it's the other way around
what is close to you is yourself and when you know yourself you will know me better
the way to know me is to know yourself
and that is just knowing you are
the experiencer not the experiences
you know we go through many experiences in life
pleasant experience unpleasant experience
but in all that we say I am experiencing
I am agitated
I am angry
I am upset I am sad
or I am happy
I am peaceful I am great
I am feeling wonderful
this I
to be seen different from
am this am that am that all that
all that experiences
because experiences change
but the I doesnt change
and when you go in deep into this I is what is meditation
seeing yourself beyond the thoughts
beyond your notions
beyond your concept of what is happening to you? or what others are? and who you are?
can you step back and see?
I am not this I am not this I am not this I am not this I am nothing
then you come to a vey peaceful place within yourself
there you will find me smiling
at that time you will find everything you will feel so connected
you will feel so taken care so loved
so cared and then that's what you want to give it to others
right now you are saying
oh let everybody let everyone care for me
everyone should love me
never ask this that people should love you
what?
this is the path to become miserable
nobody you should ask even Guru you should not ask
oh Guruji should love me
what will Guruji can do? otherwise
Gurudev loves oh Gurudev is all love he only loves you
but you demanding love
you are making yourself miserable
oh Guruji tapped on that person
didnt look at me
forget about that
I look at everybody every single one you know?
I look at every single one
suppose I missed doing something I call them back and look at them
in darshan line have you noticed?
in the darshan line suppose
one person goes
somebody asks me something in this side
somebody missed no I say call them
I attend to them
so I do my job I think I am doing it perfectly
so you just relax and do your thing
your thing is what?
getting out of that being the experience
you become the experiencer and you think you are the experience
you are away from the experience
then what happens?
then bliss joy wells up in you
and tears of love and joy flows out of your eyes
and this is what the Shastras say all the scriptures say this
भिद्यन्ते हृदय ग्रन्थि
the knot in the heart gets opened
श्छिद्यन्ते सर्वसंशयाः
all the doubts simply disappear
self doubt and doubt about others
everything just gets blown away
like the dew drops when the sun rises the dew drops disappear
श्छिद्यन्ते सर्वसंशयाः
क्शीयन्ते चास्य कर्माणि
all the karma negative karma bad karma we have been carrying it I dont know
from how many lifetimes
those things they just drop they get vanished
क्शीयन्ते - they you know? they start vanishing
they vanish
and tears come roll out of your eyes
and that is the peak of devotion that
in that then the whole universe is rejoicing
you heard no? the Devi Bhagvatam?
all those things they
very clearly mention those things
so thats what we need to do
we are not any bad worst hopeless experiences
you say I am not this
this experience has come to me because I have to
may be something has come from the past I have to go through
instead of blaming others and making another karma for it
best thing is to say oh this is a karma I have to sail ok
lets move on
what is it? isnt it better?
how someone ill treats you
instead of you getting angry and shouting at them and
getting upset
you have an option
say oh this is a karma I have to clear this ok let me move forward
then you dont make a karma because otherwise when you
otherwise we keep getting into the cycle no?
vicious cycle vicious cycle
anger regret this this this this this
so save your mind at all cost
ok? and what we need to do?
so say we need to do this umm...
happiness survey
lets do happiness survey next month
November everyone go around to everybody
talk to all your friends we have already an app I think
we have an app?
we have an app so with the app
you can talk to as many people as possible and get
the happiness survey done
when people start reflecting what do I need to be happy?
a lot of cobwebs from their mind gets cleared
yeah?
that we need to do
ok and then this

are disappearing from the planet
