Just a Simple Looking (Without Conclusion) - 9th October 2016

Who are you before you have the urge to go to the conclusion about who you are? You see, because our habit is what? Our way of knowledge has been worldly knowledge, you see. So what happens is we study something and then we make a conclusion about it and then we feel like, 'I know something.' This is different from that. This is only the living experience is possible, but we cannot draw a conclusion out of it. And I know the mind must be rushing to make conclusions, you see, and the conclusion takes you away from the fresh looking. See, so don't make any conclusion about what you're seeing, what you're finding.

And I've given you the tools. So when I ask you the question: Can you stop being now? See, and pretend as if you're hearing this question for the first time and check. Try to stop being. Don't say, 'No, no, I tried, I know, no, I can't stop.' Don't say that now. Try to stop being now. Don't be for a moment, for an instant. You will find more joy in this than in a mental conclusion of knowing the right answer. Because what does the mind come and say? It says, 'Yes, yes, you know that you are being, but where are the... where are the children of being?' But it is that mental conclusion also that has to be thrown away. See? Can you stop being? And as these words come here, here also there's an attempt to see: Can I stop being? Is it... can we stop being?
