It Is Simple Because It Is Ever Present - 8th January 2018

It has to be this simple. Somebody said, "It can't be this simple." It has to be this simple because what have you seen about the truth? It must be that which is ever-present. How can the ever-present take getting to? Can we today demolish the idea of getting to freedom? As in, "I'll get it when I deserve it," "I don't know whether I got it," "I got something, is this it?" You have not got it. You will not get to it. You have not got it. You will not get to it. You are it. It's inescapable.

Now you can choose to wear the mask of limitation or not. That getting implies it is something outside. If you are the Self—and we looked at today, I said, "Okay, lose yourself." So we'll go together finding it. Did somebody succeed in losing it? What, the Self? How to lose it? This world you might lose, this body you might lose, all your thoughts you might lose, all your feelings you might lose, all sensation you might lose, but you, the one that lost all of that, will still be there.

Why? Why? Oh, who doesn't it stop? Me? How? Why? Question: why doesn't it stop? Who doesn't it stop?

With the Self, go on a search. Who is searching now? Okay, who? I have good news for you if you are willing to listen to it now. The search is gone. One moment, consciousness makes itself infantile, you see, like a baby. That's why Kabir Ji said only the babes will enter the kingdom of heaven. Child-like innocence comes over us because all our grown-up strategies have stopped working. You tried all these devious approaches, and when you run out of moves, you become like a baby. A baby is not figuring out where the next eating will come from; it's completely open to whatever happens.

This running out of moves, the tiredness of the seeking—they've tried all the biggie approaches there are, and in that moment you hear: but you are already all that you will ever be. And it doesn't become part of your program, part of your strategy.
