Awareness Is Always Neutral - 25th January 2016

Who feels that there is something left? One something left to be done, something left to be seen, some state yet to be realized? If ego is left, but it is seen that you are not the ego, then it's not ego, you see. Ego means the sense that this that is not me is me. When you see that ego is left, it means you already see it. That means what? That the mind continues to function and sometimes it gets our belief sometimes. But right now when you look, you see ego is left. So you see that if you see it, then you are not it, you see.

Sometimes it just feels like this, this lump of energy. It just appears in front of me and I'm actually no way concerned by it. This lump of energy can consist of this body, thoughts, emotions, all of these things. And see, like that, it's just moving on its own. Just like these hands are moving on their own. I'm not saying, 'this hand go like this, this hand go like that.' It's just moving. This talking is just flowing on its own. I'm just watching all of this. This is the same for all of us, and yet this sense of doership, me and mine, gets picked up. Actually, we are just seeing it as the witness of it, just being watched. The seeing—what is the seeing doing? If we were to even forget about the concept of Consciousness for a minute...

Yes. So all is just seen appearance. Forget about Consciousness for a minute. There's appearance and there is an awareness of the appearance. What is the awareness doing about anything in the appearance? Just witnessing it. Because even the taste of it is happening for Consciousness. So when I say that forget about Consciousness, it means forget about my dynamic aspect. I as awareness, as this instrument... you just... like what is a good example? Suppose I had a special glove which can participate in some other realm. You, Consciousness, is like that. It's still me, still a part of me, but it's not the entirety of me. It's made up of me, but and yet it is not the entirety of me. Just as what is experienced is just a small aspect of me. This one is feeling, tasting everything that is there in this realm, but the witness of this, that which sees this—what is happening to that? Is it neutral? It's neutral, isn't it?

So if this is neutral, then what are we working towards? Can it ever get out of neutral?

Suppose it's like the gear in the car. Does it ever come to first or second? It's always in neutral, isn't it? No matter what is happening, what the road conditions are, what traffic is there, whether there are bullock carts like in India sometimes or whether there are speed trains, it's always in neutral, unaffected by any of this.
