Jai Guru,

After strong involvement in spirituality through meditation, a flow of illusory concepts, will appear upon your Spontaneous Invisible Presence, and instantly disappear. Continue with your normal spiritual practice, which will result in all the concepts vanishing, including Brahman.

How were you prior to beingness? There was no experiencer, no experience, and no witness. Though you are living with the body, you will remain unconcerned with the illusory world. There will be complete peacefulness, happiness, and fearlessness, no feelings of existence, and hence no confusion. All identities will disappear, including mind, ego, and intellect, which is miraculous, and cannot be expressed in words. In brief, you are very close to the top of the spiritual mountain, so do not look back, and do not share whatever is happening in your spiritual life.

Your Spontaneous Presence is everywhere, just like the sky or the space, where there is no individuality, where experience and the experiencer dissolve or disappear. No body-essence remains. I think that you no longer require excessive practice or sadhana, because Ultimate Truth or Reality has been absorbed within you. Do not pay attention to whatever is happening, or not happening, in this illusory world. Whatever I have conveyed to you for your spirituality is enough.

When you have strong devotion, your crazy mind rebels against you, to distract you from your Reality. Do not struggle with the mind. That good or bad thoughts are flowing, is just the nature of the mind. Do not pay so much attention to your mind, ego, and intellect. As you know, so many unpleasant incidents happen in your life, but with your strong spiritual willpower you can overcome all these problems. Furthermore, with the blessings of Sadguru, your “so many unpleasant problems” are solved miraculously. What more do you want? Sadguru krupa is always with you.

Why worry? Be normal, be simple, be humble, be always with you. Concentrate deeply and fully in meditation. Continue reciting the Naam Mantra. Be peaceful, be tension-free, be happy, be fearless all the time. In this human life, there is more pain and less pleasure. Almost all the spiritual saints face a lot of problems, but with their strong devotional power, they overcome all their unpleasant situations. Do not be a slave of your mind!

With your strong devotion and faith in Sadguru, you can easily control your mind, ego, and intellect. Sadguru bhakti has strong shakti power.

With blessings to all,
Jai Sadguru!

You are to establish yourself, without any identification whatsoever. When you are not identifying yourself, this is the way you were prior to beingness. And That is your position. It is your place of origin. Your Original Place! This is the Stateless State.

Your Presence existed prior to beingness, prior to the mind, the ego and the intellect, prior to everything. You are trying to apply reason and logic to your illusory life, because you have identified with the body-form. Your Reality has nothing to do with reason and logic. Find out who is living? Find out who is dying? Nobody!

You have mistaken your identity and accepted the bodyform as your Reality. As a consequence, there is an egoistic “I” that is influencing and controlling you. Prior to that “I”, there was only pure Presence.

There is no such thing as a disciple, and there is no such thing as a Master. No one has ever visited a Master because there is only One Masterly Essence that is Formless. That Masterly Essence is in you. You are the Master. “The Master is Not Separate From You.”

Sri Ramakant Maharaj

The body is not your identity at all. Unless you accept the Reality that “the body is not your identity”, the experience of a body-form will continue to appear upon your Presence.

These concepts create so much confusion, and then, the mind raises all sorts of questions. So many questions keep arising, and they are all body-based questions! I receive so many questions from seekers, and they are always body-based concepts. Melt, dissolve, demolish all your body-based concepts. This is the primary task at hand.

Your problems are all body-related, arising from this human life that is only a dream: depression, worry, sadness, loneliness, feeling unloved, fearfulness, stress, dispeace, unhappiness, misery, etc, etc. We have become fearful of everything. We behave like sheep, instead of lions! We have a lot of tension. There is no peacefulness, or blissfulness. And, we are always fearful of death.

All these illusory concepts are to be demolished. Demolish all your concepts! This is the main goal of spirituality.

Ultimate Truth
Sri Ramakant Maharaj

…I am telling you the outward signs of a realized person who is totally unaffected by worldly joys and sorrows. To end misery or to remain blissful, listen to these ten outward signs of a realized person.

1. Absence of anger: One should not get angry. If someone insults you, you should take it as an insult to the body. Keep your mind (attitude) completely free of anger. To merely repress an impulse of anger (and keep quiet) is not an indication of absence of anger. Absence of anger implies absence of any reaction to an anger-provoking stimulus. If anything happens against your mind’s liking and there is a surge of anger, it indicates a habit of wanting to dictate to others. These ten signs are told for the aspirant’s study. With the help of these signs, continue your study or practice, and these signs will show up in your behavior. All is untrue in this world. How then can one thing evoke anger? Even that thing is untrue. This is the way one must think. One should recognize all the causes of anger in the mind.

2. Detachment: Detachment is the absence of even a single desire. This leads to fearlessness. Otherwise, there is no freedom from fear for you. One should not depend on others as in the case, “If I do not get anything to eat I will die.” Desire for the bliss of Self is a desire for bliss within. People who hoard millions and then go about speaking to others about the “Knowledge of Brahman,” do not do good to themselves. Instead, they commit fraud. They do not know the meaning of detachment. Absence of anger gets reinforced through detachment. Absence of anger is really inner detachment. Even if one gets something, one should renounce it. Be good to those who cause you harm. To be in one’s own nature is the main indication of a realized person. Everyone should be granted freedom. One should never get angry. As we are the Inner-Self, Brahman, no one can really insult us. So, one who gives us trouble, liberates us from the ego of the body. This is what we should understand. If you put this into practice, it will become your habit. One should think for oneself why anger arises. It is not difficult to bring all these ten requisites into practice. You find them difficult because you have not formed this habit up to now. Detachment means to have no desire. A person becomes miserable because of the absence of detachment. The meaning of the word Karbhari (worldly person) is that Kar means trouble, and Bhari means a lot, plenty. We must leave off our wants through discrimination. The highest fortune of a Yogi is when detachment (the complete understanding that all this is false) gets rooted in him. This Maya or Illusion is so peculiar that it gives nothing to the one who begs and gives (all) to the one who does not ask. Everyone has developed a fondness for worldly objects, but the more detached one is, the happier he becomes.

3. Control of the senses: This means not to be attached to the senses. With strength, anything is possible. When one becomes dependent, then one thinks of Rama (only for some gain or benefits). If there is strength, there is less fear, and it becomes easier to think of “Knowledge.” A strong man understands Knowledge better. Virtue is indicated by control of senses.

4. Mercy or forgiveness: Each one is the Self. Therefore, we must forgive those who harass us. Never harbor hatred in the mind, because the burden of the desire to take revenge festers in the mind with the result that only enemies and misery are created. Therefore, every time there is some offense, one should be ready to forgive.

5. Compassion: One should be kind to all. What is compassion? Not being cruel to anybody.

6. Peace: Maintain peace. Do not worry, and enjoy the bliss of the Self.

7. Complaisance to others: Without hurting anyone, if we help others, they develop love for us. If we wish that good should not come to others, then good does not come to us either. He is a good man who becomes happy when he wishes for happiness for other people. The one who acts contrary to this, is a miser.

8. Absence of greed: Do not be greedy. Greed is only for objects in Illusion that are untrue.

9. Magnanimity: These is true nobility. To desire that all should be happy, you must learn to be magnanimous from the very core of your heart.

10. Fearlessness: Fear creates misery. If it is possible to be rid of misery, it is the duty of the Jnani to do so.

Start putting the above traits into practice. Through this, you will enjoy the glory of Knowledge (Jnana). These are the ten external signs of Knowledge. To be one with your Self Nature, or “Being,” is true happiness. He who is happy both within and without is blissful. To behave nobly means to let each one act according to his or her desire. Otherwise, one forms a habit of censuring others. One should never speak ill of others. Also, never bother yourself with petty observations about others. Do not meddle in the affairs of others. This is called charity. Do not waste your time getting involved in others’ affairs. Only the one who achieves “Self-Knowledge” is a realized person. He becomes happy if he puts the above ten requisites into practice. Lord Krishna is called a liar, yet he is a God. This is because Krishna did lie, but at the same time he was always identified with the Self.

~ Amrut Laya – The Stateless State ~ (p. 141)
Shri Sadguru Siddharameshwar Maharaj

What progress is required? There is no I, no you, no he, she, it. Prior to beingness you expect progress will be there? After leaving body what progress is required? You are not in need of the spiritual knowledge after leaving the body. You have read so many masters of spiritual knowledge. Will that knowledge help you at the time of leaving your body? You have met spiritual master, you have read so many books, you are a master of all this spiritual knowledge. Just inquire yourself, question yourself. ‘All this knowledge will help me at the time of leaving the body?’. Answer is there: No! Spiritual knowledge, whatever knowledge you are having is not useful at the time of leaving the body, what is the use of that knowledge? Has this knowledge given courage, spiritual courage to face each and every problem? Because basically You are Unborn. You are posing: I-am-born, my energy is like this, I am going to die, future life, present life, past life, so many concepts are there. With courage, you are to dissolve all concepts. Spiritually is giving courage to accept the Reality. Because you are the Reality, Reality is not separate from You.

Q: So, when we are saying that after the death we are not having any use of this spiritual knowledge…

Maharaj: See death and birth are also concepts. Nobody is having experience of death and birth. Until you see the death, someone die.

Q: The people who follow the spiritual practice…

Maharaj: Why to think about the about the people? You think about yourself! What you see is the Seer’s reflection, Seer’s projection. If there is no Seer how can you see the people?

Q: You Cannot.

Maharaj: If there is no Presence in your body how can you see the people? That means entire world is projected out of Your Presence. If there is no Presence there for a moment, who will talk about the people? Who will talk about the God, master, and everything? That concept is supposed to be dissolved. You are thinking of this people, that people, that people, the realized people or not so, why? You think of yourself. It’s the habit of mind to take the touch of each and everything in the world. The world itself is illusion. Shankara say, “to say ‘I’ it is illusion, to say ‘you’ it is illusion, to say ‘Brahman’ is illusion, entire world is illusion”. Where are the people? Where is the God? Where are the Masters? Hmm? It’s a plain knowledge. Again, I am repeating, for absorbing this Reality you are to undergo the meditation, only thing. Meditation is the only source. Dry discussion will be not helpful for you. Reading thousands of books is meaningless. You are getting some sort of intoxication temporary, painkillers. Everything starts from You, everything ends within You.

Sri Ramakant Maharaj

You will get instruction inside under which circumstance how to act, how to react. Because You are Mastermind. You are Central Point of the world. You are not this illusion. Body is not your identity. We are giving more importance to mind, ego, intellect, ‘I am somebody else’. So, that ‘I am somebody’ supposed to be dissolved. It’s very simple. You are nobody, You are everybody, Your Presence is everywhere. Just like sky is everywhere. What sky you see here is the same sky that is everywhere. You are beyond sky. That conviction supposed to be appear within You spontaneously. Literally you are knowing, about which knowledge? Dry knowledge. We are discussing long time and having so many words. Try to absorb this Knowledge. Try to digest this Knowledge. Knowledge which is Reality, your Reality, Listener’s Reality. is not separate from the Identity. Therefore, I define, It as Unidentified, Invisible, Anonymous Identity. It is Unidentified Identity, it cannot be Identified in words. Invisible Identity. Anonymous Identity. It cannot be seen. And for which to absorb this Reality you must undergo strictly meditation, in the beginning! Without meditation, you are not able to Identify Yourself. It’s a process, it’s a beginning. In the beginning, you are to undergo deliberate efforts. Then, not necessary. Everything starts from You, everything end within You. You are not separate from Ultimate Truth, You are Final Truth. But directly or indirectly we are having impressions of the body-knowledge, since childhood until today. And you are not having courage to dissolve it. ‘Yes, yes, yes’. You sign everywhere. Though you are not guilty you set aside and living with a guilty conscience. You are not, nothing. You are not doer, there is no deed.

Q: When we are doing the meditation, we should not read any books or anything?

Maharaj: You can read books, but not to analyze the words. You can read so many books, you can approach Master, but what they want to convey that is most important. Not to depend words. Not to analyze the words or sentence of these Masters. “Why Ramana Maharishi says like this? Why is this like this?”. No. What they want to convey out of various words and various sentence? What is gist or central point of your Reality? Except your selfless Self there is no God, no Brahman, no Atman. And to accept this Reality you are to undergo meditation. Through meditation all these illusory concepts dissolve. The strong force of your mind, ego, intellect is upon you. Directly or indirectly we have become victim of our own mind and concepts. Ego is there. Subtle ego is against your mind. Ego starts ‘yes!’. You undergo your 10,000? “You have not offered tea?”. Subtle ego is there. When you go to some friend’s house, subtle ego is there expectation ‘oh she should put water or offer something’. Not given, depressed. So, all these expectations supposed to be dissolved. Body-ego supposed to be dissolved. You are having expectation from childhood, you are some boy, father, parent, even Masters also. You are after miracles, ‘oh if I go to that master I will get some miracles’. Nothing, I’m not doing any miracles. Miracles happen from You. This a Box, Miracle Box, Magic Box. Everything is There. But you are unaware of That. You are unaware of that Magical Box. The Spontaneous Existence in your body is Ultimate Truth, Final Truth.

Sri Ramakant Maharaj

There is no such difference of a realized person, not realized person. Indian sky is realized, and American sky is not realized? Because again we are using our intellect, “this is realized person this is not realized person” because you are having the body concept that “I am somebody else, this world is true”. In dream, you see two people, one realized, one not realized. What happens after your awakening? In dream, you see one God, one beggar. After awakening what happened to that God and beggar, beggar gone to hell, God is gone to heaven? So, all these concepts considering body is my identity. That body-identity is supposed to be dissolved, for which you are to undergo again meditation. Mediation is not Ultimate Truth, mind well. It is a process. Through process you are trying to invite attention of Invisible Meditator that You Are Ultimate Truth. It’s hammering. After having Conviction, after having Spontaneous Conviction, you don’t have to say a mantra also. After, now you reach this Ranjit Ashram. In the beginning, you started, “where is the Ranjit ashram?” You are finding, you are asking any everybody. Now you are here at that address, you know Ranjit ashram, where is this ashram. Likewise, after having Conviction you don’t have to go read even any single book. Not to go to anywhere. No temptation is there. Because you are Ultimate Truth. You are Final Terminal. You can use your body. Not to neglect responsibilities. Do your job, do your duties, there is no restriction. In human body, you are to Identify Yourself. I’m not body, I was not body, I am not going to remain body, I’m not going to remain this body. I Am Formless.

There is No Birth, No Death. I Am Unborn. These are allegations, “you were born, you’re going to die, because of past some bad words or bad deed you take this birth that birth”, all the concepts. Future birth, present life, what is future present life? Some people say you must say the kundalini is there. What kundalini is there? You are to come out from all these illusory concepts. For which meditation, most important, in the beginning.

Just like when you are learning language. You are to undergo the grammar and efforts. Now you don’t have to go to any grammar and efforts. But you must be strong in the beginning to come out of that language. For which you are doing ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, ‘d’. So, after Conviction you need not to go to any ‘abcd’. Meditation also, after strong Conviction that I am not body at all, the meditation is not required. Prior to beingness any meditation was there? After leaving the body, what meditation, what to do? Because we have lost our memories we’re missing our Self. To Identify Ourself, that’s why this process is there. Why to read books? Why to obey Masters? Because you forgot your Identity. To identify ourself in a real sense we have to go through these sources. Now after having Conviction, no need is there. You may be acting just like acting in a drama. In dream, you are acting as a man. There are all sorts of things. You create something wrong thing, bad dream, good dream. You are not planning ‘today I will see this dream, tomorrow I will see that dream’. No. This is body, this is dream. We feel that dream is true dream and measuring ourself ‘oh I did this is bad thing, this good thing.’ We are playing with the words, we are trying to define the words, we are trying to analyze the words. ‘Where is master? He’s realized? He’s not realized? Why this question is there? How you’re concerned whether somebody is realized or not realized. Try to Identify Yourself, whether you are realized or not. Ask question whether I’m realized or not. I’m not considering this or that or anybody. Presence does not have any duality of Presence. Presence is Everywhere. Indian sky, American sky, names are given India, America, China, all the things. Sky is the sky. So, like that you are to teach yourself, you are to become Master of your own. You are architect of your own life. How to act, how to react is up to You. Not to struggle. You are struggling with the mind, struggling with the thoughts ‘oh I am depressed’. What depressed? Because you have become slave of your mind. No depression is there. Was there depression prior to beingness? Prior to beingness any depression is there? Any anger is there? Any peacefulness is there? Nothing. After leaving body what remains? Because body-knowledge is not tolerable because of this we require so many things. So, the gist of the spirituality: Except your Selfless Self there is no God, no Brahman, no Atman. You Are Atman – You Are Paramatman – You Are God, but You are not getting it!

Sri Ramakant Maharaj

Now you are thinking intellectually, Absolute and then something else. You are Absolute. You are Ultimate Truth. Ultimate Truth not separate from you. This a food-body. The moment that Spirit clicked with body you say ‘I’. To say ‘I’ your Presence is required. If there is no Presence who will talk about the I? You say ‘Absolute is there or food is there?’ It’s an intellectual game, you are playing with the words. There is no Absolute, no any intellect, there is no food also. All these concepts came along with the body. When do you know Absolute? What is Absolute? You are Absolute. Because we are thinking from body- base basis. So, this will be Absolute, this will be Ultimate Truth, this will be food-body. There is no discrimination. Therefore, for understanding the words are mentioned. Absolute not separate from you. Because Absolute is there, therefore food-body is there. Food-body contacted independently. Absolute is Invisible, it cannot be guessed, it cannot be imagined, it’s Spontaneous Existence. Because you are holding body, through intellect, mind, ego you are trying to guess how that Spirit Absolute is there. Prior to beingness you will not know what Absolute is. Not knowing ‘I am’ also. There is no he, she, it, nothing was there. After leaving body what remains? These are the words just to identify yourself.

Spiritual language there are so many words. Brahman is there, Atman is there, Paramatman, God is there, consciousness, awareness is there, thousands of words are there. Instead of defining the words, instead of playing with the words, try to identify What they wanted to convey. Or after reading so many books, this Ultimate Truth, ‘Selfless Self’, ‘I Am That’, Ramana Maharshi, so many. Instead of defining their words, analyzing the words, sentence, what they wanted to convey that is most important. They want to convey that Except Your Selfless Self, there is no God, no Brahman, no Atman, no Paramatman, no Master. Except Your Selfless Self there is no Brahman, Atman, Paramatman, God, Master. All these names given to your Spontaneous Existence, Presence. That You Are. Absolute Not Separate from You. Ultimate Truth not separate from You. Because you are measuring yourself in body-from, and through intellect and ego you feel something, ‘this is Absolute, this is food body, this is something’ . There is not any discrimination. That Reality supposed to be absorbed. To absorb this Reality, you must undergo strictly meditation. It’s the first lesson, the foundation. Dry knowledge will not help you. We go on talking on dry knowledge, spiritual knowledge, meaningless. These are just a spiritual entertainment, spiritual massage. Spiritual massage, or spiritual steam bath. Beyond that nothing is there. You are getting relief from that steam bath for some time. This is Permanent. Your Existence, Spontaneous Existence, is Permanent. There is not any limitation.

What the requirement of the human body? What do you want? Why are you approaching so many masters? Why are you reading so many books? Because you are depressed, no happiness is there, no peacefulness is there. Always in fear of death. So, to overcome all these difficulties, concepts, we are trying to find out what is my status in this world? Who Am I? Spiritual science says you are Brahman, Atman, Paramatman, God, Master, how can I identify myself? That is a big question before us. And because all the time we are having body-based knowledge, we have confused ourself. Our own concept confusing ourself. Our own mind rebelling against us. That confusion supposed to vanish, dissolve. How it will be dissolved? All this confusion is body based confusion. Because I am posing myself somebody else, either male or female, and trying to know the Reality.

Not possible. Because basically, You are not body, You were not body, You are not going to remain body, it’s a fact. But despite knowing all these things, we are having some subtle ego, intellectual ego, mind-based ego. We are accepting literally. We are accepting intellectually, we are accepting egoistically. But not accepting Ultimately. “Yes, my Master says I Am Brahman, I Am Brahman!” But the ego is there, “how can I be Brahman? Brahman is something else. God is something else, God is something high-power administering all this world like that.”

Since childhood till today we have developed so many concepts, spiritual concepts, so many concepts are there. You are to vanish, dissolve all the concepts. Because basically, Your Presence is Ultimate Truth. Prior to beingness nothing was there. After leaving body, what remains? No relation is there. My mother, my sister, my father, my brother, my master, my God. Where are all these concepts prior to beingness? All these concepts came along with the body, dissolve with the body. All desires are there, material desires are there, requirements are there, needs are there. We want happiness, we want peacefulness. Who wants happiness? What is peacefulness? Prior to beingness have you any peacefulness? After leaving body what peacefulness you get? Because body-knowledge is not tolerable.

Directly or indirectly we are posing ourself in body-form, my body-form is permanent, that concept engraved upon us all the time. Therefore, the only source spiritual science says, you are to undergo the meditation. And what do you mean by mediation? Meditation means hammering yourself. Some ancient words are given to you. It came to lineage to lineage from Dattatreya. Sanskrit words are given. Through those words, you are to hammer yourself all the time. That meaning of the words, I Am Brahman, Brahman I Am. So, hammering “yes, You Are Brahman, You are Brahman”, just like that. Just like that police officer to a criminal “yes, you are guilty” “no, I am not”, “yes, you are, this is the evidence against you!”, “Ah Yes, So That I!”

Likewise, you are to torture yourself spiritually, You Are Brahman, You Are Brahman. Then That Reality will be Open Explode within you. Yes, So That I! And at that time, you forget the body-knowledge. Even though You are using body You remain separate Individuality. You don’t feel individuality or anything. So, The Exceptional Experience cannot be count in any words.

Sri Ramakant Maharaj

Maharaj: There is no positive, no negative. Why to find out “who am I?” I-am also is illusion, to know I-am you have to take ego, “I am somebody else”. Nothing is there. If the body is not there, your body, this is illusion, so why to find out ‘who am I’? To find out ‘who am I’ you have to take some ego, subtle ego that I am somebody else and finding out ‘who am I?’ There is no I, there is no you, no he, she, it. These are the concept, these are the words, just for discussion purpose, understanding purpose. Therefore, I am insisting not to play with the spiritual words, literal words. ‘I’ supposed to be dissolved totally. There is no ‘I’, there is no ‘it’, these are the concepts – ok, for conversation for daily purpose you can use I, you, he, she, it. But I have told there is no Brahman like that, nothing Brahman, what Brahman is there? It’s a concept. What God is there? Do you know anything God? Have you seen God? Have you seen Brahman? How can you see? Because You are! Without the help of the mirror you can’t see yourself. So, because we have read so many books therefore we have become the victim of this literal knowledge. Knowledge is not separate from you, Brahman is not separate from you. You Are Final Destination. Where everything ends, there You Are. Where everything ends, there You Are. Prior to beingness do you know anything about Brahman, Atman, Paramatman, I, you, he, she, it, God – nothing was known to you. After leaving body what remains? Nothing. After leaving body do you know any Brahman is there? Atman is there? Paramatman, God is there, what?

Q: I don’t know.

Maharaj: Correct. Because You are formless. Your existence in the world is just like space, space or sky. Does sky know I am sky? Has it taken birth? Is it going to die? Nothing. Spiritual science if at all you want to compare, compare yourself just like space or sky. So not to measure yourself in body form. Because You were not body, You are not body, You are not going to remain body. It’s an external cover. Prior to beingness you were unknown to you. After leaving body what knowledge you have got? Brahman, Atman, Paramatman, God, Master, these are the terms that came along with the body only. All these requirements came along with the body. Who else wants it? Prior to beingness any peacefulness is there? Any fear is there? Who wants peacefulness? Who wants happiness? Who is under tension? Because body is not tolerable.

Q: Is that also a thought, that which one speaks?

Maharaj: No thought, no thought is thoughtless state, no thought is there. Thoughts, concepts, came along with the body only. Where are thoughts prior to beingness? After leaving, after leaving this body any thought is there? Who wants peacefulness? Who wants happiness? Who is fearing? And for what are you fearing? Basically, stop measuring yourself in body-form. Because body is not your identity, body was not your identity, body is not going to remain your identity. Where are thoughts come? You are experiencing thought and, “it’s a good thought, this is bad thoughts”. Thoughts which are tolerable you say it is good thoughts. Thoughts not tolerable you say bad thoughts. The thing which is good for you, it may be bad for others. Thing which is bad for may be good to others. Be Plain. Remove all the concepts. Complete blank. You are to surrender your Selfless Self. There should no be subtle ego that ‘I’ also.”

So, in that case, try to find out within yourself Who Am I? Then the conclusion is you are Brahman, Atman, Paramatman, God, Master is not separate from you. Why this is necessary? Because we are under the pressure of so many concepts. What is the principal of spirituality? To remove all concepts, even the I-Am. You say Brahman also is a concept. I Am Brahman also concept. Where all concepts dissolve There You Are without any identity. Listen to me. When all concepts including Brahman, Atman, Paramatman, Master, disciple dissolve There You Are. That Spontaneous Conviction supposed to appear. Then you need not to go anywhere. At that stage there won’t be any temptation to go anywhere to find out the Brahman, Atman, Paramatman, God, Master. It is not separate from you.

Only you must have Courage to accept the Reality. That we are lacking. To have that Courage, to have that Power, to have that Energy, you have to undergo the meditation, it is the only source. Mediation means hammering all the time your Selfless Self that You Are Brahman, You Are Atman, You Are Paramatman. It appears in duality. And out of duality that individuality also disappears. In the beginning you say, “when I am sitting in meditation, I’m somebody doing meditation”, its duality, it’s correct. But we are taking the help of the illusion to remove another illusion. To say ‘I’ is illusion. To say ‘you’ also illusion. To say Brahman also illusion. Entire world is illusion. It’s Fact. Today you may not believe it. It’s fact. Because its beyond one’s belief. Even if you think intellectually, how you were prior to beingness? Your answer is “I don’t know.” After leaving this body, how you will be? “I don’t know.” That “I don’t know” is a perfect answer because you were formless, you are formless, and you are going to remain formless. But there is no concept. Dissolve all concept, you are to remove all this illusory complication. It’s the feeling that the fire is there which is covered with the ash. Through meditation you are removing ash, removing concepts, body-based-concepts. It’s the purpose of spirituality.

Not difficult. Not impossible. No to stress, not to struggle with anything. Go deep and deep and deeper within Your Selfless Self. Then forget this world. Therefore, the purpose is, there should not be any other concept like this. This is last concept. No, I-Am, No You-Are. Nothing is there. No Brahman, no Atman, no Paramatman, these are the concepts. God also concept. It’s Fact. Because we are giving birth to God and Brahman. This is not intellectual thing. So, for having some Conviction, you must undergo strictly meditation. (inaudible). In the beginning, “Oh what?”. But there is no other source. Yes, I know it. You have to devote some time for You. Because you are traveling from this imbalanced illusionary world. So, we don’t expect there will be another illusionary world hereafter. This is Last Ultimate Truth and Ultimate Truth not separate from You. So only playing with the spiritual words and literal knowledge is meaningless. And dry discussion on spirituality, also meaningless.

You are to go, go deep within You. Go deep and deeper within You. And then, your so-called existence will disappear. There won’t be any experience, no experiencer, no witness, no witnesser, completely complete aloof from the world. And then attachment with the body will be reduced. Though you are using the body for some work or for some performing some duties, but you will remain untouched with the body-based knowledge. Mind, ego, intellect may be there, but you are using sparingly. And then when they require, ok forget it. So then in that case there won’t be any confusion. No temptation. After knowing the Reality, no temptation to go anywhere. If there is temptation to go anywhere that means, something wrong. But you are not knowing yourself. Not knowing your importance.

You’ve got Tremendous Power. You’ve got a lot of importance. Not to underestimate You. Not to measure in body-base. You are beyond that. You Are Final Terminal. Why to go here and there? I’m not restricting your visit, but not with the intention if I go to that master and that place I will get some realization. Nothing. You will be misguided, misguided, misguided. Because there is no separate, Brahman is not there, except Yourself. So why to go for unnecessary distracting from Reality? Because You Are Reality. So be with You all the time. It’s very simple knowledge. Not to come across with any illusionary elements. So many shops are there. Commercial shops. Philosophical shops. Spiritual shops. Why? Now spirituality becomes business. Unfortunately. Not to attract with that spiritual business. I’m not criticizing, its fact.

So, we are pointing out the Invisible Listener within You that You are Ultimate Truth. No miracles. Nothing is there. Have some Strength. Power already within you. Encourage your Power. Entice your Power. Use your Power. So not to develop somebody stepping in “Oh this Brahman, I will show you”. Nobody can show you Brahman. It can’t be showed. How shows this sky? Or American sky? Can it be showed, American sky? Or show Indian sky. Nobody can. This is misleading, misrepresenting. Sky is Everywhere. Likewise, the name of Brahman is given, that is the Individual Principle everywhere in every being. Not only human, every being. This world is full of, Presence, Brahman. But we are unknown to that Reality. Therefore, to know the Reality you are to undergo the meditation, it’s the only source.

The People say “I spent so many years in this place so many…” Why you are unnecessarily wasting your life? Do you job, do your duties. Not to go around like this. Not to leave your family life. People are coming to me, I am saying “go, if you want to get married, get married, no problem”. “Oh, I am spiritual man, how can I can’t get married?” You can get married what is there? It is body requirement, it is body food. If you want to get married. But not “oh, how can I get married?” Thoughts are coming but you are trying to restrict it. And again, they are blowing it. Expose it. So likewise, not to accept unnecessary impressions, concept from. You become judge of your own. Think it. Which is good which is bad for your body, for your spiritual body.

You want to ask any questions for that? So in brief, except your Selfless Self there is no God, no Brahman, no Atman, No Paramatman, No Master. It is very simple. Reality is placed before you. You may accept it, you may not accept it, it’s up to you. Yes. Because This Is Final Truth. Final Ultimate Truth.”
