Whatever You Take Yourself to Be, You Are Bigger Than That

So, I'm seeming very headless today. Don't evaluate how headless you are. See, our mind is just an underestimation of our presence. Whatever you can estimate in your mind about your being, about your presence, that consciousness, that Atma, can never match its reality. So whatever you take yourself to be, you are bigger than that. And you can't meet what I'm saying through an idea that you have.

See, that's why the mind... we are always speaking on the mind. Sometimes I get this complaint: 'Father, why are you always speaking on the mind? Isn't the mind also consciousness?' It is consciousness, but it's representations. So if you have a Picasso in front of you and instead you have a representation of a nursery kindergarten cartoon, and then somebody says, 'Okay, this is the Picasso,' you're not going to believe it. It doesn't mean you have to hate it. You cannot take your reality to be that limited as the mind represents. Any conceptual representation of you is not worthy of you, see? So whatever you can try and understand about yourself is not it. It's too small.

You are the magnificent ocean; the representation is that of a wave, or not even a wave, a droplet. Then how are you meant to accept this falseness as your original reality? It is impossible. And because it is impossible, that is why you seem to suffer when you take that limited representation to be true. Headlessly, what is your shape? Headlessly, where do you start? What is your end? Any of these pointers, don't do them selfishly. Don't do them selfishly only means don't try to excel at it, don't try to make something out of it. Just follow with the innocence of a child. If you're not understanding, don't understand. Let the words explode for you. You just be here and allow everything to unfold on its own.

Now, without the concept, what are you? Do you have a beginning? Do you have a problem? Can you describe your life situation? That is your favorite hobby. That is our favorite hobby, but it is not real. It is not true. It is your hobby, and actually, it's more of a compulsion than a hobby. It's more of an addiction than a hobby because you feel like, 'Unless I'm able to determine how things are right now, how can I plan for my next move?'

You have no story right now. Okay? None of you have any story right now. Now, what's your next move? What should you do? What do you want? Where should you go? And these seem like fundamental questions that you have to answer, but to answer these, you need that subtext of 'my current situation,' 'what is my description of what is true about me right now.' Only then I can plan the next move. So this is our addiction, this is our compulsion.
