Ok, let's wait for a question. Otherwise we can keep quiet. Why not?
Anyway, I have only two things to say:
You are the Self.
If you want to know it, keep quiet.
That's all.
What's your name? - Ardi
Ardi
Good.
Estonia.
What to do?
If this doesn't make you happy, nothing will make you happy. Right?
What to do? As I say. Can't help it. Right?
Comes in the package.
More quiet the mind is, more happy you feel.
Less you think, more happy you feel.
Any question from Kerala?
No?
Don't feel shy.
[Assistant 1] How do you function in the world if you don't think?
Ahhh?! hahaha.
What is the world?
I don't see any world.
You use your mind
for the practicality of daily life.
It switches on automatically. Like now.
Once the job is done
Mind keeps quiet.
The mind becomes like your PA (personal assistant).
Comes to help you out and then it keeps quiet.
Comes to your rescue. Right?
And when it finishes it keeps quiet.
We don't lose our memory
knowledge or anything like that.
The mind is the Self.
It is perceived to be a separate entity. Right?
Everything is the Self.
The world is the Self.
The mind is the Self.
Consciousness is the Self.
The Self alone IS.
When the mind is quiet
Then we realise that.
That there is no world.
There is no mind. There is no body.
There is no consciousness.
There is only the Self.
So, the compulsive thinking stops.
The tendency of the mind to get externalized through the senses
and grab an object and think about it positively or negatively
wanting it or not wanting it. This stops.
Actually for safety reasons we use the mind.
Otherwise people think that we are coo coo.
If somebody asks me "who are you?"
The honest question (answer) would be "I don't know".
If I say this to the police or the migration office...
"Who are you?". I say "I don't know".
Maybe in India no problem. Right?
If in India I say "I don't know" they would make an ashram around me and devotees coming.
"He is an enlightened being. He doesn't know who he is."
There is mind as ego, which is the I-thought.
The idea "I am the body".
That is the I-thought.
If we trace back from where this thought is coming from
it disappears.
So, the thought "I am the body" disappears.
And what remains is what I am.
And that I don't know.
I am that but I don't know what is that.
I know that I am. What? I don't know.
How? I don't know. And I will never know.
And that makes me very happy.
Is not knowing. Right?
Is simply being.
The "I am the body" idea disappears.
The idea that oneself is limited to the body disappears.
The mind comes back.
Bus the identity with it
The belief that I am what I think means "I am the body". Right?
Disappears.
Somebody asks me "hello. How are you? Nice to meet you"
And I say "hello, nice to meet you. I am Cesar." I say "I am the body", but I know I am lying.
And I am laughing inside.
Like an actor.
I am Romeo
and she is Juliet.
I know I am acting.
That's all.
So you act. You do your best.
As if you want to win an Oscar.
That's all.
We no longer believe that we are what we think. That's all.
That anything is what we think.
I can say, "he is Peter from Germany"
Just for a change.
But I know that he is not what I think.
He is the Self.
So I don't know what I am talking about.
Even if I say "he is a man".
I don't know what he is.
It's my Self sitting there.
This is how we function.
So we don't become mindless.
Mind is there, knowledge is there, memory is there.
Everything is there.
What to do.
Happy with the answer?
[Assistant 1]: How to localize the consciousness?
Impossible.
Consciousness is just the capacity to cognize.
The Self is that which is conscious.
The Self is beyond and prior to consciousness.
Sat is prior to Chit.
In deep sleep consciousness is sleeping.
Deep sleep is a state of consciousness. Right?
So is the awakened state and dream state.
So in deep sleep
I am not conscious of anything.
I am not even conscious that I am.
And yet I am.
So consciousness is at rest.
In its u unmanifested state.
Latent potential state.
Is basically potential creative energy.
When that energy wakes up
The first thing that we feel
that we know
is "I am".
When consciousness wakes up
then first thing is that I am conscious that I am.
There is consciousness of existence.
Consciousness of being.
And then there is body consciousness.
And then there is world consciousness.
Then identity with the body.
I-thought comes.
And the I am "becomes"
an apparent individual self.
That is the Jiva, the individual.
It's a thought.
It doesn't exist.
This is why it's called Mithya.
It's a myth; it doesn't actually exist.
It seems that it is actually there. Right?
Mental activity
gives the impression
that there is actually somebody here.
That there is a person talking now.
That there is a separate individual body or a separate individual soul.
If you are materialistic, then I am the body.
Otherwise I am an individual soul in the body.
Nothing is there.
This body is empty.
This is why you are told, "see from where the thoughts are coming from".
What is the person?/Who is the person? "I".
That is a thought.
You see from where the thought is coming from.
The thought disappears.
Means the person disappears.
Then, what is the person?
And if the person disappears
Who knows "person disappears"?
"I"
Then I am not the person.
I am not the individual. I am not the mind.
I am the Self.
Knock.
Who is there?
And you will find nobody.
I didn't find the mind. I looked for it but...
so far...
When people ask me "I want to control the mind"
And I say "what are you talking about?"
What is mind?
There is no such thing as mind.
It's only thought.
It's not a self.
It's not an organ
The mind doesn't think.
Not even "the mind can think".
The mind IS thought.
There is no entity called mind that thinks.
So thoughts do not think themselves.
They arise from the Self.
So the I-thought is a projection of the Self.
Projection-reflection.
It's a manifestation of the Self.
The Self created the apparent individual being.
Is part of the illusion.
So consciousness is basically
functioning.
Is the capacity of cognition.
Sometimes in a potential state. Sometimes manifested.
When there is consciousness
there is the knowledge "I am".
If there is no consciousness
there is no knowledge "I am"
but the "I am" is present"
Meaning by "I am", the Self.
Happy with the answer?
(consciousness) is the capacity cognition. Right?
Is basically energy-light.
Animating the body, illumining all.
But the Self is beyond light.
Is neither light nor darkness.
Nobody can say anything about the Self.
It IS.
...and yet we can know that it IS.
How? It is as it is.
That is why it is called That.
Who are you? I am That.
That means "I don't know". That...I don't know.
It has no name, no form.
No qualities, no attributes.
Is nameless, formless.
and Silence itself.
It's reality, nameless, formless.
It's natural state, Silence.
What to do.
Yes.
Question still is there?
[Assistant 2] It's about yesterday: I tried to practice this.
It's still a kind of effort that I make.
To try to stay still.
That is a trap.
When the mind is still don't try to keep it still because it is no longer still.
Mind is basically consciousness, basically cognition.
But apparently it seems to be that it is a cognizer.
So when the mind is quiet
that is the sense of individuality in it's most subtle refined state.
But at some point
you realize that it can exist only because I see it.
Right?
Then I am not
the individual "I".
Then the I-thought disappears.
Meaning the idea that I am this individual self.
This is why it is also called "the loss of the sense of individuality".
So when the thoughts arise
just simply see from where they come from.
And it stops.
That's all.
You are already witnessing.
When the thoughts arise you are already witnessing.
So there is no effort to witness.
Just remove the thought.
Thought arises. Where does it come from?
You don't have to rise the question.
You just bring your attention there.
Thought disappears. Mind is quiet.
And yet it is fully awake.
Nobody can go further than that.
The realization "I am not the quiet mind"
That is the I-thought.
The mind is free from thoughts.
Only the I-thought is there.
But at some point becomes obvious.
I can't be the I-thought.
Because I am conscious of the I-thought.
So I am beyond that.
I am even beyond consciousness.
Right?
Are you following? - Yes.
As soon as the mind is quiet no more effort is required.
It is counter-productive.
Let the mind get dissolved
In its place of origin;
it is your Self.
When people try to keep quiet
they are not quiet.
They are trying something. Right?
Then "who is trying to keep quiet?"
"Who wants to prolong that state?"
And it stops again.
Mind is quiet...
Forget about the body.
Leave the body alone.
Let it move as it pleases.
Don't try to sit in a particular...
Otherwise there will be fight between the body and the mind.
The body itches.
But you don't want to scratch your nose because...
because you are meditating. You are concentrated.
So what are you doing?
Reinforcing "I am the body".
"I am the meditator"
Relax. Leave the body alone.
Just see whose body is it.
Happy with the answer?
The practical thinking
will happen by itself also.
But you don't have to worry about that neither.
And then you begin to notice "my God, the body is going on auto-pilot.
The mind is going on auto-pilot.
Consciousness is going on auto-pilot.
I am just doing nothing
I am just there witnessing
how everything happens automatically.
Effortlessly.
And the witness is also effortless.
So apart from the thought "I am doing"
there is no effort.
If this doesn't make you happy I don't know what else...
Right?
It's like, you go to the closet
and then "What am I wearing today?"
and you see all that happens automatically.
blue shorts and yellow top.
If you care about that.
All this is happening automatically.
Effortlessly.
And is just reflected and projected back to yourself.
And you leave it alone.
What happened? Too much sun? [Assistant 3] Yes
Thoughts disappear, leave it.
Otherwise you create tension
stress and fear also.
Thoughts disappear.
Means you, he, she, it.
Then the I thought remains standing alone.
This one eventually disappears.
And that's it.
Yes?
[Assistant 4] (Inaudible)
Yes
You are always the witness of the mind.
Always. Effortlessly.
Witnessing cannot be practiced.
It can not be done.
Is what you are.
Because of the identity with the body
Apparently there is somebody witnessing.
But "The witness" also disappears.
And witnessing alone remains.
Experiencing as being.
Is there.
It doesn't say "I am the witness".
It IS the witness.
It doesn't say "I".
Even though the thought "I" emerges from there.
'Cause the witness is the source.
and the substratum
where the I-thought exists.
And it's place of dissolution.
Emerges from the witness
exists in the witness for some time
And it disappears in the witness.
So the idea is to keep the mind
as quiet as it was in deep sleep.
and yet fully awake.
Not sleeping.
[Assistant 5] The Self is manifesting as an individual.
The Self never gets manifested.
It never comes into existence.
The Self is never here.
Some people say that it is the unmanifested.
There is only one book
one of the Upanishads
that says "the Self is even beyond the unmanifest".
This is manifest now
Before it was unmanifest.
So unmanifest...
[Assistant] You are trying to define the Self now.
Impossible
We can't. We can't define the Self.
Who is going to define the Self.
Are there two Selfs?
One that is going to define the other.
The Self is beyond definition.
Nobody will ever be able to speak about the Self.
Ever. Impossible.
Not even the Self knows...
The Self knows that it IS.
But it will never know what it is.
It's invisible to itself.
Is undefinable even to itself.
Sweating there.
What was the question? Sorry.
If the world is manifest now
it was unmanifested before.
So unmanifest is form.
So the unmanifest must exist somewhere.
That is the Self.
So it is beyond even the unmanifest.
I think this is a dialog between Yama and Nachiketa.
One of the Upanishads.
He says, "now my dear son I will talk to you about what is beyond even the unmanifest".
So consciousness is now manifested.
In deep sleep is in the unmanifest state.
But to speak about the unmanifest there must be a witness.
Right?
So the witness is beyond even the unmanifest.
So the world is not here.
This is a manifestation
of the Self.
But the Self as such can not get manifested because that means
that it wasn't before
and now it is.
So what isn't
cannot come into existence.
What doesn't exist
can not come into existence.
This is why they say "Brahman was alone"
And then within Brahman a movement begins.
That means that Brahman is neither moving or not moving.
Some people say it is the unmovable.
But is neither moving nor not-moving.
Nobody can say it IS.
So there was an energy there
within Brahman already there.
So it already existed. It was just in a latent potential unmanifest state.
The universes also existed already
in a latent unmanifested state.
This is why the Vedas says "the creation doesn't exist".
Because it was always there.
Whether it is perceivable
or not perceivable
it still is there.
So they say an energy movement begins.
[Assistant 5] But at certain times is (inaudible)
Is only for the ego, the individual. Yes.
When the individual disappears
mean when the mind is quiet
what is the idea of time and space?
It doesn't exist.
[Assistant 6]: Neither now.
Not even the now. Because the now must exist for someone.
So neither past nor future nor present.
Only the Self.
If there is present
for whom is the present?
The present is the object. There must be a subject.
But the object, present time, is a thought.
And the subject is also a thought.
For whom is the present? For me.
Then who is this "me".
If we enquire it disappears.
Then the present can not stand.
[Assistant] It's eternal.
Forget about that. This is a new-age stuff.
"The eternal present". It's very romantic.
It's a romantic concept of...
"The eternal".
Very romantic, but...
The truth is "I don't know".
Nobody knows.
"I know" means two.
I know something.
And that doesn't exist.
The Self doesn't know anything.
It simply IS.
What? What isn't the Self.
That's the question.
The best thing that we can do
is to forget all.
Forget the Vedas. Forget everything.
That is relative knowledge.
Is relatively real.
It has relative existence.
Is relatively important.
Suppose that you forget everything now.
Still you Are.
So you exist with or without knowledge. Isn't that great?
Right? Everything disappears in deep sleep.
And yet you exist.
Even if you don't know that you exist.
Still you exist.
Isn't that great? I think it's quite...
Again, if that doesn't make you happy I don't know what.
You can forget everything.
But you can't forget that you are.
This you can't forget.
Well, you can but...
But still you Are.
Even if you forget still you Are.
Even if you forget you are the Self, still you are the Self.
Even if you forget that you are immortal, still you are immortal.
Isn't that great?
That even if you think that something is happening to you
nothing is happening to you.
I'm telling you. For me is fantastic.
