A Billion Samadhis Won’t Make You Happy, January 28, 2010
The reason why you can have many different levels of awakening and still not be satisfied is because you have not encountered the ultimate ecstasy, the one that puts everything to rest. And it’s natural to go searching for more and more until you encounter that, that is until your heart is really brought into this completely. That’s what tastes the ecstasy. It’s the heart consciousness. You can get a billion samadhis and never rest; great unity and oneness, witnessing, endless witnessing and that doesn’t put you to rest. The heart has to explode in this final condition. But that implies total vulnerability, that every aspect of you then, has to be in That. There is no more two. Then it’s just One, one singularity functioning in multiplicity. Multiplicity still goes on. So, don’t listen to those Vedic reductionist who are telling you it’s all empty. They are painting a safe haven because they know that they are going to seduce you into that illusion, so, you walk into it. I’m telling you that there is nowhere to rest. There is nowhere to abide. You have to just blow everything, every spiritual house to smithereens. So, you don’t live anywhere. Only the heart exists. So, that naturally will be the end of all spiritual realization, the end of all spirituality, and the end, in a glorious sense, not in a dismal sense; in a glorious sense of having realized everything

David: Feels good just to cut doesn’t it? Does that feel good? When you realize that I don’t have to go on? My discourse isn’t built upon saying things in a causative sequence. I just talk. I could either be a lazy thinker, or who knows what. ...
Whenever you take something strain is involved; as in reaching for something and taking it and pulling toward you. That same principal applies to meditation. If your individuality meditates, their will be a resistance, a strain, or a friction ...
Moderator: As soon as you spoke about bhakti and Krishna, it was like a tidal wave of Shakti hit the Shore of Being. David: Lovely. Beautiful. Krishna means the "all-charming one." None of us can resist Him, even if we try. Even if we think ...
Sahaja samadhi is a Self-Sustaining Condition. It does not need to be tended. It does not need to be even realized -- or re-realized. It’s eternally Self-Realizing -- and it has no locale. It’s not about the “Inner Self.” It has nothing to do ...
All the faith that you harness will be through your own experience. The deep faith and trust and perseverance you show in continuing to come here, entering into this Relationship -- all that is based on your own Self-recognition. It’s the ...
Moderator: A viewer in Australia comments, "I thought I knew what the body-mind is; now I realize it's as much of an unknown as the Absolute." David: Correct. It is the Absolute. It is the Absolute. It can be nothing else. All the understandings ...
Participant: I have this experience over last few days, every time I feel like I’m going deeper and deeper, there is a resistance that rises and blocks it. It deviates completely. So it just doesn’t allow me to experience. David: Find out what ...
Meditation happens spontaneously as Being opens up to the mind. You can say that meditation is the response of the mind to the presence of Being, something that causes the mind to surrender, to actually revert back toward its non-cognitive or ...
Participant: Can you talk about the relationship between... David: [Laughs] Participant: Shakti and embodiment? David: I’m talking… I’m talking…. It’s a good relationship [laughs]. Shakti is embodiment. Embodiment is Shakti. That’s what gives ...
Even though I speak, my teaching is one hundred percent internal. It’s a deepening, an immersion and also an outpouring from the depths. It’s bliss. It’s the language of bliss, which is the language of the heart. Real spirituality is nothing but ...
