Let's do a self-exploration meditation on personal world creation.
Let's close our eyes,
Sit comfortably,
Let's relax the whole body,
Relax the mind.
Take your attention beyond the body and beyond the mind and rest as the witness,
Bring to your attention that there is only one experience,
The experience of the now,
We never ever step out of the now,
Whatever we experience,
We always experience it in the now,
The now is limited,
The now is constantly changing,
Whatever was in the previous now is not there in the present now,
The now is transitory,
There is no permanency in the now,
In our actual direct experience,
There is no difference between the I and the now,
Recognize this experientially,
I am the now,
We all experience this oneness between the I and the now,
Daily in the state of deep sleep,
In the now there is no continuity,
There is no story,
There is the plain simple nothingness,
We experience this nothingness daily in the state of deep sleep,
Rest as that nothingness,
Remember how you arose from the deep sleep state this morning,
At first there was simply the sense of being,
There was nothingness in that sense of being,
In that nothingness arose the sense of I am,
The sense of I yearns for more,
It yearns for diversity,
It yearns for permanency,
It yearns for continuity,
None of these can be found in the now,
The I projects itself in the form of a thought,
This is the birth of the notion I am the mind,
That is how we transition from the deep sleep state into the dream state.
Within the dream state there is the birth of a private,
Unshareable,
Mind made,
Temporary thought,
Thought is enclosed within the mind,
This thought projects a private,
Unshareable,
Mind made,
Temporary mental feeling,
The mental feeling is enclosed within the mind,
The mental feeling in turn projects a private,
Unshareable,
Mind made,
Temporary physical sensation,
The sensation is enclosed within the mind,
The sensation gives birth to the notion I am the body,
This is how we move from the dream state to the waking state,
The waking state is nothing but a combination of thought,
Feeling and sensation,
All these get translated into perception,
The waking state is also private and enclosed within the mind,
The privately enclosed combination of thought plus feeling plus sensation,
Together project an unshareable,
Mind made,
Temporary perception of sight,
The privately enclosed combination of thought,
Feeling plus sensation,
Together project an unshareable,
Mind made,
Temporary perception of sight,
There are no colors,
Shapes or sizes in the external world,
Colors,
Shapes and sizes are simply inside out projections,
The privately enclosed combination of thought plus feeling plus sensation,
Project a temporary perception of sound,
The perception of sound is unshareable,
Mind made and private,
There are no sounds in the external physical world,
Sounds are simply inside out projections,
The combination of thought plus feeling plus sensation,
Project the perception of smell,
The perception of smell is unshareable,
Mind made,
Privately enclosed,
There are no odors or smells in the external world,
Odors or smells are simply inside out projections,
The combination of thought plus feeling plus sensation,
Project the perception of taste,
The perception of taste is unshareable,
Mind made,
Temporary and privately enclosed,
There are no flavors in the external world,
Flavors are simply inside out projections,
The combination of thought plus feeling plus sensation,
Project the perception of touch,
The perception of touch is private,
Unshareable,
Mind made and temporary,
There are no textures in the external world,
Textures are simply inside out projections,
Colors,
Shapes,
Sizes,
Sound,
Smell,
Taste,
Touch are all simply pots,
All these thoughts are the creation of a personal world,
You call this personal world as life,
Nobody can enter your personal world,
Nobody can see as you see,
Nobody can hear as you hear,
Nobody can feel your feelings,
Nobody can experience your emotions,
Nobody can think your thoughts,
In your personal world,
You are truly alone,
In your personal world,
You are enclosed in your ever-changing dream,
Which you take as your life,
The mind cannot accept this reality,
The mind creates a false belief that the external physical world is full of people,
Full of things,
The mind creates a belief of the existence of matter,
The mind creates a belief of the existence of matter,
The mind creates a belief that the external physical world is the source of love and happiness,
This is how we create our personal world,
Nisargadatta Maharaj says that he does not live in this fantasy land,
He urges us to take a step beyond thought,
Feeling,
Sensation and perception,
Step beyond the waking state and the dream state,
Back to the deep sleep state,
Back to the source of nothingness,
Back to the plain,
Empty,
Peaceful,
Serene,
Nothingness of the being,
Back to where there is no yearning,
Back to the state where there is no I,
Back to the state where there is no I,
