Only by attending Satsang, before a Buddha, you are able to see how far away you have been from “home.” This is so with everyone! You need to give yourself time in Satsang to slightly approach the meaning of the word Happiness, the meaning a Buddha applies to the word Happiness, since happiness to you means the relief of a superficial and specific suffering you have at the moment. So, if you do not give yourself time to investigate this in Satsang, you have no chance to get out of maya, to go beyond samsara.
Do you get what I mean?
The state of unconsciousness is profound and the state of "loving this lie” is too strong. As a consequence, the ego is already satisfied with this superficial joy of worldly distractions, even because it provides for immediate relief to that specific and superficial suffering the egoic "mind" lives in. But what this egoic "mind" carries in depth, hidden behind this superficial suffering, is much bigger... This suffering is wider. As a matter of fact, the mind’s search for suffering is quite unconscious and intentional due to its miserable and illusory state of being: something constantly passing as you.
If you have the opportunity to be here as you have now, and you simply turn your back on This, you are prolonging the misery, you are missing This. Do not do such thing. Do not remain as the "master of yourself"! You are completely lost in this illusion.
What is the question?
Participant: I was wondering if it would be legitimate from our side to wish to stand before You in order to relieve the suffering, or if this would be another trick of the ego and the mind...
Master: You cannot do anything else at the moment. Any move you make out of this full Consciousness, under this egoic-state of unconsciousness, is still not the right thing to do.
You should not come to me to relief the suffering, but rather to investigate the illusory nature of the suffering. However, once you come here, you notice your suffering is relieved. It is better to be here in relieved suffering, even knowing it is temporary, investigating the real nature of the suffering’s illusion, rather than taking a glass of “cachaça” [Brazilian drink], filling yourself up with whiskey, drugs or night outs of orgies.
Here, you have a moment of Presence, of Grace, when you feel temporarily relieved of that burden of suffering, but together with that, you have the opportunity to investigate the illusory nature of suffering. So, this, here, is no longer an escape from your pain, but a door that opens up to show you pain is an illusion.
Now, you have to allow yourself to strengthen this together with me, because otherwise it may take a long time for you to stand on your own legs. If I, as a doctor, prescribe you a "medication," you should take it... You should not question anything. You have no authority to question my "medical knowledge," whether there is a better "medication," another kind of a more effective treatment... You may even do that, but you will be wasting your time.
This is like getting on a plane, getting into the cockpit and saying: "Can I talk to you? Did you drink today?" You need to trust in the airline company and in the pilot. Here, you need to trust in your "doctor," you need to trust in your Guru. If you do not trust in your doctor, the disease can evolve to a more severe condition. If you do not trust in your pilot, you will, for sure, miss the flight and be late to your appointment at your destination. If you do not trust in your Guru, you will continue to suffer miserably.
My words are wise, my Heart is noble and the atmosphere around me is of Freedom and Happiness. You either welcome or lose That! From the first day you meet me, you are facing a miracle. Wise ones are those who have not been far from my eyes since the day I met them. Blessed are those who have accepted, since that day, from the day of the miracle, this approach I have with them today.
Every time you are with me, forget about everything else. It is the moment of trust... it is the time to blindly accept these words. You have no way of knowing whether the pilot drank or not; all that your doubt can do is to make you miss the flight. All that your doubt can do for you is to aggravate your clinical condition, because you did not take the medication. All that your question can do in this contact with God – who came to you on a miraculous day – is to prevent you from receiving this Blessing. This expression "what is impossible," "what is only possible for God in your life," is what we call as a miracle. A Buddha in this world is a miracle... It is your miracle!
Do you think I spend many hours studying to bring these lines to you? Do you? Do you think this is second-hand knowledge? Is it knowledge I am dealing about? What am I dealing with here?
Participant: It seems to me it is the Truth, I have nowhere else to go.
Master: Yes, I am the Truth! Fresh, New, Spontaneous and Natural, and you are just like me... The same Freshness, the same Novelty, the same Freedom, the same Intelligence, the same Wisdom, the same "thing," but you have to be quiet here. You have to give yourself that! Give yourself Freedom... Give yourself Wisdom... Give yourself Happiness, Peace, Sanity. You do not have to go anywhere else anymore.
