Fox and Lion

 

Things continue to happen, in terms of existence of some kind, momentum, force, situations, people, events, pain and pleasure. All these imply perception of existence when vibrating as a human being. This is understood retrospectively only if we realize the spiritual dimension in us that is eternal, motionless and beyond space and time. That exists, so everything else does – as an illusion or a state of existence or a fact of motion or incidental or apparent manifestation or space-time-causation.

We are definitely spiritual, there is no two opinion about it…except that most of us haven’t woken up to the idea or the experience of the same. I became a fox (human being) and then a lion chases me (a situation) or did I create the fox and the lion?!! This is the inquiry. Is this real or is this a dream? I take on certain characteristics of a fox from consciousness and then I attract all other kinds of motions (such as a lion). I get trapped as a fox and I live as a fox. I eat, prey and defend myself – all these from the characteristics that I have taken through consciousness. The story is no different for the lion or the tree or the elephant or the ocean or the Sun. All these represent specific points of space-time and they remain dependent on each other – all transforming and merging and evolving into one another. The entire cosmos is a unit of motion with no start and no end in sight. So to suppress it or to defend it or to embrace it – all remain limited responses.

The key is to break the motion that we identify with. There are suggested ways to do so. The basis of all these ways is the same – crush the ego. One can do it through unconditional love or unconditional intellect or unconditional work or unconditional self analysis. The key attitude is “unconditional” – not related to any space or time (or beyond the laws of Nature/ compulsion/ force).
