Shree: Unfolding

Steadiness does not mean being static. Staticness means death whereas steadiness is being alive amidst change. As long as there is a mind, perception occurs and that means change, dependence and temporality and impermanence and a wavering existence and visibility of forms. This is symbolically called as “sin”, as we only act according to the constructed conditions imposed on the self – so become greedy as an existential phenomenon. In this state of mind, there is an awareness of “I” as mind and body and dependence of what one sees and what signals the senses give. The mind decides an action depending on what gets perceived as signals and it can only see that much. Hence its entire idea of survival and stability depends on this changing scenario – hence it fears and craves for stability. So much of greed is inbuilt that it starts to affect in all our actions without us even being aware of the greed. The first task is to become aware of how much deep this greed has set within oneself – not just the forms but forces and vibrations.

The awareness should increase to a cosmic medium. “We” is a construct and is not true in absolute sense. We is formed from many impressions from subtle to gross levels and from past lives and from interdependence and change – so there is not a single, absolute, stable point to refer for any action (in motion). All is relative. All is a construct. All is creation. All is an aspect of God. Hence the answer of stability does not lie at one place or by following something as a single point. One day we may feel something and the other day something else. We may think a particular action is ok and at other times something else is ok.

This means the unfolding of situations or events is not caused by any particular point of motion, but the cause is highly subtle, infinite and the One. One has to feel this unfolding coming from God, in which we have become motion (a particular fluid position). Again this also is a symbolic way of saying something - manifestation coming “from” God (from means creation or becoming). The issue with this word “from” is that we immediately rush to catch the Source as the liberator of all perils – again a greedy point of view. But that being a decision based on sequences, the Source cannot be known in that manner.

Hence trust is required. Give up the greed from within. Give up the vibrations - they are not us or we are not defined by them. How that transforms us is only to be trusted. This is symbolically called as being “Divine”.
