Circles

 

Why does one exist? If it is for a purpose then it means there is desire. It means there is vibration and that means there is intent of engagement and there is expectation (perhaps of our attachment to survive as a construct of mind and body phenomenon). Both mind and body are grades of vibrations. These vibrations cause perceptions of space and time or the manner in which changes are perceived and how we tend to remain attached to these changes and how we expect control.

Whatever we express as desire shapes our way of looking at any form and force. The inner vibrations need to be observed and to be changed likewise for better perception – the ideal situation is to become God Himself, without any desire or ego or expectation or evaluation or survival concerns or judgments or any restrictions coming because of formation of wave.

We know this idea or urge to be free and tendency to cling. We cannot express it but we can feel it -as a character of manifestation. We face contradictions at every moment of our existence and we face this urge to perceive based on the demands of our bodies and minds. We think we should do something for having or creating a perfect situation – all this imagination is our choice to remain engaged in motion.

The feeling of rest and bliss is not a property of motion – either of us or of external scenarios. If intellect tries to resolve it, it is bound to encounter a scenario of “circles” – a start point leading to other points and not finding any end point to stop. One can keep going either ways of the line and the line (like a chain) does not seem to end. The line’s character also keeps changing with space and time and represents transformation. So neither is there a bounded definition to space nor to time in order to understand a particular phenomenon. This represents the world of motion/ vibration – change and non resting character of manifestation. The world of circles and a pendulum of one thing leading to another and back, so where is the start point or end point and what is the start point or the end point? No clue to the intellect! This question is applicable to all manifested phenomena – including our own personalities – that nothing is in isolation, nothing rests and everything seems to remain in a fluid state. Thus the expectation of control or peace needs to be down away with.

Why does this happen? It is because of the illusion that is created by “many” or desire. Vibration or desire is our ride with the motion and this continues to create an experience of mind, body, birth, death, intellect, feelings and all constructs. This overall is said to be a human phenomenon. Desire cannot be quenched by any property of manifestation. One will have to outgrow desire or the inclination to cling to motion. It doesn’t make sense to answer why Maya exists and why are we in this state of existence and why do we experience contradictions. I think despite this pointed question (for which there is no intellectual answer), one ought to relax and not let the question define our existence! I am not defined by the intellect, although intellect may be a process to realize the truth. Similarly, I am not defined by feelings either. I may feel sorry for something or guilty for other or feel loss or out of control or feel sad or annoyed or compassionate – but none of these define me or is supposed to be my identity. In other words motion and its result on “me” does not define my divinity in any case. Let Maya be as it is. I have no issues. But Maya is a property through which I keep expressing myself as motion and non motion. Nothing more to it! The only thing that can make one steady is realization of God. I am not the mind or the body and none of those things that vibrations make me perceive. I am none of it!

This means to give up the belief of a perfect condition, or a past or a future or anything that the senses or the body tell you. Give up expectation that comes from individual needs of survival. Give up differentiation or the idea of separateness. Give up worry that just keeps you on your toes, since worry is a sign of motion and motion is not “me”. Give up purpose born out of desire, since that leads to expectations and fruits of actions and we remain engaged.

Know that we are already complete and at peace. Know that nothing defines us and nothing ought to define us. We are the soul, forever at rest and whatever motion we perceive is just an apparent effect of the medium of consciousness. This idea needs to be practiced and has to sink within us.
