Love is Wisdom, Intelligence, Freedom and Happiness!

Here, in this meeting, we are discovering how to go beyond the illusion, uncovering a life free from this sense of separation and, naturally, free from conflicts.

You know the basis of conflict always lies in the division, the separation between the "world and I," between “others and I,” "life and I.” There comes the day you may find out your Natural State – I have called It as the blossoming of Awakening, the flourishing of God’s realization – and when you find That out, there is no more division, there is no more conflict.

Your question is if this state is possible, however, this is a totally wrong statement. Realization of the Truth is not a state. Truth, Realization, You as Consciousness, as what I take for the Natural State, is not a state. So, the question should not be this one. You must indeed question and doubt this ordinary state of division, of separation and conflict, in which suffering is present. In other words, you must question what you take for life – confused, disoriented, unhappy, problematic... This is what you must question! What you take for life is just a secondary value. Real Life is You in your Real State, and this is not a secondary state, but a simple, natural, primary state.

Therefore, in Satsang, we are dealing with something very simple, very basic, quite primary! We are dealing with Life as it is, without the interference of the mind, of the thought, of this supposed experiencer. In an instant of Silence, in which thoughts totally disappear, you recognize Life as it is! Life is just this Consciousness, this original Consciousness.

Here, we are always in touch with our Real Nature, that is ever present, this unique Reality. This is your Real Nature: Love, God, Silence, Life. This is Satsang! What you call as the "world of names and forms" is only a consequence of the thoughts, of the activity of the mind. That is why our emphasis is on Meditation.

Is that clear?

So, Consciousness is our real place! You have to avoid this identification with the body, with the mind and all the objects the mind projects. This way, you have the possibility to remain in your Being, in your Consciousness, in your Real Life, in what is Natural!

That is the Truth about yourself, the Truth about what You are. Ignorance begins when thought starts to name things, separating them from Reality. When thought names something, the mind takes possession of that knowledge, separating itself from it. The mind acts like that to remain as a controlling entity. Choice, power and control: the egoic mind cannot live without it. This is total ignorance. Knowledge is the basis of ignorance. You have to go beyond thought and its knowledge.

We have heard a lot that knowledge is power, but power is ignorance! Everything the mind knows is confined to the boundaries of its own limitations. Knowledge is always limited and therefore carries the burden of ignorance. Truth lies in Wisdom, and Wisdom is Love – but it is not that "love" the mind knows. The Love we are dealing with here has nothing to do with power, with knowledge, with thought! Love is Wisdom, Intelligence, Freedom, Happiness!

What people know by "life" (which is not real) is a thought, knowledge, choice and power centered life – that is ignorance, what I have just called as a secondary movement. This is the artificial life the mind knows, whereas Real Life is this primary natural action of Consciousness, which is Love, Wisdom, Intelligence, Freedom, the Real and True Happiness! This is the Nature of the Truth about yourself. This is your Real Nature.
