THERE IS NO BOUNDARY

This text was machine-transcribed from the printed book and may contain errors. Select the words and choose “Report a mistake”.

Actually to even use two different words—soul and Supreme Soul, ātma and parmātma—is not correct. There are no two separate entities called soul and Supreme Soul. There is only soul. There is only one. Everything in this Universe has the Supreme Soul. Our mind draws boundaries.

Our mind knows that if it opens the lid, the soul and the Supreme Soul will become one. Our mind knows that the soul in this body and the Supreme Soul are one and the same; there is no difference between the two. So our mind fears that if it opens the lid, our whole identity will be lost and we will become the same as everyone else. Our mind does not want this to happen.

So we continuously hold onto our individual ego. Only when we realize that we are all connected, that everything in this universe is the same universal consciousness, will we break open the container and merge with the Supreme Soul.

Here Kṛṣṇa ends by saying, 'If we can witness as pure consciousness, we will be liberated from the bondages of the body-mind and achieve the eternal consciousness.' Kṛṣṇa gives a technique to realize the eternal consciousness.

WITNESS AND BE

LIBERATED

Becoming the witness of the
kṣetra is the only way to keep
us away from the bondages of
the body-mind. We must
witness as the kṣetrajña,
consciousness. When we do
that we will see the separation
of the Self from the body and
mind.

When we witness these
movements happening in our
system, we separate ourselves
from the body-mind system.
When we watch them like
clouds in the sky, when we
watch them like a movie on a
screen, without getting
attached, we see the truth.

The Cosmos functions with a mutual law, dharma of—‘don't give onto others what should not be given to you. If you don't give to others what should not be given to you, what should not be given to you, will not be given to you by others.’ It is a cosmic law of life.

Please internalize! When you don't have fear of thinking, thinking will not give fear to you. Both of you, you and your thinking, you and your body and mind, come to a peace agreement—‘till today, we had war. Let us stop the war. Let us come to an agreement. I will not be afraid of you and you don't be afraid of me.’ This agreement is what I call as Integrity. You not having fear of thinking and thinking not having fear of you, this agreement is Integrity.

Witness the mind like a friend with integrity. Let whatever is inside come out with friendliness. There's nothing wrong. Neither support nor suppress. If we support, we will go after the garbage. If we suppress, we will end up analyzing the garbage and pushing it aside. Neither approach is going to work. Just witness and be complete.

Witnessing acts like fire. All the thoughts are burned away and what remains is the pure space of completion. Understand, neither suppressing nor supporting your thoughts will work. Only witnessing with integrity works.

When we go deep into our being, into our space of completion, the witnessing consciousness automatically creates intelligence. Understand that we don't need to be in that space all twenty-four hours of each day. Even if we get a few glimpses, that is enough. That energy will guide our whole life. If we understand the silence that happens to us when we are witnessing, even for a few seconds, we will taste it and start acting on it. Only out of these few moments does the energy of great creation and achievement happen.

When we do completion, creation simply happens. Enriching will just be our lifestyle. When we are in the space of completion, we will simply create and enrich everyone. All great things are achieved from the consciousness and intuition that is beyond the body-mind. They are products of the witnessing consciousness. This is true not only in the field of science but in arts, spirituality or any field.

When we are beyond the body and
mind, we bring the maximum powers
out of our being. We start expressing
the power of words through integrity,
the power of thinking through
authenticity, and ultimately the
powers of feeling and living through
responsibility and enriching.

The ultimate expression of our being
happens when we are Whole.
Whenever we are whole, we are holy.
Understand that witnessing
consciousness or being in the space of
completion is the only path to
Wholeness or Holiness.
