210822: Shree: Acting from Beyond

Remembering God is to express one’s true nature of existence. This can happen through vibrations, thoughts and actions – all aligned. Now alignment is something that develops gradually; may not be felt linearly; may take time; may happen by unexpected situations. In what ways are we compelled by ego or identification with motion is unknown – or sometimes beyond grasp of visible intellect. And hence, practice of remembrance becomes important, since this practice transforms the person beyond his applied imagination. This sentence talks of trust – that transformation takes place and some of these steps are accidental or cannot be predicted or planned or do not seem to be tangible.

As is with philosophy, so is with anything about existence. Logic has a role of discipline but beyond that, the nature of existence brings about transformation. We may think that our impact of action can be clearly defined and can have a logical prediction, but many things happen beyond that. In the same way, when things come to us for perceiving and responding, they come from many effects beyond the tangible intellect.

Obviously the question is if everything could be governed by intellect, then what was there to fear or keep engaged with? The riddle could be solved in a definite period of time. This, however, as we known is not the case so there seems to be some phenomenon beyond our grasp that makes things happen and we perceive only a part of it depending on our mental capacity.

Secondly knowing this, we are compelled to keep ourselves engaged in planning, predicting, imagining, defending and so on. So we are always in a state of non rest and in turmoil.

So the approach to see this – is to make the mind still so that situations are seen as our own constructs and these therefore can be dissolved (or do not create any entanglement).

Unchaining oneself is to become unconditional, which means to become the One or non motion or renounce all conditions – which means to go beyond everything. Generally, renouncement may seem like suppressing everything – but it is actually to go beyond the constructed layers of mind and body. So thinking, feeling, acting through universal value is our aim and not through our mind or body.

Hari Om.
