What jumps out from his question
'I want to end samsara'
It's a big thing, you know, I want to end samsara.
Then we must look
where did samsara begin?
Where did samsara begin?
I will show you
Where did samsara begin?
It begins when you say 'I' and take 'I' to be personal.
When you say 'I'
and you take 'I' to be a person personal
Samsara!
How to end samsara?
I don't want to give you a philosophical answer
it will not help you
I don't want to give you a religious answer
it will not help you
I have to give a practical answer
You want to find the end of something? Find out how it began!
And then go before the beginning
How did it begin?
When you touch 'I'
because all beings we say 'I'
naturally, nobody taught you 'I'
every other other word that you have learned
who taught you 'I' which is the great grandmother of all words
because when you say 'I'
you don't question 'I'
everything else you question
when you say 'I'
and 'I' means 'me, person'
'I am this person'
samsara begins right there!
samsara means what?
Ocean of suffering
samsara means ocean of suffering
means when the life is full of delusion, confusion
judgements, fear, anxiety, depression
broken promises, broken dreams
than the beings they are tired
they are frustrated, they are unhappy, they are suffering
this is samsara
how to stop it?
For whom is samsara?
for whom is samsara?
Who feels the impact of samsara?
Who suffers samsara?
And don't give the answer you have read!
Because if the suffering is here then the answer is also here
Who is suffering it? You see
If you say 'I am the one'
which is the natural answer
'I am the one. It's my question, I am the one suffering.'
Then I am going to ask something like
'Show me the sufferer!'
Who exactly says 'I am suffering'?
It will seem a very strange thing for me to say
because you are so convinced
'It's me!'
"I am not asking you 'who?'"
'You see. I am asking you 'help me!'
'So, it's me'
And this is where the problem begins
You are totally convinced
that you are the one who is suffering it
I am not saying 'No, it's going to turn out to be your uncle or your sister.'
It's going to be right here
behind the feeling of 'me'
because the feeling of 'me'
is taken to be a fact
and I want you to see
that it is a fiction
and to find the fact
Who are you as the fact
and not as the fiction?!
But most people will believe
that this 'I' who says 'I am suffering'
'Help me I am drowning'
this one is the fact
So if we can understand just this one
we are going to be quite happy I think
Who is the one that is suffering samsara?
Because everyone is claiming 'It's me, why are you talking about ..., just give me your hand and pull me out.'
If you hear my words and follow them
you'll find yourself out
Who is the one exactly? Who is suffering samsara?
So the reflex answer 'It's me, let's get on with it,'
I am going to slow you down
Let's look into this 'me'-sense
because you have put your whole life
behind this 'me'
this sense of 'I'
Why your whole life?
Because you accepted without question
Does anybody follow what I am speaking?
When you accept something without question you have put your whole life on top of it
This is why I ask you
You who suffer samsara
because your question is
'I want it to stop'
I asked you 'how did it start?'
You could not answer
I told you it started when you touch the feeling of 'I'
which is very natural, because all of you, all of us
have the natural feeling of 'I'
when you speak, when you think
you say 'I' think, 'I' speak, 'I' live, 'I' go, 'I' want, 'I', 'I', 'I', ...
when I ask you what is 'I'
because nobody asks you 'what is 'I?'
everyone assumes that if they see a female body there that it is a woman, 'you are a woman'
if they see a male body 'you are a man'
if they see an old body, 'you are an old person'
you see
that's what they see
but the one inside
what do they see?
Who do they take themselves to be?
It is more important who you take yourself to be
than who other people take you to be, isn't it?!
We have to find out: who is functioning inside this body and what idea do they have about who they are
and if you feel that you are a person
then you are very suited for samsara
'I am tired of this, I want, I need this, I am in trouble' : this is samsara language
samsara language
How to stop it?
Find out who started it
Find out who is affected by it
You say 'It starts with the feeling 'I AM'
Then let's start to go into this 'I' truly
When you say 'I'
What is the substance of your 'I'?
Now, first of all, these questions your mind doesn't want it
your mind doesn't want you to listen to what I am going to tell you
It's going 'no, no, no, ...'
It doesn't want you to know
and I will tell you why it doesn't want you to know
because the moment you are discovering your true Self
the psychological mind is losing power over you
the moment you begin
to not only understand, but to experience
what you are
it becomes so contagious
it is so attractive
that you are going to be moving away
from the old mindset
the old idea
old identity
you're not going to want him, because you have a higher taste
once you discover
that which is in here
but is yet undiscovered
How to stop samsara?
they say samsara is like a wheel that is always turning
how to stop this wheel?
get off!
Get off. It's the first big experience to get off the wheel ...
dismount
let the wheel will go on by itself.
OK? That's one way
There is another way
Wake up!
Wake up and you will realize
I was dreaming that I was on a wheel
called samsara
and the one who was on the wheel
was just an idea I have of who I am
I have never been on any wheel!
