If It Needs Belief, It Is Not True - 4th February 2016

There's one beautiful video actually in which Guruji says just all you have to do is 3, 2, 1, drop it. See? Just like that. That's it. How to drop it? Just by dropping it. Because if you let the mind come in there and say 'This is too difficult' or 'I don't know how to do it'... yesterday was like that, we had this in Satsang also, and then I had a call with someone after Satsang also. And this sense was there that 'How do I not believe?' The same thing is 'How do I drop it?' And if you let that in, if you don't drop that, then you have to apply some other medicine.

If it is like this, then all I can say is just don't resist anything at all. Allow everything through. No resistance of anything which is arising, including actions coming from our own body. I say like this always because when we hear 'allow everything,' it seems like I'm saying just be passive, allow everything, let the world do anything it wants to you, something like that. The mind builds this kind of story, you see, that I'm proposing some sort of passivity. But what I'm proposing is much deeper than that. I'm saying that there is no doer here anyway. So the allowing means the allowing of everything, the entire appearance.

There is no separation between this body and the rest of the appearance unless we start labeling it. What makes it seem separate is that the sensations which we call coming from our body, they seem to belong to this body and more intimate to us. Actually, this is as much of an appearance as the rest of it. It's not like the hand is something outside of this; it's part of the same appearance. So allow everything means including this appearance which we call the body. And mostly all of you will realize that all these actions happening through the body also just happening on their own.

You can check this now actually. I say, okay, do something. I say, I can do, I move my hand. I can do, I move my hand. See? But the hand moved and the mind came to take credit for that movement. How did the thought move the hand? Who is the 'I' that took the thought and then said, 'Okay, yes, this is what I will do and I did it'? And we know also this, that even scientifically, the thought comes later than actually the nerves start moving, the movement of the hand starts. But even if you presume that there is a decision maker, can we find that one? And then some of you might say, 'But it is the brain that is deciding.' If the brain is deciding, then are you the brain? How do you tell the brain to decide? Cannot find the doer any which way.

Then you say, 'Okay, brain is me actually.' Then leave it to the brain. If the brain already has all the knowledge and knows what to do, then what are you struggling about? This sense of doership, the sense of 'what to do' also creeps into the very primal instructions like 'just stay open, don't believe the next thought.' And it comes and says, 'How do I do that?' But it's not a doing. And if it feels like 'I don't know how to do it,' then forget it. Don't bother yourself up with it. I know many of you struggle with this sense that 'I'm not able to follow the pointing what he's saying.' Don't have to. Forget it. Your being in Satsang is enough. And even that, even if you're not in Satsang actually, ultimately you will see what you are. But my job is to say your being in Satsang is enough.
