Shree: Difference

 

151022: Shree: Difference

There is a very strong connection between invisible One and the visible many- states of perceptions. The difference in states causes electricity to be created and to flow from one point within the conduit to light a bulb. The bulb is the visible object; the electric current is the force and positive and negative poles are states of vibrations that create this force. The intensity of flow and light emitted depends on the difference between the poles/ states. Hence as the difference nullifies, so does the current and so does the light. Therefore all motion that we experience and perceive (being born is also one of them) is a result of the difference in the states of existences - the Absolute and the relative. Is the bulb a reality or is electricity the cause or is it the difference that creates the current? The bulb comes into the picture to receive the current which is created by difference in states. As a sequence, all is interrelated and it is a mistake to think that the bulb (the manifestation of form) is the only reality. What reality we “see” is only the outermost part of existence and hence it represents a form of existence (visible). By seeing this form, can we become aware of the Invisible dimension of Being?

In other words we are extremely “hard wired” to manifestation and under a very powerful outward generating force. Why such a phenomenon? We do not know but asking this question takes us closer to the One.

Being hard wired also means to cling fiercely to some construct or a situation or a person or a context or “something” that seems to define and condition our perception. Some people keep on talking about the same subject even if it becomes detrimental to continue to cling on. And why criticize them? We do the same thing! We are so hard wired to conditioned egoistical thinking that we take on several lives without even realizing what the problem is! So it takes effort to loosen the hold of motion on us or of any perception or of any thought or of any change. This means to minimize the gap between God and me and to eventually dissolve myself.
