Be Aware Of Yourself

March 8, 2023

“Whatsoever you are doing, go on doing one thing continuously inside yourself: be aware of yourself doing it.

You are eating: be aware of yourself. You are walking: be aware of yourself. You are listening, you are speaking: be aware of yourself.

When you are angry, be aware that you are angry. In the very moment when anger is there, be aware that you are angry. This constant remembering of the self creates a certain energy, very subtle energy in you. You begin to be a crystallized being.

Ordinarily, we are just a loose bag. No crystallization, no center really, just a liquidity, just a loose combination of many things without any center, a crowd, constantly shifting and changing …   with no master inside.

By awareness is meant, be a master. And when I say ‘be a master,’ I don’t mean to be a controller. When I say ‘be a master,’ I mean be a presence, a continuous presence. Whatsoever you are doing or not doing, one thing must be constantly in your consciousness: that you are.
This simple feeling of oneself, that one is, creates a center: a center of stillness, a center of silence, a center of inner mastery, an inner power. And when I say ‘an inner
power,’ I mean it literally … the fire of awareness. It is a fire.
If you begin to be aware, you begin to feel a new energy in you, a new fire, a new life. And because of this new life, new power, new energy, many things which were dominating you just dissolve.”
