It’s Too Much Work To Take Yourself to be the Body-Mind [Part 2]

You are aware of all of your perceptions. You are aware of all of your perceptions, isn’t it? You see this hand, you hear this mouth, you are aware of the hearing, you are aware of sight. It is simple that Awareness is ‘you.’ What else could you be? In your looking, in your insight, what else could you be? Did somebody have to teach you that you are aware of your sight, you are aware of your hearing? Did somebody have to tell you ‘That one, that one is you, that one is you, find that?’ What is there to find? Isn’t it clear? So before we take on a journey, before we decide to undertake a journey to find our Self, let’s see if it is lost in the first place. Otherwise, the notion of finding our Self is just a way of fulfilling our desires. [We say] ‘Once I find my Self I will be peaceful, once I find my Self there will be no suffering.’ So, you see it is just still about the phenomenal. Where did you lose your Self? And don’t try to solve it for ‘yesterday’s you’ who was struck in some difficult situation and frustrated. Don’t try to project it into some future ‘you’ who will say ‘Oh, right now it’s fine but what about aeer Satsang? I am talking about right now. Is it not apparent to you that you are this Awareness? Now the only way you will get into trouble is if you try to understand this, which means if you try to squeeze this into your heads. Without the attempt to squeeze anything into your head, tell me something? Without trying to understand at all - what is it? What could you want here?
