This Satsang delves deep into the secrets of evolution, described clearly in Premasudha's lighthearted way. Here is how she describes the human condition and what it feels like for seekers. We all walk around & around in the labyrinths of our intellects, desperately looking for a door into the Garden of Eden or Promised Landor Shangri La that we all intuitively know is nearby if we could only find our way to it. It is possible to get lost for a lifetime in these labyrinths but we can find freedom if we become humble which means becoming open to learning like a child. Then an authentic teacher or our own soul can give us clues and glimmerings which if followed, thin the walls and make windows so we can at least see and feel how close that garden really is. When our intellect lets go and really drops down into the heart, the door to the garden opens & we achieve liberation or mukti. Listening to this Satsang offers deep reassurance and priceless tips for sincere seekers everywhere.

Transcript

I was thinking earlier today that if at very least you get reassured through these satsangs,

Actually there's much more than that,

But at the very least that you get reassured,

Then that makes me very happy because it kind of nullifies a lot of fear just through that.

See?

Yeah.

Yeah,

It's like just like knowing that mom's around and you know,

Amma is like a million to me,

But I figure it's like all hands to the pump,

Right?

Like,

We all need as much help as we can get.

I always felt that way.

Yeah.

And also another bulletin I got this morning was that everybody's soul was being accessed through the satsang.

So don't feel like you're not doing it right or that you're slow or anything because your soul energy is being allowed in and up and it will be at a pace that you can handle.

And who needs any trauma,

Any more drama?

So a gentler way.

Yeah.

Yeah,

But it is coming through.

I really got that very strong bulletin and I got a strong bulletin to tell you this.

So,

Yeah.

Right.

And interesting,

I'm getting again this,

There's a lot of angelic support that you guys are receiving,

A lot of angelic support.

It's interesting.

It's very reassuring support of energy coming through today.

Yeah.

Right.

Good.

Good.

Yeah.

You know,

The problem with the spiritual journey is that to get anywhere or,

You know,

Experience our truth,

Our ego has to die somewhat.

And our ego is kind of like the glasses we look through.

So we believe it.

So there's just turmoil associated with this.

It's just,

It's just the gig.

It's just,

You know,

The way it plays out.

But the more practice you have about letting your glasses of your ego crack and dissolve,

The more trust you build.

Yeah.

The more trust comes in.

The more trust comes in.

And I'm just getting special love for Jenna.

Just getting like,

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

Good.

And support.

Yeah.

Good.

You know,

I'm sure all of you feel like you need it too,

Because I mean,

We all do,

You know,

We're all like,

These solitudes going through our lives.

And we're these solitudes until we connect up with our true nature,

Which is connecting up with true reality.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So I,

Again,

I have a whole bunch of notes.

But they seem sort of beside the point as I get going.

I want to tell you about Harry Truman,

When he became,

I think it was Harry Truman,

When he became president of the United States.

He had a dream that the whole White House,

Or I can't remember whether it was a White House,

Or his,

His own private house,

Fell in on him.

Okay.

Now,

This was obviously a response to the pressures and responsibility of becoming president.

Now,

The thing is,

You know,

As president,

He would have soldiered on,

No doubt,

You know,

He might not have had the time or the inclination to get interested in his soul.

But it is exactly when our house falls down on us,

That we can come out of the ego,

That we see that it's not a real strong edifice.

It's not true reality,

And we can emerge out of it.

And that's why difficulty and suffering is a plus.

But it's so horrible to go through.

It's like,

It seems so endless.

We feel shame.

We screwed up.

But it's actually how we come out of this edifice of our ego,

Unless we're,

You know,

Sort of knocking on the door constantly.

You know,

But we're standing on the door to ourselves knocking,

Going,

Please open,

Please show me.

Yeah.

That's it.

There's a lot of love coming to you all.

Yeah.

Right.

Okay.

Some of you may feel it.

Maybe not.

It doesn't matter.

You know,

It doesn't matter.

There's still coming to you.

There's kind of a need for reassurance.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know,

On the journey,

We walk into an intellectual labyrinth full of kind of ghosts,

Fears,

Complexes.

And we walk around in this until we actually find the door to our true nature.

Okay.

Yeah.

And this door to our true nature comes through surrender or acceptance.

So,

I walked around in this labyrinth for decades.

And it's where all my writing came from,

Was kind of what I learned walking around this labyrinth.

And so,

You know,

Sometimes when you ask me questions,

I'll say,

Okay,

That's coming from your mind.

I can't answer that.

And it's because you're speaking from the labyrinth,

And you're wanting me to go into the labyrinth.

And I don't want to do that.

I worked so hard to get out of my own bloody labyrinth.

I'm just not going into anybody's labyrinth.

Yeah.

Okay,

That's good.

The penny dropped there for some of you.

That would explain my responses.

That's good.

Okay,

Good.

You guys are all very open to your soul energy.

I really want to really emphasize this.

Okay,

So don't doubt it.

Do you know?

It's flowing in for all of you.

Some of you are just getting a few vapors,

You know,

A bit of steam kind of,

You know,

Coming in through the cells of your body,

Kind of.

But it's good.

Any opening at all is good.

So,

I want to come back to the labyrinth.

You see,

We're scared to leave the labyrinth,

Even though it's a beautiful,

Beautiful Garden of Eden,

Basically,

Sitting there waiting for us.

But we're used to this labyrinth.

And that's why we think,

Oh,

So much effort is needed to get anything done.

That's the way it is in the labyrinth.

Yeah.

But as these lines or walls in the labyrinth start dissolving,

Start dissolving through your understanding that actually the Creator is running things,

That Amma is running things,

Your soul is running things,

You start getting the scent of the flowers of the garden.

And it becomes easier to trust.

Now,

This process can't really be rushed,

You know.

But when,

You know,

Somebody comes out of the labyrinth violently,

That's kind of a psychotic episode.

Then they're leaving this labyrinth.

What happens is the labyrinth,

They,

You know,

As they're moving out of it,

They get taken over by it.

So,

That's why they don't make sense,

Because they're just so extremely caught in the labyrinth.

But it's just as it's leaving.

So,

All spiritual journey is,

The journey is coming out of this labyrinth in a stable way,

In a stable gradual way.

But you guys,

All of you are seeing life from this labyrinth.

And it's not true reality.

It's something you've built through all your lifetimes.

It's got a particular flavor of your vastness,

Of your,

Of all the lives you've lived.

Okay,

This is good.

So,

Some of you are feeling as I'm talking,

You're feeling more encased by this labyrinth,

And that's good to feel it.

Because you're actually feeling what you live in.

And lots of us have spooks in there.

We've got like hanging ghosts.

So,

We come around a corner and it's like,

It's true.

It's true.

I've said this many times.

I would walk around in fear sometimes with my hair standing up on end.

There's actually an interesting story about this.

There's someone I know who is really dealing with being,

Feeling haunted right now.

And it's,

You know,

It's,

This person works,

You know,

With the homeless.

So,

He's working and living right down in the hard part of town.

And he came,

He,

He,

One of the residents of his building hung herself,

And he found her body.

So,

He's been really,

Really rattled,

Seriously rattled by all this.

And feeling,

You know,

In a building where there's a lot of unhappiness,

This invites negativity,

You know.

So,

Anyway,

He was having trouble sleeping.

And in the middle of the night,

He,

He heard the Febreze bottle being sprayed.

And there was nobody else in the room.

And he could smell the Febreze.

And this totally terrified him and he couldn't sleep.

And,

You know,

I was thinking,

Fear,

Fear will even give us a picture of what we're dealing with,

You know,

Because this person is,

He's actually trying to make life smell sweeter without doing some of the harder work,

You know.

So,

It's like,

He gets the spooks,

Spraying Febreze to cover up the negative smell.

It's like,

It's like,

He's actually doing this in his approach to life right now.

So,

Even what we're scared of will be,

It's our soul trying to tell us something.

Do you understand?

It's not,

Sure,

It's terrifying and everything.

But if we just kind of get a little bit dispassionate,

Which is,

You know,

If you're terrified,

It's just impossible to get dispassionate.

So,

I know it's like,

Yeah,

I know what it's like.

But even just hearing this,

That,

You know,

You could just be dispassionate and look at what you're scared of and look at it as a metaphor.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Not in a judgmental way,

Just like in a novelist way.

But if a novelist was trying to make a point,

You know,

In this case,

With this,

With this guy,

If the novelist is trying to make a point that,

You know,

The bad smells of the vasanas are trying to be covered up without doing the deeper work,

They'd have like the Febreze spray bottle going off.

Like,

I'll tell you,

I feel so secure in life that I'll tell you nothing rattles me.

Well,

Knock wood,

Knock wood,

You know,

But it's like,

The stuff I used to be so terrified of,

Like,

It's just,

It's just all gone.

Yeah.

That's it.

You guys are made out of love.

Your bodies are made out of energy.

That energy is unconditional love.

It's just when we're in the labyrinth,

We don't feel like this.

And sometimes in the labyrinth,

There's a little window,

And we look in the window,

And we can see the garden,

Or the windows may be open a tiny crack,

And we can smell it.

We get a sense of where we're going and where life is,

Is going to go.

You know,

We get a sense that if we just keep going,

That life will open up.

It will become easier.

I'm losing you.

Hello.

It's funny.

It's almost like there's a feeling it's intense,

And there's a circuit break going on.

Yeah.

I want to say,

Let yourselves be loved,

Sweet ones.

Let yourself be loved.

Yeah,

Please.

Please.

You deserve it.

Your birthright is your birthright.

That's your birthright.

Bethany,

Many blessings to you,

Sweet one.

Yeah.

Thorsten,

Blessings to you.

Yeah.

I'm seeing like all these kind of scary projectors that people have got covering their eyes.

You know,

It's like one of those virtual realities,

And you're watching a movie,

And it's scary.

Like,

I'm seeing this in front of your eyes.

It's not real.

It's just the illusion.

It's just the illusion.

Yeah.

There's a lot of love here.

There's a lot of love in this satsang.

It's coming from your hearts,

My heart,

All the people,

All the angelic energies,

Mama's grace,

And it helps.

Even if you can't feel it,

It helps.

It's like a mother's love for a child helps that child,

Whether that child can feel it or not,

You know?

So,

If he's in the playground,

Or she's in the playground,

And having trouble,

The mother's love for the child,

Or the parent's love for the child,

Will be helping that child,

Even if you can't feel it.

Will be helping that child,

Even if the child doesn't feel it.

Do you know,

It's in the love of two sincere parents is in the vibe around the child.

So,

The love coming through as a result of this satsang,

You're coming through,

And the angelic support is the vibe that you're in.

Okay?

Yeah.

And it will make things gentler for you.

Even if it's a tough thing,

It will be gentler for you than it would have been without it,

Without this.

Yeah.

That's it.

That's it.

So,

There's movement in some of your backs,

And again,

Sometimes it's unconscious,

But there's movement around with your kundalini.

Yeah.

The satsangs do result in the kundalini activation as you come.

The love activates your soul energy.

That's it.

There's one of the things that,

Just about with this one,

Is I always felt like a mess.

Like,

I never felt like I knew much at all.

I had a really deep kind of true north direction,

But I felt lacking,

So lacking,

And so really blinded by my own ego that it made me very open to input from teachers.

Okay?

Now,

Sometimes this was a bad thing because I was too,

Like,

I opened to people who were not authentic,

Authentic,

But it really helped me with,

When I found an authentic teacher,

I really opened,

And I listened,

And I responded.

Okay?

So,

I really want to put a flag there,

Like a marker.

Now,

This can't be rushed.

You have to trust the teacher,

Trust the authenticity of the teacher,

But you know,

Follow the guidance.

If you think this person knows,

Follow the guidance because sometimes people just keep going in circles,

And there's nothing really I can do because they don't listen,

They don't follow,

And it's kind of like,

Okay,

But what's the point?

It's not like you have to follow by the letter,

But just do your best.

Do your best to steer in that direction.

Yeah.

You know,

We Westerners,

We're really,

You see,

We're so,

Okay,

Really listen to this,

We're so unbonded,

We're so deeply unbonded to our parents,

Whereas kids,

We just felt the alienation,

That we decided we're all alone,

And it's all up to us.

It's that separation,

Loneliness that makes it so hard to follow a teacher's guidance,

To trust that somebody actually knows.

And the teacher can't save us from,

You know,

Our vasanas,

Or,

You know,

The karma that we're going to encounter this life,

But the teacher can make it much easier to go through.

It can be quite heartbreaking for me because I can feel how boarded up the person is,

And how they can't really take what I'm saying seriously.

And it's like,

It's too bad.

And it's just the labyrinth that I was talking to you about.

And as our labyrinth gets more porous,

And more windows,

And open windows,

It begins easier to follow the teacher,

Because actually,

You can see what they're getting at.

And a person's had enough experience with how deluded their ego can make them,

That they're kind of open to new information.

Now,

This is rattling some of you.

There's a little bit of restlessness coming up.

But it's kind of my biggest obstacle in working with people,

You know.

Right.

It's kind of like,

You know,

You're a kid and you hear what your mother says.

And then,

You know,

You go,

Oh,

That's mom.

And then,

You know,

When you grow up,

You go,

Hmm,

She was right.

You know,

And it's kind of like,

Or your dad,

Either one.

But I just mentioning the woman,

Because mothers get discounted the most.

And I feel this with,

With,

You know,

Seekers sometimes that because this is coming through the female,

This is coming through the female,

It like goes under the heading of mom.

And it just gets discounted.

It's like,

Yeah.

I'm really spotlighting the tricks of the labyrinth,

Really.

And if your labyrinth is a little thinner,

As a result of this,

It's slightly uncomfortable satsang,

But they're all kind of uncomfortable.

Somebody was telling me how,

How excited they get to come to the satsang,

And they enjoy them,

But they're really glad when they're over to like,

I get it.

I so get it.

Like,

You know,

Yeah.

That's it.

Yeah,

You know,

If you can laugh about evolution,

It's,

It's easier to evolve.

We're so serious.

We're so serious.

Yeah.

And you know,

For a seeker,

A real seeker,

It is really serious business,

Because for a real seeker,

If you're really climbing,

You're climbing a ladder.

And there's just a big black hole underneath you.

That's what it feels like to be a sincere seeker.

And that's why the focus,

The listening to the teacher and the more care with,

You know,

Meditation practices and observing your thoughts,

It becomes more,

You put more energy in it.

But you know,

The way we are in the world right now,

There's a big black hole kind of coming anyway.

So we might as well get on the spiritual journey and find our way,

You know,

In the kind of highest good way.

Are there any questions or comments,

Please?

It's okay.

It's okay.

You know,

Who you really are,

Is way more brilliant,

Ingenious,

Loving,

Charismatic,

Poetic,

Powerful than any facsimile.

Sometimes in each other,

We can see,

You know,

Or we can feel our own kind of flashes of genius,

Like just a flash of something.

And it's coming from the soul.

And you know,

I used to feel like,

You know,

There's that friend song and it talks about,

From the sitcom Friends,

And it talks about something about being stuck in second gear.

And I remember in my 20s,

Really feeling like I was stuck in second gear,

That I was much more intelligent and energetic than what was manifesting.

It was just so strong.

And I'd get so frustrated with where is it?

Where is it?

And it's right here,

You guys,

It's right in your heart.

Yeah,

Your brilliance,

Your compassion,

Your power,

Your comprehension.

It's there right in your heart.

In our hearts.

Yeah.

It's with you.

It's in you.

It's inescapable.

It's what you're running from.

It's what you're so scared of.

That's it.

And there's a relaxation that comes with greater comprehension.

Okay.

That's it.

That's why authentic people get so relaxed.

They relax into their greater comprehension.

And any,

You know,

Any shift into a deeper relaxation that you make is gold.

I don't know if some of you have had experience of when fear lets go.

It can be like a tension in your body suddenly lets go and you relax.

It's like the biggest relaxation is to realize that it's all going to happen the way it's going to happen.

And all you can ever be really is an observer.

And that something beyond you is running the whole show.

So you might as well just relax.

Yeah,

It's not on your shoulders.

It's not on your head.

It's actually the source of what's running the whole show is in your heart.

It's all in your heart.

You know,

At the highest level of understanding,

You know,

The sages,

I mean,

They'd say that this whole universe was coming from our hearts.

It does come from our hearts.

And it's,

It's like a spider releases out this substance,

Which forms the web that it lives on.

It's like,

This is what happens.

The whole universe is actually coming from your heart.

And it is manifesting like a spider's web,

The sun and the moon.

And everything around you,

All the people,

It's all you.

But,

You know,

This is kind of like impractical knowledge in a way.

Until it just becomes the obvious reality,

But maybe it's nice to know that this is where you're going.

Yeah,

It's where you're going and you can,

You can practice relaxing.

You practice,

Observe your tension,

Serve your fear.

And no,

It's not reality.

You're just caught in the web.

It's caught in the labyrinth.

And this is where humility comes.

It's be humble enough to realize that you are in the labyrinth and maybe someone can help you out.

Rather than saying the labyrinth is true.

And any,

Any other suggestion is like deluded.

And you know,

That's how most people are.

They think the labyrinth is true.

And even horrible,

Horrible,

Dark,

Horrible,

Grimy labyrinths,

They're holding on to for dear life.

It's like,

Oh,

It's so sad.

It's just a labyrinth.

I'm sure that it's really nice to be here with you today.

Not being able to get here,

But it's really lovely to be here today.

And when you started talking about labyrinth,

I wanted to laugh and not in a bad way.

The other thing I want to say is even though I haven't been here,

I've been listening back to the audios and I've got so much from it,

So much resonance and yeah,

Yeah,

Lots of learning there,

But the labyrinth brought up for me,

The film,

The matrix.

And I remember when I first saw that film,

It's people plugged into this living a world while some of us know what the matrix is.

And I remember seeing it and think,

That's what you mean.

Because it's not a real world.

And what I love about that film and,

You know,

Me thinking about,

Because I've been thinking about how do I continue walking this earth going forward?

Because I know that I can't,

I can't,

I don't wish to walk it the way I have been.

But Neo finds a way to go back into the matrix and still keep a sense of himself.

So when you started talking about the labyrinth,

That's what came up for me,

You know,

The ability to be able to be in the labyrinth,

But not consumed.

Yeah,

That's it.

That's it.

That's it.

And then gradually,

The labyrinth gets smaller and smaller and you end up in the garden.

But yes,

That's it.

That is walking with integrity.

That is the spiritual journey.

Yeah.

Good,

Miriam.

Thank you for this.

No,

Thank you.

Yeah.

And actually,

I can feel your growth.

Yeah.

Well done.

Yeah.

So cool.

It's so rewarding for this one.

Believe me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Because I was so caught in the labyrinth,

You guys.

And that's why it's so I'm so driven,

Really,

I just still want to share because I can't stand it.

I can't stand the thought of people suffering in it.

Yeah.

And at least Miriam,

As you're talking about,

When you when you have the self awareness,

Then you have your autonomy,

You have your real power,

And you can,

You can steer out of the labyrinth gradually.

And it just happens by you just stop believing in its true reality,

You just realize that things can change so dramatically as you change your viewpoint.

Yeah.

Good.

It's hard,

Isn't it?

Changing your viewpoint.

Yeah.

I mean,

We got dreams to help us.

You know,

Sometimes the relationship can help open our mind for a while.

Okay,

I'm just going to give special blessings to each one of you.

Yeah,

Special blessings.

Maxie.

Raja Rajan.

Laurie.

Jenna.

Joanne.

Franca.

Forreston.

Suzanne.

Phyllis.

Saskia.

Megan.

Michael.

Miriam.

Alex.

Stephanie.

Jolly.

Michi.

Louisa.

Alicia.

And Bethan.

Special blessings to you all.

And greater angelic support for you all.

That's it.

That's how it works,

You guys.

When we tap into true reality,

You know,

We can bring angels to people.

Yeah.

It's like,

What's not like,

What's not to like?

Like,

It's just like a kitty's favorite story.

It is kind of,

You know,

Fairy tales and children's stories.

It's like,

It's actually the truth of things more.

Our idea of concrete reality is the most diluted of all.

Yeah.

Our usual concrete reality is diluted and very low level,

You guys.

Yeah.

And when you start growing out of it,

You realize this.

It's interesting.

A lot of you are feeling lighter.

Some of you despite yourselves,

You know,

In a way.

I don't mean that in a bad way.

We just get used to our pain,

You know.

We think it's real.

Yeah.

I'm seeing your beauty.

It's very strong.

Your beauty is coming up very,

Very strongly.

Right.

Your divinity.

Your eternal being.

You're this infinite beings.

Yeah.

It's like,

There's a decision that happens where you just decide to trust in that.

You just decide,

You get enough data that you just decide to trust that.

Okay.

And that begins your real journey.

And right after that,

We all know what happens.

Your ego will go berserk and it will say,

No,

Don't even think about it.

You worm.

You.

And it's like,

Just keep trusting.

Like,

Just keep,

Even if you've lost trust,

Just keep coming to sad sayings.

Okay.

Even if you've lost trust,

Just turn up and let the sad sayings carry you.

Okay.

I mean that you let the sad sayings carry you.

Sometimes we just have to be carried.

It's like that,

You know,

The story of the one set of footprints,

This guy was saying,

Where were you God when I needed you?

And Jesus said,

Well,

Look,

There's,

Or God said,

There's during that tough patch,

Look back there.

And the guy saw just one set of footprints.

So it was like,

He was being carried by God.

So yeah,

Let the sad sayings carry you,

You know,

If you're in pain,

Because I'll tell you sometimes,

You know,

This happened to me a lot,

Like,

You know,

I had this kind of wildness.

So I ended up,

You know,

Our pain is,

Is down there,

The complexes,

The,

The,

The misunderstandings are like down at the bottom of the ocean.

And so sometimes the psyche takes you on a deep dive to find these old forgotten disowned capabilities and aspects of your divine nature in order to bring them up and integrate this into your conscious mind.

Okay,

During these periods of the deep diving,

We can just feel like that we're falling apart.

We don't know which way's up.

We,

We feel like we should be in the loony bin.

But if you just keep,

Like,

Getting the support of the sad things,

Just getting whatever support you can,

Like I would walk my dog,

As I've told you endlessly,

This material comes up and you become expanded.

Yeah.

So the great thing about with this is when we're doing dives,

A regular psychologist might say,

Well,

You know,

You need pills or,

You know,

You have to,

And,

And,

And someone like me will just go,

This is what it's like,

It's not going to last forever.

Just keep breathing,

Keep talking to the creator,

Or getting whatever support you can.

And you will only get these periods when you're ready,

If you're tough enough.

Okay,

So don't worry about them,

They will only come when you're ready.

But even understanding the concept of their stuff stuck in the bottom of the ocean.

And this is why you see,

You could live in an ashram,

And do all the practices and everything.

But if you never allowed yourself to go that deep,

You'd stay basically a superficial seeker.

And this is where the will and intent really are important.

And there's some of you that I just my heart just opens for,

For how you know,

Stuck you've been,

And how willing you are to come forward and learn,

Like I'm just so forward and learn,

Like I'm just so touched.

Like Miriam,

Like,

Really,

Congratulations.

It's a good work.

And Stephanie,

For all your patience and keep going.

Yeah.

And,

You know,

My,

You're always in my heart,

And I always have you in an energetic embrace.

Yeah.

And even if like,

I pushed you away or being tough,

You know,

Like,

And we had some real knockout,

Drag out fights,

You know,

Some,

And it's so interesting,

Because Anna was talking this morning about how she was basically seeing a total the commitment from this one is and how this one will get right down in with somebody to help them shift.

And Anna shifted and is feeling the garden.

But I'll tell you,

I understand why teachers get aloof,

Because I already made it out of my labyrinth.

You know,

I just,

Yeah.

But anyway,

I think it's I was such a hard case myself,

That I have endless compassion for hard cases.

Yeah.

You know,

It's interesting.

It's I can see the labyrinth has lightened.

And,

You know,

If you just come out of it for a bit,

This is part of what weakens it.

And then you get the sense of the garden,

This garden that you're going to,

This garden where it is just like being a child again.

I don't know if you can remember,

But when I was three years old,

I remember,

You know,

Saturday mornings,

And it was at our summer camp,

Our family's summer camp,

And I was going horseback riding on and my at this old,

You know,

I would ride on this little Shetland pony that was 30 years old and just would go so slowly,

Right.

And for me,

It was nirvana.

And the air was full of gold.

It was always full of gold,

Really,

When I was little.

I could feel it.

I can remember it.

But on this particular,

You know,

Saturdays when we got to do this,

It was life was beyond nirvana.

And this is what this things feel like now for me.

It's like,

It's like,

Wow,

It is a physical state.

It's a physical state of total relaxation into life.

And into the sanctity of life and into that it's all love based.

And,

You know,

At the same time,

When I'm working with people,

It can be like uncomfortable.

Or sometimes when I came back from having been away,

And I'd worked with so many people,

I had like five days kind of clearing where I was releasing material I'd picked up.

But otherwise,

It's just,

And even doing that,

It's like glorious,

Because it's,

It's in service of the divine.

It's just a glorious.

I feel honored.

I feel honored that you let me,

That you come to the satsangs,

Honored that you let me work with you so deeply.

Because it's just God helping God out of the labyrinth.

And isn't it a big joke?

And how deluded we get.

But,

You know,

We're all going to wake up sometime.

You can wake up during your life.

Or you can wake up when you pass over.

And see the humor of it all.

Yeah.

And if it's a little easier to wake up because of the satsangs,

I'm just blessed.

There's a really big knowledge to grow into.

To grow into.

And the hardest part is when you're just starting to leave the ego and fear comes up.

It's always,

Fear will always come up,

Like when we're moving into freedom.

And just keep the concentration on what is beyond fear on the truth behind the illusion.

You know,

Even if your hair is standing up on end,

Even just mentally reminding yourself.

You know,

When you move through fear enough,

You come to these periods of sunshine,

Of real sunshine.

And then,

You know,

We're,

We have to deal with the next level.

So the clouds come again.

But then the level of sunshine becomes stronger.

You move into a bigger plateau of sunshine.

And it's reassuring and proof.

And then the clouds come again,

And it's the next level.

So just steer to the sunshine.

If you're stuck in fear,

Premise the sunshine.

Go,

Show me the sunshine outside of fear.

Yeah.

You know,

It's,

Yeah.

Ah,

Are there any questions or comments or,

It's kind of,

I just feel this really strong need for reassurance from some of you.

So it's coming through to you.

It's this reassurance.

It's all worth it.

Okay,

It's all worth it.

I promise.

I promise.

And please love and respect yourselves.

Please respect yourself,

No matter what.

No matter what.

What you think is so bad or is nothing.

It's just a dream.

Nothing can take away the fact you're an immortal being in human form.

Nothing can take this away.

You are that.

And my deepest prayer for you is may your hearts become stronger and your minds broader.

Because it's our narrow minds that judge us,

Really.

As your understanding grows,

You'll stop judging yourself.

Yeah.

Okay.

Last call,

Questions or comments?

Okay,

Well,

You did really good work was done,

All of you.

All of you.

I felt you all present.

Yeah.

My blessings come all the time.

Amma's grace.

I asked for Amma's grace for you guys.

Yeah.

Okay.

Blessings.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.
