I love you too much to treat you as a person.
If you are a person this world will seem full of persons. When you are the being you will not feel bound. You will know every being, look in the eyes of every being, and you know, you will recognize yourself. These things are not poetry. They are simple truths. You will experience them. In your heart they will be confirmed.
"I" is the password to log on to this world. Don't trust the software of the mind. All its files are corrupt, every thought a potential virus.
Everything you see, comes to pass.
Know that you are not that.
All things that are heard, come to pass.
Know that you are not that.
All things that are touched, come to pass.
Know that you are not that.
All things that are tasted, come to pass,
Know you are not that.
All things that are thought of, come to pass,
Know that you are not that.
All things, which are imagined, come to pass.
Know that you are not that.
All things that are learned, come to pass,
Know you are not that.
All that is manifest comes to pass,
Know you are not that.
All things of the mind come to pass,
Know that you are not that.
That which does not come to pass, but inside which all phenomena come to pass, know That - to be yourSelf.

Explode.
Become a volcano of joy.
Become so full of joy
that you cannot walk.
Joy is just another name
for the Self.

The greatest step towards a life of happiness and simplicity is to let go. Trust in the power that is already taking care of you spontaneously without effort.
When you are curious, you learn. When you are desperate, you discover.
Be as though you don't exist.
Let the bodily functions unfold, let thoughts come and go but don’t follow them. Be only the awareness.
Something is unplugged, but you are still fully here. Senses are functioning normally. This was never the trouble.
The mind rises up as resistances and doubts but they are mere thoughts.
Mind in its psychological aspect can come full power, but you are not to be a traffic policeman inside your own head.
Can the mind pull Awareness out of itself and turn into a person? Can it do that?
With some rare beings it will not have this power. Why?
Because they remain rooted in and as awareness and so don’t exchange their stillness for panic.
And it is not something you can practice to do; it all happens spontaneously through understanding your true nature and by being one with that.
Here you cannot pretend to be free and get away with it, so don’t try.
Forget about it. If you insist in hiding behind the shallow façade of personality I would rather be at home watching Tv, than staying here trying to change your thinking, because it’s not going to work. There must be a deep openness or yearning for truth.
Strive to understand your true nature, your highest position.
You are the silence, the unchanging ground of all appearances.
When you come to realize this, all this chaos is going to come to an end.

I want us to move into this joy together, but you are still hesitating.
We have a date and I am inside the restaurant waiting, but you are outside looking in.
It's a blind date and you are there checking me out.
I ask what you will be wearing?
You say: No, I’ll find you.
You feel there is a risk.
It's true that some are not up for such a radical seeing.
They say: I am more comfortable with 10 steps to find it.
Nevertheless you are here and if you are listening even with a little bit of guard, its ok, but as much light as you allow to come in or come up, be present in the heart of that light
and you will be informed inside your being if this is a true invitation or not.

It is not your real being that is restless, but its reflection in the mind appears restless because the mind is restless. It is just like the reflection of the moon in the water stirred by the wind. The wind of desire stirs the mind and the ‘me’, which is but a reflection of the Self in the mind, appears changeful. But these ideas of movement, of restlessness, of pleasure and pain are all in the mind. The Self stands beyond the mind, aware, but unconcerned.
When you realize the Truth, your mind will become like a desert.
It will become like a dessert actually.
You will ENJOY your mind.
Rather than suffering your mind, you will be enjoying our mind.
You can not help enjoying, because joy is the nature of the Self -yourSelf - same thing.

You can not help enjoying, because joy is the nature of the Self -yourSelf - same thing.
The more you aspire for illusions, the more you become deluded and the more pain there will be, until you exhaust your desires, or more accurately, they exhaust you. And from that depleted state perhaps the urge for freedom is born. It is a state of Grace – the birth pains to a deeper Life.
Even after realising the Self, don't be surprised if your mind sends thoughts like: ' Now, you are boring!' or ‘You are always going to be alone,’ or, ‘It cannot be this simple,’ whatever might catch your attention, it will try.
In fact, it will keep sending little messages to see which key works to break your resolve so that you return to the old false identity; such is the game of existence.
The fire of the mind may go out, but its smoke lingers on awhile.
Don't panic, at a certain point you may even see the humor in it.
Simply, remain as the unchanging, imageless Self you are.

Be aware now of that effortless silence and space.
You don’t know if it is inside or outside.
There is no edge, no boundary for your being.
Confirm that.
In this instant, in this moment,
observe that your being is not in a state of waiting.
The pure Self is not an event. If there is an event,
it is the event of recognizing this ever-present fact.
That already IS.
Do not purchase the futuristic promises from the mind.
Once you have said 'Yes' inside your heart,
the whole universe supports your seeing,
because it is natural.
Don't try strenuously to figure things out.
Pay attention instead only to that space - like being,
which is beyond time and change,
but in who's presence such phenomena are perceived.
Devote as much attention to staying conscious of the Self until it becomes effortless for you.
Om.

I would not encourage anybody to try to study life, because you can never get it. No one can even begin to comprehend a moment of its magnificence, its mystery, its sheer glory.
You have to fall fully in Love with the very heart of existence and then its essence is miraculously revealed to you somehow – a kind of an intuitive knowing happens out of this love.
But to study life doesn’t work, because your attitude and even you, the student, is phenomenal.
You have to first fall inside yourself until there is no longer ‘you’ and ‘life’—there is only Life. There is no ‘person’ living life. There is just Life expressing itself in, as and through this form called a person, watched simultaneously in pure consciousness.
How funny that the simplest of teachings seems to be the most difficult. This is like a circus of concepts. We fight, creating devils out of nowhere, in order to defend our identity—sheer ignorance.
Now I’ve said it and now I want to see it alive in you. I want to see it germinate inside your heart. It must flower, bear fruit and give shade. That’s it.

You say the mind is blocking the Self.
Can the mind block the Self?
What watches blocked mind?
Is there anything that the mind is blocking that you need to see?
You are always reporting about what you are looking at, but the important things is: Where are you looking from?
And who are you looking as?
This is your moment to look From This as This itself.
The great Saint Frances of Assisi said:
What we are looking for is where we are looking from.
Rumi also said: I was knocking at a door. It opens.
I was knocking from inside.
I am not here giving you 10 steps to follow.
I am pointing you to the stepless truth.
You must discover THAT inside yourself.
I point you to That, where you can never not be.
Something has brought you to this.
Here is your opportunity, an invitation to jump into in the ocean of your own being, which is here and now—your very Self.
Your part, our part from my view is to say inside your heart:
Yes, take me!
Yes, replace me with You. Merge my mind in You.
And this ‘You’ is who?
The Satguru within your own Self.
It is not a person. It is not an object.
Then you will know that this is your mighty existence!

You say you have been having the sense that you are disappearing into space.
When the ‘I’ merges or disappears in that space that you speak about, who are you?
Do you feel any break in your being?
Is there any jerk in experience, like suddenly there is a sense that you have become something else, or is it that you simply stopped becoming? You understand?
When there is no ‘I’, ‘me’, the doer of actions or thinker of thoughts, did you suddenly become the Absolute or isn't it that the ‘I’ as a seemingly tangible entity could no longer be found?
As you come again into your natural state, you will see:I was never the idea I had of who I am. I have always been This. And a joy is there.
It is the most natural and beautiful discovery and you know:I didn’t ‘become’ this, I have always been This.

I can be neither lost nor found, for I am the absolute unchanging Awareness. I grant myself the joy of self-discovery through my instrument and servant, the body-mind. There is no 'other' than my own self to find me. I am the all-encompassing Reality.
The restless mind does not take easily to self-investigation and quickly runs after familiar distractions. In many cases, it must first be reined in or pacified through the practice of japa, prayer, yoga or association with wise and holy company. Only then will it gradually develop the strength and attraction to enquire into its root nature. Gradually, this will result in the weakening of the tendency to rush outward. Eventually, the mind will sink inside the Shiva Being.
You must have enough of yourself in order to disappear and become the Being.
All of this is so incredibly simple. We learnt that whatever happens in our mind somehow is blocking you from going somewhere. I am saying that Awareness, the goal of all enquiry, cannot be on the other side of working through any process, because Awareness is that within which even the attempt to work through to get to something arises and is perceived.
If you hold on to being a person, you will not be free.
People are doing this all over the world.
They are going to spiritual gatherings and they are asking questions they believe are spiritual questions, but if they retain identity as a person, whatever answers they get, will not propel them beyond personhood into the clarity of being.
This is why I say, I give you only five minutes to evaluate the outcome of ‘your’ version of doing things so far and to jump out of the claustrophobia of personhood into real freedom.
Five, now three minutes, ample time to say ‘yes-take me home’ and thus re-enter your original being.
What holds you back?

What holds you back?
Give up the idea of a journey to Truth, and truth is instantly revealed. Give up this idea that you are near, this concept will take you to another birth, it is itself avoidance. And this silly 'I still don't get it', don't pay any attention to this serpent's voice. Keep quiet. Let's see if you are fit just to remain quiet. Your malignant relationship with mind as master is over. The mind can be used for normal service, but can never help you to be who you are. No heady philosophy is required to know your Self.
There's no one 'being aware', there's only awareness.
The mind can only attack you with some ideas about yourself that you have not said goodbye to yet.
Sometimes God challenges you
to find strength you don't have.
Only like this will you go beyond your imagined limits.
You must be pushed so far that you are forced to be humble.
Only then,
when your pride and arrogance are crushed,
will you discover muscles that are not yours.
You will find and use the muscles of God.
When you completely abandon yourself,
your ego,
this miracle
becomes possible.
