What I perceive in meditation, I aspire to become one with. That is the sun, the ātmā. That is Paramapuruṣa, the Supreme One. And that Parampuruṣa is yourself. I know that I am also that one. I am the same Self. Likewise, the Bhakta, the ṛṣi, advises his devotees. What are they to do? What are the ṛṣis doing? What are the yogīs doing? Ask yourself now: how much do you do every day according to this idea, this instruction of the ṛṣis, in your life? How do you rise? What thoughts fill your mind when you wash? How do you eat and drink? How do you walk and greet all that you see? How do you send your thoughts and feelings into this world, this universe? How do you work? Which thoughts dominate your mind each day? Do not rise angry. Do not rise sad. Do not wake with desires. Do not wake with emptiness. Do not be empty, and do not feel loneliness. As you open your eyes in the morning and see the light, it is as if you are wrapped in this light, like a mother wraps a small child in a towel. We are taken care of by the Supreme One. But what is transpiring in your mind? Are you angry? Are you feeling empty? Are you jealous? Are you sad? Do you have ego? Do you feel forced to do something? All this is not good for you, and it is not your true self. It is your ignorance. The more problems there are, the more humble you should become. When a strong wind comes, the tree bends more. If a tree will not bend, it will break. There must be flexibility. So, how much flexibility do you have? Endure, endure, endure. Nothing can harm you. This will give you more strength, more love, more satisfaction, and bring you closer to your goal. Try. So, how do you wake every morning? What are you thinking when you get up? "God, again I wake. Still, I am alive. Same problem, same thing. Again, I have to go to the kitchen and cook my coffee. The same toast or the same dahlia." There are people who think like this: "Again, I have to wash. Again, I have to go to the bus." There are people like this. Unlucky. I would say they are the unlucky ones. They are very poor. May God give them right knowledge. Therefore, it is said: "I am thy Self." Show Him, "I am that, and that I am." I know this, but I have not realized this. Either your love is too strong, or my love is not strong enough. Your commands, your instructions—I cannot follow them, my Lord. And you know, for me to disobey your instructions is to run away from my path. To disobey your world's vākyās is, for me, a descent of my spirituality, not an ascent. You are disobeying because you do not have that love. You still have a lot of ego, a great deal of ego that you do not understand. We do not understand what God wills, and why it is like this. Well, it is like that. Why that answer? No one can answer you. Only you can answer yourself. And that will be answered after a long, long time. And that time can become very long indeed if you are not able to follow the instructions.
