It was March
30, 1969, news quickly spread that Maharishi Mahesh Yogi had invited "the
wise man of the mountains," Tat Wale Baba, to come visit us that
afternoon. In the early afternoon we all anxiously waited for our guest to
arrive.
Tat Wale Baba
began his discourse in unstrained, forceful Hindi, and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
translated.
"What is the aim of all the
beings? It is the attainment of infinite happiness. A life free from suffering,
and the attainment of eternal happiness is what we want. Now, we should
discriminate and analyze if there is anything in the world which can give us
permanent, eternal happiness. From the ant up to the giant of the Creator, all
are in the field of change, that is, relative values. Infinite happiness can
only come from something which could be immortal, non-changing, eternal. This
which is the goal of everything, this infinite, is our own Self. And in
order to experience that Self which is the basis of all, we don't have
to seek, we don't have to search, we don't have to make efforts. It's there,
present everywhere. Wherever you are, in whatever reign of time or place, that Self
is there - wherever we are in whatever time. Only, we have to take our
awareness to that level and that is it. Having forgotten that level of life, we
are seeking for that eternal happiness. That Self is. It is being
and it is blissful. Having forgotten that, we now are seeking for it. We have
forgotten what we ourselves are and we're trying to find that in the world. As
long as we don't enter into that area which is infinite happiness, free from
suffering, so long we will not be free from suffering and we will not get into
that eternal happiness. There is no happiness of significant nature in the
world; the child is gone, and the youth is gone, and the man is old, and even
then he is not fulfilled in the world. When he gets established in the Self,
then automatically freedom from suffering and attainment of bliss will be
there."
