Consciousness and the Absolute

Maharaj: There is only the slightest touch of " I Amness" left. Henceforth,

people will be able to have only Darshan; there is not much chance of talking.

Whatever faith you entertain about me, that will stabilize in you. It is not

the Darshan, but your faith in the Darshan.

 

Unusual, rare, strange, astonishing, non-phenomenal; this is the kind of

benefit you will receive. The ultimate faith in the Self. Total faith.

Whatever you see, don't see it as a mere body. There are truly the limbs of

that highest, imperceptible principle that is expressing itself. These limbs

have reached the highest.

 

Q: I am convinced.

 

M: Now that conviction is so strong for you that it can never be broken. It is

total, complete, imperishable.

Maharaj: The core of this consciousness is knowingness, to know " I Am". It is

not a personality, not an individual. It is total manifestation. Beingness is

there, it fills everything.

 

Nevertheless, this quality " I Am" is the result of the material, objective

body. In the seed the whole tree is latent; in the droplet " I Am" all three

worlds are squeezed in.

 

The highest state is the state of a jnani. The first step is to be that

droplet. In the process of knowing that droplet, you are out of it. And that is

a jnani. A jnani is not obsessed by any calamities or any problems, because he

has transcended the " I Am" principal. He watches the play as a witness.

 

Now, understand clearly. This "droplet" of knowingness is a result of the

food essence body; in understanding it, you are out of it. If this last step is

taken, knowing that I the Absolute, am not that "droplet", the consciousness, it

has to happen only once. Here is no more involvement with the play of the

consciousness. You are in a state of no return, the eternal state.

 

Whatever you think of as spiritual knowledge was gained in the realm of

consciousness; such knowledge is merely a burden upon you head and it is going

got add more misery. It is nothing more than spiritual jargon. This " I Amness"

is the very source of all misery.

 

Are you in such a position that you cannot employ any words to express you

Self? When I answer your questions at such great length, you should be reduced

to a quietude out of which no words can come.

 

I expound this knowledge completely and thoroughly. Have you the courage to

accept it?

 

If you have really understood what I have told you, you need not come

again. Do not try to tell these things to all and sundry, just don't speak of

this elsewhere.
