experience you must be you need not stop
01:04

02:16
don’t resist your balance must be
02:22
dynamic based on doing just the right
02:26
thing
02:28
from moment to moment don’t be a child
02:36
unwilling to grow up stereotypes
02:41
gestures and postures will not help you
02:48
rely entirely on your clarity of thought
02:53
purity of motive and integrity of action
02:59
you cannot possibly go wrong go beyond
03:04
and leave all behind
03:12
[Music]
03:16
you want something like a
03:19
round-the-clock ecstasy ecstasy ‘he’s
03:25
come-and-go
03:26
necessarily for the human brain cannot
03:30
stand the tension for a long time a
03:35
prolonged ecstasy will burn out your
03:39
brain unless it is extremely pure and
03:43
subtle in nature nothing is at
03:49
standstill
03:51
everything pulsates appears and
03:56
dissapears heart
04:01
breath digestion sleep and waking birth
04:09
and death everything comes and goes in
04:14
waves rhythm periodicity harmonious
04:24
alternation of extremes is the rule no
04:30
use rebelling against the very pattern
04:33
of life if you seek the immutable go
04:40
beyond experience when I say remember I
04:47
am all the time I mean come back to it
04:52
repeatedly no particular thought can be
04:58
Mines natural state only silence not the
05:06
idea of silence but silence itself when
05:14
the mind is in its natural state it
05:17
reverts to silence spontaneously after
05:21
every experience or rather every
05:28
experience happens against the
05:31
background of silence
05:32
[Music]
05:35
now what you have learned here becomes
05:40
the seed you may forget it apparently
05:46
but it will live and in due season
05:51
sprout and grow and bring forth flowers
05:58
and fruits all will happen by itself you
06:07
need not to do anything only don’t
06:14
prevent it
06:33
[Music]
06:44
what is love
06:49
is it not a state of being rather than a
06:55
state of mind must you know that you
07:01
love in order to love did you not love
07:06
your mother unknowingly your craving for
07:12
her love for an opportunity to love her
07:16
is it not the movement of love is not
07:23
love as much a part of you as
07:27
consciousness of being you sought the
07:34
love of your mother because you loved
07:39
her but she would not let me she could
07:52
not stop you then why was I unhappy all
07:59
my life because you did not go down to
08:05
the very roots of your being
08:08
[Music]
08:10
it is your complete ignorance of
08:13
yourself that covered up your love and
08:17
happiness and made you seek for what you
08:21
have never lost love is will the will to
08:30
share your happiness with all being
08:36
happy making happy this is the rhythm of
08:44
love
08:55
you began as a child and you will end as
09:00
a child whatever you have acquired in
09:06
the meantime you must lose and start at
09:12
the beginning
09:13
[Music]
09:24
a child kicks let it kick just look at
09:31
the kicking and if you are too afraid of
09:35
society to kick convincingly look at
09:40
that – I know it is a painful business
09:47
but there is no remedy except one the
09:52
search for remedies must cease if you
10:00
are angry or in pain separate yourself
10:04
from anger and pain and watch them
10:11
externalize ation is the first step to
10:15
liberation step away and look the
10:24
physical events will go on happening but
10:29
by themselves
10:30
they have no importance
10:35
it is the mind alone that matters
10:41
whatever happens you cannot kick and
10:45
scream in an airline office or in a bank
10:50
Society does not allow it if you do not
10:55
like their ways or are not prepared to
10:59
endure them don’t fly or carry money
11:04
walk and if you cannot walk don’t travel
11:10
if you deal with society you must accept
11:16
its ways for its ways are your ways
11:21
your needs and demands have created them
11:27
your desires are so complex and
11:31
contradictory
11:33
no wonder the society you create is also
11:38
complex and contradictory if you could
11:50
only keep quiet clear of memories and
11:55
expectations you would be able to
11:59
discern the beautiful pattern of events
12:02
it is your restlessness that causes
12:06
chaos
12:07
[Music]
12:16
you want immediate results we do not
12:21
dispense magic here everybody makes the
12:26
same mistake refusing the means but
12:31
wanting the ends you want peace and
12:37
harmony in the world but refused to have
12:41
them in yourself follow my advice
12:47
implicitly and you will not be
12:50
disappointed
12:51
I cannot solve your problem by mere
12:56
words you have to act on what I told you
13:01
and persevere it is not the right advice
13:07
that liberates but the action based on
13:12
it just like a doctor who after giving
13:17
the patient an injection tells him now
13:20
keep quiet do nothing more just keep
13:25
quiet I am Telling You you have got your
13:31
injection now keep quiet just keep
13:42
quiet
13:47
[Music]
13:57
you have nothing else to do
14:01
my guru did the same he would tell me
14:06
something and then say now keep quiet
14:19
don’t go on ruminating all the time
14:25
stop
14:26
[Music]
14:28
be silent
14:30
[Music]
14:50
all that needs doing can be done in
14:54
peace and silence there’s no need to get
14:59
upset if you just try to keep quiet all
15:07
will come the work the strength for work
15:14
the right motive must you know
15:19
everything beforehand don’t be anxious
15:25
about your future be quiet now and all
15:32
will fall into place
15:36
[Music]
15:39
the unexpected is bound to happen while
15:44
the anticipated may never come don’t
15:53
tell me you cannot control your nature
15:56
you need not control it throw it
16:00
overboard have no nature to fight or to
16:06
submit to no experience will hurt you
16:12
provided you don’t make it into a habit
16:15
of the entire universe
16:19
you are the subtle cause all is because
16:26
you are grasped this point firmly and
16:32
deeply and dwell on it repeatedly to
16:39
realize this as absolutely true is
16:43
liberation
16:45
[Music]
16:55
nature is neither pleasant-nor-painful
16:58
[Music]
17:00
it is all intelligence and beauty pain
17:06
and pleasure are in the mind change your
17:12
scale of values and all will change
17:15
[Music]
17:18
pleasure and pain are mere disturbances
17:23
of the senses treat them equally and
17:29
there will be only bliss
17:35
[Music]
17:40
and the world is what you make it by all
17:45
means make it happy only contentment can
17:53
make you happy
17:55
desires fulfilled breed more desires
17:59
keeping away from all desires and
18:02
contentment in what comes by itself is a
18:07
very fruitful state a precondition to
18:10
the state of fullness don’t distrust
18:15
it’s apparent sterility and emptiness
18:19
believe me it is the satisfaction of
18:23
desires that breeds misery freedom from
18:29
desires is bliss
18:36
[Music]
18:43
[Music]
18:46
remember the instruction whatever you
18:51
come across go beyond
18:56
[Music]
19:06
it is like climbing a mountain not a
19:12
step can be missed one step less and the
19:21
summit is not reached the person is
19:34
always the object the witness is the
19:38
subject and their relation of mutual
19:43
dependence is the reflection of their
19:46
absolute identity you imagine that they
19:51
are distinct and separate States they
19:55
are not they are the same consciousness
19:59
at rest and in movement each state
20:08
conscious of the other
20:09
[Music]
20:28
beyond the mind all distinctions cease
20:34
[Music]
20:44
as body you are in space as mind you are
20:53
in time but are you mere body with a
20:58
mind in it have you ever investigated
21:09
[Music]
21:23
you see people suffer and you seek the
21:27
best way of helping them the answer is
21:31
obvious first put yourself beyond the
21:37
need of help
21:39
be sure your attitude is of pure
21:42
goodwill free of expectation of any kind
21:49
those who seek mere happiness may end up
21:54
in sublime indifference while love will
22:00
never rest as to the method there is
22:06
only one you must come to know yourself
22:11
both will you appear to be and what you
22:15
are clarity and charity go together each
22:22
needs and strengthens the other
22:25
[Music]
22:32
the world is not objective and the
22:36
sorrow of it is not avoidable compassion
22:42
is but another word for the refusal to
22:46
suffer for Imaginary reasons it is
22:56
always the false that makes you suffer
22:59
the false desires and fears the false
23:05
values and ideas the false relationships
23:11
between people abandon the false and you
23:18
are free of pain truth makes happy truth
23:26
liberates
23:31
[Music]
23:39
you are neither the body nor in the body
23:45
there is no such thing as body you have
23:53
grievously misunderstood yourself to
23:57
understand rightly investigate
24:02
[Music]
24:09
this is your misconception inquire
24:17
investigate doubt yourself and others
24:23
define truth you must not cling to your
24:28
convictions if you are sure of the
24:32
immediate you will never reach the
24:35
ultimate your idea that you were born
24:40
and that you will die is absurd both
24:46
logic and experience contradicted
24:59
the entire universe contributes
25:02
incessantly to your existence
25:05
hence the entire universe is your body
25:10
in that sense I agree
25:20
realize your real self and even drugs
25:25
will have no power over you
25:34
[Music]
25:41
I make no claims of consistency you
25:47
think absolute consistency is possible
25:50
prove it by example do not preach what
25:56
you do not practice without awareness
26:08
the body would not last a second there
26:14
is in the body a current of energy
26:18
affection and intelligence which guides
26:23
maintains and energizes the body
26:28
discover that current and stay with it
26:36
find the spark of life life itself is
26:44
timeless
26:53
behave as if what I say is true and
26:58
judged by what actually happens I know
27:03
what you are and I am Telling You trust
27:08
me for a while
27:16
the body and the mind are only symptoms
27:20
of ignorance of misapprehension behave
27:27
as if you were pure awareness bodyless
27:32
and mindless spaceless and timeless
27:38
beyond where and when and how dwell on
27:44
it
27:45
think of it learn to accept its reality
27:51
don’t oppose it and deny it all the time
27:56
keep an open mind at least Yoga is
28:02
bending the outer to the inner make your
28:06
mind and body Express the real which is
28:10
all and Beyond all by doing you succeed
28:16
not by arguing
28:18
[Music]
28:31
the absolute precedes time awareness
28:37
comes first a bundle of memories and
28:43
mental habits attracts attention
28:48
awareness gets focalized and a person
28:52
suddenly appears remove the light of
28:57
awareness go to sleep or swoon away and
29:02
the person disappears the person
29:07
flickers awareness contains all space
29:13
and time the absolute is
29:18
[Music]
29:25
I know the source of all experience from
29:30
moment to moment the little I need to
29:33
know to live my life I somehow happened
29:37
to know
29:38
[Music]
29:47
first know your own mind and you will
29:53
find that the question of other minds
29:55
does not arise at all for there are no
30:00
other people you are the common factor
30:06
the only link between the minds being is
30:13
consciousness
30:14
I am applies to all
30:23
[Music]
30:29
don’t you see that the supreme reality
30:34
is what makes everything possible
30:44
[Music]
30:48
you
30:50
[Music]
