consciousness itself is the source of
00:17
everything in reality only the ultimate
00:28
is the rest is a matter of name and form
00:37
what is real is nameless and formless
00:42
pure energy of life and light of
00:47
consciousness
00:56
the world and the mind are states of
01:00
being the supreme is not a state it
01:06
pervades all states but it is not a
01:09
state of something else it is entirely
01:14
uncaused independent complete in itself
01:19
beyond time and space mind and matter it
01:28
leaves no traces there is nothing to
01:31
recognize it by it must be seen directly
01:35
by giving up all search for signs and
01:39
approaches
01:48
plurality and diversity are the play of
01:53
the mind only reality is one it is deep
02:01
and dark mystery beyond mystery all
02:12
states and conditions are of the mind
02:22
not making use of one’s consciousness is
02:26
Samadhi you just leave your mind alone
02:31
you want nothing neither from your body
02:35
nor from your mind
02:44
everything is uncaused the world has no
02:49
cause I see only consciousness and know
03:01
everything to be but consciousness as
03:05
you know the picture on the cinema
03:07
screen to be but light the light does
03:14
not move at all what moves is the film
03:19
which is the mind
03:29
everything is interlinked and therefore
03:33
everything has numberless causes the
03:37
entire universe contributes to the least
03:40
thing a thing is as it is because the
03:46
world is as it is you see you deal in
03:51
gold ornaments and I in gold all is only
03:59
gold
04:04
[Music]
04:10
why worry so much about causation what
04:14
do causes matter when things themselves
04:17
are transient let come what comes and
04:22
let go what goes why catch hold of
04:26
things and inquire about their causes
04:30
there is only light and the light is all
04:35
everything else is but a picture made of
04:39
light the picture is in the light and
04:42
the light is in the picture life and
04:46
death self and non-self abandon all
04:51
these ideas they are of no use to you
05:02
when the mind is still absolutely silent
05:07
the waking state is no more
05:13
[Music]
05:24
[Music]
05:29
a world of which you are the only source
05:33
and ground is fully within your power to
05:36
change what is created can always be
05:41
dissolved and recreated all will happen
05:45
as you want it provided you really want
05:49
it always do to your having forgotten
06:00
your own being having given reality to
06:04
the picture on the screen you love its
06:07
people and suffer for them and seek to
06:10
save them it is just not so you must
06:15
begin with yourself there is no other
06:18
way work of course there is no harm in
06:23
working
06:32
to take appearance for reality is a
06:36
grievous sin and the cause of all
06:39
calamities you are the all-pervading
06:43
eternal and infinitely creative
06:47
awareness consciousness
06:52
[Music]
07:02
you pray to save one while thousands die
07:08
and if all stop dying
07:11
there will be no space on earth
07:14
[Music]
07:23
[Music]
07:29
all is God’s doing no doubt what is it
07:35
to me since I want nothing what can God
07:39
give me or take away from me what is
07:43
mine is mine and was mine even when God
07:48
was not of course it is a very tiny
07:54
little thing a speck the sense I am the
08:01
fact of being this is my own place
08:05
nobody gave it to me the earth is mine
08:10
what grows on it is God’s I am is the
08:18
root God is the tree whom am I to
08:24
worship and what for
08:29
am I the devotee or the object of
08:33
devotion
08:34
I am neither I am devotion itself
08:39
[Laughter]
08:42
[Music]
08:51
you got into the world by forgetting
08:54
what you are and you will get out of it
08:57
by knowing yourself as you are when you
09:02
are free of the world you can do
09:05
something about it
09:06
as long as you are a prisoner of it you
09:10
are helpless to change it
09:11
on the contrary whatever you do will
09:15
aggravate the situation
09:20
[Music]
09:26
righteousness will undoubtedly make you
09:30
and your world a comfortable even happy
09:33
place but what is the use there is no
09:36
reality in it it cannot last a man
09:43
willing to die for truth will get it
09:51
[Music]
09:55
the Yanni is the supreme and also the
09:59
witness he is both being and awareness
10:03
in relation to consciousness he is
10:07
awareness in relation to the universe he
10:11
is pure being
10:14
[Music]
10:21
the person is a very small thing
10:25
actually it is a composite it cannot be
10:30
said to exist by itself unperceived it
10:35
is just not there it is but the shadow
10:40
of the mind the sum total of memories
10:54
the supreme is the Sun it is the life
11:00
which contains both consciousness and
11:04
unconsciousness and is beyond both in
11:10
reality there is only consciousness all
11:14
life is conscious all consciousness
11:19
alive
11:31
you would be wiser to deny the existence
11:33
of what you imagine it is the imagined
11:39
that is unreal the unexpected and the
11:48
unpredictable are real one is always
12:02
free you are both conscious and free to
12:07
be conscious nobody can take this away
12:10
from you do you ever know yourself
12:15
non-existing or unconscious
12:22
[Music]
12:29
there is no how here just keep in mind
12:34
the feeling I am merge in it till your
12:40
mind and feeling become one by repeated
12:47
attempts you will stumble on the right
12:49
balance of attention and affection and
12:53
your mind will be firmly established in
12:57
the thought feeling I am
12:59
[Music]
13:12
correct your attitude to your body and
13:15
leave it alone don’t pamper don’t
13:19
torture just keep it going
13:23
most of the time below the threshold of
13:26
conscious attention
13:38
[Music]
13:41
the state of craving for anything blocks
13:46
all deeper experience nothing of value
13:53
can happen to a mind which knows exactly
13:56
what it wants for nothing the mind can
13:59
visualize and want is of much value want
14:05
the best the highest happiness the
14:09
greatest freedom desirelessness is the
14:13
highest bliss your aims are small and
14:25
low they do not call for more only God’s
14:30
energy is infinite because he wants
14:34
nothing for himself be like him and all
14:39
your desires will be fulfilled the
14:43
higher your aims and vaster your desires
14:46
the more energy you will have for their
14:49
fulfillment desire the good of all and
14:53
the universe will work with you
14:55
[Music]
15:07
what shall I find beyond the mind the
15:12
direct experience of being knowing and
15:17
loving
15:18
[Music]
15:29
I trusted my guru I did what he told me
15:33
to do he told me to concentrate on I am
15:38
and I did he told me that I am beyond
15:43
all perceivable and conceivable I
15:47
believed I gave my heart and soul my
15:52
entire attention and the whole of my
15:55
spare time as a result of faith and
15:59
earnest application I realized my self
16:03
within three years establish yourself
16:14
firmly in the awareness of I am this is
16:20
the beginning and also the end of all
16:24
endeavor
16:24
[Music]
16:33
awareness is my nature ultimately I am
16:38
beyond being and non-being meditation
16:51
will help you to find your bonds loosen
16:54
them untie them and cast your moorings
16:58
when you are no longer attached to
17:01
anything you have done your share the
17:05
rest will be done for you by the same
17:10
power that brought you so far that
17:13
prompted your heart to desire truth and
17:15
your mind to seek it it is the same
17:19
power that keeps you alive you may call
17:23
it life or the absolute supreme
17:27
[Music]
17:39
to realize the eternal is to become the
17:43
eternal the whole the universe with all
17:48
it contains every event is the effect
17:53
and the expression of the whole and is
17:57
in fundamental harmony with the whole
17:59
all response from the whole must be
18:03
right effortless and instantaneous to be
18:20
a person you must be self conscious are
18:25
you so always not when I sleep during
18:31
your waking hours are you continually
18:34
self conscious No
18:38
are you a person during the gaps in self
18:41
consciousness so to be a person you need
18:48
memory and without memory
18:51
what are you surely you can exist
18:56
without memory
19:06
[Music]
19:09
can you tell me what you are in the
19:12
intervals in between experiencing
19:15
yourself as a person shall we call it
19:19
impersonal existence do you remember
19:27
every second of yesterday of course not
19:32
were you then unconscious of course not
19:37
so you are conscious and yet you do not
19:41
remember yes maybe you were conscious
19:46
and sleep and just do not remember
19:48
[Music]
20:10
even a dream has existence when it is
20:15
cognized to end enjoyed or endured
20:19
whatever you think and feel has been but
20:25
it may not be what you take it to be
20:28
what you think to be a person may be
20:31
something quite different your ideas
20:42
about yourself change from day to day
20:45
and from moment to moment your
20:49
self-image is the most changeful thing
20:52
you have it is utterly vulnerable at the
20:58
mercy of a passerby a bereavement the
21:02
loss of a job an insult and your image
21:06
of yourself which you call your person
21:09
changes deeply to know what you are you
21:14
must first investigate and know what you
21:17
are not
21:17
[Music]
21:26
the clear you understand that on the
21:29
level of the mind you can be described
21:32
in negative terms only the quicker you
21:35
will come to the end of your search and
21:37
realize your limitless being
21:50
[Music]
21:55
consciousness consciousness itself is
21:59
the greatest painter the entire world is
22:03
a picture the painter is in the picture
22:09
I see a painter painting a picture the
22:14
picture I call the world
22:16
the painter I call God
22:19
I am neither I do not create nor am I
22:25
created I contain all nothing contains
22:31
me
22:36
[Music]
22:39
as you learn to watch your mental world
22:42
you will find it even more colorful and
22:45
perfect than what the body can provide
22:49
[Music]
22:57
[Music]
23:01
remember that language is an instrument
23:05
of the mind it is made by the mind for
23:10
the mind
23:22
it is like entering a dark room you’ve
23:26
seen nothing you may touch but you do
23:30
not see no colors no outlines the
23:38
windows open and the room is flooded
23:40
with light colors and shapes come into
23:44
being the window is the giver of light
23:47
but not the source of it the Sun is the
23:52
source
23:54
similarly matter is like the darkroom
23:59
consciousness the window flooding matter
24:02
with sensations and perceptions and the
24:07
supreme is the Sun the source both of
24:11
matter and of light the window may be
24:15
closed or open the Sun shines all the
24:19
time it makes all the difference to the
24:22
room but none to the Sun yet all this is
24:28
secondary to the tiny little thing which
24:32
is the I am without the I am there is
24:38
nothing all knowledge is about the I am
24:44
false ideas about this I am lead to
24:48
bondage right knowledge leads to freedom
24:52
and happiness
24:55
[Music]
25:04
to exist means to be something a thing a
25:10
feeling a thought an idea all existence
25:16
is particular only being is universal in
25:21
the sense that every being is compatible
25:25
with every other being existence is
25:29
clash being never existence means
25:35
becoming change birth and death and
25:39
birth again while in being there is
25:43
silent peace
25:47
[Music]
25:52
if I create the world
25:54
why have I made it so bad everyone lives
25:59
in his own world not all the worlds are
26:04
equally good or bad what determines the
26:11
difference the mind that projects the
26:15
world colors it its own way when you
26:22
meet a man he is a stranger when you
26:26
marry him he becomes your own self when
26:30
you quarrel he becomes your enemy it is
26:34
your minds attitude that determines what
26:37
he is to you
26:38
[Music]
26:50
reality lies in objectivity everything
26:56
is subjective but the real is objective
27:00
it does not depend on memories and
27:03
expectations desires and fears likes and
27:08
dislikes all is seen as it is
27:12
[Music]
27:18
the person is never the subject you can
27:23
see a person but you are not the person
27:26
you are always the supreme which appears
27:30
at a given point of time in space as the
27:34
witness a bridge between the pure
27:37
awareness of the supreme and the
27:40
manifold consciousness of the person
27:43
[Music]
27:52
once you realize that whatever appears
27:56
before you cannot be yourself and cannot
27:59
say I am you are free of all your
28:03
persons and their demands the sense I am
28:07
is your own you cannot part with it but
28:12
you can impart it to anything as in
28:16
saying I am young I am rich and so on
28:21
but such self identifications are
28:25
patently false and the cause of bondage
28:34
[Music]
28:37
to know the source is to be the source
28:43
when you realize that you are not the
28:46
person but the pure and calm witness and
28:49
that fearless awareness is your very
28:53
being you are the being it is the source
28:58
the inexhaustible possibility
29:12
the supreme makes everything possible
29:17
that is all
29:20
everything is its own cause
29:28
consciousness contains all in
29:32
consciousness all is possible the root
29:36
cause is one the sense I am
29:50
the supreme is the easiest to reach for
29:55
it is your very being it is enough to
29:58
stop thinking and desiring anything but
30:02
the supreme
30:15
the world is full of desires everybody
30:18
wants something or other
30:20
who is the desirer the person or the
30:24
self the self all desires holy and
30:31
unholy come from the self
30:34
they all hang on the sense I am all
30:40
desires aim at happiness
30:44
[Music]
30:50
