Shiv Sutras - day 1 notes

Summary of Day 1 : 

1. Mind has to revert within to find the self (happiness and beauty - true wealth) : 
• Bliss is that which comes from within for no reason. 
• ⁠Hold on to the one positive in an ocean of negatives(like a rope in a well)
• ⁠The one who is searching for the self, is the self. 
• ⁠ You are not the thoughts/feelings. “ I am consciousness” - feel the liveliness which is the basis of existence. Being aware of consciousness is realising the self. 

2. Knowledge is bonding(limiting) : 
• The mind gains knowledge when awake(and little in dreams) In sleep, the mind rests in the self, but gains no knowledge. 
• ⁠ The more you try to know, the more you cannot know. 
• ⁠ Those who say they know, don’t know. And those who say they don’t know, they know.
• ⁠” I don’t know” is liberating.
