Emptiness is realization. Emptiness is Brahman.
Emptiness is the Self. Emptiness is your real nature.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The important point here is you have to stop the thoughts from rising.
In order for you to do this you have to find the source to your thoughts.
What is the source of your thoughts?
You never answer a question like this.
For if you answer this question it's the ego answering the question.
The whole idea is to be silent.
Not to add affirmations or words to your garbage pail.
It is already filled with garbage.
By garbage I mean, preconceived ideas, dogmas, opinions,
samskaras from previous lives, you're filled with these things
and you are a reacting machine, you react,
that is what you do all day is react, react, react.
Therefore when you try to learn more knowledge and
you read more books all you're doing is adding on to the garbage pail.
Of course most of you realize, the highest truth is to delete, not to add.
To get rid of the things you believe in now.
So empty yourself out totally and completely.
All of your ideas, your feelings, all have to be emptied out of you.
When you become totally and completely empty
there is nothing you have to do to fill it up again.
Emptiness is realization. Emptiness is Brahman.
Emptiness is the Self. Emptiness is your real nature.
So do not concern yourself whether the world is real or
if everything is preordained.
Do not waste your time thinking about things like this.
Wouldn't it be more useful for you to say,
"To whom do these thoughts come?
Who is thinking these thoughts?
To whom do they come? They come to me.
Then who am I?"
I tell you this will be more useful for you.
You've been wasting your time trying to find out
what is real, what is false,
who is enlightened, who is not,
who is real, who is a fake, who is this, who is that
and trying to make your life a certain way
when the one is always looking after you.
The power that knows the way will always take care of you
and lead you to where you're supposed to be.
Wake up! Be free!
