Part Three of extracts from Robert’s satsang transcript §85 – see previous posts …
..
“You have absolutely nothing to do with pondering anything, for the truth is already present, shining in all its glory and splendour, and you are That . . . Ponder this.”
..
“There is really nothing you have to do to get yourself Self-realised, only to get yourself out of the way . . . Ponder this.”
..
..
“Since there is no one to ponder, why are you pondering this? You are beyond pondering, beyond trying to change conditions, beyond trying to improve your humanhood, beyond trying to get along in the world. Since you are already the world, there is nothing else to do but to awaken to the truth . . . Ponder this.”
..
..
“To be your Self means not to be the body, or the mind, or the conditions in your life . . . Ponder this.”
..
“To be always happy, to be always contented, always at peace, and not to think at all, are the marks of a realised being . . . Ponder this.”
..
..
“What you see in this world is only your self. You can never see anything else. Wherever you look, you will see yourself. If you have troubles, you will see troubles everywhere. If you are at peace with yourself, you will see peace everywhere. You are the cause and creator of your particular world, and yet you have the power to change it, by turning within and not reacting to the things of this world whatsoever . . . Ponder this.”
..
..
“You are born into a certain situation, with certain parents, a certain religion, a certain environment. This is alright, and this is all good, and this is how it should be. Use the opportunity to awaken. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, and comparing yourself with others, use the opportunity to awaken, to become totally free, by negating all these things and understanding the truth about yourself . . . Ponder this.”

‘It is a rare privilege to be born as a human being, even though it is an illusory birth. But to be born as a human being is the only way you can find your Self. An animal, a tree, a mineral, cannot do this. You have been given the rare opportunity of birth, so that you may find Self realisation, and unfold into your true nature. Do not use your time for anything else. This is the purpose of being in this birth: to become absolutely free and liberated . . . Ponder this.”
