When you discover you are the Self, remember the Self is all-pervading. Absolute reality is omnipresence. Therefore everything is taking place within you. All the so-called actions of the universe are taking place within you because you are self-contained consciousness. That's why there's nothing you can really do, as self-contained consciousness, for you occupy every space, every atom, every universe, and you permeate what appears to be creation. There's nowhere for you to go because there's no room. There's nothing else. There's no space. Space is only for the body, the mind. But when you discover that you're pure awareness there is no space. You encompass all in all. This is the reason why there's nowhere to go and there's nothing to do.
It's like you're a gigantic screen that takes up the entire universe, it is the universe, that takes up all of space. Yet forms appear on the screen. The forms appear on the screen and there's a lot of space between them. The forms appear to be going places, doing things, working, being born and dying, but you are that eternal screen, unflinching, immovable, sat-chit-ananda, parabrahman, and the whole play of consciousness is taking place on the screen, all within yourself. There's no place for the screen to go because it already takes up all the space there is. The only movement there is, is in the images on the screen. But the screen itself has no room where to go, what to do. It just is as it is. That's the way it is. Your true nature is absolute reality, the screen.
There's nothing you have to do when you understand that you are omnipresence. There's no room for karma, or for sins, or for anything else.
The game is being played by the beings who are projected on the screen. They're going through karma because they have a lot of space. They can go through all kinds of things if there's space. They're going through different experiences of birth and death, of happy and sad, of healthy and sick, of poverty and riches. The images are going through these things. Then they die and they appear to be born again in different lives, and the game continues for ever.
But you are consciousness, you are the screen, and you remain the same, always. There never was a time when you were different. There never will be a time when you change. Consciousness is consciousness. The Self is the Self. It has no manifestations, no attributes. It just is. That is your true nature.

Good article sir
ReplyDeleteSir please let me know " what is the purpose of creation & what is the purpose of human life".
I did not get this answer since long time.people say the two birds in Amarnath temple heard from lord shiva. Why don't we are not allowed to know that truth. What is the reason keeping it as secret.if all knew the purpose then everyone ( atleast most) try to lead righteous life.
Every where say " we are all coming from divine consciousness & must go back to join same " that part I understand..., but why ? What is the motive behind all these.
Really don't get answers sir . Am requesting you please please answer these questions.
You used to say will answer as soon as possible...., please sir whatever I read it gives only temporary happiness but these questions arise again ....., what to do ? Whom should I ask ...., whoever I asked no one gave satisfactory or clear answer. I have hopes on you that I could get some answer which will makes me contented.
If there is something wrong in my way is asking question please forgive me.
Thank you sir.Eagerly waiting for your reply.
Namaste sir.
