The true disciple is not being a disciple. Understood what I said? The true disciple is not being a disciple, is not becoming a better disciple. A disciple is empty of identity. He is like the infant child. Is the infant child being an infant child? So, in the same way, the best disciple is one who is empty of all such, including 'disciple'. Empty of the concept of being empty of 'disciple' also. I have to tell you this because I know the nature of the mind. Decide that when you pick up this aspect of it, forget both the offices and the main. Like an innocent child now.
I don't feel like in all of us, right away, Ram Ji... there is a concept which you don't know. See, you know every concept there is, you know really. But when push comes to shove, then the rubber hits the road. What happens to all of these? If I answer to you, or you are aware and see, and it just becomes the concept for you, all these concepts get thrown out the window. Then you have to leave the house and go to flights. All these concepts are born easy. So let's have that honesty and say these are not helping.
All I can do, because in my expression it is playing like this at this moment, is that all that I can do is give this infant child in my mother's lap. I say something like that, infant child in mother's lap, and you say, 'My access is there, Shiva, other than this Maya.' You see the giant of all of it? This is what I meant by... and it is not a... but it is not countering what the Guru's words are, but it is upending. If you like, something is smart enough to upend something so that can then become also resistance. Feel like in the most astounding, most beautiful sounding concepts, you are not finding your freedom from suffering, and I am pointing you so directly to that.
And also their own data, and this is exactly what I meant. I know already that you know everything there is to know, but this knowledge is of no value to me right now. I would like to discuss it one day with you, and we will. That day will also come because I enjoy, I enjoy these concepts, you know that. Okay? But not at this moment, because it is not in service to you right now. What life is showing you is your true innocence of a child, making a baby out of you. See whether your mind agrees or not. So then accept, say, 'This is how your life is.' Without the Satguru, without the Guru's words, without His will, nothing is moving. Come into acceptance of them all.
The first and the end, well for them, all the categorization of the divine presence, using 'other one' and so on, and Guruji and Father... all of this food is not helping you. You might feel like it is. Isn't this one divine presence trying to convey to you the same thing in all the current expressions which you may category? Then you say, 'Okay, I know this, this is this, and I know that is that, and I know who my two masters is.' And what work? Then you're not in the presence and see what life gives you then. This is getting squeezed out of us, all that habit. This is the product, in some ways, the negative byproduct of spiritual knowledge.

Everything in this world of duality has... go further than the term who is something you can feel this. You're giving up on every concept and coming back to the innocence of a baby. Use that concept. You need only one. The one has given you, then we meet with integrity. Otherwise, I'm meeting a version of you, this part of the play, and I'm okay to play. He has a limited time. Time is nothing but a toy here. But something here feels to you your pain. When you cry, it might feel like I am trying to chop you. You are... sometimes my children have this complaint to me that Father is too blunt, he is whatever I say, he stops me. Why? Because your tears, they hurt something here. Is it? So I did not have that feeling, then I would not enjoy a talk about all the fans here with the concepts. I don't mind this includes our full library of what we... the concepts we know this, we do that.
When push comes to shove and when the rubber hits the road, let me help you that. Feel like you have the support of the Master with you. Doing that, it is being counterproductive. It is getting squeezed out. The Truth is not tolerating any of this from you. I can see, if I wonder whether you see, it is not tolerating any. I see Maya is occupied long and ways being illegal. It is... see, this life doesn't want to... it is squeezing all of this out of you, making you innocent like a baby. And there is time. Time will become your blessing, don't worry about you. Okay? As you become empty of this 'you', as you now more and more in your own words which you know are true, all you have to do is abide in the Master's words. All you know is less than the divine presence. Without the protection, judgment, without any organization of... empty, empty of all of it. Then we meet at one. Then we laugh at all these funny categorizations and committees.
I also enjoy very much sometimes where we go to you guys and I enjoy myself very much, but I would be happier if all of this was helping you. And there, about hitting the road, I see that in your case—and again, not to make any concept out of any of this also—your case, life is operating like it is called a museum, cutting off everything that you can show to it. All your ideas about working more is operating like that, making you a baby out of you. They crying for milk, all baby making, it is happening. So I can see it. So I'm the pediatrician maybe in this case. I am saying, what is causing all of these people, my dear child, only to cry? All you have to do is obey all of this, and I've been thinking this for some time now.
You have to say, 'I abide by the Guru's words, I abide by my word.' I asked you, what does it mean to have your hand? That fee and future economic and the knives... I am at a Master's feet. You will point to yet, that is where the Master... do what in Bangalore, not in any other. All of these are representations of the divine presence which do not tolerate any of this childish idea of the session. We hear the words of you over here, the multiline, or am I Alpha, move a new word, smell of them. I've been hearing them as much as you like. Right now, I will not hear them because people right now, this is not how life is given.
