Let Go of All Ideas - 23rd October 2020

Now, I was saying the other day that if we think that a conclusion is going to be the end of our confusion, then that's a mistaken conclusion. We may come to Satsang hoping to get some answers; in fact, we may be waiting expectantly for some words of wisdom which could be the ultimate answer. But the truth is not like that. It is the end of this seeking. The end of the seeking is the resting in your own beingness, in your own Self. Your Self does not need an answer; it is way beyond these notions of problems and solutions, questions and answers.

So, saying that if we go from confusion to conclusion, you see, that same conclusion is going to be the new confusion. Therefore, to remain in the unborn, to remain in openness and emptiness, is to allow yourself to not rest on a mental concept. Let go of all ideas. The non-conceptual answer is the answer. What is the non-conceptual answer? He played this beautiful Kabir Ji song just now. He said, 'How do I go to my parents' home? I'm learning to go to my parents' home. How do I go to my Father's home?' Let's see. Where there is no sound, there is no sight, nothing can be perceived, nothing comes and goes there, and yet I am yearning to go there. How do I go?

So, you cannot go the way you think. You cannot go the way we think. We can only go by discovering where we are already. You discover that you have never left the destination. In fact, you can never leave the truth. So, the first step: we can stop the intellectual. Whatever notion you may have about the truth does not come close to the truth. The truth that my Father showed me is indescribable. So, if it's indescribable, how can i share it with you? I can only hope that His grace makes it happen for everyone here. But I do know what can seem to get in the way, and that is your pride—your idea that you can come to some answer, that you can achieve this thing that we call enlightenment. So, stripped away from that arrogance to come to the nakedness of emptiness.
