WEBVTT 00:00:12.221 --> 00:00:19.053 Sometimes I say ...this universe...this world 'IS NEVER' what you think it is, 00:00:19.053 --> 00:00:26.235 and, this universe 'IS' what you think it is. 00:00:26.235 --> 00:00:30.107 This world 'IS NEVER' what you think it is. 00:00:30.107 --> 00:00:34.321 This world 'IS EXACTLY' what you think it is. 00:00:34.321 --> 00:01:06.236 Can you understand this? 00:01:06.236 --> 00:01:11.773 Since I arrived in Tiru, I stayed at Ramana Ashram. 00:01:11.773 --> 00:01:17.543 I could recognize all thought...all feelings ... are not the true 'I' 00:01:17.543 --> 00:01:22.288 because in one second they could disappear. 00:01:22.288 --> 00:01:25.086 And they do. 00:01:25.086 --> 00:01:36.404 If I could just recognize this ... a huge, endless, formless, peacefulness happened. 00:01:36.404 --> 00:01:39.302 It's the Self ...the true 'I'. 00:01:39.302 --> 00:01:43.340 It is the true freedom. 00:01:43.340 --> 00:01:51.622 Some minutes later I recognized another thought and then let it go ... and then... the Self. 00:01:51.622 --> 00:01:58.256 If I continue this practice, the 'I' thought will disappear. 00:01:58.256 --> 00:02:04.428 I mean the sense of individuality will disappear completely ...then question mark is there. 00:02:04.428 --> 00:02:11.968 So the question is "if I continue to practice, the 'I' thought will disappear" 00:02:11.968 --> 00:02:25.016 "I mean will the sense of individuality disappear completely?" 00:02:25.016 --> 00:02:29.149 Yes, and it sometimes is still there, like a soft shadow. 00:02:29.149 --> 00:02:37.534 It is said that sometimes in daytime you can still see the moon, in full daylite, we can see. 00:02:37.534 --> 00:02:43.040 Sometimes in the full presence of the sun, the moon can be seen, 00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:46.819 but then nobody pays much attention to it. 00:02:46.819 --> 00:02:51.939 When no sun, we write poetry to the moon. 00:02:51.939 --> 00:02:59.513 But when the sun comes, sometimes you can still see the moon, but nobody pays attention to it. 00:02:59.513 --> 00:03:13.064 Sense of individuality ...I don't know ...In the inner experience of this, what this question is asking 00:03:13.064 --> 00:03:18.568 ...in the inner experience of this, people may speak to you about personality, 00:03:18.568 --> 00:03:29.644 but inside you will not have a way of understanding what it is ...this personality ...what it means? ... it has no meaning at all. 00:03:29.644 --> 00:03:37.087 When we are really in the believe with the mind, it feels like, ah yes, your personality...my personality....well it's just ... 00:03:37.087 --> 00:03:41.993 but in the state of freedom, such words, they have no meaning. 00:03:41.993 --> 00:03:48.462 What is personality? I don't know. 00:03:48.462 --> 00:03:52.734 Your life is more like a verb than a noun. 00:03:52.734 --> 00:03:55.006 It's not a fixed thing. 00:03:55.006 --> 00:04:01.484 For a long time we are really perceiving ourselves like we are an object ....referring to your body like 'you'. 00:04:01.484 --> 00:04:13.188 But as your mind also is merging in that heart, Infinite Heart, you don't feel like an object at all. 00:04:13.188 --> 00:04:22.199 It's as though your existence is experienced like it is space moving in space. 00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:26.604 You are like a form of space moving about in space. 00:04:26.604 --> 00:04:34.445 There is a lightness ... a transparency ...a purity. 00:04:34.445 --> 00:04:41.782 When that belief ...the 'I' belief' ... 00:04:41.782 --> 00:04:48.426 when that is thinned out and only that radiant consciousness is remaining 00:04:48.426 --> 00:04:53.531 then all these things we speak about will become known to you spontaneously, you don't have to learn them. 00:04:53.531 --> 00:04:57.874 You don't have to go study them in a book anymore because they are revealed in you. 00:04:57.874 --> 00:05:05.942 And this is why I am sharing with you ...reminding you ...you don't have to study so much. 00:05:05.942 --> 00:05:12.279 They way in which 'mind' studies, it accumulates information, 00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:16.952 but you are the information-less Being. 00:05:16.952 --> 00:05:24.319 So, I say, don't worry about studying all these things, unless you want to impress people with them. 00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:28.165 Find THAT and BE THAT. 00:05:28.165 --> 00:05:32.902 And what needs to be known arises spontaneously. 00:05:32.902 --> 00:05:37.240 What needs to be done arises spontaneously in you. 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:42.013 The needs ...the true needs of the moment get satisfied. 00:05:42.013 --> 00:05:45.584 Appropriate actions come ...appropriate responses come. 00:05:45.584 --> 00:05:48.618 Where from? Out of the depth of your Being, they come. 00:05:48.618 --> 00:05:54.225 And in a moment. 00:05:54.225 --> 00:05:58.859 You can go anywhere ...in any climate ...in any culture ... 00:05:58.859 --> 00:06:10.207 you may not be able to speak their language, but you'll still be in tune with the Presence there. 00:06:10.207 --> 00:06:15.346 You will speak to people who have a discipline that you don't know anything about, 00:06:15.346 --> 00:06:19.397 but just being present as Presence, you will converse 00:06:19.397 --> 00:06:24.318 and they will have the sense that they are speaking to someone who is in their discipline. 00:06:24.318 --> 00:06:29.568 All of this is inside your own Being. 00:06:29.568 --> 00:06:33.897 So, don't lose energy studying individual things. 00:06:33.897 --> 00:06:45.656 Find that thing, which when found, you won't have to be asking others questions anymore. 00:06:45.656 --> 00:06:54.184 If something is to be known, it will arise out of the depth of your own Being. 00:06:54.184 --> 00:06:58.662 I speak to you from that common ground. 00:06:58.662 --> 00:07:02.959 Not from the place of multiplicity and differences. 00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:09.232 Differences really are superficial ...they are unreliable ...momentary. 00:07:09.232 --> 00:07:13.604 Enjoy. Don't be afraid. 00:07:13.604 --> 00:07:17.075 Naturally our Beingness is not a fearful Being. 00:07:17.075 --> 00:07:35.191 We learned fear. But it's instinct in us to trust. 00:07:35.191 --> 00:07:37.902 "if I continue to practise" this person says ... 00:07:37.902 --> 00:07:42.942 What is the practice? Best practice ...remain as the Self. 00:07:42.942 --> 00:07:44.267 Keep identifying 'I AM THE SELF'.. 00:07:44.267 --> 00:07:47.653 What does it mean "the Self'?' 00:07:47.653 --> 00:07:51.940 That which perceives everything else that is taking place in It's presence. 00:07:51.940 --> 00:07:54.821 It is the Seer. 00:07:54.821 --> 00:08:02.751 Both the actions, reactions, interactions are ocurring spontaneously in your Presence. 00:08:02.751 --> 00:08:07.091 If you don't touch the thought that 'I am the doer - I am the one that makes things happen', 00:08:07.091 --> 00:08:11.364 because if you touch this thought with belief, then you'll believe it into existence 00:08:11.364 --> 00:08:13.262 and it will become your experience. 00:08:13.262 --> 00:08:20.104 This is how the world works, by the way. 00:08:20.104 --> 00:08:27.043 Sometimes I say, this universe, this world 'IS NEVER' what you think it is 00:08:27.043 --> 00:08:34.420 and, this universe 'IS' what you think it is. 00:08:34.420 --> 00:08:38.325 This world 'IS NEVER' what you think it is. 00:08:38.325 --> 00:08:42.456 This world 'IS EXACTLY' what you think it is. 00:08:42.456 --> 00:08:47.488 Can you understand this? 00:08:47.488 --> 00:08:57.208 If you believe ... we are perceiving what we are conceiving. 00:08:57.208 --> 00:09:02.488 If you are a person, this world will seem full of persons. 00:09:02.488 --> 00:09:08.285 When you are Being you will not feel bound. 00:09:08.285 --> 00:09:14.758 You will know every Being ...look in the eyes of every Being ...and you'll know ...you'll recongnize your Self.. 00:09:14.758 --> 00:09:19.263 These things are not poetry. They are simple truths. 00:09:19.263 --> 00:09:23.429 And you will experience them and confirm them for your Self. 00:09:23.429 --> 00:09:52.629 You will confirm them. In your Heart they will be confirmed.
