What Do You Find Without the Mind?

Guru’s Grace Is All There Is Then we hear something like ‘The Master’s grace is all there is’ and we feel like ‘if I start to believe that then may be then things will get better’. Then the ‘all there is part’ goes away, already. When we say ‘Gurus’s grace is all there is’ it is empty of all other judgement. Specially the judgement of better or worse. [Silence] What happens to the idea of decision making then? Whatever is, is Master’s grace. What about doing and not doing? And even now it will seem like ‘may be this is the better way to live’. It is so pervasive… these ideas. Will it be better for me to surrender? So this ‘better’ although it sounds like very simple sounding word, humble even [Smiles] has got us by our throats. Will it be better to be rid of ‘better’? I don’t know. [Smiles] I am just saying look. Because if I judge it in the same paradigm then we are falling into the same trap again. So I am just bringing something to your attention. And again I am saying, two concerns that are apparent to all of us is that one - it is better for whom? Usually the non-existent fictional ‘me’ sitting behind that. And second is even if we take the mythical me to be reality, do we really know what is better? Like do you really know it would be much better for you to have a lot of money? Do you really know? Do you really know that it would be much better for you to have a great relationship?\nBetter by which standards and for whom? We don’t even really know and this might sound strong to some of you. Forget about it, I don’t want to bother anybody but do we really know what is better, life or death? It can sound absurd. But do we really know? So these structures that we have in our intellect, this is what I mean that these boxes of opposites which seem to have us entwined in this chasing of this mythical finality called Freedom… Do you really know you are not free? Or you are [free]? [Smiles] Do any of these perspectives and paradigms really fit you, your reality or are all they all for the fictional one? And today I am not even proposing that it is better to be rid of the fictional one. Do I really know? I do not know. [Smiles]
