This Is the Mind-Made Realm February 16, 1983 AVATAR ADI DA SAMRAJ: All I communicate to you is Blessing, Infinite Blessing for infinite years, infinite lifetimes. You, as poor as you are, as unprepared as you are, will experience Infinite Grace for infinite time just because you have entered into the Company of a Siddha. Why should this be Given to someone without preparation? No one can account for it, no one. It has not occurred because you are so great. Your qualities do not make any difference. It is simply that some must be chosen for the sake of others. Have no regrets about my involvement with you. Do not think you are punishing me. I will come and go. I have never been troubled by life in itself. It has always been a ridiculous kind of fleshy jiggling. There is nothing serious about life. It is merely an hallucination. It has always been obvious to me that life is just that. I have met everybody in their flesh, their minds, and their emotions. All My life I have done just this, seeming to take it seriously, but I have never taken it seriously. There is nothing but the Great One. All this is an hallucination. I Play with you, I Instruct you, because you hallucinate and take it seriously, but I have never taken it seriously. All your concerns are merely about your un-Happiness, looking for Happiness outside yourselves. Happiness is right there where you stand, underfoot, at the Heart! It is right there where you are right now. Right there. It is Infinitely Full, and it is the Substance out of which all these appearances are made. All this is nothing but Love-Bliss-Fullness modified. Find this Bliss, locate this Well, imbibe it, become drunk with It, become Happy with It, become Free in that Infinite Place of Being. My Word to you is not based on hearsay or reading of the traditions. And none of this appearance is consequential to Enlightenment. There is no Happiness in your flesh, in your self-possession, in your otherness, in your attachment to others. There is no Happiness in it whatsoever. You must find the Great Oasis, the Infinite Well of Happiness, and Be Happy. Everything else you manufacture in your ordinariness is not That. It is merely part of the stress of being. It is part of the egoity of the crunch of un-Life. There is an Infinite Well of Being, of Happiness, of Consciousness Itself. That cool, free Water is unblemished, undosed with the chemicals of egoity, not stressed, not transformed, not modified, not limited in any sense. Here, you are struggling with one another, trying to figure yourselves out and mating with one another, exchanging communications and contracts. What an infinite mass of insanity! That is not it. It is not it at all. All this clinging to your relations is not it. Not it, not it at alI magine, if these relations were taken away, taken away completely, where would you stand? Where would you be? All the sorrows in your heart now, all the potential sorrows of the parting of beings, your death and the death of others, the separation from other beings, all this is deluding nonsense! This is mind only! This is mind! Mind only!! This is mind only. This! This is the bardo, the transition place. This! This is a transition place. This is the mind-made realm! This is the yellow world. It is solid now, but a few years or days or hours from now, it will no longer be solid, just fluid. You will be screaming out at your visions after death. Do you want to do that? You need not do it. You could be completely free of this, now, just as you can be free of that after death. If you are not free of this now, you will not be free of that at death. You cling foolishly to one another, because you are self-bound and do not understand what is happening. You do not understand it, and you will not believe what you do understand. You will not be motivated, moved by what you understand. You want to live your ordinary TV life. It makes no difference what I do or show or say to you, you will carry on with your life. If you would hear Me, if you would see Me, if you would understand, if you would practice, you would be totally free of what? Totally free of one another! And you! All these ones. You would be completely, absolutely, and perfectly free of all relations. Because there are no relations. There are no relations! None! Not one! You people do not believe what I am saying. You people all want to think something, you want to feel something! You want to be something, you want to do something! This is what you are all about—mechanically thinking something, feeling something, being something, and doing something. That is what you are, and, therefore, that is what moves you. In Truth, however, there is nothing to think, nothing to feel, nothing to be, and nothing to do. This is just an incredible, degraded hallucination. It is one thing to tell you this, and another thing to show it to you and help you to realize it. That is all I have ever done. I have no bad intentions. I am not here to exploit you. I am not here to lay some philosophy on you. However, you want to think, you want to feel, you want to be, you want to do, and therefore you become complicated, you begin thinking, and emoting, suffering physically, and creating relationships. Then you are suddenly full of complications and questions. That is not it. That is just the mind. That is all it is, really. This is an hallucination. This is a bardo, a transitional place--in other words, a transformation of mind. That is its status. That is what it really is. You cannot merely listen to My Argument and believe it. It is not trying to overwhelm you, it is not a doctrine. I can only Confess to you My State. Either you recognize Me or you do not. February 16, 1983 [originally published in God is not a Gentleman, and I Am That One.]
