“Understand, if you actually know what is not you, the moment you know…”

Understand, if you actually know what is not you, the moment you know what is not you, you are liberated. Even if you live with your body and mind after knowing you are not the body and mind, you will not be a slave. Please understand, the word slave can be used only as long as anything goes against your will. So even if you live with the body and mind, you are not a slave. Small Story: A Greek sage, Diogenes, was a great enlightened Master. One day a group of warriors wanted to arrest him and sell him in the slave market. He was so graceful, and they thought if we can capture him and sell him in the slave market, we will get a lot of money. They prepared, some five or six guys with all their weapons and preparation, they approached him to attack him. Naturally they expected him to resist, since that is usual. But they were shocked because he did not resist. He just kept quiet and said, ‘What do you want?’ He asked like a Master. They felt a little shy. One guy said, ‘Actually, we want to capture you and sell you in the slave market.’ Diogenes said, ‘And for that you could have told me straightaway. Why did you need to stand there for half an hour and make all those plans, talking , doing all those things? Come, put the handcuffs. Take them out from your bag and put them on me.’ They are shocked, taken aback. For the first time, they are seeing a man who is ordering them to put the handcuffs on him. He is speaking like a Master. ‘Put the handcuffs on me. Why are you waiting? You could have told me directly and I would have come with you. So why are you waiting?’ So finally they took out the handcuff and put one end on his hand. And the other end of the handcuff one of them attached to his own hand. He said, ‘Fool, don’t you believe me? I myself am telling you to put the handcuff on me. Why are you tying it to your hand? Come, let’s go to where you want to sell me. But be very clear, don’t run away from me. Don’t run away from me.’ Now, these guys are a little frightened. They don’t understand what is going on. They aren’t able to understand what is happening. And slowly they started feeling small. Diogenese says, ‘Fools, I know the knack or the technique of freedom. I’ve already experienced tremendous inner freedom so I know that nothing can bind me. Try your best to play your game. Let us see where it leads.’ Then he walks on the road like a king. And these guys taking him are walking like slaves. People are standing in the road. When they see him, he says to them, “They’re all my slaves. They can’t leave me.’ One of the guys says, ‘Hey, you only are a slave. We are not slaves.’ Diogenes says, ‘Don’t say that I am your slave. If you leave, I will run away. But now if I am leaving you, will you run away? If you take off this handcuff, I will run. But will you run away? No, you will not. Because you need something from me. Because of that you are a slave. I don’t need anything from you. Because of that, I am not your slave. You may or may not have the handcuffs, but slavery is related to being, it is not related to the body.’ Then they take him to the market and straightaway approach the table where the slaves are supposed to stand and the auction will start. Diogenes comes and stands. One guy shouts, ‘Here is a slave. If you want to bid, please come out, we are starting the auction. If you have enough money to bid for him, you are welcome to start the bidding.’ Suddenly Diogenes says, “Stop, don’t say, ‘Here is a slave.’ Say instead, ‘Here is a Master. If you can afford to bid for him, come. If you have enough money to bid for him, come. You can take him.’” Of course, nobody dared to come and take him and naturally after three days, these guys thought, ‘Why are we unnecessarily feeding and taking care of him? Nobody is going to take him. Let us set him free. So automatically they got frightened and thought, ‘If we sit here continuously with him, at some point he may sell us. He may convince us that we are the slaves and then sell us. We don’t know what this guy will do. We don’t know about him.’ So they left him and ran away. Of course, it’s a story, but there is truth behind the story. The idea behind the story has to be understood. Once you understand that you are not the body and mind, nothing can enslave you. You can never become a slave. Even slavery can not enslave you. Slavery can enslave you as long as you are not ready to cooperate with slavery. Please understand, it’s a very subtle point. If you are beyond body and mind, if somebody tries to enslave you, you will not resist. When you don’t resist, you will never be a slave. Anything which goes against your will, only that can enslave you. Here you are in a totally different space, in a totally different consciousness. Nothing can go against your will and you can never have a will which can make you feel like a slave. You’ll be just flowing with the river, flowing with the current. You will disappear into the Divine. So nothing like slavery can happen to you. Your very consciousness will be beyond slavery. Your very being will be beyond slavery and nothing can enslave you. That is the reason that here, Krishna teaches you the secret of understanding the body-mind and consciousness. Sanskrit term ______prajna.?? In those days only, all this physical slavery existed. Now, we have psychological slavery. Understand, in many ways we are living in psychological slavery. We are psychological slaves of many things. When something is advertised, straightaway it goes and sits in your head. Within a few days you do something to get money and spend it for that thing. We live in a world in which we are psychological slaves. Once you understand the body and mind, you will go beyond both the physical and psychological slaveries. You will be totally experiencing the consciousness of freedom. Chants the verse from Gita at time10:23 in clip. I’m not able to understand it well enough to type. In these five slokas, beautifully Krishna gives the technique. See, until this sloka, He is giving the intellectual idea. Now He gives the technique to realize, now He is giving the technology to experience what He says. I call these five slokas the Inner Science Technology to liberate your inner space. To liberate your inner space He gives the Inner Science Technology. The exact, precise technique to liberate yourself from the chetra ??How to liberate the consciousness from the body-mind. How to bring the body-mind under your control. See, the first thing, the moment you understand that you are much more powerful than your body-mind, you are liberated from body-mind. Here, He beautifully gives the technique of how to liberate yourself from the body-mind, how to experience that consciousness. NOTE: Someone will need to insert the slokas from Gita that I was not able to understand, highlighted above.
