Music Intellect.
No,
Actually you have to really understand that I had only understood this much before and I believed only this much.
Yes?
But there is more outside this range.
For example,
Is the sky blue or colourless?
What do we really see when we look up?
We see blue.
So here I hold on to my conditioning.
So now I am recognising that I am just holding on to conditioning.
That's it.
I am holding on to conditioning and that conditioning has created a limit in me and that limit,
The ego says this is I and you will never be able to break this limit through 100 years of Bhakti or dancing.
You will not be able to break this limit through any yogas or pranayams if you don't realise there is a false limit created.
Do you see what I am saying?
So here the intellect is required to break this false boundary to see,
Oh,
The sky is actually colourless but it appears blue to these eyes because these eyes have a range.
Beyond this range,
Above or below,
The eyes cannot see.
Oh,
You know the acceptance of the limitedness of the body and the acceptance of the limitedness of the mind has been forgotten.
It is not there only and that is what Advaita tends to erode in you,
The wrong understanding.
So the Bhakti,
Pranayams,
Dancing,
Hours of just sitting and meditating means where the mind is focusing on an object and ignoring the knower.
That is the essence.
That is who I am.
I am not this mind.
If you don't recognise this through your understanding,
It is impossible to get enlightened.
So this much jnana will come even on the last stretch of the Bhaktipata.
Otherwise you will not get enlightened by the Bhaktipata.
This much jnana will come at the last stretch of your dhana yoga path or your whatever pranayams,
Whatever you do.
If that is removed,
Eliminated,
You will be standing at that door all your life and you will not open the door.
Do you get it?
It's got nothing to do with intellect.
This is not intellect.
There's got no intelligence involved really.
The knower,
Even an ignorant person on the road knows who has never done spirituality,
Who has never read a spiritual book,
Who has never gone to a guru.
He also knows,
Yeah,
There is a knower.
It's always there.
I know even when I get angry,
I know there is somebody watching,
I feel.
Everybody has the sense of the field of knowingness,
But everybody ignores it very conveniently.
And because everybody ignores it very conveniently,
Then different paths came out.
Okay,
You do this,
You do this,
You do this and they are not wrong.
They will all take you there.
I have taught you all those paths.
Yes?
So they take you there,
But they are longer paths and this is the direct path.
Yes?
Advaita says 90% of the people are standing outside the door and unnecessarily wasting 20 years,
Doing yoga and pranayama and bhakti.
They are hoping that the door will open on its own.
No,
You will have to hold the knob,
Turn it and open the door.
And this is the meaning of turning the knob and opening the door.
Letting go of the conditioning,
Letting go of the limitedness of the mind,
Letting go of the limitedness of the body and recognising and that field of knowingness.
If this last step is missed,
Spirituality is missed altogether.
God Bless!
