US-86056: (Edited Version)FLOW OF THE NATURAL SELF (THE PAJAMA SATSANG) 
I try to teach in so many ways how you could just be yourself. And to be yourself you must find the way of total naturalness. Isn't that what we teach? To make yourself feel totally free and to just be your natural self. Tonight, the idea is to have a little fun, so I have come down dressed in my jamies and dressing gown. And why not? Of course, we wouldn’t do this in a public satsang. But with my family, why shouldn’t you be closer and closer to me? The father's here, and he's walking with his cane while in his jamies and his gown. I'm not shy in coming down in my jamies and my gown. I'm not! My children will know that our Father is me, and who wants to be separated from the Father? You come closer and closer to the Father, and the Father comes closer and closer to you. That is the art of life: where I'm not apart or separate at all from you, not at all. I'm always with you, and with you in total respect. So, with my children why must I go and doll myself up and be the spectacle guru or the guru on the pedestal? Just let me be me and let yourself be thee. So, life moves along like the waves of a song, composing the divine symphony to make one realize in its own melody that you are none else but me. 
I'm talking to you fathers, now-- in your homes, are you going to bother dressing up? No, you're not going to do that. You don't need to. It's just falsity. With your children, you walk around your house in your jamies, and this makes them feel that they are with someone that loves them. Then they can learn how to accept the father that walks around with them in his jamies. Learn this lesson well, and what it means. Today and forevermore, just be yourself-- so that you, my sons, daughters, and whomever will always be with me. When that realization dawns, you'll find life becoming happier and happier. It is the quality of life that we have to develop. Quantity means nothing. There was a famous general who died very young, Alexander the Great. He is supposed to have said, "One moment of glory is worth so many years of living life without glory." And you are glory! 
            You are glorified! Don't you know that? It would be surprising if you don’t know this, because I can only see glory, glory, glory, all around me. There is nothing but divine glory that flows through each of us. We are wandering in the woods, and we miss the beauty of the trees and to forget the woods. 
For you are in the woods, you wooden heads! So, let the mind be filled with sawdust, rather than the thinking mind! The thinking mind creates all the problems. If only the mind would not think of all of the problems that people think! Thinking is a power that should be used wisely. But how many of us do that? It's just a tool to be used, as there are many kinds of tools to be used for different purposes. You can use this tool of thinking as an instrument of power to devour the sense of thinking that you are the doer of all that is done and of all that is doing. You are not the doer, you are not that which is done, and you are not the doing! So, we progress from mind to mind, from soul to soul, from heart to heart! You can describe this progress, and I am the scribe that describes the power of our Father. So be like the Mother or the Father-- and just live naturally! When this is achieved by you, you will find that life can never be blue. Not to be blue means to be happy. And that is you. You are the designer of life. That is the beauty of life. That is the joy of life.
