Shri Bhagvan: "After your awakening you must learn to apply the teachings. Before awakening you cannot apply these teachings. For example one important teaching is stay with the ‘what is’. Experience the ‘what is’. Live with the ‘what is’. All this you cannot do unless you are awakened. But once you are awakened you must do it. You must just be aware of what is going on. That is possible only if you are awakened. And awareness is not a means to an end. It is an end in itself. The awakened one does not seek any end. He is just aware of the bird in the sky. He is aware of the fellow human being. That is all. But as he keeps doing this something else happens. Suppose you put a vegetable on a pan and keep on frying it the vegetable under goes a change. That is transformation.
Similarly attention or awareness is like heat. And the ‘what is’ undergoes a change. That change we call transformation. So the awakened person as he practices the teachings under the heat of attention the ‘what is’ undergoes a transformation. This transformed person moves into very high states. And in due course becomes god realized.
Awakening is like a torch. You have got to apply it and see what it is. If you do not see the ‘what is’ there is no use. Awakening is merely giving you a torch. We give you the torch. Making use of the torch is your job. Only a transformed person could become one with god. Not otherwise."
