There Is Only One Existence - 8th February 2018

Akash says: What can I do to realize that I am all alone and to realize it without falling back into delusion?

Actually, even the concept of alone relies on the concept of separation. You see, when you're checking on what is naturally present, you know, it is finding that there is just one existence. I am. This one existence is limitless because actually, it is all there is. So I want to tell you that you are the unlimited one, the unlimited 'I' which is the source of all things, of all appearances. They come and they dissolve only within you.

Now, if you did not have the concept of 'alone,' then this could not be troublesome. But I know this, that many times it can feel like, 'But this means that I'm the only one,' you see? And in that, hidden also is again a limited notion of what you are. I am saying that you are the one beyond the play of one and many. You are that one which is beyond the phenomenal play of one and many. So the concept of alone, or with company, or alone with the voice, does not apply. You are not a thing at all. If you were an object, then I could say, 'Yes, you are an alone object' or 'Are there many of you?' But you are not an object at all. You're that in which all time and space takes birth.

You say, 'What can I do to realize and to realize it without falling back into delusion?' For this, I have some very good news. Just naturally in this moment, whether your mind agrees or not, this truth is completely apparent to you. That there is only one existence is completely apparent to you in this moment. And the only way to claim as if you're stuck in delusion is to buy what your thoughts are telling you about yourself. But whatever they might be saying, in that very moment when you check, you will see that the truth has not left you. It is always here.

So the good news is that you never actually fall into delusion, but many times Consciousness seems to play with the pretense of separation or delusion. And that is why we have satsang every day, Monday to Friday. As often as you can, and whenever life makes the space for it, come to satsang and you will soon be reporting that it just seems like it is impossible to fall back into delusion. It's just so clear to me that I can never be stuck. And I will recommend even then to keep coming to satsang.
