Shree: Trust

 

Shree: Trust

In themselves, things are created and they change or transform into something else and the process continues. All Existence is of motion and we may believe of controlling a thing or realizing some sort of permanence but this belief is an illusion. The basic nature of Existence is to change or vibrate, so why do we need to control anything? All things that are visible and which change and which are perceived- represent a state of existence and we are party to this imagination. How things happen is beyond individual logic and both of these terms - logic and individuality are limited ways of perceiving things. They are not wrong, except they are limited. Nothing is an island, for everything is only the One seen or perceived to be many. There is this “I” who perceives because of difference or attachment or vibrations and hence there exists confusion or dilemma. Knowing this, is it a solution to problems of motion? I do not know and perhaps it is best not to ask but only to trust.

Day and night we are hounded by thoughts to keep fixing something and keep doing something. If not the world, then we end up trying to fix ourselves! What are we going to get by fixing? And why to fix and who is this “we”? किती हा उतावळेपणा?!

The more we analyze, the more variables are formed, the more conditions of peace are created, the more we feel dependent on factors beyond our control, the more anxious we get! Bliss does not mean analysis. Neither does suppression or rejection mean bliss. In negation or in intent – there is an ego (or a conditional purpose) since negation or intent comes from a decision of ego. Hence the words we say or the thoughts we think or whatever is written is perceived by ego and hence has limitations as far as its application is concerned.

Then we start to consider “trust” as a dimension of going beyond and which is greater than analysis. But this cannot be seen as a sequence as connected to analysis or on the top of hierarchical chain of thoughts. And herein lies the approach of philosophy which deals with this one inquiry of Existence- how does trust develop in self?
