The Cause Of Return (Thread)

Most of us come into this world with the seed in us - "It's not OK". And all our life we try to correct events, people and situations. How much can you correct? Is like trying to rearrange the clouds in the sky.

#SriSri
This seed does not allow you to be happy, to smile from your heart, to be loving and lovable. It's there all the time like a thorn - irritating, irritating.

This seed - "It's not OK" - brings you back into this world again and again. How do you burn this seed?
1. First recognize that it is there. This can happen in deep introspection and meditation.
2. Sometimes you feel your body, mind, ego, memory and intellect are also not OK. You justify them or find fault with them. These are also part of the world. Acknowledge what you see as an imperfection and offer it to the divine.
Have faith in the infinite organizing power of the supreme intelligence and have the sincere feeling. "Let thy will be done". Then the seed - "it's not OK" - gets burned. "Thy will be done", is a state of total contentment, a state of just love.
We need not even make it a statement about the future.
"Thy will alone is happening now".
Question: So everything that happens is God's will?

Gurudev: Yes, including the thought, "This shouldn't be happening".

How to get centered:
Shift your awareness from the experience to the experiencer. All experience is on the circumference; they keep on changing. The unchanging experiencer is at the center. Again and again, come back to the experiencer.

#SriSri
If you are frustrated, instead of spending all your time on the experience of frustration, ask, "Who is frustrated?"

If you are unhappy, ask, "Who is unhappy?"

If you think you know something, ask, "Who knows?"
(Laughter)
If you think you are enlightened, ask, "Who is it that is enlightened?"

If you think you are ignorant, ask, "Who is ignorant?"

If you think poor me, ask, "Who is poor me?"

If you think you are highly devoted, ask, "Who is it that is devoted?"
