i cannot hold on to the waking state
that is not good and i don't do that
when i'm doing my work i'm perfectly
awake when i'm driving when i'm outside
i'm like an ordinary person see
this is loss of control this is not this
will not be called being in control so
awareness should give you the control
losing control means there is no
awareness means that the attention is
wandering here and there
to control your attention is the whole
practice concentrate on your work
what is happening here is because you're
waiting or you know doing something
boring like driving or something
and the mind does not want to face this
thing so it wanders off into some some
other state which is not good
when i was talking about intoxication it
is not intoxication of this kind that
the control is lost no it is not lost so
if you don't have any interest in
activity don't do it don't do it let
somebody else do you are earning a lot
isn't it let somebody else do all this
boring job and pay them good money and
you do something interesting which keeps
you awake
by the way i do all my work i do all the
boring works and i do all the
interesting also going into the public
places
going into the cities
they provide a lot of grounding
otherwise you will feel ungrounded which
is loss of control actually so i do all
the work cleaning cooking washing going
to the market going to the village going
to the city everything getting the car
repaired getting the things prepared get
my hands dirty
everything because that is the
indication of good control isn't it
that means the mind is not pushing its
likes and dislikes on this body you know
what happens when your likes and
dislikes start controlling the body
instead of intelligence there is no
balance left in that life
yes there will be likes and dislikes so
what let them be there you become aware
of them and we need to do that which is
necessary this much should be remembered
all the time this life is not to be
governed by emotions and likes and
dislikes and preferences
that which is necessary should be done
whether it is boring
not boring yes it should be done
skillfully artfully beautifully whatever
you are doing tiniest lowliest kind of
job you should do it skillfully and i
have seen there are such people actually
need not be seekers
worldly people and they are most happy
people have seen most happy because
there is a gratification in doing your
work correctly
so some people will go one step ahead
then doing their work nicely but not
only clean their house they decorate
their house so one step ahead i don't do
that i'm lazy kind of so just clean it
that's all clean it only as much as it
is needed that is my definition of
perfection don't do anything which is
not needed
so that is my view although these states
can be enjoyable like you're sitting in
a plane now there's two hours flight now
what can you do in that instead of
messing with your mobile or something
you know reading some useless book
you can sit and relax that that time is
good for you isn't it you relax sleep go
to sleep the unaware sleep is also good
slowly you'll find that everything
becomes aware
it's pervaded with awareness it takes
some time to get used to that kind of
sleep where awareness is present
it looks like i'm not sleeping
after a few months the new state is
accepted
the mind is accustomed to this new state
adapted
so i think these states
these
non-interest
and this passing i mean it should not
last
forever so awareness does not mean you
know
just drifting off in some kind of crazy
state it means doing this for which you
are here experience human life as it is
completely this is awareness
can you talk about our development of
retaining knowledge are you still
maturing
see depends on what do you mean by our
and you the experiencer never develops
you should know this probably already
know this
the experiencer is the perfect thing no
development and this creature will keep
evolving endlessly i think that also you
know already
now
only thing
that needs to be done is don't slide
back don't slide down this is your
development this is your maturing that
you should have a detector installed in
your mind that detects whenever you're
sliding down a little bit is okay you
know sometimes we lose this equality
awareness and whatever blah blah blah
things spiritual stuff it's perfectly
okay but if your overall
direction is downwards
by which i mean towards the ignorance or
darkness then
it is not called development
yes there is no need for change and the
change happens
on its own there is no need to force it
just ensure that you are not sliding
down that's all
so this creature is maturing yes no
doubt about it it will keep evolving for
how much time forever i'm perfectly okay
with that you see evolution means that
there is always something to get always
there is no end to it so you will always
remain dissatisfied with your level of
evolution today i have become only a
human it's too bad isn't it we are on
the lower side now evolve do something
let it happen let the change happen you
enable the change and then you become
enlightened human awakened person too
bad then you become a god i am only only
lower god now i need to become a higher
god
you will find there is a hierarchy there
also hierarchy of angels and gods and
goddesses dissatisfaction the creature
is never satisfied with what it is that
is the driving force for the evolution
otherwise the creature will never evolve
so seeing this
we neither demand that nor we
reject that
in buddhism you will find very definite
steps of evolution they have given it
very nicely the arahat stage and the
rahan stage i don't even remember the
names we are not really concerned about
that what are we concerned about drop
the human form i am concerned only with
this much drop the human form
you have taken this form since a long
time now those who need this form they
should continue actually and they they
need more experience more learning they
should not drop it so your guru will be
able to tell what you need to do and for
most of the people i see who are on the
path of knowledge they will drop their
human form coming
births few lifetimes this is natural
need not be done just keep your
preferences on the higher side be more
human be more more than human have this
will intention to be more than human and
it will happen as it should happen
that's why i said you know effortless
we should not prevent it we should not
demand it the both things are there so
let it happen as it is
why did i say don't slide back because
there is a danger that you will drop in
ignorance you are doing this
job of evolving which simply means that
you be in knowledge nothing else to do
so
evolution cannot be done by somebody
like she said experiencer does not do
anything obviously it is whole and
perfect complete so and the creature
cannot do anything because creature is
only puppet
so who does it it happens automatically
so let it happen there is no practice
that will make you evolve it is
happening automatically the thing is
there is a desire in this creature to
evolve which is natural isn't it as soon
as it sees an opening as soon as the
creature perceives that there is more to
be achieved it goes there
the old is seen
like a prisoner it is like a cage and as
soon as the door is open it escapes
wants to escape so you are happy as a
human isn't it no problem at all but as
soon as a higher possibility is shown to
you that there is a possibility of
dropping the human form then this will
comes to progress
develop evolve whatever you want to call
it
in some of the masters they recommend it
because you know end of suffering
forever
right now also there there is no
suffering that much you know but this
thing does not know it this thing the
creature will never know it so it must
be ended this is the view of some people
there are some more people like you know
in spirituality everything is okay after
one stage you will find that everything
is okay there are all viewpoints are
actually right so there is no coral
between these viewpoints so some will
prefer to come back as humans because
the real work is here the work is needed
here you see they will say like this
there is nothing in the clouds nothing
to do in the clouds come back on the
ground that's what they recommend
bottom line is you should have a control
over this
business of incarnation that's all i
think that is my viewpoint that
once we
evolve to the higher side it does not
mean that we lose our ability to
become human again no it is like
when you
learn to drive a car you don't lose your
ability to drive a bike and when you
learn to drive a bike you don't lose
your ability to
ride the cycle the bicycle and obviously
you don't lose your ability to walk so
the evolution is inclusive actually it
includes the lower always
if you look at the human body it has
everything from a single cell to the
human everything in between is present
it has not actually left the lower it
has accumulated over it this is
evolution
what do i suggest is you know keep this
option of coming back as human because
who knows you will need it someday who
knows your guru someday your guru will
ask you to go and do some service
there are stories of some masters and
they came back as animals also animal
form half animal half man who knows what
is possible what is possible here so
need basis
do that which is needed
can you tell a consecutive temple to
visit in north
there is nothing in north and nothing is
south the temple is within the real
deity is within you visit that that
place often if you still have this
will to go here and there then you see
the vritti's are still strong then you
choose any temple and go you know
explore
there's no
no harm in exploring it's a lot of fun
actually but the real temple is within
you and once you reach there the other
temples are like fake cardboard sets
fake nothing in temple they're like a
curiosity toys so i also do that
sometimes you see but
it's becoming less and less
see if you are open to knowledge or you
are open to the guru field for
inspiration then you will get it in your
bathroom also bathroom is a very good
place to contemplate nobody disturbs you
there you don't need a temple
i'm not joking
if you are open then
everything is a temple everything is
sacred everything is consecrated if you
have no opening in you if you are not in
a receiving posture then even the
biggest temple in the world will do
nothing for you it is just stones
bricks and the statue is just beautiful
stone sculpture that's all nothing in
the statue i don't worship
so this tendency to visit places if it
is strong then it needs to be exhausted
visit a few places and you'll find
totally useless waste of time you could
have done something better in that time
you see you could have done something
better with that money that you are
spending but yes it needs to be
exhausted sometimes like all tendencies
their desires must be fulfilled and they
go away they are not going to stay there
so i also did that now and very soon i
came to know nothing will be found there
so it is better to visit ashrams i tell
people don't go to temples because the
statue will never speak to you go to the
ashram where the guru is sitting the
guru will speak to you
why do you need an artificially
consecrated thing to teach you something
to give you something you have a living
entity which is called guru the ashram
is the best place for
a seeker on the path of knowledge and
i'm not saying go to the ashram
which is concerned with purek go to any
ashram see what you gain from there all
gurus are same you see one guru has all
gurus in them
they change colors like a chameleon all
the time they're like this so
go to
some good ashrams visit some good gurus
that will be better
use of your time
you will be helped by these things
sometimes no doubt but the best place is
to go within
on the part of knowledge there is no
recommendation that you should achieve
this thing you should achieve that this
creature should do this and do that
there is nothing like this it is always
told that you are whole and perfect and
you are the highest ultimate this is
what power of knowledge is teaching
now why do we drop down to this level of
illusion where it is recommended to do
something because the seeker needs it
that's all because the seeker has
not arrived at that state where it can
simply let go there is a lot of energy
in the seeker it wants to do something
something is given to exhaust that
energy that's all it does not mean that
it was necessary it is simply done as a
play
so like you said if it becomes a
millionaire no problem no problem at all
if it is not living an ordinary life
perfectly okay as a concession sometimes
the guru will teach the lower teachings
because
the seeker is expecting something the
expectation must be fulfilled and after
a while the seeker realizes that you
know all i did was participated in the
play which is perfectly okay
it is happening anyway there is no do
where so it should happen
anybody who is dying naturally will
travel from this world to the other
world you know like poetically saying
and
they can be aware of the both states the
waking and the after death state we
don't even want to call it projected
state because you know now the body is
gone
so
it is the post
death state
those who die unnaturally they don't get
this chance
something else happens to them and
those who die
with a lot of chemical soup in their
body like medicines
injections who knows what so and these
people who do die unnaturally they hold
they try to hold on to the body for some
reason attachment or fear they do not
get this opportunity because
you see this body is now blocked so it
is unable to express what is going on at
the higher level so we never come to
know where are they reaching
it's all illusion so one illusion is
replaced by another illusion one dream
is replaced by another dream
one should die natural death fully aware
fully knowing what is going on no fear
should be seen yes death is also an
illusion yes everything is illusion
isn't it
there is no death only state change
state change of the memory structure it
changes it every day you know this time
it's a little bit special that's all and
that that the state will not be changed
back till there is a rebirth then state
changes back to waking but a new body
will i see you at the time of my death
or some other relative
make an intention right now what do you
want if you have the proper intention
the same thing will appear there if you
don't have any intention then the
volunteers on the other side
they will do
the need for they will do whatever is
required if you have specific kind of
intention hold that intention at the
time of your death and you will see me
also
there is no guarantee that it will be
original me or somebody appearing as me
but it hardly matters because
in that state
this substance is so fluid the copy is
same as the original the copy is same as
the original who is original do you
think somebody is original here this
guru that you are listening to is also
an illusion if you want the same
illusion to appear there here sure it
can be done
hold the intention
don't worry about what is original
nothing is original
i am fake and you are fake
it is not a problem to
teach from different parts but if the
student is not mature he is going to get
confused
so it is recommended that initially at
least you should stick to one very
narrow teaching set of teaching once you
are you mastered it then you are free to
do whatever you want
like a
artist you know initially an artist
draws exactly like his master he simply
copies his master
master says don't do any experiments
right now you need to learn how to draw
how to paint once he has mastered he has
become like the master then he's allowed
to do whatever he wants waste a lot of
paint or whatever he wants he will do
same way sometimes i take the liberty
and when i go into other parts like i
said but the newcomer should not get
confused by this you know he should
follow the instructions exactly
follow one thing master it you will see
the
program is like this it goes straight to
the point nothing else is given there
sometimes i mention
words from other parts or the
the ancient words for this thing which
is our tradition so you know people
should not think that i made up all
these things so
it is recommended to stick to one path
and once you have mastered it you can
explore other things very easy
once you know the path of knowledge you
will know everything
