does soul exist soul yes who soul and
0:14
one more what is the purpose of life
0:24
you're just asking very big questions
0:26
without understanding the significance
0:29
of the
0:30
question see when you ask does soul
0:33
exist you're not talking about an
0:36
academic
0:38
subject you're asking what is the nature
0:41
of who I am or you're saying I don't
0:44
know a damn thing about myself please
0:46
tell
0:47
me yes isn't
0:50
it you are asking this very easily
0:53
because you have not been touched by the
0:55
pain of ignorance the pain of not
0:58
knowing who you are it has not torn you
1:02
apart if it really touches you that
1:05
you're just living here doing all kinds
1:08
of nonsense without knowing the ABC of
1:11
who you are it should be very painful
1:14
isn't it that pain has not yet touched
1:17
you your mouthing
1:20
questions is not sunk deep
1:23
enough so every day you must remind
1:27
yourself at least spend 10 minutes in
1:28
the morning just see what an utter idiot
1:32
you are you don't know anything about
1:34
yourself but you're busy with all kinds
1:36
of nonsense in your life
1:39
every day just 10 minutes remind
1:42
yourself as intensely as possible your
1:45
ignorance of
1:46
yourself then slowly the pain will
1:49
sink when it becomes so painful that you
1:53
can't bear it knowing will not be far
1:56
away it's one
1:59
moment if I say yes you have a
2:04
soul but can you walk better
2:08
what use is the soul did they put any
2:10
kind of utility to the soul these two
2:13
are useful that other soul that they're
2:16
talking about is it of any
2:18
use it's of no use so don't talk about
2:22
it and if I tell you it is there what
2:24
does it do to you if I tell you no it
2:26
doesn't exist what does it do to you
2:29
nothing isn't it only thing is the next
2:32
dinner party that you go you can
2:34
entertain people around you talking
2:35
about the soul
2:37
but as far as your existence is
2:39
concerned nothing changes isn't it so
2:42
yes nothing at all will change isn't
2:45
it so if you're asking the
2:48
question fundamentally you're asking
2:51
question what am I who am
2:53
I when you are here are you alive you're
2:58
alive when you are here
3:00
alive what is the way to know who you
3:02
are
3:05
is it not really ridiculous and insane
3:07
that you must ask me please tell me who
3:09
am
3:11
I this is like two psychiatrists were
3:14
walking on the Kovaleum beach one
3:21
day one of them looked at the other up
3:24
and down and said "You seem okay how am
3:28
I
3:34
this is just like that isn't it you're
3:36
sitting here you're alive you're
3:39
existing and you're asking me "Who am I
3:41
what am
3:43
I?" Is it not ridiculous very ridiculous
3:47
isn't
3:47
it only thing is the majority is with
3:51
you that's the only comfort which has
3:53
not allowed you to know the pain of
3:57
ignorance you have a huge majority of
3:59
people around you who are all saying yes
4:01
this is the way to be
4:04
yes that is the only thing which has
4:07
given you some comfort suppose you are
4:09
the only man on the planet who does not
4:12
know who you are everybody else
4:13
knows you know how it would be for you
4:17
yes you don't know who you are you're
4:19
busy in the world does it make any sense
4:21
or does it sound like
4:25
madness insanity isn't it but the
4:28
comfort is you're in a huge asylum where
4:32
everybody's like
4:35
you so your problem is your existence
4:39
itself right now is only in comparison
4:41
with something else you have no
4:43
existence of yourself please
4:46
see right
4:48
now if you don't have something that
4:50
everybody has everybody has nose suppose
4:54
you did not have a
4:56
nose actually you can breathe better you
4:59
know if you take off your nose you will
5:03
get 22% extra
5:05
oxygen you'll be more healthy everything
5:08
will be better but you know how you will
5:10
suffer because everybody else has a
5:13
nose yes or no or if you get something
5:17
extra that other people don't have you
5:20
still suffer isn't it suppose you grew
5:23
one
5:25
horn you know how terrible it would be
5:29
but if everybody had a horn then we
5:31
would be polishing it and decorating
5:33
around you
5:36
know your very existence is in
5:38
comparison there is no existence of
5:41
yourself everything is in comparison
5:46
so with that comfort you're passing off
5:50
without knowing the pain of not
5:53
knowing if you know the pain of not
5:55
knowing who you are then if you just see
5:59
that I don't know anything about myself
6:01
tears will
6:02
come if it starts tearing you apart
6:05
knowing is not far away it's very simple
6:10
it's very very simple because after all
6:13
you want to know what is within you
6:15
isn't
6:16
it can what is within you be denied to
6:20
you by anybody or anything do you need a
6:24
passport to go within do you need a
6:27
visa to turn inward and know what's
6:30
within do you need somebody's permission
6:33
or can somebody stop you
6:36
can any authority in the world stop you
6:39
no
6:40
so who is stopping
6:43
you who could be stopping you
6:46
only yourself nobody else but yourself
6:50
nobody else is capable of stopping you
6:52
isn't
6:53
it so why are you stopping
6:57
yourself simply because you made your
7:00
whole existence outside of
7:02
yourself your very existence is only in
7:05
comparison with somebody
7:09
because this has happened to you simply
7:12
because the very nature of sense organs
7:14
is like this because your experience of
7:17
life is limited to sense perception that
7:19
is the reason why you're existing in
7:22
comparison with somebody not by
7:24
yourself because sense organs are like
7:27
this if I touch this this feels cool to
7:31
me this feels cool to me not because of
7:34
the way the steel rod is simply because
7:37
of the way my body temperature
7:40
is if I lower my body temperature and
7:43
touch this this would be warm to me yes
7:47
is it so if I lower my body temperature
7:50
to minus 100 and touch this this would
7:52
be red hot to
7:54
me is it
7:56
so so your very basic experience of life
8:00
because it is limited to sense
8:02
perception everything is in comparison
8:05
so your very existence has become in
8:08
comparison if this has to change
8:11
philosophies and teachings are not going
8:13
to change this fundamental
8:15
reality if your experience of life
8:18
transcends the limitations of sense
8:20
perception suddenly everything is
8:24
different when we initiated you into
8:26
Shambhabi if you gave yourself to the
8:29
process it could easily take you beyond
8:32
sense
8:33
perception many of
8:35
you going into moments where you are no
8:38
more within your sense perception
8:40
something else is beginning to happen
8:42
anything new happens your mind is such
8:46
it knows only
8:48
fear even if you walk into heaven you
8:51
will know only fear because it's
8:52
something that you do not know you have
8:55
conditioned yourself like this but if
8:58
you allow it to happen you will see you
9:01
will start experiencing a dimension
9:03
which is beyond sense
9:05
perception only when your experience of
9:07
life moves beyond sense perception then
9:11
your experience of life is absolute not
9:14
in comparison with something else then
9:16
your experience of life has transcended
9:19
the limitations of the physical
9:22
then you have created an atmosphere to
9:26
know who the hell you are and you better
9:28
know who the hell you are otherwise
9:31
anything that you do is of no
9:33
consequence
