What Is So Important About What Your Mind Is Saying?

Do you really feel that you can squeeze what you have found just now, into a bundle of flesh? Do you really feel like you can squeeze what you are discovering - which is all there Is, both are manifest and the un-manifest - into some story about yourself? You cannot do it! [Do you really feel like you can squeeze what you are discovering…] Into some specialness? Into some notion of Freedom or being enlightened? Is the Absolute that small that you want to own it… The non-existent ‘me’ wants to own it? We must stop all of this. Just stop, it is all absurd. So that was [Smile] the let's say first one. Then part two is about just the mind, just you reporting back from here saying ‘but the mind is so strong, but the mind is now saying.’ and the minute I go into… my mind says.’ I am saying ‘Are you Aware now?’ You are saying ‘my mind says.’ Which one do you think I am interested in? Aeer having been oppressed by this mind and only through the grace of Guruji [Sri Moojiji] to find it to be so powerless, do you feel like I am really interested in what your mind has to say? In fact, my question to you is, you have to stop being interested. It [mind] is your oppressor, this is not your friend, as Guruji says ‘not yet.’ When I say ‘Are you Aware now’ - What is your discovery? Most of you tell me what your mind says. What is so important about what your mind is saying? If it was so cool you would be happier? [Smile] You would not be here. You would not be in Satsang if your mind was so full of contentment and happiness. It is the voice of constriction, of limitation, of making you out to be this measly thing, which You are not. So what if your mind says ‘my mind says…, my mind says…’ so what? Is Freedom about just now tracking, what the mind is saying about this? I need to have some narra%ve…, is it like that? So forget this about ‘my mind is saying.’ I do not want to know what your mind is saying. What are You saying? And sometimes you say ‘But for me it is clear.’ Then what is the problem? So we might not find excuses to listen to the mind in the construct of ‘Oh, my mind is saying this.’ It is just a subtle way of getting belief. Believing its constructs by saying…. it is like those conversations, like [Clicking of fingers] ‘I do not even want to mention that about that’ [Smile] while mentioning it very, very sneaky. ‘I am not even getting into that part where you did this to me’ and that is how we argue sometimes, isn't it? So you made the acquisition but you have hidden it under this very convenient construct. When you say ‘my mind is saying’ (most of the time) it is that you want to expose that you are believing some nonsense that the mind is saying. If it is irrelevant to you why would it be relevant to say ‘my mind is saying’? And what, what could your mind say that will surprise any of us? It is going to be about the four topics of life… [relationships, money, body, spiritual seeking] about one of those things. What else can your mind say? It is going to be about the non-existent protagonist, central character who does not exist. What else can the mind say? We played this game now for ten years. We can keep playing it for ten more lifetimes, if you keep going to the mind saying ‘my mind is saying, my mind is saying.’ How does it matter what your mind is saying, If it is not about ‘you’? This is like saying I put on news channel, some Al Jazeera and they are filming in Qatar or something like that and it is like ‘what is, what they are talking in that neighbourhood Qatar.’ Are you planning to go there? You have some relatives living there? Do you have anything to do with that neighbourhood? No. [Smile] So then why bother… that how much is the gallon of milk for in that neighbourhood? How does… [Smile] what is it about? Do not fall for this trick. There is a big difference between when we say expose it in Satsang and the excuse to just buy to the construct of what the mind is saying just in the guard of exposing. To expose in Satsang implies that we take something, which is so oeen believed that it becomes like a condition ‘that I cannot let go of it’ and all this is nonsense of course, you as Consciousness can let go of anything. But when you buy into this notion, then sometimes when it escapes from your mouth, especially in front of Master and Sangha, then you yourself hear the absurdity which you are saying and the belief gets drained out of it. Because many times in the presence of Sangha you notice that ‘you are completely not what your mind is representing.’
