Love Triumphs Over Fear

In today's satsang Premasudha addresses the elephant in the room. The elephant is the fact that the spiritual journey can be a hardship at times.

But everything valuable costs. Pregnancy can be nine months of slog for those women who don't feel physically well while pregnant. Relationships take time and some degree of sacrifice and compromise. Raising kids takes enormous effort.

But it is all worth it!

Similarly, the attainment of peace and true spiritual knowledge is worth every tough time. But just to help the medicine go down, Premasudha offers a couple of humorous stories of her own tough times along the way. And she reaffirms that we are all safely in the arms of the Creator/Amma, even if we don't always feel that way!

Blessings.

I'm so happy to see you.

You have me.

We all call on Alma's grace,

The Creator's grace,

With open,

Open,

Wide open hearts.

Asking to feel your grace,

Alma,

To feel it,

To feel ourselves bathed in it,

To open to it.

To swim in it.

As your beloved children,

Swimming in this ocean of grace,

Because it's true.

That is the truth of things.

That is the truth of things.

We are infinitely beloved.

May we feel it more and more every day from this day forward,

From this moment forward.

May we feel it more and more as our lives progress.

And may we share it.

And so it is.

Wow.

I love it.

Today feels like it's the second in the sequence around discomfiture,

Spiritual discomfiture.

Really,

You know,

The discomfiture that happens as fear is cleared.

That's kind of the deepest discomfiture that you'll get.

Is when the tentacles of fear are really lifting,

When you're really shifting into more felt trust.

When your body is,

Goes up in vibration.

The discomfiture you'll get before that happens will be to the max.

It's the same process of,

You know,

On our deathbed,

The discomfiture of knowing that we're dying.

But then the great,

You know,

The great,

Ah,

It's just love.

And we're met with this warm love and angels and beings.

And it's a big relief.

The same thing happens with ego death.

When you're letting go of fear,

The same thing.

It's scary.

You know,

The chains,

The chains of our fears come up.

Then there's this release of it all.

It all turns into,

It's like,

It all turns into just baloney.

You just see,

It's just a big lie.

There is no trouble.

There's no problem at all.

And this is why I say,

Like,

Teachers,

They all get like,

They know everything's okay.

Really,

They all do.

And then they speak from that.

And you know,

There's a funny thing that happens,

Which is,

It's like,

There's kind of,

Because you know,

Everything's okay.

I don't know.

I don't know how to put it.

Okay,

So listen carefully,

Because I don't want you to misunderstand this.

There's a disinterest with helping people.

Like really,

It's why you're alive.

It's all you want to do.

But in helping people,

It's kind of,

There's this neutrality that happens.

Right?

You offer the help,

But you're not passionately attached whether they use it or not.

You just offer it.

And you know,

You know,

The thing is,

You know that whoever you're helping is in the arms of the Creator,

And he's okay.

Right?

This is how premasutra approaches all of you.

I know you're okay.

There is enormous empathy for what the journey feels like,

And how the knowledge of how deluded we can get when we get caught in the labyrinth of our minds.

And there's no judgment at all.

There's just kind of a,

You know,

If I'm offering this knowledge,

I want you to listen.

You know,

It's kind of like,

So listen,

You know,

If you,

If you like,

Pick up a book and start reading,

You know,

Premasutra will get irritated.

It's like,

Come on,

Listen.

Okay,

But it's just at that level.

It's not too serious.

Right?

So,

The base point is,

You guys are all okay.

You are held in the Creator's arms,

Amma's arms.

You're surrounded by angels.

You're good.

We're just working with your head.

We're like doing head operations,

You know.

Yeah.

Okay.

So,

I've been speaking to,

You know,

Several of you who are caught in dark times.

And premasutra,

We're glad you contacted her so help can be offered,

Because it's easy to help at this point.

It's so easy.

It's no effort.

So,

One of the concerns that has been coming up in several is the base chakra fears,

The fear of being able to support oneself,

About receiving enough money to survive,

Especially while on the journey and while wanting to live in truth,

Rather than,

You know,

Always pursuing the bottom line,

Rather than the usual focus on material survival.

Yeah.

And I can feel even with these words,

Some of you,

It's catalyzing some of you.

And it's good,

It's catalyzing.

So,

May you move into more trust and peace.

So,

One of the things that can happen when we're scared,

And we want to get a job,

We may feel spiritually confused and we may be applying for a job.

And,

You know,

We won't get a job then,

You know.

This is what happens.

It often,

We often get like a reflection of our fear that,

Ah,

We're going to be impoverished.

Right.

So,

We need great faith and great patience.

I don't know if I can communicate to you what it was like for Pramasutti.

You remember,

I was like,

I went from,

You know,

I once applied for,

I couldn't even get a job babysitting.

Like I told you,

I came from this really high achievement family and I went through this period of my journey where it was a double thing.

I really needed the money and I really wanted to be around little children and I couldn't get a job.

So,

You know,

I can't remember how it got sorted out,

But something happened and the money thing got solved for at least temporarily.

You'll never be left alone,

But I want you to understand that the journey can be like this.

It can be,

You know,

If we're clearing extreme levels of fear in ourselves,

We can get kind of extreme circumstances.

Now,

This is the second of two.

I'm not going to like spend overly focus on the tough parts of the journey,

But I feel they need to be acknowledged.

Yeah,

Because sometimes,

You guys,

The reason,

Sometimes the most innocent people,

The most valuable,

You know,

Like the ones who are really coming in with innocence,

Feel the worst about themselves because they don't walk to the drum of the society.

With one person that I spoke to,

As we,

Okay,

And may you guys all benefit from this.

As we spoke,

It felt to me,

Premasutha saw the image of Amma come and she lifted this kind of black shroud of shame that was covering the individual's core.

And this shroud of shame,

Which was actually thin,

But,

You know,

Was dark,

Had stopped this person from being able to feel safe,

To feel the creator,

To know how loved they are.

Right,

And this feels,

It's a very,

It's key to Westerners,

You guys,

It,

You know,

Maybe to these two,

But in my experience,

You know,

Because our focus is so outward,

Many of us,

As little kids,

Turn away from our true nature and feel ashamed of it.

You know,

When there's a conflict between,

You know,

With parents and children,

When they're little,

The child will always think that they're the problem.

And this is what happens to us.

So,

I'm just calling on grace to help you with this,

You guys,

Help you with this kind of thing.

There was a very dear one who,

You know,

Sort of resisted Premasuddha's input just a little bit.

I mean,

Just a little bit,

Like,

Premasuddha can get big arguments,

It's like,

This was tiny.

And she emailed me after feeling so bad about having resisted the input,

Just feeling crushed that she was a miserable sinner and everything.

And I wrote back and I went,

Man,

It was nothing,

Honey.

Premasuddha's had far worse,

Like.

Yeah,

You see,

You guys,

This is,

This is what our crests are all about,

To protect us,

Like our ego crest.

They try to stop us from actually getting near this material.

This deeper kind of insecurity is deeper.

My heart broke,

Actually.

Premasuddha's heart broke at the extent of her chagrin at doing this really tiny argument.

And at the same time,

Premasuddha can sometimes feel like just shaking people,

Like,

You know,

Shaking them against the wall and going,

Listen,

Listen.

So it's like,

You know,

It's just all,

It's all a big comedy.

But the thing is,

You guys are so precious.

So the most important thing is that,

You know,

That no matter how stuck in your ego you feel you are,

Or how blind you feel you are,

Put your arms around yourselves.

Oh,

Please do that,

You guys.

Please,

Please,

Please do that.

It's like,

You know,

You know,

When Premasuddha couldn't get his job babysitting,

It's like,

You know,

There was a couple of things.

Part of it was the hugeness of the love coming through me.

The mothers didn't know what to do with it.

Shirley,

In the interview,

He just didn't know what to do with it.

I could see it's like,

They're going like,

What?

What?

This doesn't compute.

And then part of it too was that Premasuddha was like worried about money.

And I was feeling like self-esteem,

Like,

What the hell?

What the hell happened to my life?

I'm even trying to get a job babysitting.

It's like,

You guys,

But that period lasted like,

Well,

I don't know,

Three weeks,

Four weeks or something.

And then the universe,

Like,

Helped resolve it.

And it just made Premasuddha really compassionate with what it's like sometimes.

Yeah.

And it's not to focus on your frailties.

You know,

Focus on your strengths.

Remind you remind yourself of what heroes you are.

Like,

How brave it is to set off on the journey.

Remind yourself of all the victories you've had,

Of when you really stood for yourself,

Where you really stood for love.

Right.

Give yourself medals of honor.

You know,

Premasuddha says stuff over and over,

And it's so funny.

You know,

People say,

Well,

I heard,

I got it when you said this.

And I may have said it like 200 times,

But we get it when we get it.

And that's the important thing.

It's like any parent knows,

You say the kid stuff 200 times,

And then one day they get it.

It's the same with the journey.

That's it.

Okay,

Good.

Good,

Good.

It's a very human journey.

The mastery is achieved when somebody accepts their humanity.

That's it,

Guys.

When they forgive themselves and forgive the whole human race.

That's it.

That's the step.

And that's when the person does that.

That's when they go,

Oh,

It's all okay,

Really.

And just hearing it,

Like,

You don't have to do it,

Like,

Don't force yourself to do anything.

I'm just giving you a map of the land,

The lay of the land.

This is the land of the journey.

And as you develop,

You will become bigger and bigger in your humanity.

You will accept your humanity and others more and more as the journey goes on.

So,

Especially once you get out of the religiosity that all of us,

I would say,

Well,

I can't say.

But certainly this one got stuck in,

And I see it in you guys.

This religiosity is,

Like,

Bad and good and rules.

Okay,

I'm going to spotlight something from a conversation recently from a really,

Really dear,

Dear,

Sincere,

Beautiful,

Beautiful seeker.

I'm very fond of.

So,

I was talking about,

It was actually email,

And I was saying,

You know,

It's important to be innocent and true and simple,

Because I was feeling she was not coming forward in simplicity.

She was hiding and not being straight with Premasuddha,

And,

You know,

I couldn't find her heart.

So,

I talked about being innocent and true and simple.

She wrote back,

And she said,

Well,

Usually when I,

Before I speak,

I ask Amma for help speaking,

You know,

Like to help me communicate to calling on Amma.

And she said,

She wrote this,

Really.

She said,

And this is how deluded we can get.

She said,

Well,

That patently doesn't work.

So,

I'll try your technique.

Okay,

This is what we could do.

So,

I sent her.

But Amma is true and innocent and simple.

I'm just saying,

Be more like her.

And I was saying,

What I'm saying to do is not a technique.

If you take this material at the level of a technique to practice,

You will have a spiritual journey that goes on for a million years,

You guys.

The reason Premasuddha was focusing with this,

With this really,

Really sincere,

Dear one,

Was because I wanted her to just come from the heart more.

Right.

Now,

One of the things,

And she wrote back earlier in the email thing,

She had said,

Well,

You know,

When I come from the heart,

When I'm innocent and sincere,

And,

You know,

When I do that,

It gets treated really badly.

And I'm like,

Well,

Yeah.

But you see,

The thing is that if you really make it your quest to embody the Creator's energy,

To,

You know,

Live as Amma does,

You do it,

And you take everything that happens to you as your karma to help purify you.

And you allow that.

Right.

You can't just,

Like,

Refuse to live,

Honestly,

You can't refuse to live like these incredible spiritual giants like Amma,

Because,

And say it doesn't work that people like,

But it doesn't work.

It's like,

It's the journey.

You know,

With Premasuddha,

With,

You know,

Coming from,

Like,

What Premasuddha felt was truth and honest and just doing my best,

My blocks were rubbed off.

My misunderstandings were rubbed off.

I mean,

I could point and go,

Oh,

Those people were mean to me,

Or I could go like,

I'm being asked to purify.

Right.

You see,

Her center of gravity is really dear,

Sincere one.

Her center of gravity wasn't in doing her best to embody truth,

And then allowing it to purify her,

Allowing her experience to purify her,

Which is the true journey.

What she was doing was,

Stepping aside,

Oh,

She was doing,

Okay,

Basically manipulation,

Living from manipulation,

Living from,

You know,

I'm going to do this because I want that outcome.

She was,

Her primary focus was not on her own part,

But in,

Like,

Kind of the threat of other people,

How other people like to reduce the threat of others.

This stuff is really subtle,

And please do not push yourselves at all.

Fear sometimes makes us go,

Okay,

I'm going to be open and innocent,

And then we walk into a situation where we promptly get really crushed,

And then we go,

Oh,

It doesn't work,

I get hurt,

It's not possible,

And fear and ego jump up and down in happiness.

This is why the self-awareness,

It gets increasingly important on the journey.

All of you,

I feel,

I kind of feel that you come because you're wanting help bonding with this,

With your beautiful,

Beautiful true nature,

And you're wanting help overcoming,

You know,

All that stops you from doing that.

Particularly this kind of shame,

Okay,

Which is a big trick of the ego.

It is one of the ego's favorite,

Favorite,

Favorite places to play.

You know,

The hardest thing for a student is when you are aware of,

You know,

You're aware of inner darkness,

You're in pain,

But you don't trust the teacher enough to bring it to her and ask for help at an innocent child level.

Or even if you're asking for help,

Maybe it doesn't start off at an innocent child level,

But as you speak with the teacher,

It can happen that you feel like that it's safe,

And the little child in you starts trusting,

And then you get help accessing,

Accessing your soul consciously.

You get help with seeing that this shame is a big mistake.

Like,

None of it is true.

None of it is true,

You guys.

It's premised in his heart.

My heart wants to break right now.

It's like,

You know,

All the reasons you feel bad about yourself,

That you feel ashamed of yourself.

It's like,

They're not,

It does not apply in true reality at all.

And for everything that you do that you're,

Or you feel ashamed about,

There is a very,

Very compassionate explanation.

Okay.

Truly.

Right across the board.

A hundred percent.

Yeah.

May that really,

Really sink in.

You know,

Premasudha once made a very,

A significant mistake in my relationship with Amma.

And,

Oh,

You know,

Because it was significant,

It was kind of hard to get over.

And I remember going for some months with it,

Like an overhang,

Over me,

You know.

And Amma said,

In a talk,

She said,

You know,

Sort of,

Don't take it too hard.

Don't take it so hard.

And I felt like she'd put that in for me.

You know how we do.

We feel bad about her.

And that helped it evaporate.

But on the other side of walking through this difficult period,

Premasudha's love power bumped up enormously.

You see,

To the extent of the mistake came the gift.

Right.

And then I saw that,

You know,

It had to happen that way.

It was,

Everything has already happened anyway.

So,

It was,

Like,

Inevitable that I would do that.

So,

It's not even,

You know,

It was so okay.

Yeah.

But I can feel the guilt is still,

Some of you are still holding on to it as I'm speaking.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's one of the challenges of teaching is being sort of tough enough to shake somebody awake and at the same time to be gentle enough that they trust.

You know,

That they don't,

You know,

With a little kid,

You have to be,

You have to be careful how you are with them.

If you're too tough,

Like,

They can't get it.

It's kind of like being firm and gentle.

But some of you,

There's,

And this is,

Actually,

It's,

It's,

I'm feeling like it's part of what the creator wishes to clear.

Yeah,

I can feel this.

You're a little bit resistant to look at yourselves.

Yeah.

You,

You know,

You think you know all about your frailties,

But what you're not good at is stepping outside the circle of where you play and looking at yourself and looking at yourself like a non-attached observer.

Right.

Right.

I remember once in therapy,

Like,

In my 20s,

This,

Or a channel or something,

She said,

You know your mom very well energetically,

But you don't see her clearly.

So,

I thought I knew my mom,

But it was just a kind of an energetic understanding.

It's like,

I knew what it's been like to live with her.

I knew what it was like to interface with her,

But I didn't see her outlines as a character.

So,

I didn't see this,

That,

You know,

Her dad had beaten her.

So,

She,

Or her dad had beaten her and she could never face it.

So,

This contaminated all of what she said to me.

Do you see?

I was in it with her.

I didn't see this.

Now,

I didn't see the distortion coming from her own personal psychology of what she was saying to me.

Now,

We do the same thing with ourselves.

We find it hard to see how our ego functions.

Because we guys,

We're the good guys,

You know,

We're the angel food cakes,

And we're in the world of devil food cakes,

And we have to protect ourselves.

Really,

This is how many of us live.

And we don't see that we're actually a marble cake.

Everybody else is marble cakes,

You know.

Yeah,

Part of you,

You're,

There's part of an energetic being threatened,

Feeling threatened about this request to open the door to be able to witness yourself,

To stand outside your circle and witness yourself,

See yourself more clearly.

Right.

It's just love,

You guys.

When you can have,

You know,

That when you can start to see yourself outside the circle of who you think you are,

You will be able to witness yourself.

Like they talk about,

You know,

On the journey,

Learning to witness.

And once you're able to witness yourself,

Just that process of accessing that neutrality,

That witness,

Will shrink your ego.

Just as a byproduct.

Because when you can witness yourself,

When you see yourself,

You're not locked in your ego story the same way.

So,

For example,

With my mom,

When I saw that her dad had beaten her and she'd never,

She never could face her fear,

It changed the way I was with her.

It changed the way I took in her information.

The same thing happens with us.

Once we achieve that kind of being able to watch ourselves from outside the circle,

Which really means tapping into our divine nature that is watching us.

It's not an ego construct,

You guys,

About this self-observation.

It is tapping into the ego.

I mean,

Tapping into the soul.

When we do this,

We can see our ego more clearly.

We don't believe our thoughts the same way.

A lot of you are here with Prama Siddha to learn how to witness.

Truly.

Maybe there's a lot of confusion over this.

You know,

The universe will show us very simply.

You'll be shown very simply.

Just hearing this and getting a little confused and going,

What the hell?

That's the process.

That's the process.

I don't want you to stress about it.

But if you're open to see that maybe you're doing some of the things,

Maybe you're doing a bit.

I highlighted this dear one who was talking about the technique of living in truth.

You know,

Like this technique.

In the West,

You guys,

We get taught character development is not enhanced.

It's not considered important.

What's important,

You guys,

In our culture is skill development.

So,

This is why we can miss the heart of a spiritual teaching.

Because we get really focused on doing techniques,

Doing.

I'm wanting to bring in.

I'm wanting to ask for grace because I.

Because we need help here.

It's like.

The point of premise,

Sort of speaking like this is to help.

Dissolve these resistances.

Help dissolve misunderstandings.

Please understand just hearing all this will help.

And notice how you're feeling in the moment.

Whether you feel confused or stressed or your body's hurting.

It was really strong about how much the creator is working with all of you guys to help you learn how to win.

The more,

When you start off on the journey,

It can be quite tumultuous to see our blindnesses and see where we're,

We're deluded.

But as you proceed,

You,

You just get like,

This is the gig here.

We're,

We're here to seal this stuff.

We don't have to take it so personally,

You know.

Everybody's got corruptions.

Yeah.

Right.

Everybody can be more perfected.

I mean,

You know,

I'm on those giants,

They're,

They're avatars,

You know,

It's like.

Her normal human being.

It's just our willingness to see.

Our darkness and our frailties and our willingness to create,

To correct in the moment.

Just in the moment,

You pivot and you correct.

You make a shift.

You know,

Walking down the street,

If you have a negative thought about somebody,

You notice it and correct.

I haven't found her heart the way Pramasutra wishes to.

But I understand it's kind of,

It's like last week and this week,

It's like,

There's like intensity coming up for some of you.

And it,

It just felt like Pramasutra had to speak to it.

Right.

Pramasutra felt honor bound to speak to it.

To help.

So,

You know,

You're not alone.

Please know you're not alone.

Remember over and over again,

You know,

When I'd approach her,

When I,

I was having some difficulty,

Over and over and over again,

She showed me,

She knew what I was going through and was there for me.

Easy,

30 times,

35,

40.

And sometimes,

I was displeased with Pramasutra.

And if she showed displeasure,

Man,

Oh man,

Did Pramasutra just move heaven and earth,

Let me tell you.

To shift.

And,

You know,

Amma says,

You know,

That when she's taking away the ego,

She can't be afraid.

And that,

That is,

You know,

When a teacher's taking away the ego,

They step back from the seeker a bit to do the surgery,

You know.

Unless the,

The seeker is bringing the wound to the teacher,

Like a little child.

And then the teacher will be soft as a blossom.

Yeah.

You see,

Our,

Our big problem is,

Our idea of ourselves is often,

Our idea of ourselves and our idea of reality is often just the ego.

Glasses.

Many of us don't have any experience,

Really,

Of anything beyond that.

And we're desperately hoping that there is something there.

This is kind of the heart of it,

You guys.

This is the heart of what's bothering many of you.

You don't have much experience of what's beyond it.

You're scared to let it go.

And this is where it becomes the hero's journey.

Because the hero,

You see,

You have to let it go in order to find out that there's something beyond it.

If you stay in the confines of the ego,

You'll never,

How could you tap into the divine?

It will just become a theoretical thing.

I know a woman who went to church for 50 years,

And,

You know,

On her deathbed,

She lost her faith.

So,

What good is that?

What good is that kind of journey,

Where you stay in the soft,

Safe confines?

And then lose faith on your deathbed,

When you actually have to tap into what's beyond here.

Please don't push yourselves around at all.

Just hearing the words,

Hearing this,

Getting the energetic ID that comes through satsang week after week after week.

Really,

And then you'll say to me,

Oh,

Well,

I really heard when you said that.

And I went,

Yeah,

Right.

You're very much saying it for 250 times.

But I get it.

This is what we're like.

Amma said stuff to me 250 times.

You know,

When she started talking about how the whole universe dissolves at night time.

And we go back to our true natures.

I heard that,

I think,

For a year,

Before it dawned on me that she was really talking to Premasuddha,

Or that this knowledge applied to Premasuddha at all.

So,

I got like a penny drop,

Like the Premasuddha's universe dissolved.

You know,

Before,

I just heard it intellectually,

Theoretically.

So,

This is what the journey's like,

You know.

We listen,

We listen,

And then the penny drops,

And we realize,

Oh,

And we start developing,

You know,

The more the penny drops,

We develop more and more of a felt relationship with the creator,

With the truth within us.

And as a byproduct,

We'll trust the teacher.

There's one lovely guy who has been surrounded by a box energetically,

Almost like a coffin for most of his life.

And it's begun to loosen and melt.

Just,

You know,

Like a sponge,

Soaking it up.

Week after week,

And then these things happen,

Stuff loosens within us.

And he's got some physical results,

You know,

He can take deep breaths now.

And it's very metaphorical,

It's like,

You know,

The coffin that comes with our conditioning,

And we stop breathing deeply,

Often,

You guys.

And when we're doing shallow breaths,

We can't trust,

And we're doing shallow breaths,

Because we don't trust,

Because as a little kid,

We went,

Wow,

It's weird here.

He's taking deeper breaths,

And Pramasutra feels like that she can get through more.

I used to always be felt like I was being deflected by this energetic coffin.

Right.

You know,

Pramasutra's taken to writing poetry.

This is my,

Like,

I thought to myself,

Well,

If it's kind of hard,

Maybe,

To get what I'm talking about,

I'm going to write poetry that's just so clear.

You can just pick it up,

And read it,

And get it.

Clearly,

This is my dream.

You know,

If you ever read Hafez,

Particularly,

I love Hafez,

Or Rumi,

Their poetry,

It's,

Hafez is particularly,

Hafez is like a spiritual university.

You read his poetry,

You will trust more.

You will.

You will.

If you allow it.

If you allow it.

Yeah.

Right.

And sometimes during my darker periods,

Or like,

You know,

I didn't have access to Amma and stuff,

I would pick up his book of poetry.

Right.

He wrote one about the sun and moon love each other so much that nobody's measuring the love.

Nobody's saying,

Well,

Oh,

Well,

I gave you daytime,

Then you give me nighttime.

You know,

Like,

Nobody's measuring.

They just love each other with his exuberance,

You know.

And he wrote like a little child,

Like a three-year-old.

The heart development of a three-year-old.

And it's why his poetry,

I just find it ecstatic.

And he had,

You know,

His life wasn't easy.

But this was his gift.

There's another one he wrote about,

You know,

Life is like going to a nightclub and you check your coat with the hat check girl and she doesn't give it back.

Meaning that it hurts when you,

You know,

When you give up your ego and you give up your coat.

And on the journey,

You give it up and you don't get it back.

And it hurts.

It hurts for a bit.

But then you expand into that you're a divine being and it could matter at all.

You don't need this old coat that's full of old complexes from a million years on the planet.

You know,

Sometimes Prima Cita feels like she's had a million years on the planet.

The complexes would feel so deep and thick that I'd be like,

I think I've been making this mistake for a million years.

But,

You know,

All this grace.

It's invincible.

You turn to your creator.

It's invincible.

The help is invincible.

That's it.

That's it.

That's it.

That's it.

Good.

Good.

Breakthrough time.

Right.

It's invincible.

See,

As little kids,

We felt the darkness was invincible because we started off in the light.

And as the conditioning came on,

We got more and more discouraged.

Now,

The reverse happens.

The reverse happens.

You realize more and more and more that the truth.

Ama.

Unconditional love is invincible.

And the ego is like this stupid tin pot dictator.

And,

You know,

When populations stop listening to the dictator,

He loses power.

It's the only thing that stops it,

Basically.

You know,

When,

When,

When,

Like,

The whole population goes,

Finish.

This is what we do internally with the ego games.

You stop siding with them.

You stop believing them.

You don't argue with them.

But,

You know,

It's nonsense.

And remember,

The best students are the ones who feel most aware of their frailties.

Yeah.

And then the next step is being aware of your frailties,

But then having compassion for yourself.

And then that creates compassion for everybody.

And don't expect too much from others.

Expect a lot from yourself and your connection to the creator within,

To Ama within.

That's where you put your expectations.

Not on others.

People come and they go.

Your relationship with the creator is the one permanent thing.

It cannot be taken from you.

And your relationship with the creator is just you realizing that you're the creator.

It's,

You know,

It's a comedy.

It's like,

You know,

Being going through a house of horrors and then coming out the other side and you go,

Wow,

That was just a big game,

You know.

During it,

I got scared,

But it was just,

Just a game.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Right.

Right.

And genuflect to the love within you.

Give it the right of way.

Okay.

Lots of people think they're,

I've seen this often in seekers.

They,

They think they're,

They're,

You know,

Sincere,

But what they do is they don't give love the right of way.

They don't follow their guidance.

Yeah.

Because they feel too unsafe to do that.

But,

You know,

If you don't follow it,

Then you never get the proof that it works.

And sometimes,

You know,

We follow guidance and we,

We,

It looks like a mistake,

But it was just the next step.

Wasn't a mistake at all.

Or we had to make that mistake in order to get to another understanding.

Yeah.

You guys,

You know,

I feel like you're beginning to get OD'd with Pemasuda's sonic drill,

You know,

That's what my boys would say,

You know,

Mom,

You're sonic drilling us.

Are there any questions or comments before,

But please take,

Come forward if you need to.

My prayer for you for this week is that you feel grace more than you ever have.

And may you feel treasured,

Beloved,

Held,

Even if it's just for a few minutes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And may you sing your heart song.

It's life.

My beloveds.

So,

Next weekend,

No satsang,

But the following week,

We'll begin again,

Saturday and Sunday.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you,

You guys.

Blessing,

Blessing,

Blessing.
