How do I empty myself?

If you want to become empty, what is needed is to get dispossessed.

There are methods for that, how to do it.

Suppose, I put one billion dollars in your pocket. It feels full for one day, but when you see someone else walking with ten billion dollars, your pocket feels empty. Then let’s say, we put another nine for you, and now you have ten billion dollars. But then, another one is walking with a hundred billion dollars, and suddenly it feels empty again. Hence your pocket can never be full, no matter how much money you put in it.

We’ll take your head

When you passed your first standard, you felt like, what’s more, to know in this world. Then they told you that there’s a second standard. Then you went through this, then they told you that the tenth standard is a public exam, that you must do that, this is what your parents kept on telling you. The tenth standard is very crucial, and you believed it. You finished your 10th standard, and you’re feeling chest-puffed, and you thought you know it. The next day, they started bothering you about which college you will join. Like this at every point, how much we put into your head, your head will never be filled.

Learn to remain empty

At first, you can only fall in love with one person who produces one or two or three like you, then you fall in love with all of them, but then they produce grandchildren like this, that also you allowed, actually more than this one, so that your heart also cannot go full, you go in the constipated instalments, that’s different.

If you fall in love with everything in the universe, still it is not full, it means it is capable of taking more, so your pocket cannot become full, so your head cannot become full, and your heart cannot become full.

Hence, fullness is an illusion that you chase, there is no such thing. But emptiness is possible, what is empty is never partially empty, and fullness is always partial. Emptiness is always total, when something is empty, it’s absolutely empty.

If you try to do it in installments, then you will never have emptiness, because you can never reach that state

How do I empty myself

If I take a bucket, I can empty it by throwing mug after mug out, if I take a well, I can take buckets and buckets and buckets and can empty it.

You become empty not because you have nothing, but because you are dispossessed. You are not possessed by the things that you carry. Right now you are possessed, of your money, your home, your relationships, your God, your religion, your philosophies, your love affairs, anything, and everything, everything possesses you.

When you are dispossessed you are empty

So this is the purpose of sitting with us closed, not praying to somebody, not calling out some God, just cut off, when you are dispossessed, you are empty otherwise you’ll go on and on and you are looking in the wrong direction. But don’t try to be empty, one thing after another, even if you go for a million years, will always be finding something new. How you gather it, you never know. You can get rid of this, you can get rid of that, but you will keep on gathering other kinds of things. Hence don’t go that way, there are proper methods, and you should get initiated with something which will work.

When you want to get dispossessed of everything

There are two ways of dispossession of everything

One way is, the inside has become a total vacuum, so the doorway gets sucked in and nature has to open. The doorway becomes limp and falls inward because there is nothing. The individual being is completely burned out in the total vacuum. So the door falls inwards and it’s totally open.

Another way of dispossessing, you contain everything inside.

Everything is contained, you did not find any expression for your thought, any expression for your emotion, any expression of anything, you could not even utter a word. If you remain silent for four days, on the fifth day you feel like singing a song because you want to let go, of everything from within.

Conclusion

You didn’t let go of anything, so much pressure built up and this door got knocked open from the inside.

That lingering emptiness feeling some people call “living without a purpose.” It means that you might not have clarity on the type of person you are or the one you want to become. Not having specific goals or dreams to achieve can also make you feel empty.
