Winning Is Losing And Losing Is Winning

Sometimes we get angry at people and the world and we want to voice our open and defend our rights as humans. For self realization this approach is not good, simply reverse it and be nothing! When you are nothing you become something extraordinary

 

Winning is losing with Self Realization, remember who is talking—the ego (your name) is nothing. It does not exist and so are you. If you feel or experience take it for granted it is the ego that feels and experiences, The Self Cant experience. Now as a mind and body until you become humble and see that being right is more ego than being wrong you cant be free…you are “no thing”, act that way, if you are something- an “ego” you can speak and have your way.  Ever seen a dead leaf. it falls with the wind, the dead leaf has no ego., be dead like the ego, accept what comes and let go of what goes, be nothing, be empty. If you are a nobody you will never care of right and wrong. Funny everything will come your way when you expect nothing

Expectation is ego; take this opportunity when such problems arise to be nothing and egoless. It is a good path to choose to know yourself

Karma And Self Realization

Karma And Self Realization

 

Question: Or is all this undoing of past thought/karma and changing realities and thoughts… is that they are all pre destined too? Like going from not being able to have the desire due to past negative programming to removing those blocks and it just easily manifests. I have done it so many times which is why I didn’t understand when you said “some just cant get desires no matter what” well maybe all this mind power I put INTO getting it is pre determine your saying too

 

 

Answer: Karma is for the body and mind and not you. If you are seeking the Self , the doings, the environment and the world itself should mean nothing in your path to realizing the Self.

In human terms you can’t change karma without creating a new one. Even searching for the Self is destined, every breath, every thought is destined. The whole essence of finding the Self is realizing that you are not the body and mind and that the entire search was pointless to begin with. Pointless as “you are not the body and mind”. Even Buddha spent years searching and then one day sat under the bondi tree and realized that all effort he has/ had done was keeping him away from the Self , because effort requires mind and mind is ego. I have always said without effort/mind you cant get there and without searching you will never get there however all that effort is an impediment to Self realization.  Why? Because mind is the obstacle to seeing who you are!. There is no place to get to and there is nothing to acquire for you are already the Self. There is yourself, there is nothing to get, nothing to see. You are THAT, one and complete. There is no experience, no karma “there” as well. Karma is for body and mind, leave it alone and allow the body to do what it has to. It will do with or without your cooperation. If you think you can change you can…but what i am saying is you really cant because you and everything else is part of the script of life or knowledge, You are the Self…it has nothing to do with it. So long as you think you can change, you can but it carries with it karma. Do as you please no harm but understand who is doing it. There is no doing in the final reality. There is no experience and no sense of doing or not doing. This is all mind. The reason why saints say don’t play with Karma, is that it is a never ending cycle. For every good you create a bad and so on.  Forget Karma, forget the mind and body and forget yourself. What remains is THAT

 

 

Sex And Finding The Self

Sex And Self Realization

Many aspirants find it hard to deal with sex. It is the one desire most people can’t get enough of. Every body fantasies about having the ideal sexual mate and fantasy and sex is one thing people find it hard to renounce. By renounce I don’t only mean suppress I mean understanding Sex

Most saints ask their aspirants to renounce sex; some will use methods such as visualizing women without their skin. So that one can understand that they are sleeping with blood and bones. Ser what lies behind the skin? I don’t think that is necessary but I understand why they advocate such practises. Sex is the most powerful desire there is, it is deep rooted and can sway the strongest man or woman. Sex will strengthen the ego. The ego is the cloud that covers your true nature. The bigger the ego, the bigger the cloud
and the harder it is to find your Self. There are untold stories of men who kill for sex and women who kill for men. Great kingdoms have been built and then subsequently destroyed for Sex. They call it love. However they are mistaken, that is not love. It is lust and hate in disguise, it is lust and ego at its highest form
True love requires no one to be an object, it requires no object for it is Yourself. True love is seeing what everything is and seeing that there is nothing or no one to posses. True love is being your True Self.

What sex gives the ego is a tiny interval of “no mind” For at that moment of orgasm there is no ego present and the mind and body like this and wants more and more of it. Equating the act of sex to this bliss, the mind seeks more and more sex. The seeker the ego gets stronger. after all there is  an “ego” seeking out sex
so what does one do if they are young and desire sex? Suppress it? I don’t think that is the answer. Express it? I don’t think that can help either because you will want more and more sex- the more you get it the more you want it.
The key is to understand. See that sex is nothing but a thought and a longing for a blissful state which by the way is your true state that is covered by the ego that is looking for sex.

See that an orgasm gives you a glimpse of your true self. That bliss is already present you have only to uncover it. Seeking an object to get bliss is a closing game; you will forever be chasing shadows, wishing and hoping for something that is illusionary at best

Just stop and look! You never look at sex, you think of sex, but you don’t look at it. If you looked at it you would understand it

understands the body and mind have certain acts to perform and certain people to have sex with. Some people will never have sex. Point is, if it is written that the body and mind is destined to have sex it will
nothing you can say or do will stop it and likewise if it is destined not to happen it will never happen. Which can be verified by the fact that most sexual fantasies and longings go unfulfilled?

If you really had control you and all bodies would get what they wanted.  If it were so that you could have all the sex you wanted every one would be getting lost of sex, money and the things minds want. However this is not so for karmic reasons and the fact that you are not the body or mind

in reality everything is what it is, no need to change anything from the point of view of the Self, it is complete and whole. Self is always here. It is the screen on which all
sex and human interactions can happen
-I am Self and so are you. The word Self is nothing but a concept but I use it here to help with your understanding

so have sex if you must…you can do as you please but remember who is doing it? The ego! No harm. The river of the SELF is here when you are thirsty for Self it will always be ready for you
So have sex no harm. It is not as issue. Understand there is nothing wrong with it. Just when you follow it. Ego is following it? The ego is in full force….it gets stronger and stronger and you might very well get lost in it

Drugs and Self realization

Question: What’s your thoughts on drugs and Self realization

 

These are not questions for me. By that i mean  the Self does not see wrong or right as humans do. Everything is god/ knowledge/ mind. When an aspirant asks questions like this you must simply take note of “who is asking this question?” If you notice you will see that all questions are the same be it on sex, drug or money. In all cases the mind is looking to grow, to be active , to seek a reason why something is good or bad. It is the minds nature to active. It simply cant stay still. For most people if they were to confront the mind they would go insane. So the mind wants to know right from wrong, there is no such thing, the wrong is the mind itself or the Ego. The “I” That wants to know is the problem. Understand you are not the body and mind so why this question? See my point? it is pointless and moot

Sex, money and drugs are all the same, it is what it is! Knowledge or your thought. if you are looking at the Self these things wont matter. You can have sex or not it does not matter.  However if you are focused on seeing who you are , these questions would not be a reoccurring topic. In human terms drugs will hamper the mind because you need intellect to focus, so you need mind to be alert to weaken the mind ..a paradox itself – again this is why Faith in the Master is needed. You need mind to understand but mind is the obstacle itself to Self Realization

Self Realization – Do you want it bad enough?

 

Self Realization – Do you want it bad enough?

Question: I read this yesterday. Wow what a reply. Thank you. I’ve been very free lately almost like floating. That last week was a tough week for me. I’M feeling great now.

 

But the point I wasn’t sure was a mistake in the book misspelled or not was “you can’t have things and not be attached to them”

 

How is that true. You have a car, yet your not attached therefore you have it without being attached. Maybe it was meant in a different way?

 

 

 

Answer: the freedom of floating will continue a little you must say it’s not true and do not stay in it, understand that this state is not true. You must forget it- which  means understand it is not true. Many saints get stuck here. So to get past this blissful state you will want to continue understanding that all states are not true, they are temporary and will go away. What is Real (The Self) is always there and it is not an experience. Read the first half of Master Of  Self Realization Where the Master explains the states

 

It is true that you can’t have things and not be attracted to them. This is said for the point of view of one with mind or an ego. the master says this to a Jiva – The one who thinks he is a body or mind- will always be attached to things. The desire fort money and women is strong, if you do not renounce it in the beginning it is hard to break free from it. The mind will fool you and say “I don’t want it but it is good to have it”

“Why can’t I have both?” “Let me get rich then awaken” etc. This is so tricky again this boils down to what I once said to you “ how bad do you want to awaken?

There can be no but or condition to awaken. If there is a BUT take it or granted you do not want Freedom as much as you think. If all you want is freedom, poverty and richness mean nothing, either one is fine. So look within yourself and choose. You are not the body or mind why should care what it does or its state?

 

 

Freedom, Desire And Self Realization

Freedom, Desire And Self Realization

 

Question: I read this by a master an awhile ago. Not sure if it’s a typo but I just remembered… what do you think? “It’s unfree to be attached to anything. You can’t have things and not be attached to

them.” well cant you have something and NOT be attached. For example. You have a body, but your not attached, you have a car but your not attached etc etc??

 

Answer: Yes very true. When you are attached to anything you are not free. You are not free if you want something because that thing takes thought and thought is of the world. Self is without thought, it is the thoughtless state. Thoughts can be there but they have no power or attachment. And this is because there is no attachment to anything. A regular mind wants this and wants that –simply because they believe the item to be true.

Further more every item you want is thought only and is nothing.  It part of Brahman / god/ knowledge/ mind etc. see things for what they are and then no attachment remains

 

Desire is thought, a strong thought you hold on to. Fact is, if you have no desire you are FREE. And you can have the fine things in life without attachment. They come without effort; you will never say I need this. It will be there when a thought arises. You can’t want things and then train, you must attain and then all will be added onto you. The condition I must have this or that before I realize will not allow you to awaken. The desire for realization is the only desire you should have period. If you want something else you do not want it that bad

This is why some masters ask their disciples to renounce the world. Without renunciation there is no Self knowledge and yet when you understand there is no need to renounce.

Keep all other desires at bay. The desire for Self realization should be at the same intensity as a drowning man grasping for air. Have you ever seen that? I have  witnessed it . When someone is drowning he does not care about anything-even the basic necessities of life are ignored, he just wants air to survive. This is the same feeling you must have to “see” your self. In reality you are already self realized but as you take yourself to be a body and mind you need to “practice” to get there. As you re already that you need no effort to get there. So it is a paradox. They say without effort you will never attain the self, yet no amount of effort will get you there. This is so because the one who is searching does not exist and is the problem to begin with—aka the ego

Vedanta And Self Realization

Vedanta And Self Realization

Question: Is what all the masters know not specific to the vedanta or bible or sanskrit etc etc?? DO all masters refer to that?

Answer: Vedanta is not a path and it is not a knowledge or bible that anyone follows. True Vedanta is knowing the answer to the question “who am I? This cant be studied it must be realized . for example  If I say everything is oneness which is a principle of Vedanta you will think “ok everything is one”, but you can’t say or think everything is one, because the very act of doing so creates two. Ones means there is no one to say experience it. In that regard Vedanta in text form is much like religion.  I strongly belief that one should study religious text only I the presence of a master. The problem is a true master can’t be found, you stumble across him “accidentally” or he comes to you when ready. What is Vedanta? It is the words of the master, the words of someone who has awakened transcribed. This is my definition of Vedanta. Taking the words from any religious book can do more harm than good if it falls into the hands of a mind that is narrow focused. The Study of Oneness is not intellectual.  The ultimate knowledge is without knowledge, knowledge is the world, and it is infinite and ever expanding. You need to put an end to the knowledge and then you can understand. First you use knowledge by the teachings of thee master and then when read y master will ask you to throw away that knowledge, self is without ignorance and without knowledge. It is not to be understood, it is to be realized

Desire For Self Realization

Question: Quick thing on wanting and not wanting. I know in the world as you say when one really wants and craves he usually doesn’t get or it comes hard. But when one doesn’t want it comes effortlessly. That’s true I see :) BUT what about people who crave and get, or want really bad and get. why do they get and beyond that , for example wanting the self has to be stronger than anything, I have to really want the Self and realization. I know I do, BUT you say don’t want anything, because when you want you don’t get, but then why do you say want the Self more than anything. Se where this is kind of confusing for me?

 

Answer:  to crave and get is mind, as you think so it is, the world is your thought.  This is a mind issue. And it is destiny and karmic on the mind. / body level. You get a desire and it is written that you will achieve it, the effort and the mind is also predestined. The mind and body will do what they must; it has nothing to be doing with the Self. Let desires be there but do not touch it or give it attention. Let it be fulfilled or unfulfilled. Leave it alone and watch it as you would watch a passing cloud o crave and get is mind, as you think so it is, the world is your thought.  This is a mind issue. And it is destiny and karmic on the mind/ body level. You get a desire and it is written that you will achieve it, the effort and the mind is also predestined. the mind and body will do what they must, it has nothing to be do with the self

 

As you have a mind -the mind wants, it is as mind and by definition exists only because of desires and the wants of illusion, so turn all the wants into the want of the self, you become single minded and can understand quite fast. If you are desire less you will have no fear of death or of upsetting God after all you want nothing, and when you are empty you are sitting in your Self…the desire for the Self is the only one noble desire because if you truly want it you will awaken and there will be no room for anything else
you cant say I want to attain the self BUT. There is no BUT, but is the mind

Religion and Self Realization

 

Question: A bible person was trying to spread fear by saying “o anyone but the bible is a fallen on anti Christ and you and they will be cursed” anyways… this quote here from
8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preaches any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Again why someone would be cursed if what they say isn’t EXACTLY what the bible. Who’s going to curse them? They think God will curse. God doesn’t curse. So if they think anything anything other than the bible and someone will be cursed. What do you say? I got a little confusion here.

 

Answer:  the answer is to ask yourself who is asking this question?  The ego is the one asking. Your goal is not to criticize or to see fault in the bible. Everything is not true; therefore there is no wrong or right way. No method, no this or that, you are using the ego to criticize or see fault
negate this. You must learn to stop doing this…remember run your life with intellect but to get to yourself you can t use mind. Ego finds anyway to be active, be as if you are dead. dead men don’t mind if any religion is right or wrong it is irrelevant
every path is right for the ego that follows, eventually all paths lead to Self realization
no path is wrong or right, it is simply correct for that ego following it
nothing is by chance and nothing is a mistake
God does not curse, God does no good or bad, it is the mind that does. If you think you are a sinner so you are and you punish yourself, if you think you are virtuous so you are. Good or bad is irrelevant to achieving the Self or Godhood. Simply look and forget everything. You are not to judge any ones religion or belief. In reality there is no you and no others. So who will judge who?

 

 

Finding happiness and Freedom

 

You are not Free. As a body and mind you are not free. Life simply repeats itself and your mind is so dull it has hidden that as a part of life. Even animals have more freedom than man. An animal does not know it’s an animal. It has no developed ego to define itself as this or that. It lives like an animal free and strong. It has only one shell, it knows it exist and that is all.

A human has many shells, I he or she says , I am a doctor, I am a man , I am a father, I am a brother, I am a citizen of this country, I am a member of this religion, I am a success etc, the labels he puts on himself are endless. It never ends and along with these labels comes troubles. The level of unhappiness for the majority is massive and the level of happiness is too small to define that the little we get of it is deemed as pleasurable.

 

Life is endless repetitions. It goes on and on, the same thing happens every day. You wake up, relieve yourself, go to work, and come back home, struggle for pennies, watch TV and sleep. You see the same people, call them friends and family and it is true insanity, yet what can you do?

The answer is finding yourself. Who are you? Religion can’t do it for you; belief can’t do it for you. Faith can’t do it.

 

You need to empty yourself of all social constructs. Forget you are a man /woman; forget you are this or that? What remains? Forget the mind what is left?

 

This is a personal journey, a phase of self discovery –at the end is true freedom. No one can do this for you. For the You you think you are is not!
