John Dey, from the United States, tells how fear dominated his life for most of his adult life. He was afraid of being punished by his father, of his mother’s reactions, of his brother, his friends, his wife, his children. And now the fear is completely gone.

I used to sit and judge and criticise everyone. What they wore. You know, how they acted. How they behaved towards other people. Everything.

Now all I have is tremendous compassion. Why? Because most of them are doing things they do not know are harming themselves and others. It is really sad. It is completely unnecessary.

That is why I do not suffer. I do not think about things over and over again. In the past, when something happened that hurt me… what would happen is that I would think about it for days, weeks, many times over. I should have said this. I should have done that. That person should not have said this. That person should not have done that. It would never stop.

It is gone. All that exists now is just peace. Because of all this, the person people call “John” really no longer exists when the thoughts stop. And because of this, I just experience life as it is. It is as simple as that. And I must admit it took some time to get used to the idea that life can go on without the mind being active.

Someone coined a phrase recently that they functioned like an enlightened person with impulses. So, there is an impulse to do this. There is an impulse to do that. So life is completely spontaneous. It flows freely from one thing to the next to the next. And I really do have a ton of energy. I do a lot of things. It is simple.

I see things differently. I can see things in the context of what is happening. How the world around people is affecting them. How they are innocent victims of their past. I remember the days when this was true for me, and my heart aches for them more than ever.

I am simply happy. I am in love with my life. I love who I am, perhaps for the first time in my life. I have tremendous freedom. Emotional freedom. Freedom from the flood of thoughts. And freedom from all that pain and torment that used to be my life.

So, those of you who are part of the 74,000 Deeksha Yajna program, congratulations. The life you are going to live will be spectacular. And together we will change this world around us.

And for those who have not yet joined, I am not encouraging you. No, I am actually begging you, for your own sake, for the people you love, your children, your family, your friends: be part of this group that will finally be happy and free. Enjoy your life. Help others. It is worth it.

So, I hope this has helped you understand the nature of this life. I hope my comments help you understand your own progress along this path to complete freedom. That is the idea. It lets you see what you have done. It lets you see how far you have come. It gives you a little hope.

THE STORY

I must thank Sri Amma and Bhagavan and the Great Compassionate Light for everything. I would not be sitting here talking with you if there were any lack of grace from them. Everything I am, everything I feel, all my thoughts, my whole life, the breath I breathe, this joy I feel, and this new life is because of them. So, thank you. Thank you again and again.

People ask me what my life was like before and how it is now. So let me go through a small list.

I remember being hurt all the time. It really hurt physically. I put on a good front. I was happy with people. But inside I was tormented. Tormented by how I felt. Tormented by my memories. Everything hurt. But now that is just a memory. I remember all of it, but it no longer hurts.

All I feel now is just this abundant peace and silence. And whenever I go in and see how things are, well, it brings a smile to my face. I am well.

The other thing that dominated my life was fear. In fact, I was scared to death for most of my adult life.

For as long as I can remember, I was afraid of something. Afraid that my father would punish me. My mother would shout at me. My brother would ridicule me. My friends would reject me. I would lose my job. My wife would leave me. My children would disrespect me. Scared of something. It motivated everything I did.

It is completely gone. There is nothing here. And I remember everything. I remember those occurrences. But they feel nothing. And it is not as if I feel nothing. As if my heart were switched off or something. No. On the contrary, I feel everything. I feel the people around me. When I go out, I feel the plants and the trees.

There is no difference between how I feel inside and how I feel outside. There is this giant sense of being connected. Being part of something much, much bigger than I ever thought possible. And because of the absence of hurt and fear, all the dialogue, that is, all the inner chatter, is gone.
