That Divine Moment Is Now!

Some of you are still afraid that if you become liberated,
you will fall out of love with someone
or you will not care about your job
or you will believe that you don't care about anything,
you will become cynical, this is untrue. 

You become more of a loving person,
compassionate, filled with joy. 

You give your love to your mate in a free way.
Expecting nothing in return. 

Your love increases a thousand times.
Because you're free.
You can love someone without any need,
unconditioned and you don't have to think about it.

Therefore I concluded talking to this gentleman on the phone, turn within.
Your past is dead we both know this, you've become
a new person as you say but the I still lives in you. 

If the I is still alive in you your samskaras are still active.
You may be inclined to rob a bank again. 

You have no idea what's going to happen tomorrow
when you allow the personal I to exist. 

Therefore begin to understand that this I, this ego,
this mind is only a thought, an idea. It has no reality.

You must inquire within yourself,
"To whom does the mind come?
To whom does the I come?
To whom does the ego come?" 

When thoughts about your past come up.
When you think about your ten years in prison.
When you think about the evil acts you've committed.
Immediately do anything you can to halt those thoughts. 

You can ask, "To whom do these thoughts come?"
Or you can just remain perfectly silent and become
the witness to the thoughts, not reacting to them. 

Not trying to stop them at all.
If you do not react to your thoughts
they will burn themselves out.
They only become more powerful when you react to them.

As an example if you're trying to fight an illness,
if you react to your illness by imagining
and believing in your mind that it doesn't exist,
that you're having a terrible time.
Why did this happen to me?
I can't take it any longer. 

This is what's keeping you back not the illness.
But as your illness continues upon you,
if you would simply observe it without thinking,
become the witness to it without trying to do anything else,
or inquiring, "To whom does it come?" 

In other words do what you have to do to stop the thought process.
You use the same method with any other problem
or with any other goodness that comes to you.

Remember all the human goodness is also an illusion. 

So if you have a good life, it is only temporary. 

If you do not find yourself you will have to come back to this earth
again and again and again and have other experiences. 

You may come back again when the earth is in the dark ages once more
and they're having the Spanish inquisition
and you're hanging by your thumbs
while your eyes are being gorged out. 

And then you may come back in a different life
when you are a multimillionaire and you live in a castle
and you're in control of thousands of people.

They are two sides of the same coin. 

Therefore wake up.
Do not try to exchange bad for good. 

Do not believe that if I become a multimillionaire
I'll be happy or if I get rid of my disease I'll be happier
or if I live in a better home I'll be happier
or if I have a new mate I'll be happier
or if I have no mate I'll be happier,
or if I have this I'll be happier.
It's all illusion.

Happiness is your real nature.
Happiness is what you are. 

You are that now, if you live in the moment.
In that moment you are absolute reality. 

In that moment you are pure awareness.
You are Brahman in that moment. 

You are sat-chit-ananda, ultimate oneness, emptiness. 

That is your true nature. Identify with that.
Focus on that.
Become that and you will be ever free.
