Good afternoon. The phone rang just in time. I welcome you with all my heart. I love every one of you unequivocally, unconditionally, just the way you are. How can I do this? I am like a mirror. A mirror can’t see itself, but it sees its reflection. Constantly what I see is love, harmony, peace, in every one of you. I’m seeing myself. There’s only one self, and you are that. You are the one self. We only see ourselves. We see nothing but ourselves. When we look, we see ourselves. We’re all nerds. What do you see in your world? What do you feel in your world? Are you seeing the real self? You’re identifying with Maya, with the grand illusion. You have the choice to see the real self or to see disharmony, problems, confusion. You always have the choice. What is it that we all want? What are we all looking for? Who can tell me what are you looking for? Exactly. Everyone wants to be happy. Everyone. Everything people do in this world has to make them happy. Think about this. Everything that you do, every action that you take, is to be happy. The person who robs a bank, robs a bank because he feels it will make him happy. The person who kills, rapes, plunders, something within them tells them you’ll be happy if you do this. Everything is done for happiness, for no other reason, happiness. Yet, happiness is your real nature.
You are happiness. This is what you really are. It is your true nature. It is not something that is within you or without you. It is you. Yourself. You are that. You have always been that. Ponder this. It does not make things difficult for you when trying to understand this teaching in a way that makes it difficult. When trying to understand something becomes harder and harder. There’s nothing to understand, there’s only to be, to be yourself in what you are, what you are. It’s essentially you. You are that self that is absolutely free, that there’s no troubles, no problems, the more pervasive consciousness. This is you. The minds, experiences in this world appear and disappear in consciousness like bubbles in the ocean. Bubbles come, the bubbles go. The ocean remains the same. Buddies go, minds go. Consciousness remains the same. And you are that. You know that consciousness always remains the same, but it has never changed. Pardon me to do this. You don’t understand this, and you’ll become free and liberated. Of course, you’re really free and liberated, but you think you’ll become something. You don’t have to do this to understand what I’m saying to you. The real nature of consciousness, the self, Absolute reality, and anything that you see in this room and here that you see everywhere else in your superimposition unconsciousness. Things appear as things disappear, but you’re always the same. What you are never disappears, never appears. What you are never was born, could never die.
What you are is the absolute reality right now, right at this moment. You are that, that beauty, that joy, the total harmony, which has always been, this is you. I want to accept this truth and become free now. Never listen to your mind, to your thoughts, and always lead to a strain. Proclaim the self. I am that self, that’s absolutely free, undifferentiated, absolute reality, from oneself, of the presence, of the truth. This is the reason I always say, all is well and everything I’m falling out of the shed. For if you understand the self and who you are, all is absolutely well. There are no mistakes. No mistakes have been there. No mistakes have ever been made.
You are the one true self. You are for all as well. Whether it appears to be a mistake or it appears to be something frightening. And there’s no power over you unless you give it the power yourself. If you accept it, you bring it to life.
There’s no power but yourself. There’s nothing exists but yourself. You create the world by looking at it, by imagining it, by thinking about it. But the world comes from you. It comes out of you. Where else would it come from? through the universe from your mind not good or bad up or down that’s how we perceive it we perceive evil then we get caught up in evil and we create a world of evil and we’re enmeshed in evil on the other hand if we do not acknowledge evil there is no evil where would it come from if it comes from the sky from the devil from God where would evil come from there is only one power One presence. One truth. One else in this reality. How can it be evil? It’s impossible. So you see you’re in control of your life. You can create anything you want in this world. And we’ll come to pass another later. One has to imagine it, keep it in your mind over and over again, and we’ll come to pass. But the wise person transcends the mind, destroys the mind. The mind is not your friend. For the mind is only a conglomeration of thoughts of the past and the future. So what the mind is? Thoughts. Sorts of the past instead of the future. And there is no mind, it’s only divine harmony. Only God, only truth. Like the sun, it’s covered with the clouds. The sun is always there, but the clouds are covering the sun. When the clouds dissipate, the sun shines once again in its harmony and splendor.
And so is with us. The clouds of our mind keep us in bondage to push in place and sing. We’ll be able to be a lot of clouds to dissipate and we’ll become totally free and liberated. We’ll become our own salupa, our own nature. If we always were, we’ll always be pure awareness. As long as everything else is falling out of the chin. Like what you see, change your mind. the bit of your mind, remove your mind, and the whole condition will change completely. Because you’ve changed, because it’s going to wherever you see it, you’re seeing yourself. You’re only seeing yourself, you see nothing else but yourself. Therefore all is well, and everything is unfolding out of its head. There was once a Prime Minister who lived in a beautiful kingdom, was a wonderful king, was kind to his subjects. The Prime Minister It was one day taking a walk down by the Ganges, and he saw a sadhu sitting on the side of the road. He realized the sadhu was like a knight and sage. He went over to the sadhu, frustrated himself in front of the sadhu, and he asked him to give him his teaching. Give me a teaching, he said. And the sadhu said, all is well and everything that I’m falling out of the trig. This is my teaching, everything else. The Prime Minister said, I do not understand, the seller explained, everything that you see is in its right points.
Everything is in its right points. There are no mistakes. This is why I can say all this is wrong and everything is falling out of its head. The seller said, give me a mantra to practice. Give me a mantra. I can practice something. Again, the sage said, all is well and everything that’s going on as it should. Practice this every day. Think about it day and night. It’s your mantra. So the Prime Minister went back to his castle. He started practice. For a few months, he transcended his little self, the mind, very happy. The subject of the kingdom used to come to the Prime Minister every week on Wednesday for a solution to their problems. And he used to tell them what to do. But now when he came to him he told them, all this wall and everything is falling out of the pit. So he said. So the cook came to the front of him, the cook of the castle. And the cook told him, Prime Minister, I feel very upset. I feel very mad. Help me. My wife ran away with the dishwasher. should I do? I feel terrible. The Prime Minister looked at me and said, don’t you worry, all this wall and everything is falling out of the shed. And he said, what? Give me some practical advice. I feel terrible. And again, the Prime Minister said, don’t worry, all this wall and everything is falling out of the shed. So he kicked off real mad. And one of the palace guards appeared to the Prime Minister. The palace guard came to the Prime Minister and said, Sarah, please help me. I twisted my leg and it hurts terribly.
And while we walk, think it’s broken and in complete pain, what should I do? And the Prime Minister said, don’t worry all this long, everything is falling out of the chin. So the girl left three men. He was totally upset. So the girl was walking through the hall, and he made the cook come the other way. They were friends, and the cook told him what happened to him. And the guy said, see if it happened to me. The Prime Minister is trying to fool us. He doesn’t care about our problems. Let’s fix it in good. What do we do?” said the cook. As we were walking down the corridor, they saw the Royal Barbershop. In the Royal Barbershop, there was the king getting a shave. Inventingly, the barber nicked the king’s neck, and the royal blood was flowing all over the floor. The boy put a bandage on the king’s neck. Meanwhile, the cook, and the guard saw all this. The cook smiled and said, Here’s our plan. This is what we’ll do. They went back to the Prime Minister and he said, Prime Minister, guess what? Our Royal Highness has cut his neck and he’s bleeding. The problem is right when we cut him. What do you think of that?” And the Prime Minister said, oh, it’s wrong with everything else running out of his head. And we both smiled and said, this is what we wanted here. And they left and went through the cane. And they said, your majesty, we just told the Prime Minister that you cut yourself and you’re in pain.
And we said, oh, it’s wrong with everything else running out of your head. You couldn’t care less about your neck.” The king said, what? Bring him to me. Here. The prime minister bowed before the king. The king looked at the prime minister and he said, oh, they’ve cut my neck and it’s terribly. What do you think of this? The prime minister responded, your majesty, don’t worry about your neck. All is well and everything I’m falling out of its head.
The king said, how dare you say this to me? Throw him in the dungeon. This is the prime minister in the dungeon. This was Wednesday evening. Every Wednesday evening the king went running and his horse, and he put him inside his side and went horseback riding. But not since the premise he was resenting, he couldn’t go horseback riding by himself. They were in the forest. There was a collie worshiper. He sacrificed the people of collie once a year. And this was the time for the sacrifice of collie. So we heard the collie worshiper said to the people and his hunchman, go find me somebody to sacrifice. So he rode out and their horses threw a good leg for somebody. Sure enough, they found the king. The king came back to the chief. The chief looked at him and he said, What’s this on your neck? The king said, It’s a cut. I cut myself. The chief of the colored people said, Why dare you bring a pure person to me like this? We can only sacrifice a pure person. Put him back where you found him. Put him back where he found him. Let him go. He said, wait a minute. If I hadn’t kept myself, I’d be dead. I would have been sacrificed. This is what the Prime Minister was trying to tell me. Every situation is okay just the way it is. I thought it was a problem for me. It turned out to be a blessing. I’m so alive.
He goes back happily to the castle and he said, we reached the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister was released and he told the Prime Minister the whole story. And Prime Minister said, your majesty, there’s something else in this story. If you hadn’t told me in the dungeon, we both would have been horseback riding, and we would have caught both of us. And you’re impure because you have a cut in your neck, and we would have let you go and sacrifice me, because I’m pure. No cuts. She said, your majesty, all this while and everything was falling out of the tree. And he became a disciple of the Prime Minister. And he was happy to have an answer. at our lives, look at the things we’re going through, things so terrible, things so upsetting. The reason things appear like this is because we’re not seeing the true picture. We’re seeing the picture if we’re looking through a keyhole. When you look through a keyhole, you only see part of the picture. For instance, when you look through a keyhole, you see somebody stabbing someone else with a knife. You see blood gushing in and floods all over the place, and he’s stabbing a person with a knife. This is terrible, this is very bad, it’s evil. You open the drawer and see a completely different picture. You see they’re both actors on the stage. It’s all an act, it’s unreal. Nobody’s being stabbed, nobody’s stabbing. It’s all an act.
And so this is us. Everything that we see is an act. Karma. If you identify with the action, you become part of the play, and so forth accordingly. If you refuse to, if you refuse to acknowledge it, then you feel it. In other words, whatever you acknowledge, you become. If you acknowledge there’s something wrong someplace, and you’re suffering because of that, then it becomes very real to you, and you seem to suffer. But if you refuse to react to it, if you refuse to acknowledge it, then you’re no longer part of this game, and you’re totally free and liberating. So again, your choice is yours. If you make the right choice, then you’ll be happy. If you make the wrong choice, then you’ll think you’re suffering. Whatever you think doesn’t matter because in truth, you know the experience. You are the experiencer, you are the world, you are Brahmin, unconditioned, absolute reality and all is wrong.
