Shree: Drifting

Some days are organic – as if one swims according to where the tide takes one. The subject, concerns, intents, actions can drift in any direction and that is all ok I feel. Some of the things which were felt today during conversations were –

Things are clear in one’s mind does not necessarily mean they are imagined in the same sequence and meaning by others. This means that despite clarity of expression from your end, a person may be required to take his/her time for digesting what has been communicated in intent. The more important learning is that it should not mean anything personal about “how” things were communicated and exchanged – neither to the person nor to you. One need not feel offended in what manner communication transpires and that exchange is in no way required to be evaluated or judged or labelled. In any case it happens ‘by default’ (this evaluation) YET, one should train to suspend this subtle thought of evaluation. Again, this may mean sometimes things are reuired to be said logically, sequentially, metaphorically and so on  - there is no fixed rule to this.

Also, it is not at all binding to prove a point or a difference of opinion  - this is a false notion and why is this notion entertained is a mystery – just like many other things that get unnecessarily entertained and casue serious self harm and a burden. I am not responsible for any change and neither am I the change. If change happens, it is all incidental and whatever change happens is always required, despite whatever one may feel about one’s role! In other words, ‘relax’.

The third point is that there are always going to be pressures of time, space, action and existence – but all of this is a construct and it depends on what gives ‘peace’ to an individual. However peace is not a personal idea – it is an experience that ought to raise connection with the environment. In what manner it raises a connection is entirely a matter of intuition and highly relative and one formula may not at all be applicable for the other person. For one person, it may all be about time management; but for the other it may be entirely about feelings. Both are valid and both are required to be seen as valid positions of knowing and becoming the Truth.

The fourth point is that during discussions, one may realize that one does not have any answers to anything at present and almost all things are required to be discovered. That does not mean that one has lost the time; or what was done preciously was foolish or what ought to be done henceforth should be done immediately to bring about a change or anything else for that matter. Realization is about essense of Being and not about subsequent perception of past and future. One does not lose any time or gain time – all is already there. One only realizes. One only ought to become steady.

The fifth point is that some way or the other people communicate concerns happening at a very deeper level. This means deeper feelings have some mysterious ways of surfacing and as they surface, their character changes. If you hear only the surfacing of words, then the entire point may get missed. If you are relaxed and observing of what seems to be happening then the concerns are ‘felt’ and that generates empathy between the two people. This feeling of empathy is a glue in relationships. It should be felt, regardless of any situation. Again how that happens, is a mystery.

One can see the above things from philosophical perspective. All things one sees, observes is happening from the point of view of one’s existential being – the vibrations dictate the manner in which one interprets situations. Now these are reuired to become steady, only then the angle of empathy and transcendence would materialize in the self. This perhaps may not mean to gain experience by years (although that may also happen), but it is also a conscious training to the mind. Finally existence works its ways through us – it has to be accepeted
