00:13
there is trouble
00:15
only when you cling to something when
00:20
you hold on to nothing no trouble arises
00:25
the relinquish enough the lesser is the
00:29
gaining of the greater give up all and
00:35
you gain all then life becomes what it
00:43
was meant to be pure radiation from an
00:49
inexhaustible source in that light the
00:55
world appears dimly like a dream
01:00
[Music]
01:07
let the dream unroll itself to its very
01:12
end you cannot help it but you can look
01:19
at the dream as a dream refuse it the
01:24
stamp of reality my heart wants you
01:36
awake I see you suffer in your dream and
01:42
I know that you must wake up to end your
01:47
woes when you see your dream as dream
01:54
you wake up but in your dream itself I
02:00
am NOT interested enough for me to know
02:05
that you must wake up you need not bring
02:11
your dream to a definite conclusion or
02:14
make it noble or happy or beautiful all
02:20
you need is to realize that you are
02:26
dreaming
02:29
[Music]
02:35
stop imagining stop believing see the
02:42
contradictions the incongruities the
02:47
falsehood and the sorrow of the human
02:51
state the need to go beyond within the
02:57
immensity of space floats a tiny atom of
03:02
consciousness and in it the entire
03:06
universe is contained
03:12
[Music]
03:15
in the dream you love some and not
03:19
others on waking up you find you are
03:24
love itself embracing all personal love
03:34
however intense and genuine invariably
03:39
binds love in freedom is love of all
03:46
[Music]
03:53
when you are love itself you are beyond
03:58
time and numbers in loving one you love
04:05
all in loving all you love each one and
04:12
all are not exclusive
04:17
[Music]
04:28
I am beyond all names and shapes you are
04:35
too much concerned with past and future
04:38
it is all due to your longing to
04:43
continue to protect yourself against
04:47
extinction and as you want to continue
04:53
you want others to keep you company
04:56
hence your concern with their survival
05:01
but what you call survival is but the
05:06
survival of a dream death is preferable
05:11
to it there is a chance of waking up
05:25
freedom from all desire is eternity all
05:31
attachment implies fear for all things
05:35
are transient and fear makes one a slave
05:40
[Music]
05:42
this freedom from attachment does not
05:45
come with practice it is natural when
05:50
one knows one’s true being love does not
05:56
cling clinging is not love there is
06:07
nothing to gain
06:09
abandon all imaginings and know yourself
06:14
as you are
06:18
self-knowledge is detachment all craving
06:24
is due to a sense of insufficiency when
06:31
you know that you lack nothing that all
06:35
there is is you and yours desire ceases
06:45
[Music]
06:50
there is nothing to practice to know
06:55
yourself be yourself to be yourself stop
07:02
imagining yourself to be this or that
07:07
just be let your true nature emerge
07:15
don’t disturb your mind with seeking
07:23
[Music]
07:27
what have you to wait for when it is
07:30
already here and now you have only to
07:37
look and see look at yourself at your
07:43
own being you know that you are and you
07:49
like it
07:52
abandon all imagining that is all do not
07:58
rely on time time is death who waits
08:04
dies life is now only
08:10
[Music]
08:14
do not talk to me about past and future
08:18
they exist only in your mind
08:28
[Music]
08:34
where action is needed action happens
08:39
man is not the actor his is to be aware
08:45
of what is going on his very presence is
08:52
action the window is the absence of the
08:58
wall and it gives air and light because
09:02
it is empty be empty of all mental
09:08
content of all imagination and effort
09:13
and the very absence of obstacles will
09:18
cause reality to rush in if you really
09:23
want to help a person keep away if you
09:30
are emotionally committed to helping you
09:34
will fail to help you may be very busy
09:38
and be very pleased with your charitable
09:41
nature but not much will be done a man
09:47
has really helped when he is no longer
09:50
in need of help all else is just
09:55
futility by all means do but what you
10:04
can do is limited the self alone is
10:09
unlimited give limitlessly of yourself
10:16
all else you can give in small measures
10:20
only you alone are immeasurable to help
10:27
is your very nature even when you eat
10:34
and drink you help your body for
10:39
yourself you need nothing
10:43
you are pure giving beginningless
10:48
endless inexhaustible when you see
10:55
sorrow and suffering be with it do not
10:59
rush into activity
11:02
neither learning nor action can really
11:06
help be with sorrow and lay bare its
11:11
roots helping to understand is real help
11:19
your body is short of time not to you
11:23
time and space are in the mind only you
11:29
are not bound
11:33
just understand yourself that itself is
11:39
eternity when an ordinary man dies what
11:47
happens to him according to his belief
11:52
it happens as life before death is but
11:57
imagination so is life after the dream
12:03
continues and what about the Yanni
12:10
the Yanni does not die because he was
12:14
never born until I met my guru I knew so
12:23
many things now I know nothing for all
12:29
knowledge is in dream only and not valid
12:34
I know myself and I find no life nor
12:42
death in me only pure being not being
12:48
this or that but just being
12:54
[Music]
13:03
as always are in the ocean
13:07
so are all things physical and mental in
13:14
awareness
13:17
hence awareness itself is all-important
13:23
not the content of it deepen and broaden
13:33
your awareness of yourself and all the
13:38
blessings will flow you need not seek
13:42
anything all will come to you most
13:47
naturally and effortlessly the five
13:55
senses and the four functions of the
13:58
mind memory thought understanding and
14:03
selfhood the five elements earth water
14:10
fire air and ether the two aspects of
14:17
creation matter and spirit all are
14:24
contained in awareness
14:28
[Music]
14:46
reincarnation implies a reincarnating
14:50
self there is no such thing the bundle
14:59
of memories and hopes called the eye
15:04
imagines itself existing everlastingly
15:07
and creates time to accommodate its
15:12
false eternity to be I need no past or
15:20
future all experience is born of
15:27
imagination I do not imagine so no birth
15:33
or death happens to me only those who
15:40
think themselves born can think
15:43
themselves reborn you are accusing me of
15:49
having been born I plead not guilty
15:57
all exists in awareness and awareness
16:03
neither dies nor is reborn it is the
16:09
changeless reality itself all the
16:20
universe of experience is born with the
16:24
body and dies with the body it has its
16:29
beginning and end in awareness but
16:33
awareness knows no beginning nor end if
16:37
you think it out carefully and brood
16:41
over it for a long time you will come to
16:45
see the light of awareness in all its
16:49
clarity and the world will fade out of
16:53
your vision it is like looking at a
16:57
burning incense stick you see the stick
17:01
and the smoke first when you notice the
17:05
fiery point you realize that it has the
17:09
power to consume mountains of sticks and
17:13
fill the universe with smoke
17:17
[Music]
17:23
[Music]
17:28
awareness takes the place of
17:31
consciousness in consciousness there is
17:35
the I who is conscious while awareness
17:41
is undivided awareness is aware of
17:46
itself the I M is a thought while
17:53
awareness is not a thought there is no I
17:59
am aware in awareness consciousness is
18:06
an attribute while awareness is not one
18:12
can be aware of being conscious but not
18:15
conscious of awareness God is the
18:24
totality of consciousness but awareness
18:28
is beyond all being as well as not being
18:36
[Music]
18:43
there can be no transition from
18:47
consciousness to awareness for awareness
18:52
is not a form of consciousness
18:57
consciousness can only become more
19:00
subtle and refined and that is what
19:04
happens after death
19:06
[Music]
19:12
there is no such thing as
19:14
unconsciousness for unconsciousness is
19:19
not experienceable
19:22
[Music]
19:30
we live in one world only I see it as it
19:36
is while you don’t you see yourself in
19:43
the world while I see the world in
19:46
myself to you
19:51
you get born and die while to me the
19:57
world appears and disappears our world
20:05
is real but your view of it is not there
20:12
is no wall between us except the one
20:17
built by you
20:21
there is nothing wrong with the senses
20:25
it is your imagination that misleads you
20:31
it covers up the world as it is with
20:37
what you imagined it to be something
20:42
existing independently of you and yet
20:46
closely following your inherited or
20:49
acquired patterns there is a deep
20:55
contradiction in your attitude which you
20:58
do not see and which is the cause of
21:01
sorrow you cling to the idea that you
21:06
were born into a world of pain and
21:09
sorrow I know that the world is a child
21:16
of love having its beginning growth and
21:22
fulfillment in love but I am beyond love
21:30
even
21:41
you are the immensity and infinity of
21:47
consciousness
21:50
[Music]
22:01
with the enlightened man the content of
22:06
his consciousness undergoes a radical
22:09
transformation but he is not misled he
22:16
knows the changeless the paper is not
22:27
the writing yet it carries the writing
22:33
the ink is not the message nor is the
22:39
readers mind the message but they all
22:43
make the message possible
22:49
[Music]
22:54
there is only seeing both the seer and
23:00
the scene are contained in it
23:05
don’t create differences where there are
23:08
none before you were born you expected
23:17
to live according to a plan
23:19
which you yourself had laid down your
23:24
own will was the backbone of your
23:27
destiny
23:31
[Music]
23:46
I am like a cinema screen clear and
23:52
empty the pictures pass over it and
23:56
disappear leaving it as clear and empty
24:01
as before in no way is the screen
24:07
affected by the pictures nor are the
24:11
pictures affected by the screen the
24:15
screen intercepts and reflects the
24:19
pictures it does not shape them it has
24:24
nothing to do with the roles of films
24:28
these are as they are lumps of destiny
24:34
Purab de but not my destiny the
24:40
destinies of the people on the screen
24:56
to myself I am neither perceivable nor
25:02
conceivable there is nothing I can point
25:07
out and say this I am you identify
25:14
yourself with everything so easily I
25:18
find it impossible the feeling I am NOT
25:24
this or that nor is anything mine is so
25:28
strong in me that as soon as a thing or
25:32
a thought appears there comes at once
25:36
the sense this I am NOT
25:42
[Music]
25:50
I find that somehow by shifting the
25:55
focus of attention I become the very
25:59
thing I look at and experience the kind
26:03
of consciousness it has I become the
26:08
inner witness of the thing I call this
26:14
capacity of entering other focal points
26:17
of consciousness love you may give it
26:22
any name you like love says I am
26:29
everything and wisdom says I am nothing
26:37
between the two my life flows since at
26:45
any point of time and space I can be
26:49
both the subject and the object of
26:53
experience I express it by saying that I
26:58
am both and neither and beyond to both
27:04
[Music]
27:13
what makes you say these things you ask
27:18
and the answer comes I watch myself i
27:24
watch the answer and see no
27:27
contradiction it is clear to me that I
27:31
am telling you the truth it is all very
27:35
simple only you must trust me
27:39
that I mean what I say that I am quite
27:43
serious as I told you already
27:47
my guru showed me my true nature and the
27:51
true nature of the world having realized
27:56
that I am one with and yet beyond the
27:59
world
28:00
I became free from all desire and fear I
28:06
did not reason out that I should be free
28:09
I found myself free unexpectedly without
28:17
the least effort this freedom from
28:23
desire and fear has remained with me
28:25
since then another thing I noticed was
28:31
that I do not need to make an effort the
28:35
deed follows the thought without delay
28:40
and friction I have also found that
28:44
thoughts become self fulfilling things
28:49
would fall in place smoothly and rightly
28:54
the main change was in the mind it
28:57
became motionless and silent responding
29:03
quickly but not perpetuating the
29:06
response spontaneity became a way of
29:12
life
29:13
the real became natural and the natural
29:18
became real and above all infinite
29:24
affection love dark and quiet radiating
29:32
in all directions embracing all making
29:38
all interesting and beautiful
29:42
significant and auspicious
29:55
man’s five-fold body has potential
30:00
powers beyond our wildest dreams not
30:05
only is the entire universe reflected in
30:08
man but also the power to control the
30:12
universe is waiting to be used by him
30:17
the wise man is not anxious to use such
30:20
powers except when the situation calls
30:23
for them he finds the abilities and
30:27
skills of the human personality quite
30:30
adequate for the business of daily
30:33
living some of the powers can be
30:37
developed by specialized training but
30:40
the man who flaunts such powers is still
30:44
in bondage the wise man counts
30:49
nothing as his own
