The Master is in Service to Your Longing for Truth - 30th June 2017

I was saying yesterday that it is apparent, actually, how powerless the parent is compared to the children. Usually, when you have children, you realize that the power rests with the children and they have you wrapped around their finger. Usually, in the same way, the Master might seem to have some power or something, but it is occurring in service to your longing for the Truth. It's just here to serve. This inward turning that is happening for you all, that is in charge here. With my Father's grace, I am just here for this: for you to come to your discovery of the Satguru within you.

To have some representation of your inner presence, because you are so used to relating to form, we need the outer form to come and speak in a voice which you find familiar. You feel like, 'This is the voice of my own heart,' because it is. This point is a very good point. This authoring instrument is elemental to being a servant to this longing to turn inward to your presence, to your being. Then you find that the outer and the inner are not two. There are not two Anantas. So then the discovery, as we also talked about this yesterday, is that the light and the outer, as we discover it, once there is discovery, finally there is no distinction. Everything actually is within your being. There is nothing that you perceive which is outside of your being, outside of your presence.

My job, if there is such a thing, is to answer this, to serve you in this way so that you see what you truly are. It's completely inclusive of everything. The mind has one function, which is to say that you are separate. The mind likes to divide us into compartments. But your presence is the voice of unity, the voice of inclusion, not excluding anything. It is the voice of acceptance. The dropping of the resistance to what is, is a big celebration. It actually signifies you fully bowing down to your inner presence. The Satguru will reveal continually to itself.

The other day on Facebook, a student who I have loved for many years posted a video saying, 'Why get up?' What I meant by that was, when I'm at your feet, I experience so much peace, so much love, and I'm benefiting from such joy. Why get up? In itself, it is sufficient. It is the Satguru who sat here. To experience all this peace while being together is very beautiful. But if you're just looking at it phenomenally as bodies, then it can seem like, 'What kind of question is that?' But 'Why did you get up?' symbolizes something else.

If you say that you surrender, what if you take that surrender relationship and say, 'My body and the Master can deal with all of this'? Then what is the surrender for? It is just something that we do. 'Why do you get up?' means only this. I used to say often that between inquiry and surrender, they are not actually two. Conceptually, I used to favor surrender, but the faster you realize for yourself, the intellect and the mind are so deeply ingrained. So this letting go of everything now—'Everything is my Master's problem, come what may'—seems more difficult to you than anything else. We would rather have spiritual practices, things to do, and all of this. But it's pointed out in Satsang only so that we can come to this non-resistive letting go, this play of the world, letting go of this idea that the Satguru cannot run this life, that there has been somebody here individually that has been doing all of this and that one will now achieve something and get to some freedom or liberation.
