Whatever is appearing right now, in the outer world, you are the witness of it. I witness the world. The world does not witness me. Wherever it is not clear, it is not resonating what I am saying then stop over there and tell this is not. This body is appearing here, it is felt here. I am the witness of this body. This body is not the witness of me.
Whatever the mind might be saying, whatever thoughts are coming, I am the witness of these. Thought does not witness me. Whatever sensations, emotions are appearing, I witness them. They cannot witness me. The sense that ‘I exist. I am.’ I witness this. Even this does not witness me.
This ‘I’…, untouched by any of these appearances, just this witnessing itself, I cannot separate from. It is what I am. I have no color or shape or form. I am not changing with time. I cannot be bound by space. This witnessing, unconcerned, untouched, unmoving, which doesn’t come and go; all Maya comes and goes, all appearances come and go…, This ‘I’ I have always been.
And this I see now. And yet these thoughts continue. And because it has been my habit to believe these thoughts to be me; that’s why some of them still get some belief. But the truth is I am the immortal, invincible One. It can never be that I am just this bundle of flesh and blood. This is all our direct experience, right now. But it can never be a mental understanding.
And as my Being continues to dis-associate from these ideas which are personal, you will find that all love, all peace, all joy is in your service. It is not possible to feel a sense of lack. Contentment is at your feet. Just the power of this ‘Not believing the next thought’…, to remain as uncontaminated Presence. And to trust the Satguru in your own Heart, will give you the ability to recognize the Love which is impersonal, which is pure.

It is enough to not fall for the delusion of personhood; this much is enough. The insights about the truth will reveal themselves on their own. Nothing needs to be done. Just enough to check that ‘I am not this person which I am claiming to be.’ And to trust that the One that runs this entire universe is also taking care of my life.
This is a timeless gift that we are giving to each other, long after these bodies have come and gone. So, when we check ‘Who am I?’ to see that ‘I am not this ego, I am not the person.’ and to see that I am This, to see this knowing which is aware of all appearances. This is what I have been. This is what I always will be. And may this bring all peace. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti.
