Consciousness is itself of the nature of Knowledge. It is in itself the body of the Universe. It is the life in all beings. The entire universe is contained within Knowledge. Knowledge means Brahman and appearance means the universe. Experience is possible because of Consciousness. Therefore “you “means Consciousness and Consciousness is Knowledge. This means that you are in essence, Knowledge. Knowledge is Brahman, means you are “That “ . You are Brahman. Unless you know the primary cause of how the mind comes into being, it is not possible either to control the mind or make it stay happy. To know this is a mysterious thing. You will not be able to get hold of the mind if you try to find it. If you are adamant with the mind, it becomes double arrogant. Sadguru harnesses the mind subtly. Only he can do it. Except Sadguru nobody like to have a mind without any activity. The mind remains quiet, only in the vicinity of Reality and gets the Joy of Freedom. So long as there are false notions in the mind, or the hope of happiness, mind sufferers a repetition of sorrow. Those who want Self-Realization must have the complete conviction in the mind that nothing is true in this visible objective world. Then only one can stop to chase the mind and become free from bondage of the mind. Means become no mind. Then there is permanent happiness. When only “Pure Experience “is there, the trinity of the observer, observed and the act of observation comes into being, because of the mischief of the mind. The mind, which imagines the three worlds, cannot imagine the Self. If it tries to imagine about the Self, it ends. When the mind merges in the True Identity, then there is Realization of Self. But this is possible by the teachings of the Sadguru. If we have Self-Realization, then we must have the Sadguru in our life and we must follow Spiritual Devotional Practice as per his teachings. Then we can experience the peace, satisfaction, happiness and Liberation in this very life.
