The Seeming-Paradoxes of Satsang Reveal Neutrality - 26th Sept. 2016

There's nothing you can do to be free, huh? And the next line should be: you must constantly strive for freedom. You are not the doer at all, but you must do the inquiry. He must reduce the gaps between the contradiction, then you know what we're really talking about. You see, why is it like this? Why is it like this? Because to come to a point of neutrality, I require sometimes a whack from the left and sometimes a whack from the right. Otherwise, what happens? We go this way too much or we go that way too much. So to keep the neutrality, you have to say this way sometime—oh no, no, no, too much to the left, come to the right. So you have to act from both sides so we keep the road. Satsang is: keep your eyes on the road.

Sometimes I say nothing you can do; sometime, what are you doing? Do the inquiry. What are you doing here in Satsang? You're trying to calculate your way out of the contradictions of Satsang. You will not be able to because there is no verbal truth to be spoken. There is nothing that can be... if there was something that could just be said and that would lead you to your freedom, that would be just published, done. You don't need a living Master, you don't need anything, just one book and they would have figured it out. How long have humans been on this Earth? A few million years. So somebody would have... in the few million years, they would have... somebody would have figured out: this is the master key to freedom. It doesn't work like that.

Because what is being worked at is the fundamental presumption which we all end up making: that I must be a separate individual. And there's nothing that the individual will want more than something like a master key. It will only end up making the sense of being an individual stronger. So anytime you feel like—yes, in just a minute—anytime you feel like you found the way, you got it now, know that it is not true.
