Attachment to the Guru and Satsang - 28th August 2017

Shanthi says, it is hard to give up this last attachment, which is enjoying the knowledge of Self or Self. I come to Satsang because of the joy of this recognition, yet if it was taken away, they will fill me, this pure knowledge with a capital 'K'. But attachment to the Guru and Satsang is so sweet.

Actually, in your report itself, it is clear that what you say is that even if this was to go away, I know that I would be the Self. I think real could be taken away from me? So that itself means that you are starting to witness this entire play as a movement of consciousness. And consciousness playing both the roles of coming to Satsang and sharing Satsang—all of this is the one play of consciousness. You are also starting to see that all this idea of coming to Satsang because of deciding to come or not come, all of this is over, less it right away now. You see it all as movement of consciousness.

Why do you come to Satsang? You don't. Why do I share Satsang? No, I can give some answer, but I don't. So from this non-mental move, there is just this grace about how all of this has moved and great wonder about how this play functions. Let me say something: attachment to the Guru and Satsang is so sweet. It is a rare, sweet attachment. Mooji says if you have to be attached to something in this world, be attached to the Master, because even this attachment is his problem. The Master takes care of all our attachments, including this which can seem like it is the final attachment.

As long as it can seem like there is a 'me' and there is my Guru, then best if there has to be an attachment, let it be to that one. Then you will see that there is no real 'that'. Then you will see it already. You see it in the only tree. I know that this feeling can seem so sweet and I've said also that if there are a few attachments that remain here—the joy of this Sangha and my physical phenomenal family—there is some attachment which continues to play out, knowing fully well that all of this is also his problem. It's been such a great blessing to move away from all this painful attachment to come to this beautiful point where we can even say that this attachment is so sweet.
