00:13
be content with what you are sure of and
00:17
the only thing you can be sure of is I
00:21
am stay with it and reject everything
00:26
else this is yoga all you need is to
00:40
listen remember and ponder it is like
00:47
taking food all you can do is to bite
00:52
off chew and swallow all else is
00:56
unconscious and automatic
00:59
[Music]
01:06
all is of the mind and you are not the
01:11
mind the mind is born and reborn not you
01:18
[Music]
01:21
the mind creates the world and all the
01:25
wonderful variety of it just like in a
01:29
good play you have all sorts of
01:32
characters and situations so you need a
01:35
little of everything to make a world
01:45
don’t identify yourself with the world
01:49
and you will not suffer
01:56
[Music]
02:00
make your world perfect by all means if
02:05
you believe in God work with him if you
02:10
do not become one either see the world
02:16
as a play or work at it with all your
02:19
might
02:20
or both
02:29
[Music]
02:31
identity individuality uniqueness they
02:38
are the most valuable aspects of the
02:40
mind yet
02:42
of the mind only I am all there is to is
02:48
an experience equally valid the
02:52
particular and the universal are
02:55
inseparable they are the two aspects of
03:00
the nameless as seen from without and
03:04
from the thin
03:08
unfortunately words only mentioned but
03:11
don’t convey try to go beyond the words
03:21
what dies with the death the idea I am
03:27
this body dies the witness does not
03:38
a liberated man is extremely law-abiding
03:42
but his laws are the laws of his real
03:45
self not of his society these he
03:50
observes or breaks according to
03:53
circumstances and necessity but he will
03:57
never be fanciful and disorderly
04:07
if you look into living process closely
04:12
you will find cruelty everywhere for
04:16
life feeds on life this is a fact but it
04:22
does not make you feel guilty about
04:24
being alive you began a life of cruelty
04:29
by giving your mother endless trouble to
04:33
the last day of your life you will
04:36
compete for food clothing shelter
04:40
holding on to your body fighting for its
04:43
needs wanting it to be secure in a world
04:47
of insecurity and death from the animals
04:56
point of view being killed is not the
04:59
worst form of dying surely preferable to
05:02
sickness and senile decay the cruelty
05:07
lies in the motive not in the fact
05:11
killing hurts the killer not the killed
05:24
[Music]
05:34
all happens according to your faith and
05:38
your faith is the shape of your desire
05:43
when I say I am I do not mean a separate
05:48
entity with a body as its nucleus I mean
05:53
the totality of being the ocean of
05:57
consciousness the entire universe of all
06:00
that is and knows I have nothing to
06:05
desire for I am complete forever can you
06:14
touch the inner life of other people I
06:18
am the people all beings are in me
06:32
the real cannot be described it must be
06:37
experienced all is one however much we
06:48
quibble and all is done to please the
06:52
one source and goal of every desire whom
06:55
we all know as the I am what is the root
07:05
of pain ignorance of yourself what is
07:10
the root of desire the urge to find
07:13
yourself all creation toils for itself
07:17
and will not rest until it returns to it
07:24
it can return whenever you want it
07:30
by all means help the world you will not
07:34
help much but the effort will make you
07:37
grow there is nothing wrong in trying to
07:41
help the world when the time comes for
07:46
the world to be helped
07:47
some people are given the will the
07:51
wisdom and the power to cause great
07:53
changes the sense I am is the
08:04
manifestation of a deeper cause which
08:07
you may call self God reality or by any
08:13
other name
08:22
you must realize first of all that you
08:26
are the proof of everything including
08:29
yourself none can prove your existence
08:33
because his existence must be confirmed
08:37
by you first your being and knowing you
08:43
Oh nobody remember you are entirely on
08:48
your own you do not come from somewhere
08:53
you do not go anywhere you are timeless
08:58
being and awareness give up the idea of
09:07
being what you think yourself to be and
09:10
there will be no gap by imagining
09:15
yourself as separate you have created
09:18
the gap you need not cross it just don’t
09:22
create it all is you and yours there is
09:27
nobody else this is a fact
09:41
words don’t matter what matters is the
09:45
idea you have of yourself for it blocks
09:49
you give it up you must not be compelled
10:02
to think the same thoughts again and
10:06
again move on
10:09
[Music]
10:13
don’t be childish it’s easier to change
10:18
than to suffer grow out of your
10:22
childishness that is all everything
10:31
happens all the time but you must be
10:35
ready for it
10:36
readiness is ripeness you do not see the
10:41
real because your mind is not ready for
10:44
it unready means afraid you are afraid
10:51
of what you are your destination is the
10:55
whole but you are afraid that you will
10:59
lose your identity this is childishness
11:03
clinging to the toys to your desires and
11:07
fears opinions and ideas give it all up
11:12
and be ready for the real to assert
11:14
itself
11:18
[Music]
11:22
you are moving into the future all the
11:26
time whether you like it or not your
11:39
mind does move in the now you are both
11:43
the movable and the immovable so far you
11:48
took yourself to be the movable and
11:50
overlooked the immovable turn your mind
11:55
inside out overlooked the moveable and
11:58
you will find yourself to be the
12:00
ever-present changeless reality
12:05
inexpressible but solid like a rock
12:11
[Music]
12:20
pain is transient you are not you are
12:32
conscious hold on to it in the abeyance
12:40
of the mind even the sense I am
12:43
dissolves there is no I am without the
12:47
mind all experience subsides with the
12:53
mind without the mind there can be
12:57
neither experience or nor experience
13:00
[Music]
13:12
all consciousness is limited and
13:15
therefore painful at the root of
13:18
consciousness lies desire the urge to
13:21
experience beyond pain and pleasure
13:29
there is bliss
13:37
body means burden sensations desires
13:43
thoughts these are all burdens all
13:47
consciousness is of conflict to know
13:56
that pain and pleasure are one is peace
14:00
[Music]
14:06
as long as there is consciousness
14:08
there must be pleasure and pain it is in
14:13
the nature of the I am of consciousness
14:16
to identify itself with the opposites
14:20
[Music]
14:30
pain and pleasure are both bliss Here I
14:35
am sitting in front of you and telling
14:38
you from my own immediate and unchanging
14:42
experience pain and pleasure are the
14:46
crests and valleys of the waves in the
14:49
ocean of bliss deep down there is utter
14:54
fullness is your experience constant it
15:02
is timeless and changeless
15:16
what the mind created the mind must
15:20
destroy
15:21
[Music]
15:34
listen remember ponder visualize
15:42
experience also apply it in your daily
15:47
life have patience with me and above all
15:52
have patience with yourself for you are
15:56
your only obstacle the way leads through
16:01
yourself beyond yourself as long as you
16:07
believe only the particular to be real
16:10
conscious and happy and reject the
16:13
non-dual reality as something imagined
16:16
an abstract concept you will find me
16:20
doling out concepts and abstractions but
16:25
once you have touched the real within
16:28
your own being you will find me
16:31
describing what for you is the nearest
16:34
and dearest
16:38
[Music]
16:47
the Yanni belongs to all he gives
16:51
himself tirelessly and completely to
16:55
whoever comes to him if he is not a
16:58
giver he is not a Yanni whatever he has
17:03
he shares
17:05
[Music]
17:14
[Laughter]
17:18
my teaching is simple trust me for a
17:23
while and do what I tell you if you
17:28
persevere you will find that your trust
17:30
was justified
17:31
[Music]
17:47
you seem to want instant insight
17:52
forgetting that the instant is always
17:55
preceded by a long preparation the fruit
17:59
falls suddenly but the ripening takes
18:03
time I claim nothing as my own when the
18:18
eye is not where is the mine
18:24
I am all yours eat me and drink me but
18:32
while you repeat verbally give give you
18:37
do nothing to take what is offered I am
18:41
showing you a short and easy way to
18:44
being able to see what I see but you
18:48
cling to your old habits of thought
18:51
feeling and action and put all the blame
18:56
on me
18:57
I have nothing which you do not have
19:02
self-knowledge is not a piece of
19:05
property to be offered and accepted it
19:09
is a new dimension altogether where
19:13
there is nothing to give or take
19:26
how does it feel at your end
19:29
the common things of life I experience
19:34
them just as you do the difference lies
19:37
in what I do not experience I do not
19:41
experience fear or greed hate or anger I
19:47
ask nothing refuse nothing keep nothing
19:54
in these matters I do not compromise
19:59
maybe this is the outstanding difference
20:02
between us I will not compromise I am
20:07
true to myself while you are afraid of
20:12
reality
20:14
[Music]
20:25
whatever you do for the sake of truth
20:29
will take you to truth only be earnest
20:34
and honest the shape it takes hardly
20:37
matters
20:40
[Music]
20:44
spiritual practice is will assert it and
20:48
reasserted mine is a silent language
20:59
learn to listen and understand meet your
21:06
own self be with your own self listen to
21:12
it
21:13
obey it cherish it
21:17
keep it in mind ceaselessly you need no
21:22
other guide as long as your urge for
21:27
truth affects your daily life all is
21:30
well with you
21:33
live your life without hurting anybody
21:38
homelessness is a most powerful form of
21:41
yoga and it will take you speedily to
21:45
your goal this is what I call nice a
21:48
toga yoga the natural yoga it is the art
21:53
of living in peace and harmony and
21:57
friendliness and love the fruit of it is
22:04
happiness uncaused and endless turn
22:12
within and you will come to trust
22:15
yourself and everything else confidence
22:19
comes with experience
22:25
[Music]
22:29
it is the mind that creates illusion and
22:34
it is the mind that gets free of it
22:39
words may aggravate illusion words may
22:43
also help dispel it there is nothing
22:47
wrong in repeating the same truth again
22:50
and again until it becomes reality the
22:56
mother’s work is not over with the birth
22:58
of the child she feeds it day after day
23:03
year after year until it’s needs her no
23:08
longer people need hearing words until
23:13
facts speak to them louder than words
23:24
just like the one Sun is reflected in a
23:29
billion dew drops so is the timeless
23:33
endlessly repeated when I repeat I am I
23:39
am I merely assert and reassert an
23:44
ever-present fact you get tired of my
23:49
words because you do not see the living
23:52
truth behind them contact it and you
23:56
will find the full meaning of words and
23:59
of silence both
24:07
[Music]
24:09
by itself nothing has existence
24:13
everything needs its own absence to be
24:17
is to be distinguishable to be here and
24:21
not there to be now and not then to be
24:25
thus and not otherwise like water is
24:30
shaped by the container so is everything
24:33
determined by conditions as water
24:37
remains water regardless of the vessels
24:40
as light remains itself regardless of
24:43
the colors it brings out so does the
24:47
real remain real regardless of
24:50
conditions in which it is reflected
24:53
[Music]
25:02
we can talk of the unreal the illusory
25:07
the transient the conditioned to go
25:11
beyond we must pass through total
25:14
negation of everything as having
25:17
independent existence all things depend
25:21
on what do they depend on consciousness
25:30
and consciousness depends on the witness
25:35
the witness is the reflection of the
25:38
real in all its purity it depends on the
25:42
condition of the mind without the
25:48
witness it becomes unconsciousness just
25:52
living
25:54
the witness is latent in every state of
25:57
consciousness just like light in every
26:01
color the ordinary man is afraid to die
26:14
because he is afraid of change the yani
26:18
is not afraid because his mind is dead
26:22
already
26:23
he does not think I live he knows there
26:29
is life there is no change in it and no
26:34
death death appears to be a change in
26:38
time in space where there is neither
26:41
time nor space how can there be death
26:45
the yani is already dead to name and
26:50
shape
26:53
he has nowhere to go nothing to do
26:59
nothing to become
27:01
[Music]
27:10
do you know God let you talk of him so
27:14
freely what is God to you a sound a word
27:22
on paper an idea in the mind
27:26
[Music]
27:34
you do not know your own powers
27:37
you never investigated began with
27:41
yourself now to me you are your own God
27:49
but if you think otherwise think to the
27:53
end if there be God then all is gods and
27:59
all is for the best welcome all that
28:03
comes with a glad and thankful heart and
28:07
love all creatures this too will take
28:13
you to yourself
28:17
[Music]
28:26
the world is but a show glittering and
28:30
empty it is and yet is not it is there
28:38
as long as I want to see it and take
28:41
part in it when I see scaring it
28:45
dissolves it has no cause and serves no
28:51
purpose
28:52
it just happens when we are
28:55
absent-minded
28:57
it appears exactly as it looks but there
29:01
is no depth in it nor meaning only the
29:06
onlooker is real call himself or Atma to
29:13
the self the world is but a colorful
29:16
show which he enjoys as long as it lasts
29:20
and forgets when it is over whatever
29:25
happens on the stage makes him shudder
29:29
in terror or roll with laughter yet all
29:34
the time he is aware that it is but a
29:37
show without desire or fear he enjoys it
29:43
as it happens
29:55
he is happy and fully aware that
29:58
happiness is his very nature and that he
30:02
need not do anything nor strive for
30:06
anything to secure it
30:07
it follows him more real than the body
30:12
near than the mind itself you imagine
30:17
that without cause there can be no
30:20
happiness to me dependence on anything
30:25
for happiness is utter misery pleasure
30:30
and pain have causes while my state is
30:34
my own totally uncaused independent
30:40
unassailable the world just sprouts into
30:46
being out of nothing and returns to
30:51
nothing
31:00
you
