"Only that final spark is to be applied

.

 

 

 

M: Earlier the knowledge used to overwhelm me, and I would to

invite people to listen to the talks, but that time is gone now. Now, I don't

encourage people, I don't keep people here for very long. I give them a dose of

knowledge and send them away.

 

 

 

It is most incredible in the guise of that little so-called birth,

everything has happened. Not only the "I" Amness", but the whole manifest

world has appeared. Is it believable?

 

Actually I am not but I feel that I am because of the incident of

that birth.

 

 

 

When you get this knowledge you will realize that knowledge of this

world and consciousness are not even worth your spit. You can spit it out; it

will be unworthy. I appeal to you with my folded hands, don't get into this

spirituality. Whatever knowledge and concepts you are having only that final

spark is to be applied. You have everything, the raw material is already with

you, the symbol of birth and death is already removed.

 

 

 

The factual state of affairs is open very clear, but nobody wants to

look at it.

 

Translator: He has preference for simple devotion to God. In people

with devotion, even with limited intellect, the intellect is not making

mischief, and it is here.

 

 

 

M: This is the place where the intellect gets annihilated. I was

created and possessed by the five elemental ghost, but having stabilized in the

Parabrahman, I know what it is and I am out of it.

 

 

 

Now, just see how I am possessed by these elemental essences. I am

addicted to chewing tobacco; despite the advice of doctors not to do it I am

still doing it. That is because I am possessed by the essence of these

elements.

 

 

 

Space is indicative of the world, in that space the world is. Space

is like an incipient world. The world is not there, but the material of the

world is there. From there I start feeling " I Am" With air the movement is

there, with fire the heat, with water all seed and everything else, and because

water the taste is there.

 

 

 

But you are dispossessed of these elements because of the Saguru.

Satguru {Parabrahman} is all love for knowingness. Because of your association

with this Satguru, it means illumination for you.

 

 

 

I don't feel like talking at all, I want to go into a sort of

silence. My present talks, if they are really understood, require no more

discipline of sadhana. They should click right there and then.

 

 

 

At one time there were a number of saints of the highest order. Why

was it, that suddenly there were so many saints at the period?

 

 

 

M: At that time the devotion was so strong that the very object of

meditation would take a complete shape in front of the meditator. Because of

that devotional state, the whole atmosphere was imbued with that devotion, now

it is only with the intellect. People are not going to accept anything blindly,

because their intellect has become more subtle, like space. They are going to

pick and choose to analyze everything.
