Bhagavan: Who says that it is not felt

[Guest guest]

Q: If 'I' am always here and now, why don't I feel it?

M: That's the point! Who says that it is not felt? Does the real 'I' say it or

the false 'I' Examine it. You will find it is the wrong 'I'. The wrong 'I' is

the obstruction. It has to be removed in order that the true 'I' might not be

hidden.

 

The feeling, 'I have not realized,' is the obstruction to realization. In fact,

you are already realized; there is nothing to realize. If there were, it would

have to be something new, not existing so far, that would occur sometimes in

the future.

 

What has birth will also die. If realization were not eternal it would not be

worth having. Therefore, what we seek is not that which must happen afresh. It

is only that which is eternal which is not known due to obstructions; that is

what we seek. Ignorance is identical with the 'I'-thought. Find its source and

it will vanish. The 'I'-thought is like a spirit which is not palpable, and it

rises us simultaneously with the body, flourishes on it and disappears with it.

The body-consciousness is the wrong 'I', Give it up! This is done by seeking the

source of the 'I' The body does not say 'I am'. It is you who says, 'I am the

body.' Find out who this 'I' is . Seeking the source , it will vanish.
