Everything is made up of just one... like threads together make cloth - like that all of this universe is made up of the "atma"... search requires effort but in rest you find god... it was when Janak saw "within" - he realised this secret...
where search ends - god is there... that's why first they say we need to get the thirst for knowledge and mukti.. when the thirst increases - then you need to rest and just drop it.... search is a sign of a man who is "awake"... from ignorance to rest - the phase between this is search.... you must search but yet drop searching and rest....
The bhagwad gita first takes you to the search and then rest.... Ashtavakra Geeta directly tells you to rest.... It's all there set for you - you don't have to do anything at all.. just sit for a few minutes and you'll see - you are what you are searching for....
it's like someone searching for their glasses which is on their head... while you are searching you can;t see anything - where are you searching??? and then when you find it - then you can see everything - what are you searching for???
So many people do "spiritual" shopping... this is becoming like window shopping.... they will look here and there and get confused because one place someone will say - chant "hamsa".. then here we say - "so hum" /// else where someone else will say - "dasoham" ... and another "sada soham".... no - don;t do that... take one path... and we need to wait... we need to have patience... even in the path we want to have "siddhis" (powers) and feel "the" experience.... no - just drop all of this....
Asti Bhati and Preeti - these are the 3 signs of our atma/consciousness.... in Buddhism they said - life is "shunya" (zero/empty/nothing) bhuddhism belived there is no "atma" - they said - we searched and searched and found none.... in the sanatan dharma they said - life is
"poorna" (complete).. Adi shankara said - you said you searched and found nothing - who searched?? you.. who didn't find??? you... that is the atma.. you are that....
one day a boy came to me and said Guruji i want "atma sakshatkar" and so i told him - yea - ok... wait a little time and do the practices and see... but he insisted - no guruji - i want it now... i have done sahaj also - and i feel too good... i was an atheist before - 1 sudarshan kriya has changed my life.......
and he didn't listen - and went back home (in delhi) and sat and meditated for 16 to 18 hrs and 2 days later he started hallucinating - that he is "Hanuman"... and he looked at all the people giving offerings to the idol and he went up and told them - what are you offering the idol all this when i am here??? i am Hanuman... "
well - the poor fellow got a "wake up call" - people sent him straight to the hospital........
don't be stubborn - don;t get stuck in any concepts... i'll tell you the biggest secret - you are god - and don't tell this to anyone :D....
this is not something you must go proclaim to others....
This is what Ashtavakra told Janak - "Tatvamasi" - you are that...
Then it was Janak who realised - "Aham Bhramahasmi" - I am that....
first listen - then follow in patience and be with it - then you'll know...

Jai Gurudev
