You Bring the Joy

One question is [reading from the chat] : “When you say, ‘Allow things to come and go’, it means to be consciously and mentally aware.” Consciously and mentally aware; we can delve into that a bit. “It means to be consciously and mentally aware that you can see these things do come and go, so it requires continuous confirmation from yourself that we can now see these things.” It’s a bit simpler than that, you see. It’s like whatever you hear from my mouth next, don’t bother with it at all, you see. Now, if you start thinking about now I am seeing this thing, and not seeing this thing, am I really hearing it, not hearing it, you see, then you are latching onto more things. There is a deeper intelligence with you, within you, you see, to which this instruction is very clear. Let go of my next sentence. I might speak anything—don’t bother with it. Now, do we have to really get into, ‘Okay, so this is what happens, this is what doesn’t’t happen.’ No. It’s very simple. So, stay away from any mental complexity. The pointing is very simple. Just let go, you see. If you did not let go, now let go [laughs]. That’s it. No report card, no checking on whether it’s working or not, not even self- realization, freedom, emptiness, awareness, consciousness, all the‘ ness ’ also, let them go. Most of these ‘nesses’ are just creating messes in your brain. So many ‘nesses’: knowingness, awareness, consciousness, lovingness, kindness. We are trying to manage all this ‘ness’, you see, it’s all become a big mess [laughs]. Just let it go.
