OUR BELOVED MASTER,
BANKEI SAID:
WHAT I TELL PEOPLE ABOUT IS NOTHING SPECIAL; IT'S THE UNBORN, ENLIGHTENED, NO-MIND INNATE IN EVERYONE. WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
WHILE YOU ARE ALL HERE LISTENING TO MY SERMON, WHEN A DOG BARKS OUTSIDE THE TEMPLE, YOU KNOW IT IS A DOG, AND WHEN A CROW CAWS, YOU KNOW IT IS A CROW. AND ALSO YOU CAN DISTINGUISH THE COLORS BLACK AND WHITE, AND SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN.
EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE NOT THINKING ABOUT HEARING DOGS AND CROWS, OR SEEING BLACK, WHITE, MEN OR WOMEN DURING THE TALK; NONETHELESS, RIGHT HERE YOU CAN SEE AND HEAR THEM ALL, BEFORE CONCEPTUALLY DISCRIMINATING THEM. THEN EVEN IF A THOUSAND OR TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE SHOULD TELL SOMEONE THAT A DOG'S BARK IS A CROW'S CAW, THAT PERSON WOULD HARDLY BE DECEIVED BY THEM.
ISN'T THIS ENLIGHTENED NO-MIND, WITH ITS INCONCEIVABLE QUALITIES OF CLEAR AWARENESS, SOMETHING TO BE GRATEFUL FOR?
BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT EVERYONE HAS SUCH WONDERFUL QUALITIES AND POWERS, THEY GET CONFUSED BY ONE THING AND ANOTHER. THAT CONFUSION ULTIMATELY ARISES FROM SELF-IMPORTANCE.
SELF-IMPORTANCE MEANS, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT YOU GET ANGRY AND UPSET WHEN YOU HEAR YOUR NEIGHBOUR CRITICIZE YOU, AND ONLY DISLIKE AND MALTREAT THAT PERSON. ALSO, WHEN YOU HEAR YOUR NEIGHBOUR PRAISE YOU, YOU THINK WELL OF THAT PERSON, AND ACT NICELY; THIS TOO IS BECAUSE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE.
CONSIDERING THE ROOT SOURCE OF THIS SELF-IMPORTANCE, WHEN PEOPLE ARE BORN THEY HAVE NO BAD THOUGHTS OF HATRED OR LIKING FOR ANYONE. IT IS JUST THAT, AS THEY GROW UP, THEY LEARN AND CULTIVATE VARIOUS BAD THINGS AND BAD THOUGHTS BY SEEING AND HEARING THEM, PILING THEM UP INTO MENTAL HABITS. ALWAYS PUTTING THESE MENTAL HABITS TO USE, VARIOUS KINDS OF CONFUSION AND ERROR BEGIN.

What is surrender? Isn't it also an emotion out of fear / or a subtle desire for something that can be attained only by surrendering?
THERE IS NO ONE TO SURRENDER AND THERE IS NO ONE TO BE SURRENDERED TO.
There is no Shiva, no Buddha, no Osho, no Meditation, no Yoga, no Yogani, no World, nothing....
(we are losing him)
There is not even Enlightenment.
(shake him up)
What does it matter to be Enlightened or not Enlightened in a dream world?
(*breathe*! *breathe*! *breathe*!)
(zooop... zap.... bing!)
Everything... whatever is, is already Enlightened. Even the thoughts... bad or good... are part of this never ending Enlightenment.
What we achieve by Yoga and Meditation is... is...

What we achieve by Yoga and Meditation is... is...
Let the bud become the flower. Let the inner being grow and become what its required to be.
One can postpone this event but can not stop it.
Its inevitable. |

When the energy is in the Chakras above Heart, you are in the realm of intellect and spirituality. And when the energy is in the Chakras below Heart, one has to deal with base human needs and emotions. -whitelotuseast.com
When firmly established in Yoga, above the Heart Chakra, one attains silence and wisdom which clearly distinguishes the functioning of Mind, Ego and Inner Self.
Mind = Like body, just a tool.
Ego = The image that has been automatically put/enveloped over the real self.
Inner/Real Self = The Real You, but is overtaken/ruled by the Ego.
It is very important that through Yoga, once the Ego has been distinguished from the Inner/Real Self, the Ego (false you) must trust the functioning of the Inner/Real Self. Or in other words, it must make way for the True Ruler. |
