"Beyond Thoughts and Memories: The Importance of Experiencing God"

   It is not enough to just remember God, but to experience Him. Ask a person who is 70-80 years old what their biggest ailment is, and they will say that it is their memory. They are surrounded by good and bad memories, and they cling to them, unable to let go.

Recently, I spoke to an elderly person on the phone and asked how they were doing. They began to tell me that the Kali Yuga has arrived, and that is the root of all problems. When I asked them how they knew this, they simply said, "Look at this coronavirus, it has come as a sign of the Kali Yuga and will take everyone."

I suggested that they sit and meditate for a while, but they told me that they are troubled by their thoughts and cannot sit still. They don't know where these thoughts come from and sometimes they are from their childhood.

I say that the meaning of memory is to bring back what is dead, what has passed but is no longer there, and remember it again. If you bring God into your memories, it means you are doing the same thing you were doing with your past. What kind of God's thoughts will you bring into your mind? You are troubled by memories, start remembering God instead.

A mother was giving a sermon, it seemed like she was walking straight to God. She was saying that if you start thinking about famous pop singer Hunny Singh while sitting in meditation, then become aware of yourself and consider Hunny Singh as God at that moment. If the thought of a river comes to your mind while sitting in meditation, then start seeing God in that river at that moment, your thought will disappear.

That mother also did not know that the God she was talking about was also just a thought.

God is not just a thought, but as soon as you remember it, your thoughts do not become completely silent. The only and final way to calm thoughts is through experiencing one's own self, that is, experiencing one's own soul. When this experience begins, thoughts do not stop, but they become calm. You do not have to stop them.

When you eat food, you taste it and do not tell your thoughts not to come. You do not try to stop thoughts at that time. When you taste the food, thoughts automatically stop. That's about taste.

When you start experiencing your own self as the self-existent God, there is no need to stop thoughts. The need to stop the game arises only when we cannot experience the self-existent God ourselves. Let me tell you that this self is the Supreme Soul itself. Experience it, start experiencing it, and then see what happens.
