I perceive things in a particular manner depending on my attachment to constructs of space, time (or vibration or mind-body). This can either lead me to stress or to realization of Maya – a state of motion and non motion and what does motion do to me. It creates an illusion of “many”, which in fact originates from a state of motionlessness or the One. This motion also takes us away from our nature of One and hence can be said to be a projection of God. God is One, Truth is One, Bliss is One, Existence and knowledge is One and what we perceive is the relative dimension of this Truth.

I need not be ashamed of what I think or do or say to anyone, since I am only some form of temporal existence. Thinking, situations, events, people are of my own making and it is upto me how I wish to get involved in this reality of motion, which means thoughts, feelings, senses, body. When one knows that there is only One, then why fear? There is only “Isness” of existence – motion or non motion. One need not search for why this is the nature of existence - it has to be accepted. In this variety of life, the effort is to remain calm, patient and remain positively engaged. Say to yourself that you are NOT the change, you are NOT the manifestation and you are the One!

There is no need for justification or evaluation or aggression or speed or talking or loudness or expecting change or anything. If we are the wave, then that is bound to change. The silence behind the wave is important to be realized.

Desires of engagement are unending and the more one tries to satisfy them, the more they remain excited since there is no point of manifestation that remains at rest. Happiness or sadness is not a property of manifestation – it is a vibration that develops within us. We vibrate, so we become motion, so we expect, so we experience pain, so we run after constructs that assure happiness and the process continues.

Above things do not necessarily mean that I am able to live ideally as is said in philosophical terms and neither am I required taking guilt for not living up to this idea. I am not answerable to any idea or person or event or situation since all these things do not dictate who I am truly.

The single idea that we imagine is of a body, that it will die, so we would experience enormous pain or some kind of loss. We keep changing bodies and death is only a change from one situation to another dictated by our perceptions or the momentum we have created for ourselves. So summarily whatever we may think we should be doing to lessen the evil or difference – we live in illusion that things would become better. The world is differentiation and that will keep all kinds of forces alive. We need to surrender these forces so they do not act on us or that we do not become those forces. So give everything – your body, mind, thoughts, feelings to God. Become empty of forces of any kind so one becomes the One. I as God have taken the decision to manifest, so I perceive motion. I should now take the decision of renouncing the play, so I become One again.
