Shree: Bliss

 

290422: Shree: Bliss

Things are in a mess in “one room”. We believe that by arranging the mess or taking it to another room and arranging it there will “solve”” the problem. Three things are ingrained here –

A room is a situation. A situation is incomplete by its nature because as a phenomenon, we have desires or vibrations and hence we ourselves are incomplete (and for us therefore, any situation appears incomplete). Thus we are compelled to keep improving the current situation.

This makes us fabricate “another room” or a situation in our minds wherein we think that the problem will be solved provided things fall into place based on our expectations and efforts. This fabrication or imagination of “another room” (or another situation) also stems from incompleteness of the “present” condition and hence a projection of some ideal scenario. However the ideal scenario is always a road under construction and it is never really reached, for any moment of our manifestation or existence is perceived as incomplete. Thus we keep running in circles, never really going anywhere without making any dent or progress towards consciousness. Secondly, even if some manipulated conditions are created, they do not remain the same and one is again forced to retain the manipulated parameters, which again causes stress! The point is that “rest” is not guaranteed in the state of manifestation. So why to retain and why to follow? Both approaches are not needed. What will come, will go and what will remain, will stay.

The third point is about the “mess” itself - which forces us to resolve it by continuously creating “situations”. The mess that we believe is our own vibrations that create perceptions. These vibrations are desires that lead to thoughts and then to bodies and then to attachments or ego. Thus what we have retained is our ego without letting it go.

Thus, for us then, the issue is about vibrations and what they create for us as reality. God is present in the “now”. I can become God – but I must see Him or become Him in this instant without any conditions. This takes practice because vibrations results in manifestation and that is what is needed to be dissolved – our egos.

Many things are required to make this happen. In thought – remembering God as the only One whose will creates the Universe. His will encompasses our will and nothing in this world happens without His presence. So trusting things as they happen and go becomes important. Since manifestation has temporary value (changing), it should be learnt where our value needs to be placed.  Thoughts create bondage with perception and reality – so what we think, we become. Hence to dissolve thought is important. At least the thoughts that contain goodness for the sake of goodness (beyond any motive) should be generated – these make us God eventually. Acting non conditionally is important since to endorse separation is to invite fear, dilemma and contradictions – these are apparent creations of the mind. The mind is everything. The mind exists (as vibrations eternally). The mind requires training to transform into God - vibrations.     

This brings another vibration into forefront nowadays – anxiety. Some of the things that contribute to heighten this feeling are – faster pace of life, fragmentation of experiences, loss of focus, non clarity about our meaning in life, fragmentation of self and running after desires. The root cause of this is ego or attachment to survival and the compulsion to make life “perfect”. This compulsion is from fear and that is from desire, which again is from mind-body vibration. As said before, the answer to peace does not lie in controlling any manifested situations at whatever pace they are, in whichever context of space and time. The approach is to silence the mind and to realize the One.

I have started to think that slow and steady and focused approach regardless of whatever others may think, is highly important in life. I may not control life and neither any pressure thereof. But the control is in imagination – what I decide to believe and trust and this should be independent of anything. Situation is not me neither the mind nor the body. I simply exist as the One. Manifestation is a mere illusion – I am consciousness. Any situation can be trusted as a perfect situation “to exist”. Then what becomes of progress? Progress gets understood as a philosophical awakening and realization of the soul, that bliss is unconditional to any imagination and bliss exists in the “now”.

Of course not all of this happens overnight. Even though these thoughts appear, they are to be retained, practiced and focused and made a part of our core – till then there are distractions of the mind. We may falter one day, may get hurt, may experience pain, but the trust of God should not diminish, since He is the only reality and not us.

Hari Om.

280422: Shree

Relax. Things always happen for good. No justification, no articulation, no discussion, and no purpose – everything is beyond. A thing or experience can exist as context (conditional) or it can be said to take one Beyond. Hence context has a promise of transcendence. Or context is an expression of transcendence when viewed from the lens of vibrations or motion or manifestation or any condition. Fundamentally, consciousness is and being is and non motion is and presence is and motion (as a state of existence) is. We all are constructs and if one does not know this or realize this, then there is confusion and non clarity of the purpose of thought. Thought as vibration is real to us and it makes up all manifestation. Potential of consciousness is a billion combinations by which perception and bodies or forms come into formation and change. For us currently, existence is understood as something that is perceived by the senses, something that can be seen – (name and form). What is perceived should have a form and what has a form will definitely be perceived – both of these do not exist independently perhaps.  Our talk and debate of forms exists only in this state.

However, in the journey of philosophy, as one gets introverted, one starts to perceive or sense the presence of just vibrations finally reaching the gateway to consciousness. Having reached there with each transformation, one “becomes” consciousness - a state that is beyond perception and form and hence beyond any change or space and time. Therefore it is not so easy to become such a state.

When one considers manifestation – that too is a state which can change or dissolve. Consciousness always is permanently established beyond everything. Hence It is.

Hari Om.

Shree: Scale

 

 

Shree: Scale

Scale is defined as something that gets a form and can be measured and constitutes some change and movement. Scale means manifestation and that can range from a particle to the cosmos. the point is that our tendency of thoughts are applicable even at the level of particle and at the level of cosmos. From the same thought, I can go deep down to vibrations or I can make a form of a cosmos.

thus the question is what is the "nature" of thought (or the fundamental feeling) that you are willing to bring forth? Because that is going to fill the entire range of manifestation from particle to cosmos. This also means that one is connected from the level of particle to cosmos - so our actions matter.

Becoming unconditional means to love and trust and accept and forgive. With this, all particles and cosmos will thereby "vibrate" as you express this feeling.

By saying the name of God, we express this tendency from particle to cosmos.

Hari Om.

Shree: What others say

 

260422: Shree: What others say

It is better to remain quiet. things happen, we do not miss anything, nothing is forgotten and everything can be forgiven. things come again and they require a response or an engagement. what is said in what manner and when and how need not hamper peace or bliss inherent in everything. what others say is immaterial to your self worth; what others say is incomplete; what others say does not mean an immediate response from one; what others say may not be relevant to the point; what others do may not be your priority to be concerned about; what others say may be coming from a very different tendency; what others say does not mean anything about any imagination about you; what others say is only apparent; what others say may not be acted upon by them; what others say is not your salvation or any promise; what others say is not any true measure or something to aspire for always; what others say does not convey anything about your life or your start point or an end point; what others say does not indicate anything about the future; what others say may not make your experience dated; what others say may not affect you or compel you to respond; what others say may not be taken authentically; what others say may not be true; what others say may only be a stress buster; what others say may not condition your response; what others say may not be altered or debated; what others say may not mean anything about your response; what others say may not mean a valid solution; what others say may not indicate a context; what others say may offer little clues; what others say may not mean the whole world ought to be doing the same thing; what others say - they say. They only say.

Shree: Being mute

 

 

260422: Shree: Being mute

Weird. Perhaps. But funny nevertheless. Funny that things may not relate and sometimes they do. Why they do relate and why they do not and how and where and when - these "connections" may seem funny. We take them serious and are annoyed. They can also be taken funnily. Drop the whole crap of honour or responsibility or commitment or response or anything of manifestation - it may be a crap that one uses for defending one's self. You have the whole of manifestation to defend you for eternity!!

And you need not have anything at all to exist as a being. Completely raw, empty and only a potential.

And then, one need not think or say anything at all! Restrict the urge to think or respond and only observe - it will look funny (about yourself too). A horror movie looks real if you see and "hear" it - else it may appear a comedy if it is seen on mute. What can make manifestation "comedy" and therefore what does "mute" mean in this case?.....Mute means only seeing experiences as "movement" or "vibrations".

Thus "vibrations" PLUS "thought" = "experiences"

Hari Om.

Shree: Creation

 

260422: Shree: Creation

Make peace with yourself and do not let imagination of manifestation dictate how fast you should live, what you ought to be doing, the guilt, the control, the expectation, the compulsion and so on.

i think this is a very important approach to living. Many things happen despite our response and whatever we expect - the entire imagination or assumption of "I" is only that - imagination and hence subject to change and movement. manifestation has only  temporary value (change and construct and vibration) and hence our thoughts change every moment and depending on that reality gets created and perceived - both things happening at the same time. There is no cause and effect here - something resulting in something else - it is our choice or the choice can be renounced. I expect myself in certain way and hence there are causes and effects. There is "I" and then there is the world - both intrinsically linked.

In the morning I am quiet and i feel that this is a best state to be in...as the day proceeds, thoughts change and then i respond in a different way. If i believe in "cause" then i will use the word "depending" on "something" thoughts change. However, the existence of manifestation or creation rests on movement (or change) and hence it is not steady; is always in a circle having no absolute start or absolute end point; and hence it is an illusion based on a construct of perception or vibration. Yet why does this phenomenon exist cannot (and need not) be answered - it can also be seen as a magical quality of existence - something beyond logic and something that is inspirational and contained in the presence of consciousness.

I fear about my own impermanence and know that whatever effort I take, things turn out in some different way beyond my imagination. And then I expect control and accuracy and prediction - this causes stress. Why expect this? Are we so absolute as entities? Are we the mind and the body? Or are we beyond these constructs or formations of mind/body/movement? So is all this only relative/ apparent/ illusion/ creation/ intent? And in this creation, perception takes place....In this "apparentness" of vibrations of forces, we have forms. Forms erupt and they change and dissolve. This "action" of creation takes place. This is "action" (again from our stand point) and if we realize that we are the soul, then action may mean something of going beyond and being unconditional. Why to condition anything or even our responses or to plan or argue or defend? Does manifestation  assist us in reducing all the harping and the control we set out to implement?

Existence is potential. It is being. It is of possibilities . Hence there is a place of doubt and dilemma since there is the presence of potential. there is a place for movement again, since there is potential, since Silence exists. Silence is "potential" and NOT nothingness.

Secondly remembering is also a dimension of ego. We remember the property of manifestation and hence we keep evaluating, competing, judging, clinging, attaching and so on. manifestation means all forces from Satvik to Rajas to Tamas. This is also an assumption or a construct. There is no other presence than God, who is the only permanent existence, blissful, timeless and formless - beyond everything and that creates all. We do not die or become born. We are always there - beyond everything. Things happen and let them. It is not "I" who is responsible. I always exist. All things are by God and let us thank God for existence and for anything that continues to happen. This is conveying gratitude.

This  thought of only pure being needs to be realized. Realization is existence and a state of reality. Thus, say the name of God and everything that it implies.

Hari Om.

Shree: I don’t know

 

Shree: I don’t know

Such a nice feeling that we do not know anything! One may keep cribbing that everything needs to be perfect and what not and everything can be predicted and everything can be too fast. Time I am not and neither am I any space that should dawn some character. I am manifested from consciousness. And consciousness exists irrespective of anything.

Why do we pressure ourselves so much is a funny situation and annoying as well. And no one can stop me from saying things what occur to me. Of course the imagination of manifestation is also apparent and not that absolute. Experience of consciousness is important and anything else is just creation or imagination or vibration. We become or take a form of reality. It is upto us as to what do we wish to become. The issue of manifestation is that it is based on conditions (set by vibrations). WE call those as desires, incompleteness, urges, compulsions, expectations, responsibilities, guilt, competition, aggression and so on. There is a place for vibration and manifestation or creation.

I won’t oppose creation since it is important to manifest. However to cling to creation is to be transcended and to reach back to consciousness. Overall, all things happen for good and it is always the will of God. We know there is God and that is our capacity to become the One. Things happen when they have to; we get what we have to; we say when it is to be said. It does not matter what we say or do or know at what time and where and how - we can still become peaceful and unconditional. Pace of knowing is not important and neither multitasking is. Nothing ought to be rejected or to be embraced. No reaction is intended – only delight.

It would be very funny and annoying for people to know that nothing really ought to be done but sitting still is required. What matters if things go away? Something takes the place of things gone! If there is evening, then there comes a day and after that, we also have night! So if we are young, we become old and if we have strength we become weak and so on. If we are born, we will die eventually, so what is the big deal in all this?

The problem is of preferring a situation – that drags us in cycles of birth and death. Give up preferences and only act out of pure trust and concentration. That is the only reality expected.

Hari Om.

Shree: Always present

 

240422: Shree: Always present

God is always there. The state of Silence, absoluteness, non movement is always there – this is a trigger for all states of movement or vibration and perception. Form is apparent – it is not real; it changes; it has a property for some time and then it transforms. This is called “vibration” in the medium of consciousness to create force and form (to keep on creating something). Consciousness, force and form is one and the same, except these appear different based on what signals one perceives or catches and generates. We currently are conditional, define a purpose, expect something, worry about the fruits of action and hence see forms. We are creating situations and forms by the desires that erupt within us.

The idea is to become desireless. This is achieved by being unconditional and focusing only on the process and making the mind steady.

God is always there. Think of Him, say Him, act for Him, give for Him and become Him. Make His presence real. Mind can make anything possible. Mind itself is a reality and hence by thinking about Him, one can become Him. God is the focus. Say the name of God and become unconditional.

Situations are not of manifestation’s making. They come and they change and they happen. Most people are unaware of what seems to be happening as a situation and what does space and time mean and hence with a deep sense of desire and fear they respond. How come external situation dictate what we ought to do? These change and so do we, so why be concerned about survival? This is maya. All perceptions and constructs caused by mind and body that compel our responses based on space and time are called “maya”. Maya is a construct or an illusion and this is created by the state of our mind and the desires we create. It is not known why such a situation should occur and neither is it required to find an answer. We only know where we stand as a phenomenon. Since we DO NOT know the answer in absolute sense, the phenomenon of manifestation is required to be ACCEPTED AS IT IS. The basis of existence is TRUST.

By acceptance, we transcend and come to consciousness. Accept whatever comes your way. Give irrespective of whatever the situation. Space, time and relationships do not define you. Be silent, observant, thankful for everything that happens since it is only God who is present as a reality.

Hari Om.

Shree: visibility

 

230422: Shree: visibility

Things or visibility do not exist by themselves – they are brought to existence as a construct of our mind (reality). Hence if we exist, so will other things, else there is no force or form or vibration existing “out there” (independent of us!).  I think, so there is perception and a situation and events and people and their tendencies and so forth. I give weightage to the existence of forms (a state of vibrations) and hence I “see” them. Many things are included in this observation – I; intent; vibrations; perception; existence; mind and body; separation; fear; doubt; dilemma; urge; time; life-death. The basis of all these variables begins with “I”. If we dig deeper and decode what is “I” then one will reach consciousness beyond vibrations. Vibrations are so subtle that it takes generations or lifetimes to become subtle enough to see them. The strength does not lie in moving mountains, but in dissolving the existence of mountains! This is the strength of perception.

The process of reaching consciousness can also be undertaken by being unconditional and by focusing or alignment or by trust or by taking the name of God.

Hari Om.

Shree: Less of talk

 

220422: Shree: Less of talk

Consciousness is the first line of existence  - absolute and beyond everything. Its presence "creates" manifestation or reality. Reality is either unconditional and non manifested or invisible or subtle; or it is visible, conditional and manifested. Anything as existence has a combination and link of invisible and visible. the triggers that we feel are from invisible presence that propel us to act and construct a reality - so we think, we analyze, we plan, we do or we participate and the process continues. There is "we", which means visible signals of vibrations (that appear as "forms") are seen and responded to. We are there as forms of manifestation and hence there is a world of visible motion. If we dissolve, there is no place for motion. Dissolving is not death - but a state of existence of non motion or the absolute One.

Hence all manifestations reveal signals depending on what we wish to catch - they may appear as objects or thoughts or tendencies or patterns or consciousness - all of this depends on our nature of mind. They may appear as "values" or perceiving absolute reality and our connect with It. Values are beyond you and me and hence they are required to be practiced so we expand and become God. The same form (or visible vibration) can be perceived based on intangible values and consciousness. Form is finite, immediate and changing, whereas values and consciousness is infinite in space and time and hence eternal and constant. Our conditions create attachments, boundaries, egos and finite perception of mind and body - which are bound to change with time. Transcending these takes one beyond these finite apparent boundaries.

Since we are of consciousness, we create and perceive reality. this tendency is inherited from consciousness. Nothing is forgotten and we can choose to become whatever we think or focus our attention on. Body is also becoming (as a type of vibration) and God is also becoming beyond everything. This means that the basic vibration develops into a thought and then mind and then body. Thus, by controlling the basic vibration, perception can be appropriately constructed or reality can be constructed accordingly. Thus, we need to remember and talk about God - this is vibration that will create the right perspective subsequently.

How do we become connected to manifestation? We are at the edge of manifestation and consciousness - we can go either ways. Vibration is the start point of forming a reality. I vibrate, I think, there is I and there are forms. Whatever I think or imagine becomes true. Whatever I think results in reality. Whatever thoughts occur make a reality. whatever vibrations occur, generate thoughts and these generate mind and body and perception. Thus the sequence is from consciousness to vibration to thoughts to body - as states of existences. The more I think, I remain attached and feel compelled to talk and act and hence become verbose, defend, get angry and so on.

Hence name of God creates imagination of transcendence and forgiveness and acceptance and boundlessness and patterns. This leads to less of talking through words, then less of thinking and less of vibrations finally no thought at all is required to be generated. There remains very little need to define or defend anything. The mind becomes empty and does not get created. Thus imagination of reality changes and if there is no vibration then there is no manifestation or situation or anything. Being remains.

Hari Om.

 

Shree: Beautiful me.

 

210422: Shree: Beautiful me.

 

I am concerned with thoughts dealing with feelings, hurt, culture, social, psychological, empathetic and so on. These thoughts I generate or make them real. Why such tendency is something I need not doubt to generate low self esteem about myself and I need to only understand what such thoughts offer as an imagination. It may happen that others may not be concerned about the same thoughts, they may not understand from what standpoint are these getting expressed and for me, these thoughts do not represent me completely but I am more than the sum of all these. Many of these thoughts are intangible or subtle and are misinterpreted when verbalized. I feel disturbed by not expressing well enough and then the point is – why should this be even expressed? Why should I subject myself for judgment in terms of what I say and how am I saying something? These thoughts are not always logical, not always required to be expressed, require some appropriate time factor to develop, maybe channelized to arrive at a decision and may suggest a pace of life that may be different from a fast paced life and may not even seem so called “practical” (an accusation that some people voice out). Also these thoughts I can continue to cherish and I need not suppress them for anything. These thoughts may offer something different from financial security but why should I worry or take blame or guilt? We are poems – only pure expressions and from this nothing else is intended apart from delight. Some people are hard and fast; others are intellectuals; others may appear body driven - each represents divinity. So accept yourself as you are so you can transcend what you are. Comparison is not expected and neither any evaluation nor proof. Each one of us is beautiful. When I write this, what am I expecting – nothing of course! Except for perhaps the delight of expression itself! And then each of us may perhaps express what God means, what empathy means, what delight means without having to discuss or debate on anything. Then that may become a universal human experience of talking the language of delight. We live for delight and not to compete or argue or discuss anything.

Hari Om.

Shree

 

200422: Shree

 

anything is acceptable - it is just a matter of accepting. we currently have accepted manifestation and hence see forms and changes. we doubt God, so we don't realize or see Him. we define a purpose and we fear and we insist on surviving and that is opposite to remain empty and only exist as pure being. existence as pure being does not require any conditions or props for support or any situations. situations are conditional and we are not as divine existence.

as long as situations are felt real, they will continue to affect us. learn to transcend or move beyond and realize the divinity within us - that apparently gets seen or felt as manifestation. it is not of ignoring manifestation - but of moving beyond or becoming the One.

Time is and it brings changes. To worry that we are incomplete makes us run and acquire and know many things. No matter what is done, how much is done, where it is done and when it is done - we still remain incomplete. The feeling of incompleteness is movement or perception. All things that we perceive result in incompleteness. Whatever is felt as vibration has an element of change, evaluation, variables, sequencing, expectation, fear, optimum speed and so on. And when such is the case, how can anything lead to a feeling of peace - if the basic variable (as motion) is changing? The result is that I am compelled to imagine a past or future that promises perfection and stability and i remain engaged in solving the riddle or making the picture complete. This can also lead to ego, defense and survival urges. As a phenomenon, we only are manifested and we perceive something. The idea is not of control but of being unconditional and going beyond any purpose. Any idea of compassion or empathy or love can be expressed beyond space and time fabric. Absolute love is unconditional and hence does not generate any vibration or attachment. Again, this is not a matter of proof or discussion or debate or talking. It needs to be realized. Thus nothing is required to be taken personally. things happen, words are said or interpreted, people respond, situations appear and so on. All is ok.

So give. There is no future or past as reality - we create it. Any current thought creates a reality and that is the only thing to be concerned about, nothing else. I may read or write or eat or sing or act or play or do anything  - it is for me to realize the truth.

Hari Om.

Shree: The One

190422: Shree: The One

Why to take Name of God? i ask this question to myself and part of the answer is logical and other is of habit and some other is of trust in His existence. as long as logic or intellect exists; as long as our attachment to manifestation exists, God is to be practiced in thought and action - regardless of what other compulsions may be playing in our minds. Many things happen at the layers of force and vibrations that we are not consciously aware but they make up our present state of mind and perception and attitude towards the world/ manifestation. The answers to manifestation are found within us - deep down - and they form the visible outside. Hence God's name cleans the inner world of vibrations or attachments and helps us realize what is existence or pure being.

Secondly, God's name and reality exists at all times, at all scales and in all forms and everywhere. It is present beyond space and time (and space-time are just His trigger of creation). If this is the case, then His name is the only medium that can make us aware of His presence beyond our regular compulsions of dealing with manifestation.

Thirdly, God's name and existence exists without any purpose since it is absolute, eternal, non changing and the One. Thus to take God's name is an indication and instruction to us to be unconditional and expand our mind. By manifesting we create a boundary around ourselves in terms of mind and body and we then keep protecting ourselves by this definition. Then we worry and defend to maintain this construct and keep running. This construct does not define us and we are beyond these manifestations. This is to be remembered and practiced and hence His name helps. By dissolving and going beyond us, we become the One. it is not required to know the universe for this - our own position is a start point to go beyond the same and hence His name is to be taken. It has an effect and it does change our perception.

God's name is to be taken so we become non judgmental and accept things as they are without evaluating them.

Hari Om.

Shree: Identifying with....

 

180422: Shree: Identifying with....

I am still no matter what changes happen and the change is not me - neither the vibrations nor manifestations. the idea of reading or writing or reviewing is to understand this truth of absolute existence or absolute state of perception that lies beyond everything and from where all things get created as a reality. then the purpose of all our actions is to make the invisible a reality for us. that is why i need to engage with action or creation of perception. nowadays i am tired of arguing or explaining or even reading anything because in the end if the point is only about discussing then where are we heading as a society or even as a matter of perception? anything can be spoken about and even articulated and argued and discussed - that does not reveal the truth neither does it assist in becoming the Truth. Thus i think that silence is required and even if one may feel the urge to say something one may choose to just observe without labelling anything. at any point of time, the urge is to keep doing something and say something and all these things do not necessarily mean incompleteness. Of course things are incomplete but by saying "everything under the sun", does not guarantee a complete feeling.

Saying is also a kind of introspection and reinforcement of certain perception. Thus by thinking of God, feeling God, acting for God and surrendering for God - we become God.

For all this to happen (materialize or to be created), God ought to be made the topmost priority. We often only think of bread but not God and that causes the difference between just being and living for a purpose.

I continue to do things to transcend or to endorse the ego. Ego is compulsion and a defense of survival. It requires effort to dissolve it and trust transcendence. Data or expansion of knowledge does not make things easy - more interdependence may be felt and more picture of incompleteness is seen and a changing material palette is felt. Knowing the world is not an answer to peace. Making the mind quiet is the answer and dissolving everything. It is not required to feel afraid. It is not required to identify with anything or any responsibility or any guilt. Identifying means to make things "visible" or "real" or to perceive them. thus identify with God means to think only of God.

Hari Om.

Shree: Inward Journey

 

170422: Shree

Sometimes I think why should I be engaged in philosophical discourse and reading and writing and acting accordingly – does it have a direct connect and so on. And why do I doubt things? What is a doubt? The answer takes time to be realized. It is a matter of trust – to acknowledge the presence of consciousness; to know what are we dealing with as a construct of reality and what is the idea of control and what seem to be vibrations, invisible existence and visible + changing existence and why are we so attached to visible manifestation? To involve oneself in such questions is to directly alter states of existences, despite whatever the urges or compulsions. In fact one of the output of philosophical experience is to loosen the grip (and hypnotism) of manifestation or imagination that is self created.

We generally wait to know the external data (a situation) to conceive a response. It is a top to down approach and an assumption that unless the entire situation is not known, the proposed response may not be accurate or perfect enough. Thus the definition of perfection depends on knowing all variables of the situation and then predicting the output of a response on these variables. This is a disastrous situation created by the mind, since manifestation is all interconnected and has no beginning and end – but a continuous cycles of causes and effects.

How can the mind (which is changing because of vibrations) know a changing situation to envision a response that is supposed to be static? And how can one expect situation to be known and why should our worth be dependent on this knowing? I may or may not a situation – I would always know a part of the truth – which is imagined. And I am also an incomplete being. So why be bothered about it? The assumption itself has severe limitations. It is as if saying that a child should cry or laugh at 9:05 am then take 10 steps for 5 minutes, then open a green book on page 11 and read 5 sentences, then eat an egg in 3 minutes, then sip water and then cry for 10 minutes and so on. Or to say that a tree should only grow 10 m tall and bend at 3 degrees and give 100 fruits in one year by consuming 100 gallons of water. This is how our behavior is towards existence – filled with expectations, predictions, evaluations, judgments and always engrossed in solving the riddle.

Madness to live in such a way, to keep running and to be so fast that one does not really know the signpost or the intent behind anything. There is no external solution to quieting the mind - if at all; the multitasking myth has made it more worse.

The approach is to go inward and let go off the pull of the senses or the compulsion of manifestation. One still exists despite letting go off our mind or vibrations. This is 100 percent true. And by letting go off vibrations what is realized is consciousness beyond all manifestations.

An inward approach can start from anything in any space and in any time and age. This means that the inward journey is one’s undertaking and is not related to external urges. Secondly, there is recognition of an internal world that takes one to consciousness – the outer form is manifestation. Since it does not depend on space and time, there need not be any reference of outside or a physical space and time structure – but of eternal forces of creations and what these mean. Hence the start of this journey is based on a decision or a tendency (and NOT by considering existing external situation). This maybe a grounded approach or a bottom to top approach. While starting from the bottom, the perception is different than the perception as it materializes on the top.

Perhaps therefore, there is a certain mystery to what poems, novels, music, art make you feel – they take you back into an inward journey. Similarly can be the impact of architecture, why not?

Shree: Creation

 

160422: Shree: Creation

People are concerned a lot many times about lot of things. Wisdom will reveal that behind everything there is Lord for all that manifests. Behind means the fundamental cause, the trigger, the property that leads to creation – it is either real or apparent but the phenomenon of manifestation is created! We call it situations or people or variety – but it is a state of consciousness that is called manifestation. Thus creation is understood as a property or a process or an idea or a product or a perception or a reality or existence! And with creation, comes intent, vibrations, forces, forms and attachment to it and the definition of reality and belief in it! By Jove! We ourselves are creators and the created! We ourselves are the subject and the object and we ourselves are the inside and outside! So we are the beginning and an end in ourselves like a closed circle thus becoming eternally in motion without any rest!

If the nature of creation is changed then all other factors upto the experience of reality will change. Thus consciousness is absolute existence having absolute potential for creation and is unconditional and beyond any constraints or vibrations.

Despite everything, it seems difficult or hard to comprehend this idea of existence and hence remain concerned about worth, evaluation, judgments, separations, identity, ego, mind and body. Come to think of it, it is a systematic process of becoming absolute and is a matter of practice. While practicing too, there is no purpose other than trust, surrendering and consistency in practice. One need not start with a “why to do this” and try to find answer and evaluate the progress of things. One need not form a “doubt” since it is like a banyan tree that will lead to a forest of trees with no respite. Therefore, what is doubt and why is it created and how is it entertained? What is desire, what is vibration and all these questions will lead one to consciousness, if one can transcend them, transcend ourselves, and transcend situations…

Shree: Giving back

 

160422: Shree: Giving back

A moment is a moment – never to return in the same way. Existence is continuous – currents as felt by the mind and each current being different. We think that we have a continuous character from birth to death and that is because we have chosen to focus on some primary experiences or vibrations and hence they make us perceive existence (our perception and responses etc.) in that manner. We focus on a few thoughts and that make our character. We attach ourselves to those and construct self esteem, identity, ego and that sort of thing. We define a purpose and try to get it. Thus we build a layer of defense against change or a screen to respond to change.

Then what does a human being represent? It represents a set of vibrations that build a human perception and makes us perceive reality or construct a reality as per the nature of our vibrations – mind and body. A human being is a type of vibration (a form of manifestation that starts with invisible and goes to forces and finally becomes visible). And then we remain bothered about survival, security, change and keep feeling insecure no matter what we do – from thoughts to feelings to actions to money to security responses. And the cycle continues and so does creation. This is entanglement and purpose is contained herein.

A day comes when we wake up to the question of what the hell am I doing and then we realize an entity beyond space and time, which has also made us. This entity is beyond our grasp but we can sense it if we focus our vibrations onto It. We then start to become the One by quieting the mind and going inward, deep into the recesses of the mind – back, back, till it all becomes silent. This is a journey that each one of us will embark eventually since it is the nature of our perception to seek answers.

There is another perspective to manifestation. Separation is not a problem (or the attachment or of “many”). It is a state of existence of consciousness. In fact nothing exists apart from consciousness. Manifestation is a state of existence (of thoughts and feelings) wherein I see a lot of different forms, I am separated and hence a lot of action is perceived at the same time, a lot of movement, a lot of visible energy – we call it dilemma, contradictions, tendencies, characters, varieties, noise, and so on. I being separated see the tail, then the leg, then the eye, sometimes the trunk, I make all these compartments but all is actually parts of consciousness.

The story of “many” is a learning to be done to come to the Truth of the One. Till then, many things are seen, things happen, we respond, we create responses to defend ourselves or to remain protected and we are compelled to do all of this. So do not compare and always know that things operate in manifestation and by nature represent incompleteness and change and hence are temporary. Also they represent a state of consciousness. Whatever happens is not personal and whatever I do, is not personal.

Thus whatever should be done, is supposed to be unconditional. We have that nature in us – to love despite anything. Let’s do it. Let go of everything – even yourself. Give it back to the Lord.

Hari Om.

Shree: Subset

 

140422: Shree: Subset

All is well eventually. As I think on these lines, one of the inquiries is what do we really control and secondly is there anything to be controlled in any way? Dilemmas and explanations venture us into the field of philosophy and the acknowledgment of Beyond or the One and by the nature of our existence, we perceive changes in a manner unique to the construct of our mind and body. Then we may go as far as to decode the mind - something as a vibration (maybe real or apparent based on our understanding) and then the process of making the Unknown as real begins.

This process, no matter how much linear it now sounds, is filled with confusion, despair, dilemma, hope – summarily a movement and evolution of the mind or evolution of perception to become the One. All struggles inch us closer to the One and the struggle won’t stop and neither it is to be expected.

Perception for us is the encounter or the existence and the impact of “many” and change and separation. And one may also have serious self doubt issues on the way. Most people want to brush aside the dilemma and self doubt, yet all this pain is leading us closer to the Truth of being Unconditional and loving irrespective of anything. To be conscious of this process is a learning in itself (it may eventually reduce the intensity and frequency of the pain).

Irrespective of anything means our personality or pattern or situations or relationships or decisions or knowing the facts or data or nature of change or existence itself. There is no need to be angry about anything, since we can become Unconditional. The greatest illusion is of thinking ourselves as being separate from the rest and there is ego, attachment, expectation, pain, pleasure, desire, running and so on. Desire can never be quenched by acting on it - it is an eternal creative phenomenon. What is required to not become attached to desire and to know that it is a subset of the One. Since it is a subset, it is not the Absolute Truth and hence it can be dissolved and all this change and fluctuations and urges do not create any dent on our existential reality of consciousness or the divinity that is everywhere. I may not know many things and I do not know the start or the end of anything. I do not know the origin of the world and why or how have I been here as a construct or a reality and where am I going and what is in store for me or what am I becoming (as tIme). But should that mean anything? Should that mean anything about worth? All of this state of mind does not mean that the existence of Divinity is not there or that there is any kind of a “stage” that should be reached to know the Unknown. In other words, the pace and purpose of life is immaterial to know one’s Divinity. What one already is, why should one doubt that or fight with that? The presence of Divinity, the trust on It and the connect with It is a state of mind that can be developed whenever and by any situation and under any point, since manifestation has got nothing to do with consciousness.

We are gifted with this ability – there are no two opinions about it and hence for us, we can become the One, although the process may seem confusing, exhausting, demanding or completely uncomforting. That we are already Divine and it is only a matter of remembering It is called भाव स्थिरावणे.

In our daily lives, things happen, people say something, I respond and so on. In all this, what is really happening here?! What is space and time and why these tendencies exist and how do I respond to them and so on. Space and time – I am made of that as one dimension and the other is consciousness beyond space and time. I am that.

Shree: Nature of Engagement

 

140422: Shree: Nature of Engagement

Good Morning Shree.

Some years ago, an article was written on the importance of the past in our lives; in the manner in which objects from the past were used; and the emotional anchor and so on.

The issue is about the nature of change. And what changes because of this phenomenon? At the core, as I understand, what changes is the nature of engagement of the phenomenon itself. Phenomenon (as far as manifestation is concerned) takes place within subject-object relationship. I am handling an object – so there is “I” and there is “object” and the two get interrelated. As space-time changes, “I” change and the meaning attributed to the object also changes (in effect the perception and the reality of the object changes too). Similarly when the “object” changes, I have to form new set of relationships with the object in terms of feeling it, handling it, setting it to purpose, maintaining it and so on and the emotions with it get to be formed subsequently.

Thus, “past” is a set of relationships with all objects (and environment) and our actions formed within the bracket of time imagined as “past”. This had set a relationship with the environment forming certain anchors/ emotions/ values/ actions and expressions.

This “past” can be replaced by “present” and also by “future” and what we are dealing with is the whole set of relationships (creating imagination or a sense of reality or the nature of engagement with existence and our place in manifestation).

When one talks about “loss of emotional anchor” or “disconnection” isn’t one implying the above nature of engagement? And in this relationship everything from livelihood to perception to action comes into play. Much is at stake when one considers security or materials or rate of change or technology or imagination or relationships or situations.

Thus while trying to imagine and embrace “change”, one is required to consider the nature of engagement that will be created therefore. And more than this, any change should assist one to touch consciousness (i.e. assist him/her in transcending in any situation). Thus “change” should be a gateway to consciousness. Change is apparent, consciousness is the only Absolute.

If one sees engagement in this manner, then perhaps one is talking of fundamental values and going beyond judgments and evaluations and one’s actions are then becoming timeless.

It is not the “AI” which is problematic but it has not yet offered access to consciousness – in the manner in which it has been deployed (or related or imagined) by our minds. The moment it offers access (something which we ourselves need to invent), only then we can say that “AI” and ourselves have matured to use it in the most fundamental way as is required.

Continuing this further, the word “object” can be extended to environment or architecture (as an idea) or relationships with people or systems (such as hand done or machine made or fast or slow).

I have a problem with the manner in which situation, systems, people in Developed Nations are perceived and engaged with. The crux of imagination formed in those regions is one of “fragmentation” and extreme aloofness and disconnect and there are several factors acting linearly and simultaneously to generate the feeling of total disconnect and isolation, which can be elaborated but I do not wish to do so because to even elaborate on these factors is to inflict hurt on oneself. Of course this is just one perspective – there maybe people who fully endorse that idea of Developed Nations.

On the contrary, the acknowledgment of consciousness and its presence as a sacred dimension in manifestation in our environment and all related processes is what may be a common factor in India’s history. Another emphasis in our environment is of “pattern” – spiral to be precise. Pattern of seasons, then agriculture, then history, then human relationships, then activities and so on. Pattern is beyond space and time and is beyond you or me and hence respecting the pattern (maybe an expression of consciousness) becomes important. Is that deliberate or incidental realization – is a difficult question to answer and life itself is a combination of deliberate act and spontaneous creativity, thus the notion of a “start” itself has limitations and even quite dangerous to consider. Life exists and hence there is a place of ambiguity and interpretation.

The presence of consciousness and of patterns is eternal but we need to access it. Sometimes “situations” help; our conditioning helps; environment helps; time helps; culture helps; geography helps. So the point is (if at all there should be) that where will you get this access – in what situations or imaginations? Is it here?

Another point to be remembered that is referred in philosophy – अनुसंधान (continuous connect and remembrance of consciousness as a real dimension of life through our imagination, thoughts, actions). If one considers highest quality of human responses in India – then the above statement appears true in all fields of art and architecture from the beginning of Time. This effort and the need to stay connected with consciousness has vitally been reinforced in India. But past profound precedents in engagement do not guarantee present nature of engagement – superfluous as they seem. Thus, the effort needs to be continued in all times and in all spaces.

Hari Om.

Shree: Expression

 

130422: Shree: Expression

arguments are inevitable. words and thoughts are indication of the manner in which consciousness takes a unique form of perception (mind and body - as vibrations) and the impact of vibration is "separation" or construct of ego or insecurity and the response to that is compulsion to attach to manifestation.  this is a given. what we are feeling currently is a situation that is apparent and changing.

anything can be debated  - also the truth. however what can be debated is actually NOT the truth since thoughts and words work only in a manifested world. Truth lies beyond perception and hence cannot be expressed - one has to become the Truth and when one comes back to the manifested world, there are thoughts and words. I guess thoughts and words are for the "other" or actually every form of expression has a dimension of the other. We are in a manifested world, so we WANT to express and what keeps on getting conceived in the "mind" (which anyway will because of vibrations) comes out as a form of expression. So manifestation is an expression of the One. We take it real and hence we get attached and affected by this expression, in which, we too play our part. Thus we construct intent, ego, urge, desire and we wish to somehow fulfill it. Note that we are always constructing something; imagining something and hence action on imagination is a given and inevitable part. What gets formed within has to be dug out and brought out. What is brought out makes the inside "empty" which is again filled with something and the process continuous till the inside is not required to be filled again by vibrations (i.e. vibrations do not erupt and hence there is no need to express anything and one then becomes steady, unconditional, unattached, blissful and the One).

Hari Om.

120422:Shree

Existence is everything – and in its purest form of realization, there need not be any motive or purpose or expectation or anger or any of those emotions that make us feel attached to manifestation. I can keep saying things about God and I can keep writing for myself – all is fine – whatever constructs or imaginations I wish to create for myself. I itself is an imagination (an illusion or apparent existence or a changing existence or an interdependent existence) and whatever I perceive is a state of vibration that is created in consciousness. I can dissolve this; I can merge with Absolute consciousness and I can transcend and become unconditional and only pure potential.

I exist and I am eternal. I have no attachments or expectations or issues of incompleteness or of blame or of competition or of security. I only am, going in a particular way, having doubts, having dilemmas, discovering, learning, being incomplete, handling things, being messy, knowing half the truth YET being ok with the whole thing. I am not answerable or responsible for cleaning the mess of any sort and I just do or engage with things with no returns. I do not wish to define any purpose of achievement or security and the only thing an action is done because it is done.

In this way, one is hoping that the attachment lessens and any construct dissolves. Things are organic and what, how, where, when and why things occur is best considered as a message from God. I am not proving anything and I am not saying anything and I am not thinking for any purpose of proof or survival. People may find this approach ridiculous, but that’s ok – to each his own. This approach again will generate different terrains which is also ok. Why is this expectation even warranted? Not required. Enjoy, see the world, help, give, be kind, be compassionate and be blissful.

 

Hari Om.

Shree: Test

 

110422: Shree: Test

Today I was giving a psychological test. The questions revealed that much of our time is engaged in some kind of a self talk – that decides our perception of reality. The self talk maybe rational or irrational or situational or from the past or something about the imagination of future.  

We are presented with this self talk. The issue is to be unconditional and any aspect of space or time does not (or need not) define what we are (it is not absolute); and to keep trying and to know which things are in our control and which may not be and it is perfectly ok to be ambiguous and gray about existential clarity. Well, by default, perception is incomplete and hence there is bound to be a feeling of impermanence and a construct of reality which is forever changing and which will compel one to question things again and again, despite how much ever it might have been thought over before. That is all ok and is not a cause to feel jittery about anything.

Secondly it also reveals that we have our internal world of thoughts that may be perceived in a very different manner by others based on our actions. I may be introverted but because I may be fluent in expressing my thoughts to anyone, others may think that I am highly expressive and talkative and extroverted fellow. Thus truth is not so obvious and that is the beauty of life – nothing is straight and obvious on the face of it. This also means that what I consider myself is truer than what others may say anything about it – so we create our own truth and hence we can become our best friends or worst enemies.  Thus it is always better to accept the self authentically to what one is and that becomes a more comfortable situation than anything else in the world – even more important than security or money or any material pursuit. To be comfortable with oneself is to accept one with all feelings, thoughts, aspirations, fears and to accept that it is all ok to be in this manner. Essentially it is to be non judgmental and loving to oneself and that is more important than anything else in the world. I do not care if I have money or what manifestation demands from me or how should I behave. This is a ridiculous undertaking. What I do care is to become comfortable for myself and that will mean feelings, analysis, aspirations, idea of competition, pace of life, accepting the unknown, accepting ideas of life and so on.

I am not a great person – I am average – as a human being. I am ok with not knowing many things and not competing enough and taking time to say things and probably being confused at times and knowing dilemmas. That is me. And what I am has got nothing to do with the responsibility of cleaning the mess of the world and neither does it mean that it is expected of me to be in a particular way. In any case, all has come from God; all is God and I am only a wave.

Hari Om.

 

Shree: Choice

 

100422: Shree: Choice

There is a reality of choice. One is free to choose but not the consequences that result thereof. Many things are ingrained here. That the phenomenon of motion is apparent (or a construct) and hence the choice appears therein. However, since it is apparent, the control of events lies with the Invisible or The One and not by the “waves”. Hence the fruits of our actions are something we cannot and need not predict but only accept with gratitude (and not with a grudge).

We wish for something, if it materializes the way we had imagined, then it is good. If it does not, then that too is God’s will. And if materializes in an unexpected way, then that is a lesson to learn. All this means that we are dealing (I hate this word “dealing”) with consciousness – a medium that manifests into something that we are required to perceive and face. No one knows this behavior of visible manifestation; no one knows this “form”; no one knows the complete picture and one needs to embrace and keep moving ahead. This is interesting…

Interesting that we are faced with this peculiar situation to know the truth whereas the truth is invisible – beyond our ordinary grasp! Secondly, we do have this capacity to become the truth and bring the truth to existence!

Therein lies the choice of becoming the Truth or something else! Every instant is like a “door” to be opened – what lies beyond is only anybody’s guess. Whatever comes our way when the door opens, one has to respond and that response leads to other avenues and other doors…this goes on till one realizes that he himself is creating the avenues and the doors and all of them are encircling Him (the One). So why be worried about the journey and the door? Is there anything to control or to expect? What comes will come and what stays will stay and what goes will go – the basic existence of Bliss need not be dependent on this motion.

Hari Om.

 

Shree: I am

 

100422: Shree: I am

Things happen for good always. Be unconditional. Know and accept the presence of silence or invisible that makes forces and forms appear. All is a dream that is getting erected by consciousness; else there is no movement or intent. Why things exist? “Existence” is to become a state of reality – giving it certain character and perceiving that state of existence. I perceive all things by senses; by breath; by brain; by mind and body (effectively called “vibrations”). There is no I here – it is a construct born from consciousness; the manner in which perception gets built - the invisible taking a form of visible. All manifestation is therefore an output of Divine presence. If I see a colour or texture or smell or a form, it is a vibration in consciousness that I believe to be true and hence it becomes true to me. In fact “me” and “situation” are one and the same – and only an imagination.

In this entire journey, things turn out the way they eventually do (regardless of anything one may think or do or say or respond) and we need to embrace them without any judgments or evaluations or expectations or resistance. Things are waves, which come and go and not one wave is real or permanent to stay and hence there is no reason to respond to these waves. This means that any incident no matter how personal it may appear, will fade away and need not be a definer for our character or self worth or our definition of life. This can make our approach to living purely focused on process and unconditional engagement, without a hint of any expectation. Every kind of incident from fast to slow to big to tall to smooth to pain to dull to repetition to novelty to juicy to excitement to introspection will occur. To hope for something else is same as ego or defining a purpose or laying conditions. If everything is Divine, then why expect any modification and purpose in this Divine play? Thus, in philosophical terms, purpose to love or feel or becoming compassionate need not depend on anything – it should exist without any supports – Love should become unconditional.

Few people may realize that just as thoughts occur regardless of whatever situation maybe perceived (whether one is in full action or is silent), it is in our hands to generate thoughts that make us tranquil regardless of situation. The word “regardless” is important since it suggests a relationship of imagination to situations and these two are not independent. Existence is by default, concentration is real and so is imagination that is generated and hence the reality one endorses.

Tomorrow or yesterday is only an imagination – we make them “real” by thinking or clinging to them. In the same way, “today” is real because of our imagination of the same, else there is no present! This means there can be something else than our perception and this something else is consciousness that knows no space or time and is always beyond manifestation. One can give all possible explanations to all possible expressions to indicate the conversion or apparentness of manifestation from consciousness; but fundamentally one has to realize consciousness.

There are many things that make the invisible visible. But the point is how much can one stretch one’s analysis to know the process? Since each person has uniquely made the invisible visible! Thus the presence of consciousness has to be felt and it is a process of becoming the One.

I am and the rest is only a dream. I am bliss.

Hari Om.

Shree: Intent

 

060422: Shree: Intent

Consciousness can be said to contain or construct any kind of intent leading to any kind of a form! Intent in other words is equivalent to space-time dimension. The moment space-time gets created or perceived, we are saying that intent is expressing itself and trying to make itself visible or perceivable. This intent is also called vibrations that then lead to forces and then to matter  - all but different states of or intensities or characters of vibrations. Hence all that we see is not independent or absolute but our own creation. We have also created our own constructs and hence have created a relationship with this world of forms or situations. Behind all of us, lies the One who is the fundamental creator of everything and under Whose idea the whole world "works".  Thus God works unconditionally and keeps creating the world. Why is not a question to be asked as it is beyond the scope of intellect. Existence does not require any perception or justification to validate. The mistake that people assume is that they exist so they perceive. I would say  that they have chosen to exist and therefore perceive in a particular way or the particular way of perception has led them to exist in a particular form of human being.  What has come first - perception or the form of human being? I would say perception always existed. Consciousness also perceives. Since Consciousness only exists, perception is there always. Except depending on how perception occurs, manifestation gets created.

In its purest for, Consciousness = absolute Existence = unconditional Existence = Absolute Bliss = Absolute perception (Existing without any space or time or causations and hence infinite).

In our worldly affairs, it is mysterious to doubt why people represent and continue to hang on and express certain tendencies. There is no why here. And there is no why for any situation or an event or for any phenomenon. The more one thinks of finding reason, one discovers more variables in the equation and the search appears unending. This means that the solution to address incompleteness is not tangibly possible and the solution to fear is also not so obvious. In any position of my current existence (whatever form I have taken), i will continue to perceive in human ways which means impermanence.  This need not be of any worry or should not cause any fear.  There are instances where people seem to act in acceptable ways but their internal world is of turmoil and vice versa. All this means that the only action that is appropriate is the one that generates certain or appropriate nature of existence (as a  feeling). External actions is only a construct and a process to internalize and realize the truth. The entire process is of revelation of the Absolute Truth.

 

Hari Om.

 

Shree

050422: Shree

For any intent or meaning of existence to "exist" it has to be expressed or be born as vibration in consciousness (referred poetically as a dream by God). Dream also means "vritti" or tendency or "vibration".  We are born and we make forms visible by these vrittis. Once in the mode of vibration, it becomes a force and then form  - all indicating a continuous connect from consciousness to form. In other words, the invisible (beyond the comprehensions of space and time or our senses)  becomes visible in many forms because of what we imagine. The forms are perceived as "many" but there is only One behind every manifestation or force or vibration or intent or meaning.

Thus the medium of consciousness helps the intent to materialize or manifest into a changing and interdependent form. No form or motion can exist separately or unconnected with consciousness. Consciousness is a state of existence - even beyond space and time. It only is. The illusion of separation is created by intent and motion and hence all "objects" appear distinct or as a "given" and that we are required to respond or reciprocate some situations that exist  outside us.

This binary is self created and it can also be dissolved. From distinct objects to interrelationships to self creation to self realization - are steps of evolution of perception. All these steps are real (or states of existences) and one step has the seed of the other (hence can be converted to that state) till the final step is of absolute bliss and no motion. This means that the intent does not have any expression or a container of form - both dissolve into Nothingness or Consciousness.

Hari Om.
