What is the main
aim and object of a human being's existence on earth? It is to unfold
freedom consciousness out of individual human
consciousness. 
To achieve this aim, one should practice the technique of meditation
that I have prescribed. This technique unfolds the highest freedom, knowledge
or consciousness: the vision of Oneness. It enables a person to know,
on the ego-intellect level of his consciousness, that he is much more
than this physical existence. He is the Self, the Eternal Being. In the
waking state, one can become aware of the existence of that Self.
The Self is the source of all states of existence and consciousness;
it is the source of all the knowledge of all the things and forms which
one can experience on this earth. As you have asked me what you should
do in your life, I would like to emphasize that you should meditate.
You have to find some free time to be by yourself and meditate on the
nature of the Self, the real Knower, identifying it as your true Self...
Under all circumstances, remain the Master. No action, no friendship,
no company, no relation that divides your vision and causes you to develop
the sense of duality should be continued - not at all! Don't listen to
any voice that will make you weak, sick or miserable, whether it is the
voice of any single person or the voice in your own head or the
voices of your family or the slogans of society. Listen to the voice
of your Guru within, sometimes think of the Guru without, and remain
united with both. Then you will be doing that for which you were born:
being perfectly devoted to yourself, which is the Universal Self. If
you are devoting your energy to the Self, you are serving the world as
a whole, and you should not feel sorry if somebody calls you selfish. Always remember these words. The result or fruit will automatically
be the state of Self Realization. You need not worry about it, for Shyam
gives you a guarantee, a security, a commitment, a promise. The name
of this fruit is liberation in this lifetime, and the result of this
liberation is joy, happiness, love, freedom, and the highest style of
life. |
