But inside genuineness and caring, caring about yourself, caring about the world, caring about others, just caring, you find the ability to surrender. Caring is surrender. There’s no distinction between the two. If you don’t care, if you are out of the emotion of caring and caringness and doing something else, you’ve failed, and you’re going to keep on failing. So, how do you remember care? You remember how delicate it is to suffer. You remember how easily suffering can replace genuineness, and therefore you don’t guard against it. You don’t guard against suffering, building a wall with the four noble truths and the eight fold path or the eight limbs of Patanjali, and so on and so forth. You don’t build up walls of strategies to attack this problem you think you have. You begin to melt into your own heart where the dissolution of the self, the entire structure of it, happens through Grace. And then instantly you begin to feel the Bliss, which is the intoxicating fragrance of release. Bliss in the spiritual sense is not waking state happiness. And that Bliss begins to flood and take over your mind. You can feel its presence in the body as Shakti. You can feel Bliss as Absolute clarity in the non-dual. Bliss connotes all of these flavors, and there ensues liberation.

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 ...

Participant: I have a question. David: Okay. Participant: … Something that changes: I'm noticing the light in my eyes seems different. I don't think I have cataracts and it’s, um, just my vision changed about a year and a half ago, in terms of ...
Participant: Even though the personality persists, would you say that there's a space of recognition between Essence and personality? So you can just see it, you know, and it keeps popping up at you, the more familiar you get with its ...
Enlightenment is a State of Being not a state of the mind and yet it’s only through the mind that that State of Being can dawn. It’s a transcendental state of perception that is revealed to the mind as long as is necessary for the mind to be ...
Self-Realization is that stage of life in which you realize that your Consciousness is beyond the world of form, it is immersed in Formless Being, the Absolute. This is the first phase of Realization. There is a more mature swing within that ...
When you hear the words of the Realized speak about Self-Realization, it sounds easy, as though it's the most obvious and undeniable of all Realities. It's more obvious even than the perception of the world. But on its own level the mind ...
