There is a whole crowd inside you. You are the father of so and so, son of so and so, the mother of so and so, the brother of so and so, the trainer of so and so, the employer of so and so … there are so many personalities inside you, who are all the time talking. There is an inner chatter. Now if you look inside, there is nothing but this chatter going on all the time...
But as you learn the Art of Being with the 'What Is' without effort - first you have to do this with effort, then slowly it becomes without effort - that is when we say you are awake.
Then strangely, if you become aware of this dialogue, the dialogue stops. And once the dialogue stops, you transcend thought. The ultimate - or the truth or what we call divine or what we call unconditional love - all those terms refer to something which is beyond thought. Thought cannot capture it.
Thought is only mechanical, it is repetitive. It is essentially the past flowing through the present into the future. So you have to go beyond thought if you are to come face to face with what you call the divine, or to truly experience unconditional love or limitless joy. You have got to transcend thought.
Now when you become intensely aware, (that is what they call 'in the heat of attention'), the dialogue stops. When that dialogue stops, thought ceases, all conflict ceases. The mind becomes very, very quiet. At that moment, there is a great benediction.
