Shree: Tired of framing a question.

 

180622: Shree: Tired of framing a question.

Each moment pulls me into hopeless insistence of achieving something – going there, doing this, reading that, eating that, learning this, meeting this and so on. It is like a monkey catching hold of a log of fire and setting everything ablaze!

I think the real challenge in today’s times is speed and rate of change. What to analyze is the first question, since my speed of analysis is not matching the rate of change and whatever can be inferred feels thoroughly out of place the moment I decide to act or say something – so either there is a perpetual cycle of engagement or I defend or justify myself or become aggressive to take a stand. It seems that I am standing on a quick sand always ready to devour me.

The second challenge considering above phenomenon is why to analyze if everything seems ridiculous to debate and is leading to exhaustion of sorts. Thus should everything be suspended for good? The mindscape itself is probably tired even framing a question and trying to find an answer!!

 Let us try to consider how to proceed ahead:

Perhaps the fast rate of change is making the mindscape impossible even to conceive a question, remain anchored and acting on a hypothesis and learning something – this is an important cycle of sustaining existence. Therefore what should be done? The approach may be philosophical rather than based on manifestation. We lay emphasis on the mind and hence variables and hence causal effects and perception of change. The philosophical stance is: are we the mind? If we are beyond the mind, then should we be bothered about rate of change and what that projects to us? If we are beyond the mind, how to realize this state of permanence? This is self discovery – answer may lie in concentration, meditation, slowness, empathy, unconditional existence, commitment, duty, work, imagination or a combination of all of this. Speed is immaterial. Delight is unconditional. I am delight and there need not be any justification for this! Secondly because there is a mind, there is a question and hence there is a botheration. The pain is a function of the mind that perceives change. Dissolve the mind or the vibration and what is realized is a blissful existence not dependent on anything.

Hari Om.
