What has to Go Out of our Hands will Go, in spite of all our Struggles

You are unnecessarily struggling and planning several schemes, thinking about them day and night. In spite of all your struggles, what has to go out of your hands will go. The body is like a water bubble. The mind is like a mad monkey. If you follow this mad monkey, you will get into trouble. In the same manner, if you believe in the body, you do not know when this body, which is like a water bubble, will burst. Nothing is permanent. Only the Atma (Self) is eternal and immortal. 'I', 'Self', 'God' are all different names by which the Atmaswarupa is called. God incarnated as Rama, Krishna, and the like, and underwent several difficulties to demonstrate great ideals. Finally, they too left the mortal coil. The physical bodies of the Avatars undergo changes, but the Divine Atma in their bodies remains the same. It is omnipresent, eternal and changeless. Divinity in all the human beings is one and the same.

Baba

 

 

What is struggling? Do we know for sure, yes I think we do, but don't we have to plan our schemes? The way Swami is telling is we should probably not do it day and night, because we are too preoccupied by it to have time for the divine. What do you think, is someone who is constantly planning our schemes, no matter what it is, ever thinking of divinity? Do you really think it is possible and it is not possible, because there is no room for the divine and if we claim to know the divine there should be some time for it. 

Do you get it what Baba is telling us here or do we get it when thinking it over, what do you think? Did you notice that I didn't write you for some time, because my internet is not working at home or did you now even notice it? 

 

In spite of all your struggles, what has to go out of your hands will go. 

It means it will go, no matter what we struggle for, we have to let go, but someone who is that struggling he is not likely to let go. He is not even aware that he is struggeling and holding on to it. 

We should use Swami's words as he said in the dream as the man who is in our dreams to awake us and he said, 'use my words'. 

Why don't we use his words?

It has lots of advantages. He is always right and we cannot go wrong if we use his words and we have to think it over and we have to find that which is always from all angles right and it helps immensly to know his words. 

If we use his words, we think it over and listen to him, whatever Swami tells is based on Atma only and the highest reality, if we use our words it is based on the mind, therefore, we have to use his words to have the Atma in his words. 

Atma is beyond the mind. We cannot go wrong if we use his words, we are not in the mind and we have to think it over to get the meaning and we have to absorb, that means by doing it we get aware of our own self, it is strengthening our own self and we transcend the mind and the body consciousness by doing it. The mind cannot be aware of the higher self. By listening to Swami's words we get the reflection in our own self and that is how the expansion of consciousness grows. He compares it with a diamond, we have to see it from all sides and find the facet which is from all sides the same. That is what we do in the study circle. If we use his words, we cannot go wrong. 

He told me in the dream to use his words and that is what came out by it.  

Anyhow, he is telling us as that in spite of all our struggles, what has to go out of our hands will go anyhow.  

The body is like a water bubble. The mind is like a mad monkey. If you follow this mad monkey, you will get into trouble. In the same manner, if you believe in the body, you do not know when this body, which is like a water bubble, will burst. Nothing is permanent. 

Do we know it or do we think we know it? 

We should be very honest and very truthful and sincere in our thoughts. 

Without enthusiasm, courage, devotion, energy, readiness and sincerity nothing can be achieved. (Baba)

We think we know. The body has to die, but we don't know really and why not? Let's think it over. 

Someone who is able to focus day and night on things which will go anyhow there is no real value and only illusion, nobody would do that if we would know that it is illusion. We only do it if we don't know. 

We think we know, but reality is we don't know. We have not realized it. If we know we don't do it, if we don't know we go on anyhow and we think we know, but that is illusion, it is not real and it is not true.

 Nobody will do it if he has realized that it is an illusion only. 

Swami said to someone we met that he has a 'bad monkey mind', it means he is following that bad monkey mind and he got in trouble, long time ago, but he doesn't get it that he got in troubles, he finds faults with others and he thinks it is their mistakes and not his that he got into troubles. 

He is not even aware of it that his own bad monkey mind got him into troubles. 

Do we believe in the body? 

We do if we think day and night about stuff that is not real and only an illusion. 

We think we do not believe in the body, because he told us, but it is not true, if we have not realized it.  

Living with that felt like a dark place and it got always darker and he destroyed the values of ife and it felt all like senseless, nothing made sense anymore really, but we still always defended him, because we had met in the ashram and it seemed impossible that it could happen and if it did there had to be a reason as it seemed.  

Nothing is permanent. 

If we don't listen to Swami's words, we get into troubles. If we listen to his words, we are not in the mind, we have to think it over and by doing that we get able to absorb in in our own self and that is beyond the mind and the body and that is how we get aware of our own self, if we don't do it, we don't get aware of it and that is why it results in self-realization. 

With other words, if we don't listen to him, we are in the mind. The mind is never on the level of the self and cannot get it, it has to go beyond the higher self and that happens when we transcend the mind and the body and in listening to his words is a process of self-enquiry, we look at it from all sides like the diamond and there is only one facet that is right always and that we have to find, it is the same in the study circle. 

He said that I had married the father in the dream, who is the father? 

I have to not only see it from all sides like we do in the study circle, but it has to be experienced and at that moment I was kind of surprised and I thought, the father, why the father? Nothing seemed like the father and really in no way like him, it means I didn't know my father really and that was even more scary. 

I had no idea why he said that, but with time it has changed.  

Not yet long time ago I had forwarded a copy and it said in the dream that he will never forget it. What does it mean he will never forget it? 

What did I write what he never could forget? 

It was not about what I wrote or didn't write, but about 'not forgetting it'. How do we get to the right insight?

It seemed it had nothing at all to do with my father. 

But he said in the dream that I should send him the bill, the question is what is the bill and it was disturbing the experience I had during singing and he was responsible for that disturbance and that is why I should send him the bill, that is what I think, getting that insight and that is what we did, but it still doesn't tell us why bill and what the bill is, doesn't it? It doesn't tell us if it is about money or about Karma or about both, it doesn't tell us why, it doesn't tell us how and it doesn't tell us how much, it just talks about the bill, no matter what and without doing it and making it a personal experience we don't get the right answer.

In doing it we will get the right experience, in putting it into practice, it means with Swami's words, 'follow the master, fight to the end, finish the game'. 

That is why we sent it and it doesn't matter what it was, but the reaction of the man in the dream matters as he said, 'he will never forget', in the dream he said he will never forget'. 

It felt like a matter of revenge and danger. Thus I don't do it anymore. It doesn't mean it was wrong before, it means it has changed now. 

Anyhow he is not interested in it and he doesn't listen. What we realize is that he is not aware of the bad monkey mind, even if Swami told him in person and how goes on ignoring it, blaming others for it. 

There was a dream with my father. I hardly ever had dreams of my father, but in that dream he wanted to shoot me and I managed somehow to take away the gun and I pointed it fully at him and shot twice in the air as warning and then I threw it away and it was in a sewer tunnel, it was like an underworld underneath the earth. 

But I knew he would search for it and if he would find it, he would want to kill me again and I should not go back and that is how the Karma got back on him, we didn't care about going back and that was the same what he said in the dream of the child, that her father was stupid and if she would go back to him as he is destroying himself, he would destroy her as well. 

The father has to do with not going back and that is the same. 

There was in the dream a couple, he had long blond hair and he moved forward in an aggressive way, that was the same, that aggressive eve if we didn't see it at the outside, he was pretending that he knew everything, that is aggressive and taking advantage of it. He didn't care if it was true or not, if it was Swmi's message or not. If we go on thinking it over we are able to absorb in our own self. 

Afterwards the hair began to grow fast and it grew downwards towards the ground and he was transformed into something like an ugly zombie and a skeleton and fell into dust. The downwards hair seems to have to do with the mind as the mind goes downwards into the senses always and it fell into dust. 

When Baba left the body he dropped it and it fell into dust and he went upwards to divinity and on the top of the well was Krishna and his brother. 

It was above in Darshan and it said that 'I am real' and above the father was illusion in the air. 

The insight tells us that Baba dropped the body and he went up to the divine reality of Krishna and my father fell into dust, there was no divinity and only the mind and only illusion and that is natural law actually. 

And what about 'he will never forget', that is what made them similar, so he will also fall into dust as he never had a second thought about the divine and he is just focused on the body and the mind. 

Only the Atma (Self) is eternal and immortal. 'I', 'Self', 'God' are all different names by which the Atmaswarupa is called. God incarnated as Rama, Krishna, and the like, and underwent several difficulties to demonstrate great ideals. Finally, they too left the mortal coil. The physical bodies of the Avatars undergo changes, but the Divine Atma in their bodies remains the same. It is omnipresent, eternal and changeless. Divinity in all the human beings is one and the same.

If we think over Swami's words, we have to reflect on it, it is not just clear and done, if it would be done, it is the mind telling us that it is done, as it has to be absorbed into the higher self it cannot be done, it has to grow into self-realization. It is not done by the mind reading it, we have to learn to listen with our heart. 

Only the Atma (Self) is eternal and immortal. 'I', 'Self', 'God' are all different names by which the Atmaswarupa is called.

Did the man in your dream appear as the higher self? Or did he appear in the form of divinity?

The growing hair downwards to the floor seemed to be Karma and the reality of the mind going downwards into the earth on the body level and then he fell into dust. 

As Baba tells us, God we think, God we are, dust we think, dust we are. 

It grew downwards to the floor and that is the mind going downwards, it tells us that it is the mind, the mind is always going downwards into the senses and if the focus is day and night directed towards the mind, everything we think what is important around us is nothing but illusion, but it keeps the mind busy and we can even see it as duty to keep the mind busy, it is all the mind only. It is as Swami is telling us here, it has to go it will go anyhow, it is empty, it has not value, it is illusion and we think that it matters when in reality nothing of it matters, it is just a mirage of a reality we try to build to keep us busy to give our life a meaning when there is in reality no meaning to it.  

In spite of all your struggles, what has to go out of your hands will go.  

If we listen to Swami's words, we have to think it over.  

Baba is telling us, 'first discrimination, second see it in your own life and third go on no matter what obstacles are there'.  

What are your struggles? What has to go in spite of all the struggles and it will be taken out of your hands? 

That is the kind of question we ask in thinking it over. We don't need to answer, we just should think it over and go on thinking it over.  

The physical bodies of the Avatars undergo changes, but the Divine Atma in their bodies remains the same. It is omnipresent, eternal and changeless. Divinity in all the human beings is one and the same. 

We know everybody has to leave the body and also Baba left his body, but do we understand it? 

It is clear, he has left the body and the body fell into dust, what will happen when we die. It was the picture of death, the hair grew long to the earth and the body falls into dust, if we live illusiont. That is the message. 

I think he died, the hair growing long the Karma dragging him down into the earth. 

A terrible picture, we find it in the movie of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. 

Elsa betrays Donovan by deliberately giving him a golden chalice, which causes him to decay into dust upon drinking from it. Indy then uses his expert knowledge to find the true Grail, a plain cup of a carpenter, which the knight warns cannot be taken beyond the great seal at the temple's entrance. Indy fills the Grail with holy water and takes it to Henry, which they give to him to drink along with pouring the rest on his gunshot wound, instantly healing him.

 That is the very same way it felt in the inner view, the hair grew long to the floor when the body fell into dust, there are nicer dreams than that. 

It is the end of the movie and he also looked like a zombie first and turned into a skeleton and he feel into dust. 

If our life is based on illusion, dust we are, if our life is based on divinity, God we are that is Swami's message.  

I made the picture of the body falling into dust a big smaller as it is that ugly to look at and hopfully the internet will soon work again.
