Good morning.

Kalki Avatharayai NamahaπŸ’πŸŒΈ

Q) Dear Bhagavan,

when we do any work, when we claim that we have done it, are we craving for significance there? or are we trying to control reality to get attention?

please bhagavan, give us more clarity on this because we know that craving for significance is the biggest obstacle in spirituality.

And also, please explain this teaching “There is no controller. Controller is arising because you are trying to manipulate the reality.” and please guide us how to apply this teaching in our daily lives. Thank you Bhagavan.

Shri Bhagavan:-

“Oneness gives teachings for inner world as well as for the external world. For the inner world the teaching is generally passive in nature and for the external world it is generally active in nature.

In the external world, we expect you to express your self fully. when you do a job, you have to take full responsibility and ownership of it, we have never asked you to become total zero or to become a “nobody” there in those situations. let us say that you drew a painting or make something, you have to express and take a stand that you did it, but internally, you must realize that it is the divine who is expressing itself through you. the creation expresses it’s creativity through you.

So the teachings must be properly applied.

Now, When we say that you are “nobody” what we mean by that is, You need to be consciously aware & see that you have this feeling, that you can control; you can change the course of events, you can stop smoking, drinking etc., you can control your Friends, Parents, wife, husband, children etc. you assume that you can control your thoughts, mind etc. In short, you feel that you are the controller.

But, in reality, there is no controller. That is an illusion created by the mind because, the mind is either creating a projected ideal or moving into the past and trying to modify the present reality. It is either going into hope, or non acceptance of the past and trying to manipulate reality and gives you the illusion that you are doing it.

There is nobody there but a flow of thoughts. You are not controlling the thoughts. In the first place you are not there. When the blades of a fan rotate at good speed, it appears as a disk. But there is no disk there. It is an illusion created by the speed of rotation. Here too, the manipulation to change reality creates the illusion of the controller.

One must make an effort to contemplate on these teachings, That is why we ask you to contemplate on teachings so that you become more aware of its real meaning, just merely understanding it intellectually is not going to help you at all.

Thanks & Gratitude

Bhagavan
