leave everything alone

lllllllllll Leave Everything Alone lllllllllll

=============================

Whenever your thoughts dwell on the past, do not become angry with yourself. 

Leave them alone. 

Do not observe them. 

Do not watch them. 

Do not be the witness to them. 

Just leave them alone. 

They will disappear of their own volition, 

due to the fact that they never existed. 

This is an important point. 

This is the reason why you leave everything alone. 

Now if things existed, if there were such a thing as negative thinking, karma to get rid of, then you'd have a job on your hands. You'd have to do all sorts of things to remove your karma, your past sins. You'd be working continuously. 

Practicing all kinds of japa, mantras, everything, to remove all of these thoughts of the past. But I say to you, since these 

things never existed to begin with, 

why do any work at all? 

Oh, it's OK if you like to work, but I'm very lazy myself, and the less work I have to do, the better. 

I know it's difficult for some of you to think that you have to do absolutely nothing 

to become free because you're already free. For you've been brought up that you have to work, work, work to get ahead. 

Why do you want to get ahead? 

Ahead to what? 

To whom? 

Everything must change sooner or later. Everything must dissolve and return to the elements from whence they came. And new forms are always being born, so to speak. So what 

kind of goals are you trying to achieve? Your goals will vanish when everything else vanishes, sooner or later.

Think how many civilizations we've had on this planet. Many civilizations, and they've also passed us where we are today. 

But where are they now? They're gone. Dissolved into the nothingness from whence they came.

So it is folly to try to improve yourself, or to try to achieve anything. It is folly to try to change something or to become

something. 

Just Be. You may ask, how do I just Be? 

By asking, you're not being. 

To just Be is to just Be. 

Not to be this or to be that. 

Or to try to discover how to just Be. 

Just Be, without trying to understand what that means. 

Without analyzing. 

Without pondering.

Just Be. Just Be. Just Be. Just Be.
