Past & Karma and beyond Self Realization

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws8LSQP-zQ8

there was another interesting question

since the past is an illusion why do

masses hold on to it like it is real

it is very interesting what else do you

have except your past

the ego thrives on the past you remove

the past you will see that there is no

individual there is just pure experience

our past is also our knowledge and our

knowledge is also our limitation what we

experience is only that which we know it

is because of this illusion of the past

remove your knowledge and there is

nothing there is not even the individual

this is like a death for the ego and it

is going to resist it because the

tendency of the ego is to stay alive it

is a machine built for survival

clinging to memory is the nature of the

ego you remove the memory it's gone who

am i without the memory there is nothing

there so there is a natural resistance

in the ego about letting go of the past

this is the short answer and probably

this is very clear answer is a part of

the parcel of

being an individual the attachment with

the memory is part of this experience

the memory is in a form of a story that

i was this i was a little baby i was the

young man i was doing this job i was

married to this and that and i am here

yesterday this happened to me and notice

that it is all i there

the memory is connected to the

individual now you will wonder why why

do i need an individual to remain to

remember

the whole past

try to remember it without the eye what

do you have you will find something

interesting that wherever the eye was

not there that

those events are forgotten there is

hardly any place in your life where the

eye is not there probably in sleep

probably dreams this one is not there

there is somebody else

and you will see that promptly the

system has raised all those memory the

only memory that you have in the waking

state is tightly connected with

individuality

how can you let go of it

there is no person without a memory a

person is simply a bunch of memories

yes 90 percent of them are gone but the

the illusion stays that i am that you

have a handful of memories right now

which are useful for your current

survival today you want to get by using

those memories if i take them take them

away there is no today there is no life

so it is not a surprise that people

cling to their memories that is a

natural occurrence that a person is

defined by his or her past take away the

past it's not there

do you think it's a problem

no it's not a problem what is wrong in

having a memory the problem is thinking

that i am this memory that is the only

problem

i am a witness of this memory as a

witness i am already perfect if ninety

percent or hundred percent of those

memories are gone or replaced it does

not bother me at all yes but the ego is

terrified because it will be raised also

that is against its tendency to survive

as soon as i say that let go of this

memory let go of your negative thoughts

the ego is going to resist because its

life is the memory its life is negative

thoughts positive thoughts all kinds of

thoughts

you will see that in your waking state

most of your mental activity is

repeating your past is repeating your

memory it is scanning through the memory

and you repeat it it is scanning through

the memory and that brings up impulses

out of the memory which we call desires

and the body acts on those those desires

and you repeat it every day

it is running like a machine does not

want to change there is a resistance to

towards changing as we grow up the

resistance increases we do not really

mature what you call maturity is more

clinging to what i am as an individual

as a person

with this saying it feels safe in the

past yes today is a struggle isn't it

past is something which is stationary

you can change the future but you cannot

change the past and then yes it is my

home it is home to the ego

and there is no problem at all you see

the ignorance is the problem even the

clinging is not a problem because that

is necessary for the survival what

happens is your experience is not all

positive isn't it

it is technical or experience all shades

are there all colors are there and if

there is something in your past which is

dark dirty which you don't want to look

at

that is also being preserved as a part

of the personality here we enter the

affliction

it is like this in all the layers of the

memory if you study it carefully those

who are interested in splitting hair if

you study all the layers because when i

say individual it's nothing it's a

collection of layers of the memory

without memory there is no layers of

there are no layers of the memory there

is nothing for the individual there

won't be any individual so all this

darkness is preserved as a part as a

structure of the layer

to me that feels unfortunate with for

the from the universal point of view as

nothing big it's business as usual it is

not interested at all what is dark what

is light what is happy thought what is

unhappy thought it does not mind the

variation the the painting that is made

out of all these colors

it's it welcomes all experience it

welcomes clinging to the unhappy parts

of our lives now look at this there is

so much peace here i am okay with

whatever happened in my past this is how

it happened we look at it and we

continue

there is no need to react and replay it

and then react again and then replay it

again from various angles and do the

what if analysis this is what we call as

living in the past there is no need

yes there is a tendency to cling to the

past to keep the past alive just observe

this tendency and let the past be the

past why do you keep replaying it in the

present

there are a lot of things to do in the

present if you don't do anything today

how is it going to go into the memory

the memory will remain blank and there

will be a lot of room for the past to

appear again in that blankness

the mind will try to fulfill your

blankness with the pictures of the past

do you really want it

you see the past is fail it is like

rotten food you want today's food you

want freshly cooked nice smelling food

you don't want something which is which

you stuffed in your fridge two months

ago

it is frozen it is rotten distilled

tasteless yes it is finest kind of food

but it's gone now it is old you will see

that your most positive memory is also

fading like it's colorless now and if

you recall it few times it becomes

boring

the whole of the past is boring that's

why you see there is an anticipation of

the future otherwise we won't be

motivated to live a life that is why we

say that it is an affliction if you live

in the past because there is no

motivation to work towards the future

then

there is too much clinging the

individual is too much this one activity

is dominating too much there is no

individual in the present in the present

there is only an experience as soon as

the experience is committed to the

memory the activity of

identity formation claims it oh it is my

memory it is my experience all this

happened to me

so the individual always is in the past

there's nothing in the present right now

right here there is only experience and

the individual projects the past in the

future so sometimes the individual is in

the future

you have three places to live your life

the past the present and the future now

the problem with the future is we don't

know it it must be used for motivation

then you are left with the present so

you must come back to present to feel

alive the past is dead

so it is all okay it's it's a

mechanism we are born with this

mechanism when we assume a limited form

these things are given to us you cannot

refuse it no no i want a human birth but

i don't want this mechanism of

individuality and past and all this give

me something better yes there can be

better who knows but not in the human

form

you will need to leave this form

there is tremendous freedom in not being

attached to the past that is why we are

not satisfied with the human form that

is why the recommended way is to get rid

of the human form

you can taste it actually you can let go

of some parts of your past that they

were not me who knows to whom that

happened and you will instantly find a

peace in your mind you will instantly

find that a lightness in your whole

being that why i was not that holy who

did all those mistakes and who went

through all those hellish experiences or

even the good experiences because as you

know the mind creates suffering out of

the good experiences also the suffering

is in is in a form of missing i miss all

those good days i miss that person i

miss that event this is suffering

it is not happy that it happened it is

unhappy that it's not happening

it is a strange thing it is an

affliction as soon as you let go of the

past you will find kind of lightness as

if you got wings now you're free

but the more you let go the less

individual you become so you must draw a

line otherwise madness is the result

which you don't want being in the human

form you want to be normal

so the solution is

that which i said in the beginning that

all you need to do is observe the

process of being an individual observe

that it cannot let go of the past

because it will die if it goes if it

lets go of the past the ego will not

remain so this is there is a protection

from the mother nature cannot do too

much of it just be aware of the

negativity that is coming from the past

that is our problem the past is not the

problem identification with the negative

past is causing present to slip away

this is what i see most of the people

they are attached to the past that is

not a problem but they are attached to

the bad parts of it not the good parts

of it

they are so attached that they continue

it even after death in the next birth

and following 100 births what happens is

there is a erasure mechanism also where

the

events are erased but the tendencies are

kept everybody knows this we are born

with no memory of the past but it is not

that we are born with no past at all no

we we take our past with us to the next

life also and they appear as tendencies

nothing is actually erased only the

connection is cut

that also a little bit of it most of it

is we are carrying it right now it is an

accumulation

so this little bit of erasure it gives

us a relief to change otherwise we will

never change because the burden of the

past is too big

so we take advantage of this

new

birth and we try to become free from the

past that is the whole philosophy of

becoming free from your karmic

impressions

your karmic bonds now i can give you a

trick that you don't need to die and

reborn and then repeat it thousand times

you can do it now

you know the mechanism now you can hack

it like a good hacker just do it now see

that the past is an illusion see that

nobody did anything see that it does not

belong to me especially the bad parts

learn from them and then do not touch

them again

you will very quickly find that you are

erasing your karmic

registers it is magic

disidentification is this identification

with the past only past is that which

this individual has done probably

thinking that i am doing it it has done

it there is really no doer but there is

an attachment with the doing so let go

of this attachment and you will

immediately find that your karmic

registers are being erased

your next birth is going to be with

freedom not with the burden

not only next birth your next year and

10 years after this they will seem to be

more free compared to today so this is

the trick

utilize it if you want i keep doing it

all the time you don't need to

forget the past you need to decide

identify with the past oh it happened so

what so many things happen in this

universe

yesterday there was rain day before that

was very hot day do i remember all these

things no i don't because you see the

individual is not involved it was not

done by the individual as in the same

way whatever the body does whatever the

mind does is not done by anybody there

is bondage but but it is very weak the

strings of the past are very very feeble

you break them cut them very easily

just like you ignored the rain you

ignored the sunshine you ignored the

cold days and you ignore the hot days

you ignore the good and bad that

happened in your life oh it happened yes

things keep happening all the time that

is going to give you a lot of freedom

which you will never experience if you

cling to the past

there is a shortcut you see there's no

need to totally clean it there is no

need to forget it and this is called

forgiveness for some reason that we

forgive whatever was done by myself as

an individual this is being free from

the karmic stuff while in the body

so hopefully now you know the answer to

you know why do people cling to the past

and now you know a trick to become free

from it without doing anything because

letting go is not doing don't repeat it

don't replay it like you replay the sale

you play the same cd every day don't do

it buy a new cd watch a new movie

there's huge potential in human life

there is nothing in the past it is just

a device to keep the illusion of the

individual going use it for that and

just throw it through the rest of it

it's not important the present is

important the future is important

i saved your thousand lives now if you

make this thing a part of your

personality who knows how fast you'll

evolve the difference is that of a

bicycle and a jet plane just one simple

teaching about the past

the self has no past how is it alive

that is a miracle isn't it so thinking

that i need a past to be alive is a kind

of deep ignorance

i am alive without the past i am alive

with the past this is knowledge

so if there are no more questions from

your side i'll take one more which will

be our last

topic today there was a question that

is enlightenment or knowing my true

nature the highest level of awareness

and is it only a recognition or

remembrance

very nice very very good question here

what is higher than enlightenment and

there is a good thing about this

question is that he has already defined

the meaning of the word enlightenment

that he says enlightenment or knowing my

true nature yes if you define

enlightenment as knowing your true

nature that is the final absolutely

nothing is needed after this

but there can be questions like what

about my liberation what about this body

what about this mind what about the

jeeve what about the causal body what

about god i want to merge with god and

all

and let me tell you very impolitely that

if there are such such questions that

means the enlightenment or the

self-realization has not happened

or that means you did not contemplate

you did not think about the implications

of your true nature because these

questions are totally meaningless

when you know your true nature

liberation of what merging with what you

are the only one there

where are you going to find somebody

else to merge with you are the whole

what are you going to liberate into the

body mind your illusions even if you do

something to them they are impermanent

experiences they are good as they are

what are these thoughts in your mind

what can it mean when you say all these

things it can only mean that you keep

aside your realization and your back on

your old old track not going forward

going backward again that is stupidity

that is not enlightenment

no i'm not saying that you should not

ask questions yes you see

realization has happened now there are

questions now here you are going to need

a teacher because your mind is not going

to cooperate here so teacher makes it

very quick

the teachers

fortunately on the path of knowledge are

very impolite they get irritated very

easily and so fixes the mind very

quickly

then there are other paths which you

will like hopefully everything can be

done on the path of knowledge very

quickly but some people don't like it no

no no my answers are very important my

questions are okay then try some other

path which is designed for stupid people

and there

you can do all the meditations to merge

with the god and you can do everything

all the kundalini experiences to

liberate your causal body and they will

feed you all the sugar coating

sugar-coated knowledge yes you are this

big being yes you are this whole

universe yes you get all the powers and

all yes you will meet this big entity

and that big entity this miracle and

that miracle these things are for people

who do not get it directly

self-realization end of all end of

everything

no realization seeking seeking seeking

doing all kinds of circus

there is no liberation there is no

merging nothing happens to the body

nothing happens to the mind they are

illusions nothing happens to the causal

body it is a bigger illusion

but the world is suffering look there is

no world also it is a dream

so if the self-realization has happened

it will be final

if there if there is action no problem

the action is happening in the complete

realization complete awareness you see

this illusion must continue this body

mind must continue and then there's

nothing wrong in that what kind of

realization is it if you want things to

change

or you if you want to stop things from

changing

both are idiotic thoughts what is wrong

there

no no i got self-realized now i need to

do this thing and i need to live my life

like this and so on that means the

self-realization never happened

you still think that it is my life you

still think that you are the doer you

know this is very irritating and no

teacher can stand this thing i am

self-realized but i need to do something

what kind of stupidity is this

and so

they will be kicked out of the path of

knowledge remember if your teacher is

so strict if your teacher is

so impolite and looks like your enemy

then you are very fortunate you will be

out of this mess in no time

if your teacher is a very sweet person

and is is promising to fulfill all your

desires all these very very illogical

irrational desires that you have after

realization

then

your whole life will be wasted

this is what i mean by having a teacher

who is very strict they don't like it

they will break your they will shatter

your illusions mercilessly

that is the only way i've seen actually

i've never seen anybody who got out of

it using the sweet parts use using the

long term parts

now they keep traveling on it on it what

are you doing yes i am worshiping this

and that deity is it okay yes i'm

benefiting a lot okay then for a million

lifetimes the deity will keep benefiting

you that is what deities do

what about your liberation yes yes the

deity told me that i'll get liberation

in future

what about your liberation yes this and

that meditation will bring the

liberation it is going to dissolve my

causal body in no time and they continue

like this is it even possible to

dissolve it

is it even possible for a deity to

liberate you why is the deity not

liberated yet what is he doing in the

heaven

it is the same thing like an astrologer

telling you that you will get gold the

gold is in this direction in future why

is that poor fellow so poor who knows

everything about all the gold in the

world and who can predict the future

same thing

if your guru does not get angry by you

you're saying that i got the realization

but i have these questions then there is

no hope

then you have booked a ticket to a

vacation that is going to last forever

so if you are on the path of knowledge

and your guru keeps beating you you are

very fortunate

it is very simple it is a recognition

yes that

yes i am this i forgot continue

it is highly boring

there is no

the firework show here there is no this

grand symphony orchestra nothing

so i forgot my real nature thank you you

told me my real nature

that should be the end of the spiritual

path it is so simple

it is non-event

why do we keep talking about it like

endlessly because of the ignorance the

ignorance is a big big event actually

can there be bigger miracle than

ignorance in this world in this universe

knowledge is very simple it's not a

miracle and either you're going to laugh

once you know your true nature or there

will be tears of joy and that is the

only reaction i've seen on the path of

knowledge there's nothing more than that

once you know your true nature see it's

like remembering and then nothing needs

to be done why do we keep doing it why

do we keep lecturing why are there

satsangs and so many videos and the

programs i'm making you write the

articles

why are there so many meditations and

practices

because

the seeker won't accept the simple truth

it's very irritating i'll tell you
