To think sometimes is to doubt one’s intentions. Doubt is a strength at times for it makes us aware what is appropriate and whether are we only bodies or the mind or something more than that and hence our decisions are valid to what extent? People continue to argue or talk based on fear and ego. That is also a given. Change is also a given and it makes no sense to try and restrict any change or to construct an identity based on any dimension of vibrations. Change is not me and I do not restrict or alter any change. Things “happen”.

Survival or existence and to consider existence as “finite”. This creates a problem of its own. When I am saying these things, I am not complaining and neither am I expecting anything as a solution – I am just stating things as they are. We have not understood the meaning of existence completely. Existence has consciousness (as an eternal non changing aspect – from which everything else is seen) and an aspect of movement, imagination, intent, vibrations, forces and forms and perceptions. This of course changes. The issue is about how one accepts this situation. Fundamental in all this realization is the concept of “change”. Trust that God or consciousness is the basic unit of everything and everything else about movement and “me” is an apparent creation, which we hold on strongly to the same. We take vibrations, forces and forms and us as real and hence we differentiate and we fear. Fear is not different from attachment or expectation or pain or anger or construct or memory or identity or a manifestation of change. ANYTHING can be brought to existence. (मराठी मध्ये त्याला सिद्ध होणे अस म्हणतात). Mind, after all, is existence. If I imagine motion, then I make fear exist. If I become consciousness, then fear goes away. Thus, our existence as human beings, as thoughts, as bodies  - are brought alive (or made real) by our own intent or vibrations. This existence should be seen as a form of eternal dimension of consciousness. We think we change, or expect some permanence or should keep thriving something or create a perfect situation – all this indicates an imagination of existence. Whatever we do, we keep thinking and the cycle DOES NOT stop.

Cycle indicates a movement along any line or curve, which does not have a start or an end point but only a decision to turn left or right or go straight or peddle fast or slow or stop or go. The cycle is an imagination and so is the terrain on which the cycle moves. Does the cycle move or the terrain moves and does the “rider” on the cycle move? Interesting question. If one realizes that the rider DOES NOT move anywhere (and is permanent and has got nothing to do with the cycle or the terrain and the experiences it offers) then the cycle and the terrain can be dropped altogether as the rider is happy regardless of the cycle or the terrain. Why should the rider mistake his identity for the cycle or the terrain? This is the mistake “we” create. We think we exist so there ought to be some cause and effect and we ought to take control and run and expect some perfection and create an ideal peaceful situation and we have a mind and body – this is equivalent to keep riding the cycle on the terrain for searching something and hoping to expect that we become satisfied. ALL things currently are cyclic in nature. It is not a matter of the scale of our undertaking – whether it is too trifle or tiny or too huge and complex. The moment a thing is imagined, it takes on a momentum of its own and becomes cyclic. Who creates the momentum? We do. We, ourselves, are momentum going in rounds of birth and death. Whoever said that there is just one life of birth and death is fooling himself into believing that nonsense.

Thus “coming into motion” is existence for us currently. Philosophically it is referred as the “potential” of consciousness – this medium means that. This motion is seen or felt by our senses and they ask for more engagement. I cannot stop the momentum and I cannot expect that the problems will be solved. One thinks of a problem and the momentum has begun! One will notice that by doing anything and by taking a decision and completing an action, things will stay at rest – but they don’t! Because of what we are made of – as phenomenon. And this is to be accepted. My doing anything or not doing anything is immaterial to anything else! This should mean, in other terms, that everything is “unconditional” and not to be taken personally. For us, it means that I think, love and act unconditionally, because that is WHAT is being eternal.

Do it. One will realize that our thoughts, feelings and actions can become unconditional and they expand to everything to such an extent that all movements finally dissolve into consciousness. In other words, consciousness and movement were one and the same OR there was ONLY consciousness and all other things were just apparent. We make things “Real” because we restrict our thinking as mind and body. Do not restrict thinking and then it will dissolve, since the boundary itself has dissolved! There is no need to think, for thinking means separation of me from something else (cycle/ terrain/ rider). Become empty of thought or any purpose.

Let go off everything that seems to define your identity. No need to remember anything or your mind or skills or body or senses or money or security or change or words or education or optimization or time or shortage or commitment or focus or multitasking or anything – they are vain imaginations or only illusions to retard one’s existence. Everything is only God and He is the doer, not we. He is the only existence and we are only apparent. Trust this, live upto it. Feel it that intrinsically things are divine. And that is existence.

Hari Om.
