The awareness knows that the body is lying on the bed and it is unconscious.
And the awareness knows that the mind is probably having dreams or it's not having dreams.
That is the primordial awareness.
That is the turiya.
So that is what we are practicing in the sense of I am when we did that meditation last week where the I arises and again it falls.
Sense of I am arose when you meditated last week and that you saw it falling again it arose and again it fell again it arose again it fell you remember that when it had fallen didn't you know that it has fallen even when it falls you were still knowing that it has collapsed no who knew who is knowing that there is no witness consciousness that sense of I am is the witness consciousness when the witness consciousness has collapsed who is knowing that there is no witness consciousness right now you know till then meditation more So Divi as I understand this and somewhat experiences that it is like when you explain about being in the now first you have the sense that you are in the now but then as you experience it staying in the now again and again you realize you are the now and then that now keep continuing keep continuing it just keeps going on and on and on as if there is no beginning no end.
Yes and there is no I there is no I who is aware of the now the I has collapsed the I has become the now perfect.
Yes so the I I mean when I say it keeps continuing it only you own one can only experience this when the I is absent when the I is there you can experience moments but when you are in this now you feel like it's just it keep going on and on and on there is no end to it even like in dream maybe you are there and all these things are just passing like there is no end to this it's like a theater going on and on and on very deep sleep maybe you are still you are still aware of nothing so I don't know how to explain this but you are aware of nothing correct super so that is the turiya who is aware it's the primordial awareness that knows that there's nothing happening nothing it's just blank absence of surroundings yes so now you have to strengthen this this when it strengthens even in waking state you can be in the primordial awareness throughout yeah good keep working.
So I have I mean for all the other members here in this group so if if this primordial thing is is like you think that it is high level as Maharaj says it is not it's very easy just be in the now stick with that just be in the now stick with that yes yes and now does not mean events in the now you ignore the people in the now you ignore the events in the now like Maharaj says reject everything else except the thought I am you have to reject everything else then only you can latch on to this experience that some of the seniors have already started having okay it's not a state actually deep sleep is the absence of the dreaming and the waking that's it complete absence of the dreaming and the waking is termed as the deep sleep state where the primordial awareness is aware that there is nothing there is absence of the dreaming there is absence of the waking objects there is nothing yes there is no other way it is going to happen if you are not in love ekta cannot make you fall in love right you have to fall in love I understand this is where bhakti begins you cannot start singing songs before this stage it doesn't make sense it just sounds like oh you're just repeating some names of gods that you have memorized it doesn't make sense before this this is where true love happens you fall in love with that consciousness then that od it's a perfect Marathi word that od that longing brings tears you recognize the futility of this samsara this nonsense that I was so involved in what was I wasting my time on yes so you also start falling in love at least at least start wooing the handsome hunk or the beautiful girl yeah this way not this way this is the wrong direction this is the right direction she's here he's here yeah this direction fall in love then only is it possible to move ahead otherwise it's not possible and if your goal is not enlightenment forget about it you're in the wrong class you shouldn't even be joining jnana sangha at all there's only one purpose one goal one direction that we are all walking in yeah so if that is not your goal then it is not going to happen you cannot say okay just saturday sunday one two hours I'll be thinking about this and it'll happen it won't happen forget about it if you're very very sincere you really want to understand yourself know yourself and you want to be free of the sorrow of this body and mind then you work towards dispassionate awareness being completely dispassionate about the samsara and working towards the awareness see that you watch the video again I know for the beginners this was a very high funda session it must have gone all over your head but don't make it like a big thing oh my god it's not a big thing very simple yeah you just keep that sankalpa before lying down to sleep in the night I will attempt to be aware I want to recognize that it is only the body mind that sleeps and I do not sleep that it is only the body mind that sleeps and I do not sleep let's see at least can I get a glimpse into this little thing that only the body mind sleeps I don't sleep only this you don't have to think about our consciousness awareness primordial awareness very big words baby steps very small thing can I recognize that only the body mind sleeps but I am not sleeping just this small thing okay it is very simple you can all get there yeah and we have a very structured way of getting there step by step we will get there provided you have the longing and you have the interest clear if you don't have the longing you don't have the interest you give only weekends to this that's all you will get back in return
