Shree: Becoming Steady

I don’t know how things work when trust is built in God. I don’t know how trust works and that is perhaps to be accepted – not knowing the process of evolution – partly with clarity what one strives to achieve and partly trusting the transformation beyond what can be imagined. We always know part of the story and I do not think it needs to be a botheration for us. All comes as Existence, so all is divine and a construct, so all will come, change, and go and the cycle will repeat. That goes to say that impermanence is always about becoming – a conscious choice riddled with uncertainty, faith, turmoil, anchorage, potential and so on. Even if something is “said” (even as a concept of confusion or debate or discussion or love or from any intent), there is an impression and there is impermanence. Saying something or thinking something is not a recipe for control and nothing can be. We need to make peace with this reality. It is a mistake to think that we do anything and that there is something called as “we”! Since things appear incomplete, there is a high level of temptation to complete the picture, even if a minute speck of vibration remains. This is engagement and whatever the situation, a long as forms are seen, there is attachment of some kind and there is ego of some kind and subtly things are getting formed from internal vibrations. So the habit of trusting God never ends and it has to be done afresh everyday to silence the vibrations or transform them into a steady state of mind. This is Existence and in Existence, we have a choice. Either we express as motion or as the Absolute. For anyone born into a situation of human being, we are not sure how this choice has landed us here but it has. And knowing the cycles of engagement we come to accept the situation as it is without the urge of finding the start point.

Secondly current situation exaggerates loss of control as more things become fragmented, change fast and out of scope of consolidation. The control cannot be reached by connecting variables in scales – since what is felt as loss at one scale will also be felt as loss in any other scale. Therefore the answer to peace is NOT in adding any variables or deleting any variables to come to a point or coming to a start point or anything else. The running of the mind is not dependent on the nature of motion or the sequence of variables. Rather it is the other way round – since the mind runs – it invents variables.

Thus, this means that mind exists (as potential or energy). And it can exist as motion or as Absolute Truth of being. Steadying the mind is a matter of trusting the absolute dimension of Existence.
