00:14
science deals with names and shapes
00:18
quantities and qualities patterns and
00:22
laws it is alright in its own place but
00:29
life is to be lived there is no time for
00:34
analysis the response must be
00:41
instantaneous
00:43
hence the importance of the spontaneous
00:47
the timeless it is in the unknown that
00:53
we live and move the known is the past
00:59
[Music]
01:08
reality is good and beautiful we create
01:15
the chaos what was never lost can never
01:29
be found
01:31
you’re very searched for safety and joy
01:35
keeps you away from them stop searching
01:42
cease losing the disease is simple and
01:48
the remedy equally simple it is your
01:54
mind only that makes you insecure and
01:58
unhappy anticipation makes you insecure
02:04
memory unhappy stop misusing your mind
02:12
and all will be well with you you need
02:18
not set it right it will set itself
02:21
right as soon as you give up all concern
02:25
with the past and the future and live
02:31
entirely in the now
02:37
as nothing and nobody you are safe and
02:43
happy
02:45
[Music]
02:53
only in the mind of man there is chaos
02:58
the mind does not grasp but the whole
03:02
its focus is very narrow
03:12
[Music]
03:24
all must change you are what does not
03:30
change
03:38
when the I am myself goes the I am all
03:44
comes when the I am all goes I am comes
03:55
when even I am goes reality alone is and
04:02
in it every I am is preserved and
04:07
glorified diversity without separateness
04:14
is the ultimate that the mind can touch
04:20
beyond that all activity ceases because
04:25
in it all goals are reached and all
04:28
purposes fulfilled
04:38
the supreme state is universal here and
04:44
now everybody already shares in it it is
04:52
the state of being knowing and liking
04:58
who does not like to be or does not know
05:03
his own existence but we take no
05:09
advantage of this joy of being conscious
05:14
we do not go into it and purify it of
05:18
all that is foreign to it this work of
05:23
mental self purification the cleansing
05:28
of the psyche is essential
05:33
just as a speck in the eye by causing
05:37
inflammation may wipe out the world so
05:41
the mistaken idea i am the body-mind
05:45
causes the self concern which obscures
05:50
the universe it is useless to fight the
05:56
sense of being a limited and separate
05:58
person unless the roots of it are laid
06:02
bare selfishness is rooted in the
06:07
mistaken ideas of oneself clarification
06:13
of the mind is yoga
06:17
[Music]
06:30
the personal needs a base a body to
06:35
identify oneself with just as a color
06:39
needs a surface to appear on the seeing
06:43
of the color is independent of the color
06:47
it is the same whatever the color one
06:53
needs an eye to see a color the colors
06:58
are many the eye is single the
07:04
impersonal is like the light in the
07:07
color and also in the eye yet simple
07:13
single indivisible and unperceivable
07:18
except in its manifestations not
07:24
unknowable but unperceivable unobjective
07:30
all inseparable
07:32
[Music]
07:46
the absolute or life you talk about is
07:50
it real or a mere theory to cover up our
07:54
ignorance both to the mind
08:00
a theory in itself is a reality it is
08:08
reality in its spontaneous and total
08:12
rejection of the false just as light
08:17
destroys darkness by its very presence
08:21
so does the absolute destroy imagination
08:27
to see that all knowledge is a form of
08:31
ignorance is itself a movement of
08:34
reality the witness is not a person the
08:40
person comes into being when there is a
08:43
basis for it an organism a body in it
08:50
the absolute is reflected as awareness
08:56
pure awareness becomes self awareness
09:04
when there is a self self awareness is
09:08
the witness when there is no self to
09:13
witness there is no witnessing either it
09:17
is all very simple it is the presence of
09:22
the person that complicates see that
09:27
there is no such thing as a permanently
09:31
separate person and all becomes clear
09:38
awareness mind matter they are one
09:45
reality in its two aspects as immovable
09:50
and movable and the three attributes of
09:56
inertia energy and harmony
10:00
[Music]
10:12
what comes first consciousness or
10:15
awareness awareness becomes
10:20
consciousness when it has an object the
10:25
object changes all the time in
10:29
consciousness there is movement
10:33
awareness by itself is motionless and
10:36
timeless here and now in pure
10:44
consciousness nothing ever happens
10:55
nothing is happening
10:58
[Music]
11:13
imagine a big building collapsing some
11:19
rooms are in bruins some are intact but
11:24
can you speak of the space as ruined or
11:28
intact it is only the structure that
11:34
suffered and the people who happen to
11:37
live in it
11:39
nothing happened to space itself
11:44
[Music]
11:48
similarly nothing happens to life when
11:53
forms break down and names are wiped out
11:59
the goldsmith melts down old ornaments
12:03
to make new sometimes a good piece goes
12:07
with the bad he takes it in his stride
12:11
for he knows that no gold is lost
12:23
death is natural the manner of dying is
12:28
man-made separateness causes fear and
12:33
aggression which again cause violence do
12:39
away with man-made separations and all
12:43
this horror of people killing each other
12:46
will surely end but in reality there is
12:53
no killing and there is no dying the
12:59
real does not die the unreal never lived
13:06
set your mind right and all will be
13:09
right when you know that the world is
13:15
one that humanity is one you will act
13:20
accordingly
13:24
but first of all you must attend to the
13:29
way you feel think and live unless there
13:35
is order in yourself there can be no
13:38
order in the world in reality nothing
13:46
happens
13:47
[Music]
13:52
onto the screen of the mind destiny
13:56
forever projects its pictures memories
14:00
of former projections and thus illusion
14:04
constantly renews itself the pictures
14:08
come and go light intercepted by
14:12
ignorance see the light and disregard
14:18
the picture
14:20
[Music]
14:32
evil is the stench of a mind that is
14:37
diseased heal your mind and it will
14:43
cease to project distorted ugly pictures
14:50
[Music]
14:54
reality cannot be momentary it is
14:59
timeless but timelessness is not
15:04
duration
15:16
as long as you pay attention to ideas
15:21
your own or of others you will be in
15:25
trouble but if you disregard all
15:30
teachings all books anything put into
15:34
words and dive deeply within yourself
15:38
and find yourself this alone will solve
15:43
all your problems and leave you in full
15:47
mastery of every situation because you
15:51
will not be dominated by your ideas
15:53
about the situation take an example you
16:00
are in the company of an attractive
16:02
woman you get ideas about her and this
16:07
creates a sexual situation a problem is
16:12
created and you start looking for books
16:15
on continents or enjoyment were you a
16:21
baby both of you could be naked and
16:24
together without any problem arising
16:29
just stop thinking you are bodies and
16:33
the problems of love and sex will lose
16:37
their meaning with all sense of
16:41
limitation gone fear pain and the search
16:47
for pleasure all cease only awareness
16:52
remains
17:02
the self is near and the way to it is
17:08
easy all you need do is do nothing your
17:18
sadhana spiritual practice is to be the
17:25
doing happens just to be watchful where
17:33
is the difficulty in remembering that
17:37
you are you are all the time
17:50
what is your procedure for clearing the
17:54
mind of the unnecessary
17:57
what are your means your tools for the
18:02
purification of the mind
18:06
[Music]
18:07
[Laughter]
18:09
[Music]
18:10
the mind exists in two states as water
18:15
and as honey the water vibrates at the
18:22
least disturbance while the honey
18:26
however disturbed returns quickly to
18:30
immobility
18:31
[Music]
18:39
you may have chronic fever and shiver
18:42
all the time
18:43
it is desires and fears that make the
18:48
mind Restless
18:50
free from all negative emotions it is
18:55
quiet
18:56
[Music]
19:07
you think you are coming and going
19:10
passing through various states and moods
19:13
I see things as they are momentary
19:19
events presenting themselves to me in
19:23
rapid succession deriving their being
19:28
from me yet definitely neither me nor
19:34
mine among phenomena I am not one nor
19:42
subject to any I am independent so
19:47
simply and totally that your mind
19:52
accustomed to opposition and denial
19:55
cannot grasp it I mean literally what I
20:00
say I do not need to oppose or deny
20:06
because it is clear to me that I cannot
20:09
be the opposite or denial of anything I
20:14
am just beyond in a different dimension
20:19
all together
20:21
[Music]
20:34
set your intellect aside don’t use it in
20:39
these matters
20:43
[Music]
20:52
why do you talk of action are you acting
20:58
ever some unknown power acts and you
21:03
imagine that you are acting you are
21:09
merely watching what happens without
21:12
being able to influence it in any way
21:24
you are like a patient under anesthesia
21:28
on whom a surgeon performs an operation
21:32
when you wake up you find the operation
21:37
over can you say you have done something
21:47
you have no choice only the illusion of
21:53
it
22:03
[Music]
22:10
my guru told me trust me
22:15
I tell you you are divine take it as the
22:24
absolute truth
22:26
your joy is divine
22:31
your suffering is divine to all comes
22:37
from God remember it always you are God
22:47
your will alone is done
22:54
I did believe him and soon realized how
23:01
wonderfully true and accurate were his
23:03
words I did not condition my mind by
23:08
thinking I am God I am wonderful I am
23:13
beyond I simply followed his instruction
23:17
which was to focus the mind on pure
23:22
being I am and stay in it I used to sit
23:31
for hours with nothing but the I am in
23:36
my mind and soon peace and joy and a
23:43
deep all-embracing love became my normal
23:48
state in it all disappeared my self my
23:58
guru the life I lived the world around
24:03
me only peace remained and unfathomable
24:11
silence
24:27
your expectation of something unique and
24:31
dramatic of some wonderful explosion is
24:35
merely hindering and delaying your
24:38
self-realization you’re not to expect an
24:44
explosion for the explosion has already
24:47
happened at the moment when you were
24:50
born when you realized yourself as being
24:54
knowing feeling there is only one
25:00
mistake you are making you take the
25:04
inner for the outer and the outer for
25:08
the inner what is in you you take to be
25:12
outside you and what is outside you take
25:16
to be in you the mind and feelings are
25:22
external but you take them to be
25:25
intimate you believe the world to be
25:29
objective while it is entirely a
25:32
projection of your own psyche that is
25:37
the basic confusion and no new explosion
25:41
will set it right you have to think
25:45
yourself out of it there is no other way
25:50
[Music]
26:00
watch your thoughts as you watch the
26:04
street traffic people come and go you
26:10
register without response it may not be
26:16
easy in the beginning but with some
26:20
practice you will find that your mind
26:23
can function on many levels at the same
26:27
time and you can be aware of them all it
26:33
is only when you have a vested interest
26:36
in any particular level that your
26:39
attention gets caught in it and you
26:42
black out on other levels even then the
26:48
work on the blacked-out levels goes on
26:50
outside the field of consciousness
26:57
do not struggle with your memories and
27:00
thoughts try only to include in your
27:03
field of attention the other more
27:07
important questions like who am i how
27:13
did I happen to be born whence this
27:18
universe around me what is real and what
27:23
is momentary no memory will persist if
27:29
you lose interest in it it is the
27:33
emotional link that perpetuates the
27:36
bondage you are always seeking pleasure
27:41
avoiding pain always after happiness and
27:46
peace don’t you see that it is your very
27:50
search for happiness that makes you feel
27:54
miserable try the other way indifferent
28:00
to pain and pleasure
28:01
neither asking nor refusing give all
28:05
your attention to the level on which I
28:08
am is present soon you will realize that
28:13
peace and happiness are in your very
28:17
nature and it is only seeking them
28:20
through some particular channels that
28:23
disturbs avoid the disturbance that is
28:28
all to seek there is no need you would
28:34
not seek what you already have
28:37
you yourself are god the supreme reality
28:44
to begin with trust me trust the teacher
28:51
it enables you to make the first step
28:54
and then your trust is justified by your
28:58
own experience in every walk of life
29:05
initial trust is essential without it
29:09
little can be done every undertaking is
29:13
an act of faith even your daily bread
29:16
you eat on trust by remembering what I
29:21
told you you will achieve everything I
29:24
am Telling You again you are the all
29:29
pervading all transcending reality
29:34
behave accordingly think feel and act in
29:41
harmony with the whole and the actual
29:44
experience of what I say will dawn upon
29:47
you in no time no effort is needed have
29:52
faith and act on it
29:55
please see that I want nothing from you
29:58
it is in your own self-interest that I
30:02
speak because above all you love
30:06
yourself you want yourself secure and
30:10
happy don’t be ashamed of it don’t deny
30:16
it it is natural and good to love
30:21
oneself only you should know exactly
30:25
what you love it is not the body that
30:29
you love it is life
30:32
perceiving feeling thinking doing loving
30:40
striving creating it is that life you
30:45
love which is you which is all
