Shree: coming and going

Shree: coming and going

Despite whatever the perception generates within us, it is inevitable and a default reality that we come from God and go to God and all things that happen in between also are the will of God. Philosophy deals with two things as I understand – one of them is accepting the functioning of the mind and understanding that the start, middle and final of everything is God. This then presents us with two intents of action – either one resigns to a fate of God and do nothing if our role is zero OR embark on the journey of realization of Godliness (and hence the role of right engagement with action).

Doing nothing is not a choice for us, since whatever takes a form, must engage in action – that is the property of the form itself (or of manifestation). The fruits of our engagement have to be accepted by us or need to get perceived by us. Action leads to perception and vice versa. Reframing from action also generates fruits (pain or pleasure) and what is missed in this relationship is the “vibrations” that give rise to intent and action. Thus the focus is on vibrations and not on action or what it will give eventually.

Vibrations are extremely subtle and they get carried within our imagination for many lives and hence we come, grow, dissolve and this cycle continues eternally on account of vibrations. A life is an expression of vibrations we carry and thus the situation “out there” is a construct of vibrations. This obviously changes and remains interdependent and hence is “not absolutely true”. The Existence (as a reality/medium) does not depend on vibrations and neither whatever we perceive or do in this world. This is exactly we need to realize.

Since forms change according to anything and everything, how can one hold onto anything and why? Is there anything worthy to hold as a construct (like sand or water that slips from our fingers)? Same is true for force or for vibrations that will change. Hence our attention and imagination cannot stay on the plane of vibrations – they need to go beyond – this going beyond is silencing and steadying the mind. Going beyond is not only limited to an intellectual process but beyond it. The grace of God is that where this “beyondness” informs the intellectual transformation. If so is the journey asked for, then that is where the purpose of action is defined – expansion of the mind through work or thoughts or feelings or breath.

Currently since we are born, we will go one day and in this “station” of life, we perceive things or change or forms or forces based on our wavelength. There is definitely something before and after the station of perception and that will be known only by two things – if we go to another station after this life OR we take efforts and bring about change in imagination i.e. silence the mind itself. Death is associated with “body” and hence we fear - perhaps most concepts are a measurement of bodily experience – which change fast and remain highly interdependent on many things.

In this perspective, “body” is a state of the mind and as long as our thinking is consumed by bodily experiences (as a measure of reality) we will not be at peace. Thus, the nature of thinking then has to evolve from bodily vibrations to forces and then to subtle vibrations till imagination need not arise and only God becomes the only reality.

Above is a lot of work and calls for almost endless amount of patience. And in what manner such evolution happens is also not known and because it is not known, it is beyond logic and hence is a matter of discovery or realization. And this realization again is a loaded term. At the centre is the immediate perception of the body and hence we see only a very tiny part of the truth. As the centre grows we see the influence of forces and then of vibrations and finally no such boundary remains. The nature of the centre changes – we have not moved anywhere. We may think that this transformation is only contained by efforts or by logic but it may be far from it. In what way vibrations erupt cannot be predicted and hence it is not a matter of addition or subtraction or deletion or suppression or compartmentalization. It is a matter of silencing the vibrations. Vibrations are not the problem and one need not fear them – all has come from God, so He has also given us a key to silence them and come to know God Himself.

All things are from Him, I have no role in it and I can only observe and engage as a matter of motion. It is all by God that I am created and I will go. Hence the emphasis on start point, sequence, logic, control should be surpassed. I will come as mind + body and go and take some new form somewhere else. Whatever I see as forms have being coming and going eternally, whatever motion is seen has been coming from invisible medium to visible forms and going back to invisible medium. All that is asked is steadiness.
