64. Self Purification

You cannot describe contentment, or that which you call happiness. When a mute man eats sugar, he cannot describe its sweetness. Listen with extreme eagerness. It cannot be understood, and cannot be known, even if it is explained. It cannot be imagined. Words cannot communicate it. The Supreme Self, Paramatman, is absolutely hidden. It can be understood only through being near Saints, by being in their company. That happiness of Paramatman, that contentment, is very deep. If the experience is to be told about by any sign or indication, it is unutterable. It cannot be described. Hand or facial symbolic signs are only the qualities of those limbs, and they are therefore limited, and inadequate. Even the deepest power of speech, which is called the "Para" speech, or the original energy, cannot show it by any indication, as it is indescribable. It cannot be known without the help of the Sadguru. Only one who searches oneself can receive the blessings of the Sadguru.

What is the experience of the one who receives the blessing of the Sadguru? That one experiences that he himself is Paramatman. That is the result of one's Self-search. When you understand that you are nothing, then what remains is only one Brahman. This is called the "Natural State of Samadhi" or Sahaja Samadhi. If he walks and talks, it is called "Sairat Samadhi," this is a state of seemingly insane activities, but a resting in inner contentment. He is completely happy without doubt. People think that he behaves abnormally, but he is not aware that he is behaving at all. The contention of some is that Paramatman is witness to all, but those who know the Reality, the Siddhas, say that "witnessing all," is but a state of mind, and the Reality is devoid of any such state or hypothetical position. Paramatman is beyond all the four bodies and beyond the four sheaths of consciousness (mind, intellect, thinking, and "I" or ego). When you realize that what you perceive is not an objective thing or any material, but that all is Brahman, the complex of "I," the ego, will vanish. When the notion of "I" is dropped, then the idea of "you" also drops away. The disappearance of "I" is the sign of realization. "That" which is, is. It is neither the individual (Jiva), nor God (Shiva). That duality does not appear there. We also cannot say that there is nothing. "That" is the indescribable Bliss. The speech, the word, is all illusory. The word conveys the meaning but it disappears as soon as the meaning is understood. The word ends. After giving the message, the word goes away. In Brahman, the word is false. Only its meaning should be taken. The word is different from what is seen, and what is beyond it, is Brahman, the Reality. "Pure Experience" is incapable of being pointed at. Self-experience is without the factor of giving any attention to it. To give attention to it is a quality.
