There is absolutely nothing on this earth that has anything to do with your spiritual life. All of your dreams, your earthly dreams, your desires, your needs and your wants are all nonsense. They seem important, but they're total nonsense. You're not going anywhere when you attach yourself to worldly things. You're just spinning around, getting nowhere.
It's difficult for most people to understand, that you can sit in a chair, and something will happen within you which will take care of all your needs, your wants. And everything that's going on in your life, will be taken care of in the right way. You think you have to be the doer. You think, you believe, you have to run around and make things happen. Nothing can be further from the truth than this. There is a power and a presence that will take care of everything for you.
Your job is to relax, to take it easy, to be peaceful. To observe, to watch, to look, never to react. As you begin to go deeper within yourself, whatever you need to know will be revealed to you. Whatever you have to do will be done. Yet what you really are has absolutely nothing to do with these things. Your true nature, Brahman, absolute intelligence, pure wisdom, sat-chit-ananda, is always available. It is always there. You are that.
To see your true Self, and to feel your true Self, and to be your true Self, you simply have to negate everything else in this world. By negate everything in this world, I mean you have to look at a situation and never react to it, and realize this is not you. Good things, bad things, whatever you call good and bad, they're all the same. They are not you. You are not that. You are absolute freedom.
