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

Moderator: A viewer in Brazil comments, “there’s much, much more going on inside than outside.” David: That’s correct. That’s why it’s important not to become overly fascinated with the form of the teacher. The form meaning the specific ...
The words sahaja samadhi sound anticlimactic next to phrases like Self-realization, God-realization, Unity-consciousness, Brahman-consciousness. It sounds anticlimactic because it simply means the natural state. Those other phrases sound more ...
When I say that sahaja samadhi encapsulates all the lower samadhis, and dissolves them into a new state, I don't mean that those samadhis go away. They are still all fully functionally present. Self-realization is present in sahaja samadhi. ...
Real meditation always happens effortlessly. You just slide into it. You can try to manipulate the conditions prior to that experience, that spontaneous meditation, but the preparation does not actually create it. It happens when the mind ...
David: I can’t speak for anyone else who is in the spiritual field but I can speak for myself in this context. I can’t imagine sharing That outside of love. It just doesn’t have any meaning outside of love and devotion. I can never teach ...
Participant: So the mind can partake of the Bliss of the Awakening and feel satisfaction from that, as long as it's not trying to co-opt the experience, we'll call it an experience. But if it does try to get involved with it, it's going to be ...
Now you can feel the Shakti. The Shakti’s beginning to really move now. Because wherever Shiva is, she's not far behind. So if That alone is, she hears that there’s a place where only That is, she won't waste too much time in getting there. In ...
