Deeper Insights into Suffering🔗

In every situation in life, you have a choice. You can either pick up life, or you can pick up suffering. Either you pick up life and choose to live, or you pick up the lie called suffering. Even if you pick up pain and suffering, you are picking up something that is not real. I tell you honestly, I am interested in you not picking up lies. Pain is a lie. When you pick up pain, you really pick up a lie. That is why I am saying, don’t pick up pain.

One more thing: when you pick up pain, you will go on giving pain to others. When you say you have a headache, it means that you are going to be a headache to others! It means that you are going to give headaches to others. That’s what it means.

So find out what your mind really means. Fool! It is just putting you in suffering. I tell you, anything can be sacrificed for life. You should never sacrifice anything for a joyful life. It’s the basic law.

Krishna says very beautifully - Anything you sacrifice for me, you will have me and also what you sacrificed. If you sacrifice me for anything, not only you will not have me, you will not have that either.

I also say the same thing. Whoever has sacrificed me for anything, not only will they not have me, they will not have that also. Whoever has sacrificed anything for me, not only will they have me, they will have that also. That’s all. It is the truth. It is the ultimate truth!

Anything you sacrifice for life, you will see that life is there, so beautifully. A strong, clear, understanding about life will happen. So when your mind says, it is protecting you, it means it is putting you in suffering. That is what it means.

Today I am explaining an important process. Consciousness is lighter than anything in Nature. It is lighter than even ether. So it always levitates. It pulls you up. Matter, earth, continuously pulls you down. Levitation and gravitation and are both constantly happening in your body, in your nervous system. The friction between gravitation and levitation is thoughts. Thoughts are nothing but the friction between the levitation and gravitation that is constantly happening in your nervous system.

Suffering happens because of the levitation and gravitation both happening in your system. Means chit and jata, consciousness and matter, both pulling you this side and that side in your nervous system.

If that friction is felt in the muladhara chakra (at the base of the spine) there is too much gravity and your thoughts are gross. If the friction is felt a little higher, in the swadishtana chakra (below the navel), it means that there are fewer thoughts, but even then, it is not subtle; it is at the gross level only. If the friction is felt in the manipuraka chakra (navel center), you are a little more pure, which means less thoughts. If the friction is felt in the anahata chakra (heart center), then you have even fewer thoughts. Therefore where the friction is felt in your system, for the majority of the time, plays a major role in your mental set-up.

Space always pulls you up, while time pulls you down.

When I say space, I mean your inner space, your psychological space, which is nothing but pure Consciousness. When I say time, I mean your inner time, your psychological time, which is measured by the frequency of the thoughts running inside you.

When you are in the pure, thought-free Consciousness, you are experiencing space more powerfully than time. When you are having more number of thoughts per second (TPS), it means you are experiencing time more powerfully than space.

When the space you carry inside you is covered by time, it is gravitation. When the time you carry inside you is covered by space, it is levitation. If the time overtakes the space, it is gravitation. If the space overtakes the time, it is levitation.

It is not easy to handle the space of levitation, because your mind is habituated to being in the space of more thoughts. That is why, many times astronauts who suddenly experience the space of low gravity n outer space start going into depression.

If you see, on planet Earth, even Tibet is in a space of slightly low gravity, because of the high altitude. So astronauts and Tibetans are both living in a space where gravity is a little less. But the Tibetans are trained to be in a less-thought space. So they become enlightened easily. They celebrate the less-thought space.

Whenever you experience the moments of less-thought space in you, cherish it, remember it and enjoy it. Rejoice in it, and it will happen again and again in you.

But sometimes you feel heavy about less thoughts, ‘Oh, what happened? From morning I am so silent. Nothing is happening’.

Arrey, you are getting into peace’.

‘No, no no! Maybe I am depressed. I don’t know why I am depressed... oh, now I know. Two leaves on that tree there have become dry and they are about to fall down!’

You will find some reason or other and successfully convert your less-thought space into depression!

There are two ways that affect the thoughts per second (TPS). It can either come up or down. If the levitation comes down and the gravitation goes up, it becomes more thoughts. That is what we call depression. Dead rock. Nothing else. Just like a rock. But, there is another way. When gravitation comes down and levitation goes up, it becomes less thoughts per second. That is what we call sattva, enlightenment.

Understand, more gravitation, less levitation is tamas (inertia). Levitation and gravitation fighting in your nervous system is rajas (passion and activity). More levitation, less gravitation is satva (purity and goodness).

Understand this, it is a very subtle truth which I am revealing here:

You are pure Consciousness (chit). You are the seer of everything.

Whatever is seen by you is jata (matter).

Suffering happens when chit (consciousness) and jata (matter) are fighting with each other.

The misidentification of the seer as the seen, and the seen as the seer; chit as jata and jata as chit is responsible for all the suffering.

When the seer and the seen are overlapping each other, suffering happens.

Just be clear as to who is the seer and what is the seen. Always decide for life. Don't decide for suffering. Vote for life always.

Of course, ultimately, you are beyond suffering, even if your nervous system has any number of thoughts, in any way, and even if you feel any amount of friction between this levitation and gravitation! That is the ultimate truth.
