An opportunity to identify yourself.

So this is an opportunity to identify yourself. For which meditation is the only source. If you go on approaching so many Masters, reading thousands of books, spiritual books, we are adding something, intellect.  Because your Selfless Self is there, nothing is there.  God, Brahman, Atman, Paramatman, God, Master, these are names given to that Ultimate, Supernatural Power within you.  I’m inviting the attention of the Invisible Listener within you that you are Ultimate Truth, you are Final Truth. You need not go anywhere.

But, some confusion is there because we’ve read so many books, so many concepts were impressed, were engraved upon us. We’ve got to break the circle of all concepts, body-related concepts. Even if you say “I am Brahman”, it’s also concept.  You’re beyond that. These are names, words are there, good words. Because we’ve created language, given the meaning of language, each and every word.

And therefore I am insisting, in the beginning stage, one should undergo the meditation.  It’s the only source, the base, the foundation.  After having Spontaneous Conviction, meditation is also illusion.  Why is meditation required?  Through meditation you are inviting the attention of the Invisible Meditator within you that you are Ultimate Truth.  Through meditation you are inviting the attention of the Invisible Meditator, Anonymous Meditator within you that you are Ultimate Truth, Brahman, Atman, Paramatman, God.  After Conviction you’re not required to go anywhere, everything is within you. You’ve got tremendous power, but we are always depending on somebody else.  “Do some something-prayers for me, do something-prayers for me”, “give me some blessing”, “put your hand on my head”, why? Try to absorb the knowledge which you already have.

Anybody have any questions, you can ask it. Be free! Yes, yes, okay, welcome.

Q: Sri Ramakant, after reading Selfless Self my spaces in meditation were longer when the ‘I’ disappeared, they disappeared for longer periods, and…

Maharaj: See, ‘I’ appeared upon your Presence. To say ‘I’ it appeared upon your Presence.  If there’s no Presence who says ‘I’?  You’re prior to ‘I’.  ‘I’ is a word, ‘I’, ‘you’, ‘he’, ‘she’, it is an indication, an identification, local identification, physical identification.

Q: But after I began experiencing so much peace in that, and before my trip I experienced so much resistance to get here and it’s like I made myself come.

Maharaj: The experience is okay, it’s a good experience. But at the last stage, the Ultimate Stage there is no experience no experiencer, no witness no witnesser.  Experience appeared upon your Presence, it’s a good thing, not a bad thing. When you come closer and closer to your Selfless Self some good experiences appear: exceptional peacefulness is there, exceptional happiness is there, there is spiritual intoxication without any cause, without any material cause.
