Aham-Brahma-Asmi - I am Brahman Tat-Twam-Asi - THAT You Are These statements - the mahavakyas - have caused considerable confusion among Indian spiritual seekers because the inner meaning has not been comprehended. Every twam is not Tat: every 'you' are not THAT. THAT is every 'you', THAT will always be there without 'you', but 'you' cannot be there without THAT. Unless this is very clearly understood, every seeker will want to be 'one with THAT' and will, therefore, be frustrated. What is to be very clearly understood is that every individual entity is connected to THAT Source; and the highest understanding is that every human being, in his daily living, must continuously remain connected to THAT Source and never be disconnected from it. The individual entity - the Ego - gets disconnected from the Source whenever he considers himself or the 'other' as the doer of some action, and blames and condemns him for some action. The connection finally ends when the body dies and the Ego no longer exists as a separate entity. To remain continuously connected to the Source in one's daily living means doing whatever is necessary to be done in any situation as if one is the doer - and, thereafter, to witness whatever is happening as something that is precisely the past, without any complaints in the present, without any expectation in the future, and importantly, without condemning anyone for anything - neither himself nor the other.

A Buddha's Babble,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Buddha's Babble (Paperback)
Balsekar says it plainly, clearly and with doubt. His skills in this later book have only gotten better. When I began to read this book it seemed too simply written compared to his works done 15 years ago, but it was only the fine honing of his ability through time that made it seem so. It is not as vast a work or as an encompassing one as, say, Consciousness Speaks. It is a smaller repetetive message done more casually and done magnificently.
Balsekar died last month. We have lost a grand mentor.
