Shree: Effort

 

Shree: Effort

Confirmation to anything or to any sequence or visibility or a presence of some form of state and its effect and influence on other forms is not required (for others), since principally there is no other and the feeling of other itself is an indication of one’s state of perception or awareness.

Even awareness or perception may suggest a hint of action or a purpose or role of existence; but “Being” even goes beyond this subtle way of understanding.

Currently the idea of being is conditioned to phenomena and hence generates that feeling accordingly. The moment this idea becomes unconditioned, one truly becomes That – the Being.

We can state this idea only in a peaceful state. However this state has to be our core at every moment. Secondly we exist as a whole – projections of past, present, future and their relationships with many other states. So any event can be reviewed at existential time and the complete meaning of any event is an onging process – not fixed. From that aspect, analysis and effort is required to be seen – since the effect of analysis and effort will get reviewed by our own state of mind sometime later  - which we cannot predict at present and which happens automatically.

Hence effort in the moment is required. Effort in remembering God is required every moment. That defines or makes our ‘fate’ subsequently (combination of self made effort and grace of God).

Words, sentences do not mean anything about self or the other – they come from far deeper states of being and not limited to space or time – hence relax. People saying anything does not suggest anything for them or for me. No need to base your response on those words. The question is why do we become so concerned about some people’s words as compared to other words said by somebody else? Interesting question, if one is able to detach one’s sense of wellbeing from what is said as “words”.

The answer is not so straightforward and hints at philosophical dimension. As our awareness of philosophy increases, so does our appropriate way of hearing or listening to what people say and when and where and why and how.

I am currently least concerned by self actions and in what field and when and for whom and what is said and how etc. Of course this feeling requires to be generated everyday and it may have its fair share of ups and downs, who knows?! Regardless of which, this feeling can become real.

Trust.

Relax.

The self ought to become increasingly aware (in a natural way) about the way in which imagination is seen, dealt with and intents generated – those are also applicable for words too. Words ought not to indicate – time shortage, demand, compulsion, fixing urges, miscommunication, mismatch of frequencies or sequences, output demands, self worth, judgment, evaluation, identity, fear, anger, loss, holding capacity and so on. No one probably indicates or says this explicitly in words – it can be nevertheless “be felt” to the extent to which the self becomes subtle and sensitive. In reality, the “form” of a person is something that the self projects based on the inner intent and NOT on what the person is. Hence the inner voice is the only reality there is – the external situation (or the “projection”) is an extension of this fact.  

As the self becomes sensitive or subtle, the need to do anything or fix anything dissolves. The self talk is one of peace or bliss and NOT of action or intent. The “projection” with respect to an “imagined situation” changes as a consequence.

जग असत आणि ते भावनांच्या द्वारे जाणवत कारण ‘मी’ होतो. जसा मी होतो तसा भगवंत वेगळा होतो आणि जग देखील वेगळ वाटत राहत. म्हणजे स्व होण्याच्या क्रिये मध्येच दुसर्यांचा उगम आहे – हे दोन्ही गोष्टी तश्या वेगळ्या नाही. जग कुठल्या पार्श्वाभूमिवर निर्माण होणार आणि अर्थ मिळणार?....माझ्या होण्यावर! जो काही मी आहे, त्यावरून जगाच अस्तित्व, व्याख्या आणि आकार ठरतो. थोडक्यात जगाला दोष देणे म्हणजे स्वतः मध्ये दोषांच स्थान बळकट करणे! निर्मिती हि एक विलक्षण प्रक्रिया आहे आणि गूढ आहे, जेणेकरून अदृष्याच्या स्वभावातून दृष्यमय जगाचा स्वभाव उत्पत्तीला येतो आणि जातो. हे कसं घडत? शब्दात मांडता येईलही, पण त्याने शांतता मिळेल का? ह्या प्रक्रीये मध्ये गुण तैय्यार होऊन आकार घडतात (निर्माण होतात) आणि त्यांच्या स्वभावामुळे आपण भगवंताला विसरतो / अदृष्याला विसरतो/ सुक्ष्म वस्तूला विसरतो. हे जस खरं आहे, तसच भगवंत होणे – हि क्रिया देखील असंभव नाही. त्यासाठी जगाचा स्वभाव, वृत्ती, विचारांचं जाळ आणि परिणामांशी संबंध सोडायला हवा. तो सोडू अस म्हणल तर सुटत नाही. तो सुटत नाही कारण आपण बुद्धीला कवटाळून बसतो. कारण आपण सगुणाला महत्व देतो. ती निर्गुणाची शक्ति अनुभवण्यासाठी भगवंताचे नाम घेत राहणे हि क्रिया चालू ठेवायला लागते. त्याचा परिणाम कसा होतो ह्याची काळजी करून नये.

दुसरी गिष्ट अशी कि सर्व अस्तित्वाच्या आनंदातून साकारल जात. म्हणून आपला मुळ स्वभाव (किवा भाव) तो आहे. आणि त्यातून आपल्याला जे काही शक्य आहे, ते आपण निर्माण करू शकतो. थोडक्यात हेतू निर्मितीचा “आनंद” असला पाहिजे, म्हणजे आपण स्वतः कालांतराने आनंदी राहू.

Shree: Trust

 

Shree: Trust

It is not necessary to know any variables beforehand to undertake an action – at least this is what I (as existential phenomenon feel) – these too come from God so there is always His action that works or manifests, not mine. The more I come to know, the more I expect that the sequences within them will lead to a perfect action. Knowing and identifying variables is a state of mind – generated from any doubt or trust. Therefore existence is always there and the fundamental aspect is about Trust – this should guide the identification of variables.

Hence the definition of variables itself depends on the inner quality of vabrations that “make/ create/ define” a situation. Variables hence are only “created” and need not define us. The problem with intellect is that we equate action with performance and identification and hence even the word “identification” becomes problematic. Currenlty we are seeing identification with the belief of impermanence and intolerance and hence the urge to “fix” it. This will not stop regardless of whatever action we do since the basic inner intent is not changing! For us, variables are created through some amount of rationalization and feelings. Collectively it is called a vibration. There is no variable without feeling or vibration (and hence some amount of selfness gets established). The issue is not about intellect or feelings, but even deeper than that – it is about the nature of vibration and is about “realization” of this phenomenon. This realization parallely develops an inner trust in the entire process of existing.

Hence to calm oneself, such feelings of trust are required to be created within us – although it is NOT only a logical process but much more profound and mysterious. Whatever the process, still trust can be cultivated evenif we do not know any situation – and that is the WHOLE point! To realize that trust is always there and bliss is always there – we are yet to be geared completely in that feeling.

Hari Om.

Shree: Patterns

 

Shree: Patterns

Patterns of becoming, forming, behavior exist for eternity – they will keep erupting and going or dissolving into something else (invisible). Patience means to realize this experience. No matter what pain I go through, what or how perception of people and situations occur and how I am made, it is NOT something that I need to rectify or see it as a problem and this is the biggest strength that evolves in the self. Fixing does NOT mean taking the right path to peace. Fixing is a tendency of separation. Perceptions, thoughts, feelings are a state of existence – again coming from a medium we currently do not understand or feel but nevertheless IS there. And this vibration leads to many forms and a feeling of change and the compulsion to remain engaged and feel the hurt or pain. Perhaps this is a necessary step in evolving and that still needs to be discovered and trusted for its existence – that everything will be felt regardless of how it will feel to us. This cannot be complained about or stopped or revolted or suppressed or dismissed off.

There is also no expectation to “find” a solution. The process is about realization and it encompasses everything. That ‘I’ get created; I forget how this process takes place (and this forgetting is a loss of trust or connection with God and to remain engaged with perception we call intellect and feelings).

Therefore if one understands this, just as forgetting was some mysterious process of becoming; then saying the name of God may be a process of connecting and becoming Him again. The process is mysterious for sure – beyond intellect and feelings (that seem to divide and make us).

This is one aspect. As far as the process is concerned, feelings help one to connect and expand the mind as against mere intellect. This differentation is also a problem as there is no compartment as such. What use is the intellect if it does not care and what use is of feelings if it is not disciplined by intellect? So when I think, I think or become through all modes of expression. These modes are not mine, but they come and go and evolve. We believe they are what we are, but we are BEYOND these dimensions, as we keep realizing the Truth. Hence one has to be always be at this process of realization no matter what it takes.

If I see the inevitability and illusion of our efforts to “fix” anything at all, then I am at peace. However the decision is not just intellectual but related to feelings, body, vibrations (the whole of being) and the decision is about growing awareness of perception and creation and situations. Hence it requires patience, forgiving and care.

Hari Om.

We are ‘I’ – a construct from a phenomenon of Existence. This ‘I’ primarily sees itself as formal/ causal. There are grades of causal relationships starting from vibrations to forces to forms. This leads to our perception of existence either as ‘forms’ or as ‘forces’ or as ‘vibrations’ or as the Truth. Hence the causal phenomenon is in the mind (or the state of the mind).

This causal relationship makes us stay engaged with a particular changing scenario or signals. This may be referred as ‘states of ego’.

The mystery is that although this may be felt, the “intent” of understanding this phenomenon cannot be egoistic or to escape or to find escape at whatever cost or anything else – apart from realization. Even any single parameter of whatever purest of intents can lead to a certain causal relationship (cycles of reincarnation).

Currently the problem with the intellect is to apply “logic” from a limited frame of mind – only logical and intensify expectations and planned changes and outputs and productions. This behavior is problematic. Even if it is chosen to be applied to something as Truthful as philosophy, the philosophical approach (message) will get distorted to a mere logical causal expectation and the message would not be interpreted in its true spirit.

Therefore the seers say – that Principles of philosophy, although “understood” by the intellect, are required to be applied. In application itself, one realizes with what intent were the Principles understood – whether completely or superficially or comprehensively or mysteriously.

This also indicates that realization is a process of transformation that should include everything that our existential dimension gives us – from vibrations to forces and forms; and NOT just intellect.

It also means that trust is important. It also means that there maybe something as apriori existence (even before intellect has set in or has manifested). This means there maybe something as noumenon (Ref. Kant) that always existed prior to any phenomenon.

In our day to day lives, this means that pressure of performance, ego, change is required to loosen up as awareness of subtle states increases. This awareness leads to different questions, different approaches, different ideas of trust and different feelings.

This is the journey that one undertakes.

श्री: गणित

 

श्री: गणित

 

मी एका संकल्पनेत वावरत आहे आणि ती श्री साठी अर्पण करावी कारण ‘मी’ होतो किवा निर्माण झालो आहे. विचार कशे येतात, बदलत राहतात आणि कुठला क्षण अनुभवायला आणतात – हे कुणी सांगाव?! किवा विचार आणि भावना आहे तरी काय?

त्याच स्पष्टीकरण आपण देऊ शकू (आणि ते अध्यात्म मध्ये दिलेलं आहे) पण स्पष्टीकरण देणे हि एक ताकद आहे, त्याच ओझ असत. ते पेलवता येत नसेल तर स्पष्टीकरणाच्या फंदात न पडलेल बर आणि जे काही अनुभव येत आहेत त्याला पूर्णपणे स्वीकारण्याची भावना निर्माण करणे शहाणपणाच ठरत. स्पष्टीकर्णामुळे सुरवात होते कि अनुभवातून (भावनेतून)? एखादी गोष्ट पूर्ण स्वरुपात बौद्धिक दृष्ट्या माहीत होते कि भावनिक दृष्ट्या का दोन्ही? “जाणीव होणे” हि क्रिया कुठल्याही मार्गातून होत असतेच – ती कमी-जास्त प्रमाणात बौद्धिक, भावनीक आणि शारीरिक माध्यमातून होते आणि प्रत्येकाचा मार्ग (किवा पिंड) वेगळा असतो आणि तो एकमेकांमध्ये मिसळलेलाहि असतो. म्हणून ह्या सर्व विचारांना तसा ठोस उगम नाही किवा बिंदू नाही.

हे ध्यानात आल, कि कुठलाही विचार “आपला” म्हणून जाणवू शकत आणि त्या विचारांमधून एक अस्तित्वाची कल्पना रचली जाऊ शकते. किवा विचार येओ, बदलो आणि मावळो – त्यावरून आपल काही म्हणण अवलंबून नसत. थोडक्यात विचार आणि सत्य मी – हे वेगळ्या गोष्टी आहेत.

तरी हि जाणीव येण्या करता असंख्य जन्म आणि प्रयत्न करत राहणे महत्वाच ठरत असावं.

आज अस वाटल कि न बोलणे किवा सगळ स्वछ दिसणे किवा वेळेवर पटापट गोष्टी होणे – ह्याला काही खरच अर्थ आहे का? सुंदर वाटणे किवा शांत वाटणे आणि कश्याही घडामोडी होणे हे चालु शकत. ठराविक पद्धतीने कामं होणे किवा जगणे म्हणजेच सुख उपभोगणे - हे काही गणित नाही. जीवन गणितासारख जर केल तर त्याची वाट लागू शकते. हे अत्यंत चुकीच आहे कि आपण स्वतः आणि घडामोडी गणितातमक मांडू पाहतो – त्याने नुसता त्रास पदरी पडतो.

गणित आलं रे आलं कि गूढत्वाचा झाला बट्याबोळ! आणि कदाचित अहंकार म्हणजे गणिताच्या आधारावर आयुष्य बघणे (अट्टाहास) आणि कला किवा गूढ पद्धतीने आयुष्य जाणवणे म्हणजे संत होणे. त्याची किंमत आहे स्वाभाविक. ती किंमत आहे गणित सोडणे. जे होत आहे ते भगवंताच्या इच्छेने होत आहे हि भावना वाढवणे आणि श्रद्धा ठेवणे.

Maths is for fools - a very narrow minded approach. Life works in mysterious ways.

Shree: Love

 

Shree: Love

Every person expresses thoughts in a unique way – as sequences that generate feelings. All can be said as vibrations in consciousness and engaging in this state. Sequences generate feelings and feelings in turn can also generate some sequences or thoughts. Thus it is all “how” one wishes to perceive existence and that also is a decision or an act that is undertaken or gets generated. It is already seen that perception is non steady and throws feelings of fear. And it is also felt that despite anything, how love can get generated.

The choice is therefore whether love needs expression or fear and that is regardless of any situation.

I think love is important regardless of anything and that may mean many things. So I should focus on love. To generate love or to become love it may pass me through many unpleasant feelings and how those evolve and become steady into love is a matter of grace of God and trust in Him. So trust Him for all moments of existence. He is always there in you and near you and around you.

Hari Om.

Shree: Calmness and fear

 

Shree: Calmness and fear

If only I am calm, I am able to ‘picture’ fear the way it seems to get constructed by me / through me. This fear is just one aspect of existence and it is applicable at all scales and all forms (as sequences or variables). If the inference of these variables is to achieve control, then I get stressed and fearful (as feelings). Hence fear is an inference of a state of perception. What is a situation is an independent act (called A); what is perceived by this act (is called B) and what it subsequently results as a feeling within us and a continuous loop (is called C). Hence C depends on B and B is generated by us through A (which already exists).

Now this inference called ‘fear’ compels us to act without any rationality. Calmness is a state that this compulsion is not generated DESPITE any perceived changes and incompleteness. I am NOT A or B or C. Or in other words, we can go from C to A and even transcend A by changing the nature of B. There is therefore no need to defend or justify anything or get worried or stressed by anything at all – not even our sense of being incomplete. Now incompleteness also is a perception – it should not mean that I ought to be worried.

Hence the essense of being calm is to become non judgmental about everything, even the self or the creation of self, no matter what perception occurs.

Now this requirement is a mysterious event and not only a relative or a causal relationship and hence one cannot predict the dawn of calmness within us. Trust is required.

Calmness is in realization of the Truth and being full of Inspiration and Divine Presence. It will also be seen here that it seems to be a property of Existence to remain expansive and calm or to become contracted and fearful. Essentially expansion and contraction results in the creation of feeling of bliss and fear.

At a subtle level, whatever thought (which includes observation, sequence and inference is concerned), is seen in a non judgmental way. Perhaps there is no inference at all – our existence is beyond any inferences.

Space and time were always there – consciousness in fact. The movement we sense and that we become is always happening in One medium of Truth and this we feel is happening for the first time, although it isn’t. Behind the forms, there are innumerable states of forces shared across the web (forces of thoughts, feelings, quantum, gravity and so on).

First or last is relative to state of existence and as we become more aware, the sense of movement becomes steady or absolutely still in oneself. The entire effort is to transcend this idea of relative existence and become the Absolute Existence. All phenomena are relative  - as is all states and all multiverses. In all these phenomena we are created, we become, we take on some forms of awareness, we sense some interconnections and so on. We are always moving and undertaking this journey of becoming the Truth. There is no iota of difference in Absolute Existence no matter whatever changes we perceive or whenever we may appear to come and go.

Remembrance is about this journey we undertake and the destination that we ought to become. In this remembrance, there is a role of action, visibility, thought, feelings, space and time. Forms by themselves are immaterial and they can contain any meaning we give them. Meaning is from vibrations and in fact vibrations are from consciousness. Hence if you see it, consciousness only ‘is’. It creates meaning and that leads to forms and those change too. Thus, what is the validity of the individual ‘self’?! it is only in ‘creation’  - a dimension of consciousness. Hence the actions that are undertaken, are coming from Divine Presence.

Calmness can be attained when

Someone speaks but it is not a matter of judgment.

There are no answers for perfection but that does not define your worth or inability.

You say but that is not final and meant to be defensive for anyone. Others may take it in a defensive way but that does not mean that you have said it wrongly. So self blame is a wrongly made assumption or a belief that has no validity.

Everyone operates out of love – this is a fundamental aspect of existence. Everyone operates, but no one realizes it and hence what gets perceived is a distorted version of love. Behind all feelings, thoughts, actions is love of existence. Hence all forms of the web “connect” in various ways from anger, stress to love. Whatever the forms and whatever their talk or actions, that does not indicate your voice of love. Hence operate from love and be patient. Only recognize love (or operate from love). This is the only thing that matters.

Things change. Regardless of this perception, love is constant or eternal. Hence when one operates from Love, changes become immaterial. This is to be always discovered and realized and may not appear to be a simple or a straight forward process. No matter how much painful or difficult a moment may feel, do not lose hope of love.

God’s love works in very mysterious ways  - far beyond logic or intellectual analysis. Hence trust Him. We may feel pain but do not run away. By being there, absorbing and observing apparent difficult things, you may help yourself in becoming more calmer.

Silence is inward. Externally that may reflect as a discussion, debate, anger or action. Hence you have full right to ensure existence of love by externally responding in billion possible ways  - which may also mean being externally defensive. This is NOT non alignment of things. It only means that you wish to become Love regardless of whatever it takes.

Hari Om.

Decision is a reality for us – and what it creates for us and “how” we wish the reality to be aligned to the realization of Godliness. All is self actualization or realization and we have every right to undertake this journey and feel and analyze in any way that seems appropriate for ‘us’ which will lead to becoming tranquil.

All happens for good and this is a reality and the truth that we have to believe. We initiate actions in a phenomenon that appears to create different forms and some relations. However we always have existed as consciousness and from this existence all phenomena emerges. Hence we will always remain existing. So things will keep happening, changing, evolving and so on. How much of this should we be concerned about and how much of this is the aspect of conscious action and how much this is a matter of trust and Divine Will? We have to outgrow the feeling of being concerned to a feeling of wonder to a feeling of Truth.

We are Truth, we are feeling, we are One and we are tranquil. All else is only some state of vibration that seeks our perception or response. BUT what should that response be is entirely our own inner matter, which itself (in a relative sense) has all the liberty of being truthful for whatever it thinks and for whatever it choses to act on and evolve. We are God; we are always there as connected with Principles and we remember everything and we are knowledge. Have faith in this idea and reality and the Truth.

प्रत्येक क्षण तुम्हाला कळो अथवा ना कळो, तो भगवंताच्या इच्छेने आला आहे आणि               बदलणार आहे. आपली इच्छा त्याच्या इच्हेतून वेगळी नसते (ती वेगळी होऊ शकत नाही/ तिला अस वेगळ अस्तित्व नाही आहे), म्हणून कुठल्याही परिस्थितीचा अनुभव, होणे, बदलणे, जाणे हे सर्वस्वी त्याच्या कार्यातून होत असत.

परिस्थितीच ज्ञान संपादन करणे (प्रापंचिक दृष्ट्या) म्हणजे जर-तर च्या चक्रात अडकणे आणि बिंदू वर लक्ष केंद्रित करण्याचा अट्टाहास करणे. त्याच उत्तर बुद्धीला मिळत नाही आणि म्हणून मन अस्वस्थ राहत. कारण बुद्धी आणि कुठलीही ‘गोष्ट’ निर्माण झाली आहे – तिचा एक स्वाभाव  आहे, परावलम्बिक प्रकरण आहे, जर-तर आहे, बदल आहे, आणि एक स्थिती आहे. हे ध्यानात यायला हव, म्हणजे हेतू, कृती, व्यक्ती, दृश्याचा अर्थ, आकलन, विचार, पूर्व ज्ञान आणि भविष्य ज्ञान, वृत्ती, सुरुवात, शेवट, स्तर  - ह्या संकलपांच्या पलीकडे जाणे/ होणे.

मी का लिहितो? मला नाही ठाऊक; किवा भगवंताची इच्छा. अस आपल्याला सर्व बाबतीत जाणून घेता येईल का? आणि हे हि लिहितांना कुठल्या हेतू आत वावरत असतील ह्याचा पूर्ण ठाम पत्ता कुठे ठाऊक मला? म्हणजे कुठलीतरी शक्ति आपल्या आकलनाच्या पलीकडे काहीतरी विचार, मन, व्यक्ती, परिस्थिती “निर्माण” करते. एका विशीष्ट सरमिसळ स्तरांमुळे आपल्याला सध्याची बौद्धिक जाणीव उत्पन्न होते. ती जाणीव एक स्वाभाव घेऊन वावरते (स्वाभाव = अनंत चक्र) आणि अनेक संकल्पना निर्माण करत राहते आणि आपल्याला सैर्बैर करते.

आपण कश्याला घाबरतो? मुळात घाबरणे तरी काय भावना आहे? आणि ती निर्माण का होते? आणि तीच रुपांतर स्वछ प्रेमात होऊ शकेल का? ह्याच उत्तर काय असावं? कसं शोधाव?

मला वाटत कि जिकडे वृत्ती प्रमाणे आपण वागत सुटतो, ते अभिमानाला कारणीभूत ठरत आणि सगळे आकार वेग-वेगळे वाटायला लागतात आणि तसच आपल वर्तन होत जात. जेव्हा अशी जाणीव उत्पन्न होते, ती आपल्याला जन्मास घालते आणि आपण शुद्ध अस्तित्वाला ‘विसरतो’ (म्हणजे की कुठल्यातरी भलत्याच संकल्पनेला चिटकून राहतो). त्या भलत्याच संकल्पनाचे परिणाम म्हणजे अहंकार आणि भीती. गारवा जसा नितळ पाण्याला “गोठून” बर्फ करतो, तसं भगवंताला “गोठून” आपण जीव म्हणून जन्मास येतो. ह्याचाच अर्थ असा कि आपल्या आत भगवंत गोठलेला आहे – त्याची शक्ति सुप्त रुपात आहे. ती शक्ति प्रज्वलित करून आपण परत नितळ पाणी व्यायच असत.

सार दृश्य जग अस गोठलेल्या अवस्थेत दिसतं राहत जिथे आपला अनुभव आणि प्रक्रिया त्या प्रमाणे हालचाल करत राहतात आणि सत्य स्वरूप झाकून टाकतात.   

गोठणे हि क्रिया अहंकारामुळे येते आणि विलीन होणे हि क्रिया प्रेमामुळे येते. संत म्हणतात कि नामस्मरणाने आपली गोठलेली अवस्था शेवटी भगवंतामध्ये विलीन होते.

I think that the most important learning is not to take thoughts personally tied to ‘you’ but a vibration that happens in consciousness and seems to translate into your action. Translation is the making of a phenomenon  - since that happens by default; creation or manifestation occurs and we occur in the process. In this translation or occurrence, memory also undergoes a transformation and all states that result in our memory affect us but to what extent and how and why remains a mystery to us – so in a nutshell, the aspect of control is a sort of illusion  - it will always be a collaborated effort between you and the Creator!

This means that for human perception, there is a role of ‘effort’; there is a role of ‘trusting’ the process of becoming or unfolding (regardless of whatever we may feel); there is a role of ‘hope and love’. One must remember and practice this at all times.

No matter how much disturbing existence may feel or be perceived because of change or events or situations, the painful meaning is a ‘construct’ and that means nothing is the end of the phenomenal world. Painful perception does change into something different and how or why it does is a matter of mystery in which countless number of forces may be at play – from our efforts of REBT, communication, action to other intangible events. Hence we work at three levels – tangible efforts with full dedication, trust that things will eventually be good and presence of God. These three steps become ‘positive’ action for us and that will mean “transformation” of the mind. What situation is there; is there. What changes occur; will occur. What birth is there; is there. What relations become created; get created. What is; is. I accept all. And in acceptance there is no judgment or evaluation of self or others; there is only engagement; there is only action and there is only love and hope.

Action. This is the Truth.

श्री: गती आणि श्रद्धा

श्रीची शक्ति खूप सूक्ष्म, दृश्यातीत आणि अनंत असते – तिचा परिणाम कसा होत राहतो आकारात हे सांगता येत नाही किवा पूर्णपणे कळत नाही आपल्या मनाला. म्हणजे शुद्ध अस्तित्वाची उपस्थिती आणि परिणाम आणि आपला हेतू हे वेगळे भासत राहतात म्हणून श्रीची उपस्थिती आपल्या असण्यामध्ये कळत नाही. तरीही अट्टहास करून ती हाती लागेल अस काही ठोसपणे सांगता येत नाही. जे होतं ते चांगल्यासाठी होत असत हि भावना आत निर्माण करायला हवी. चांगलं म्हणजे जि काही गती अनुभवायला मिळते, जो काही बदल दिसतं राहतो, जे काही कृत्य असंख्य आकार करत राहतात, त्या मध्ये भगवंत विराजमान आहे, दुसरा-तिसरा कुणीही नाही.

गती किवा प्रारब्ध किवा अनुभव किवा बदल – ह्या गोष्टी सारखे आहेत – तसे ह्या गोष्टी निर्माण होत राहणार आणि बदलत राहणार – त्यातून आपली कारकिर्दी, विचार, हेतू, असण्याची काही गरज आहे का? गतीतून आपण ठरत नाही आणि स्वतःबद्दलच मत निर्माण करण्याची गरज नाही. म्हणजे कि निर्माण होणे हि एक प्रकारची क्रिया आहे, कार्य आहे जे कुणावरही अवलंबून नाही – ती होत असते. हे पचनी व्हायला हव आणि त्याचाच असतो अभ्यास.

श्रद्धा हि एक मोठी शक्ति आहे जि आपल्याला वरील सत्याकडे आणते. श्रद्धा अंगी बाणायला जो वेळ लागेल तो आपण देऊ या. ती कशी, कुठे आणि कुठल्या परिस्थितीत निर्माण होईल ते देवावर सोडणे. आपण फक्त त्याची आठवण सोडू नये.

Thoughts

 

Shree: Intellect and Peace

Shree, in the morning and in this phenomenal world, a thought arose that intellect tries to perceive a variable and forms a causal sequence finally expecting itself to become perfect or stable or calm or to be able to control everything. It is its behavior. And any sort of behavior (such as in this case) however “need not and does not” indicate the Truth  - Your Existence. This means that intellect derives its behavior and existence from You and is not something independent by itself. This leads to another dimension of life – acceptance and trusting an action or decision and crediting it to You (the pure process itself/ of becoming). Anything becomes, no doubt. Existance is all about “being and becoming”. Pure or absolute Existence becomes steady without a name or a form or a character – which is You. Anything ‘else’ apart from Your state of being, vibrates and becomes itself into a visible form of force or matter. In the process, many things about perception, awareness, memory, and Principles (scale, proportion, textures etc.) change and behave differently according to those states. What we perceive are Your Principles in various forms of becoming. An ‘object’ or a ‘situation’ or a ‘person’ or ‘words’ or ‘action’ or ‘thought’ – anything, has all Principles of Your Existence. If Principles are understood as they are supposed to, then I become You, else I perceive and take some other form of becoming or existing. Regardless of wherever I land or whatever I become, I still am created from Your Principles, so my existence entirely depends on You.

This can be dissected or analyzed (as a process of creation) by the intellect but would it offer peace?! This is the fundamental query I have. This means that the question indicates that peace is independent of any amount of variables “found” or “unearthed” – peace does NOT depend on our ability to unearth variables at appropriate time and space. In other words, peace is unconditional and non visible and non vibrating. Another word for this is bliss or ‘love’ without any reason.

Hence to become You or to know You or to feel You means to become Love and hence to go beyond the intellect or any dimension of manifestation.

If this aspect of bliss is known then full and complete trust on Your Existence will definitely make us or convert us into bliss.

Shree: Personal

Many years ago, I read an article from the field of psychology that an American woman may seem extremely comfortable to be naked in a public space without any ‘hint’ of become concerned who is observing her. On the face of it, this seems to be a philosophical achievement – to do what you wish to do without basing your actions on any sort of approval – in above case the idea of self and the public.

I have come to infer that this was not the case. A person, who is neck deep into information explosion (or in the sea of knowledge) will always remain ‘floating., clueless, anchorless, mistful” and hence the effect of “being bothered or even concerned about anything” will not even arise! This will indicate to us that being concerned also has got to do with upbringing, context, awareness, how one learns, social dimensions, environment and so on. Hence different places make different cultures and different forms of behavior and action.

In all this variety however, our ability is to find a commonality – which is however implicit and subtle and not obvious and visual. To find a commonality means to extend our awareness beyond limits of everything existence imposes and to reach (and become) the Principles themselves.

The issue with information reaching us from many quarters of the world is about relevance and context of perceiving the images. We are not aware of the context or only “see” those images from our limited perspectives and this causes misinterpretation of the intent of action (or personal interpretation of action at a personal level). How true are these images? What is true? What does truth mean? Who or what defines truth? Why should truth be important? Are we ourselves true in our existence?

Hopefully these questions ought to be inquired by everyone of us.

Hari Om.

विचारांचा उगम हे अस्तित्वाच्या शक्तीतून किवा भगवंतामुळे होतो. आपल्याला ते विचारांच्या प्रभावामुळे दिसतं नाही किवा जाणवत नाही. ते पटवता येत नाही किवा अनुभवता येत नाही (मनाच्या शक्तीने). कितीही स्पष्टीकरण दिलं आणि त्यातले घटक स्पष्ट होत गेले, तरी हेतू मावळला पाहिजे. जो पर्यंत स्व चा हेतू असेल, तो पर्यंत निर्मिती होत राहणार आणि विचारांची (किवा वृत्तींची) धारा उद्भवत राहणार. म्हणजे शक्ति खूप सूक्ष्म आणि विशाल असते, जि भावनांना, विचारांना आणि आकारांना निर्माण करते आणि बदल घडवून आणते आणि त्या गोष्टी लीन होऊन जातात. इथे एक समन्वय समजून घ्यायला हव – सूक्ष्म होणे म्हणजेच विशाल (किवा सर्व व्यापी) होणे. नाहीस होणे किवा न दिसणे म्हणजे सूक्ष्म नाही. सूक्ष्म आणि विशाल एखादी भावना झाली कि त्या आकारच अस्तित्व “इतर” स्थितीना/ जीवांना “दिसतं” नाही/ अनुभवता येत नाही. “इतर” हि संकल्पना सुद्धा भावना मध्ये दडलेली आहे. सूक्ष्म झालो कि सर्व जीव वेगळे वाटत नाही – एकच सत्यातून येत आहेत अस पटत. म्हणजे आपले डोळे काय बघतात आणि त्यावरून कुठला अनुभव आपण स्वतः मध्ये निर्माण करतो – त्यावरून आपली स्थिती सूक्ष्म आहे कि स्थूल आहे, हे समजून घेता येत आणि त्यावरून स्वतःच्या विचारांचा आणि भावनांचा “स्वभाव” समझतो. त्याला विवेक म्हणू शकू (analysis). विवेक वापरून काय करायला हव हे कळू शकेल, तरीही त्या वाटेवरून जातांना अनुभवांची खात्री देता येत नाही. त्यावरून अस स्वीकारायला हरकत नाही कि आपल्याला खरं स्वरूप कळायचं आहे अस्तित्वाच.

दोन संकल्पना इथे उपस्थित करत आहे – “स्व” म्हणजेच अस्तित्वाची स्थिती. मग ती आपल्याला शरीर म्हणून जाणवते कि मन म्हणून कि वृत्ती म्हणून कि शुद्ध शक्ति म्हणून  - हि जाणिवेची वाटचाल आहे. जाणीव स्थूल आणि दृश्य पासून ते सूक्ष्म आणि विशाल होण्याला महत्व आहे.

ह्या प्रक्रीये मध्ये स्मृती/ स्मरणाची भूमिका बदलत जाते. आपण दृश्य झालो आहोत म्हणून एका पद्धतीने आपण अस्तित्वाच किवा आपल्या व्यवहाराच स्मरण करतो. त्या मध्ये भगवंताच स्मरण पूर्णपणे विसरायला होत. त्याला अभिमान म्हणतात. आत्मा हि वस्तू आपल्या स्मरणात आली, कि दृश्याच विस्मरण होत.

म्हणजे आपण अस म्हणू शकतो कि अस्तित्व हि स्मरणाची भूमिका आहे. ज्या जीवाला भगवंताच स्मरण झाल तो जीव म्हणून आकारास येत नाही परत – तो विलीन होतो, त्याची स्मरण शक्ति स्थिरावते.

Shree: Form

 

Shree: Form

Form. It is a translation of One medium of consciousness into some vibration (vibration to force to visibility or body or senses) and this translation causes ‘form’ to appear, change, be aware and perceive itself or the movement in terms of Principles of Existence (scale, proportion, transition, hierarchy, connections, relations, analysis, synthesis, expansion and so on). All this makes things visible and this visibility is either guarded or evolved based on one’s remembering of intensity above reality.

So are we a form or are we a web or are we pure Existence? since things keep changing (in our current state of being) the intellect (as a dimension of existence) may only have a part of the answer. The Truth is to be realized. Why? I don’t know. I mean it cannot be realized for ‘fixing’ a problem. Problem is a state of existence where intellect and feelings and a body exists. Fixing is an attitude of clinging. Expansion is an effort to connect in the same situation through Principles of Existence. Yet all of this is not just logical but quite mysterious and only effort and grace and trust are the requirements in this journey.

The first thing is to come to accepting that ‘I’ am on a journey and since the journey is in constant motion, I need not be afraid of perception and trusting is to be maintained along the way.

श्री: बिंदू असायला हवा का?

 

श्री: बिंदू असायला हवा का?

बिंदूचा शोध नसावा. सर्व जीवन हे एक स्थिती आहे अस्तित्वाची (कार्य आहे, आनंद आहे) म्हणून ते सुरु आणि शेवट कुठे होत आणि कुठे सापडत आणि कुठल्या स्थितीत आणि कुठल्या वेळेला – हे सारे विश्लेषण घटक राहतात. वास्तविक शांत होणे म्हणजे ह्या प्रश्नांच्या पलीकडे जाणे आणि आपली शांतता ह्या प्रश्नांवर निर्भर नाही होऊ देणे. म्हणजेच कि शांतता श्रद्धेची क्रिया ठरते, बुद्धीची नाही. किवा श्रद्धा बुद्धीच्या पलीकडे असते, त्याच्या मुळाशी जाते आणि शांततेला कुठलाही गुण स्पर्श करत नाही.

म्हणजेच कि आपल जीवन अपूर जरी भासल, तशी बुद्धीची समजूत आहे आणि म्हणून बुद्धीच्या तर्काने विचार केला तर भीती, चिंता आणि त्रास होणार. पाहिलं हे का ते, अस करू का ते करू, इथे जाऊ का तिथे जाऊ, ते खाऊ का हे खाऊ, असंख्य काम करू का एक काम करू – ते पूर्णत्वाच्या मागे जात राहत आणि बेचैन होत.

वास्तवीक “बिंदू” नसणार, कारण तसं जर असत तर निर्मितीच झाली नसती आणि विचार किवा भावना उद्भवलेल्या नसत्या! किवा “बिंदू” ह्याचाच अर्थ कि बदल होणे आणि अपुर असणे. मी आलोच मुळी दृश्यात, तर सुख दृश्यामधून कसं मिळेल आणि तृप्त पद्री कस पडेल? हा विचार आत खोलवर पाचला कि एका वेगळ्याच पद्धतीने शांततेचा शोध सुरु होतो, ज्यामध्ये परिवर्तन होण्याला महत्व आहे.

कुठल्याही प्रश्नांची उत्तरे माहीत नसून सुद्धा शांत राहता येत. आपल्याला काय वाटत असत ते सांगता जरी नाही आल आणि दुसर्यांना कळल नाही आणि बदल होत राहिला तरी त्याने आपल सिद्ध होणे किवा गुण धर्म ठरणे – अस काही होत नाही. शांतता कुणावर किवा काश्यावरही निर्भर नसते. ती ज्याने-त्याने स्वतः मिळवायची असते. मिळवण्याचे मार्ग असंख्य.

कुणी काहीही बोलल त्याने आपण ठरत नाही आणि मनाला लाऊन घेण्याचीही गरज नसते आणि त्याही पलीकडे सिद्ध करण्याचीही गरज नसते – हे सर्व विचार देहबुद्धीतून उमटतात. आपल्याला उत्तर किवा सत्यपणा माहीत नाही (बुद्धीला) म्हणून न्यून बाळगण्याची गरज नाही – त्याने कुणी न्यून ठरत नाही. कुणी कुठे पळून जात नाही आणि वेळ संपत नाही आणि स्थितीही. जे काही आहे तो बदल आहे, अनुभव आहे आणि भगवंत आहे. सर्व भगवंत करतो.

श्रद्धा असावी.

Shree: Pattern

 

Shree: Pattern

Some people are consumed by their own thought patterns. In a truest sense, a pattern is not human specific but exhibits a Principle of Life – that which comes from consciousness and manifests through scale, proportions, imaginations, movement, thoughts, feelings, transitions, balance, relations and so on. This is the language of expression. And this Principle makes all forms  - one of them is a human form.

The question is what pattern is one ‘hooked onto’? Patterns exist and they will change bodies for many lives till the pattern transcends into becoming pure consciousness. I can sense that when one speaks, there are many patterns through which one interprets what is being said or felt and responded. Hence depending on the pattern, we feel life around us.

Now this pattern is so complex and subtle and coming from the web of consciousness that one can’t make out the trigger of what one is compelled to do unless one remains calm and sees the pattern as a “whole” of consciousness. This is the impact of the pattern on making ‘us’ and making us perceive life in some way to which, we cling, assuming that we do everything.

This assumption is a kind of pattern that requires transcendnce to evolve a pattern of consciousness. This  language then, means a language of Existence and of awareness.

A Pattern Language is an example of the above phenomenon. So might be the same idea said by Carl Jung. So seems also to be expressed by Ar. Loius Kahn.

Shree: Principles of Existing and Manifesting

 

Shree: Principles of Existing and Manifesting 

Justification of any kind, even about self, variable identification, sequencing is not required. That is the working of the mind. The working creates intent of balancing, projections, impressions, sorting, analysis, establishing hierarchy or a priority, transitions, movement, pace, scales, proportions and so on. it seems to be a property by which manifestation appears or gets perceived. And this perception again causes certain feelings in us. Conversely even if vibrations get created, they find an expression as intellect and feelings through scale, proportions, movement, imagination, change, hierarchy, transition, order, change and so on. These seem to be the Principles of Manifestation – or something that offers visibility to Consciosuness.  Since they are an integral part of manifestation, they will be reflected in all forms of life, and fields of study.

The discovery is that when these principles find a perfect expression in our mind, they dissolve or become steady to reveal consciousness which offers perfect unconditional bliss. Discovery means realization of these Principles that achieve alignment to expand awareness to become One. Else Principles exist regardless of anything. But if there is non alignment, there is apprehension, fear, dependence, anger, frustration, any form or compartments etc – something that sucks out life. Alignment offers expansion and liberating life.

Perhaps we perceive everything either as aligned to consciousness or something else – if it is not aligned, then we impose our own meaning from the same vocabulary  - something as a colour – onto a clear water. Hence no object becomes neutral but triggers the same principles in our mind in whatever state they are and that is the manner in which a meaning to the object gets created.

In Primitive Architecture, as tribes in tundra region, a whale is not felt neutral but there is a division of parts of the whale signifying the relationship of different tribes among themselves that decide which part is to be take by whom – same would be about design planning, forms, territory and so on.

As we were speaking today about auditorium seating, there is an inbuilt hierarchy of front rows of seats, middle seating and back seating and balcony and so on – establishing contemporary imagination of the Principles of Manifestation. The Principles may exhibit socio-political dimension or cultural or historical or more than that. More expansive are these Principles, more perhaps intuitive and fundamental they become.

Shree: Creation

 

Shree: Creation

 

We are created, the start point of which is a mystery to the intellect but not to the Soul which is within us. All knowledge, knowing, potential, blissfulness and steadiness is within the core of us – what is perceived or seen or imagined or felt or sensed is an extension or translation of this absolute reality. This awareness  - the process that is undertaken to realize the Truth is variable or unique to the individual ‘form’ and all forms arrive at this realization in different ways. The journey is unqiue, challenges are unique and that is how manifestation is. God appears as all vibrations, forces, forms (or a web) and whatever is seen or perceived or changed or thought or felt comes from the One Source that gives rise to multiple forms.

This means forms are a construct of the mind, they change and remain interdependent – so all is always a construct or an illusion or an apparent sight. Whetehr this OR that is the intellect’s behavior under this phenomenon of existence, just as emotions flip here or there, just as analysis is done, just as something appears and generates some response based on a relationship we make – all is “made” or “created” within this phenomenon and this creation of ‘us’ also happens by God.

Realizing the Truth can be by many ways from scientific or artistic to pure action or crafts or any other way. Hence in tribal architecture, imagination can include cosmogony, cosmos, ancestors, geography, wisdom, values, social dimensions, gender, activities and built manifestation. The realization is important and the ‘how’ becomes a story in that realization. I am not sure if the same imagination holds true for me (perhaps it does not) but the basic reality of cosmic existence holds true even now without any thought or doubt or logic or a process. That I doubt is something that requires resolution from my end to go beyond this vibration that transforms or dissolves my specific perception into the One medium. In this process, the ‘how’ gets crafted along the way. One step at a time.

Secondly all things that materialize or are perceived come from a very deep source of existence and many, many connections or forces make a form or a situation and again there is nothing like an instant confirmation or an answer. So relax in all vibrations that come, form and go – we need not hold on to any change or form or character or a form or a vibration.

Thirdly the question is ‘why’ is thought created? We belive that perfecting the ‘mind’ in vibrations and sequences, perfection (or peace) can be achieved. Peace in phenomenal world maybe possible, but the process of becoming bliss is not mind oriented. To think of perfecting the mind is a huge unsettled burden that can remain in turmoil regardless of any situation (always worried, hyper, action oriented, fixing things, flipping and so on). All actions in the visible world are because of this restlessness and to think and analyse the restlessnesss means to focus on the same and to continue being restless.

Situation may be anything, it is upto me”how” I wish to engage with the situation (meaning creation and response). Somone says something or does something or I do something wioth some intent  - what is the core of all these actions? Is it justification, defense etc.? and if it is, then why choose to think in this way? And if compelled to continue in this way, what is the idea of reality one is holding onto?

Slowly, one becomes calm by addressing the questions and the journey one undertakes. I do not think we are responsible for anything the motion appears, not even space or time or compulsions or vibrations of any kind.

Articulating the Truth is no logical way to attaining peace since it is even beyond articulation and thought. Silence and calmness is regardless of anything and anything I am or do. I can be calm. Trust.

आपण बुद्धी मध्ये अडकायला नाही पाहिजे. बुद्धी अशी गोष्ट आहे कि ती विषय निर्माण करते, अस का, तसं का, कधी, कुठे, कोणी, स्थळ, काळ वगैरे अश्या सारी संकल्पना त्या विषयावर “लादते” किवा त्यावरून अर्थ निर्माण करते आणि तो विषय फुगवते. हा बुद्धीचा नैसर्गिक गुण असला हवा. तरीही, त्यातून निष्पन्न काय होत तर सुख आणि दुख आणि ह्या सर्व वैचारिक धारणेला “देह बुद्धी” संबोधित केल असावं. भक्ती किवा आत्मबुद्धी म्हणजे विषय सोडण्याची शक्ति निर्माण होणे किवा त्यात न गुंतणे किवा विषय आणि “मी” अस समन्वय करण्याची गरज नसणे किवा शांत होणे किवा पलीकडचे होणे किवा भगवंत होणे.

आकार काही वेगळे नसतात – सर्व वस्तूंमध्ये जे निरनिराळे आकार आपल्या मनाला वाटतात, त्यात एकच सत्य विलसित असत – तेच सगळीकडे सारखेपणाने पसरलेलं असत – तर आकाराला का चिटकून राहणे? सर्व बदलांच्या पाठीमागे, सर्व गोष्टींच्या मागे, सर्व स्थळ आणि काळ आणि कृती च्या मागे तोच एक भगवंत आहे.

त्याचा परिणाम जीवनात कसा उमटायला हवा? दृश्य जगाबद्दलची विशेष ओढ नसणे. कार्य होत राहणे आणि सर्व गोष्टींवर अमाप श्रद्धा असणे. आपली इच्छा किवा संकल्पना स्थळ, काळ, परिस्थिती, व्यक्ती, जीव, आकार – ह्याच्या पलीकडे जाणे/ होणे/ असणे. एखादी गोष्ट केव्हाही आणि कुठेही आणि  कुठल्याही हातांनी आणि कुठल्याही आकारात घडू देणे. त्यावरून आपण ठरत नाही आणि आपली शांतता त्यावर निर्भर नाही. ह्याचा अर्थ कार्य करतांना मार्यादित हेतू नसणे – तोच हेतू सर्वव्यापी होऊ देणे. म्हणजे स्थळ आणि काळला आकाराचा अट्टाहास सोडणे, काहीही समोर येऊ देणे, कुठलाही अनुभव घेण्याची होकारात्मक  भूमिका पत्करणे, कुठलाही वेग स्वीकारणे वगैरे.

In short, we are not at all defined by any imagined sequence of motion – of us, self, past, future, feelings, intellect, materials, growth, action – they do not limit us or bind us. Why am I here and where am I going – is not a question to make ourselves bounded. I am here. I have become something and I am evolving – whateer the form of that evolution takes.
