What Is Here Unconditionally and Always? - 1st February 2018

What is here unconditionally? Unconditionally and always, in the sense that no matter what the condition might be. The condition applies to all appearances: the condition of the world, condition of the body, condition of our thoughts, the condition of our emotion, all these sensations. What is here irrespective of these conditions? Whatever the condition might be, and that is your greater reality. The limitless, conditionless one, that is your greater reality. Then, in the presence of these conditions, the appearance of this world, it is an aspect of your play.

So what I'm saying is that no condition can truly bind the reality of you. You are not this way or the other, and this is very freeing. There is great freedom in this because although it might sound like it is some sort of denial of the appearance, actually it is very freeing because all appearances then are allowed to come and go once you see that your greater reality remains untouched. And it is only the smaller notion that I could have of myself which seems to get affected by the conditions in the appearance.

And this applies to all conditions. So all the clues which are given to you in Satsang—clues like: What is it that witnesses all that is changing and yet remains unchanging itself? What is it that is aware of all things? Is that itself a thing? Is there a qualityless, attributeless Self? What is aware of your existence? All these are beautiful pointings. Are you aware now? Beautiful clues to find that which remains without any condition, which is not touched by whatever the appearance might be.

And it is in the recognition of this greater reality about yourself that you become truly open to all of your existence as well. Because it is when you find that you cannot be hurt and ended by any appearance, can you truly be open.
