Evolution depends on only a very few people; they can be
counted on your ten fingers. Others live a life of
middle-class comfort, and for that comfort they sell their
souls in the marketplace.
Beloved Bhagwan, in the story of the Buddha twice
swatting an insect from his head, how did he know that he
was not aware the first time, and how can he have not
been aware? I ask because although I am perceiving
myself to be gradually more aware, yet I cannot identify
who is the perceiver. The worst thing is that the mind
takes the opportunity of relative silence to enter a hall of
mirrors with watchers watching watchers, who are
watching watchers who are not watchers. Beloved
Bhagwan, could You illuminate or eliminate me?
Rashid, both the things are the same: to illuminate you, or
to eliminate you. They are two aspects of the same
experience. Without your elimination, illumination is not
possible. You are the only barrier to your own realization.
You have raised a question which has tortured humanity,
particularly the intellectual part of humanity, for centuries.
In logic it is called infinite regression. But existence is not
logical if you remember that, then the problem
disappears. If you think that existence is logical, then the
problem becomes insoluble. It is apparently true that you
can watch the mind but somebody else behind you can
watch you, the watcher. But you can go on and on; there
is always somebody behind who is watching. In logic it is
an absurd situation. In simpler terms it is something like
God creating the world. Who created God, because without
creating, nothing can exist?
