We Must Dedicate our Life to This

As you are empty, which is quite natural actually, it's not difficult, your presence is quite palpable. You may say, it's quite apparent, and some of you may report that I experience it like a subtle vibraHon, the primordial vibraHon. Some may say, I experience it in my heart region. Some may say, it's not in the body but around the body. Some may say, it's in the forehead. You may confirm all of these things. But that is just like the hook line from God. Not that it must be looked down upon in any way, we must have full reverence for this Holy Presence always. But it is like a clamp, it is like something that, because we are so lost, we can sHll grasp to come back home. And, again, in all forms of Satsang we invoke this Holy Presence in our Heart, even in the beauHful Hanuman Chalisa that we just sang there is a line that says at the end Keejai Das Hrdaye mein dera which means that, my Master, my Lord, please find a home in my Heart, so basically invoking the Darshan of this holy Presence in our Heart. And yes, it is always there. It is not a coming and going. But is does seem to be lost in the hypnosis of the mind. But to live without this is not to live at all. And all of us must dedicate our life to this discovery, to this Presence, to this Light of God. Because without this living in this Light of God, I have often said that this world is like trying to make ourselves a comfortable hell, hoping that one day it will become liveable. So, to become fully humble, not special, nobody, is to prepare the house for Krishna's arrival. And whether Krishna arrives or not is none of our business. Our job is to do it because we have faith in the Reality of God. Don't get confused with the term Krishna. I'm just talking about the same Presence itself, and whichever aspect of the Lord, whichever play of the Lord appeals to us the most, we can have our devotion to That or to Them, that's completely fine. But the main task here is to become completely empty to ourselves. To deepen in our devotion, in our trust, to deepen in our servitude, in our humility. To deepen in our non-attachment to worldly things. To let go of the false. If we are empty, then all the pointers are available to you, but you cannot use them in a way that should help the Me. And this is the struggle that most of you go through, that you are trying to be peaceful, that you are trying to be happy, you are trying to be joyful, you are trying to be enlightened, you are trying to be free, you are trying to guide others, you are trying so many things for the Me. And these become your blind spots because they are spiritual sounding things. But if you were to really investigate what it is about, you will soon see that it is about Me and not God. So, the spiritual sounding thing that you do for the Me is as much egotistical as any other thing that you do for the Me. So, please don't fool yourself in a sort of spirituality which has nothing to do with God. Or, if it has something to do with God, it is only that “God for me”, so when I find God I will be happy, when I find God then he will give me peace and then I will be special or enlightened or something like that. All this must be thrown out. If you found God, but nothing special happened to you that you would show for it, that I am somebody special because I found God. It doesn't help improve your relationships, your money, your work situation, your health of your body, nothing. It doesn't give you anything but just you met God. Do you love God that much to want God in spite of no benefit? Okay, most of you are nodding, that's good. Now, let's take it one step ahead. Suppose that to meet God you had to let go of everything that you value in life. Everything that you're hoping will get better in spirituality becomes a hundred times worse. Would we still want God? We have nothing to show for it. You loose all your money, you become a beggar on the streets. But you have God. Or you have a chance of God. We were just joking about Guruji's [Sri Mooji's] story about the twigs. So, what is your twig, what is your boundary line beyond which you cannot leave it to God, you have to come into the picture to manage, you need to have control over that? By the way, I'm not predicting that all of these things will happen, that you will become a beggar, that you will have no family. I'm not predicting that they will happen, I'm just saying that, can you leave all of those things to God with full faith, and faith does not mean the expectation that he will do it rightly according to my mind. Faith means that whatever situation God keeps us in, whatever we take ourselves to be, we are content with that, we are okay with that, we are in acceptance of that. Unless we feel clearly about this in our Heart, don't rush to claim anything at all. Forget about the notion of enlightenment, freedom. First clean the house. Remain the nobody that doesn't want to become a somebody or a nobody.
