Try to Absorb the Reality

You’re self-sufficient. But we are always underestimating ourself, thinking something is there, some supernatural power is there regulating all this world.  As I said, do not underestimate yourself.   Your Selfless Self is very strong.  There’s no birth, no death, these are concepts.  Nobody knows ‘I am born’, nobody knows ‘I am dying’.  Death and birth are connected with the body-knowledge only.  You’re never the body, you’re not the body at all, it’s a fact.  You’re unborn.  The sky is having birth and death?  The sky knows hell or heaven? Good deed, bad deed, bad energy, good energy, what is... We’ve made a circle and within that circle we are trying to live.  Break the circle.  For which again I am repeating: meditation is the base at the beginning stage.  Only discussion, dry discussion on spirituality, playing with the various spiritual words is meaningless.  You can do it!  You’ve got tremendous power!  You’re not separate from God, Brahman, Atman, Paramatman.  The Invisible Listener is having tremendous power, it is called Brahman, Atman, Paramatman.  Be with you all the time. You do your job, you do your duties, not to neglect your health also, not to neglect your family life. Be practical.  But at the same time try to identify yourself in a real sense.

Yes? Anybody having any question? Be free, don’t worry about it! Okay.

Q: Maharaj?

Maharaj: Yes?

Q: How do you practice self-enquiry?  How is the process?

Maharaj: Self-enquiry just means we are unaware of our identity. “Who am I?”  Self-enquiry starts because “Who am I”? Though it is called ‘Brahman, Atman, Paramatman, God’, we are not knowing what is Brahman, Atman, Paramatman, God, Master.  Because so many concepts are engraved upon us from childhood till today we have accepted and are acting within that circle of concepts.  The questioner itself is Ultimate Truth, you just forgot your identity.

You can do it!  It’s not impossible, not difficult, you just have you to devote some time.  It is free of charge, no charge is there.  It’s your knowledge, the Listener’s knowledge, not the knowledge of Brahman, Atman, Paramatman, God, Master.  The Listener, Invisible Listener is not knowing ‘I am somebody else’, ‘Brahman’, ‘Atman’. Through meditation you hammering all the time ‘I am Brahman’, ‘Soham’, ‘Aham Brahmasmi’ these are the words.  Considering the sensitivity of the Spirit, words are given.  Spirit is very sensitive.  If anyone says “You are donkey”, you are slapping him, insulting him.  If anyone says “You are Brahman”— “Oh, how can I be Brahman?” For which you are not required to…You just have to involve yourself, try to absorb the Reality.
