You have a programming, which is a biochemical process of the own brain, and that is why you are full of models, beliefs and concepts. You are living life from the standpoint of this programming, these different perspectives among many beliefs. All of this has to disappear, but this is not something easy.
All this process in the brain itself is part of the structure of the egoic mind. You are trapped in a routine, in a programming, in different habits, and thus you live as a “person,” as “someone.” This “person,” this “someone” is inside a “box,” thinking, rethinking, acting, reacting. So, living this model is like always repeating the same programming, the same personal motivation.
My speech to you is not about persuasion or beliefs. I only bring you a new perspective, a new vision. You come to me, you say you have lost “your car key” and ask me to help you find it. You have already looked for it in “the whole house.” You have already removed everything out of the place looking for this “key.” So, I give you a new alternative, when I ask: “Have you already looked for the ‘key’ inside the ‘car’?” You may keep insisting that it is impossible for this “key” to be there and do not accept my suggestion or, simply, you may trust this, in this possibility of looking at, of “opening the car” to check it. When you do this, you find out “the key was already in the ignition.” It was already there. You just have forgotten this and you were desperate for a long time, suffering for a “key” that was supposedly lost.
So, this programming of the egoic mind is a matter of oblivion. You have not lost your Real Nature. You have just forgotten It. You are trapped, identified with the illusion of the sense of “someone,” of a “me,” of a “person.” So, all your suffering and despair are in the illusion of not knowing who, in fact, You Are, of believing that “you have lost the car key,” the Truth about Your Self.
Self-investigation, Real Meditation and surrender are the work toward the end of the illusion about “yourself,” of the sense of separation. They break down all this brain conditioning model. The end of all this is the simple and direct perception of the Truth that the “key” has always been in the same place, it has never been lost! That what You are has never ceased Being! The Truth of God, of Consciousness is not something you achieve. It is something you verify here and now! It is not something that is lost, but it has been, apparently, forgotten. If your look is in the opposite direction, you cannot see it directly. You have to look at it directly, so you can see!
In Satsang, I just say to you: “Look at the right direction! Look at yourself! Look inside! Open the ‘door of the car’ and see if the ‘key’ is inside it!” However, as long as you keep on mistaking yourself for this movement of the egoic mind, for this brain apparition, for these thoughts, feelings, emotions, sensations, for this story of the character and keep on sustaining this, this search will go on and things will be shown more and more out of place. This way, not only will you not find what you are looking for, but you will keep on messing with your entire environment. You are going to the outside, you are looking at outside! This "home" of yours, where you look for that "key,” is the world - the world of things, people, places, ideas, beliefs, spiritual and religious practices - and this is only creating more confusion, more mess.
However, the “key” is in its place, the place from where it has never left! Here is the secret of this Awakening, of this Divine Realization! Turning to this Consciousness is turning to the Realization of God! This implies that you will not keep on looking at outside, searching externally and getting involved with the egoic mind, with this subjective world, with this illusion. That is why the invitation on Satsang is always for Meditation, for self-investigation and for surrender!
