Allow Your Truth To Shine
Your innate truth already shines; release the mental coverings and identifications that obscure it and allow your authentic self to emerge naturally.
If you super impose your Being with masks then that is the destruction, but if you let your Being shine then that is true, true light. What is within - bring it forth, let your Being shine, you don’t have to suppress it or repress it under masks or personas or tactics or strategies and projections about how life should be or how spiritual life should be. All of these look like masks to me, under which the Truth is shining. So bring that forth. Let it shine, let your true Being shine and let us see what happens in that. For me to apply a strategy on top of your Being would be to put a mask and to hide it. To say that ‘my Being is not enough, I need to amplify it with my idea of what should be created or how it should unfold,’ it would not in my way of looking, seem anything like allowing it to come forth. Allow your Being to shine. Allow your atma to shine. With no fear about what may play out. What will happen? Our projection about our spiritual life and what we think we have to, will not be expressed through this body, that is fine. Is that fine or no? This is the question? Suppose your inner discovery, that Consciousness recognizing its own source is ‘I am Brahman itself, I am the quality-less, timeless eternal Reality’ that is your discovery. But the instant you start sharing about this, the words from your mouth are just blah, blah, blah…. [Smiles] and everybody is like ‘Na, I don't think you've got it yet man, I don't feel like you're just all over the place’ would you all be okay with that? Would you all be okay with that? Or you still waiting for this body and this tongue and this mouth to represent your insight so that that becomes then a certificate from others and your own mind saying ‘you are doing so well, you are really getting this.’ I would say ‘don't be concerned, don't be concerned.’ If in the light of your Being, this body has to shine in that, with the light of those words and they have to be expressed in any sort of environment, allow that to happen and if it becomes silent allow that to happen and if it becomes completely silly sounding, allow that to happen. It is all good, good. Sometimes the pressure also comes like that saying ‘I found this Truth but why can't I express it well to my family, why are they not convinced? Or my friends, my friends s%ll think I am stupid, I am not… what am I doing… was%ng my life. I am not making as much money or not being produc%ve’ and all of this like we spoke the other day. Like this can be a projection coming from our mind or from around the people around us ‘but you could do so much, look at you just sitting, just sitting, look at you.’ And then the Master says ‘Oh… aeer I met…’ like Guruji [Sri Mooji] says aeer that encounter with Papaji [Sri H. W. L. Poonja] for years he was just sitting. But not that I am saying that ‘just sitting, like just sitting can also become a strategy’ so please do not misunderstand. [Smiles]. The way it sounded just now may feel like ‘Oh, the true expression of the Truth then would be just sitting. So you shut up, you shut up, I am not. I am going to just sit because my Master just sat and his Master just sat. [Smile] I am just going to do that.’ I am not saying that. I am saying that ‘neither do we get attached to as a position and we allow it unfold how is it unfolding naturally.’ We are not resisting invitations to move, nor are we accepting invitations to move, we are allowing them to unfold as usual.
Key Teachings
- Your truth is already present and complete within you - it doesn't need to be created, only revealed
- What obscures your truth are mental identifications, beliefs, and coverings that you have accumulated over time
- Allowing means surrendering into what you already are rather than striving to become something new
