V. CREATE A NEW YOU🔗

Seeking is a decision to face the questions that make us powerless. Facing these questions with courage will transform everything. The seeking is powerful enough to let you experience what you are seeking.

SEEK FOR 'WHAT AM I?'

Seeking is the fire that constantly helps you to reinvent yourself. I tell you, all the best things in My life, health, the best goodness I felt about me, the ultimate ability to do tyaga (sacrifice), everything, was living in Me when I was seeking.

Even now it is living in Me, because I am established in seeking. Even an Incarnation is established in seeking. Before My enlightenment I was seeking Enlightenment. Once Enlightenment has happened, the mind disappeared, I realized, 'I am the whole, I am the Cosmos.'

But the Cosmos itself is not stagnant, it is constantly expanding. How can it expand if it doesn't have seeking to become something more? So the very expansion of Cosmos is fuelled by the seeking of Cosmos. That is why I am saying, even after I have realized, 'I am the Cosmos,' my mind has disappeared, but not seeking.

Mind disappearing is only called as Enlightenment not disappearance of seeking. That is why I insist Enlightenment is the ultimate, but not final.

Giving in to your compulsory patterns is suffering. Making the seeking as the compelling form of existence is Enlightenment.

Giving in to your patterns and compulsions are not freedom.

Unfortunately, the western civilization is teaching you, the materialistic civilization is teaching you, giving in to your pattern and compulsions is freedom. They also supply material for your pattern compulsions, and swindle you and rob you.

Giving in to your pattern and compulsions are not freedom. Make seeking as the compelling reality of you. Let seeking be the first response from you.

Let me define Seeking. Whatever I feel as 'me,' what is that? It is constantly changing, sometimes it feels good, sometimes it is bad, sometimes right, sometimes wrong, sometimes knowledgeable, and sometimes ignorant.

What is it? What am I? You should not even ask, 'who am I,' because the moment you say, 'Who am I' you already assumed you are a being.

You should only ask, 'What am I?' Because you don't even know whether you are a being or some inanimate object. The word 'Who am I' comes with the presumption you are a being, even that is not sure.

Only when you realize who you are, you can be a being. Until then, you are just only an innate existence. There are tons and tons of compulsions you may face in your life, social compulsions, family compulsions, political compulsions, and economical compulsions.

But the worst compulsion is pattern compulsion.

Pattern compulsion is the worst compulsion, where you are eternally imprisoned. Life becomes worse than hell when you are caught in pattern compulsions. Seeking is the antidote for all pattern compulsions.

The place where you stay, your house, your office, just go into those places, you will see each place has a strong pattern associated with it. How much ever you try the moment you go and sit in your bed, you will fall asleep, even if it is daytime, even after sleeping for twelve hours.

You may think, 'I will sit in my bed and do work.' The moment you sit, Nidra Devi (goddess of sleep) just embraces you and calls you, 'my son, please come…' and you're out.

Patterns and pattern compulsions are associated even with places. Go to your office, automatically you will be restless, agitated, feel like biting everyone you see in front of you, whoever is seen by you will have your 'blessings.' With each place, certain patterns are associated.

Constantly keep your seeking alive. What am I? What is it I see all around me which I tag as world? Which I classify as world?

Before accepting any friend request on Facebook, you try to see the profile. In the same way, before accepting the friend request from the world, please try to see the profile of the world, 'What it is? Who made it?'

Whenever you try to find somebody's profile, any amount of information given looks very little, you try to look for only this much, 'no, this fellow has something to hide.'

Even if you need to move along with your life not forgetting that you are having only too little information, you need to dig it out, and get all the information, After you receive the information, you should be ready to change, reinvent, and re-strategise yourself. This is Seeking.

The materialistic civilization never lets you sit back and look. If you are allowed to sit back and look you are a dangerous person. You will find the shallowness of it. Sitting back and looking is what I call unclutching, meditation, and seeking.

Sit back and look: What for are you looking, what are you looking, where are you looking? Are you looking in the right direction, what are you looking? These basic questions are enough, all the make-up of the world will disappear.

If you go in the rain, the black will become white, and white will become black. This means the hair which was dyed will become white, and the face which was painted with white will become dark, because the dye has come out. Exchange of color.

I tell you, sit back and look, you will suddenly see what you are looking can never be delivered from whom you are looking, and from where you are looking.

That is why the materialistic society and its day to day routine is always constantly pushing you, never letting you sit back and look.

Ramakrishna, an enlightened Master, says again and again, 'once in a while, you should withdraw from your office, house, everything. Just sit back, and look.' I tell you, not once in a while, every night you have to withdraw, sit back and look at your whole life, 'What are you? What am I? What am I looking for? Where I am looking for that? Whom am I looking for? Am I going to get it?'

Coming back to the basic questions is Seeking. You may be running in any speed with your materialistic needs, demands, fear, and greed, but retaining the capacity to reinvent yourself and re-strategize yourself with the conclusions of your seeking is keeping seeking alive.

REINVENT YOURSELF WITH SEEKING

You might have established a business for twenty-five years, suddenly your seeking tells you that it is not the right field. As per the conclusions you arrive with your seeking, having the ability to just change, reinvent, re-strategize yourself with something new, as per the conclusions of your seeking, is keeping seeking alive. Ability to be liquid, ability to be alive, ability to be a seeker.

I am not encouraging changing, whatever you want based on your whims and fancies and your boredom.

Many people in my ashram also want to change the department, sometimes change the ashram, sometimes change the organization itself, out of their boredom, not out of their seeking.

I am not talking about that. Many people change job, change house, change car, change wife, change everything, out of boredom. Changing due to your boredom is different, reinventing and re-strategizing due to your seeking is different.

Reinventing and re-strategizing due to the conclusions of your seeking is different from changing due to your boredom and pattern compulsions.

Changing due to your boredom leads you to a deeper and deeper hell. Reinventing, re-strategizing due to your seeking leads you to Enlightenment.

DISCOVER YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS

Discovering your Consciousness experientially is the purpose of your life? I am not using the word inventing. I am saying discovering. Discovering your Consciousness is the purpose of life.

Whether you lived as a spiritual being, as a cook, lawyer, engineer, doctor, political leader, professional, or not doing anything, nothing counts!

The only thing that counts in the Cosmos is: 'Have you discovered your pure consciousness?'

The good news I have is, nothing that you considered as the goal of your life, whether you achieved it or not achieved it, is not considered as a goal in the Cosmos.

If you think you have do not have a good name in your neighbourhood, don't worry; it is not the goal of life. If you think you don't have this, you don't have that, don't worry; this is not the goal of life.

People who have all those, wasted their time and energy! The one and only goal of life is DISCOVERING YOUR PURE CONSCIOUSNESS!

Every moment you spent in discovering your consciousness, you used that moment in your life. Every moment you didn't spend on this goal, you wasted those moments in your life. I will give you one small tip: Whenever you are able to think and intranalyze, with the goal of reaching your Source, all those moments are meditation! Even if your thinking looks very confusing!

This is consciousness declaring about itself! This is God introducing Himself! Who is the source of the whole Cosmos is introducing Himself.

I tell you, discovering the consciousness is the one and only purpose of life.

Whether life puts you in heaven or life puts you in hell, the only message life wants to send you is: DISCOVER YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS!

Whether it gives you whatever you want and keeps you in the highest pedestal of the world, society, money, wealth, power, name, fame, and everything is offered to you, life is sending you the message: DISCOVER YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS WHICH IS BEYOND ALL THESE!

If you are tortured, pushed into poverty, no food, disease, no medical care, you are literally stinking and dying every moment, life is sending you the message:
