In this approach to Satsang, you are encouraged to observe your experiences. Before, you had a way of trying to validate them through the conclusions of those around you. In other words, you used to see experiences in a common way, based on the idea of “me and the world,” “me and others.” It is so with the majority! People express their experiences from the standpoint of this formulation.
You are here being encouraged to doubt that, to abandon these conclusions. This way of trying to validate this amount of formulation is pure programming, conditioning. Here, we are trying to explore the Nature of Truth, of Consciousness, of What is present, here and now, as Experience. After all, what is Consciousness? What is this Experience here and now?
The Sages have realized this Understanding. They have come to this Discovery of the Nature of Truth, of the Nature of Consciousness. They have expressed This in many ways! In fact, the only thing that happens around Them is this internal movement of the expression of this Truth. In all great spiritual traditions, the essential discovery is the Nature of Consciousness, the Truth about the Real Experience, here and now.
Consciousness is everything! It is the Truth of What You Are, the Knowledge beyond the mind, something present in each Real and Authentic Experience. I do not speak of a mere experience, but of a Real and True Experience, which is without conditioning, programming, conclusion... It is the Truth, the most Pure and Crystalline Truth!
This is not an intellectual, theoretical, philosophical, or spiritualist speech. It explores What Is, What is the Nature of the Experience. This is the beauty of being in Satsang! So, these lines are like a treasure map. We are investigating and looking at the map, and the purpose is to discover the treasure. The meaning of the words is not in the words themselves, but in the Vision, in the Contemplation of Truth. I talk about this Space from which It is born…
In other words, it is necessary that the illusion be dismantled. You are learning how to look at the right direction, outside the mind, the convention, the common formulation. So, you are facing What is the closest, the most intimate thing. This Presence, this Consciousness, this Truth, this Treasure is the basis of everything! It is not necessary to add something new to It, because It is already complete! This Truth is present and everything is happening in It!
Truth is the content of every expression, manifestation or event, and nothing affects It! All the words spoken here are happening in this Truth, in this Consciousness, which remains unknown, but present and, therefore, available to everyone. This is something immensely clear, obvious, singular! It is so intimate, so real! This Presence is the Unconditional, Divine, Loving Truth, which contains everything within Itself! It is so beautiful, so perfect! This is something wide and open that welcomes everything!
God is full of Love! All possible things are contained within Him, unconditionally! This is the great Ocean of the Unknown! Intellectual understanding is useless here. A real plunge into It is necessary! Consciousness is this open Unknown! It is so open and intimate that every experience, whether tiny or vast, is full of that Presence!
