So the body, with the sense organs
the mind which is emotions, instincts and impulses
and the intellect with its rational thinking capacity
now
the body, the mind and the intellect are made up of matter
calcium, carbon, phosphorous
Grosser matter is the gross body. Subtler matter is the mind and intellect.
Matter is, whether gross or subtle is inert and insentient
You and I are dynamic and conscious.
Where does it get it?
The parts of the car are all inert matter
and it moves
what makes the car move?
what makes the bulb glow?
there must be something other than the bulb expressing through the bulb
In the same way... What is it that is enlivening me?
and a time comes when... I have no capacities.
My efficiency is gone, my beauty of emotions are gone,
my brilliancy of intellect gone- even Einstein stops all thinking.
The body is there lying down
but he has no faculties, abilities, capacities
Why?
Life is no more expressing through it.
Carefully!
Thus my friends, there must be something other than matter.
the BMI to enliven the BMI
That is why in your bible it is said that god is in the heart of all enlivening everything
vitalising everything
lending their faculties to them
by his grace
just as the power has got light with the grace of electricity
the heater has got heat with the grace of electricity
you and I are today thundering as we are
due to the grace of something other than matter
Since it is something other than matter it is called the spirit
If this spiritual centre or the spark of existence or consciousness
which is one in everyone
just as electricity is one but the bulbs are different
the radios are different
the computers are different
the equipments are different
but the electricity is one
cars are different
Japanese cars or American cars or European cars... but petrol
the gas is one and the same
love is one plant animal and human
enlivens everyone
according to the equipments available
and that one reality is indicated by the sound symbol 'OM'
so the consciousness or 'OM'
when expressing through the sense organs
the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, skin of your body
there crystallises a sense of conscious individuality
I the perceiver
perceiving
with the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, skin. What? The sense objects
I am seeing... I am hearing... I am smelling... I am tasting
How do you see?
How do you see- So simple with the eyes I see.
Eyes cannot see
If eyes could see by itself
Everyone of us would have got only one eye
because we would have kept one eye in the office
to have an eye on the office
and very many of you... not in the office but you keep it at home
to have an eye upon my people also
eyes if I remove and keep it on the table
the eyes cannot see
the eye balls yes
and today in the modern world
it is not very difficult for you to understand
as in good old days
because we are doing transplant
so I die... but my eyes are young
and they can take my eyes and give it to a born blind man
he starts seeing through my dead eyes
so it is not the eyes that are seeing
it is the consciousness behind the eyes
become conscious of what the eyes are seeing
and then I say... I see
I hear
I smell
I taste
but all of them are me
I am conscious of what I am seeing
I am conscious of what I am hearing
I am conscious of the taste
I am conscious of the smell
the consciousness behind enlivens
and not knowing... I become Mr Perceiver
the see-er
the hearer
the smeller
the taster
the toucher
Similarly, consciousness functions through the mind
becomes the conscious psychological me
the feeler I feeling with the mind
various emotions
love, hatred, jealousy, greed, passion
endless varieties
the same consciousness functions through the intellect
expresses as the conscious thinker I
and the thinker I with my intellect, thinks the world of thoughts
thus the world of objects
the field of emotions
and the realms of thought are the fields from which I gather my experiences
with the sense organs of my body, the mind and the intellect
So BMI are the equipments of my experiences
OET represents the fields of my experiences
and I the experiencer
the individualised conscious ego
is PFT
it is not that I am seeing with my eyes
then you become a perceiver
but the moment you understand that I am seeing through my eyes
you become independent
Is it not?
through standing in your drawing room you are seeing the moon rise
now the question is...
who is seeing the moon rise?
simple Swamiji!
the window is seeing the moon rise
Why?
If there is no window will you see the moon?
so the window is seeing the moon rise or are you seeing the moon through the window?
so are you not you,who is in you,who is using these equipments
to experience the outer world?
thus, I the consciousness in the eyes become the see-er
in the ears become the hearer
in the nose the smeller
in the tongue the taster
in the skin the toucher
in the mind the feeler
in the intellect the thinker
Alas, in an unholy combination you have forgotten who you are
and an unholy combination identified with the body mind intellect
you say that I am the perceiver, the feeler, the thinker
and it is this PFT who wants private interview for the sorrows of his life
think!
