Question 1
Maneesha has asked a question:
OUR BELOVED MASTER,
I HAVE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE WITNESS IS PURE CONSCIOUSNESS, UNAFFECTED BY THE BODY AND MIND IT TAKES TEMPORARY RESIDENCE IN. SO, FIRST: HOW DO PERSONALITY TRAITS AND CONDITIONING PERSIST FROM ONE LIFE TO ANOTHER?
AND SECOND: DOES NOT THAT WHICH MAKES US UNIQUE INDIVIDUALS HAVE A CONTINUUM?

Maneesha, first you have to understand that you have not only this body of flesh and bones and blood, not only this brain which is part of the body. Behind the brain you have a mind -- that mind is abstract -- and behind the body you have an astral body. The word `astral' comes from stars; it means a light.... Instead of flesh or bones, only a body made of light. This body of light, the astral body, has the mind in it.
When you die, your physical body and your physical mind are left behind. But the astral body travels with you, with the mind, with all the remembrances of the past life and the body, remembering all the scars and the wounds that have happened to the physical body. This abstract phenomenon travels with you; hiding within it is your ultimate, existential center.
Until you know the center, you will have to travel continuously from one body to another body. You have been traveling already for thousands of lives, gathering more and more memories in your astral mind, more and more memories in your astral body. Although your center is unaffected, it is surrounded by the astral body, and the astral body goes on from womb to womb, from grave to grave. That is your individuality; it has a continuum. But the continuum comes to an end when you become a buddha.
When you penetrate deeply to the center, you are also cutting the astral body apart, making a way through the mind, beyond the mind, through the astral body and beyond the astral body, to the center of your being. Once you have reached to the center of your being, the continuum of your individuality stops. Now begins the universal existence. You will not enter into another womb again, and you will not be burnt on another funeral pyre again. Now you will be one with the whole.
Of course, everything has a cost. You will have to drop your long-cherished love of individuality. Millions of years you have loved your individuality, but your individuality at the final stage is a hindrance.
Now take a jump out of the continuum and become one with the whole. You will disappear just like a dewdrop in the ocean. But it is the ultimate bliss, it is the most profound ecstasy to become the oceanic, to become the cosmic. You will never repent that you have lost your individuality.
What was in your individuality?
Have you ever thought?
Your individuality was a light prison, which carried you from one womb, passing through the grave, to another womb, and repeating the same things again and again and again. That's why in the East they call it the life and death cycle. To jump out of this cycle is the whole purpose of meditation -- to come out of this continuum, which has been just a deep anguish, anxiety and angst, and to disappear into the blue sky.
This disappearance is not your death. This disappearance makes you one with the whole. And to be one with the whole is the greatest joy, the greatest blissfulness. Nothing is more significant, more full of splendor, more majestic. Here all the buddhas have disappeared in the ultimate eternity of existence. It is freedom from individuality, freedom from yourself.
You have known freedom from others, but you don't recognize that you are still a slave of your own individuality. It is a cage... it may be golden.
Open the cage and fly across the sun into the blue sky and disappear, without leaving any footprints, any trace behind.
This Gautam the Buddha used to call anatta, no self, no mind, no you, no I. This in fact can be said in another way....

I have told you about Kabir, one of the great mystics of India. When he was young he became enlightened, and he wrote a small poem, in which comes the line: The drop has disappeared in the ocean.
When he was dying, he called his son Kamaal and told him to change that line. Kamaal said, "It is so beautiful -- the dewdrop has disappeared in the ocean. Why are you changing it? And what is the substitute?"
Kabir said, "These are my last breaths; don't argue, simply do what I am saying. You write instead: The ocean has disappeared in the dewdrop. That was my first impression, this is my last impression." And he closed his eyes.
But both the impressions are beautiful. In the beginning, of course, you will see the dewdrop is disappearing in the ocean. But finally you will realize the ocean has disappeared in the dewdrop.

Now it is time for Sardar Gurudayal Singh.

Miss Goodbody says to her class one afternoon, "Okay, children, the one who gives me the right answer to the next question may go home right away."
Immediately, Little Albert throws his schoolbag out of the window.
"Who did that?" snaps Miss Goodbody, angrily.
"I did!" says Albert. "See you tomorrow!"

Paddy decides that it is time to get a full-time job. A new salami factory has opened in town, so he goes to apply. He picks up his application form, and he meets Mussolini McVey, the manager.
"Now, Mr. Murphy," says Mussolini, "we have got many applications for these jobs, so we have included two intelligence-testing questions. Come back tomorrow with your application and the answers to the questions."
At home, Paddy looks at the form.
Question 1 reads: How many seconds are there in a year? Question 2 reads: How many days of the week begin with the letter "T"?
The next morning, Paddy goes for his interview at the appointed time.
"Good morning, Mr. Murphy," says Mussolini McVey. "And what is your answer to the first question -- How many seconds are there in a year?"
"No problem, sir," says Paddy. "The answer is twelve."
"Twelve?" asks Mussolini. "How did you get that?"
"Easy," replies Paddy. "The second of January... the second of February...!"
"Okay, okay Mr. Murphy," says McVey. "What about question two: How many days of the week begin with `T'?"
"No problem, sir," says Paddy. "The answer is two."
"Very good," says McVey. "and by the way, what are they?"
"Easy," replies Paddy. "Today and tomorrow."

Farmer Scrumpy has been in the city for a couple of days, and when he gets back, Homer, his hired hand, collects him from the train station in the old farm Ford.
"How is everything, Homer?" asks Scrumpy.
"Ah, so-so," replies Homer.
"Anything much happen while I was gone?" asks Scrumpy, climbing into the car.
"Nothing much to speak of," replies Homer, driving off. "The dog limps a little."
"Really?" asks Scrumpy.
"Yup," says Homer.
"How did that happen?" asks Scrumpy.
"Well," explains Homer, "I guess the old horse was acting kind of crazy, running out of the stable, half scorched, in the middle of the night, and kicked him."
"The horse?" cries Scrumpy. "Half scorched?"
"Yup," explains Homer. "When the barn burnt down and all the hay went up in smoke, the horse got scorched."
"Really?" cries Scrumpy. "The barn burnt down?"
"Yup," replies Homer. "I guess a few sparks must have jumped from the house to start it. I got out of the house just in time."
"Really?" cries Scrumpy. "The house was on fire? How did you get out?"
"Well," explains Homer, "your wife kicked me out of bed and woke me up!"
"Really?" shouts Scrumpy. "You were in bed with my wife?"
"Yup! We were drinking your homemade whiskey."
"Really?" shouts Scrumpy. "You were drinking my whiskey and in my bed with my wife? Where is she now?"
"Well," explains Homer, "she got crisped in the fire, but don't worry! I saved the whiskey!"
"Thank God!" cries Scrumpy. "Did anything else happen?"
"Nope," explains Homer, "it was a pretty quiet weekend!"

Nivedano...

(drumbeat)

(gibberish)

Nivedano...

(drumbeat)

Be silent...
Close your eyes...
Feel your body to be completely frozen.
This is the right moment to look inwards, with your total consciousness, with your total life energy, and with an urgency as if this is your last moment on the earth.
Go deeper and deeper, penetrating every layer.
As you go deeper, you will find deep silence descending on you.
Deeper... a great peace that passeth understanding.
Still more, deeper... and flowers start showering on you with a fragrance you have never known.
At the very center of your being you will find yourself -- not the way you have known up to now, but in a totally new way. You will find yourself one of the buddhas, alert, awakened.
And the buddha has only one quality: witnessing.
Now witness: the body is not you, the mind is not you -- even the astral body is not you. Neither the silence, the peace, nor the fragrances are you. They are all around you, but you are only a witness.
Your only quality that is eternal is witnessing.
To make it clear, Nivedano...

(drumbeat)

Relax...
Let go, but remain a witness, remain a buddha.
This moment, you are the most blessed people on the earth. Ten thousand buddhas are melting, dissolving, and the Buddha Auditorium has become an ocean of consciousness.
Drink as much from this divine juice as possible, and persuade the buddha to come with you. He has been hiding in you for thousands of lives. Tell him to come out to the periphery, to the circumference of your life. Carrying water from the well, chopping wood, buddha has to be present every moment -- waking or sleeping.
The day your circumference and center become one will be the greatest day of your life. The continuum of your birth and death will disappear. You will be enlightened.
And when you will drop this body, this mind... with this body and this mind you will also drop your astral bodies, your inner mind. You will become just a dewdrop -- either disappearing in the ocean, or the ocean disappearing in the dewdrop. This is the ultimate peak of human evolution. The whole existence is waiting for it.
Whenever one man becomes one with the whole, the whole existence dances, sings, showers flowers, celebrates.
Gather as much as you can before Nivedano calls you back. Persuade the buddha.... It is your innermost core, it is nobody else's monopoly. Hold his hand, show him the way, the golden path that you have traveled to the center.
Now don't come alone. Come with the buddha following you. He has to become your everyday life, your breathing, your heartbeat. He has to sing with you, he has to dance with you.
His being with you all the time will make your life a continuous festival.

Nivedano...

(drumbeat)

Come... but don't come alone.
Come as a buddha: peacefully, silent, with great grace.
Sit for a few minutes just to remember where you have been, just to remind you of your inner splendor, the great silence you encountered, and the buddha who has come as a shadow behind you. Each day he is coming closer and closer to you.
The day you and the buddha dissolve into each other, you are awakened, you are enlightened.
This is true religion.
This is authentic spirituality.
It does not depend on any organization or church. It is absolutely your journey towards your home. It is remembering a forgotten language.
And if one man can become a buddha, it is a proof that every man can become a buddha.
One seed makes the whole earth green.

Okay, Maneesha?
Yes, Beloved Master.
