Maharaj: You have come here and you are sitting here, but this doesn't mean that you are expected to sit here for 24 hours continuously for days and days. You have come here for a short while, then you will go, again you will come. Like that, this body is a place for dwelling for a short while.
Having stabilized in the Absolute, the distinction is clearly made of beingness and prior to beingness.
Questioner: In the old days, it says in the Upanishads, any disciple had to stick close to the Guru for one year without opening his mouth, and only then he could ask questions.

M. When he sits in close proximity to a Guru the capacity of his beingness to receive this teaching becomes mature. His capacity to understand increases. It arises within him, it does not come from outside him
You must come to a firm decision. You must forget the thought that you are a body and be only the knowledge "I Am," which has no form, no name. Just be. When you stabilize in that beingness it will give all the knowledge and all the secrets to you, and when the secrets are given to you, you transcend the beingness, and you, the Absolute, will know that you are also not the consciousness. Having gained all this knowledge, having understood what is what, a kind of quietude prevails, a tranquility. Beingness is transcended, but beingness is available.
Q. What is that state?

Q. What is that state?
M. It is something like a deer taking rest in the shadow of a tree. The color of the shadow is neither light nor very dark, this is the borderland. Neither jet black nor very bright, halfway between them, that is that shadow. Deep blue, like clouds, that is that state. That is also the grace of the Sat-Guru. Everything is flowing out of that state, but this principle does not claim anything, is not involved in anything that is coming out of it, but this beingness is available. That deep, dark blue state, the grace of the Sat-Guru. This is the state of the jnani, this is a very, very, rare, natural samadhi state, the most natural state, the highest state.
You must have a firm conviction about this. Once the decision is taken, there is no moving away from it. The fruition of your spirituality is to fully understand your own true nature, to stabilize in your true identity. One must have patience, the capacity to wait and see(Prior to Consciousne
