What Is Thoughtless Awareness?

"This is an actualization, which you can see with your eyes as I told you. But what happens to your awareness is the point. As I have already told you that Realization means your human awareness gets transformed into a new awareness.

Now what is that new awareness we are waiting for? What is the new awareness we have to have? The new awareness, you jump into is collectively enlightened awareness or we can say collective consciousness. This awareness is not a lecture or a branding or any kind of a superficial idea but is what happens actually to your awareness. As you can see this light as you can see these flowers, clearly, factually like that. You start feeling others within yourself. That means you become conscious of others, of their chakras, and centers and you become conscious of your chakras also."

" a thought rises within us and then it falls, and another thought rises and falls. We live either in the past or in the future; on the cusp of these thoughts we are dancing all the time. So when the Kundalini rises these thoughts become lean, and there’s a space in between which is the present, which in Sanskrit is called as “vilamba.” So when the Kundalini rises you become thoughtless. If you want to think you can think it, but if you don’t want to think you are in thoughtless awareness. That’s the samadhi state, that’s the state of what you call is the meditative state, where first is called as “thoughtless awareness.” In Sanskrit it’s called as “nirvichara samadhi.”

"Once you get your self realisation you get into meditation. You don’t have to do it. You get into the meditative mood. So you just have to practice how to get into the meditative mood of thoughtless awareness. You are aware, but you are thoughtless. You can imagine, if this earth was always bombarded as the thoughts bombard us, how could this tree grow? So you have to achieve a state of thoughtless awareness which is very easy for you, but you have to give some time. In the morning time about five minutes or in the evening about fifteen minutes. Also we have collective programmes which you must attend."
