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.

Hari Om.
