There is a difference between “trying to do the journey” and deciding to wake up and allowing your heart to open, through just being and living out your truth. While trying to do the spiritual journey right is understandable and human, Premasudha speaks on how attempting to control your experience and doing the journey "right" is actually an ego trap and will, in fact, stop your progress. If you want to evolve, focus on your heart and what is deeply true for you. Be with where you are, and reflect on your experience, and experiment with ways to express love and compassion more. Try to enjoy your life. It helps us to think of the Creator and support our journeys with inspirational books, attending satsangs, and just practicing kindness and compassion wherever we are, no matter how we feel.

If there's any kind of global message to you,

It's don't try to evolve,

Please,

You guys,

I see you getting in contortions from your egos with the trying to evolve.

If you are trying to evolve,

You're caught in ego.

Evolution takes place with just,

It's like when you want to evolve,

Like when you,

If you really want to come into your heart and wake up this light,

That's what you'll do.

Think of it,

You know,

If you want to go on a holiday,

You don't say to yourself,

Okay,

I have to start saving.

Okay,

I have to choose where to go.

You just start saving.

You just start looking around for places to explore.

You don't get in there at all with trying to fix or trying to do it.

So,

This is where,

You know,

A few of you are caught and you get stressed and Premasuda goes like,

I can't find your heart.

Or she'll say,

You know,

Zip it,

Stop talking.

I don't want to listen.

You know what I get like,

Because it's just the ego grabbing and you don't want to stay there.

You guys,

You don't have to manage yourself so much.

If you want to wake up,

You'll wake up,

You'll just start having dreams.

You'll just start having insights.

It's the trying to do and trying to organize it.

You know,

You might remember,

You know,

You might think about the creator and remember the creator.

Remember that this is illusion during the day.

If you like reading bad news,

You're getting all worried.

You can remind yourself,

Yeah,

It doesn't look good,

But it's also an illusion here and there's high intelligence,

Miraculous intelligence running the show.

Yeah.

Yeah,

But please,

You know,

So many,

I guess,

Two thirds of you try to do the journey.

And think of it,

It's just like,

You know,

If you want it,

Think of the things that you want.

I mean,

If you want something,

You just start heading that way.

You know,

You just don't have to get in there and engineer things.

Yeah,

Please.

It's actually prevents your journey.

I mean,

That's the sad thing is I watched some of you go into contortions.

It's actually stopping all your progress.

And I say this,

You know,

And but,

You know,

You'll hear it when you want to hear it.

And,

You know,

Maybe after,

You know,

You get so frustrated,

You just don't know what to do with yourself.

The penny will drop.

Yeah.

If you all stopped trying to evolve today,

Maybe this weekend,

Maybe this is the big,

You know,

Red letter weekend where everybody,

You know,

Stops trying to do it.

And they just like,

Just be with where you are.

Yeah.

Try to enjoy your lives.

You know,

Try to think that way.

Enjoy your lives as much as possible.

Yeah,

You pull my heartstrings.

Really,

I mean,

This is where I go like I had that violent introduction,

But I always felt like so ashamed of that for years.

But,

You know,

I,

I,

It stopped me from trying to do the journey.

It's like,

I was on the journey after that.

Yeah.

Yeah,

Please.

Pull my heartstrings,

You guys.

It's a tiny veil.

The veil will be in your bodies as well as in your mind,

There'll be some it'll be probably in your solar plexus.

And so in your chakra,

This distrust of God,

And this desire to control will be in the solar plexus.

There's a lot of love power beginning to come through with Amma's grace.

Coming through these words,

May,

May this,

These words just really start dissolving the,

The complexes in you guys that keep you trying to do the journey.

Yeah,

It's like a little kid trying to breathe,

You know,

Or sometimes I'm working with people,

And they'll start doing the yoga breathing,

And I'll say,

Just be yourself.

With this,

Whatever we feel we have to do something to ourselves,

We have to have Botox,

Or plastic surgery,

Or we have to breathe in the yoga way.

And it's like,

No,

Just be yourself,

Where you are.

It's like,

It's sort of like,

You know,

We don't say to three year olds,

You know,

Okay,

Three year old,

You have to be fixed.

We just love the three year olds.

And we know we don't have to like manipulate Mother Nature,

The Mother Nature in the three year old is going to make progress.

Really often the,

You know,

The least less we do the better,

You know,

I mean,

Good food,

Attention,

Love and everything,

But not like moment by moment lessons every day of every moment of the day.

Some people do that.

Are there kids?
