Show Me Your Boundary

So you say there is a strong expectation that once I realize the Truth, which is this, then I should experience a unity with everything. Now how do you know that what you are experiencing is not unity? [Pause] Show me your boundary. Where is the boundary?

Doesn’t seem to be a boundary. So to experience separation, which is the lack of unity, you need a boundary isn’t it? So this is unity. [Silence]. What did you think unity was going to be like?

Everyone, every…

Yes, everything is a part of you and you only want that?

Or atleast there is an idea that, that is it.

Not what God is serving up fresh for you? Is it? So fresh God is here but we are thinking about something that happened some time ago and calling that God, in a way, you see? But God is always here. So fresh God is here so just taste fresh God completely fresh. [Silence] Because if we have an idea about what the experience of freedom should be then it is not freedom, it is limited by our idea of what it should be. [Silence] Is God not here? Does he not know what to cook for you? Whatever your experiences are, the Universal chef knows. So at the center of one who wants to experience unity, or the idea that some unity should be there, is which one? From which center should the unity be experienced?

You see. There was no such deal with God that from my body center I should now feel one with everything. Where you are one with everything, you are one with everything. There is nothing besides You and that You is also a no-thing. So, nothing that has a central reference of our body, we can throw away all these expectations. They are not of service to us anyway. And the experiences that come, when they come, enjoy them like prasad, you know prasad? [Gift from God] So enjoy them like the prasad but don’t mistake them to be the Darshan [Self recognition] [Silence]. The Darshan is independent of any taste, color, experience, phenomena. Your Self recognition is so pristine, it doesn’t matter what else is dancing around. In India when we were growing up we used to have these TV shows, anytime anything auspicious was happening the Gods would come from the heavens and throw flowers. All our experiences are like that, they are just the side show of the auspiciousness of your true Darshan. But if you get attached to the side show, then you forget about the real Darshan. There will be a time when many beautiful spiritual experiences will come but Your Self is not an experience.
