Yes,

Yes,

Yes.

But again then don't get into that thing that the Rama is inside me.

Then the Rama inside me does not like the Jesus inside you and that's where all the divide comes up and then the fights come up.

That is why I steer clear from these words and stick to simple words,

Knowingness,

Intelligence or call it awareness,

Consciousness,

Steer clear of these words because then that's where the difference comes up and then,

Oh there's Rama inside me so there is a soul inside me and then now ego has taken another form.

Now this is the most difficult form to break,

The yoga maya.

You will take 20,

30,

40,

50 years of your life to break it.

You might kick the bucket and never be able to break this.

So don't go there only,

Make it very simple.

My experience is what?

Do I see any Mr.

Rama inside?

No,

I don't see Rama.

Do I see Krishna inside?

I don't see any Krishna.

Do I see Jesus inside?

No,

I don't see any Jesus.

What do I really know?

I know there is an awareness,

A witness.

You want to give it a name?

Call him Mr.

Sakshi.

Nice name.

Yeah,

Sakshi means witness.

There is just a witness inside me and it's the same witness in him,

In her,

In her,

In her,

In everybody.

Now the witness that I experience,

Does it have a limit?

Does it have a border?

It doesn't.

It's limitless.

It is infinite.

How many infinite witnesses can there be?

How many infinite witnesses?

Only one.

Witnesses like the space.

How many infinite spaces can there be?

Only one.

Oh,

We are all one field of witnessing.

We are one single field called the witness consciousness.

The witness consciousness itself has condensed into little,

Little minds.

That mind has taken on that false identification of I and has given the body the form.

These forms of body and mind are like waves in the water of the ocean.

They've come up for a while and then they will dissolve here only for a while.

Then after some time down the river,

Because of certain currents,

The same waves come up.

They play for a while.

Again they dissolve.

Again they keep going and the story continues.

What is the essence?

What is everything made up of?

The same water.

The same Brahman consciousness.

The same witnessing.

The same awareness.

The same Chiddakasha.

The same Purnata,

Fullness.

The same Shunyata,

Zeroness,

Nothingness.

If you address it by a neutral name,

You will not get into mine and yours.

Because again that is another thing the ego holds on to.

You saw where I'm going?

Let go,

Let go,

Let go.

There is a oneness.

That oneness itself is this consciousness.

We are one single field of consciousness.
