The consciousness in the body cannot have any blemish at all
- that is the quality. But when you identify with the body, then, conceptually
you might pollute it, but by nature it is very pure. Vital breath is very pure,
and this beingness is purer than that. I am talking about Atman, the Self. This
knowledge is likely to create a great sense of frustration in one who doesn't
have the right perspective. The intention is to see the state of things in
their correct perspective. Having seen it, live your life in the world to the
best of your ability.
Immortality is beyond time and space; in that timeless,
spaceless existence there is no entry for the five elements, for light or
darkness, for the sun or the moon. Timeless, spaceless existence doesn't know
that it is. That is reality, That is the truth.
In any amount of meditation, etc., you do not remain in your
real state; it is only by firm conviction that you are the highest that you
stabilize in the Ultimate.
Normally a common spiritual seeker will not understand what
I am driving at because he is seeking something which he can enjoy. What is
your ambition in being a spiritual seeker? You are looking for advantage in the
world, to take care of your daily life - that is the maximum you expect out of
spirituality. The so-called sages, who are following a spiritual pursuit, focus
their ambition on seeing that their daily life goes on comfortably. Why in hell
did I happen to be? Nobody enquires about that. Only that person will visit
this place whose virtue and sin have come to an end. So long as there is that
stigma of the memory that you are a body-mind you will not understand.
