Contemplation on the Ashtavakra Gita Chapter 12 - 22nd August 2017
Saar (Essence)
Ananta explores the transition from identifying as a limited doer to abiding as the effortless witness. He emphasizes that the self is already present and requires no conceptual effort or mental grasping to be.
You are not the thinker of your thoughts or the doer of your acts; the world runs effortlessly.
The mind is like a lawyer representing a client that doesn't exist.
Nothing to reject, nothing to accept; you are that which is present before any idea of self arises.

Namaste everyone. Welcome to Peace from Space. We are engaging in Chapter 12: Abiding in the Self. Let's see now. 'Becoming first intolerant of action, then of excessive speech, then thought itself, I come to be here.' Remember now, that's Janaka. After hearing the story again, Janaka is speaking, and it will become a dialogue between two sages, the communion of two. 'Becoming first intolerant of action, then of excessive speech, then thought itself, I come to be here.' Now, being intolerant of action does not mean that I am averse to some action or to some connection. It only means that I stopped considering myself the actor in the world because of the big fallacy. Just because these sensations are so intimate, it can cling like, 'I am the speaker of these words.' But the more I see them arising to play, this must un-cling like this with your own movement. You see that everything is just moving. This world is running effortlessly, and this world includes this body.
Often we ask, 'Are you being? Are you existing?' with some effort or effortlessly? Our existence is effortless in that if you applied all effort right now in this moment, what would you do? To stop it? Then stop it already. Put it aside that it is done with this realm of experiencing and go back to sleep. And existence does not mean that existence, the basis of which all existence is experienced, all of this very experience, the integrity of the body and the intricacies of the rest of the world, lie in your existence to exist. Because which is the one? And we need a universal existence. It is not just a nice thing to say that God is everywhere. It is as much more of a fact than any other fact that you can see. What is this God? What is the genesis of this existence? It is your own existence. I am. And this 'I' is not versus some other fundamentals. This is consciousness, this very 'I am' existing. To hear what happened, 'I am' comes, and usually with 'I am' comes all of this change, all of this scale's movement, moving including the body as part of the same appearance.
But also as part of the movement is a trickster. The tricky part is to not be—not that we have to have an aversion for mind, but to realize that it is not speaking the truth about me. It is telling me that I am a limited entity, telling me that I am something contained in this body. 'I am the owner of this body.' Is that what the owner of the vast universe is? The owner of this body? Then the duality of me and another can start. If you woke up from sleep and you never had this thought, is there any separation? All of this is wonderful. And how would you live? See, we are really now starting to go to movement's response. What is it that we are recognizing about ourselves? The enquirer is the one who asks, 'Who am I?' Are we finding a limited person sitting there? And now sometimes moving your heart also, whenever in our city business to find one tiny person sitting head to toe, head over here. This is what the mind would like to tell me. The mind will say, 'I want you should have this.' It's conveying the voice of a limited entity that you cannot find. Yes, like a lawyer who screws up. And who would be a screw? The client and itself. That's one of everything it has to. There is an objection to what you—that everything objects, objects, objects. Even in its so-called acceptance, the mind objects. 'I accept you. I forgive you.' There's so much separation in that. Is there? We are looking to the mind. Does it have—if the soul has a good fly, which voice is representing somebody? But is that somebody here?
And this is the point where the lawyer says something like, 'We can't go there. It is too difficult, too abstract. I'm not a distant man, I'm a person of the world.' The lawyer is over then. What is the trick? For this trick, we are the one who is witness of even these thoughts. What difference? Even the 'I' saw it as number one. Something is in what? A witness of all phenomena. We are the witness of phenomena, a little phenomenal. Okay, how are you going to go to the lawyer for the answer or to the greater table? But you are this weekly client who's fighting for his or her own right. Only this would you do? Is it one to look at self-righteousness and come with it? The need to be right is the biggest instance. And also, it must give some value to some concepts that I hold. Something at least must be right. What has leaked about myself? What if all of it was of this earthly leaks that you had about yourselves? Who would suffer? Could not believe anything about it with anyone coming to show? Gotcha. Oddity with this way of attack and defense of righteousness, right and wrong. Here you want to give up attachment for which it'll make me naked, the empty another phenomenal you, until all of the beliefs with the innocence of a child.
Oh, intolerance of action. This social sector, becoming first intolerant of action, then of excessive speech. So we see with that rhythmic body moving on its own, and all of us must experiment with this. The claimant who claims that it knows how to move the body—'I am moving my hand'—claiming that voice of desire itself. But I do know how to move that, and they look like I'm doing it. What I'm doing? Oh, it's like that is an appearance. 'I am doing it. I am moving my hand.' The movement of my hand is an equation, both a movement of your own being. So many will come and visit. See, now if you fall for this stuff, you will become the poster. This one through will stop taking care of the children to sleep, children will go hungry. And all of these beliefs. It has never happened with this scheme, the voice of the lawyer which is saying that you exist as an individual entity apart from the rest of this world. And even if God is moving the rest of the world, making these planets, who are all these PM whispers? All of the multiple lands, all of you with going to get horses that move here, which are moving here. All of that, what is God doing with your life? Will all of that must be up to you? And we can. Who is this 'I' who must take care of it? You know, back, not important. I will be back tomorrow for it is you, for the on the move with you soon. That be the breathing source of everything actually.

If you want to get somewhere, if you want to do something, if you want to get something, won't you first know who you are? That is, become sister exemption. I know why. So that's why it becomes with funny situation, the play of consciousness itself where we do not—we are constantly in denial of what which we are, which is so apparent actually if you look for one instant and be complete in service to that one which you cannot find. This is the trick of this place, this mind. If it is reusable, could it be they bought themselves? Okay, proposing a bit limited entity in doing only this. What is moving from this body? 'I am doing probably that.' I think the limited function form will be character sitting inside the body, needs is very much controlling it. We are not that. We really what class in that about myself? There is no difference between you and I. We were the not borrowed over there are something which I'm counting on the pages. Forget, we must have been right. So let's all presume together. I am speaking from my experience. It actually is your next video. This is maximum level that I ever considered myself to be. Alright, still sometimes and to build myself to be, it's the little entity go to because I have seen along with I come on stairs were not psychic. You consider yourself to be is not the thinker of your thoughts or the doer of that act.
So the fifth perception we have about ourselves: I don't know how to do. I said, mind, I don't know how to move a finger. You can gain the return. It's real. It is not one iron more for desire. Don't know anything. It is mostly just like a Marathi atmosphere force factor words. I think I'm what has to happen, happen. And this voice coming this week, 'We do this really quickly. We decided to do this very good. Also shouldn't have done the action.' If you ask one of the two questions: 'Who are you who's saying this to me?' or 'Who is it that you are speaking to?' I will agree question. There is enough. We were welcomed this very zone where we presume the mind is my wife and move the talking to is talking to me. Before investigation of all, if it is including my losses and what a good thing and already know why I am. The words to talk to myself, please. I need a word to go through you. The key bit of investigation if you can do, you can take with the mind soul who just at your representative of the good food. Hopefully it's under moves very fun. What is voice and I hear? Well, you represent you do me. Who is moving? What happened? Clear receptacle. So much once resonated through the word came up. It was close to lunchtime. Three words came up saying if it was speaker with his own like this people like a device this before but did given such. 'Yes, you are hungry. Not doing what I want for last.' This speaker, they're all speaking the gold is on there. Imagine before I don't know wagon imagine came and I meal attendance and that it will not go significant with a little cooking. I imagine and before what I want now this was I've always been there. I could speaker here. It actually here it feels like that. Do you think that even now I think this this time? Okay, people to totally like that's the constant comment to so if you middle narrative who wants to do this now if it happened in this big like this way somebody came in that is what I want you to do say but while you to give me order it says it's you which what why are you increasing the mind like that myself this is what he wanted if you get this then he will be happy oh you know this and also not just that last two thousand times where you set this to me eight a not worth it not like there is no traffic or also I have a track record of hundreds of finger to do that if you only got this you me forever happy like this snake oil salesman who selling us with to be made we keep on why because we just a bit and it's some sort of a whole but so far it's led me down the garden path but ultimately gave me to heaven so by what for me tickets to a merry-go-round or missing that itself okay to heaven or the computer none maybe with us but who put that fought so many times and ultimately one day a negative like how people get addicted to buying what we could keep buying keep buying and over the year basement also use whatever currency they using and is it good now I have invested so much my odds are better next time they're not actual odds mean exactly the same so this is worse because the lottery tickets that is being sold by the mining the price you already have whatever it is how much in to get to your eternal nature already what a place Joe to real one who's sitting on the box and there's treasure inside the box and we're begging for food who'll open that box of the point I know where you have had it forever Google so the invitation to us if you like el compadre Zeta Siri abstract - missions we will be our shield what's in the box we're looking outside all of these things with what is inside what is it that you are before you can tell me what you want you to do yourself with integrity with this one thing is clear when should one author of that which you can say yourself to give you the limited entities in what the dwarf therefore both action and reach a bond then of thought itself I come to be here so what are we with that action open like this and movement or speech then movement which seems to believe signal movement at all then that we belong to be was analyzing and not the thing bit of my heart's marketeer of my acts is good then I came to be here neither sounds well Morrible conceptions attack Marik and even with l1 - cream undistracted 1.2 Here I am neither sound both ends perception attack Mac and now let's look at this fool me again because again potential for confusion everything is there so what is it that we've seen that Mohamed self or ego or the - walk with your choice between no it was an excellent safety there between objects around the world the wider stance we are important important what is the value tha
When I came to be here, neither sounds nor sense perceptions attack my mind, and even with my heart undistracted. Here I am, neither sound nor sense perception attack my mind. Now, let's look at this 'me' again, because again, the potential for confusion is there. Everything is there, so what is it that we've seen? That small self, or ego, or the 'me'—walk with your choice between—no, it was an excellent safety there between objects around the world. The wider stance we are: important, important. What is the value that something that I perceive brings to me? What's in it for me? Either an outer vehicle or the... what is it? Go together. Hide entire. The wrong with this, the punch is: what's in it for me? It's also 'me first' and cut. All in your bones until the scenario three. That's not a beginning segment. Many times you might feel this way, saying, 'If then, if I don't get it, then nobody else is getting it either.' Very irritating. If I'm not getting it, another thing to me is this. So simply very irritating for the mind who wants to be first. It wants to be alone with Portugal, who, according to the mind, what's happening in satsang is: 'I will get enlightened. I will get enlightenment.' This is why you are here. What's in it for me? Now, what it is? Both. I want to win the race. We seek is a fear you move injective. How doesn't happen? Sokka, do I make you so very bothersome and nothing big? Cute a second. You can be a great other building the plane. The network thing would be a lot actually happening together only years ago. Remember, which I'm not able to buy all the WFO and hello continent there. And we all stand in line and he ties the link into Google and so it would... so what ask is very cool. You don't mean LBD. They are not acceptable in May, which is you and eventually else about the same game. So how does it make a difference? Try to avoid in open Advaita of oneness, which we all one, maybe executed so funny.
I watch Munakata movie and this world will be them with people because we're looking for 'me'. I'll do anything, everything in life in the case of saturation of illusion which we have considered. Let me get this all my data. If the consciousness itself is doing the play of delusion, then why is it fun? Because consciousness will increase also. We're coming to the end of the movie, probably we go into the movie also. It with a... or coming to the Sun and coming to go to oil discovery led by stem again. Like in the movies, most of us we don't like about ending the Google. You would stab you chose to remove this person food is equally high density for the end of lifetime and Tommy okay. Something that you're not back to everything that's wrong with the food. All the people, the people are jealous of the new person, person, person which they do wish like, 'Oh, how can I get it?' All of that. And you make all this well, not there's any with the mountain on untouched. Unbelievable sense in the would you want to this to the consequence of two exact issues also from this. Oh, I'm going to leave population within one six minutes and people tend to... I still get stuck with my equal neck and it will matter that can result. I'm stuck, stuck again. So you see, your oscillation is okay. Participants, let's make the deal of one for it.
So, 'neither sound nor sense perception attract my attention.' Okay, we're talking. So now, one believe in this idea as to get whatever you need, whatever it is. It's nice, it's just what you can time. It just is. It is open. This there is acceptance or what is this holy grasping send on something the time to do in the version two stops away. And all the time, if you don't have that kind of opening tension, you don't have going to meeting the... you got it lieutenant. Okay, this is what it mean here. Otherwise, you can sound like my intention will just drop over. This is very exciting, very troublesome contact or picket or my pension will drop away to the rest of the world and I can genuinely DM citizen. Hopefully there is no really, there is no tension of myself. They took in a way of this way of attentions like with a be coming back to speak for attention will come back for just intuition. This attentional design profit nominal normally content is work back to work when I think you do like in deep sleep state. Should we say that there is attention themselves until all phenomena? Yet we know the very subtle be not mentally awareness is aware of itself and the thing else not even is phenomenal is it is more than half intestine.
So then I am also find the derivative of attention. Now, a long time we contemplated what comes so this and that you that actually would have a little time but I plan to fish or some solace it will emerge people. It's beautiful so that you can come to this conclusion the time will also subject to again I control diaster chomp another one then we're certain convinced as I was to talk to have now. What is the recognition for an intervention like the subscribers and then we might wave is like a movie some got exclusive actually just means that's it. Yes, good technician myself something phenomenal for the small engines do not need a way attention to know where when we need to not need attention to know it's that moment of recognition. If you already have that and I asked you, 'Are you aware now?' or reporting time really doesn't feel like home. Diane Cilento with mold is ready to do not a play of attention and yet this is that just for an instant honking look triggering happen. Let's look to limit the directing of attention. John sandwiches good friggin stops add black beam using attention to mean with itself in some ways and yet when it creeps into its own source it is not a play of attention. If all of this is the word repentance is just forget about chess here we go honey he was focused visiting each side will see that so exactly what I was going to scale that don't have this idea one that now that this cover tighter there will be no attention to anything.
Wow, William is an alternative soup watch it back in the way it is watching with us like you know myself is always so are you aware? Are you attention to make that discussed? Yet there was a recognition of this source someday. Okay, I launched the cargo well well when is it always aware of itself in their consciousness case as if it is an object and then clear with the recognition of this cortisone source is what with itself is made at all that you come through the famous which is present no matter in fact where attention is it there's a good technician the consciousness makes up its own source too and that's why the second something yet this word sort of movement happens which is the direction of attention from result I will. But the point I was making was maybe the whole pivotal back which is that and then we expect that once I discover myself then this world I will just be you just be awareness aware of event and punches as resting in its own source and not finding in me now I'm going to object that is what want to respond to is or awareness wanted then the we cooperate with mark on the point of the waiting faith is only that you get it eighths of this phenomenal set with dynamic aspect the panther and it is then with this latest attention get seems like this effort to even in the be of effort.
Okay, now or come to the recognition of what it is you actually effortless. Now attention is a limited aspect. It's a very big place part of the place and yet unlike awareness it seems to be emitted. What is the diction we can awareness and attention? The grateful contemplation. So if a 10-10 of you asking the personal 10 times I don't have the attention to once all of that the tensions can only be limited. We put a worm's with no awareness it just feels it is the - how much object will oh you did it is unjust open so it can feel like it therefore to direct keep my attention on a particular theme therefore most of Indian spirituality to try and control our attention away from the objects of the mind which is the thoughts into either a mantra or to the breath also the whole system are you all about times with the whole logic. Now here is edition with here we say let your attention go wherever don't believe or tell mind is mean about what is it really so potential is bringing this body and don't believe mind when it says this is attention is in other objects going to be the judgment of the mind of all then what happens is that attention doesn't seem to be working in sync with the Muhammad nur which is what's in it for me the seamless and pond surface is also stated as a objective in taking the liquid feel like it can be retention only for selfish attention goes.
Okay, then what happens we when we talk away this idea wasn't for me we start getting busy in fact that attention that she is the loudest or we find that mostly it is with the content of the cells in common unlike over here where we it was so dispersed between the mind and the amber content of personally that's why the pages will say it is like the world became brighter not like the one picking lighter it is that the attention stop being so disposed right now if you look at me and you try to focus on what imaginary tree one of the emitter will get blown I think they actually we become clear in JIRA and now siding it will get good or while setting is very clear with the tree over so it showed that I'd enjoy a limited so the control attention is not so much concerned with this is going to come and work at the same time and something like this leaves the case the world is a lot more open and we think we'll have a lot more time to not be rushed so the mind is not constantly what why does it happen I believe in my mind is got to live and we will find that attention also then find the content of the - oh thank you I cannot dying with the reach of the mind that it's necessarily a region well since the world injury but of the first state of attention during the phenomena going and the particle one sequel so I go down or other sense perception attack prevention.
Namaste, Father. And you know, for quite some time stuck at this point well because there is their VP speaker from Rupert Spira who says when you check whether you are aware, the mind goes to the self and then comes back to say, 'Yes, I am aware.' And secondly, in my own experience, when you say that who is aware of awareness, then the mind doesn't find anything. It goes into a kind of a abyss, whatever the prints translation is, it doesn't find anything. So it is a kind of a like losing my own body justice. So when I close my eyes and I reach who is aware of awareness, then it becomes a kind of a Samadhi actually, you know, then I lose back the body consciousness. This is this is an experiential thing here and spend endless loda with two people.
First thing was is that Rupert teacher was saying that we asked am I aware then the mind itself goes to well I'll be a bit surprised because anyway respective of that what I want to say is that mine is it was sticky thing because it depends on the definition that's a losing for the mind. So now if the mind this includes definition it's just a bundle of comments and similar energy then actually it is not going and coming somewhere at all the appearance of these thoughts so similar energies is there then we say that is mind and it is not there and we say that it so minds when you go further for for me my it is like from Mary Romanus point of view the phantom thought for me mind is like the phantom thought I always use the word mind like that very good Phil - what I'm saying is you will conclude this mission that the van itself is with this the mind is nothing but open to the performance otherwise what can happen is that in even Indian spirituality there is a big mind there is a small mind what is a big mind reduce consciousness itself when it gets very confusing and even each other later use this terminology where it is become confusing about which mind are they referring to this the save is division terminology which we all problem which is that this mind is a bundle of course so now do you see see that there is no
With this, the mind is nothing but open to the performance. Otherwise, what can happen is that even in Indian spirituality, there is a big mind and there is a small mind. What is a big mind? It is consciousness itself. When it gets very confusing, and even each other later use this terminology, it becomes confusing about which mind they are referring to. This is the same division of terminology which we all have a problem with, which is that this mind is a bundle of thoughts. So now, do you see that there is no entity called the mind which goes inside and comes outside? This is a cadence of this energy, constant. Now, that which perceives which mind is consciousness, think. Now, if you are referring to that as mind, if you are referring to this as many people do as the 'big mind' or something like that, then you just end up confusing yourselves because the terminology that we use here in satsang is very different from that.
Let us say it is the channel, actually. Rather, I withdraw the word 'mind' and substitute it with 'attention.' Attention is much more intuitive, like with the Lily's shapeless force which seems to bring phenomenal objects to life. You can only say that something exists from your direct insight now if your attention is on it. So it's very similar to awareness, but it is beyond most qualities. It has this quality of being limited. Like when your attention turns inwards, what exactly is possible for a moment, actually outside of time, when attention is not focused on an object? And with the leaning recognition of the source of our own existence, to say then, 'I find home.' Like what am I? A motor vehicle between the word mind, power, tension, the concept, or the point of looking within? What is the witness who witnesses that? You can turn this attention in oil when it comes to a point where there is no more attention, where there is only the Self. So attention as a tool has been given to outward objects for a long time. Then in the meditation with Atma, it is awesome because it turns inwards to the point where attention itself—there is no finding of this force called attention.
Between the lot, I prefer to say attention instead of mind, Father. When you say it, who is the 'I' that exists? If I ask this question and close my eyes for the whole day, I can just sit like this without any answer coming up. So who could think that? You know how many people are dying to get experiences like that? But rather than it, then you say that we are trying to do the flip side. Some Samadhi, all kinds of Samadhi. My asking you on one hand, my asking you once, brings me to tears. Then what is further? I don't want anything. I try to bring myself to the awareness, actually, which is not needed. I lose everything. I lose everything. I lose myself. But then I forcefully try to bring myself to the awareness of this because I see that is the target.
Oh, maybe now I ask you the question. Now you have to listen to the question like a small child, not with the presumption that you know what is the attempt of the question, not with the idea that 'I know what Father is expecting out of me.' When I ask this question, be empty of all those hums. Be empty of where the question is taking you and be empty of all conclusions because what is happening is indescribable. It cannot be expressed in words. Even the sages will not be able to tell you what happens then. You come to the recognition of the test. Now, if you have a benchmark, you already come with the idea of what should happen. When you're actually trying to put the thread through the hole in the needle, but actually you're carrying a bag with that, which is the bag of presumption and expectations of what should happen, which is not really peaceful for that. Away, don't know what should happen.
Yeah, actually I am stuck in this for one year. Actually, what is happening?
Okay, tell me in the corner. If you have no idea about where you want to go, back to you, you don't have to move an inch. Then how will you be stuck? Really, when you want to go somewhere and something seems to become an obstacle for you, can you do such? You're trying to make a discovery of event, so whether we're right or knowing, make of knowingness or something like that.
No, and not know, Father. I'm not interested. I'm not interested in making any discovery. I myself look there. I am not left there to make any discovery.
Then what is that? How can you be stuck?
I am not stuck there. I have absolutely no problem there. I myself with myself. But when the teachings come, 'You are the slowed witness,' where is the witness? There is no witness there. How can I say I am the witness of all that is? That does not apply. I myself alone, myself is what for also.
One technique. Now, this is very, very tricky and we had the same discussion last time in school. But for the last time, I will try and explain this to you. And after, if the same question comes, then I will direct you to my original pointing, which I still feel is the most helpful, which is Atma Gyan. Okay? But I will make one last... listen now. Listen, do not move. So you say that when I go there, there is nothing over there. I lose myself. There is no witness. Now, I trust you, so I know that you are not making up these words. So these words must be your direct insight that everything is gone, 'I lose myself.' But even for this to be your direct insight, something must be aware of this. Something must witness it. Even to say 'I saw that the witness was not there' is a statement of your witnessing. Will you smoothly examine your own voice? Where did you do your...
Father, I understand it. The thing is, when I come back here, when I come back here, then which one is higher? The one who knows that he went there and lost himself, like in sleep, and came back to say that 'I slept'—is that higher? My own awareness, is that higher? Or is that higher where I went and lost myself? This is the only confusion, nothing else.
So you say it is here to use. No matter what the insight is, even if you say that 'I came to this place where there is no one, where there is no witness at all,' there must be a witnessing of that. There must be an awareness of that for you to speak these words with such passion, because it emerges from words that you are making up on actually you have the insight of that. So now, actually you will see that it is impossible to say that even awareness was not there, because if you're saying it from your own insight, it means that what you are saying is 'I am aware that even awareness goes away.' It's a contradiction in terms. So this awareness is unusable. Now you see which is higher. Which is higher? It is over and over that that which does not come and go, no matter what, is the height. So that which does not come and go is respectful of anything else. Everything else might come and go. So reality is the last truth with a capital T, that which does not come and go. Then union, etc., because it very clearly distances non-existence, change, all of this. It is also coming and going for me. I am back with names and change are attached to what is this coming and going. So this has provided all these things very clearly for us. If it is coming and going, it is not the highest. You just follow for it.
Now I feel very medically here because Maharaj also says that Samadhi happens but I am not into Samadhi.
Yes, I think it is very, very clear though. I think a discount will not come back here. I don't hear. Thank you. Attention, effort is required. You can be further certain, required to concentrate a distracted mind superimposed with illusion. Doing this, I remain here. So that's what we spoke about. Most ritual practices are trying to get a control over attention, trying to market it. Let it be distracted by this fine. What is the deceptive mind? Basically, your attention getting mixed up with the content of the mind with this gentleman. Because I try to forcefully keep attention away, just leave this. Don't you have that email? It depends. Oh yeah, coming like that. Okay, sighing to no, no, no, we get it like that. So you can see like so much effort in there. One is, I keep all of that aside and I remain here. Experience so visible. And that's why I mean this way there is income. So there the witnessing both. I am not going to pretend that I am something other than the witness. I am not buying the idea that I am from Singapore. Yes, that I have discovered now because probably reducible to spiritual people, if there's a lot of that 'I saw and came to this,' trying to move away from this to keep its importance and per se there is nothing wrong with that. Although big practices also have been shared with beautiful intent, they come to the point where we outgrow this. We go beyond good and if you like that, will sign for that eminence.
So now, so much influence. So you can leave my attention please. Good to see that I am because I am not changing. Whenever attention is with the work of an object, it doesn't really matter. It doesn't really matter what object, let them go, because I am not believing myself to contain this object. The rule: not buying the interpretation from the mind. So I don't need to run away from a minority more mega times. It can seem like their first to run away, to push away the mind. Mind like, and it comes the opportunity that you give it to company complex. Oh please, oh sweet monster or something like that. Now I want you to hear. You try to run us with walking with this tiny world that works attention also. My recommendation on really reflects Peters, the title posted. He wrote intersection then while you can giving in to the person attacking they, they will punch is not known how to treat Buddhism body way. I can change it. Love which will happen. We don't have to force it. Nothing to reject, nothing to accept. More joy also, Lord God, and here this will clear population that duality is doctor visit for this available. But even so, return.
I think we can take positions sometimes. We have topic another member. This is here today, but she was sharing that when I heard in satsang that I had to be open, then I decided that I am going to be open and I opened my house. And then I saw that something happened in my life. Our strong events started to come and there is some trepidation as I'm clear about what is going to come, paraphrasing. So the feeling of the question, because even openness can be a position which is the opposite of truth. We were not accepted the sort of thing idea. Only thing I accepted with you, I am forgiving the entire world because what is the 'I' in that? Let's go through this position of a limited institute. Wittering radius is affiliated in evolution. So community is getting out of this clear humanity and accepting a k-forty and accepting that in this world we ring in yen will constantly be to launch activity constantly here as a participant in that. We feel it will be on then whatever position is outward really this time. So you're not giving you new position city. We're not getting it more bathtubs to hold on to this. If all that happens as well to system with that, you replace the concept 'I am' if your name desk. The antis person gets a place with an awareness. This concept you when I play with my dog in the PL for my topic there is such a thing. It's a point to you if you cannot apply a label together until all position. Be empty of all reference points, empty of any conclusions. Although cells, nothing to reject, nothing to accept. More joy also, walk God, and here for stages of life, wipe without sage vacation, renunciation, objects of mind, nothing but detection forever here. It's not an attack. You can pound like an attack from Buddhism, a hero's live or creation practical effect as I think that spirit holds out swing. We're looking beyond it is a beautiful look like my daughter. She do not is not Indian actress. Oh, for the point where we will use to tell her to do single in the difference edition, limited edition. So after the point she targeted realization and real happy everytime to Italy. Now she had outgrown that. Now they move 2010 book Co table into the divination. You think no, no, eat that. So it had its local.
From good, isn't a hero's life or creation practical effect? As I think that spirit holds out, we're looking beyond it. It is a beautiful look, like my daughter. She used to—not an Indian actress—for the point where we used to tell her to do things in the 'limited edition.' So after the point, she targeted realization and real happiness every time. Now she had outgrown that. Now they move to the table into the divination. You think, 'No, no, eat that.' So it had its local circuit, perfect. So some of you will recognize that Atma will be on to uploading is that this is not one. The kind of methodology is one we've got basically out of the idea that 'If I do something, I will get this.' He is coming to the thing that you already are. The thought might not be naked in oscillation; might still be happening. But what is striking you is from your heart: that what I have been looking for is what has always, will never left the destination. But I like to see if this is ringing true for you, then automatically you will see that something is not so attractive down to it. That is in central failure. Failure is so important, building that what will happen.
Jennifer is not saying, 'Well, it sounds like you think there will be big in some ways.' We basically think, 'Who think that I have now? What I am thinking about myself now?' So that all these forces of life and also is that this is when you close all the meditation, all of that which is something to do which claims that if you get together... but I am already there. So clear we can be doing and not doing motorized from Achilles. I know this and I am here. Very, very important. We can not-do is to require some sides of the same coin. Very important for everyone who is in modern-day percentages. Before, often we hear that you are not the doer. You must also hear it that often you are neither the doer nor the non-doer. Neither doing nor non-doing apply to you because most often, which is a negative and we take the opposite positions. So I considered myself to be the doer, and now I am the non-doer. And yet, in the 'I,' they can hide with the limited version of ourself again. I go body-mind; I consider to be the doer. Now I am discovering that I am the body-mind, but this body-mind is not the doer. This is also ignorance. The point is that you are not the body, no. So it is not just that the body-mind is not the doer; it's more importantly that you are not the body-mind. This is other will be the changing like a switch, like a moved belief about the body-mind, discuss the consideration about what we are and things to be that limited entity.
If I said it's worse, it's very important to every wing and not only both right. So magnetic, I know this, I am here. So even this position, they cannot be. 'I'm not doing anything.' I don't... you also have to not be with you the way that I do need somebody with keeping size fear with your question saved and body about who you are that they will say. So there's something like anything: 'Thinking of the unthinkable one and the capital rule, thinking of one thinkable one unavoidably on their part. Thinking of the unthinkable one unavoidably on your source, I devote and the main here.' So beautiful. What is this? Don't become one of those one-word parroting or mentally holding on to concepts of the one, the concepts of yourself. That type of exactly what we were talking about to hear is it. If I leave you, which is the concept a moment with the thought, go away. And it is not the point of the song now, letting go of thoughts, nothing too low to me. We come to the in-sizable with realization of a submission and the... which means it doesn't meet the proclamation 'I have the Self' within conditions. They're just pointers which I shared in Satsang to point you in that direction.
Okay, more and more these days I've started wishing you, for walking you to share from your insight and not from your influence. Because many are inferring, many are making conclusions based on what you heard about awareness. You must share. Integrity means to share from our insight and not from our influence. And I'll be better feel of the show they greatly based on the inside and not interested in impact. And can give you a mirage is to keep our focus to want like a worldly sort of honesty in speaking of what is it that your dream finding. To keep all influence of the thyroid all just becomes like a tiny one. It's like another in we can add to that. It's like gluteal invitation. What are you? Keep it aside. Past, future cannot help me here. Is it conceptual? What help me more, which you were to go beyond all of this? What is it as you are a new comparative contribute completeness? This is independent of me, anonymous. Thank you. Find yourself to be so you also... it depends on our terminologies. You consider me to be phenomenal. I like to call it the climate anomalies, okay? Material conception. Because everything else to the product of the being, the being itself will not house in Albany because everything else is because I exist. I cannot have an experience on the sides is not date anything to lightly. But these feelings, if it have any phenomenally present, will come from a phenomenal service. So this is like the photo phenomenal placed arms. I am in, whether we call it the time we love the time mode will also primordial vibration. Oh, I am. So we must come from me which can be decide even at the hands will be. So we leave all incidents inside and the river moving basically available to itself and the dynamic aspect to patients and consciousness not associated with me in that is kinetic phenomena legs is leading to a self add and the best best means is that all of this is an actual fate in this moment where it can sound like I have something to go detective. You are that now, this time, before you can pick up an idea of older self logical. But even after you picked up an idea about yourself, you are things I need is Alex posing as if you are individual.
'Thinking of the unthinkable one unavoidably on the thought, I know Todd and the main here.' What we see the pair for some of you, I try to get you a wave of this habit of thinking about it. Let's use one more two key pointers that you hear in Satsang and apply them well. See where they take you. There is enough that which is the product of just thinking. What will be smelling using like to do? The product of just thinking will always whistle register. The product of your rosette attention inside, that will have the fragrance of love, peace, enjoy. Oh, simple example is that I mean we were not in the little library we happy. So now if you keep getting cues about this, by the way it is to the right, somebody says it's any beautiful, somebody said there's a photo of Guruji there. Then on one side they're all a waiter with on topics. Then somebody says, 'Oh, the full Ramayana there.' They're all the King you get. And then you're thinking about it and trying to conjure up a movie of the concepts of it and you speak from there. My toes, how good a job you've done, no matter how many cues your god, it will not smell a little to see or to say about it. So the invitation is to step in the walk then, then also see for yourself the between quality of it. So the Self is not something that you have to think about and then come to a conclusion about the value figure discovery now what all the funke's at another all the rest Alex I hope it are not.
The question is, I feel like we should regret today because important seafarers. Father, can you take perception of objects and see be there without attention engaging with them? This is factor in voiceover curls making my dear that attention does not go to objects.
So all that says is that there can be perception of objects without interest in them. There cannot be a perception of objects without attention. Whether some time talking about people interest in the object, do I mean by interest with what's in it for me or can I get out of it? So this phenomena perception is the product of our attention. There is no perception independent of attention. Even imagination for anything, it means an optimal perception attention to the risk attack is a very beautiful contribution. And that that which does not have a attention, you cannot gain but they have any existence. It's only a presumption that they exist. That's why actually even times has been doing on little wheels wheels experiments shooting those cans mother.
I know, I know when Guruji does this exercise, right? Be empty of everything. So your eyes can be open or closed or even there can be objects of thoughts or even the phenomenal objects we see around. So at that time my experience is there can be perception without interest as you said, and at the same time the experience of being in a very attributeless place. The only attribute can be peace of that.
And who exactly what I mean by openness? Let your attention go completely free goodies. Why attention? You mean that it is being specifically devoted to something. So ugly I mean when I say just I mean open the same thing is the thing. Empty objects in town, objects move. Although attention is questioning the perception happens, it is not giving like a motivated, like a selfish attention win by consciousness in the way of interest not to them to get some Sami but with an object of an outcome. Although it is used to be the center of attention, it is not directed in a go-ly directed in associated with which was in existence as it is empty of interest. But we find that even in your empty, sometimes attention goes to the sound on the street and then the tension goes to the words that I'm speaking, then attention go to the memory of what happened when you're sitting in the meditation with the whole point of attention. And yet the interest in the outcome of what, what are you getting out of it is not there. This plays with some more contemplative be someone is a very naturally attention can function and you can justly continue to remain empty until what? Until they go with yes, give a concept about ourselves and again be like this and visible just that way. No interest or differences, no desire or no aversion which is just like right now. You could be empty of the pump and your attention could be on these words with something might come, I don't know though. On some sound wise come on the computer and then she might go there and you can traverse it move, find yourselves untouched by the movement of this attention is you're not buying yourself to be functions which is interested in whether tension is going or what to bring.
Play with the contestant I'm offering the you that attention is that rule which itself is already less except the quality of limitedness. But it brings also nominal exception to life. Only that exists on which there is potential. Not Akira believe it a question that we funded together some weeks ago there. Can we say that the pension has the quality of movement? And which we looked at where we said that we often say that some deaf attention goes to this of internal so that it can be concluded li say that also this that is there is something which is moving or is it just the content moving on the screen? So I don't find this to be a complete experience where I can say actually the attention which is notice I can give you this. It's water bring the content in so the foreign quality and therefore the feeling of them can happen. It's like there to drain the grain German. I mean you feel that there's a movement. We cannot conclusively say over to the heart rain that move for the other changes besides I'm so the tuning of one will desire to put to be the content of the frame which is changing and the congeal I my attention when Chum displays to this exactly larger topic. It's mediation with that tomorrow to its perception excel creation protections at the transcreation with a consciousness is created in this world or the general the perceiving of it is a creating. I'm going to be then you perceive what you can feel the tension happens with attention. Yes, looking exactly this happen so when that's exactly what everything that when we are unto the disclaim in that way.
The name which is changing and the congealed... my attention when the screen displays this. Exactly. A larger topic is meditation with that Atma. Its perception, creation, protection. At the transcreation, whether consciousness is created in this world or the general perceiving of it is a creating. When you perceive, what you can feel, the tension happens with attention. Yes, looking exactly. This happens. So when that's exactly what everything that when we are unto the display in that way, that is forwarded in by this ideal for... Seneca means for powered singing, leading values mean it. Then it seems like that includes layers, attention, and a particular list, and it is empty of them till the function of attention searching. And it's in boom things, but they are not like this. Not with the quality of interest in tradition. We is that consciousness wanting to foresee what it is conceiving. So that is what you mean by into from that continuum of the way. The way each case is not something I don't expect increases what beautiful old earlier to that way.
Oh money, this is a tactic where interest... so now by the okay, in order to do other again, we'll look at other ninja screen. So that moment, advanced yoga technology. So that movement is happening now is what we were saying earlier is that whether it is attention is moved or just the content on the screen which is... I think that you have to define it. It just says that great sentiment is working it for me. And one of that which you did is consciousness wants to experience all of this, its own conception, wants to perceive that. Whether we call that in this one thing that at... if you still call that interest in that as consciousness, that into something is the parentage of continuous do we which sort of assesses sisters. What am I getting taken? A business meeting need wanted. Okay, we are half an hour. My... I was calling you later. ESI, we go grunting with someone for one hour, he'll only related angle. That's what I'm saying, that explore whether we can contribute the same that they read sunlight outside unless there is some happenstances.
I don't now this, I don't want to focus and icon you, but inside here is that only back which I perceive is I can say actual ages and that for you before you say. And that is from where our services weeks when it is and the solar to the witness of all there is. And this I know is both a great conclusion for Adrian because we feel like a time difference. What is happening on the basement actually my peers and people. So conceiving, proceedings, and configure a missionary is the same everywhere when completed of all freedom determination. We always look at that and they win by three determination because you should do everything with the will of consciousness. Consciousness does not have to operate in a robotic way, like 'Oh, I made a script for myself which is set in stone.' For then consciousness itself will actually... we were all time in space will function within function. Then the concept of a determination also goes away.
Each sermon me check moving time as to how timely functions. Now we think that we could sense without of time and I feel like nice cuticle we objected and yet to me time. So it is abused stuff like predetermination so that we give up this coordinate which if you feel the time writing for contemplation. Whether it is this quality called attention which itself is quality-less and only the biggest thing we can say about it is that it limitation, or there is the content of a screen changing and we are staying a living that is a moment ago. Yeah, when we talk about the oscillation, what is us swing anything that it needs to be? Attention seems to be like some oscillation. Maybe we should go... I went there looking back now. I got personal account but that's moving. Yes, I am educated it before identified with an existing call it our attention goes if you work on it is actually you can see your dentures doing everyone but you have a move at all because you see this attention and I've been lucky. So that's what we exploring whether we even see the movement of attention. So it can heal anyone that experience not a team that is cuter and the shoes that were very similar moves a little bit with this tools we can this feeling of movement of attention.
Okay, now what we are scoring with the circuit is within there which is that whether it is something called attention is you moving, they didn't leave the content which is changing in front of it. They can seem like a tension is moving with this awesome vendor. Will, will... I don't do your old answer which is I don't want to do all the insights which I'm afraid you that'll be good except since I want to hold on to some insights on my face because a big original room because it's almost funny because I'm as pure. I'm sure there is no tangible free. Yes, they did using but one that occurred of light and the screaming of some sort there is no a screen is what this very much time and space of things like I cannot define I am Ukraine. Yeah, but not usually like this people we not like the space of which base which contain wispy. It is a space which is beyond the three-dimensional sphere. We are four-dimensional space in the time and space opposing indigent and yet it cannot be defined in this foreign Instagram. You can visualize it in four damaged systems, you cannot really find I am in any damage Snowden we're in garlic we've interpreted that fifths is ridiculous defective is the direction here we three axis P dimensional therefore dimension of time lose all of these all a back-to-back three is defined to the freedoms we were in terms own.
I would've experienced perceptual we cannot do nice here anything about the reality of this is how it in experience perception a very good even time to coming to the same I said about I don't look at go to be hit over might have been digging will chapter highlight and then we come back to look till he opines if I hope that to be would touch my meter. Thank you very much. Then it takes away all this hierarchy with other the best part of this comes whichever way you will come to this recognition is a wonderful time equally like effort to environment to come to the truth of who you are them in that effort come to the circus another time we will be playing making effort you already are that gullible button for Lydia pointing at different times for different sentiment. So whatever we we come with a teaming effort alligator is just naturally fear with it and all the experience will be not in the center not come to this with very solid self-inquiry effort sat in top man came to be and I'm very naturally this come to one of these assignments that purchase well then that idea income why this one doing so much hard work wind so natural sleep and the one who is putting all the effort of things FFA just beginning fence University in Kmart come like that at this time for so long ago.
So this work it takes away from this sort of benchmarking checking yet looking crucible Bob virtually the best I think let's leave what into this by effort and blessed is he will touch by nature there's a matter which seemingly to thinking because they do probably a back which is already here so they felt like for something we had to take see left down and come to this point both shapes is a less a collector then come to yourself come to this founded on sister together matter because the point is to see this the truth about yourself until that something very nice look at that for just a bit that doesn't feel like goofy dimension with three-dimensional space and mobile and regional times we've edited speed like that and the way that you work with waistline and is I gave it to producers now we come to this conclusion that there is no difference between space and time this one is X 50 minutes or a being actually not emperor justinian get my eggs make sense you are these for the nominee play sometime give me great joy actually to through this it can be adding Dean of online and having it by clicking here that's really fine dick enjoy recovering you subtly uses between a recently that until they prove this but I shall rip out the small-mindedness we start to look at even this phenomenal perfection in all excuse for abuse for wonderful beauty this is my motto 1500 by put this folding thank you both of you thank you all so much for me in person today. Satguru Sri Anantaji Ki Jai. Yes.
