Satsang with Jivanjili

Namaste.

Just be with me. Let go of everything that is going on for you. We are just…. together. You just be completely at ease. Even to trust does not apply.

When you are ready you can begin the Satsang. If you have a question, please ask. Don’t be shy, because every question is always a question from the whole, to the whole.

Q: I have a question. How do you get balanced in doing this spiritual work and living in a physical body in a material world?

J: You make spirituality, being in the body and being in the mundane life three separate things, isn’t it? Now you have three huge divisions.

Q: No, everything is one.

J: Yes, yet when you really see that, REALLY realized that, you would not have asked the question. It is true what you say. But it is a theory for you. And there is nothing wrong with that, but it is not worth anything. We are not interested in theories. We are interested in profound realization. One can come a long way with understanding and thoroughly observing consciousness; finding the root of all appearances, all that you are conscious of.

Your question is for everyone. I’m sure of that because we are one. And when the question is in your heart, it means that it is a question in consciousness. Consciousness is what you are conscious of. Are you conscious? Can you say ‘I am’, are you perceiving and experiencing? Are you conscious of being? This is really already profound. “Everything you are conscious of is consciousness itself”.

Consciousness is Consciousness is Consciousness is….ONE and same in essence.

You get that?

Q: I want to reformulate my question.

J: Does it make you a little dizzy? It makes me completely drunk; drunk of the divine essence. Stay with me, forget your other question. When you ask me a question, you get an answer.

Q: No, it is a question on the same subject.

J: You stay with me. Now you are busy with your next question, see? While you are reframing the question, you shut of for the answer and you don’t take it in. So please stay with me. This is spirituality: to be completely ready to be with what is as it is. You just expose what happens to all of us a few thousand times a day. And it means that we are not just open for what is and do not perceive clearly, thus are quickly confused and caught up in interpretations and assumptions. We react from that, and are not aware of the loving communion that our heart is reporting to us from all sides and no side at once. From there we do feel misunderstood and do not experience an harmonious communication cycle at all. Then we are feeling separated… a-part and lose sight of the whole.

Comm-union means oneness. You can observe it, everywhere. Just by seeing how the soil grows the wheat, the wheat makes the bread, and you eat the bread and the body digests… where is the beginning of that cycle, where does it end? Who are you in all of this?

The only obstruction and notion of separation that you may experience comes about through identification…. observe this well. Identification with a thought…. an I-me-mine thought.

Be free of it. This brings about Pure Loving Action….instead of re-action.

Wherever you look, there is interrelation, throughout all of consciousness…. from the gross manifestation up to the finest realms. In reality there are no divisions….. all is changing all the time and we cannot find a division.

It takes real practice to come to see the dynamics of in- and out breath…. and to realize how live evolves from that sweet peaceful and empty simplicity. The “difficulty” is the “simplicity”. We are not used to simplicity. It takes practice, patients and willingness to observe how easily we get entangled by our judgmental concepts…. and to turn the attention time after time towards the breathing. The divisions that were once reported and experienced as such, slowly slowly get thinner and thinner…. more and more transparent….. until all divisions dissolve in the Oneness that we are and all is. Now we cannot make separations like “spirituality”, the physical body and the world.

What peace.
