Chapter 15 Chapter Fifteen The Road Is Found

"Having gained the use of the inner senses, conquered the desires of the outer senses, conquered the desires of the individual soul, and gained knowledge, O disciples, now prepare the way into reality. The way is found: take yourselves Get ready and step on it." "Getting the use of the inner senses...." We know something about the outer senses, but each sense has a double dimension.For example eyes.The eyes can look out.This is just one aspect of it.The eyes can also look inward.That's another level of it.You can also listen to what is happening inside.That is another function, another level.

Every sense has two doors.One is open to the outer world; the other is open to the inner world.Every sense has an outer and an inner, but we only use our senses in one direction.We have become fixed; we forget that these senses can also be used to look within. "Getting the use of the inner senses...." Having got the hidden layers of the senses, many things become possible.A new world unfolds before you.The inside is as wide as the outside, and the inside is as vast as the outside.You are standing exactly in the middle: you are standing between the inner universe and the outer universe.

The outside is broad.People say that the outside is infinite, without beginning and without end; it has no boundaries.The same is true inside.Without boundaries, the inner space is also infinite.The outer is being explored by the scientific method.Inside can be found through yoga methods. Science has made many advances and has learned many things about the outer world.But the inner has been forgotten; it is no longer remembered.We are now rich in terms of the outer world, in terms of outer experience, but inwardly we are utterly poor.But what is the use of gaining the outer world if we lose ourselves in the process of gaining it?If you lose yourself, what will you gain?Even if you get the whole world, you get nothing.If you lose yourself then the meaning of life itself - truth, goodness, beauty, everything is lost.People can accumulate things, accumulate power, but at the cost of losing themselves.Well, the whole point is missed.

Science tries to amplify the outer senses.Now, through mechanical devices, we can see far into space.Vision has been magnified by the scientific method.Now we can hear things in the distance.Technology has amplified our sense of hearing. The same thing can happen to our inner senses.Through inner techniques such as meditation, yoga, tantra, etc., your inner senses are amplified.And once it's magnified, you can see a lot of things. Unless you see these things, they will seem like myths, superstitions.We hear and read unbelievable things about Buddha, Jesus, Krishna.Muhammad, Zarathustra, Moses all seem like mythical figures because we cannot experience what they say.We have lost touch with them.Moses said he heard the voice of God on Mount Sinna.How can you believe such a thing?We've never heard of such a thing.

If you go to primitive tribes and tell them that on the radio we hear voices from far away, they won't believe it.Or, if you say that on TV we see pictures from afar, they won't believe it, because they don't have that kind of experience. Inwardly, we become primitive in the same way.Moses said he heard the voice of God.Jesus talks to his Father in heaven.They look like psychos.They must be crazy.There are many psychological studies of Jesus that show that Jesus must have been crazy. "What does he mean, talking to God? Where is God? How can you talk to God? And how can God talk to you? Jesus must be crazy. He must be hallucinating, and he believes his hallucinations. He's neurotic." He looks like a neurotic because we have become primitive as far as the inner world is concerned.

If your inner senses are penetrating, if your inner senses are alive, if you have known how to use your inner senses, you can also channel yourself into the Divine.You can listen, you can listen, you can see, you can touch those mysteries.They are always there.Moses is not crazy, it is us who have become primitive.Jesus is not crazy, it is us who have lost touch with ourselves. "Getting the use of the inner senses, conquering the desires of the outer senses...." Because if the desires of the outer senses are still active, you cannot go inward.Desire is the way that points outward; desire is the way that takes you outward.If your mind is still desiring, you cannot go within.

That's why so many people are emphasizing desirelessness.That's not a moral idea.Desirelessness is a very scientific concept.If you want to go inside, your mind has to lose all desire to go outside.Otherwise how can you go inside?That's simple arithmetic.If you want to go to the left, you have to let go of the desire to go to the right.Otherwise one foot will go to the right; the other will go to the left.You will go crazy.You cannot go in two directions at the same time.Desire will take you out.Desirelessness will take you inward. "The desire that conquers the outer senses, the desire that conquers the individual soul...." If you are still egocentric, you always think from your ego's point of view; you always think from your individual, selfish point of view. think.Then you cannot see the deeper truths that exist.You're not entitled to see it; you don't deserve to see it.And it's also dangerous.Try to understand it.

For example, science now understands some very fundamental secrets of matter.Science has forced matter to reveal some of the secrets of atomic energy.That has turned into something devastating.Man is not yet qualified, not yet worthy to know such a great secret.Science forced matter to reveal these secrets.Science is aggressive. Einstein is said to have said: "If I were born again, I would not be a scientist. I would rather be a plumber. Everything I do is destructive. Whatever I discover, my whole life have been wasted. I may seem to be one of those responsible for the destruction of all humanity."

In his last years he suffered deeply.A secret has been revealed, but humanity is not ready, it is not worth seeing that secret.Humans are still childish and stupid.A power as great as atomic energy cannot be placed in the hands of man. And now, politicians have got the secret.Politicians must be stupid, they cannot not be stupid, because anyone with political ambition is an egoist.The desire to be in power is the desire of the ego, and the ego is the stupidest thing.It can force you to do anything; it's insane.Political ambition is an obsession with the self. Scientists have uncovered some secrets, and politicians have kept those secrets.Then they destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.And now they are ready to destroy the whole planet.At any moment, the entire Earth can be destroyed.We have more destructive power than destroy the earth seven times.We can destroy seven Earths like ours; that's nothing.We are developing more destructive forces.for what?Why is there so much desire for death and destruction?Einstein said it would be foolish for scientists to force nature to reveal secrets that humans do not yet deserve.But you can, because matter can be compelled.

You cannot do this kind of thing inside.Consciousness cannot be forced.You cannot know the secrets within unless you are ready.You cannot know something unless it is good for you and for others.So this scripture: "Conquer the desires of the individual soul" - ambition, ego, desire for power, seeing yourself as the center of the universe - unless you conquer these things, the innermost secrets of consciousness cannot be revealed to you of. "... having conquered the desires of the individual soul and gained knowledge, O disciples, now prepare the way into reality." So far we have been dealing with the work of consciousness: your own consciousness, subjective consciousness.All scriptures so far are intended to activate, use, change, transform, and change subjective consciousness.When a person becomes fully aware in his subjective world, he is able to enter the real world.

Remember this: if you move inward, you enter the subjective world; if you move outward, you enter the objective world; if you move beyond both, you enter the real world.Objectivity is not reality; objectivity is only part of reality.Subjective is not real either.It is also part of reality.When both the subjective and the objective are transcended, you have entered the real world. If you use your senses on your outer journey, you will come into contact with objective things.If you use your senses in your inner journey, you will be in touch with the subjective, the one who knows.What is found through external, objective things is: what is known.What is found through the inner, subjective things is: the one who knows, the self.But both are only partial.The real world is made up of both. In the real world, the two are one.We call it Brahma: The Ultimate Reality.You cannot access ultimate reality through the objective or the subjective.You have to lose both.That is why to understand the soul you have to use the inner senses, and to understand matter you have to use the outer senses; but to understand Brahma you need not use any senses, neither outer nor inner.If you want to enter into ultimate reality, the senses must be completely abandoned, both outer and inner.Without these senses, one enters the real world. That is why Shankara cannot admit that science understands the real world.He said that science only knows the objective world.He also cannot admit that those who say there is no Brahma know the real world, because they only know the subjective self.Only those who have transcended both, the duality of subject and object, know the ultimate truth. "O disciples, prepare now for the way into reality. The way is found: prepare yourself and step on it." "Ask the earth, water, and wind for the secrets they keep for you." If you are ready to lose the distinction between the subjective and the objective, you can ask directly: "Ask the earth, water, and wind the secrets they have kept for you." You can ask the elements directly.If you are ready to lose the distinction between the subjective and the objective, if you are ready to lose all thought, if you are ready to lose your mind, if you are ready to be hollow and empty, you can ask the elements the secrets they keep for you . And what secrets do they keep?Buddha appeared in this world.He is recorded by everything from earth, wind, water, sky, space.The appearance of the Buddha is such a great phenomenon that the universe will record the way the Buddha appeared.Krishna dances on the earth.He was recorded.This phenomenon itself is a peak that the earth cannot forget and the sky cannot forget.They are recorded.These important things will be recorded by these elements. You can ask directly.If you are utterly empty, you can ask directly, and the earth will reveal its secrets.If Krishna had brought the Gita on the battlefield of Kurutshetra, it must have been hidden somewhere in the wind, in the heart of the wind.If you are ready, if you are worthy, the wind can reveal the most secret teachings to you. When it is revealed to you you will feel very strange, you will feel very confused, because the Gita recorded by human beings is nothing in comparison; it is horribly wrong.A lot has been projected on it, a lot has been cut out.That's not the real thing; it's just a human record.And it is natural for the human mind to err. But these elements of nature are also recorded, and their recording is absolutely true, for no mind translates, alters, adds to or subtracts from.What is recorded in these elements is the purest.If Muhammad spoke, if Jesus spoke, it would be recorded in these elements.Earth cannot lose touch with such a highly evolved, developed, transformed being.The elements cannot lose their connection; the connection remains.These elements can reveal many secrets to you.You can do this when your inner senses are developed. "Ask the spirits of the earth for the secrets they have kept for you. Having conquered the desires of the outer senses, it is your right to do so." "Ask the spirits of the earth for the secrets they have kept for you." We exist in bodies, but there are many spirits around you that exist in a bodiless state.The human spirit can exist both in the body and in a disembodied form.The incorporeal form is still part of the universe; it is still in the world.It has not yet escaped from the world; freedom has not yet happened.It comes back easily, it has a tendency to come back.It's just waiting for a suitable uterus. There are many divine masters who are not fully enlightened and are existing in a bodiless form.When a person is fully enlightened, he disappears from body and form.He disappears completely; he dissolves into the source of the world.Buddha, Jesus, they all go back to the original source of the world.But there are many people who, though not fully enlightened, understand many things, many beauties, many truths (but not the one truth).They understand many things, they have reached a certain stage.They are not enlightened, but they have reached a certain stage. That's why they are called "Holy Spirits".They can help you a lot.If you are open to them, you can reach them.In Theosophy they are called "Masters". The book "Light on the Way" was dictated by the "Master" to Mabel Collins. The "Masters" know many secrets that have been lost or distorted from Earth, from human records.Or, we just can't read them because that language has been forgotten.It is still impossible to understand what is written in Harappa Mohenjo Daro culture.It remains a secret.We know that certain things are written, but we don't know what those things are.The form is preserved, but the key is lost.We know there are many scriptures from many cultures, but languages ​​are lost. These spirits are able to reveal many things that have always been there.They can remind us.If you are serene, innocent, inwardly moved, you can be in touch with them.If you use your inner senses, you can get in touch with them and your life can easily be transformed.On your own it may take many lifetimes to reach the goal, but with these Holy Spirits, you can easily get help. And there are many of them.You just have to be open, unafraid, ready to be led, and you will be led.But before you can receive, you must prepare yourself for receptivity.Through meditation, that receptivity comes to you.There is no other way.Only through silence can you hear a certain voice from the otherworldly. Always remember one thing: that you have to become more and more still, more and more centered within.Whenever you have time, close your eyes and move inward.Don't be busy doing things when you have nothing to do, and don't stay unnecessarily busy. I see people doing unnecessary things.I have seen people read the same newspaper over and over again.They have nothing else to do, so they read the same newspaper over and over again.They cannot remain empty and idle.Meditation means learning how to be empty, unoccupied. Shut down your outer senses and just fall inward.Use whatever time you find to do these things, and soon it will be as easy as getting in and out of your room.You walked out of your room without difficulty; you returned to your room without difficulty.You don't even have to think about how to get in and out.When the outside world needs you, you go out; when the outside world doesn't need you, you go in.This phenomenon is so simple if you practice.Then you can jump out at any time, and you can jump in at any time. And once you have the ability to do this simple action, you are free.Then the world can't bother you.Nothing can bother you because when you are in the innermost center nothing can bother you.When you are on the periphery, the world touches you.When you are in the center, you are beyond the world.
