It is to sense that "All is Brahman" when one sees with insight. You've already heard it, but it's not meant to be just heard. It's supposed to be experienced.
All entities are fundamentally of Brahman's essence.
If you start studying others, you will become one of the analyzed, a different creature, and you will be bound. Because you are thinking about a thief when you think of another person as a thief, the content of your thoughts is "thief." When you talk about worldly things, you treat everything as if it were real, and you act and react appropriately.
When you listen to or understand spiritual lessons, however, you seldom hold them in your mind as genuine. Maintain the mindset that,
"All is Brahman," and behave in accordance with that belief. Simply stating, "I've heard that," will not keep it dormant in your life.
Try it out in your life to see whether it's true! If you consider everything to be only paramatman, you will become God (Shiva), but if you consider everything to be simply the phenomenal mundane world, you will remain a person (Jiva). The world looks in many ways depending on how you look at it. If you consider it in terms of Brahman in numerous forms, you will find just Brahman. If you do this, the "me" fever, or ego pride, will dissipate.
- For instance, if there is a wife, there is a husband; but, if there is no wife, who can be the husband?
- There is a seer because there is the seen. How can the seer exist if there is nothing visible to see?
- There is only Brahman if you dismiss the visible, and what can the mind conceive about if all of your possessions are destroyed?
Only Brahman remains when the notion of "I" is submerged or drowned. Pure Brahman is characterised by the absence of "Me" or "I" in that stage. Everything is merely Brahman. Mr. "So-and-so" is not Brahman, but what you see objectively as a person by some name or label.
- What good is it to go to hallowed pilgrimage sites like Varanasi or somewhere else if you haven't discovered who you are?
- What good is it to talk about Brahman like a parrot if there isn't an internal awakening to one's spiritual nature?
Get rid of the poison that has been affecting your thoughts. What you do continuously over and over again gives you greater experience.
- Everyone has a tendency of talking about their senses. Drop the habit and talk about Brahman's insight instead. You become Brahman in this way by thinking on "That" all the time.
- Spend your time talking about Spiritual Knowledge. When you converse about sensory items repeatedly, you become more worldly.
Self-Realization aspirants should surround themselves with family and friends who are interested in these topics.
Do not squander your time conversing with people. Having devoted relatives is an unusual occurrence.
What good are all worldly activities if you don't know who you are?
Because the guidance offered by Saints, who are our "actual family," is a discourse in Oneness, it is immediately applicable to daily life.
Our genuine relative is the Master who gives us "The Path of Liberation." Like tightening the strings of a Veena, one should tune oneself (an Indian musical instrument).
The sound of the instrument will be resonant if it is properly tuned.
That is the type of relationship you should have with the Master. The person who helps himself is genuinely fortunate.
