Go to the source of it and find out - The Ultimate Medicine

 

The conviction that this world never existed can happen only to ‘Parabrahman’. If this is indeed your conviction then you are the ‘Parabrahman’. This thing aside, you should discover how this news ‘I am’ – the knowledge of your existence – appeared and at what moment. Go to the source of it and find out.

Whatever food you consume, that is converted into this body - The Ultimate Medicine

 

Whatever food you consume, that is converted into this body, ultimately. And this body in turn is the food for the consciousness. So you come with the food, you come with the body. The question is one of correctly identifying what you are.

Originally, I am untainted - The Ultimate Medicine

 

Originally, I am untainted - uncovered by anything, without stigma - since nobody existed prior to me. Nor do I entertain any concepts about somebody existing before me. Everything is in the form of the manifest world, after the appearance of the knowledge "I am" with the body. Together with the body and the indwelling "I-am-ness," everything is. Prior to the appearance of this body and the knowledge "I am" what was there?

When you say you sit for meditation - The Ultimate Medicine

When you say you sit for meditation, the first thing to be done is understand that it is not this body identification that is sitting for meditation, but this knowledge ‘I am’, this consciousness, which is sitting in meditation and is meditating on itself. When this is finally understood, then it becomes easy. When this consciousness, this conscious presence, merges in itself, the state of ‘samadhi’ ensues. It is the conceptual feeling that I exist that disappears and merges into the beingness itself. So this conscious presence also gets merged into that knowledge, that beingness – that is ‘samadhi’.

It is called Parabrahman, the Absolute - The Ultimate Medicine

What remains is the Original, which is unconditioned without attributes, and without identity: that on which this temporary state of the consciousness and the three states and the three gunas have come and gone. It is called Parabrahman, the Absolute. This is my basic teaching. Have you any questions on that?

I deal only with that Highest - The Ultimate Medicine

 

There is no question of duality because nothing exists except me. Only I exist. I deal only with that Highest, whatever it is. In the lower, everything is true, on that level. But I don't deal with that stuff at all. I don't expound the initial stages...That time is over for myself. If anybody places full reliance on my words, that you are the Brahman, you are everything, that itself will transform you.

Elevate yourself to the state of Brahman - The Ultimate Medicine

 

Only Conviction! That is the only technique for the sadhana if you are thinking of any initiation - only the words of the guru that you are not the body! That is the initiation. Stay put there, in that state. It is spontaneous, natural, that ‘shraddha’ (faith). What is that faith? ‘I am’ without words, whatever you are that is the faith. Now you have to elevate yourself to the state of ‘Brahman’; this is the condition you have to develop.

It was a great illusion - The Ultimate Medicine

 

You know that there is Being, and you are going towards non-Being. And there are all the things of Being and you know that they are really nothing. But it was fun; it was a great illusion while it lasted.
