Satsang Metaphors : YO! Sushi. Don't Pick The Next Dish.

Right now you are just... I am. Existence is uncolored, but you also have the power to pick up this notion, this concept about yourself: 'I am something.' So if you allow this to just... all notions to come and go. Some of you have not heard online also, I see some more people are here, some of you have not heard this example from me. There's this restaurant called YO! Sushi. So if you've seen it, this restaurant YO! Sushi, they have all these dishes that come one after the other on a conveyor belt. So you are sitting at your table and there's a conveyor belt running next to you and all these dishes are color-coded.

So these offerings are coming. The mind is offering these notions. Being is here. You will be saying, 'I want to pick up this and taste it' for the play of individuality. Now we are done with the stuffing ourselves with notions. Then we get education, relationship, money, security—all of these dishes that offer offerings from the mind. All of them come with the offer that you are something. Nothing wants to feed consciousness. Consciousness is already always. So what to do? As these dishes are coming and going, just don't pick them up. If you pick them up, what to do? Nothing. Don't pick up the next one. If you pick that up, don't pick up the next one.

Because what can happen is that many times when we do pick up a notion about ourselves, we also pick up the next notion that 'I am so unworthy,' 'I am so stupid,' 'I am so guilty.' So this is pointing you to the truth of what you are right now. Do you have to think about it? Do you have to understand it? This is contrary to all the conditions that we had so far. That is why it can seem like a struggle, because our habit is like this. But nothing to do, nowhere to go. Just naturally the presence is here, the being is here, this consciousness is there. You can say the fruit of Satsang, this is the food that is on offer here. Can I give it to you straight? To come to unassociated being.
