0:14 said that there are 0:17 no goals in life no purpose 0:20 and yet we are all here with 0:24 enlightenment as our goal 0:28 please speak on this 0:33 if you are here 0:38 with enlightenment as your goal 0:42 you cannot be here 0:46 physically you may appear to be here 0:49 [Music] 0:50 but you cannot be with me 0:55 the goal is in the future 1:01 i am here and the mind which is goal 1:05 oriented 1:07 is bound to be in the future 1:11 we will never meet 1:12 [Music] 1:14 i know you are here 1:18 to attend something 1:20 [Music] 1:22 that's why you are missing it 1:26 i am here to persuade you 1:29 to drop the very idea of attaining 1:31 anything whatsoever 1:34 enlightenment moksha nirvan god 1:38 included 1:40 [Music] 1:42 if you drop this goal oriented mind 1:45 and there is none other than goal 1:48 oriented mind there is no other mind 1:51 if you drop it you are enlightened 1:55 enlightenment is not a search 1:58 [Music] 2:00 it is a realization it is not a goal 2:04 it is the very nature of life itself 2:09 as life is it is enlightened 2:14 it needs nothing to be added 2:17 to be improved life 2:21 is perfect it is not moving from 2:24 imperfection to perfection it is moving 2:27 from perfection to perfection 2:35 you are here to attend something 2:39 that is functioning as a barrier 2:45 drop that barriers 2:48 just be here 2:52 forget about any purpose life cannot 2:54 have any purpose 2:59 life is the purpose 3:02 how it can have any other purpose 3:04 [Music] 3:06 otherwise you will be in an 3:10 infinite regress then that 3:13 purpose will have another purpose then 3:16 that another purpose will have another 3:18 purpose 3:21 life has no purpose 3:23 [Music] 3:25 and that's why it is so beautiful 3:27 [Music] 3:30 hindus have called it to leela a play 3:35 it is not even a game 3:36 [Laughter] 3:39 now in the west the world game has 3:41 become very very important 3:44 [Music] 3:45 hundreds of books have been published 3:47 within two three years 3:49 with the title game the master game 3:54 the ultimate game the game people play 3:58 and so on so forth but there is a 4:02 difference between game 4:03 and play hindus have called it 4:06 play not game because even a game has 4:10 something as a purpose a result 4:14 to be attained victory to be achieved 4:19 the opponent has to be conquered then a 4:22 play becomes again 4:25 then it becomes serious 4:28 grown-ups play games 4:33 children only play 4:37 just the very activity 4:39 [Music] 4:41 is enough unto itself it has the 4:44 intrinsic end 4:46 there is no goal added to it 4:50 life is a lila 4:53 it is a play and the moment 4:57 you are ready to play you are 4:58 enlightened 5:03 try to understand from some other 5:05 dimension 5:09 you are already that which you are 5:11 trying to be 5:14 the more you try the more you will miss 5:18 you leave ali first 5:22 you simply accept yourself you just 5:25 be that suddenly it is there 5:29 it has always been there but you were 5:33 seeking so seriously 5:35 that was the only cause of missing it 5:40 you are here to attain something 5:43 enlightenment 5:44 samathi satori or something 5:48 to me all those words are nonsense 5:51 [Music] 5:56 because they again give you a new 5:59 line of desiring they again open a door 6:03 of desires 6:06 in the world you desire money power 6:08 prestige 6:10 then you get fed up with it 6:11 [Music] 6:13 then you see the whole thing is just 6:16 rubbish 6:17 even if you get you are defeated if you 6:20 don't get 6:21 you are defeated then you come to feel 6:25 that this whole thing is nonsense 6:27 now suddenly you start playing new games 6:31 enlightenment meditation yoga 6:34 god the other world 6:38 the other source 6:41 again the mind is at ease 6:45 a new world of desires has opened 6:48 now you will be after these goals 6:52 and money is not so elusive as 6:55 meditation 6:55 [Music] 6:58 this world at least 7:03 is solid 7:06 that soul that world the other world is 7:09 absolutely fantastic 7:11 [Music] 7:13 now you are in a deeper ditch than 7:15 before 7:17 with the first you could realize that it 7:20 is useless 7:21 with the second now it will take 7:23 millions of life to realize 7:25 that this too is useless 7:29 when one person comes to discover 7:33 that all goals are useless with no 7:36 exception all goals are useless 7:40 then there is nothing to do one just has 7:44 to be 7:45 [Music] 7:47 one relaxes and one relaxes so 7:51 totally because there is nothing to do 7:52 there is no tension 7:55 suddenly your boundaries melts 7:59 as is no melting in the morning sun 8:04 with nothing to do you disappear 8:07 the ego disappears with nothing to do 8:12 nothing to be nothing to achieve 8:17 who you will be the whole identity 8:21 evaporates this is enlightenment 8:27 then you start a totally different 8:30 way of life 8:34 you start being playful 8:38 you start being alive moment to moment 8:42 [Music] 8:43 nowhere to go whatsoever the life keeps 8:47 you accepted with deep gratitude 8:52 grace happens to you 8:55 this is what i'll call to become a god 9:00 the moment you start playing 9:04 living in the moment you have become a 9:06 god 9:09 i am here to persuade you 9:12 that you are already gods 9:17 you may be here to become gods 9:21 that's your trip i'm not concerned with 9:24 it 9:27 i know what i'm here 9:30 for just to persuade you 9:34 to look at your own face once again 9:40 to search within and not to go without 9:43 searching for something which doesn't 9:46 exist 9:49 life is a purposeless play 9:53 play of infinite forces 9:56 beautiful if you don't have a achiever's 9:58 mind 10:01 ugly if you have ambition 10:04 to become something to be something to 10:07 do something 10:11 relax 10:12 [Music] 10:15 drop the future completely 10:20 only this moment exists 10:21 [Music] 10:24 and this moment is eternity 10:26 [Music] 10:28 and only this life is all 10:32 that is there 10:33 [Music] 10:36 don't think of an other soul just the 10:38 other day i was telling the chinese 10:40 allegory 10:41 the man returned from the middle of the 10:43 river 10:45 he returned from the middle of the river 10:47 because there is no other source 10:49 this is the only source 10:52 and why he started laughing because he 10:55 suddenly realized he himself is the 10:57 buddha 10:58 whom he has been seeking 11:03 sin masters teach to their disciples 11:07 that meditating if you someday come 11:09 across buddha 11:10 kill him immediately 11:14 don't despair a single moment 11:17 kill him immediately otherwise he will 11:21 lead you astray they are right 11:24 while you are meditating krishna comes 11:26 with his flute 11:28 it's so beautiful again you are dreaming 11:34 again you are caught in a dream and 11:35 desire 11:37 and jesus comes and you are caught 11:41 in the web of the mind it is a spider's 11:45 bell and then buddha comes 11:49 and you forget yourself 11:53 the same master said kill the buddha 11:55 immediately 11:58 clear the the way don't allow anybody 12:02 else to be there 12:03 that is don't allow any gold to be there 12:06 [Music] 12:07 just be total 12:11 alone in your absolute purity 12:17 this is enlightenment 12:18 [Music] 12:22 i should repeat because i know you will 12:24 forget 12:25 and forget and forget you are already 12:28 dead 12:28 which you are seeking let this will be 12:32 the basic mantra 12:34 [Music] 12:36 if you can understand this mantra you 12:38 have understood all 12:42 give it a try 12:43 [Music] 12:46 to goals you have been giving 12:49 too many lives you have already given to 12:51 them 12:54 now try to live momentum movement as if 12:57 there is no future 12:59 in the beginning it will be only as if 13:02 but by and by you will become aware 13:06 that that as if is the only reality 13:09 in the beginning it may be just like 13:11 acting 13:15 soon you will realize that that 13:18 acting is the only reality 13:23 you have come with a ghost but i won't 13:26 allow you 13:28 to remain with your goals 13:37 you
