Shree: Doing “something”

 

200322: Shree: Doing “something”

In gardens, nature is manicured to adhere to our image of what It should be! Similarly we train dogs and cats so they obey us (as per our expectations and not be spontaneous and create nuisance!). I see the same approach even for toddlers that they are supposed to ask, wait, seek, approve, and not to cry and whine when they “feel” like it! Everything has to be ordered (it sounds more like a command), sanitized, sterilized, and mute – only to respond when we ask something (and that too respond in terms of our definition!!).

How frighteningly insane! And that is what we actually do. We expect things to happen in certain ways; at certain frequencies; in certain order, in certain intensity; in certain manner! We expect vibrations to erupt in certain ways – how unrealistic is that assumption! And hence the annoyance and stress that follow!

The basis of this assumption lies in ego, to which we cling with all our might. This also means we think we are independent and we are the mind and body and we hold extremely hard to perception and resist any kind of change or deviation. Alas we are all fighting a lost battle!

Anyway, a battle is perceived if we consider separated from the rest. Our perceptions of mind and body (vibrations) and the constructs of “me” and “you” and past and future are all limitations that we need to outgrow. We perceive life, birth and death and again that itself is a limitation and behave as if something ought to be done to stop death, which again is impossible. Everyone knows this, but no one seems to admit it openly and no one also seems to realize what it means to perceive a given moment in such a case!

We were never born and we never die. We are spirits and can become unconditional if a presence of consciousness is realized that is not bounded by space and time. We are from the same Source and hence we can become divine and essentially everything in fact is divine. It is because we look at manifestation from the angle of perception that we cling to such imaginations! Imagination itself means the making of vibrations – forces – forms in the medium of consciousness. Hence if we desire something (which we always do based on our mind and body signals), we encounter birth and death – else there wasn’t supposed to be any movement.

So consciousness is independent of anything and exists immaterial to whatever happens in the world of illusions or imaginations. It is “we”, who require undoing imaginations and renouncing everything. We aren’t anything absolute and hence all imaginations are superficial to the grand truth of the One. If everything is One, then will you ever touch it or change it or modify it or expect anything from it or evaluate it or justify it? THIS means that the Thing is Sacred and beyond laws of motion.

Thus why is our engagement even required to create something or prove something or achieve something?

Hari Om.
