Shanti shanti am. Peace. Good evening. I welcome you with all my heart. It is wonderful being with you again. I love each one of you unconditionally and equivocally.

For when I look at you, I see myself. There is only one self. Therefore, I can only see myself as you. You are a joy to yourself and to the universe.

You are wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you whatsoever. Never believe anything is wrong. Never look back. Always remain centered. Steps fast in reality. Try not to allow your mind to sink. For when the mind begins to sink and the trouble starts, problems arise. It is as if you were the ocean of bliss and then bubbles arise. Bubbles are like your thoughts. The bubbles cannot really do anything to the ocean. The ocean only remains as it is. On the surface where the bubbles are, there are all kinds of things happening. Bubbles are bumping into each other, bursting. New ones come, all the ones go away. Bubbles come, bubbles go. Yet the ocean always remains the same. And so it is with us. We’re like the bubbles. We’re here today, we’re gone tomorrow. We’re attached to ourselves as a person, place, and thing. We seem to have all kinds of problems. Yet if we look at this picture correctly, this is only the surface, not the truth, not the reality, the surface. The surface keeps changing, changing continuously.

And you learn to keep still, to keep quiet, and to react to things. You begin to expand. Not because you wait too much dinner,

But you expand consciousness. You become yourself. You become what you’ve always been, pure unalloyed happiness. People like to hear me talk about these things,

About the highest truth, so to speak. You want to hear me say you are unalloyed happiness, you are sat-chit-ananda, Brahman, the ultimate reality, choice-less, influence-less, pure awareness. We like to hear these words. They’re good words to hear, but unfortunately many of us have not possessed the capacity to become this at this time. Even though it is your real nature, your mind has become very strong, very powerful, and it keeps you thinking, thinking, thinking continuously, constantly. This keeps your reality hidden from you, as it were.

Consequently, you have to acquire humility. You have to have a tremendous humility. You have to walk around and say, I am consciousness, I am Brahman, I am God. I am the absolute reality.

And the next person who puts it in, you become angry, you become mad. Once things are not go your way, you become mad, angry, upset. So you’re fooling yourself. And the last thing we want to do is fool ourselves.

We want to be totally honest with ourselves. completely, totally honest. To do this we have to have a tremendous humility. It means we have to surrender all of our stuff, everything we’ve been holding on to, to God, who is within you, who is you. Yet you do not feel this power, so you do not feel that you are God. It is the reality. You feel human. You feel hurtable. You feel suspicious, doubtful. As As long as there’s ego, that’s how you’re going to feel.

The only way to get rid of the ego is to surrender it. Surrender the ego by becoming humble and developing humility. It is written, the last shall be first and the first shall be last.

What this means is those of us who walk around in pride, telling people our consciousness and our Brahman, will one day get the rug pulled out from under us.

Those games will keep still, keep quiet. I’m not argumentative. will not have a chip on their shoulder will not worry about the future the past will remain centered in Brahman they will be first meaning of course I’ll be enlightened I’ll be self-realized for when there’s humility it pulls your ego out of you for when you have humility you do not worry you do not fret you do not fear and humility is perfect strength and humility is perfect beingness you’re not concerned when you’re going to be enlightened you’re not concerned when you go to awaken you’re not worried about these things at all forget about these things have mercy on yourself and on the world have mercy on the things that are going on in this world the deathly things taking place all over this world have mercy on these people develop loving kindness towards yourself and others and not take sides and not say these people are right and these people are wrong that’s what the average person does you’re not the average person have mercy on everybody remember the whole world is you you are the universe when you’re having mercy on people you’re having mercy on yourself when you practice loving kindness to people you’re practicing on yourself for you are the one who experiences all of this where else would it come from if not from you do not try to change people do not try to convert people simply have mercy on people forgive them but I know not what they do.

Forgive everyone. And the being who death is will awaken almost immediately when they stop singing to themselves. They observe the homeless. They’re crippled. And they have mercy on them. They’re loving them.

And love is the greatest power in the universe. If you can only love enough, then you become absolutely free. You must develop love. And that’s suspicious of death. Vastfulness. But love. pure love unconditional love if you have enough love you do not talk too much but love speaks of itself a beautiful flower you need not to declare I am fragrant or a very natureous fragrance therefore you need not to declare I am a good person I help people forget about yourself love others in the way they are and leave them alone love the world just the way it is That’s how people change. That’s how the world changes. They’re loving it. And be humble. Love humility. If you can only do this, you don’t have to constrain yourself about realization or awakening or liberation. That will take care of itself. Always remember, there’s no use memorizing beautiful words, beautiful phrases, beautiful cliches, saying to yourself all over again, I am Brahman, I am consciousness, whether you hate your fellow man, and of course cause trouble in the world, by malicious gossip, what you are speaks for itself. Forget about the past. You can never come back again. If you’re not thinking about the past, then there’s no future. The future only arises because of the past. But if you stay centered in the heart, then we’re safe. That’s where God is. That’s where holiness is. That’s where all the sages are. Through Christ, the Buddha, Moses, Shiva, all these sages that Well, they say you’re within yourself. You are them.

You are you. And you are them. You’re in your heart right now. But if you do not turn within, you’ll never feel them. You’ll never see them.

It is only through turning within that you become aware that you are the Buddha. You are the Christ. You are Shiva. But if you keep reacting to this world,

Then you’ll always believe that you’re a human being. Frail. Born to die. With problems in between. and you’ll be one of these people who will affirm every day life’s a bitch and then you die you’ve heard many people say this they say this because they’re looking at the human self, they’re looking at the human consciousness they’re looking at the world as human beings they’re seeing themselves as part of this human race so certainly seeing the peer terrible but to whom do they appear terrible?

To the real self? where does God know this terror? in the so called terrible world, where does God live? What is God doing about all of this? God is simply doing what you would do. The way you react, the way you see things, that’s the way God sees things. Because after all, God is created in your image and likeness. You have created God in your image. So that’s what God is going to be wherever you are, wherever you see what God sees. Consequently, if you see a terrible world, a terrible universe, and feel like the other part of man’s humanity is a man, this is your God, don’t you see? It is your God, the only God you know, God of terror.

And you’ve got to let things happen. When people say, how can God let this happen to this world? Why doesn’t God come in and change things?

How can God do this? God’s not separate from you. There’s no separate God up in the sky. He comes around and changes things. You have to be the changer yourself.

When you change things, God changes things. For I and my Father are one. If you have seen me, you’ve seen the Father. What I’m saying is, never look outside of yourself. or any help of any kind.

All the help that you need is within yourself. You’ve got power. You’ve got strength. You’ve got everything you need to find yourself and become free.

When you look outside of yourself, you create problems. That’s why I always say to see everyone as yourself. That’s just other sufferings. Real self, which you really are. See everyone is perfect.

Wonderful. And you’ll become like that. Or after all, you’re not the God of business. Who else would do this but you? There’s no one in this entire universe but you. It’s up to you.

Think of yourself as the only one in this whole universe. And whatever you see it becomes, what do you see? Poverty, lack, organization, sickness, death, dissolution?

Or love, peace, joy, happiness, understanding. What do you see is up to you? You have a choice to see what you will. Begin today to act as God would act.

Just for a day. Act the way you’re saying God would act. Stop blaming people. Stop hating people. Look at people as God would look at them.

Again, let me remind you, the only way God can look at them is by looking at himself. We’ll recall God that’s anybody but himself.

And you are that God. Therefore, you’re seeing yourself wherever you look. Ponder this. Remember these things when you get up early in the morning out of bed.

I am the one, say to yourself. there’s no other but me I observe this day I have created I create my world every minute, every hour every day I am the creator and there’s no other creator but me so you start off with your own body look at yourself and say who am I?

Am I this body? with its needs, its wants, its desires its compulsions am I this body? and from now on who am I? am I this world?

Am I this universe? Or am I really? Everything keeps changing constantly, consistently. Nothing is ever the same. Even like while my body keeps changing constantly, consistently. Getting older all the time. Heading towards the end. Am I this person who’s going to die from old age? Or am I? As you keep inquiring this way, something wonderful begins to happen to you. You become happier and happier. And the days go by, the months go by, the years go by,

You notice the things that used to annoy you stop the one annoying you. The things that used to bother you stop bothering you. The things that used to make you angry did not make you angry any longer.

You’re becoming free simply by inquiring, Who am I? Who am I? If thoughts come into your mind, you inquire them when they come. Who thinks these thoughts?

So you keep your mind quiet, peaceful. When you observe a situation in front of you, you don’t have to react to it at all. Just observe it.

Watch it. You don’t have to react to it. As an example, if you’re looking out your window and you see a car crash, you don’t become excited or worried or hurried.

You run outside so you can help the person without any reaction, without any fear, without any anxiety. Help the person all you can and go your way. this is how you should live in this world the worst thing you can ever do is to worry about yourself to be concerned about yourself is there really karma in my life that molds me the way I am molded that makes me appear to be a puppet on a string manipulated by a load of karma is there such a thing well as long as you believe you are body there is a karma where the body is of karma when you go higher than the body there is no longer any karma when you start reacting to the conditions and there’s no longer anyone that accrues any karma.

Karma is only accrued by the person who reacts to life, who feels hurt, who feels upset. But if you have transcended your feelings and you no longer react hateful or spiteful to people,

There’s no karma. There’s no fear of karma. Then the question arises, well, will I still have to work out my karmic debts from previous lives?

Again, only if you do not know the truth. Only if you keep insisting that you are the body or sinned, made mistakes, and you feel this deeply, then karma has to return to you. But if you begin to realize that a person who has made mistakes or has sinned is no longer yourself, that person has died a long time ago, and you give us love, you exude peace, joy, happiness to everybody you meet, there’s no longer any karmic deficits you have to experience. We’re free from karma. In conclusion, keep seeing yourself as totally free, unattached to anything.

Practice loving kindness to yourself and to others. Have mercy on this whole universe, on yourself. Leave things alone. Don’t try to improve anything or change anything or control anything. Die within yourself.

Die as equal as you’ve ever died before. Find time to center your attention and your heart center. On the right side of your chest. focus your mind and your heart and observe the mind go into the heart being destroyed totally and completely see the light in your heart identify with as light as yourself you are the light of the world you have always been the light and you are the light right now do not worry about tomorrow but know the truth now and tomorrow take care of itself be still and know that I am God All is well. You refuse to talk, eh? I’m talking about myself because I’m so aware of that, so much vanity. I don’t want to have any more of that talking about myself, so it’s one of the factors. I was sitting in my car and this came about partly from a book I had and partly from what I was imagining, seeing a movie with imagination. And I saw a lot of career yesterday and today in Morshava, that the world is created new and ever new perception. And I was imagining, I was seeing a movie, and there’s a movie where a horse, either a horse going into the sunset, and then in imagination I was going to where the film was, I was tearing the film out and looking at the film, and I had to write down the word film frames, I don’t forget. And the film is made up of a lot of film frames, you know, And just by the way, none of the film frames changed as the horse moved.

But I saw that when I see a film frame, I don’t know what is 100 seconds. The experience that I have is only of that. I don’t have any experience of the frames before or the experience of the frames after. At that second, there’s just pure experience. And afterwards, I call it seeing a horse. But really, I don’t. I see the world, I don’t know where it’s at, 150th or 100th, whatever the thing is, and that’s pure experience, I don’t see anything before, I don’t see anything afterward, in pure experience, there’s nothing like that at all, and then I was imagining Robert moving his head, and really I don’t see Robert moving his head, because I just see experience flash like a fractional second, and at that point the head doesn’t move at all, and I don’t see it before, I don’t see it after. And all of these… There’s no way to begin with. Yeah. But that’s all the truth, because there’s different levels of what I saw, and there’s no way to begin with. But all these experiences are just pure experiences. Afterwards, I labelled Robert’s head, and afterwards another thought comes in a different construction. I labelled the horse moving. But at the time, it’s just pure experience. And there is nothing there, just like the ice came after. There’s no ice came there at that fracture of a segment of enjoyment. It’s just pureness. pureness. Afterwards I have a later product called Robert’s Head, and the pure experience is exactly the same as the so-called Robert’s Head, or so-called Force Moon. There’s nothing happening at all. Nothing at all. Only at a certain level, the world is new with every perception.

And even that isn’t true, at that level here, because I call it afterwards the world. But there’s nothing happening there too. Nothing at all. That’s good, Fred. So if you stay centered in the self, and what you’re saying is true, nothing else exists in the second. Fracture the second. But when the mind starts to think and you start to expand the mind, then the world appears. Yeah, but that’s already a leap, actually. Pure expansion is nothing there at all. I sit there all the time. I knew how to do it, I would do it. Is it true that if the mind is moving, it’s not possible to be in the moment? Yes, it is. Because the mind moves in time and space. The mind is completely still in time and space. It doesn’t appear at all. There’s no time and space. Right here, right now, there can’t be anything happening at all. If there’s anything happening, right at that split second, there can’t be anything at all. Because even one speck of the fourth is the beginning of every man.

Of course. There’s a mind that creates time and space. And it fills up time and space with objects. So as you say, if you’re staying centered in a split second, there’s no time and space in your eternity. All eternity is right there where you are.

You’re no longer body, you’re no longer body, you’re no longer mind. There’s no people in the world. there’s no God, no realization. As soon as you light a mind to think, creation starts again. Yes. And yet the capacity for that to happen is there, certainly. You’re all right, Bob. But if there’s really no duality, why is there the capacity for duality to arise? That’s called an hallucination. Like, why is the sky blue? It appears to arise. Nothing arises. Nothing ever has to arise. It’s the mind that plays all these games with you. This is why we are told to kill the mind. And everything will be gone. And it will be free. It’s time for Prasad.
