Just as You Are, You Are All There Is

The Truth of What You Are Is Apparent This intuitive Presence, the Presence of the Satguru itself, the divinity of the Presence is inside now. Now the question comes (she says) that ‘is this another aspect of the mind itself that I am experiencing, how can I determine that?’ There is a way to determine that but that way is not the mind. The question may come from the mind but the true answer will not come from the mind. Now leave the mind and when I say mind (because mind is confusing to you) do not value any thought which is coming is what I mean by ‘leave the mind.’ Do not value any thought, which is coming. Allow those thoughts to be valueless, let go of them and then in your Heart the same thing which we are confused about which is which is whether it is an aspect of the mind or not, the answer will be apparent. It is apparent. As you are notion-less, as you are not giving value, truth value to thoughts, the Truth of what you are is apparent and the Truth of the world is apparent. The mind does not have to be satisfied. The mind will poke you ‘Okay, this mind… this is also mind.’ And that actually also depends on our definition. We mostly refer to Bhagavan [Sri Raman Maharishi] definition which is ‘mind is a bundle of thoughts.’ If you look at it just as bundle of thoughts, then it is fine because there's no actual thing like mind. Just like there's no actual thing like body or world or table or anything like that. It is just an abstraction that we use. Four sticks and a lump of wood together we call that a ‘table’ isn't it? Same way we call ‘leg’ what we are saying and all this put together we call that ‘body.’ We call everything in the realm of perception we call that ‘world’ but there is no actual substance in that. So is it mind it depends on what you call ‘mind’? There is no actual meaning. It is just words give rise to other words. If you open the dictionary, do you get actual meaning? No, you just get other words and if you did not know the language you would have to look them up also. So actually it is just circular, gol-gol (round-round). This is no real meaning being given or knowledge being given. In the same way… in your mind if you have a definition of the mind, which is bundle of thoughts, then that question is negated. Because ‘Are you aware now?’ is not coming as a bundle of thoughts or a thought. You are Seeing it in a different way not sight seeing but you are recognizing it, isn't it? [One hand up in air] There is a perception of this hand, who is aware of that perception? Who is aware of that perception? There is a sheepishness to say ‘I’ because we have related ‘I’ with the ego for so long that ‘I’ must go, that ‘I’ have to go, [like] how can ‘I’ be aware? So we can rely on Bhagavan to solve that riddle for us. He said ‘When the Truth is apparent ‘I’ removes the ‘I’ and it remains ‘I’ so the false ‘I’ is removed and yet the true ‘I’ remains. The true ‘I’ is aware of the perception of this hand and that ‘I’ can it be perceived? Can it be perceived? No. Are you just thinking that it is there and saying it is ‘I’? So you are not thinking about it, you are not perceiving it and yet you are confirming it as ‘I’ no. Intuitively my dear, exactly. That is the main point. So that intuitive insight about ‘I’ is atma- gyana, is Self-knowledge, everybody has it. It has a bad reputation that is about it which is that it is very rare, only one million will find it. Actually, it's sitting there, everybody like the master said ‘the diamond is in your pocket already but you are begging because you're looking in the wrong direction.’ So spiritual seeking is that ‘begging’. [The] diamond is already in pocket. In our living room who is sitting? God is already sitting. Whose light shining that gives light to all of your perceptions? God's light. Consciousness’s light, whichever word you like. But it is yours, already with you.
