Another Consciousness and the Absolute

Each one does his own work, but each one has his own quality.

 

Here are some tests to know whether you are on the spiritual path or not.

Investigate what you are thinking of during the twenty -four hour day. You say

you got the knowledge of the Self, you have collected the knowledge of the Self;

nevertheless, during the whole day what are you discussing inside, in you mind

flow? You are discussing all your daily affairs. You don't discuss the way the

discussions are going on here about you identity, about what you are; that you

don't discuss. Is there anybody who discusses with himself only about the Self?

You are according to the quality of the intensity of you thinking.

 

I am also restless. The type of pain and misery I am now undergoing,

nobody else in my place experiences in the world. This talk is not for the

consumption of all.

 

Beyond the realm of consciousness arising from the body there is no

experience of consciousness. I want to talk about that state beyond the realm

of consciousness. There are millions of names, but all these names relate to

the objective world. Even the title of "Parents" is also due to the bodies; as

a result of the body this title of "parents" has arisen. I want you to

understand clearly that without the bodily consciousness there is no Brahman;

the Brahman is because the consciousness is and consciousness is because the

body is. The body consciousness is the result of the five elements. Body

consciousness and the world are not different; they are identical. Ponder over

this in this fashion.

 

What ever is grasped by the mind and intellect is this objective world.

Although you have heard these talks, still you will be carried away by you

conceptual experiences.

 

This body is made of food, but what is you true identity? It is something

like the body having completely adjusted, like the grains, which you have stored

being completely adjusted. This is food only. This is the food body and the

consciousness. The Absolute is your true identity. I have given you some

indication of the Absolute. You have not surpassed the consciousness, and

consciousness is the first stop. Total consciousness is not the end.
