In This Holy Moment Now, Recognize Your Source - 7th July 2017

So just because the tail is wagging—sensations, emotions, thoughts, energy is moving—what is the greater that you are discovering about yourself? The source of the tail must be greater than the tail. But the tail is attached to this. It must be greater than the tail. What gives the power to the tail to move? It must be greater than the tail. Which is that? Because it wags, it seems to get all our attention. We say, 'This must stop.' Why does it have to stop? The dog is fine. So let this dynamic be on its own. Nobody has ever controlled it anyway. These are myths. An individual entity never controlled this. All, therefore, all is the will of God. If we live in a heart that is the Satguru's will, know God's will, and it must be here that if it is God's will, then it cannot be the will of anyone else, because there is actually no one else. All there is, is Consciousness. For all there is in the next existence.

We're feeling that over the years—again, it's not meant to be a goodbye Satsang—over the years we have given pointers which are very simple and straightforward. Know that you cannot become miserable unless you withdraw from this. Anytime is a remission. Know that there is no freedom for the 'cat.' The identity is not becoming free. It is just Consciousness has been playing with an identity. Just now it has grown out of it, just like children play with an imaginary friend. It is not the imaginary friend that becomes free; it is the child who becomes tired of playing with this. Move to that reality.

There are two aspects of oneself. The bigger aspect, the PDA—which we can't really even say 'big' because it is beyond time and space—is awareness ephemeral. The moving, the changing aspect is this small, cold theorem. Know that you are free right now, before the concept of 'now,' before even the checking with 'I am free or not,' before any notion of freedom. Therefore, all spiritual practices are only managed so that we can come home to this truth. The truth of what you always have been, which is unlike anything else we do in this world. Because anything else we do in this world... so if you do practice, like we go to the gym working out so that you can build some muscle, so it is a phenomenal change which is expected. You go to school so that you can learn a lot of concepts, so it adds to an encyclopedia of concepts.

True spiritual power is not to make you into something new or add on something to you. It is only so that you can come to the recognition of what you are actually. The purpose of motion back this is to bring you into this moment now, with a little bit of inward turning of attention to see whether there is anything besides this nominal appearance. In this holy moment now, recognize your own source. Where do you come from? Where will you go?

This body is a beautiful instrument given by Consciousness to itself to experience this world in this intimate, experiential way. Don't try to resist the body; have an inclusive acceptance of it. But don't allow the mind to convince you that you are limited by the same. We allow all sensations, emotions, thoughts, everything to appear and disappear. But don't be quick to assent to the notion that you are limited by these, that you are suffering from the heat, that something needs to change about them for you to become free.

Observe that one of the tricks of the mind is to play as if it is helping you on the path to freedom. It is checking every day based on the nominal appearances, based on the quality of your feelings, based on what type of thoughts are arising. It is giving you a report card about your freedom. Know that this report card is all about the past. In this able present now, you are unreported, uncheckable.

Remember that if you are to rely on something, rely on your insight rather than an interpretation or an inference. What do you find yourself to be, and not what you judge yourself to be or infer yourself to be on the basis of some emotion? In this play of Master and disciple, Father and child, I know that the destination is a foregone conclusion. I know that all of you will come to that which you are longing for, this truth. The destination is a foregone conclusion because you never left. You have never left the destination.

And yet, as a Father, every Father wishes that their child has a beautiful journey. So I wish you all the best in this name, for joy, for peace, as you walk in this journey towards that which has always been. By Father's grace, let's say every step, His presence lights up all our lives. May you find complete rest at His lotus feet. Surrender all your burdens, all your heavy baggage. You leave this on today with nothing on your back, not even... there is no resentment, no guilt. Give all of this today to me as your gift to me, as your Dakshina. Allow a joyful life. And may all those who come into your presence also be touched by the truth that you are discovering about yourself.

Moojiji always says the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree, and the Sangha is truly a reflection of the Master. Great gratitude for this beautiful Sangha. And I actually feel that this expression of Ananta is just your reflection, the purity of the longing for the truth of the Self. May this expression always be at the service of those with this longing in them. Give your Father this blessing today: that he continues to serve at the lotus feet of his Master and to bring those who are ready for this truth. May you always be in service to all of you. Thank you all so much for everything. Always to say that I love you is not enough of an expression of what I feel. Moojiji ki Jai.
