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.

David: Yes. Participant: A comment which leads to a question. I think you’ve answered it. My experience as I become more and more comfortable in myself, in the big self, is that instead of experiencing thoughts on the more surface level, I ...
When you speak directly out of your heart and out your experience then there is no mistake that it’s real. There is no doubt. Your own self will never lie to you. Your husband will lie, your wife will lie, your guru will lie, the religious books ...
Feel this expansive love that’s happening. So if your self is awake you should be able to feel that magnetic love pulse going on. That rhythm of love that’s in the heart, it’s like a poem, eternally and silently being recited from within itself. ...
Anyway, you better ask me questions because I'll just keep talking. The reason I keep talking is, I don't want to go into deep meditation. I want to stay with you. I'm just being drawn back, tempted to go into That. I don't want to do that. I ...
It’s in this kind of condition...this condition that is arising all on its own, that anything can be transmuted into bliss. No matter how dense your suffering is. There is a very distinct possibility that your own experience, just as it is, can ...
David: Now, in addition to Atman and Brahman, can you feel the shakti? Can you feel this current? ....this power? Participant: It's sort of a vibrating bliss. David: It's not "sort of". Get rid of "sort of", that's in the field of “maybe”. It's ...
David: Yes. Participant: When Brahman shows up, as you put it, is it self-authenticating? Is it obvious? David: Oh my god. It's beyond that. It's too big to know. Brahman is too big to know. You should know that you know. There can be no way ...

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 ...
