00:11
as long as you are outside my state you
00:18
will have creators preservers and
00:20
destroyers
00:22
but once with me you will know the self
00:26
only and see yourself in all in reality
00:37
I only look whatever is done is done on
00:43
the stage joy and sorrow life and death
00:50
they are all real to the man in bondage
00:54
to me they are all in the show as unreal
01:00
as the show itself
01:09
[Music]
01:14
at the root of my being is pure
01:19
awareness a speck of intense light this
01:26
speck by its very nature radiates and
01:30
creates pictures in space and events in
01:34
time effortlessly and spontaneously as
01:40
long as it is merely aware there are no
01:43
problems but when the discriminant ooo
01:49
being and creates distinctions pleasure
01:53
and pain arise life creates everything
02:07
but the supreme is beyond all
02:13
[Music]
02:22
the Yanni seems to be a very lonely
02:25
being all by himself he is alone but he
02:33
is all he is not even a being he is the
02:40
beingness
02:41
of all beings not even that no words
02:47
apply he is what he is the ground from
02:53
which all grows
02:55
[Music]
03:05
everybody dies as he lives I am Not
03:10
Afraid of death because I am Not Afraid
03:13
of life I live a happy life and shall
03:19
die a happy death misery is to be born
03:25
not to die all depends how you look at
03:30
it in my world nobody is born and nobody
03:42
dies some people go on a journey and
03:46
come back some never leave what
03:52
difference does it make since they
03:54
travel in Dreamlands each wrapped up in
03:58
his own dream only the waking up is
04:02
important it is enough to know the I am
04:06
as reality and also love
04:17
[Music]
04:20
the gospel of self-realization once
04:24
heard will never be forgotten like a
04:29
seed left in the ground it will wait for
04:34
the right season and sprout and grow
04:37
into a mighty tree
04:43
[Music]
04:48
does not a Yanni feel sorrow when his
04:51
child dies does he not suffer he suffers
04:57
with those who suffer the event itself
05:00
is of little importance but he is full
05:05
of compassion for the suffering being
05:07
whether alive or dead in the body or out
05:11
of it after all love and compassion are
05:17
his very nature he is one with all that
05:21
lives and love is that oneness in action
05:33
the Yanni is afraid of nothing but he
05:37
pities the man who is afraid after all
05:41
to be born to live and to die is natural
05:46
to be afraid is not
05:50
[Music]
06:01
what about the prayers for the dead by
06:05
all means pray for the dead it pleases
06:09
them very much they are flattered
06:12
the yani does not need your prayers he
06:16
is himself the answer to your prayers
06:22
how does the Yanni fare after death the
06:26
Yanni is dead already do you expect him
06:31
to die again
06:37
there are no important events for a
06:41
Yanni except when somebody reaches the
06:44
highest goal then only his heart
06:47
rejoices all else is of no concern the
06:53
entire universe is his body all life is
06:57
his life as in a city of lights
07:01
when one bulb burns out it does not
07:04
affect the network so the death of a
07:08
body does not affect the whole
07:12
[Music]
07:21
anything you do for the sake of
07:24
enlightenment takes you near anything
07:28
you do without remembering enlightenment
07:31
put you off but why complicate just know
07:37
that you are above and beyond all things
07:40
and thoughts what you want to be you are
07:45
it already just keep it in mind keep in
07:58
mind what I tell you desire nothing for
08:03
you lack nothing the very seeking
08:07
prevents you from finding
08:15
life and death are all the same to me
08:24
compassion and love are my very core
08:28
void of all predilections I am free to
08:32
love
08:40
one can give food clothes shelter
08:44
knowledge affection but the highest gift
08:49
is the gospel of enlightenment once you
08:56
have it nobody can take it away from you
09:01
[Music]
09:11
the supreme reality manifests itself in
09:15
innumerable ways infinite in number are
09:20
its names and shapes all arise all merge
09:26
in the same ocean the source of all is
09:30
one looking for causes and results is
09:38
but the pastime of the mind
09:41
what is is lovable love is not a result
09:47
it is the very ground of being wherever
09:51
you go you will find being consciousness
09:56
and love why and what for make
10:01
preferences
10:02
[Music]
10:12
all happens as it happens calamities
10:17
whether natural or man-made happen and
10:20
there is no need to feel horrified in
10:27
every event the entire universe is
10:31
reflected the ultimate cause is
10:35
untraceable the very idea of causation
10:40
is only a way of thinking and speaking
10:44
we cannot imagine uncaused emergence
11:01
the causes of perversity are also
11:04
natural heredity environment and so on
11:08
you are too quick to condemn do not
11:13
worry about others deal with your own
11:16
mind first when you realize that your
11:21
mind too is a part of nature the duality
11:25
will cease develop the witness attitude
11:32
and you will find in your own experience
11:35
that detachment brings control the state
11:40
of witnessing is full of power there is
11:44
nothing passive about it the new is the
12:02
total denial of the old the permissive
12:06
new is not really new it is but a new
12:09
attitude of the old the really new
12:13
obliterates the old completely the two
12:17
cannot be together
12:22
[Music]
12:31
there is but one self it is always now
12:41
what you call the other self old or new
12:45
is but a modality another aspect of the
12:50
one self the self is single you are that
12:56
self and you have ideas of what you have
13:00
been or will be but an idea is not the
13:06
south
13:14
how can there be conflict between what
13:17
is and what is not conflict is the
13:23
characteristic of the old when the new
13:27
emerges the old is no longer
13:39
anything that implies a continuity a
13:42
sequence a passing from stage to stage
13:46
cannot be real there is no progress in
13:50
reality it is final
13:53
perfect unrelated
14:03
you can do nothing to bring it about but
14:07
you can avoid creating obstacles watch
14:12
your mind how it comes into being how it
14:16
operates as you watch your mind you
14:20
discover yourself as the watcher
14:24
[Music]
14:27
when you stand motionless only watching
14:32
you discover yourself as the light
14:35
behind the watcher the source of light
14:40
is dark unknown is the source of
14:44
knowledge that source alone is go back
14:50
to that source and abide there it is
14:56
neither in the sky nor in the
14:59
all-pervading ether God is all that is
15:04
great and wonderful I am nothing have
15:10
nothing can do nothing yet all comes out
15:16
of me
15:17
the source is me the root the origin is
15:23
me
15:25
[Music]
15:31
when reality explodes in you you may
15:35
call it experience of God or rather it
15:39
is God experiencing you God knows you
15:43
when you know yourself reality is not
15:48
the result of a process it is an
15:52
explosion it is definitely beyond the
15:58
mind but all you can do is to know your
16:02
mind well not that the mind will help
16:06
you but by knowing your mind you may
16:09
avoid your mind disabling you you have
16:14
to be very alert or else your mind will
16:17
play false with you it is like watching
16:20
a thief not that you expect anything
16:25
from a thief but you do not want to be
16:28
robbed in the same way you give a lot of
16:32
attention to the mind without expecting
16:36
anything from it treating everything as
16:48
a dream liberates as long as you give
16:52
reality to dreams you are their slave
17:02
by imagining that you are born as
17:05
so-and-so you become a slave to the
17:09
so-and-so the essence of slavery is to
17:14
imagine yourself to be a process to have
17:18
past and future to have history in fact
17:23
we have no history we are not a process
17:28
we do not develop nor decay also see all
17:35
as a dream and stay out of it I am
17:49
calling you back to yourself all I ask
17:54
you is to look at yourself towards
17:58
yourself into yourself
18:01
[Music]
18:02
[Laughter]
18:06
to what purpose you live you feel you
18:13
think by giving attention to your living
18:16
feeling and thinking you free yourself
18:20
from them and go beyond them your
18:24
personality dissolves and only the
18:27
witness remains then you go beyond the
18:32
witness do not ask how it happened
18:36
[Music]
18:46
consciousness does not shine by itself
18:49
it shines by a light beyond it
18:54
having seen the dreamlike quality of
18:57
consciousness look for the light in
19:00
which it appears which gives it being
19:04
there is the content of consciousness as
19:08
well as the awareness of it
19:19
experience is of change it comes and
19:23
goes
19:25
reality is not an event
19:28
it cannot be experienced it is not
19:33
perceivable in the same way as an event
19:36
is perceivable if you wait for an event
19:40
to take place for the coming of reality
19:43
you will wait forever for reality never
19:48
comes nor goes it is to be perceived not
19:55
expected it is not to be prepared for
20:00
and anticipated but the very longing and
20:05
search for reality is the movement
20:09
operation action of reality all you can
20:15
do is to grasp the central point that
20:18
reality is not an event and does not
20:22
happen and whatever happens whatever
20:26
comes and goes is not reality
20:30
[Music]
20:39
neither action nor feeling nor thought
20:44
Express reality there is no such thing
20:49
as an expression of reality you are
20:55
introducing a duality where there is
20:58
none
21:00
only reality is there is nothing else
21:09
[Music]
21:12
all happens as it needs yet nothing
21:17
happens I do what seems to be necessary
21:22
but at the same time I know that nothing
21:25
is necessary that life itself is only
21:30
make-believe nothing is done by me
21:41
everything just happens I do not expect
21:45
I do not plan I just watch events
21:51
happening
21:52
knowing them to be unreal they just
22:00
happen to me nothing ever happens there
22:08
is something changeless motionless in
22:14
movable rock like unassailable a solid
22:21
mass of pure being consciousness bliss I
22:26
am never out of it nothing can take me
22:31
out of it no torture no calamity
22:40
[Music]
22:49
[Music]
22:52
if I understand you rightly this state
22:56
did not come by cultivation there was no
23:01
coming
23:02
it was so always there was discovery and
23:09
it was sudden just as at birth you
23:14
discover the world suddenly suddenly I
23:17
discovered my real being
23:21
[Music]
23:28
is your condition permanent or
23:31
intermittent absolutely steady whatever
23:38
I may do it stays like a rock motionless
23:45
once you have awakened into reality you
23:49
stay in it a child does not return to
23:53
the womb it is a simple state smaller
23:58
than the smallest bigger than the
24:02
biggest it is self-evident and yet
24:06
beyond description
24:09
[Music]
24:12
is there a way to it everything can
24:17
become away provided you are interested
24:22
just puzzling over my words and trying
24:27
to grasp their full meaning is a sadhana
24:31
quite sufficient for breaking down the
24:33
wall you are quite capable of crossing
24:41
over only be sincere
24:45
[Music]
24:55
by what is the Yanni recognized there
25:01
are no distinctive marks of a yana only
25:06
ignorant can be recognized not Yana
25:10
nor does a Yanni claim to be something
25:13
special
25:17
all those who proclaimed their own
25:20
greatness and uniqueness are not Yanni’s
25:26
they are mistaking some unusual
25:30
development for realization the Yanni
25:34
shows no tendency to proclaim himself to
25:38
be a Yanni he considers himself to be
25:42
perfectly normal
25:44
true to his real nature proclaiming
25:48
oneself to be in omnipotent omniscient
25:52
and omnipresent deity is a dear sign of
25:56
ignorance
25:57
[Music]
26:10
the words of a Yanni have the power of
26:13
dispelling ignorance and darkness in the
26:16
mind it is not the words that matter but
26:20
the power behind them what is that power
26:28
the power of conviction based on
26:33
personal realization on one’s own direct
26:37
experience
26:38
[Music]
26:49
if the seeker is earnest the light can
26:55
be given the light is for all and always
26:59
there but the Seekers are few and among
27:05
those few those who are ready are very
27:08
rare ripeness of heart and mind is
27:14
indispensable
27:15
[Music]
27:23
you see I was so attuned to my guru so
27:29
completely trusting him there was so
27:32
little of resistance in me that it all
27:36
happened easily and quickly but not
27:41
everybody is so fortunate laziness and
27:45
restlessness often stand in the way and
27:50
until they are seen and removed the
27:53
progress is slow all those who have
27:58
realized on the spot by mere touch look
28:03
or thought have been ripe for it but
28:07
such are very few the majority needs
28:11
some time for ripening sadhana is
28:16
accelerated ripening
28:18
[Music]
28:27
integrity will take you to reality when
28:37
all the false self identifications are
28:40
thrown away what remains is
28:44
all-embracing love get rid of all ideas
28:51
about yourself even of the idea that you
28:56
are God no self definition is valid
29:09
when you demand nothing of the world nor
29:13
of God when you want nothing seek
29:17
nothing expect nothing then the supreme
29:22
state will come to you uninvited and
29:25
unexpected stay open and quiet that is
29:32
all what you seek is so near you that
29:37
there is no place for a way don’t
29:44
concern yourself with others take care
29:48
of yourself remember that you are
29:53
[Music]
29:57
life is seeking one cannot help seeking
30:01
when all search ceases it is the supreme
30:06
state it is a timeless state
30:10
ever-present sadhana is a search for
30:17
what to give up empty yourself
30:21
completely self remembrance awareness of
30:27
I am ripens him powerfully and speedily
30:32
give up all ideas about yourself and
30:37
simply be
30:44
[Music]
30:48
you
30:50
[Music]
