Shree: Waking Up

A dream originates from वृत्ती. Vibrations. These are wavering, so they coalesce to make forces and then visible forms which we catch through constructed mind and body – all is happening in consciousness. There are billion ways of forming vibrations into forms and hence any form can include many, many vibrations at the same time which are interconnected in the web and keep changing. So our bliss cannot be defined in terms of motion or change or forms or logic or feelings. Any of these parameters changes and hence lifelong peace is an illusion if we lay conditions to attain peace. We think that dream was false since we “Wake up” from it. But is the waking up state of perception also true or is it only based on imagination?! So is there something of waking up even from our state of perception? Perception means conditional thinking and living.

Hence from intellectual perspective, the inquiry is to become unconditional. This is correct, as a problem statement. Then an approach follows which mean three steps to be undertaken – right action (duty) + purity of thought (intent) + remembrance of God (realization of presence of the One). If this is seen as a formula, then it is again a trap since there is an assumption of expectations and causes and effects. This would nevertheless happen and the outcome of this assumption is that we will keep experiencing pain.

A time arrives when “trust” takes birth and supersedes logical thinking. It is not seen as a formula but something to be applied, reviewed, introspected, surrendered, accepted, loved, cared for, not judged, not to be evaluated, not to be conditioned to anything and so on. Trust develops or grows or gets nourished within the self when presence of God is felt realistically (or the presence of One medium). Then one becomes calm and steady.

It means that there is evolution of perception from situation centric to transcending the same situation. Transcendence means to trust Existence for what it is and accept the presence of vibrations and their impact on us but not let them control us. In other words to operate from the Soul’s perspective.

This has many repercussions in anything one does or feels or thinks or acts. In common language “development” is synonymous to material progress and some sort of predictability over life (meaning vibrations). This definition is an extremely small figment of what actually development ought to mean to the Soul and since almost everyone is unaware of the difference, everyone keeps committing the mistake of body perceptions. The body is going to wear and tear, one has to let it go and base one’s stability on something constant – Soul.

It will also be seen that creation can sprout from any vibration and any vibration can lead to a web of forces and forms to generate a situation. Therefore things are beyond logical analysis. Secondly, what remains constant is unconditional love and nothing else. That feeling is required to take birth in us and be nourished.
