Shree: Not a formula!

 

Shree: Not a formula!

 

Existence means consciousness and different states of being – up to the manifestation of forms. A form is a visible entity that gets perceived by vibrations + forces and that makes it appear changing, interdependent - all imaginary. The feeling of “I” along with a body is a result of this phenomenon. And this feeling also creates the entire world of perception – experiences and hence none of the experiences occurring can be said as null or void or ridiculous.

 

That being the case, however, experiences are not the end in themselves or something that keep defining us. What defines us? Nothing. Or the only thing that is a reality is something that does not change and is beyond any time or space or form or vibration – hence said as “consciousness”.

 

Thus, any change is a kind of vibration and is an illusion and creates a separation of subject and object. This is all a mind game, which we are currently not aware of this play – hence treat it as very real.

 

The fact to be learnt is anything can be made “real” by existence (mind being a part of existence). The mind is required to be nourished to take it back to its original blissful state of existence. Taking the name of God is said to work in that favor.

 

But the name of God is not a formula from which things are required to be expected or transformed – it defeats the purpose of taking the name! The name of God is only being aware of His presence. What that does to us in which manner and where and when and how is to be trusted to God. Another name for this action is – surrendering the ego to existence.

 

Even to think of the result is to doubt the strength of the Name of God. Yet for most of us, this does not come naturally and self efforts are required (ego consciously working to dissolving itself!).

 

I do not know how this works and since it cannot be known, it has to be trusted! Is that weird?
