Separation Doesn´t Exist NOW - 12th July 2016

How many of us see that nothing the mind is selling us is meaningful? Let's see some hands. No? Now, how many of you feel now that nothing the mind is telling us is relevant or meaningful or the truth? And for any of you who don't feel that this is true, you will find satsang very frustrating and irritating because every day I am telling you this. And many times it can feel like, 'Yes, yes, this is true.' You recognize it intuitively, but somewhere subtly we are still holding some ideas.

See, that's why I feel that that exercise we did the other day—we looked at... did you do it like this? We looked at various aspects of our lives and see what beliefs we could have. Yeah? He said, 'Okay, what are the relationships you have?' Do a quick audit of them in your head and see what beliefs you're still carrying about them. Same way we go for every aspect of life: about money, about health of the body, and about being free. You must not hide from this because one of the most revealing moments in life here, or that moment that I realized before I met Guruji, is to read A Course in Miracles a little bit. And that has a statement saying, 'Love holds no grievances.' I had heard it even before, but in that moment something failed to check, and one by one I realized that everyone who is in my life, I have a grievance against them.

It can seem very, 'No, I don't.' But when you start checking, you have these grievances. And as I started checking, I realized that all this talk of love really holds no water because we are believing some ideas. And as long as we are believing ideas, this oneness, this sameness, even cannot be there. And as long as we have ideas, then our love is just another fancy word for expectations or needs. And I can tell you that I don't feel that the ego can survive unless it has a grievance. There are a few main pillars to this ego: one is this victim mindset, grievances; second is this doership. You take out one of these pillars and you see everything else will collapse.

Allow the world to be free completely. Allow the movement of this body-mind also to be completely free because that is also part of the world. It is not I as the body-mind which is forgiving the world. I in truth am forgiving the world, which includes this body-mind. Then no guilt, no pride, no grievances. Because I know the mind will come and say, 'But then I will become so irresponsible, and what about all those people who are causing so much harm to the world?' And all of those things will come. The typical mind resistances will come.

I will be holding on to this false identity through the idea that I am doing something or somebody is doing something. The idea that I can suffer from something, I can be the victim of something in my relationships, in my life, in the idea of this spiritual journey—'I am getting somewhere, making progress.' Basically, in anything which the mind is saying, it is just to keep your sense of separation alive. It doesn't exist now. Now, it doesn't exist now. You have to work to become, to pretend to be separate. You have to work.
