Instead of Trying to Find the Being, Try to Stop Being - 23rd January 2018

Only if you still feel like you cannot find this Being—it sounds beautiful, but is he talking about anyone like this? Even if you're feeling what we try to admit that when you feel it's true about you, I've given a tool for this, which is: instead of trying to find the Being, try to stop being. Don't exist. And soon you will find that that is absurd, because naturally you are present. This presence is the perfume of your own existence, of your Being. So stay with these presents to give you the portion and the source of the procurement is clear.

I am not something. Something has always been an ocean, an ideal, and it is calm. You're finding that all appearances—the currents of this body which seem so much intimate to you, the appearance of all of these other bodies, the appearances of all these places and spaces—all these are just movements of light and sound designed in such a way to make it feel like something can continue. But actually, it is always just contained on your own screen, on your own Being, in your own light. And this is your very experience.

We have never experienced the world without you being there. You might have experienced the world, you know, in the body experience or out-of-body experience. The body could be there or not there. You could have a death-in-life experience or near-death experience, but for whatever experience there is, you have to be there. Your existence is undoubtable. So it is this 'I am,' this Being. In this fire, in this play, it has been confused to be 'I am something limited,' 'I am something with a boundary,' 'I am something which had a start and will have an end.'

There is nobody who has continued to play with these notions and not suffer. That is also part of the design of the play itself. Disagree with lights, then this evening suffering also comes as a result of that. That is just after point, you see. It urges too much hard work—so much energy goes in picking up notions about yourself. No energy goes in resting as well. Maybe I said that Satguru and Self are the same. So let me say God is here, or some Guru is here, Self is here, or the enlightened Being is here, all the time here. Christ is here. It doesn't matter; the words don't matter. You are here.

And this 'you' has misunderstood—let's say at least the game of misunderstanding has been played—so that these words not be just some words about you and you pick up some concepts about them. In this, your tasted experience, you are the limitless Self, time-bound delusion.
