Let's Try to Lose Ourself Instead of Trying to Find Ourself - 16th October 2020

Now, so for a minute, all of us, let's try to lose ourselves instead of trying to find ourselves. Just come to a state where you are not even that which is aware that I am, or I am not. Even that one is not. Let's lose that one. Yeah, let's do it. We'll do this even if it sounds silly or childish or absurd. Let's have some trust and do this. Yeah. So try really hard. Lose yourself. Like, don't be yourself. Don't be.

Okay, who's succeeding? Don't feel shy. Anyone succeeding in losing yourself? You see? So, what are we looking for again? That which we cannot lose. But come on, let's have a 'but'. Let's hear somebody saying—I'm muting everyone—but say, 'I'm missing what you're saying. I can't feel myself.'

I can't feel what I said. See, this 'but'...

And when put in the light of questioning like this, you yourself are realizing the absurdity of the 'but', isn't it? Because all of you that came up and tried to say something, you were laughing more than saying. So you realize that the objection from the mind, especially when looked at in the light of Satsang, in the presence of the Sangha, then that seemed to be quite absurd, isn't it?

But when it is done in the dark of the mind, sitting alone, you see, and it says, 'But is that it? Am I not just faking it?' All these kind of objections, when they come in that way, when you don't expose it in your own light, then it can seem like a real problem, you see. But in one way or the other, the objection is linked to: what is the benefit of this? Okay, simple. I can't lose myself. I tried. I tried. I am still here. No matter how much I tried, you see, I'm still here.
