Man is endowed with the special
instrument of discrimination, of judgment, of analysis and synthesis, which
among all animals, he alone possesses.
He has to develop this and utilize it to
the best purpose. Through this instrument, he can realize the Immanent
Divinity.
Upanishad Vahini
It is not difficult, it is easy. If we are the same, isn’t it easy? What do we need to know about being the same?
The insight is not easy. Why not? Because is it not direct seeing on the level of our eyes and sense perception,
it is insight in consciousness. Time, effort, work are needed to get to the result of understanding it, meditation, waiting, observing, discrimination.
And can we even understand it?
The Gita is but the essence of the
Upanishads. Arjuna acquired through the lessons of the Gita the fruit of
listening to the Upanishads. In the Upanishads, the statement, "That-twam-asi",
"That thou art", is found.
In the Gita, Krishna says to
Arjuna, "I am Arjuna among the Pandavas", that is to say, "I and
You are the same". This is the same as saying "Thou art That",
that Jiva and Iswara are the same.
Do you realize that it is this ‘reality’
in ‘we are the same’?
Baba made me
get aware inside that ‘we are the same’, but that is just the mirror of the reality
he is and then it looks all different when Baba tells ‘I and You are the same’.
But it means we are the same and he is the mirror or we are the same in that mirror, the same 'I am that'.
This is the reflection in consciousness and you are the same and who is the mirror? Do you understand that?
But it means we are the same and he is the mirror or we are the same in that mirror, the same 'I am that'.
This is the reflection in consciousness and you are the same and who is the mirror? Do you understand that?
I guess you must be enlightened if you do.
