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.
