Doer?

Doer?

Just move on, don’t say, 'I am the doer', or, 'I am not the doer'. Anyway no one is a doer in one sense, and in another sense, yes, you are the doer, because inside of you there are two.

There is a beautiful story in the Upanishads which says, 'On the tree of this universe, there are two birds sitting, one is enjoying the fruit, the other is just watching, like a witness'. So, there is one aspect of you that is not doing anything, that is much bigger. And there is one aspect in you that is doing everything. Both are present in you.

Now you might ask, 'How?'

On one level, you find that you are changing. Your thoughts are changing, your emotions are changing, your body is changing. Yet at another deeper level, there is something in you that is not changing at all; it is the same. So it is not one or the other, it is both together simultaneously.

Q: Guruji, it is said that the actual matter in our body can be contained in a match box, and the rest is just empty space. Can you please explain the phenomena of levitation in this context?

Guruji: When you want to stand up, what do you do? Your whole body is on the ground. It is when your mind says to the body, ‘Okay, now get up’, this whole mass of 65 to 70 kilos gets up and starts walking. You take the support of your toes and you walk by taking support of your toes. That is how your body is lifted up. So how is it happening? It all begins with a single thought in the mind, in the consciousness.

So when the mind becomes very coherent, it can lift the body with a single thought. But I tell you, I have not seen anybody who has levitated and suspended their body in air. Yes, the body is lifted off the ground. Many people have experienced this bit. But I have not seen anyone who has started floating in the air.

=======================

Gurudev, is there something that God cannot do? What is it?

+Guruji: He cannot be surprised! God cannot take revenge on you; it is impossible!

=======================

If you are certain that everything is uncertain, then you are liberated. When you are uncertain in ignorance then you become worried and tense. Uncertainty with awareness brings higher states of consciousness and a smile.
