One of these days, on a social media page of this work, someone asked me: "Do you have free time so we can talk? I would like to know a little more about your life story." I have no problem talking to you a little bit about my story. However, I see this is not the most important thing. Maybe I will tell you a little bit about my story, just for you to realize that your story is no different from mine. It has quite different aspects, of course, but the search for something beyond the mind, beyond a story, is the same.
Now, you wrote here "this peace is the most beautiful thing that exists." Yes, that is the foremost thing! Here, the foremost thing is You! The story is always the same. I have been sharing this with you for some time already and I don't see anything real about this story since it is just about a character's past. You cannot be open to the New if you are stuck in the character's story. Your reason for being here must be to know who You are. The mere curiosity about someone's story will not help you. Discovering the Truth about Yourself is discovering the real meaning of Life, and if This is present, Peace is present.
So, I do not really know what to say about the story since stories are all alike. The purpose here is for you to discover What You are, here and now. That must be the reason for you to be here. For that you need to be open to the New, to be completely open to the Unknown. I want you to find out the Truth internally present, in what You are. Only then you will know Freedom, including Freedom about the known, time, story, the past of this person you believe you are. As a matter of fact, all your problems are absolutely there, centered on a character's story. Enlightenment is the blossoming of the Unknown. So, Peace settles, because Peace is your Natural State, free from this character, free from this story.
You always need the past to reassert yourself as someone, but you do not need the past to be in your Being, in your Natural State – the State free from ego, from the sense of a separate "me," a separate entity with conflicts, dilemmas, dramas, problems… And person has a lot of problems! People do not stop having problems! Actually, people are the problems! You do not come here to improve the "person." For that, you have to go to a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, psychologist, therapist, or a counselor… They are experts in helping people. My specialty here is to help you find out the Truth about who You are, and not empower you to be a better person, to face adversities, vicissitudes, complexities, difficult situations of life.
So, when people come to me asking about my story, they still do not understand I am not interested in the story. I can have clear memories, because I have a brain that has memories, like any other. Memories of facts, situations, everything that has happened – or has apparently happened – but I do not give an identity to it. I only tell the character's story someone believes to exist.
Right now, you are watching me through this video and you are sure you are before a person. But I do not see you as a person since I do not see myself like this. I see myself in What I Am. That is what I have when I look at you! To me, This is the Truth! Apart from that, many stories...
Notice that these stories uphold the whole problem. I see people suffering because they are upholding stories about who they are. This is just a belief in what they believe to be since there is no story in what you are. But, in what you believe to be, there is a lot of stories! Guilt, fear, desire, suffering, all this is always part of the story, always of the characters. They desire because they do not feel complete. They feel guilty since they feel responsible because they believe they could have done differently.
We do not see the Truth behind everything. To me, things just happen. Right now, this is just an event. Apparently, you have decided to come and be with me here in Satsang, but that is not how it works. It looks so, but it is not. You are sure that is how it was, and I would question this until the end. Things happen, as well as decisions are made, however, there is no "someone." Things happen, but there is no "someone." Things are solved by themselves, there is no "someone" solving them. That private sense of identity must be broken down internally. This is a fraud, an illusion! Your Being is not stuck to that character's story.
I know this is new for some of you here since you have been hearing other things. There are infinite beliefs within each one. All of the beliefs are learned by culture, by society, by the world around you. You need to know What You are, who You are. Real Intelligence is present when this way of thinking you know, disappears. Real Intelligence is the presence of pure Consciousness, and This is the Unknown. I could call this "Real Thinking." When there is no thought, there is the presence of the Unknown. Intelligence flows when you are open to the Unknown. Everything you know represents what ordinary thought produces.
So, when you say "this Peace is wonderful," this Peace is the presence of Intelligence. It is the presence of the Unknown. You do not have Peace when you think, when you are involved in calculated thinking, looking for results, to gain or trying to get rid of things. Only when you ward yourself off from this conflicting thought process, a Space opens up. And in that Space, there is Something new, which is the Unknown. That's when you are before Intelligence, before Peace.
By thinking, you do not have Peace. By calculating, you have no Peace. By concluding, trying to make things right, you do not have Peace. Actually, all the internal restlessness exists because thought is present. It is thought inside you that upholds the absence of Peace. Does it make any sense to you?
My specialty is the absence of thought, living in Consciousness, as Consciousness, as the Unknown. So, there are no beliefs, there is not the ordinary process of dealing with thoughts, as it happens to people. See, person is synonymous with people who think, which means an entity present, stressed, worried, afflicted, trying to solve situations, looking for solutions – actually, creating problems since that is all the mind does.
Life is happening without thoughts, but thought arises to create problems. Life is already in Its rhythm, in Its form, in Its way, but you think. You are not in control of what is going on there in your life, but you think you are. Once more, it is thought in conflict with what Life represents here, right now. The desire, the fear, the anxiety, the worry, the despair, the attachment, the conflict to try to change things is all part of it. Life as Consciousness is a Life of Love, of Peace, of Intelligence, without conflict.
There is no Peace if you are angry, and you are not free from anger when your ego conflicts. When your ego is upset, when, for example, a desire is denied, your ego becomes resentful and angry. If there is anger, there is no Peace. Peace is the most desired thing! Not by "people." Peace is not desired by the "person." "Person" has other desires before this. "Person" knows nothing about Peace. People only know about what they look for. "Person" only knows what to gain or to get rid of.
When you are free from thoughts, Silence is present. Under thought's movement, you are constantly placing yourself as someone – someone to work things out, to get rid of things. Someone in the past, someone in the future. Even when the thought is "I am happy," that is an idea, a belief. Thought is continually objectifying something. It wants even to objectify a state. Thought says, "I will achieve peace!" This is to objectify a state.
To investigate yourself means stopping the objectification of internal states. To understand Yourself is to find out this Unknown Reality of your own Being. The thoughts you have about yourself do not represent Understanding. They are mere beliefs cultivated over time. You see yourself as a creature in time, as a person, an entity in time. Peace is apart from time, mind and thought.
Notice that the times you enjoy peace are the times when there is no thought about who you are, about what life represents, or about what is happening within this personal story. When this personal story arises, which is when thought arises, there is no Peace. This is not being before your Being. It is to mistake yourself for a story that thought creates, and this is what people do throughout their lives.
