Kita Harus Melatih Perasaan Dan Pikiran Kita Untuk Melupakan Rasa Keakuan.docx

Kita harus melatih perasaan dan pikiran kita untuk melupakan rasa keakuan, dan berusaha untuk dapat melayani serta berguna untuk kemanusiaan. Ini merupakan salah satu cara untuk mendapatkan ketenangan dan kebahagiaan yang sesungguhnya. ㅡ Ven. K. Sri Dhammananda ㅡ When you have a problem, when you have some sort of confusion. You simply ask yourself the question, "To whom does this come? Who has this problem? Or who has this karma?" And pretty soon the answer will come by itself, "I do." Then you further ask, "From where does this I come from? What is the source of I?" You abide in the I, you hold onto the I. You start to use a meditation called, "I-I," You simply abide in the I as long as you can. And you follow the I thread into your spiritual heart. You say to yourself, "I, I, I, I,I, I." You remember that everything in the world is attached to I. Isn't it? Think of all the times in your life you've said, "I. I feel sick. I feel depressed. I feel happy. I feel out of sorts." Who is this I that you're talking about? Is it your body? It can't be your body. Because when you sleep and you wake up you say, "I slept." When you dream, you wake up you say, "I dreamt." And when you're awake you say, "I'm awake." To whom are you referring when you say, "I?" Find out, go within, ask yourself, "Who am I? Where did I come from?" But never answer, just pose the question, "What is this source of I?" and one day you will realize that I does not exist. When you follow I to the source, one day there will be like a big explosion and you will see myriads of light particles all around you. You will then realize that the whole universe is nothing but a bunch of light particles. Yet this is not the answer. For where did the light particles come from? They come from no thing, from nothing. And nothing is consciousness. Consciousness is like space. It has no shape. Yet it takes the shape of every creation. It appears to take the shape of the world, of people. Everything is consciousness.

Consciousness is like a chalkboard. And the objects of the world are like images on the chalkboard. You can draw any image that you like. You can draw an Indian. You can draw two people fighting. Two people making love. And then you erase it and draw something else. But the chalkboard never changes. The chalkboard is always the same. So it is with you. You go through all kinds of experiences. But the realization is that you are not the experiences you're going through. You are consciousness, that is your real nature. Think about that. ~ Robert Adams Satsangs You subsequently have to ask yourself, "What am I doing with my life? In what direction am I going?" And look at your life, analyze it. From the moment you get out of bed until you go back to bed again at night. What are you doing with the hours that you're awake? Do you waste your time? What do you do? You have to remember you have only so many years to live in this world, and then you'll just vanish if you don't know who you are. You will repeat the lessons over and over again and you'll have many opportunities to understand and discover your true nature. But the wise person begins the discovery immediately. It's like digging for gold. You can talk about gold. You can just make a couple of holes with a shovel and say, "I'll come back next month" or you can really get into it. And get a pickaxe and start chopping away. Until you discover the gold and dig it up, the same day. The choice is always yours. - Robert Adams, Ts 11 We are just sitting together, being together, moving in the Spirit of the truth and by itself so much is being transformed. Just being immersed in this environment, the spirit of love and natural compassion. We are not demonstrating, just you're living, is like the incense is there, you can smell it, the best smell is when you light it, when you light it, it really release the fragrance. When your heart is lit up with the understanding, then the fragrance, the perfume is peace and joy and life, is power, silence, wisdom and compassion, all this things, this is the perfume.

We are just enjoying our own perfume and all the bad odours have disappeared. What is the incense practising, you see, we are just enjoying. This is the power of Grace. Nothing in this world is going to make you lastingly happy, except to wake up to the truth of yourself. Only your Self discovered, is the unchanging, unalterable happiness, the flow of Grace unimpeded, the light of love, unshakeable. That is the quintessential discovery. And everyone, it is in everyone this potential to wake up, but to actualize it, then Grace must bring you to Satsang. Not Satsang like this, life is Satsang actually, because everyone alive is aspiring for something, whether you start to aspire for the thing that is really worth finding. For a while we aspire for things which are perishable, so they are momentary. But when you aspire somehow for that which never transpires, you aspire for that which never transpires, never expire, you find him. Then all your longings are fulfilled. ~ Mooji Baba 12 February 2019 Rishikesh, India Excerpt from Video: “Only Yourself Discovered Is Unchanging Happiness” rd January 1980 Visitor: All activity is meaningless, so should we just sit ? Maharaj: Once you realize that you are not an individual, do everything, everything is your work. Within the range of the five elements, everything is you. Till then (unless and until you realize) carry on your work; but don’t think you are the body. V: The body cannot enjoy ice-cream? No food value? M: Who eats? Plants here consume water, the flame (Maharaj lights his lighter) eats gas, absorbs air, similarly things get done. Eating is done by the five elements, when you eat food, after you swallow it down the throat, who digests it?

Beingness comes out of the five elements. Who eats then? Who dies? Who lives? V: I see! M: Attention also is in beingness; it too will dissolve. When you repent about actions, only then you change; otherwise not. The great sinner Valmiki repented and he meditated thereafter, then whatever he wrote became the truth (Valmiki wrote the Ramayana) V: So the Sattva quality must prevail. M: Yes, in meditation the Sattva is prominent, worship of God, attraction towards spiritual practices follow. Habits change with time and one should understand individual and universal life, this is possible only when one knows oneself. (Note: Since 1921 Maharaj is in Bombay, a period of almost sixty years. Prior to 1921, he was in a village where then were few houses, everyone knew everyone else, now the village has changed). In the process of devotion and association with Sattva, you start thinking for yourself. You shed off many things, dropping associations, these are remunerations. This you understand with meditation. The developing village where I lived has changed, the trees went missing there was a change of sea, now, nobody recognizes me. So similarly, in the process of Sat sang or meditation, developments occur, you start changing. You are talking to me through the body sense, but I don’t accept you as that which could be defined by words. As a matter of fact you have no form, identity or color. You yourself are creating your trap by your word-concepts. Once you realize cause of beingness, birth, you are liberated. From what point you recognize yourself? V: ‘I am’ M: Since when? V: Since my parents told me. M: So long as you depend on hearsay, you will not be liberated. V: What is the cause of birth?

M: Parents told you a lot, but did they tell you the secret of your birth? Because you are, the Lord is, and because the Lord (Ishwara) is ‘you are’, the ‘you are’ is proof that parents were there. Sanatana Dharma, from time immemorial the parents have been there; you have been there. This beingness is proof of eternity, the Sanatana Dharma, the Infinity. When do you call me a Jnani, or why do you use the word Jnani? V: Because our questions are out of ignorance. M: Have you recognized ignorance? V: Yes M: Then how could there be fear, anxiety or worry for you? It’s simple, first is the Ajnani (ignorant) stage when you believe ‘I am not knowledge’ or ‘I am not beingness’. Next the Mumukshu (inclined to learn) stage where there is only an inclination to learn. Then you come across a Guru, you become a Sadhak (earnest seeker), one who earnestly seeks, the Sadhak sticks like a leech to the profound talks of the Guru, it’s the borderline stage. So long as the body identification is there, one is a Mumukshu, not completely spiritual yet. Finally one becomes a Siddha(the liberated one) and gets liberated. Politics is the last resort of a scoundrel; the spiritual one has no resort. Lastly, dispose off Harihar, the highest of the Gods of the Hindus is dismissed, disposed off. The self-annihilators cry of ‘Har Har Mahadev’ means kill and get killed, so in the end Har Har Mahadev goes too. ~ I AM UNBORN Where does the disease come from? ------------------------------------------------The ultimate truth about healing is that nobody ever became sick. Therefore there is noone to heal. This is the ultimate truth. There is no health and there is no sickness. If the bodily flesh by itself cannot become sick and consciousness is free of disease where does the disease come from? Well there appears to be a knot between the consciousness and the flesh. A knot that separates the consciousness from the flesh. This knot is called imagination.

It is the imagination that brings the sickness, the fears, the frustrations and everything else to the flesh. The imagination. ~Robert Adams - T144: Imagination: The Knot Between Consciousness And The Flesh "Try to remember the main points: Birth and death are like going to sleep at night and waking up in the morning. When you go to sleep at night, you die, when you dream, it's like being on the astral plane, and when you wake up in the morning, it's like being born. Through those states of consciousness somebody exists, and that somebody is none other than you. In other words you are aware of dreaming. You are aware of sleeping. You are aware of waking up. You are aware of dying, and you are aware of being reborn. Somebody is watching all this, that's you. You exist through all those states. Abide in your existence, not in the states. Ignore the fake consciousness. Abide in the reality, which is called absolute awareness, consciousness. Abide in that and be free." - Robert Adams T:16 IT'S ALL A DREAM "There is no freedom for the person, it IS freedom FROM the person!!" Mooji fresh from Rishikesh 10.3.2019
