220622: Shree: Apple and Orange

Which thought grips you and what kind of cycle does it generate? One is faced with a question and choice each day that starts an action. this is important - how do you consider the question and where it leads you. Motion that we sense is a question itself and an urge to respond to it. it is the outward pull. the pull is by various conditional factors which we imagine or have constructed through space and time. this can be outgrown if effort is taken. we are not conditional, to begin with and this has to be realized. we exist and we are blissful, we are God and we are not the mind and definitely not the body. why are we so afraid of relationships, or demands or expectations or anything else? are these pulls to be taken seriously? why do these pulls get generated?

i create a dilemma. this may continue to give some kind of situation. Am i supposed to be guilty of this that dilemma persists and cannot be resolved and i face contradictions at every corner? This is the cycle that is generated. Well, the fact is that all tendencies originate from God and the first task is to keep accepting any tendency without judging it.... it will throw some perception or generate thoughts and compel one to respond. this is the nature of tendency or vibration. in case a decision is taken to outgrow the tendency (which generates the world of forms) then tendency needs to become steady and dissolve into absolute existence of consciousness.

tendencies are not bad  - any tendency for that matter. vibrations make forces and then forms and they are to be only seen with detachment and love. Of course a difficult journey as we create egos and that locks vibrations into certain ideas. So the improvement is expected in the self rather than expecting the world to change for you - which in any case was a snobbish idea.  

secondly things happen for good - they may be tangible or intangible but effectively it is only the One. how they align to manifest into something is also quite mysterious and this alignment also needs to be accepted with gratitude.

finally, nobody is born to answer any questions of manifestation! being born and death are illusions of movement which we take it very seriously and this is again to be outgrown. effort is important although it may seem to take an unlimited amount of time to realize!

With every transformation, the nature of space AND time will become different so what that change means cannot be visualized beforehand and cannot be compared with present state - much like comparing apple with orange. The two things - apple and orange are real with respect to the prevalent state of mind but none of the two things are absolute. This means that apple can change into orange and vice versa. The apple's identity is related or dependent on orange and the apple may not be even aware of orange's existence! Secondly apple sees the world in its perspective. So the apple represents the world in one form of perception that is unique to it. The same scenario is about orange whose sense of space and time maybe way different and seem to be unrelated to apple's! BUT, they can interchange and that is to be realized as a capacity of human being - to change into God. All forms and forces are interchangeable and interdependent and one form of existence may not even be aware of any other form of existence - just as we are not aware of God's presence DOES NOT mean He is absent!

Thus acknowledgement of this mystery is the first step to transform into God. Best of luck!
