MAKE SEEKING PART OF YOUR COGNITION
One of the biggest mental disorder is being unable to sit with yourself. Understand, just learning the concept, not making it as part of your cognition, is the most dangerous.
Just hearing these words, not making it as part of your cognition, will give you pseudo satisfaction as if you know it is truth. That is the most dangerous. That is why I tell you, before initiation, the disciple need to be prepared. The moment you are initiated, you should just follow the truth.
Pain is such self destructive mechanism that will not allow you to reinvent yourself with any new concepts and strategies. Knowing all the spiritual truths, but not living them makes you feel as if you are already living them, that is what is incomplete knowledge.
How ever much you may know about yoga, unless you DO, you won't have the result. How ever much you may know about swimming, unless you start swimming, you will not have the result. How ever much you may know about surgery, unless you do it, you don't know what it is.
Knowing but not doing, the non-practice, that's the most difficult mental setup. Once you acquire that, your whole life is gone.
Listening to the concept but not living them, listening to the truths but not living them, that is the most dangerous.
Once that mental setup comes to you, anything you know you will know how to brush it aside. It is like watching an advertisement on the TV, 'Call now, call now, call now.' How you don't even care and change the channel, you will develop the same attitude even towards the spiritual truths.
When the truth says, 'You are Consciousness, You are Consciousness, You are Consciousness. Start living,' you will switch to another channel. If you develop the attitude of inaction in the face of spiritual truths, then nothing can help you reinvent yourself.
If you think, 'I'll attend all the sessions, classes and learn the strategies, but I don't need to do anything, because I know I am Consciousness, and Swamiji has been saying the same thing since 2003,' then you are worshipping the ignorance.
Pain in life makes part of you stagnant constantly. Stagnation is the residue of pain. Being stagnant, feeling stuck is the hang over of pains in life, which happens constantly till you become enlightened. So the one and only solution is: reinventing yourself and re-strategizing yourself constantly.
When you are driven by your greed or fear, constantly you will reinvent yourself. If you are in love with a girl,
how constantly you will reinvent yourself to demonstrate your love to her or impress her.
If you are afraid of your wife, how constantly you will reinvent yourself to save yourself or to escape from her. When the fear and greed is there, how you constantly reinvent yourself, re-strategize yourself, do that same out of inspiration or the great truths.
Any spiritual truth, the moment you hear it or listen it from the Master, it has to be implicated, if not it will never be implicated. If you don't make it as your cognition by today's sunset, it is not useful for you, forget it. Otherwise you will develop a wrong pattern of listening, but not living. Don't do that; that is Atmahana, saying no to life.
Fools are those who listen to the great truths, but do not make them as part of their cognition. If you have postponed the spiritual truths in your life without letting them become your cognition, parts of you have already frozen. It has become dead.
Melt all those parts which have become dead, frozen, and re-strategize your whole life with that truth, 'I am Consciousness.'
Don't be pushed by fear and greed, be pushed only by tremendous joy, inspiration, happiness, bliss, fulfillment, and completion!
