Dropping the conditioning happens only if you really want it to happen.

A part of your mind does not want to wake up.

Recognize that.

That is what is not letting you drop the conditioning.

Only when your love for the witness grows,

It comes to this level.

The highest level will you be able to drop the conditioning.

Aage dav jade re.

A head of fire blazes.

Piche hari aali ho.

The greenery is behind.

Only you can do it for yourself.

Nobody else can do it for you.

Nobody else.

You have to recognize your conditioning.

That is step number one.

Number two,

Have the courage to burn down that house of conditioning.

Let go.

Number three,

Fall in love with the witness,

The awareness.

Simple,

You're home.

There is no other shortcut.

There is no other way to explain this.

There is no other way for you to get this.

You have to drop your attachments.

Your attachment to your family members,

To your job,

To your money,

To your whatever,

Whatever,

Whatever.

Walk alone.

Ekla chalo re.

There is no other way.

Walk alone.

Walk alone.

I say all paths lead home.

No path is better than the other.

Just like some people like vanilla ice cream,

Some like strawberry,

Some like raspberry.

My job as a teacher is to present to you all the flavors of the ice cream.

You pick and choose what you want.

A teacher has no right to tell you,

You will only eat chocolate.

No,

That's not the way it works.

Then that is not a teacher.

Please run away from him or her who tells you,

No you do only my path.

Don't go to Buddha's path.

Buddha is off track.

No,

No,

No.

Then you know who is off track.

Excuse yourself gently from there.

No.

All paths lead home.

We are all made equal.

All of us.

We are the ones who separated ourselves in different buckets.

White,

Black,

Brown,

Different buckets.

Hindu,

Muslim,

Christian,

Jew,

Parsi.

We put ourselves into different buckets.

God did not discriminate,

Did not create us like that.

So excuse yourself from the ones that discriminate you because that also builds your conditioning.

Be smart and protect your mind.

Like we were talking about protecting the child,

The password for your mind is oneness.

It's a spiritual password.

Oneness.

Whatever teaching is being imparted to me,

Is that teaching trying to box me into one category and box others into another category?

Is it creating a divide or is it really bringing harmony in all?

That is your password.

If you don't get the password,

Please do not walk out that door with the stranger.

Take care.

Spiritual security with spiritual passwords.

Both the steps together are required to speed up progress.

Both steps.

What are the two steps?

Number one,

I rest in the witness.

Abide in the witness again and again.

And number two,

Intellectually,

Logically,

Analytically,

I figure out this is the conditioning that pulls me out of my witnessing again and again.

Again and again.

Again and again.

Now I recognize,

Okay,

This is my conditioning.

Oh,

This conditioning belongs to the mind.

I see it very clearly.

Where has it come from?

My attachment to so and so.

You only can figure that out.

Can I drop this attachment?

How to drop the attachment?

Then you need a little more Buddha's knowledge.

It is temporary.

It comes and it goes.

It rises and it falls.

It's not always there.

My ego says,

No,

I want to hold on to it.

I want permanent,

I want permanent.

These two are contradictory.

Because of this contradiction,

There is always dukkha in the mind.

Pointless.

This conditioning is pointless.

Can I just let go of it?

That is why Kabir Sutra will help you of Paksha path.

Not this side,

Not that side.

No Paksha.

Not to take sides.

Again and again.

Right,

Wrong,

Good,

Bad,

Labels.

This is the way,

That is the way.

This is conditioning.

Again and again,

Can I go back to my one year old state of mind?

There the mind was almost merging with the witness again and again.

Again and again.

So this effort you will have to make.

Purety,

Inner purity is the shortest cut home.

You cannot say I am going to be a vile,

Selfish,

Greedy human being and I am going to be established in the witness.

How is this going to happen?

The witness is so pure.

It is so free of all these conditionings.

Your vileness,

Your selfishness,

Your greed is going to pull you out of there again and again.

You are seeing what I am saying and I am sure most of you are experiencing this since you started practicing Advaita Vedanta.

Yeah,

It pulls you out.

Sit down.

Okay,

I am not getting established here.

Let me look at this.

What is my attachment and can I just let go of this?

Is this so important?

Then the tug of war will stop.

Thoughts,

The perceptions,

The feelings,

All these that are creating the conditioning slowly,

Slowly lose their importance.

They just become waves in that ocean.

I ended it with that,

No?

I am a Gunga.

Beyond a point,

You will have to taste it sweetheart.

You have to taste it.

I am like that Gunga who tastes the jaggery and only smiles at you.

I can only make signs.

It cannot be described beyond a point.

It is a sweetness that you start experiencing just being in the witness.

In the void,

You start experiencing the sweetness.

Then that is all that matters.

Just the sweetness.

Then you can't let it go.

Yeah?

Sometimes on Diwali,

It happens,

You eat one full one kg of rasgullas and beyond that you don't want the sweet.

Exact opposite happens here.

You eat 10 kgs of rasgullas,

You want 100.

You cannot stop tasting that nectar,

That ramras,

That is mithoganore.

It's too sweet.

Beyond a point,

Sweetness is indescribable.

It will lose its charm if it is put in words.

Intellectual people can come up with fantastic words from the GRE syllabus and talk to you about love.

But how much ever you describe,

You write books on love,

Essays on love.

Unless you really fall in love,

You cannot experience it.

So what's the point?

What's the point?

Now come then,

Make an effort to apply it and come there.

No point in any more descriptions.

The descriptions are only to tell you that yes,

There is a possibility for me to get there.

Somebody has reached there.

I got a glimpse.

Fantastic.

Let me start walking towards it.

Your own conviction will take you there.

But beyond that,

All I can say.
