There is one who is looking out for you. There is one who is guiding you, directing you to your ultimate victory. That one is the Self. It is you.

The body is not yourself. The mind is not yourself. They're only temporary conditionings. They're there for a while then they're gone. Like bubbles on the ocean. Bubbles come bubbles go every second. Yet the ocean always remains the same. And so it is with life on this planet. People come, people go, things come, things go everything changes, changes, changes but you are the ocean of bliss. You have absolutely nothing to do with these changes whatsoever.

Know yourself for who you are. Never put yourself down. Never compare yourself with anyone else. Never be judgmental. Learn to leave everything alone. Do not come to a conclusion about anything. There is no ultimate answer. Do not search for reality. Do not search for answers. You will be searching for eternity”

“ Understand that you are the light. The light is you, the Self. The imperishable Brahman. The ultimate reality, nirvana. The I-am that I-am, that is the nature of this golden light.

See all the images disappearing and only the light remains. Feel this light as yourself. You are filled with joy, filled with bliss, with happiness. You are now the true Self and there are no others. Feel this deeply. Feel this bliss, this love, this joy, pulsating within, without you.”

Notes: colour of light may vary.

“ Go within your heart right now. Dive deep within the heart centre and lose yourself entirely. The spiritual heart centre is on the right side of the chest. See a sphere of golden light in the heart center, a sphere of beautiful golden light, throbbing. See this globe of white light, golden light expanding, expanding throughout the whole universe. Where all of the planets, galaxies, everything are super- impositions on this golden globe of light. Everything is an image on this light. Like the image on the screen. This light is like boundless space. It accommodates the whole universe. Everything is in this light. Nothing is left out.”

Who is the imaginer so imagining?
What is the trajectory of the imagination?
Does it have roots in desire or memory or any form of mind-body association?

The point being that if we be formless awareness in occupation of the mind-body vehicle as an earth life interface, the entire exercise is not about any doing but simply reconnecting our in-form consciousness with formless awareness, both us, both one. Delusion may be defined as amnesia of our consciousness awareness forgetting its pristine Divine essence.

So any imagination ... does it not have within it, thought based anticipation?

Thanks for replying. I agree, that the imagination comes from the Other. We'll have to do though to put it into action though won't we.

Limited to a universe. In other words you have created your own jail, your own cell. Yet what are we to do? How do we free ourselves?

We free ourselves by not freeing ourselves. When you try to do something to be free you're merely adding on to what you know already. To be free you have to become silent, quiet, peaceful. You have to have compassion, loving kindness. To be free one must give up all of their doubts, their fears, their dogmas, everything. One has to surrender totally and completely, total surrender if you would be free.

Surrender to whom?

If you are a bhakta you would surrender to your guru, to a deity of your choice. If you were a christian you would surrender to jesus. If you were a buddhist you would surrender to Buddha. If you were of the jewish persuasion you would surrender to abraham or moses. If you were a hindu you would surrender to Krishna or Shiva or anyone of a thousand deities. Surrender purifies the mind, removes the impurities and ultimately sets you free.”

This is an excellent post and I agree with it completely. Many people do not understand the real value of bhakti

I know! Right?! :laughing6:


Interesting the transcribers of his sat sangs, (not Robert), only capitalized Buddha and Krishna and Shiva?
Why not Jewish or Jesus or Abraham? Rhetorical.

You are right ... never noticed. Probably oversight.

“ There is one very important way in which to alleviate all problems, alleviate all error, alleviate all ignorance and find your true Self. And that way is to love yourself. To really love yourself. It sounds easy but try it it's not easy to totally and completely love yourself just the way you are. When you begin to love yourself this way you automatically rise to a higher state of consciousness. For you're loving the Self when you love yourself. You are really loving the one Self which is omnipresent and all-pervading. Therefore when you love yourself you love everything that exists. Nothing is left out of that love. Nothing. And this is what raises your consciousness. This is what transforms you. Forget about being enlightened, awakening. That will take care of itself.”
