HOW DOES THE MEDITATION WORK?

 

              

                            WHAT DOES THIS 

                                  MEDITATION DO?

                                                            👀👀

                            

                          

                 👉

                        ANS : THIS KRIYA WILL CREATE A CERTAIN SPACE BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR BODY, BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR MIND. IF AT ALL THERE IS ANY STRUGGLE IN YOUR LIFE, IT IS BECAUSE YOU IDENTIFY YOURSELF WITH THESE LIMITED ASPECTS YOURSELF.

                     SO THE ESSENSE OF MEDITATION IS THAT IT CREATES A SPACE, A DISTANCE BETWEEN YOU AND WHAT YOU REFER TO AS YOUR "MIND". ALL THE SUFFERING YOU GO THROUGH IS MANUFACTURED IN YOUR MIND, ISN'T IT SO? IF YOU DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM THE MIND, CAN THERE BE SUFFERING IN YOU? THIS IS THE END OF SUFFERING.

                   👉

                     NOW WHILE YOU ARE MEDITATING, THERE IS A DISTANCE BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR MIND, AND YOU DO FEEL PEACEFUL. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE MOMENT YOU OPEN YOUR EYES, YOU ARE AGAIN STUCK WITH YOUR MIND.

                  IF YOU MEDITATE EVERY DAY, A DAY WILL COME WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR EYES, AND YOU CAN STILL EXPERIENCE THAT THE MIND IS THERE AND YOU ARE HERE. THIS IS THE END OF SUFFERING. WHEN YOU ARE LO LONGER IDENTIFIED WITH YOUR BODY AND MIND, YOU WILL BE IN TOUCH WITH THE SOURCE OF CREATION WITHIN YOU. ONCE THIS HAPPENS, GRACE HAPPENS.

                        👉

                    WHETHER YOU ARE HERE, OR BEYOND, THIS IS THE END OF SUFFERING. THAT MEANS YOUR WHOLE KARMIC BAG- YOUR PAST, OR YOUR UNCONSCIOUS MIND HAS BEEN KEPT ASIDE. IT CANNOT HAVE ANY INFLUENCE OVER YOU. ONCE THE PAST HAS NO INFLUENCE OVER YOU, THEN LIFE BECOMES A HUGE POTENTIAL. EVERY BREATH BECOMES SUCH A TREMENDOUS POSSIBILITY IN YOUR LIFE, BECAUSE THE PAST IS NOT PLAYING ANY ROLE IN YOUR EXISTENCE HERE NOW. IF YOU SIT HERE, YOU ARE ABSOLUTE LIFE. LIFE BECOMES EFFORTLESS.

                  WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BREATH?

                                                        ❤❤

                      👉

                  ANS : BREATH IS THE THREAD WHICH TIES YOU TO THE BODY. IF I TAKE AWAY YOUR BREATH, YOUR BODY WILL FALL APART. IT IS THE BREATH THAT HAS TIED YOU TO THE BODY. WHAT YOU CALL AS YOUR BODY AND WHAT YOU CALL AS "ME" HAVE BEEN TIED TOGETHER WITH BREATH. AND THIS BREATH DECIDES MANY ASPECTS OF WHO YOU ARE RIGHT NOW. FOR DIFFERENT LEVELS OF THOUGHT AND EMOTION THAT YOU GO THROUGH, YOUR BREATH TAKES ON DIFFERENT TYPES OF PATTERNS. IF YOU ARE ANGRY YOU WILL BE BREATHING ONE WAY. YOU ARE PEACEFUL, YOU BREATHE ANOTHER WAY. YOU ARE HAPPY, YOU BREATHE ANOTHER WAY. YOU ARE SAD, YOU WILL BREATHE ANOTHER WAY. HAVE YOU NOTICED THIS?

                           WHAT EFFECT DOES UTTERING THE SOUND 'AAA" 

                             HAVE ON ME?

                                                              ❤❤

                    👉

                  ANS : WHEN YOU UTTER THE SOUND "AAA" THE MAINTENANCE CENTER IN YOUR BODY GETS ACTIVATED. THIS IS MANIPURAKA CHAKRA, OR THE NAVEL CENTER. WHEN YOU WERE IN YOUR MOTHER'S WOMB, THE "MAINTANANCE" PIPE WAS CONNECTED THERE. NOW THE TUBE IS GONE, BUT THE MAINTANANCE CENTER IS STILL IN YOUR NAVEL.

                     NOW AS THERE IS A PHYSICAL BODY, THERE IS A WHOLE ENERGY BODY THAT WE GENERALLY REFER TO AS EITHER PRANA OR SHAKTI. THIS ENERGY, OR PRANA, FLOWS THROUGH THE BODY IN CERTAIN ESTABLISHED PATTERNS, IT IS NOT MOVING RANDOMLY. THERE ARE 72000 DIFFERENT WAYS IN WHICH IT MOVES. IN OTHER WORDS, THERE ARE 72000 PATHWAYS IN THE SYSTEM THROUGH WHICH IT IS FLOWING. SO NADIS ARE PATHWAYS OR CHANNELS IN THE SYSTEM. THEY DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION, IF YOU CUT THE BODY AND LOOK INSIDE, YOU WILL NOTICE THE ENERGY IS NOT MOVING AT RANDOM, IT IS MOVING IN ESTABLISHED PATHWAYS.

 

                   WHEN YOU UTTER THE SOUND "AAA" YOU WILL SEE THE REVERBERATION WILL START ABOUT THREE-FOURTHS OF AN INCH BELOW THE NAVEL AND SPREAD RIGHT ACROSS THE BODY. SOUND "AAA" IS THE ONLY REVERBERATION WHICH SPREADS RIGHT ACROSS THE BODY BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE WHERE THE 72000, NADIS MEET AND REDISTRIBUTE THEMSELVES. THIS IS THE ONLY POINT IN THE BODY LIKE THAT. IF YOU UTTER THE SOUND "AAA" THE REVERBERATIONS OF THIS SOUND ARE CARRIED RIGHT ACROSS THE SYSTEM.

                 THIS REVERBERATION CAN ASSIST GREATLY IN ENERGIZING YOUR MAINTENANCE CENTER. ACTIVATING THIS CENTER WILL BRING HEALTH, DYNAMISM, PROSPERITY AND WELLBEING.

THE MEANING OF YOU!

 

                                THE MAN MARK OF YOU

                                          WHO ARE YOU?

                         ❤❤

      

                  THE WORLD IS RUNNING SO SMOOTHLY AND SO BEAUTIFULLY AND SO PERFECTLY, BUT BECAUSE WE THINK WE ARE SEPERATE FROM IT THE PROBLEM ARISES. HOW TO RUN OUR LIVES? IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE PART OF IT, THERE IS NO NEED TO WORRY. THIS COSMOS, SUCH AN INFINITE COSMOS, RUNNING SO PERFECTLY WELL-CAN'T YOU REMAIN IN IT WITHOUT ANY WORRY? BUT THE SEPARATION IS THERE.

                       YOU HAVE TAKEN ONE THING FOR GRANTED, THAT YOU ARE SEPARATE. GOING DEEP INSIDE, THAT SEPARATION DISAPPEARS.

                   ❤❤

                      THAT IS THE MEANING WHEN I SAY, EGOLESSNESS ARISES. EGO MEANS SEPARATION. EGO MEANS " I AM SEPARATE FROM THE WHOLE". EGO MEANS THE PART IS CLAIMING TO BE  THE WHOLE IN ITS OWN RIGHT. EGO MEANS THE PART IS CLAIMING, "I HAVE MY OWN CENTER AND I HAVE TO SURVIVE AND FIGHT AND STRUGGLE FOR MYSELF. IF I DON'T FIGHT FOR MYSELF , WHO IS GOING TO FIGHT FOR ME? IF DON'T TRY TO SURVIVE, I WILL BE KILLED".

                     INSECURITY ARISES BECAUSE OF THE EGO. WHEN THE EGO IS GONE THERE IS SIMPLY SECURITY. IN FACT, THERE IS NO INSECURITY AND NO SECURITY, ALL THOSE DUALITIES HAVE DISAPPEARED. TO LIVE IN THAT IS TO LIVE NIRVANA, IS TO LIVE ENLIGHTENMENT.

                                      WHEN THEY ASK YOU,

                               WHERE IS YOUR COUNTRY?

                                     WHAT IS YOU NATIVE PLACE? ANSWER,

                             I AM A MAN

                                      OF ORIGINAL INACTIVITY.

                      ❤❤

                      IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU WILL NOT BE DOING ANYTHING. FOR EXAMPLE, I AM SPEAKING THIS IS DOING. BUT STILL I SAY TO YOU. I AM NOT DOING IT, BECAUSE THERE IS NO DOER IN IT. SPEAKING IS HAPPENING JUST LIKE TREES ARE FLOWERING OR BIRDS ARE SINGING, JUST AS NEW LEAVES ARE COMING TO THE TREES.. SEEING YOU, SEEING YOUR QUESTIONS, NEW ANSWERS ARE COMING TO ME. OTHERWISE, THERE IS NOTHING IN MY MIND. IT IS A RESPONSE. YOU CALL ME, I RESPOND.

                    WHAT I AM SAYING TO YOU IS WHAT YOU HAVE PROVOKED IN ME. THERE IS OBODY SAYING IT. THERE IS NOBODY... WHILE I AM WALKING, THERE IS NOBODY WALKING. WHILE I AM EATING, THERE IS NOBODY EATING. EATING IS HAPPENING, WALKING IS HAPPENING,TALKING IS HAPPENING, LISTENING IS HAPPENING, BUT THERE IS NOBODY BEHIND IT. THERE IS PURE NOTHINGNESS, A MIRRORLIKE NOTHINGNESS. NOT THAT ACTIVITY DISAPPEARS, BUT THE DOER IS FOUND NO MORE.

                        BUDDHA DISAPPEARED, WHEN HE WAS FORTY. STILL HE LIVED UP TO EIGHTY-TWO YEARS-FORTY-TWO YEARS MORE HE LIVED. AND HE DID ALL KINDS OF THINGS, BUT THERE WAS NO DOER, IT WAS ALL NATURAL. "NATURAL" MEANS THAT WHICH HAPPENS OF ITS OWN ACCORD.

                          👉

                            THAT'S WHY ZEN PEOPLE SAY, ZEN YOU FEEL HUNGRY, EAT, AND WHEN YOU FEEL TIRED, SLEEP.

                                             RAIN, HAIL, SNOW AND ICE

                                                ARE DIVIDED FROM ONE ANOTHER,

                                                 SEARCHING, YOU WILL ENTER

                                             INTO YOUR OWN MIND.

                               👉

                                      WHEN THEY ASK YOU,

                                            WHERE IS YOUR COUNTRY?

                                        WHAT IS YOUR NATIVE PLACE? ANSWER

                                                  " I AM  A MAN

                                             OF ORIGINAL INACTIVITY".

                              👉

                                           THE FIGURE OF THE REAL MAN

                                                      STANDING THERE..

                                          JUST A GLIMPSE OF HIM,

                                                    AND WE ARE IN LOVE.

  

                                                     👀👀👀

                      MAN CAN LIVE IN TWO WAYS. THE NATURAL GREAT ATTRACTION IN IT BECAUSE IT IS NEW, UNFAMILIAR, ADVENTUROUS. HENCE, EVERY CHILD HAS TO LEAVE HIS NATURE AND GO INTO UN NATURE. NO CHILD CAN RESIST THAT TEMPTATION. TO RESIST THAT TEMPTATION IS IMPOSSIBLE. THE PARADISE HAS TO BE LOST. THE LOSING OF IT IS BUILD IN, IT CAN'T BE AVOIDED, IT IS INEVITABLE.

                 AND OF COURSE, ONLY MAN CAS LOST IT. THAT'S MAN'S ECSTASY AND AGONY, HIS PRIVILEGE, HIS FREEDOM AND HIS FALL.

                    ANIMAL STILL EXIST IN PARADISE, THEY NEVER LOSE IT. BUT BECAUSE THEY NEVER LOSE IT, THEY CAN'T BE AWARE OF IT. THEY CAN'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE. TO KNOW WHERE YOU ARE, YOU WILL HAVE TO LOSE IT FIRST. THAT'S HOW KNOWING BECOMES POSSIBLE BY LOSING.

                             ❤❤

                       YOU KNOW A THING ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE LOST IT. IF YOU HAVE NEVER LOST IT, IF IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE, YOU NATURALLY TAKE IT FOR GRANTED. IT BECOMES SO OBVIOUS THAT YOU BECOME OBLIVIOUS OF IT.

                       TREES ARE STILL IN PARADISE, AND THE MOUNTAINS AND THE STARS, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE. ONLY MAN CAN KNOW. A TREE CAN'T BECOME A BUDDHA NOT THAT THERE IS ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE INNER NATURE OF A BUDDHA AND A TREE, BUT A TREE CAN'T BECOME A BUDDHA. A TREE IS ALREADY A BUDDHA! TO BECOME A BUDDHA, THE TREE FIRST HAS TO LOSE ITS NATURE, IT HAS TO AWAY FROM IT.

                      YOU CAN ONLY SEE THINGS FROM A CERTAIN PERSPECTIVE. IF YOU ARE TOO CLOSE TO THEM, YOU CANNOT SEE THEM. WHAT BUDDHA HAS SEEN, NO TREE HAS EVER SEEN. IT IS AVAILABLE TO TREES AND TO ANIMALS, BUT ONLY BUDDHA BECOMES CONSCIOUS OF IT THE PARADISE IS REGAINED.

THE GOAL AND YOUR FLOW OF LIFE

 

                                  THE FIRST QUESTION 

                                                                              ❤❤

                      YOU SAID LIFE AND EXISTENCE HAVE NO GOAL, THEY ARE A PURPOSE UNTO THEMSELVES. OTHER MASTERS, FOR INSTANCE, SRI AUROBINDO, TEACH EVOLUTION AS THE AIM OF THE WORLD, EVOLUTION IN ALWAYS REACHING FOR STILL HIGHER LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS- FROM THE KINGDOM OF MINERALS TO THE KINGDOM OF VEGETABLES, ANIMALS, MAN, FROM PRESENT MAN TO ENLIGHTENED MAN.

                    ARE THESE TEACHINGS WRONG? OR IS THERE A BRIDGE TO PURPOSELESSNESS?

                      AT BODHI, SRI AUROBINDO IS A GREAT PHILOSOPHER BUT NOT A MASTER AT ALL. VERY INTELLIGENT, VERY SCHOLARLY, A GREAT INTELLECTUAL, BUT NOT AN ENLIGHTENED MASTER. HE TALKS ABOUT GOD AND TALKS BEAUTIFULL, BUT IT IS ALL TALK, IT IS ALL ABSTRACTION. IT IS NOT A REALISATION.

                     IF IT IS A REALIZATION, THEN THERE CAN'T BE ANY GOAL. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE WORLD HAS EVOLUTION AS THE GOAL, THEN WHAT WILL BE THE GOAL OF EVOLUTION? WHY EVOLUTION AT ALL? WHY IN THE FIRST PLACE? YOU WILL HVE TO CREATE ANOTHER ABSTRACTION, AND IT WILL BE A REGRESS AD INFINITUM.

                    WHATSOEVER YOU FIX AS THE GOAL, THE QUESTION WILL REMAIN RELEVANT ABOUT THAT WHY?

                      IF THIS IS THE GOAL OF EVOLUTION, TO REALIZE GOD, THEN WHAT IS THE GOAL OF REALIZING GOD? JUST ASK THAT QUESTION AND YOU ARE BACK TO THE SAME PLACE. IF ENLIGHTENMENT IS THE GAOL OF LIFE, THEN WHAT IS THE GOAL OF ENLIGHTENMENT? AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE POINT - ENLIGHTENMENT WILL HAVE NO PURPOSE. AND IF THE ULTIMATE ITSELF HAS NO PURPOSE, THEN WHAT IS THE POINT OF SAYING THAT LIFE HAS PURPOSE AND THE WORLD HAS PURPOSE? IF THE ULTIMATE IS PURPOSELESSNESS, THEN THAT ULTIMATE PERMEATES ALL.

                      THIS GOAL ORIENTATION COMES FROM THE EGO. THE EGO CANNOT ACCEPT THAT THERE IS NO GOAL. THE EGO CANNOT ACCEPT THAT THERE IS NO HIERARCHY. THE EGO CANNOT ACCEPT THAT THERE IS NO HIERARCHY. THE EGO CANNOT ACCEPT THAT MINERALS AND TREES AND ANIMALS AND MAN AND ENLIGHTENED PEOPLE ALL EXISTS IN A GREAT SIMULTANEITY- THERE IS NO GRADATION. YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE SOMEBODY SPECIAL YOU ARE MAN, NOT A MINERAL. BUT WHAT IS SO GREAT IN BEING A MAN? WHAT IS SO GREAT IN BEING AN ANIMAL? OR A MAN OR AN ENLIGHTENED MAN? WHY CREATE THE HIERARCHY?

                 AND FINALLY THE WHOLE THING FALLS FLAT THEN IN THE END GOD HAS NO PURPOSE, AND GOD IS ALL.

                     THOSE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED, THOSE WHO HAVE HAVE NOT JUST BEEN THINKING ABOUT GOD, BUT THOSE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED WILL SAY GOD IS NOTHING BUT THE COSMIC SIMULTANEITY OF ALL. MINERALS ARE EXACTLY WHERE MAN IS IN THEIR OWN WAY, IN A DIFFERENT FORM. TREES ARE EXACTLY WHERE ENLIGHTENED PEOPLE ARE, IN THEIR OWN WAY IN THEIR OWN FORM. NOBODY IS HIGHER AND NOBODY IS LOWER.  THE EGO CANNOT ACCEPT THAT BECAUSE IF THERE IS NOBODY HIGHER, NOBODY LOWER THE EGO CAN'T EXIST AT ALL. IT CAN EXIST ONLY THROUGH COMPARISON. IT HAS TO PUT SOMEBODY LOWER AND IT HAS TO PUT SOMEBODY HIGHER. IT CAN EXIST ONLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THESE TWO FALSITIES. IT HAS TO PUT SOMEBODY LOWER SO IT CAN FEEL, GOOD, SO I AM SPECIAL. AND THEN IT HAS TO PUT SOMEBODY HIGHER SO I CAN GO ON STRIVING, SO THAT IT CAN GO ON ACHIEVING, SO THAT IT CAN GO ON LADDERCLIMBING.

THE TRUTH OF OUR MIND

 

                          HOW OUR MIND IS WORKING

                                               ❤❤

                      SHOULD YOU SEE, 

                          THE WAY OF THE BUDDHA

                    ALL NIGHT LONG,

                             SEARCHING, YOU WILL ENTER

                     INTO YOUR OWN MIND

                               SHOULD YOU SEEK

                     THE WAY OF THE BUDDHA

                                  ALL NIGHT LONG...

                                             ❤❤

                      THE ORDINARY MIND IS INTERESTED IN THE OUTSIDE. THE OUTSIDE IS INTRIGUING, WONDROUS, WORTH EXPLORING. SO WE EXPLORE IT FOR MONEY, FOR PRESTIGE, FOR OTHER THINGS, AND THEN ONE DAY WHEN WE ARE FINISHED WITH THE SO CALLED WORLDLY THINGS AND WE START LOOKING AGAIN FOR A MASTER, FOR BUDDHA, FOR CHRIST-STILL OUTSIDE! WE START LOOKING FOR THE WAY, BUT STILL OUTSIDE. AND THE BUDDHA IS NOT FOUND OUTSIDE. AND THE WAY IS NOT FOUND OUTSIDE.

                                               ❤❤

                               SHOULD YOU SEEK

                                  THE WAY OF THE BUDDHA

                             ALL NIGHT LONG...

                                               ❤❤

                       AND YOU CAN GO ON SEEKING ALL NIGHT LONG, THIS DARK NIGHT FOR MILLIONS OF LIVES, AND YOU WILL NOT FIND ANYTHING ... EXCEPT THIS TRUTH. IF YOU STUMBLE UPON IT YOU ARE FORTUNATE.

                                                     ❤❤

                                 SEARCHING, YOU WILL ENTER

                                     INTO YOUR OWN MIND.

                                                     ❤❤

                      IF YOU CAN FIND ONLY ONE THING OUT OF ALL KINDS OF FRUSTRATIONS THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO BE FOUND IN THE OUTSIDE, NOTHING AT ALL - AND SEEING IT, REALIZING IT, YOU TURN IN, THEN YOU OWN MIND IS THE WHOLE THING, THEN INSIDE YOU IS ALL.

                                                        ❤❤

                                  SEARCHING, YOU WILL ENTER

                                         INTO YOUR OWN MIND.

                                                       ❤❤

 

                           BY AND BY, AS YOU GO DEEPER INTO YOUR OWN MIND, YOU PENETRATE FROM MIND  TO NO-MIND. THE SUPERFICIAL LAYER IS OF THE MIND, BUT THE INNER CONTENT IS OF NO-MIND. THE SUPERFICIAL LAYER IS OF THE EGO, THE INNER CONTENT IS OF EGOLESSNESS. IF YOU ENTER IN, FIRST YOU WILL COME ACROSS MIND, THOUGHTS, DESIRES, FANTASIES, IMAGINATION, MEMORY, DREAMS AND ALL THAT STUFF. BUT IF YOU GO ON PENETRATING, SOON YOU WILL COME TO SILENT SPACES, THOUGHTLESS SPACES. SOON YOU WILL COME TO SILENT SPACES, THOUGHTLESS SPACES. SOON YOU WILL START COMING TO CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE INNER MOST CORE OF YOUR BEING WHICH IS TIMELESSNES, WHICH IS NOWHERENESS, WHICH HAS NO TIME AND NO SPACE.

                     WHEN YOU COME TO A POINT WHERE  YOU CAN'T SEE ANY TIME AND YOU CAN'T SEE ANY SPACE, YOU HAVE ARRIVED. BUT THIS ARRIVAL IS ARRIVING BACK TO YOUR OWN NATURE. YOU HAVE NOT ARRIVED TO SOMETHING NEW, YOU HAVE ARRIVED TO THAT WHICH WAS ALREADY GIVEN AND HAS BEEN ALWAYS YOURS.

                                                             ❤❤

                                           WHEN THEY ASK YOU,

                                               WHERE IS YOUR COUNTRY?

                                          WHAT IS YOU NATIVE PLACE? ANSWER,

                                             "I AM A MAN

                                         OF ORIGINAL INACTIVITY."

                                                             ❤❤

                         AND WHEN YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT THIS POINT, NOW YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS NO NEED TO DO ANYTHING, ALL IS HAPPENING. THAT THERE WAS NEVER ANY NEED TO DO ANYTHING. THAT ALL WAS ALREADY HAPPENING. YOU WERE UNNECESSARILY WORRIED. YOU CARRIED ALL THOSE WEIGHTS BECAUSE YOU WERE IGNORANT. OTHERWISE, THINGS WERE HAPPENING.

TIPS TO HAVE A HAPPY LIFE

 

   

                                  THE FIRST QUESTION

                                                               👀👀👀

                      TODAY YOU SAID THAT THE WAY TO ENLIGHTENMENT IS LONG AND ARDUOUS, AND ALSO THAT IT IS HERE AND NOW, NOW OR NEVER.

                         AS IT IS HERENOW, HOW CAN IT BE LONG AND ARDUOUS?

                   THAT'S WHY IT IS LONG AND ARDUOUS-BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT HERE-NOW. YOU ARE FAR AWAY FROM HERE NOW. YOU WILL HAVE TO COME, YOU WILL HAVE TO JOURNEY.

                   WHEN I SAY TRUTH IS NOT FAR AWAY, I MEAN TRUTH IS HERE-NOW I DON'T MEAN YOU ARE NOT FAR AWAY FROM TRUTH. YOU ARE FAR AWAY FROM TRUTH. TRUTH IS NOT FAR AWAY FROM YOU, GOD CANNOT BE FAR AWAY FROM YOU. GOD EXISTS IN YOU AS YOU. GOD EXISTS AS ETERNITY, NOT AS PAST OR FUTURE. GOD SIMPLY IS. HOW CAN GOD BE FAR AWAY? THERE IS NOT PLACE FOR HIM TO BE FAR AWAY. HE IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. HE IS EVERYWHERE... IN YOUR BREATHING, IN YOUR HEARTBEAT. BUT YOU ARE NOT THERE.

                      GOD HAS NOT GONE AWAY, YOU HAVE GONE AWAY FROM HIM. YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THIS. FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE NIGHT YOU SLEEP AND YOU DREAM-YOU DREAM YOU HAVE GONE TO THE MOON YOU ARE HERE, BUT THE DREAM HAS TAKEN YOU FAR AWAY. IN THE MORNING WHEN YOU AWAKE, YOU WILL NOT FIND YOURSELF ON THE MOON-YOU WILL BE HERE IN POONA. BUT IN THE DREAM YOU WERE FAR AWAY FROM YOUR REALITY. YOU HAVE TO COME BACK FROM YOUR DREAMS... AND THE JOURNEY IS ARDOUS BECAUSE YOU HAVE INVESTED SO MUCH IN THOSE DREAMS, AND YOU ARE HOPING TO GAIN SO MUCH FROM THOSE DREAMS, AND YOU HAVE LIVED IN THOSE DREAMS FOR SO LONG THAT THEY HAVE BECOME REALITY, YOUR REALITY.

                   THE EAST CALLS THIS DREAMING STATE OF MIND MAYA-ILLUSION. AND THEN YOU CAN GO ON SEARCHING FOR GOD IN YOUR ILLUSIONS AND YOU WILL NOT FIND HIM. YOU HAVE TO AWAKE. AND TO BE AWAKE IS ARDUOUS BECAUSE A THOUSAND AND ONE DREAMS WILL BE SHATTERED. AND IN THOSE DREAMS ALL YOUR JOYS, ALL YOUR SO-CALLED SUCCESS, AMBITIONS, ARE INVOLVED. YOUR WHOLE EGO IS INVOLVED. THE EGO WILL BE SHATTERED.

                   YOU ARE HERE  BUT THE EGO HAS GONE TO THE MOON-AND THE EGO CAN ONLY LIVE THROUGH DREAMS, IT CAN ONLY LIVE THROUGH ILLUSIONS. IT IS NOURISHED BY ILLUSIONS. THE MORE ILLUSIONS YOU HAVE, THE MORE GRANDIOSE AN EGO YOU HAVE. THE GREATER YOUR ILLUSIONS, THE BIGGER YOUR EGO. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO RENOUNCE THOSE DREAMS.

                        IN THE EAST THIS IS CALLED SANNYAS, TO RENOUNCE THOSE DREAMS. WHEN IT IS SAID, "RENOUNCE THE WORLD", IT IS NOT MEANT THE ACTUAL WORLD-THE WIFE, THE HUSBAND, THE CHILDREN, THE HOUSE, THE MARKETPLACE. NO, NOT AT ALL. WHAT IS REALLY MEANT IS THIS DREAMWORLD IN WHICH YOU GO ON CONSTANTLY MOVING AWAY FROM YOURSELF AND AWAY FROM REALITY. RENOUNCE THE DREAM! AND THAT IS ARDUOUS.

                      NOW, LET ME READ YOUR QUESTION AGAIN:

                                                           ❤❤❤

                       TODAY YOU SAID THAT THE WAY TO ENLIGHTENMENT IS LONG AND ARDUOUS - IT IS - AND ALSO THAT IT IS HERE AND NOW- IT IS . AS IT IS HERENOW, HOW CAN IT BE LONG AND ARDUOUS?

                       THAT'S WHY . YOU ARE NOT TO GO ANYWHERE, YOU HAVE TO COME HERE!YOU HAVE ALREADY GONE SOMEWHERE. YOU HAVE MOVED AWAY FROM YOUR INNERMOST CORE. YOU NEVER COME HOME. AND GOD EXISTS THERE, BUT YOU KEEP GOD AT YOUR BACK. YOUR EYES ARE ROAMING FAR AWAY IN DISTANT STARS, THEY NEVER COME BACK. FROM ONE STAR TO ANOTHER YOU GO ON HOPPING. YOUR MIND IS A VAGABOND.

                       SO IT IS ARDUOUS AND YET IT IS EASY. THE CONTRADICTION IS ONLY APPARENT. IT IS ARDUOUS BECAUSE OF YOU, IT IS EASY BECAUSE OF GOD.  IF YOU THINK OF GOD YOU CAN IT VERY EASILY, YOU CAN RELAX. IF YOU DEPEND ON YOURSELF, IT IS VERY ARDUOUS. 

                        THAT'S WHY I SAY IF YOU DEPEND ON YOURSELF, IF YOU DEPEND ON YOU EFFORT, YOU MAY NEVER BACK BECAUSE IT IS THROUGH EFFORT THAT YOU HAVE GONE AWAY. YOU HAVE TO SURRENDER. IN THAT VERY SURRENDERING, GRACE DESCENDS.

                       AND WHAT CAN YOU SURRENDER?WHAT HAVE YOU GOT? WHY ARE YOU SO AFRAID OF SURRENDER? YOU HAVE GOT ONLY DREAMS AND NOTHING ELSE, JUST SOAP-BUBBLES.

                     SURRENDER YOUR DREAMS AND THE TRUTH IS HERENOW. THAT'S WHY I SAY NOW OR NEVER .. BECAUSE EXISTENCE ALWAYS EXISTS IN THE NOW, AND THE MIND EXISTS IN THE THEN. EXISTENCE IS HERE AND THE MIND IS ALWAYS THERE, AND THEY NEVER MEET. HERE AND THE NEVER MEET, NOW AND THEN NEVER MEET . HERE AND THERE YOUR MIND, IT IS VERY RARE TO COME ACROSS A CONTEMPORARY.

                     SOMEBODY IS LIVING FIVE THOUSAND YEARS BACK, HE IS STILL PART OF THE DAYS OF RIG VEDA. HE IS STILL READING RIG VEDA. HE IS STILL FOLLOWING THE VEDIC RITUAL. FIVE THOUSAND YEAR HAVE PASSED, BUT HE HAS NOT COME HERE NOW. HE LIVES THERE IN THE DEAD, IN THE GONE, IN THE MEMORY.

THE GREAT SCIENTIST " OSHO"

 

                                          WHO IS "I"

                                                         

                              MY SELF OF LONG AGO

                                            👀👀👀

                    BEFORE BIRTH WE WERE NON-EXISTENCE, NO-SELF, AND WE SHALL BE SO AFTER DEATH AGAIN. THEREFORE WE ARE IN THIS CONDITION AT THE PRESENT MOMENT, WITHOUT  A THING IN THE WORLD WE CAN CALL OUR OWN-NOT EVEN OUR OWN SELVES. THIS GOES TO THE DEEPEST CORE OF THE PROBLEM.

                     DON'T DISPOSSESS THIGS - DISPOSSESS YOUR SELF, AND THEN THINGS ARE AUTOMATICALLY DISPOSSED. IF I AM NOT, THEN HOW CAN THE HOUSE BELONG TO ME? IF I AM NOT, THEN HOW CAN I POSSESS A WOMAN OR  A MAN? IF I AM NOT, THEN HOW CAN I POSSESS A CHILD? IF I AM NOT, THEN HOW IS POSSESSION POSSIBLE? THERE IS NOBODY TO POSSESS. SEE THE DIFFERENCE.

                    OTHER RELIGIONS HAVE SAID, RENOUNCE POSSESSION! BUDDHA SAYS, RENOUNCE THE POSSESSOR. CERTAINLY, IT GOES INFINITELY DEEPER. YOU CAN RENOUNCE THE POSSESSIONS, BUT THE POSSESSOR REMAINS, AND WITH THE POSSESSOR THE BLUEPRINT TO POSSESS AGAIN THE POSSESSOR WILL BRING HIS POSSESIVENESS BY THE BLACK DOOR.

                     YOU CAN SEE IT HAPPENING A MAN RENOUNCE HIS WORLDLY LIFE, MOVES TO A HIMALAYAN CAVE, BUT THEN HE POSSESSES THAT CAVE. AND IF SOMEBODY ELSE COMES AND STARTS LIVING IN THE CAVE, HE WILL THROW HIM OUT. HE WILL SAY, "GET OUT! THIS IS MY CAVE, AND THIS MAN HAS RENOUNCED HIS HOUSE, HIS WIFE, HIS CHILDREN. NOW THE SAME POSSESIVENESS HAS ENTERED IN A NEW FORM.

                      IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOU POSSESS, BUT IF YOU POSSESS THEN YOU REMAIN ON THE LEAKY ROAD,

                    DISPOSSESING THINGS DOES NOT MEAN ESCAPING FROM THINGS. THINGS ARE THERE, THEY WILL BE EVERYWHERE, IN THE HIMALAYAN CAVE ALSO THINGS WILL BE THERE, THE MOUNTAINS, THE TREES, AND YOU CAN START POSSESING THEM. IF YOU SIT UNDER A CERTAIN TREE, YOU START POSSESING IT. THIS IS YOUR TREE, NO OTHER ASCETIC CAN COME AND MEDITATE THERE, HE HAS TO FIND HIS OWN TREE OR YOU START POSSESING THE TEMPLES, THE MOSQUES, THE CHURCHES. OR YOU START POSSESING PHIOSOPHIES HINDU, CHRISTIAN, MOHAMMEDAN. OR YOU START POSSESING SCRIPTURES THE GITA, THE KORAN, THE BIBLE. OR YOU START POSSESING CONCEPTS OF GOD, "THIS IS MY CONCEPT OF GOD. YOUR CONEPT IS WRONG AND MY CONCEPT IS RIGHT.

                   BUDDHA CUTS THE ROOT. HE SAYS THERE IS NOBODY TO POSSESS. JUST SEE THE BEAUTY OF IT AND THE TREMENDOUS IMPORT OF IT. HE SIMPLY CUTS THE ROOT. HE DOES NOT CUT THE BRANCHES AND THE LEAVES, THEY WILL SUPPORT AGAIN, BECAUSE THE ROOTS REMAIN INTACT. CUT THE ROOT AND THE WHOLE TREE DIES. DON'T DROP POSSESSIONS, DROP THE POSSESSOR. AND THEN YOU CAN LIVE IN THE WORLD AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM. JUST LIVE IN THE WORLD AND DON'T POSSESS BECAUSE THERE IS NOBODY TO POSSESS.

                       THAT'S WHY I DON'T SAY TO MY SANNYASINS TO RENOUNCE THE WORLD. I SAY RENOUNCE THE EGO AND LIVE IN THE WORLD. THE WORLD CANNOT DO YOU ANY HIM. ALL THE HARM THAT HAPPENS HAPPENS THROUGH THE EGO. THAT'S WHAT BUDDHA CALLS, "SELF, IT IS HIS WORD FOR "EGO ATTA THE SELF.

                     MY SELF OF LONG AGO, IN NATURE NON-EXISTENT..

                   BUDDHA WORKED FOR SIX YEARS CONTINUOUSLY IN SEARCH OF THE SELF. YOU HAVE HEARD THE FAMOUS TEACHING OF ALL THE AGES. KNOW THYSELF? BUDDHA WORKED HARD. FOR SIX YEARS HE TRIED FROM EVERY NOOK AND CORNER, FROM EVERY ANGLE FROM EVERY POSSIBLE SIDE, TO PENETRATE INTO THIS REALITY OF THE SELF. BUT HE COULD NOT FIND IT. KNOW THYSELF, AND THE DAY YOU KNOW YOU WILL KNOW THERE IS NO SELF.

                   THAT DAY YOU HAVE KNOWN WHEN YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS NO SELF. THERE IS UTTER EMPTINESS INSIDE, ABSOLUTE EMPTINESS, SILENCE UNDISTURBED, VIRGIN SILENCE. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYBODY. IT IS JUST A DREAM.

                       IN THE NIGHT YOU DREAM AND THINK YOU HAVE BECOME AN EMPEROR. AND IN THE MORNING YOU FIND YOURSELF IN THE SAME OLD BED, AND YOU ARE NOT AN EMPEROR. BUT THE MIND CAN IMAGINE, THE MIND IS A GREAT IMAGINATIVE FORCE. THE SELF IS MIND'S IMAGINATION. IT DOES NO EXIST IN REALITY.

                 THOSE WHO HAVE PENETRATED DEEP INTO THEIR OWN BEING HAVE COME TO KNOW UTTER SILENCE. NOBODY HAS BEEN FOUND THERE. AND THAT IS THE GREATEST REALIZATION. TO FIND NOBODY THERE... THEN ALL PROBLEMS DISAPEAR, BECAUSE THE PROBLEM CREATOR HAS DISSAPEARED.

                                              ❤❤❤

                    MY SELF OF LONG AGO,
