#69. Ego or Love, What Do You Choose? | Vigyan Bhairav Tantra

There is no such thing as conditional love. Either there is love, or there is a condition. If there is a condition, there is ego. If there is love, there is freedom.

Namaste sannyasa family and everyone.

A very warm welcome to all of you in this daily live meditation session with me,

The Hansa.

We are meditating on 112 meditation techniques of Vigyan Bhairav Tantra.

Let me remind you that Tantra is a love story,

A love story between Bhairavi and Bhairava.

The goddess Bhairavi,

She comes up with questions.

She looks at the world,

She looks at herself,

She has questions.

What is this world?

Who am I?

What is the nature of my reality?

And with all these questions,

With all these doubts,

She asks Bhairava to break her free out of these questions,

Out of these doubts.

The unconsciousness in you is coming to the consciousness in you,

Asking it to merge with the conscious,

Asking it to relieve you out of your doubts,

Out of all the miseries that arise out of those doubts.

Tantra is that love story.

When Bhairavi is coming to Bhairava,

He is open and receptive to Bhairava,

So that Bhairava can clear all these doubts,

So that Bhairava can take Bhairavi out of all these questions,

Not answering the questions,

Taking Bhairavi out of these questions.

These 112 techniques that we have been going over the past months have been all an effort for the consciousness in you to rise and take you out of the unconsciousness,

For your unconsciousness to fall in love with your consciousness,

For your unconsciousness to become open and receptive to the conscious in you,

So that there is a merger between that unconscious and conscious,

And that conscious takes you out of the misery,

Takes you out of all the doubts that are there in you,

In your unconsciousness.

On this journey,

As meditators come along with these vibrations,

The unconsciousness in them also rises,

Raises all the questions,

Hoping that the conscious is resolving those questions once again there is a meeting within of the unconscious and the conscious and there are no doubts anymore.

In our sannyasa family,

These questions are also arising in the meditators,

Which is a sign that the tantra vibration is touching them,

Everything that was suppressed within,

That was somewhere lying in one of the corners is now rising,

The unconscious is rising,

Waiting to merge in the conscious,

Waiting to be resolved,

Waiting to come out of all doubts of all questions.

Let us take one more experience of this rising of the question of the doubt in the meditator,

In the authenticity of the meditator,

And how this is resolved,

How this settles back into the consciousness and there are no doubts and there are no nazeries anymore.

The meditator says,

I love every soul on this planet,

But it is very hard for me to love every person and their personalities.

It is very hard for me to be around people who are not real and authentic.

I get annoyed by someone or what they are saying or doing.

Am I supposed to get along with everyone and not get annoyed by anything when I am at peace with myself?

I really want to be in peace with everyone and not to let anything affect my inner peace.

How to be in a community,

Workplace,

School,

Etc.

With people you don't really get along with without acting from your own emotions or judging or losing your inner peace.

Be loving,

Understanding and balanced towards yourself and others.

The Bhairavi in you rises to ask Bhairava what to do when these things arise.

Relieve me out of these doubts.

The Bhairava in you says,

To your questions,

You are wanting the world to serve you.

You in your questions are wanting the world to serve some idea of how the world should be for you.

You are wanting that the world should become in such a way that serves and fits your idea of love so that you can be loving,

So that you can enjoy love to the world because this world is in a certain way.

See that not only you,

Everyone wants the world to be in their own way and that is the problem why the world is the way it is if there is any problem.

Because everyone wants to have the world in their own way.

That is not love.

That is ego.

There is ego which is nicely packaged,

Hidden in the idea of love,

Wanting to have the world be in the way the ego wants the world to be in.

This energy that is there underneath the so-called love is of ego from which this question,

This urge,

This rant is rising on the world where you want the world to be in a certain way and the whole world is built on such egos of everyone.

See all the leaders of the world,

Everyone is trying to assert some in some or the other way their ego,

Their version of how the world should be,

Their version of how the world should serve them,

How the world should be a place for them.

And you can see the result of this world.

Of course ego also has a certain place.

I am not saying that ego is bad.

This is ego which has created the world the way we live in,

The system that we live in,

The fundamental fabric of this system that we live in is ego.

It has made things functional,

It has made things look progressive,

It has given you the idea that there is this world of progress that we are in and a system to live in.

But see that the fundamental fabric,

The fundamental unit of the way this world is,

Is built on ego.

And you in the name of love are trying to assert the same thing out of unconsciousness.

You have the intent to be loving but out of unconsciousness.

The energy that you bring out is of the ego.

And if you take that energy out further,

If you push that energy out further into the world,

You are not bringing love into the world,

You are bringing your ego out in the world.

There is nothing wrong with that as well,

But see the price that you pay for that.

When you act out of ego,

When you assert your ego,

Your version of how the things should be on the world,

You suffer.

You suffer,

That's the price that you pay for being in the ego.

What you could have done as an alternate is to serve the world with your love,

Without having any idea of what the world should be.

Unconditional love for all.

In fact,

Love is always unconditional.

There is nothing like a conditional love.

Conditional love is a very nice package to something that has ego inside.

There is nothing like a conditional love.

If you say love,

That is enough to say it is unconditional.

The energy of the love is unconditional.

And in that energy,

In that love,

There is freedom.

In that love,

There is no imposition of your idea how the world should be.

There is no imposition of how the world should serve you,

How the world should and should not be.

What you have to see,

Are you asserting your ego on the world,

Trying it to become something,

Or you are acting out of love.

Mouli Shaf wanted to marry his girlfriend,

But his girlfriend was an atheist and the family of Mouli Shaf did not want an atheist in the family.

So they said to Mouli,

You know,

If she loves you,

She will listen to you,

Tell her about your religion,

And I'm sure she will see God,

She will become an atheist again.

Mouli said,

Okay,

Let me give it a try.

So he spoke to his girlfriend,

Told her all about religion,

Told her all about what he knew about religion,

How good theism is,

How bad atheism is,

And so on.

And that went on for several months.

A few months later,

Mouli went back to his mother.

Looked very sad.

Mother said,

What happened?

So is she ready to be a part of her family?

He said,

Well,

I think I overdid my teachings.

She is now so much a feast,

She has become a nun and left me.

Don't try to impose your ideas on the world,

How the world should be.

Be in love,

Express that love onto the world,

And don't be concerned how the other person is.

Out of your love,

Everything is transformed.

Otherwise you live in this energy of the ego,

Or just the way things are on the mundane,

And only when you rise yourself above to the love,

There is freedom in it,

In which it does not matter how the other is.

What matters is what is your experience,

And your experience of love is freedom.

And whatever that leads to,

Whatever spontaneous action responds,

Anything that leads to requiring in that moment.

If you want to raise yourself even higher than love,

Then that vibration is of emptiness.

So ego is a vibration which is lower than life.

And the vibration of life is where you try to hold onto life,

You try to have all the experiences of the life within this vibration.

Love is a higher vibration than life itself.

There is freedom in that love,

There is no sense of where this leads,

What consequence does this lead to?

There is absolute freedom in that,

And the highest freedom of emptiness,

Of silence,

Of awareness.

So see what you want to live in your life.

Decide what you want to live in life,

And every vibration has a certain price to pay.

There are no free lunches in the world.

Couple of minor nuances in your question.

You say,

It is very hard for me to be around people who are not real and authentic.

In the silence,

In the meditation,

Ask yourself,

Are you real?

Are you authentic?

If the answer is yes,

In that authenticity,

Be in love.

And leave everything else to the love to decide whether the other person is authentic or not.

How to be with the world which is not authentic in your version,

In your way of understanding and judging authenticity and reality of the world.

You say,

I really want to be in peace with everyone and not to let anything affect my inner peace.

That is only possible if you do not approach the world with your ego.

With your ego,

There will always be a conflict between you and the world.

You will always remain under this stress of somehow making sure that the world is according to you and only when you are in love.

This inner conflict between you and the world completely disappears.

That is where peace is.

That is where there is peace for you and there is peace for everyone else.

Let us take these moments to be in silence,

To be in love,

To move from the vibration of ego,

From trying to control things,

From trying to have things in a certain way,

To have a let go in life.

To have a let go where let things be just the way you are.

Your body be just the way it is.

Your mind be just the way it is.

Let the world be just the way it is.

From ego to the let go,

In that let go,

Love will arise in you.

As love arises in you,

Be in the love.

As that love arises in you,

Silence also follows.

When silence arises in you,

Be in silence.

That is the journey that we will take in the next minutes.

From the ego to the let go,

To love,

To silence.

Please close your eyes and take a posture that is comfortable for you.

Try not trying to hold the posture.

A natural relaxed restful state.

Awareness on your body.

And allowing the body to be the way it is without trying to hold anything about the body.

Awareness on your mind.
