AWARENESS
Be Aware.
We were drinking Tea under the almond tree. There was a sense of quiet all around. Sri Mahaprabu said “I am simply transferring the Tea from one container to another.” (referring to the body)
SC: Then who is enjoying the taste?
Mahaprabu (instantly): Tongue, taste buds, sensory nerves, brain and the Record (GR: Thinking Wow!) Definitely Atma is not tasting!. Because if it does then both of us would have the same taste experience. The record makes the difference. Atma is the witness, undisturbed by the taste. Something else is disturbed (or enjoying) by the taste. You, ego says it is better / bitter. That’s why even while drinking also, give full attention. You will find that the enjoyment of tea or bitterness are both there and the ensuing Joy or disappearance of it are all there. You don’t need to identify with either. They are all for the body. That separation is needed.

Boss and the Servant – 2
Please read the post titled Boss and the Servant, first. For 2 hours Sri Mahaprabu was in Samadhi.

And why the Suffering that we feel is purely imaginary. He proves this beyond doubt. Read on!...
Boss and the Servant
Mahaprabu shares in detail how he meditated. How he keenly observed what was going on inside him. Like us he assumed there was a Person who was the Boss.

Turiyam
Sri Mahaprabu has been in Samadhi for nearly 3 hours now. Is it night or dawn, don't know. Time has zero relevance when we are with him. Slowly he emerges. He then spoke at length about Turiya, (pronounced in Tamil as Turiyam). That which alone is and That which manifests as Waking, Dream, Sleep and all the plurality that appears to the senses. A very rewarding experience just listening to him. Not to mention a video-treat at the very end!...
