This is how You save Yourself

Now the only thing that will get in your way are your imagined desires, your individual will. The mind will come and scare you and say, but if you live like this, are you sure that you won't become a beggar on the streets? Are you sure that God may not one day demand a big sacrifice, which may seem like a big sacrifice? This fear, these doubts will come. And all the pointers in Satsang, all the inquiry in Satsang, all the prayers, everything is the anHdote to this, the aZracHon of these doubts to pull you back into the force field of the mind, into the room of the mind. This is basically the outline of the spiritual project. This is what the aZempt is. It is not to help me, it is not to make life beZer. In fact it is surrendering to the extent of even if life seems to get worse, if in God's light what I take my life to be and how I judge my life to be gets worse, then so be it. So, spirituality is not about you, it is about God. If you just get that much, this Satsang is worth it. You are not at the center of this game, the false You, definitely not at the ecenter of this game. So all that is being shared here is for God, with no way for the Me to get beZer using it. That which we may have defined in very simple terms actually is the fireplace for the false Me to burn itself. What do you need to burn? That call which you get from the other room which says come, come. This you have to take care of. The rest your Heart can do. There is no project greater than this project.There is no juggling possible between the way of the head and the way of the Heart. For a while it will seem like uZer humility is required.The minute we start to take ourselves to be something we're back in the wrong place. And, most importantly, don't try to squeeze any of this into your head. Don't try to make the new room inside the old one, because that is going to be the worst form of ego which is the spiritual ego. If you try to make God part of your exisHng understanding, God subservient to your percepHons of spiritual experiences, that is oxygen to your spiritual ego. So return to complete humility. In Zen they would call it a beginner's mind. Stay in beginner's mind which is not to stay in mind at all. Just nothing. What have you done? Nothing. How far have you come? Nowhere. How far do you have to go? Don't know. So this then becomes your shield against any aspect of the ego which will take the biggest gie away from you, while under the hypnosis that you are riding the horse of the greatest gie ever. What is being shared with you, the plant next to me already knows this. There is nothing so great about what we are doing. In this fireplace of complete acceptance of God's will is a complete act of faith which is not reasonable. In this fireplace you will burn, if that is truly your longing to be with God, you will burn every piece of wood which your mind offers to you. That is why I said that, as you begin to be guided in this way, then you have to follow it unwaveringly. And this will oppose any idea of individual will that you have. So, in this way completely contrary to what your mind may believe at this point, this obedience to God's will is complete freedom. And your head will not fathom this, because in the head freedom means to be able to do whatever the head wants. To have a God dictated life to the head seems like an oppressive life, but actually it is not. It is freedom from the oppression of the divider, of the separator, of the dualist. It is freedom from that oppression, which for some Hme will feel like an oppressive existence to follow your intuiHon. But already you can see the absurdity in it. If you had two intelligences on offer on which you could live your life, then you would pick the greater one, not the lesser. This brings me to an important point which is that, as you are being guided in Satsang and as you are with your Heart, then don't try to value add with your head stuff. Don't say, oh, my Heart says just be open, but you know, that doesn't work for me, I feel like what works, you know, is something, I don't know, whatever. That's a trick and you must see the trick by now. If you knew what worked for you, you would not be here. If you knew how you could judge that you would also not be here. If that knowledge again is coming from the disruptor of your peace then it is not worth following. One child very sweetly the other day said, everything you say Father I like to just make it my own in some way and make it original and unique. So I said, stop it. Stop it, because that's where the distorHon can come. So noHce that that which may seem like a freedom is actually a false individuality, a false will. The feast is already laid out for you, it's been cooked well. What happens if you go to a French restaurant and ask for ketchup? In the same way you don't have to have uniqueness, originality. There's nothing original. And if you could show me the way with which you could determine how something is beZer for you or not, then I may say okay, do it. But you follow the thief's distracHons, its diversions and say I want it only that way. The thief says, go lee, you will find me there. You say, Father, help me go lee. It cannot work that way. If you see this trick, you'll save you a lot of Hme. If you see this trick, because the thief doesn't want to be caught. So it will say over there, over there, that's where you'll find it. And you say, yes, over there, who can help me get there? Yes, my Master should help. The Master says no, no, no, just keep quiet. - „I don't like you, you're not helping me“. So, noHce all these subtle tricks. Aeer doing all the due diligence possible in the world, and I'm sure most of you have been here oeen and have done enough due diligence, aeer doing all the possible due diligence you could do in the world you must come to a point where you follow. And it's completely laid out for you, your room is waiHng in your Heart, the innkeeper is calling you to come. So now is not the Hme to fool around. Just come. This is how you save yourself really.
