You are the subject.
You have to recognise,
In fact,
Go beyond.
There is no subject and there is no object.
It is a field.
It is a field and this understanding can come only if you really start doing self-exploration.
Don't believe Ekta blindly.
Start doing self-exploration.
Recognise there is somebody watching you.
Look through those eyes at Ekta.
Even watching the mind say yes and no.
That is behind the mind.
It is the witness.
It is right there,
Right now.
It doesn't need to be manufactured or created.
It was always there.
It was always there.
Your dream state is nothing but projection because of my collected karma samskaras and my karma samskaras are nothing else but my memory.
My memory box is a collection of the impressions in my own mind.
And those are projected out as a dream.
We already took this example yesterday,
Right?
Chakubar example,
Do you remember?
Intense meditation.
Ramana says no meditation,
No activity.
Intense meditation is just being.
Be in that knowingness,
In that witness.
You are that.
At the most we can know contemplation.
The volunteers can put on a meditation where these same words are repeated.
Which helps you to just go to the witness.
Again,
It is not a meditation.
It is contemplation.
Recognising who I am.
That's it.
Just be there.
Whatever impression you want to strengthen,
You can strengthen by your imagination.
Whatever impression you want to get rid of,
You can get rid of by recognising you are the witness and you are always untouched.
It totally depends on you.
Whether you want to continue with your dreaming or you want to recognise who you are.
And it's okay.
Please be compassionate.
Right now the deliciousness of this world might be at its peak in your life.
You might be in the honeymoon phase of samsara.
Obviously,
You will find it very difficult to break out of the honeymoon phase and it's fine.
It's okay.
Be compassionate with yourself.
When you come to the old age of the samsara,
Probably then is your time and we will get there.
This knowledge is there.
Advaita is not going anywhere.
Ramana is not going anywhere.
But once you've tasted it,
There is no going back.
You cannot step back even one.
One step also you cannot take back.
Now that you've heard it,
Now you are caught up.
Now there is only one way and whether you take baby steps to go there,
You crawl to go there or you run or you just take a rocket.
Totally depends on how ready you are to drop the deliciousness of the samsara and just be.
Just be.
Whatever is bound to come to this body-mind complex in this whatever 60,
70,
80,
90 years of your life will come.
Even if you get enlightened at 40.
From 40 to your 80 or 90,
You will still continue in the body.
But now you will continue as the witness.
So nothing touches you.
Initially,
Even if it touches you,
It's like a ripple on water.
How long does a ripple remain on water?
It comes and it goes like that.
And slowly,
Slowly it stops touching you.
It stops bothering you.
Not that you will have a different magical world around you.
No,
No.
Same world is going to continue.
Same wife,
Same husband.
No exchange program,
Okay?
That thing is going to change.
Everything is going to remain as it is.
You will stop identifying with the wrong body-mind intellect ego and you will know who you are.
The label,
I will shift from the wrong place to the right place.
That's all that happens at enlightenment.
Nothing magical about it.
Nothing mystical about it.
Not restricted to VIPs.
Not restricted to saints.
Not restricted to people who have some special powers.
No.
All stories.
Very simple.
It is very straightforward.
People who couldn't understand it for them,
They said,
Okay,
You do idol worship.
Then you start looking at the God is within.
People forgot.
The Sanskrit shokas,
Even today,
Say,
I am bringing this God out in front of me.
I am putting him in this idol of Krishna or Jesus or this book.
And then I am worshipping that idol and feeling grateful to that idol and now at the end of the puja,
I am putting the idol back in.
Putting my God back in.
That is the true meaning of worship.
People forgot all this.
People got stuck in that idol outside and said,
My Krishna is better than your Jesus and your Allah.
And then they started fighting with each other.
The meaning was lost.
Do you see that?
This is just an example.
So everything that you do,
The mantras,
Techniques were given to people who could not understand this.
They just could not grasp it.
They were so lost in maya that this seemed like unfathomable territory for them.
That is why a substitute was given to them.
Okay,
For some time,
At least calm your mind down.
And we all went through those stages.
Fantastic.
You went through those stages,
But now graduate.
Don't hold on to those stages.
Recognise the true symbolism.
God is here.
Guru is here.
Self is here.
I am the pure witness.
And you are home.
It's that simple.
