(*Music You are always going to feel it as an object because you are limited by the body and mind.
This is not going to suddenly dissolve into thin air and you will not see any more objects.
Mythology that is all stories.
It's for kids.
It's not real.
Till you kick the bucket,
Even if you get enlightened,
You will still continue to see objects.
Okay.
Enlightened people continue to see objects.
Okay.
Enlightened people have a mind till the end.
Nothing changes.
Not a single thing will change.
Not at all.
Yes.
The only difference,
There is a shift in perspective instead of looking at things through the level of the mind that I like this,
I hate this,
I prefer this,
I don't prefer this,
This drama,
This is where we are all the time consumed in.
The enlightened person is a step behind in that stillness.
Always knowing that the thoughts arise in the mind and they go.
Always knowing feelings arise,
They go.
People come and they go.
The person is established in that stillness,
The knowingness.
When he starts recognizing this,
He also recognizes that everything is this knowingness.
This knowingness is nothing like a background and there is a foreground here.
It is like an ocean.
It is like an ocean of awareness,
Like an ocean of knowingness.
Everything is nothing but made of knowingness.
Even the so-called object,
Even this object is knowingness.
There is no proof that this is matter.
Even scientists are experimenting whether this is matter or not.
So forget about lay people claiming that this has to be matter.
It's,
We don't know yet.
We have no idea.
But Advaita Vedanta said so many years ago that as I perceive this world,
That is an illusion.
That is not true.
All I know of this matter is perceiving.
When I touch,
I only experience some sensation.
The sensation is experienced by my mind.
The sensing is a different than knowing.
Knowing and sensing are happening together at the same time.
Sensing is just another label given to knowing.
So really there is nothing other than knowing.
Whether it is touching or even seeing.
I am seeing forms and seeing names and forms.
That's all these are.
I know names and forms the moment I see them.
There is no time gap in knowing and seeing.
It is happening at the same time.
So whatever objects are there,
The seeing and knowing is the seeing.
Seeing is made up of knowing.
That is all that is there in the world.
Knowing,
There is knowing of seeing,
Tasting,
Touching,
Smelling or hearing.
Everything is just knowing.
Even the thinking about seeing,
Touching,
Tasting,
Smelling and hearing.
Even just the thoughts of them,
Even the thinking is nothing but knowing.
So really,
Really,
Really,
That is all I know.
That there is knowingness pervading everywhere.
I don't know if this is an object or not.
There is only knowingness.
I don't know if there is an object outside.
Where is touching happening?
Where is the sensing of touching happening?
Outside somewhere?
Touching of this object is happening where?
So,
Yeah,
Inside.
The sensing,
Yeah,
I am sensing here.
And how far is the here from the knower?
One inch,
One centimeter,
No,
Right there.
Knowingness is sensing.
Knowingness is touching.
Knowingness is tasting.
This entire world is only made of knowingness.
How to get established?
Yeah,
We have no idea how to get established.
Every time you have to remind yourself.
When you are with your children,
When you are with your wife.
I just am knowing this.
There is no difference between knowingness and this object.
Yeah,
Why am I getting involved in the drama?
That is the ego.
The ego identifies falsely with things and creates drama with wife,
With child,
With boss,
With friend.
All this is just drama.
Again and again,
Come back to the knowingness.
I am not saying don't do your regular vyabhar in the world.
No,
No,
You will have to do all your interactions with wife,
With child,
With friend,
With colleague.
You do everything.
But being established where?
Knowingness.
In this stillness.
Perfectly.
And you will experience that quality of knowingness becoming bigger and bigger and bigger.
Thank you.
