Question:

Namaste Ektaji, the way a baby perceives the world: Just Beingness, neither the thought of separateness, nor the thought of oneness, would that be recognition of Satchidananda in Jagat?

Answer:

Yes dear. That is called Sahaja Sthiti or the natural state. It is one’s true nature.

There is no ‘I’, yet there is an ‘I’. It is not, yet it is.

There is action, yet there is inertia.

There is thoughtlessness, yet there is the projected waking thought.

There is lifelessness, yet it is deathless.

There is nothingness, yet it appears as ‘something’.

There is illuminated darkness.

There is no two yet there is oneness [assumption of the union of two].

Everything is in a state of deep sleep, yet it is devoid of ignorance.

That is your true state.

Once the innocent child-like beauty is superimposed by acquired learning, a projected Jagat clouds the truth. The only way to free yourself of this projection is to stay silently inward-turned and withdraw from the superimposed cloud. Silence means simply being the witness while rejecting the fake world+person projection again and again. It is bound to fade. Let it crumble away gradually due to a lack of identification. Be at a dispassionate distance! Steady! Steady!

What remains behind is YOU! The deeper the silence, the clearer the supreme truth.

DIVE WITHIN AND FIND THAT INNER CHILD!
