I can live with anything as long as I am breathing. With breath, I can be my own best friend. Shivamatsu. The whole universe, the whole world is my friend. No Christian, Jain, Jew, Muslim, etc. These are all adjectives. Essence is pure consciousness. Everyone is pure consciousness. We are incognito God. You feel “I am incognito God" Atma is paramatma. Paramatma is purified soul. Mahatma is better human being, like Gandhi. Because he was practicing Ahinsa in politics and everything. When a person completely purifies he becomes paramatma. Same consciousness as we go on upgrading, we feel paramatma. Healing is inherent in us. Deep breathing. Focus on this healing. We want to heal this ourselves, before we go on to the next body. We go on changing. Experience "I Am”. If you feel “I Am” you will not be controlling. Then you can live with people without controlling others. Who are you to control others? You are insecure if you are controlling. People are empty because they are insecure. The weakest people on earth are controlling. Hitler and Mussolini. They made their nations poor. Controlling people are empty inside like a vacuum. It is like a stuffing, like what you see inside some toys. We are stuffed with ego, caste, creed, position and post. Once you realize "I Am”, I am not big because of an adjective or degree. Otherwise, always we live on other people's approval and dependence.
You have to be sincere. I am not going to depend on others' approval, but on my own inner conviction. What I feel, I tell. How can people know you as you are, if you become someone else to be with them? We always try to become someone else. How can they know? We are always complaining “People don't know me”, but how can they if you do not allow them to? Why are you a chameleon? How can they know you? Go on feeling I am love, I am peace, I am pure breath. I am breath of Mahavir, Buddha, Krishna; whomever you identify with, and that is OK. The mind needs that.
In the beginning this is very difficult. It's like having your hand in plaster. When you take it out, your hand can't move. We have become stiff for so many years. People are in plaster of beliefs. To get movement, meditate. Meditation is therapy. We have become stiff with ideas and identification of Christian, Jain, Muslim, etc. Those who structure you are your teachers. But they themselves are structured. Close your eyes. Don't go anywhere. Go to self. Take a deep breath and be peaceful. Inside voice will come. Awaken the inside.
