The light of consciousness

• Bodylessness – Opposite to identification with the body- the

dropping of the feeling that you are the body.
• When you are walking along the path, look deeply inside yourself
and you will see that there is someone in there who is not
walking, just watching.
• You are walking, your hands and feet are moving, but there is
something within you, which is not walking at all, which is just
watching you walk.
• Feeling pain in your hand –hand / body is in pain. You are
witnessing the pain.
• When you feel hungry, your body feels hungry, you are simply
witnessing this.
• Standing, sitting, walking, sleeping. Are they actually happening to
you? Or Are you just a witness?
• Mind which thinks that whatever is happening to the body is
happening to you is in misery and pain.
• There is only one cause for all your misery is identification with
body.
• For right observation of the body,
– Only the body is going to the bed
– Only the body is get out of the bed
– Body is eating
– When some body hurts, remember your body is being hurt not you.

EGO
• Ego is the another name of the mind.
• If you are obsessed (constantly worrying about something) with
the ego, wherever you go, you will find live example of it, and you
will think others are being egoistic. It is your projection.
• Once you become humble, the whole world becomes humble.
• If you become egoless, You can not see the ego of others. It
simply disappears from you. It is your attitude.
• First, find the causes within you, don’t be worried why others are
egoistic. They will have enough punishment for their egos; their
own egos will be punishing them enough.
• Whenever you see that somebody is egoistic, immediately turn
within, close your eyes, and try to find out the cause in you. If you
try to find a cause within yourself, it can be dropped, it can be
transformed.

EGO
• Why be worried about others. Just think of you. Try to find out the
cause in with in you. If you try to find a cause within yourself, it
can be dropped, it can be transformed. Once you become
humble, the whole world becomes humble. If you become
egoless, You can not see the ego of others. It simply disappears
from you. It is your attitude.
• Find a cause within yourself and become humble. Be egoless.
• First, find the causes within you, don’t be worried why others are
egoistic. They will have enough punishment for their egos; their
own egos will be punishing them enough.
• Insults can only bring anger out if it is there already. Anger is not
created by anybody else, it is there or it is not there.
• Everything that you come across in others is more or less a
projection of your own mind.

EGO
• The world is not going to be changed. Only you can change
because only you can become conscious.
• Consciousness is revolution. Consciousness is transformation. So
become conscious within yourself.
• If you find somebody else egoistic, thank him immediately. He
has helped you to become aware of your own ego. Be grateful to
him forget all about him.
• Now go within and tries to find out where the cause lies. Why you
felt that this man is egoistic. Somewhere your own ego has been
hurt.

EGO
• Individual egos are not there. These are false entities, just illusion. An
illusion can not have power.
• Basic understanding: Ego is an illusion. Ego is impotent.
• The whole is omnipotent, the part is impotent. But the part is
impotent only if it tries to separate from the whole. Once it
dissolves itself into the whole, it becomes the whole. Then it is no
longer impotent, then part also becomes omnipotent.
• If you trying to do something, you will feel helpless. Life happens, it
has nothing to do with doing. In the very effort, you are creating
trouble for yourself. Don’t try to swim upstream. Then you will feel
as if the river is fighting you. It is not the river. The river is completely
unaware /unconcerned of you.
• If you start floating with the river, all enmity disappear from the river.
Not that it was coming from the river, it was coming from you.

EGO
• If you are trying to do something, the opposite will happen. That
is the misery of human ego that is the hell.

• Fighting upstream. Fighting with sex. The more you fight with sex,
the more your fantasy becomes real. The more you avoid sex, the
more you fight with it. The more you go against it. Avoid= fight;
• Going out of sex is possible only if you go along with the flow.
• If you are not fighting with the stream, things will happen, that
you always wanted to happen.

• 1. The moment you propose, in your proposal you have created

the disposal. You are fighting against the stream. Now you are
moving upstream and you will feel as if the river is moving against
you.

• The question is: “ Every time I want to do something and

complete opposite happens” It will happen. It is your doing.
Please stop doing/proposing. Rather allow things to happen.
Move with things. Don’t bring your will and your ego. The whole
is vast and you are a tiny part. Accept this. Dissolve in the whole,
merge in the whole. Don’t try to create an illusion that you are
separate. You are not. Once this illusion is dropped…
• Ego is nothing but an illusion of separation from the whole.
• Humbleness is nothing but reunion with the whole, remarriage
with the whole. Ego is a divorce. Humbleness is a remarriage, a
reunion.
• Then all that you always wanted to happen starts happening. But
it never happens till you stop wanting.
• This is the dilemma. If you go on wanting, your very want will
create a situation in which it is not going to happen.

• We are just the hands and legs of the whole. We can not have
wills – only the whole. The whole wills and everything happens to
us.
• Once you accept this, all effort and all struggle is gone. Once you
move effortlessly, life will become celebration, benediction.
• Float with life. Trust in existence. Trust in life. Where ever life
leads you, go with it. Don’t try to swim upstream, and all that you
would like will happen. But not because you would like it.
• The deep desire simply indicates that the life has planned to be
fulfilled for you. Just allow life. It will lead you to the promised
land.
• Paradise is here and now. Be with God today.
• Don’t fight. Surrender. Surrender to life.

• Man lives according to his emotions. We don’t do many things as a

result of thinking but by emotions. Hatered, anger, love are
influenced by emotions.
• Four aspects of emotions: 1. friendliness , 2. compassion 3.
cheerfulness 4. gratitude.
• Friendliness x hatred, enmity;
• Compassion x cruelity, violence, unkindness;
• Cheerfulness x sadness, mysery, anguish, worry;
• Gratitude x ingratitude;
• Hostility – unfriendliness; Your hostility always focused on the
outside.

from within.

someone. Love is not a tension. But passion is tension.

• All your emotions are impure because they are from others.
• The first key: Emotions should be your own. It should not be a
reaction. It should be the state of your being.
• Basic principle: 1. fear never creates love. If there is fear, there is
no possibility of love. 2. a person who intimidates others is
missing the opportunity to receive love. 3. Love grows only in
fearlessness. It does not grow in fear. Love can grow only through
meditation.
• Love x fear; fear/afraid creates hate;
• Love and friendliness has to be developed.
• The life that you lead does not allow love to grow, only hatred is
developed.

• The source of love and friendliness has to be developed.

• How can the feeling of friendliness begin to happen within you?
– A message of friendliness has to be conveyed to all the people who are
around you.
– Waves of friendliness have to be sent. Inside yourself you have to give
energy , you have to activate that space of friendliness.
– Give love to the river, tree; send love to nature. Cultivate prayer, love,
devotion to everywhere.
– Moon could have awakened that center of love within you.

• How to handle self ego?

• Never fight with ego. Ego is a shadow. Shadow is not you. The
problem arises only when you get identified with your shadow.
Accept ego. It is the part of natural flow. Simply hammer the
identification.
• Ego is the shadow of action.
• If you simply watch the function of mind, its functioning, its
mechanism, then you are moving beyond the mind.

• How to handle fear?

• If you have fear, you have fear. Why create a problem out of it?
Asif you have one nose not two.
• Fear is there. Accept it. Don’t bother about it.
• The inner alchemy: a problem disappears if you accept it. And a
problem becomes more and more complex if you create any
conflict with it.
• Yes, suffering is there, and suddenly fear comes – accept it. It is
there and nothing can be done about it.
• Accept the suffering and pass through it. Don’t escape.
• Wisdom comes through suffering, wisdom comes through
acceptance. Whatsoever the case, be at ease with it.
• Tantra says, acceptance will be followed by transformation.

• Tantra is the medicine for you – for those who are ill.
• Attachment > frustration
• If there is attachement, don’t fight with it. Be attached. But be a
witness also.
• Frustration will come, so be frustrated. But be a witness also.
• Tantra is non fighting process. You were attached, so the
frustration has come. You know well that it had to come. Now be
frustrated and be a witness.
• Then through attachment, attachment is consumed, and through
frustration, frustration is consumed.
• Try this, when you feel miserable, be miserable.

• The process of awareness: Whatever activity is happening, I am

separate from it. The action is separate from me. Action is part of
the world. I am separate from it, I am the watcher.
• Whenever there is a opportunity during the day, shake yourself
awake. Keep remember the watcher. Each time, and in every
situation, no matter what you may be doing, remind yourself that,
“I am not the doer, I am the watcher”.
• You are walking on a road. Suddenly stop and become a witness.
Eating your meal, suddenly alert yourself and become a witness.
