What is Naturally Present Here? - 3rd November 2017

What you're saying is that right now, what you are, just become aware of this and don't be interpreted. Don't judge it in any way. Let all judgments come and go. Everything for this recognition is already here. You don't have to move, don't have to change anything at all. What is naturally present here? Before all sensations, I am. Before all experience, I am. The thing is, you don't have to create this 'I am' and nothing that you will do will change this 'I am'. Your original nature will remain even if you wear the mask of personality, of personhood. Nothing in reality is affected by it because this is what you are. And in the play, as you are not picking up these false notions, the truth is completely apparent and it is wordless. You don't have to say, you don't have to say that you are aware of your existence here; it is naturally there. No proclamation is needed.

So much good news for you because as the false is dropped, the true is apparent. And you don't even have to do anything to drop the false. Can everything be simpler than this? And if you're still holding on to that same old notion, 'Oh, the trouble is because it is too simple,' forget this one also. Forget it. It served its purpose. You saw it is simple; now don't be enamored by it. Forget. Don't take any position about anything at all because all your positions mean just the mask of God. Any position that you take is the mask of God. God pretending to be a limited entity. God pretending to be only this and not that.

Then you will see that in this entire appearance, you will not be able to draw a dividing line saying 'this is me' and 'this is other'. And yet, even worldly conversations can continue. The words can arise from your mouth saying 'this is what happened to me,' 'how are you today?' Using that naturalness doesn't have to go. But truly, you will not be able to find this separate meaning and you will not have the notion of another. All of this has just been conditioning. We have learned this; now we are unlearning it. Unlearn your favorite notion because your favorite notions are creating this, pretending to create the small ego out of you. But your reality is just here, effortlessly.

Meet me without effort, then we meet as one. Meet me without pretense. This is our true meeting. Don't pick up the seeker for a bit. Don't pick up the questioner for a bit. Don't pick up the one who has understood for a bit. Remain naked, open. Don't know anything here. The truth is clear. Our devotion is independent of your pretense of being a devotee. Your love is independent of your idea of being a lover. Don't take any position with anything at all and you will find that naturally everything that needs to happen, even in the worldly appearance, is happening. You can do nothing about your hearing; it is just happening. You are not doing your sight; it is just there. Because these are just the automatic, spontaneous arisings out of your own existence, your own consciousness, which is effortlessly present.

The God is effortlessly present. What more do you want to add to that? God is here and this God is motionless. Whatever notion that you might have of God, forget about them. We don't use them in that way. Pretend as if it is a new word that you are hearing without any cultural, religious, or spiritual conditioning. It is a word for your being. Your existence has no limit, no boundary, no shape, no size. Just I am. What is aware of this 'I am'? Who am I? You are noticing that there is no trouble when you remain motionless, conceptless. Therefore, the only trouble is: I am addicted to picking up a notion, addicted to picking up a concept.
