 ‘You’ are nothing! Therefore, there is nothing to be transformed, nothing to be changed, nothing to be free from! Life is free, life is changeless, life is the truth that needs no transformation! You are life, not your ideas about life! 'You’ (mind) can never know life. All knowledge is bondage of division. A state of 'not-knowing', an innocent awareness, is therefore, the benediction of divinity. Life is a movement from innocence to innocence. Perhaps that is why Jesus had thundered – only children are entitled to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven! 'You' (mind) may find what life is, when 'you' are absolutely helpless with nowhere to turn, no 'religious' ideas to run into! Your everlasting manipulation of thought and borrowed opinions to give continuity to the separative self is the idiotic or intellectual 'you'! There is nothing there inside 'you' other than that! Are 'you' listening?

 

 

What you call 'myself' is fear. 'Me' is born out of fear; it maintains itself in fear, functions in fear and dies in fear. There can be a fusion between 'I-ness' and fear vanishing the fictitious duality. This is Laya Yoga, the Vilaya, the Adwaita Vedanta, the Ishwara Pranidhan in Kriya Yoga. Without understanding all this, merely doing Kriya-practice mechanically, is totally meaningless. 'You' (mind) are always closed. As long as 'you' are there, it is that which prevents you to understand real things! Whatever 'you' experience is thought-induced. So do not talk about experience except in matters technical. All 'spiritual' and 'religious' experiences including 'your' enlightenment are paradoxical, paranoid and profane. What the hell is that 'you' want? Unless 'you' are free from all wanting, becoming, desiring, demanding including the desire for enlightenment, moksha, liberation, self-realisation, 'you' will only be miserable. Religious ideas of the priest-craft have created a lopsided situation for mankind and turned man into a neurotic individual. When these inhibitions are thrown out, a strange division-less-ness and energy expresses itself in its own way. It is 'religion' that really made a mess of man's life. Anything that is born out of the false division in the inner being is the protective mechanism of the 'I' and in the long run it is destructive. 'Religious thinking' is not going to save man; neither atheism nor communism nor any kind of system formulated by man's vanity and vested interests. Find out if it is possible to be available to the dimension of virtue or veracity which is not an outcome of the vulgarity of opposites in human consciousness.

 

 

One of the Beatles, the star performers of yester-years, sang a very profound song. Let us share it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Imagine there is no heaven

It is easy if you try

No hell below us, above only sky

Imagine all the people; living for today.

 

Imagine there are no countries

It is not hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for!

And no religion too!

Image all the people, living life in peace.

 

You may say that I'm a dreamer,

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you will join us

And the world will be as one.

 

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people, sharing all the world.

 

You may say that I'm a dreamer,

But I'm not the only one

I hope some day you will join us

And the world will live as one.
