This Is So Simple That it Must Be It - 12th February 2018

I want to change one paradigm around—unpopular, but paradigms from the mind who says, 'Oh, this is too simple, therefore it cannot be it. It is too simple, therefore it cannot be it.' We must replace that notion. If you have to use a notion—best is notionless—but if you have to use a notion, you have to say, 'This is so simple that it must be it.' Being is the only thing which has no complexity. Just to be, being is... being has zero complexity. That's why I have been saying recently that you see, this discovery will be your greatest, but it will be perceived as mindless. Complex? Let it go. What are you most naturally, effortlessly? Nothing on the surface has to change also. Even before you can try to become effortless, you see, what are you effortlessly? But even before that, that is why the attempt to find God is such a paradox, because you could not get rid of God if you tried.

When I ask you, 'Can you stop being?' it is the same as asking, 'Can you be rid of God?' So how is this master trick played? What is the trick of the mind? There's only one trick: it has to convince you that this being is existent being, is something individual or personal. It is not. It is not consciousness, it is not unlimited, that it is small, that it is doing. Everything else is actually showing you your truth. It is only our interpretation coming from this mind which creates this notion of separation. So when you check, 'Can I stop being now?' this being that you are discovering about yourself is not a personal entity, is not individual, has no boundaries. It is not existent in time; time is existent in it. It is not existent in space; space is existent in it. It itself is beyond all ideas of space.

And there is an aspect of you which is not aged, isn't it? What has aged? Our ideas have become old. These sensations and emotions we have experienced for a long time. There is something about you which is beyond this time, the perceiver of the movement that we call time. To put it more accurately, the movement of objects through which we infer time. The very existence is not participating in this limited realm of time and space. So if the question 'Can I stop being?' is the coin that we are using to scratch the surface, and you come across this presence without going to interpretation—your mental interpretation of this presence—see if you can remain with just your inner insight about your tasting, your direct tasting of it.

Stay in the tasting of your being, because if you give it to your mind, you know what happens. Guruji says you bring chocolate cake to the mind and it only mixes mud in it. So as you're tasting your being, if you could clear all the dust of interpretation of it, you will see. But where is the place? This can't be it. But how long will being wait with the seller of doubt? How long will you continue to doubt your very... your very existence? There will come a time where no notion will do to describe. My invitation is that this time is now. This is what I mean when I say everything that we can say after 'I am' is the story, is a lie, because this 'I am' is beyond description. And as we leave this presence unharassed and unmolested by notions, as Ashtavakra Gita says, all things are perfectly resolved in the unborn.
