It’s is Not a Doing but Clarification of a Misunderstanding

You can’t do it. Just forget about it. I’ve not met anybody who could do it. [Chuckles] Just don’t become ‘anybody’. Okay, let me not… [Laughs] What I am saying is very simple. Just don’t take yourself to be that which you are not. The rest of it is my problem. Don’t identify with the thought saying that ‘you are this or you are that’ or posing a facade about what you are. Then you are resting as the Self or Being-ness or remaining as the Witnessing, all of that I’ll take care of. [Pause] How do you become the Un-Beingness, by the way? How do you do it? Just leave your Being behind. How do you do it? Only with your, seemingly, only with your attention, isn’t it? So, is the movement of attention, would you call that your movement? Attention is moving but are you moving? [Silence] So, how can we make the Unmoving come to rest? This is why I’m saying spiritual seekers suffer more than most because nobody else in the world is trying to stay as the Being and suffering from it. How to stay as that which you can never leave? How to solve the problem that doesn’t exist? So, freedom is not actually coming to a resolution of the problem bondage. It is to see that no such problem ever was. So, we must, really, stop trying to solve non-existent problems. [Silence] The only problem, if there is any, is that of the misunderstanding called ignorance. There is nothing fundamental, tangible, that has to be fixed. If it was a tangible thing, like an objective thing, then Gyan Yoga (path of knowledge), this Satsang would not work because maybe you need to do some Hatha Yoga or something to put things which were broken, separate. So Being was here (gesture to left) and you were here (gestures to right) and like Humpty Dumpty if you had to be put back together again (gestures joining the left and right) then just coming and listening to Satsang could not help you. Something, somebody would need to get some super glue, put you back together saying ‘Ah! Now you can just remain as your Being’. The reason why Gyan Yoga “works” is because it is just a mental misunderstanding. Just a conceptual bad idea. And coming to Satsang is to be rid of that bad idea. The bad idea is that of separation, of duality, that something ever really happened. [Silence] And to remain in your Notionless-ness and to remain in your Unborn is to remain empty of that idea. And empty of that idea nothing has to be fixed, nothing has to be done. Now, we are stuck in the paradigm of problem-solution and problem-resolution by the way of doing. We feel like we are at a particular level and to get to the next level, to get to freedom or enlightenment or something, ‘What do I have to do?’ But it is not a doing. It's just the clarification of a misunderstanding. So, if you felt like your Being is in Delhi and you have to travel to that then I would say ‘Okay, go to airport, buy a ticket, board the flight.’ So, practice one, practice two, practice three, practice four. But if you are your Being and unseparate-able, it’s all just one Being, then what advice can I give you to stay rested in that which you cannot move from? If you said to me ‘How do I sit where I am sitting?’ [Smiles] But you are. So, what is the only problem? The only problem is that you think differently and you’re expecting your thinking to change into the true way of thinking. The thinking can never change into the True way of thinking because thinking is too limited an instrument to convey the Truth. So, as you let go of your thought, [Silence] if you don’t claim truth value to thoughts then what is the trouble? You’re already all that you’ll ever be and that is not bad news. It is good news. You’re already all that you ever can be. Now, if your thinking agrees or disagrees with that, it doesn’t matter. It is not about your thinking. If you think you are God, you’re still the ego. If you don’t think you are God, if you think you are the ego, you’re still the ego, never really but in your thinking. If you’re empty, if you're open and empty, there is only God. [Silence] Is there a simpler way of saying this?
