A.

The two m I I o through the That is wrong!

When you are not compassionate with your own self,

How can you be compassionate with others?

Easiest is Advaita tells you,

I am the knower of the laziness.

I am not laziness.

I am the knower of this joy.

I am the knower of the sorrow.

I am the knower of the laziness.

I am the knower of feverishness in the mind to go here and go there.

You just break conditioning.

Start breaking conditioning.

That is your bondage.

Nothing else is your bondage.

It's very simple.

Gather the courage to break your old conditioning.

You will feel like a bird.

You will know the knower always knows whether this is right or wrong.

The mind confuses you.

The mind brings up,

Oh this raga and that duisha.

Knower never brings up rangas and duishas.

Knower is very silent,

Very quiet.

You will know when you are in the knower.

You know the knowingness is a field of silence.

What can be a greater truth than silence?

There is no greater truth.

Not joy,

Not happiness,

Not laughter,

Not drama,

Not nothing.

I should do this.

I should not do this.

These are all bondages of the mind.

Beyond the field of right and wrong,

Beyond that field you have to go.

I am there.

I am here to meet you there.
