Don't identify

The ‘you’ that observes, does it have a location?

Does it live in a house?

Is there another you?

But? [Laughs]

Now, this one is not identification? The one that is very clingy. The observer is clingy?

The person is very clingy to the person? Sometimes you have to look at it right at the root of the problem. Sometimes it’s okay to speak at the phenomenal level and its fine. All my blessings are always with you and I hope you find your accommodation and whatever keeps the children most comfortable but also it is important to tackle the main issue at times. Isn’t it?

So, let’s really look at that. So, this one that is observing, that is aware of perception, you say that that is you. Now, that one in its manifest play as Consciousness seems to get identified as a person. But that identification equals suffering and Consciousness has, within its power, to not identify. That’s why all the Masters point to us to ‘don’t identify’. If it was not possible for Consciousness to do, then they would not say it. Isn’t it? So, for you being referred to as Consciousness at the moment, don’t log into any of these limited ideas of yourself. That is absence of identification and therefore suffering.

That’s a common one. We started Satsang with something like this where we said that what is the best thing you can do right now for the one that will be here five minutes later? “Apparently” there will such a one, let’s presume. So, what is the best gift you can give to that one? Would your getting identified in the story of that one be a good gift for that one?

Could your getting identified in the story of the one that will be there later, could that be a good gift for that one?

Yes, yes.

The one that doesn’t exist wants to control everything. The one that is controlling everything is not concerned about controlling everything. That’s the funny play. That’s it. That’s very good.

You look very good.

[Laughs] What to trust? What to trust? I would rather trust your smile than your thought.

That’s just a thought. How to trust a thought? I don’t trust here, how to trust a thought there?

That’s what everybody tells me. Tell me something that is not a thought. I’ll trust that.

And that is not a thought?

Just another thought.

But your existence, your Being, is not a concept. You Presence is not a concept. So, we learn to trust that more and it’s play. Whichever way it wants to play out in this world. We learn to trust that more than the interpretive mind and the narrative mind which, all it has is stories. Very good. Very good.

You can trust my words more than your thoughts. The words that appear in Satsang are the voice of your intuition which you are not yet able to hear without this seemly external voice coming to you. But it’s your own intuition calling out to you saying, let go of your mind and trust your deeper intelligence. Very good. This openness will be your biggest strength.
