080922: Shree: Value

Compartments do not lead to a balance of life. By knowing “more stuff” at “greater speed” does not bestow calmness of spirit. In general, we should acknowledge that the problem is with us identifying with vibrations that create forces and forms – all this is a form of existence. We cannot sit idle and we keep craving for more since we continue to feel insecure and impermanent. This means more reading, more writing, more travelling, more meeting, more desires, more action…more and more at infinity!

Is there a limit to all this? By knowing something “else” or something”different” – does that (or would that) really solve a problem? Is there a problem in the first place? And what is the nature of the problem we are dealing with? This is a fundamental inquiry, since this question tries to look inward and understand what is happening deep within and how does that shape our perception?

Outward changes and identification with these are aspects of ego or perception of space and time or of many or of change or of interdependence. There is just the One motionless medium that appears (or is made visible) as “many” and attachments and egos and clinging and many other things.

How would knowing more of motion can the riddle be solved or put to rest? It cannot, since whatever we may know about – is dependent on the same nature of vibrations so limits of knowing are not enough (and neither can they be bound by external intake). One will always feel doing something, solving something, defending something, going someplace, projecting past or future, writing something, reading something, expressing something and so on. This is our current tendency or a state of existence of the mind.

Remember that none of visibility we owe anything and none of that is actually absolute. So balancing the motion and managing the pace is not the solution. By doing something at the cost of something else or by suppressing something else does not offer peace. All contradictions, if at all, should merge/ melt/ dissolve into one single concentrated force or intent that steadies the vibration. The key is to become steady in vibrations and experience non movement – do this by thought or feeling or action or anything else. Renouncing motion (distraction, desires, vibrations) is also the same thing. But ordering oneself to renounce does not get the result. Renouncing does not mean forgoing things – it means to become steady on something so everything else is dissolved (or renounced or made redundant).

In other words, becoming a value larger than life is necessary and only this can give one bliss. To be involved with and talk about values is much greater than to be worried about desires, security and mind/body perception. Motion cannot be quenched by anything and worry only worsens the situation or the pace of motion. By focusing on any aspect of motion does not yield any peaceful result. Focus on the value and become steady. This will dissolve everything else and consciousness is realized.
