fundamental things

analysis and introspection should not stop despite any distractions or compulsions - it forces one a detached mindscape to look at variables, sequences and realize that all is a construct. analysis helps to understand constructs and modify them for our peace. it also helps in trust and letting go of things which lie beyond. Beyondness is an aspect of Existence that does everything - from being to manifestation; from non motion to motion; from the One to many. this is realized through analysis and trust. another way of realizing this is by unconditional giving.

my mother cried today and this is an output of her physical and mental situation - carried through years of impressions. we are there around yet sometimes feelings become overpowering and one has to let them come out and not say anything about them. this act of witness (from my part) requires patience and consideration and knowing that it is ok to witness this situation for which, logical solutions or analysis at times, is of no help. we need not salvage anything, since to let things out in the open itself constituted salvaging things or offering comfort. if we are able to take this kind of "witnessing" approach, things would probably be healed for us from within. Becoming calm and accepting the way things are is very important, since it will not make you unnecessarily anxious or worried. if i think of ways of salvaging so called the current situation, then i am heading for a mountain of worries through logical solutions. if i do not act, then that too cannot be accepted. then what is the approach? it is a combination of becoming steady + trust + efforts in action.

becoming steady has a very deep meaning. steadiness is by practice. it is knowing the change that happens and to trust God for existence. it is to know that perception is relative and absoluteness is unconditional. it is to become blissful despite everything or anything. it is to realize the presence of God.

 

as i was heading to college today, a continuous line of people were "breaking" the signal. by observing their faces, it was perceived that they probably were not even acknowledging what was the correct course of action and what mistake they were committing and even if they knew, they were not admitting. this is a classic case of existence. it could be said that the Truth is consciousness - we know it but do not wish to acknowledge it. we go on with a herd mentality of ego and we are desperate to protect the ego from dissolution and we fail to admit this mistake. even if we did, we do not acknowledge fear. even if we did acknowledge, we take time to start with a correct approach. even if we started with a correct approach, we take time to accept the change required within us and transformation therefore happens slowly. so much clinging we do!

yet, this might be natural, else why it would have even existed? to exist means to be in some state of existence. now we can remain there or we can become steady - like the One.
