Detach yourself from your body
There is a deep attachment to the body – bound to be, it is natural. You have been living in the body for many, many lives, from the very beginning. Bodies have changed, but you were always with a body, you were always embodied. There have been certain moments and times when you were not embodied, but then you were not conscious.
So the first thing to be done is that you have to realize the fact that really this is your knowing – that you are the body. If you think that you already know that you are not the body, then you cannot toss aside the attachment, because really for you there is no attachment, you already know. So remember well, and realize well that you don’t know yourself as anything other than the body. This is the first basic realization. It is not the body which is making a barrier between you and the reality; it is your attachment to it. And the moment you toss aside the attachment, you will realize you are everywhere. Because of this attachment you feel you are limited by the body. It is not the body which is limiting you; it is your attachment to it. Once you know what the attachment is not there, there is no body to you, or, the whole existence has become your body. You are everywhere. In the body you are somewhere; without the body you are everywhere. In the body you are confined to a particular space; without the body you have no confinement. Rather, the whole existence becomes your body; your body becomes a part of the total existence
Confined to a place you will be in misery, because you are always bigger than where you are confined. This is the misery – as if you are forcing yourself into a small bowl; the ocean is being forced into a small pot. The misery is bound to be there. This is the misery, and whenever this misery has been felt, the search for enlightenment arises, the search for the Brahma. Brahma means the infinite one. The search for moksha means the search for freedom. In a limited body you cannot be free; somewhere you will be a slave. Nowhere or everywhere you can be free.
You have an oceanic feeling; your consciousness exists without any location. Your consciousness exists without being tethered anywhere. You become just like a sky, enveloping all; everything is in you. Your consciousness has expanded to the infinite possibility.
