We Are Emptying out All Concepts - 7th November 2017

We don't make any conclusion about it because we're emptying out all places, all concepts where you can make a conclusion about yourself and rest on that. And this way, now, 'I'm shopping more' or 'I'm picking a place'—you can't make any of these conclusions. No interpretation about yourself is valid because actually we don't know any of this. We don't really know whether there was a past at all. You don't know whether you actually came here on a bike or a car at all. Just like in a dream, you land in a dream. It could be the first dream moment you're experiencing, but does it feel like you start every dream with amnesia? You recognize the people around you. Somebody was asking, 'How did you get here?' if this was the first moment of your dream, and I said, 'How did you get here?'

Yes, Father, I came in the vehicle.

It's completely possible for us to have this interaction in that which is the same as this, which we call the dream state also. So we don't know anything about the past, and this one will readily admit to. We don't know what the future is going to be like, so better not to have any conclusion even about what happened or that you who came on the bike. Exactly. So we are making a conclusion about some other... this is the thing, you don't even have to do all this exercise when you see that you are into all conclusions just now. And I'm here to hold your hand through this period of groundlessness. Without a concept, 'How can I survive? What will happen to my life?' The fear of death, the fear of the unknown—in many ways it comes like this. And our motivation usually is to hold onto these concepts. 'Oh, I didn't understand something, you know, I want to hug that and stay with that, whatever knowledge I've picked up.' Yeah, then there's also a reaction to that fear itself.

But very few will tell you in this world that I'm not teaching you anything else. All the words that are being used here are so that you can empty your conceptual baggage, not to make a new religion out of this. Empty yourself of all conceptual baggage. If it is shaky and if you feel like you need to hold someone's hand, hold mine. If you want to hold my hand, it is all fine physically if you are there, but I'm here to tell you that if you go through this groundlessness for a little bit, you start to get used to it.
