Nothing Left Behind

The process of devotion to Me, the practice of this Way, is entirely about transcending egoity and Realizing the Nature, the Position and the State that is here before you Manifesting in this Appearance here, the Conscious Light, the one and only Conscious Light that is Reality, Truth, Real‑God, that is egoless, that is without separateness, without difference, without otherness, without relatedness, utterly and entirely free of it, utterly. And that Realization is not held in place by any conditional activity whatsoever. That’s the unique nature of [the] seventh stage Realization. It is not a conditional Realization, it is not achieved or kept in place by any conditional activity whatsoever. It is inherently egoless and perfect.
The beginning of the process wherein that Realization is Given by Grace is the free self-forgetting response to Me. Who will yield? Who will surrender? Who will turn to Me so profoundly? Who will make this the discipline of their moment-to-moment, breath-by- breath life? Who is so full of the recognition of Me that they will practice the turning to Me without self-reference? Who will behold Me searchlessly, and attend to Me, until in My Good Time and Pleasure, I Grant you Perfect Identity with My Own Person?
The process at the beginning is this turning to Me in response to Me, doing it under all conditions, and all circumstances, in the context of all functions, relations, circumstances, so that simply being turned to Me is a moment-to-moment condition, manifesting as fundamental equanimity, devotionally absorbed, in being turned to Me. And then you are Searchlessly Beholding Me not because you read the booklet. ‘It says here‑‑Searchless Beholding. Oh, Searchless Beholding‑‑.’ [Beloved mimics someone following Instructions mechanically] [Laughter] ‘Not seeking, but Beholding‑‑].
So you make a fool out of yourself all the time by being an ego, but that’s the tapas of the discipline of this true sadhana. It’s an absolute loss of face and everything that’s hanging off the back of it, [laughter] until there’s nothing left behind. As I just said. Nothing.
