Kabir says : i was searching and searching and searching, and a miracle happened: the searcher disappeared, and that was the moment - when there was no seeker, no searcher - that it was found.

When the mind is quiet, we come to know ourselves as the pure witness. We withdraw from the experience and its experiencer and stand apart in pure awareness, which is between and beyond two. The personality, based on self identification, on imagining oneself to be something: i am this , i am that, continues, but only as a part of the objective world. Its identification with the witness snaps.

The true knowledge of the self is not a knowledge. It is not something that you find by searching , by looking everywhere. It is not to be found in space or time. Knowledge is but a memory, a pattern of thought, a mental habit. All these are motivated by pleasure and pain. It is because you are goaded by pleasure and pain that you are in search of knowledge. Being oneself is completely beyond all motivation. You cannot be YOURSELF for some reason. You are YOURSELF , and no reason is needed.

The real does not die, the unreal never lived. Once you know that death happens to the body and not to you, you just watch your body falling off like a discarded grament.
The real you is timeless and beyond birth and death. The body will survive as long as it is needed. It is not important that it should live long.

Meditation : Start with breathing, because that is the most simple thing in the world, so simple that you don't do it at all, it happens on its own. Watch it, become aware of it. Sitting silently, simply see the breath going in, the breath going out. You may feel bored, you will have to face the boredom. Doing it slowly, slowly, one day you will be able to watch your breath. If a person can watch his breath for forty minutes continuously, then there is no problem in life. He can watch any problem. And by watching any problem can be dissolved.

Man is a confusion : confusion between the body and the soul, confusion between the material and the spiritual, confusion between logic and love. Out of this confusion, there is no possiblity of knowing God. Out of this confusion, you can go on crying and praying, but your prayer will never reach to the divine, your crying is futile. Out of this confusion, you will not be able to see the light. This confusion has to be dorpped.
