GOD ALONE IS

There is no Doer

Only when we are able to forget ourselves totally, then only the reality can appear. That is called Enlightenment. Disappearing of the false and able to realize and recognize the real one is Enlightenment. So only by forgetting ourself one can realize the Truth. No other way.

The best way to forget ourself is devotion. Because we are bringing God in all aspects of our life. And our brain will be occupied only with thoughts of God and the Master. Both God and the Master are one and the same. God is coming in the form of the Master. God can produce a Master. Master can produce Gods! If the Master is able to realize the Godliness in you, Master is creating God. So, God can create Master and Master can create God. Both are one and the same. If our whole brain is occupied with the thoughts of the Master or God…

Whatever is happening, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, whatever it maybe; you are not the doer and you are not the beneficiary either. So, the doership should go. Unnecessarily we are claiming that we are the doer. And as we claim doership, we face all the consequences, because of the acceptance of doership. Actually we are not the doer. Because there is no ‘we’. So, understanding that we are not the doer is the first stage in realization. Only when you are able to understand that you are not the doer, only then will you not be trapped by the Karmic consequences. Body, thoughts, none of these are created by ourself. As these are not created by us, how can we claim that we are the doer? Everything is happening. Yes. We are able to see that the body is doing something. We are able to see that the mind is thinking something. Yes, it is happening but we are not the doer. Even if you don’t claim this doership, everything will still happen. Then what is the necessity to claim that we are the doer? So, no benefit in claiming doership. Only suffering. So, we have to try to understand that we are not the doer. Things are happening.

HOW CAN YOU MAKE THIS SHIFT?
Hereafter we should not imagine or consider that we are the doer. OK. But things are happening right? The body is doing something. At that time due to the old habit, due to attachment, identification, ignorance, unawareness, immediately we think that we are the doer. Even though we have taken a decision that we will not consider ourself as a person, we are not the doer, but due to the various activities, actions happening daily, unknowingly due to unawareness we start thinking we are the doer. Once we think we are the doer, we take responsibility for all the consequences. Our daily activities do not allow us to drop doership. So how to tackle this? Only by devotion. Only by devotion. God is the doer. God is doing everything. If you bring this into our brain, now activities will go on and we are fixing someone as the responsible person for them. Now we are not responsible. This is the way. This is how we can come out of this. We should do this honestly and strongly. Everything is because of God. God is creating everything. If you bring this consciouness regularly, permanently, one day you will lose your identity. Losing your identity is the prime criteria in attaining Enlightenment. Any objections? Any doubts? Crystal clear. Only practice is needed. Bring that consciousness in you that everything is happening by God. God is the doer. He is creating everything. By bringing the consciousness about God we can forget the consciousness of personhood.

Otherwise, it will be very difficult. Daily activities are happening. The eyes are seeing. Already you are having the strong habit of doership. Now we have to break it. The axe to break this is devotion. Do it sincerely, confidently, with courage. In the beginning your mind will have so many questions, blocks, doubts to prevent you from thinking like this. But daily you have to counsel your mind. No, I am not the doer. Things are happening. Nothing is in my hand. As per the instructions of the Master, we have to think that everything is happening by God. God is the doer. If your whole brain is occupied with this thought and you are conscious of this all the time, then almost the job is over.
