When you're in the silence.


When you're in the silence. When there is noone to judge.
No thoughts to fear. Noone to fight, in that second you are God.
Again when I say you are God, again it's a misnomer.
You can never be God, what you are right now. 
Because when I say you, you're thinking of the self,
this little self, your small self,
and when I say, "You are God!" 

You are believing you are God as a person.
This is impossible. No human being can ever be God.
But the you which is the absolute reality,
which is Brahman, which is sat-chit-ananda is God! 

So you have to get your body out of the way, so-to-speak.
You have to get yourself out of the way and allow God
to shine through as the Self, as nirvana, as sat-chit-ananda.
Think of yourself this way.
When you say, "I am the body," realize you made a mistake.
When you say, "The body is going through karma,"
realize you made a mistake. 

When you say, "The body suffers," realize you made a mistake.
When you say, "The body does its own thing,
separate from the Self," realize you made a mistake. 

There is nothing separate from the Self.
The Self alone is. The Self is Brahman, period! end!
There is nothing else. 

There is not a body that becomes Brahman,
from practicing spiritual disciplines for years and years and
years there will never be a body that becomes Brahman.
Therefore do not dwell on the body at all.
Always think of yourself as the Self,
as consciousness, as pure awareness.

When your mind wants to think of the body or someone else's body,
immediately put a stop to this by simply knowing there is no body. 

There is nobody to experience anything.
How happy you will feel when you can just understand this. 

You will feel such happiness, such joy, such bliss.
Just by understanding what I'm talking about.
For as soon as you take the mind off the body,
the mind becomes weak and starts to disintegrate. 

But if you keep your mind on the body or somebody else's body,
the body of the world, the body of the universe, it's all the body,
the same body — remember there is no difference between
your body and the universal body. It's all the same body. 

Because you think you are a body you think the universe is a body.
But there is no universe and there is no body,
it's all an hallucination.
This realization really brings you happiness,
total happiness, total bliss, total joy.

Just to understand and know this, know it with all your heart,
with all your soul, with all your being,
that you were never a body and you will never be a body.
