- I was thinking whether I should ask you something more.

How do we kind of get a control about our feelings, like you know...

Um, how do I make myself love everybody?

At the minute there are some people,

there are some human beings whom, I don't know...

I just can't stand... I don't know if it is the right word, but you know...

But, you know, I just don't want to be like that but...

It's just kind of... it's there in the mind, you know what I mean.

I suppose it's control over the mind, which I don't have.

- Don't try to love everybody.

Don't TRY to love everybody.

Maybe try to...at least you can try some...just try to be fair

But don't try to LOVE everyone.

- Well, love in the sense...

- No, I don't mean, you know, affectionately.

But you know, sometimes there will always be one or two.

- So it's perfectly normal then.

- Yeah, of course it's very normal.

- So I am real normal...

- Well, sometimes you have to...there's a love which is not

ah, it is so all-inclusive

and it is so free that they say Jesus loved everyone, no?

But when he went to the temple and saw these people, you know,

selling in there, in that moment, he was not on a love mission.

He was...aaaahhhhhh... you see.

Be yourself, this is the way... and stay in this place that you've been shown,

this effortlessness... and leave the rest.

The rest will somehow align itself appropriately.

Really what I am saying, I am telling you, it's so unburdening.

We're trying to cultivate good habits.

Ramana Maharshi said something very beautiful.

He says, all good habits manifest spontaneously

in the delivered mind,

meaning that when you see where you really are

automatically, things come right.

You don't have to TRY to be like this or try to be like this.

You see? Because I don't feel that...

if there's a YOU loving everyone, I don't think you'll be successful.

You'll do 99 (%)...

but your neighbor... grrrr! you want to...

You feel, 'No, no, I didn't do it... I fail' and so on... so don't do it.

- You're the first person to have said that.

- Yes, yes, it's alright...

It's alright to not like some people, you know.

It's alright to feel... even the feeling of hatred can happen.

It can happen,

but you've not tied yourself to it.

It's something that also arises.

If you see really gross injustice or cruelty,

how can you say, "I love you"?

How can you say that? You don't feel.

You want to yourself give a good chop!

Isn't it? - Absolutely.

- It's natural...yeah... yeah.

So in the meantime, leave that alone

Stay as that which is aware.

Just keep staying... Stay as Awareness always.

Don't go to 'what should I do, what should I undo?'

Stay as the Awareness.

Immediately in this space of just being Awareness itself,

everything begins to slow down a bit.

And your perspective becomes more clear,

your discernment is much more sharp,

and there's more space in you,

more peace, you see more clearly,

and spontaneously also you're not in the space of making decisions...

but more that you recognise

It's so...

all the balance, everything, is already in you, the potential.

If you don't go through the medium of the mind to try and work things...

stay only in this place of that neutrality in you.

This is not 'being blank'... it's not being blank...

because even if there's 'blank', there's the awareness of blank.

Stay as the Awareness itself.

Everything is showing up in this space.

And immediately you feel the expansiveness in you...

and a decision that you would've made five minutes ago completely...

thins out...

and now there's space.

Five minutes ago you felt like, "Ah! I can't spare even two minutes to look!"

And now there's... infinite expanse.

This is how changeful the conditions

of the environment, of the emotions and the mind

can... it turns on a penny... it's just like this.

Don't get caught up in that.

Stay as the Awareness itself.

There's always space.

There's this huge expanse...

stay there.

And when your attention has united with that space,

somehow that recognition has a way of blessing

every other aspect of your expression - is touched by it automatically.

This is the easy way.

But if you want to cultivate good habits and

do ten steps towards, then this is a different thing.

And that's also a way.

That is the Snail's way.

- Don't want that.

- Hhh, I will show you 'Samurai way'... Wha!

Quick!

Some people like the journey of... "ah, go and yes, check it out and enjoy..."

This is fine.

Because it's the same Consciousness, it's playing this role.

But some... there is no more time for

dilly-dallying... they don't want to look around.

Just want to go...to get to that point.

What is it? to go to the residue...

if there's one...

- True

- You can take one year to be happy...

or you can be happy now.

What will you choose?

- Now.

- You're happy now.

- Think so.

If you go to your mind to try and work at happiness,

then you become very miserable.

Trying to be happy is a most miserable thing.

- Yes, you're right.

- On the contrary, if you're feeling miserable and you say, "Listen...

"I'm not miserable enough!"

"I have only 80%...I want to turn up that."

"Where's the 20%?"

And go VERY miserable!

Then you start laughing,

and then you find automatically, "But this is so ridiculous!"

If you try to be happy,

you know, 'try to be happy' is like trying to act naturally.

You can't do it.

Stop trying and recognise this thing.

- Yeah.

- Look at this smile! My gosh!

Now she wants to hide it!

- Happy about it.

- Yes.

Yeah, thanks to you.
