Music Bell.

Right now,

You are speaking to me.

Smita is speaking to Ekta.

Okay?

Now can you see the knower of Smita,

Seeing Smita nod her head and Smita's looking through her eyes?

Who's knowing?

Isn't there a knower who knows that said,

That Smita said no?

Aren't you knowing?

Yes,

I'm knowing.

But I don't know it consciously.

I mean,

That witness is lost.

Can I do this?

You're just saying that you know and then you're saying the witness is lost.

So who told me this?

Okay.

That is how we regularly live,

Right?

There is no actual difference.

No.

Advaita says,

You were already enlightened.

You have just forgotten that.

Okay.

So this was just the first leg of coming to the knower that we did.

Now be there in the knowingness.

Consciously be aware that you are looking through those eyes.

Consciously be aware how you are sitting or standing.

Consciously be aware how is the neck because you're bending down too much.

Isn't it hurting?

Consciously be aware of the object,

Objects in front of you.

Yeah.

Now go back to that knower who knows all this.

Okay.

And that knower,

Does it have a limit?

Is it only limited to this head or to the eyes?

It feels big.

Ah,

Exactly.

It feels bigger than myself actually.

Ah.

So that's what.

So how big?

Is it only limited till the root?

I don't know.

So you cannot establish a border.

You cannot establish a limit.

It is unlimited.

Because you can't establish.

Only pure experience.

Advaita goes only with pure experience.

Advaita does not go with because I am a guru and I am saying so,

So you believe me so.

That is not the path of Advaita.

Okay.

Advaita says we are going with what I can experience right now in this body-mind complex.

Pure experiencing only.

Yeah.

So we are experiencing,

We can sense this knower like a field of knowingness which is unlimited.

I cannot find the limit.

I cannot find the border.

And this knowingness is there with me all the time.

In the waking state it is there.

In the dreaming state it is there.

That's why you say,

Oh God,

I had so many dreams.

Who knew?

Okay.

Annoyingness knows.

Aum.
