Good evening. I welcome you with all my heart. It’s good to be with you again. There’s only new people here today. I welcome you. I am called Mumble Ziyani. Because I mumble a lot. People come in here explaining here for France’s lecture, and I mumble. Where is the mumbling? Look at the words. You’ve been listening to words all of your life. I look at you now. Forget about listening to words. And sit with me is what you need to do. Just to sit together. After all, if you observe the universe, the planet turns around its axis, this planet is turning around the sun, the universe is being hurled through space right now, tremendous speed, the sun shines, the flowers bloom, the wheat grows, life comes and goes, all this takes place in the silence. The sun doesn’t talk and say I’m going to warm the earth, the clouds doesn’t say I’m clouds doesn’t say I’m going to bring rain to the earth, to wheat doesn’t say I’m going to grow. Everything happens by itself in a beautiful way, according to its divine plan. The divine plan is for you also. You just keep quiet and listen to it. If you learn to shut up, you hear it. You put yourself in the way by talking, talking, talking, always talking. You’re going to change in your plan by talking. Learn to be still. You’re brought to believe you have to make a point. Perhaps you run a debating team in college, make a debate and like to argue. What good is it in this world? Look at the precarious condition the world’s in.

One thing is absolutely no good whatsoever. In high spirituality there are sounds. No noise, no talking, sound. You say, well if I don’t voice my problems, who will I understand what to do? How do I want to get advice? If I don’t tell people my problems, who’s going to get the right advice? All the advice you need is within you. The thing you have to have is within you right now.

Everything, there’s nothing missing. Everything’s missing, you’re right this moment. You can keep quiet, and if you listen, you’ll hear it. You’ll know what to do, in every situation. But you refuse to listen, because you’re talking so much. You’re proud, arrogant, intelligent. These are virtues you were brought up to believe you’re supposed to have. You’re supposed to have these virtues. Intelligence, pride, ego. Forget it in this world. When you develop humility, things take a turn for the better for you. There’s no way you walk around with arrogance, obnoxious, thinking of everything, intelligence. You know when it becomes bigger and bigger. I get caught up in the dream of minor. Totally caught up. You get lost in it. It goes through it again and again and again, thousands and millions of times, before you become free. So we think we’re in thousands and we know something, but we don’t really know anything. our own body is, what body you’ve got, what body is this. Your parents gave you a name, but were you really the same person you were 20 years ago? When you look at a picture of yourself 20 years ago you were somebody or somebody else, you’re not the same person at all. You’re a completely different person. 20 years from now you’ll be somebody else again. Why are you really? Therefore you cannot say I am Frank, because Frank has changed completely. He knows the name given you, so people call it by that name.

But who are you? What is that cat? Take it for granted you were born in the nest with other cats? What is the cat? Nobody knows. Nobody knows what a cat is. What is that cat doing here on this earth? We have no idea. What is this dog? Same thing. A tree. A mountain. What are these things? We’re born into them, we take them for granted. But what are they? They’re grown up by the… Everything changes and changes and changes constantly. Cats, dogs, mice, people, mountains, rivers, become older and older and they fade away eventually. A new life is brought upon this earth, and the game continues. Where are you? Where did you come from? Where is your source? When you begin to understand that you don’t know what anything is, this is called the Vine Ignorance. And unless you have the Vine Ignorance you can never find yourself. I want you to understand why I never used to let it unfold and become free or liberated. Asking questions, always working overtime, out of doubts, uncertainties, fears, frustrations. You’ve got to become free. You’ve got to become a little child. You’ve got to become a little child. Full of awe. You don’t say I know where this is. observe a cat or a dog look at it as if you could see it for the first time see yourself with this animal where did it really and where did it come from when you see the sunset, be full of awe as if you see it for the first time if something wonderful will happen to you you’ll suddenly become one with the item that you’re looking at you’ll merge with the item that you’re looking at you’ll become the cat or the dog or the tree or the flower and be looking at yourself if you’re walking around the world you can seek an ego saying I know this and I know that Then you’ve got a problem. Drop everything you’ve ever learned. Drop everything you’ve ever learned. Right now.

It’s been a waste of time, waste of effort. What does it get you in this world? You get to a better job so you earn more money? But you’re happy. Statistics show us that more people are killed by suicide than wealthy than people that are poor. We’re looking for things to make us happy. The things that make you happy are only temporary. If you believe that if I can only have this in my life, I’ll be the happiest person in this earth.

Let me tell you that you believe this. You say to yourself, if I can only have this in my life, I’ll be the happiest person in this world.

And when you acquire the item, how long does it last before you are unhappy? And then you need something else. It’s all a game. You’re stuck in the game you’re playing. You refuse to get off the game.

You’re playing a game called Maya. You’re going to lose him. you’re acting on a part and we need to put a check down as real so you get excited, frustrated, mad and things are going your way forget about all this drop it all be calm, peaceful it never comes to you if you become peaceful and quiet this is true serious problems when they arise and they’re very noisy when you get too involved in this world problems come automatically when you begin to let go of everything and essentially sometimes manage this world consciousness I am pure awareness. I am such as an ender. You’re vulnerable. And smile. Feel the secrets in your heart. Day by day by day, your awakenings get to yourself. Don’t be looking at other people. Don’t compare yourself with anybody. Don’t take care of yourself. Let’s need help from you. And if it’s 20 years, a wise person begins to understand that you must find out who he is or she is. Just try to find yourself who you really are. How do you find out who you really are? I don’t think anything. be yourself be yourself right now the imperishable self it was never born can never die the self expresses itself as consciousness a natural consciousness the substratment of all existence can take a place within you totally the universe is expanding itself from inside of you you’re the source of all creation you’re all pervading through your consciousness this is your real self this is you, not feeling sorry for yourself, stop believing that you’re a human being, who has to resolve his problems, straighten things out, make conditions better, you’re all gods, you’re all a person shining, so be free, when you’re going to say what I’m talking about, you’ll realize there’s nothing to say, what can be said, words just get in the way, nothing correct nothing to change nothing to do for you are the one here you are eternity you are brahman the absolute reality act this way stuff act like a scared chicken act like a real self powerful for all the poise between the words you should be accepting the poise between the words you should be accepting this is where the power is between the words there’s no teaching there’s no teacher, there’s no people.

No one has to learn anything, there’s no one that’s doing anything. You are the one. Your nature is total freedom right now. Feel it. The world and that sense is the most in you that’s leaving you right now. The world and the calm is, are being transcendent. The subscurs are being transcendent. Right now you’re being totally free. You’re totally free now from everything. Instead of doing all of this freedom, by forgetting about the past and the future, living in eternity at this moment, and now that you know who you are, continue the truth. See yourself as all-pervading. Exceeding to the entire universe is present in yourself. The world comes and goes into this universe and brings everything within you. You are the world that’s doing it. Anything that’s taking place anywhere in this universe is happening within you right now. The world is well. Exceedingly well. Everything that’s falling as it should. There are no mistakes. a real soft law as well
