Shree: A question

 

Shree: A question

There are days of times when introspection continues or one is engaged in this activity and at other times, one may be engaged with action. Introspection helps and so does philosophy. It may help at that very instant (which is ideal) or it may help retrospectively or in the future or while analyzing situations later on. The ideal way is to exist as One at the given moment but even if philosophy helps one at other moments or in difficult and happy times, then that is also nice. Hence this habit of introspecting should not remain suspended.

Philosophy is about systematizing certain perceptions or perhaps transforming them into the One or even dissolving vibrations or renouncing motion or focusing on being unconditional – all is the same but it has all these layers. Perhaps we are aware that only a human being is given this gift of reflexive thought and this gift requires acknowledgment.

Ideally again, philosophy is about unconditional loving and being at peace with everything. This is a process and some of the steps involved is at least of accepting variations, dilemmas and constructs and observing them and being patient along the way. It is about inquiring where do these tendencies exist; where do they come from; why do they come; how do they come and how and where do they go? All of this is motion and all of this is perception and even forces and forms and all of this is One.

I am a gift from beyond and this gift transforms, changes, perceives, depends on something and is also absolute.

The biggest struggle so long has been of understanding what is happening within me and why cannot I express the contradiction or dilemma inside of me to someone? Why am I obsessed to be authentic and what is authenticity? In being so sharply focused on this question, perhaps I lose out on acceptance and resist change. Was this avoidable? I cannot answer this question since logic will only present the answer as a matter of choice. Choice does not solve the nature of existence and it only keeps on presenting alternatives of experiences. But does choice or intellect or analysis or logic offer peace?

To answer this question then, it is important to expand the definition of logic as a mere problem solving tool. Inspiration is also logic and so is lateral or comprehensive thinking. A tool is a tool but behind the tool is the intent, which comes from vibrations.

Ask yourself what is the intent of existing as mind and body? Why do we wish to remain so interdependent or conditional? Why do we base our identity on mind and body?

We require putting trust in existence. We require realizing what the nature of existence is. None of this process is straightforward and simple. Had it been so, many would become God and all misery would end in an instant. Motion exists and that is ok. Tendencies exist, people exist, vibrations exist, movements exist and all is ok. For, the existence of motion does not affect Divinity in any way and that is where our realization should reach. I may not even be able to say this verbally, yet all is ok with me and the world!

All questions of time, space, people, situations, events, frequencies, intensities, causal connections, emotions, feelings, logic, compartmentalization, positions, urgency, withdrawal, awareness should be dropped or one need not be bothered even if they remain suspended or they continue to exist. Existence is already there even if questions continue to generate, change and transform. Question does not mean something must be completed and we are currently incomplete and hence impermanent and hence unlovable. Rather a question is a question – a tendency of existence as mind. Embrace it. All is ok with any ‘question’! All is well!
