You are the Brahman, you are part of that infinity and you are that. Then why would you be cunning if everything is a part of you? You are not cunning to a part of your own body.
*Chapter 10 - Shiva, The Fourth State Of Consciousness*
*Day 49*
Now that you have heard the Upanishad, you have to dwell on it, 'manana' and make it your own. This is the home of Truth and you will realize that you are living in it. You need to lead your life with this awareness.
Tapas, forbearance, Dama, your ability to withdraw from senses and go inward. You are not carried away by the senses, but you are behind senses, you have your mastery over them, or it's virtues, it's glory.
This happens naturally, a glimpse of the infinity gives you enormous inner strength and a say over your senses. You dont say, "Oh, I am helpless," and go into a sort of helpless mood.
You wake up and see, "Oh ,this is the abode of truth." A glimpse of Brahman makes you a beautiful human being. It doesn't make you cunning, narrow minded, calculating person, but one who is confident.
Someone is cunning because they are not aware of their power. When they feel they are weak, then they become cunning. If you are confident, you know that the universe is part of you and you are Lord there.
You are the Brahman, you are part of that infinity and you are that. Then why would you be cunning if everything is a part of you? You are not cunning to a part of your own body.
Can you be? It is impossible. Knowing this, you live with a certain ease and you are not sacred about anything. One who knows this, is free from all sins. Experiencing the infinity, he is rid of all sins and gets established in this wisdom and in this glory effortlessly.
Effortlessly, it's very important. Usually, whenever you hear a discourse, you go out with an idea: "I have to do this, and I have to do that," or "oh my God, I have to do that." I tell you, drop that. You have to do nothing.
When I say you have to do nothing, yes, I mean it. Sometimes you do things that should not be done, like drinking, smoking, drugs, etc. Why do you do them? I said do nothing. Do nothing.
We are asking you to do something because you are doing something else. It's like to remove a thorn you need a thorn, but if you don't garb any thorn, there's no need to pick another thorn.
You need medicine only if you are sick. So, the advice to do things is only when you feel you are sick. You do nothing.
