In that Instant There is No Space to Make That Reference

Fireworks. Which fireworks? Bizzlybom or…?

Advaita? [Laughing] Nothing will appear that will take away some power from consciousness, because consciousness is the all-powerful. So, this idea that once I have the ulHmate experience, ‘Ah, I am Aware, I am this Awareness itself’, than the power of belief should go away. Whose power are we talking about going away? The Self itself? The Being? So what does happen, or what does seem to happen, is that, as more and more you start relying on this intuiHve insight, which is non phenomenal, for reference about yourself, a non-referenHal reference…. because okay… let me ask you further then, the one that is aware of this voice and all of this percepHon, where is that one?

Here, where?

Then where? So, tell me physically.

So, the one that is trying, you see, the one that is trying to locate it, or the one that it is, which one is more you?

It is more you?

This awareness, what can happen, even a quesHon like this, is that we can put our reference point to the one that is looking for some great IT. But actually what is your true posiHon, let’s say provisionally? So if that is seen, than the experience of this will be nothing but this only. It’s only going to be this. But when I say ‘only’ I mean singularly, not like only this. This is It! But, can you imagine if you went to someone in the world, who are caught up with the idea of Hme and space and you said that I discovered myself to be that which is not in Hme, which is not in space, which remains untouched, unaffected by whatever may be happening here. And this is exactly what the scriptures are telling us, this is your Self. So don’t let your mind make it that kind of ‘only’, ‘only that’ - that’s not the ‘only’ I meant. This is It! So, the trouble is what? There is nothing the ‘me’ can get out of this. (Nothing the me can get out of this) All the wants were the me’s idea, the non-existent me because the me is made up of all these ideas. And because it has built up this spiritual journey to be made up of fulfilment of worldly desire, phenomenal desire; when that desire doesn’t seem to get fulfilled in the purity, in the innocence of our simple Seeing, Self-recogniHon, than it starts to throw a tantrum. That is what frustraHon is. Can you have a non-worldly desire? You may feel like ‘But I want the discovery of the non-phenomenal’ that is my non-worldly desire. But that is already with you. So, if you don’t cloud it up with spiritual selfishness, as I call it, like ‘What should this do for me?’ and then, allow it to unfold, then you see. At least give it a chance and then say ‘It does not fulfill my desire.’ So no reference to yourself as ‘something’ at all and this intuiHve insight is apparent. Who are you without your mind - is apparent to you. Who are you without your mind?
