There is nothing inherent in you that is holding you back from Infinity. Whatever you are holding on to is your position and therefore your destiny. Whatever you are holding back from Infinity, that is what you will continue to be. That is the destiny that will repeat itself in experience. If you are capable of being feeling-attention then conditions will arise for you, but they will also become obsolete and fall away.

The way to give up everything is not through strategic renunciation or turning in and turning up, but through love without qualification. Then everything falls away. Everything becomes God. Everything becomes enjoyable and not binding. When you can be released as love completely and fall into Infinity completely, then everything dissolves.

But you see, you are afraid to dissolve. You think that you have to be in a position somehow, observing something, holding on to something, being held by something, whether it is in this gross form or in some subtle contemplation. You are afraid to release your consciousness to Infinity, because that means you will lose your point in space. You are going to lose your life — that is exactly true. Thus only when the Happiness of Communion at Infinity becomes obvious to you will that dissolution be permitted to become perfect.

Because it does involve the dissolution of everything, the dissolution of body, of all energy, all forms, all worlds, all that is mind, all concepts. It does involve that literally, you see. That is exactly what you are afraid will happen! [Laughter] That is what you call death and try to prevent. And that is exactly what does happen in this Communion. Everything is given up, everything is dissolved at Infinity.

Infinity must become your pleasure. Then this world becomes humorous and livable. Then you can make something sacred out of it, without holding on to it. It will pass away. Everything passes away. Everything is changing here. Everything is action. Everything you hold onto changes because it is itself change.

Therefore, holding on to a position obviously is not Truth. The surrender of all positions is true. Ultimately that becomes your position, moment to moment, not just in intense moments of formal meditation, when you have temporarily relaxed from the games of life. Ultimately, there is no limitation under any conditions. Even while active and appearing in the ordinary way, you are complete Zero, without a center, without any shapes whatsoever.

To the ordinary man that does not sound like Happiness — it sounds like some sort of craziness, some sort of tremendous, terrifying state, as Arjuna experienced in the Bhagavad Gita when he saw Krishna in his thousand-armed form. That is what that vision is all about — losing all ability to comprehend yourself in time and space. It is not just seeing somebody with a thousand arms. Actually that would be wonderful and interesting.

But to Commune with Something with endless dimensions, to fall into Infinity yourself, is terrifying. When Arjuna was drifting into that open-ended Divine Condition he shouted and screamed and told Krishna to please show him his two-armed, objective form which was good enough! [Laughter]

But my confession to you is that this Infinite existence is ultimate Bliss, the Great Happiness.
