  • - You got thinking eyes.

  • - I was thinking whether I should ask you something more.

  • How do we kind of get a control about our feelings, like you know...

  • Um, how do I make myself love everybody?

  • At the minute there are some people,

  • there are some human beings whom, I don't know...

  • I just can't stand... I don't know if it is the right word, but you know...

  • But, you know, I just don't want to be like that but...

  • It's just kind of... it's there in the mind, you know what I mean.

  • I suppose it's control over the mind, which I don't have.

  • - Don't try to love everybody.

  • Don't TRY to love everybody.

  • Maybe try to...at least you can try some...just try to be fair

  • But don't try to LOVE everyone.

  • - Well, love in the sense...

  • - No, I don't mean, you know, affectionately.

  • But you know, sometimes there will always be one or two.

  • - So it's perfectly normal then.

  • - Yeah, of course it's very normal.

  • - So I am real normal...

  • - Well, sometimes you have to...there's a love which is not

  • ah, it is so all-inclusive

  • and it is so free that they say Jesus loved everyone, no?

  • But when he went to the temple and saw these people, you know,

  • selling in there, in that moment, he was not on a love mission.

  • He was...aaaahhhhhh... you see.

  • Be yourself, this is the way... and stay in this place that you've been shown,

  • this effortlessness... and leave the rest.

  • The rest will somehow align itself appropriately.

  • Really what I am saying, I am telling you, it's so unburdening.

  • We're trying to cultivate good habits.

  • Ramana Maharshi said something very beautiful.

  • He says, all good habits manifest spontaneously

  • in the delivered mind,

  • meaning that when you see where you really are

  • automatically, things come right.

  • You don't have to TRY to be like this or try to be like this.

  • You see? Because I don't feel that...

  • if there's a YOU loving everyone, I don't think you'll be successful.

  • You'll do 99 (%)...

  • but your neighbor... grrrr! you want to...

  • You feel, 'No, no, I didn't do it... I fail' and so on... so don't do it.

  • - You're the first person to have said that.

  • - Yes, yes, it's alright...

  • It's alright to not like some people, you know.

  • It's alright to feel... even the feeling of hatred can happen.

  • It can happen,

  • but you've not tied yourself to it.

  • It's something that also arises.

  • If you see really gross injustice or cruelty,

  • how can you say, "I love you"?

  • How can you say that? You don't feel.

  • You want to yourself give a good chop!

  • Isn't it? - Absolutely.

  • - It's natural...yeah... yeah.

  • So in the meantime, leave that alone

  • Stay as that which is aware.

  • Just keep staying... Stay as Awareness always.

  • Don't go to 'what should I do, what should I undo?'

  • Stay as the Awareness.

  • Immediately in this space of just being Awareness itself,

  • everything begins to slow down a bit.

  • And your perspective becomes more clear,

  • your discernment is much more sharp,

  • and there's more space in you,

  • more peace, you see more clearly,

  • and spontaneously also you're not in the space of making decisions...

  • but more that you recognise

  • It's so...

  • all the balance, everything, is already in you, the potential.

  • If you don't go through the medium of the mind to try and work things...

  • stay only in this place of that neutrality in you.

  • This is not 'being blank'... it's not being blank...

  • because even if there's 'blank', there's the awareness of blank.

  • Stay as the Awareness itself.

  • Everything is showing up in this space.

  • And immediately you feel the expansiveness in you...

  • and a decision that you would've made five minutes ago completely...

  • thins out...

  • and now there's space.

  • Five minutes ago you felt like, "Ah! I can't spare even two minutes to look!"

  • And now there's... infinite expanse.

  • This is how changeful the conditions

  • of the environment, of the emotions and the mind

  • can... it turns on a penny... it's just like this.

  • Don't get caught up in that.

  • Stay as the Awareness itself.

  • There's always space.

  • There's this huge expanse...

  • stay there.

  • And when your attention has united with that space,

  • somehow that recognition has a way of blessing

  • every other aspect of your expression - is touched by it automatically.

  • This is the easy way.

  • But if you want to cultivate good habits and

  • do ten steps towards, then this is a different thing.

  • And that's also a way.

  • That is the Snail's way.

  • - Don't want that.

  • - Hhh, I will show you 'Samurai way'... Wha!

  • Quick!

  • Some people like the journey of... "ah, go and yes, check it out and enjoy..."

  • This is fine.

  • Because it's the same Consciousness, it's playing this role.

  • But some... there is no more time for

  • dilly-dallying... they don't want to look around.

  • Just want to go...to get to that point.

  • What is it? to go to the residue...

  • if there's one...

  • - True

  • - You can take one year to be happy...

  • or you can be happy now.

  • What will you choose?

  • - Now.

  • - You're happy now.

  • - Think so.

  • If you go to your mind to try and work at happiness,

  • then you become very miserable.

  • Trying to be happy is a most miserable thing.

  • - Yes, you're right.

  • - On the contrary, if you're feeling miserable and you say, "Listen...

  • "I'm not miserable enough!"

  • "I have only 80%...I want to turn up that."

  • "Where's the 20%?"

  • And go VERY miserable!

  • Then you start laughing,

  • and then you find automatically, "But this is so ridiculous!"

  • If you try to be happy,

  • you know, 'try to be happy' is like trying to act naturally.

  • You can't do it.

  • Stop trying and recognise this thing.

  • - Yeah.

  • - Look at this smile! My gosh!

  • Now she wants to hide it!

  • - Happy about it.

  • - Yes.

  • Yeah, thanks to you.

- You got thinking eyes.
