“All these techniques, again and again, turn your awareness into the…”

All these techniques, again and again, turn your awareness into the seer. You are constantly now attracted by the scene. So much of colorful dance, so much is going on in the outer world. You don’t have awareness or attention to turn towards the seer. All these techniques, Shiva is trying to turn yourself towards the seer, to give you the glimpse of the seer. The moment you suspect the scene, the moment you suspect the scene is not as you think, the scene is not as you understand, immediately your awareness turn to … turns towards the seer. The moment you turn towards the seer, you are awakened. What happens in the dream state … same thing. When … whenever you come out of the dream state, be little aware what is happening in that space. First thing, either you will have too much of greed or fear. If you have greed or fear beyond limit, both will awaken you out of dream. Sometimes, nightmare. Sometimes, too beautiful dream. Nightmare and too beautiful dream, both will bring you out of dream, both will kick you out of dream space. First thing, you will start suspecting whether it is dream or reality. Next moment the whole attention will turn towards your inner space. Then you will be awakened. Same thing will happen in this space also if you want to get awakened. First thing you need to see, you need … you need to understand. By understanding you will naturally have the doubt whether what I am seeing is truth or unreality. It is the truth or false. You will start suspecting what you are seeing. The moment seriously you start suspecting what you are seeing, your whole awareness and attention will turn towards the seer. Seer willl be automatically awakened. As long as you are engaged with the second person and third person, the first person will never be awakened. Your interest towards the second person and third person is lost, immediately, your attention will turn towards the first person, you will be awakened to the truth. You will wake up from this big dream. I was telling you the … about the beautiful question. Somebody went and asked Ramana Maharishi also the same question: ‘Everything is dream. Seeing you in this dream, how is it going to help me?’ Ramana Maharishi says, ‘When you see a lion in your dream, what happens? You wake up! That fear! Or, even if you see a beautiful actress, you will wake up. The greed!’ See, whenever you try to elongate that shaft, whenever you try your best to elongage that shaft … sometime beautiful dream ... you try to hold on to that dream and suddenly you realize it is dream. Sometime frightening dream. You just wanted to escape from that dream. So much of fear, and you realize it is just a dream. Both the way, whether you want … if you want to hold, or you want to escape, both the way you will come out and understand it is just a dream. Whether it is greed or fear, both will awaken you. Whenever you see a Master, Master is like a simha swapna. It is like a … seeing a lion in the dream. When you see the lion in the dream, naturally, out of that shock you will be awakened. You will be out … you will be out of the dream. Same way, when you see the Master in this state, he will be like a simha swapna, he will awaken you. I always tell people, Master is not a dream to fulfill your wishes. He is a dream to awaken you. He is a dream to awaken you. Same way, greed also can awaken you. Master and actress both can do the same job. Both can do the same job. That is why I always tell people, whenever I can’t train people, I just get them married. I tell them, please get married. That’s all. They are trained. No, sometimes, if Master takes ten years, she takes hardly one or two years! Now with the … in our ashram, that is what I tell our brahmacharis: either learn from me or you learn from your wife. But learning from me will be with lot of love and courtesy. That is the only difference. Greed and fear, both can teach you. Yoga choose the path of fear. It just controls you, controls you, controls you, controls you and corners you. At some point you are awakened. You understand you are dreaming. Tantra choose the path of greed. It gives you, gives you, gives you, gives you. Suddenly you understand you are dreaming. Both the way, whether you are with greed or with fear, the theme or the idea is to put your attention on your being, to turn your awareness on your being. Whether it is the fear or greed, we need the only one thing - to awaken you.
