Shree: Patience

 

110822: Shree: Patience

The One and its understanding develops in many ways – the same Principle in all events, situations, realities, vibrations, perceptions is realized in new ways and this of course happens by patience.

Ego or the construct of separation, mind-body, and vibrations creates motion or the perception thereof. Patience is required to dissolve this construct or to go beyond. As much as we realize Godliness or Divinity or acknowledgment of presence of Divine Will, sooner is this process of becoming blissful.

The process is about becoming unconditional. I am not anything what perception defines me as – changing, impermanent, fearful, expectations, urges, race, space or time or anything else. I am not dilemma or intellect or feelings or contradictions or introspection or action or forces or forms or anything else. I am not the manifestation. I am not what I see or sense or touch or smell or taste or think or do. I am not defined by any of these qualities or informed by them or compelled by them. I am not the space or the time. I am the eternal One who manifests as above qualities.

Yet the above understanding requires one to pass through terrible amount of pain and develop patience. Whoever said that realization was a cake walk must be joking.

Pain is inevitable and a very important learning too. And there is nothing to fear change and which causes pain – all is self created because of the belief in vibrations and what those generate for us as life and death (or change).

What manifests will dissolve and what dissolves will manifest again – perhaps in new forms and new character. Let there be any number of change in all scenarios forever – underlying all this is the permanent One. Manifestation is a form of the One. There is only the One, all forms are just states of the One’s existence. Manifesting and dissolving indicate our states of mind, which means we are again expressions of the One. We can become One or we can manifest into something. This training is to be acquired; else we may get tossed as the wind flows and the ship drifts.

Behind all motion and forms and words and characters exist many, many forces that shape or give expression to a form – as thought or feeling or words or tendency such as anger or anything else. Anger is a misplaced notion. On whom to be angry and why? For what? Are we angry at a ‘form’ that changes; a relationship that changes; an outcome that changes; the self that changes; time that changes and space that changes?! And why is anger even required? The same question is applicable for pain too. As someone out here, I plan something, I sequence out things, I expect certain results, I remain engaged in this crazy pursuit since all things keep changing and I get frightened of change. Why to endorse this crazy idea? What is is. What is received is there. What goes will be going anyway. Where is the role of ‘me’, anyway?! Why should there be a role, anyway?! Why am I even imagining a role? Why should there be an imagination?  

Again, as logical as the question may sound and the answer may be known, it still requires patience to not get distracted and get defined by logical somersaults of the intellect or the pulls of emotions or the resignation of feelings.

This is patience – unconditional bliss which is not affected by any damn thing of motion.
