AVG - Day 15

AVG - Day 15 (June 3,2010)

Vikar se chootna hai toh vishram karo (rest is the way to get rid of "disorder/change/habit" ).
We say we have understood - but we still make mistakes.... if you think you have understood - it still doesn't mean you have understood... it's like eating coal thinking it's food and drinking sand thinking it's water... if you "know" then you won't do it... and if you still do it despite at one level "knowing" sand is not something to drink - then something is not right... you are doing it because you think you will joy out of it! Until you separate the act from the want of joy, you won't know the "self" is the truth.... till then you are stuck in these bad habits.... we say "i know it's a rope" - but we are still scared thinking it's a snake... that's the trouble... when you get "wisdom" - all this drops... we think these habits give us joy - and that;s why we haven;t progressed,,,,, we our only putting ourselves into trouble by doing this.... don;t do anything - just rest - only is rest you will be able to drop all these habits... and that deep rest is meditation... and there you will realise - i am what i am searching for :)

2) There is no joy for one who is lazy or one who overworks
Only someone who is thirsty and gets water realises the value of water... only after doing your karma - when you rest - that rest is samadhi... one who is lazy will not reach samadhi and nor one who goes on working.... don;t be lazy nor overwork... that's what krishna says - take the middle path = don;t be lazy or be restless.. for he who takes the middle path - yog wins over sadness for them....

3) Guru/God/Atma are the same - no difference
Janak said - I bow to myself... from a stone to this whole creation let everything be over - i cannot "end" - for i am immortal... Oh! what a wonder,,, there is no difference in the guru,god. and aatma... the guru never keeps you away - it is your ignorance and foolishness that keep you away from him... what are you going to surrender to him?? some coconut??? you think he wants that???? no - you know what he wants?? he wants your "dirty mind" - he doesn;t want even the clean and happy thoughts because that is HIM... what noone wants he is ready to take - and see the irony - even that you don;t want to give him.. you hold on to that...
Janak bowed.. an egoist can never bow... when the mind becomes the no-mind (mann becomes namann) then self realisation dawns...
there are 3 things - That , You and Me... to say "That" is very simple... That is what you keep away from you.. so saying "That is god" is easy... slightly difficult to say and realise is "You are god"... see the resistance you will face,,, but hardest of all is coming to the stage "I am god"... because you can do that only when your mind is "clear".. till you have something -ive in you, you can;t reach this stage of saying it (or just fooling people by saying it - but never meaning it)
that's why Janak had to sit with Ashtavakra - feel one with him (the respect and oneness) to realise he is not different...

-- what i am going to write next is the most amazing part of today i felt----
so now don;t think - when will i feel this and get this realisation? will it happen now or osmetime later? will it happen this lifetime? how many more births will i have to take??
no - the fact that you are here siting and listen to this knowledge - this itself shows you have the ability in you and you are free.. it's not just people who are here - even those who are listening to this even if they are not here are free)

i have never come nor have i gone - i have never died cause never have been born.... this body is mine and also are the others - like when a child gets hurt the mothers cries... or vice versa - this is the connection - it;s just 1.....

tonight before you go to sleep - do pranam/namaskar to god/guru/me(yourself).... we are one... guru is i. i am guru and guru is god... we;re one an the same.. don;t worry about anything.. don;t have any fear... everything is going on and it will be fine.... just rest tonight...
