So close your eyes if it is not closed already.
And let go of any sense of anticipation as to what's next.
And so far by now you would have recognized that you are the presence of awareness.
That is,
You know that you are.
That the essential knowledge Peace.
That you are.
And by definition you know that you are.
So without delaying,
Take this stance as awareness.
You may have had a busy day.
Or you may have had a choppy night of sleep.
Whatever.
Was the situation before.
See it as a storyline,
A concept because none of that changes the fact that you are awareness.
So as you commence this session,
Let go of any Let's see it do.
And quickly take this stance as awareness.
And make sure that there is a gentle smile.
Very naturally.
Appearing on your face as you Become more and more aware of your real presence.
At this point.
In our journey.
We have recognized that we are awareness.
But we are at the same time also aware of the fact.
That we have an existence as a separate entity.
Within the vast field of awareness.
That we have a body.
That we have our own.
Personal history,
A storyline.
A concept of being a human.
And not just any human,
You a particular human being.
And we are not denying the fact.
That it is.
So see that aspect of your life as the space of your room.
Seemingly limited by the walls of your room.
However,
The space within your room and outside of your room.
Are not two separate spaces.
All the space.
Is same as the space within your room.
In the same way.
The limited awareness.
That you experience as your self with a name,
With a body,
With a personal history.
Unlimited awareness self.
That you know is the essential reality of all existence.
They are not two separate awarenesses.
Watch her smile.
As you recognize.
That you do have.
Contracted.
Constricted.
Temporary form.
Within the broad spectrum.
Ever-present,
Infinite awareness.
And you are smiling at it.
Not in the protest.
But in harmony.
We are in this approach are not rejecting,
Denigrating,
The body,
Mind.
Of the world.
For us in this path all is one.
All is full of only one reality.
And when you experience that reality that nature of the reality is love.
So continue to smile.
As you deepen your understanding of this very presence that you are experiencing right now.
And as you know,
Our meditation,
Our journey is experiential exploration.
That the emphasis is not on understanding the concept but experiencing.
The awareness self.
And the unification of this self with all the experiences that we are having.
So if there is any.
Conflict between your constricted awareness that is the name and form that you call your body and your identity.
And the infinite awareness if there is any conflict and now the conflicts are not Now the nature of your conflicts could be very subtle.
And now all you could do at this point in your journey is… to sit in clear recognition.
And then let go.
And let go of any effort.
Of deepening it or making it correct.
Now you need to let the nature do the job.
So continue to smile.
As the boundaries of your consciousness.
Separate self.
And The Self.
Continuous.
To dissipate.
Continue to smile.
And see that you are awareness.
See that the words are known,
Understood without any effort whatsoever on your behalf.
That reality that is listening to this is the very evident wisdom taking place in you right now.
It is alive and it is fresh.
It is not a concept.
It is your direct experience.
To become very effortless.
Identify if there is any impulse to bring it about because there is no such thing.
You the awareness is capable of metacognition.
Nice thing.
Metacognizing that you know that you are.
You are not just going with the flow.
But you can recognize that you are in the flow.
Meta.
Cognition.
And even for metacognition you do not lift a finger.
You just know.
That you are.
So I congratulate you.
For intimately understanding the meaning of these words and as you know There are and many people that we meet every day would recognize the treasure on which they are sitting.
So sit back,
Relax and remain completely effortless.
For all of you.
Who have been on some spiritual path.
You have always known.
You have always been looking for.
Freedom that you know that you have tested before.
The test of the freedom of your infiniteness is ingrained in your awareness and for your entire life you were looking to experience that freedom that you know you are.
But when you are bound by the body and mind When you the awareness has chosen to contract into a form.
You have sacrificed that freedom knowingly.
And then,
Temporarily,
You forgot.
And fall.
All your life you have been looking for that freedom.
That you know.
That you have tested.
That exists.
And this quest.
Forget freedom.
This quest.
Was sometimes a quest behind or after a relationship.
Some gold.
Some attainment of material,
A house,
A job.
A degree.
A status.
And time to time.
Your quest.
Also was after some substance.
Which may or may not include alcohol.
Good food.
And so on.
And your quest also included.
Experiences.
Bucket list.
In all of these endeavors and activities,
You were looking very inherently.
The test of the freedom that you know exists.
And until the quest is fully quenched,
Satisfied.
It can only be fully satisfied by knowing that you,
The separate awareness,
Is one with the awareness.
That's where the test of freedom that you have had.
Again becomes your reality.
And then.
.
.
Nothing else is left to accomplish.
That is,
Your quest stops but your living continues.
That now you are living.
Doesn't have the quality,
The anxiety of attaining an object after another object.
Now everything becomes a joyful experience of living.
So continue to smile.
As you continue to recognize.
The wisdom in these words that you are listening to When we strive to attain a goal,
There is a lot of build-up.
Energy,
Anxiety,
About your quest,
About whether I will attain the goal or not,
How would it feel and so on.
And as soon as you attain the goal,
All of that built up energy,
Anxieties.
Become zero.
They come to a sudden end.
And in that ending of that anxiety built up energies you feel the test of effortlessness of needing to do nothing because you have attained that goal just for a moment.
So the joy you experience after attaining a goal that joy arises from actually knowing your real self,
Experiencing your real self.
You may not be able to.
A finger on it,
You may not be able to conceptualize that the joy experience after attainment of the goal.
Was the joy stemming.
From being.
What you are.
Essentially.
But we attribute that joy to the attainment of the goal.
But all it was was temporarily relaxing the weight you have been carrying.
The weight of attaining the goal.
See that clearly.
That the joy of attaining the goal was the joy of not having.
That goal.
At all because you have now met it.
Ye who attained it,
There is nothing to strive for.
And in that relaxation.
You have the glimpse,
The test of your real self.
Continue to smile.
As you continue to recognize the patterns.
To continue to make sense of your quest so far.
Continue to take and sustain your stance as awareness only.
Continue to keep experience.
The direct knowing.
And not conceptualizing.
I'd like to talk about three such experiences.
First,
Imagine yourself or recognize,
Remember that when you were in nature last time,
Or at that time when You visited that place in nature.
And you had this experience,
A very joyful experience of being in that nature.
What had actually happened was for a moment.
You had lived the reality that you and the nature are one.
In an experience of immense pleasure of being in nature.
Was not.
Made of thinking.
You weren't thinking at that time that how green everything is or how The hue of sunset was so vivid.
You were not micro-analyzing the beauty of nature.
In that very experience.
You were one with nature.
Your mind had stopped wondering about the beauty of nature.
And that unification that took place with nature was beyond the grasp of your mind.
And in that unification The real joy of oneness was experienced.
But after that experience your mind may have risen and again started explaining how this is so beautiful,
How it is so different and so on.
Some mind would have come up.
And try to make sense.
Of that experience that gave you the immense joy.
And would have attributed it to the weather or the company at the time of the scenery but it was none of that.
The actual reason always remains outside of the grasp of thoughts.
See if you could recognize that.
That being in nature one of your most pleasant experiences was actually the experience of you knowing the unification intimately.
With nature.
That is,
You are testing your real nature.
And even in this meditation.
As you continue to listen and as you continue to take the stance as awareness,
The glimpse of joy.
Are only the joyfulness arising from you intimately living the unification with all that there is.
That you are letting go of your small separate self.
Your contractedness is meeting the infiniteness and in that meeting you are experiencing the immense joy.
And this immense joy.
Doesn't have to follow.
Happy emotion.
That your heart doesn't need to Rest.
It is not an emotion.
It is not a happy emotion.
This joy is of different nature.
Sometimes it does accompany a happy emotion,
State of body-mind.
But by now you need to recognize that that is not what we are referring to when we say quiet innate joy.
So continue to smile.
It's more and more clarity.
Appears.
Spontaneously,
Naturally,
Effortlessly.
The experience of being in nature was the experience of unification.
In the same way.
Whenever.
You had experience of beauty.
It was the experience of unification.
And the object of beauty.
Was only an excuse.
It.
So-called beauty of that object.
Was the trigger.
For you to momentarily forget.
Your separate existence.
And that beauty became the portal for you to let go of your smallness,
Separateness and merge into.
The bigger,
Wider,
The most beautiful reality.
It is a king.
To the beauty of nature.
But this time.
The beauty may not be.
A natural beauty,
It could be the beauty in you.
Encapsulated in an artwork.
It could be painting.
It could be picture.
It could be somebody's face.
It could be the beauty of your pet.
That all of those experiences were Change the trigger.
For you to forget.
You're separate.
Small self.
And that beauty becomes a trigger for you to merge into.
The only beauty that there is which is experiencing the oneness with the whole existence.
Recognize this daily experience of your oneness.
With the reality.
The glimpses happen every day.
But we give it different name that the mind that can't comprehend it begins to give different,
Different name,
Conditions and context to it.
And essentially it has been always simple experience of oneness.
In other words,
When there is no duality.
When the separate object of beauty ceases to exist.
And that you the experiencer.
And what is experience.
Cease to exist as two separate entities.
That non-dual recognition.
Of our nature.
Becomes the trigger.
And now you will start recognizing these triggers.
They will come to you in your life in different different ways.
Disguise but you will begin to recognize them as this.
This non-dual recognition of your own nature.
And this occurs more and more as your ego,
As your separateness.
Begins to crumble.
It starts giving way to the bigger reality,
It no longer can resist.
It now knows there is no point in resisting.
And what is.
The other word we use when you have no resistance.
That your separate self starts game in game.
To the bigger reality.
That word is detachment.
Detachment doesn't mean you do not care.
Detachment means that you do not resist.
The impulses of separate self.
And increasingly you give way for every small experiences.
To become the one oneness.
With each experience comes your recognition.
You start seeing futility.
You start seeing futility in the question.
Arguing.
For a concept,
For another concept.
And so on.
You start seeing the bigger encapsulating reality.
And many times you know that the people you are interacting with has not had experiences that you have had.
So you smile.
You stop arguing.
You stop fighting.
Forcing because you know that you yourself haven't come till here.
By forcing it.
So you stop trying changing people.
You stop trying changing situations.
You see harmony.
You see a symphony is going on.
And you do not try to change it,
But you sing along.
And that.
Is often well described by the word detachment.
But there is a very broad deeper meaning to this word detachment.
And it is not joyless.
Do not associate detachment with a joyless,
Dry life.
Infect detachment.
Brings about the recognition of beauty.
The oneness.
And detachment is often the trigger for the most joyful existence.
Continue to smile.
As you continue to recognize the patterns.
Patterns of your own awakening.
As you continue to make sense.
So we have talked about being one with nature and the experience of beauty both as essentially the experience of oneness of your true nature.
Nature.
The third such experience were oneness.
Is all there is.
But we call it love.
The experience of love.
Is the experience of knowing Net you the lover.
And that loved one.
Are not two separate entities.
As soon as the unification of the loved one and the lover happens,
The love remains as all there is.
And this experience of love happens outside of your mind.
Your thoughts.
Can't make sense of it.
That's right,
After experiencing the real love.
Your separate limited entity.
Tries to make sense of it.
By writing poems.
By describing the beauty of the loved one.
All in a attempt.
To have that experience again.
But that thought is looking in a wrong direction.
Nothing wrong in writing poem about the loved ones.
But not with the longing to have that experience again.
So recognize that the real experience of love is the experience of unification.
You these experiences of unification.
Happen.
Because what people call Grace.
It does not happen because you are willing it to happen.
They happen on their own.
As if something has shifted in your favor for you to recognize this oneness.
And to describe universe conspiring to give you this experience.
We call it sometimes the grace.
The grace is taking place for me to recognize my true nature.
So when you see the word grace from the light of this knowing All the released JS subtexts make sense.
The love makes sense.
The beauty makes sense.
And see how this making sense is actually beyond words.
Thoughts can't comprehend it.
Thoughts don't have power to comprehend.
Thoughts are not aware entities.
They are vibration of awareness but thought can't feel.
Only you the awareness know.
So know it very clearly that this knowing is not thinking.
It is essential.
On this pathway.
In my view.
To know the subtle.
Subjects.
Of awakening like this experientially knowing the real meaning of words we use carelessly.
And forming one vocabulary.
With those you associate.
With those who know your language.
So that there is this clarity that remains your guiding light.
As you continue to live for years and decades.
Without losing your way.
Without losing your smile.
Even though you become increasingly detached.
You are increasingly one.
Intimately One.
So I taste.
That your form is lost.
Yet your narrow,
Separate form serves you no longer.
That everything you do now is in the service of that Oneness.
That you have no option left now but to love.
And love what?
Love the love.
I'm dead.
Is the full awakening.
And that never stops.
It has no end point.
Why would it have an endpoint?
It will always be fresh,
New,
This.
So no matter where you are in your journey,
Of recognition.
Know that if you have come this far,
The full recognition.
To full unification.
Is only the matter of so-called time.
So let go of any anxiety of getting there or when am I going to know fully.
Those words,
Thoughts,
Should have now no power.
Should have no power to invoke any anxiety,
Any sense of lack in you.
If you have come this far.
Trust me.
You are on the path.
You may take a detour or two.
But who cares?
Remain detached with your detours.
Do not get overly concerned about life situations.
Only remain concerned with the life itself.
And you will see that the grace and the love is always there to greet you,
To embrace you.
And how wonderful is that?
And how wonderful it is that you know that,
That you have lived that.
You could not have planned this.
All our planning is futile.
Let Grace do what it does the best.
Remain detached.
Let go of your separateness,
All your futile efforts.
And remember to smile as you recognize.
Let your smile grow.
Be the only language.
Now I know that this recording needs to be.
Made available.
As soon as I can.
So that you can revisit it.
That it may be helpful.
Thank you so much.
