Music You are already there.

You have to just become aware that the noir is there.

Now you are speaking to me.

What's your name?

Amuda.

Now Amuda is speaking to me.

Are you aware there is a noir observing Amuda nod her head and say yes in the mind.

Can you see the thought yes also in the mind.

Yeah.

So you know the noir.

So you are there.

You are not different from Ramana Maharishi.

It's not that he has some special access and you don't.

Both of you have the same access.

Both of you already are there.

Yes.

Ramana Maharishi is just become a Vairagi.

So he doesn't get tempted by the mind and the world you know to leave this noir and go out and do the drama.

He's lost that passion for these things.

So he is very comfortably seated in the noir.

In us what happens we get tempted by people,

By situations,

By things,

By thoughts,

By emotions and we get lured into the world and then of course we lose sight of the noir.

Yeah.

It is actually the noir only that forgets himself and becomes the mind and gets involved in the drama and then he finally realizes oh I am the noir and then comes back.

Yes there is no difference between the noir and the mind.

There is no difference between the noir and the body.

Similarly there is no difference between the noir and the world.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So this is not the end.

You don't stop here.

You now date this knowingness into your life whatever you do.

You see this is not different from this knowingness.

This knowingness is all that I perceive of this Jagat,

Of this world.

I don't know if really there is this object out here.

I am seeing a tree outside the window.

Okay.

Do I really know if the tree exists or not?

If I feel it I see it.

If I feel it.

Okay if you feel it even if you feel it.

Let's assume you are feeling the bark of the tree.

What are you feeling?

Feeling the bark,

The harsh,

The rough bark.

Think again.

The sense of that uh that all you are feeling is roughness.

Roughness.

Roughness.

Off also is wrong because the off is an assumption of the bark of the tree is an assumption.

Really in pure experience of mine I just experience the roughness.

That's all.

Yes there is just that perception of touch.

Is this perceiving different from knowing?

I perceive and I know it because I perceive I know it.

At the same time right?

Yes.

Perceiving is knowing.

There is no difference between perceiving and knowing.

It is the same thing.

So this person that I am seeing in front of me and touching and hearing and perceiving this person.

So perceiving is made up of a stuff called knowingness.

Right.

So this person has come up in the ocean of knowingness.

He will stay for a while,

Play for a while and he will dissolve in this knowingness.

Same for things,

Same for situations.

They come up in this ocean of knowingness.

They play for a while and they go away.

It just change your perspective of looking at things.

You see what I'm saying?

Yeah.

Perceiving is not different from knowing.

Sensing is not different from knowing.

Thinking is not different from knowing.

Feeling is not different from knowing.

So basically everything is knowingness.

Everything is arising in this knowingness,

Playing in this knowingness and dissolving into the knowingness.

The knower and it's knowingness.

The ocean of knowingness.

If you can go to there,

Fantastic.

You've done it.

You've mastered Advaita.

Thank you.
