You Are Shining Beautifully With Your Own Light - 5th Sept. 2016

Actually, I've been sharing that the feeling that is here now is that I've been sharing for mostly years now and almost every day. There must be at least 500 to 600 satsangs somewhere. Also, there are seven books out now, thanks to Maya and the seva team. So you must be tired of hearing my voice by now, you see.

What I was feeling lately is that I feel like questions now can happen... what can happen is that it can just feel like a bit of spoon-feeding with a question and its answer. Although it is very good because it dissolves our conditioning or something, it can feel like, oh, it is available to you like a machine. We put a question in and now the answer comes. And maybe sometimes it gets in the way of our deeper contemplation sometimes. So maybe I also ask you a lot of questions now and see what is actually... what is your own direct experience when you speak from there? And then we can look at things together more in this way, especially for those who have been in satsang for some time.

And also, I feel like questioning answers, yeah, because I feel like many times we've heard all the answers now and you feel like we know the right answers. You see, with many of you, when the rubber hits the road, it goes straight out the window. You see, I've been seeing some of that as well. So for some time at least, I won't be like a satsang jukebox where you put the question coin in and out the answer comes. I'd like it very much, especially for those who've been in the Sangha for some time, to also tell me when they have a question about the question. So then the question is really on fire because you have contemplated it, you've looked at it, and it's burning with that fire of contemplation. And then when it's brought up, we can have an inquiry together. That's good.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is good. Sometimes you don't even know what our next contemplation should be and can be. Then we come up and you say, 'Okay, can you contemplate this?'

Yes. Are you happy? Truly, the intent here has never been to... it's not been that I want to create a dependency and we have a group of people who are dependent on the answers coming from here or something like this. Although, you are shining very beautifully with your own light and I want to put some more ghee in that light.
