I am going through a very difficult time. I was feeling very anxious, but after listening to your lecture, i felt much relieved. I focused on what I Could do and did it. Thank you for the enlightening lecture. Hare Krishna
26:00 Also in addition to the last comment of mine around 6 months ago, in the words of Osho (extracted from the lecture: "Death: the greatest fiction"): "Identification - this word is very significant. It means you get identified with a part. You become one with one part of life, that part you start thinking of as if it is the whole. Nothing is wrong with the part as such, but the part is the Part; it is not the whole. When you start thinking of the part as the whole, Partiality arises. When you start claiming for the part as if it is the whole, you are becoming blind to the whole. Now you will be in conflict with reality. And you Cannot win against reality, remember it. You cannot win against reality. It is impossible. It does not happen, it Cannot happen. You can win only withreality, never against reality. Victory is with reality. That’s why all the great Masters have put so much emphasis on surrender and have surrendered. Surrender means to be with reality. Then victory is certain - because reality is going to win. It is always the reality that wins. If you are with it, you will be a winner; if you are against it, you are going to be a loser. And we are all losers, we have been fighting. We choose a small part and claim that this is the whole. We choose life, we take life out of its basic context - death - and we say, “This is me. I am life.” Now you are getting into trouble. You will be encaged in this identification. How will you manage death then? - and it is there, and it is happening every moment, and it is going to take you unawarefully one day. You get identified with the body, “I am the body,” then there is trouble. You get identified with the mind, “I am the mind,” then there is trouble. Getting identified is getting into trouble. Identification is the very stuff ignorance is made of. Once identification is dropped, once you don’t get identified with anything, you simply remain a witness - not saying, “This I am” or “that I am.” You simply remain a witness. You see life as passing, you see death as passing, you see sex as passing, you see frustration, joy, success, failure. You go on seeing; you remain a pure seer. You don’t get hooked with anything; you don’t claim “I am this.” Without claiming, who you are. Without confining and defining yourself, without giving a limitation to yourself, if you can remain flowing, just seeing, there is liberation. There is great liberation."
Everytime it is listened to the lecture becomes more and more beautiful and easily actualised and applied in real situations to overcome the illusion of so-called fear. Hare Krishna
26:00 the more such things are, the more created is our anxiety becomes. The more we keep for security and so called self worth the more we subject yourself to unhappiness. We are actually part of the whole anyway so what are we trying to attain. What are we trying to run from?!
