00:13
only desires motivated by love goodwill
00:18
and compassion are beneficial to both
00:21
the subject and object and can be fully
00:25
satisfied
00:29
[Music]
00:34
passion is painful compassion never the
00:40
entire universe strives to fulfill a
00:43
desire born of compassion
00:48
[Music]
01:01
the source of all has all whatever flows
01:06
from it must be there already in seed
01:09
form and as a seed is the last of
01:13
innumerable seeds and contains the
01:16
experience and the promise of numberless
01:19
forests so does the unknown contain all
01:22
that was or could have been and all that
01:26
shall or would be the entire field of
01:30
becoming is open and accessible past and
01:35
future coexist in the eternal now
01:47
[Music]
01:53
I am fully conscious but since no desire
01:58
or fear enters my mind there is perfect
02:02
silence
02:10
[Music]
02:17
who knows the silence silence knows
02:23
itself
02:29
[Music]
02:38
freedom from desire means this the
02:42
compulsion to satisfy is absent
02:46
[Music]
03:04
desires arise because you imagined that
03:07
you were born and that you will die if
03:10
you do not take care of your body desire
03:14
for embodied existence is the root cause
03:18
of trouble
03:29
to know itself the self must be faced
03:33
with its opposite the not-self
03:43
desire leads to experience experience
03:47
leads to discrimination detachment
03:51
self-knowledge liberation and what is
03:56
liberation after all to know that you
04:00
are beyond birth and death
04:04
[Music]
04:17
outside of the self there is nothing
04:21
always one and all is contained in I am
04:27
in the waking and dream states it is the
04:32
person in deep sleep and Toria
04:36
it is the self all is one in essence and
04:42
related in appearance truth is simple
05:02
and open to all
05:06
why do you complicate it truth is loving
05:12
and lovable it includes all accepts all
05:20
purifies all it is untruth that is
05:28
difficult and a source of trouble
05:32
it always wants expects demands being
05:39
false it is empty
05:41
always in search of confirmation and
05:45
reassurance it is afraid of and avoids
05:50
inquiry
06:02
pursue any desire it will always give
06:06
you trouble
06:07
[Music]
06:15
nothing can set you free because you are
06:19
free see yourself with the desireless
06:26
clarity that is all
06:33
[Music]
06:40
how can time help you time is a
06:45
succession of moments each moment
06:49
appears out of nothing
06:51
and disappears into nothing never to
06:55
reappear how can you build on something
06:59
so fleeting
07:04
[Music]
07:10
look to yourself for the permanent dive
07:15
deep within and find what is real in you
07:23
[Music]
07:33
give up all questions except one Who am
07:40
I after all the only fact you are sure
07:46
of is that you are the I am is certain
07:52
the I am this is not struggle to find
07:58
out what you are in reality
08:08
[Music]
08:14
I am itself is God the seeking itself is
08:21
God the consciousness in you and the
08:27
consciousness in me apparently to really
08:32
one seek unity and that is love
08:39
[Laughter]
08:42
[Music]
08:49
what do you love now the I am give your
08:55
heart and mind to it think of nothing
08:59
else this when effortless and natural is
09:05
the highest state in it love itself is
09:10
the lover and the beloved
09:13
[Music]
09:23
all desire has its source in the south
09:28
it is all a matter of choosing the right
09:32
desire
09:45
only what liberate you from desire and
09:49
fear and wrong ideas is good as long as
09:55
you worry about sin and virtue you will
09:58
have no peace sin and virtue refer to a
10:07
person only without a sinful or virtuous
10:12
person what is sin or virtue at the
10:17
level of the absolute there are no
10:19
persons the ocean of pure awareness is
10:24
neither virtuous nor sinful sin and
10:30
virtue are invariably relative
10:34
[Music]
10:43
the impersonal is real the personal
10:47
appears and dissapears I am is the
10:52
impersonal being I am this is the person
10:58
the person is relative and the pure
11:02
being a fundamental go beyond the
11:09
personal and see
11:13
[Music]
11:23
I do not ask you to stop being that you
11:27
cannot I ask you only to stop imagining
11:31
that you were born half parents are a
11:35
body will die and so on just try make a
11:43
beginning it is not as hard as you think
11:55
[Music]
11:59
the impersonal cannot be described in
12:02
terms of good and bad it is being wisdom
12:08
love all absolute where is the scope for
12:14
sin there
12:15
and virtue is only the opposite of sin
12:22
[Music]
12:26
what you are really is your virtue but
12:31
the opposite of sin which you call
12:33
virtue is only obedience born out of
12:38
fear
12:49
then why all the effort at being good it
12:54
keeps you on the move you go on and on
12:58
till you find God then God takes you
13:03
into himself
13:04
and makes you as he is
13:07
[Music]
13:17
[Music]
13:19
whatever you do against your better
13:22
knowledge is sin
13:39
[Music]
13:40
[Laughter]
13:47
[Music]
13:53
to the spirit there is no second when
13:59
the psyche is perfect duality is no
14:03
longer seen
14:09
[Music]
14:15
a man who moves with the earth will
14:20
necessarily experience days and nights
14:24
he who stays with the Sun will know no
14:28
darkness my world is not yours as I see
14:35
it you all are on a stage performing
14:39
there is no reality about your comings
14:42
and goings and your problems are so
14:47
unreal
14:50
[Music]
14:59
stop stop hurting yourself and others
15:05
stop suffering wake up
15:19
when you begin to question your dream
15:23
awakening will not be far away
15:36
[Music]
15:41
there is nothing to do just be do
15:47
nothing be I do not even say be yourself
15:57
since you do not know yourself just be
16:03
having seen that you are neither body
16:06
nor mind just to be
16:10
[Music]
16:26
unconcious sadhana spiritual practice is
16:30
most effective because it is spontaneous
16:34
and steady what a man appears to do or
16:50
not to do is often deceptive is apparent
16:55
lethargy maybe just a gathering of
16:58
strength the causes of our behavior are
17:01
very subtle one must not be quick to
17:05
condemn not even to praise remember that
17:09
Yoga is the work of the inner self on
17:12
the outer self all that the outer does
17:16
is merely in response to the inner
17:22
[Music]
17:33
he inner is the source of inspiration
17:37
the outer is moved by memory the mistake
17:47
of students consists in their imagining
17:51
the inner to be something to get hold of
17:54
and forgetting that all perceivable –zz
17:57
are transient and therefore unreal only
18:03
that which makes perception possible
18:05
call it life or Brahman or what you like
18:09
is real the body seeks to live it is not
18:24
life that needs the body it is the body
18:28
that needs life
18:29
[Music]
18:41
life is love and love is life what keeps
18:50
the body together but love what is
18:56
desire but love of the self what is fear
19:02
but the urge to protect and what is
19:07
knowledge but the love of truth the
19:12
means and forms may be wrong but the
19:16
motive behind is always love love of the
19:21
me and the mine for me and the mine may
19:28
be small or may explode and embrace the
19:33
universe but love love remains
19:39
[Music]
19:48
steady faith is stronger than destiny
19:53
destiny is the result of causes mostly
19:57
accidental and is therefore loosely
20:00
woven confidence and good hope will
20:04
overcome it easily
20:06
[Music]
20:37
the Guru the Yanni thinks feels and acts
20:44
integrally and in unity with all that
20:48
lives he may not even know the theory
20:51
and practice of self-realization and be
20:55
born and bred free of religious and
20:57
metaphysical notions but there will not
21:00
be the least flaw in his understanding
21:03
and compassion
21:09
[Music]
21:15
the Yanni does not identify himself with
21:18
name and shape he uses memory but memory
21:24
cannot use him all desire is born from
21:37
memory and is within the realm of
21:39
consciousness what is beyond is clear of
21:44
all striving the very desire to go
21:47
beyond consciousness is still in
21:50
consciousness
22:00
even pure awareness is a form of
22:03
consciousness emptiness refers only to
22:15
consciousness fullness and emptiness are
22:19
relative terms
22:21
the real is really beyond beyond not in
22:26
relation to consciousness but beyond all
22:30
relations of whatever kind the
22:33
difficulty comes with the word state the
22:38
real is not a state of something else it
22:41
is not a state of mind or consciousness
22:44
or psyche nor is it something that has a
22:48
beginning and an end being and not-being
22:52
all opposites are contained in it but it
22:56
is not in the play of opposites you must
23:01
not take it to be the end of a
23:03
transition it is itself after the
23:07
consciousness as such is no more then
23:11
words I am man or I am God have no
23:16
meaning only in silence and in darkness
23:21
can it be heard and seen
23:24
[Music]
23:32
[Music]
23:45
your world is transient changeful my
23:53
world is perfect changeless you can tell
23:59
me what you like about your world I
24:02
shall listen carefully even with
24:05
interest yet not for a moment shall I
24:10
forget that your world is not that you
24:13
are dreaming
24:24
my world has no characteristics by which
24:28
it can be identified you can say nothing
24:32
about it I am my world my world is
24:37
myself it is complete and perfect every
24:45
impression is erased every experience
24:49
rejected I need nothing not even myself
24:55
for myself I cannot lose my world is
25:08
single and very simple in my world
25:14
nothing happens
25:23
mine is a nonverbal world my world is
25:31
real while yours is made of dreams
25:37
[Music]
25:44
talk is in your world in mine there is
25:50
eternal silence my silence seems my
25:57
emptiness is full I lack nothing you
26:04
cannot know my world until you are there
26:08
[Music]
26:20
I am alone for I am all you should
26:36
consider more closely your own world
26:41
examine it critically and suddenly one
26:46
day you will find yourself in mine what
26:52
do we gain by it you gain nothing you
26:58
leave behind what is not your own and
27:01
find what you have never lost your own
27:06
being
27:07
[Music]
27:12
there are no ruler and ruled here there
27:18
is no duality whatsoever
27:21
[Music]
27:41
still you have a name and shape display
27:47
consciousness and activity in your world
27:51
I appear so in mine I have being only
27:58
nothing else you people are rich with
28:03
your ideas of possession of quantity and
28:07
quality
28:09
I am completely without ideas you are
28:18
free to leave your world from mine
28:34
[Music]
28:35
how
28:38
see your world as it is not as you
28:44
imagine it to be discrimination will
28:49
lead to detachment detachment will
28:52
ensure right action right action will
28:56
build the inner bridge to your real
28:58
being action is a proof of earnestness
29:03
do what you are told diligently and
29:07
faithfully and all obstacles will
29:11
dissolve are you happy in your world I
29:22
would be most miserable to wake up to
29:27
eat to talk to sleep again what a bother
29:33
so you do not want to live even to live
29:38
to die what meaningless words are these
29:42
when you see me alive I am dead when you
29:47
think me dead I am Alive
29:57
all the sorrows of our world are as
30:00
nothing to you I am quite conscious of
30:04
your troubles then what are you doing
30:07
about them there is nothing I need do
30:12
they come and they go
30:23
[Music]
30:33
my world is real
30:37
yours is of the mind
30:44
[Music]
30:48
you
30:50
[Music]
