K:
I just wanted to say thank you so much. There is nothing of greater value than this. These last weeks have been really, really busy on this end. Just practicalities from morning to night. And to sit here in Darshan, and to be reminded… what this is, is just...
There is nothing, there is absolutely nothing that is more worth than this
And the only thing I can say is just thank you, thank you so much for being available Samana and this Sangha.
Just wanted to express Gratitude.
Sri Samana:
So it could be said yes that there's nothing more important.
That is the expression of natural inquiry as the fruit of the tree of inquiry.
What is the knowing that there is nothing more important? What knows that? From where does that arise?
Because there is this ease in it and a spontaneous parsing out of the temporary.
The invitation is to remain there, that is to remain As You are.
There's also no requirement or use in blame or distractions that are a reversal of a position where there was self-blaming for one kind of distraction serving and now a reversal to another, and this is not useful.
Mind and the condition of the thinking mind as it appears, which hasn't inquired as to where do these thoughts arise from and to whom, when there's just this relation with mind which is the only relation one has ever known.
That these thoughts which are objects and that one appears to be in the reflection of objects with no capacity to recognize the knowing of this or that which illumines mind.
This most `importantness` can only arise from Truth and is wearing the garment of humility.
The familiar patterns and strategies of escape and avoidance and abandonment are themselves abandoned.
This nothing more important is all that has ever been and all the appearances and stories, all fine and well, but every single detail of it serving as a means to return to that which is most important.
For the seeking of Love or the seeking of Happiness in objects and to be seduced by the reflection of objects is to not recognize that which is most vital.
The essence of this, the knowing what is most important and the proclaiming of this is not a thought. It is not a passing consideration amidst and with equal value of all other considerations.
It is what is prior to all those other apparent options and choices that are all a demonstration of an assertion of an idea of who one is.
The most important is all that's ever been, from before taking the body to after dropping the body. It is the face before birth.
Life as it appears is the Sadhana as remembrance in the Lila of remembering and forgetting, with all attention on the objects and not on who is the one who is forgetting, and as it plays out all is well.
There will be challenges, there will be struggles, there will be difficulties, even the great Masters have those in common with you.
It is your position in relation to that, which is what determines that.
The most important is nothing to do with time or space or name or form.
The most important is all there Is, and so there is no thing more important, because consciousness only refers to itself not the objects in consciousness.
Nothing more important is all there is regardless of what appears, as it is all inclusive.
There is no moving away from Truth.
And simply to note that as this is not a sharing of apathy or nihilistic disengagement.
All one need do is look at the conditions as they are expressing and the urgency in which they express as that is either bound by a dilemma that has no view of that which is most important or is very very slow in recognizing that.
So, as there is no person who wakes up, understand that that which is the most important and Awakeness is not personal and in service to this entire Lila, this entire unfolding, so to speak.
For the mark and stain of self-centeredness is more than obvious and self apparent.
So this, Dear Ones, is in service to totality as totality.
Nothing more important, nothing better can be said than that.
There are plenty of teachers and teachings that say ignore ignore ignore. I can assure you that the crisis as it is, is invoking an urgency that invites the Master and the Sage.
There is nothing more important and there is absolutely nothing personal about it.
So, as the music and the hearing of it are the same, sameness, who has ears will hear and who has eyes will see.
And the recognition of nothing more important is Knowing.
For knowledge, True Knowledge is the end of all knowledge.
And there is Nothing More Important, indeed.
