Chapter 9 Section VIII

※※※ We usually think that intellectuals are smart people, but that is wrong.Intellectuals live only in dead words.True intellect does not do this, true intellect throws away the word -- that is the corpse -- and takes only its living pulse. The way of the wise is the way of the heart, because the heart is not interested in words, it is only interested in the life-sap contained in words.It doesn't collect containers, it just drinks the life juice inside and throws the containers away. ※※※ For me, a religious man is not a man who transcends nature, but a man who is completely natural, who has explored all the dimensions of nature, leaving nothing unexplored.

※※※ One has to live a natural life to achieve a natural death.Natural death is the culmination of life, the culmination of living naturally, without any restraint, without any repression -- just like the way of life of animals, like the way of life of birds, without any division, a kind of total letting go. Open up and let nature flow through your life without any hindrance on your part, as if you were absent and life itself flows by itself. Not that you live, but life lives you, you are secondary, and then the apex will be a natural death. Death will reflect the ultimate culmination - the culmination of your entire life, which encompasses in one condensed form everything you have ever lived.

So only a very small number of people in the world can die naturally, because only a very small number of people are living naturally. ※※※ We all fear death because we know we are going to die and we don't want to die.We want to close our eyes, we want to live in a state where everyone else will die, but I will not die.This is everyone's normal psychology: I will not die. Talking about death is taboo and people get scared because it reminds them of their own mortality.They also care deeply about little things, but death is near, and they want those little things to keep them busy.Being busy gives them the feeling that they are going to die, but at least not now, but later.When it will happen, we will wait and see.

If you accept life completely, you accept death at the same time; death is just a rest. You have been working all day, and at night do you want to rest?Daily sleep rejuvenates you, enables you to function better again, and restores you to productivity again.All tiredness disappears and you become young again. Death does the same thing on a deeper level, it changes the whole body, because now the body cannot rejuvenate just by sleeping normally, it is too old, it needs a more drastic change, it A new body is needed.Your life energy needs a new form and death is nothing but a sleep so that you can easily move into a new form.

※※※ A man who lives with fear is always trembling inside, he is always on the verge of madness, because life is so vast, and if you are always fearing, there is so much fear. You can make a big list and you'll be amazed at how many fears you have and how much you're still alive!There are many infectious diseases everywhere, many kinds of diseases, many kinds of dangers, there are kidnappers, there are terrorists, and we only have such a small life.At the end there will be death, it is inevitable, and your whole life will be darkened. Let go of fear.That fear was formed in your unconscious state when you were a child. Now you have to consciously discard it and become mature, and then life can become a light.As you continue to grow, it continues to deepen.

※※※ Responsibility is not a game, it is one of the most authentic ways of life, and it is also dangerous. ※※※ To me, disobedience is a revolution. It doesn't mean saying no to every situation. on your own shoulders. ※※※ Unless you know the truth of your existence, you will never feel the great blessings of life, you will never be able to brim with joy at the mere fact of being. If you cannot experience truth, you will not be able to connect yourself to this vast universe - which is your home.It gave birth to you, it has a great expectation of you, it expects you to grow to the ultimate peak of consciousness, because existence can only become conscious through you, no other way.

※※※ Intelligence is thinking, but consciousness has to be found in a state of non-thinking. You have to become completely silent. Even a thought moving is a disturbance.In that stillness you can discover your true nature, which is as vast as the sky, and if you can know it then you have indeed known something very valuable, otherwise all your knowledge is rubbish. Your knowledge may be useful, it may be practical, but it will not help you transform your being, it will not lead you to ultimate realization, it will not lead you to fulfillment, it will not lead you to enlightenment, it will not lead you to The point where you can say "I've come home".

※※※ There is no other home unless you find it in you ※※※ Giving love is a very real, beautiful experience, because then you become a king; receiving love is a small experience, it is just a beggar's experience. Don't be a beggar at least as far as love has to be a king, for love is an inexhaustible quality within you, you can give as much as you want, don't worry that it will run out, don't worry that one day you will Suddenly realized: "My God! I have no more love to give." Love is not a quantity, it is a quality, and the quality of love grows when you give it, and dies if you hold on to it.If you are mean to it, it will die.So for love, be a real spendthrift!Don't worry about who your object is.It's a really mean-spirited notion to think that I only have to give love to certain people who have certain qualities.

You don't know that you have so much, you are a cloud with rain, and a cloud with rain doesn't worry about where it will rain.It does not matter whether it is on a rock, in a garden, in an ocean, it just wants to be unburdened of itself, and that unburdening is a great relief. So the first secret is: don't ask for love.Don't wait, don't try to say that you will only give if you are asked -- just give! ※※※ One of the most basic things to remember is that when you feel good, when you are in a state of ecstasy, don't think that it will become your permanent state. Live that moment joyfully, live that moment as joyfully as you can, and at the same time know very well that for now it comes, but it will go, like a breeze blowing into your house, taking all of its fragrance and freshness, and then ran out through another door.

When you start trying to make your moments of ecstasy permanent, you start destroying them.When they come, you have to be grateful; when they go, you have to be grateful for existence.Keep your heart open, it will happen many times, don't judge it, don't choose, remain choiceless. Yes, there are moments when you feel miserable, but so what?There are some people who live in misery all the time, and they don't even know a single moment of ecstasy, and you're lucky. Even in the midst of pain, you have to remember that it's not forever, it will pass, so don't be overly disturbed by it, and remain poised.Just like day and night, there are moments of joy and moments of sadness in life. "Nature" is both, and you accept both as part of nature, and you accept them as the way things are.

You are just a watcher, neither you are happy nor you are miserable. Pleasure comes and goes, pain comes and goes, one thing remains there, always and always there -- that is the seer, that is the witness. ※※※ Meditation considers the main core of your being, which cannot be divided into masculine and feminine. Awareness is awareness. A mirror is a mirror, it is neither masculine nor feminine, it simply reflects indiscriminately all that comes before it.Consciousness just happens to be like a mirror, it is just reflecting. Meditation makes your mirror reflect, it just reflects the mind in action and the body in action, it doesn't care if the body is male or female, it doesn't care how the mind is working, whether it's very emotional or very emotional. Logic is working. Whatever the situation is, consciousness is simply alert to it. That alertness, that awareness is meditation. ※※※ Slowly, slowly, you will become more and more centered in that watcher.Day will come, and night will come; life will come, and death will come; Success will come, failure will come, but if you are at the center of the seer -- because that is the only real being in you -- then everything is just a passing phenomenon. Just try to feel what I'm saying: just be a watcher, don't cling to any moment because it's particularly beautiful, don't push away any moment because it's particularly painful.stop doing this.You have been doing that for several lifetimes, but so far you have not succeeded, and you will never succeed. The only way to go beyond is to remain in a transcendent place, to find a place from which you can watch all these changing phenomena without identifying with them. ※※※ Experience comes and goes, don't depend on it, unless you find the experiencer who feels the joy, unless you find the experiencer who feels the pain, who feels the happiness, who feels the sorrow, that experiencer is consciousness. You have to make every effort to reach this innermost eye of the typhoon. Your whole life is a typhoon of many changes, a typhoon of changing scenery and changing colors, but in the center of that typhoon, there is a peaceful place. The center, the center is you. Once you identify with certain concepts, you are sick. All identification is a psychological disease. In fact, the mind is your disease. Putting the mind aside, just silently looking into what is, without any thought, without any prejudice, that is a healthy way of becoming acquainted with what is, and in this way you will find a totally different real existence. Finding "that which is true" will save you from a lot of stupidity, from a lot of superstition, and it will cleanse you of all kinds of rubbish that has been dumped on you for so many lifetimes.Disease goes on from generation to generation, you inherit the whole past with all kinds of stupid concepts, if it weren't for that there would be no distinction, no comparison. Once you are free from comparison and distinction, you are light, your whole being is light, you lose all weight, you become so light that you can fly. ※※※ Everything goes through, but you stay, you are the real being.Everything is just a dream, maybe some are good dreams and some are bad dreams, but whether it is a good dream or a bad dream, what matters is the person who sees those dreams. The one who sees is the only real being. The seer is something absolutely eternal. As soon as you can catch a glimpse of it, all your problems will start to disappear because a whole new perspective will arise, a new perspective, a new way of life, a new way of seeing things and seeing people A new way of responding to situations will arise. The "watcher" is there twenty-four hours a day, no matter what you are doing or not doing, it is always there.It's been there for countless centuries, it's always been there, waiting for you to notice it.Maybe because it's always been there, you forget about it.The obvious is always forgotten - you need to remember it. When you have a sense of well-being, you remember it. Remember it when you are in misery and in agony of mind and body. Under various atmospheres, under various moods, you have to keep remembering it, and soon you will be able to stay centered on it, then you don’t need to remember it anymore, that is the most important thing in a person’s life. great day.
