Don't waste this Gie from God

Is there anything missing in terms of what you need to have, the tools you need to have, the pointers you need to have, the attention you need to have that enables you to find God? Is there something missing in that?

You see? And this is my question for all of you, that is there anything missing in terms of the guidance that you're receiving, in terms of the pointers that are available to you, in terms of the insights which are shared with you? Anything that is not enough coming from here which enables you to really (provisionally I'll use the term) undertake this journey from head to Heart?

Okay, but we don't have to [gestures 'leave it']. Just empty, empty is good, we don't have to judge yourself for anything like that. So, if all the tools are with you, the pointers are with you, then when the mind offers up various other problems that you need to solve, like “Why doesn't Father give me attention?”, you think that is helpful or that it is just going to become a distraction?

So, I want to bring you to a point from initially where we may say, something has to come to resolution and then we can become empty, to a point where you can say “Oh, I spot this is mind and I am empty of it”. If you look at most in the world, they are struggling with the notion that this is my particular problem, my marriage is a problem, my kids are a problem, my money is a problem, my health of my body is a problem, my work is a problem, everything is a problem. And I will rest at peace only once I have come to a resolution of that. How many have you met that have come to a resolution of everything? Even if outwardly they claim to be very peaceful, they feel like “Ah, this is good”, they seem to be quite free from all of this, if you spend some time with them you realize that a lot of things which may be festering inside them, which they are not allowing to come onto the surface, which actually may be even counterproductive. So it is not through the process of resolution, but the process of surrendering it, to letting it go to God's Light, which is very very difficult for the ego, but it is the most effortless way to live. So, if you're walking from Bangalore to Mysore, how many times you have to cross Sri Lanka? All of you, you don't have to cross. The pointing is available to you, the physical presence in Satsang is available to you. What happens is that the mind has a very absurd job. Its absurd job is to try and convince you that something is more valuable than God. You see? And with the Master, that's a very tricky sort of situation, because you may say, but Master is also an embodiment of God, like that, but you can smell it on yourself when it is coming just as a devotion which means that it is for the Sadguru Presence which is within yourself, and maybe a lot of reverence for the form of the Master in front of you. But you can get a sense when it is not really about the Guru, the Presence, the Holiness inside you, but more about the, like a judgment, like an interpretation about what something means. And then, how it flows with anyone is impossible for us to predict, it's impossible for me to predict. Now, there could be somebody sitting in this Satsang saying, when I asked Father the same question last time, he just told me to stop it. Or, it's just your mind, get over yourself, something like that, and when [someone else from the Sangha] is asking, then she's getting so much attention and so much explanation, and things like that. If you fall into that game, that is never ending. Like, why does this one get like this, some treatment, then why does this one get this treatment. We cannot really put our finger on it, which doesn't mean that we cannot offer feedback and things like that. It only means that, I can honestly tell you, I don't know why I'm explaining things in so much detail to you and maybe the next one that comes will get just a chop, and they may say, look at that, this is partiality, this is not fair, we're also his children. [Inaudible] But if you're clear (because it's a very big statement), if you're clear that everything you need to find God has been made available to you, everything that you need to find God and to live in God is been made available to you ‒ what could be your next sentence after that? That's the absurdity, isn't it. How many can say that firstly in the world. This is a very first world problem, it is to say yes, you've been very clear, you've told us how to find God's Light in my node, detailed as much as is possible to point out, and beyond. And actually all the tools, all the pointers that I needed are available with us. We just have to follow. So, first we must recognize the Grace and the privilege in That, and secondly, we must not waste That at any cost. And how does it get wasted? When we are wasting it, we dont think we're wasting it for life. When we are wasting it, the gift of God, nobody feels that we are wasting it for our entire life. We just feel like we're wasting it for today. Just for today, today I have to solve this problem, today this problem, this problem. And soon our life is over. You know that in the recent past I've seen some of that in my family, so it is not that anybody leaves this life whoever, like, let's say those who are even slightly interested in God, nobody leaves this life feeling that they will not give God more focus, more time. Nobody leaves like that. Everyone feels like, tomorrow onwards let's start. Tomorrow onwards, full on. I joke with my son sometimes, because he never says no to anything. He only says tomorrow. Can you fill up that form for your college? - I'll do it. When? Tomorrow. Will you speak to this one? Tomorrow. So everything is only tomorrow. And this seems so innocent and humble actually, it's not saying no, it's tomorrow, later.

Absolutely right. We don't realize it, but look at what we just said. We said, and all of you nodded even, we said, is everything that you need to find and to be in God available to you. Most of you said yes. Now you realize you may be in trouble, so you're not nodding as much [smiling]. But if that is the case, then what are we resolving? What other things do we have to solve? How about we reverse it, we say okay, we find and we live in God first, and then we solve all the other problems.
