So, such small-little breaks. After around 2-3 hours, take a break. Give yourself a break. Do anything. Whatever you can do... With open eyes the world is seen. But, the question is how do we see the world? That also changes the entire thing. This is one of my old bhajans. Aha! This one, is very dear to me... very dear.. It is Swami Brahmanand Ji's bhajan, listen to it with great love... Behold with your vision dear one... What the Lord heralds! In every thing, every place, the Lord is present. Behold with your vision dear one, what the Lord heralds! [Music] As the Lord thought, the Universe manifested and expanded. That unique, disparate one is creating the 14 worlds with the mind. In every thing, every place, the Lord is present. Behold with your vision dear one, what the Lord heralds! [Music] Somewhere he appears as man, at another place, he appears as a woman, At other places, he manifests as an esoteric being or a humongous giant. Somewhere he appears as man, at another place, he appears as a woman. At other places, he manifests as an esoteric being or a humongous giant. Manifesting as vivid creatures- birds-animals, he is coming to the fore. Manifesting as vivid creatures- birds-animals, he is coming to the fore. Behold with your vision dear one, what the Lord heralds! [Music] Dispel the discrimination within the mind, He is the one in the forests; in the same way, he dwells in the mind. Dispel the discrimination within the mind. He is the one in the forests; in the same way, he dwells in the mind. Oh Brahmananda, its just like a dream state, in which he is forming his creation. Oh Brahmananda its just like a dream state, in which he is forming his creation. In every thing, every place, the Lord is present. Behold with your vision dear one, what the Lord heralds! When you behold the world, it seems like things are there, tree is there, a man, a woman.... the sky, the sun... Look, all this is seen, no? Well, see it like this-The Lord is displaying, you're seeing. You forget him, and the things stay in memory. As you see a flower, so, shouldn't you remember about the flower's creator? So, on seeing the flower, you should remember the Lord. On seeing the cloud, remember the Lord. When you see the rain, again remember Him. When you see the river-stream -Who's making the water flow in it? Look at the robust icy mountains, huge ones. What made them stable? As you watch the butterflies, then you remember Him. Seeing the flora, you remember Him. As you see the spring, then remember Him. As you see autumn, then also remember Him alone. If autumn comes, only then spring comes. Without autumn how will spring be? What is the Lord displaying? watch, watch all... The Knowledgeable one doesn't say you to close your eyes & sit in a cave. He says, "Watch, watch everything." But, when you see, then... The eye you use to see, remember that eye. When we see the scene, we overlook the eye! When we see the scenes, we forget the eyes with which we're seeing! So, see the eyes which are seeing. Normally, we forget the eye. So... keep the eye in mind. Is it the eye that sees or is it the mind that watches behind it? When we watch the scene, the eye gets overlooked & the mind is also forgotten. Okay, is it the mind that sees, or is it the 'intellect' in its base that sees? 'It' is that understands-What is what? -Who is what? The intellect understands. So, look at the intellect! And step back a bit. Is it the intellect that watches or is it 'You'-the Real Self as a seer that watches. So, first, look at yourself. Are you getting the point-what I am saying? See the scene. But, as you watch the scene, then check the eye that sees the scene as well. Also, look at the mind behind the eye. Behind the mind, 'you' are the seer, look at that as well. So, see by being the seer. Who is stopping you? The seer shouldn't cling to the scene. So, whatever scene comes, keep seeing it, & whatever goes, let it go, let it go, don't hold it. So, many scenes would arrive, see them all! The good ones, the bad ones, the unpleasant ones, the lovely ones... Those who're yours, those that are not yours... see all! So, do not forget the creator as you watch the creation. That creator formed your this shape, the same creator; all the vivid shapes in front of you, he made them as well. See all! Somewhere he is a man, at another place, a woman, somewhere esoteric being, humongous giant. Somewhere he is a divine being. At another place, he is a monster. Somewhere man... Another place, a woman. Somewhere he's an animal, other places he's a bird & who's the one manifesting like this before us, Sir? Just see that real Master! You watch a man, then say, "This one's not good!" "This one is good! This is not good, mad man..." A woman appears before you. At one time, she seems hapless; another time-lovely or a sad story! But, is it a woman or the Lord himself? Is it a man or the Lord himself? Is it an animal, bird or who is it? That day... At night, umm... though I had switched off the lights, laid down to sleep. Then, felt like there's a bit of need to go the bathroom. So, I went. I got up... As I was leaving, then I sensed...that there's some kind of motion around. So, the light was switched on... With the light switched on, I opened the door... Opening the door, so..! A revered serpent is sitting in front. I wondered, "Dear, where did you drop from?" "Is it a right time to meet?" "Aren't you embarrassed to show up like this?" "This is not right. What are you doing here?" Now, he's standing stubbornly, "Well, I have come!" "No, come now. Want to meet now only." I said, "I won't meet you!" Now, he has come; -The divine being, what to do? I said, "It's not my meeting time. So, you have to go!" So, I called a disciple. I said, "Come, here!" He wondered, "Ji!?" "At this hour?!" I said, "Yes! Come fast!" "Someone special has come, today!" He wondered who's arrived at this time! "See, meet him!" "Wearing a black suit," "someone has come!" [Audience laughs] It is a designer suit with a self-dotted design... He pulled out his tongue with excitement! "Hey, hello!" "Well, a snake won't speak like us!" As he spoke, his swayed his tongue. I wondered, "First, he's come at an odd time & to top that, he's pulling out his tongue!" "Take him out!" "Cheeky, he is! Insolent! Get out!" "Learn etiquette. Meet in day time. Meeting time is 10-12!" [Guruji laughs] So, he made a mistake. He came between 10 & 12 in night time in place of 10 to 12 in day time! It is not his fault! He has no watch as he doesn't have an arm! So, no watch! Snake comes in! -Okay! Well, they come to meet! When you come, do I say, "Why have you come?" "Leave from here!" When I can meet a man, woman, child, then why shouldn't I meet a snake? Nowadays, the kingfisher comes. Earlier, parrots came, nowadays, a kingfisher has come. The Kingfisher comes and sits in front. He's highly stubborn. He says, "See," "whether YOU eat or not, please arrange for my food!" But, are these birds or the Lord? A snake or the Lord? A man or the Lord? So, do not say good or bad? The Lord is neither good nor bad! He's just good great Lord! Why label it?
