Only listening, hours together, years together, playing with the spiritual words. Brahman, Atman, Paramatman, God, Master, Maya, these are the words. Concentrate on the listener within you. Brahman, Atman, Paramatman, God is not separate from you. For which, only source is meditation. Beyond that nothing is there. If you approach so many masters it is meaningless. You read so many books it is meaningless. Now you are not required to read any book. You may read it, but now you have to be practicing it. Very shortcut method. Don’t ignore, practice meditation. Meditation is not sitting like this, I already told you. Meditation means involvement. Totally you are concentrating, my Master said simply. Somebody abuses you with very bad language, always you remember that person. ‘I will take revenge on that person, I will take revenge’. 24 hours you remain with that man. Similarly, Master is given abuse to you. ‘You are Brahman’. Accept, you have to accept like that. It is open fact. This dead body does not belong to you.
You got, I don’t say that you neglect it. But try to identify. The holder of the body, the listener in the body, is Ultimate Truth. Because why this is required. Because at the time of leaving the body there should not be any consideration ‘I am dying’. Then again, another dream may be put there. If you ignore it, then there is the possibility of another dream. So, don’t develop concepts. All masters are good. What they say: Brahman, Atman, Paramatman, God, Master, these are the words. Address to the listener. You are Ultimate Truth. Accept it. It is priceless. Not to have any ego or anything. Because direct or indirect we have a lot of attachment with this. Now we have got a lot of ego ‘I am somebody else.’ What is the use of ego? Ego, mind, intellect came afterwards along with the body. They are not prior to beingness. So, how were you prior to beingness, and how will you be after leaving the body? At that time everything is unknown. Unknown came into existence in known in the form of body, and unknown will be dissolved in unknown. That means bodies will be formless. Basically, you are formless. Because these clothes are there, therefore we say ‘Oh’. It is very simple. And therefore, I am insisting instead of playing with the spiritual words, be practical knowledge. This is a request to everybody because if I go on talking and talking it will be meaningless. You listen and ‘Oh, Maharaj has given a nice lecture.’ No. It is your information. It is your story, listener’s story. Try to concentrate meditation. If possible, sit alone. If you have got a small group, have a small group. If it is not possible to sit, you can recite the Mantra and remember the words of the Masters. You must have strong faith within you. You must have strong faith with your Master. That is the principle of spirituality.
So, no struggle with anybody else. No hatred. I told you the symptoms of the Realized person. Forgive and forget. Symptoms of the Realized person. Internally totally changed. After that knowledge is absorbed within you totally at that time, you will be completely changed from in and out. Feeling will be there. Forgive and forget, I have given a number of examples of Jesus Christ, example, when the soldiers are nailing him, what he says, ‘Oh God, forgive them, they do not know what they are doing.’ In that condition. That happens within you also. The moment knowledge, Reality, is absorbed. And tolerance, if anybody made any allegation. Nisargadatta Maharaj says ‘If anybody says you are a foolish Saint, no depression. If he says you are a very good Saint, no appreciation. Nothing for me, because whom they are addressing their abuses, I am not that.’ So likewise, tolerance is required. Ignore everything. Then, anxious to know the Reality. Third thing, no attachment to the world. No attraction of the world. It happens. Because whatever requirement is for body only, not to you. If there is no body, no requirement. Who wants peacefulness, happiness? Nothing is required. So, though you are living in this world, you remain untouched with the world. Then total devotion and trust. These are the qualities, symptoms of Realization. It is very easy, it is very difficult. Try to absorb what I have told you until today. That’s enough. Only playing with the words, spiritual words, meaningless. You can read books, what they want to convey that is most important. Suppose this master says like this, this master says like this, O.K. They talk about yourself. They are giving story of their own, the story of the listener or reader. O.K.
