You
are the most precious thing . The point is to acknowledge yourself,
because You are the Truth. The purpose of these meetings is the Real
Knowledge of What You Are, and this is fundamental. When you
acknowledge the Truth about yourself, you find out the Nature of
Peace, the Nature of God.
While
you maintain concepts, ideas, opinions, judgments, you are attached
to a model created by the thought. My invitation to you is for this
True Knowledge, something that deeply happens in the Presence of your
Being, the True Being. You can understand It but not within the mind.
This is what everyone seeks in religions, philosophy, and psychology,
everywhere. When they go to churches, to the office of their analysts
and therapists, people seek the comprehension of the Truth about
themselves, about who they are, in every form of external search. But
all this movement to the outside is a separation from Yourself.
Nothing
and absolutely nobody can give you This. You can verify this in
Yourself, but you cannot receive it from the outside. You cannot find
someone, some teacher, some technique or some external achievement
that could give you This. Everything outside is changing. Something
that is here at this moment, soon it is not going to be here anymore.
That is, nothing is safe, permanent; nothing remains immutable. So,
this Realization is a revelation of the Truth you bring within
Yourself.
Basically,
everyone wants to be free, happy, to be at peace, and to live free
from conflicts, problems, and suffering. However, this is not
possible while you mistake yourself for the mind. In the realm of the
mind, your life is this one common to all. You get rid of a problem
and another soon arises. You get rid of a mess and another soon
appears. This "your life" is like a roller coaster in which
one time you go up and another you go down, one time is fine and
another is bad. Sometimes you go through periods of quietness, of
peace, of joy, but soon your roller coaster car goes down, and there
you go to be frightened again. That is, stillness, peace, and joy go
away, and you return to your old model of strong feelings, restless
thoughts, lamenting for bad things that are happening: "People
deceived me!"; "These situations could not be that way!”...
Here,
in Satsang, you find yourself facing what I have called "challenge,"
which is to look at yourself. You need to transcend the common
mentality, to go beyond this roller coaster, this model of inner
chatter, of psychological, mental disorder. You need to go beyond
those motivations of desire, being forced to do things or failing to
do them because of fear. You need to discover something in yourself
beyond this common model. You are "something" beyond the
mind, body, and circumstance, but you must discover This, discover
your Being, your Real Nature, your Essential Nature. To discover who
You truly are.
Thus,
everything you have understood, learned and lived until today is
being challenged now. You have to review your experiences, your
knowledge, your certainties, your reasons, your motives, and to find
out if they are worthwhile, if they are part of the Truth about who
You Are. The challenging here is to hear someone like me telling you
that this has nothing to do with the Truth of who You Are, that this
is pure social, cultural and humanistic conditioning!
Awakening
is something very important. This dissatisfaction, this disquietude,
this void, this feeling that something is missing, is not solved
without the Real Awakening. So the faster it gets clear (not
intellectually but rather due to a real work on yourself), the better
for you. Some want This but on their own way. However, this "way"
is from their conditioning background, from their model, something
that still belongs to their pattern of ideas. There cannot be on your
way! Therefore, all your knowledge is being challenged here.
