It is the sadhana, the practice of surrender to soul, surrender to love, because the soul in its essence is love. It impulses this system to live in love. So when I softened one more into the knowing of the soul or the truth, I feel more and more that the asking is not really necessary, because then there's like, I don't know, like a pull or like a movement. Yeah, because I still have like this resistance of like asking, because it just brings me into this like mental confusion again, where I feel like I need to do something trying to find something. I just want to know if this is like, also like a way into you. It's not also like a way. It is the way. Generally what happens is that you start a practice in order to discipline yourself. You say, I'm going to ask the question. But you have both possibilities always to actually sense. It's about sensing. It's about feeling that impulse. And when you're not really able to feel your soul, you can ask the question also. So it's a part of that process. It's not always that you have to say, ask, ask, ask, ask. You'll go mad that way. It's a sadhana, which gives you various possibilities to tune away from the ego and into the truth. The main thing, though, is that you don't empower the ego by saying, I'm not this pain. I'm not that. I'm not that. By saying, I'm not that, you're already identifying with it, which is why it's an ego exercise to say, neti, neti, neti, neti is an experience, not a sadhana. It is not a sadhana. It is an experience along the path of self realization. The realization arises. I'm not that. I'm not this. But not because you have consciously separated from that as an observer, from all of the suffering, but because you've been in so much of a surrender that you understand that you are not the ego. It comes as an experience, not as a practice. So when you feel the impulse of the soul and you act from it from moment to moment, then that is the practice. Asking comes to establish that differentiation or the discernment, the Viveka Buddhi, use the Viveka Buddhi, the Viveka Shakti, the ability to discern simply to build muscle. You know, it's like you lift up the dumbbell and it gives you some muscle and then contours it after a while. But absolutely when that impulse comes, it doesn't come only because you've asked a question, but you ask the question to maintain discipline and you can do that when you feel that you're actually going too much into ego action, then you go back and you move into that state of asking. It's perfectly alright. The important thing is to know that you are this, to know that this is in surrender to that, and to live in that state of growing surrender. That is the base practice. Of course, there are many other practices, but this is what the main thing is. And that softness that grows into just being, it's being the instrument of this master. It's not I am, it's I am this, I am in surrender. And that's what gives the strength finally of being present, being contoured, being coherent, being materially coherent, being clear in your thinking, being master of the emotions and able to actually experience an emotion at will, not as a victim of being present here and now and vibrant and growing in your creativity, being more precise about that, that unity consciousness experience where you make a decision, I want to experience all of this in unity consciousness and it just happens. So this is as the consciousness expands, you're going to be asking questions from morning to night. It's a way of disciplining yourself to come down from your space, cadet career and descend into the body, into the this-ness of the body, into presence, into here and now, throw off your moonsault, kick off your moonboots and start to walk. That is what is being described here. That's the spirituality of the future, it is not going to be people asking who am I and things like that. That's from the last century, the neo-advaitin aberrations of Advaita Vedanta. Now it's about connecting with the soul and being in surrender and observing only to the point where the discerning between ego and soul happens and going with that truth. You are already actually operating from it as an impulse. That's what's happening to you. You just are not able to believe that it's real because you've been spacing out for six years or seven years. So it's taking your time to realize that you can actually walk without moonboots, that you don't need a moonsault to be able to breathe. You don't need an inbuilt respirator because you've been spacing out. Your system is getting used to being in this-ness and as you get used to this-ness, you'll be more and more this, you'll be more and more in surrender because you know surrender. When I see you here in front of me, I know your story, but even if I didn't know your story, there is surrender in this system. It's a growing surrender. It's materially, I can sense it. Everyone will feel it in you and the other. People know when someone's spaced out or when they are here and present and quiet and in surrender because when you're spaced out, you cannot be in surrender. When you're separating from the experience, when you're dis-identifying with the various experiences, you can't be in surrender because you're identifying with the soul, I am. If you are that, then what is this? You've descended back into yourself. One can feel it and it's growing. Even the look in your eyes are more compassionate. How can you be compassionate if you're spaced out? You cannot even relate to the person in front of you. There are a lot of people walking around here in Rishikesh that are so spaced out. The sweet people, it's not that, but how can there be compassion if you are not here? How? If you're disconnected from the experience and identifying with a supreme soul, which is actually not this, it's that, then how can you be this and identify with the dizziness of the other? Be compassionate to the dizziness of the other. That's the challenge and you're, from what I'm seeing, it's quite amazing actually. Even if you don't feel, you know, that it takes some years of practice to fully sit in it, of seva, of being in surrender to the soul, of trusting, trusting, trusting this, piercing beyond your Abrahamic inheritance of fear and guilt and, you know, oh, if I actually find the soul within, then what happens to God and Jesus and all of that stuff and am I being this loyal and all of these things will start to erupt and you have to pierce beyond it and then slowly move inward. The soul is not emptiness and silence. The soul is fullness and impulse. The cosmic soul is experienced as vastness and not as emptiness, but it's vastness, but this is experienced as impulse and fullness. So if you're going with that impulse, just go with it fearlessly. Take risks, see what happens, you know. There is no other way to live is there, than to live in this state of humility and surrender to the master within. I mean, any other state feels so much pain, suffering. So rather than detachment, it's surrender. Surrender is the magic word, not detachment. Even if all those gurus have said it, they've said it. They've said what they had to say, but the experience also has to be in its solidity for thisness because this is what is going on on this planet. Otherwise, if you are a, if you're identifying with supreme soul, then you can also leave the body and go there and do what you have to do there. Some spiritual masters, they, they went into states of samadhi and enlightenment states, but these are not states which are terrestrial and corporeal. So they are never here when they are there. They cannot be here. And if they're not here, then they're not with the thisness of this existence in a non-dual experience. So I feel that it's very, it's very real what's happening with you. I can feel it also. Just you have to have that trust that it's, yes, it's good, I'll go, I feel, I move, you know. I just sometimes feel like that they believe or when I'm like involved so much in a story or like an interaction with someone, then it's like difficult to, um, to really stay there or like to follow like the impulse and even like, because yeah, it feels like the, the imprint as you sometimes say is like so strong that I don't know how to stay away from this conditioning. Whenever you realize that the ego is trying to take over a situation, the way you know it's happening is if there is fear, if there is anger, these are the main signs. Oh, there's fear, it's the ego. Ah, there's anger, that's the ego. Ah, there's irritation, it's the ego. There is nothing to do about looking at it. It's about surrendering in that moment. Just very quickly just go into surrender state because what that does is it, it immediately removes the attention from the ego instead of saying, oh, that is not my anger. The moment you say that, you are already identifying with it. So it's not about is it my anger? Is it someone else's anger? Is it God's anger? Is it who's anger? You move into the state of surrender in that moment. That is the practice. That is the sadhana. If you say I can't do it, that means you can't take the practice in that moment, which means you train yourself to practice that in that moment. You know, there are people who sadhana, it is to stand on one leg and keep one arm up in the air. Go to the Kumbh Mela, you'll see sadhus, they are practice, they are sadhana, their gurus have told them Stand like this now. 10 years they'll wait like that. Then the guru will come by and say, how's it going? And then they say, yes, I've been standing for 10 years, can you give me some knowledge, Guru Dev? This is yes, but now you stand on the other leg, put the other hand up and then we'll see I'll come by, soon I'll be back. He doesn't know, will the guru come in 10 years, in 20 years or will he die standing with his hand up? That is sadhana, that is tapascharya, that is practice. So your sadhana, your practice, your tapascharya, if you take up this practice is to catch it when the anger comes and not to say, this is not my anger. It's to say, there's anger, oh master of the being, I'm your instrument, I'm your instrument. And the anger is gone in that moment, that is the sadhana, that's how you get jathar agni, that's how you build up your shakti. All of you know these words, you build it up like that. Then again it starts, again it rears its head, again you say no, surrender. You don't say, this is not me, that is not me, or I am, so that is not me. You don't even have to look at it, you don't have to talk about yourself in connect with the ego, but you move into surrender. So to say, I can't do it, it's like that sadhu standing, this is now I can't stand on one leg, I'm going to put my leg down. He has to start the ten year practice again. Even after six years if he puts his leg down, he has to start all over again. So it is each moment pulling yourself to this moment and surrendering in that moment. That is the sadhana here, it is the sadhana, the practice of surrender to soul, surrender to love, because the soul in its essence is love. It impulses the system to live in love. So if you want to live in love, you have to bend down to the soul and go with it. And that's the practice life long. It's not about now I've reached self-realization, now I'm going to put a halo around my head and float two feet above the ground with diaphanous wings. Self-realization is not like enlightenment. Enlightenment is a before and after. And almost everybody who has enlightenment doesn't want it once they have it. Then they say, now what? I want to reverse it or I want to come back down into reality. As you know, so many enlightened masters have come to these satsangs and asked, now what to do? I mean that state, what to do? What to do is take off the moon suit, get back into here and now, into thisness, into reality, into surrender to the soul, not surrender to the Guru. You can surrender to the Guru, but that's not where it ends. The Guru has to point you to the soul. Where is he pointing you or she? Surrender to what? It doesn't end with the surrender to the Guru, no? It starts with the surrender to the parents, then they show you the Gods, then it's surrender to the Gods, then the Gods show you the Gurus. Then it's surrender to the Gurus and then the Gurus show you the Anathar Guru which is the final destination. So if you're going and surrendering to a Guru and you haven't found your soul, then there's a problem. And it's not about cosmic soul, it's about individualized terrestrial material soul. So that practice will deepen and it'll deepen and it'll deepen and the deeper you bend, the deeper it deepens, I am an instrument. I am the instrument. Say, I, Francisca, am the instrument of the Master, of the soul. Then it's more like this experience of this is the instrument and then it's surrender and it's surrender and then it's the experience of instrument, instrument. Just acting from the impulse, karma from the impulse and at one point there is no identity here that is actually here but it is doing from the impulse of the soul in surrender not in identification and then so it will take a deepening of practice, yes. But at least you don't have to stand on one leg for ten years. Would you like to do that? Sometimes it would be easier. Yes, I actually see what you mean. It is sometimes easier. I sometimes think it would be easier to tell people to stand on one leg than to surrender to the soul. But I won't be telling you that. I won't be telling you to stand on one leg. I'm telling you stand on both feet. Be present, be here and now. Tune in to the Master within. Observe in this moment is the ego impulsing this action or is the truth, the soul, the antaratman, the antar guru and then you feel go with the antar guru on both feet. No need to stand only on one. After her you can come. For six intense days, immerse yourself in an amazing process. Tune in to the all-knowing source within you. Master yourself, empower others.
