Don't hide behind spirituality

This is from an interview with Prajnaparamita, who I am going to see in Baarn, Netherlands, with my friend Joe this weekend. Full interview here

Question: Does it make sense to show one's inner conviction by acting it out, for example by going out on the street and demonstrating against war?

Prajnaparamita: If you feel you have to do, by all means do! Don't even bother whether it makes sense or whether it is useful. If you feel you have to do, do! Go! And again this depends very much from the angle you look. If your heart cries for the situation and you feel you need to do it, go!
Don't sabotage your unfoldment and honesty by hiding behind spiritual concepts like 'everything is perfect' and 'the world is as it should be'.
Do not use spiritual concepts for justification of your behaviour and actions. Be so honest and sincere and be aligned with your heart's truth and with what you have realised in your life right now. Be just honest! Everything at its own place and at its own time. Drop all these spiritual concepts, forget all that you have accumulated in this realm of spirituality. Let's forget it all and look deep into this moment! Live your truth, your highest wisdom, your highest love, your highest compassion! Yours! And not the one from the books! This again is integrity.

WHO AM I?

"I am Existence-Knowledge-Bliss Absolute. I am That by very nature. I cannot be anything else but That, as I am That alone without a beginning and an end. It is My real innate nature. I am the Absolute and Supreme Self, both within and without the finitude. I am Truth, eternal and everlasting. I am the only One, all in Myself. None exists save I, in and through all that exist. I am ever All Existence itself. I am the changeless One in the midst of all changes. I am the Formless in all forms. Change is linked up with form, and form is labeled with change. But I am beyond the two. I am not susceptible to all the ills of the flesh that exist crawling under the feet of form and change. I am the monistic unity, here, there and everywhere and at all times-nay for all times. Where is happiness, except in perfect realization of the One without a second? I feel I am all happiness itself. All Bliss I am. All joy I am.

I shine in the sun and the moon and the stars and the whole universe. I am the sun of suns, shining in the sun up above. I am the crystal light in the sun and virgin purity in the moon. I am the twinkling spark in the stars and the sustaining Principle in the universe. I shine, the sun shines. The sun warmly whispers unto Me of My eternal Presence in it. I am really all Myself in everything – the sun, the moon, the star and the whole cosmos. I am the living ocean of ecstasy that rages wild and surges and storms and levels down the earth and heavens. I send such continuous wave after wave of inarticulate ecstasy into the world drowning deep and scattering all its thoughts and cares. I beat in every breast, see in every eye, throb in every pulse, smile in every flower, shine in the lightning and roar in the thunder. I flutter in the leaves, I hiss in the winds and I roll in the surging seas. I am the Wisdom of the wise, the Strength of the strong and the Heroism of the heroic. I am the very life of Infinity both within and without. I am the One in the all and the All in One. I am the Impersonal Personality of the whole universe."

The mind can accept any boundary anywhere. But the reality is that, by its very nature, existence cannot have any boundary, because what will be beyond the boundary - again another sky. That's why I'm saying skies upon skies are available for your flight. Don't be content easily. Those who remain content easily remain small: small are their joys, small are their ecstasies, small are their silences, small is their being. But there is no need! This smallness is your own imposition upon your freedom, upon your unlimited possibilities, upon your unlimited potential.
