- In this satsang, a seeker named Jennifer shares her experiences and reflections since her last visit to Ramesh Balsekar. The discussion explores the depth of her understanding of the non-doership concept, the changes it has brought in her life, and the ongoing challenges she faces in fully internalizing this teaching.
1. *Impact of Teachings:*
- Jennifer explains that hearing Ramesh’s teachings in person made a profound impact, much deeper than her prior experiences with his teachings through others or recorded media.
- She describes how the realization that she is not the doer has started to permeate her life, leading to a significant reduction in mental strain and a more effortless approach to life’s challenges.
2. *Intellectual vs. Experiential Understanding:*
- Although she intellectually grasps the concept of non-doership, Jennifer expresses a desire for this understanding to deepen more quickly.
- She acknowledges that while her intellectual understanding is strong, there are moments when fear, worry, and a sense of powerlessness still arise, particularly in relation to financial stress and health concerns.
3. *Dealing with Involvement and Emotions:*
- Jennifer discusses how she has become more aware of when her ego becomes involved, particularly in moments of anger or guilt.
- Ramesh highlights that the arising of emotions like anger is natural and should not be a source of guilt. The real suffering begins when the ego gets involved and resists these emotions.
4. *Positive and Negative Reactions:*
- Ramesh guides Jennifer to recognize that both negative and positive reactions, such as anger or compassion, are biological responses influenced by one’s conditioning.
- Jennifer reflects on how her reaction to positive emotions, like compassion, has changed. She no longer takes pride in being compassionate, recognizing it as a natural response rather than an achievement of her own doing.
5. *Shift in Approach to Life and Work:*
- Jennifer shares how her approach to professional achievements, particularly in her writing, has changed. She no longer feels the same pride in her accomplishments, instead feeling a sense of detachment and gratitude.
- She describes how this detachment has allowed her to work more freely and with less stress, as she no longer feels attached to the outcomes of her efforts.
6. *Challenges with Others:*
- Despite her personal growth, Jennifer admits that she still struggles with the perceived incompetence of others, particularly in professional relationships. This often leads to feelings of frustration and dissatisfaction.
- Ramesh suggests that the same understanding she applies to herself must also extend to others, recognizing that everyone acts according to their conditioning and not out of personal choice.
7. *Reflections on Writing and Teaching:*
- Jennifer discusses her recent book, which has been deeply influenced by Ramesh’s teachings. She notes that readers have noticed a significant difference in the depth and wisdom of her latest work compared to her earlier books.
- She expresses a desire to continue sharing these teachings, possibly through more writing or other avenues, but without any attachment to the outcome.
8. *Final Thoughts and Acceptance:*
- Ramesh reassures Jennifer that the substantial improvement she has noticed in her understanding is a positive sign, and there is no need to rush the process.
- The dialogue ends with a broader reflection on the importance of total acceptance, not only of one’s own actions but also of others’, as everything unfolds according to cosmic law.
