Here, we have the opportunity of one more contact with ourselves. Satsang is the contact with Reality, this Reality we are. It is very important that you are open and learn to prioritize this meeting with yourself.
The mind is constantly emphasizing the object. The mind sees itself as the subject and emphasizes the object. It seems that all your experiences happen on this level. They are experiences for a subject, and the vehicle of that experience is always the object. Your search for experiences is to find what you want. However, it seems it is never found. Something is always missing. Something remains incomplete, no matter the quality of the experience you have or the importance of the object you are in contact with.
You, as a "subject," caught in this vision of the mind, never see yourself complete, you never see yourself really satisfied. There is constant dissatisfaction. No experience is complete for the "subject." Experience itself is never the problem. The problem is the illusory presence of a "subject" in the search for an object. Take it to different areas of your life. This observation of the illusory nature of the "me" is essential.
You need to figure out how to live free from this search. See that an object cannot give you what you are really looking for. When you realize this, you begin to become conscious oriented. Here, I use the word "conscious" in the sense of a real sense of orientation. When you have that, your life is re-orchestrated or rearranged.
The word "orchestra" reminds organization, a perfect organization. So, to re-orchestrate is to reorganize. People's lives, in general, are not organized. You need to realize that when you reach the object, when the experience takes place, what is really wanted is not found. What you get is just a brief sense of satisfaction. This shows this satisfaction is not in the object itself, is not in finding the object. This satisfaction is not in the experience. This means the cornerstone is You, not what you are looking for. There is something about you that remains essential, independent, free from objects and experiences.
You have been programmed for a constant search – the search for objects, fulfillments, and accomplishments that never happen. The mind is continually present, messing up. There is no such organization, such orchestration when the mind is present.
When I use the word "orchestra", the first thing that comes to you is a huge hall, where musicians are seated and organized in a way for a concert to take place. There needs to be an order there, organization. Your life is like that. When there is that Real Sense of Life, that Presence, you are before Grace, the Beauty, the Truth! This is your association with what is real, which is You! This association with Yourself is the association with the Divine! When that happens, there is no longer an internal dispersion since you stopped emphasizing objects. When you stop emphasizing objects, the mind leaves that position it was in.
I have been talking to you from the standpoint of this Order. This speech is born and points out this Order. Now, it takes maturity for that to happen, and not emphasizing objects anymore brings that maturity. That is when you question, explore "your life." When you do that, this energy dispersion does not happen.
Do you know what I call an "object"? Everything! The relationship with everything! A very common thing is this dispersion through thought. Here, thought is also an object. When you live in hope, you are living in imagination, in that imaginary future thought creates. It is a kind of a "daydream." This is just an example of an object, in which the mind is continually looking for fulfillment and satisfaction.
The fact is that while there is imagination, even if it is hopeful, positive, the mind is still within its space, within its own territory, also creating negative imaginations and fears. So, there is hope and hopelessness, the desire and the fear. This way, there can be no such ripening.
Be practical and stop imagining! Stop searching in the mental world through knowledge, through experiences, through hope, through imagination, and turn yourself to the present Reality, which is You, this Consciousness free from the mind and imagination. If you abandon imagination, you are free from fear, free from the future and also the past. Your past is as imaginary as your future, and vice versa.
So, you become mature when you investigate, when you observe, when you understand what goes on internally, when you stop depending psychologically on objects, on thoughts. Thought is constantly revolving around hope, around the desire to get rid of something or get something else.
You differentiate animate from inanimate objects, but I do not. Your little pet dog is also an object. Whatever is serving some form of temporary and psychological fulfillment is just an object. From the mind's viewpoint, people are also seen this way – a thing for self-fulfillment.
That is why there is so much frustration, so much suffering. There is so much dependency. So, there is a lot of fear! How is happiness possible in the midst of all this? How is peace possible in the midst of all this? A confused life, without order... It is like gathering many musicians inside a room, all with their instruments out of tune, completely out of order, and think there is going to be a musical concert. They are not sitting in their right places, the instruments are out of tune, the conductor did not come...
Your mental state, your life, is the opposite of orchestration. When there is Orchestration, when there is Order, Freedom, Peace and Happiness, there is music, there is art, there is beauty – not from an object, but rather from the absence of the "subject" illusion. When there is this absence of the "subject" illusion, there is no problem! I have emphasized to you the importance of not dispersing energy, of being aware of yourself, your actions and reactions, your resistances.
The foremost thing is that all of this subsides – this illusion of your own actions, this illusion of maintaining yourself as an element of reaction in relationships, and this serious issue of resistance. All of this must subside until it disappears. Otherwise, you will remain trapped within a prison – the prison of your reactions, of resistance, of ignorance, of illusion, of suffering. Thus, there will never be Freedom, Wisdom, Intelligence, Enlightenment. You will be just a "person." There are seven billion people on the planet; you will be just another one of them.
So, this prison must disappear. The moment everything disappears, there is no more object, no more thought, no more tension. There is only Stillness, Silence, a limitless sense of Bliss, something like when you unpretentiously take a walk in a crowded park of trees, with birds singing, and suddenly, for a moment, all your worries disappear, all objects, in your mind, are no longer present. The future and the past are no longer present, only the body walks in that park.
This is indescribable! It does not belong to the mind, to psychological time, to the sense of "me," and there is no object anymore. At that moment, everything disappears! So, there is internal Clarity, Intelligence present. You are no longer acting, reacting, moving from the "person" point of view. Then, there is no longer any dispersion of energy. A space opens up...
This is the principle of Meditation – a complete emptying of all internal content, of all that mess thought causes inside you. Thought is very disturbing. Thought is the presence of the object for this "subject." If the thought is gone, the "subject" is also gone. There is Something present that is not part of the "person."
A "person" then appears as an illusion. The entire person's content disappears. At that moment, you do not have a name, you do not have a story, you do not have memory. There is not this "person" that you know, this set of memory, remembrances and imaginations.
We deal with you about What is essential and, when you have eyes to see it, you see! My work with you is for you to have this direct Revelation of What is internally present. You are important, not the experience, the object, nor what happens. I talk about your True Nature, your Essential Nature. This is important!
