Nothing Can Deter That Which You Already Are - 4th April 2016

Nachi says, if this is all a dream, then would Satsang help in awakening since it is also happening in a dream? Then she said, I suffer from mood disorder and my mind is never calm. Would this deter me from realizing my true nature?

Your true nature is here right now. Before the mood can have a disorder or change modes, or the mind can come and tell you about something, you are already here. Something can be a deterrent only if you had to get somewhere. Because you are already here, you are already the truth, nothing can deter you.

Before all of this, before this mood comes—the layer called moods—before the thoughts, before emotions, before the body, you are. Before it is your mood, your body, your thoughts, your emotions, this 'I' is already here. It's already true. This is the truth which cannot be deterred. Therefore, the self-inquiry can work irrespective of what the circumstances of life are, what emotional states are going on. As long as there is an urge to find the truth, then nothing can deter you from seeing what you are right now, because you are it already.
