Shivoham

A spiritual discourse on the immortal Self (Ātmā) and a meditation instruction.

"When you come to the one who has no karma, then very soon you will also have no karma. When you go to the fire, everything will be burned. Only the pure quality will remain."

"Think two things. One is your problem: your unhappiness, your illness, your suffering... Second, smile upon yourself: 'I am not all this; I am Ātmā.'"

The speaker expounds on the nature of the immortal Ātmā, which is beyond karma and destruction, citing Vedic wisdom and the teachings of Krishna to Arjuna. The focus then shifts to a practical meditation, instructing listeners to acknowledge their suffering while simultaneously affirming their true identity as the eternal Self, culminating in the declarations "I am that Śiva" and "I am that Ātmā."

Therefore, some are above karma, and some still have karma. But when you come to the one who has no karma, then very soon you will also have no karma. When you go to the fire, everything will be burned. Only the pure quality will remain. Therefore, that Ātmā cannot be destroyed at any time. Vajrātmā mehu, ajar or amar—it is unborn and immortal, as has been declared by the Vedas. The same wisdom, the same knowledge was declared by God Kṛṣṇa to Arjuna. What did He say? "I am that immortal Ātmā. And you are also that immortal Ātmā." And you too are this immortal Ātmā. Listen. A moment. Today we want to sing without instruments. Let your inner instrument play. You have to feed, you have to think. You have to think two things. One is your problem: your unhappiness, your illness, your suffering, your jealousy, your fear—all of this. Second, smile upon yourself: "I am not all this; I am Ātmā." So on one side, these qualities; on the other side, these qualities. What do you think? I am that Śiva. I am that Ātmā. Everything. --- Recording location: Slovenia, Skofja Loka, Weekend seminar
