03.27 Happiness -12 O Mind Be At Peace, This Will Also Pass

Saturday journey succeeds when mind says I am free from the daily chores,

Activities,

And the mind does not invite any agenda,

Either from the past or the future.

So means the mind is free from what you say the cause and effect or you can say the karma.

Karma means action.

So that state of the mind succeeds.

So when we are doing Mondays and Thursdays session,

That is all about,

Oh,

You are engaged in the karma,

The mind is wandering.

So we add a lot of steps to stop the wandering of the mind,

To purify the mind,

To focus the mind.

Now,

See,

The mind is totally free from all the activities,

From your personal,

Professional and social life.

It's a big challenge.

Why we need to do that?

Then only then only the mind is highly receptive for the right knowledge.

So Saturday session is all about.

Understanding.

So understanding,

Can you see understanding?

No,

It is knowledge.

What is that knowledge?

It is understanding.

So what is that knowledge and understanding?

It is a stream of.

Awareness in the mind.

It is a stream of awareness in the mind.

So it is the highest teaching.

It is the highest teaching.

So we have to be very clear about it.

Second point is the intellect is always says,

No,

I understand.

So I always tell people you are intelligent.

Yes.

Did you understand?

Yes.

Then why you have stress?

Normally more the intelligent people are more the stress they have.

So can you can you bring them together?

I'm very intelligent.

No,

No.

You can see that I'm very intelligent in my business,

But you know,

When it comes to my personal life.

Then I suffer.

So that does not mean intelligence.

You see that?

So Saturday is teaching from this text is the highest.

Why it is the highest teaching.

You don't have to perform any action from the mind.

So when you need not to perform any action,

It means the mind is totally focused in the field of awareness to bring a wave,

A stream of understanding.

The moment that understanding takes place in the mind,

Meditation and mindfulness is an effortless and a natural practice.

So here comes the sorrow.

So.

So now see,

It is one of the most beautiful words.

Those who have missed a simple thing.

They can go to the audio.

So 10th verse,

What we are studying and understanding,

It is the second chapter of the Ashtavakra Gita where the seeker is narrating his experiences of meditation.

What happened to him?

Why we are studying so that we can compare where we are.

So it all talks about the wisdom.

One of the most beautiful words.

So now see what he is experiencing.

He says,

Now I am aware that the entire world shines out of me.

What is our understanding?

I depend on the world.

I depend on my honey and still she or he makes me unhappy.

That example I give honey of that to make it understand you can replace that honey with any object in the world.

So what he says,

The world shines out of me and dissolves into me only.

Like the like first example,

The pot into the clay.

Second example,

The wave into water and the bangle shape into the gold.

What that mean that you have that experience?

What it means?

I have that experience.

Now see the first part.

Will you have any element of insecurity in you?

The entire world shines out of me.

Do will you have any insecurity?

You see,

The pointer is different.

That is how they have scribe these text.

There is a complete security.

There is a complete happiness.

There is a complete love and the wisdom that shines out of you.

That is the result of meditation.

So let us understand this.

All experiences takes place in the mind.

We point out understanding takes place where?

Inside the mind.

Where it is?

It is inside me and where is the real self?

It is also inside me.

Two things,

Two things.

Mind mind includes ego,

Intellect,

Knowledge.

Mind has four functions.

So whether you say it is intellect,

Whether you say the I mind one and I real self.

Two things.

Are you confused about the two?

That is why we have a problem.

So if once we are clear,

It is coming from the real I,

Not the not the ego I.

Let us take it mind,

Intellect and ego,

Ego I and the real I.

Two things.

So living with the master,

My master,

Swami Lakshman Dasji.

So he used to say,

Oh,

Mind,

Be at peace.

This will also pass.

What will pass?

Pleasure will pass.

Conflict will pass.

Problem will pass.

Fear will pass.

Don't we have an experience in our life that,

Whoa,

When we had problems in the past,

We were worried,

Depressed,

And now they have gone.

Now we have to understand why the my master used to say this.

It took me many years to understand.

Oh,

From here he has brought this phrase,

Oh,

Mind,

Be at peace.

This will also pass.

So there are two elements.

Both are inside.

First is ego I or intellect I.

And the second is the real I.

Let us understand the difference between the two.

Once you understand between the two,

You will understand this verse and oh,

Do I have that experience?

Wow.

I have reached to that state.

So this intellect I or ego I depends on real I.

What is real I?

It is pure consciousness.

But the real I is self existent,

Self luminous.

It is like the sun and the ego I is like a or intellect I is like a like a ray of light.

Intellect I borrows consciousness from the real self.

You see,

Both are inside.

That is the first statement we understand.

Now that real I gives the consciousness to the ego,

To the mind,

And then the mind shines.

Where?

Then the mind sees the David or Kate or Stephen.

That is how this intellect in the mind sees the world outside.

There is a whole room and there is a small hole.

So I peep into the world outside through my intellect.

So I peep.

I am limited.

I see the part of that knowledge and the rest is out of sight.

Internet is good women.

That much I see,

But I don't see the rest is excluded.

Do you see?

So sector point,

The real self is unchanging.

Today I am good.

Tomorrow I'll be bad.

Who perceives this?

It is intellect.

Why the intellect is limited or whether you see I mind or intellect,

Whatever you see,

It is limited.

So whatever is limited,

Can it have a right understanding or the right knowledge about my life?

The answer is no.

Again I'm repeating real self inside ego.

I insight ego is constantly changing.

Real self is unchanging.

Ego depends on the consciousness.

Real self is totally independent.

Who is better?

Now go to the phrase proverb.

My master,

You say,

Oh,

Mine be at peace.

Who is saying this?

Real self is saying ego,

Intellect,

Mind.

You have many projects.

You have a project of disliking that guy and that you will deal with after the meditation.

Real self is saying,

Oh,

Mind be at peace.

Why you are crazy?

Are you getting something?

I thought better to explain.

So I'm giving this interpretation from another text,

Which is also one of the most interesting texts.

And so you see that now,

Oh,

Mind be at peace.

This will also pass.

Real self do not understand by the language and communication.

It is of the nature of the knowledge.

So when I have a thought of liking and disliking pain and the pleasure,

It is a project of the intellect.

Real self says,

Oh,

Mind be at peace.

Both are in you.

Both are in you.

So real self says,

Oh,

Mind be at peace.

This will also pass.

Real self is beyond intellect,

Beyond ego,

Beyond or behind.

You can say behind the ego.

It is the intellect or the ego or the mind that says you are changing.

Why they say you are changing?

Because I identify myself with the body,

Outer conditions.

Real self says,

Oh,

Mind be at peace.

This will also pass.

First we are understanding the principle and then we'll go to this.

Why real self says,

Real self says to the ego and the mind,

Come on,

Why you are searching happiness outside?

It is not there.

Oh,

Mind be at peace.

This will also pass.

Can I start the communication between the real self and the mind?

24 by 7.

Forget about stress.

Forget about insecurity.

This is the beauty of his experience.

So now come to this sutra.

It says,

Verse,

Mattoho,

Matto vinirgatam vishvam,

Mayye vilayam me shati.

Now it says the world shines out of me.

How to connect that?

The real self perceives the clay only.

Intellect perceives the clay pot.

Are you getting it?

The real self perceives the real self that is only one in all of us.

The intellect perceives through a communication in a language.

It is limited.

So intellect says here is a Sam,

Here is a Stephen,

Here is a cat,

Here is a David,

Here is a Jerry.

Are you getting it?

Both are there.

Both are there.

So if the intellect to wails the real self,

Then this intellect perceives it has a limited perception.

It perceives the jewelries.

It perceives the ornaments,

Not the gold.

It perceives the clay pot,

Not the clay.

It perceives the waves,

Not an ocean.

But the cause of the wave is an ocean.

Cause of the clay pot is the clay.

The cause of all the ornaments is the gold.

Mano,

Matto vinirgatam vishvam,

Mayye vilayam me shati.

The world shines out of me.

What is that meaning?

Out of me.

Here me is the real self.

It is the pure consciousness.

It is the sun.

So that sun illumines the entire world.

Intellect says forget about it.

Ego says forget.

I am better than the people here.

I am a good teacher.

See so that is the intellect and the ego.

What the real self sees.

That sun shines everyone.

That consciousness shines everyone.

Look at the level of understanding and the knowledge that he is revealing.

This is his experience.

The world shines out of me.

How?

Mridhi kumbhau.

Like the,

From the clay,

The clay pot.

Look at that experience.

When you think of it.

So from today,

Start communicating with the two I that we have inside us.

The real self and the false self,

Which is ego I or mind I or intellect I.

Start communicating inside,

Communicating inside.

Real self says,

Oh mind,

Be at peace.

This will also.

Why?

Why you are crazy?

Why you are lazy in doing meditation?

See the point.

So there are two entities.

So now see real self shines like the clay in the clay pot.

Who sees the clay pot?

Ego or mind or intellect.

Who sees the waves?

The ego mind.

But real self perceives only one consciousness.

That is the journey of the self discovery of yoga and meditation.

Now see for a point,

For a moment,

Don't allow the mind,

Intellect and ego to recognize your name,

Shape,

Gender,

Form.

Don't you still see?

Are you not aware?

Still?

We are still aware.

What is that awareness?

It is pure consciousness.

Where is the real self?

It is here and now.

No,

I will do a lot of practices.

It takes me.

It took you 26 years.

So it may be.

So if your ego says,

You know,

I'm not that competent.

Now you see that your ego comes in between.

It creates a limitation.

No,

You know,

I'm not as committed as you.

So who knows it may take 50 years.

Ego.

Barrier.

You are creating a barrier to yourself.

And I have understood.

I have reached there.

That is another ego.

Mind expression,

Limitedness,

Limitedness.

See the another part that is very important between the relationship between the two.

The ego I realize.

Realize is conscious.

Means what?

Consciousness means what?

That consciousness knows itself and it also knows others.

That is the property of a consciousness.

Realize it is a matter.

Mind is a matter.

Thought is a matter.

What is the meaning of the matter?

Matter is inert.

How do we understand that inert matter cannot know itself and cannot know others.

But because it borrows the consciousness from the mind,

It borrows the consciousness from the real self by which it knows.

But the real self says,

OK,

Continue.

Now communicate.

Real self says,

Oh,

Mind,

Be at peace.

This will also pass.

At all times,

24 by 7.

First recognize our real nature and then say,

Come on,

Intellect and ego and the mind,

Let it work in the world.

Are you getting it?

Now see when it happens,

When the mind is constantly or ego or thought or whatever you say,

That false eye is constantly agitated.

Can you see the real self?

No.

If there is a cloud,

Can you see the sun?

No.

Now remember,

On Mondays and Thursdays,

You have to purify the mind.

There should be a natural focus.

The mind should not run after the things of the object in the world.

It should not create an attachment and detachment,

Likes and dislikes.

When that mind is transparent,

Then only it listens to the real self.

What the real self says,

Oh,

Mind,

Be at peace.

This will also pass.

Why you are crazy?

Why you feel that you are suffering?

You feel laziness.

It is created by the same mind.

Tell me who is lazy.

If your mind says you are lazy,

Let the house be on fire.

Then let me see if you are lazy or not.

See that,

See the understanding.

It is the mind that creates that.

A limitedness,

Limitedness.

Look at this mind.

You see,

The boss is very happy with you.

You make him a little more happy.

Why?

You know it.

Limitedness.

You depend on it.

You create your likes and dislikes,

Attachment and obsession.

This is what the real self is saying.

Why you create unnecessary attachment,

Detachment,

Anxiety,

Duality,

Conflict.

So real self is constantly communicating to the I.

It is saying inside,

Oh,

Mind,

Be at peace.

This will also pass.

But we don't listen.

Let me settle a score with you first.

So I have to hesitate myself first and then I hesitate others.

Real self is saying,

Oh,

Mind,

Be at peace.

This will also pass.

Can you start communicating?

Both are inside you.

Here and now,

You recognize me as a teacher.

Very fine ego.

Ego is still there.

The moment there is a separation,

The ego and the mind is working.

Drop that separation.

The real self comes in the front.

It says,

OK,

I'm in peace.

Mind,

Oh,

Mind,

Be in peace.

This will also pass.

What a beautiful experience.

We talk about meditation.

You know,

Still those vision of colors and all those stuff may come and go.

This is what the real experience in meditation is.

Matto,

Matto,

Vineragatam,

Vishvam,

Mayyevalayam,

Eshati,

Mradi kumbho,

Mradi kumbho.

Clay pot in the clay.

Mind be at peace.

This will also pass.

Jale vichchi,

Waves in the water.

Who see the waves?

Ego I.

Who sees the water?

Real self.

I'm just making you understand from the teaching of another great master who is Shankaracharya,

Who teaches in a very famous text for us in this tradition.

It is known as Upadesa Sahasrti.

Thousand teachings.

From there I brought there his explanation.

So what happens?

I need not to dissolve and break the clay pot to see the clay.

Last point.

Do you see?

I need not to break your body to see the consciousness in you.

It is here and now.

Do you see that?

Can you see that oneness?

The real self says,

Oh mind,

Be at peace.

This will also pass.

I don't need to melt the gold ornaments to see the gold.

It is visible here and now.

What is preventing me to see it?

It is my ego.

It is my mind.

Do you see that?

It is visible here and now.

Last point and then we will do.

My body is moving.

How can I meditate?

I have a lot of pain.

How can I meditate?

Oh mind,

Real self saying,

Oh mind,

Be at peace.

Why you create such limitations?

You are already in the state of meditation.

You are in the state of meditation 24 by 7.

So by complaining,

By being lazy,

By being crazy,

When you say that meditation is not,

I have a lot of challenges in the body and the mind.

All these expressions are from this I mind,

I intellect,

I ego.

Why the real self is already there behind.

So I create a barrier and a limitation that causes the problem in our life.

So we will study in this text where he comes to a conclusion.

Naham tada mokcho.

Naham,

Where there is no ego,

I-ness,

Separativeness,

Limitedness.

There is awakening and where there is ego,

There is a bondage.

There is a limitation.

There is a suffering.

There is an insecurity.

There is a fear.

There is an anxiety,

Etc.

So he is taking us to a deeper and deeper state.

Let us start our journey of meditation.

Going back,

We are already in meditation.

Eyes are closed.

Eyes are closed.

So eyes,

Eyes are a part of what?

It is a part of the body.

Who recognizes intellect?

Look at it.

See the in the real self recognizes only the entire body and then it will not recognize even the body.

It will only recognize the matter.

What a beauty of this verse.

So you are aware of the body.

Why?

Pay attention.

Why you are aware of the body?

In the beginning,

We said,

That is how we progress.

We said,

You know,

I have to make my body comfortable to,

To,

To,

To meditate.

But now I see the comfortable coming from the real self.

Why it is coming from the real self?

The role of the mind should go.

That is the meaning of emptiness of the mind.

Looking at the body,

Awareness of the body.

Just say that and go into the understanding.

Oh,

Mind,

Be at peace.

This will also pass.

My master repeats,

Used to repeat this phrase,

I would say thousands of times during the day.

So looking inside the head,

Looking inside the head,

What do you see?

Space.

Very good.

We'll follow the same couple of same steps,

But we will have a deeper insight into these steps when I say being comfortable.

So you see the difference between the real eye and the false eye.

False eye perceives there is a neck joint.

Real self perceives the matter.

What is made up of matter?

In between,

When we see the neck joint,

We experience sensation,

Comfortable steadiness.

Where this experience lives,

It lives in the mind.

And then I used to say go deeper.

Again so we approach near to the real self when you are aware of the space.

There is nothing to be done in meditation.

Who is doing who does mind ego.

So as long as you do it,

You cannot transcend the mind.

What is required?

Not action,

But knowledge,

Understanding,

Awareness,

Shoulder joints.

The real self knows,

OK,

You're looking at the shoulder joint.

My mind very good.

Keep looking.

Do you experience sensation,

Comfortable and steadiness?

Good.

Then the real self says,

Oh,

Mind,

Be at peace.

You are already in peace.

That is the way.

So when the mind continues to work hard and tries to make the body adjusting,

No,

I have a lot of pain.

Today I have a laziness.

And this is coming from the mind.

So mind creates a network.

And what is that network of delusion leads to ignorance that prevents us to see the real self.

Look at the entire body and all the joints of the body.

One after the other.

Only with one point of awareness that it is the intellect which is separated my body.

And that is why it is looking at all the joints.

You simply understand that.

What is that understanding?

It is a point of awareness.

Then the second experience comes.

That is also limited sensation,

Comfortable steadiness.

Let the mind absorb into the space.

It has started looking what is behind itself.

What happens?

Emptiness.

Do I need to empty,

Make an effort?

It will never happen.

Both are true.

By practice,

It happens.

Without practice,

It also happens.

Depends on what level of a seeker you are.

Very good.

Being comfortable now,

Being carefree.

So what is being carefree?

It is nothing but awareness of a clay in the clay pot.

Thoughts,

Feeling,

Sensation all comes from the one mind.

See that?

So I am using the same verse to be carefree.

Ornaments of gold?

No.

I see the ornament.

I see the gold,

Not the ornament.

Or I can say my false eye perceives the ornaments and the waves and the clay pot.

But my real eye at the same time,

Here and now perceives the clay,

The water and the gold.

That is the real meaning of being carefree.

Carefree means what?

Free from all the cares.

Who cares me?

The mind and the intellect or the ego.

All three,

Four together.

It is one.

What is this false eye?

How it perceives by limited perception.

It peeps.

Why?

It borrows the consciousness from the real self.

And now you have separated.

Real self says,

Oh,

My,

Be at peace.

This will also pass.

Done.

You are already there.

You are already there.

Look at the teachings of our masters.

They have tried us.

Every means to teach us.

So let me integrate another teaching of seer and the seen.

Whatever is known by me is known by the mind.

What cannot be known by the mind is the real self.

Why?

Because the real self is the real knower,

Seer,

Illuminator.

Many words are used.

How simple.

Let us see that.

Look at the entire world.

Look at the entire world.

So when the mind,

Intellect,

Ego perceives the world,

It perceives,

Oh,

I'm sitting in a room.

I'm meditating.

Here is my body.

Where are the different items?

I'm listening to this guy and a long list of thoughts,

Feelings,

Sensation,

Items,

Objects.

The real self is the knower,

The seer.

So when the real self is the knower,

Bypasses the mind,

Then it perceives the world as one unit.

Same apply the same principle.

Clay,

Clay pot.

Real self has nothing to worry and nothing want,

Do not want to see the clay pot.

Do not want to see that there are many people practicing meditation here and now.

The real self perceives only one.

Intellect says,

Oh,

Many people are doing it.

Look at it more.

The attributes you have,

The mind engages itself in those attributes,

Causes likes and dislikes,

Attachment and detachment and the desire and the seeking happiness outside projection.

What I am saying,

I'm saying a simple thing.

You are just sitting in front of a television.

Movie continues.

This is the product.

This is coming from the mind.

But what is the ultimate cause of the movie?

TV screen,

Real self.

Do you understand?

Now look at the body.

Awareness of the entire physical body.

Just you are aware.

Who perceives the body?

Do I intellect I mind I?

What about the real self?

Come back to the body.

You see the body.

Yes.

You feel the body.

Yes.

Do you experience sensation,

Relaxation and stillness?

False I.

This is the experience.

So mind says,

OK,

Live into that.

Let me live little more,

Little more,

Little more.

Real self says you're communicating in today's meditation.

You are communicating with your own mind by separating.

How can I communicate if you are separate from me?

Same way you are communicating with your mind.

Real self says,

Oh,

Mind,

Be at peace.

This will also pass.

Why it says it says because I am of the nature of peace and happiness.

You make a project,

Then you create a like and dislike.

Then you sweat to be happy.

And still you remain unhappy.

Oh,

Mind,

Be at peace.

This will also pass.

The higher meditation is all about communication,

Understanding,

Knowledge.

Looking at the body again,

Be sure.

Body.

So you are simply you have separated your intellect.

Intellect Do you see the body?

Yes,

I know.

Real self,

You are not the body.

Look at it.

You are not the clay pot.

And then real self communicates with your own mind.

Yes,

You are not the clay pot.

Oh,

Mind,

Be at peace.

This will also pass.

What will pass?

This delusion that we are the body.

You're not worried about whether the body moves or stays or lives.

You're not at all worried about anything at this time.

Why?

Whatever is perceived by whatever is perceived by the mind and intellect is limited.

I believe you have understood that.

So when that understanding dawns in the mind,

Mind says,

Are you sure?

Real self says,

Yes,

Oh,

Mind,

Be at peace.

This will also pass.

You're not at all concerned whether the body is still or moves.

Do you see movement of the body,

Stillness of the body?

Who recognizes mind,

Intellect,

Ego with the real self communicates?

Come on.

When you are not the body,

Whether it moves or doesn't move.

Nothing to do with it.

Why you are limited?

Look at it and then look at the breath.

Who perceives the breath is moving in and out?

Who says do not change the rate and the rhythm of the breath?

Mind and intellect,

It is the false side.

We are learning something totally different on Mondays and Thursdays.

That is also required.

And today it's another way of learning.

Mind perceives the breath is moving.

Anything that is moving and changing is not me.

Real self says,

The real self communicates.

Come on,

Bypass this change in the movement.

Why?

You are not there where there is a change.

Breath is moving.

Buddha uses the breath mindfulness to see the delusory nature of the world to find the real self.

My intellect says breath is changing,

Going in and out.

Where is in and out?

When I'm not the body,

The real self says you are not the body.

You are not a clay pot.

You are not a wave.

Come on.

Nothing is going in and out.

You are still communicating you real self.

Real you communicating with the false you.

Come on.

You're looking at the breath.

Continue to look at the breath.

What the real self looks real self looks only one prana,

The life force.

Can you make a difference between the life force and the amoeba and you?

You and the elephant or the tiger?

It is one.

See that clay pot and clay.

Look at it.

It only needs.

Are you aware?

If you are aware,

You are there.

We are learning from the experiences gained by the seeker that the time come when there will be only one step continues even for 30 minutes because the step is also known by the mind.

OK,

Look at.

Yes,

See that.

I'm expressing what is the meaning of this verse in another different way.

So go deeper than the breath.

We find the feeling experiences.

Emotions who is experiencing.

Same false I intellect.

Limited.

Yes.

What the realize is realize is come on.

There is nothing deeper in the outer and the inner.

Only you perceive it.

Can you see the outside and inside of a clay pot?

The right and the left side,

The bottom and the top.

It is all clay.

Real self says it is all clay.

It is all me.

Oh.

So all these thought feeling and the sensation perceived by the mind.

Limits me.

See that real self says I see only one thing that I am pervading everywhere.

Intellect says how it is possible.

This is my body.

This is your body.

This is my breath.

That is your breath.

This is my thought.

That is your thought.

This is my feeling.

That is your feeling.

Intellect I mind,

Whatever you want to say,

It is the same thing.

You're not at all doing anything.

Why?

The real self is ready to communicate and who does anything and everything.

Mind,

Intellect,

Ego.

Why the real self is not a doer and the enjoyer because it is of the nature of peace and happiness,

Love and wisdom.

That's what I have been saying.

Oh mind,

Be at peace.

This will also pass.

Matto vinirgatam vishvam mayye vilayam eshyati.

Redikumbu.

Let me communicate to your.

No,

I have to communicate through your intellect or mind or ego,

Whatever you say.

Communication.

The real self says I'm already one with you,

So there is no need to communicate,

But still we are communicating.

So let us leave.

Go deeper.

I'm addressing to your intellect.

Go deeper than the thought.

So here comes the transition point.

Mind merges into the real self.

Now only there is one only.

So that real self need not to say,

Oh mind,

Be at peace.

This will also pass.

Why?

You know it.

Why?

In that state,

In that state,

That is the state,

The seeker and a great master,

Janaka.

He became the master again.

He also taught.

But his teaching was totally full of craziness.

We'll talk one day.

So now see what he experiences.

Word shines out of me and dissolves into me.

Shines out of me.

Intellect starts working,

Recognizing,

Limiting itself,

Dissolves into me.

The mind merges.

The world merges.

And then I remember being like jarred during the meditation.

And I said to myself,

Well,

When is the meditation actually going to start?

And I realized I was in the meditation.

And then I heard the bell ring that it's time.

Now that's basically my signal to snap out of meditation.

I was like,

Wow,

That was beautiful.

So beautiful.

You see what is his experience?

You can see that as if I lost the entire world outside created by the mind and intellect.

Or ego,

Whatever you say.

We live in our limited world.

Here is my honey.

Here is my friends.

Here are my enemies.

Here are my likes and here are my dislikes.

This is what the clay pot is.

This is clay pot and it becomes very difficult for us to break this shell.

How are you,

Sam?

I'm really good as well.

During the lesson,

I was a little bit absorbed at something you said at the beginning,

Which is about how people who are often very successful professionally have a lot of other problems.

And I think it's because we tend to try to control outcomes and expect a lot and all of that.

So I was absorbed in that.

But as soon as I closed my eyes,

I said,

What was that thought again?

And I was like,

I don't even know.

I couldn't think about anything.

Beautiful.

Right.

And I noticed I was drooping my head a little bit and seeing a lot of darkness.

And then I would lift my head up and see all the white light and expansive space.

And I was just going between that.

And it was beautiful.

So beautiful,

Beautiful.

How are you,

Antoinette?

That was so relaxing.

I was not aware of my body during most of that journey.

And when you said to raise our hands to our eyes,

I didn't know where those hands were.

Beautiful.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

So intellect or ego has dropped that limitedness of the body.

This is what happens.

But it doesn't mean that we lose our body.

So that to be honest.

How are you,

Kate?

I'm good.

It felt very,

Very vast.

And it also I one of the things that I don't know the word.

A body,

Not body,

Like being aware the body is still here,

But and I'm in the body.

Yeah,

Yeah,

Yeah.

I could see that.

You know,

And then especially when we were ending the meditation,

It was like I'm already beyond the body.

So like,

Wait a second.

The body suddenly felt like limiting.

Yeah,

Yeah,

Yeah.

That's a good.

That's a good experience.

How are you,

Vaibhav?

And then Terry.

I'm very good.

It's like that.

I was like thinking this technique,

Why I'm taking the baggage of all the experiences or the thoughts with me.

I can leave them and then be there with me.

That's another good point.

Yes.

And it was so peaceful.

I was just moving and so peaceful inside.

Beautiful.

Take your time,

Terry.

You see that when my master says and it goes deeper,

It took me a couple of years to go deeper.

Why?

Why?

The master says,

Oh,

Mind be at peace.

And when I studied other text and there the text says,

Oh,

Ask real self to communicate with your intellect,

With your false eye and see what happens.

So there I got it.

Oh,

This is what my master is saying.

This is what.

So this week you need to see you need to communicate at every point.

No,

I have no money.

Then what should I do?

Limitedness.

What the intellect should think.

No,

I don't have.

Let me make an effort without any expectation the way the Sam has said that at the young age we have we keep a lot of garbage inside,

A lot of burden,

Limitedness.

Who created this?

The mind,

Intellect or the ego.

But where is the real self?

Real self still says,

Oh,

Mind be at peace.

This will also pass.

Whether you have a billion dollar or you don't have it,

You have a right to be happy.

You have a yes,

Terry.

I was waiting for you.

I felt like it was very simple in the beginning.

Good.

You could say that it's just that the air is going in and out.

That's part beautiful.

You see that right?

Yes.

You see that you see last point.

I want to make it Ashta Vakra,

Who is the master in this text.

Did I tell you?

Do you remember that he is crooked?

His body is deformed at eight places.

He could neither sit nor stand,

Neither sleep.

That master is teaching the Janaka,

The highest journey.

Wonderful.

That is all for today.

Thank you.

We will meet again.

Thank you.

Thank you.
