280622: Shree: Devotion

Existence is. How things happen in the world of motion is about vibration, its potentials to change and dependence and separation as its effects on the mind. Mind exists as a state of motion - vibrations and thoughts – perception and the world of forces and forms – responses – separation and fear. Thus what is true is constructed by the mind. Mind is a phenomenon of existence which is already there but can be perceived by many ways – it being the property of the medium of existence. Thus whatever we see is purely Divine and represents the One. By being unconditional, loving, focusing, the properties of absolute existence are inherited – the mind being transformed into One – and Divinity established. Mind has the capacity to become so. The pulls that are perceived and the forms that are seen are made by the mind itself. The mind requires training to become God. For this to happen, it should realize that it has those properties and can become so if practiced.

Obviously in the world of motion the question will be where and how to begin? And the questions around undertaking this journey will be about resolving dilemma, self doubts, explorations and trust. In all this, consistency of approach beyond any doubt is a must and perhaps that is what is meant by focusing or concentrating – vanishing self doubts and just keep doing – we also call that as “devotion”. Thus devotion, if decoded, may include dimensions of focus, concentration, patience, trust, love, practice, consistency, gratitude, acceptance, optimism, forgiveness.

With space and time, the principle of devotion should manifest in different ways. So what is manifestation? One way to look at manifestation or the world of motion and forms is to become the trigger or the intent that creates forms. Devotion is that trigger or that intent. People are intents and they also work with intents. It is not a matter of money or security or home or relationships that one desires – it is a matter of intent with which the entire life will revolve around and will get perceived – as if the forms or space and time were immaterial – what is “material” is only the intent.

I think that one need not feel guilty that how much time did this concept get realized and how much more time will it take to actualize the same? All is progress. In what way was perception seen, did pulls take us to make decisions, their cycles, transformations, unpredictability, plans, analysis – all this is required and all this needs to be aligned with a transformative focus – and all this needs to finally melt into the One. This becomes a matter of discovering the One amidst the fragmented forms that one perceives. The fragmentation was a state of mind and not of One. The fragmented mind therefore collects itself, aligns and sees God. God is to become and to be realized – it is the only Absolute Truth.
