How it happens that our mind is always thinking about the future, about the past. And our mind is dancing over the cusp of these thoughts, which are like this. But when this Kundalini rises she elongates them and there is a space in between created and that space is, what we can say, is the present. We can be in the future, we can be in the past, but we cannot be in the present, and when you are in the present you are absolutely thoughtless. You just become a witness. A witness state comes into you and you start watching everything, not reacting. And absorbing everything, very easy. It’s a very wonderful thing that happens to you.
So this mechanism is placed within you to give you that special personality, to give you that new awareness of collective consciousness, and the last breakthrough of your evolution. Till human awareness you are alright, till that I must say they still are there somehow. But we are afraid of the future of human beings, because such a turmoil, so many problems, so many kinds of ideas people have, which is surprising that in these modern times what people are thinking: they are something absolutely primitive, I should say, criminal. Violence and things, all this has to disappear.
Once you are transformed, you become a person of tremendous love and patience. You love everything. You understand everything through love. It’s not love of – some sort of an expectations, it’s a love of giving. You just enjoy giving, giving everything is so enjoyable that time, that state and you become so peaceful. Then, as you know, the economics is like that, people will work very hard to have, say, a carpet like this and then this is all done, then they will have some motorcar, then they want to have a house, I mean, goes on from one to another, they are never satisfied. The thing for which you have worked so hard is finished. Then again starts a new urge to have something new. Goes on like that, the whole economics work like that. But here, once I see this carpet, for example here, I just go into thoughtless awareness. And what do I see? I see the joy, I feel the joy of the person, of the artist, who makes and enjoy this. Otherwise thinking, I would think how much it must have cost where can I buy this, or if it is mine I would be worried, Oh God, how I’ve not insured this, all sort of ideas which has no meaning. But I cannot enjoy unless and until I become thoughtlessly aware.
