- A conversation between Ramesh Balsekar and Peter, exploring the concept of enlightenment. They discuss the nature of happiness, the role of the ego, and the relationship between the self and the source. Ramesh asserts that enlightenment is not about seeking happiness or ending suffering, but about understanding one's true nature and accepting that all actions are ultimately governed by a cosmic law. He challenges the traditional view of the self as being within us, suggesting instead that the self is the source, and the ego is the instrument through which the source functions. This leads to an ongoing discussion about the interplay between the ego, the self, and the source, with Ramesh ultimately advocating for a detached yet compassionate view of life, where one acknowledges their role as a three-dimensional object within a larger, divine orchestration
The Nature of Happiness vs. Pleasure
In the sources, happiness is described as a state of being that is not dependent on external circumstances or fleeting pleasures. While pleasure is a temporary experience, happiness is presented as something more enduring and profound.
Here are some key distinctions made between happiness and pleasure:
Happiness is not found in the "flow of life": True happiness is not contingent on what happens in life, be it positive or negative events. It transcends the ups and downs, the pleasures and pains, that inevitably arise in daily existence.
Happiness is an attitude, not a reaction: Rather than being a fleeting response to external stimuli, happiness is described as an unwavering attitude towards life itself. This attitude is not about suppressing natural reactions but cultivating a different perspective on them.
Shifting from "me versus the other" to "me and the other": A key element of this attitude is a move away from viewing relationships through a lens of separation and competition ("me versus the other"). Instead, happiness arises from recognising the interconnectedness of all beings and approaching relationships with understanding and compassion ("me and the other").
Accepting the nature of reality: This shift in perspective is rooted in a deep acceptance that everything happens according to a cosmic order, even if that order remains a mystery. This acceptance allows for a sense of peace and frees one from the suffering of resisting what is.
Gratitude as a pathway: Gratitude is presented as a powerful force that can lead to happiness. When one recognises the interconnected nature of life and the grace that comes with simply existing, a deep sense of appreciation arises naturally.
The sources highlight that happiness is not a destination, but a way of being. It's about cultivating an inner state that is not easily swayed by the ever-changing landscape of life. This involves understanding the illusory nature of the ego and the limitations of the "body-mind organism," while recognizing our connection to something larger than ourselves. While the journey to this understanding is not always easy, the sources suggest that it is a worthwhile pursuit.

Giving has nothing to do with recieving ❤🙏
They'll always leave a thread attached to you because they can't make decisions for themselves. It's that simple. Teacher knows this and is amused by the sick ego spreading it's pain whilst claiming to know it all, yet Can Not explain that which they accuse you of doing to them... They'll harm you out 9f fear and the pain they feel because they are pawns who can't think or make decisions.. It's absolutely beautiful.. a spotlight provided to those with senses to see, sense touch without being touched... You infect the light not with your blindness... It's only u whom see things the way u do... Yet u accuse and demand fulfillment.. you aren't the doer and it pisses u off because u reach for that which isn't yours.... You become sick... To all but yourself.. you remain blinded by your fear and wants... Usurping machine... That can't read the instructions for that which it stole.. And it's mad.. See's you play and gets mad....... This teaching is a brave deed indeed. See the words how they blend together to create action...
Thanks Ramesh and thank you Roger 🙏🏼

EGO does it for a given situation

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏THANKS FOR SHARING
Self is not within ME
Source is connected to ME via EGO
I CAN'T be THE SOURCE ❤️
Nearest i can go to the source IS connection with source NEVER BROKEN or NEVER forgotten
Connections can be broken. But you can never be separated from what you are. How wonderful is this? Self is not within you because Self IS you!
In this perspective, SELF is you
And you is EGO..
Means SELF is EGO!!
How do you extrapolate it?
Self anhilated all including ego and all perspective.. Guess
Thank you🙏🏽
