A Little Bit of Clarity

One second of clarity is all you need to save the day. It'€™s not like you have to have two tons of it. It'€™s not like you have to be pasted in clarity. That'€™s not what you need. Just a little bit. Potent stuff. Really, really strong stuff, clarity. Powerful.

What is the reality? You are alive. That's the reality. What's going to happen tomorrow? Don't worry. It will happen. Something will happen. And, two possibilities: One, you might die. If you die, you don't have to worry about it. Because you'€™ll be gone. So if you don'€™t show up for your job and you're dead, and your boss says, "€œThat guy," you know, "why did he do that," you don'€™t really have to answer.

The other possibility is that you'€™ll be alive. So now the fact that you will be alive - that's a possibility - you can do something about that. You can prepare to really greet tomorrow. With consciousness, with clarity, with understanding, with a heart full of joy. If you'€™re going to die, you don'€™t have to worry about it. You don't even have to pay your tickets. If you have lots of parking tickets, it'€™s okay. It's not like they're going to chase you, you know? It's over, it's over. Nothing to prepare.

But, alive, you can do something. Every day. You see, the beauty of all this is, quantity is not an issue. Quantity is not an issue. Nobody says, "You have to have one gallon of clarity."€ That's if clarity is liquid. Is clarity liquid or solid? You know, so, 50 pounds of clarity. No. It doesn'€™t matter. Quantity is not the issue.

This is actually very fascinating because these things - peace, love, understanding - are in themselves complete. And the tiniest amount is the same as all it could be. They do not require measurements.

If you have understanding, it doesn't matter how much. Whatever little bit of understanding you have, it is as though having all the understanding a human being can possibly have. And love is like that, too. It cannot be measured.

How much effort does it take to get out from under the burden of confusion? How much? I mean, this can last years feeling sorry, feeling guilty, feeling this, feeling that. And a little bit of clarity, a little bit can stop all that.

What You Feel

It’s not about the what’s going on in the world.  It’s about what’s going on in your life.
It’s about what you see.  What you feel. 

Do you feel your heart?  Do you feel the passion to want peace in your life?  Do you feel the passion for joy in your life?  Do you feel the passion for contentment in your life? Do you feel the passion for understanding in your life?

Do you feel the passion for clarity in your life? What do you want? 

What drives you?  Every day, what drives you?  Is it the logic or is it the passion?  Is it all your reasonings – “But I have to, but I have to…”  Or is it the desire from deep within you to want to be fulfilled? 

If you acknowledge that in your life, then it becomes the companion.  It becomes that force that shapes you, that evolves you, that turns you towards what you were made for. 

You were made for joy.

Amaroo - for You

What is your nature?
You understanding your existence.
You acknowledging your existence.

Because that is the ultimate receiving. Because life is the ultimate gift.
Life is the ultimate gift.
And that’s what that Creator has made available to you.

And when you accept your existence, then the gift is received. An exchange has happened.

There is an understanding of what it means to be alive.

A Special Place

"This is a very special place. It really is. It’s got its own magic, and as soon as you pull into the gates, it’s like, “Wow.” It’s something different. Something very, very special.

Here’s a time for where it is right. And let it be that. Let it be right. Let it be beautiful. Let it be simple.  Enjoy."

Maharaji at Amaroo, Australia

Where you are

A long time ago, I was in Miami, and I was listening to the marine channel. This call came through to the Coast Guard. This amazing call. “Coast Guard, Coast Guard, this is vessel ta-ta-ta, do you know where I am?”

The reason why I still remember this — this happened quite a few years ago, is because I think that has a lot to do with the human condition. Not humanity, humanness — every person.

The Coast Guard came back and said, “Where are you? Do you know? What happened?”

He said, “Well, I. . . . I’m on this speedboat. And I’ve been going for two hours, and I have no idea where I am.”

He said, “Well, how fast does your boat go?”

He goes, “Oh, I was going about, you know, 30 miles an hour.”

So, he’s 60 miles out there in the ocean. And you realize, further he gets out, he could be anywhere — he can’t see the land, and he could be anywhere.

He said, “Do you have a GPS?”

Said, “I don’t know how to use it.”

This guy got in a boat, steered it out into the ocean, gunned the throttles, and went for a leisurely ride for two hours having all the fun in the universe, till he realizes, he wants to come back home. And then. . . the only way, if all of three or four Coast Guard stations can pick him up, they can pinpoint his position. If they can’t, they've got to deploy the helicopters and then triangulate his position from what he is transmitting. Now hopefully, they can get to him in daytime, because it was kind of around evening when this was happening.

This is what we have been given to. We have been given a vessel, and we have launched it in this ocean. And somebody queries out of the goodness of their heart -  saying, “Do you know where you are?” That’s all. Do you know where you are?

Where are you? Because on one hand, this passage could be amazing. The passage could be that every day is filled with beauty. That there is an understanding. Every step is taken with dignity. With pride. With a gratitude. Being thankful every day to that Creator for what you have been given. Because when that gratitude comes out of you, you get filled with something. 

So, to me, no pretenses. Walking in clarity, walking in understanding every step of the way. What do you think that would bring you? It would bring you joy unparalleled. Because it’d be simple. It’d be a life. It’d be lived. There would be a reason. There would be a reason behind living every single day. And that reason wouldn’t be chaos. Although you would do all the things that you do. . . You know, “I owe, I owe. Off to work, I go.” Your job, your responsibilities - whatever they would be, neither would you compromise them, nor would they compromise you. Nobody would get sacrificed.

The outcome?  A life lived in certainty.  Every day, lived in certainty.  Every day, lived in feeling. When it’s a clear day, when you have that clarity.  It’s so beautiful.

Practice

What do you practice in your life? What do you do the most of?

If you practice being kind, you will get good at it.
If you practice being conscious, you’ll get good at it.
If you practice garnering peace in your life, you’re going to get good at it.

Of course, if you practice being unconscious, you’re going to get good at it. If you practice hate, you’re going to get good at it.  If you practice love, you’re going to get good at it.

What a beautiful thing that every human being has been awarded, that, all you need to do is keep practicing, and if you practice, you’re going to get good at it.

But you've got to practice.

Every step of the way

Something has been awakened.

When something has been awakened, you take the step.  You step one more step in this passage of life.

Learning. Understanding. Feeling.

Every step of the way.

Maharaji

The true human being

"If you don’t like clarity, you are in for it.
If you don’t like that serenity, you're in for it.
If you don’t like that feeling that’s inside of you - here we go - here’s the ultimate concept: what should that feeling be inside of you? If you ever had a concept about that, get rid of it.

40 years of wisdom, piled into one little statement would be – get rid of it. There is that beautiful statement - come with a heart of a child.  So ready.  Without the concepts. Without the ideas to receive. Four techniques, what do they do?  No hocus focus. They take your attention and put it inside.

When a person is in that place, nobody can make a mistake. It's amazing. No one is an enemy.  Everyone is a friend.  Courtesy towards everyone.  How amazing is that?  All that falls into place and when the person is not feeling that contentment inside them, the same human being becomes a monster.

The monster and the true human being.  Do you know about the true human being?  A true human being is truly beautiful.  Incredible.  Kindness is his nature.  To want and embrace peace everyday is his thirst.  Want desire.  The being hungers for contentment everyday will never knowingly throw even an ounce of happiness away."

Liberation

"If one is interested wants to make their journey easy and simple, I think one of the questions should be - "What makes it hard?"

Concepts.  Makes it really hard.  And what is a concept?  It is and especially in this topic, topic of that reality, topic of happiness, what is the concept?  So here is an issue, here is a topic that one of it’s definitions is that you cannot fathom it with your intellect.  You cannot use all the reason, all the logic of this world to figure this out.  And yet that’s what exactly people do.  They create a conduit of their logic.

If you look at what really is defined by ‘liberation’, it is freedom from those chains of concepts that tie you down."
