If ‘I’ is there, then ‘why’ is there

Sri Ramakant Maharaj a recorded discussion from Ranjit Ashram in Nashik of Satsang with Sri Ramakant Maharaj January 2, 2013.

The whole world. W-O-R-L-D. All world is in him. But the same world also in other, so, how can this be?

M: There is no anything like this. When you are considering yourself in body form, therefore you are thinking like that. Because you are considering yourself in body from, therefore this question arises. You are not in body form. I repeatedly say, your presence is just like the sky.

For example, you see the dream world. In the dream world you see sky, you see moon, you see sun, everything you see. From where it comes? From little presence, limited presence, clicks with the body and the entire show is projected. Little presence, you say ‘I am’. Clicked with the body entire show is projected. Not only that you are seeing this world, this sun, this moon, everything. Your acting, and not only that you are acting in that dream. Some invisible presence is taking the photographs. On awakening you say ‘Oh, I have seen this dream, I was acting like this’ Who is it that has created that world? You are sleeping, deep sleep. You are remembering all those stories. After awakening you are remembering all of those stories. Just like Sudama. You know the story of Sudama? This is what is called Maya.

So, first thing, not to consider, not to consider as a body form. I explain more. Spirit clicked with the body you see the explosion of this world. Just as matchbox and stick. Click you see the fire. Fire is everywhere. Fire is everywhere, because it is there when you click the matchbox and stick you see the fire. So, your presence is everywhere. Only click with the body and see this world ‘I am somebody else’. So, you are everywhere. Death and birth are only for the body. Not for you, not for anybody else. Not for you or anybody else.

Mind, ego, intellect, they are outcome of your body form. Prior to beingness, there is no mind, no ego, no intellect, nothing was there. No body was there. Therefore, one devotee asked the question of Nisargadatta Maharaj: “So every day I see the same world, same people, same sun, same moon.” Nisargadatta Maharaj replied: “You see yourself first, then you see the world. Without your presence you can’t see the world.” In body, if presence was not there, it is a dead body. Who will talk about the world? Who will talk about the people? Along with that spirit, everything goes. The moment spirit dissolves, the world dissolves. Entire world is a drama. The moment the spirit dissolves, entire world dissolves. Who will talk about the world? Who will talk about the relations?

This is only a food body. As long as you are supplying food, it will survive. You stop supplying the food, it will be reduced, reduced, reduced, and then it is gone, thin. So, who supplys the food? You use the food. If you don’t take food for say two weeks or three weeks, your weight is reducing, this fat. This is a food body. So, after knowing this there won’t be any struggle. Why to struggle? Who to struggle? No enemy, no friends. No enemy, no friends. No father, no mother. Because of the ego we are fighting. Unless ego dissolves, we are not able to know ourselves in a real sense. So, ego is supposed to be dissolved. ‘I am, I am’ What ‘I am’? Body is not going to remain constantly. This is a dead body. Ego is number one enemy. Diverting all spirituality. Making slave. We have become a slave of our body knowledge. Slave of mind, ego, and intellect. So, I am alerting. Be cautious. Forget past life. Start new life. This is a new birth. We are considering our self in some body form. After listening to the reality, you are not in body form. No more body form is there. ‘I am Ultimate Truth’.

Q: Why is his spirit is so weak? Why can’t he understand this?

M: There is no ‘why’. Again, we are counting on the base of intellect ‘why’. There is no ‘why’. Because everything is sky. There is no ‘why’ everything is sky. Is sky questioning anything? The sun is questioning? ‘Because of my heat somebody goes, because of my heat somebody is dying’? Is sun saying ‘Oh, I am giving light to everybody.’ It is spontaneous. There is no ‘why’, there is no ‘I’ to question ‘why’. If ‘I’ is there, then ‘why’ is there. If ‘I’ is not there, then the question of ‘why’ is no more.

For which meditation is required. It dissolves all this body knowledge. Ego, mind, intellect. First stage is meditation. As I told earlier. Clean your hard disk. Strong software, software is required, anti-virus software is required. So, Guru Mantra is strong anti-virus software. Everything will be opened. We have so many unwanted information in this laptop. Since childhood. So, since childhood until today, unwanted information, illusory information, we are feeding that laptop. Unless you remove all those unwanted files, you will not get good results. Virus, is confusing, creates problems. With various ways I am trying to convince you.

When you are holding body, some good things, bad things are bound to happen. All saintly faced, all saintly people faced a number of problems. What they realized, ‘I have nothing to do with the body’ and body related knowledge. So, don’t worry. Problems will be minimized. When you go closer and closer to your Selfless Self. After establishing the reality, after conviction. You yourself ‘Oh I am everywhere in the world.’
