WORDS FROM AN ENLIGHTENED BEING🔗

Nothing else is needed

Try to spend your energy and time only reading the books of enlightened beings. Do not read or listen to the words of unenlightened beings - these so called personality development books etc. I always tell people: your inner chattering is completely corrupted. Too much virus! Clear it! Do the reformatting by constantly listening to words of enlightened Masters and reading their books. Even in the car, try to constantly play some discourse so that your inner chattering will be towards nivritti, not pravritti. Understand: these personality development guys, even though they are giving some solution, it is again pravritti - means moving towards the other person. Only an enlightened Master's words are towards nivritti - towards your Self.

The Vedic traditions - the consciousness based education systems, teach you to expand your umbrella so that you and the whole world can be under it. But the logic based education system teaches to bring the whole world under your umbrella and makes the world small. That is why constantly you analyze and create divisions. Any specializations - trying to bring things under your control, under your logic, naturally makes things smaller and smaller. Constantly you are taught to bring things under your control. But the Zen koans do the opposite work. They tire your logic! Your logic will be completely tired and suddenly you will create a space. You will allow the consciousness to open and the relaxation to happen...that moment you suddenly realize... the click happens!

Be alive!

In primitive villages, they don't have any phobias. I was shocked to hear about phobias which I came to know first only when I started traveling in developed countries. I have never heard about phobias.

Phobia means nothing but holding on to our body tightly because we do not want our body to move into a space which we have not already experienced. We want everything to be clear. We want definite project plans as to where we are going, what will be happening next, what will be the third step, what will be the fourth step, etc. If in some space, even if one puzzle does not fit or feel good, then we don't feel comfortable in that space. We want everything to be clear before entering. We are not ready to allow God's hands in our lives. We want everything to be clear according to our own intellect.

I always tell people: do not plan completely. Give a little of your space for God. Let him also plan a little bit for us. If we plan everything perfectly according to our intellect, we may not commit mistakes but instead we may commit blunders. The whole intelligence of the cosmos is surely a little more intelligent than our intelligence. So once in a while, not planning completely logically is good. Once in a while we should allow ourselves to be a little liquid. Entering into a space where there is a little risk and being spontaneous, is good. It keeps us alive. It keeps the space and the energy in us active. If we are living with a clearly planned system, be very clear, we are already dead, because we have no opportunity to do anything new.
