What should a seeker do after enlightenment?

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPapuFfTe9c

what are you seeking there is nothing

important to seek now

isn't it so let the mind play let the

mind play the game

that it is playing

and

is it

troubling the seeker

destroy the seeker then the seeker need

not need not be there

what is seeker doing after enlightenment

enlightenment is the destruction of the

seeker isn't it

that which is seeking finds himself as

not existing the one who is seeking

finds himself as not existing this is

enlightenment

now what is the seeker doing there

okay so this this should take away this

kind of difficulty that you are facing

but there is another part of the story

because this is a spiritual thing news

you see it is never so simple

uh

you will say that okay enlightenment but

i still have a body and i still have

this mind which is probably not going to

go away very soon

there will be more birth and there will

be births and there will be more levels

of existence after this so what to do

and here the seeking comes back

now you cannot do anything stupid with

your life so you decide that okay i'll

take care of the body i'll take care of

the family and i'll take care of

my business or whatever plus i'll do a

little bit of r d like research

i'll try to

refine my mind and so on

so

you knowingly decide to play this game

and

the mind resistance of the mind the

activity of the mind is a part of the

game

now there is nothing to worry

so what are we saying research and death

seems to be the only options yes

there is

when the seeking is over there is

nothing to do really

even the

next birth will not happen if if there

are no strong tendencies there so it is

a complete death it is total liberation

from

limited existence

it is i'm not saying there won't be any

existence there will be existence the

existence cannot be destroyed isn't it

but it will be end of the bondage

bondage of the mind

so while it is ending while the fan is

spinning down the motor is spinning down

you utilize this time for something

useful you see

get more knowledge

knowledge

you got the basic knowledge you got the

essential knowledge now get the

specialized knowledge which is also

called the began

the

it is not the gan it is began

specialized knowledge which is which

will be mostly about the

knowledge of how the

illusion works how the maya works

we take interest in that

and usually that interest will also go

away as soon as the body is dropped

now everything is open before you now

what what are you going to know here

it is all a play anyway is all a play of

consciousness

so whatever you know here has

absolutely no use the knowledge of maya

is absolutely

useless

because it is not real you see it is

just a play

once you know something oh this happens

in this way you are going to find

something which happens in exactly the

opposite way

because yes why not why not

all all possibilities are there so what

use is this knowledge that the x happens

in the y way so what uses this knowledge

which is not certain where every

possibility is a possibility

where are you going to use this

knowledge you know it as a play and then

you play you play without

worrying whether i know something or not

you see

you drop the certainty also

learn to live in uncertainty that is

what there is actually

the knowledge that

the avignon or the specialized knowledge

that we think is so certain

is actually an ignorance

it looks certain because of our own

limitations

for example you know that

the water flows down always or the when

you throw a stone upwards it falls down

always

well it's not true really it is true

only in this dimension in this limited

experience that we are having

if you take this knowledge to the higher

planes for example or

wherever except this universe you will

find that it was totally useless

it is of no use in other dimensions

so some some other things are true there

you see which are not useful here so it

is mind in the mind everything is true

everything is false and everything is

not true and everything is not false

it's kind of useless activity and that's

why we call it play because it is

entertaining

there is nothing else to do the whole

existence is my play

that is what seeker is doing

you will say that okay you give all the

knowledge on the first day on the path

of

knowledge then on the direct path then

how am i going to spend my life

because i wanted to spend it in seeking

you killed the seeker on the first day

now what and that is where this concept

of play comes in

we like to play with knowledge that's

all and if the mind is troubling you you

you already know that there is no mind

the mind is an illusion the trouble it

creates is are also illusory

so that gives you a place to stand and

play

do not get carried away

do not get

pulled

with the wind of the mind you see

it is like a hurricane it will pull you

but you need to stay on the ground of

knowledge

that is how you deal with it

remain in awareness remain in your true

nature and play play play you know the

seeker is not there

invent the seeker

do something written with it or you see

that is not the only way to spend time

you can encourage others you can

enlighten others spread the knowledge

just like one lamp lights the other lamp

without diminishing in any way or

without any effort the other lamp

catches fire isn't it just bring the

lamp

extinguish lamp in contact with

the lamp that is lighted

the other lamp catches fire this lamp

does not do anything

it takes no effort why not yes it is a

service

so this is the proper service you don't

do anything it is acting without actions

but still you get the results

you you get the positive results

it's amazing it's amazing

so uh there can be twofold purpose you

can say why can't i do both

that is what i'm doing i keep

researching i keep seeking

fully knowing that seeking has ended

and i keep sharing this lighting the

lamps

it is a pleasure it is it is the

it is the only pleasure in this play

[Music]

what else is there you are me already if

you are ignorant you are still me if you

know enlighten you are still me

you do not become something else

you remain me

so it is completely useless but

that is the pleasure that is the play

here parveen is saying

shakti only is everywhere need to focus

on shiv

once realization about shiv is there no

value of knowing anything about shakti

that is extremely true

very very true words you have said it

we do it

anyhow

we accept the shakti also

we see that shakti is playful isn't it

and the shakti is mischievous the shakti

is all illusion it's all lies

so it is a make believe

but we like it you see we accept it okay

you are also me

shakti is also me isn't it

so if you

reject shakti

then kind of this problem because the

married life of shivan shakti is in

trouble now

so

you accept shakti also you see

play with shakti

and

you know you're discovering something

totally useless isn't it

it is like the child playing on the

beach makes the

castle or you know dings up some crabs

or something and leaves them again in

the ocean

it is a totally useless activity but

that is what the child likes

that is what he enjoys it totally

depends on what you enjoy

that is why sometimes i say you know

people tell me ask these questions what

should i do in my life

they keep asking this question even

after enlightenment or knowing their

true nature also okay i know it now what

what should i do now

and that is the essence of the post

enlightenment syndrome isn't it so and

there is a very simple answer to this

question

do that which you like most and do that

which you think is necessary

because that is what is going to happen

anyway there is no doer you already know

there is no doer so why are you asking

this question but no the mind will

pull out a doer from its pocket you say

look here is the door

okay now give something to the doer you

see and what will do or do because there

is no doer

things can only happen and what things

can happen

that which are preferences in the mind

that are that which are set in the mind

the settings the the drive the mind the

drive the actions what are those

settings likes and dislikes

what else is going to happen that which

the mind thinks is necessary mind says

oh it's necessary to keep the body alive

okay keep the body alive oh it's

necessary to have some kind of pleasure

some kind of you know i'll go and eat

outside today and

that is what you like to do

do it

it's all allowed

after this after the realization has

happened

everything is as meaningless and

everything is meaningful

there is nothing to worry about now the

meaning has lost his meaning

this is the essence of maya you see

appears meaningful

but is hollow there is nothing there

mughal is saying the child knows when

the play is over and come back to

reality

and that is not true for the adults

[Music]

pretty clever isn't it yes the adults

are lost in the play

that is what we call as identification

they have taken the play as serious

you see even children do that when when

they break their toys and

whatever you see

they start crying

but then they are engaged in another

play they start playing good and another

toy

they even forget what they did yesterday

it is spontaneous isn't it very very

innocent and spontaneous activity

but adults do not do that they remember

what happened yesterday oh you said this

to me yesterday now i'm going to take

revenge today

they are lost in the play oh no i i

lived a very good life i had a you know

big house in the city now i am back on

the street you see i'm suffering now and

look at other people they are playing

they are enjoying like hell i'm not even

poor

fellow here i have nobody here

[Music]

this is what has happened to the adult

mind

and we have lost this ability to play

so it is all attachment it is attachment

to this body which we think is real

which we think is me it is attachment to

the positions and it is attachment to

the other people

cut all these attachments and it will

become a play then the mind will die out

slowly

it will it will rise above the play also

currently because we are here currently

because in we are in the body

it may not be possible to appreciate

this thing that it is a play

so what you can do like a practical

advice you see

just start cutting your bondages

see where the adult and this adult is

probably thousands of years old isn't it

it is not only this body mind

it is the jeeve it is the causal body

that is trapped in the existence not you

this human not that the body does not

know bondage actually the body is a free

expression of this physical plane

it just

rolls out of the dust it is going back

to dust it is not going to complain

the mind is the troublemaker

it is kind of addicted to the existence

the i will be done yes

surrender surrender this your will there

is no your will because there is no you

so with the surrender comes the real

experience

then the real experience starts which is

a spontaneous arising impermanence

which is purposeless meaningless pure

play leela

that is the real fun there isn't it

you're not bothered what comes and what

goes

oh i i got this thing i succeeded in

this thing

amazing isn't it

but it is as useless and meaningless as

saying that i failed here i could not do

this

i don't have such things that my

neighbor has

or i am not big enough in the society

and that is also meaningless and

purposeless

why is why does it look like an

extremely serious thing

because of the ignorance because of the

attachments

so whenever you find an attachment there

just cut it down cut it down you can

still play why not without attachment

that brings us

and very core of gautam buddha's

teaching isn't it without attachment

attachment is the cause of suffering now

not the body you see not this body not

this mind not the maya

or not

in this existence not other people they

are not the cause of your suffering

attachment you think it is

serious you think it is

meaningful

it is all meaningless meaningless in a

good way that you are not even bound by

the meaning

because if because if you give it a

meaning then it cannot have any other

meaning that means it is mound

it could have had

kind of infinite meanings but now you

reduced it to one meaning and that is

surely going to cause problems because

that is not the nature of the maya

maya does not like to be limited like

this

and so we fall into ignorance by

assigning the meanings

that is the problem

be meaningless be purposeless be free

that is what great teachers have said

isn't it including osho and others you

see it is a free expression why are you

limiting it and the limitation is cause

of suffering

so it was a great idea to be born as the

human being or whatever being you see

whatever kind of monkey or lizard or

fish or insect it was a good idea isn't

it it was a play

now you are attached to it

that is that is what has gone wrong

now spend your time detaching that's all

go back

don't go back to the freedom it is not

important nothing is important here

that will

you know keep the burden down nobody has

told you to carry the burden

throw it away you can walk without the

burden also you know travel light and

enjoy the scenery otherwise you will be

busy taking care of your burden you will

be burdened by it so much that you won't

be able to even look what is happening

around you

you see

you will be like the donkey that carries

the burden you see beast of burden

instead of the owner of the donkey who

is enjoying the scenery who's enjoying

the travel we are all travellers here

what are you accumulating here

it is

yes it is very good that you are you're

accumulating accumulate experiences

because nothing else is going back with

you

like we go to a beautiful place isn't it

in in the

beautiful

mountains rivers the snow-covered peaks

and

like pretty resorts and lakes and do we

bring them back all no what do we bring

back we bring bring back the photographs

we click the photos that is like very

kind of mad modern madness you see

people are busy clicking photos instead

of actually watching it

so it's okay because we want to bring

back the experience we want to bring

back the memories

that is what

we are

here for this

and this earth is a tourist place isn't

it

we are not the residents

here we are this is not our home

this is not really our home we came here

to experience and then we need to take

back the photographs the memories the

good experience

yes

you know this is kind of intelligent

choice

what kind of experience are you going to

take back

the bad ones are the good ones

so if you are in ignorance it will be

like

very bad experience it will be like the

donkey carrying the bird and kind of

experience

if you are free if you are in knowledge

you will be you will utilize this

experience for enjoyment there is no

other purpose here you see even the

enjoyment is not a purpose because what

are you enjoying

it is i'm playing a game of hide and

seek only i pretend that i do not know

what is this i do not know what is this

world what is this maya and then i get

engaged in it and then when i come back

i know it was all false it was just a

dream

so

the enjoyment is also false

what did you enjoy really

it's kind of

meaningless isn't it it's like going to

a movie theater watching a movie

pretending in the movie that oh the

movie is already real

the the monsters and the villain and the

pretty girl there they are real

they are all you know show that is make

believe when you when when the movie

ends you come back and what what did you

enjoy really was it real

was there anything worthwhile to enjoy

was it even

can you call it even a play

yes you can you see it provided a tiny

bit of entertainment while you fooled

yourself into believing that oh

something is happening on the screen

the fooling is the source of enjoyment

you know a temporary suspension of

disbelief

that is the

correct technical term which allows us

to enjoy

a drama or a movie or a story like we

read the books and all we enjoy them

because we know

we won't be able to enjoy them if

if the camera showed up in the movie

or if the whole directors and then the

extra staff showed up in the movie

then the illusion breaks down

now you must be wondering you know why

are some people so engaged in this

illusion they don't even want to know

that this is illusion go and tell

anybody on the street look you are in a

illusory world it is a dream and he will

laugh at you he will think you are kind

of

lost your marbles or something you see

they don't want to know the truth

it is like the camera's showing up in

the movie i don't know i don't want to

see this you know cut it down cut the

movie down

i want to see the unreality

that is more engaging that is more

entertaining

and so we do not see the ignorant people

as ignorant

we see them as they are pretending like

your time will come when you will see

the camera in the frame

don't worry enjoy it as as much as you

want you see

your time is coming

so the ordinary ignorant people are not

kind of lesser

they are not inferior

they are busy enjoying they don't want

to listen to you because

they want this experience the experience

is possible only if you kind of fool

yourself into believing that the

experience is real

it is all perfect already you say can't

you see this thing it's all perfect

nobody's in ignorance nobody is in error

and we are not the big ones who are kind

of

out of this

puddle

the mud pit

the dark bit

it is not like this ultimately it is all

me some parts of me are busy in the maya

some parts are coming out of it some

parts are already out of it

it is it is all okay it is all perfect

and that will give you

like relief

this this kind of realization

will uh

free you from the anxiety what to do

what to do i'm enlightened what to do

now or i'm not enlightened what to do

now

do whatever you want to do why are you

asking it's a play

don't become an adult like mukhal said

don't become that kind of adult remain a

child remain like a child
