God’s presence In This World

So spirituality is basically the story of God's Presence in this world. It is not that you are spiritual or you are practicing spirituality, it is quite literally just the story of God's Presence in this world. So when we come to spirituality, when we attain spirituality that which we consider ourselves to be just aligns itself to God's Presence and becomes a part of that Light. If you can grasp this and this is what you actually want then the spiritual path will be very straigh{orward although not always easy but straigh{orward. But if you think that spirituality is for you and the situation is reversed where it is the story of your life becoming from worldly to spiritual and you will now make God a participant in your life and most likely an assistant then you’ve got this upside down. To meet the Guru Presence in your Heart as the point of intersection where your life ceases to be and God’s Light takes over is to come to Satsang. So when we say open an empty it is to come to your death while you are still alive. So that now it is God's light, God's presence, God's life which can unfold through you or through that which you considered to be you [Silence] and not the other way around. So once you fix your perspective about this the Paradigm on this everything shared in Satsang will seem very clear. But if you still think that God is for me rather than me or whatever is lee of it to be for God, then to be in Satsang is to be made uncomfortable. And if you still take yourself to be an individual which does not want to make this sacrifice and you still find Satsang enjoyable then I am doing something wrong. I don't want to make you peaceful or happy. I don't want to make you peaceful. I want to make you burn. [Pause] So if you are burning then that is good If you are happy as a byproduct of the burning and being in the pure Presence of God, then that is good. But if you are happy being ‘you’ then I'm here to change that. I know it may not have been what you wanted or thought you wanted but the idea is not to make you happy because you really are nothing you don't exist. So to make the delusion happy is not going to serve anyone. So really it is a battle in a way of two different infections. I'm afflicted with a heart infection, deeply affected by this heart infection which makes me drown in the love for God. Makes me see nothing but God's Light wherever I look. And that which I considered myself to be, the person that I thought I was I cannot find and in the moments it makes a rare appearance it is negligible and pointless. I’m the carrier of this infection, and if you come close to me then you will catch it. the world predominantly is caught up in an infection of selfishness,obsessed with what about ‘me’ and help me and progress for me.[Silence]And it's found that if you spend time in that kind of mindset then you catch that kind of infection. And really we have no role in this. It's just how the Light is spreading or not spreading, it’s really about that. So those of you who are willing to catch this bug, that means to let go of their conceptual life for the true life of God. True life of God, not a conceptual idea of God but a true discovery and Insight of God which is the end of the selfishness of the ‘me’. From a temporal life to an eternal life. [Pause] Then satsang is the environment where this kind of bug can spread. I really have no interest in amplifying your spiritual egos, no interest in getting you to know something. So what I’m looking for is more carriers of this bug. Because I want this bug to spread. That’s really what I want. The Light to spread as far and wide as it is possible and the ego Shadow, the mind's propagation of selfishness to be wiped away. So first let's examine what we are in this for, whose life are you leading right now? Who is your life for? [silence] Who is your life for? [Pause] If your life is for God it is important first to come face to face with the Presence of God. You see because I don't want you to let go of your imagined life, imagined as it is, for another imaginary notion. So let's find the God in front of whom we can chop off our own heads [Silence] and this is actually very easy if you mean what you claim- that your life is no longer for yourself but it is for God, then your mind cannot come in the way of this discovery. And this discovery is the most intimate and most simple you will ever make. Imagine for a moment that this sense of aliveness that you feel at the moment, that went away and you no longer felt alive. Imagine yourselves, if it is not too scary a notion, to be like a zombie, lifeless object just moving from place to place. So this presence of life, this Presence of Being is not somebody's individual presence, is not an objective ownership that you have over. This, This itself is God's Presence, it is God's Light, that very aliveness in you, that veryBeingness in you. So when I ask you ‘can you stop being’ the Being that you encounter the Presence of the Being that you encounter is God's presence [Silence] Is God's Presence. It is the difference between you being alive and you being dead. So if you can claim that I am alive it is on the insight of this Being that you say that you are saying.
