It Has to Be Your Own Insight - 24th January 2018

If you want to throw away everything that you think and everything that I say, what is the insight that you're having about yourself? And I'm proposing to you that what I'm sharing in Satsang resonates with that very thing you do. But you have to tell me that, "No, you know, when I check really about what I am and where I am, what you're saying, it does not resonate with that, and what I'm thinking actually resonates more with that." And if you see that, then of course, then I would not say, "Oh, don't, don't do it." Yes, with what the mind is saying, I am just opposing that. Let's for a moment presume that what the mind is saying about you is not the truth about you. See, leave it upon your own investigation to find that the words are somehow true or the mind is a mystery.

So first you see this for yourself, and then when you see this for yourself, then you'll find that how should I be with someone who's undergoing all of this pain and not above? Well, that you have to solve anyway because in the light of the resistance, automatically there what flows, flows. So, what matches more your insight about yourself? Is it what you're thinking matches more, or it is what you are hearing in Satsang matches more? So that is where it is important because we have to have our own discovery. As long as this world of Satsang stays as pointers, they can just be clues for your exploration. But if it just becomes about two different types of concepts that you have to deal with—only the concept that, "Oh, I mean, this is trouble, I'm in trouble," and there's another concept that says, "No, you're doing great"—so I know that the habit and the natural way in this world is to become prone to this voice in some way, which is saying, "Yes, examine yourself whether it is true."

Don't take my word for it. Don't just believe, but just be open enough to check for yourself. And if at some point there is a disconnect, then I'm very happy to address that. The mind is saying that you are limited, and this sounds like a very convenient escapism or something like that, and I know the mind will say so. I am not inviting you to escape from reality; I'm actually inviting you to look at it without any glasses at all. Look at you. This will go. You look at what comes in life, which situation is there, which environment you're in—whether you are in a war zone or you're in nice waves. If you learn to live around your own insight, then you can't be dissociated. Somebody said, "Don't see," and then someone comes and says, "You can't see it, you have to just take my word for it." Save yourself this misery. It must be verified through your own inner insight. What do I mean? Share another one. It's just words you see.
