Reflection: You are not the moving body or the many thoughts that come and go in the mind. All these appear on the screen of pure Awareness, which is your real nature. Turn inward and dive deep into the Silence of the heart, where true peace is found. Going beyond the pull of illusion, you discover a freedom untouched by time, space, or change. — Satsang of 22nd Apr 2024

This is the experience of all realized beings on earth—right now, or thousands of years ago, and even in future also. Whether they come from any religious background or they have no religion, it doesn’t matter. But all of them have experienced one thing—that they are not this body. If you think the fear of death will go away, attachments will go away, and desires will go away while keeping the identification with the body, then you are completely wrong.

Nobody can do it.

It is impossible. And do you think any saint or sage got rid of this body as soon as they realized? Perhaps not. Look, I don’t know—maybe someone might have just disappeared from the body and the body was dead. But largely, I would say, the body stays, and the realized being stays, and the body continues, and the body is fed. And most of the time, in a usual manner, like we all live with this body, they also live with this body.

Their body also has pain, disease, the body gets old. Don’t think that something happens differently to a self-realized being’s body. Yes, I have to say a few things get different. There might be some power in the eyes, or a fragrance in the body. These are not… you can put perfume and you can also have fragrance. But what I am saying is that more or less, the body also decays, and the body becomes dead one day.

So the body is not immortal. In spite of that, they all say they are immortal beings. In spite of all the wrongdoings of the body in the past, and perhaps sometimes even with the body they do not look like perfect beings, but they say they are untainted, uninvolved.

They look uninvolved. They are talking to people, they are doing satsang, or interacting and doing so, and doing business. But they say they are uninvolved. It looks a paradox. Either they are cheaters, they are cheating us, they are not telling the truth—or they are telling the truth, but our intellect cannot understand this truth.

There is some problem in the whole system.

Reflection: In Face to Face, Ch. 79, Bhagavan explains that doubts and sadness should not simply be followed. Instead, we are to ask, “Who feels this?” This question brings the mind back to its source. When attention stays in the present and turns within, the false “I” becomes weak and inner peace begins to shine.

So, the logical conclusion is that if you want to know that, what you think you are—you have to give it up. Then only it might be possible. At least this much logical conclusion we can make. Because we think we are in this body, and I am being born, and I will die, and I am getting old, and I have a mind, I have attachment, desire. So all this construct…

Of the body-mind complex—what we think we are—is false, isn’t it? There is something wrong, because right now that is all we can see, feel. And if, let’s say, we are of a bit low IQ, we can ask people around us, “Is this body me? Have you seen I was born?” And you can ask your parents and relatives and all—they will say, “Yes.”

You are this person, we know you—and we all are like that.

So, where is the help to get out of it? Who will help us? Only one who knows truth.

Not our family members, not our friends.

Because everyone—every single being on this earth, I can only say about human beings—has identification with the body-mind complex. And in general public, if you talk like this, they will suggest you to see a psychiatrist, or get yourself treated, or maybe you are on drugs, or something is…

Extremely wrong with the person if you—even if you politely say to people that maybe you can investigate who you are.

Do you have the courage to say to anyone…

In a general crowd, that you are not this body-mind complex you are carrying?

Reflection: The true and endless source of happiness is within you as your own Self. Looking outside for joy in people or things will never fully satisfy you. When you turn inward, you begin to feel a deep and steady peace. In this inner knowing, the cycle of seeking and suffering comes to an end. — Satsang of 22nd Apr 2024

That what we want to know…

Has no mind, no ego, no name, no form, no attributes. Never born as a body, and never will die.

Then I would like to say—you are that. But do you think you are like that?

That you are never born, so you will never die; you have no mind, no thoughts, no name, no form, no attachment, no desire. And most important is—you are purest of pure.

Taintless. Do you feel that within you—that you are untainted, purest of pure? Do you feel that? And then another thing which you need to understand is—it is uninvolved. We are involved all the time. The only thing we know is involvement. Whether we are involved in a good way or a bad way, but we are involved. To know that, we have to be that only.

Exactly that—not like 80% of that will work out. No—100%.

Reflection: In Talk 29, Bhagavan reminds us not to lose heart when we fail or struggle. Falling and rising again is natural. With steady effort, the mind becomes stronger. In time, all obstacles are passed and everything settles into peace.

Reflection: When the ego dies, you discover a freedom that never ends. Let go of what is false and turn inward to know your true Self. Accept whatever happens without resistance, and stay quiet within. Then the body will act and speak on its own, while you remain as peaceful Stillness. — Satsang of 17th Apr 2024

Bhagavan always says that this path of self-inquiry is for mature seekers. What is this maturity? Like age? When you turn 99, then you will get it? It is not the age. It is this understanding which takes time—to understand what is at stake. A lot of people come into spirituality and they look for liberation.

And they get experiences, and the experience—the first experience they get—they think, “Oh, I have done, I am liberated.” And then this understanding comes—no, it was just maybe a glimpse. A lot of work needs to be done. And we all know internally what work needs to be done. If you look into the tools—what tools will you use to know that? They say, this mind.

Needs to be finished—then only you will know. And we only know how to know things only by this mind. All our knowledge is through this mind only. And we also feel that whatever we have gained in this world is because of our ego. Ego means that I want to know this, I desire this, I want to achieve. And then we have learned that thing because of our attachment to that, and then we become something—we get an upadhi, qualification.

And they say you have to give up all qualifications, upadhis—all your attributes. You have to be attributeless—then you know. Doesn’t it become like a paradox? Like all the way we learn in this world—to know that—what method, who will know the method, how will you know the method?

How will you know it? When we have tried what we think we can do, then we surrender. And surrender can be half, incomplete, because we still think, “I can do it.” Let’s have some surrender, and still I can put efforts. Finally, we understand that whatever we think we can do needs to be surrendered completely—Sharanagati.

And with this Sharanagati comes humbleness and humility. It also makes us realize that there is a higher power which is taking care of all of us, every one of us. It had already planned our life, and if we start recognizing it, it starts revealing truth, reality.

Reflection: In Guru Vachaka Kovai, 647, Bhagavan explains that the mind becomes restless by looking at many things. Instead, we are to stop chasing objects and turn within. By staying with the simple feeling “I am,” the mind becomes quiet. In that quiet, the true Self is known as open and limitless.

" Before joining, I can tell you an interesting thing. I was on a webinar on driving and epilepsy, in which the speaker was from Victorian Road Authorities, and there was an interesting case in which they were saying about this man—more than half a dozen times, he had loss of consciousness while driving.

And every time, he survived without injury or with minor injuries, on highways, on busy roads.

An unconscious man driving—I am not saying that this is good, but what I am saying is that…

“Jaako raakhe saaiyaan, maar sake na koi.” When you have to die, you can slip on the bathroom floor and you are dead. And then sometimes, so many things happen and you stay alive—so who keeps you alive?

When we are unconscious, then there is something that is keeping us alive.

When someone enters into spirituality, it looks like it is an ethical thing, a moral thing, maybe, you know…

Too many thoughts come to us, we get disturbed. Let’s do spirituality and get rid of some thoughts, negative thoughts.

But the more you go into it, the more it becomes intricate, in a way.

It starts asking too much from us, too much from the ego, and finally, when your understanding develops, you realize it asks you everything—to surrender, to give up.

Isn’t it interesting, like how the understanding develops, how it becomes more? It looks like you thought you can give only a minute of a day or an hour of a day.

It devours—it just takes up everything, it just finishes you. What you were before—no trace of you is left.

If you see what Bhagavan wrote in Aksharamanamalai, this is what He wrote—that I came to you and you took me as your food, and you have eaten me up, and you have finished me. "
