excerpts from "The Light of Knowledge" Dialogues on Freedom of the Supreme Reality and illusion. Ranjit Maharaj-Editions AEQUILIBRIUM
Contact: When I contemplate my own true nature and immerse myself in the sensation of being, I feel pervaded by a feeling of love that has no cause. And 'this feeling something real or is it an illusion?
MAHARAJ: E 'the bliss of being. simply feel the presence "I am". Did you forget about everything, every concept ... It 'was not a conditional. This feeling of happiness emerges when the object is completely forgotten. However, being still a slight feeling that the end is always a point. Experience a higher state, but is still part of mind. The Self has nothing to do with pleasure or nor suffering, has no sense of self. The illusion is still there, but not take it more to reality. If someone calls you answer, "I'm here." But you're still there before replying: "I'm here." The feeling of being not present, but emerges spontaneously as soon as someone calls you. You can only give something you've experienced in some way. As soon as you feel that there is something you are moving away from reality, you are moving away from yourself. There is nothing wrong with living in the illusion, in the world, but since there can not touch you ... "experience" is not the right word. No words are suitable to express what is beyond anything, beyond the zero, where words can not exist. The state that you describe is certainly a good thing, but you have to go further. You are yourself only when the mind accepts that all he feels is an illusion.
I.: I want to know why some reincarnate be made to help others ...
MAHARAJ: Nobody goes, nobody is. Who told you that? Did you read somewhere part and now you repeat it? E 'nonsense to say that return. Nobody goes, nobody is. This is nothing but a dream. In the dream you believe to be a great teacher, but when you wake up back to being what you are. Who went and who's back? Nothing happened.
I.: If everything is an illusion, she too is an illusion?
MAHARAJ: Oh yes! I am the greatest of illusions! Everything you say this with great passion and sincerity is completely false. But the lies you hear from the Master can take you to your destination. When you go to find someone, you affects the person, not his address. Arrived at the home of that person ... at this point you no longer need the address. The words serve only to mean something, in themselves have no reality. The words are false, but the meaning they express is true ... you have to use the illusion to see the illusion. When you think "I" ... say, 'This is my home, these are my things. "Things on the other hand do not ever say that you belong ... I teach, but I do not expect this or that person should understand. Those who are lucky find the key ... It all depends on his ability, his willingness to understand.
Q: A be made live in a state of happiness? It 's so that it expresses the reality ... or is this an illusion?
MAHARAJ: The reality is the reality is unique, always identical to itself. What need is there to say which is expressed in happiness? If you lose your wallet and someone gives it to you, you are happy, but in fact you have made something that belonged there. Your happiness is temporary, that has nothing to do with reality. you believe that you can actually lose, while this is not entirely possible. So even the feeling of Happiness is an illusion. Who should feel joy and who could express it? In reality there is no duality.
I.: I have heard that the evolution of humanity is to move from 'I' to 'we', ie the individual consciousness must become a universal consciousness. It 's so?
MAHARAJ: not you understand how things are and think you are separate entities. All work in consciousness, of course, too. If you understand that it is not your body, your consciousness becomes universal and disappears every kind of limitation When you break the jar, the space within it becomes one with the space of the entire room ... but here you have to understand that this consciousness is an illusion, it is still ignorance. The ego has become the universal consciousness is the worst there is, because he can say. "I am the creator of the world ..." But you need to create an illusion? Ignorant people ... according to them, (wise men) should not feel any pain. But an essay is a living person, not a corpse, and if it touches the fire, burning feeling. The wise man feels pain, but knows that this affects the body.
Contact: How do we purify ourselves. To get rid of ego in search of reality?
MAHARAJ: Yes, nothing remains. All images are missing. Why? Why did not exist. If there was something real would remain. Everything disappears When you fall asleep, right? And when you wake up all returns. Where you from? And 'the knowledge that brings him back. If you go a little further knowledge, there there you are. It 's easy but you refuse to cross that threshold. The mind can not do it, should always have something to define, to understand. When a person dies, it no longer remains nothing, because there was no truth. When you are born, do not bring anything with you. As long as there is a body, you have to work. The body has its needs. Do you have a role to play and you must do your part, but say to yourself: "It 's all a sham, I do not have this character." No one dies, I assure you. The five elements return to the five elements. E 'missing something? Yes, the name! Only the name. The world you see is not true for the blind. Everything that happens to you. The plane is delayed you who you say you are so willing. What happens is simply your own thoughts!
there really the problem of purifying mind? The mind itself is a concept and a concept can ever be true? What is not real will always be impure. Whatever you perceive, it overlaps with your nature, which remains intact. You are absolutely clear and pure. The mind takes everything feels real, making it impure. When you realize that everything is false, the mind itself dissolves. It 's like waking from a dream and notice of not doing anything. Everything starts from scratch. The world is zero. The space is zero. Everything comes from zero, but the reality is more than zero. Scientists do not find him ever, because of the beyond the zero. Why can not you get the feeling of that power so thin that activates all things? Why is nothing. How would you feel? The power is starting from scratch, the reality is over. For this you can forget for a moment all that exists, like a dream. When you're born, you did not know anything. We have given a name and you also have begun to give, calling mom and dad. But what are mom and dad? I'm just your thoughts. Do you have a role to play and you must do your part, but say you hung out: "It 's all a sham, I do not have this character." Then do your job, but do not identify with the character.
I. : The idea of \u200b\u200bbirth and rebirth does not mean anything right?
MAHARAJ: None. None reborn because no one dies. Birth and death not exist. Imagine dreaming of having a baby. You can determine for him a date of birth? This world is nothing but a long dream. You want to feel real, but it is not possible. Would you like to understand the real and then the mind starts working. But when you get him, what else can you ask for?
Even love is not true. Are you saying that when two things come together, there is love. But if there is none, where does it go love? Because there is love there must be something to love: a man, a woman, a tree ... they say we must love all beings, but if I'm all beings, is somebody to love? If you give alms to a poor man and you think you've done a good deed, this is pride. But who are you to help others? To this the Master tells you that does not help anyone. He speaks simply, it's up to you to understand.
All scientists have failed. They found the holes where blacks there is nothing, not even light, no car can get there, where everything is reduced to zero. Can approach zero, but can not go further. Many wise men have failed for the same reason, unable to go below zero. Now even the zero part of their knowledge. Zero is the source of knowledge, then knowledge, coming from zero, no consistency. If there were zero, there would be no knowledge.
"Go below zero." When you understand that thought is false, are the reality which is more than I think .
"Go
