How To Find That Consciousness That Is I Am

All life involves change, yet peace and happiness cannot be found in change alone. To discover lasting fulfillment, we must look beyond change to find the unchanging reality of our true selves. All life contains certain elements in common like the need for food, rest, reproduction, and safety. But the specifics like the shape, size, and capabilities differ. Change involves growth, development, evolution, and transformation. It is horizontal in plants, vertical in animals, and conscious in humans. The mind moves by default through likes, dislikes, pleasure, and pain. These are conditioned tendencies not under our full control. There is also a true unchanging Self that is our real nature. Realizing this ends suffering caused by falsely identifying with the impermanent.

So,

You see that identity crisis,

I talked about it,

But let us see and reflect on it.

So,

Life is a change and we,

Master says that we do not understand that the permanent peace and happiness cannot be found in a change.

I want a permanent peace and happiness,

But life is constantly changing,

So I do not find,

I cannot find that peace and happiness.

So,

That is the reason we use the word that we have to transcend,

We have to go beyond the change.

And who perceives the change?

The mind.

So,

We have to understand the mind,

The function of the mind and then we see how we can transcend the mind.

Why to transcend the mind?

To see,

To be settled in that state of the consciousness which does not change.

That will drop my identity crisis and that will lead me to peace and happiness.

That is,

We can say that is what the principle of Eastern Wisdom is,

But how to do that?

So,

Master says start understanding that all life contains elements in common,

Like need for food at a regular interval,

Need for rest,

Need for reproduction and also for security.

They may differ in the shape,

Size,

Gender,

Color,

But basic needs that lives in the change continues.

No doubt,

Change also helps in our growth,

In our development,

In our evolution and transformation.

Now,

See the beauty how our Masters understands.

So,

When we see there is a horizontal growth in plants,

Because they do not change in consciousness.

Vertical growth,

Perhaps little bit of vertical growth in animals,

Because,

You know,

You see that puppies,

Their eyes are closed and gradually their eyes get open and then they grow and then they raise their animal awareness,

They become more conscious.

In that category,

We as a human being have a tremendous ability to receive the knowledge and to raise our awareness.

But we also follow the suit of animals,

You know,

We follow the suit of let me run after the need for the food.

Yeah,

It's important.

We should do it.

Need for food,

Rest,

Reproduction and the safety,

But we get caught into that.

And when we are caught,

There comes the problem.

How we are caught?

That the outer resources will bring peace and happiness for me.

But we forget to acknowledge that whatever is changing cannot give me permanent peace and happiness.

Whether it's money,

Whether I can decorate the body in any way possible,

But still peace and happiness is not there.

So when we do not recognize this,

The mind creates an unending desires.

And those desires are driven by the likes and dislikes.

And those desires keep me fully busy,

Keep me stressed.

We fall into the delusion.

That is what we say the ignorance.

You see that this delusion and ignorance,

Delusion or ignorance is the same thing.

At a different level,

We understand that.

I was thinking in the morning that this delusion is like a crocodile.

I was watching this Discovery Channel.

So it says that crocodile catches the prey and then it starts rolling in the water.

So when it rolls in the water,

It divides that prey into many pieces.

Because that prey like deer cannot sustain that very fast movement.

That is the reason the delusion in the mind moves us in such a way that I was teaching one guy,

Young guy.

So he got relaxed and I said,

Don't pay attention to the world.

First take care of yourself.

So after the few sessions,

He developed another side of the ego.

And then he started telling me,

Look at my dad,

He is crazy,

He does not understand.

I said,

That is not why you are learning this Eastern wisdom.

You are learning to evolve yourself.

Let your dad do whatever they want to do.

So we are caught in unnecessary identity crisis.

If we have a higher level of awareness,

We start blaming others.

Master says your higher level of awareness should help you to grow,

Should help you to evolve.

Because of the impurity of the mind,

The mind goes into the world again.

It picks up the unnecessary,

Unwanted things and then it gets caught.

Now see that one principle works here.

If we understand that changing nature of the world cannot help me find the permanent peace and happiness.

Any changes means there is no permanence.

But because of the desire,

I am searching permanent peace and happiness outside in the world,

Which is not possible.

But I am forcing my mind,

So I get caught into the delusion.

I keep on running.

So Master says that you have to discern,

Check that what is changing.

The world is in influx,

The body is changing,

The breath is changing,

The mind is changing,

The intellect is changing,

The ego is changing.

But all they are dependent on something that is not changing and that is our consciousness.

That is why we say that God is omnipresent,

God is all-pervading.

So we are referring it to that consciousness.

But how do I know that the consciousness does not change?

I remember when I was 20 years old what I did.

That consciousness was there,

The same,

And now it is there.

So if there are two consciousnesses,

I cannot remember what happened at the age of 20 years or 40 years or yesterday.

So that consciousness is present throughout my life since the birth until I die.

It is permanent.

It does not change.

I am conscious of all those events and because I am conscious of it,

Hence I am consciousness.

I am putting it very simply.

I am conscious of you.

So first thing is that I am consciousness.

Then only I am conscious of you.

So the Master says be conscious of anything and everything and see that there is a change.

Take your mind out of there.

Look at yourself and you will discover the beauty of that consciousness which does not change.

You will discover that consciousness is of the nature of peace and happiness.

It is always there.

Mind through its desire superimposed on the consciousness creates the stress,

Creates the duality and a conflict.

Superimposition does not mean that it mixed with the consciousness.

Consciousness still remains independent.

It is like a curtain.

You put the blackout curtain on the windows so you prevent the sun to enter into your room but nothing happens to the sun.

How do you define pure consciousness?

Very good.

How do you define pure consciousness?

So we have six characteristics of this consciousness.

First thing we say this consciousness is beyond time.

It was there when I was 20 years old,

When the body was 20 years old,

30 years old,

40 years old and it is now.

So through the inference we can make out that it will continue to be present after the death of the body.

So that is the first understanding that this consciousness is eternal.

It bypasses,

It is beyond the time.

Second,

It does not have any shape.

You have asked the right question.

So we talk about the six characteristics.

So because it does not have a shape,

It cannot be subjected by the time.

It is beyond the shape.

So that is why that is the second characteristics of the consciousness.

It is not,

It cannot be found in the name and the form.

Anything can be found in the name and the form will be subjected by the time.

And when it is subjected by the time then it will die.

So that is why,

So both are there.

So when we define the truth,

When we define the absolute truth,

We say that absolute truth ever existent.

So ever existent cannot exist if it has a name and the form.

So we say this consciousness does not have,

It is beyond the time and it is beyond the shape.

So that is the truth.

So first characteristic,

It is eternal.

Second is,

It is,

It is the truth.

Because it is the truth and it is eternal,

That is why it is all pervading.

So when it is all pervading,

It is pure consciousness.

When it is limited by the mind because of the desire,

Because of the anger and reaction,

It gets limitedness.

So we don't say that it is pure consciousness.

It is being reflected in the mind because of the desire causes the limitedness.

Why it is limitedness?

Because it becomes impure.

So that is the way how we understand pure consciousness and impure consciousness.

You wake up in the morning and your mind says,

Oh that guy is crazy,

You have,

Consciousness is reflecting in the mind and because of the thought it has become impure.

But when the mind does not interfere,

It remains pure.

And we have those occasions,

We experience that state many a times during the day.

But then the mind runs after me and mind causes some desire with some thought and with that thought it contains the likes and dislikes.

Consciousness is limited and it becomes impure.

Okay,

But human being,

In order to get,

How is consciousness accessible?

Because,

Okay,

People live their way,

Whatever way they want to live.

But consciousness is not always accessible,

It is only accessible to them.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Are you sure?

Are you sure?

I don't know,

I asked you first.

Because consciousness is also a physical element in the body.

Are you sure?

You are asking me the question because of the presence of the consciousness.

It is always accessible.

I forget about it,

I do not pay attention to it.

You have asked me the question because of the presence of the consciousness.

Yes.

Can you ever say,

I do not exist?

No,

Probably not.

If you say I do not exist,

There must be some consciousness to say that I do not exist.

So you are telling a lie.

Okay.

Do you understand that?

Yeah.

If you say that,

No,

No,

No,

I do not exist.

You do not exist?

Who says that you do not exist?

So wonder who says that exists.

Okay.

So it means the consciousness is always accessible.

I do not pay attention.

Because of the desires,

I am paying attention to the world outside.

My mind is mesmerized,

Hypnotized by the likes and dislikes,

By the soulmate and soulmate and marriage and the divorce and the money and the pleasure.

Even in the pleasure that is accessible.

Even in the pain it is accessible.

Even when you wake up in the morning it is accessible.

So what happens,

That is what we say ignorance is.

I am ignorant of it.

It is already there but I am ignorant of it.

You ask me the question because of the presence of the consciousness.

You remove the consciousness and then ask the question.

You cannot.

Now see another way,

See another way.

Someone dies,

We say body is there.

Because it is devoid of consciousness.

And someone is alive,

We refer to that body as a person.

We refer the dead as a dead body.

We don't become aware of it.

That pure consciousness is always available.

And I am ignorant of it.

You are asking me how it is accessible.

It is always accessible.

That is what the eastern wisdom says.

That is why eastern wisdom teaches that go on talking,

Talking to make your ignorant layers of the mind very thin,

Thin,

Thin and ultimately it is gone.

Curtain is removed and you see that,

You know.

There was also a story and metaphor that we have been,

I gave you that story couple of times.

Ten students of a master living in a monastery.

So in the journey when you become a monk,

You live on the begging the food.

So the master told all the ten disciples to go to the nearby village and beg the food and then return.

But he warned that you should,

All ten should be together.

You should not forget and miss all of these ten numbers.

So on the way there was a river,

They all crossed the river and then they started counting all of them.

One,

Two,

Three,

Four,

Five,

Six,

Seven,

Eight,

Nine.

Oh,

We lost one student,

One colleague.

So now everyone counted except himself so there was only nine.

That is forgetfulness,

That is ignorance.

So the consciousness is always available because I'm counting but I forget to count myself.

So another monk was passing by and they all were crying and they said only one student was drowned in the river,

You know,

And then what we will say to our master.

The monk was going on and he found out this is the problem.

So he brought one student,

He said go on counting.

One,

Two,

Three,

Four,

Five,

Six,

Seven,

Eight,

Nine and he pointed the finger to that student who was counting.

Here is the tenth.

That consciousness,

Because the mind is so much hypnotized that it only wants to find the pure consciousness in the world outside,

In the objective world,

Which is not possible.

It has to be found within you.

That is why in all meditation we say close your eyes and move the mind with it.

So that is where we can find the pure consciousness.

So consciousness is ever-present but because of sense of a heavy conditioning by the society,

By the culture,

By the parents,

The mind is bombarded with millions and trillions of the thoughts and desires which keeps the mind outside.

It does not have a time to think even to be aware of the consciousness present behind this body and the mind.

It is always accessible.

It is always available and still we don't see it.

That is the mystery and that mystery is solved by the Eastern wisdom through logic,

Through understanding,

Through the practice.

You are listening to me because you are consciousness.

Now you are asking me how to access that consciousness and at the same time you are saying I am listening to you.

The listening cannot be possible.

No doubt mind understands this but the mind cannot understand without the presence of the consciousness.

Mind is just a matter.

Mind is just like a camera.

Close your eyes.

I have one other question.

If the person reaches pure consciousness is this equivalent to nirvana?

You are right.

That's a beautiful question.

Now your question has two main elements.

You said first if a person reaches to that consciousness second part of the question is nirvana.

Now take the first part of the question.

If a person reaches to that consciousness that reaching is not taking place in time and the space.

You have to come to my house.

There must be some distance you need to cover and some time you need to spend.

It is already within me.

It is present here and now.

So reaching that consciousness does not make sense.

What makes sense is that I have to remove the ignorance.

What is that ignorance?

That I do not know that I am pure consciousness.

What I know is that I am the body-mind complex.

I know I am the father,

I am the brother,

I am the husband.

I don't know that I am a human being and with every relationship the human being is hidden.

That I don't recognize.

So to recognize is reaching.

To be aware is reaching.

That is the first part of the question.

The second is that nirvana?

Answer is yes.

Why it is nirvana?

Nirvana literally means that now you have burnt down your false notion.

You have burnt down your wrong notions and the ignorance.

So what happens?

You continue to be in the state of pure consciousness.

Now there is no identification with the body and mind complex.

Every day,

Every moment you are into that state.

That pure consciousness obviously settled into that pure consciousness is settled in the real self is the nirvana.

Intellectual understanding is there.

No doubt.

But intellectual understanding alone is not enough unless the knowledge is settled in the mind.

If the knowledge is not settled in the mind,

Why?

Knowledge in the intellect is there but my lifestyle,

My way of life is heavily conditioned by the mind.

So I have understood.

And after an hour I have an acute pain in the body and then I say I have a lot of pain.

I cannot discern and separate that I am not the body.

Body has a pain.

I don't remember.

I forget it.

It is because of the mind.

So that is why this journey takes a long time.

It is a slow and a steady race.

That is why we talk of the impurity,

We talk of the delusion,

We talk of the practices,

We talk of the changing your attitude and the behavior and the response.

Then only the knowledge can be settled.

It looks so easy.

Intellectually we have understood.

You see that pure consciousness,

Nirvana,

We have understood.

But the next moment the mind brings forth all the millions of desires.

A little pain in the body causes me a fear of the death.

Why it causes the fear of the death?

Because the knowledge is not settled in the mind.

That is why I feel still there is a fear of the death of the body.

Is my death.

Because I am still identifying myself with the body.

So there is a big gap between the mind and the intellect.

And that is why it takes a long time.

Are you getting it?

Mind is impulsive,

Mind is habitual,

Mind is heavily conditioned.

So in knowledge,

No doubt,

Knowledge we get it.

Knowledge every individual,

Every humanity can understand anything in the world.

Every humanity can understand any principle,

Any concept in the world.

That is why we can choose any profession which we like.

We can become an IT engineer,

We can become a medical doctor,

We can become a plumber,

We can become a mechanic.

It is the same human being.

So outer knowledge,

The knowledge that we get in the material knowledge or material world is easy to get it.

Because it has a system,

Variable system,

Manual is created.

The same way the systematic approach is also created in the Eastern Basin.

But we don't want to follow.

We don't want to follow.

To become an IT engineer,

It takes four years.

Yesterday this interior designer,

Women,

Contacted me and she said that I have been trying to succeed in meditation.

My mind has a lot of fears and distractions.

I was trying with the YouTube videos and I did not succeed.

I said,

How many hours of YouTube video you watched to become an interior designer?

No,

No,

No,

I have done a course.

How many years?

Three years.

Okay,

So you think that this meditation can be achieved by watching the YouTube videos?

We take it so very easy.

We take it very easy and there is the problem of ignorance.

So then master says that we have two types of knowledge.

One knowledge is objective knowledge that you can receive in formal education in the world outside and other is subjective knowledge.

One knowledge is what I am not.

What I am not?

I can get a knowledge of the medical degree,

I can understand the physiology,

Biochemistry,

Nuclear science,

Making an atom bomb,

Planets,

Astronomy.

This is what I am not.

When I study astronomy,

I am not there.

Another type of the knowledge is that who am I?

So once we follow that path,

We arrive at,

We start with the matter and then we come to the body.

We say,

You know,

My body is moving,

So body has a consciousness.

You see that?

There we have to explore and understand it.

Does the body has a consciousness or consciousness is independent of the body?

If the body has a consciousness,

Then this body will never die.

You need not to worry about,

You do not need to have a fear of the death.

Do you see that?

So we say,

Master says,

No,

This consciousness is independent.

It always exists,

It is ever existing.

Because of the presence of the consciousness,

The body is changing.

Body is independent.

Body keeps on changing,

Consciousness does not change.

But my mind is so much attached and identifies with the body.

So to drop the identification,

We have to talk of what?

Concept of attachment,

Concept of detachment,

Concept of delusion,

Concept of ignorance to help the person to go through the process.

Unless we discover that this consciousness is independent of the body.

Intellectually it makes sense that if the consciousness is embedded or if the consciousness is nature of the body.

We say,

You know,

My body is moving,

You know,

I am talking.

So it is the nature of the body.

No,

It is not the nature of the body.

In deep sleep,

What happens?

It is not the nature of the body.

So when we explain that,

What is the nature of the body?

So nature of the body,

If the consciousness is the nature of the body,

Nature means what?

That you cannot separate that very nature from the body.

But in deep sleep,

I become unconscious.

It is like the sweetness of a sugar.

Wherever you put the sugar,

It remains the sweetness is its nature.

So the consciousness is not the nature of the body.

So in order to guide,

We have to create those principles and concepts.

I am talking of the,

You know,

You see,

Pure consciousness,

Nirvana,

Understood.

But how to achieve that?

Then we have to undergo lot of challenges that we feel.

So now see that,

You know,

We say that,

You know.

.

.

No,

No,

No,

I cannot believe you that.

.

.

No,

It is not a question of belief.

You have to find the cause and effect relationship.

Now see,

Red hot iron ball.

The iron ball is there,

You put it into the fire,

It becomes the red.

Red ball.

Red hot iron ball.

So what happens?

The fire borrows some properties of the iron ball.

That is why the fire looks like a ball.

Iron has borrowed some properties of the fire.

That is why the iron ball looks like redness.

Same way,

Consciousness borrows some properties of the body.

Body borrows some properties of the consciousness.

That is why I am able to talk and move.

So it does not mean that body is consciousness.

It does not mean the body is consciousness.

It has borrowed some properties,

That's why it is acting.

And the time comes when it cannot borrow.

Then what happens?

R.

I.

P.

Rest in peace.

Now you see that red hot iron ball,

As long as you are keeping it under the fire,

It remains red.

You keep it outside.

What happens after some time?

Iron regains its natural properties of blackness.

It loses the redness.

Same thing happens with the body.

Consciousness is independent.

So the question is,

Can I live into that state of consciousness which is independent beyond the time,

Beyond the name and the form,

Which is the truth and all-pervading all the time.

That is what the nirvana is.

So what happens?

I have to divorce,

You know,

You see that.

Now your consciousness gets attached to the body and the mind complex.

I have preferences of strong likes and dislikes and I am thinking of the divorce.

I am not able to see the consciousness is independent of the body and mind complex.

The question of divorce doesn't come.

Do you see that?

But I cannot understand that.

Why?

Because the mind is filled with impurities,

Delusion and ignorance.

We have to remove it.

Unless we remove it,

We cannot reach it.

And that is a big curtain,

Blackout curtain.

Does not mean that the consciousness is attached to the mind.

No,

Not at all.

Consciousness is suffering.

No,

Not at all.

Can you tell me that your consciousness is five feet and my consciousness is six feet?

It is not.

Can you say that your consciousness is pure white and my consciousness is little wheatish?

It is not.

We are talking of the body and the mind.

Consciousness is always independent.

It is one.

It is all-pervading.

So that is why,

You know,

It's journey.

Journey takes a time because we have lot of false notions,

Ignorance.

Ignorance does not mean that we are illiterate.

Ignorance means that I do not know.

Who am I?

I'm just,

I'm subjected by the false notion.

And what kind of a false notion?

You see the mirage water from a distance.

But when you approach the mirage water,

The water is not there.

The mirage is not there.

It disappears.

Why it disappears?

Because it does not exist.

Why it does not exist?

Because it is non-existent.

So all this marriage,

Divorce,

Attachment,

Likes,

Dislikes,

Duality,

Conflict are non-existent.

We have forcibly made it existent.

And we are caught into that delusion.

It does not exist at all.

No,

Now I'm attached to my home.

Okay,

Very good.

So go out of your home.

Let me see whether the home is chasing you.

Then I will see that you are at home.

Home doesn't chase.

Bank account doesn't chase us.

You have a billion dollar and you don't have it.

Because that sense of ignorance is always,

We are caught in that ignorance.

And that is why we have a problem.

We are caught in false notion.

And those false notions are like mirage water.

So what does it mean?

The mirage water at a distance,

I see there is a mirage water.

It's a false.

But as I approach,

Nearer and nearer,

I see,

I don't see anything.

It is non-existent.

So when I approach the pure consciousness by moving the mind inside,

I see the impurities does not exist.

They are like the mirage water.

So one has to understand that process to reach to that state.

That interior designer was saying that,

You know,

I will pay you for one session.

And so that is why I asked the question,

That how long it took you to become an interior designer?

Three years.

I asked her,

Did you get my answer?

Oh,

Yes,

I got your answer.

But still she did not return.

I said,

I'm okay with it.

I should not tell you anything.

I should not tell you a lie.

That I should give a big promise.

Only in one hour I can take you to the nirvana.

Not possible.

So you see the entire journey.

Yes,

That's a good question that you have asked.

So the entire journey,

We have to take care of this.

First we have to understand Eastern wisdom.

What is that?

It is the self-discovery.

What is the goal of this science?

Others discovery.

Discovery of nature,

Phenomena,

Physiology,

Biochemistry,

Anatomy,

Animals,

Plants,

Stars.

I'm not a star.

I'm not the earth.

I'm not the body and mind.

So the science,

Goal of the science is to discover what I am not.

And the goal of the Eastern wisdom is to know what I am.

Approaches are different.

Goal is the same,

To find the truth.

But the approach is different.

It is purely a subjective approach.

And scientific is purely an object-oriented approach.

I'm discovering something in a dead matter.

Whether it is a body.

Body is made up of carbohydrate,

Protein,

Amino acids,

Minerals.

Behind the skin it is all matter.

Whether behind your skin and behind my skin.

There will be a difference in proportion of protein,

Carbohydrate and protein.

Otherwise it is the same.

God received a scientist who said,

No,

I have created a baby.

God asked the scientist,

From where you got the raw material?

Oh,

Raw material was present in the earth.

No,

I created those raw materials.

So he told the scientist,

First you create all the raw material and from your raw material you create the baby.

The raw material is always available.

You can create anything.

So now see,

We say that it is the body which has the consciousness.

Body undergoes a complex process,

The science says and then it continues.

It leads you to the rise of the consciousness.

Science says the consciousness is the product of the body.

Means matter.

Oh really?

Very good.

So can you calculate how much protein,

Carbohydrate,

Minerals,

Vitamins that I have in this body?

Yes,

I can calculate.

So you have calculated.

So I can ask the scientist,

Please bring the same amount in degree and quality of the carbohydrate,

Protein,

Minerals,

Etc.

Put it on the table and create another Girish.

What you are talking about?

You cannot infuse the consciousness into the matter.

Are you getting it what I am saying?

Same amount of carbohydrate,

Protein,

They analyze,

They are good to analyze.

They have found the proportion of everything.

One ounce of,

One pound of protein,

Carbohydrate is present in your body.

So now you bring the same amount of protein,

Carbohydrate,

Buy it from the Walmart and bring it on the table and create another end.

Not possible.

It is only because of the consciousness,

That pure consciousness.

Pure consciousness is of the nature of the intelligence.

It is that presence which helps the number of the cells makes my nose.

Other group of the cells makes my ears.

Science cannot do that.

Ears contain the same carbohydrate,

Protein.

Nose contain the same matter.

The science has not evolved to that level where they can convert a particular composition into an eye,

Into a nose,

Into a teeth,

Into a heart.

Not possible.

That consciousness is super intelligent.

That intelligence is present in the entire nature which is all pervading.

That is what the realization of that consciousness is known as the Nirvana.

You asked me a good question.

So you see,

That is the.

.

.

So sometimes we make it mysterious.

No,

Not at all.

Master says you understand.

Are you dedicated,

Committed to understanding?

You understand logic step by step.

Don't follow any code.

No religion is required.

No God is required.

But we don't have a time.

Why we don't have a time?

We are afterly busy.

Where we are afterly busy,

That gives me lot of stress.

I am busy.

Afterly busy for what?

For seeking a pleasure?

The pleasure from the world is impermanent?

No,

I am very busy.

I have to take care of my honey and the same honey after few years divorce you.

This is what is happening.

Or you may create a disliking.

Look at our friend Jack.

You see everywhere in the life.

No,

No,

I will take care of this body.

Okay,

You take care of the body.

Because of that intelligence which is causing the aging of the body.

What does it mean by aging of the body?

Leave all those sensual pleasures.

Devote more time in meditation.

Your body is not capable.

No,

No,

I will continue to drink vodka.

And then I go to the God and pray that give me two liver God.

But I don't want to leave vodka.

That is our desire.

God,

In this life I did not enjoy the sweet desserts.

So next life I pray you.

You give me three pancreas.

That is our desire.

Intrinsic desire.

That is why we marry to be happy.

We divorce to be happy.

We remarry to be happy.

Why don't you understand that you marry to be happy?

You recognize,

Recognize that the marriage is not a certification of happiness.

No,

But no,

No,

I will remarry and be happy.

My body is incapable but still I want to force it to become capable.

Then I will suffer from lot of illnesses.

That is what the ignorance is.

When we both were kids,

Maybe an infant,

Maybe six months or two years,

Everyone was,

You know,

Touching our cheeks.

But now nobody touches our cheeks.

There is a process,

You know,

For evolution.

We don't respect that.

We don't respect.

We disrespect because of our attachment,

Because of our clingingness,

And that is why we suffer.

Otherwise there is no reason to suffer.

If I start expecting now everyone should come and,

You know,

Cuddle my cheeks.

Not possible.

65,

The body is 65 years.

It has gone under many changes.

So I have to be wise enough to recognize why the nature has put me into this age.

I have more time to contemplate and reflect and to see and find out my real self.

Because my,

You know,

Even our,

As we grow older,

Our ability of the body,

Capacities of the body goes on reducing.

Do whatever we want to do.

But still it is reduced.

I can run 10 miles at the age of 20,

But now I cannot do it.

But what I do?

I keep on going to the gym.

Even at the age.

.

.

Do it,

Limitation.

Keep the body active.

That is okay.

But I want to bypass that limit.

I am spending more time where I should not.

That is another level of ignorance.

That is what,

You know,

The journey of the self-discovery or finding the pure consciousness is there.
