At first, you believe in God, but once this Realization is there, it is impossible to remain believing in Him. God is an unbelievable reality! Those who believe in the Truth do not know the Truth. Belief is still a mind’s need, trying to rely on something.
God is a mystery and will always remain so. Prior to this Realization, you do not know Him, and now, in that Realization, God remains unknown. People want to know God, but they can only really know what they are not. You will not know who you are, nor will you know who God is after Realization. You will not know who you are because you are not an object outside to be known or recognized by a subject inside. You will not know who God is, as God will always remain a mystery.
Therefore, this Realization does not provide you the knowledge of who God is or the knowledge of who you are. This Realization provides you the vision of what you are not, and the mystery remains. Liberation, Happiness, Wisdom... This is the unnamable and unspeakable Mystery. Thus, the Sage is not "somebody." The Sage is a mystery, like God. This is something greater than this "you." You can dissolve in This, but you cannot know It.
Many people are giving explanations about what God is and does, but that is mind’s engineering. You have to give up on the mind so that it can dissolve in This, in the Mystery. You cannot solve this Mystery, but you can dissolve in That. So, you cannot explain That.
Human mind, the ego, is such a stupid thing that, currently, it is possible to go to a college “to study about God” and to get a "doctor degree in divinity." This is completely stupid! You may become a specialist in a particular area of knowledge, but this knowledge will always be in the field of the thought. However, God is outside the thought’s boundaries!
Here, I cannot help you to find God, the Truth about who You Are... I cannot and this is unnecessary. What I can do is to help you figure out what you are not. You are not what goes on inside your head, that is, you are not this set of ideas, thoughts, feelings and beliefs, you are not this set of sensations and experiences. So, I can show you how to see What It Is, Life as It Is, without that set of ingrained beliefs. If you can see Life as It Is, you will be free from the illusion of being "someone." This is the mystery of God, of the Truth about who You are.
This is my work, in which nothing can or need to be done. All I can show you is the Truth of what is present when "you" are not, and that is the Truth of God. So, for the first time, you can see Life as It Is, and then the Mystery called God, the "I Am," is revealed.
Philosophers try to explain This, while the Sages only point This out. The Sage knows this "Thing" cannot be explained, that it is not necessary to give explanations about It. All the Sages know is that they don´t need to know but just to Live. Life is just That! Life does not need to be explained at all, nor does God, the Truth. I cannot explain this, absolutely!
The sky is very wide. You cannot believe you are seeing the sky just by looking through your window, as by doing so you can only reach part of the sky. The sky is much wider than what is seen through your window. I can help you to enter into the beauty of Reality, of the Divine Truth, but only if you accept to leave your "window," to leave your "home," to take a leap outside of your home and to stop looking at the sky through “your window.”
What I can do is to show you Life as It Is. I can do this from the moment you abandon the illusion, your beliefs. Truth cannot be explained. Truth is your True Nature, the Nature of God, the inexplicable Mystery; Truth is in action, not in words. Realization is the action of this Divine manifestation, and not this “blah blah blah” that is out there, that are only thoughts, new beliefs.
Do not worry about trying to understand It; You cannot! For over two thousand years, Christian theology is trying to understand Christ, just as Buddhist theology is trying to understand Buddha, and academics are trying to understand the Upanishads, the scriptures of the Vedas, the words of the Sages... That is, it is not only you who are seeking the Truth. In fact, the Truth is also looking for you. It is not only you who are seeking God; God is also looking for you. You are like that prodigal son from the parable of Jesus, who departed from the Father's house.
The image of Krishna is with a flute, Buddha’s is set down in silence and the image of Jesus is with open arms, with his two hands nailed to the wood, but it is the image of the Father waiting for his son. Buddha is waiting in silence; Krishna is playing the flute and Jesus Christ is with open arms. It is not only you who are seeking God, God is also looking for you... This is God in search of Himself, meeting Himself! It is God meeting Himself! Mystery remains a mystery, but illusion, suffering and fear end, as well as all your vanity, arrogance, presumption, pride, desire, affliction, confusion and disorder.
Love is your Real Nature, the Nature of the Truth, of Being, of God. Whatever I am saying points out the Truth, but it is not the Truth, because It cannot be said or explained. My talks work like a hammer in a hand knocking on a door: either the door opens or something is broken due the power of the hammering. This "door" has to open or this "thing" needs to be broken. Something has to be broken, to be undone. "Your house" has to be exploded, just like "your window." The sky is much bigger than you! From here, I can see that you have been missing That for a long time. I have to help you to break away this habit of staying at this "house," behind this "door" that never opens.
People are constantly fighting. You were not born to fight but to celebrate. However, look at you! You have gotten involved in every possible trouble, have filled yourself with duties and obligations, and you have to justify this to the world around you, to people who are struggling just like you.
This is the model you follow. So, obligations appear very soon in your life and to be "someone" becomes very heavy. You grow up and then you have to marry, to have children, to support the family, to buy a house or to pay a rent and, consequently, you have to work to pay for it all. All this is so difficult! Then, your children have children, who also have to be "afforded," and everything goes on. Moreover, look at the world around you! Everyone has to buy beautiful clothes at the mall or to buy and to drive a nice car, but they need money to do all of that and to be just like everyone else.
You have to fulfill many duties, many obligations and play many social roles... You have to show the family that you are successful, that you have children, just like everyone else, or to justify why you did not have children yet, or why you only had one kid and not more, or why you have not married yet... All these things, duties, obligations and inventions are so stupid, mediocre!
What is missing in your life is the Mystery of God, the Truth, the Happiness of your Being. You live all this, which is what everyone expects you to live, and you also believe this is what you have to live, but you remain unhappy, stupid, full of fears, of desires, of attachments, of conflicts and worries. You pay such a high price to be what everyone expects you to be, to be all that you want to be, but once you "become" all this, you figure out you are still not what you want to be, that nothing has been solved, that you are still unhappy and continue to have problems.
Facing that, you shout and say, "Could you stop for me to get off? I want to get out of here!" This is what the Sages do: the Sages get out of it. They will not go ahead, they get off. They say, "I want to get out of all these ‘bonds,’ to get out of this prison. I have to get out of this, of the stories. I want to get out of this world. You all, stay there with your lovely world; I want to get out of it, of that prison." That is why in India they call Moksha, a word that means Liberation, because it is liberation indeed!
This Liberation, which is not a concept, is a reality for the life of the Sage, of the One who realized the Truth about oneself. Liberation implies the end of work, of knowledge, of experience, of desires, of fear. Suddenly, the sky becomes clear, open, there is no more house, there is no more window, there is not anything else, because everything has been broken. Then, you find out that, in fact, nothing is broken... and there is no more sky! There is nothing else!
