Sri Bhagavan Webcast  9 May 2010

We would be repeating what we did last week. There would be no changes this time. It would, in effect, be the same thing. 

One thing I would like to clarify is when we use the word “I”, like we say “I am Existence, Consciousness, Bliss,” or “I am Love,” we are not referring to the ego “I”, we are referring to the universal “I”. That is, there is only one “I,” the universe.

Like when we refer to consciousness, there is only one consciousness. There is no plural for the word consciousness, like consciousnesses. It does not exist, there is only one consciousness.

Similarly, there is only one “I”, one consciousness, one “I” and one soul.  We do not speak of souls, we do not speak of consciousnesses, we do not speak of “I’s” [plural of “I”].

So, whenever the word “I” is used, it does not refer to the small ego “I” that we are aware of, but the universal “I” which is in you, which is in me, which is in him, which is in her. It’s everywhere; it’s the same “I”.

Now, it does not matter if you do not realize this, it is enough if it is intellectually understood. The realization would come after the process, that there is only that singular “I” and you in fact are that “I”.

Similarly, when we use the word love, we are referring to universal love, not individual or personal love.

So, this time we will be using more power in the deeksha and as we go along we will be using more and more power, and we will be moving into deeper and deeper states, until finally, we will come to a point where we will be stopping the inner dialogue completely.

You would notice that there is an inner dialogue which is going on all the time inside of you.  That is a wasteful dialogue which is wasting your energies.

So, we would be trying to stop that inner dialogue. Maybe today, itself, we might try to stop for some people, that inner dialogue.

So, now we start the process. As usual, I would repeat the teachings, the 10 teachings, and after me, you would repeat it 7 times and then we move into meditation. 

It will be the same as last time except that we will be using more power in this deeksha. We would be gradually building it up.

The first teaching: Thoughts are not mine.

Mind is not mine.

This body is not mine.

All things are happening automatically.

There is thinking, but no thinker.

There is seeing, but no seer.

There is listening, but no listener.

There is doing, but no doer.

There is no person there at all.

I am Existence, Consciousness, Bliss.

Now we move on to the Mukhti mantra for the month of May. I would repeat it 3 times and then you will start and continue for the next 49 minutes.

I am love, I am love, I am love.............."
