Not ‘I Am Something' But Simply 'I Am' - 22nd February 2018

Now, what happens if you make a distinction? This basic distinction leads to duality. Distinction implies that there is one that is separate from another. Very quickly, it implies that there is a 'me' and there is an 'other'. Just on one distinction, 'me', that is all of duality. The entirety of duality is resting on this mental distinction. We leave the non-duality and you start to consider yourself a tiny object. If you consider yourself a tiny object, then you feel like, 'Oh, I can get bigger if I add another object.' I feel bigger if I add another object. That particular object, it could be a material thing, it could be another person. So we want to have relationships, we want to have worldly success, because immediately something feels like this is too small. You consider yourself to be something so tiny, and something is fighting with that. Suffering is coming because of that, because all there is is Brahman, and you consider yourself to be something so small. Something wants more, but it operates in this presumption of individuality.

So you feel that 'I can get bigger' with the best relationship, the best material things, the best body. And we try that. It's alright for some time. Desire is fulfilled. So this is desire. When you picked up a distinction, the entire tree of duality, it led to desire. And then you picked up the 'doership'. You say, 'This is what I desire, the perfect partner. Okay, I do now, so that he will be mine, she will be mine.' Expanding our scope. So 'mine' is expanding the scope of the 'me' to make the 'me' bigger. Say 'mine, mine'. So what should I do to make power fulfill all these desires? The desire could even be freedom. 'What should I do?' is the assumption. I since tall because we made one distinction: me and the world.

If you don't pick this distinction, all this 3D harmony... and actually, dropping is not true, is it? It is just a question of not picking up the offer from the mind, or even dropping because it has been here. Everything that had to be dropped is already dropped. Only the offer of conceptual dust is coming. One bag, one liter... how much? The unlimited supply is unlimited. It is available to you. Your heart longs for something for the 'me', by time, scope of us feeling like we'll get something from it. But if your heart longs for God, now God is here. Your Atma is here. I don't want a God which comes and goes. I don't know about you, why you would want a God that is coming and going. If there is a real God, then He must be here now.

Either everything we are saying is rubbish, all of this which is mumbo jumbo, brainwashing... or either it is there, or in our living experience right now we can get a taste of God. Now, God is an abstract term and has been used for many things. Many people have lots of conditioning also around it. So a simpler way to see it is 'I am'. Three letters of the same: I am. But I am not 'something'. That 'something' is always conceptual. I am without labels, without distinction, without boundaries, without limitations. All these limitations belong to 'something' which I have never been.
