Tell Your Problem How Big Your Guru Is - 27th November 2017

Being is the light of this universe. Within your being, such qualities appear: sound, light, gravity, objects, space, fire. What are all these elements? All these are here because you are. And when you have had enough of the play of this experience, all this vanishes, and yet you are. What is this beautiful dance of phenomenality and non-being? We take existence for granted and the non-existent to be our reality. But this non-existent person, I ask of all your attention: where exists this existence? How do you exist right now? How did you wake up? This one who woke up, this is interesting. The mind's description cannot work at all. Where did you come from?

In worldly terms, my dearest ones, there is no better place to be than to be deep in the ocean of your being. Put another way: nothing is worth exchanging your reality for. I am being from what is here. Such good news here. No beingness, they are all words for the same. We exchange that for the creation we see, and then purchase some idea. It's not a good deal. I have a 'but' for the party. When the mind says 'but,' they say 'but God is here obviously, but...' No objection can be stronger than this.

As the other day I shared this very simple and stuff with me, very beautiful, that: don't tell your Guru how big your problem is; tell your problem how big your Guru is. That's the whole point of having a Satguru. If you have a Guru and then you have to make up the entities that have to deal with the problems, what's the use? You can either have a small 'i' or you can have a 'we.' I saw this was posted to the wall today, but the heart wouldn't get it without the context.

If you have a 'way,' which means 'I want to do something,' your 'way'—this is the way I'm going to get freedom, this is the way my life has to go, this is the way—then you don't really have a Guru. At least not in your heart; you have not accepted it. To have a Guru means that this life is his or her problem. And you know the funny thing? That it has always been that way anyway. But the experience of it, the taste of this life, seems to have a different quality. A surrendered life seems to have much more sweetness, even in the pain. There is no sweetness in the life that is dominated by 'my way.' This 'mine' and 'anyway' is the big, big fallacy in this something.
