary. Enough for your food, clothing and shelter, But you always want more. You start with a Maruthi car and aspire for a BMW later. Can this ever end?
Find out this hidden secret in you. Your uniqueness. If you succeed, your life is a success otherwise you are just a sheep following a flock. It may not get you monitory benefits but it will get you a tremendous amount of satisfaction which you never experienced in your life. This you can notice in an ordinary man like a carpenter. He makes a beautiful chair, admires it and he is absolutely satisfied with it and just goes off taking some money from you. The chair is forgotten. Can you say you had or have this sort of satisfaction in your job? Why are you hesitating to accept some thing which is more suitable to you?
If you don’t know where to go, any road will take you to that place. Know the place you want to go. You will come across the path automatically. Know your uniqueness and you will come across the path. Don’t become a sheep. Don’t ask me how to know your uniqueness. Because I cannot know by going inside you. That is your problem.
A frog in the well
All your actions leading to what ever it may be, are only limited. You are a frog in the well. Because your actions arose from a source of compulsorily thrusted and limited thoughts for generations. You are conditioned for “Do this, don’t do that”. You are afraid to break it. How can you be free to think on your own? You become a machine. (From first gear to second gear a car cannot run beyond a particular speed. You are like that.) All your thinking are bullshit. You will always evaluate any thing new coming with the present thought. The new becomes a taboo. You will kill it. A clear example is ‘get married within your community. Don’t go out’. There might have been a reason for it then and not now when the world has become so small. Then it was large, enormous.
All your personal actions are based on “How will it look in the eyes of others?” Can this ever happen? You are not the eyes and thoughts of others. But yet you presume what you think must be the same with others. This leads to conflicts. You create somebody as your enemy because of such thoughts.
All your actions are based on such thoughts. You have become a conditioned machine. You perform actions based on that machine. Have you ever gone into what these thoughts are? You might have suspected but did not have the guts to break it and you succumb to it. A thought of ‘A black crow eats white rice’ will end up as ‘A white crow eats black rice’. You simply accept what ever is said. Even if there is a doubt you are afraid to ask. Why?
Nothing can be predicted according to your likes and dislikes and nothing can happen according to your desires. The rain comes and goes not on the basis of your desires. But you want every thing to happen on the basis of such useless thoughts not belonging to you. That is how rebellions are born.
Non material is material
You will not accept this or get confused. To put it in simpler terms it is some thing like air getting condensed into cloud which pours as rain. Air is non material but it may contain several microscopic specks of matter. Small matters floating in air. But what is this air? Scientifically speaking the basic building block of matter is nothing or non material. If you are not a scientist or a physicist you may be thinking that the basic building block of matter is atom. If you go deep into atom you will find atom consists or made up of electron etc. If you further go deep they are strings or waves or quarks. It you dig into these you will land up in emptiness or non matter. What is this non matter? Science is still struggling to give a name to it. It is nothing but the Consciousness of the observer which is your Consciousness. Your own Consciousness is the non material or non matter. You may give any name to this Consciousness. Religions called it as god and you got misguided thinking that this god is some where else, watching you like a police man. It is with you and you go on searching for it out side you. Drop this word god. If you still want to stick to this word then you are god. Find out whether you are god. Very simple.
This non matter assumes an illusory state of matter but remains with it. You are just now like this. You are Conscious of your own body and the whole world which is matter, together. Consciousness remaining as such and also as a form simultaneously. When this truth is realized you will know all forms from your body to a rocket is the illusory nature of Consciousness. It is the Consciousness which has to be worried about all these forms but you as ‘I’ unnecessarily get worried because of the ego as ‘I’.’You’,’Me’ etc. Drop these nonsensical ideas of you remaining as a separate entity. If you are really a separate entity separate yourself from earth and exist independently. You may say I will fly. Even then you are within the fold of the Solar system. If you go beyond it, still you will be within the fold of a galaxy. You cannot go beyond this galaxy because it may take millions of years. Remember all these forms from earth to galaxy are only illusions appearing like a cinema on Consciousness.
What prevents you is you think you are a separate person. Nonsense. You cannot exist without Consciousness which is the real you and not forms or objects.
Material benefits
If your pursuit is only to seek material benefits then forget about religion and spiritualism. Work hard like a machine. Get your PhD and make money. But remember one day you will have to die and you cannot take a bit along with you. You remain unknown to yourself and die. You leave all your enjoyment, satisfaction etc. including your body. Why not aspire for some thing which you can take with you even after the death of the body? Have you ever thought about it? No one told you about it. You cannot be blamed. You are utterly ignorant.
Coming to the crux of what all you do is nothing but animalistic. The core of your activities are, you wake up, eat, reproduce and go to sleep. (You may not wake up again. That is a different matter.) This damn thing is also done by birds, animals etc. What is the difference between you and an animal. Don’t say you enjoy your car, A.C etc. I said the core of your actions. How do you know the animals are not enjoying any thing?
You may be surprised and ask ‘What is it that I can take with me even after death?’ You can take your real Self with the real You which cannot die. Find out this real Self. Search for a real Guru or a Master who knows himself and not the bogus religious Gurus who make you believe that they can fulfill all your desires. Don’t succumb to advertisements and what others say. Use your prudence. (I don’t say intelligence because it is altogether a different matter.) It is upto you to choose. You have the will. Don’t think even for a moment that you may lose the world, your family etc. No. They will remain as it is, but you will change remarkably. For you every thing will become new. A freshness arriving. Who knows you may become a Buddha or a Christ or a Mohammad or a Mahaveera. Seek the higher echelons of life. The very source of life. Forget about the periphery. The periphery is only misery and death.
You may say that only material benefits gives you happiness when in fact you do not know what happiness is. Do you know that these so called material benefits or sophistications are only enjoyed by only about three percent of the population at the cost of the rest of the ninety nine percent. I am not talking communism. This is realism.
You don’t know what happiness is. It is not a thing which can come and disappear. If you know your real self, you will come to know what happiness is. Don’t mistake pleasure and satisfaction as happiness. These pleasure and satisfaction are only momentary. You can see this in your day to day life. One day you feel fine and next day or moment you feel miserable. Why? From where do you get this miserable ness? Who is responsible? Find out.
Intellect and true knowledge
Intellect is the knowledge about the outer. The world and whatever you see and feel outside you. This knowledge is obtained through books and what you hear or whatever you are taught. This is materialistic. Knowledge about matter.
True knowledge is about the inner. The inside world of yours. The intellect cannot work here. All your books cannot work here. Your logic will fail. Your philosophy will fail. Your science will fail. This is the knowledge about yourself. Your true self.
Your travel in search of yourself starts when your intellect ends for the true knowledge to arrive. We are only concerned about objective world. About every thing that is in the world including the world, sun, stars etc. This knowledge cannot take you inside. Inside means not your internal organs. There is the real you residing in yourself without your knowledge. It is always there but you don’t know it. You don’t care to know it and that is how you have been brought up.
Right from your childhood to college days, you are only led or taught about the outer world. Your physics, chemistry etc. are all about the outer objective world. The journey towards the inner world is Spiritualism. Here the books and teachings on Spiritualism can only help upto a certain distance. After which even this knowledge has also to be dropped. It may look contradictory to you as you may feel as if the inner is also denied. No. Only the false knowledge you have gathered about the outer and the inner alone disappears. You are guided automatically from here, that is the moment you drop your knowledge of outer and the bookish knowledge about Spiritualism.
Great Masters have appeared in the world and through them the revelations happened. They became the religions, the original religions. But unfortunately after the Masters left they have been taken over by the ignorant masses who were only sticking to books of both outer and inner solely with a selfish motive. They never dropped them for the Truth to flow. People are stuck here. No real Master or Guru or Teacher is available to guide them. Ritualism has taken control of the people and they succumb to it. Today no religion takes you for an inside journey. There may be a few, irrespective of the religions, who know the Truth and waiting for the real seekers to arrive. They remain unknown without any advertisement. Unfortunately people who are only interested about the outer world with all its constituents cannot go to them. Because they don’t want to know about themselves. They cannot be taught by these few any thing when their sole aim is to fulfill their desires. However educated one may be, he cannot be taught about the inner Truth as long as he sticks to intellect.
People flock around religious places only for fulfilling their desires. They have a thousand and one requests to make and no one makes a request for the true knowledge. No one offers a prayer to give them true knowledge. They are that much conditioned seeking material benefits. The pity is they fail to look into themselves. They believe that they will get whatever they want by the mechanical ritualism. What to say about them?
You are in a great hurry to die
You are in a great hurry to die because your actions prove this. The great hurry in making money and do every thing in such a great hurry. You are running always. Just stop here and ask the question ‘Why this hurry?’ Because you are not certain of tomorrow though you may not know it. Your subconscious mind does this. Why? Because it is not certain of the continuation of this body through which all sensory enjoyment takes place and therefore, projects a superficial consciousness as ‘I’ or ego and makes this false I run, run and run. All enjoyments should happen today. It cannot wait for a tomorrow because it is not certain about a tomorrow. Therefore, finish every thing today. Accordingly it creates thoughts to make the body run. Use your common sense here. Where is the question of a person doing this? Who is a person? Only thoughts with a body. Understand that the body itself is thought oriented or you may call it mind oriented.
What to do with man/woman?
Mind arises out of its purity which is Consciousness and moves into a half dream state and progresses to full dream state. This half dream state is what you call dream and the full dream state is what you call waking. These two states are created by the mind. Your body is just a projection of the mind and you as a person or individual has nothing to do with it. If every thing stops at this level the world is a paradise. But you have created an ego as ‘I’ which is causing miseries. Get rid of this concept that I am a person which you are not. You are more than what you think you are. The trouble is you are refusing to know your real nature. (Any question here? Yes, you are bound to ask)
Mind having got separated as an illusion, finds it difficult to get back to its source or its original nature. Thoughts are misguiding it. Thoughts have poisoned it The ego adds to this misguidance. This is the cause of world, man and life. This is also the cause of his own Realisation The so called man is struggling, competing and running madly and the joke to be laughed at is, he thinks he is doing it. He is calling misery as happiness, pain as pleasure. What to do with him? Here you are bound to ask a question as to why the mind got separated? Find out the mind and also what thought is and ask this question. You will know the answer.
The root
The spiritualism goes into the root of roots. Science only analyses the roots and it can never go into the root of every thing. This is just a superficial act. Can science accept that the universe is projecting itself as atom and atom is projecting itself as Universe. It will enter into logic and say how is it possible. Are not the cells projecting themselves as the body which you call as ‘I’. Does not the body contain these cells which projects the body? Can you deny this? The body is the cells and the cells are the body. The body projects the cells and the cells project the body. To put it in simpler terms, the bigger atom is the Universe and the smaller Universe is the atom.
Man is a Black hole.
What is a black hole? There are so many theories. In short science says that the black hole does not even allow the light to get out of it. It absorbs the light emitted by itself. Man is similar to this black hole. The ego is the black hole. It does not allow the thoughts to go beyond itself. It pulls back all the thoughts created by itself. So the man operates within those inwardly pulled thoughts. These thoughts cannot go beyond itself. This tragedy of the thought has to be set righter broken. It means that thoughts have to get relieved of themselves and go beyond so that the mind can be made pure. This is the purpose of Spiritualism. Man has to understand that he is only a bundle of thoughts. The pity is he is refusing to understand because he cannot go beyond thoughts and know some thing about the mind. He is in a prison of thoughts. How can he seek freedom? Even the knowledge of freedom is unknown to him. He has to come out of this prison by not giving excuses and project this useless prison as a marvelous thing. Black hole and ego do not allow any thing to go out. In short you are a small black hole. Understand this. Can you?
Matter and non matter
Matter we all know. Science has taught us that it is the ultimate product of energy which is an illusion. This energy is traveling on the background of non matter because it has to be located some where so that it can move. Energy cannot exist by itself without its counter part non energy. Science accepts this. The actual You is in the middle. Neither energy nor non energy which is Consciousness. Neither this nor that This is what you are just now. Conscious of everything. But you don’t know that such a thing as Consciousness existing. It is through this Consciousness your are able to see, feel everything. Without this Consciousness you as good as dead. But this death is also Consciousness. (May look contradictory) Without Consciousness how can you say some one died. It is a different question with the man who died which no one knows except the one who died. What is the state of death will be only known to him, had he known Consciousness, otherwise he dies unconsciously. This unconsciousness is carried by the ego through thoughts seeking another material body. You cannot pin point the sequence of these so called events. Once you become aware of Consciousness where is the question of death? And who dies?
Death cannot be conscious of itself because it is swallowed by unconsciousness. One has to be aware of this Consciousness even now and in death. For him there is no death and he remains as Consciousness. The intellect will create a million questions here. Seek the answers.
Aloneness with form and formless aloneness
Aloneness with form and formless aloneness. This is the truth. Aloneness (Consciousness) with form is just what you are now. But you do not know this truth. Aloneness without assuming or imagining or taking or dreaming any form is pure Consciousness. Difficult to understand. Is it not? I will try to explain in common man’s language. Imagine you are cotton. This cotton takes a form of thread. But it is cotton. The form of thread is an illusion. (Don’t bring in your idea of the thread.) Simply stick to what is said. Other wise you will get confused. The cotton is Consciousness the appearance of thread is the world and man. The thread is just an appearance of cotton as a form. What ever forms the thread takes, it will be only cotton. The thread may become a cloth. But it is cotton. Self realization is the thread coming to know it is only cotton with a form which is illusory. Because however, you analyze it you will find the thread only as cotton. The component of the thread is only cotton. But the thread thinks it is a separate entity with a separate identity. This is done only by thoughts. (As a matter of fact thought itself is cotton - anyway forget it for the time being). The thoughts have given a name to the form which is thread as ‘I’. This ‘I’ is only a form like the thread. But its constituent is only cotton. Can you remove or separate the cotton from the thread?
What ever you do in life is only a separatist act. You are more and more getting separated and get lost. The job of religion is to erase this separation and make it as one. Make the thread realize that it is cotton. Is any religion doing it today? They further more separate you into various groups. They give different different identities and the separation becomes deeper. The real meaning of religion is ‘to unite’. Are the religions doing it? Yoga also means ‘to unite’. But they do the act of separation. You are further led into illusions and chaos. Instead of waking you up to realities they induce you into deep sleep which is ignorance. What can you do? You are just a sheep following other sheep.
Come out of religion. I don’t say fight it. Let it remain in what ever way it is. Once you come out of religion you are free to think. When you realize that you are only Consciousness, what is death to you? You can drop the body whenever you want or you can be a spectator to the body’s disintegration.
You appeared and disappeared
What is it that appears and disappears? This may sound funny, but happening everyday in your life which you failed to notice. What is it that disappeared in the night and appeared in the morning which you call sleep and waking. You may say that I went to sleep and woke up in the morning. This shows you have not gone deep into this phenomena though this happens every day. Do you mean to say you suddenly disappeared in the night and appeared in the morning as a new man? This is where you are taken for a ride by your thoughts or ego without your knowledge. You did not know you were sleeping while you were sleeping. Where did you go? Nothing existed for you in that state. What happened to you? Did you suddenly come to life in the morning? Physically you appeared and disappeared. That is all you know and more than this you don’t know. Where did you go in that gap which you call sleep about which you are not aware. This question has to be answered by you. 5 A.M. to 10 P.M. (or some such time) you were existing and 10 P.M. to 5 A.M. you did not exist or you do not know anything about this. Every day you are a missing person during a particular period. Maximum this is all you can say if you don’t use the word sleep which you do not know. You don’t have any knowledge of your missing self every day. Is it true? Can it be true? Who is the one who made you to appear and disappear? You will have to find out. If you are serious and sincere about knowing the answer you will find some thing made you as a body appear and disappear. What is this some thing? You will find that the mind has projected your body between 5 A.M and 10 P.M and disappeared after that. This is what you call sleep. Disappearance of the mind. Where did this mind go? Find out. That is the purpose of your life but you never bothered or you were not told anything about this important aspect in your life.
You were all the while thinking that I went to sleep and I woke up. But you were missing in between which you call sleep which you do not know. Who is this ‘I’ which appeared and disappeared? Please find out this ‘I’ who says that it went to sleep in the night and woke up in the morning. Go into the root of it. You will find this ‘I’ does not exist. Who are you then? Find out. That is your job. If said, it will become only an intellectual knowledge for you. You cannot claim you are a continuous entity but you think so. On what basis you come to this conclusion. How do you know it is the same body which disappeared in the night is again appearing in the morning. Which is the one that gives this continuity? I will leave it at this level so that you can ponder or think over it so that it becomes your own knowledge and not the knowledge thrusted on you.
Love is Love, Which is you
Thoughts cannot contain or withstand love. It is so powerful. Therefore, it stimulates the senses and creates sexual impulse. Unless, the thoughts know this, it will be going on creating this stimulus. It converts love into sex. Whenever love is felt by it, it thinks it is attracted by an object (girl or boy) and goes on creating sex stimulus. When this stimulus subsides by sexual act, again it creates it when it feels love which is highly difficult for it to be with. When thoughts know this or able to be with love there is no act of sex. Only love remains. You would have seen lovers hugging each other for hours together without any talk. How to explain this to a boy or girl who think love is from outside without knowing they are love. This has to be understood by them. Love does not lead to sex. Sex is physical. Love is beyond the physique.
This process has not been understood by the so called religious Masters or Gurus who forced celibacy on their disciples which cannot work. Impossible. Therefore, homosexuality results. Their job is to make others know love and the rest is automatic.
The moment love seems to appear every effort is taken by thought to remove it. How can love be there with thoughts, when thoughts can operate only with a physical structure or matter? They cannot know love because love is beyond thoughts. In thoughtless state love is known. The so called person becomes love (which is always there). This knowledge of love has to be known by the individual. But the individual is misguided by thought because he operates within the field of limited thoughts. Wherever the thought cannot convert it into sex, it converts it into anger, violence, hatred etc., so that love does not exist or it is constantly rejected.
Every girl and boy should be taught this. If love is there the mind is with “what is”. There is no division between Universal mind and Consciousness. When thought constantly resists love, man can never be conscious of love. All acts done by man is done absolutely unconsciously like a machine. Man, who is himself a thought, constantly rejects love or covers love thus preventing Consciousness. What is needed is just awareness of love.
Every act done in love is consciously done. It will be perfect. It is a great challenge to man because he cannot know love in him and seeks it out side.
SNIPPETS-4
1.Nothing is born and nothing dies. A dream or an illusion arises and continues till the realization takes place. This appears as birth and death which are illusory.
2.Starting from brushing the teeth till going to sleep be conscious of all your actions and you will come to know you are nothing but Consciousness.
3.See pain. Be with it. Pain is thought oriented. The thought searches for the opposite and thinks that is a painless state. There are no opposites. Opposites are based on thoughts.
4.Thoughts go on creating opposites which are false. The entire life is based on this falseness. Searching for this false opposites. From bad to good, poor to rich, illness to health, sorrow to pleasure. People forget they are dealing with the existing thing only but try to reach its opposite which is not there at that moment. Pain, you deal with it. It goes off. You think no pain is opposite of pain.
5. If one can watch the mind and body, he should be away from it. Just like you observe a tumbler by being away from it. Therefore, what are you? You will have to find it. No book can teach you. Be a light unto yourself.
6. You will have to use the minimum thoughts in day to day life. But you are not the thoughts. Just like you use a pen and you are not the pen. You don’t use the pen always. Use thoughts whenever absolutely required. Stop with that.
7. One can always be in happiness, even in pain, if only he could live with it. If the pain is unbearable, the body goes into unconsciousness. Pain is perceived by thought. It immediately wants to jump into no pain state.
8. Once understood, pleasure based on material will not be there. Material happiness is only a momentary pleasure and not happiness. But man thinks this pleasure as happiness. Never finding this true happiness, he goes on searching for it endlessly birth after birth.
9. Learn to watch the thoughts. Be a witness of the thoughts. See the thoughts. Then you will know it is an illusion. But mind is not thought. Thoughts are yours, dumped on you. You as body is the projection of mind the Universal mind.
10. Mind can use thoughts. Thoughts cannot use the mind. The whole can use the part and part cannot use the whole.
11.Science experiments from outside to know what is basically existing. Spiritualism goes inside to know what Existence is. Spiritualism comes to know that inside is outside. Science is stuck with outside as it cannot take outside to inside because it operates on material as the basis. It has to start from inside to outside. Inside is non material.
Snippets 51. Inner knowledge is not different from outer. Once the inner is understood, you will find the outer is also the same.
2. Don’t judge, don’t recognize, don’t identify. Always remain in a non judgmental state. Be a witness of it. In this state what are words? What can it show? Nothing.
3.Nothing to know and nothing to say. Whatever we say about “It” is only a thought. Thoughts block the reality and you will never know the real with thoughts.
4. If you are violent, you must be with violence. Watch it. Violence will disappear. Don’t say you are working for nonviolence. It is not possible.
5. Knower knowing the unknowable is action. Actions are generated automatically. If thoughts interfere the reality is not known. Become thoughtless. The main obstruction is comparison and expectation.
6. To know yourself is a great thing. Once you know yourself everything is known. Everything will be known as going on by itself. Thoughts are unnecessarily generated to feed the ego as I, me and you. If you kill this fictious ego which is thought based, your problem is finished.
7. If somebody talks to you, you reply. Don’t do it as a reaction. This will lead to gossip. Use minimum words. Be aware of what you talk.
8. Man dies like a dog without knowing himself.
9. You cannot know truth by words. You must experience it, feel it.
10. Words are thoughts. Thoughts cannot know the real. Thoughts appear to be based on past actions or dead actions appearing as memory. This memory is false. You cannot have a thought in the present moment. What is the meaning of you saying that you experienced rain last year, now.
11.Do any work without attachment, just for the love of it without any expectation. You become the non doer.
12.The knower is knowing. Not the you or me.
13.Enjoy the life as it is. But remember there is no enjoyer. Only enjoyment for nobody.
14.No one is to be blamed and nothing is there to be praised.
15.Allow the actions as a non doer. Don’t interfere whether it is good or bad. Allow this flow. Don’t evaluate it. It is not possible. You waste your life in this evaluation.
16. Military people and terrorist don’t know whom they are killing and for what and whose purpose. A mechanical killing is the most deadliest of sins.
Thoughtlessness is death
Thoughtlessness is similar to death with only a vision present. Without thought this vision cannot be explained. In an unexplainable state what is death and what is vision? Everyday you as a person die or disappear. Not only everyday, every fraction of a second you are dead and reborn. This happens at a tremendous speed. Mind perceives it at the same speed thus giving a continuity for its own product and its ignorant purpose. If this continuity is not there, you will start feeling like a baby. Even that feeling is doubtful.
This moment is ‘What is’, ’Self’ ,‘Consciousness’ or ‘Existence’.
I am seeing through the body, but the body is not me. Then whom do I see? I see myself from various angles. Mind shows me as the world which is me. I am seeing through the eyes without myself as a person seeing. It also means there is no identification, no recognition just seeing through the body. Mind says you are seeing, but there is no you.
The body is like a mirror to perceive objects to reflect objects. ‘It’ is always seeing itself as objects. I see myself in various forms. Mind and thoughts create a division. When the body closes its eyes, no forms are perceived and when its opens ‘It’ sees itself as various forms. When the mind merges with ‘It’ there is no duality, when you know you are not the body or mind you will know the truth. If you are not there, nothing is there. You alone exist. Don’t ask any question such as ’what about others?’ But you always think of others when they don’t exist if you are not there. You imagine they will continue to be there without knowing
Find out this ’I’ first and you will know ‘That’ alone remains or exists. This is the only thing you can do in your life and other things happen automatically as illusions or a cinema show. All the rest only appears as real for the mind and not the real ‘you’. You are not only this false I but also the real I. Mind and thoughts think only about the false I. Life means only knowing of that which is you as the real I.
Love is not a feeling
You are love. Love is not a feeling. Love is happiness and all the worldly objects only give you pleasure and pain. Love and happiness are the same. If you know this you cannot say you are in love with somebody. Nobody knows what love is except a few. If you know you are love, everything will change. You will enjoy being love. Your whole heart is filled with happiness and nothing else. You will suddenly realize some deep peace within you. Love, happiness and peace are one. Look at the TV now and say how you feel just now without any thought. Do you have the same feeling or different? Now you will know you are love. What you are is only love, but you put all the rubbish and cover it. See everything as love, because you are love. You have realized love which you never knew all these days. Be it. Who can prevent it? It is a great feeling. You may start shedding tears. It is not a cry of pain. It is a cry of joy. Slowly tears will stop, only happiness will remain. Try. This love will make you intelligent. You will know it. Tomorrow you will feel it. Even in studies you will start using intelligence without your knowledge. Don’t you feel you want to be in it forever. You will feel you are floating in happiness. Words or any explanation on love cannot show you love. You are always happy if you know why it is said ‘love is god or anbe sivam’
God is only a word. If love is god, what remains as god is only love, which you are. ‘Aham brahmasmi’. Love cannot be possessed. That’s why lovers hurry up to get married to possess each other. After that, love is gone or covered by other thoughts and activities. For the lovers, love is known only momentarily. They don’t know its continuation. It disappears due to possessive nature. Life is wasted in trouble , sorrow and misery. Instead of being happy always they live in misery. Even if you say, they will not listen that is why I said listening is an art. In listening, only love is there and the person disappears.
You don’t know love
Love flows from you in all directions. By chance if a person is there, it flows into it and you think that he/she is loving you. What ever is there opposite, it flows on it into it. If the opposite one, what ever it may be, knows love there will be automatic reciprocation or flow from it. Even if it is an inanimate object there is reciprocation. Like a necklace or a car. There is reciprocation of love between you and a flower. You can notice this in dogs. If it finds love in you it will automatically reciprocate. In love there is no question of identification of an object and possessing it. Therefore, you cannot say I have lost the object. If you say I have lost the object it shows only possessiveness and not love. One in love is not at all worried of the opposite object even if it disappears or moves out. The rain was there and it stopped. You cant say you lost it forever. One thinks he/she loves the other, unconcerned of the parents who brought him/her into this world. They become a burden and their death or disappearance does not affect them so much though they may act or put up a show as if they are upset or worried about them. This is very common in the funerals of elderly persons. Unless you possess some thing, you cannot lose it. Can love lose anything? Or can it gain anything? But people treat others as things and think they have lost them or they are gaining through them. This is absolute possessiveness. There is no love in it. Love cannot make the differentiation. It is the ego which does this ugly thing.
Duality is false
The non dual cannot be different from you which appears as an illusory dual. If not identified as different the duality is not there. The thread is cotton but the form of it is illusory. The world assumes a reality just like a child assumes reality in a doll and will talk to it. It will also assume as if the doll is talking back to it. The grown up ones know it is not real. The grown up one here is knowledge and the child means ignorance. The body is the expression for the non manifest because there is no expression for the non manifest. The trouble is the expression assumes reality and hence dualism when it is not. You are just the expression of the non dual. Know it and understand it to realize ‘This is That’.
To go back to square one
Separation of the mind from ‘what is’ is only upto the knower. If the knowing of itself proceeds further then it becomes the known. This will go on forever in an endless field till it retracts to itself by knowing that it is nothing but the Truth. It takes an enormous effort on its part to know this fact. Till then it will go on its way of its search of itself leading to separation or duality. You are just now the expression of this duality. The ego assumes a false existence.
Who is the doer? Who is the seer? Don’t think you are doing any thing because you are not the doer. Just do. Only doing. That is all you have to do. No thought of I am doing. It is always like that for every body. But they think they are doing. Without thinking you will find everything going on automatically. There is no doer in anything only doing is there (that too is illusory, but that is a different matter). Body is only an instrument for action. The thinker is not different from thoughts. There is no thinker, seer etc. If there is no seer? What is seen?
You are seeing something, a car. It means you are away from the car. Similarly you are seeing the body, so you must be away from the body. But you think you are the body because you see it. You don’t feel away from the body just as you see a car. This is where you are caught or commit a mistake. Who is this you who is the seer of the body? Check up and find out. It is only the eye which sees the body. Is the eye you. No, certainly not. You will be there as nobody. No seer. Man should understand this basic fact. A simple choice less seeing will lead you to something that is consciousness. Are you not conscious of everything. Unless you are consciousness you cannot be consciousness of anything around you.
Everything is floating in consciousness. Body takes whatever it wants for it. Everything flows automatically to the body. Man does every thing automatically .For the knower to know it self it uses man as a thought producing machine with senses. Till he knows himself man gets caught in this illusion. He cannot know who he is. Doer is false that means ‘I’ is false. It is a thought. Only after you appear the world appears. If you don’t appear the world does not appear. Who is the observer who is watching this appearing and disappearing? Don’t say I am watching. How can you say you are observing the body disappearing in sleep or before its appearance. Nobody is there except the mind which is just the shadow of Consciousness which is producing this effect of the body appearing and disappearing. For what purpose? Go into it deeply.
Everything is ‘what is’. Mind creates a separateness of I, me, you, this, and that. Just seeing without thoughts you will know what seer is.. You are just an instrument like a screw driver. The screw driver is used by some one. Just like that your body is used by some thing. What is this some thing? If you go deep into this you will find that the mind does it. The job of the mind is to create division. Mind doesn’t create thoughts though it created a machinery for this purpose which is the brain. Mind is divine in its purity. There is no individual mind. Thoughts create ego and says it is the mind as reflected by brain.
There is neither division nor no division for the knower of Truth. Religious say that you are different and god is different. This is utter nonsense. You make a ring out of gold. Can you say gold is different and the ring is different. The ring is just a form of gold. But it is gold. So drop this word god and instead use Consciousness which you know. God is a mere word. ‘What is’ which is Consciousness is not different from what is here. But you are searching else where. You are searching for yourself in a wrong place instead of just looking at you and knowing you as Consciousness. Stop this search and see what is here and now. Let the mind merge with ‘what is’.
Ignorance is the world. Don’t see ‘it’ as a separate entity apart from you. Can you separate yourself from the world? But as ignorance it is knowing itself as knowledge. If not in ignorance it will not know itself. Ignorance and knowledge should merge in this absolute when the mind as ignorance disappears. Knowing ignorance is knowledge. Knowing both is absolute. Knowing this and that or neither this nor that. Both are same.
Who is to blame whom? What is good what is bad? What is correct? What is incorrect? If you say some thing is incorrect, that means you are finding fault with yourself and again get into ignorance. All these should not be understood verbally. It should be known experientially. Otherwise it becomes an intellectual stuff.
It is itself teaching to the ignorant. This teaching alone is the most sanctified in religion. But no religion teaches it. If it teaches it will become a philosophical concept and develop into irreligion and remain as a concept only. The real religion which is ‘what is’ or Consciousness disappears and ignorance prevails. Knowing intellectually, one becomes a ‘Swamiyar’ who knows nothing and is only in ignorance but may be an intellect. Just a book. He is useless. (But in reality there is no ignorance or knowledge also but that is a different matter) I am the mind to see my ‘self’ as the world. Without mind world cannot appear to ‘me’ as objects because my basic nature is only Consciousness. As Consciousness I can see myself only as Consciousness but not as objects. This is where the pure mind plays the role of projecting Consciousness as objects. Understand this.
To a young girl who lost her husband suddenly.
Qus: I am feeling miserable and do not know what to do. I feel lonely and in pain. Please help.
A woman wants some security in the form of a husband for several reasons. Some one to protect her. Because she is afraid of facing the world alone. If she has grown up children this fear will not be there. Because she is confident that there is some one available to help her. Similarly, you have developed a sort of fear. A sudden loneliness leading to fear, though your parents are available for help. This loneliness is nothing but your imagination. You are thinking “How am I going to live alone in the future. What am I to do?” This thought has become a fear to face the world. ‘Can I go on alone like this without any external support’ is the question running on in your mind and you start feeling miserable. Just stop here. Who is doing this? Is it you or somebody harming you? Is it not you, who is creating this misery? Can you feel that you saw a good movie and the show is over now. Understand this. But you want repetition of the movie you saw which is not possible and therefore a sort of fear to face loneliness though you are in the midst of people. This is the cause of your agony. I accept it is difficult now but not so difficult as to make you go mad.
I felt happy when it was raining here in Chennai and when it stopped, normally I should continue to feel happy. But if there is no sufficient water in the house I will start longing for rain. But I don’t know whether there will be a rain again. Suppose if the rain does not come
again what will I do? I will try to find alternate sources for water. This is exactly the situation in which you are today. Go deep into this.
Just tell to yourself that the cinema is over and there are varieties of cinemas to see. But you will find it difficult because you have already come to a conclusion that every thing is over for you. This is how you have been conditioned by your own people including yourself. Stop this idea. It may be mentally difficult for you because you think there is no alternate for you. My Father is not there now but I continue to live. Please remember this.
My father died. The pain was there. But it is not there now. How and why? I don’t even think of my father. Had I been dependent on him probably the pain would have continued. How long can
this go? Only for a short while till I get occupied in other work or events. This is what you must do now.
Qus: My parents say I should not go out for another 6 months as my husband died at an inauspicious time and day. Is it true? What am I to do?
This is nothing but superstition. As far as I am concerned it has no meaning. But you are still under the clutches of formalities and rituals of the community. This is nothing but ignorance. One has to come out this ignorance to know what he/she is. You are not what you think you are. You think you are a small tiny girl. But you are enormous. This you will have to find out by yourself. For an enormous thing what is the meaning of these rituals. I leave it to you. But what ever you do will go against the community. If your journey is towards Truth all the rest have no meaning. But man is so ignorant with conditioned limitations he finds it difficult to break it. What to say about it?. Truth is not a small thing to know in a couple of days. To know the meaning of life is the purpose of birth. If you ask them the reason for this belief they will say 'we are doing what others are doing. Other wise we will be looked down by others' They themselves don’t know the meaning of what they say and do. Any way think calmly and take a decision. The responsibility is yours. You are just now a slave chained by the society. This chain has to be broken if you want to know Truth. Every thing is in your hand and you are the authority of yourself. I leave it to you. But the truth is absolutely different. Life has a tremendous meaning if you know what life is. But unfortunately 99.99 percent of the people don’t know it and they lead a life like animals. This is all I can tell you for the present. Please know life is a dream.
It is just a social convention. This convention is broken by the modern boys/girls. In olden days one man can marry any number of girls. In Mahabaratha one woman married several men. All social conventions to suit their needs. If men are less women can have more husbands. If women are more man can have many wives. All this happened due to shortage of man/woman thousands of years ago, mainly due to wars particularly religious wars. We blindly follow this convention without understanding it and the community starts controlling people. This is now vanishing. Girls and boys have started dating to select the right partner. But do they come across the right partner? And what is the purpose?
There cannot be any relationship without love. It will only be superficial. People live like dead wood. In love nothing can go wrong. There is nothing to gain or lose. But the present day love is only possessiveness. Hormonal disturbances. Chemical reactions. (I don’t say there is no true love. May be a few) But boys/girls don’t know this. It is based on physical attraction which cannot last long. There are so many things in life like this. One has to understand the reality and act. But who is willing?
Qus: How can I forget my husband? Is it not a sin?
What is sin? Some body told you 'Don’t do it" appears to you as sin if you do it. But what is the meaning? Tell me, do you honestly know what sin is? I will give you an example. You had a pen and lost it. What you do? You buy another pen, if you need. Other wise you keep quiet. That is all I can say.
I have told you death is bullshit as far as I am concerned. What are you talking about you forgetting some thing called husband? Have you not forgotten your child hood or your school days or your grand father's death. Is it a sin?. If you think it is sin you are a damn fool.
Qus: If some one harms me will it affect them.
Ans: Your question should be like this ' If I harm some body will it affect me. Yes. That person whom you harmed is not going to keep quiet. He will give you trouble. But some people keep quiet not retaliating. They tolerate. But remember one thing, violence will bring forth the effect of violence only. U.S created the Talibans. Now they are suffering because of Talibans. You go a little bit further. Why do you want to harm some one? They might have harmed you. That is why Jesus said 'Show your other cheek'. That means don’t retaliate. Accept it because they are doing out of ignorance. That is why he said at the time of his Crucification "Forgive these people my Lord, because they know not what they do". But why are you asking this question? There must be a reason for it. This question has to be dealt with elaborately. Why do you want to do wrong to somebody? is the basic question. You will have to answer this question. Unless you answer you will not get the reply.
Violence will be met only by violence. If one tolerates there is no retaliatory action or reaction. But this is very rare. This is called revenge.
Understand sex and its implications
Energy goes on getting stored or gets accumulated in the body through various methods. Either from out side or through food. The body as a form can with hold only certain quantity of energy. When it is full, it has to over flow. The body is like a cup. It can only contain certain quantity of anything. Over and above this, it will have to over flow. Energy goes on pouring into this cup and the results is, it over flows when it is full. There is no end to it, till the body disintegrates. This over flow or explosion of the energy is the peak of sexual act.
If and when the body is capable of receiving energy upto the brim you call young body or if incapable of receiving sufficient energy to get the body filled which you call old body. This is the natural phenomenon. You cannot stop it. It has to explode when it is full. Whether one makes it explode through a partner or not this over flow or explosion is bound to happen. Therefore, one cannot call him celibate. This process starts between the ages of thirteen and fourteen.
Without understanding this phenomenon man/woman is forcibly bringing it out often by indulging in sexual act for which he/she needs a partner. Even when the cup is not full he/she throws out the half full cup. Therefore, frequent sexual acts. For this man/woman craves for marriage for an assured partner. Is there any love in it? How long can this partnership last? They live like logs of wood. Sexual act is performed like an animal.
Occasionally it neither over flows nor the body becomes empty of it. It becomes stagnant. Not even stagnant but flow and unflow internally. This is rare. At this point there is no explosion. Hence no sexual act. Your real Saints are in this state. But religions force it on people and fails, This state has to come naturally.
Sex is nothing but the explosion of condensed and excessive energy. It has to explode whether you want it or not. This speed of condensation goes on diminishing with the age or when the body is not capable of storing it. This is a natural course. But you make it a habit and even when it is not full you throw it out or make it explode.
In rare cases this process does not happen in man/woman. You call man as impotent and women as frigid. This is all about sex and its implications. But the explosion results in procreation. This is all the business of mind and thoughts. In a thoughtless state this cannot happen. Only love will remain which is not sex. People who indulge in sexual activity mostly don’t know love. But the beauty is, it also teaches to experience of Bliss at a lower level.
You are not you
Your internal organs with a cover of skin with a name is you. This is the same case with every one. How do they differ? May be a different complexion, different height, different external shapes. Can you say that you are the owner of this group of organs. You cannot say. Some two people made it and you call it as ‘I’. The name also some body gave it. Therefore, this name and body belongs to someone and not you. Whom do you call here as ‘I’ or ‘Me’?
Let me go a little further. Are you the same which appeared yesterday? With the same group of organs covered by a skin. No. You are a new group of organs covered by a different skin today. Today your parents cannot claim you as their product because you are different. Those fools of parents think you are the same. All your internal organs are renewing themselves simultaneously very fast. Millions and millions of cells are reborn in you just now. What are these cells? They are a group of molecules. What are these molecules? They are a group of atoms. What are these atoms? They are a group of electrons, protons, and several trons. What are these things? They are strings, waves or quarks? Do you know that these things travel or
move at tremendous speed and goes out of your body into the Universe and some thing else traveling behind it also does the same thing. They don’t get stagnated at all so that some thing can claim an individuality. Now tell me whom you are calling as ‘I’. There is nothing there except for the movement of sub atomic particles moving at tremendous speed going out of your body followed by another flow. I will give an example here. Thousands of cars are moving on the road. Can the road call itself as cars or with some other name as xyz.
You are both dead and alive simultaneously. Science accepts this and has proved it. What name can you give to this phenomena of simultaneous ‘death and alive’. But yet you call yourself as ‘I’ when this ‘I’ is just a movement of subatomic particles. Here thoughts fool you. The ego fools you. Both calling nothing as something. This ego cannot know subatomic particles. As a matter of fact these subatomic particles if divided further they end up in emptiness. Therefore, you are just emptiness projected as something by ego and thoughts which have not existence of its own. If you examine these two chaps ego and thoughts they also runaway. What is left behind? Nothing. Are you this nothing or something else. Find out. Don’t sit like a dumb duck.
The reality of existence
Youngsters should know the fact of life, the reality of Existence. But unfortunately they are so much disillusioned or conditioned that they run after the sophistications of life which are untrue and they think they can achieve by something called Education and they do not reach the end point. Aspiring for sophistications of life continues without an end throughout one’s life. This is called desires have no end to it. In reality what happens is, if they finish their illusory pursuits or their running and if they have little time left over, they may use the time on knowing the reality of Existence and life. But unfortunately, their aim of achieving a goal of sophistications do not give them any spare time. If at all any spare time is available they spend that time for entertainment purpose which includes shopping, calling on friends and gossiping.
The nature provides them some free time to think about themselves, about the meaning of birth and death. Birth and Death are not two separate entities but one. But the idea of a separate death creates a fear complex. Therefore, they do not want to analyze what death is and skip it, jump out of the subject and go back to the so called sophistications which is the world and its glamour. As this goes on, the youngsters become old, then they may slowly know, some portions of this reality and will not be able to understand it and feel the life they led is almost a waste. They start saying ‘At least now I must do some thing for others’. This idea is just to get rid of the loneliness. That is the stage you find a few elderly people who are inactive may start knowing compassion but they confuse it with Social work and get into it. What is Social and what is work? I don’t know. They may start knowing the pains and miseries of others. But the point here is what they can they do at an old stage. Nothing much can be done except the so called Social service which is just an idea.
Therefore, as youngsters, if they come to know the truths of life, they have a vast area before them containing pains and miseries. But unfortunately the parents and schools do not teach them anything about the realities of Existence. There is no point in blaming them also. So it
has become a paradox now. Parents themselves do not know anything and children also do not know, what the reality of Existence is. It is like two blind persons guiding each other in a dark area.
I am very particular that the youngsters must know the realities of Existence. If they know, which I am very much doubtful, they may be of tremendous help to the society. Vivekananda said give me a hundred true youngsters I will change the world. But the world is as it is full of more rubbish today. Forget the society, at least to their friends and relatives they can be of some help in teaching the realities. If one young boy could understand this, he can pass on the message to others. So, it should become an exponential communication. But they get caught in the glamour of the world and get fully merged in it, experiencing momentary pleasures here and there, but continuously seeking such pleasures and running at a breakneck speed, thinking the momentary pleasure will continue without a break. They want to hold on to the pleasure some how or other. Is it possible, a fleeting thing to be made stationary?
They will have to enquire birth and death as a single unit. They should know that the existence has given them birth with a form for a thing already existing and you don’t start existing only after birth. A continuity is given from fertilized egg, to the birth of a child and into a man and finally into a different continuation as death which is unknown and unnecessarily you are afraid of some thing which you do not know. He cannot say that the particular egg died to become a child. As a grown up man he cannot say the child died for the man to be born. It is only a continuous change of forms from something from sperm egg combination to old man to death and it goes on continuing till you know yourself. It goes on changing continuously, from fertilized egg to old man. Remember this fertilized egg was existing in some form earlier. After that what? He separates death and says man dies. What does he mean by man? If they are made to consider and know that they existed before birth then, there may be a sudden awakening. But for this knowledge to be gained one should have a free time. Not to run. Sit in a place and contemplate about this process of his own birth, old age to death. He should know his unknown nature of himself prior to birth. The unknown nature of himself after death. But he is afraid, scared to think or talk about death, because the very thought of death itself may direct his attention towards worldly objects and possessions and he will be scared to know reality. But they may feel life may not have meaning if they go deep into this. They may feel, they are missing life. If life with its sophistication is to be missed, it will create a terrible reaction pulling him back to his original state. Then he jumps back into this sophistication. But he is not aware that something is waiting in the form of Death. How is he going to overcome this? He can, provided, he knows that it is the form that goes on changing at a very rapid speed. He does not know that everything inside him is moving at a tremendous speed simultaneously replacing itself.
Just now man is simultaneously dead and alive. This is said not by me alone. This is said by the great physicist Schrödinger and other physicists. Man is made of this stuff which lives and dies simultaneously. To put it in a common man’s language a man is simultaneously dead and alive which he does not know and will never accept it inspite of scientific proof. Because this rapid speed of this appearance and disappearance is perceived by the mind at the same speed and projects illusions of reality. Therefore, every thing appears as permanent.
But he cannot feel it. The feeler is nobody and appears to be illusory. How do you know all this will be your next question. Because of Consciousness and a deep inquiry into what I am and you are also conscious just now, but you don’t inquire and you are not aware of Consciousness. Are you mad?
You think you are a name
The ‘you’ consists of hands, legs, heart, brain, etc. What are you in this? You may say I consist of all these organs. But do you introduce yourself as such? No. You have a fancy word for it being the name which some one gave you. But that some one is not calling this group of organs by that name. If they call there may be a meaning. Some thing like I see a shape of organs and call it a dog. But you are calling yourself by that name. You are introducing yourself to some one by that name. Your parents have given a name to a form consisting of various organs. How is it that the other man/woman is different from you except a name. You are both the same but for the name. If you don’t know the name of some one you call him ‘Hello you there come here’. Stop here for a while. You are both the same. You have a name and the other becomes Hello or you. You have created a duality here with names. Your name and Hello or you. This ‘you’ and your name are the same possessing the same organs. There is another problem here. When some thing is done you say to some body as ‘I did it’. Why don’t you say Mr/Ms xyz did it, they being your parents. You don’t. Don’t you see the fun here this xyz has become ‘I’. Which is correct in this? If I call you “ ‘I’ come here” will you respond? Why don’t you respond because you were always calling yourself as ‘I’. Is this ‘I’ not false? You are identifying yourself as ‘I’ but recognizing yourself with a name. This is another duality you are creating. That is how a girl becomes your ‘wife’ and the same ‘girl’ becomes your ‘mother’. Here I mean the composite of organs. Are you a group of organs or ‘I’ or a name. Decide and let me know, so that I can call you by that.
Unexplainable mystery
Every thing arises from the source of ‘What is’. But the source is unaffected, unaltered. It remains as it is. This source is neither knowledge nor ignorance. It is neither anything nor nothing. This source is a no thing which is ‘You’, the inner core of You. You can experience it, know it.
The mind, thoughts and ego arises from the source. The process of its submergence also arise from the source but it is not the source. It is the question and it is the answer arising from this source. Mind arises from this source as illusion and energy is born out of it but it is not the mind. The Universal mind is pure in nature. It also submerges into the same source from which it arose, It is neither cognizable nor perceivable. Inspite of these appearances the source remains as it is. The forms created or dreamt or imagined by the mind through its own contiguous phenomena can be said as unreal or illusion. It can also be called as real when in ignorance. There is no second one to make a distinction here, at the source. It is nameless and formless. This source cannot be pin pointed. With reference to the body it can only be assumed as the heart which is also not correct. This source is the same for the mind and no mind. Every song, its music, its lyrics arise from here. No one can claim a right for it because
he is himself a part of what is projected. Just like a water bubble on the water. The bubble cannot say it is independent of water. Matter arises from the dream of the mind as energy. They get bifurcated through the illusion of ego as good and bad with relation to actions and the quality of how it is perceived.
No doer arises from the source. Thoughts assume a self nature as ego and dreams of a quality of doership. To know this, guidance also arises from the source. But nothing has any inter relationship. When one arises the other stops though everything arises from the source. ‘It’ is not responsible for what is arising and every thing is also contained in source. But the contents is not the source. It is not correct to say that whatever happens or perceived is the act of this source and therefore, every thing is only ‘It’. ‘It’ is not an illusion like every other thing. Every thing floats on it as an illusion and gets merged into It and ‘It’ has got nothing to do with it. But without It nothing can arise. But It is not what is arising. No one can claim a right for any thing. Intellectual property right is a mere bunkum.
It is the thoughts which create all miseries and pain. They don’t arise from the source. What ever is said here, I as a man cannot claim a right for it because my existence itself is an illusion. There is no place to pin point that this is the mind and this is the heart. Some thing said with reference to a body is only a mere example, thought based, for the ignorant one to understand.
Here what is the meaning of law, customs and rituals. Every thing appears to arise from the Whole. But the Whole is not doing it. Your science etc. will fail here. Everything arises from It and goes back into it without leaving a foot print.
Words and language arise from the mind through thoughts and disappears into mind and the mind retracts to its source. Like a mirage. You cannot give a name to it because you cannot pin point It. You can only merge with it leaving the body. This Wholeness is the Master or Guru. Any one through whom the sayings come cannot take credit for it and say ‘I said’. Everything appearing to happen is inside this wholeness. What ever you see as out side is just an illusion. It is inside.
Guru is this Wholeness and as disciple you are already in it. You unnecessarily search for this Wholeness in which you are like a fish searching for water. Your so called Big Bang is just a dust appearing and disappearing in this Wholeness. You are just catching hold of the tip of the tail, and think it is the head and go on discussing for years together.
Your prayer also arises here seeking to know yourself when you are already there. Your prayer happening in some building is an illusion. The seeker seeking himself happens here when you are already there and not in some building or in a thing called world. It may appear so, but you are ultimately led into this ‘Wholeness’ to know yourself. All the senses perceiving anything out side is just an illusion.
What is man? What is life? Explain from here and not from an illusory place called the world. Man as ego with his thoughts is actually building castles in the air using air.
Life and Death
This heading itself will make you repulsive and skip over this topic. I request you to read.
The Universe is only in a non visual fluid state. There is no solidity anywhere in it. Every thing in it goes on changing continuously. This change is also an illusion as it appears and disappears at an unimaginable speed, faster than the speed of light. There is nothing else in the Universe which can be compared to this speed.
If you are aware of your own thought process, you will come to know that there is a different purpose of our existence. You will start reducing thoughts which say you are the body. You will come to know your vain pursuit of seeking wealth and fame based on externalities. You may start exploring your inner world. Your fear for death will become meaning less and you will start seeing a new world with wonders like a child sees the world without any attachment. The child does not come to any preconclusion. You will become aware of the falsity of birth and death, which are only changing phases on a permanent base or foundation. That base is the real you. The aim of life is not to know its immortality, but to live a life and know that you deserve it, the immortality of the real you. Life cannot die. The body may fall but that is a different matter. You will start living only when you know about death.
You will not come to know the meaninglessness of your attachments to your possessions, which are fleeting in nature, but you conclude or presume that they are your permanent possessions and you will go on living even when you see others dying, thinking you will continue to live. You feel that if you don’t think of death, life is worth with wealth and fame. Not thinking of death is not going to save you from death.
Normally one comes to the conclusion at the fag end of his life that the life he led had no meaning and purpose other than enlarging his family. Only at this point he feels that this fag end of life cannot be used for earning wealth and making fame out of it, he looks at religion to spend time. A true religion is not available to him. Even if available what is the use? Can he learn anything and spread it across among the young ignorants? Certainly not. He will die like an animal. Only when we start living knowing the meaning of life and death at a younger age we will find a meaningful life and we will be able to help at least a handful.
I am repeating what some one said “We are not humans having a spiritual experience but we are spiritual beings having human experience”. We get lost in this human experience for many more births to come. You refuse to know your original nature. You depend on religion for the fulfillment of your desires. Can this ever happen? You are utterly blind to this truth.
The world and you
It is the pleasure of the bee to gather honey from the flower. It is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee. For both it is a need and ecstasy- Kahlil Gibran.
Is there a mutual pleasure among any two where there will be absolute satisfaction? The buyer thinks he is clever in bargaining so he will be saving money. The seller thinks he is clever in dumping some thing on him and make as much money as possible. Here both think that they have made money by bargaining and marketing. The buyer may be capable of spending much more. But he will bargain for a penny. Both think they have duped the other and both also think the other is a fool. Here, who is what? This is my question. Some one said ‘either you cheat some one or get cheated by some other’. Both think it is not cheating. The world goes on with this, not bothered about any thing though it has given birth to you. Don’t think you were born to your parents. Go to the core, to the crux. Did not the world produce every thing? Is the world not providing you some thing for your living? Do you know this or recognize this? What is that we have done to it to show our gratitude? Your very life is sustaining because of the world and the world sustains because of you. It does not want to see itself as an empty rolling ball. You and the world are inter related, inter twined. But you don’t see the world at all. You don’t even look at the earth below your feet. You think you are a separate entity when you cannot be separated from the world. But we go on doing more and more harm to it resulting in the nature of events changing. Remember if you suck the earth’s blood you face a Tsunami or earth quake.
Now coming to the subject, are we not doing the same to our wife/husband, children, parents and friends depriving them of what they are worth. We do it because we think they are our possessions. Think and find out what we are doing why we are doing?
The children and you
The children know you much better than you know yourself, Don’t under estimate them. But the irony is that they don’t know themselves. The moment you close the bed room doors, they know what is happening behind the door. But you don’t know what they are doing out side. You may think they are reading but you don’t know what they are reading. Much of the whispering talks happen at that time over phone, when you idiots are other wise busy. You are happy you finished your job and also think you are happy the children were busy with their books. Is this not happening every day in your house. I don’t say interfere, but know it. They are also like you waiting to close their bed room doors. A day will come they will fly away like a bird, leaving you cry. Don’t bother, after they fly off, you need not close the bed room doors. O.K. Be happy, if you can, after they fly off.
Does this not teach you something? It is non attachment. You brought them into the world and they go off on their own. May be you think you arranged for their going. What for? You will have to answer this question. You are afraid of their closing their bed room doors without your knowledge and acceptance. Can you deny this?
You are a tom tom.
A tells B that he is thinking of buying a cycle, This is A’s communication to B. But B tells C that A had purchased a cycle and he is also thinking of doing so. But C tells D that B purchased a scooter. This is how he received the communication of B and says he intends
doing so. D tells E that C had purchased a motor cycle. This is how he received it and says he intends doing so to E, E incidentally saw a car some where and tells F that D had purchased a car and he wants to do so. It goes on endlessly till it reaches an aero plane. A to F gets praises for a non doing and at every stage creating a desire of doing so but not done arises.
This is how I plan to go to a Mall for buying a pencil and end up in buying an ice cream cone. You think some thing and feel satisfied by doing some thing else. Your original idea disappears. This is very common in scientific research. This falsity goes on like forest fire. Some where some one gets stuck up in this falsity, which never happened, and goes on accumulating money for buying this imaginary aero plane and the whole life is gone. Some one said ‘A black crow had a white vomiting’. It ended up some where as another saying that he saw ‘A white cow vomiting black crows’.
This is the process of our false life which we lead. We live in imaginations. Nothing of some body becomes some thing to another. What a funny state? But the pity is, this some body does not know the end product or result in having expressed his desire. This desire unknowingly creates pains to several others. Cannot you keep quiet and buy what ever you like with out boasting? You buy any thing only for praises. Why this Tom Tom and many times not doing it. Forget not doing it, it never happens. Only Tom Tom.
Your puppy love
In the College one goes on telling others that he loves a girl and the girl may also love him. He tries his level best to attract her and does all sorts of monkey business. But at the end the girl quietly leaves the college and gets married to some one else. This poor fellow gets heart broken and some time may commit suicide. This is also applicable to girls. Is this love or infatuation? In reality in all most all cases it is only infatuation. An imaginary love affair.
This is what your dating means. Dating means selecting a suitable person for you so that you can be happy forever till the sun dies. This selection is made on what basis? You imagine you are something and want an equivalent to it. What is this some thing? Do you know? Can you spell it out without any comparison to some one else? Knowing your hidden quality or individuality is the most difficult task. Did you ever think whether this imagination of yourself will be sustained or continued till the end. Certainly not, because you are susceptible to change continuously. The other girl/chap may look better than your husband/wife. So what will happen? You long for some one other than your husband/wife and this goes on and you never express it. The statistics say majority of the youth between the ages of 16 to 40 have extra marital relationship. The others are a question mark. May be they are eunuchs or impotent or frigid or afraid.
You are what others forced you to be.
You don’t have a choice of what you actually want to be. You are led into some thing which either you do not know or not according to your liking. You become an Engineer because your father said so. You become a Doctor because your Father or Mother is a Doctor. But are you fit for it? Is it in your blood? Is this the hidden quality in you, which you managed to find out with a great deal of effort? No. Certainly not. You just accept being guided by your friends and parents and select a profession for which you are not fit. The entire world is like this except a few. If all run to the Engineering College you also run. The pity is you are forced to condition yourself for this right from your school days. One fit to be a mechanic becomes a Doctor. One who is fit to be a Doctor becomes an auto rickshaw driver.
You will see this anomaly every where because man/women do not know what they are. The only purpose is to make money. You may say ‘every one does it therefore I am also doing it’. You are correct if you say so but the trouble is you will start giving a thousand explanations. Remember you are doing some work which is not suited to you. You may make money and enjoy the sophistication of life and go on boasting about yourself. I am definite you will fail in life because life is not sophistication. Life is beauty, it is love, it is compassion. Do you experience all this with the money you fraudulently (sorry) earned. Can this money prevent you in getting diseases? Can this money make you not to feel miserable if your daughter/son runs away with another guy? Honestly answer. Don’t argue.
The whole life is wasted not knowing love, beauty and compassion. Can you see the beauty in a dust bin? Can you love an ugly looking man/women? Do you know any thing about compassion? Why are you hesitating to know all this and run only after money. I accept, a little bit of money is required for your basic requirement and not to flaunt your wealth and power.
Remember you have a right for the action alone and never at all for its fruits or results because you are not the doer. (This you will not understand) Let not the fruits of action be your motive which is ‘I should earn more by hook or crook”
Is it necessary to know yourself as Ego?
Ego is necessary to know yourself, without ego you cannot know. This ego is nothing but a bundle of thoughts with which you are made up and registered in your brain. The purpose or quality of ego is to gain true knowledge so that it can disappear. But the knowledge you possess in about the outer world and people and not about your own self. Be a witness even to your own talk. You are a witness to the talking, but you are not the talk. Seeing, hearing, feeling creates the illusion of the world or objects. This happens because of sensory organs which are nothing but thoughts. The experiences of the senses have to be translated into thoughts. Other wise you can not express any thing. As long as these sensory objects are not understood I will see myself only as a body. You are witnessing the seeing, hearing, feeling etc. Why do you think that they are done by the body and identify yourself with it, Drop this thought and become a witness, which you are. You are witnessing the mind which appear as forms. You are not the forms. But the forms are made out of the original ‘You’ by the mind. The mind uses you or ‘What is’ to perceive forms, which are mere shadows of itself. You see yourself as objects with the help of mind which is ‘What is’, not conscious of this fact. It is not a separate entity to see itself as objects and hence uses thoughts for recognition and identification. Mind can see every thing only as forms or objects (which are forms), which has no meaning for it. Thought produces the meaning such as body world etc. due to recognition. It also creates a division as you, me, this, that, etc,. Your nature is Samadhi with out mind. In the world if you are enlightened you will also be in Samadhi but with perception which you will know as illusions. Actually you are in Samadhi with the mind projecting you as forms or objects which you don’t realize. It is good to be in Samadhi with mind after knowing the mind, to see your own beauty as forms. As long as mind or body perception is there the external duality exists. When the falsity of the mind and body as separate entities is realized , they start loosing their individual identification and merge with ‘What is’. Till the merger is complete its external qualities appear to exist. But it is known that they are only appearances without any meaning or cause. You can act in the world without the conditioned thoughts operating. That is, you can be in a state of thoughtlessness and use thoughts for day to day living. Initially it is the most difficult task. By and by acting or action with few required thoughts happen. That action is just for the love of it and no return is expected.
Mind in its purity
When the thoughts stop, the mind is cleared of its impurities which are dreams. Always the beginning is known. Creation starts from there, which is creativity. ‘What is’ is beauty. ‘What is’ is silence. ‘What is’ is no thing,’ What is’ is bliss. ‘What is’ is aloneness. All these do not exist as separations. They are absolute. This absoluteness is the whole Truth. Other than this truth all else are not known as passing clouds never to return. The knower which is the known exist in its eternity as formless, nameless. Pure living emptiness.
The inner World
There is no duality. There is no internal or external. There is no mind, thoughts, and objects internally. The illusory external duality and multiplicity are there but it is known that external is false. Only the internal appears as illusory external. It is not false for the mind as long as the mind feels it is separate from ‘what is’. When the mind is cleaned of this misconception or whatever it is, then the falsity of the external is known to the mind and starts merging with ‘what is’.
The Truth can operate or express itself only in silence. Once the silence is broken the link to the Truth is broken. Whatever comes after that are illusory expressions. That is why there are so many books and religions existing to explain the truth but they don’t do it and you are also not interested in knowing it. The one who knows can teach it to some extent. But the one who hears it cannot understand it but with much efforts he can understand. This understanding is beyond the body. Your concept of ‘I am understanding’ is false. The realized one’s presence can transmit many things which the words cannot. Therefore, truth remains unsaid. This truth is everything and not every thing also. This truth is the mind and not the mind. That is the mind is made of Truth and the Truth is not made up of mind. This truth is the word but not the world also. This can happen only when the mind, thought, ego and world merges into oneness. The truth is all this but all this are not the truth. This will never be known to others who use the intellect. Other than the one who knows, however hard he explains, it is beyond his capacity to tell or explain by words to an ignorant one who calls himself an intellect. He should throw off what all had been thrust upon him.
He should stop operating within the ambit of thoughts. When he is not the mind or thoughts he remains as ‘What is’. He cannot say it. Science philosophy and religion operates from within the known, which is mind and thoughts. Whatever is said is only the reflection of thoughts and not the truth. When mind merges absolutely, knowing happens in absolute silence.
Science experiments from outside to know outside. Spiritualism experiments from inside to know that inside is out side and that inside is a No thing. You can feel it just by closing your eyes with out any thought. Science is stuck outside as it cannot take outside to inside. It has to start from inside to outside. When realization happens who is to understand what. There is nothing to be known, when the knower is known as itself. As long as mind exists as thought and body, activities happen which appear as burden. This burden is for whom? When there is nothing to hold this burden, the burden also disappears. The activities just simply happen without cause. There is no expectation of anything in return in this activity. It happens just like a mirage. When the quality of this mirage is understood ,the burden of activity also disappears but the activity remains.
What ever is there is forever
What ever is there is only for my knowing. Otherwise, I am not known. This knowing is the knowledge, the true knowledge. This happens by using the same thoughts and mind. Without mind I am not known. I become the mind to be unknown retaining my original nature. This not known is the knower and known becoming one with the knower when I withdraw as mind and remain as what is. What ever appears to happen as good, bad, ugly, beauty, is all for knowing. There are activities because of action. The activities are reactions for knowing pain, pleasure, sorrow, happiness for the purpose of knowing which appear through the body which you call ‘me’. These appearances are for the purpose of knowing Me. The knowing happens to Me. What ever that appears to think is only Me for the purpose of knowing. I am only ‘What is’. This is the truth. Every knowledge is for knowing of Myself. But the false knowledge is trying to know ‘What is or which is knowing’. Once knower is known everything suddenly finds a meaning. This known is No thing and exists as ‘what is’ for ever. There is no end and beginning. How to explain this state? It is some thing like wheels within wheels. Endless wheels rotating on its own without any causation. Bewildering. What short of miracles? Can there be a miracle more than this truth? I am the truth, the truth is Me.
With the sight object appears. When it is understood they are only appearances, they loose their meaning or importance. There is no sight also, but appears to exist as an illusion. When this is known, the whole idea of whatever is seen loses its value. The second person and third person have no meaning. When their meaning is lost, the purpose of existence is also lost. What is left is only ME. I alone exist. Which and what can understand this? What ever comes from books, loses its meaning.
I see my self as beauty. I see myself as songs and singing. I see my see myself as body. There is no ego to be seen. I see myself as love. I am known as objects. What the objects know is not Me. The subject starts knowing the objects as ignorance. When they know me they start knowing themselves. The object is subject in itself, but unknown to mind and thoughts.
Everything is for the knowing of the unknown, which is the truth. It is only the purpose of life and living. Nothing can live without knowing. But the real knowing is missed by the false knower. You as a mind or you as a body is knowing beyond you but also within. The knowing is not a person. Knowing is for the knower who is always. Man thinks “he is knowing”.
Every thing will go on its own. The mind goes on its own way. Mind has taken a birth with a plan of knowing itself. Nobody can stop it. This mind will die or merge once Truth is known. Nobody is there as a doer but every thing is going on. We don’t do anything, Where is the need to complain or comment. But we get caught due to an illusory ego and try to escape from reality. The only way is not to get caught by the ego. But it does not mean escapism. People argue that if you remain silent they will feel you are useless. They want gossip to show they are something more than others. If somebody says I am simple this means I am not simple. Be what you are. If you have said you are simple it means comparison. You are always reflected by others. Just be in joy, laugh, sing, dance with no desire or attachment.
Tasting is a sort of prayer not for a person. It is a movement for knowing every sensory action with out a knower. Man thinks he is the taster. Such a condition or such a state of tasting alone will be there and not the taster. There is no taste only tasting is there. Similarly every sensory perception as a taster is false. The tasting is also not real, when the reality is known. In knowing that there is nothing to be known by the knower.
Rituals and surrender
You have not gone into true religion as yet, therefore, you depend on rituals. You perform these rituals believing all your desires will be fulfilled. Stop here for a moment. If the rituals which you perform mechanically (including the one who makes you to perform them) are going to get you what all you want, then every one who performs it should also get what all they desire or want. In such a case no one in the world will be poor and unhealthy. No one will die. All their ambitions will materialize. Every one will lead a contended life forever. Is it happening? You fall sick. You become poor or borrow from a Bank. Whether you like it or not you will die one day. Then what is the meaning of these rituals. Have you ever gone into the meaning of it? No. In a Homa it is said ‘Just like I cannot see heat but I can feel it, You being the God is like that. Therefore, I surrender what all I possess including my ego to the unseeable heat of the fire and I hope it will reach You since You are not seeable and I consider the heat to be You and surrender every thing to the heat’. Is this statement which is repeated in several Homas true? Certainly not, because you consider god and think he is somewhere far off. For you god is a name forgetting the ever present pure Consciousness which you know and are aware every moment. Why give a fancy name as god to Consciousness which is always present now and here but you are not aware of it though you know it and feel it every moment. This happens because of your unconscious actions based on desires and conditioned thoughts. Have you ever surrendered your ego which contains every thing of you as a person and got relieved of it at the end of these rituals?. Can you be honest here and say ‘yes. I have surrendered my ego to the unseeable heat considering it as god’. Touch your heart and say it. If you have surrendered your ego to some thing, what is it that is left?. You will disappear as a person as an individual. Have you disappeared after such rituals? (not physically). Why have you not thought of it so far? Which ritual to follow? Hindu or Islam or Christianity or Buddhism or Jainism. Every thing demands your ego to be surrendered. You are not even aware of it and go on doing it mechanically for material benefit. Is it possible?
Have people belonging to different religions have surrendered their ego? Did you find out? First of all have you done it? Then what rubbish you are talking about rituals and go on boasting and recommending to your friends and relatives and make them blind followers of certain procedure which has no meaning at all as far as they are concerned.
Did you ever care to find out who is the sufferer? Who is the one who wants material benefits? From where did he come from? What for? I am just leaving this matter open for you to use your common sense. No Intelligence is required because you do not know what Intelligence is and from where it comes. Just use the ordinary common man’s knowledge.
The rituals you follow appear quite contrary to the rituals followed in other religions. Don’t they suffer and die like you? Which ritual one has to follow? You don’t know. Yet you follow what some one told you. They may be your parents, relatives and friends of your own religion. If the suggestion comes from some one from other religion, you out right reject it or you may do it and think it is meant for them.
Why all these rubbish acts. Can you just now surrender your ego to the Consciousness which you know and feel. But you are not aware. Be aware of your Consciousness. It is here and now. No need to search elsewhere. Just here, right now. Recognize it and surrender to it.
Can you awake at least now and start enquiring? I doubt.
Surrender to the Master
You are seeing the Master as a body with a name and think he is also like you with a body with some knowledge on Spiritualism. This is where every one commits a great mistake. Though he appears to you as a body, internally he is altogether different. He is absolute No Thingness. You will not know this since you cannot go inside him. This is how you are taken for a ride by the bogus gurus. They have special costumes by which you are attracted. You are attracted by these costumes. As your purpose of meeting him is not for the purpose of knowing the truth, you are misguided by the costumes. You have never met a real Master in your whole life with the purpose of knowing yourself. You think he can make you get all material benefits by some sort of magic. This is your only purpose of meeting such bogus swamiyars and temple visits. Honestly, tell me whether you go to any temple to know the truth, the truth about yourself. Certainly not. You want miracles to happen to make you rich and enjoy all the sophistications of life. This cannot happen. First of all, you recognize yourself with the body and call the body as ‘I’. For this bogus or false ‘I’ nothing could be done. You will say ‘I have read in some books that such miracles are performed by gurus’. I was also telling the same thing long, long ago. You just accept whatever he gives you as a statue or a lingam or kum kum or vibhuthi from nowhere. I was also amazed. When I went deep into it, I found it to be a bogus thing. To one such chap I simply asked for a Parker pen and I do not want any thing else. He quietly told me to come the next day. (His disciples later on surrounded me and asked me whether I had come to test the powers of their guru). This so called guru, also produced a garland from nowhere and gave it to me but failed to give me a Parker pen.
These are all tricks and magic and you fall a prey. You don’t ask him to produce a bag of rice or a tin full of ghee or a cow. People are so ignorant that they are lured by such fellows. I am using harsh words since they deserve it. Search for a real Master. It may take you a life time. But your intentions are not for getting real knowledge. You want magic. Some humbug thing. What can be done with you?
Getting to know a real Master is a difficult job. If your intention is to know yourself, then search for a real Master and surrender unto him absolutely. He will not need your wealth. Because he is already possessing the whole world, the whole Universe. How can you surrender some money to him? This fact you will never know unless you spend several years with him. If, I repeat, if you come across such a real Master surrender yourself, become egoless and surrender. You are just nothing, not even a dirt. I am telling this with full awareness. Whether to accept or throw it off, is your job. You are just an advanced species of animal. Science accepts this and you cannot find fault with me.
Are you searching or seeking the truth? Find a Master and surrender unto him and after which you don’t exist as a person at all. Are you willing and prepared? I am certain you will get a tremendous shock. Are you willing to experience this shock?
Religion is just an organization
As long as the Truth remained as Truth there was no need for any organization to organize anything as truth alone was and is pervading. When expression of this Truth through a body was not there, ignorance took possession of these expressions and made it into a false religion. When these expressions of Truth that came through a body of itself disintegrated (only the body and not the truth), the ignorance could not realize the real meaning of such expressions came as words and started interpreting according to the qualities of ignorance and an organization developed around it. This organization came to be known as religions with different, different names. Such organizations of religion managed by a group of ignorant started fighting with other organizations which were thinking that they were spreading the Truth. Religion means to unite everything as one. But unfortunately these organizations instead of uniting started splitting into various groups or organizations. Any organized religion cannot and will not teach the Truth. On the other hand they will only go on splitting it further. The Truth has to be revealed by itself through a body of itself and disintegrate into itself. Is this happening now or can this happen now? But you mad fellow running hither and thither.
Religions have become belief systems instead of spreading Truth which is to know oneself. Since time immemorial god has been reduced to a concept. Conceptualised and ritualistic definition. This will only serve the purpose of the false gurus or priests in asserting and shaping religion to almost chaotic superstition ridden belief system. It certainly killed the knowledge of knowing god as Consciousness. People are deprived of experiencing god as Consciousness, as a presence rather than as a person.
Science says that the Universe is nothing but an energetic presence and came to a conclusion that matter is nothing other than energy revealing itself as myriads of forms. It fails to go into ego and Consciousness. But for this Science and Spiritualism are one and the same. The science is undergoing a radical change today and almost come to the conclusion that god and Universe are the same but for the name. How this perception takes place and by whom? Science is yet to go into it. One day it will have to go into this fact when it can declare that only the Truth is the religion which is true science.
Brahmam in Sanskrit means ever expanding. Science says that the Universe is ever expanding. What is the difference between Brahmam and Universe? This Universe is nothing but expression of creativity done through the Universal mind. Mind is an uninterrupted process of creativity and only ego as ‘I’ meddles with it. To know true religion is to realize your creative presence just now. You manifest as creativity and creativity manifests as you. Every moment you are a creativity of Consciousness and every moment you (as consciousness) are the creativity of Consciousness. Consciousness and the ‘You’
together. It is not even one but certainly not two. Can you understand this oneness which is there just now as you?
Be a witness to yourself, your actions
Be a witness even to your own talk. You are a witness to the talking but you are not the talk. Don’t judge, don’t recognize, don’t identify. Always remain in non judgmental state. Be a witness of it. In this state what are words? What can be perceived or conceived? Nothing.
I am seeing through the body, but the body is not me. Then whom do I see? I see myself from various angles. Mind shows me as the world which is ‘me’. As Consciousness I am seeing through the eyes without seeing that means no identification, no recognition just seeing through the body not identifying anything. Thought says you are seeing but there is no you. Body is a mirror to reflect the world. Truth is always seeing itself as no thing. As pure mind I see myself in various forms without identification. This can happen only when the mind merges with ‘what is’. Thoughts create a division. When the body closes its eyes no forms are visible. When its opens I see myself in various forms. When the mind merges with ‘Me’ there is no duality. Universal Mind and Consciousness together. When you know you are not the body or mind, you will know the truth. If you are not there, nothing is there. You alone exist. Don’t ask any question such as ‘what about others?’ You always think of others when they don’t exist without you. Find out this ’I’ first, which alone remains and existing. This is the only thing you can do in your life. The rest of the things happen automatically. They only appear as real for the mind and not the real ‘you’. How do you know what I am? On what basis you say you know me?
We are producing rubbish thoughts, which complicates matters. Mind is going on its own way. Thoughts are complicating its way. Mind is body. Mind is world, Mind is universe. Can you know the world with out mind and body? The world does not come from out side. If it comes from out side, it will also go away.
People don’t know what love is. It disappears due to possessive nature. Life is wasted in trouble, sorrow and misery. Instead of being happy always, people live in misery. Even if you say, they will not listen. That is why I said listening is an art. In listening, only love is there and the person disappears.
What ever is there, it is for my knowing. Other wise I am not known. This knowing is the world through the body. This happens because of mind. Without mind, I am not known. I become the mind as an illusion to be known. This not knowing is the knower and known becoming one. When the mind withdraws itself it remains as ‘what is’. What appears to happen as good, bad, ugly, beauty is all for knowing. These are activities because of actions through thoughts. The activities are reaction for knowing. Pain, pleasure, sorrow, happiness are all for knowing. The knowing happens to ‘me’. What ever that appears to think is only me for the knowing. I am only ‘what is’.
With the sight object appears. When it is understood they are only appearances, they loose their meaning as a separate entity. There is no sight also, but appears to exist. When this is
known, the whole idea of whatever is seen looses its meaning because they are ‘me’ being projected by the mind as objects. The second person and third person have no meaning. What is left is only ME. I alone exist. Which and what can understand this? What ever comes from books looses its meaning.
I see my self as beauty. I hear myself as songs and singing. I see myself as body. There is no ego to be seen anywhere as I see myself as love. I am known as objects. What the objects know is unknown. The objects start knowing the objects are in ignorance. When they know ‘me’ they start knowing themselves. The objects are subject in itself, but unknown to itself. The subject is Me or I.
Everything is for the knowing of the unknown to the mind which is the truth. It is only the purpose of living. Nothing can live without knowing. But the real knowing is not the knowing the world but to know oneself. You know you only as a body beyond that you don’t know. You are now remaining as mind or as a body. Knowing beyond you is also within you. (I am certain you will be confused here) The knowing is not done by a person. This knowing is for the knower which is the mind, to know its falsity and reach its real nature. Man thinks “he is knowing”. But thinking itself is knowing which is beyond the body.
Every thing will go on its own. The mind goes on its own way searching its source. Mind has taken a birth with a plan to know its source. Nobody can stop it. This mind will disappear once the truth is known. Nobody is there but every thing appears to go on, on its own. We as people don’t do anything. Where is the need to complain or comment? But we get caught in the ego and try to escape from knowing ourselves. The only way is not to get caught by the ego or the falsities of the external world. It does not mean escapism. People start arguing. If you remain silent they will feel you are useless. They want gossip to show that they are something more than others. If somebody says ‘I am simple’ it means I am not this. Be what you are. There is no need to comment on yourself. If you are simple and humble it will be known to others. You need not publicize. Yet if you say you are simple it is said on the basis of comparison. You are always reflected by others by their comments about you. How do you know what they say is the truth? Just be in joy. Laugh, sing, dance. No desire no attachment.
The flow of Truth
The truth appears or flows on itself. Preparation of the body by thoughts prevent the flow of truth. It flows in the toilet, while cleaning the teeth etc. By the time one finishes with such
activity and comes out, a block appears in the form of engagement meant for either spending time or earning. One has to be always available to hear or feel the flow as words.
The only other instrument which wants to be with this instrument always, is a thing called wife. Unless that is prepared to write down whatever is said at any part of the day, it is not possible to bring it out as written words, even if the sayer runs out of the bathroom naked and says something, the other instrument should write down whatever is said. This cannot happen in the normal circumstances of the so called world. The true teller cannot fix a time
and start saying. It is so unpredictable. Even his preparation becomes prevention. The hearer is still worse. He finishes all the flooding of his various thoughts about his engagements or family problems. This is (Me) only an instrument which keeps still and silent. In this state the truth flows. The talk being recorded or written by someone also prevents this flow. This instrument, as it is, in any condition, can go on speaking . At such times when the truth flows the hearer has to hide himself without the knowledge of this instrument and write down what flows as speech. But it is very doubtful as to how much real speech will be written. This is how the truth flown through a body called a Master, later on gets corrupted due to wrong recordings as words and religion becomes irreligious. This is the religion you see today. Because of all these obstructions the oneness of truth is split as various parts as explanations. This splitting and explanation actually prevents the truth and results in utter confusion. The one hears it is also under confusion. Because there is a constant comparison going on in him. Comparing what he knows and what he hears. What he imagines appears to be a contradiction. He starts arguing instead of listening which is an art. But out of his own compulsion he remains without hearing and allowing his thoughts to run amuck. Therefore, he chooses an easy method which is religion and rituals, where listening is not required. Only thoughts act as the doer. When he comes out he is more conditioned than what he was. These are the disciples. Such disciples can have only such masters. Both are excellent actors. Ignorance to the core.
The fact that the so called guru covers himself with a specific clothing etc. indicates that he is identifying himself with the body. In such an identification, the flow of truth is completely obstructed. He cannot speak the truth and can only repeat what all he read in books or what all he was told. This does not mean that one should be naked. He has to loose his identification with anything and everything. This is the true Nirvana and not nakedness of the body. This anything and everything is only a mental concept.
When he himself starts writing, the linguistic conditions interfere. These are picking proper words and formation of sentences according to certain norms prescribed by language. The words unimaginably move in preventing the flow of truth. Occasionally here and there someone understands something and he has to start his own journey. When he just starts knowing, the ignorant ones jump on him and suppress his growth with praises, wealth and other methods. Then at that stage the one that starts knowing goes backwards and gets submerged in such activities and he is lost forever. These are our wealthy present day gurus.
The slightest hindrance caused to the flow of truth is the end of the flow. It is a tremendous sacrifice on the part of the seeker to lose his identity. This is the real sacrifice and not cutting the throat of a goat or fowl.
This sacrifice is the loosing of one’s own identity, unconcerned of the world attitude. When this identity is lost, he is no more there as a person or individual. There is only an emptiness present to receive whatever that comes. The body may be there for others. But for him he is unconcerned of the body, clothing etc.
How many are there with such qualities to know the truth. Can a crowd say that they are in such a state? Naturally the one who knows will avoid them or he will be avoided by others. All most all the Gurus are book worms and not realized ones. People get cheated due to their own desires and the gurus become wealthy and run after fame.
In deep Silence
In silence very deep conversation goes on. It is not known whether it is between two or one. What ever it is, it is something like passing through light but not exactly light. The mind is something like a crystal ball. It is submerged in another big crystal ball but not exactly a ball because it has no boundary. It is something like an endless transparent glass sheet submerged in light. The light passes through this submerged crystal ball called MIND. There is no differentiation of mind and ‘what is’ here. In the passing of this light rays through these submerged mind or crystal ball ‘what is’ is known. With out this glass ball which is the mind ‘what is’ cannot be known. This submerged glass projects itself as thoughts for the recognition of the world, the action, the ego and everything. Whatever is there is visibly present. But the vision is false. This submerged glass which appears to contain all this, is for the knowing of itself as knower which is ‘what is ‘ or the knower is known to itself. Known means it is not a visible factor like seeing something and knowing. Every action right or wrong is for this knowing. Ultimately this submerged ball dissolves into itself and nothing is to be perceived or to be known. There is no mind or thoughts or the world at this stage to be perceived. To know that I am unknown to myself other than what I am is the truth. All the rest are just components of this knowing. Just bookish knowledge.
Knowing happens, known happens, when unknown remains as just the vast living emptiness which appears to contain something like a vast sheet or light or transparent glass. This saying can happen only with the emergence of this so called submerged glass which is wrongly identified as mind and through which identification as world etc.arise. But this identification itself is the glass. How to explain? This glass is not real. This glass is an illusion comprising of ‘what is’.
How this is known? To whom this is known? Mind is unknown. Why this is known remains unknown. Not knowing anything and remaining as ‘what is’ alone is the truth. Any name given to it has no meaning. What is existing is always existing. It is called by the glass which is the mind as ‘Existence’ which is also a name or word.
Whatever phenomena that happens in this submerged glass is neither true nor untrue. Even the word illusion is also neither true nor untrue .This glass is just a reflection of the truth itself and not the truth. Nothing is real or unreal. It is this division that makes it look as ignorance and knowledge. It is this division that makes it look matter and energy. When both are one the opposites are one. You cannot call it as opposites. It cannot be said in words. One cannot say one is false and the other is true. The mere saying creates a division.
Thoughts take the form of shapes. This submerged glass is an illusory movement in a non movement of another endless glass. It is together as one glass and cannot be separated. All
actions are only movement of thoughts. All thoughts are only movement of mind. The mind is the movement of non movement. This is the actual, but will look contradictory. No thought can penetrate this level. There is nothing to penetrate.
The illusion to know itself as illusion is neither false nor true. Two sides of one coin. Two sides of one coin cannot be separated as two separate sides. It can only dissolve when neither this nor that is there. This is the Truth.
There is nothing as ‘I’ or ‘You’ or ‘This’ or ‘That’ or ‘It’, separating this wholeness and offering explanations individually. Commentaries cannot reveal the truth .How something or some one comes to know? This truth at this state is unknown. No religion or scriptures can make the truth known. Knowing the truth and being the truth is alone present and existing and it has to happen without any efforts with desires. Words alone cannot explain anything. The Truth remains like a mirror reflecting nothing.
Body
Body is a movement, meant for movement. This movement creates feelings and makes the body move. Those feelings are illusions, sensory perceptions. These senses are only illusions of the illusory mind. This illusion appears as a movement in non movement. The whole thing is neither movement nor nonmovement. Explanations cannot be given for anything. All the explanations become false here. The explanations are based on preconceived thoughts. Dead thoughts.
Not knowing and knowing is the nature of Existence. How can an explanation be given about the reality of not knowing? The illusions of the formation of anything cannot be known. Can you say how a mirage is formed and why in such a form? All explanations are only hypothetical and not true. In reality you cannot ask a question.
Non seeing and seeing are (is?) simultaneous. The mind seeing ‘what is’ as objects and Consciousness remain as such. (Mind also is Consciousness, but that is a different matter) In seeing without identification or cognizance what is seeing? It can only be called as non seeing though seeing is there and there is no perception of an object and a subject. The subject you never know. In seeing as ‘what is’. only the Consciousness remains. The seer, seeing and seen all together. This seeing is tremendously powerful, electric. This seeing is love, beauty and compassion. This non seeing and seeing is (are?) beyond mind. When someone come across this seeing he/she is either attracted or dispelled on the condition of he/she who sees this.
In seeing an object with a quality of non seeing ‘what is ‘ is known. Seeing the consciousness by the mind as objects also happens simultaneously. This Consciousness as such is tremendously powerful and attracts like a magnet. This seeing alone is love and compassion. When turned internally you start loving yourself. This is the truth of Jesus saying ‘Love thyself”. Man/woman thinks he is loving something else instead of knowing
that he is loving him/herself. If he/she comes to know this truth where is the question of divorce or living together and getting separated.
Known means it is not a visible factor. Every action right or wrong is for this knowing. Ultimately this transparent glass which is the illusory mind dissolves and nothing is known or perceived. There is no mind here to perceive a world at this stage. To know here that I am unknown is the truth. All the rest are just components of this knowing.
How this is known? To whom this is known? Mind is unknown to exist as an independent entity because its component is only Consciousness. Why this is known remains unknown.
The illusion to know itself as an illusion is not possible. Two sides of one coin. Illusion as mind is one side and Consciousness is the other side. Everything that appears are two sides of one coin. Cannot be separated. It can only get dissolved in what is without dissolving because there is no need for dissolving once it comes to know that it is only Consciousness, when neither this nor that is there. This is the TRUTH.
The false disciples
There are two types of disciples. One is absolutely ignorant who goes to a so called guru to get his desires fulfilled. It may be harming somebody also. But they conceal in such a way that they express it in manner that they are being harmed by some one. This false guru believes it or acts as if he is believing it and indulges in some gimmicks. The desire of this selfish disciple may get fulfilled on its own and he starts thinking that this fulfillment happened because of the guru for which the guru gets well paid. It does not stop here. This useless disciple starts as the guru’s propaganda medium and starts boasting of the nonexistent qualities of the guru and collects a crowd for this guru and also gets well paid. In turn this crowd also indulges in doing the same thing and this guru’s disciples start growing into a huge crowd and by this time this guru would have acquired vast properties and other wealth. To safe guard this wealth he starts his own gang of thugs and criminals. At this stage he requires the help of politicians to safe guard his own interest and the interest of his gang. The politicians feel they can use the influence of this guru to get votes. This is where the false religion and politics come together and join hands.
The other type of disciples are the ones who happened to read some books on spiritualism and think they know the truth and want to check by comparison of their own bookish knowledge by approaching another guru with an intellectual knowledge of religion etc. If the disciple feels that this guru’s knowledge is much better than his own, he sticks on to this guru till he gets more intellectual knowledge and discards him once he feels he has acquired sufficient knowledge and fit to become a guru and starts on a similar process and indulges in advertising himself though various sources. Many times a fight arises between these two, the former disciple and an intellectual guru. This has ended in murders and mudslinging. By this time both would have acquired sufficient man power both criminal and political. This feud goes on endlessly. The end sufferer is the ignorant mass.
We are surrounded by these types of gurus in thousands. Some use black magic and does harm to others for the sake of money. This cannot work forever. The same thing will be done by the sufferer. Ultimately both suffer. What can they teach? But they are surrounded by thousands of people seeking personal benefits.
The real seekers are very rare. Similarly the real Gurus, who just appear as human body with a name. Till they both meet by chance or what ever it may be, the propagation of true knowledge becomes dormant. Occasionally here and there this happens. But both remain unknown to the crowd. The crowd wants only material benefits. Billions and billions of people form this crowd. How many Siddars are known to this crowd? Who wants to know them? The real gurus who tried to produce a new religion were killed. But the crowd does not know they cannot be killed. Their bodies may get disintegrated. But they Live in the Oneness and guidance is available all the time.
If the truth is sought where is the question of religious fights? All the religions say the same thing. Will this crowd ever seek the truth?
You are a big Zero
Truth is always available. The whole Universe is waiting to shower it on you. You can get it and experience it. The only condition is, you will lose your false self as ‘I’. You will find your ego missing. You will find all your conditioned thoughts missing. You will find the mind missing. You will find all your false personality missing. You will come to know that you are not separate from what all you see, feel, hear etc. You will come to know that the seer and seen are one. You will come to know a different ‘I’, the true Self or the true ‘I’. You will come to know what silence is. You will come to know what peace is. You will come to know what happiness is. All your attachments will disappear. All your desires will disappear. You will come to know that you are an unexplainable Zero. You will come to know that every thing arises from this Zero and disappears to it. How to go beyond this Zero? Not possible because you are already a zero a no thing. Unless you exist as something, you cannot penetrate a No Thing. When you come to know you are no thing how to expect some thing in it. You are a bullshit.
Who will want to know that they are big Zeros? But the truth is you remain as a zero and think you are some thing. This is the funniest part of Enlightenment or Self realization. You don’t exist, but appear to exist. Not knowing that you are a big zero you start building your ego. Can there be ego for a zero? You start building castles out of air remaining as air. You start building big ships out of water having submerged in water as water. Everything has to be seen, enjoyed and laughed at. All your talks about human resources, positive thinking etc. are mere ice cubes submerged in water calling itself that it is made up of something other than water. This ice cube is you.
The dying of the Ego
You are made up of some thoughts which is the ego. This is nothing but saying ‘I am the doer. I earn money. I built this house. I own the car. This is my wife. They are my children etc.’ The common factor is the ‘I’. If this so called ‘I’ is lost what is it that remains? Can you say some thing was done or made by you? Impossible. Everything is there as it is, just for seeing and not more than that. Can you claim ownership of mere seeing? This you will have to know not intellectually but experientially and you will come to know you are witnessing a cinema show or a great drama in which your body takes part. You witness this body also taking part in the drama. This is the beauty and mystery of it.
If it is realized that every thing is one then it becomes Advaitha. If it is considered that everything arises from No thingness without affecting it then it becomes Dwaitha. If it is considered that this Advaitha and Dwaitha are nothing but emptiness then it becomes Cynicism or Charuvagam. If it is considered that the body and its actions through thoughts is Sakthi or energy then the Universe becomes Sivam. If it is considered that this Sakthi and Sivam are inseparable oneness then it becomes Sathasivam or Absolute. If you ask ‘Who is this who is considering all this’ then it becomes a Zero. A living Zero or the true Self.
As thoughts are nothing but time, the process of knowing may appear as a long time or period or years. This period is the so called life time. This period will go on extending till it merges with this Absolute which is called reincarnations or many births. If you ask a question here “ For whom is the birth?”, the answer is “For nobody”. This ‘Zero’ is called as “Poojyam” or “Paripoornam” in Sanskrit, “Yathum Atra Nilai” in Tamil and “No Thingness” in English.
Now tell me what are you? What is that you are achieving in life when you as a person don’t exist at all?
Mind in scientific terms is zero.
Mind appears and disappears from the source at a rapid speed unconceivable by thoughts. Einstein only formulated the speed of energy but did not talk about mind. Science is not considering mind and thoughts because it is unconceivable by thoughts and science operates on the basis of thoughts and physical experimentation.
Though mind appears and disappears at a rapid speed, its product of thought and all objects conceived appears to be a continuum. Like individual pictures on a film when run at a speed of 24 frames per second producing an illusion of images moving on a screen.
This is exactly what is happening now in the appearance of objects. First of all the objects are illusions like a picture on a film. Secondly the speed of the illusory objects runs at that rapid speed or you may say this running is appearance and disappearance of illusory objects projected on a background like a cinema film and perceived by mind as a continuum.
Thoughts deciphers it in time and says man is walking at a particular time and goes to sleep at a particular time not knowing anything about this speed aspect. Science only talks about energy and its speed. But it does not say anything about the observer. Science considers or
takes for granted that there is an observer and calls him man. Is there a full man existing as an independent whole entity? No. Science thinks the body is man. Is this body the whole single independent entity? The body is a composite of various organs. Therefore, science cannot claim man as an observer. Science accepts that thoughts are neuron waves produced by brain traveling at a rapid speed. Now whom the science calls as an observer?
Without knowing or finding out the observer what is the meaning of what all science says? Till today science does not know anything about Consciousness. There are cases where men under anesthesia were conscious of every thing that was going in the operation theatre.
Can science explain the state of sleep? It may say sleep is unconsciousness. If so how these men under anesthesia were conscious of what was happening inside the operation theatre. A man was in coma for over two decades and one day when he came out of coma, he was able to narrate what all were happening during the period of coma. Can science offer any explanation about this consciousness. It may say they are freak cases. OK Let the science give an explanation about this freak people.
How a man says he had a good sleep. Science may call the sleep as unconsciousness. If so how a man says he had a good and sound sleep. Who is the experiencer of this so called sleep. Did the man was aware of his own sleep? If so he must have known the state of sleep otherwise he cannot say he had a sound sleep. It goes to prove that there is some thing more that was existing at the time of sleep and that something must alone be telling now the experience of sleep as sound and a good sleep. Is the sleeper uttering a falsehood? Who was the one who experienced the sleep. The one who experienced unconsciousness could say that he experienced unconsciousness? Is it possible? What is the meaning of unconsciousness? It loses its meaning when a man after sleep says that he experienced a sound sleep. What has science got to say about the experiencer? Is it a wave or something else because the thought of experiencing sleep comes as neuron waves.What is it? Is sleep a wave or unconsciousness a wave. Can waves express feelings. Can the most powerful gamma rays explain sleep or for that matter can X-ray explain any feelings or sensory feelings. What is it actually? Can science wake up and start studying about consciousness? I am certain science cannot do it because consciousness is not matter or atom.
Without a perceiver the science proceeds on assumptions but says they are proved by some useless mathematical formula. Who is this one who has proved it? A thought or a wave or something else. It is stuck here. Therefore, science cannot prove mind or thoughts because it is operating within this field of thoughts and mind. Can anything be said without an observer or perceiver? According to science who is this? Therefore, I say science is zero with regard to non matter which is Consciousness.
Some thing ‘Not’ and some thing ‘Is’ creates an appearance. Therefore, they are simultaneous like nonexistence and existence or death and life together. But the question is
who is the observer? Can death or life itself become the observer? Who is this observer? Find him first and talk about the rest later.
Who is the reader?
The eye situated in the body is only reading. Now tell me who is the reader? Is the eye or something else? Don’t say I am reading. If observed very minutely you will find the reading is not by the body but by the beyond. Can there be any reading without consciousness. If so even a dead person can start reading.
In the cycle of sleep, dream and waking body appear and disappear. In waking if a body falls down you call it death. Birth also happens when some thing as a body is falling. Is this falling birth and death? Falling of a body at one state becomes birth and the same falling at a different state becomes death. Is the one which appears as falling says this? Who is telling this? Is it anything else other than a thought?
This state of sleeping produces an illusory effect of birth and death. Waking is the rising of the body and its falling is the disappearance of the mind which has gone in search of another body having failed to know itself with that body. Is this birth and death true? Or are they independent events.
Science says that the basic building block of what seems to be matter is simultaneously a particle and wave. It amounts to saying you are dead and alive simultaneously. There is no separation. What you see two ends and something between is just an illusion which you call birth, life and death which cannot be separated as three different entities and yet you are afraid to talk about death. As this happens in time the mind through thoughts separates it with divisions of birth, living and death. These are all for whom is the question. Is it for the mind or something else? Is there a something to differentiate these separations. If so you must say mind one sees birth. Mind two sees living and mind three sees death. Do you experience such separations of mind? Do you at least verbally say I have three minds out of which I experience one now.
There is no cogency in dream. You say you find it only in waking. Is it so? Is it a continuous process or a process with intervals. This interval can you perceive. Without this perception how can you say anything is continuous or with intervals. Can a continuous event without any break be perceived? Is it humanly possible? Life is a continuous process starting from a source and going back to it. This is all that seems to happen. Dig at the source and let me know what you come across.
If there is a cogency between dreaming, waking and sleep, you will certainly perceive sleep also. Even if it were to be an unconscious one because it forms part of this cogency. Does it happen? It appears to happen because the truth is, you are a continuous beginning without any end and therefore, mind can only presume its continuity between two wakings and imagines that the waking is cogent though there is a gap called sleep which you have not perceived but after the sleep you say you had known a good sleep. From where can such statement arise? It can come only from something which is continuous. Can it arise at mind level as an independent agency which itself disappears in a state called sleep? Then what is
this sleep and mind? Go deep into it. Who is sleeping and who is disappearing has to be known and not by presumption on hypothesis.
Similarly the continuity or cogency appearing in waking can be true only if it is known in sleep. But you don’t know it. Therefore, it is false. The continuity of events in waking is false as it is not perceived in other states. This perception happens only within that state which disappears in another state. Therefore, you cannot say waking state is true because the next state is sleep which you don’t know.
Mind’s dream is yesterday
What is yesterday? A dream of events arising out of memory which you call today. Therefore, today is just a sort of continuation of yesterday’s so called events flowing as memory.
What is tomorrow? It is another imagination or dream of today based on events of yesterday. When you reach that tomorrow, it becomes today and continues based on events of yesterday. With this sort of fluidity can you say this events appearing out of memory is true? Today the events appear as true. But the events do not stay there permanently so that you can say these events are true. They are like passing clouds. Suddenly appearing and disappearing. Your concept of leading a life cannot be proved. Because it is not there. With reference to objects you consider that life appearing as it is now, is true. But who is identifying these objects? Is it the body? No. The identification is done only by thoughts. Thoughts presume that the objects existed earlier. But thoughts by itself cannot prove the existence of these objects earlier. It only says now that they existed earlier. The earlier period is not existing now and how can one come to a conclusion. The clouds have passed never to return. But thoughts say they are there and you as a man think it is true which again is a thought. Events and objects are only thought based which cannot be proved. There is no such thing existing as a separate entity as yesterday, today and tomorrow. Your today is a separate event if not concerned with memory. Every today is a new today. The ego is committing a great blunder by giving a false links to so called past events. As a matter of reality there never existed any yesterdays. What were you yesterday? It was again a continuation of another non existing yesterday. This is how your thoughts through senses take you for a ride which you never under took.
Your tomorrow is also a great funny thing. These are fakes dreamt by the mind as true continuous objects when mind itself is false. The components of the mind is only Consciousness and all the rest appearing in the mind is absolutely false. In fact you cannot prove your existence yesterday. What are you talking about last century? Can you prove it. You may dig a pit today, now, and show something and say it existed from Precambrian era. All your eras or Yugas cannot be proved. These are falsities appearing for the mind as true and this mind itself is untrue because it disappears suddenly which you call sleep. Therefore, no event or objects can be proved at any part of time. They are false appearing as an illusory reality.
Love and thoughts
Love is constant. Only the thoughts create reactionary thoughts leading to emotions of hatred etc. and it covers or hides love like magic. The real which is love is you is covered by several masks appearing emotions of various nature. As love is not thought oriented, it cannot over come thoughts which covers it like a diamond covered by a dirty cloth. Love is true and the mask covering it is false as it is based on thoughts. This thoughts are not the product of the so called ‘You’ or ‘I’. They have come from outside and do not belong either to the false ‘you’ or ‘I’. If the false you or I becomes real I the love is experienced without any conditioned thoughts hiding it.
Sleep does not exist in dream
Sleep does not exist in dream. Dream does not exist in waking. Waking does not exist in sleep, Then what is existing? If you enquire deeply, you will find these things appear and disappear on consciousness. They are false states appearing in Consciousness . One is conscious of these states except sleep which one says he had felt it or became conscious of it in waking state. Therefore, Consciousness alone exists in all these states and without it man does not exist at all. The irony is man gives prominence to these false states and does not recognize the permanent existence of Consciousness.
Nothing belongs to you
If it is considered that every thing are real including your body, then that real is created only by mind and not you something appearing as real. It is the product of only the mind which is Universal. If it is considered that every thing as illusion then those illusions appear only from ‘what is’ which is Consciousness. Nothing is ever created by the so called you either as body or thoughts.
Gift of Existence
Your experiencing dream is false in waking state. Your experiencing waking state is false in sleep as you don’t know any thing of your waking state. Your experiencing sleep not in sleep and say it only in waking state. Therefore, sleep is also false. That is when you are in one state the other states are false. In such a condition how can you come to a conclusion that a particular state is true. This you will know when you are conscious of sleep also which is nothing ness. But the Consciousness continues in all these three states otherwise you will not know these states. But the pity is you are identifying yourself only with the waking state and not aware of Consciousness. On both sides of sleep wakefulness is present or in other words it may be said that sleep develops into dream and waking states. Now understand that your dream and wakefulness is the product of nothingness which is sleep. All these appear as some thing as objects are just illusions appearing on the background of Consciousness. They are false and untrue appearing as real. In sleep nothing is known is also false but the sleep is known in the next state which is waking. You come to know sleep consists of nothing in
waking state. Similarly you don’t come to know the waking state in dream. Therefore, no state is known to you in that state. Therefore, these states are false.
Now tell me what are you and existing in which state? Now do you understand that you are nothing but Consciousness which you cannot explain. This unexplainable thing is the real You. All the rest appearing as subject and object are only dreams of the mind and there is no reality in them. Mind appears and disappears creating illusions and you as a person is also an illusion get submerged in all these illusions or dreams. An illusion within an illusion or a dream within dream or an imagination within imagination. You are just a living no thing. All the rest do not exist but appears to exist. You are caught in this illusion. To know and understand this itself is the greatest gift from Existence.
Consciousness is only a Catalyst unaffected
Without this catalyst the Universe is nowhere and nothing. A blankness. With this catalyst alone mind with energy produces matter. With this catalyst alone energy with matter produce forms. Here the mind becomes a catalyst.
With energy as catalyst matter and forms produce myriad of objects as galaxies and stars. With galaxy as catalyst stars with matter forms planets. Planet as catalyst earth with atoms form the whole life on earth (here earth is also atoms). Life as catalyst man and woman form (or produce) children. Now what is happening is man/woman is trying the catalyst to produce something which is not possible. At every stage the product becomes a catalyst. This is the beauty of Existence. The product’s presence (as catalyst) helps in further production which you call evolution. In all these production stages the catalyst is always present with different names and only the name loses its identity with the catalyst. This loss of identity happens only by another product called thoughts. A catalyst who does not act by itself loses its identity with a name. Now who is responsible for this wrong identification? Conditioned thoughts called as ego. If this is understood by ego, certainly it will know it is the catalyst. After this what? It remains as a catalyst for usefulness to happen. In plain words when man/woman realizes him/herself, whatever happens around them should be wonderful but other products prevent this to happen because they fail to remain as catalyst. A catalyst is the one which activates the reaction without undergoing any change in itself. What to do, except to remain as a silent witness, as a catalyst. Can you become a catalyst for good deeds?
Self inquiry is true knowledge
The end of sleep is dream. The end of dream is waking. The end of waking is sleep. This is a circle going on endlessly. But this cycle goes on within Consciousness. With out this Consciousness you cannot have any knowledge of this cycle. This cycle is an illusion appearing on or in Consciousness. But you know this cycle and not Consciousness though you are conscious. In all this cycle of states the Consciousness is present or existing as a background like a cinema screen or the TV picture tube.
Sleep is false or not experienced in dream. Dream is false or it is not experienced in waking. Therefore, what is the state of waking? It should naturally be false as it follows a falsehood. This waking is not experienced in sleep. Any thing not experienced is false. It is some thing like saying I know a car but I had not seen it. This is the same nonsense you are talking about love and god when both could be experienced. But you don’t care to know it. What to do with you? Put you in the Bay of Bengal.
You go on telling I slept, I dreamt and I am awake. Who is telling this? Naturally one who had experienced them. Therefore, only the experience should be taken into account and not the thing that have been experienced. Experiencing alone is there without an experiencer. Can this experience take place without consciousness. Each state flows into another at a very rapid speed.
It is a flow. The flow of Tao. None of these states exist simultaneously. If dream is experienced in waking one can say the waking state is the experiencer. Similarly if the waking state is experienced in sleep the experiencer should be the state of waking alone and not any one as a person. But it is not so. The ego or thoughts go on repeating this not knowing it. No state either sleep or dream or waking experiences the previous state. Only a thought says it. But does the thought know it by itself without consciousness? No. This is the beauty of life. A secret unexplainable by philosophy or logic or rationalism or science etc. Just know this mystery of life and enjoy it and don’t start dissecting it into pieces. You will never come to know whatever your academic qualifications are. But the thoughts are converting this into a tragedy.
If there is no thought which can say or talk about these states. Consciousness is alone present in all these changing states. You are not these changing states. You are the knower of these states and not the states. (Can you understand this?) You are knowing these states due to consciousness. This knowing is Consciousness which you cannot explain. If you say one is conscious of these states, is the state important or the consciousness of these states. Answer this question. The proof of pudding is in the eating and not in the pudding.
The knowledge of these states is known only because of Consciousness. Therefore, know that you are Consciousness and not these changing states which appear and disappear like the rain coming and stopping. Why don’t you say why the rain stopped? The ego does the cheating business. Unless the ego is thoroughly examined by awareness this false knowledge will go on endlessly.
One has to get rid of this false knowledge by a thorough inquiry by not accepting what one heard or read. The eye sees something and not the other parts of the body. Then how do you say I am seeing. Is the eye you? Is the whole body is aware of this seeing? But you say ‘I am seeing’. Here who is this ‘I’? The eye or I? Don’t allow the ego to chatter as thoughts utter all falsehood. Be aware of the ego. You will find this chap missing. The thoughts take you for a joy or painful ride to hell if there is any such hell. Examine each and every thought as it arises. You will be shocked to find that they also disappear.
So when one goes on blabbering about himself not knowing , is utter nonsense. Come out of these falsities and try to know your true self. Once you start this journey you will suddenly find help coming to you from all directions of Existence.
The Great drama
Consciousness alone exists. A shadow of itself which is not produced by it appears as mind which is energy. The shadow imagines it is a separate entity and goes on creating further dreams or imaginations as world, man etc. The man is an imagination of this shadow which itself is not real. This shadow makes its own imaginary man and starts another illusion of feeling by creating another shadow as man and views through that man its own imaginations of objects. See this beauty, though illusions like a cinema or a TV show. This show is the ego comprising of thoughts which are illusory. This ego is nothing but several imaginations which are thoughts. From the shadow to thoughts nowhere reality exists. Don’t think I am rejecting the world like a Cynic. No. I am just asking you to see the beauty of it without getting attached to anything .See everything as beauty.
This ego, a bundle of thoughts, produces several other imaginations which are the science, history, philosophy etc. Therefore, the world is just a projection of mind itself as an object just like the telecast of some TV show or the projection of a cinema show. The mind projects itself as cosmos and to experience its own imaginations it starts imagining a perceiver who is the man. This perception happens through senses and emotions. In reality whatever is seen is the shadow of shadow of shadow and goes on endlessly through its own projection as energy. This whole complexities are false. The shadow of Consciousness is just illusory. But the shadow presumes it as real and separate entities through thoughts.
Whatever that arises out of this presumption are mere illusions appearing as real to the mind which is not even a shadow but only Consciousness. If the mind comes to know this truth then the whole drama changes from reality to a mere show to be only enjoyed without any seriousness. Just like going to a cinema show and coming back home. This home is the Consciousness which several religions call as heaven. You are just now in heaven and make it a hell by your idiotic thoughts.
You cannot act by yourself as man
Man is a presumption or imagination or dream by a shadow called mind acting through energy. But this imaginary man which is a body cannot act by itself .Therefore, to make it act, man is made to imagine several things through thoughts which are illusions like air. It will create an effect but it cannot be seen. Because the seer itself does not exist. It is a projection of mind which itself does not exist as real as it is only an illusory shadow of the real which is Consciousness.
Generally people are superficially seeing everything which are the imaginary product of a shadow called mind appearing as real to another illusory ego which is the false ‘I’. In reality whatever that appears as subject and object are mere dreams of the mind based on itself as
the illusory shadow of the real. The real does not take part in all these so called falsities as actions and reactions arising out of thoughts because the real cannot be the cause of dissimilarities appearing just now. The religions throw the blame on something called as god and indulges in rituals to shadows of shadows of shadows.
Basically every such illusion is unaware of this Consciousness because the component of the shadow is only Consciousness just like waves of ocean. These waves are only water but its form is false though it is seen as a form of something called wave. Is this seeing true? Man as an imagination of the mind is also part and parcel of Consciousness. But one cannot hold the Consciousness responsible for such illusions. If so a murder gets justified. A rape gets justified. A theft gets justified. There is no need for law or Government or people. All this suffering happens because the ego as thoughts goes on its own track not knowing its original nature. Spiritualism is only for this knowing. Without this knowing you cannot act by yourself.
The one who knows this truth becomes aware of this falsities. This is the Realization that everything is Consciousness appearing as false subjects and objects due to a false shadow called mind and energy. The mind is a one whole lot of a shadow, manifesting in all its imaginations as thoughts etc. and you cannot separate the mind into pieces and say my mind and your mind. It is one whole – The Universal mind, even at atomic stage. Because even at sub atomic state the knowing of or the knowledge of protons, electrons, neutrons etc. exists. So it cannot be said matter as wood does not know itself. Man does not know but a supposedly dead wood knows itself as an unrecognized thing but cannot express it because it is not capable of learning a language. But remember communications inside goes on at a rapid speed just like communications goes on from your lung to the brain. All electromagnetic waves which is energy and which is the shadow of the mind.
Hunger
Though the waking state is a passing thing, the mind wants to continue its experiences with a body and the body requires energy for this purpose and therefore hunger happens. The disappearance of hunger is energetic state for actions and reactions. This state alone creates the false experiences of energy which is nothing and makes it appear as objective world etc. Though this is also a passing state, as long as the body remains the hunger continues. With continuous hunger thoughts stop and nothing is cognized and finally the body will disintegrate into its basic elements.
Desires and religion
Your desire is not to die. Your desire is not to fall sick. Your desire is to get more money. Your desire is to see that only your family members are well placed and you never bother about the world or others. This is the reason why you practice religion. You follow a religion only for this purpose. Your visit to religious places and meeting the heads of such places is only to get your desires fulfilled. You never wanted to know about yourself. You never
wanted to know what is birth and death. You never wanted to know why you came into this world.
All these desires are based on the outer, the world, objects and people. You see thousands die without fulfilling all these desires. But yet you go on doing it mechanically. Your religious practices are only mechanical. The cunning people use religion for their own benefit and fleece you without your knowledge. When sufficient fame and wealth accumulate, this cunning people put up a show of helping others by guaranteeing them something and you fall a prey to it. The help which is mainly feeding and influencing the powerful people with the intention of getting some benefit for you and for them in order to make you a slave to them forever. They indulge in magic which appears to you as a miracle. Even if he dies, you go on worshiping him thinking that by doing so your desires will be fulfilled.
You never thought of acquiring real knowledge. Very seldom you come across a man with true knowledge. But you refuse to accept this man and ask him about truth. Your aim is absolute selfishness. You get caught in this cunningness of the so called gurus. None of them know anything about truth and they only exploit you. The one who knows himself keeps silent without publicity. You don’t care to search for such a man. For you he may look like a beggar. You outright reject him. You are lured by his pomps and sophistication and luxury.
You don’t want to know anything about yourself taught to you by a self realized one. Forget about the teachings about the world, ethics and morals. He cannot talk about how to fulfill your desires. He can only talk about knowing your true self. But you don’t want to know. You say I know all about myself and in fact you don’t. You want to impress others with your wealth and fame.
What a sad ignorant man you are? Is it possible for you to wake up from your slumber of deception of your past and future which are false. Are you willing to look at the present moment. No. Certainly not.
You don’t know things happen in your so called life automatically. You think it happened due to your rituals. Who can save you except yourself. You will only be exploited by the
religious cunning people without your knowledge.
Intelligence
Spontaneous arising of thoughts is Intelligence. It is neither planning nor thinking. Thinking and planning is only on the basis of known or taught to us. It is based on borrowed knowledge with some additions or deletions. This addition and deletion is only based on what you have already known which is your knowledge. When thoughts stop Intelligence happens and you cannot find a reason for it. It simply flows as pure thoughts. All the rest are forced thoughts arising from a false ‘I’. This false I is made up of false knowledge and not Intelligence. But you go on telling that I am intelligent without knowing what intelligence is. Your concept is “you did it therefore I will do” is wrong. It is jumping from one’s present state to something not existing. It may be successful or not. If it is non successful one goes
on trying to achieve it. It may consume his whole life. If he is not successful he lives in sorrow of failures. This failure is also non existent. The so called life goes on with such failures. The so called materially successful man can never be happy. He may come across floating moment of pleasure and he thinks he is happy.
Intelligence is love and happiness. It arises from one’s own centre of being or his existence. He seeks it out side. It is always material or object based.
True knowledge is to know this Intelligence without a knower. There never existed a knower. If one wants to point out the knower, only the Existence can be pointed out. How can you point out Existence when the whole of it is Intelligence.
Who is there to know this truth as long as he is confined to a false centre of ego or false I. This falsity can never be Intelligence. It is full of dullness and deceitful. It is like thinking I am looking handsome better than any other cinema hero or heroine. This knowledge of handsomeness is also based on some others comment or in comparison to an outer object like a picture.
Everyone is happy and Intelligence flows in his inner core. But he does not know it. He is programmed to accept the false outer. The outer is the reflection of the inner which happens through the mind. Outer is just a projection on a screen like a cinema and not true. The screen is true in the sense that without it there can never be any projection made.
Happiness and Bliss or Anandam is your inner nature. You have been forced to cover it with ideas, concepts and imaginations which are thoughts not belonging to you. It came from outside and not from yourself. Whatever comes from the true You is what I call Intelligence. Your own nature. You are just using the same thoughts and dreams of a future or tomorrow which never existed. This is called ignorance. The ignorance here is not knowing yourself. You have been forced to allow a false I or ego to exist. You are only responsible for it and not others because you don’t know from where it all started and no one knows it.
Just now man is sleeping with his eyes wide open and dreaming of an outer world. This outer appears and disappears in your waking and sleeping states. In between it is only a dream of forms or objects created by mind and cognized through thoughts. Both are false as both appear and disappear. This appearance and disappearance is on a background or screen which is Consciousness. You are experiencing these falsities because of Consciousness. If you are unconscious you cannot experience. But you are experiencing without awareness. You are never aware of anything. Some time it happens and the awareness disappears due to your own ego. You are caught by fame and money. Without these you will find life as miserable. You will say that without it there is no meaning in life. But the question is, if so, why were you born. Birth has also no meaning for you.
False Time and the running ‘you’.
What is time? As far as we are concerned it is some thing shown by the clock or wrist watch. Other than that we don’t have time. If you are lonely without movement you will find time moving slowly. On the other hand if you are in action either physical or in conversation with some one you will find time moving faster. If that conversation is with a person whom you do not like, you will find time moving slowly. Time cannot be separated from movement. If there is no movement, there is no time and you will feel time has not moved. If you are very active with a hundred and one work, you will find time moving faster even without looking at your wrist watch. This is an illusion. It appears to move or becomes stagnant in relation to your activities. For activities you require space. Therefore, time is in space. Both are inseparable. If there is no movement for you, you will find time missing or you feel it is moving slowly even without looking at a watch or clock. Therefore, time as a single event, a separate event is false. We see people running fighting for time. Why this running? Can you beat time? If your actions are measured not on the basis of thought you will find things actions taking shape in an acceptable way. There is no running or hurry. Now, in the present, this running has increased many folds making you do slip shod work. When somebody finds fault with you, you feel miserable. Therefore, man starts working by the clock. Is he a machine to do this? Why this hurry? One has to find out. This is one of the major causes for your ailment. You are punishing the body. Because your thoughts are money oriented. Cannot you do some thing just for the love of doing. You may say ‘How can I do something for the love of it. I do every thing for money’. Under such circumstance what sort of family life you will be leading. Can there be love in your family life? (I am splitting life here wantonly) You become a machine without your knowledge. Money is making you run, run and run. Are you controlling money or the money is controlling you? Just think. Why do you run? You may say ‘To achieve some thing’. This achievement is on what basis? Is it for the goodness of every one or just for yourself?
You have become absolutely a self centered man. Selfish man. Why? Because you want to compete with others. For what? Money and fame. Do you know more than 95% of the people are not like this. You will find an artist or a musician or a creative person don’t run to finish anything in such a great hurry. Creativity means no time. But in the present world you work within a time frame. This time is bogus, false. Your time bound action will only lead to chaos and complications. You may say that others are doing it, therefore, I am also doing it. Are you others? How do you make this comparison and on what basis? Have you ever thought of it? You are fighting against a non existent time. Can you understand this simple thing. The tree grows on its own. The child grows on its own. But you suddenly want to become a big mountain. Why don’t you want to become suddenly old? Why don’t you want your child suddenly to grow into a man/woman? Can this happen? But yet you run. Are you mad or some thing. You need money for your basic requirement and you run after luxury. This basic requirement will not make you run. Have you visited any village or a slum in your town? If you have, you will find people don’t fight with a non existent time.
Life can be enjoyed in leisure. A leisurely life can make you happy. But you say I am getting bored and I want to run. Who can save you except yourself. The pity is you don’t know
yourself and you are just a copy cat always running for nothing, running after illusions. All such foolish acts will stop and you will become calm if you start knowing yourself. Is it you who is doing this or your thoughts or your so called mind. If you are a little prudent you will say that it is the thoughts which is doing it. Are you thoughts or some thing more than that. I leave it to you to find out. Stop this nonsense and realize love in you, in your family and every thing. Love is not time. Love is not thought. But you are operating with time and thought and lead a miserable life. OK, keep on running to make the distance short to your own grave. Fine. This is what you have learnt in life, to run to the grave.
The grave is attracting you better hurry up.
You are not what you are
You are a cow. You will have to share your milk with others. But you have covered yourself with a dead tiger skin and pretend to be a tiger bouncing on anything and acquiring for your own purpose and not sharing. May be you are forced to give a little bit to your own family. You are compelled to do this by your upbringing. Just a moment here. What is this upbringing? Is it some thing other than thoughts? You don’t realize all your siblings will be leaving you one day and run away. Why you yourself is going to disappear one day. How did you come to this state? Let us go through it.
Do you know your birth? Certainly not. Some two idiots told you were born to them. You have accepted it but you don’t know. Similarly do you know your death? Can you know? Certainly not. Therefore, I will give a mark for you here. You don’t know your birth therefore, your mark is zero. You don’t know your death, therefore, you mark is zero. Between these two zeros some things happen which you say you know. How? I am talking logically and mathematically. You answer this question and don’t run away. Are you not simply copying others? Are you not conditioned to be like others? Can there be others without you? No. If you are not there, others are not there. That is if you don’t exist others don’t exist for you. Then why are you bothered about others? You always want to evaluate yourself by their comments. Why? Can you evaluate yourself without the comments of others? No certainly not. You depend on others to know yourself. Others should say ‘Hey you are rich. You are beautiful. You are good’. If the others are not there you as good as dead.
By copying others or living in comparison don’t you know you have covered yourself with a tiger skin when your nature is not so. You are creating a falsity. A false life to be recognized by others. Are you living for others or yourself? I am very serious here. Touch your heart and tell me are you not living for others? Yes. You are, because you don’t know yourself. You are between two big zeros which you call living and that too depending on the comments of others. Remember those others are also living between zeros. You may say I have developed a good personality with all this. Do you know the meaning of personality? The root word is persona. Sona means sound. Persona means a sound coming behind a mask. You have a thousand and one mask as father, uncle, friend, boss, servant, good, bad etc. The sound varies according to the mask you wear. When you talk to your servant you have one mask. When you talk to your boss you have another mask. Your servant cannot call you a
fool but your boss can call you so. Understand that they are only reacting to the mask you wear and not something behind it. You remove the mask of servant, you can call your Boss as fool. Are you the mask or something else? Are you the dead tiger skin or something else? What is this something? This something is knowing what these two zeros are and what is in between. Can you try to know the truth of these two zeros?
Witness and Time
Time is an illusory memory of an illusory past. The present is only Consciousness in which these illusions appear and disappear at a rapid speed making it look real to the mind. A cinema film consists of still pictures in several frames. Each frame is a still picture. When it moves at the rate of 24 frames per second and projected on a screen, these still pictures create an illusion of movement on the screen.
The same thing happens now but instead of the still pictures the mind sees Consciousness as objects by projecting itself on Consciousness at an unimaginable speed of 300000×300000 of illusory frames per second which appear as the world, sun and stars and the mind perceives it as three dimensional objects. Remember it is not you who is the seer. Man is a tiny spec of this projection.
The truth is this illusory mind, its projection of cosmos, world and man etc. are nothing but Consciousness which is formless but perceived by mind as real as objects.
Man as body gets submerged into this non existing illusion and the mind requires thoughts to cognize these objects and the ego as ‘I’ presumes that everything is real. When wisdom dawns on him, he comes to know this truth and becomes a witness to all such illusory events caused by illusory objects. The mind (not man) knows that there is no reality in it and only enjoys its own beauty not reacting to any thing. There is nothing to react when thoughts disappear or comes to know of its original nature which is Consciousness just like the cotton thread coming to know that it is only cotton with a form. This form does not alter the contents of the thread.
Without this Consciousness one cannot perceive any thing. All such perceptions are like a cinema or a TV show seen on a screen of TV tube. The appearance and disappearance of the TV show is exactly equal to a cinema show. Both the projections happen through electromagnetic waves and light.
In cinema it is light waves and in TV it is electromagnetic waves producing movements of light and shadow. Every visual is nothing but the interplay of light and shadow caused by mind. A picture or a scene has no permanency in both cinema and TV. Even a photograph is the same. A scene shot and projected is only an illusion of movement but perceived temporarily as real by the thoughts which makes the body laugh and cry. In fact nothing was seen and no photo was taken. (can you follow this?).
The perception of your hand holding a photo is an illusion. Man gives room to presumptions of thoughts to over take his movement to his non awareness. If he is aware of thoughts, this presumption will not arise and lead to reaction creating chaos. This chaotic condition leads to his own misery.
Time in relation to objectivity
Time is false. It does not exist except chronological time which is your watch time or as shown by your clock. It is an illusion of mind through another illusion called energy which creates another illusion as matter. Man is stuck in this illusory time from where every thing appears as series of events. These so called events are non continuous. When the mind disappears in deep sleep all these so called events are wiped out or disappear. Again when the mind arises, say in the morning, what happens is new events appear to arise which has no continuity with the past. But the mind creates another illusion called memory and gives an illusory continuity of the past with the present. In reality there is no such thing called past. Every thing is here in the ‘now’ or the present moment. Moment to moment everything is new and always the beginning.
There were no yesterdays and no tomorrows. Yesterday is an illusory memory and tomorrow is an illusion or dream of the mind at this moment. The present illusory events are false because the mind sees the present as an event or perceives it as an event. The present or now is consciousness which is always the beginning without an end. An endless beginning like a circle.
When wisdom dawns upon the false entity called man, the whole falsity or illusion is discovered or revealed. Then the identity of the man who was considering himself as a separate entity is lost. He becomes part of the whole as long as the body is there but knows the whole in a state of Samadhi. If the body happens to drop at this state he merges with the whole but ignorant people say that he died.
This illusory appearance and disappearance of mind along with its perception of objects appears to happen at a rapid speed and gives a false permanency of objects including the man who is called by an illusory thought as ‘I’. This false thought creates another false thought which perceives nothing as You and He, this and that. False divisions are created perceived by thoughts as real.
In fact nobody is ever born or nobody has ever died.
Knowledge
What man says as knowledge is false. It is the knowledge about the outer appearing as objects created as an illusion by the mind projecting itself as objects. Therefore, the knowledge of the mind of itself as object is what man calls as his own knowledge not knowing that he is an instrument of the mind through which the mind indulges in a wrong perception. The mind gets the false knowledge of itself through this instrument called man.
This knowledge which is about the outer world is called intellect. The mind comes to know that the outer objects are nothing but its own wrong reflection of Consciousness as objects. It discovers its pure knowledge of “What is” or Consciousness and discovers that the subject and object are one and the same. The moment this true knowledge dawns on itself the division as I and You and this and that disappears. The mind starts seeing itself as objects fully aware of itself as Consciousness. It discovers that the seer is seen. This is the great true knowledge. With this true knowledge all the false knowledge disappears. The separation of I and You disappear. I am you and you are me. The seer is the seen. The mind starts going inwards which is the inner world. When it fully knows the inner it comes to know the outer is only the projection of the inner or the outer is the shadow of the inner caused by itself. It also comes to know the inter and outer or the same. In other words material and nonmaterial are one and the same. It leads the thoughts to realize that the you and I are the same. Thoughts as ego will revolt at the beginning but slowly the ego also comes to know its original nature which is Consciousness and merges with the mind and at this stage the mind is Universal mind cleared of all the rubbish covered on itself by the ego for no fault of mind. Instead of the thoughts as ego having an upper hand becomes now a servant and submits itself to be used by the mind. At this level whatever the mind does will be in accordance with Intelligence and not intellect. Intellect stops here. The mind and intelligence becomes one. Because there is no division. Slowly this oneness of mind and intelligence also merges with its source being Consciousness. It is not a real merger. This merger means that the mind comes to know that it is only Consciousness and not a separate entity like the thread coming to know that it is only cotton. At this level the mind and thoughts come to know its origin or root which is Consciousness. Ego’s wrong perception of the body as an independent entity is realized. The body is nothing but Consciousness used by mind as an instrument for its own perception of objects. Here whatever is either outer or inner is realized only as
Consciousness. One wholeness of Consciousness. At this stage or level whatever is there as objects is known only as Consciousness and not separate objects such as I, you, this, it and that. All such divisions disappear. Just like you cannot split sun light as this sun light and that sun light. Only one wholeness of light is realized which is Consciousness. All this, that etc. become one wholeness. It cannot be said it is one but certainly not two and cannot be expressed by words. It can at most be said as Am ness and I am ness ceases. The separation of I as first person is lost. Only one enormity exists. This is the state when the so called man realizes this enormity while all these days he was considering himself as a tiny speck in the cosmos. Here the man means the ego. In this reality there is nothing called man or woman. The distinction and the division of separateness is realized. But as long as the body as an instrument remains the division is recognized and realized as one.
You and I are there but without division. This instrument in due course looses its shape and merges into what is and it is wrongly said as death by a similar ego with its own thoughts. In reality nothing is born and nothing dies. Maximum it can be said that an illusion of form appeared and disappeared into itself. Am ness alone exists as pure Consciousness.
Forgiveness and compassion.
Anger is nothing but a spontaneous reaction to a preconceived thought. This reaction is due to rejection of views of others. In anger there is no proper perception and leads to wrong actions causing misery. The anger itself is a by product of ego with a pre conceived notion of itself and anything said against it leads to a repulsion which is anger. I say you, just listen and keep silent and watch the reaction of your own thoughts and how it develops into anger by creating an emotion. A thought becoming an emotion has to be understood and watched. Don’t straight away reject views of others. Just listen and watch your reactionary thoughts. No question of rejection or acceptance. No one is compelling you to accept. Just hear. Expression of a view is a thought which is creating another reactionary thought in others. If one is strong, it will lead to violence. To curry favours the meek ones go against his own thoughts where the thoughts don’t evolve as emotion as anger. Why it is evolving into anger in you is due to the fact that you think you are stronger. One who does not repel is accepted as obedient person to whom any work can be entrusted or who could be used. Meek followers of power and money jumping to get material benefits even if it is murder. The present day politics is like this.
The society comprises of such persons. Absolutely ignorant not knowing anything about forgiveness and compassion. When there is no compassion there is violence for getting monetary benefits and acquire fame.
A father does not say to a child that he is stronger. But the child will say that his father is stronger than other fathers in the world and start fighting with other children. It is at that state the child should be taught forgiveness which is acceptance. Compassion will automatically follow. But the parents do not explain forgiveness. After all the child is going to forget the whole incident the next moment. People do not allow the child to forget events. They keep on pouring oil into fire. The child grows to become violent and start dominating others. Will it know that the domination leads to violence.
Justice is rendered by intelligence. It is not punishment. It is forgiveness. But man wants punishments. The wrong doer does not know that he did some thing wrong. If he plans and does it, even then it is out of his own ignorance not knowing a punishment awaits. For cunningness and deliberate wrong doing there is punishment. It is not rendered out of compassion. It becomes a tit for tat. The law is tit for tat. There is no compassion in law.The greatest virtue is forgiveness.
Tit for tat is violence. Jesus saying ‘show your other cheek’ means forgiveness arising out of compassion and not to show your other cheek for getting another slap. Man is full of violence. Animalistic attitude like “He over took my car and I should over take his car”. Education teaches only competition, the over taking process. ‘You over took me in this exam and I will over take you in the next exam. This is competition and the present day education. Always be prepared to over take others, otherwise they will over take you. This leads to tension and stress. But nothing achieved. May be a little material benefit.
Competition leads to violence. Ultimately it leads to jealousy and may end in fights and killings. One ego killing the other ego for nothing. Man does not know that he is only an ego. An embodiment of acquired thoughts of nobody. In forgiveness the stronger though appearing as meek, in effect, he becomes much more stronger.
False thoughts
Ignorance uses corrupt thoughts which are acquired and expresses it as words through the mouth. True knowledge clears these thoughts of its own illusion. This knowledge is nothing but awareness to the facts of reality which does not allow the falsity. This gradually leads to realize one’s own folly. When all such corrupt thoughts based on falsity is cleared, thoughts become pure and leads to a pure mind which is always pure and only the screen hiding the purity of the mind is removed. In its pureness mind is nothing but Consciousness. When this is known and realized Self Realization happens. It is a gift from Existence.
Is one willing to receive this wonderful gift by simply listening to the one who is realized. But one is not willing to listen and always goes on comparing with what he knows. He is absolutely unaware of the illusion of his own thoughts. In the present world every thought is oriented on monetary value. As long as the thoughts are allowed to function due to non awareness, whatever one does will lead to chaos and complications.
