The document discusses the illusory nature of identifying with the body and mind and suffering that arises from that identification. It encourages the reader to observe thoughts and feelings without attaching to them, and to sink into their true nature as formless consciousness/awareness beyond the limitations of body and mind. Letting go of attachments to the illusion that one is merely a physical and mental entity allows peace, happiness, love and freedom to naturally arise from within one's own essence or source.

mind is the I. You do not know that this is an illusion. You believe it’s real, and because you believe it’s real you suffer accordingly. Simply observe what's going on in the body and the mind and do not attach yourself to it. Treat it as the neighbour's mind body complex. You have to let go mentally of all attachments to the illusion that this body and mind is the I. And you must still your being. Allow your being to be placid, like a motionless lake. When you reach your Source, reality comes of its own accord. Sink to your source by letting go of the waves and currents of the body and mind. Then, happiness comes of its own accord. Peace comes of it own accord. Love comes of its own accord. Freedom comes of its own accord. These things are synonymous. They happen when you discard the garment of the body and mind. Be naked and still. The body and mind come from the darkness. Attach to the darkness and you experience darkness. It's sitting by yourself, becoming quiet, sinking deeper and deeper within yourself, until something happens. You will discover something amazing. You will discover that you are the imperishable Self and not this little body mind complex that is swung by Samsara. That you are never born and you can never die. Birth and death are of the darkness. You will discover that you're omnipresence, omniscient, omnipotent. That there are no others. There is no world. There is no universe. There is no time. All these are created of the darkness. There is only the Self. This will give you a feeling of freedom, of bliss, of happiness, of wholeness. You will always be awareness. You will always be pure intelligence for that is your real inner nature. You will always be blissful. You have lifted yourself up above (or sunk under) the gross world of body mind complex into the heavenly world of pure consciousness and you will be at peace. We're not trying to exchange bad for good, they're two sides of the same coin of the body mind complex. We are trying to become completely and totally free of the suffering of the body and mind. It's a completely different dimension. I am talking about becoming pure bliss, pure consciousness while embodied in the darkness. Ultimately you're the watcher and your real nature is freedom. When you dettach your consciousness from your mind you're in a completely different universe. The goal is to distance your being from the body mind complex. Do not analyze, do not name, do not classify, just relax. The feeling will come to you. And one day you will feel the answer that there is only I-am, being, freedom, bliss, consciousness, existence, they are all synonymous. And you will feel your Self not as a body or mind but as omnipresence. You will realize everything. There is no word to use. It's beyond words, beyond thoughts. Words and thoughts are rooted in the darkness. It comes to you. It's like you wake up, it's like you've been asleep for all these years then all of a sudden you awaken and you know. You just wake up from the dream. Right now you react to the body, you react to the mind. You feel your emotions. You feel pain. You feel hurt. You feel anxiety, fear. But when you wake up all these feelings are gone. You realize the illusion, the dream, and you are no longer that. When a situation appears that usually evoke fear or anger, you feel nothing because you are detached. An emotion requires a closed circuit. Attachment to body mind complex closes the circuit and an earthly emotion is formed. You will no longer look at time. Time is rooted in the darkness. You will just do whatever has to be done. You will have no attachment. Keep your being on your freedom, on your absolute reality and then you will see what happens. Your true Self is shining. You can not feel it because you look into the darkness and imagine the illusion that you are this body and mind. So you keep the clouds from dissipating. As soon as you turn towards the light, the clouds of the thought streams will dissipate once again and your sun will shine through and everything will be resolved. When all of that has gone, the sun will shine by itself. Just observe your body and mind. Do not react to it. Do not try to correct it. Just observe it. And the process will take care of itself. You will know what to do. All will become simple. The whole secret is to be dettached from your mind. To keep yourself from steering the thoughts of the mind. You want to become your being and the fastest way to do that is by observing your thoughts dettached, watching your thoughts, becoming the witness to your thoughts without being carried away by them.
Fighting your thoughts is
futile. You must go to the source of it all. It is the "I am this body and this mind" root thought. Relax and soften this root by dettachment and thus all manipulative and anxious thoughts become futile. As we said before, do not attach yourself to what your person, place, time is going through. Keep your being above it, dettached. We have no choice in the matter. Whatever is going to happen will happen. So relax into your being. Your mind will undergo what Samsara has destined it. You can fight it or surrender, that is also predetermined. Only dettachment is the key to freedom. "Samsara is a taskmaster for the foolish and the servant to the wise," meaning, if we in the level mentally of body and mind, we will suffer and it'll become our task Master. But if we lift our being away from the condition and we keep our being on the absolute reality, we will not suffer no matter what the person, place, time is going through. Right now you feel bound to person, place, time. When you become free your person, place, time will no longer hinder you even though you may appear to still be in it. You will feel omnipresence. The whole universe will be you and you will be in bliss all the time. Just imagine how peaceful you feel when your being is not carried away by the mind thinking. Emptiness is not no thing. It is called emptiness because it means nothing exists as it appears to the body and mind. But there is something, a mysterious power that is an embodiment of love, compassion, peace, happiness, joy, bliss. The finite can never comprehend the infinite. Do not think about it, if you think about it you spoil it. Do not just try to understand this with your finite mind, you cannot. So what do you do? nothing. You simply become your Self, by dettachment. You leave the world alone. You leave things alone, you leave people alone, you leave your mind and body alone. So you say, "How can I exist? I have to go to work? I have to mix with people? I have to make decisions?" Have no fear. Your body and mind will do all those things, but it'll be different. You will understand totally that you are not the body and mind. Your body came to this earth to do something and it will do its job. You have absolutely nothing to do with it. You have been trapped in this body mind complex. Stop fighting, stop trying to make things happen, keep your being on your Self. In other words, do not allow your self to go outward into the body and mind. All of a sudden you find peace, pure happiness comes by itself. Always watch, always be aware, always watch yourself, watch how you react, watch how you think, watch the kind of thoughts that come to you. Be aware of all these things and the more aware you become the more body mind illusion disappear. When the being is quiet, everything happens by itself. When the being follow the mind, the world becomes real and terrible for you because you are not of this world. Whatever is supposed to happen is going to happen, it's all preordained, just be happy and peaceful inside. The complex of person, place, time, is the husk and all is preordained, so reacting to it does not alter it, it only drives you peripherally away from the Center and into the trap. If you understand a little bit of your real nature, that you are Spirit, that you are absolute intelligence, infinite wisdom inside this mind- body complex husk. If you dwell in that, that alone will become your reality. And everything else undesirable will vanish. I'm not saying that the world will change. You will just acquire a different perception of this world in which you live. Everything will become quite neutral and you will stop fighting, you will stop trying to make things happen or resisting what is. Yet the average person may say, "If I did not make things happen, I will get nowhere. Nothing will happen." On the contrary, it has been known by spiritual Masters throughout the ages, when you become quiet, when you stop thinking abnormaly, when you become quiescent, thoughtless, the husk will be lead and guided to what it has to do in Samsara. Your soul was trapped in a husk in this earth. It will follow through all the person, place, time steps that was preordained for her, no matter what you think or do. This is all karmic. Your job and your mission is becoming the Self. I know it sounds strange. You still think and feel, if I do not research my work, if I do not plan, if I do not think about it, it will not get done. But you are sitting in a theater with a rigid script and all your actions and emotions do not affect the script, they are only part of the script. This part you should remove from the script. This only happens when you understand, I am not the doer, not the body, not the mind. As long as you believe you are the doer, you have to struggle, you have to fight, you have to compete and you have to straighten things out, to react. But as soon as you realize, I am not the doer. I didn't ask to be born, I didn't choose to go through this position, to have the parents I had, to grow up where I grew up, this is all the karmic trap. And if all these were chosen for you, how come now things are not being chosen for you in exactly the same manner? What has changed from then to now? Only the seed of awareness has developed but it is trapped in the body-mind husk, the attachment. The same power that made all this will continue the making of you now. Will put you in your karmic place. Your job is to focus your attention on the Self. What is the Self? The Self is your real nature, that's what you are. The Self is consciousness. What is consciousness? Consciousness is the power that is conscious of itself. It is self-contained, it is omnipresent. What have you been reacting to? The mind goes out and sees problems and you try to resolve them in your mind and outward. You cannot. Your mind looks out and tells you "This is bad, this should be changed." Or "This is good, this must be preserved or achieved". But this is the illusion. And it is not that you can resolved the problem, not at all. It's like trying to figure out, what came first the seed or the tree? You never get anywhere, there's no solution.
There's no adequate solution
in trying to resolve anything in the outside. It is only the mind telling you that there is something negative to solve or something positive to hold. The great secret of course is to: Leave the world alone, go within your Self and there you will find happiness, joy and peace. To whom do you surrender? To the source, the Self. And you stop attachement to body or mind husk. You become calm, in the face of all adversity. It makes no difference what is facing you. You become happy, peaceful and calm. Everything will be burnt out. All your karma. All the samskaras. Everything that has ever disturbed you will be gone and you will be free. And you will realize that all is well and everything is unfolding as it should. And there are no problems. Look for nothing. Attach youself to non-existance and you will find peace within yourself. Abide in the Self and leave the world alone. Everything will come in due time. Do not look for a time, again. You shouldn't say to yourself, "All of these years have been wasted. I've gone astray." On the contrary, everything is right. The fruit is maturing and protected inside the husk till due time.
You have the freedom of
going within and finding yourself. Your job is just to watch, to observe, to look and not to react. If you can do that you'll be safe. When you wake up, it's like you’re the Master of the universe. The universe can no longer scare you, you have reached beyond it. It can no longer frighten you no matter what happens. And you will have a feeling of immortality, of freedom. You will feel and know that you were never born, that you do not exist and that you do not disappear. Your being will be inactive. It will be still, quiet, quiescent no matter what occurs in the body or mind. And you'll live spontaneously. All will go well with you, because the world will no longer have the power to scare you or to frighten you or to sadden you in any way. Bliss, sat-chit-ananda, absolute reality cannot be comprehended by the finite mind. You have to experience that state. There are no words to describe it. The mind cannot comprehend the infinite. The husk can not see the fruit. You begin to notice that you're becoming very peaceful, very calm. You become happy for no reason whatsoever. This comes all by itself, because your being is not attached to thoughts. And you have absolutely nothing to do with it. You have not slowed your thoughts down or stopped them. This is an important point to remember. You have not slowed your thoughts down, not you whatsoever. You have done absolutely nothing, except to disattachment from your body and mind. Allow thoughts to be, do not fight thoughts internally. Do not try to change the thoughts, it is futile and meaningless. It is just enough to detach yourself from it, and allow it. It makes no difference if the thought is good or bad, they're both impostors. In reality there is no good, there is no bad, there is just IS. Allow the thoughts to come whatever they are. Do absolutely nothing. It makes no difference what the thoughts are. Let them come, no matter how much they seem to frighten you, no matter how powerful they appear to be. Let them come. Why do the thoughts come? They are the result of the "I am this body, I am this mind" thought. Until you deal with the root thought, it is futile to deal with the twigs. Once the root is uprooted, the twigs disappear by themselves. Enter the Silence Know who you are once and for all. YOU are that which was never born, which will not prevail, and can never die. YOU are That which is beyond all concepts, all reasoning, all thoughts. YOU are That which has always existed as PURE AWARENESS. YOU are That which is not female or male, which is neither good nor bad, which is neither right or wrong, which just IS,BEAUTY, JOY, LOVE, HARMONY, PEACE, BLISS.
