Do You Practice To Wake Up From Sleep, What Is Awakening
by Girish Jha,
Consistent spiritual practice reveals the knowledge of masters within us. This knowing happens regardless of outer circumstances. We must persist beyond intellectual understanding to fully realize the truth.
Transcript
So my friends,
Namaste to everyone.
On Saturday's session we are learning how to bring an end to the suffering.
That is the ultimate goal.
And at the same time how to live in that peace and happiness all the time.
24 by 7.
In fact,
That is an inner earth.
I will not say it's a biological earth,
But that is the earth,
The trigger that manifests in the mind.
Anytime,
Anywhere,
In any situation.
If you ask the mind,
What do you want?
Do you want peace and happiness in the morning,
Afternoon,
In relations with people?
And the mind says,
Yes,
In all the time,
In all the location.
Because we cannot perform action 24 by 7.
So the master says,
What the master says?
Action or effort cannot lead you to the ultimate and the highest state of meditation.
So there you see the logical conclusion.
Another conclusion,
It says that you have to remove the ignorance.
Now why to remove the ignorance?
Ask yourself.
So removing the ignorance has many reasons and one of the major reasons,
We ask the counter question to the mind.
Why you are seeking peace and happiness all the time?
From where you got the idea?
Did you learn it from society?
Did you learn it from your parents?
Did you learn from your honey?
Honey is already in stress,
You know,
What you can learn from your honey.
So from where this earth has come?
Can I say this is an eternal earth?
Eternal means,
You know,
The timeless earth.
Whether the person is a patient in the hospital or driving anywhere,
You know,
From where the mind gets this idea that I want to live in peace and happiness all the time 24 by 7.
So that is why we say it is an eternal,
Timeless earth.
We don't pay attention to it.
We forget it and there is a sense of forgetfulness is nothing but the ignorance.
Then what we see in that state of the forgetfulness,
That is ignorance.
Honey,
You don't love me.
Why don't you love your children,
You don't love me.
The same conditions,
If I have this much of money,
Then I will be in peace and happiness.
If I marry Miss Universe,
Then I will be peace and happiness.
If I buy this shirt,
Then I will be peace.
So that mind lives in ignorance.
So this master says no need to practice but understand.
What is understanding?
It is knowledge,
It is experience,
It is awareness.
So that is why he straightaway says it is an effortless natural state where the awakening takes place and you have to remove ignorance,
Wrong notions,
False notions.
Yesterday we will see that how that wrong notions are removed by how those wrong notions are removed by understanding,
By the knowledge.
So the first metaphor we already know.
It is a canvas that represents the pure consciousness,
Then is a causal state and then the subtle body which is the reflected consciousness that is known as the mind and it is the mind that creates the entire world outside.
But pure consciousness is not at all affected,
Dictated by the world,
Situation,
People,
Relations,
Etc.
That is we have understood.
And there we got an idea that there are two eyes.
One eye is the false eye created by the mind and the other eye is the pure consciousness,
Is the real self.
It is always present.
But the false eye goes into abeyance,
If I say.
It is kept in abeyance by the existence in deep sleep.
So it means that false eye cannot be there because even in deep sleep I exist,
I am.
But then master gives another metaphor that you have understood clearly that there is a pot space.
The space inside the pot and the space outside the pot are essentially the same.
For the sake of understanding we say it is micro space is the pot space,
Macro space is the infinite space.
Then you put the water into the pot,
So it is a water space.
Now we have to ask the question,
Is it really a pot space,
A water space or a pot space?
Fact is that it is a pot space.
So what is this water space?
Master says it is what you say as an individual.
You are an individual.
We will discuss about who is there and that individual really exists or it exists for transactional reality.
Now what is transactional reality?
I am giving you a lesson,
You are listening.
So you have you as an individual,
I as an individual and then many individuals forms the group.
Many people forms the township,
You know,
Township and then the county,
Then the state and then the nation.
What is all this?
Is it for only a transactional reality or there is a truth in it?
So same way the water space in the pot space,
The pot space is real.
The same way the entire world is reflected on the infinite consciousness.
So the entire universe of people,
Things,
Events,
Situations is nothing but the water space at the macro level.
So ultimately Master explains and helps us to reach to one consciousness.
There is no difference,
There is no duality,
Ignorance is gone and ignorance is gone we recognize cognitive ability.
It's a cognitive ability inside my head.
What is that cognitive ability?
That I am pure consciousness of the nature of peace,
Happiness,
Love,
Truth and wisdom.
When?
All the time.
Where?
All locations.
In what relations?
In all the relations.
No,
No but my honey is forget about that then you are not a seeker.
So outer situation,
Outer people has no impact on the consciousness that I have already told you.
I have to live into that state,
I simply recognize that state but I am affected,
It is reflected consciousness,
It is an individual.
What I am going to speak about,
If you do it cognitively inside your head all the time even for a week,
Next Saturday we will meet and I will ask you what happens,
What I am going to say.
First I will raise a question how significant or insignificant we are in the scheme of this entire universe?
We have to analyze,
We have to examine,
We have to have a cognitive ability that that cognitive ability recognizes it lives in the wisdom that am I really a significant individual in this entire scheme of the universe?
So how to examine that?
Let us examine,
Let us consider as an individual in time.
Time is created by the mind,
Reflected consciousness.
But let us examine in time.
We are born and will die maybe in hundred,
Two hundred years.
Let us make it little longer time span,
200 years,
Say 200 years.
That is lovely.
We want to live,
That is very clear in spite of any factor outside.
So make it 200 years.
So how is 200 years as compared to the last century?
And how that 200 years compared to the number of years passed since the birth of a Jesus Christ?
How that 200 years is compared to the millions of years of the earthly existence?
Science says the earth was created maybe millions or billions of years.
What is that a ratio?
Ratio 200 years instead billions of years.
Am I significant?
Ask yourself.
Am I really significant?
My mind,
Because of the delusion,
Has created 200 years as if it bypasses the billions of years of existence of the earth.
And it creates its own world.
I got married and then I divorced and I had two sons and then I had three children and then they are married and then they are divorced and then I just failed couple of times and then I succeeded.
Everything is happening in 200 years as compared to billions of years of earthly existence.
It means nothing.
I'm totally insignificant.
But I make myself significant of the achievements in those 200 years.
When I leave the earth,
What is my achievement?
We examine.
Achievement in a transactional reality means something.
But we are searching here the truth.
We are searching here the false eye and the real eye.
I believe you are getting that point.
We are negating but we are not criticizing.
That if I keep on identifying myself with that so-called 100 or 200 years in which we had,
We became sick many a times,
We fought many times,
We got the sensual pleasure,
We had the frustration and that happened.
Am I really significant in time?
Tell me.
Sam will say,
Don't tell me I have to live another 100 years.
You have already lived.
If you have lived frustrated life,
Then what I have to do?
Am I really significant in time?
Elon Musk,
200 billion dollars,
Bill Gates,
126 or 27 billion dollars plus 27 years of loveless life of one.
And Twitter made him crazy.
Elon Musk.
Now,
Let us find out ours,
Whether we are really significant in space.
Many of you have seen this room.
So if I am a six feet horizontal box and if you put one after,
Maybe 500 boxes will fit in my small room.
How many boxes of my space,
My length and height will fit in my house,
In my township,
Gilbert,
Then in the county,
Then in the state,
Then in the nation,
That is United States,
Then on the earth.
Are you seeing it?
Cognitive ability.
I'm not even a dust particle as compared to the United States.
No,
No.
I look at it,
You know,
Now see the false icons.
I'm very significant.
How dare you insert me?
Insert and praise has no value at all.
You are not even,
You are not even more than a dust particle.
And if you compare with the entire galaxy system,
You see that everyone has a smile on the face.
Can you live in the world understanding the significance in time and the space?
I am significant because I'm alive and conscious.
That is the only requirement.
Why?
You're always with the real life.
Why I should be with the real life?
I'm already in this state of mindfulness.
Here and now.
I need not to do anything.
It's all a cognitive ability.
I dropped the false notion in time and space.
Are you getting it?
Say yes,
Even if you're not.
How much time it takes to have that cognition in time and space,
Where when I'm significant in time and the space,
I have a big ego.
When I want to be significant in time and space falsely,
Then I will read everything about Elon Musk and Bill Gates.
Then I'm more interested in the news.
You look at it,
The ignorance and the impurities.
Now I collect those impurities in my mind.
Sam will say,
I have to earn a lot of money now.
You know,
Why you are making me insignificant?
First let me earn billion dollars,
Then I will prove that I'm insignificant.
So that is a greater ignorance.
It does not mean that you should not earn.
Keep on doing the work.
Keep on.
Continue the work.
You see that I just become aware.
I'm not even a dust particle as compared to the space in the entire cosmos and the galaxy.
And there's 200 years if I fix my lifespan,
You know.
No,
We say,
No,
Let us think in a bigger,
Have a bigger picture.
Bigger picture of 200 years.
And we all know the fact.
Fact is that we know the truth.
So when I have a cognition that I am totally insignificant in time and the space,
It crushes the false side.
It has to build its castle on the achievements in the time and space.
So the false side is gone.
What is left?
You cannot negate it.
What you cannot negate it?
Real self.
What is the real self?
It's the pure consciousness.
I am that consciousness of the nature of peace and happiness.
We are already there.
Before I completed the sentence,
You are already there.
Let us see our place in the situation,
In relations,
In activities.
Is my activity,
If I claim,
If my activity of giving you all a lesson on mindfulness as compared to trillions of action and events are taking place in the entire universe?
What is it?
What is the role?
What is the place?
Do I stand anywhere?
Do you stand anywhere?
No,
I stand anywhere.
You know,
I promised my honey that I will not be angry.
It's a different matter after the session I will become.
Honey means any relationship that I live.
So I still keep that impression in my head that I am attending your session because I have to prove that I do not become angry to my relationship.
You created that event.
It is such a small insignificant event as compared to the billions and trillions of events.
Somewhere the tsunami is coming,
Somewhere you see the Atlantic Ocean,
The Pacific Ocean,
The war is going on.
What is my role?
What is my place?
The false eye says I am very significant.
You don't see?
I make a big face.
Why I make a big face?
I'm attending a meditation session and those people will never succeed.
Keep smiling Sam.
Do you see that?
So if you and what I said that you contemplate and simply reflect what is my place in time,
In space,
In events this week at every moment and then check if you feel you are significant,
It is your false eye.
Which is that is preventing you to meditate.
That is preventing you to recognize and realize the real life.
What practice you need to do?
You don't need any practice.
I know I'm contradicting against Monday's and Thursday's session but both are different approaches.
See my friend,
My friends Hitler has come and gone,
Jesus has come and gone,
Krishna the originator of yoga has come and gone.
What it means?
What I'm going to say?
I have come,
I will also go.
Whether it's a hundred years or two hundred years.
For existence it means nothing.
Cognitive,
Cognition.
I'm just asking you to just become aware.
When I think,
Speak and act as a false self,
It means a lot as comparing myself to the Bill Gates and Elon Musk.
Did you understand?
It means a lot that Joe Biden is a president,
I stand nowhere.
It stands a lot.
My neighbor has a bigger house,
I have a smaller house.
You see?
See what happens the false eye?
False eye is now creating a series of delusion.
Ask yourself,
Is it really a delusion or is it a fact?
No,
It's a fact,
You know.
Bill Gates is the richest guy,
Isn't it?
Then he sleeps in ten bedroom at the same time.
He drives ten cars at the same time.
We don't see that.
Existence does not allow Bill Gates to drive ten cars at the same time,
To sleep in ten bedroom at the same time.
Oh,
Are we exactly the same?
Yes,
With a different name in the form.
Yes,
When we live into that state of awareness,
We are already united,
That false eye doesn't stand anywhere.
We are already connected.
We recognize we are the one consciousness.
We go too far from this body,
Mind,
Intellect,
Ego that creates an individual.
When?
Here and now.
Where?
Everywhere.
In what relationship?
In all the relationship.
Can you imagine,
Can you dream that when you are living in the world of relations with your honey,
With that state of the consciousness,
You don't live with the,
You know,
How many grams of heart,
You know,
200 grams of heart.
No,
You live with the infinite.
You cannot wait.
You live with that heart,
With that level of awareness.
Then even your honey says you are crazy,
Doesn't make any change,
Doesn't make any difference.
Thank you,
Thank you,
Honey,
I feel I'm more crazy than you think.
My friends,
This is the journey of the Eastern Wisdom.
This is what this Master is saying.
So he wants,
I just gave you an idea and understanding through many ways so that we can understand what the Master is explaining through the metaphor.
But then Master has his own way of explaining that ultimately four spaces,
You know,
Fourfold spaces,
Fourfold consciousness.
He brings four stages,
Fourfold consciousness into one.
Part space and real space.
But the space inside and outside cannot be divided.
Last point is also very important.
It's just coming to my mind.
When you say you are going to a restroom,
Fact is that you are remembering the space.
Restroom is just the name.
You're going to the kitchen,
That is a space.
You're going to the bedroom,
That is a space.
No,
No,
How can you say after all?
They are different.
Okay,
Remove the space and show me the restroom,
Kitchen and bedroom.
Show me.
I will follow you.
Show me.
Your house,
My house.
Okay,
Remove the space.
Show me your house.
Show me my house.
Are you thinking where I'm going to?
No,
I'm more intelligent than you.
So why you are saying that?
Because I'm identifying myself with the body,
Mind,
Intellect,
Ego.
Very good.
Let me remove this space.
Show me where you are.
At a distance,
Two bodies are there.
One body is dead and the other body is deep sleep.
Deep sleep.
We say REM sleep.
You say REM sleep.
No,
Non-REM sleep.
That is deep sleep.
At a distance,
Both appear the same.
Are you getting it?
Get a feel of it.
Get a cognition.
Oh,
I'm aware of that.
So even when this body drops,
It doesn't make any difference.
Whether it's a hundred years or two hundred years.
That is what our Master says.
Awakened.
Awakened does not mean that,
You know.
Awakened means that,
That I'm independent of this body,
Breath,
Mind,
Intellect,
Possessions,
Relations.
That consciousness,
That space is totally independent.
That is the ultimate of mindfulness.
That is the journey of the East and West.
We will be doing everything in the world.
Transactional reality.
I'm giving you a lesson.
So I will use the word I am.
But inside,
Cognition is what?
Every time I say I am,
It refers to the real self.
Let it manifest in a session.
Let it manifest in a relationship.
Let it manifest in eating.
Why I use the word manifest?
You're always free.
There is a sense of freedom.
And when that I am is identifying with the false I with an individual.
Here,
Master gives an example of a water space.
There is no water space.
You throw the water out.
The pot space continues.
Are you getting it?
That pot space is the real self.
Why I explain this?
Now see,
What is water space?
I am very rich.
Okay.
Well,
Thank you.
I am very poor and frustrated.
Both amounts to the same thing.
Why you feel the poorness and the richness?
I am more intelligent than you.
Again,
You have filled something.
Water space can be thrown out.
Do you see?
Live into that awareness.
That is the teaching of our Masters.
So this Master will take us to the journey,
How that four consciousnesses,
So to say,
Wrong sentence,
Wrong word,
Consciousnesses.
The fact is,
It is one.
So the false I says,
No,
I have this number of people attending the session plus one.
Oh,
There are so many individuals.
There is only one.
My Master used to say,
Do you see that I am sitting here?
But no,
There were two hundred people sitting there and he was giving a talk.
He said,
I am sitting in front of,
You know,
I'm sitting in all of them.
What he's representing,
Pot space and the space outside is one.
And when he used to say he has such a glow,
His eyes was glittering.
I have not seen once,
But I have seen for 26 years.
I said what he says,
He meant it.
He used to give a talk for about three to four hours.
Such a heavy body.
I used to cry that how dare leave the talk,
You know,
Take rest.
I'm not the body,
Was his simple answer.
You know,
That inspired me that what kind of a guy this is.
So when we understand,
Understanding is cognitive ability.
This week you,
Your mind should ask the question,
How significant or insignificant I am in space,
In time and in events and situations in a state of cause and effect.
That is what the action is.
What is cause and effect?
I'm talking to honey,
I'm fighting with honey or I'm earning money or I did not earn money.
All these are different events in our life.
They are small events.
And we get frustrated with those small events.
Do you see that?
Such a small event.
Whatever I give 200% to my dad,
Girl,
You know,
And she is now not responding.
Such a small event in the scheme of the entire universe.
Take the world lightly.
Are you getting it?
Take the world lightly.
You know,
I choose to marry this boy or girl and he or she cheated me.
A small event in the life.
Take the world lightly.
No,
I'm talking to those who are still singles or who have an intention for anesthesia.
So what happens?
Ultimately,
What happens,
You know?
Every day you take this entire world lightly.
Lightly as compared to the time,
Space and the causation.
But you do all your activities seriously.
Seriously mean?
You put your 200%.
Why you put 200%?
Because only it is the crazy mind that cannot put 200% to any activity.
Consciousness always puts 200% everything.
So don't think that I force myself to remain present for a session five minutes before or 10 minutes before.
No.
It is so natural.
It is so natural to me.
For every activity,
You are 100% ready.
Consciousness manifests through the mind,
Gives 200%.
Consciousness blocked by the false eye.
Then you make an effort to give 100% and you cannot give 100% to your life.
That is why you are not in peace and happiness.
Close your eyes.
Eyes are closed.
Body is steady.
Yes,
The body is steady.
You are aware.
At the same time,
You are also aware of how much insignificant you are with reference to being steady.
You are insignificant.
That mind will leave you.
Will stop making you crazy,
I can tell you.
That is the beauty.
What are you saying?
Yes.
The false eye has to make an effort.
The consciousness does not need to make any effort.
Now,
Anyhow,
Again,
Go to the first step and let us see,
Recognize how I make the being comfortable and being carefree as a step with a reference to being significant and non-significant.
Oh,
Really?
How it is possible?
Yes,
It is 100% possible,
My friend.
We need not to do anything.
We are not doing anything at all.
Make it 100% clear.
Oh,
Is that so?
Yes.
So eyes are closed.
It is not an event.
Any action,
Any effort is an event.
Relate that event to your false eye.
You will start squeezing your eyes.
I can bet you.
And relate that event to the consciousness,
To the just awareness.
And you see what happens.
You have taken the world lightly.
You have taken that eyes closed lightly.
Oh,
Yes.
So what happens?
You are already comfortable.
You need not to worry.
You have taken the world lightly.
Being comfortable,
My friend.
I'm not giving you.
.
.
Being comfortable.
Recognize.
Becoming comfortable,
False eye will have to make an effort.
Where there is this false eye or an individual,
It cannot get out of the cause-and-effect relationship.
So it will constantly ask you what to do to be comfortable.
When the mind is asking you,
Just remain aware.
Watch it as one event out of the trillions of events taking place in the entire universe in that time,
In that space.
What happens?
You know,
The mind disappears.
I can tell you.
You're still listening from the mind and still the mind goes in abeyance.
Or if I use the word,
Mind is kept in abeyance.
Oh,
So I have to make an effort to keep the mind in abeyance?
No.
There is a revelation of the pure awareness in that state.
Oh,
You're using a different word.
Yes.
That's how I need to explain.
I know the real self cannot be expressed in a language.
So I have to use these specific words and phrases.
No,
No.
Let us start from the very beginning.
Yes,
Let us start.
So when I say being comfortable,
I say be aware of the neck joint.
You are reflecting what I said to you.
You are reflecting being aware of the neck joint in time,
In space,
In this event that we are having,
We are part of together.
It is totally insignificant.
You recognize it is insignificant.
The false eye drops and you become intensively aware of the neck joint.
It is a rise in consciousness that gives you an experience of sensation,
Comfort and steadiness.
And after that you smoothly,
Your mind moves into the space.
It merges into the space and you are with the infinite space,
With the infinite time.
What is infinite time?
Timeless.
Timelessness.
I'm already in mindfulness.
Yes,
You are already there.
Look at the shoulder joint.
You see the meaning in the essence,
The cognition.
When we started our journey a couple of years ago,
I used to say now pay attention to the shoulder joint,
Feel the sensation,
Comfort and steadiness.
Because we were not able to recognize,
We do not have that level of awareness.
Or we can say we were not taught shoulder joint awareness.
Now what I'm saying,
You are aware of the shoulder joint,
That is an event.
Every event needs a space in the time.
So now we are reflecting this event of looking at the shoulder joint in a timelessness space,
Not with reference to my shoulder joint.
The false eye will return.
And when it will return,
Then what will happen?
It will start moving.
It says,
You see,
You are so much comfortable.
This guy is crazy,
He does not understand.
And then what happens?
The mind smoothly moves.
Mind says,
No,
Let me find the end of the space and the time.
There is no end.
There is no end to the event.
Cause and effect relationship which is happening in the world all the time,
24 by 7.
And I make my event as a spatial,
More important,
As if the existence depends on me.
So I make myself significant.
You make yourself significant,
You will never be in peace and happiness.
Okay,
Look at the entire body.
You look at the entire body with the false side and you are an individual.
You are looking at the entire body,
Means you are aware of the entire body.
Or I would say simply awareness of the entire body as an event in time,
In space.
Or space means in location.
The mind smoothly merges.
Because mind cannot measure timelessness.
False eye cannot measure timelessness.
False eye is an individual.
Individual means limitedness.
Who created this limitedness?
I.
How come?
Ignorance.
No,
No,
No.
Location is my room.
I am sitting in my room and I follow your instructions.
I agree.
But understand little deeper.
Are you in your space or you are in a room?
No,
I am in a space.
Does the space has any limitation?
No.
Why you say that you are sitting in a room?
So that false eye with the wrong notion returns again because of the heavy conditioning by the society,
By the culture,
By the religion,
By the cult,
By the dogma.
That is holding me back.
No,
No.
No,
I still have a doubt about the time.
Okay.
Can you pick up the time when I said you awareness of the body?
And now mind cannot pick up the time.
It's a transactional reality.
We are attending a session from 8 to 9.
Transactional reality.
Okay.
But can you pick up the time?
The moment you pick up the time when I speak that is already gone.
That has become past.
You cannot pick up the past.
And now it has already become past.
It doesn't wait for you.
You cannot hold the time.
So when we reflect how significant and insignificant in relationship to the time,
Space and cause and effect,
Event.
I think I'm making myself clear to you.
Any event,
Any action,
Any presence as an individual is a cause and effect relationship.
You do nothing.
You woke up.
That is also an event.
We don't realize this.
Why?
We have important things to do in our life.
What are those important things that causes a lot of stress,
Suffering.
So do we want stress?
Because yes.
Next time we have to manage stress.
So we need stress.
If there is no stress,
We don't create an event to manage the stress and suffering.
Then the life becomes totally mechanical and habitual.
Then why I am living?
I have to make an effort to make money for what?
For seeking all kinds of pleasures.
As if all the pleasures are with me at this moment.
All the pleasures since the birth I have experienced are still with me.
Do you see how significant?
I make myself significant.
If I create a memory,
Retrieve that memory in the present which means nothing.
When you recognize it means nothing.
You are in timelessness,
Spacelessness,
Beyond the cause and effect relationship of events.
What is that state?
Buddha says that state is nothingness.
We are still doing the first step.
First step means we are not doing anything.
Being comfortable.
No,
No,
What to do?
You know,
You see the doubts pops up in the mind.
Who pops up the doubt in the mind?
False I,
Individual.
After all there is someone inside who feels limited,
Raises the doubt.
You prove this then I will believe you that I'm in peace and happiness.
Reflected consciousness raises the doubt.
So the false I says,
You know,
What about the crazy thoughts that are coming?
Reflect what I'm going to say.
Is the unwanted thought bigger than me?
And what is the place of that unwanted thought in the time,
Place and event?
Nothing.
You are sitting and you wake up.
The thought is gone.
One thought says you are in stress.
Second thought says grab a cup of tea.
It is gone.
No,
It does not go.
I don't allow it to go.
What is this I?
False I.
Did you get an answer?
When we have that cognition that is known as awakening.
Do you practice to wake up?
I know you know,
You know the answer.
You are very clear.
Do you practice to wake up?
No,
But I have to practice to to go to awakening and so-called the realization.
Okay,
I can see what you mean.
So you are caught in that wrong notion.
And the teachers,
My fellow teachers say that,
Yes,
I will make it possible.
And they condition you more and more.
You are more frustrated.
You keep searching all the teachers one after the other.
And 200 years is gone.
Oh,
Do you say that you are the teacher?
No,
I'm not saying that.
I'm only answering how significant or insignificant we are in relationship to the time,
In relationship to the space and in relationship to the action which has in a cause and effect relationship.
I may say,
I die tomorrow.
Will that be a significant event?
Millions of people die every second and other millions take birth.
For existence,
For existence,
It is a play and fun.
What is real self is existence.
So if I recognize that I am the existence,
It does not make any difference.
You are simply a witness to the event that is happening in time in this space.

How are you,
Steven?
I'm good.
Thank you very much.
It was,
It was,
It was a great lesson,
Great meditation.
Great meditation.
It was like instantaneous processing of a concept that as soon as we identify as an individual,
And in this case with a master or a career less,
You know,
Pointing out that,
You know,
As an individual,
What right do we have to identify as an individual because we're so insignificant?
And that that whole process to me is that any thought that came in outside of this topic and conversation,
I instantly negated and said that you're not worthy of this because all ignorance is driven by the duality.
It's driven by the desires.
It's driven by all that,
That stuff that I identify as an individual.
And it led to that met in my meditation,
Just when it's a vast,
Dark space of nothingness,
Because it was as a thought just started to come in.
It was like,
No,
You're not coming in.
And it just left me in blankness.
So it was great.
Thank you.
Beautiful the way you said that everything which is happening in time,
Space,
What is happening in time,
Space,
It is an event.
So something inside recognizes the insignificance of the time,
Location and the event means what?
There is no false I left.
When it is not left,
I merge with an existence.
When?
Here and now.
Beautiful narration,
Beautiful explanation.
How are you,
David and Jerry?
Unmute.
Sorry,
David's gone.
He had to go to a meeting.
So meditation was really great.
Thank you.
I might went to this this lesson where we find ourselves all of us together yet in different places physically,
But together as one.
And then as we share,
Because even though this is an event,
And it is insignificant,
If we take it literally,
Then we'd all come on and we'd be silent and we wouldn't share and participate.
But we bring our humility and our great gratitude to our Guruji.
And so we bring this humility to our daily life.
And that's kind of what we're evolving and rising because we are consciousness and we forget when we get attached in the events.
But yet we still have to participate and celebrate and connect and bring that to our events.
Definitely,
That is a very important point you are bringing in.
Just this moment I recognize here is a timeless,
Spaceless,
Eventless event,
If I say so.
But it has to be supported by living from a moment to moment.
So when I live in a moment to moment in a transactional reality,
That false eye lives on just at one corner.
It follows the existence.
It follows the consciousness.
It is not getting carried away by the limitedness.
And that is where connect,
Contribute and celebrating the life at every moment comes.
Beautiful explanation.
Thank you.
Jerry,
How are you?
Terry?
I had the thought that we're all here trying to learn.
And we end up.
So if we are like grains of sand,
You know,
Just very tiny.
But they make a beach.
Yeah.
So that's why it makes a difference what you do.
In a way,
At least to you,
At least to us.
Yes,
Terry,
You did not move at all,
Even if you have such a serious problem.
If that problem is a grain of sand on the beach,
Then what is going to happen?
Your mind is already free from all its impact,
All its cause and effect.
And you are awakened.
Second point is very important to understand.
That I am a grain of just one particle of the sand that makes the beach.
No.
No.
Behind all those dust particles and sand particles,
If the space is not there,
Dust particles and sand does not make any.
We are all the sand,
Small fries in the entire scheme.
Of this universe.
So I have to be aware of where this is happening.
Are you getting it?
Where this event is happening?
It is happening in the existence.
It is happening in the consciousness.
What?
What importance it is for this small fry talking to you?
Nothing.
That,
That awareness is known as awakening.
Contemplate,
Reflect.
You are moving in the right direction.
So where is Sam?
Hello,
Sir.
Namaste,
Sir.
Namaste,
Sir.
Uh,
No,
It's,
Uh,
You know,
We get carried away with thinking that the things that are going on in our lives are more important than they actually are.
So it's good to be to be humble about them.
You are right,
Sam.
Now,
That is the right statement,
Which is opposite to,
Uh,
The understanding of the modern psychology.
What is that?
You just said that we get carried away.
Modern psychology says,
You know,
Younger have more energy.
Now,
Bring them,
Both the statements together.
If you have more energy,
Then live with that energy.
Do not waste it.
Do not get carried away.
Do not waste it.
Then what happens?
Then you are already with that tremendous energy,
You are already in peace and happiness.
Now,
Let us enjoy all the pleasures,
Get carried away.
So,
How are you,
Anastasia?
Thank you.
Um,
Well,
This meditation was very deep.
Thank you for the meditation and the lesson.
I felt very warm inside and the cold on my nose and fingertips.
Uh,
And I've noted that these auspicious moments may humble our personality greatly and connect us to this great space.
And,
Uh,
It looks for me like a game,
Maybe because I used to play a lot as a child.
But then if I think about,
Uh,
Uh,
The life like game,
Because actually we all know these major rules,
Like we don't cross the road when the traffic is moving.
But if I think about what is important to get married or to be alone,
Have a party or go to the shop,
It's like it doesn't matter actually.
Doesn't matter.
But then I get scared and thinking about this like a game and get carried away on this.
We get scared because of the false eye.
The false eye says everyone got married.
We don't see everyone got divorced.
We don't see that.
We see one part of that life.
So getting married and living that life is just like crossing a road.
And also I have understood that a lot of things I took for granted in my life because the world is so different.
And even being born in a free country,
Having meal,
Education,
Opportunity,
It's.
.
.
We take it for granted,
I think,
And then demand it.
Yeah,
Yeah,
Yeah.
You see,
That is politics.
You know,
When we say we are born in a free country,
Everyone is born free,
You know.
When the mother delivers the baby,
It is happening in freedom.
So a total perspective of the life should change while living in the same world,
While living in the same situation.
That is the meaning of awakening.
That is why I think I made a statement.
Do you make any effort to wake up from the deep sleep?
Who makes an effort?
Tell me.
You are in deep sleep.
You are unconscious.
How can you make an effort?
So in deep sleep,
Means in unconsciousness,
We make an effort.
I am single.
Let me get married.
I will be happy.
I am unhappy.
I'm just doing all the activities in deep sleep,
Which I claim it is the most important event of my life.
I become significant and that causes the problem.
How are you,
Vaibhav?
Thank you,
Sir.
Sir,
I'm good.
I'm getting this understanding that a cell to this body is very insignificant.
One cell to this body.
So as my ego is very insignificant to this consciousness.
And with this ego,
I have collected all the past impressions and also the future expectations.
Yeah.
So which is very insignificant to the whole consciousness.
That too.
Yeah.
And that's make us like make my mind free that why I'm keeping that memory or anything future expectations.
I can keep myself free from that.
Beautiful.
That's a wonderful reflection.
You see that you see that and you all showed the kind of humility being expressed.
That makes the journey very fast and that awakening is understood in a is understood in a clear perspective.
And you are right in a sense that it is the false eye,
Which keeps the memory of all the events,
Whether it is,
You know,
Mind says five events are significant in my life.
Another 10 events are totally insignificant.
Then the mind says,
I want to forget.
You don't forget because you are still remembering.
You are remembering that even.
So every time you force your mind,
Let me forget.
To forget,
You have to remember.
So you are living a crazy life.
Baba is married.
Sam and Anastasia,
Are you understanding?
So when we live with that understanding,
Not only internal,
The humility is so humility is so deep.
Because I'm not significant.
And that makes the life beautiful.
Thank you,
Everyone.
We will join again next week.
Thank you.
Thank you,
Sir.
Namaste.
