In the sea of eternity, there are highs and lows. There are untold worlds of living beings, multiple universes, and different dimensions of reality. It is a vast, interwoven, interconnected manifestation. Yet it is very simple. To know this vast, eternal, cosmic essence, you only need to know your own self. For within every drop of water lies the sea. Within the sea lies eternal being. You, like a grain of sand on an endless beach, are part of a vast, interwoven, interconnected web of life. To know that web of life, know your own self. For within you lies the whole universe, as you lie within that creation. Infinite, eternal, everlasting, the flow of cosmic being is unbound. There is no beginning; there is no end; there is no time when there has not been this eternal cosmos. Timeless, immortal is the essential essence of all that is. The dream of your life is a dream within the consciousness, the awareness of the eternal being. That eternal one is the source of all that is and is the essence of everything. There is nothing outside of it. When you go within, stop the racing of the mind in the dream of creation, in the dream of your life, you settle the restless thoughts; there is within you a quietness, a peace, a love so great it cannot be defined. As you sink into that peace, into that love, the sense of self begins to thin, to evaporate like a mist. For it is a dream; it is an idea in the mind of the infinite. And you, what are you; who are you? Is there a you? As your awareness flows to the depths, the idea of you dissipates. There is an eternal being, known not with the mind, but known through knowingness. It transcends the brain, and the body. It is a knowingness that the "I" and the "you" that knows the knowing melt together. That divine infinite peace, love that surpasses understanding short circuits the brain and the intellect. They dissolve. The sense of the doer goes away. Who is there to do anything? For this love, this great peace, this infinite Self, infinite being, has no beginning, has no end. There is no one apart from the whole. There is an ocean of love, a peace that has always been. And you have always been in this peace, in this love. It is natural; it is your home. As you sink into it, you sink into your own natural state of being, eternal, immortal, infinite. You have always been here. You will always be. The dream of your life, a fleeting moment in eternity, is a drop of water, a grain of sand on an endless shore. The peace and love, the one, has always been, will always be. There is no time, no place. All places, all times abide within this eternal essence. Consciousness, attention, and awareness move between, are fluid. Always, in essence, it is the Self, eternal, unmoving. And within it lies the dream of infinite planets, untold beings. The cosmos lies within this peace, in the dream of creation. And in that dream, there is you, the grain of sand on the endless shore. You come, you exist for a while, and then you dissolve into the peace, the love; timeless, always existing. There is no past; there is no future; always, all has been and will be ever present, now. You have always been free; you will always be free. It is your natural state of being. You dream the dream of the past and future. You dream the dream of unique separateness. You enjoy the birdsong, the beauty of creation, and the pain and the contrast. You love, you feel, and you pass away. From dust to dust. But that which is you has never changed, will always be, was never born, and will never die: eternal, immortal, infinite, a love that cannot be defined, a peace beyond understanding. The attention, the awareness returns home. But you have never left. The you that you have known dissolves like a drop of water in the sea. Your dream of you is gone. There is only this ocean of love. You have always been free. To break the dream, all you need to do is remember your natural state of being. Let go. Let go of the dream. All right? Namaskar.
