If you are looking for the Truth, for Freedom, if what you want to find out is True Love, Real Peace, you need to abandon living in the personality. Pay attention to this now!
You need to have a passion for This, for the Truth, Freedom, Love and peace. The "person" doesn't know This. You need to reformulate everything internally. You are something beyond, greater, outside the "person." "Person" lives in restrictions, so, as a "person," you are always restricted. Stuck to this "person's image," to this "sense of person," you carry a personality. Then, everything you see around you is from the private viewpoint of this false "me." Nobody has ever told you this in society.
The whole world lives like this! Everything around you, every relationship you have around you, from this false center, is falsified by this. Everything is false from this false center. You will not find love in "people." You have a boyfriend, a husband, a family, but this is not love. This is the result of your conquest, of your desire. You are the Sun and these planets are revolving around you. None of this is love! Actually, as it is a projection of your desire, it is a prison. Nobody has ever told you that.
Everything you acquire is the result of your desire. It is your prison. The whole world around you is created by this false center. As it is the result of your desire, your ego is alive in it. You may not have a child, but you have a dog or a house, your whole relationship is based on that "sense of person."
You cannot die like this. This would mean dying in prison, and if you die like this, you will remain in prison. Real death is when all this ends.
So, if you are serious about the pursuit of Happiness, abandon this false center. This false center is keeping you under restrictions. You won't be happy being "someone." There is Happiness only in Being! People have mistaken this for thousands and thousands of years. In this search for Truth, they found out they are stuck in this material world, so what do they do? They try to get rid of the material world since they think the prison is in this world.
Actually, your puppy, your family, and your house are inside your head. Your world is only yours. It's something inside your head. So, it's no use getting rid of the material world if you're not free from this false center, this false "me."
So, you don't have to get rid of the world around you. You don't have to get rid of your puppy or your house. You must have the freedom of living without the house and the puppy. Living in your Being is being Happy. And being Happy is to not depend on what the mind is holding around you.
You are living under restrictions. All relationships with people around you based on your "person" bring conflict. There is internal tension. Don't you see it?
When you wake up in the morning, the "person" wakes up soon after. That's exactly what you heard! First, you wake up, then the "person" comes up. There is no "person" when you wake up. But when the "person" wakes up and is "in front of you," you identify with the "person" and then there is just this false identity in that experience.
So, you need to step back and remain without the "person" waking up. If you step back and the "person" doesn't wake up, you are Awakened. I don't think I ever put it that way! So, what is it to be Enlightened? It's remaining without the "person" waking up.
The beauty of the Sage is that there is no "person" present there. The Sage, in the morning, wakes up, but the "person" doesn't appear, so restriction doesn't appear, confusion doesn't appear, attachment to the puppy doesn't appear, fear of leaving it behind, fear of losing the child, of losing this or that object doesn't appear.
Your Being isn't attached to your boyfriend, husband, grandson, child, to that beautiful house you have, to that new car you bought. Your Being isn't attached to the car you didn't buy, the husband you don't have, the child that hasn't arrived, the dog you want which is "your little friendly pet" but you still haven't been able to find it. Your Being isn't attached to this, but the "person" is. It is not your Being that distrusts the Guru, God, the Grace. It is not your Being that is afraid of being deceived, but rather the "person." Person is already deceived! If person wasn't deceived, it wouldn't be afraid of being deceived. This is "person's" mistake.
