Meet Everything With As Much Spaciousness As Possible - 14th February 2018

This is a pretty experimental water. I was trying to see what that thing is, that as we come to Satsang, we're learning how to meet everything in life with as much spaciousness as possible. I don't want to say meet it completely as space, because that also becomes an expectation, a resistance. As much spaciousness as possible. So there will be some events which are appearing in front of us and it can seem like when they are happening, all our attention is sucked into them. But it is never true that you are contained in any event, but it can seem like it. As we are not believing our interpretation about them, as we are not buying what the mind is saying about that, you see that naturally more spaciousness will come. Naturally you will find the spaciousness which is already there, actually.

Same thing with thoughts. If we meet them as space... then we meet them as somebody who wants, and we meet them, we meet them as if we need them, and that's why they seem to cause some trouble. What if you were to meet everything as space? And spaciousness is one of the primary attributes of consciousness because it is so unlimited. It is not really that which contains all things. So this big space, unlimited sense of beingness, is what you naturally are in this moment. And when the mind comes and says, 'But, but me, but me,' just allow it to come and go in your own space. 'But this can't be it'—allow it to come and go in your spaciousness. 'But this doesn't help anything'—allow it to come and go. 'Have I got it?'—allow it to come and go.

Because we can hear about positionlessness every day. It's still there. Sound is still there. Allow it. We speak about positionlessness, we hear about positionlessness, and positional muscle atrophy. This full spaciousness. And I say motionless existence. They're talking about this both, spaciousness. And you all know this by now, at least the concept, because in the last so many weeks, at least once I talk about this. And yet you're noticing the habit to take on position, the habit to take on position in spite of hearing about positionlessness, motionless. And this is why we have Satsang every day, because I know that this habit has been nurtured, nourished by consciousness itself for a long time in the play.

And that is why Guruji says that Satsang is... we have, oh God, my God, consciousness itself is playing this game. Consciousness itself is identifying as the limited one. Consciousness itself is becoming the aspect of the form of the Master and reminding itself that it is not limited, and that nothing has ever happened to the you to which anything has ever happened. It's not the real you. All appearances, they belong to nobody. And as long as we continue to make portraits of this 'me' in the mind, add on special qualities to this 'me'—'Oh, this thing is not the doer,' 'This me is like this,' 'This me is like that'—it is still a fallacy. There is no 'me' like this. There is no individual 'I'.

So if what is happening in Satsang is that you're getting a few little special things to add to the 'me,' if that is what is happening, then better we start fresh. I am saying that there is no landing place for any of this. There is no landing spot. This is just appearances moving in space. The landing spot, the justability where it lands—'me,' where it lands 'I am this way,' 'I am that way'—is just a motion. It is the concept. If there is no such entity there, it is just presumed. The mind will point to the circumstantial evidence and say, 'Oh, this body, this body is me. Is this not me?' And then you ask, so uncle asked, 'My problems, how many were related to the body?' Funny, what? He doesn't care about the relationship. It is another health of the body. Body itself is not concerned with it.
