Guided Meditation: Bliss has no beginning and bliss has no end!

00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:26.771
If you will close your eyes or what ever you feel comfortable with, you don't have to close your eyes in this, but I like to close my eyes because I feel it allows me to focus on the inner, what's going on within and allows the senses to go back and draw within and turn inward.
00:00:27.791 --> 00:00:35.560
Which is what we want to do with our senses because they are always projecting outside.
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:41.021
So we want to bring things back within for, for just this time in the meditation.
00:00:42.820 --> 00:00:52.271
So if you want to take an inhale of the breath and then exhale at your pace, and we'll do this for a couple of minutes.
00:00:53.006 --> 00:00:53.935
In silence.
00:00:54.445 --> 00:00:57.176
And then we'll go through the guided meditation.
00:01:44.709 --> 00:02:03.823
So concentrate on the inhale of the breath and then also concentrate on the exhale of the breath and then from concentration, just turn to awareness.
00:02:03.823 --> 00:02:11.016
So be aware of the inhalation of the breath and then aware of the exhalation of the breath.
00:02:11.167 --> 00:02:13.757
So from concentration to awareness.
00:02:14.206 --> 00:02:17.787
Do that in your own pace and we'll do that for the next couple of minutes.
00:03:56.817 --> 00:04:00.340
Whenever it will be concentrate on something.
00:04:02.590 --> 00:05:01.295
Whenever we focus on something, whether it's our breath, an image of someone that we worship or a devta that we worship or a Devi that we worship, what we find is that we are concentrating on a particular content, on a particular form, as we know the nature of every form, whether breath, whether something or someone that we worship, that we have a close connection with is all reliant on something unreal.
00:05:03.576 --> 00:05:16.206
Now, what do I mean by unreal in this particular aspect?
00:05:20.954 --> 00:05:33.514
The unreal is that which changes, which modifies, without your mind, how can you worship anything?
00:05:38.954 --> 00:05:42.000
Without your mind?
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:44.379
How can you focus on your breath.
00:05:45.430 --> 00:05:49.199
Without the body, how can there be breathing?
00:05:50.579 --> 00:05:57.240
So everything is a content of your awareness.
00:06:01.492 --> 00:06:26.182
And our meditations that we do here are to bring us back to that awareness, which has no form, which has no image, which cannot be defined, which does not have a shape, explore it within, now.
00:06:29.632 --> 00:06:44.771
When you're being aware of being aware, does that have any content, any object, any energy even?
00:06:49.430 --> 00:06:52.071
Does it have any space within.
00:07:07.766 --> 00:07:23.875
If your awareness can still be there without space then that means it is absolutely real.
00:07:25.975 --> 00:07:29.355
Whereas Shri Krishna will say it is Sat.
00:07:30.446 --> 00:07:40.050
It is the truth because whatever is not bounded by space, is not bounded by time.
00:07:41.641 --> 00:07:52.317
So your awareness, your consciousness, the real you is not bounded by space.
00:07:52.557 --> 00:07:54.271
Not bounded by time.
00:08:02.913 --> 00:08:07.653
Whatever your senses perceive, your awareness is watching it.
00:08:09.723 --> 00:08:15.903
As you've grown throughout these years, you probably have moved locations.
00:08:18.783 --> 00:08:21.843
You probably have gone on holiday to different destinations.
00:08:23.485 --> 00:08:31.045
But your awareness has remained with you untouched by any experience that you've had.
00:08:37.535 --> 00:08:44.735
When you are sad, when you're upset about something, is awareness upset?
00:08:45.515 --> 00:08:55.331
Is consciousness upset or is Brahman, Nirguna Brahman, is that upset?
00:08:57.020 --> 00:09:02.181
When you're happy, is awareness happy?
00:09:10.635 --> 00:09:17.451
Is awareness affected by that happiness?
00:09:20.696 --> 00:09:33.316
Awareness remains untouched because feeling happy, feeling sad is a content of consciousness.
00:09:34.275 --> 00:09:42.076
It's a content of the mind and your awareness is before the mind.
00:09:49.525 --> 00:09:56.140
Therefore every event, is just a content in your awareness.
00:10:00.041 --> 00:10:03.937
We're going to explore that awareness within you a bit more now.
00:10:27.100 --> 00:10:46.330
In the east, they call this formless consciousness, this formless awareness and define it in three sanskrit terms.
00:10:52.549 --> 00:11:05.590
Sat Chit Ananda Sat is the Truth.
00:11:11.539 --> 00:11:14.509
Consciousness is the complete Truth.
00:11:14.509 --> 00:11:22.649
Your awareness is the complete Truth and you cannot escape this Truth.
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:29.659
Then Chit- Consciousness itself.
00:11:31.470 --> 00:11:33.273
It's conscious of its own self.
00:11:34.070 --> 00:11:36.379
It's aware of its own awareness.
00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:44.029
And then bliss - Ananda.
00:11:48.409 --> 00:11:52.460
Last week in the meditation, we looked at the senses.
00:11:52.649 --> 00:11:56.442
But bliss is beyond the sense.
00:11:57.232 --> 00:12:00.620
Bliss has no beginning, bliss has no end.
00:12:00.985 --> 00:12:04.076
Consciousness has no beginning, Consciousness has no end.
00:12:04.755 --> 00:12:09.056
Sat, truth has no beginning, Truth has no end.
00:12:12.666 --> 00:12:20.782
This is the nature of your consciousness when it is manifested in form.
00:12:23.552 --> 00:12:35.616
So right now when you are in your awareness, your nature is blissful.
00:12:38.547 --> 00:12:40.200
You do not have pain in bliss.
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:44.129
You are bliss.
00:12:48.274 --> 00:12:52.220
Stick with this for a few moments.
00:12:55.288 --> 00:12:59.359
Be silent with that bliss for a few moments.
00:14:06.979 --> 00:14:14.558
Remember, you're not experiencing bliss or ananda, you are ananda, you are bliss.
00:14:19.683 --> 00:14:21.813
So don't look to experience bliss.
00:14:23.484 --> 00:14:29.303
If you look to experience it then bliss will run away, like every other object.
00:14:29.844 --> 00:14:31.553
It appears and then disappears.
00:14:32.453 --> 00:14:35.573
And it's just an appearance then, it's not bliss itself.
00:14:36.624 --> 00:15:03.719
For example, if somebody is really thirsty in the desert and they're walking in the desert and they see an oasis, a pool of water, and they go running towards that direction where they can see that water and they realize once they get there, actually, it was just a mirage.
00:15:03.719 --> 00:15:05.009
It was just an appearance.
00:15:05.009 --> 00:15:05.879
It was false.
00:15:09.009 --> 00:15:18.408
That's the same way when we look to seek happiness or seek bliss, or we want this meditation to be blissful.
00:15:19.308 --> 00:15:21.469
Meditation itself is bliss.
00:15:24.278 --> 00:15:25.458
You yourself are bliss.
00:15:25.479 --> 00:15:27.548
So you're not going to experience bliss.
00:15:28.149 --> 00:15:29.288
You are bliss.
00:15:29.589 --> 00:15:32.619
This is your own nature.
00:16:25.831 --> 00:16:42.794
In bliss, whatever we experienced in this content, what I mean by content is our body and mind, both pleasure and pain are within bliss.
00:16:44.735 --> 00:16:49.764
It is not bliss, but it is contained within bliss.
00:16:51.595 --> 00:17:10.315
So remember, whenever you go through a painful experience, or you go through a pleasurable experience, a wonderful experience, remember that it is within bliss.
00:17:15.424 --> 00:17:21.275
This is not difficult to achieve in our day-to-day life.
00:17:26.545 --> 00:17:37.157
It's pretty easy, pretty simple, if we can go back to our awareness at all times.
00:17:39.234 --> 00:17:43.704
Whenever we are in difficulty, you go back to that awareness.
00:17:44.184 --> 00:17:49.404
Whenever we're having a good time, we go back to awareness.
00:18:03.623 --> 00:18:05.867
Does bliss have any form?
00:18:07.470 --> 00:18:09.839
Does it manifest in any way?
00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:17.650
If you're smiling, does that mean that bliss is there?
00:18:19.779 --> 00:18:24.039
If you're laughing, does that mean bliss is there?
00:18:25.569 --> 00:18:30.809
If you feel inspired, does that mean bliss is there?
00:18:32.994 --> 00:18:36.651
All those are contents of bliss but not bliss itself.
00:18:38.260 --> 00:18:42.280
Bliss is awareness, ananda is awareness.
00:18:43.351 --> 00:18:45.411
Brahman is ananda.
00:18:51.040 --> 00:18:52.661
They are one and the same.
00:18:57.050 --> 00:18:58.431
Bliss has no form.
00:19:06.171 --> 00:19:08.361
Bliss has no expression.
00:19:14.030 --> 00:19:15.921
Bliss has no emotion.
00:19:20.800 --> 00:19:22.426
Bliss has no thought.
00:19:27.557 --> 00:19:29.396
Bliss has no intention.
00:19:35.997 --> 00:19:37.655
Bliss has no movement.
00:20:12.115 --> 00:20:13.826
Bliss has no language.
00:20:39.057 --> 00:20:40.686
Bliss has no knowledge.
00:21:21.150 --> 00:21:25.412
Bliss is beyond your senses.
00:21:54.030 --> 00:21:57.121
Bliss is beyond silence.
00:22:16.800 --> 00:22:20.990
Bliss doesn't belong to me alone.
00:22:22.941 --> 00:22:25.644
Bliss does not belong to you alone.
00:22:30.345 --> 00:22:34.904
Bliss does not belong to the sages alone or the rishis alone.
00:22:39.875 --> 00:22:42.424
Bliss is our shared being.
00:22:47.060 --> 00:22:48.238
We share this.
00:22:54.750 --> 00:23:07.909
Bliss is in the one that knows Brahman, that knows the Ultimate Reality, that knows Pure Consciousness and bliss is there even with the one that appears to be ignorant.
00:23:20.357 --> 00:23:22.548
Bliss is limitless.
00:23:39.083 --> 00:23:52.913
When we look at awareness, we know that awareness, in its true experience when we fully understand and discover that there is only awareness.
00:23:54.442 --> 00:23:57.848
And awareness is not here nor is it there.
00:24:00.788 --> 00:24:01.963
Same with bliss.
00:24:03.644 --> 00:24:06.554
It's neither here, nor is it there.
00:24:10.013 --> 00:24:23.903
Whatever can be directly understood, unveiled, revealed can not be here nor there.
00:24:25.403 --> 00:24:29.513
As I mentioned earlier, it does not belong to space.
00:24:31.118 --> 00:24:33.578
Here and there belongs to space.
00:24:37.719 --> 00:24:39.429
In bliss, there is no time.
00:24:45.769 --> 00:24:50.808
You cannot be blissed out yesterday and then not feel blissful today.
00:24:53.719 --> 00:25:03.344
And you cannot anticipate bliss in the future, if you cannot experience bliss now.
00:25:07.193 --> 00:25:15.023
So bliss is beyond past experience, present experience, and future experience.
00:25:21.814 --> 00:25:25.354
Bliss, anand is.
00:25:26.824 --> 00:25:29.334
Simply isness.
00:25:31.965 --> 00:25:33.465
It simply is.
00:25:37.105 --> 00:25:40.695
As awareness simply is.
00:26:46.976 --> 00:26:50.185
Let's just think for a second.
00:26:58.165 --> 00:27:00.385
Did you discover bliss today?
00:27:09.564 --> 00:27:20.858
If you discover something, anything, that means previously it was hidden.
00:27:20.858 --> 00:27:28.519
Or it simply wasn't there.
00:27:32.769 --> 00:27:35.878
But you didn't discover bliss today.
00:27:39.834 --> 00:27:48.703
You just simply understood that bliss simply is.
00:27:51.344 --> 00:27:52.663
You didn't discover it.
00:27:53.384 --> 00:27:54.544
You didn't find it.
00:27:55.983 --> 00:27:57.513
It's right now.
00:27:57.574 --> 00:27:58.263
Right here.
00:28:00.423 --> 00:28:01.913
You didn't have to do anything.
00:28:21.970 --> 00:28:26.564
Likewise, keep this, maintain this in your life, in your day-to-day life.
00:28:29.794 --> 00:28:32.794
Take this meditation with you.
00:28:33.953 --> 00:28:36.980
Don't do it for 30 minutes and then forget about it.
00:28:39.589 --> 00:28:44.390
True meditation occurs throughout the day throughout every activity.
00:28:54.430 --> 00:29:04.148
If within there is an element of duality, then understand that bliss is your closest companion.
00:29:06.469 --> 00:29:25.128
But for those that are non dual, that understand oneness, that are oneness, then understand that bliss is awareness.
00:29:25.868 --> 00:29:28.239
Ananda is awareness.
00:29:30.233 --> 00:29:32.210
Ananda is Brahman.
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:56.413
Ananda is Shanti.
00:29:58.084 --> 00:29:59.884
Bliss is peace.
00:30:06.513 --> 00:30:10.594
And this is not something you accumulate, it's not something you acquire.
00:30:11.564 --> 00:30:13.253
It's not something you attain.
00:30:15.983 --> 00:30:16.940
It's what you are.
00:30:21.930 --> 00:30:34.336
When you take everything away, you're left with nothing but awareness, consciousness, bliss, peace..
00:30:35.207 --> 00:30:40.301
And everything else is just an appearance.
00:30:43.771 --> 00:30:50.922
Like the screen that allows the images to be projected from the projector.
00:30:54.642 --> 00:30:56.291
The screen is never affected.
00:30:57.102 --> 00:31:01.902
Therefore your bliss can never be disturbed.
00:31:04.932 --> 00:31:05.979
It can never be broken.
00:31:09.162 --> 00:31:12.582
The connection can never dissolve away.
00:31:15.731 --> 00:31:17.321
Likewise with peace.
00:31:21.342 --> 00:31:26.142
And likewise, with being aware of being aware.
00:31:29.912 --> 00:31:31.571
Bliss is our Shared Being.
00:31:32.321 --> 00:31:34.332
Peace is our Shared Being.
00:31:37.451 --> 00:31:38.922
We share this with everyone.
00:31:43.241 --> 00:32:09.041
And whatever is happening in the world today, may those that are entrenched in duality, in ego, in ignorance, at least have a peak into what bliss is, into what peace is.
00:32:10.622 --> 00:32:11.612
True peace.
00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:26.771
If you will close your eyes or what ever you feel comfortable with, you don't have to close your eyes in this, but I like to close my eyes because I feel it allows me to focus on the inner, what's going on within and allows the senses to go back and draw within and turn inward.
00:00:27.791 --> 00:00:35.560
Which is what we want to do with our senses because they are always projecting outside.
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:41.021
So we want to bring things back within for, for just this time in the meditation.
00:00:42.820 --> 00:00:52.271
So if you want to take an inhale of the breath and then exhale at your pace, and we'll do this for a couple of minutes.
00:00:53.006 --> 00:00:53.935
In silence.
00:00:54.445 --> 00:00:57.176
And then we'll go through the guided meditation.
00:01:44.709 --> 00:02:03.823
So concentrate on the inhale of the breath and then also concentrate on the exhale of the breath and then from concentration, just turn to awareness.
00:02:03.823 --> 00:02:11.016
So be aware of the inhalation of the breath and then aware of the exhalation of the breath.
00:02:11.167 --> 00:02:13.757
So from concentration to awareness.
00:02:14.206 --> 00:02:17.787
Do that in your own pace and we'll do that for the next couple of minutes.
00:03:56.817 --> 00:04:00.340
Whenever it will be concentrate on something.
00:04:02.590 --> 00:05:01.295
Whenever we focus on something, whether it's our breath, an image of someone that we worship or a devta that we worship or a Devi that we worship, what we find is that we are concentrating on a particular content, on a particular form, as we know the nature of every form, whether breath, whether something or someone that we worship, that we have a close connection with is all reliant on something unreal.
00:05:03.576 --> 00:05:16.206
Now, what do I mean by unreal in this particular aspect?
00:05:20.954 --> 00:05:33.514
The unreal is that which changes, which modifies, without your mind, how can you worship anything?
00:05:38.954 --> 00:05:42.000
Without your mind?
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:44.379
How can you focus on your breath.
00:05:45.430 --> 00:05:49.199
Without the body, how can there be breathing?
00:05:50.579 --> 00:05:57.240
So everything is a content of your awareness.
00:06:01.492 --> 00:06:26.182
And our meditations that we do here are to bring us back to that awareness, which has no form, which has no image, which cannot be defined, which does not have a shape, explore it within, now.
00:06:29.632 --> 00:06:44.771
When you're being aware of being aware, does that have any content, any object, any energy even?
00:06:49.430 --> 00:06:52.071
Does it have any space within.
00:07:07.766 --> 00:07:23.875
If your awareness can still be there without space then that means it is absolutely real.
00:07:25.975 --> 00:07:29.355
Whereas Shri Krishna will say it is Sat.
00:07:30.446 --> 00:07:40.050
It is the truth because whatever is not bounded by space, is not bounded by time.
00:07:41.641 --> 00:07:52.317
So your awareness, your consciousness, the real you is not bounded by space.
00:07:52.557 --> 00:07:54.271
Not bounded by time.
00:08:02.913 --> 00:08:07.653
Whatever your senses perceive, your awareness is watching it.
00:08:09.723 --> 00:08:15.903
As you've grown throughout these years, you probably have moved locations.
00:08:18.783 --> 00:08:21.843
You probably have gone on holiday to different destinations.
00:08:23.485 --> 00:08:31.045
But your awareness has remained with you untouched by any experience that you've had.
00:08:37.535 --> 00:08:44.735
When you are sad, when you're upset about something, is awareness upset?
00:08:45.515 --> 00:08:55.331
Is consciousness upset or is Brahman, Nirguna Brahman, is that upset?
00:08:57.020 --> 00:09:02.181
When you're happy, is awareness happy?
00:09:10.635 --> 00:09:17.451
Is awareness affected by that happiness?
00:09:20.696 --> 00:09:33.316
Awareness remains untouched because feeling happy, feeling sad is a content of consciousness.
00:09:34.275 --> 00:09:42.076
It's a content of the mind and your awareness is before the mind.
00:09:49.525 --> 00:09:56.140
Therefore every event, is just a content in your awareness.
00:10:00.041 --> 00:10:03.937
We're going to explore that awareness within you a bit more now.
00:10:27.100 --> 00:10:46.330
In the east, they call this formless consciousness, this formless awareness and define it in three sanskrit terms.
00:10:52.549 --> 00:11:05.590
Sat Chit Ananda Sat is the Truth.
00:11:11.539 --> 00:11:14.509
Consciousness is the complete Truth.
00:11:14.509 --> 00:11:22.649
Your awareness is the complete Truth and you cannot escape this Truth.
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:29.659
Then Chit- Consciousness itself.
00:11:31.470 --> 00:11:33.273
It's conscious of its own self.
00:11:34.070 --> 00:11:36.379
It's aware of its own awareness.
00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:44.029
And then bliss - Ananda.
00:11:48.409 --> 00:11:52.460
Last week in the meditation, we looked at the senses.
00:11:52.649 --> 00:11:56.442
But bliss is beyond the sense.
00:11:57.232 --> 00:12:00.620
Bliss has no beginning, bliss has no end.
00:12:00.985 --> 00:12:04.076
Consciousness has no beginning, Consciousness has no end.
00:12:04.755 --> 00:12:09.056
Sat, truth has no beginning, Truth has no end.
00:12:12.666 --> 00:12:20.782
This is the nature of your consciousness when it is manifested in form.
00:12:23.552 --> 00:12:35.616
So right now when you are in your awareness, your nature is blissful.
00:12:38.547 --> 00:12:40.200
You do not have pain in bliss.
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:44.129
You are bliss.
00:12:48.274 --> 00:12:52.220
Stick with this for a few moments.
00:12:55.288 --> 00:12:59.359
Be silent with that bliss for a few moments.
00:14:06.979 --> 00:14:14.558
Remember, you're not experiencing bliss or ananda, you are ananda, you are bliss.
00:14:19.683 --> 00:14:21.813
So don't look to experience bliss.
00:14:23.484 --> 00:14:29.303
If you look to experience it then bliss will run away, like every other object.
00:14:29.844 --> 00:14:31.553
It appears and then disappears.
00:14:32.453 --> 00:14:35.573
And it's just an appearance then, it's not bliss itself.
00:14:36.624 --> 00:15:03.719
For example, if somebody is really thirsty in the desert and they're walking in the desert and they see an oasis, a pool of water, and they go running towards that direction where they can see that water and they realize once they get there, actually, it was just a mirage.
00:15:03.719 --> 00:15:05.009
It was just an appearance.
00:15:05.009 --> 00:15:05.879
It was false.
00:15:09.009 --> 00:15:18.408
That's the same way when we look to seek happiness or seek bliss, or we want this meditation to be blissful.
00:15:19.308 --> 00:15:21.469
Meditation itself is bliss.
00:15:24.278 --> 00:15:25.458
You yourself are bliss.
00:15:25.479 --> 00:15:27.548
So you're not going to experience bliss.
00:15:28.149 --> 00:15:29.288
You are bliss.
00:15:29.589 --> 00:15:32.619
This is your own nature.
00:16:25.831 --> 00:16:42.794
In bliss, whatever we experienced in this content, what I mean by content is our body and mind, both pleasure and pain are within bliss.
00:16:44.735 --> 00:16:49.764
It is not bliss, but it is contained within bliss.
00:16:51.595 --> 00:17:10.315
So remember, whenever you go through a painful experience, or you go through a pleasurable experience, a wonderful experience, remember that it is within bliss.
00:17:15.424 --> 00:17:21.275
This is not difficult to achieve in our day-to-day life.
00:17:26.545 --> 00:17:37.157
It's pretty easy, pretty simple, if we can go back to our awareness at all times.
00:17:39.234 --> 00:17:43.704
Whenever we are in difficulty, you go back to that awareness.
00:17:44.184 --> 00:17:49.404
Whenever we're having a good time, we go back to awareness.
00:18:03.623 --> 00:18:05.867
Does bliss have any form?
00:18:07.470 --> 00:18:09.839
Does it manifest in any way?
00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:17.650
If you're smiling, does that mean that bliss is there?
00:18:19.779 --> 00:18:24.039
If you're laughing, does that mean bliss is there?
00:18:25.569 --> 00:18:30.809
If you feel inspired, does that mean bliss is there?
00:18:32.994 --> 00:18:36.651
All those are contents of bliss but not bliss itself.
00:18:38.260 --> 00:18:42.280
Bliss is awareness, ananda is awareness.
00:18:43.351 --> 00:18:45.411
Brahman is ananda.
00:18:51.040 --> 00:18:52.661
They are one and the same.
00:18:57.050 --> 00:18:58.431
Bliss has no form.
00:19:06.171 --> 00:19:08.361
Bliss has no expression.
00:19:14.030 --> 00:19:15.921
Bliss has no emotion.
00:19:20.800 --> 00:19:22.426
Bliss has no thought.
00:19:27.557 --> 00:19:29.396
Bliss has no intention.
00:19:35.997 --> 00:19:37.655
Bliss has no movement.
00:20:12.115 --> 00:20:13.826
Bliss has no language.
00:20:39.057 --> 00:20:40.686
Bliss has no knowledge.
00:21:21.150 --> 00:21:25.412
Bliss is beyond your senses.
00:21:54.030 --> 00:21:57.121
Bliss is beyond silence.
00:22:16.800 --> 00:22:20.990
Bliss doesn't belong to me alone.
00:22:22.941 --> 00:22:25.644
Bliss does not belong to you alone.
00:22:30.345 --> 00:22:34.904
Bliss does not belong to the sages alone or the rishis alone.
00:22:39.875 --> 00:22:42.424
Bliss is our shared being.
00:22:47.060 --> 00:22:48.238
We share this.
00:22:54.750 --> 00:23:07.909
Bliss is in the one that knows Brahman, that knows the Ultimate Reality, that knows Pure Consciousness and bliss is there even with the one that appears to be ignorant.
00:23:20.357 --> 00:23:22.548
Bliss is limitless.
00:23:39.083 --> 00:23:52.913
When we look at awareness, we know that awareness, in its true experience when we fully understand and discover that there is only awareness.
00:23:54.442 --> 00:23:57.848
And awareness is not here nor is it there.
00:24:00.788 --> 00:24:01.963
Same with bliss.
00:24:03.644 --> 00:24:06.554
It's neither here, nor is it there.
00:24:10.013 --> 00:24:23.903
Whatever can be directly understood, unveiled, revealed can not be here nor there.
00:24:25.403 --> 00:24:29.513
As I mentioned earlier, it does not belong to space.
00:24:31.118 --> 00:24:33.578
Here and there belongs to space.
00:24:37.719 --> 00:24:39.429
In bliss, there is no time.
00:24:45.769 --> 00:24:50.808
You cannot be blissed out yesterday and then not feel blissful today.
00:24:53.719 --> 00:25:03.344
And you cannot anticipate bliss in the future, if you cannot experience bliss now.
00:25:07.193 --> 00:25:15.023
So bliss is beyond past experience, present experience, and future experience.
00:25:21.814 --> 00:25:25.354
Bliss, anand is.
00:25:26.824 --> 00:25:29.334
Simply isness.
00:25:31.965 --> 00:25:33.465
It simply is.
00:25:37.105 --> 00:25:40.695
As awareness simply is.
00:26:46.976 --> 00:26:50.185
Let's just think for a second.
00:26:58.165 --> 00:27:00.385
Did you discover bliss today?
00:27:09.564 --> 00:27:20.858
If you discover something, anything, that means previously it was hidden.
00:27:20.858 --> 00:27:28.519
Or it simply wasn't there.
00:27:32.769 --> 00:27:35.878
But you didn't discover bliss today.
00:27:39.834 --> 00:27:48.703
You just simply understood that bliss simply is.
00:27:51.344 --> 00:27:52.663
You didn't discover it.
00:27:53.384 --> 00:27:54.544
You didn't find it.
00:27:55.983 --> 00:27:57.513
It's right now.
00:27:57.574 --> 00:27:58.263
Right here.
00:28:00.423 --> 00:28:01.913
You didn't have to do anything.
00:28:21.970 --> 00:28:26.564
Likewise, keep this, maintain this in your life, in your day-to-day life.
00:28:29.794 --> 00:28:32.794
Take this meditation with you.
00:28:33.953 --> 00:28:36.980
Don't do it for 30 minutes and then forget about it.
00:28:39.589 --> 00:28:44.390
True meditation occurs throughout the day throughout every activity.
00:28:54.430 --> 00:29:04.148
If within there is an element of duality, then understand that bliss is your closest companion.
00:29:06.469 --> 00:29:25.128
But for those that are non dual, that understand oneness, that are oneness, then understand that bliss is awareness.
00:29:25.868 --> 00:29:28.239
Ananda is awareness.
00:29:30.233 --> 00:29:32.210
Ananda is Brahman.
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:56.413
Ananda is Shanti.
00:29:58.084 --> 00:29:59.884
Bliss is peace.
00:30:06.513 --> 00:30:10.594
And this is not something you accumulate, it's not something you acquire.
00:30:11.564 --> 00:30:13.253
It's not something you attain.
00:30:15.983 --> 00:30:16.940
It's what you are.
00:30:21.930 --> 00:30:34.336
When you take everything away, you're left with nothing but awareness, consciousness, bliss, peace..
00:30:35.207 --> 00:30:40.301
And everything else is just an appearance.
00:30:43.771 --> 00:30:50.922
Like the screen that allows the images to be projected from the projector.
00:30:54.642 --> 00:30:56.291
The screen is never affected.
00:30:57.102 --> 00:31:01.902
Therefore your bliss can never be disturbed.
00:31:04.932 --> 00:31:05.979
It can never be broken.
00:31:09.162 --> 00:31:12.582
The connection can never dissolve away.
00:31:15.731 --> 00:31:17.321
Likewise with peace.
00:31:21.342 --> 00:31:26.142
And likewise, with being aware of being aware.
00:31:29.912 --> 00:31:31.571
Bliss is our Shared Being.
00:31:32.321 --> 00:31:34.332
Peace is our Shared Being.
00:31:37.451 --> 00:31:38.922
We share this with everyone.
00:31:43.241 --> 00:32:09.041
And whatever is happening in the world today, may those that are entrenched in duality, in ego, in ignorance, at least have a peak into what bliss is, into what peace is.
00:32:10.622 --> 00:32:11.612
True peace.
