33. Everything Happens by Itself

Qn: Does a Gnani die?

Ans: He is beyond life and death. Nothing lasts, nothing changes. He is aware of himself as neither conscious nor unconscious, but purely aware, a witness to the three states of the mind.

What has no beginning cannot end. No state of mind can be more real than the mind itself. All states of mind, all names and forms of existence are rooted in non-enquiry.

Self forgetfulness is the darkness. Sadhana consists in reminding oneself forcibly of one's pure being-ness.

Enquire what is permanent in the transient; real in the unreal. This is Sadhana. Limiting oneself to the body is a mistake.

Qn: The question who I am must be useful.

Ans: It has no answer in consciousness and therefore helps to go beyond consciousness.

Qn: A boy came with a problem. You helped him.

Ans: To help and setting things right is in my very nature, which is Satyam-Shivam-Sundaram.(the true, the good and the beautiful).

There is no myself and his self. There is the self, the self of all. All experience is in the mind. To me, there is no me, no man, no giving. It is all a display in consciousness.

Power is inherent in my very nature. Call it creativity. I do not issue order to consciousnesses. People are afraid to die. The Gnani has died before his death.

Man makes mistakes and creates sorrow; when world enters the field of awareness, the consciousness of a Gnani, it is set right. The self is peace at peace. True knowledge of the self is not a knowledge.

Qn: We can observe what may be called spiritual progress. A selfish man turns religious, controls himself, refines his thoughts and feelings, takes to spiritual practice, realizes his true being.

Is such progress ruled by causality, or is it accidental?

Ans: From my point of view 'Everything happens by itself', quite spontaneously. But man imagines that he works for an incentive, towards a goal.

He has always a reward in mind and strives for it.
