Does the Space knows that a spiritual discourse is going on here? No ! Why? Space doesn't know; Space doesn't have consciousness I am the ever conscious one; from my conscious, the intellect becomes like that So it thinks and understands, Mind thinks and understands and with this they perform sinful and virtuous deeds Who did virtues and sins? The mind through whom? Through this body So who will bear the consequences of sinful actions? The body and the mind! If the body gets hurt, is that body which feels pain or the mind? All the bodily pains are perceived by the mind If we give some kind of a nerve blocker kind of medicine to a patient He will not feel any pain, the pain is there but the nerve senses will not give message to the brain that there is a pain So body is inert Via the body the mind feels the pain So medications is basically given to either numb your nerve senses or in the brain where the pain is felt Now is brain inert or conscious? Brain too is inert This brain which you have, is it inert or conscious? It is inert making you unconscious Cut the belly, the bone, do the operation or tumor, take out kidney Do whatever the patient lies comfortably like a yogi Does he experience any pain? No, but where the intellect regains consciousness, then he shouts Give me the pain killer.. give me the pain killer.. Oh ! I am dead I am dead- who is this 'I' which is saying that I am dying, When your body was being cut then why didn't you shout that don't cut me Patient is lying, surgeon says ten blade Here he gives incision They cut the whole sternum while doing the by-pass surgery They place the gripes and spread the chest apart like this In by-pass surgery during earlier times for sometime, they would stop the heartbeat to repair- but now a days Heart is beating and they do it (the surgery) on beating heart itself now think it is open till here He is lying with ease, no sound; nothing But as he regains his consciousness then shouts, I am dead.. I am dead Is it the body that experiences the pain or the mind? Mind experiences! Okay- If your body is cut or torn apart, or if surgery happen, there will be pain Take some gyani or Mahatma If surgery has to be done in his body, then he will experience pain or not? He too will experience If pain will be felt, he'll shriek in pain or not? Okay- If he shrieks in pain, does it means his Gyana is gone? No! Even if a Gyani yells out in pain, his gyana his wisdom is not gone Pain is at body's level- the intellect experiences it but a common man thinks that I am dead out of pain whereas gyani says, the body is in pain I am detached like a sky- 'akashvat- like a sky' meaning like the sky Sky is inert but I am not! That's why they said 'like the sky' There is a difference Rishi is saying, you must understand that the one who regards the body-mind to be his, He is in the bondage The one who breaks free from the body-mind attachment What does 'breaking' means? Do we have to break something physically? Like breaking the bone- do we need to break something like this? No, there's nothing like that Like you were having a car then you sold it; Earlier your name was written on the papers then took the amount to whom it is sold, then he says, first it was mine, now it's not Right? Okay you gave away your car as a gift to your brother or sister gifted the car! You said, there is no requirement for the exchange of documents and any amount in return is not anticipated anyways- so, you just drive! When he gives then what he says? Earlier it was mine, now it is not had assumed (that the car is mine), now stopped assuming no need to break You don't need to change the papers every time Say if you are gifting it to your loved one You don't need to change papers, you don't take money in lieu of that property but you say okay, from now it's yours From now, it is yours; that's it! Now it isn't mine, similarly Let body-mind be seen like that, it is not mine; that's it You don't have to literally kill your body to feel 'I am not body' Body is alive, Prana are functioning, mind is thinking Intellect is deciding and you know from inside that I am not all this If the body lives good If the body dies, it's good Gyani says Lot of actions are to be done for the body eat, drink, sleep, bath, wash, clothes.. this and that If the body dies, We'll be free of these chores too This has to be done if the body is there I knew a Mahatma, he used to sit all the time in state of ecstasy Such that his disciples join hands and feet to eat something.. eat then he used to eat a little While eating, his eyes used to get closed Morsels remained in his mouth then they had to say and urge him that Maharaj please chew a little such a bliss they had to say Maharaj, swallow it He abided in a continual state of meditativeness He didn't meditate, meditation happened to him That was the beauty When you meditate then you are the doer then the doer can get egoistic but when meditation happens to you there is no place for ego left because you are not doing it, it's happening You are not doing it and that's what the ultimate state is where you don't do and yet your mind is pure quiet in great equipoise But in advanced stage, not now As of now, the mind used to run like a monkey here and there, grab it, sits for a while then runs away again catch, he runs again, then again catch, runs again At the moment, it doesn't get still So we still this running mind with dispassion with discriminatory wisdom so that in this quietened and stilled mind conviction of gyana can happen and the knots which we have tied knots that can be untied Truth is this also, listen In reality, there are no knots You believe there are knots which in reality are not there! 'jad chetan' granthi pad gayi 'Jad chetan granthi pad gayi' 'Yadyapi mrisha chutat kathinaayi' 'Yadyapi mrisha chutat kathinaayi' inert and conscious have knotted together Although it is illusory, 'mrisha' means illusion is false but difficult to untie 'Yadyapi mrisha chutat kathinaayi' Now the body-senses-mind-intellect are inert You are the conscious but how this conscious and inert have mishmashes together The body seems I; the mind seems I, senses seems I; Intellect seems I these are the knots doesn't untie is illusory even then it doesn't untie, this is what is known as maya! This is called Maya! Taking the next 'Shabdaksharam param brahma tasmin kshine yad aksharam' 'tad vidvan aksharam dhyayed yadichhec chantim atmana' again the talk is coming of Brahma and they say, 'shabdaksharam param brahma' The syllable Om This is a symbol of Parabrahman 'shabdaksharam' 'paramam brahma' Om is the symbol of Parabrahman- the absolute truth 'Tasmin kshine yad aksharam' The technique we practised in the morning of 'Om' the extension of the same is in this Shloka now meaning the chanting of Om is going in your mind mind becomes quieter, sound of Om is going on is going on.. slowly it goes softer and even that fades away What will happen then? 'Tasmin kshine yad aksharam' When this sound ceases or fades away the rishi says, that which Om symbolizes, gets revealed 'tad vidvan aksharam dhyayed', that is why The wise meditate upon Om 'yadichhec shantim atmana', if you are desirous of the supreme peace, then do it If you desire that supreme peace in the self then do the meditation on Om If you do the Om Chant it and then slowly Om diminishes fades away and then the absolute will be revealed to you Thus says the rishi of Amrit Bindu Upanishad Sugar is put into water stirred a little Sugar dissolves in the water now it won't be visible separately What do we say this? that sugar is dissolved in it in water, is mixed in it Similarly when one keeps on chanting Om.. the sugar of Om dissolves in the water of the mind As the sugar dissolves in the water, water becomes sweet Similarly when this eternal name will dissolve in the mind How will the mind be? sweet Sweet means? In bliss See how beautifully rishi is saying this that whosoever is desirous of bliss there is no need to run after a girl or a boy or marriage- dangerous thing! It's your choice, you go or not let's come back, doesn't run after money or pride or.. See, marriage is done for two reasons Let's talk about it too Very important matter One do marriage only for sensual pleasures and to have children one is this Second is our senses and the mind we don't let them into over indulgences and to have command on them you build a relationship with one person by which, your mind gradually while experiencing sexual gratification, after bearing children going through all these activities then free yourself from all of these One marriage is that which is done with the purpose of religion and one marriage is that -eat, drink and be merry- who cares about experiencing the ultimate bliss? What is this? Doesn't know about dharma, doesn't know about bliss, doesn't know about wisdom
