"Vikaar" Impressions of Favorable and Unfavorable Situations are Not in You

|| Shree Hari ||

(Vikaar Aap Mein Nahi Hai)

continued........

Favorable things are pleasing and unfavorable things are displeasing. This body, senses, etc. remain fixed in Nature, they never leave Nature and come in you. In fact you are not established in Nature, rather being a "ansh" (part) of God, you are established in God. "Aham" (egoism) is Nature. You are independent in whether to retain nature, or not. You are not dependent in this. The knowledge in which you perceive egoism, in that knowledge there is no egoism. You remain fixed in that knowledge. You are naturally and automatically situated in it.

In the light of your real self, you can perceive "aham". If it were not seen, then who is the witness to the fact that there is "egoism" present? You yourself are grabbing hold of lower nature. That which you hold on to, that which you give authority to, that itself exerts its rights on you. If you do not commission it, then it will not have the power to exert its rights over you. How can the thing which comes and goes establish its rights over you? You assume it to be "I" and "mine", due to this, you encounter problems.

Pleasure and pain are seen. Impressions of pleasant and unpleasant are seen. Just as all objects are seen in the light, similarly "egoism" is seen in one light. If there were no illumination then one would not see the "egoism" at all. "Egoism" is something that you grab hold off, not as being a witness, but out of your own independent will. There is no one whatsoever, who is helping you in the act of grabbing hold. Egoism is something that you have assumed. Do not acknowledge it. Saints have said - "dekho niraapakh hoye tamaashaa" become impersonal and watch the show. Do not accept "egoism" in the self, which is full of illumination.

In deep sleep, there is no knowledge of "egoism". On waking up we say, that "I did not know anything in my sleep", in other words, there was no egoism at that time, but you (self) was there. In deep sleep, you do not have the experience of " I am sleeping at present.". It is only on waking up that you say that I slept such that I did not know anything at all. "I did not know anything", this is a recollections (smruti). Recollection is experiential. - "anubhootvishayaasampramoshahsmrutih" (Yogadarshan 1/11). You recollect that you were sleeping in deep sleep state. In the deep sleep state, that "egoism" (I) was merged, but you did not become one with it. If you joined together, then you would not be able to say that "I was in deep sleep, and I did not know anything at all."
