Become Defenseless, Become Notionless - 4th June 2018

So, you're done with the world, done with the body, then with this mind, with everything. So, where is God to be found? What is left for you to do? At some point, we have to stop playing this game because God is not to be found in many of these years of our existence. We are not finding Satguru or God. But is there something left? Is there some place left which we haven't looked yet? In this exercise, we looked at the world, the body parts, the intellect. You and many, many bodies, meaning the world, having many problems of experience. We have experienced many states, we have experienced, but not contained in any of the experiences is the unchanging, the timeless one.

Now, we have to look in another direction. We have to look in another direction. Look in yourself. Who's there at the source of this perceiving itself? As you start looking in this field, you come to this point where you recognize this beautiful being, the very presence which I'm not saying 'I am.' 'I am' is a representation for its very existence. That is why I have an eye towards our target. Yes, I can show you far, but you have to try and stop me. And in a moment, you can have this revelation that this that is, this that is, is not a person, is not an entity, is not involved in time and space. It is the very light, the light of consciousness from which then all these appearances like waves come and play and recede back into your very being. This radiance is that which you have been searching for, because your Atma has remained unborn and undying.

And this is why the sages have said that we looked and we looked everywhere, but within ourselves we have not looked. We went some place to play this Satsang to Satsang, but where is this God to be found? When you start looking within and you find this consciousness which you can never lose. And don't have this misunderstanding that when you're looking, you're looking inside your body. If you look inside the physical body, you won't find anything but flesh and blood. You have the capacity to look within yourself, which is much beyond this body. The body is just another appearance which will come and go. You look within yourself. Mind and intellect completely submerge in this being. There's nothing left to understand now, nothing left to resolve, nothing to fix. Yet there is no aversion to the activities of the world. This body and the world can continue. As my Master said, leave this existence to the existence of all of this. True existence itself. Nothing was ever lost, nothing is being found. All these notions now serve no purpose. All egotism, selfishness, that's all. Everything is taken care of. I am not really distressed here in your unlimited being. Nothing is missing, always done.

Some of you will have to think, you have to decide that 'I am aware even of this being.' That this awareness who knows 'I am'—that you live in the coming and going of the waking state, but in this awareness, as you see yourself without politics, without the patterns of perception, there is no world. Only the culture... until he said of changing images, only material can hurt you in touch. Because there's the point of looking within that creates great confusion. What is the reference? You didn't hand it out; it's kept aside. East, West... yes, I was saying look in the direction north where the looking itself is coming from. And this might cause some confusion. This is admitted. In fact, it might even cause frustration because it is not something that the mind can do. The mind cannot have a concept of this. You cannot have a meaning for this. Yet, if it is followed with the innocence of a child, not trying to fathom it, not trying to even follow it, go to the source of your very perception. Go to the essence of your existence.

These words are doing the work for you. You don't have to apply them; they are already atomic in nature. That is, looking: where does existence arise? What were you before you woke up this morning? Your very being knows. The frustrations that come, they must also come and leave themselves. Because as you grew up on this search in a phenomenal way, the idea of the unchanging being found as a phenomenal object—there is bound to be a lot of resistance from the person, meaning doubting that. Okay, we can make a deal and stop looking for the Truth in phenomenal objects. I will observe its spontaneous solution, meaning the true Self. Now, that which will come and go in everything that comes and goes, don't expect to find anything. The rest of it I will do. You like that? Are you big enough now? Enough.

The idea of 'me,' the idea of 'mine,' the idea of 'world,' 'body,' 'mind'—all that is phenomenal. Don't make any distinctions about anything at all. I will remove the distinction. Let me not be available to time, space, objects, and past. Just in case it's feeling like, or something like you have lots of homework to do, know that in this moment all of this is done. This was all that is needed. You are the presence of your own existence, your own being, which is the most similar to the only one. All the manifestations are just a manifestation of your own being.

My mind might come and say, 'So now what?' Then remember we said we were going to forget about all the phenomenal, and time is also phenomenal. Forget about 'now.' You are just the patient withdrawal symptoms on the day that you have. 'I need to know, I need to project into the future, I need to understand how my life will go.' If you allow this addiction to pass through you, you will come to a deeper Truth, not limited by the rules of time and space, the laws of physics, what can be and what cannot be. Very importantly, throw away your ideas of self-righteousness, because all our selfishness actually is hidden behind these ideas of self-righteousness. What do you feel you're right about? Forget about it, because it has nothing to do with the real you. This is all part of the movie character. We use these ideas to then color this movie character because the ego, the person, will be afraid to live naked for some time without these concepts. They have not shielded you from anything. They do. Become defenseless, become notionless.

I'll give you a money-back guarantee. You remain defenseless for a week, and if it doesn't work out for you, I guarantee you I will give all your next lifetime a refund if you want. This is making light of the effect field. What will happen to most of us is that some notions will still come, they will get belief, we will identify, and then we will recognize that even this is causing nothing but misery or suffering. We were to be there. Shall we play these games? Something is getting in bind with you. But these ideas that have died from our time are not in service to my liberty, from far less selfishness to biggest selfishness.

Beloved Father, at times it seems that during negotiations for my business, it seems like all of this is coming from a space where there is no conflict. It could seem to the other party that you're being unreasonable, but that is not the case. Please work as per your liking.

Yeah, so it's important, very good you brought this up, that I am not talking about the activities of the body—which words you might be speaking or what actions are coming. I'm speaking of the neutrality of your inner space. Because if you remain neutral in there, then you will find that there is no reason to take a position, because whatever has to unfold from this body will unfold anyway. If you find that there is something quote-unquote 'wrong' in this phenomenal world, then the body might respond to it from its own nature. Just like how does the body fight infection? Some germs attacking the body, the body acts. How? What you call antibodies. And suppose you had this idea that you had to do all of that? No, antibodies, the immune system, are something that you observe. So-called dynamics in this world, this movie, automatically play in the flow.

Or you'll find out, in fact, what might happen—but you don't have to predict this—what might happen to some of you is that as you come to this place of neutrality, you might find your mouth saying things which are stronger than this. Something becomes more bold, or some might become just completely quiet. I'm not trying to have this phenomenal world, so I'm not predicting or trying to give you approaches to how to live the life of this body. I'm saying let it be lived by this holy presence which is already there before you pick up the idea that there is somebody here that can do individually, that can do any actions. So, all that you can even seemingly do is let go of any individualistic notions about yourself. To defenselessness or dropping self-righteousness is an attitude. There is great value in that. That's why I'm giving the money-back guarantee.

This is whatever, just answer them. You know, in activity there may be neutrality. So, this is what all of us know, that we can smell it. You can just smell it where something is coming from. You can even sense, we can smell and see what is at the root of all of this and find just spaciousness, openness there. More bold. But if you find the sense of 'Oh, I am right while this one is wrong,' then I can tell you there is no such thing. Psychology says nothing in the world has inherent meaning. Nothing in the world has inherent meaning by itself; it is what we choose to put on it, impose upon it. There is nothing inherently good or bad, right or wrong. Even left or right, up or down, is that meaning that we have given to the world. All these things I just started to need to put it to the reference point about ourselves.

Then some of these movies are funny. Americans make these kind of movies, where they switch bodies, when the father becomes the son, when the son becomes the father, and suddenly they are able to understand one another and they hang out. They give a better understanding because the reference point changes and you suddenly go, 'Oh, this was a switch.' So, but it also says sometimes that you look through as if you're looking from the other person's perspective. What do you find there? All these are just tips and tricks to see whether you're coming from a place of business or whether you meet me at that point that I have this one also. Don't know what you're going to do. Don't know what you're going to do because you're totally done.

So, what it means is that don't pretend to know what you're going to do. Don't actually do anything at all. Be empty of all of this. We are outwardly in the midst of business negotiation. The very same intelligence which is making this world, the very same intelligence that has come up with all of this light, sound, gravity, memory, disease—all of these forces are here. By varying the winds like this, or analyzing molecules, you do this. But all distinction happens in the play of this world. Whatever happened in the movie is what happened in the movie. Thank you so much for being centered.
