It is the moment of Awakening

The sense of separation, the illusion of self-identity, cannot do anything to go beyond itself. You are unable to enhance the heat intensity, the strength or the brightness of the morning light; you cannot interfere in the work of the Sun. This Consciousness, this Grace, this Presence is this "Light", so there is no way to make this Enlightenment, this Awakening, this Realization happen. We are facing something that happens naturally, just like the Sun appearing in the morning and doing all the work it knows how to do. So is the Light of this Presence, Consciousness and Grace. Then, the blossoming of this Presence, of this Realization takes place without effort.

When there is communion with Truth from the heart, the Truth is lived, is realized and it flourishes. If you persist in your dream, the dream of this ego-identity, you are within the illusion and there is no room for this heartfelt communion with the Truth. When there is no such space, the dream continues, the illusion persists.

When we meet each other, you come across this "morning light" moment. The Presence of God is this "light of the dawn." When the Grace of the Guru, of God, of this Presence comes this way, then everything happens naturally. My job does not concern the dream. I simply neither support it nor believe in it; I do not live within this point of view, and this is the position of the Grace, of God, of the Guru when He/She meets you.

"When we meet each other, you come across this "morning light" moment. The Presence of God is this "light of the dawn." When the Grace of the Guru, of God, of this Presence comes this way, then everything happens naturally."

You are in bed and it is morning ... It is time to Awake! It is the end of illusion, of suffering, of all despair, affliction, confusion. It is the moment of the "dawn", it is the moment of Awakening! This is the meaning of this work.

In this communion from the heart with the Truth, you live the Truth itself. Then, you can live your True Nature. You gradually become less and less involved in suffering, because it is all imaginary; it is established in the illusion of a separate entity attached to its desires, attachments and fears. Does it make any sense to you or does it not mean you anything?

Realization does not maintain the sense of separation nor any search for fulfillment on the outside. So, the heart in communion with the Real Self is the essence to enable the end of suffering and of all illusion. That’s why I began by saying it is not a matter of doing anything, but of enganging in this communion, in this surrender.

People come to this meeting and face an entirely new proposal: to give up on themselves, to give up on his/her pursuits and achievements, plunging themselves into the Source, into the Nature of Being, returning "home". This is a radical "understanding", a totally different approach to Life, when you realize there is nothing to be done in this world, since everything is already where it needs to be. You won’t improve anything; but you will only create more confusion.

In India, this is known as "karma", that means to receive the fruits of good or bad deeds. Nevertheless this is still confined in the span of the false “me”, of the illusion of the ego identity, of separation. What I have just called as "radical understanding" is the realization that Life is already complete and that the world is fine without “you”.

You are confined in a source of confusion, working hard on it. The Sages in India called this "source of confusion" as the "Samsara’s Circle" - to be born, to return to school, to marry, to have children, to build a family, to die, to be born, to die, to be born, to die ...

There is always the illusion of someone present in the "act of doing", while at the same time there is no one doing anything; there is only the very movement of karma. This is within the illusion, the belief of separation: "The world and I", "life and I" "my deeds and I". Wherever there is a relationship of this "me" with the world, of this "me" with others, of this "me" with life, there will be confusion. This is the "source of confusion", the Samsara.
