As mentioned this morning, people have a problem knowing themselves. Many people do not want to know what they have done, many do not want to know how they are, and many are afraid because they feel subconsciously or consciously guilty. But you know, you cannot run away from this. Day by day, the distance is growing towards you. And if you meditate, you are coming back. Day by day, closer to thyself, you will become the best friend of thyself, and you become the Self. You are the Self, but now, through this Kriyānushṭhān, you will realize that, yes, I am that Self. Until today, I was thinking: I am lost, I am poor, I am unhappy, no one loves me. I have to find my path. I have to earn my money. I have to fight against all this. Yes, that is what ignorance is telling. That is one of the biggest stupidities. I, I—not this, but myself, the Ātmā. So, in the morning, when you begin your sādhanā, it is a beautiful day where in nature the birds are singing, flowers are opening, the whole nature is awakened, and you see this beautiful place. Can you describe how heaven looks? Because we have not been in heaven, and because there is no heaven. If there is a heaven, then all will be stuck there; nobody would want to come back. Heaven is our imagination, that is it. Where you feel happy, pleasant, beautiful, safe, then that is heaven. And where you feel unpleasant, for you, one sentence from one person can bring you into the feelings of being in heaven, and one sentence from someone can bring you and make you feel like you are in hell. And that is only a change of your mind. That is a change of your imagination. We have to achieve that level of our being. It does not matter who does what; we are untouched by that. Yes, the dirt will fall. Dust will fall on your shoulder. Yes. But you should be able to do like this. That is it. Yes. Finished. How easy it is. She said something negative to him, and he said, "Thank you very much. All right. Thank you." That is all. Why did you say this to me? You are wrong. You are this. You are that. Why do you waste your time so much? You are creating one thought after another, one thought after another. So it can be that we have a dust here, yes. You know my problem: when I am eating, often a rice grain remains stuck in my beard, and people are always sitting and looking, and finally they are so much disturbed they cannot keep themselves back. "Excuse me, you have something hanging in your beard." And then I see, oh yes. So, Naisa father reminds me, though it does not disturb me, is he hanging his spaghetti or a rice grain? But it disturbs others, and therefore, as a self-respect, I should clean it or remove it. How is he, without creating some tension, and say, "How can you tell me this? It is my beard and my rice." This is unnecessary. So we should accept our weaknesses, our mistakes, and learn from that, not to let the dust on this again. That is it. And is this a dust? It cannot be that bad; that rice is eatable. I was eating, and it fell from the spoon and hung here. What is that? But our eyes go again and again to that particular point.
