Seminar on ‘We are and we are not’ as also ‘we are not and we are’
1. Dr. Madhava
Rev Babuji Maharaj in his message on his birthday in the year 1980 said the above sentence.
He is clearly describing the state of consciousness which we all abhyasis have to reach certainly. This is a state of consciousness where the sense of self is completely and permanently eliminated from the consciousness which is simple, pure and divine by nature. In the end of the same paragraph He clearly brings out the concept(and there the whole habitation of desires get turned into desolate ruin, and the cup of the besmeared individuality is broken so as to be incapable of holding anything in it. SDG-156).
This state of mind is akin to sahaj Samadhi where “you no longer even feel the work being done. Rather you have no idea whatsoever of the work being done either before or after the action has taken place, but it goes on automatically as need demands. It can better be understood by the following example. A man is sleeping; mosquitoes or ants bite him during sleep or he feels some itching sensation; his hand automatically goes to that part of the body and he rubs or scratches it according to his need, but he remains in the sleeping state. Now he has no idea of the action either before , during or after it, and when he wakes up he does not even remember anything about it. When this condition is attained, i.e., the sleeping state in the waking condition, and you go on with it, doing everything as circumstances demand, without any idea of the work or its doer, then the actions you do leave no impression whatsoever on you; and a little beyond, it is turned into identity.”(ERY-77,78)
