Shree: Meditation

Today when I was sitting quietly - there were some thoughts which came and went. I think that the training to be given to the mind is to ‘let” thoughts just pass without stopping them or judging them or asking any why or any other questions or even what was the trigger. This may lead to saying that thoughts need not affect me or trigger any response from me. And if they do not trigger any response then eventually they many not even get generated! Perhaps the trigger is vibration of some kind (which is coming from consciousness) and if vibrations do not trigger any response, their strength, validity to convert into thoughts and action will diminish and get dissolved. This is the training required for the mind. It will then be seen that thoughts result in perception/ imagination and what we call as compulsive desires and urges to act. Thoughts are some form of vibrations that lead to perception of life. They are “not” who we are, which means that thoughts are a phenomena occurring in the medium of consciousness and need not be taken personally, as if they are required to be entertained or controlled or done something with them. They are very much neutral.

Extending this observation, we imagine and continue this phenomenon of manifestation unrelentingly and thinking continuously about past, present, future, situations, myself, achievements, constructs, guilt, feelings, words, places, time, age, body, mind, climate, action, production, life, death and so on. It is all in circles and thinking about “thoughts” does not guarantee an end point or a start point! This means that thoughts are not required to be controlled or rectified “out of fear or ego”. And when this decoupling occurs, there may be peace for us eternally. It is up to me when to think, what to think, how to think, where to think, why to think. I am above thoughts; above vibrations. I am pure inspiration. I am born, so I can think (it is not compulsory to do so)!

Philosophically then if vibrations are phenomena, we are not the trigger and we need not own anything neither suppress anything nor make any statement of meaning of life! If thoughts are not me, then anything they create is not me! I only am without any adjective or verb. For whatever worth it is – existence is bliss!
