Shree: Presence

 

131222: Shree: Presence

 

How do we keep going? Who gives strength? How do we exist? We exist indefinitely as consciousness. From consciousness all vibrations, forces and forms emerge, change, become interdependent or conditional and dissolve.

 

In our day to day living, we do not know completely how and why certain things occur or appear in our perceptions or consciousness and we are required to respond. We think a lot for responding since we fear the fruits of actions which are not in our control. The fear arises on account of our expectations or construct of ego or identification with the changing forms and our compulsion to control them. And we continue to generate this cycle of engagement – leading to rounds of births and deaths. We are not aware of the start point or the middle or the end – nothing seems to be in our hands and we keep going in circles.

 

The progress expected is of awareness of presence of absolute consciousness. This would mean many things of vibrations, thoughts, forces and forms. All is by God and this sentence is required to be realized in our core. This means that ego or separation should vanish. The trigger for vibrations should vanish and one should exist as consciousness only.

 

No matter what the events in one’s life, it is God’s will which works. God is the sole creator of the universe including all motions, situations, events, perceptions, forces, forms, changes and so on. How things materialize and take place is only by God’s doing (and grace) and hence our only duty is to be aware of this connection of God with motion. It is God’s will we are here and we continue to learn something and experience a range of issues. All things change – tendencies and vibrations remain eternal and hence even if bodies change, situations remain the same.

 

To give a contemporary example, mobile as an object alters our consciousness in layers of thoughts and vibrations (so as any other object’s presence). Even if tomorrow the mobile is taken by someone, I still am aware of its presence since I am thinking about managing time, reminders, answers, commitments, and so on. For many says when I am not required to respond in a way the mobile makes me do (meaning taking things at my own pace, being slow, not getting reminded to do anything), the presence of mobile goes away from my thinking.

 

This means that existence of any phenomenon is dependent on how I remain engaged with it (through vibrations, thoughts and objects). All motion ceases if I become the One. All of motion does not affect me, if I become unconditional and recognize only God’s presence.
