Everything is God
When Janaka discovered that all these days I was not knowing...example hologram ...one side nehru or other side you see Gandhi. Entire Universe is made of God...nothing is beyond foreign to God...divine. It needs skill to see it. Like bubble in water...waves in ocean. You need to skill it. Everything is name and Form. Name doesn't have form in it but the forms don't have name. People are like waves...they arise and disappear in water. They dissolve in space....in between names and forms..They rise and fall. Don't search for God. All that is God ,will be . All life are springing and dissolving in that. I am hollow and empty. I am all forms and all names but you are acting like someone else. Your true nature is joy or what you are perceiving is true. So,a skill is required. Tilt your eyes ..this is God...all universe. Dimension opposites are created...their co existence makes it complete. They all exist within God. Very difficult for people who define him. In one hand he is omnipresent and omnipotent and on the other hand, he exists in sattan. Immune system is destroying bacteria...it's violence. People ask questioning. Why not only one set of people..and they exist for long. When events become big...it becomes bliss. Intensity of events change and superimpose. Existence remains the same. That which is changeless is truth and which is ever-changing is illusion.You have yelled and said this is not me. Once you have experienced silence, then you know it's not me. Skilfully see and realize and rise above duality. See whole world people as bubble above water. Everybody is having their own games and dissolving. With one person, whole type of emotions come...then you say all this is nothing. All arise in mind and fall. Mind is wave in the self. So is moods. None will stay more than a two-quarter of day. Pleasant moments you can't hold but bad moments you keep on holding. So, skill is required. Skill makes it simple. You need to skill to go deep inside. He has not mentioned what skill. You can say it is all love or just projection. Love is behind every action positive or negative. You need skill to know it or experience it. Like threads maje a cloth but if you separate threads, then where is the cloth. Likewise concepts are worn into consciousness. Mind which is ironed very well. We put creases in mind...so ironed mind. That's why appears silly. When you see the life like this,problem disappears.
Nothing will happen to you as they are appearing and disappearing.. with your skillful intellect..life is colorful. I reality there is no compassion..someone is suffering..it shall give maturity to the person. If someone is not friendly, you can't let go.
He goes on giving examples..sugar is present all over sugarcane...it tastes same everywhere....water in ocean is same everywhere..so you are present all over infinity. Sometime you are sitting and child falls.. you also experience same. You imitate surrounding atmosphere too. Middle class go on criticizing...even guru ji is criticizing...how much energy is wasted...we are not skillful in our action, perception. Through some skill, doership is not felt. It's through total devotion and surrender. It shows how deep affection he has for Ashtavakra.His heart and mind were so aligned with nature. Just hankering for unity, knowledge will not help. How close you can go while doing meditation...you will be frustrated...you drop meditation as nothing happens. We are in satsang...so much into knowledge...but so what...struggle goes on...that's why skillfully...you are special...don't compare yourself...one of our devotee got angry, person was hankering, feeling bad..so I gave them surprise by visiting him. That person broke down...I thought but faith became alright..if faith is high, body gets healed.
All is taranga ...na bubudaa. Then only you can smile. Life is so short.
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji
