Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 Prior to Consciousness 4/23/80 Maharaj: Be friendly with your undifferentiated state, your true Self. There was never any division, but you are under the delusion that you are not one with it. I have understood my true nature: it is always alive, but not in the way everybody thinks. I don't wish to live in this life by the knowledge of the subjective world or the experiences of the subjective world. People are telling me that I must live; I don't want to live like that. I am alive only because of my own nature, It is there, the existence is there, I am there only because of that existence. My true state, which is whole, undifferentiated, is beyond birth and death. I am never bound by my body and mind. I am limitless. I, the Absolute, never had any experience that I was alive, and now I am experiencing that I am alive, and all this trouble I am experiencing through this I-am alive experience. Why has this come? My Guru has explained correctly to me that the "I" consciousness appeared and these experiences started, so one can see the true nature of the "I" consciousness, go to the source, find out from where this "I " comes. Q: What is the difference if I am sick and unconscious and Maharaj is sick and unconscious? M: I know my true nature and I am That, which you are limited to your body and mind, therefore you might feel that you are sick now, so let the doctor come - he might do something. All those are notions you will have, but I don't have them. I am sleeping in my true nature, whereas you have taken a blanket and are sleeping. Is it not true that when you are sick you are thinking only of you sickness: Why have you entered this field? When I talk to you, don't try to understand from the body-mind identity. Your true state is always there; it has not gone anywhere. Although you did not know it was there, and now you know it is there, you have done nothing. It is always there. On my true, whole, homogeneous state just a small ripple appeared, the news came, "I Am" That news made all the difference, and I started knowing this; but now I have known my true state, so I understand my true state first, and then I understand that this ripple is coming and going on my true state. While, in your case, you take interest in the ripple and don't take interest in your true state. Out of my existence as the Noumenon has come this state of the phenomenal. The homogeneous understands the play of the attributes, The projection of the mind, but the play, the projection of the mind, cannot understand the homogeneous. The moment it tries to understand it, it becomes one with it. Everybody is trying to understand the meaning of all this. you are not understanding because you have all the swaddling clothes of "I-am-this-or-that." Remove them. The ultimate point of view is that there is nothing to understand, so when we try to understand, we are only indulging in acrobatics of the mind. Whatever spiritual things you aspire to know are all happening in this objective world, in the illusion; all you activities, material and spiritual, are in this illusion. All this is happening in the objective world, all is dishonesty, there is no truth in this fraud. Q: Last night, during meditation, that was a pure state of "I-I". I understood it to be recognition of the Self? M: Is that the true meaning of you Self? Spit it out. What ever you have understood you are not. What are you getting lost in concepts? You are not what you know, you are the knower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
