nick is saying if there is no individual
mind and only universal mind exists why
i am not able to know others thought and
memories another very very frequently
asked question
and the i that is trying to know other
thoughts and memories is this limited
mind is this limited mind
you have taken a limitation
simply because you wanted to isolate
yourself from the
other thoughts and memories of
universal mind
the thoughts and memories are happening
in the universal mind and there is an
appearance of
a limited individual here and that
limitation is exactly this
isolation from the other memories and
thoughts
and that is why you're not able to know
it
if the limitations are taken away then
you are all the thoughts and memories
you are all thoughts and memories you
means this limited individual
you see
so there is no individual mind the
limitations appear in the universal mind
the limitation appear as this
idea that all there is is this mind my
mind it cannot see beyond this thing
that is the limitation and that is what
i mean when i say when you look through
a pin hole on the car on the black
cardboard right now our situation is
like that
we are looking through this pinhole we
do not know what is on my left what is
on my right
that is
we know only that which the senses are
telling us isn't it
what can the senses tell us the senses
are like pinhole what can the senses
tell us the senses only tell that which
we call as physical like we can see the
bodies of other people we can see
objects few objects here
but we cannot see all the activity of
the mind
that is the illusion of the
individuality you can say
not being able to see is exactly the
individual
not being able to see everything
if you take it away if you take this
you know cardboard away
what happens everything floods into your
eyes
all views will come into your eyes
imagine if you were you are able to see
everything
it will be a meaningless experience
experience isn't it
i again give you a metaphor because kind
of very difficult to imagine that
imagine if there are 8 billion people
here and you get thoughts of all the 8
billion people here you become aware of
all 8 billion people's thoughts it will
be hellish experience
because i don't think they think
anything useful anyway so
and if you're able to see everything at
all
then what will be the experience like it
will be pure noise and the white screen
in front of your eyes
that is all you will be able to hear
that is all you will be able to
see
let us say if you are able to
uh smell everything that exists in this
world
on this planet what will the smell like
it won't be any meaningful experience
you can smell something like a flower or
a fruit only when it is isolated only
when it is one experience at a time
that is the whole
kind of point of uh taking on a
limitation otherwise this wholeness this
brahman naruto wouldn't have taken it on
who would like to give up his own
freedom not possible so it is kind of
advantage if you can only experience one
thing at a time and exclude all the
experiences
this is this is an advantage here
in absence of this limitation there
won't be any experience
remember it there is no individual but
there is this experience of being
limited that is what we call as
individual isn't it but when looked
through
the point of view of the self there is
no limitation actually the limitation
itself is an appearance
it is for the time being
and let me tell you what is the
experience of
um
experiencing everything it is shunya
when you experience everything it looks
like nothing
you know i can explain it i can explain
it
let us
go back to our metaphor of movies like
many people know this metaphor that i
usually give it
let us assume there is a screen wide
screen
and
one movie is playing on that screen now
you can clearly see what is happening
you see now project another movie on the
same screen exactly same place i'm not
saying when one box one movie second box
second movie no overlap the other
projection on the same movie like only
one screen
full of two movies
you can still see some things isn't it
it is like
um
sometimes we we come to know the
thoughts of our friends or our
um
like child or wife or husband or
something you see when you live in close
proximity with
people you will sometimes get this
like
paranormal stuff happening
you will some the mind sometimes breaks
the barrier and gets the thoughts
um but
it is like that you know two movies
playing
but it will look like only one movie is
playing but some
fancy stuff is happening very very
strange things are happening here
sometimes there will be one actor from
one movie and sometimes there will be
another actor from another movie but you
will think only one movie is playing
because you don't know somebody has
projected the second movie so this is
how the telepathic communication looks
like it looks like my thought
and whenever there is telepathic
communication people don't do not know
it
they assume that it is my thought
you see that i have explained in a lot
of detail in
the podcast episode on influences of the
mind if anybody's interested
there i went into like a lot of detail
how the mind influences the other mind
so there is no real individual mind here
it is getting the influences it is
actually ignoring most of the influences
that are coming from other minds or you
want to call them other minds and other
parts of the universal mind we are
ignoring almost 99.9 percent of that the
little bit that gets into this
limited peace of mind
we think it is my mind we think that it
is my
it is being
taught by me the memory is mine and the
mind is extremely capable of producing
this illusion of it being my memory or
my my thought because when you look at
what the mind is doing the thoughts and
memories and desires they are already
happening the mind and owns it there is
a process in the mind that owns oh it is
mind it is mine so like nick is saying
oh i can see my thoughts no they are not
your thoughts actually they are thoughts
of the universal mind
the awareness has been limited up to
this much that is what
you are experiencing so let us go back
to the metaphor of
movie
let us project 10 more movies on the
same screen like it is like
getting thoughts impressions influences
from 10 people around you
now it is going to be kind of
very very confusing experience you can
see that there's some movements on the
screen something is you know flashing on
the screen
but now there is no way to make any
sense of what is happening in the screen
now project a thousand movies like eight
billion movies on the same screen
what will be your experience
now nick nick can understand you see
you can now
visualize like
what will hap happen if building movies
are playing on the same screen
it will be total chaos it will be no
experience or it will be dark because
the light is now blocked almost or it
will white which is equal to dark
there's nothing to see
you see the experience is always dual
like it is a mixture of black and white
if it's all white no experience it is
all dark no experience
so whatever is your favorite color you
can assume it the color is on the screen
nothing is happening
so
when you limit things the experience
becomes meaningful
that is the answer to your question why
i cannot experience everything
and let me tell you it is not really
true once your knowledge stops for
expanding the mind will expand the area
of the mind that is now enclosed will a
tiny part
which is our body actually senses it is
totally attending to the senses isn't it
it is ignoring everything else so once
this is kind of
there is letting go of this body happens
which will happen gradually it won't
happen tomorrow then the mind the area
of the mind that is within your
awareness will expand
that is sure to happen i've seen it
happening for myself and for my guru for
many many people they sit there and they
come to know what is going on you see
very famous stories are from um
one guru that i like a lot neem karoli
baba is no more
but
his disciple ramdas
has
been down he has recorded all these exp
his experiences with neem karoli baba
and you will find there are
extraordinary experiences there now i do
not
ask anybody to believe them blindly
because if it is not your experience
that it is not then it is not true
so just continue the purification of
your mind
and you will find that not only these
current experiences and the current
memories and thoughts and the
perceptions are not yours
nothing is yours
nothing is yours
there is no limitation
the limitation that
is there is
to produce a specific kind of experience
that limitation is taken on by the
causal body
it is a bigger experience than um the
physical body experience
and the limitations of the causal body
are taken on by the universal mind
just to have a specific experience
it is all collected back in the
universal memory there is no individual
memory so who is actually experiencing
through the pinhole
the universal mind is experiencing
itself through the pinhole you see the
memory is of the memory of the universal
mind
it's not your memory the limitations are
taken on by the universal mind not your
limitations
they won't stay
don't worry about it
enjoy the experience
you will be able to know other thoughts
and memories and you will regret
this is the best experience for you
right now
ajay is saying it seems impossible to
stop experiencing
so which means that you are always
experiencing
uh you see when you said how to continue
the experiencing let me read what he
said
how to stay in the experiencing
is there
even a second when the experiencing is
not there
well you see
and the illusion here is that i am not
experiencing
now who is having this illusion
who is having this illusion that i am
not experiencing there is experience of
this thought also that oh i am never in
experiencing how to get back into
experiencing
it is just a mind chasing its tail like
a dog is changing his tail you know the
mind is trying oh where will where will
i find experiencing
it is happening you see in form of this
seeking
and that is that is you see chasing its
own tale
just remind yourself i was always
experiencing i'm experiencing right now
experiencing is here and it will be
there
there is nothing actually there is this
timeless eternal experiencing
don't believe what your mind is telling
yes
what you think is not experiencing are
different states of the mind
he's saying them it looks like the mind
fails to look at the experiencer because
it is busy attending to forms
well do not give precedence to the mind
the mind is not primary only the
experiencer can experience the mind
cannot experience the mind is an
experience itself so mind cannot look
the mind is not something which is
endowed with the quality of looking
it is something which appears
in consciousness
it does not have consciousness of it a
separate consciousness which will look
at your real consciousness
it is not like this
so yes the mind is objects the mind is
engaged in objects so let it be the
experience is engaged in looking at the
play of the mind
there is never a moment
in your life when experiencing is not
there
probably he wants and wants to
be in the samadhi
now i just like i said you are always in
samadhi not any kind of samadhi you are
always in the
samadhi
you are always
your consciousness is always without
content
there is no content in the consciousness
what is appearing is always illusion
it is same thing which is looking at
itself
when i'm looking at objects i'm looking
at myself when i'm looking at the body
i'm looking at myself and i'm looking at
the thoughts
same thing when i'm looking at other
people
it is me
so when there is this fluctuation of the
mind when and there is forgetting that
oh look i'm busy in
objects
i'm visiting in activities i'm busy busy
in worldly activities lowly activities
that is just ignorance
that is just ignorance that is thought
that appeared in the mind which kind of
tried to divide the experience
into
a separate experience of world and a
separate experience of the experiencer
it is not possible
just acknowledge that there is this
thought come back to the awareness come
back to the experiencing
whenever you forget and the mind cooks
up the story that i need to pay more
attention to what is experiencing no
it's not possible you see
the attention is kind of activity of the
mind
you can do that
it is already happening that which is
experienced is
you only
you need to dissolve the separation
which can be done by
critically examining your mind like why
did the mind say that i'm not the
experiencer why did the mind say that i
can look at the experiencer
critically examine these thoughts
they're all kind of made of things
there's no reality behind it
the experiencer never goes away the
experiencing never stops
this is our direct experience everything
else is thoughts in the mind do not buy
that stuff okay aj is saying i will
examine well the examining should not
happen in future examining
happens in the now
so
anyway anyway if you want to do it
tomorrow do it tomorrow but that i've
seen that examining is and the critical
examination starts now as soon as you
hear the words that i said
there is no
future there it is instantly available
to you
the remembrance does not is not going to
happen from tomorrow it is available to
you now and it is timeless like
remembrance is
coming back into timelessness
from the activity of the mind which is
time
if the if
you are thinking that it will happen
tomorrow it will happen
um kind of next year when i grow up when
i progress spiritually then it is the
wrong concept it's a wrong idea it will
never happen like this
if it is not happening now
if you are not letting go of the mind
now it will you will never let go of it
i'm not saying that you are incapable of
doing this and then tomorrow or after
one year you will become capable of
doing this no
it is not also like this
so
the opportunities now the opportunity to
look is now is always now
