There's really no reason to come to satsang at all,
unless you have an open heart.
If you came to satsang with an open heart,
Reality will be yours.
Not my reality or your reality,
but Reality,
the Reality of the kingdom of heaven,
which is here now on earth.
There is no waiting,
there is no enlightenment,
there is no other time.
You are already That,
but you have so many concepts
and conditions and terms that you cover reality up.
You have so many feelings and dogmas and attitudes
that you cover up your own divinity.
So you have to open your heart and let this reality,
this divinity, shine through.
How do you do this?
By not being judgmental,
By paying attention,
by leaving the world alone.
There will always be something in this world to "correct",
either in yourself or in your family or in people.
You have learned from experience that you cannot do this.
You cannot fix or heal or tell anyone, anything.
We must all do this for our self.
Instead, simply surrender to creation, to truth.
The correction is always made within yourself.
It is yourself with a small "s" that sees the problem.
But if you try to resolve the problem outside of you,
it will never be resolved.
It's resolving yourself, knowing the Truth,
understanding who you are,
self knowledge,
that brings you peace and realization.
Freedom means letting go.
People just do not care to let go of everything.
People are conditioned to hang on.
People are conditioned to blame others, blame systems and project.
People are fearful of the unknown and learning to sit
comfortably with uncertainty.
So They Hang On.
They hang on to unconscious family of origin conditioning and
ways of being that no longer serve.
Maturity lies in the readiness to let go of everything.
Growing up is the giving up of all that you are not
and is the first simple, not easy, step.
But the real letting go and surrender is in realizing
that there is nothing to give up,
for nothing is your own.
This is simply who you are not and never have been.
When there is total surrender,
complete relinquishment of all concern with
one’s past, present and future,
with one’s physical and spiritual security and standing,
a new life dawns, full of love and beauty;
then the teacher is not important,
then the lesson is not important,
then the conditioning is not important,
for the learner has integrated the shell of self-defense.
Complete self-surrender as creation is freedom,
but first we must pay attention to all we are not.
