“When you remain in the silence and you do not talk much then the appearance of this world begins to dissolve. The appearance of the body begins to dissolve. You begin to feel differently. You begin to see things differently. You are no longer surviving, trying to make ends meet, trying to improve your condition. You begin to understand there is no condition to improve. You are beyond conditioning. Good or bad. Sickness or health. Lack or limitation or riches. It’s all the same. It’s neither good nor bad. It’s an appearance. And whatever you’re experiencing, you have to experience the other.

It’s like a pendulum swinging back and forth. The pendulum goes to one side then has to go back to the other side. And so it is with human life. So-called human life is the same thing. We experience one side of it then we experience the other side of it sooner or later. But no human being, so-to-speak, ever experiences oneness—it’s impossible. For the whole universe is duality. So, many people when they first get involved with Advaita Vedanta or Jnana believe that it’s a very selfish teaching, believe that it’s a very conceited teaching.

Why? For the idea is to become self-realized. Jnani’s are always expressing themselves, ‘I am Brahman. I am pure awareness, I am the absolute reality,’ and people who do not understand this say, ‘why don’t you think about this world? Why don’t you help the poor? Why don’t you help alleviate man’s inhumanity to man?’ … They say this because they do not understand what we’re talking about.

When a being becomes so-called self-realized the self-realization is not for him or her alone. The self-realization is a universal feeling. I am the universe is a realization. I am the Brahman, the all-pervading one, this is a realization. The realization is not about yourself. This is something we always have to remember. It is not selfishness. This teaching is not conceit. For when you become self-realized there is no longer a you. What you have called a you has disappeared. What you call you has become the whole universe.

Therefore just by being self-realized you are helping the world without thinking about it. Again why? Because you have become the world, you see? You’re no longer Jack or Jane or Mary or Bob or anybody else. A person who touches their self-realization becomes the entire universe. And therefore you see only the goodness. You do not separate goodness from badness, there is no longer any badness in your psyche, in your consciousness you have transcended [so-called] badness.

Everything is good, even the so-called evil, the things we call evil on this earthly plane. You begin to understand that everything that happens to you is for your own good, for your own benefit. Nothing is here to ever hurt you, as strange as it may seem. Everything is here for your [spiritual] advancement, everything. Every situation, every predicament is there for your advancement. Consequently this teaching is the most unselfish teaching there is. For when a Jnani says, ‘I am Brahman,’ he’s not referring to his humanhood.”
