What Are You Still Hiding?

This Light, this creative Light, the Light that creates this entire Universe and sustains it by its very Presence, is also available to us as a guide, as a teacher. That is why it’s also called the Satguru Presence. It is a magnificent, it is a phenomenal discovery, the likes of which you cannot have in this world. Because you meet the gateway to that which is formless. This then becomes the portal to the formlessness, the unfathomableness of God. Without this you are dead anyway. Without this there is no life anyway. So, when you’re asked for the sacrifice, it is only the sacrifice of all that is false. But you must determine in this moment, right now, because we don’t have time, we don’t know how much time we have. You must determine in this moment, right now, that your life is for this Light. And if you can’t do it, face it that you can’t do it. Face that which stops you. If you’re going to participate in the journey of this Light in this Universe, then you cannot do it half-heartedly. Either your life belongs to God, or it doesn’t belong to God. It is binary. So, first, get rid of the ultimate stupidity, stupidity which is that God will come to become in service to you or become an assistant to you. That is the realm of completely nonsensical and fake spirituality. Throw that away! Secondly, throw away all your sheepishness about “oh, yes, but you know, sometimes, and then this, and then that happened and then like that and…” [gestures ‘throw away’ with arm] Off with it! In this moment, at least you can make that binary determination to belong to God. The future we will see in the future. But it is important for you now to bow down inwardly and dedicate your life to this Light. Otherwise, that which is coming after this will be completely just words, it won’t have any Light, it won’t have any strength. Because the discovery of the Ultimate Reality is not for you as a ‘me’. It is for you empty of ‘me’. So, right now, become empty of yourselves. And if you don’t feel like you’re empty, then bring that which stops you from being empty into your own Light. So that it may burn. A useful question here is that: “I may claim that I am empty and fully available to God, but what would I not do for God?” What are those islands that we have kept safe for ourselves? Where we don’t want God’s interference. So, if God says, for example: “Throw that away!”, “No, no, no, no, not that!” Shine your Light on those things. Don’t shy away from them, don’t come into any sort of Advaita denial about them, don’t suddenly say: “But I am the Self alone, and you know, all of these things are Maya” - which is just an avoidance. You can only speak those words if you truly live them your entire life, not just when you’re asked to let go. Ask yourself: “Who have I not forgiven yet?” And if God said: “But first you must forgive all your brothers and sisters”. This simple instruction – would you be able to follow? Also ask yourself: “What are you hiding?” In the comfortable corner of your mind, believing that God’s Light does not extend till there, and this can be a nice secret for you. It is these blind spots which may become areas of your grievances, your shame, all of those things which the mind traps you with. You may feel like by hiding you’re saving yourself, actually you are only destroying yourself. Who have you not forgiven? What are you still hiding? And simply put: what do you think you know? What are you right about? The highest piece of knowledge in your intellect is not even the worst piece of rubbish in the Universe. I’m literally saying [smiles]. You may strive your entire live to pick up the highest pieces of knowledge and you would have gone back a garbage collector. That’s it. Not going to allow you to waste your life like this. Your understanding in your head is a load of garbage. The quicker you learn this, recognize this, think of it, and throw it away, the better it is for you. If there’s an aversion to anything that this Life may unfold for you, if it is God’s will that you end up, or what you take yourself to be ends up a naked beggar on the streets, not knowing where the next nozzle of food will come from – would you be okay with that? If you were asked to serve as a humble servant, but you lived in God’s Light…if the entire world you took to be is just the scum of the Earth, but you lived in God’s Light – would it still be worth it or not? Without this, all our talk about: “oh, my life is for you, Father, my life is for you, Guruji, my life is for you, God” – is just lip service. So now you are in a bigger trouble than you were before you came to the discovery of God. [smiles] In a bigger trouble than you were before you came to the discovery of God because before you came to the discovery of God, you could say: “I don’t know what God wants. I’m happy to follow God’s will, but I can’t find this God. I want to surrender my will to God’s will, but where is God?” But now you’re in a big trouble because you don’t have this excuse left. God is right here, in your Heart, as your very Presence.
