[Music] welcome to the Michael Singer podcast presented by sounds true in partnership with Shanti Publications for more information about Michael singer's work access to all prior episodes and information about upcoming releases we invite you to join us at Michael Singer podcast.com [Music] [Music] chrai G Masters people often ask a very very reasonable question when they get on the path even if they're pretty far on the path what can I be doing to grow more to go deeper to become enlightened to become more spiritual and so on and if you go out there on the web
you get neurotic no seriously just like a diet just like relationships like anything else there's just a pot Perri of advice of things and they're all good it's all reasonable and all helpful depending on you and what fits for you and so on what they generally leave out you will find when you get very mature on the path and you're done with I want to be high I want people to respect me and I want to seem spiritual and I want to go to God and I want to make sure I go to heaven when
I die etc etc etc and you're done with all that because you will be done with it at some point and you realize you're still here watching all that it's called spiritual ego it just goes from the ego that wants things money Fame relationships all sorts of stuff respect and then it goes to an ego that says I want people to think highly of me I want to seem spiritual I want to seem Godly I want to know God I I there's that eye again that's where you go deep I'm talking to you seriously when
you realize that eye is a problem and it doesn't matter what that eye is saying it's saying I am separate from the universe and I am trying to be one with the universe ain't happening Christ taught some really deep stuff he said you must die to be reborn what does that mean that eye has to go that eye is the self consciousness the Divinity of your being for falsely identifying itself as one particular body one particular frame of thoughts and one particular set of emotions my hopes my dreams my Concepts my views my beliefs what
happened to me what's my past I me mine I me mine I am telling you you will reach a point I hope where you realize you're not going anywhere with an i me mind you're just going to go into I me mind because that's what it is you're def find yourself falsely as a human being You're Not a Human Being you're watching a human being that's this whole thing you're learning about winess Consciousness you are the Consciousness that is aware do you have an ego have you noticed you defend yourself have you noticed you feel
uncomfortable when people say not nice things to you do you notice you feel really comfortable when they say nice things to you ego ego ego ego ego that's all about me being separate this tiny little thing here in the universe and that's what I care about that's what's important to me is me how can you possibly expand Beyond yourself not to mention to the whole universe or merge with everybody oh you all like to talk about being one we are one in the spirit we are one in the Lord when you're you you're not one
right the only one you know about is I me and mine that's who I am this is what I like what I don't like what I believe in these are my values these are my hopes and my dreams my Concepts My Views and this what I don't like there that eye ain't going anywhere except changing its costume so it starts off one way and then it becomes spiritual and it's still using the word I I am I doing well am I meditating enough I'm going to talk I can't believe we're talking about this so deep
look get something straight before we finish meditation is wonderful all the techniques are wonderful you absolutely can do them and they are beneficial but if you come to someone like me or to someone who's gone deep and you say am I meditating enough there's that word again there's that letter well why are you meditating so I can get past me I me okay but this is my sodna I Me Mine we still got it there it is while that is what is going on inside of you I am telling you you may think you're going
somewhere but you're not really going anywhere you're becoming a nicer person I'd rather have you as a neighbor than Ted Bundy okay but the net result is this thing of transcending yourself this thing of dying to be reborn this thing of letting go of what is binding you binding your Consciousness distracting your Consciousness holding it down so that it knows you instead of knowing god while you know you you cannot know God and I don't think anybody argue with me really all right while you're busy knowing you you can't know God why because you are
this tiny little thing and God is everything how can you focus on a tiny little thing and be everything you can think about it oh I understand it now I can quote the G in the Bible backwards if I there it is again right I can do all these things good I'm glad you're a nice human basically there is a state that you will someday come to when you're done with yourself how do you get done with yourself you just catch on that's not about getting what you want it's not about avoiding what you don't
want it's not about doing it's about being it's about yep I'm here and that's the end of it not what do I believe not what do I want not what I hope for not what should I be doing not what's guilty from the past not this eye stuff just hello are you in there yes or no you are in there aren't you that's not a hard question is it you're in there you know you're in there how do you know because I'm in here that's the only one that's going to God Christ said the kingdom
is within you literally within you within the one who's in there the Consciousness the being when that Consciousness stops being addicted to staring at this tiny little thing that you're calling I Me Mine it will be liberated you w't have to do anything one great Buddhist teacher once said spirituality is never about getting anything it's always about losing everything it's about letting go of yourself it's about letting go of your attraction and fixation on studying yourself I say this so obviously if I stare at that picture nice picture I stare at that picture and stare
at so thoroughly I'm very good at concentrating stare at that picture where I don't see anything else guess what that picture is my world literally you guys aren't even here I have to go anywhere you don't have to go anywhere if I fixate my Consciousness on one object then that is my life is it not that is what I'm experiencing you have done that with your thoughts you have done that with your emotions all of them nice emotions not nice emotions x-rated y rated z-rated it doesn't matter they're basically things that you are fix ated
on and you're staring at them and they're yours but they're not hers or his or this or that or 8.3 billion other people's they're yours sorry you're not going anywhere you're kind of stuck on yourself you're staring just like staring at that picture you don't see anything else you don't realize that yes I do this is my son uh oh I me m no this is what I like doing I mean mine you're still looking at it from thep perspective of me from the perspective of this tiny little thing which you are not I'm not
the picture I can stare at that picture as hard as I want I will never become the picture I'm the subject and that's an object the object never becomes a subject the subject is what is looking at the object experiencing the object your mind is an object every single thought you've ever had every thought you're having is the same as every other thought it's just something you notice do you notice your thoughts are you sure you have them prove it you don't need to you're in there you notice your thoughts who notice your thoughts that's
the difference in a major step in spirituality it's not what are your thoughts it's who notices the thoughts if you're busy worrying about that wasn't a nice thought oh my God I feel guilty about this I can't be spiritual I think like that oh my God I can't oh I like this this is nice I feel good about this they thoughts they're all the same they're thoughts if you look at the ocean there's waveless they're the same they're waveless in the water they come and they go that's what thoughts are same thing with emotions they
come and they go have you ever gotten really sad you ever gotten really happy ever gotten depressed ever gotten elevated and filled with love yes yes yes yes yes yes yes who experience those States because it's is the same you that is experiencing all of your thoughts they're not the same but you are the same the you who sees them experiences them so while you are fixated on you I'm not cursing you and everybody can disagree with me but you ain't going to God why because God God is everything it's the whole universe it's all
the galaxies it's everything that ever was and will ever be is that who you are no who are you I Sally so and so's wife and these are my children I me mine I me mine I me mine I me mine do you understand what I'm telling you so you're staring at yourself until you learn and how do you learn we'll talk about that how do I learn to not because I really am fixated on myself and what most of the teachings give you I'm not saying everybody there's some very very deep teachings out there
right but most of them are how to be fixed on yourself and enjoy it that's the life coach how can you find what makes you happy how can you find a relationship that makes you feel fulfilled and know words how can you be busy being you and enjoy the process more than not enjoying it and that's what everything's teaching you you'll be more happy if you have money you'll be more happy if you're married you'll be more happy if you're single you'll be more happy you have two children just catch on that everyone's so caught
your entire culture Society your species is so caught in the iy mind that what they're teaching you is how to be caught in the iy mind and enjoy it rather than not enjoy it he who dies with the most toys wins now that's just hilar ious guess what he who dies the most toys dies so basically you wake up this called waking up it just because we have this talk doesn't mean you was going away but if we can have this talk and you start noticing there it is I Me Mine there it is what
I want and what I don't want and what I like and what I don't like and what I should do about what I like and what I should do what I don't understand that very busy in there getting what I want I like they don't even think I is a dirty word it's a dirty word why it's a lie you are not what you're looking at you are not your thoughts you're not your personality you're not your emotions you are the Consciousness that is aware of them but you are so fixated on them that we
don't talk about it we don't look like that like I said but everything's going to teach you is how to do good in there while you're fixated on yourself how to make the self that you're not happy can your eego be happy yeah it gets What It Wants how do you know what it wants it makes it up you you decides what it was and then you go out there and try to get it and you say I'm successful if I'm getting it because I having a happy time in my life okay and I got
a relationship and this perfect I think I found my soulmate right till I found out that his pass and he killed some people ah no that's not my soulmate I was wrong can you can your mind change its mind can you have trouble making decisions you have people talk to me that all the time I don't like to talk about it you know I have trouble making decisions because you're trying to decide what make you feel better if there's two things in front of you and they're equal food here it is you really like that
and you really like that which one do you want I don't care it's not a decision I don't care take that one take that one right and if both you make you sick you know nothing you're trying to make decisions that your mind and your heart think that if that were to happen I would be doing better and then if you're trying to make a decision it looks like you're going do worse you don't do it do you so you're not making a decision you're trying to adhere to your being caught in this limit of
your ego just next time you try to make a decision I want to watch well should I go to California or stay living in Florida well it's hot in Florida oh you don't like hot some people like hot no I don't like hot okay therefore you don't want to stay in Florida well California it's more liberal or conservative Whatever It Is Well what are you I'm more liberal or conservative okay I want to go there right you're trying to see what you can do that will make you fit better feel better have less problems do
better financially that's what the Mind does I'm trying to make a decision of what will make me feel better and that sounds logical to you it does it's perfectly logical if you think you're your ego if you think you're the part of that's not okay you'll make decisions that will make you be okay if you understand who you are if you get to a decent State inside where you neize you're looking at the ego you're not it you're looking at your changing emotions you're not them then you will start to feel this shocky you'll start
to feel this this pull of divine energy pulling you up back into yourself as opposed to the ego pulling you down into it you will get to that point when when you let go of staring at your ego like I said if I stop staring at the picture oh look at you guys where'd you come from that's where God is the part you're not staring at okay you're so busy staring at you how are you going to see your Divinity yes it's true God dwells within you yes it's true you are a Divine yes it
is true you are God descended you're the everything but if you're staring at your body and your emotions and your thoughts you don't know that you think you are what you're staring at so how do you get out now that's where we get this popery of all the teachings they're all fine they're fine I don't mean it they're all very helpful at different stages of your path okay I don't give techniques I've never given techniques other than let go but somebody asked me the other day and I looked at it I said okay I'll give
you a very very very simple technique and if you do it wait to see what happens wherever you are and every one of you can do this wherever you are take what's in front of you the task that's in front of you and look at it as in the whole universe there's 800 billion zillion things going on this is the one that's going in front of me God gave me this task it's nobody else's task because there's nobody else in front of it they're over there they can be at different angles but nobody is in
front of listen to me nobody is in front of the moment you're in front of and nobody ever will and nobody ever was that moment has listen that moment it melts my heart you about devotion that moment has never existed before and it will never exist again it's your private moment it's the moment that the universe made for you you are the only one there but I don't like it that's hilarious I want more that's hilarious I hope it doesn't go away that's hilarious that is be here now you're here with the moment there's no
other moment that you're with there will never be another moment except for where you are in the now well what do I do about that you serve it you take that moment as something holy because it is it's your moment God created the whole universe and at this moment in that time and space that's the moment of being created and you're the only one there so it must be for you don't miss it what do you mean don't miss it this thing called honor and respect and appreciation you just look at the moment and you
realize the creator of the universe created this moment for me okay that's tough because you don't like certain moments you don't want them to happen but they are happening but I wanted to there's they ey you understand that right not my will but thy will you're get the deep deep teachings they're very simple you look at that moment you look at your mind come on be honest it's either resisting or grabbing or board that's your relationship to that moment I'm G push it away I G grab it or I'm with the next one what kind
of relationship is that with to have with God that is what you're doing and so the deepest teaching is you wake up you're going to have an ego it's not going to go away because we had this talk but you don't have to identify with it that picture is still there I have to stare at it do I you don't have to stare at your ego it's okay that it's there it's going to be there for quite some time by the way don't worry about it the question is not how do I get rid of
it the question is how do I stop identifying with it how do I stop projecting my Consciousness onto it as if it's the most important thing in my life that's very different than getting rid of it okay I got an ego okay it's complaining I'm okay with that I'm not complaining he is and I don't have to listen to him do I have to beat him over the head so he starts complaining no if I beat him over the head I've involved myself in him I've devoted my life to him have to make him be
the way I think he should be so he's a good little doie spiritual doobie no no unless he or she is so strong that unless you mold it and work with it you can't not identify with it and that's where most people are their drives and their thoughts and their Concepts and Views and opinions and preferences and hopes and dreams which are by the way is ego are so strong that they can't get the distance well then maybe if you stop doing something that's making ego worse if you learn how to work with it in
a way that it's not as noisy it's not as intolerant maybe you can do better but in the end that's not what you're doing in the end you're noticing that's witness Consciousness you're noticing there it is it has nothing to do with me absolutely nothing when it says but but I really want that you just go about your business it doesn't even turn your head anymore it's not that it doesn't say something who cares the Wind Blows the rain comes down and the eagle talks if you don't get distracted by it if you're not pulled
into it you not have a spiritual life you're seeded in the seed of self you haven't gone up yet but you're not being pulled down if I say words like that do you understand you're not being pulled into it you learned have a relationship with it and by the way we get this straight if you have that relationship it will fall off and the analogies sometimes are very good people use here's a still Lake wouldn't that be nice if your mind was still and that be nice if the ego wasn't causing all this trouble okay
all of a sudden the leaf drops in the leg and starts making some ripples that's the ego saying it wants something or doesn't want something or it's not happy okay so what do you do about that well you jump in and grab that leaf and pull oh really will that make a few more ripples or will it get quieter okay that's the mistake people are making they think you're supposed to go in there and mold the thing every single time you go in there you make it worse you're stirring up then you get guilt and
you feel this and did I do enough people go to me do I meditate enough I've been doing an hour a day I feel so guilty because I missed yesterday holy mael that's what you use meditation for to make so neurotic no you don't jump into the lake what do you do if the leaf falls in the lake you leave it alone you sit there and tolerate accept honor respect that leav fall into lakes and they make ripples what will stop them they stop by themselves don't they that's the most important thing you'll ever learn
about the Mind leave it alone you don't have to change it unless you're unable to abstract yourself from it if you can't pull yourself back then you need to do things to work with it and make it more tolerable to you when it's said and done you're not trying to get rid of anything like that you're trying to sit comfortably in the seat of self and not be distracted or pulled down by it and I'm telling you there's this major changing point in your spiritual growth where right now you're struggling to not get pulled down
but most people aren they're struggling to get pulled down and get what they want they're struggling to give you every single thing it wants do you understand that that's why there are Wars that's why the whole thing such a mess because everybody's ego is different they've had different experiences they have different preferences I like to quote psychology man is the sum of his learned experiences first of all it's not true women are also all right the sum of your learned experiences it's not true you are the Consciousness watching the psyche the ego and the and
the emotions of the heart be the sum of the learn experiences that's why you think the way you do that's why you feel the way you do that's why you like the color of blue that's why you like this kind of person that's why you don't like getting old that it's just the some of your learned experiences you know You' had experiences some were good some were bad and now you've developed this whole preference system and everybody's just different I try to teach you that there's no way anybody is even close to you if somebody
says to you I think just like you do they're lying to you why they had totally different experiences than you their entire life you met them six months ago were soulmates no you're not so basically you wake up and realize if you had totally different experiences your whole life from the time you were born and I meet you 6 months ago what is the probability that you think exactly the way I do zero minus 7 billion if it's true that your psyche is the some of your learn experiences every had different experiences now what do
you do about that accept it honor it respect it and don't try to make things be the way you want them to be except that while you're doing that you're jumping into the water you're jumping and threshing and trying to make everything not here go in the water and then every time a leaf starts to drop jump up in the air and catch it for a HS of water that'll get rid of the ripples I don't think so right it just make it worse and worse you just don't understand what's going on so what it's
about is yes you have an ego yes you have emotions yes and they are sometimes difficult to deal with then do different things therapy this I don't care whatever it is do what you need to do so you can get through but don't think that's the answer the answer is that you're able to little by little sit back in the seat of self notice that there is this whole psyche down there doing its psyche thing and be okay with that literally sit there and say a little kiss on the head hi I'm so sorry you
got hurt we can deal with it we're okay and you just basically don't try to change the world so that you're okay you just sit there and say I can handle it I'm okay everything I teach you I can stay back here even though the pull is fairly strong I've learned to let go I've learned to I told the other day I talked about that right it is not that you're trying to not feel pain or discomfort you're being okay with feeling pain and discomfort I'm comfortable being uncomfortable until you are comfortable being uncomfortable you'll
be thrashing around in there I don't like what you said I can't believe you said that to me take it back I am not going to talk to you ever again oh how are you doing in other words I was uncomfortable by what you said and I can't tolerate being uncomfortable so I'm going to dump on you to make you apologize or never talk to you again sleep on the couch for 3 weeks whatever it is so that I don't have to feel this discomfort again aren't we all like that I'll train you how did
not make me uncomfortable spirituality is not about that spirituality is about can you be comfortable being uncomfortable can you up there the Consciousness the awareness of being see discomfort and be comfortable until it passes that's like letting the leaf fall in the lake and being at peace until the ripples go away that is the fastest way you will ever let the ripples go away so it's the same thing inside you learn to be comfortable and if you're comfortable you don't have to do anything about it you get to stay in the higher state now I
told you what happens now you're in a state where you're not comfortable and you get drawn into the ego you get pulled down when you reach a state that not that it all changed but you're comfortable being uncomfortable you're comfortable you went and took tennis lessons you're married you got children you're happy you went and took tennis lessons and he was really cute or she was and you know all your heart start going like this hasn't been like that since you were in college or high school right and all of a sudden all is going
all right and you finish the lesson and you go home and say God I had such a beautiful experience today and I'm so happy to come home with all this love say who you had with all right but just basically bring the love home not that means I have to run away with somebody I have to go do something different because I couldn't handle the fact that love came up inside of me so not only are you comfortable being uncomfortable you're comfortable being comfortable I'm talking to you deep tonight so you're in there and yes
there will be times that things I've talked this before with you there will be times that thing go on in your life that you're not going to be comfortable being uncomfortable you're not going to be comfortable being comfortable and next thing you know the pull down and out is so strong that you can't see any way around it then you go through it don't you dare tell somebody you're not supposed to go through things you're not supposed to go through things you don't have to go through that's like wasting your time that's ridiculous okay but
if it's pulling you in you nothing you can do about it creting all all this suffering or trouble and stuff like that you're going to find out that it it unfolds and you go through what you need to go through and you learn what you need to learn fair enough that's why you're here Earth is the place that souls are sent to evolve it's not going to all happen inside a lot of it can a lot more than you think can happen inside you can process inside then you don't take on Karma you don't hurt
people you don't do all kinds of stuff all right but basically otherwise you go through what you need to go through but what happens is some point down the road you will find out by going through what you need to go through stuff falls off you go say oh my God if I had that car it'd be the happiest person that ever Liv so go get in debt go get the car and see whether in three weeks it's the same as your other car you get in you turn around you go somewhere after you showed
it off to everybody after you tried to make you understand you ain't getting Bliss out of that car or that relationship permanently because it changes everywhere everything that takes time that's becoming a seasoned spiritual person you catch on that it's not about getting things or avoiding things it's about being comfortable with things even when they're uncomfortable or when they're really comfortable right you will end up at a point just by maturing in the process not by forcing this or that you just mature in the process of realizing what I'm watching is not going to be
okay he's fake he made himself up ego is a madeup thing if it's true that ego and your Psych is just some of your learned experiences who were you before you had that experience no I'm so and so's wife no you're not you may be married to so and so but you existed before so and so showed up didn't you I mean you all of a sudden showed up you are you and the more you understand and settle back there the energy changes Direction I promise you I swear to you you don't have to do
anything because you're not being pulled down why because you're not being pulled down what if the ego sudden says oh my God if I don't get that I'll die and you go then there done that how many things have you seen that that's what it said how many things you seen if I can get that I'll be for the rest of my life and I'll never want anything else ever again right congratulations it always wants something else almost immediately oh we can get married how many children should we have where are we going to live
like no I thought you want to get married no I like more it's endless isn't it okay so you step back you learn to step back and what that means is I can handle what's going on not that it's not going I can handle what's going on outside and inside and when you don't get pulled down as much you'll start feeling this energy pulling you up people ask me what is shocky flow that's what shocky flow is it is the deeper part of your being not devoting itself to the part of your being that that
thinks I can get things I'll be okay or avoid things I'll be okay I'd rather let it go let it go i' rather have peace all right and then all of a sudden the shocky starts coming up and pouring through your chakras that's so funny I'm sorry I like this what if you never heard the word chakra what if you don't know first second third fourth fifth sixth seventh you know anything about them you will one day wake up and all this energy be pouring out of your third eye third eye what's that none of
your business aun chakra none of your business it's there how do you know I don't know all this energy is pouring out and then it starts pouring the top of your head and sometimes you look at all this comes out through your heart they're real you don't need to study you're welcome to but it's like because they're real you just study them and memorize their colors and their shapes and what's then they have nothing wrong with it okay but if you let go of yourself the shui will start rising up even if you don't know
what it is and you will feel in these different centers and then you will feel starting to pull you away from yourself and it's scary you must be willing to die to be rewarded now we're talking about letting go who you thought you were not any particular opinion but the fact that there is such a thing at all is an opinion and you're being pulled Beyond yourself and it will pull you up right how do I go about my life because I have a Life to Live While that whole process is working itself out the
process of working through your stuff the process letting go of your stuff the process of not going with the lower energies well I told you there is a moment in front of you at all times I've told talking about it because I live like that that moment is of God how do you know no everything's of God right every the whole bottom field is made from God's Consciousness all of creation is God's Consciousness and this is the moment in creation that was made for you no yes there it is it's in front of you are
you willing to serve it are you willing instead of serving I me mind to look at that moment and say this is a moment God gave to me how do I do my best you're not perfect how do I do my best interacting with this moment okay and then you do one more thing because if I do my best what do I get right I'm telling you if you're doing business and you're going to see a client that's the moment that God put in front of you that person you this business nothing's not holy everything
is a moment of God's creation everything came from the quantum field everything's a manifestation of Consciousness then treat it that way to me I can't even talk about it it's just unbelievable that that moment would even be there I always take you down to the quantum level that again you should understand these things where scientists found they look down there it's not molecules it's not atoms it's not electrons protons it's not even quork leptons and bons not even Quantum particles there's just wavelets of disturbance of agitation in this field there I know what the field
is but they notice that if it interacts with other fields these little wavelets and the wavelets are so many of them that they seem to average out and behave as if they were a particle there is no electron there's no Neutron there's no proton there's no anything like that it's just what I just said to you right well that's pretty neat okay that's what ends up looking like this oh my God how far does it have to come up and put itself together in order to your body in order to be the Sun or be
a star or be a PL every single thing is that how do you not be blown away that it even exists and it presented itself in front of you in front of your Consciousness oh my God look at it history look where it came from please listen to I told you your physicists and your scientists are your preachers they don't believe in God that's fine with me but the fact is they're telling you that this is what's happening all the time it's coming out of nothing it's the yogis us to teach it's all just light
they're telling you it is all right and then that manifest light comes up and makes protons and neutrons and this and that and molecules they bond together based on calent bonds and blah blah blah blah blah and she shows up well I don't like that she's wearing pink [Music] [Laughter] socks you see what you can do the then you start realizing that moment in front of me is Holy it's m it's my dance with God it's my Dharma that's what the word we use there it is and so what do you do with it you
honor it you respect it you don't like it or not like it you don't resist it or grab it or cling to it no don't go away a moment it's going to go away it's being REM manifest every single moment nothing stays anywhere do understand that not a single electron or anything stays in the same place period they don't even exist anyway really that's what Quanto physics is telling you it's not there's a thing there's these agitation waves and there's so many of them they average together and so when you come back up here where
we look at them they seem to be a particle they're not they're just behaving as though they were and now that it did that and then it made all in front of you so what do you do you honor it you respect it you love it you appreciate it and you serve it that's the highest thing you can do right you what do you mean how can I interact most honestly compassionately beautifully devotionally with this moment in front of me with every single moment you won't be able to do it but that's what you work
on okay so I'm serving it I'm doing the best I can the best you can is good enough I've taught you this before I don't care when anybody else tells you if you're doing the best that you can it's not only good enough it's perfect because it's the best that you can the best that you can do is a holy thing if you look back later and see you could do better that's because you learned don't you dare look back and judge yourself this is the whole Psych is so stupid what we do with it
so if you honor respect the moment as God's given moment to you and you serve it with all your heart and soul to do the best that I can and then the next step for no reason other than serving you renounce the fruits of Your Action that's the essence of B that's the essence of the all the Deep teachings the entire G could be written in one sense renounce the fruits of Your Action because ego can't do that ego always has a motive guess what the motive is me isn't it right the motive is me
I'm not okay and I'm doing this to be okay so the motive is me if you do your best with all your heart and soul for the moments unfolding in front of you and then that's complete there's no other reason there's no expecting anything back there's no goals there's no motive there's no intention no intention in the end there's no intention there's no doing they're just serving the moment in front of you because it's of God they came from God and you're put in front of it and that's the end of it all right it's
like for God's sakes if God all right God shows up like a burning bush type thing okay talking Bush and starts talking to him says Moses I want you to go down tell the Pharaoh let the people go ready there's Moses why should I do that what do I get out of that you don't talk to God like that what's the matter with you what's my reward no no doing your will is all anything how could I ask for anything else but to know what God wants me to do and put my whole heart and
soul into it I don't come back and say okay what do I get do I all right that's called renouncing the fruits of your AC ction you hear me you've heard that before you're renouncing fruits your action the fact that you even think of not renouncing fruit your action is what's left of your ego because when there's nothing left of your ego or at least you're not paying attention to it there's just this complete it's called the Dow it's what L Su is talking about there's a complete Harmony between you and the universe you're doing
your task let thine own task be done the Eden says that let thy own task be done they done imperfect ly than trying to do somebody else's task even done perfectly that's so deep it's just saying do the best you can with what's put in front of you and don't worry about anything else don't think about it just do that then do it again then do it again then do it again and don't wonder why or try to make it make sense that's just mine anything the ego is doing it will use mine well well
I wasted my time no you didn't waste your time you served God you put your heart and soul into reality how that otherwise you put your heart and soul into your mind right into iy mind that's what you're doing there has to be a reason that I'm doing what I'm doing why else would I do it it's in front of you I swear I know it's very hard to imagine and to do until you learn you're doing it because it's in front of you there's no other reason and there's no attempt to get anything from
it but what do you mean do it people play golf they try to get this little ball about like this this little white ball into a hole with less Strokes okay well pick it up and put it in a damn hole I don't understand you can have a hole in one every single time no that's no fun what do you mean it's no fun it's fun to be challenged to do the best that you can and they go back on the course over and over again or football or basketball they practice why digging down in
there and pulling out the best that you can and expressing it's really beautiful it what's going on y the Olympics a bunch of people practicing for years to do the best that they can best they can and I'm not saying they're not don't have a sense of reward right what gold medal or something right but a yogi doesn't a yogi does that why would you not why would you do anything except to do the best that you can to dig in there and bring out the deepest part of your being and express it in front
of you and know sense of reward here a musician a real musician a true musician a true artist take a musician they don't need to be listen to the music they don't need to sell it on the web or do anything they feel it inside Beethoven felt it inside and they have to express it and that's whole within itself Bean was an amazing being crazy is a nut and a big problem but you know that he was going deaf toward the end of his life This brilliant composer with music he went deaf and he cut
the legs off his piano so it would sit on the wood floor so that he could feel the vibrations of the notes that's how much he wanted to feel outside what was going on inside of him and he had a nephew I want get into be but had a nephew and beo wanted to play the piano of course you're my nephew you live with me all right and the kid would be learning the piano and B would be yelling at him he said what are you doing he said I'm trying to do it right he
I don't want you to do it right I want you to do it from your whole heart I don't care if it's wrong I don't care if you make a mistake I want it to have that fullness of your being put into it that's a musician so that's how you live your life every minute of it every second of it you want the highest path that's the highest path if you honor that moment as God given and it is I'm not I'm not I'm not being some preacher God gave you the moment no science agrees
with me all right it's it's a miracle is that a miracle that moment exists okay I want you think about I keep talking to you about it right it's phenomenal that it even exists and so you serve it you serve it with awe you serve it with appreciation you serve with love but the main thing is you give your whole being not why would I bother doing that I don't care if you're washing the dishes I don't care if you're taking out the garbage running a company I don't care they're all the same they moments
put in front of you and you put your whole heart and soul into him for no reason other than service they're the servant of God so Rach Krishna said a fully enlightened being and they asked him it was way out there oh one of the great great ones and somebody once asked him well what what is left of your ego what is left of your personal self because you s s all the time he said the only thing left of him he called it him see he was out there was watching him all right he
said the only thing that's left of him is a servant of God that's all there's nothing else just a servant of God all right and so here we have science backing us up I don't believe in God I don't care do you believe that the scientists see what they see when they look down there the whole you super colliders are sitting there hitting protons against protons and then they're breaking apart and they're seeing oh they're really quirks and leptons and all the right they are you can have your intellectual mind and was do it say
God serve the Miracle of Life as opposed to serving yourself you see a difference otherwi I'm telling you if you look you'll be embarrassed you serve yourself all the time what do I want what do I not want how do I get it and they teach you this stuff how to attract to yourself what you want but I want you to understand the highest at one point in your life are you listening to me not my will but thy will be done that's Christ and so how do you do that you serve the moment in
front of you as a manifestation of your relationship to God but you serve it with your entire heart and soul you just and you will not be perfect the G again says that it says there is no such thing as a perfect ACT on this plane just as fire will always have smoke so your actions will always have some imperfection fine that doesn't mean you do the best you can you just do the best you can you don't judge and then like I said the other side of that is just watch that if you do
the best you can you're equal want something what's a reward watch I'm G do the best I can serving God did you notice you notice how high I'm getting I keep track of how many moments I did serving and how many I didn't it's just all ego it's all rebuilding the eye but by serving other than yourself serve the moment in front of you to the best of your ability with your whole heart and soul and renounce the fruits of Your Action and wait to see what happens because it's going to blow you away that's
like Master one of your's favorite quote from the Bible I think it was a by line of autobiography seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all things should be added unto you that's not like seek all things to be add unto you that's cheating it's first do this put your whole life beginning and end people say God family country right you're going said God God God period that's what all the great ones said is everything else dropped into ego my family my country let's go fight about it let's go you hear
me it's just you devote yourself if you learn to do that just catch yourself during the day am I devoting myself to the moments in front of me and you're going to find out there's not chance in the world you are you're devoting yourself to what you want to what your ego wants what make you feel better trying to achieve things your goals you understand that so you serve it to the best of your ability you anounce the fruits of your actions and you just honor the next moment the next moment and you're going to
find out that you came in harmony with a force that's beyond your comprehension and it's not you and like I said you don't need a reward but what will happen is because you let go of you and you stop staring at you that's all so funny you're staring at what's not that high you when you stop staring at you by definition what's left is what's higher because you're not focusing it down here and that's when the Shakti flow starts you start feeling all this beautiful love and energy one Great Master once said oh what has
become of me wave upon wave of endless Joy saturates me day and night what hast thou done to me that's what will happen to you and now what do you do now you can serve even better you don't change for Iota the teachings teach you so deeply yoganand when you short touched on the first time and you're going went into s merge of the universe his whole body was the whole universe he the speed of light he was spreading in all directions the whole every every planet every Star was his body and then he came
back and what did his Guru do he took a broom and shoved in his hand didn't ask him about the experience didn't let him talk about it took a broom shove in his hands and go sweep the floor are you hearing me it's the highest path serve the moment that's in front of you and renounce the fruits of Your Action you won't be able to do it very well do you understand that good when you first picked up a tennis rack you didn't do so good either when you first tried the piano he couldn't do
very good either could you start learning how to live that spiritual life that's the highest spiritual life yes meditation will happen in fact someone could experience that you sit down to watch a movie or a football game and you get pulled up you can't even stop it you have to meditate it happens spontaneously naturally you can't can't stay out of those States Rak Krishna Rak Krishna they used have to walk behind them all the time every day one of the disciples you're in charge of cleaning the asham you're in charge of getting the services together
you're in charge of walking behind the master why because at any time he hear the name of God he'd see somebody standing like chrishna across his legs he'd see something every hair in his body would stand on end the arm would go up like this the eyes would roll up and fall over backwards in ecstasy and stay there for hours or days it's pretty high stuff in there you hear me but don't worry that won't happen to you you can still take care of the kids you don't have to say oh my God Mickey scared
me I don't want to go there all right so we just had a very nice talk but look what we ended of serve the moment in front of you with all your heart and soul and watch how it's difficult to do because you want something for that moment or at least you want something for moment that's not happening or you don't want a moment that happened before to have happened there's too much mind it's all the ego right if you fit and focus and Des serve your moment and renounce the fruits your action what do
you do when when it catch the ego saying did you notice what I did don't fight it do not fight ego ego is I me mine if you get in you're causing more thrashing you just look at it smile oh you too you get to a certain point you know which Sher you go oh you're so cute your days are numbered not fighting is honor and respect and let go all right work on these things [Music] [Music] dtive you've been listening to the Michael Singer podcast produced by sounds true in partnership with Shanti Publications for
