Q: Is my being, the very nature of it, just random thoughts, the gap between thoughts, or inner space?🔗

A: By your very nature, constantly you renounce. You don't even have to renounce, you don't even have to struggle or to get enlightened. Your inner space can not be corrupted. Even if you try your best you can't hold on to one thought. Try your best to hold on even to lust, you can't.

Let me challenge, you see you may have a big problem with anger or lust or fear or greed. Try to hold on to the fear. Just as you are having a thought of having a cup of coffee, try to hold on to your death fear. Your death fear can be replaced just by the thought of a cup of coffee. The moment you start thinking about having a cup of coffee the death fear has disappeared. Unless that moves and gives place, the cup of coffee thought can not happen.

That means what? That death fear and desire to have a cup of coffee are equal. This can replace that, means its value has that much only. But mentally you create a chain; no, no, no, again and again I am having death fear. Again and again you have the thought of having coffee also. But you don't give importance to it. You don't put those thoughts and create a shaft.

9 years ago your thought was about having a cup of coffee, 8 years ago your thought was to have a cup of coffee and one hour ago your thought was to have a cup of coffee. You don't connect those thoughts and think that 'oh, having a cup of coffee is a big problem in me'.

You are not doing that, but the flowers of fears that happened many times you pluck those flowers and create a garden and start creating suffering and create a shaft. All your problems are chosen thoughts. All your problems are chosen thoughts believing that they are connected. You can see what you have written, random thoughts. So much is there in front of you; some 1 million thoughts are there. You just picked up 10 thoughts and you say these represent 1 million thoughts.

How can it be? In your inner space no thought holds value. No thought holds any value. Try to renounce fear; whoever wants to get rid of fear, understand your fear has no value; except your fear about that fear. Your fear has no value except that fear about that fear. The thought to have a cup of coffee can replace your fear; what does this say about your fear? Tell me. It is not even worthy of a cup of coffee. Cup of coffee can replace the thought of fear of death.

You think no, no, no, I can't replace it; I am trying so much. I better get rid of my phobia Swamiji, I am trying my best to get rid of some of my problems. A glass of water can replace it. Done. Understand by your very nature your inner space renounces and your inner space rejuvenates; your inner space doesn't hold thoughts. By your very nature your inner space is pure. Only when you start believing these are your problems, you connect all those problems that happened many times.

You see that also happens in a very random way, something rises and something falls; something rises and something falls. When it rises you pick up, you go, 'come, come, come, come', and you connect all those thoughts and create an idea you have fear. All your phobias can be addresses with this single truth. People come to me with some allergy or some fear.

If they have an allergy to green chilly I ask them first to bring that same green chilly , I'll just tell them, now eat in front of me. Please be very clear at least allergies I have healed. I am honest. Nothing needs to be done. Give them the courage to be unclutched. Look into that moment. In a single session allergies have been addressed. Just recently in Hyderabad, one guy had 25 years of allergy to lentils (dal in Hindi). Even if he ate a spoonful of cooked lentils his whole body will start swelling. I said now bring the dal and eat in front of me. I told him to eat the dal. I sat next to him and just told him I'll take care. I'll heal; you don't bother. He ate and no swelling. The allergy simply disappeared; 25 years of allergy. All your allergies and all your phobias are nothing but pure connection. It is nothing. All your energies are simply connecting; pure connection.

Q: Please discuss long term memory and short term memory.

A: Rubbish and nonsense; that is the difference between what I call short term and long term memory.

When I read this I remembered a small story.

There was an advertisement in the newspaper, 'We want a manager who knows how to read and write French'.

One guy applied, I can write but I can't read. The manager was surprised but he asked that guy to come for interview. When he came he said please write. He started writing. Manager then asked, 'Now please read, I am not able to read what you have written'.

The guy says, 'I told you already that I can only write I can't read'.

One guy was searching all over his house, where is my prescription, where is my prescription?

Wife asked, 'What prescription?'

'That yellow slip, that yellow slip'.

Today morning I went and did my shopping with that slip and now your daughter is playing piano with that slip.

That same prescription, from the doctor is used for music notes as piano, as shopping list and medical prescription.

Anyhow, let me answer this question. You see you don't have to remember all the statements that I am uttering. You have to remember the truth behind the statement. This moment understand the truth you are unclutched. You will solve all your problems this moment with that truth. You see when you solve all your problems this moment, when you feel that freedom and inner healing has got so much of power, again and again you will be made to remember the truth.

Unless the truth gives you the result of freedom this moment it is not worth remembering. If it helps you in this moment you will not be able to forget it. You will not be able to forget it. If it is not helping you this moment, please do not carry it in your head. It is unnecessary luggage, garbage.

So that is the reason I tell you, let you have the effect this moment. Let you understand either you are able to accept that you are unclutched or struggle that you are not able to accept. Both are fine. Let you start working this moment. If you carry this in your notebook your mind will say, no, no, let me read when I go back and I can try to practice. You will never do. I have always seen people taking notes. They will put it in their cupboard. After 5 years after when they move their house or spring clean their house, they will find it and put it in the dustbin; finally everything will go into dustbin only. Let you carry this inside your being as an understanding.
