up to us

 

210122: Shree

It is up to us to what extent we allow us to be dragged into worldly affairs. Worldly affairs are the constructs of inner vibrations through which we remain in motion, we perceive space-time and we perceive change. With this comes fear and expectations of control and also attachment. When I am saying this, it is a phenomenon that happens in consciousness – like a magnet that attracts certain situations. There is a magnet, hence there is a needle or iron that gets attracted by this force, by which both the character of magnet and the needle become known. So, the magnet (form), iron(form) and the force of attraction are interdependent. All this is a play of force and form happening in the world of motion. They are perceived differently and hence there are effects and causes. We get affected since we  treat our identities or existences different from the rest. This difference makes us or keeps us engaged  with the hope of final resting place, but none exists here.

The final resting place of course exists – in non motion or in transcendence of motion. In other words to realize the existence of soul and that everything is in fact only one soul which is projected as force and form apparently, when seen from the lens of motion!

Again this creates the question of the nature of engagement required. It is up to us. I may believe that I am responsible for everything  and I find no peace. I may realize that responsibility was only an imagination coming from individual existence and hence a soul exists independent of anything and all talks of responsibilities do not hold much weight. This requires review of our thoughts and actions. Are we doing something for running or for avoiding or because of our purposes or intents? Then it is going to keep us engaged. Are we doing something to realize the soul in us? Then there will be peace by this realization.
