All the knots of the heart need to be made straight every day. The knots are in perception – to be compelled to get identified as motion or non motion and to subsequently expect something or plan for something or do something about it. Identification of existence (as motion) happens in motion itself where one gets aware of mind and body and the perceptions that result therefore. These perceptions construct a situation for which one is required or compelled to respond. Again, perception when broken down means vibrations that imply the property of consciousness. Sometimes existence as separateness is felt since we identify with the particle (force and matter) and at other times we feel space and change. Any form that manifests and perceives an existence expresses this property. Thus our constructs of ourselves and the external situation stem from this property. Again, when I write this I do not necessarily mean where does this entire phenomenon start and why does it start and how does it start and how long will it remain. So I cannot vouch for space, time and the causal relationship. I can only say what I have understood from my existence so far. Above relationship is bound to change based on how the perception continues to get modified. I can discover the behavior of this property - of consciousness and of manifestation and how space, time and causal relationship seems to express them but at no point of time I wish to confirm anything with surety. So this means that I exist incidentally and above understanding is incidental to the constructs that have been created along the way.

In the same way, we cannot give any parameter to explain consciousness in terms of space or time or relationships, but the medium does exist else I would not have been writing on this and you would not have been reading it! It seems there is only the idea of “how” things are and not about “why” (or any purpose) or “when” (time) and “where” (space). To be concerned about these questions means to remain engaged with motion. Motion presents these questions to us and the person who can transcend these questions, is the one for whom motion will not have any impact on him.

This brings us to the idea of “acceptance” of situation as it is (motion and non motion). It also means that motion is not the doer of anything; it is only incidental to consciousness. I must renounce everything to feel consciousness and this may mean renouncing everything that the body and mind indicates. In other words to give everything back to the Lord and seeing everything as Lord’s undertaking and offering our services to Him without any hint of our own existence. Renouncing and offering without expectations are one and the same. Do it by any applicable method suiting you. To give up questions of why, how, where and when means to “trust” the presence of consciousness and its absolute existence in everything.
