Where Do We Go For Meaning
When we stop relying on the mind's constant search for meaning and trust the heart's patient presence, we find Truth that cannot be captured by conceptual understanding.
Where do we go for meaning is one quesHon, is the main quesHon. We have one voice which is constantly trying to propose meaning to us, constantly no? There is another voice which is not proposing in this way. So when we leave the first voice then that voice it’s easier to hear, because the second voice is very paHent, play as you want, play as long as you like, but I am here for you if you decide to stop playing and troubling yourself. So the instant you drop the reliance on the first one it is fully apparent to you. Now what, okay this is an important Hp for all of you which is that what insight you will get many Hmes, it is not decipherable to your head, so don’t try to squeeze into your head. Learn to accept the indecipherable in your life. A simpler way of saying that is, accept the mystery, so don’t try to decode everything conceptually. When you go to your Heart you may not always have answers which you can spell out, but you will always find Truth. This is the difference between Truth and answers. In fact, don't ever try to squeeze it into your head. It will only become adulterated contaminated. [Silence] If the flow of Satsang was happening this way (from) heart to head to mouth you see it would be very contaminated. It just, just, heart to beard to mouth [Laughter] or the nose to beard to mouth [Laughter again]. [Silence] We feel like without the head our heart cannot use our mouth, it cannot use our body, but it can. It is the seat of the Supreme Intelligence which runs this enHre Universe, what is one mouth. You may say, “But to speak I have to use the mind Father.” Why? The Intelligence is not strong enough without your mind, to use your mouth! [Chuckling]
