The Song of Irrelevance

The Song of Irrelevance

You only suffer because you hope that one day it will be good

Q: Lately I have been told by my friends that this what I want to reach, cannot be reached without a master...

K: Who told you that?

Q: My friends...

K: I would forget them, they sound more like enemies. [Laughter]

Q: But they think Im lost...

K: Yeah. You are lost. You still have friends?

Q: Yeah...

K: We will work on it. [Laughter]

Q: They take good care of me...

K: Thats the problem with friends.

Q: Not all friends take good care...

K: But they always take something even care [Laughter]. So, what do they say?

Q: They say that the spiritual path, you cant take on your own, somebody has to take you by your hand...

K: Okay. And? [Laughter] First we have to talk about what is your goal, what do you want to reach? Then we can decide if you need a master or not?

I cannot say yes or no. If your goal is to have a more open view of the world or wider consciousness or become more aware or whatever you call as a spiritual goal, then I would agree that maybe you need some help. But whatever you long for that what is your nature no!

The Song of Irrelevance

Q: For that we dont need help?

K: No. So, yes you need help if your goal is like having an idea of enlightenment then you need a master. If your idea is to become more aware or realize yourself as prior to everything or realize yourself as a spirit or realize yourself as a space, all for whatever you can have a goal like an idea of a better place, or better circumstance or no-circumstance, whatever you can come-up with, then I agree that you need someone who takes you there.

But to become That what-you-cannot-not-be That what is your nature theres no master who can help you. So, yes and no. Thats why I asked whats your goal. If you want to be happy, then you have masters for that who can make you work forever for your bloody happiness. If you need an open heart, then you have many heart masters surgeons. That we can talk about.

But for That absolute satisfaction what never needs to be satisfied, theres no master, no teacher, nothing to learn. But for all the rest, you can do something. So, you have to decide maybe or maybe-not.

Q: Maybe its not my decision?

K: Thats still one too many who has no decision. This excuse we dont buy anymore. No one else can be what-you-are, other than you. So, whose decision would it be? If you think its not your decision, theres still a decision to make. So, youre already in a wrong idea that something has to be decided. If you cannot decide, grace should decide or God should decide. No! They are more helpless than you. There is no grace for you. No one will ever help you in that.

But for all the rest, for sure there are dream masters and dream goals or dream ways, something to reach. Again, its always a paradox yes and no. And Im just too lazy for all the relative goals. I would rather watch television. Thats my relative goal never to move away from the television. [Laughter]

Q [Laughing]: You reached it...

K: [Laughing] And now we took it away from you. No you cannot get away from the television because you are the Absolute viewer and all this is tell-lie-vision. You never moved, you are the Absolute eye of God who is the Absolute observer the one and only spectator.

Q [Another visitor]: After meeting many teachers, I met you in Madrid. And I think I missed what you mean by true nature. You are speaking about something that I cannot get...

K: Thats your true nature that what you cant get.

Q: But when you speak about your true nature...

K: No. Its not your true nature, its nature. True nature is already artificial.

Q: What do you mean by nature?

K: It means That what-you-cannot-not-be which is in the presence and absence of anything you can experience, which is in the presence and in the absence of any experiencer what-you-are. That what never demands anything, that what never needs anything, there is no necessity for what-you-are in anything.

Q: There is no need of Self to realize itself?

K: No need. The Self doesnt need to realize the Self because the Self is Reality permanently realizing itself. It cannot get more realized than it already is. There is no more realization of the Self. Only in the relative dream, there is more or less or gaining something. But not in That what is not a dream.

Q: The nature is the Self?

K: Its called Sat and Sat is satisfaction absolute satisfaction, uninterrupted satisfaction. The absolute absence of any idea of existence, and how existence has to be, and could be, and shall be. All those ideas depend on a dream character. The dream character is a phantom and it has all the ideas of masters and servants and slavery ideas of how it has to be.

But That what-you-are in nature, has absolutely no idea about itself or anything else. So, your nature would say, its absolute absence of any presence of any idea of what-you-are and what-you-are-not the absolute absence of any presence of whatever you can imagine. So, you are not an image. But the moment you try to imagine yourself, you become an image of yourself like a shadow and when you are the shadow of yourself, you miss yourself thats called suffering, and longing.

So, you suffer out of bullshit that you found yourself thats the misery. Its unavoidable. The moment you found yourself, you know yourself, you suffer anything. That what-you-are cannot be known by itself but when what-you-are knows itself as a person that is born, any idea, any experience already theres misery.

Q: The absence is also of the Self?

K: Yes. The Self doesnt need any Self, the Self doesnt know any Self. So, for the Self, even the word Self is too much. You could say God doesnt know any God, it doesnt need to know God. But the moment God knows God, there are two Gods two Gods too many. And then the whole story starts, in the hell of missing this passionate story of seeking what was never lost. Thats called the drama of God in divine comedy, but its a joke. Hes suffering about a joke that he told himself. But now he believes in the joke. Already God is a joke. So, what to do?
