Ultimate Truth

INTRODUCTION

Ultimate Truth consists of 3 parts: Talks from Ranjit Ashram in Nashik, India, between March and November 2017, and Talks from the Master’s U.S.A. visit in 2016. (Bold text is used to hammer home the teachings.) The final section, How the Master Changed my Life contains personal sharings, from seekers, whose lives have been transformed forever, by Maharaj’s teachings.

There are around 250 questions. Those ultimate, and fundamental, questions of our existence, as well as the more commonplace, everyday ones, are answered with uncompromising power, clarity and directness, that leave nothing to the imagination. There is no hiding place from Truth!

These profound teachings, that take the reader beyond knowledge, are conveyed in a simple, light and effective way. Ultimate Truth leaves no stone unturned, so that all the questions that are posed by seekers, are finally exhausted. How to achieve Self-Realization is presented simply, and logically, flavoured with the Master’s own unique brand of humour!

Our most humble and compassionate Master, tirelessly shared these teachings, again and again, expecting nothing in return. He had one wish only: to put an end to our needless suffering, once and for all! Even in His final talk, when he was visibly frail, and his voice was very feeble, his focus remained steadfast: liberation for his devotees. With great poignancy, he pleaded: Please accept the Reality.

We humbly bow, with deep and overflowing gratitude, at the feet of our Great Master, Sri Ramakant Maharaj. Ultimate Truth is a timely gift to the world!

Talks from Nashik

March to November 2017

THE DIAGNOSIS

"You are posing as a somebody, a something, and you are trying to live within

the circle of illusory concepts. And because of this, life is painful.

It is intolerable."

Sri Sadguru Ramakant Maharaj

1. Who wants happiness and peace?

The body does not want happiness and peace. Spirit does not want happiness and peace. So, who wants happiness and peace? When the Spirit touched with the body, the concepts began to appear. They started creeping in, and growing, one by one. Prior to beingness, there were no concepts, no language, and no words, such as peace, happiness Spirit or Presence. There was nothing. Who is going to be looking for happiness and peace, after leaving the body? Everything comes from nothing, and everything goes back to nothing. This Reality must be established within you. Many seekers can talk very knowledgeably about Brahman, Atman, Paramatman, God and the Masters, but they do not have any Self-knowledge! This kind of intellectual, or theoretical entertainment, is completely meaningless.

Who wants happiness? Does the body-form want happiness? Does the Spirit or Presence? Who wants happiness? Find out! Who is enjoying happiness? Who is expecting peacefulness? Who is under the pressure of fear? You must find out, because unless you undergo Self-enquiry or Self-investigation, and receive answers to these questions, you will not be able to identify yourself. And, sadly, you will continue with your tragic and painful, illusory life.

Roaming here and there, from Kanyakumari, to the Himalayas, and approaching endless Masters, without using any discrimination whatsoever, is totally meaningless, and it is such a waste of your time and energy. Reading countless books is also meaningless. Why? Because the Source of this world lies within you. You Are the Source of This World. But you do not know, that you are the Source. You are unaware of your spiritual existence. You are unaware of your immensity.

Whatever knowledge you may have, and whatever you may be doing to find happiness, is coming from your body-base. It is coming from your I am the body-form stance. You consider yourself to be the body-form, and therefore, your search is driven by the ego, which has assumed the pose of a separate individual. Accumulating knowledge only serves to enlarge the ego. Sometimes, you will experience temporary relief from the stresses of life, but this relief is only temporary because your base, your viewpoint, your perspective is body-based, and therefore, illusion. It is a fact, that the body is not your identity at all.

What is the purpose of spirituality? Prior to beingness, there was no spirituality. After the body expires, there will be no spirituality either. Find out how your spirituality is helping you – if, it is, in fact, helping you! What is your conclusion, after reading and studying all these books? There must be a conclusion. Don’t just keep reading and reading. You Have Read All the Books, But, You Have Not Read the Reader.

It is pointless to keep reading and reading, without identifying the Reader. Identify the Reader! Identify the Searcher! What are you looking for? Who is looking? What are you getting out of spirituality? There must be a conclusion. Is your knowledge practical knowledge? Will it stop you shaking and trembling on your deathbed? How deep does it go? Find out!

I am not telling you to stop reading books, or to stop visiting Masters. I am asking you to try and identify yourself. Ask yourself, Who wants all these things? That Unidentified Identifier is Already Within You. But we have forgotten our true identity. When the Spirit touched with the body, all your discomfort and dis-ease began. And so, your expectations for happiness suddenly arose. In India, we give honey to the young children. We give them something sweet, to make them feel better when they are upset or crying. Similarly, we try to make ourselves feel better using different means: comfort food, comforting relationships, stimulating company, family support, etc. We find whatever we can, to ease our discomfort, and ameliorate our suffering.

We carry with us some illusory hope, that we can obtain happiness from this illusory world. That is an impossibility!

Unless you try to identify your Selfless Self, you will not be able to find real happiness, true happiness.

Where were such words as happiness and peacefulness prior to beingness? The Spirit, or Presence, that is acting within the body, does not need these. Spirit does not need anything. We have so many needs and wants, simply because we consider ourselves to be separate body-forms with separate identities: I am the body. I am somebody. I am Chinese. I am Indian. I am Japanese, or whatever. This is not your identity at all. To identify yourself in a real sense, a process of reciting the Mantra and meditation is essential. With this practice, you will regain your Original Identity, called Brahman, Atman, Paramatman, God, Master, That you are! And, after Spontaneous Conviction, you will be able to face any challenge head-on. Nothing will be able to touch you because you will know, truly know, that you have nothing to do with this illusory world. You will be solid, immovable, and established in your own status, your true status of Ultimate Truth.

How were you prior to beingness? And, how will you be when you leave the body? You were formless, stateless, thoughtless. That Stateless State is your real Identity, your pure Identity. The outcome of the meditation practice, and consistent hammering is a return to your original state. This state has always been there. It has never altered. It cannot change because it is changeless. You have been unaware of your true nature because of the body-form, which covered over your Presence with layers of illusion.

When all the concepts of fearlessness, happiness, unhappiness, depression, tension, etc, etc, disappear spontaneously, you will be in that Original Stateless State – the way you were prior to beingness. The true purpose of spirituality is the removal of ignorance. Spiritual knowledge dissolves and demolishes all the body-based concepts. At present, you are not able to identify yourself. Instead, you are identifying yourself in the body-form, as the body-form. This is not your identity at all. The Naam Mantra is required to dissolve all the concepts. It will establish your true identity within you.

Reciting the Mantra will bring about miraculous changes. For example, currently, if someone criticizes you, you may feel upset and hurt. However, after Spontaneous Conviction arises, whether someone praises you, or abuses you, will be of no consequence whatsoever to you. Any castigations that are made in your direction, will just wash over you. You will remain untouched, and non-reactive, at all times, because you will know, not even know, but you will be convinced, that, I am not the body. I was not the body. I am not going to remain the body.

Adopting this new stance, and altering your whole perspective, means that you will have no cause to worry about anything ever again. There will be no more suffering. How will this be possible? Because you will know, that you have nothing to do with this whole illusory world. When you are convinced that you are separate from the world, you will be able to live like that. This knowledge is not theoretical knowledge, it is practical knowledge, that is to be applied to your daily life.

Having said that, even though you have nothing to do with the body-form, this does not mean that you are to neglect your body. Not at all! Take good care of your body and attend to its needs. Your parents and relatives, your work, and your ability to earn, are all part of your bodily existence, your earthly life. Live a simple and normal life. Work is necessary to earn money, otherwise you will not be able to survive. Don’t be a beggar, and expect, or demand money from anyone. Stand on your own two feet.

While you are attending to your routine, daily life, and to your physical health, it is most important that you attend to your spiritual health too. Be passionate! Have that burning desire to find out, Who am I? That is the question. That is the main question: If I am not the body, if I was not the body, if I am not going to remain the body, then, who am I?

The Questioner, is Itself, the Ultimate Truth, the Final Truth. The Invisible Questioner is the Answer. The Invisible Questioner has been called Brahman, Atman Paramatman, or God. Who, or what, is that Brahman, Atman, Paramatman? It cannot be defined. It is nameless. It can be compared to the space or the sky. Your Presence is just like the space or sky, but you are subtler, even more subtle than that. You are formless, omnipresent.

After Spontaneous Conviction: I am not the body. I was not the body. I am not going to remain the body, your Original Identity will be exposed. And then, in spite of living in this illusory world, you will remain unconcerned with the world. This is the purpose of spirituality.

2. Why is there fear?

It is the nature of the Spirit, because the Spirit only knows itself through the body-form. The Spirit does not know that, I am Spirit. Presence does not know that, I am Presence. It knows itself only through the body-form. It is attached to the body, and therefore wishes to continue with the known, ie, life in the body, for as long as possible. For example, say, you poured water over a few ants, they would immediately start running away, looking for an escape. Why? Because even the smallest, and the subtlest Presence, wants its body to survive. It is the nature of Spirit or Presence because the body-form is all that it knows, either as a man or a woman, animal, insect or some other being.

You fear losing the body because you have identified with it, and accepted it, as your Reality. The body is not permanent. It is not your Reality. You do not know yourself. You may know many things, but you do not know yourself. Spirituality teaches you how to identify, and know yourself in a real sense. Spirituality gives you the knowledge, so that you can emerge from ignorance.

We know ourselves in the body-form, and that is illusion. But, at the same time, don’t neglect your body, or your duties.

Carry out your responsibilities. If you are a businessman or an employee, or, if you have a family, attend to the tasks at hand. Attend to your responsibilities. However, at the same time, during the course of this life, try to identify yourself. Try to find the answer to the question, Who am I? Know yourself in a real sense.

Some day or other, willingly or unwillingly, you will leave the body, and the body will embark, on its last journey to the cemetery! But, the good news is that you are not the body. The Conviction that you are not the body will arise spontaneously, and then you will be free from any fears associated with the concept of death.

After Conviction, you will know that the body-form was never your identity, and will never be your identity. There is nothing to fear. What have you to fear? Who is afraid? Your fearful thoughts will pass. Don’t struggle with them! Let them go!

Meditation will bring your struggles to an end, so that all your fears will disappear for good. Spirituality gives you the strength and courage, the power and the energy, to live life free of struggle, to live life spontaneously. Live life bravely. Live with your light. Live by that light. Live as that light. Don’t be a coward! You will leave the body one day. No one can escape from this fate. So, prepare for that day! This is the idea behind spirituality, and the meditation practice because through meditation, all the illusory concepts, such as death, and the fear of death, will simply dissolve.

What is meditation? It means non-stop recitation of the Naam Mantra. This priceless Mantra came from Dattatreya. Theoretically, we know that, "I am Brahman", but theory is not sufficient. Literal knowledge or bookish knowledge is not enough because theoretical knowledge can easily be forgotten. Therefore, material knowledge, literal knowledge, or dry knowledge, will not help you.

Be practical! Practicality is most important. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj carried on working in his shop, till he was 70 or 75 years old. He did not leave his job, or abandon his duties, saying, Oh I am a spiritual man. I am a Master. I will not continue with my business. No! I was also working in a bank.

Stand on your own feet, and don’t depend on anyone else. Don’t depend on body-based knowledge, or, on your routine life. Don’t depend on spirituality outside of you either, because spirituality is inbuilt in you. You are already a spiritual man, or a spiritual woman. You are not the body-form. Why, therefore, do you wish to go here, and there, in search of spirituality?

So, Be With You all the time. You must find the courage to stay away from bad company, or those elements that can have a negative influence on you, and as a result, distract you from your Reality.

There are so many teachers and Masters in the world today, who charge vast amounts of money for their spiritual talks. I am not criticizing them, but, it is happening. Here, we are not running a business, or trying to profiteer from seekers. There is absolutely no commercialization of spirituality. Our Lineage places great emphasis on sharing this knowledge, free of charge. We are not withholding anything. We are sharing all the knowledge. How can you charge for knowledge that is yours! It is your innate knowledge.

We are pointing out that except your Selfless Self, there is no God. This is direct knowledge. It is very, very simple knowledge. All these Lineage Masters have shared the same, very basic, and simple knowledge, that there is nothing except your Selfless Self. So, why are you still going elsewhere to find your identity? Where is Peter? Where is John? [laughter] You are here, and nowhere else.

That which you have been searching for, is Itself the Ultimate Truth. Ultimate Truth is not separate from you. Be strong! Be spiritually strong – not egotistically strong. When you are spiritually invincible, (and physically strong), no one, absolutely no one, will be able to impress you with his own ideas or concepts.

When you know yourself in a real sense, it does not matter where you live. You can be anywhere in the world, living as the Ultimate Truth that you are. You need not go searching again. If you have sufficient time, you can visit this ashram. You don’t need to stay for lengthy periods. Just remember, that you don’t have to travel to Ranjit Ashram, [often referred to as Nashik Ashram] because Wherever You Are, There is Your Ashram. You may be living in a large townhouse, or you may be living in a small cottage, somewhere out in the country. Where you are is of no consequence. Your ashram is with you at all times, wherever you go.

You do not need a variety of exercises to identify yourself. All you need for Conviction is strict meditation. This practice is most important. It is the foundation. Through it, you will truly know that you are not the body-form. With this Conviction, all your fears will melt away, because you will no longer be attached to the body-form. You will know that deep down, at the very core of your being, you are eternal. You are unborn. There is no death for you. There is only death for the five element body.

3. Why is life so painful?

I am depressed and worried

You find life miserable and intolerable because you have become a slave of your mind. Was there any depression, worry or pain, prior to beingness, prior to the body-form? Was there any anger? No! There was nothing. And, when the body expires, what will be left? We keep trying to extract happiness, from many different external sources because we find our body-based-knowledge unbearable.

The gist of spirituality is: "Except your Selfless Self there is no God, no Brahman, no Atman". You are Atman. You are Paramatman. You are God! This means that everything is to be found within you. Happiness is not to be found in this illusory world. It is to be found in you because you are the Source of happiness. You do not know that You are Almighty God.

Directly, or indirectly, you are considering yourself to be the body-form. The body-form is not your identity at all. You are basically formless. It is an open fact. Prior to beingness, or, say, prior to a hundred years, you had no form. You had no knowledge about yourself. You did not know yourself at all. But now, because of the body-form, you know, that you are.

When the body eventually expires, dissolves or disappears, the known will dissolve back into the unknown. There will not be any trace of your identity left. Where will your pain, or depression be then? Who wants peace? Who wants a tension-free life? Who wants a fearless life? All these requirements exist because life in the body is, in fact, unstable and unbearable.

Why is a Master needed? Because you have forgotten your Identity. In order to have the Conviction that you are not the body, meditation is needed. Reading books, and listening to various Masters is not enough. It is only dry spirituality, dead spirituality. It is not practical spirituality. Here, we are teaching practical spirituality. Don’t abandon your work and family for spirituality. Your routine life and spirituality can co-exist perfectly. Be normal! Be humble! Live as a good human being. And, at the same time, try to identify yourself. This human body is such a golden opportunity to identify yourself in a real sense. Be careful not to miss out, and lose this valuable time, this wonderful opening, to find out who you really are.

Be firm! Be courageous and accept your Reality. I am placing Reality before you because your body-identity is temporary. You must be brave! Have courage! Yes, of course, there may be some depression or worry, and other calamities that may come your way, but even with these difficulties, know that they are only passing clouds. They are temporary bodily vibrations.

Don’t become a victim of your own self-created psychology, worrying all the time: Oh! What will happen? What if this happens? What if that happens? Nothing is happening. Nothing has ever happened, and nothing is going to happen because there is no doer, and there is no deed. You are not the doer. You have not done anything. You are unborn! Fact! Accept it!

Your Presence is like the sky or space. The sky does not know that it is the sky. Does it announce itself in this way, I am sky? The sky does not have any family members. Does the sky have a wife, a mother, or a father? Similarly, you are everywhere, like the sky. In fact, you are subtler than the sky because you can identify it. As you are listening to what I am saying just now, you may not believe it to be true, but in time, you will.

Don’t be anxious or depressed. You are unaware of your value, your true worth. You have great importance. Your Presence is Invaluable Presence. Your greatness lies within you, but you are ignoring it, neglecting it. You are underestimating yourself, always worrying, Oh, dear! What is going to happen to me? You are worried about the past, the future, or the present. And it is all a waste of your energy because there is no past, no present, and no future! These are the concepts. Nothing has ever happened. These are just the concepts, that we have blindly accepted. You can erase them now!

Don’t depend on anyone, or anything, outside of yourself. There is no need to say, Oh God bless me, because you are already whole and complete. You are completely independent. A Master is needed because you have forgotten your Identity. Your Spontaneous Presence is itself your Master. Your Spontaneous Invisible Presence within this body is the Master. I am placing this open fact before you. It is your Truth. Therefore, don’t torture yourself with pain, guilt or worry. Be brave! Have some guts! Everything comes and goes. It may be good or bad. Forget it all! Do not give so much importance to everything. Instead, find out how to come out of all these illusory circumstances.

To make this human life bearable, you have to identify yourself. You need not go anywhere to find yourself. Try to please your own Inner Master. The Master is within you. The Finder Itself is the Master. Read Selfless Self, I Am That, and other spiritual books, like Master of Self-Realization. They will help you. They are really good books for spiritual information and spiritual identification. They will help your Conviction.

A lack of confidence is causing your spiritual malaise. Be brave, and try to find stability. You are lacking in confidence and willpower. Don’t underestimate yourself. Be confident: Yes! I can do it! Nothing is going to stop me. Confidence is most important in life. Discard everything: I am not the body. I was not the body. I am not going to remain the body. And in time, whenever problems arise, they will not sting you, because you will be convinced that they are related to the body only – and you are not that! Whatever appears to be going on, is going on with the body, and therefore, cannot touch you. When you know that everything is illusion, you will find yourself forgiving and forgetting, anything and everything, that happens in your life. You will notice, an increase in tolerance and patience, as well as many other changes taking place.

We are worried and depressed, because we are measuring ourselves in the body-form. We have mistakenly accepted the body-form as our identity. This should be erased, dissolved. Everything will melt with meditation.

Meditation is needed at the initial stage. The Spirit is very sensitive, so when it is hammered with, "I am Brahman. Brahman I am, over and over, again and again, a purification process takes place. You are hammering the ego, and saying, You are a liar! You are not male or female, you are Brahman!. This is how the Naam Mantra works. With repetition, the illusory layers that have covered your Reality over a lifetime, are gradually, and effectively removed. After continuous hammering, eventually, you will come to the realization: Yes! I Am That! Why worry? Why be depressed? Everything is illusion. It is all a dream, a long dream. And you will laugh at yourself, pondering and reflecting on your life, asking, "Who was in pain? Who was depressed? Who was worried?

In the morning, we chant: "Shivoham Shivoham which reminds us that everything is illusion. There is no Master, no disciple, no father, no mother. You have nothing to do with this illusory world. Shankaracharya says, To say ‘I’ is illusion, to say ‘you’ is illusion, to say ‘Brahman’ is also illusion". The entire world is illusion, therefore, considering yourself as the body-form is also illusion.

You may have accepted that you are not the body-form, but maybe only intellectually. This knowledge must be absorbed, and then there will be Spontaneous Conviction. There will be no more pain, depression or worries.

4. Why can’t I find happiness and peace?

There is always tension and fear around us because we are not identifying ourselves in a real sense. Since childhood till today, we have been identifying ourselves, as men and women. We have been trying to know ourselves, using the body-form. This mistaken identity, this illusion that you are the body-form, must dissolve. You may have some knowledge about Reality, that you are Brahman, but your knowledge is only literal knowledge. Knowledge of your Reality must be absorbed, and the only way this will happen, is through meditation. Meditation is essential. It is the base, the foundation.

What is meditation? It does not mean sitting cross-legged, with your eyes closed, nor does it mean reciting the Naam Mantra in a mechanical fashion. What is needed is your total involvement. Self-involvement will bring you closer and closer to Selfless Self.

You are to accept what the Master says, so that, slowly, silently and permanently, all the bodily effects that have obscured your Reality over a lifetime, will dissolve. Then, all your unhappiness, dispeace and irritation will simply melt away. Your troubling, illusory concepts will dissolve with meditation.

At present, you are posing yourself as a human form, when, basically, you are formless. In the beginning, you will need to put some effort into the meditation, until it happens spontaneously. The time will come when it will continue by itself, without your knowledge.

At the Ultimate Stage, you will forget about your whole illusory identity. And, in spite of holding the body, and attending to your work, and many other tasks, you will not be concerned about anything, even little dramas or big crises that come your way. And not only that, you will find that you experience exceptional happiness, and exceptional peace. You will no longer need to search for happiness from material sources, as you did previously.

Who am I? This is the most important question. Be serious, not casual! This human body offers a golden opportunity, to identify yourself in a real sense. But if your approach is a casual, half-hearted one, then, once more, you may see a similar type of dream. [dream refers to the concept of rebirth. There is no rebirth]

This is to be your last dream! Make it your last! We have become victims of our own concepts. These body-based concepts are to be erased, and permanently dissolved. The purpose of spirituality is to know yourself in a real sense. Spirituality invites the attention of the Listener within you. It indicates your Reality, that: "except for your Selfless Self there is no God, No Brahman, no Atman".

Be strong! Be serious! Some visitors come here, and take the Naam Mantra. They listen to the Talks, but then... nothing! Because they are lacking faith and confidence, they are soon back on the road again, travelling, here and there, Guru-hopping. They are looking for more, looking for something else. There is nothing more. There is nothing else. You Are Final Truth.

There has to be a full stop! You have reached the destination. Everything is within you. I am repeatedly saying: Except Your Selfless Self, There is no God, no Brahman. Why Keep Travelling, When You Are the Destination?

Everything is Within You. You Are The Central Point of this Universe. Happiness and peace, are to be found within you alone, because you are the Source of happiness and peace.

5. Why is my peace disturbed?

Because directly or indirectly, you are posing as a somebody. You think that you are an individual, a separate person, a separate entity, an individual. The ego says, Oh, she is disturbing me, or, he is verbally attacking me. You are living as if you are a separate individual, and reacting to others, as if they are individuals too. There is Peace. You Are Disturbing the Peace.

You are Presence! You are not the body. That Presence is within the body. There is not my Presence, and your Presence. There is only One Presence. It is the same Presence that is everywhere. If you want to compare yourself to something, compare yourself to the sky. You are everywhere just like the sky. There is no difference between the speaker in this body, and the listener in that body over there. Accept Reality! It is your Reality. It takes courage to accept Reality because it demands a letting go, of everything that you have previously taken for real.

There is no past life, no future life, no hell, no heaven, because you are not a doer. Without a doer, there can be no deed. Some people say that because of their previous bad deeds, they have taken birth as a man or a woman, etc. This is nothing but imagination, concepts, illusion. There is nothing. There is no birth. There is no death. You are unborn. We are talking about the fate of the unborn child.

Take up the challenge, and accept Reality. Don’t be a coward, worrying, Oh what is going to happen? Oh, what if he hurts me, or what if I lose my job? You are not helpless. Be bold and fearless: Yes! I can do it!. Age is not a barrier to Self-Realization. It is not an excuse: "Oh, I am an old man.

What is going to happen to me?, or, I cannot change". Spirit has no age. Is the sky one, or two hundred years old? Your Presence is ageless. Our age is only connected to the body.

To know yourself in a real sense requires total and complete involvement. Devote some time for yourself, so that you can meditate, for at least, one, two or three hours per day. All these saints devoted about ten hours a day to meditation. But nowadays, this is not possible. If you don’t have much time, at least manage one hour. In the beginning, practice is essential. Afterwards, it will not be necessary. When you first begin the practice, your mind will rebel against you, and not give you any peace. Just ignore these disturbances, and keep going.

The mind, the ego, and the intellect are there because of this body-form. Prior to beingness, they did not exist. Yet, we always give them so much importance, proudly stating: My great mind, or my superior intellect. But consider what is going to happen to the mind, the ego, and the intellect when the body expires? Everything will disappear. You are not the mind, the ego or the intellect. Everything came out of nothing, and everything will dissolve within nothing. You need spiritual courage to accept this knowledge, to surrender everything that you have known. I can do it, says my Master. "My Master says that I am Brahman, therefore, I am Brahman".

To illustrate the strength of the ego and its identification with concepts, let’s say that someone called you a donkey [ass]. You would immediately feel like reacting aggressively. Correct? Why? Because you are insulted. The ego has taken a bruising. You have accepted the words and their meanings. Yet, when the Master says, "you are Brahman", you will not accept that. Accept what the Master says. Nothing is impossible. Impossible is a word in the dictionary of fools! You are not a fool. Nothing is impossible!

You are not a doer. You cannot do any deed. But still, you continue to carry the burden of your human life. Change your view, change your perspective, and then, everything will be peaceful. There will be no tension! When you stop viewing yourself as a human being, there will be peace. Identify yourself: Who Am I? You are neither a man, nor a woman. You are Brahman. You are Ultimate Truth, which is not separate from you. Be realized, and make others realized. Come out of the darkness of ignorance!

6. Why are these bad thoughts coming?

Thoughts are flowing all the time. This is the nature of the body-form. The mind is a factory that manufactures thoughts. But because we are struggling with them, we get irritated. Don’t struggle with the thoughts. Accept the thoughts which are useful for your routine life. Otherwise, throw them out. It is very simple. Dissolve all these illusory concepts, and then your entire lifestyle will change.

This is plain knowledge, plain Truth. The language I am using here is very simple language, very basic language. Even if you think about it logically and intellectually, you can see Reality. You know, the Reality that is there. This body is not your identity at all. Some day or other, willingly or unwillingly, we will all have to leave our bodies. Try to identify yourself, and then you will feel secure, knowing that there will not be any more dreams like this one.

You are to discard all the concepts, including, "I am Brahman. Brahman is also a concept because prior to beingness, you did not know, I am Brahman, or I am Atman". These particular words only appeared with the body-form, after the Spirit touched with the body. There was no language prior to beingness. We created language. It is illusion. We have created so many spiritual words such as Brahman, Atman, Paramatman, God, Master. Prior to beingness, you did not know one single word. You did not know anything because you did not know yourself. It is a fact that, You are Totally Formless. As of today, you are formless. Listen
