Chapter 5 Chapter 4 From Illusion to Reality

Born 25 February 1973 in Bombay, India first question: In what way can the practice of "remembering yourself" change the mind? Man is not centered in himself.He is centered when he is born, but society, family, education, culture, etc. push him out of the center, whether intentionally or unintentionally, they push him out of the center in a very cunning way, So in a sense everyone becomes "ecA centric" - off-center.There is a reason for this, it is a reason for survival. When a child is born he has to be forced to undergo certain training. The society cannot set him free. If the society sets him completely free, he will remain in the center -- spontaneously, living with himself, living by himself.He will be as he is, he will be real, then there is no need to practice any "remembering yourself", no need to practice any meditation, because he will not be off center, he will stay with himself -- To be centered, to be rooted, to be grounded in one's own nature, but such a thing is not yet possible. Therefore, meditation is medicinal. Society creates disease, and then that disease has to be cured.

Religion is medical. If a human society based on freedom can really be developed, then there is no need for religion. It is because we are sick that we need medicine. Because we are off-center, we need the method of returning to the center. It is possible to create a healthy society on Earth - healthy in the inner sense, then there will be no religion, but it seems difficult to create such a society. Little children have to be trained, and when you are training a little child, what are you doing?You are forcing something that is unnatural to him, you are demanding and demanding something that he cannot do spontaneously, you will punish him, you will reward him, you will bribe him , you will do everything to socialize him, to take him away from his natural being; you will create a new center in his mind that never existed, and this center will grow, and then that natural center is annihilated into unconsciousness.

Your natural center goes into the unconscious, into the darkness, and your unnatural center becomes your consciousness.In fact, there is no division between unconsciousness and consciousness, that division has been created.You are a consciousness.This separation occurs because your own center is pressed into some dark corner, and even if you are not in contact with it, society does not let you in contact with it, and you yourself become unaware that you have a center.Society, culture, and family teach you how to live, and you live accordingly. You are living a false life and to live this false life you need a false center, and that center is your ego, your conscious mind, and that is why, whatever you do, you never feel Joy, because only the true center can happen, only the true center can explode, reach the culmination and best possible state of joy.That false center is a game of shadows, you can play with it, you can use it to hope, but in the end, you will get nothing but frustration, with a false anxiety that things must will be so.

In a way, everything is forcing you not to be who you are, and saying it's wrong doesn't change the fact that society has its own needs.When a child is born he is like an animal -- spontaneous, centered, grounded in his own nature, but he is so independent, he cannot be part of an organization, he is disruptive, He has to be forced, brought up, changed, and in this upbringing he has to be pushed out of the centre. The part of us that lives around, we only live as far as society allows us, our freedom is false because the rules of that game, the rules of that social game are so deeply fixed that you may feel like you are choosing this or That, but you are not choosing, the choice comes from your educated mind, and this goes on in a mechanical way.

I think of a man who married eight women in his lifetime.He married a woman, then divorced, and then married another woman—very carefully, very, very carefully, so as not to fall into the old trap again, he calculated in every way, he thinks that now The woman will be completely different from the first one, but within a few days, even before the honeymoon period is over, the new woman begins to prove herself to be just the same as the old one, just like the first one, in six months. Within a month, that marriage broke up again, and he married a third woman again, more cautiously this time, but the same thing happened again.

He has been married to eight women, but every time the woman turns out to be the same as the old one, what happened?And he chose so carefully, what happened?The one who chooses is unconscious, he cannot change the one who chooses, the one who chooses is always the same, so the one who chooses will be the same, the one who chooses is working unconsciously. You keep doing this and that, you keep changing the outer things, but you remain the same, you remain off-center, and whatever you do, however different it may appear, eventually it will prove itself It is the same, the result is always the same, the result is always the same.

Whenever you feel that you are choosing, that you are free, that you are not free, that you are not choosing, that choice is also a mechanical thing, scientists say - especially biologists say that the mind will Being imprinted in a certain pattern, and that imprinted pattern happens very early in life, the second or third year after birth is when the pattern is imprinted, and then things are fixed in the mind, and then You just keep doing the same pattern, you keep repeating mechanically, you move in a vicious circle. A child is forced off center, he has to be trained, he has to learn obedience, that's why we place so much value on obedience, and obedience destroys everyone, because obedience means now you are not the center, someone else is the center, you just go follow him.

In order to survive, education is a necessity, but we use this survival need as an excuse for obedience, we force everyone to obey, what does it mean?To whom?There is always someone else -- father, mother, there is someone else and you have to obey him, why insist on obeying?For when your father was a child, he was forced to obey; when your mother was a child, she was also forced to obey; Little children do the same thing, and these little children will do the same thing to their next generation, and this vicious circle is going on. Freedom is stifled, and with freedom stifled you also lose your center, not that the center is destroyed, while you are alive it cannot be destroyed, if it is destroyed that is fine, You will be able to be more at ease with yourself, if you are totally false and there is no center of truth hidden in you, you will be at ease, there will be no conflict, no anxiety, no fight .The conflict arises because the real remains there, it remains in the center, and the unreal center is only created around the parts, and between these two centers there is a constant struggle, constant anxiety and Tension is created, this has to be changed, and this change can only be done in one way: the false has to disappear and the real has to be given place, you have to be re-grounded in your center, in your being, otherwise you will be in in excruciating pain.

The false can disappear, but the real cannot disappear unless you pass away.When you are alive, the real will be there, society can only do one thing: it can suppress it, it can create a block so that you become even unconscious of it, you can recall life Was that moment in which you were spontaneous?Can you recall a moment in your life when you are living in the present moment, are you living by yourself instead of following another person? I was reading the memoirs of a poet whose father died and his body was in a coffin, and the poet, the son was crying, and all of a sudden, he kissed the forehead of his dead father and said, "Since you are dead, I will To be able to do that, I've always wanted to kiss your forehead, but when you're alive, that's impossible, and I'm afraid of you."

You can only kiss a dead father, and even if a living father lets you kiss, that kiss will be false, it cannot be spontaneous, a young boy cannot even kiss his mother spontaneously , because the sexual fear is always there, even with the mother, the body cannot be too close, there is always fear and falsehood, there is no freedom, there is no spontaneity, and the real center is only when you are spontaneity, and It is free to function. Now you can understand my approach to the question: "In what way can the practice of remembering yourself change the mind?" It will re-ground you in your own center, it will re-root you in your own center.By remembering yourself you forget everything but yourself, society, the crazy world around you, family and relationships, everything you forget and just remember that you are.

This "remembering" is not given to you by society, this "remembering yourself" will detach you from everything around you, if you can remember, you will turn back to your own nature, back to your The center of yourself, the ego will just be around, but then you will be able to see it as if you were looking at anything else, you will be able to observe it, once you become able to observe your ego, observe your false Center, you will never be false again. You may also need your false center because you live in a false society, but then you will be able to use it and you will not identify with it, now it will be instrumental and you will rely on your Come live from the center, you will live in your center, you will be able to use that false as the convenience and habit of society, but you will not identify with it, now you know you can be spontaneous, you know you are free , "remembering yourself" can change you because it gives you the opportunity to be yourself again, and being yourself is the ultimate, being yourself is the absolute. The culmination of all possibility and all potential is "the divine" or whatever you want to call it, God is not somewhere in the past, it's your future, you've heard it said over and over again: God is the Father, more than that, it will be your Son, not the Father, because it will be developed by you, so I say, "God-Son" because the Father is in the past and the Son is in the future. You can become divine, divinity can be born of you, if you become your true self, you have taken the most fundamental step, you are already moving towards divinity, towards total freedom.As a slave, you cannot go there; as a slave, as a false human being, there is no path that will lead you towards "the divine", towards the ultimate possibility, towards the ultimate flowering of your being.First you have to be centered in yourself, "remembering yourself" can help, and remembering yourself alone can help, nothing else can change you, with a false center there will be no growth, There is only accumulation, and remember the difference between accumulation and growth.With a false center you can accumulate, you can accumulate wealth, you can accumulate knowledge, you can accumulate anything without growth, growth happens only in the true center, growth is not an accumulation, you are not burdened by growth , but accumulation is a burden. You can know many things and know nothing, you can know many things about love but you don't know love, then it is an accumulation, if you know love, then it is growth, you can Know a lot about love with a false center, but you can only love with a true center, and the true center matures, and the false one can only grow bigger and bigger without any growth, without any maturity, The false is just cancerous growth, just accumulation, like a disease, which makes you carry a burden. But you can do one thing, you can completely change your focus, your eyes can move from the false to the real.This is what it means to "remember yourself": whatever you are doing, remember yourself, remember "you are", don't forget it, that remembering will give a certainty to whatever you are doing. entity.If you are loving first remember you are, otherwise you will love from that false center, from that false center you can only pretend, you cannot love, if you are praying remember you first Yes (you exist), otherwise that prayer will be meaningless, just a deception; you are not deceiving anyone else, you are deceiving yourself. First remember that you are, and this remembering "I am" has to become so basic, like a shadow that follows you, and then even in sleep it enters and you remember.If you can remember it all day long, gradually it will even enter your dreams, enter your sleep, and you will know to say "I am". When one day even when you sleep you will be able to know that you are, you have grounded your center, now the false is gone, it is not a burden for you, now you can use It, it is instrumental, you are not its slave, you become the master. Krishna once said in the "Gita" (Gita): When everyone is sleeping, the yogi is not sleeping, he is awake. It does not mean that the yogi can live without sleep, Because sleep is a biological need, a physical need, it means "I am", it means that even when he sleeps he can remember "he is".Sleep is just around, and in the center, that "remember" is there. A yogi remembers even while sleeping, and you don't remember yourself even when you are awake.You are walking on the street, but you don't remember "you are", try it, you will feel some kind of quality change: try to remember "you are", suddenly a new lightness will come On you, the heaviness disappears, you become weightless, you are thrown out of the false center and back again into the real center, but it is difficult and laborious because we are so grounded in that false center. , so it will take time, but transformation is not possible if remembering yourself does not become effortless for you.You have to start remembering yourself, otherwise transformation is impossible. second question: Last night you said that one should always look at the positive aspects of life and not focus on the negative. Isn't that a choice?Isn't that a violation of being in the face of all reality - that is -? Its a choice, but a negative person cannot jump to no choice, if he can do that, that is fine, but that is impossible, from negative it is impossible to jump to no choice, because of the negative mind It means you can only see the ugly, you can only see death, you can only see misery, you cannot see any positive elements in life, remember, it is very difficult to let go of misery. It may sound strange when I say this, but it is difficult to jump out of misery, it is easier to jump out of happiness, it is easier to jump when you are happy, because happiness arises Courage; with joy, a higher possibility of joy opens; with joy, the whole world will seem like a home.With misery, the whole world is like a hell and there is no hope, everything is hopeless, then it is impossible for you to dance.In misery one becomes a coward, one clings to misery because at least this misery is known to you. You cannot take risks when you are not happy, and taking risks requires some subtle joy in you, then you can leave that which is known to you.You are so happy that you are not afraid of the unknown, happiness has become such a deep phenomenon for you that you know that wherever you go, you will be happy, with a positive mind, you Know that there is no hell, that wherever you are there will be heaven, and you can go into the unknown, because you know that heaven is moving within you. You've heard things like going to heaven or going to hell, it's absurd, no one goes to heaven, no one goes to hell, you carry your own hell or heaven with you, wherever you go you carry Enter with your hell or heaven, heaven and hell are not doors, they are burdens and you carry them with you. Only with a dancing heart - happy, blissful, positive, you can jump into the realm of no map, that's why I say, you can't go from negative to choiceless .You are attached to your misery, it is known to you, you are familiar with it, you are related to it.It's better to stay with the known misery than the unknown, at least you've gotten used to it, you've known its ways, you've created some sort of defense mechanism - an armor around you, It keeps you safe in the midst of misery.An unknown misery will require you to create new defense mechanisms, and it is better to be with a known misery than with an unknown misery. With happiness it becomes quite the opposite. With happiness one wants to go into the unknown happiness, because the known has become boring. You are never bored with the known misery, you will Enjoy it, watch people talk about their misery, they are enjoying it, they exaggerate their misery, they have a subtle joy. With joy you will be bored, you can go into the unknown, the unknown is tempting, to the unknown, no choice is a doorway, that is how one has to go: from negative to positive, from positive To no choice.First, make your mind positive, and from hell you can go to heaven, and from heaven you can go to Moksha -- to "the ultimate," which is neither heaven nor hell.Going from misery to joy, only then can you go to that which is beyond, which is beyond both, that's why the scriptures say, first change your mind from negative to positive, and then It's just a change of focus.Life is both, or neither, it is both, or neither!It depends on you, or how you look at it, you can look at it with a negative mind, then it looks like hell, but it is not hell!It's just your interpretation. Change your outlook, look positively, that's what theist attitude is.I don't call a person a theist or an atheist just because he believes in God or doesn't believe in God. If his attitude is positive, I call him a theist; if his attitude is negative, I call him a theist. Call him an atheist, the problem is not that he said "no" to God, the problem is that he said "no" to life.A theist is a person who says yes, and he sees from the mind of yes all the time, then everything changes completely. If a person with a negative mind comes to a rose garden, there are many roses there, but he will just count the thorns.For the negative mind the first thing is the thorns, only the thorns are meaningful, the flowers are illusion, only the thorns are real, he will count, of course, every flower has a thousand thorns Existence, once he has counted a thousand thorns, he cannot believe in a flower, he will say that this flower is an illusion, how can such a beautiful flower exist with such an ugly thorn, such a rough thorn Woolen cloth?That is impossible, that is unbelievable, and even if it exists it is meaningless. A thousand thorns are counted, so the flower disappears. A positive mind starts with the rose, with the flower, and once you have a deep communion with the rose, once you know its beauty, its life, its unearthly flowering, the thorns disappear.To one who knows the beauty of the rose, one who knows the highest possibility of the rose, one who looks into it, even thorns do not look like thorns; eyes full of roses are different, and with it, the thorns Looks like protection for flowers, they are not the enemy, they just look like part of the flower. Now the mind will know: These thorns are needed for the flower to take place, they are protective, because of the thorns the flower can take place.This positive mind will feel grateful even for thorns, and if this way deepens, a moment will come when the thorns will become flowers.In the first way, the flower disappears, or the flower even becomes a thorn.Only with a positive mind you can achieve a state of mind that is not tense. With a negative mind you will remain tense because there is so much misery around you. The delusional mind will continue to manifest misery upon misery, hell upon hell. In Buddha's time there was a really famous teacher, his name was Sanjaya Vilethiputta, he was an absolutely negative thinker, Buddha thought of seven hells; someone ran to Sanjaya Vilethiputta Veretipta told him that the Buddha said that there are seven hells, and Shanjaya Veretipta said: "Go and tell your Buddha that he doesn't understand anything. There are seven hundred hells. He knows everything." I don't understand! Only seven? There are seven hundred hells, and I've counted them all." If you have one negative mind, even seven hundred is not much, you will find more, it is endless.A positive mind cannot be tense. In fact, if you are positive, how can you be tense, and if you are negative, how can you not be tense?A negative mind cannot be combined with meditation. A negative mind is anti-meditation. It cannot meditate. One mosquito is enough to destroy all meditation. With a negative mind, it is necessary to achieve calmness, The door of stillness, of stillness is closed, and the negative mind perpetuates its own misery. How can it jump to no choice?J. Krishnamurti goes on talking about no choice, and those listeners are negative, they listen, but they never understand, and when they don't understand, Krishnamurti is troubled because they Don't know him, only positive mind can understand what he is saying, but a positive mind doesn't need to go anywhere, doesn't need to go to any Krishnamurti, doesn't need to go to any Osho, where There is no need to go, only negative minds will look for teachers or masters. To a negative mind it is pointless to talk about no choice, to talk beyond duality, to talk about living in both negative and positive, not that it is not true, it is true, but it is pointless.The listener has to be taken into account, he is more important than the speaker.From what I see, you are negative, first you need to change to positive, you have to go from saying "no" to saying "yes", you have to look at life with a "yes" attitude, with a A "yes" attitude and this earth is totally transformed, only when you achieve a positive attitude, you will be able to jump to no choice, and that will be easy, very easy! Misery cannot be dropped, it is difficult, you are attached to it, only happiness can be dropped, because you know that when you drop the negative you get the positive and a positive happiness.You drop the negative, and you get happiness, just by dropping the negative, you can achieve happiness, if you drop this happiness now, and drop this positive mind at the same time, you open up to "that Infinity" door, but you must first have a positive feeling, only then can you jump. Third question: In yesterday's final technique, you explained that in this "Mayer" world, the consciousness within the seeker is the only real center for him, and with that in mind, please explain the role of the Guru in Meaning in this Mayer world. The Mayer (illusion) world is not Mayer's world to you, it is very real, and the guru's role is to show you that it is not real.It is real to you, so how can you think it is not real?Only when you have glimpsed the real can you think of the unreal, because only then can you compare.The world is not Maye to you, you have heard, you have read that the world is Maye, and you may remember it like a parrot, so you also call this world illusion, there is a world called The man of illusion comes to me every day and he says, "My mind is very troubled, I am very tense, so tell me how to achieve peace of mind?" And this world is "an illusion", if this world is an illusion, you How can your mind be tense?If you know that the world is an illusion, the world disappears, and all its misery disappears with the world, but the mind remains.You do not know that this world is illusionary! In the morning, when sleep disappears, dreams disappear with them. Do you worry about dreams at this time?Do you worry about saying that you get sick or even die in your dreams?When the dream is going on, you are worried, you are uncomfortable, you are asking the doctor for a prescription, but in the morning, when you no longer sleep and the dream has disappeared, you are not worried, now you Knowing it's a dream and you're not sick, if someone comes to me and says, "I know my sickness is a dream, but now please tell me: where can I get the medicine for that sickness?" It shows what?It shows that he is still sleeping, it shows that he is still dreaming, the dream is still there. In India, the parrot-like saying that "this whole world is an illusion" has entered people's minds, but it stays in that false center, it is not a growth.We have heard the Upanishas, ​​the Vedas and some sages have been saying for centuries that this world is an illusion, and they promote that concept so strongly that those who sleep and dream think that They are awake, the whole world sleeps, but their misery manifests that this world is real, their anguish manifests that this world is real. The role of the guru is to give you a glimpse of what is real, it is not a teaching, it is an awakening, the guru is not a teacher, the guru is an awakener, he does not give you dogmas, if he gives you dogmas, he is a philosopher , if he talks about the world, says it is illusory, and argues and proves that the world is illusory, if he discusses, argues, if he gives you dogma intellectually, then he is not a guru, he is Not a master, he may be a teacher, a teacher of a certain doctrine, but he is not a master, not a guru. A guru is not a giver of dogmas, he is a giver of methods, he gives you methods that will help you to come out of your sleep, that's why a guru is always a person who disturbs your dreams.It is not easy to live with a guru, it is very easy to live with a teacher, because he never bothers you, on the contrary, he will continue to increase your accumulation of knowledge, and he will help you to become more of yourself He will make you more learned, your ego will be more satisfied, now you know more, you can argue more, you can teach yourself.But the master is always a disturber, he will disturb your dream and your sleep, and you may be having a very beautiful dream, you may be taking a trip, a beautiful trip, but he will disturb it, and you will be angry. The guru is always in danger from the disciples, any moment they may kill him, because he will disturb, his work is like that, as you are now, he cannot help you to be yourself, because you is false, he has to destroy your false identity, and that is painful, that's why -- unless there is very deep love -- that work is not possible.A very deep intimacy is needed, otherwise there will be hatred. So a guru cannot bring you close to him. Unless you have surrendered, you will become an enemy. A guru can only work when you have surrendered completely. Because that is a spiritual surgery. The disciple will suffer a lot out of need, and if he is not in a deep intimacy with the guru, that is impossible, he will not be ready to suffer so much; he has come to find joy , and the master gave him pain; he came to feel happiness, and the master created a hell for him.In the beginning, hell will be there, because your imagination will be shattered, your expectations will be shattered.Whatever you have known, you have to drop it, whatever you are, he will destroy it, in fact, you are experiencing death. In ancient India we said a guru or guru was a dead man, and he was!Unless you trust Him completely, this surgery will not be possible, because in the beginning there will be suffering, your anguish will surface, all your repressed hell will be revealed, and only When you believe, only when you have deep faith and trust in him, you will be able to be with him, otherwise you will run away because he disturbs you completely. So, remember, the work of the guru is, his role is to make you aware of your falsehood, and because of your false center your world becomes false.The world is not really illusory, it is not maye, it is maye because your eyes are illusory, your eyes are full of dreams, you project your dreams everywhere and the real existence is falsified.When your eyes are real, this same world will become real, and when that false center is broken and you are rooted again into your true center, into your being, this world will become nirvana . Zen masters go on and on saying that this world is nirvana, this world is moksha (liberation), it's just a question of your vision.With a false eye everything is false, with a true eye everything is real, your false entity creates a false world around you, don't think that you are all living in In the same world, you can't do this!Everyone lives in his own world, there are as many worlds as there are minds, because each mind creates its own world, its own environment, even if you live in the same family and the husband lives in His own world, and the wife lived in her own world, and the two worlds collided with each other every day, they never met, they collided -- meeting was impossible. With the mind there is no meeting, only collision and conflict. When the mind is not there there is a meeting possible.The wife lives in her own world, living in her own expectations, the husband is not the real husband to her, he is only her own imagination; the husband lives in his own world, the real wife is not his Madame, he had a madam's imagination.Whenever the wife falls short of his imagination, there is a struggle, conflict, anger and hatred, he loves the wife of his own imagination and the wife loves the husband of her own imagination, both are illusions, they does not exist.The real wife is there and the real husband is there, but they cannot meet because between these two real people there is the unreal wife and the unreal husband, they are always there, they don't let Real people meet. 每一个人都生活在他自己的世界里，生活在他自己的梦、期望和投射里，有多少个头脑就有多少个世界，那些世界是幻象的、是马耶。当你不真实的中心消失，整个世界就改观了，那么它就是一个真实的世界，那么，你首度地就东西本然的样子来看它，那么就没有悲惨，因为期望会随着幻象而消失。带着真实的存在就不可能有悲惨，那么一个人就会感觉："它是如此！事实就是事实！"唯有带着虚构的东西才会有问题，虚构之物永远不让你知道事实，这些头脑的虚构之物就是马耶。 宗师的角色就是去粉碎这些虚构之物，好让你可以看到事实，而事实也可以进入你，那个事实就是真理，一旦你知道了那个"事实"，即使宗师也会变得不一样。如果现在你去到一个宗师那里，你是带着你自己对他的想象而去。有一个人来到我这里，他带着他自己对我的想象而来，然后，如果我没有按照他的想象，他就觉得很难过，但是我怎么能够按照他的想象呢？如果我试着去按照每一个人的想象，我将会弄得一团糟，每一个弟子都认为我应该按照这样或那样。他有他自己对宗师的概念，如果我没有满足他的观念，他就感到挫折，但是事情本来就是会这样，一个弟子带着一个头脑来，这就是问题之所在，我必须改变他的头脑、摧毁他的头脑。他带着一个头脑来，而他用他的头脑来看我。 我去到一个人家，那个家庭是信奉耆那教的，所以他们在晚上不吃东西，那个家庭的老人——祖父——非常喜欢我的书，他从来没有看过我，爱书是容易的，书是死的东西。他来会见我，他已经很老了，对他来讲，甚至要走出他自己的房间都很困难，他已经九十二岁，而他来会见我，我告诉他，我要到他的房间去，但是他说："不！我非常尊敬你，所以我要来。"因此他就来了，他非常赞美我。 他说："你就好像一个耆那教的大师，就好像耆那教神话里面地位最高的马哈维亚。"在耆那教里面，最伟大的老师被称为提尔山克（Teerthanker），所以他说："你就像一个提尔山克。"他一直在赞美我、又赞美我。到了晚上，黑夜降临，屋子里有一个人来说："现在已经晚了，来吃晚餐。"所以我说："为了这个老人，我们等一下，让他说完，然后我就来。"那个老人说："你在说什么？你要在晚上吃东西吗？"我说："我没有关系。"所以他说："我要收回我的话，你不是提尔山克，一个不知道在晚上吃东西是最大的罪恶的人，他还知道些什么呢？" 如此一来，这个人已经无法跟我有任何会合，不可能！如果我不在晚上吃东西，我是一个提尔山克，一个伟大的师父。我还没有吃，我只是说我会在晚上吃，突然间我就不再是一个提尔山克，那个老人告诉我："我是来向你学习的，但是现在那是不可能的，现在我觉得我必须教你一些东西。" 当这个世界变成一个幻象，你的宗师也将是它的一部分，他将会消失，那就是为什么，当弟子醒悟，就没有宗师，这看起来是似非而是的，当弟子真正醒悟，就没有宗师。有一些萨拉哈（Saraha：佛教神秘家）优美的歌曲，每一首歌的结尾都是："萨拉哈消失了。"他教了一些东西，他给予一些教导，他说："世界不是，涅槃也不是，不是好，也不是坏，要超越，萨拉哈消失了。"它一直都是一个谜，为什么萨拉哈一直在说："萨拉哈消失了？" 如果你真正达到歌曲中所描述的，达到任何他所说的："没有好，也没有坏，既不是世界，也不是涅槃"，如果弟子真正能够悟到这个，萨拉哈将会消失，宗师将会在哪里呢？宗师是弟子世界的一部分，等到你醒悟，就没有如宗师和弟子般的实体，他们已经成为一体。当门徒醒悟，他就变成宗师，萨拉哈就消失了，那么宗师就不再在那里，即使宗师也是你梦的一部分，也是属于你幻象的世界，但是因为如此而有很多问题产生。 克利虚纳姆提继续在说没有老师，而他是对的，这是最终的真理。当你醒悟，你就是老师，没有其他的老师，但这是最终的真理，在这个发生之前，老师是存在的，因为弟子存在。弟子创造出老师，那是弟子的需要。 所以，要记住这一点：如果你碰到一个错误的老师，那是你应得的，所以你才会碰到一个错误的老师。一个错误的学生无法碰到一个正确的老师，你创造你的老师、你的师父。是一个渺小的老师，或是一个伟大的老师，那要依你而定，你将会碰到你应得的人，如果你碰到一个错误的人，那是因为你的缘故，你要为它负责任，而不是那个错误的人要负责任。宗师也是你头脑的一部分，它是梦幻世界的一部分，但是除非你醒悟，你将需要某人来打扰你、来帮助你。如果某人给你方法，那么他是一个宗师。如果他只是给你教条、原则、教导，那么他只是一个老师，但是你或许现在需要他。 以这样的方式来思考它：即使在一个梦里，也有某些东西能够帮助你走出梦境，当你正在掉进睡眠的时候，你可以试试看，继续在你的头脑里重复："每当有一个梦，我的眼睛将会张开。"正当在你掉进睡眠的时候，继续重复这句话，按照这样做三个星期："每当有一个梦，我的眼睛将会打开，突然间，我将会醒来。"你将会醒来，即使是从一个梦，你也能够藉着某种方法而醒来。正当要掉进睡眠的时候，告诉你自己——如果你的名字是南无，说："南无，早上五点钟醒来。"重复念两次，然后静静地进入睡眠，迟早你将会学到那个窍门。刚好在五点钟，某人将会叫醒你，即使在梦中，即使在睡觉当中，会叫醒你的方法也可以被使用。对于你目前灵性的睡觉，情形也是一样。 师父能够给你一些对这个有帮助的方法，然后，每当你正要掉进一个梦里，那些方法将不会让你掉进去，或者每当你已经掉进一个梦里，突然间你将会被唤醒，当这个唤醒对你来讲变成自然，就不需要有宗师，当你已经醒悟，宗师就消失了，但你还是会感激宗师，因为他曾经帮助过你。 舍利子是佛陀最伟大的弟子之一，他本身成道、成佛，然后佛陀告诉他："现在你可以走了，现在我的存在对你来讲已经不需要了，你自己本身已经变成一个大师，所以，你可以离开我去帮助别人走出他们的睡觉。" 当舍利子离开佛陀的时候，他向佛陀行顶礼，有人问舍利子："你自己已经成道，为什么还要向佛陀行顶礼？"舍利子说："现在已经不需要再向他行顶礼，但是能够这样是因为他的缘故。" 舍利子离开了佛陀，但是早上的时候，不论佛陀在什么地方，他一定会朝向佛陀的方向俯卧，傍晚，他也一定会俯卧。大家都会问："你在做什么？你在向谁俯卧？"因为佛陀离得很远，在几百里之外。他会回答："我在向我的师父俯卧，他现在已经消失了，现在我自己是一个宗师，但是在他之前，那是不可能的。它之所以变得可能是因为他的缘故。"所以，即使当老师消失，当宗师消失，弟子将会感到一个深深的感激，将会感到可能的最大的感激。 当你在睡觉（灵性在睡觉）的时候有一个人来打扰你是有需要的，臣服的意思就是你让某人这样做。如果你说："好，我让你来打扰我。"那就是臣服的意思，那是一个信任。信任意味着：现在如果这个人引导你朝向悲惨，你也准备好要这样做，你不会再对他有任何疑问。不论他引导你到那里，你都信任他。他不会伤害你。如果你不信任，那么就不可能有进步，因为你觉得他会伤害你，你以你自己的想法觉得他会以很多方式来伤害你，而如果你认为："我要保护我自己。"那么就不可能有进一步的工作，如果你不信任你的外科医生，你将不会让他使你变得无意识，你不知道他要做什么，你会说："帮我手术，但是让我保持意识，好让我能够看到你在做什么，我不能够信任你。" 你信任你的外科医生，他使你变得无意识，因为在你有意识的状态下，外科手术无法进行，你的意识会干扰。所以，信任是盲目的，它意味着你甚至准备好要变成无意识的、要变成盲目的。不论他引导你去哪里，你都准备好要去跟随他，唯有如此，一个深的、内在的手术才有可能，它不仅是一个身体的、生理的手术，它是心理的。你会感觉到很多痛苦，你会感觉到很多身心极度的痛苦，因为需要有郁积的倾泻，而你必须被丢回你自己的中心，那个中心你已经完全忘记，你必须再度被拉回你的根，那个根你已经离得很远。 这是费力而困难的，甚至要花上好几年的时间，但是如果一个人准备好要去臣服，他甚至能够在几秒钟之内发生，他依臣服的强度而定。不必要的时间被浪费了，因为宗师必须慢慢进行，慢慢地，好让你准备好去信任更多，他必须做很多不必要的事情，只是为了要让你产生信任，只是为了要动外科手术，他必须不必要地创造出很多事情，那些事本来是可以不要的，不需要浪费时间和精神在那些事上面，而之所以要这样做，只是为了要让你产生信任。 我引用萨拉哈的话，萨拉哈是八十四个成道的佛教神秘家之一，萨拉哈告诉那些已经成为大师的弟子们："要以别人能够信任你们的方式来躬行，我知道现在你们已经不需要道德律，我知道现在你们已经不需要规则，你们已经超越了，你们能够做任何你们喜欢做的，你们能够成为任何你们喜欢的，现在，对你们而言，没有任何系统，也没有任何道德律存在，但是要以弟子们能够信任你们的方式来躬行。"所以，伟大的大师以社会允许的方式来躬行，并不是因为他们需要以那种方式来躬行，它只是为了要产生别人的信任，否则是不必要的，所以，如果马哈维亚以耆那教教徒所订的模式来躬行，那并不是因为有任何内在的必要，他之所以这样做只是为了耆那教教徒能够跟随他而变成他的弟子，只是为了要让他们能够信任。 所以每当一个老师以一种新的方式来躬行，就有很多问题会产生，耶稣以一种新的、不为犹太圈所知的方式来躬行，那并没有什么不对，但是却变成了难题。犹太人不能够信任他，他们古时候的大师以不同的方式来躬行，而这个人的行为是不一样的，他并没有遵照游戏规则，所以他们不能够信任他，因此，他们必须将他钉在十字架上。 耶稣为什么要以这样的方式来躬行呢？那是因为有印度在它的背后。在他出现在耶路撒冷之前，他有很多年在印度，他在一个佛教的僧院里接受教导，他试着在没有佛教的社会遵循佛教的规则，在犹太人的圈子里，他的行为就好像他生活在佛教的圈子里一样，那产生了整个难题，他被杀害了，由于被误解，他被谋杀了，而原因只是在于：犹太人不能够信任他。 一个老师、一个宗师不必要地在他的周围创造出很多事情，做很多事情，只是为了要产生信任，但是即使如此也会有问题产生，因为每一个来的人都有他自己的期望："宗师必须像这个，或是像那个。" 臣服意味着你舍弃了你的期望，你让宗师成为他本然的样子，你让他做任何他想要做的，即使带来痛苦，你也准备好要去接受，即使他引导你朝向死亡，你也准备好要去接受，因为到了最后，他将会引导你到一个深的死亡，而唯有在经过了深的死亡之后，才可能重生，唯有当你古老的认同被钉死在十字架上，复活才有可能。
