Shree: Concentration

 

250322: Shree: Concentration

the issue is of concentration - what does one choose to concentrate on? Mind is concentration or the capacity to concentrate on some issues over everything else. hence it is always about becoming. Mind exists eternally in some form - either as movement or as non motion. the fundamental reality is about becoming aware of this capacity to "create" something from non motion into vibrations + forces + forms. Forms are perceived and they consist of consciousness - except they do not appear so because we have created vibrations and we ourselves dwell into the same dimension of existence.  Is God different? Answer is "yes" with respect to the nature of perception where God lies beyond everything. Answer is "no" since the transformation has happened in imagination and NOT in consciousness as a medium of existence. A medium called God or consciousness can contain any vibrations leading to forms or perceptions or movement or manifestation. Hence all creation is essentially divine and this needs to be accepted with gratitude. This means that one stops asking "why" about the unfolding of events and one accepts things as they are.

thus what do we concentrate on? why can't we perceive God? Because we do not listen to His voice and we are consumed by self created demands of situations - as if our entire survival or sense of identity depends on this conditional existence. This equation has to be broken. God is unconditional and unless we become that state, we cannot perceive (or become) God.

what stops us from becoming a state of existence? Nothing but we ourselves. God's doors are always open - but we do not concentrate our attention there. First we need to realize that there is a door. Then we need to begin the search for finding the correct door, despite whatever compulsions of living may be stored for us. Then we need to request that the door should open. And then, we enter the door of God's abode.  This is a journey. unless all compulsions are surrendered, one cannot go near to the door of God. it is NOT compulsory to respond to anything in life (as a situation). The compulsion is felt because we are conditioned and we consider us separate from others or the situation itself.  If there is no separation of any kind, then there is no need to act in the hope of reciprocation and that is called as the unconditional state of being. This needs to be practiced every moment and hopefully we would definitely become God.
