250922: Shree: Have Faith

Existence only is. Existence is perceived as a state of mind – either of forms or of the One. The forms are temporarily created and dissolved as a potential of existence and these depend on the nature of vibrations to become something. This something depends on everything else and does not have any independent or absolute existence. Nothing in motion ever has any permanent or absolute existence and hence is subjected to the behavior of space and time. Space and time are one and the same and ever changing and interdependent. They are also a form of expression of consciousness and as we have feelings, so do space and time.

As perception we are in a loop of thoughts generated and attached by us through vibrations. As long as there is a hint of attachment or of individualness or of ego or of mind or body, there is some idea of motion in space and time and our expectation and self talk persists. By analyzing we may over think and we may defend our position till the “right” moment comes or till the “right” action is taken and so on. As intellect anything can be regarded as a start point; any sequence can be generated; any defense can be undertaken; any justification can be given. Retrospection itself can be seen as a defense at times and the continuous self talk may also be a defense against action.

It can be said that if there is ego, we tend to perceive that motion is always against you. Perhaps that is the ego’s way to sustain itself or always be in struggle. The fundamental struggle is with the self and no matter how much ever the sequence is known or predicted, what is in store as situations or experiences cannot get dismissed or suppressed or ignored or skipped. It maybe perhaps learning sent from God and we need to spend all the momentum (of past impressions, present impressions, future pulls) till we become God. Swami Vivekananda says that it is the constitutional right of the Soul to realize itself and just as Existence is or light is, so is the reality of the Soul that will be discovered or realized one day. What situations or time or space makes one realize this – is only to be trusted to God and self effort.

Any moment can be perceived as anything – there is no fixed definition in motion – it all depends on how one thinks about the same. Behind all actions and concepts and ideas and feelings, exist only the One whose Will works. As motion, we think very linearly or logically and that is too narrow a lens that gives rise to pain. Pain, in itself is not bad – it is inevitable because of change and how we cling to it. It is required for us to learn something from this response of experiencing pain again and again. What words matter, what feelings matter also cannot be predicted or planned – people open up only when situations become so and we think that by saying these words or doing that, things happened. All is by God and in what way things materialize is magic. Leave it to God and do your job of putting absolute trust and faith on God.  

As we move ahead in life, we may hear and ourselves perceive pain and fear and guilt and incompleteness. I feel it many times and despite thinking about how it could be corrected or deflected, I still experience these difficult feelings – inexpressible many times and unexplainable many times and realizing that this is all a “loop”. Can this be avoidable? The question is – why to avoid like a problem? It is to be accepted as a human experience and to make ourselves steady. Secondly no amount of analysis makes a situation of present or future “perfect”. It is an illusion of the ego because of separation. Thirdly what goes on as motion, we need not have any control and neither are we answerable for the same, except our mindscape.

Only God is. Any compulsions or desires that are felt, are misplaced, although that is a learning one needs to have.  It takes time – listen to everything, be steady in all, be still, be calm, give love and be happy. Analysis and apprehension (past and future) are only imaginations – what happens will happen and what will come also shall go. Have faith.

Hari Om.
