Ashtavakra Gita Ch. 1, Vs. 5-9 Commentary and Contemplation - 1st August 2017

But so much beyond even any concept of freedom you are, because the words which every greater numbers from my last three times of sharing—two of them—and it is one of my favorite sources: 'You are the solitary witness of all that is, forever free. Only bondage is not seeing this.' Again, move talk about: 'You are the solitary witness of all that is, forever free. Only bondage is not seeing this.' There is one witness to this entirely. It was only one of them. Get the being that emerges out of this self in the way of consciousness that enough is out of this hell. It can seem like, it feels as if there are a multitude. All aspects of consciousness or different levels are available here. Entire section. If there is a page, there is also the axe. If it is a blank joy, this will be for it is here, all appearing. Then one turning homage. If there is one mind which certain phases of operation where all different types of mind also that okay. All the things, ecology, the car, all the interferences of actions. What witnesses all of these phases? You are the solitary witness of all that is, forever free. Only bondage is not seeing this. What do we mean that only bondage is not seeing and the solitary witness? And how can I be gone if I have no form? If I have no shape and size, how can I have bondage? And they take this one down as a question block. The things that so many grateful things about us for the one solitary witness of all that is, you have been saved inside your neck to accomplish. We should just happy in your field. And how come he tell will only bondage be not seeing this? Open a mess. What happened? Okay, let's take more than the answer. The commission infant. We like to say, 'Only bondage.' Will it apply to take a few moments and contemplate this? Maybe a little in total. Then with our announcers and happy to hear, I'm going to be collecting all your logbooks in order. What is bondage? What does it apply to? That I think I'm a little out of it.

So there is a witness. That is a witness. And we saw very with a nominal movement. And what is it identified with? What we're talking with the witness is just witnessing. How do we witness you all this? I want that, I don't know it, we need it back. So composure our employees or everyone on December 15. There is a witness. Now there is a time where there is only difference, there is no fill. You have to experience of that what so many favorite is like awareness, nothing. Well, that they were deep sleep state. There is no phenomena. The phenomena being the phenomenal version of the root of all phenomena, which is consciousness. Oh, not begging for this witness is now need a witness is there. Then any sort of trouble, any you can make inferior work on it first. What has happened? It's like something arises out of deliberate reason which we call dozens of the being. Then it is out of and it easier like it creates this indirect phenomenal existence and then it fits and it's all generated only eight. But then when it feels like the only way it could do it by into a spot. I think on the night school are you see the emergence of this and then I can spectacle consciousness then come this region create or dreams to state whether it's phenomenal move now all kinds of phenomena that is for this then this is the phenomena materials were there. One of the phenomenal appearances is thought. Then what engages with a thought in what way this function is clay as if it is English with the strong? I could afford to take any interference for water good for you yet imagine the steps to be a scenic releases like say I believe a thought then I'm imagining myself to be something that is not homogeneous me. I'm scheduling when I imagine my supposed to be in this body and I picked somebody which is not really careful because everything we've only made and then I feel like everything else is an object. If I identify with the mind, this is a pillow or business what do you and then I start doing so this belief only engage the top here for the question me. So if there is an object expedition of these are it comes from that which I call the mind you don't want it or believe or not they will do the play of attitude attention on an object can happen attention actually directly by itself remote ago before we don't even need to forcefully control our attention in something mostly let's you so now Aditi or just this witness which is awareness within which...

What do you do? And then I start doing so. This belief only engages the thought here for the question. So if there is an object, expectation of desire, it comes from that which I call the mind. You don't want it or believe it or not, they will do the play of attention. Attention on an object can happen. Attention actually directly by itself, we don't even need to forcefully control our attention in something mostly, you see. So now, Atma, or just this witness which is awareness, within which consists being or consciousness, I am. And as long as I am as which I am, totally all of this thought, you don't wear this 'I am' then not receiving solutions to come.

When she says that the phenomenal wave ties with so many different objects, now attention can go to all per-view articles. One of the objects is one thought. One is like this inner mental world whose only job seems to be to convince this 'I am' that I am something. 'I'm not good, I'm going to me, but I have some going that way.' They would say this Atma, so we will do the Jiva. And something within the net to fix of the idea 'I am something' is falling as if it were imitating in this vision. So we've seen the consciousness play this game in this way also, given itself the power of attention with which all of this estate shall call this phenomenal redness a story. It also should I start the power to reveal what its own creation, this mind, is saying. Then it's saying this word of buying into this. It is ideal fashion and it won't be seen. So only bondage is not seeing this.

Let's look at this. What do we do in satsang? The theory of satsang is like we come in believing that I am something. What do we look more part to the point? Can you stop what the belief does is being have? What are the boundaries of this being? Does being have a relationship? Does being have a job? And all this trouble which is, belongs to the identity 'I am something.' Instantly in the mantra, what is that which is aware of even of your own being? What is aware even if you won't be? I am. They don't think about it too much. In actual ease, these are thinking about that concern consciousness. So actually, it is a design that experiences Atma Darshan. I wanted the light of tips all this anomaly to happen. If I come to the form with self-inquiry, the theme of this consistent weighing is recited: 'I am something.' Then consider cells coming with a tradition of orders. Really, list businesses.

So that's right. Since as you are the solitary witness of all that is, forever clean, the only bondage is not seeing like because it seemed that John will be comfortable recognition. They are this welcome something could be near gratitude which is giving this man and remember and husband and wife. All of these absolutes make the limitations, while actually none exist. And we have little party respectively. We watch movies, read a book. You cannot identify with any of the characters. We find it a very boring or very good or engaging. What to enjoy the beautiful, you know, not really fire correct characters were created with. What does it need to really couldn't identify with it? So what does that mean? I couldn't believe that is me, I could be in that situation. This ability to take a particle here and say 'this is me' is the power of identifying, power of identification.

Once inside ring itself, the ability to play, I think it is we do a little business, separate entities to build a stability. So that's why one of our policy from all-merciful time is about this recognition of what you really are. So the only bondage is not seeing. I usually speak about another aspect of bondage because I like to feel that music you will benefit them. I've seen this. We are keep adding you embody this videos custom this one way, the way or the home of the governor for me. It will be distance between you. One difference there is none because very where you are, but awareness we not know. So you are having the recognitions for yourself.

So you see this very quickly. What can happen is that because a habit has been to identify with that rivet identity, then we will be seen with 'I' which is something. 'I am on top at the experience of myself as awareness.' This is not true. This consciousness which came to the recognition of its own souls and awareness always knows that it is aware anyway. It is more now looking into the recognition. The minute we start to claim it personally, that 'I even a very strong experience with the Sun,' I don't give it too much importance, especially when its tablet it has been claimed personally. If path between obtaining this individual or claim at our Arsenals can become the foundation for the spiritualism, foundation for evidence, especially it is not universally by fun silly or have a bond that comes to the recognition. It will be consistent daily, we know deluding itself and coming out of this delusion. I just leave it at this discovery, not worth knowing what an individual entity like and recognizing this with mystical and there is more ground for these are the spiritually graves.

It would even refer directly to the signature which you feel you don't get it, haven't got it, come to set you free. You got it, come to some. It will be cumbersome things of satsang then good. We don't really like a perfect. I'll go on. Okay, ego might be good. Okay, it's still more than four verses to be the path and the tool. If you buy it of a poisonous snake, you know I do nothing. The wisdom of field, be happy for thought. I'll get you chocolate. The thought and the doer is the bite of a poisonous snake. You know I do nothing. It will resume off field.

Now we talked about this. Doer worship possibly 'I am doing' and answer frame that is six teens need up belongs to the identity which actually doesn't exist. Again, taking a set of sensations and saying that we got individual visa me and I will really become the suffering and we list and say who is the fastest? You don't find it up a bit right now. You move your hand, we find that there is no individual entity actually holding it this thing before. So the light of consciousness, the power comes. So this idea on the doer is one of those from this lecture. I spoken about this before when I said that we boys with 3D ego readings with Yvonne. One was the coercion. Okay, let's start in order of individual well-being duality, a better than me and there is at the very alertly this all acceleration. How's it good? We keep a constant I believe itself to be something separated. Duality is real happen then if this case I desire in the of desires wanted this whatever that conception might be, the most popular English body-mind organisms. And this body-mind or delivery, this is not me but I want it, I desire it without operation can be builder already everything with you what to do desire on to procedure generation.

We have a taper on the 5 mm. Okay, wherever I go I feel like anything belongs to me. You can sound like a very strange statement, is it really? But that's okay. Saying this actually on the fruit is this one. It is one appearance. So this desire even exists, then I'll desire a pokemon from what should I do if I'd be worship and some time off lucky good. Then because of the duality, desire, worship, and this become the 3D think of idly. And this I take enough the example if we could exist worship. Let's see that all of our grievances a bit of intuition many times you we have this a greater sub function gone there would you like oh we are no longer the deal but the other one doesn't come to certain gates in the to launch is looted we can remain together solve it solve ourself of all responsibility but goes around it as two individuals we have to imbibe it.

So it's the concept of diversity drawn and not just great side at least with also grievances. Who is doing what to do what in this piece has been done upon me but I am are they there is no other no me. So when I told Isaac forgiveness I'm automatically is we are seeing yourselves to be here what you are and all this got single given three ideas we will say more and more as we are coming to the recognition of what we are finding the elusive duality which are to dissolve. The thought 'I am the doer' the bite of a poisonous snake. The fire of an instrument be happy it will be something to be and this is very, very, very important understanding. And the one awareness consumes all suffering in the fire of the minute right now this everything from the boss is gone and you are aware of your existence and unless you pick up an idea you will not find something.

If you do we getting disconnected or it is a good example because now what we are talking about the thing you see this one you are aware Nick this unless you believe a part about your studies unless you give a cent to your limitation in it for me something before me any doses that which exists that which is aware of existence with that have a desire with lacking in and lets you buy an interpretation from the mind in this instance it is done I'm in abeyance and it is a it simply only means that you are always that do you see now that preferred if there is effort in the pretense of bondage only fear of all the clinicians to be let me see that if there is effort it is effort not to find freedom because freedom we just checked with instantly where the baby did less is a fun duel French I saw in that moment she saw and besides I am unlimited.

So in this instance effortlessly you start offers free if we start off as this this and with no idea I am something whoa what much effort be the effort was little older this you are something limited to tens of ego this and it will be mine itself which is convinced you that you must walk these 500 steps to come to freedom because I did a play of individuality alone if you are free now this forms where you are to go what is the effortless once I say because even this can be with you so I see that even if it does ski like effort to find the right portrays so this might seem like I firstly right now just take whatever this one somebody can say what I'm making this effort this can be mean come to this to this curve video clear effort listen if it is like a little bit of effort is needed well you my face oh I'm always free I just don't need to come to satsang because to D'Oench of the effort to the tens of hundreds coming to the familiar for all would be I don't want to do the entire living body therefore what is inquiring just the checking of what is with the recognition of all things.

If the mind can make that seem like a first and to be delimited to know as this you are a personalized with your ego and came to be a purchase because a habit but actually what are you finding finding that in this instant and from sixteen and Dutch pioneer of this phenomena three less I pick up a sunset I pick up a judgments or is equal I think that's good even if there is pain in the body the pain of cases that you find more individually afraid of the thing you want to save that it is a medical entity invading the concept and it makes me your being still of space okay don't get confused with that okay it's so spacious that everything is allowed within it and it's never an out of space of experience but usually when you define yourself consciousness define the third to be something the smallest that it can claim as it evolved overwhelmed by something how can everything get over and buy something can the ocean get over and buy way matter how big the tidal wave in the ocean being over so this moment is so natural and obvious it's like system are you existing effortlessly of therefore you exist what is the effort you're making?
