Material causes, material life, material life is not permanent. Because body is not permanent. Because some day or another you are to leave the body. So, who is acting within that body? That I’m pointing out that Invisible Presence within you that is Ultimate Truth. Because of the body impressions we forgot our Identity. Everybody know I Brahman, Atman, Paramatman, God, Master, but it is not absorbed that Reality. To absorb Reality, you have to undergo strictly the meditation. Because though we knowing I am Brahman, Atman, God, Master, it is not impressed so much. It is not engraved so much. It should be engraved, you cannot wash out that. Most important, for which you are to undergo the process. This Reality not anywhere in the world. This is Your Reality.
There Nothing Is There. No attraction. No sources for some happiness. Source started from You. Source end within You. Because You are central point of this world. Except yourself nothing is there. There should not be temptation to go anywhere. Because you have lots of material attractions. Some sex is there. Money is there. Publicity is there. So many attractions that try to pacify the body knowledge, have some peacefulness. It’s temporary relief just like pain-killers, not permanent. Try to identify.
See one thing is that some or other day we are to leave this body. It’s Fact. Willingly or unwillingly you are to leave this body. That means body is not your identity at all, body was not your identity, and body not going to remain. The Invisible Presence acting within the body is Ultimate Truth, is The Brahman. It is not separate from You. You are the source of all the Brahman. So not to have any temptation to go anywhere. Everything within you. Why to go here and there? Today some person from Rishikesh is coming. Rishikesh, Kanya Kumari, Himalaya. Why to go here and there? Why to torture your body. You need not torture your body. Very plain knowledge, the base-Reality.
You have Secret Asset. Invisible Asset. Confidential Asset. That You Are. What is that? Just to find out what is that, just sit quiet. Just glimpses of ‘I’. Nothing else. It is caught with the body, so we accepted the body as our identity and therefore we are running here and there for happiness. What is happiness? What is peacefulness? Why we are fearing all the time birth, death, and something else? No death is there. No birth is there. Because we’re measuring ourselves in body form therefore we feel that ‘I will die, last birth, future birth, all concepts engraved upon us, wrapped upon us.
Somebody says like this. ‘Don’t read from such book which will try to distract you from the Reality. There are thousands of books on spirituality. Everybody wrote something, what he imagines, or they have some concept. Don’t go such, because it will divert you. It will distract you from Reality. Because you are Reality. To Identify what else what books is required? To know yourself, no books are required. You know better to you. You know better that body is not identity at all. You can hold body. You can have your all responsibilities. Take care of your body. Not to neglect your body. Not to sit idle, ‘oh I’m spiritual man’. Do your job, do your duties. You can do it. But, try to concentrate Concentrator that Invisible Concentrator within you is Ultimate Truth. Without it, nothing is there. It’s very simple thing. So, spirituality not restraining from all your routine life.
But meditation most important because meditation always hammering, always impressing your Reality. Why meditation is required? Because that words are impressing, hammering all the time that You are Brahman, You are Brahman, You are Brahman. And then knowingly or unknowingly that Spirit Accept ‘Oh So That I Am That.’ That Conviction, Spontaneous Conviction supposed to be there. Then you need not to go to any deliberate effort. In the beginning, you are to undergo some deliberate effort, but in the last, no deliberate effort required. Because its Fact. Your Presence is Ultimate Truth. That is called Secret Asset. Confidential Asset. Invisible Asset within you.
But generally, nobody knows it and we are wandering here and there, in search of some Masters, in search of some. Why to search of Masters? Yes because, it’s okay. You are not knowing your address, till that time you are to search for address. After arriving at the destination throw that address away. So, like that, knowing the Reality, you are to discard. People who create books, but what they wanted to convey that is most important. No to try to analyze the words. Try to identify, what they say, what they want to convey. There are so many Masters there, very rare though those with Exceptional identity. So, some people say kundalini and these things, it all is meaningless, no kundalini. No chakra is there. Entire Asset, Entire Secret Asset Invisible asset, Invisible property within you why to go here and there to find out that Property. That is principal of spirituality.
So, with the help of the Master try to identify. After identifying that Invisible Master within you, nothing do anything. Do your job, do your duties, if you like, smoothly. Because at that time you will be have Exceptional Peacefulness, Exceptional Happiness within you. Happiness, Peacefulness not separate from you. Why there is fear? Because you do not know, it is nature of the Spirit. Because Spirit knows itself through body only. Spirit does not know I am Spirit. Presence does not know I am Presence. It knows through body only therefore it likes to continue that body. I like to give an example of small ant. You pour water, he’s running here and there. Why? The smallest subtlest presence wants to continue that body. So, it’s the nature of the Spirit, Presence. Because through body it knows I am somebody else. Either man or woman, whatsoever, any being. So, that external cover should not go away, should not die, should not disappear. That efforts are there, therefore you fear not to go this body. For which, after knowing the Reality, ok what has happened? Some or other day willingly or unwillingly you are to leave the body. The end of the body after, the cemetery mm? So, it’s not going to remain. So, that Conviction, then there won’t be fears.
After having such conviction, body is not my identity body was not my identity, what to why to fear? So, that fear will be disappear. For which you are struggling for meditation or the Spirituality. Spirituality giving you Courage. Spirituality giving you Courage, Power, Energy. Live with Brave. Live with that Light. Don’t be cowards, what coward, just little. Some or other day you are to be prepared for that. That is idea behind spirituality therefore why you do the meditation. Because through meditation all illusory concepts dissolves. Meditation, all illusory concepts dissolves, for which you are to undergo strictly meditation. Not sitting like this, you got to have some non-stop recitation, reciting Mantra. Mantra came from Dattatreya. So, that is the basic principle of spirituality. Because literally we are knowing “I am Brahman” but it is not sufficient. Literal knowledge, bookish knowledge not sufficient. Because after knowing this you will forget. So, material knowledge, literal knowledge, dry knowledge will not help you. Be practical. Practical is most important. Nisargadatta Maharaj till the age of 70 or 75 they are working some shops. So, they not left their job, duties, “oh I am spiritual man, I am Master, I will not continue my business.” No. I also working in a bank some. So not to depend upon anybody else. You can stand on your own feet. this body-based knowledge, you’re routine life also. Not to depend upon spirituality also. Because you are spiritual man or woman, man or woman spiritual. Spirituality is already with you. Why to go here and there to find out spirituality? So Be With You all the time. You must have courage not to come across with such elements that will distract you from the Reality. So many masters in the world who are talking something, something. So, I’m not criticizing it. It happens. But here, there is not any business, there is not any commercial use. We are pointing out that except your Selfless Self there is no God. You want to ask anything?
Q: No questions.
Maharaj: This is simple, very, very simple. All these master’s giving the simple knowledge. Except your selfless Self nothing is there. Why to go to identify ourself here and there? Where is Lauv, where is he? You are Lauv. hmm? So, like that. To whom you are searching The Searcher Itself Is Ultimate Truth. It is not separate from You. So be strong, spiritually strong, not physical strong, not egoistical strong. So, nobody impresses their own ideas or concept upon you. You may be anywhere in the world, you need not to go here and there. Not to stay for long in ashram. If you have sufficient time you can stay in ashram no problem. But Where You Are There, There Ashram Is There. You may be in your house, you may be in cottage, Ashram Is There. No exercise is required. No special efforts are required to identify yourself. But only thing have Conviction, you are to undergo strictly meditation, most important, it’s the only source.
