When small children see me I cannot talk very high knowledge to them When an old person comes, I find it difficult to talk because they can't even hear me and when a young one comes, they are so hyper and lost in their force of desires, they have no time So, with whom should I talk? Whom should I talk to? Okay, look at this interesting thing when I say that practicing yogasanas imparts health many people are interested in learning yogasanas When I say, by practicing pranayama you can eradicate diseases of your body and mind many people say to teach fast we are highly interested But, nobody ever asks to tell such a technique so that we may meet the one the one we are separated from, and in a way never really separated from Not even a single person has ever approached with this wish that Gurumaa I want to know the truth I want to know the truth Most of the questions...see for yourself when we'll start tomorrow, your letters will come, you'll ask questions What kind of questions will come? Husband fights too much, what should I do? Kids don't obey, what should I do? Blood Pressure shot up, what should I do? Mind is extremely restless, what should I do? Somebody might write that I am facing a financial crunch, what should I do? Everybody is loaded with complications somebody has this problem while someone else has that problem Haven't come across anybody... It is Kabir Ji's rendition Haven't come across anyone... who seeks the eternal one I haven't met anybody who is seeking the eternal true self I don't get to meet anyone who asks me that how should I know myself? How should I understand who I am how should I understand that I am not this physical body and death comes to the physical body. How should I receive this wisdom? Kabir Ji is also lamenting saying the same thing We aren't alone, he is also with us. We are at the same club "Aatam anubhav sukh ki ka koi bhoojhe baat" describing the experience of the true self is like an idiom it has become so difficult "Kah jo koi janayi kah apno hi gaat" who is that person who has understood this and who is that person who has the understanding to talk on this subject "Aatam anubhav jab bhayo" "Tab nahi harsh vishaad" "Chitta deep sam hai raheyo" "Tajj kar vaad vivaad" When self realisation happens, how should I describe it, Kabir says mind becomes like that lamp which isn't wavered by the wind and it is lit up without flickering like a lamp which is not being disturbed by any air or wind and it is beautifully lit up The mind becomes this still this quiet this serene and, this happens when one gives up all discussion and debate 'Vaad-Vivaad' means discussion, debate and you know what, you are always debating and discussing within your own mind, not with somebody else As long as the mind is constantly engaged in this flow of thoughts Mind is always in a.. in a.. disturbed state, like a river which is flooded in a spate, it is flowing Mind is always occupied with tensions, thoughts, thinking if I should do this or not if I should eat this or not if I should go there or not if I should talk to him or not if I should fight with him or not if I should befriend him or not if I should earn money or not; if I should cheer up the upset wife or not what should I do about the kids Mind continuously keeps thinking there is never a time when mind is silent Kabir Ji says when self-realisation happens so, say the mind becomes silent, or say when mind will be silent, then the true self will be experienced You don't have to bring 'Atman' (the true self) from somewhere Paramatman (the supreme self) is also not to be brought from somewhere where is it supposed to be brought? Has Paramatman gone somewhere? Paramatman hasn't gone anywhere Who is Paramatman? now, there are many confusions in this In order to understand these confusions With you, I will talk a little about Swami Brahmananda Brahmananda Ji has told a very beautiful thing My Guru showered such grace over me that all the bondages of attachments of my mind severed I used to wander day and night in the world and my Guru explained to me that this entire world is a mere dream ever since I've understood that all this is a dream and an illusion my mind became still There was a time, when someone used to say Sheshnaag is Bhagwan, or somebody said that Ganesha is Bhagwan somebody said Mahadeva is Bhagwan some said that Durga is Bhagwan others said this Peer is Bhagwan somebody said that Paigambar was Bhagwan somebody says that our Granth is great some say that our Granth is great but my Guru freed me from all Panth, Granth (paths and scriptures) and made me meet the one who abides in me somebody goes to Benaras to search somebody goes searching for Eshwar to Kashi and my Guru made me experience the all-pervasive Paramatman the one who exists everywhere my Guru made me realise that omniscient truthful existence broke the utensil that was holding my ignorance all along my Guru has broken the utensil which was holding my Agyana (ignorance) He the broke the very utensil that was holding my ignorance Now my wandering has ended What is it that I can offer to my Guru? What can I give to my Guru? the one who gave me this, what can I give to him? says, there is nothing worthy enough in all the three realms nothing at all If someone's very rich, he tends to think Oh I'll offer money to the master I'll be able to carve an impression Oh child, this wealth has already been renounced by the Guru He had access to all these things now, what will you give to him who has already discarded it Will you be happy if someone gives a discarded thing to you? no What can I offer to my Guru? nothing is worthy enough in all the three realms nothing can ever compare to that bliss given by him might give wealth or precious gems worth crores, be it wealth, gems rubies or diamonds whatever I see does not fit the bill I cannot give anything like this to my master but what my master has given me is so precious It is beyond the words
