Shree: interior and exterior

 

Shree: interior and exterior

Interior and exterior are two states of feeling existence.

Exterior – is visible, changing, thought prone, full of conditions, impermanent, shows us forms, changes fast, is gross, involves analysis, and always tends towards separation.

Interior is majorly invisible or intangible, beyond space and time, unconditional, absolute, does not move or change, is subtle, involves synthesis, is infinite and is One.

Both are ways of being, there is something such as senses and what gets sensed before us because we exist and perceive a lot of exterior events and our mind catches and generates only those signals. Even if an internal world exists, it cannot be felt or be made real or be understood because our mind does not know the language the internal world expresses.

When the mind becomes subtle, it senses the inner vibrations and finally the consciousness and when it does so, all external world vanishes, all forms vanish, all change vanish. What exists is an infinite medium which is the One.

The internal world is the “centre” of all creation seen externally. Or the centre of everything is the One. The centre means that which is fundamental, absolute and from where everything gets created. We as manifestations or motions do not have any independent existence, had it not been for the presence of this centre called God.

In other words, nothing exists as absolute truth besides God and that also means that the value we give for situations is temporary, fleeting, changing and completely dependent on God’s Will.

By going somewhere fast or designing a short cut does not take us to the centre of being. What this means that if decision of efficiency, fastness, refinement is taken in motion, it does not transcend motion at all – it would only generate motion of a different kind (different issues and concerns etc.). But perhaps if all this worry is suspended and perhaps slowness develops, lateral movement seeps in and the meandering path takes one or brings about an encounter with the forest, sea, sky, wind and a pathway perhaps then one “becomes” God. The question of how fast or slow, what or when automatically should go away. The question of searching for something should go away. The question of worry should go away. The question of individual identity should get diminished.

All experiences are therefore required and what moment brings about what experience cannot be predicted and neither may they be controlled (for avoidance). To expect permanence of experiences (therefore expecting start point, predictable sequence and a result) is just not a sustainable idea. Every moment will have experiences or the potential of the cosmos and it would keep changing.

Therefore to embrace fear is not that simple since what is fear is an inquiry for which transcendence is required. It can be vaguely spoken, some examples would be given, all defenses get decked up to conceal fear, evaluations occur, justifications are put fort but fear is rarely admitted and accepted (even by oneself). The greatest transformation or healing can occur when pain or fear is accepted deep within us without labeling or judging it and knowing that it has come from God, so there is a purpose for its existence and it can be seen as a learning experience to become God.

What we know as the ultimate step in the solving of our own riddle of life by “fixing” something may not be the correct answer, since we are only running here and there to solve something. The riddle will be solved mysteriously by trust. Trust God.
