Shree: Diversity

Shree: Diversity

 

Existence becomes in motion – as diversity. The same truth of being gets manifested as related and interconnected diverse forces and forms. This is obvious, so no matter how much ever a form may appear different from you, both are products of the same truth that “compliment” eachother and need not be seen as competing with one another.

That is the point. We believe that an answer to something or a solution can be permanent and a uniform solution is applicable for all – that goes against the basic rules of existence. There is no standard answer to a quality of life in terms of any field or system, although there are as many approaches to realize quality as there are people.

Many attempts have been incorporated by developed nations to bring a single worldview onto people – with disastrous consequences which they would not admit. At the forefront is the belief in the harmful cocktail of rationality, logic, technology, progress, individuality “at any cost”. This will not work. And the failure to recognize this aspect is our failure to understand how life behaves.

Individuality has costs us built environment, erosion of cultural values, public spaces, increased bureaucratic control, apathy of people, weird sense of individuality and loneliness and increased surveillance among other things and exploitation of all life forms (including humans).

To work efficiently means to acknowledge diversity, not to erase it and and not to confirm to only one point of view.

Shree: Pattern

 

Shree: Pattern

Understanding of “pattern” starts with the self – a measure of things as they are and what they will be and how they are interconnected. This is an idea of how existence is. However the idea may be an expression of existence, but to “become” the idea itself means to realize the feeling; realize the thought and realize the action. The greatest and the absolute pattern is of absolute existence  - of consciousness – which is complete, eternal, beyond everything, One, blissful and non vibrating but full of potential and knowledge. This pattern generates many other interlinked patterns that convey a different picture of existence (depending on the nature of the pattern that is created). The grossest of those patterns having the smallest circumference and onto itself  - is that of manifestations of visible “forms” and in this our awareness of the body is included. We are currently involved or engaged in this pattern of being and hence experience various kinds of perceptions. The awareness is required to make us realize that there are “other subtle patterns” that inform our world of being and those behave and are interlinked in different ways. Hence what makes things and the very nature of the things and what forces act of those and dissolve those are questions hinting at “beyond”  - something not very immediate and which cannot be explained by known patterns.

Now to become these patterns is all about trusting that these do exist evenif they may not be seen. “Seeing” is applicable for our pattern but for other subtle patterns, we require different ways of seeing. Seeing, currently, has become a property of the pattern that suggests that “I am independent and think and feel in a different way” and hence see objects in that spirit. If that attitude changes to an interlinking pattern, then what I would be seeing and feeling will become different and so would the responses.

The pattern that we express currently, in other words, has been “inherited” from many other eternally operating patterns and hence those subtle patterns need to unfold to us, so we understand the true spirit of inheritance and do not take things for granted. We have only inherited things but have no right pver the in absolute sense! So inheritance is a gift to know the truth.

One has to surrender and trust God or that medium of creation completely. Incompleteness and the necessity to act are inherited in the phenomenon of becoming something and that will make me experience many things - sometimes even terrible. What I experience I have no absolute control other than helping me to realize the true nature of existence. The only thing that matters is realization of God within. And for this to matter, it may take a while and a series of experiences to reach this state of being. The external events have nothing to do with how much accessible the inner truth will be or reveal itself. These are independent, although the way to truth is through the phenomenal world. That does not mean that the external world is to be acknowledged or rejected. There is no position here. The external world only is one dimension of the same truth. And hence whatever we are searching is to be the truth itself.

Things get perceived and this act of perception has many states behind the mere physical. With each state, a transformation of what is thought happens and it finally reaches the vibrations. Conversely vibrations also lead to creation of perception of the phenomenal world. This happens eternally without the knowledge of visible world and hence to reach the Truth of Being, phenomenal knowledge has very limited use. The logic of phenomenon does not work in the same way as the inner world and hence a process of trust is recommended to take us deep within ourselves. This too, is to be learnt.

Hari Om.

Shree: Peace

 

Shree: Peace

A precise description or an analysis of phenomena or even that of perception does not necessarily indicate what ought to be done for peace. Nothing needs to be “done” for peace. Peace already is there – our vibrations create a sense of temporariness. It seems great to read the concerns of anthropologists and their efforts in understanding the perceptions created or applied or practiced by pre modern world. And yet, it represents an analysis indicating that maybe some worldviews are more comprehensive than others. But what about ‘designing process’ – the act of synthesizing? 

And in synthesizing, one is not necessarily prescribing to the most ideal forms of sequencing the thoughts – a ‘form’ is not merely (or perhaps cannot be) a logical extension of a perfectly sequenced of, so called, tangible thoughts! And if anyone is ‘searching’ the form from this point of view, then what one may end up doing (or creating) is not so wonderful architecture! There is also a problem, I feel at times, regarding the usage of the word ‘ expression’ – as if one wants to ‘prove’ a certain form of expression! Or prove how an expression occurs in a particular way! 

Expression need not mean proving anything at all (which may become difficult in current times!). And from that aspect, synthesizing may also mean not necessarily to be ‘right’ (politically or socially or culturally or on a humanitarian basis or whatever one thinks), but to “feel” a sense of connection and evoke a peaceful feeling.

That is all that is required – I feel. 

Hari Om.

Not a single attribute or a dimension of existence exists in isolation, be that intellect or feelings or body or forms or change or motion or anything else. Existence is all about “connections” or in fact Existence only Is. When it comes into manifestation, connections of various states materialize. Again, any given state does not exist in isolation and this is important since it means that what we see as something visible and analyze in terms of intellect and feelings has come from various states of becoming. These states, as one becomes more subtle, are interconnected, are expansive and forces operate in a different way in those states giving them their character. In a nutshell, the concept of “I” changes in each state and the manner in which memory would be operating. The world we perceive depends on the state of our mind, which is also interconnected wth everything else, but we don’t realize it. The realization is coloured by the forces that shape us – the workings of intellect and feelings and baser emotions. The origin of all feelings therefore comes from very deeper and subtle dimensions and not immediate, as may be easily mistaken.

Thus the advice is  - watch your thoughts – how they surface, from where do they come and connect and form something. This watching should not cause any urge for you to respond. Funnily, even when I use the word ‘you’; the thoughts have already done their effect and urged me to say something! This is how subtle, expansive and how fast things materialize internally in a continuous way.

The point is that ‘you’ is not some definite bounded form, but an interconnected force in the web operating in a particular manner. This force is also not independent but the web itself.

Thus whatever one does, the effects are far reaching in the inner world. The effects are not known by logic, but they are there waiting to materialize in any other form in another time zone and space zone. This is to be understood, since the journey of becoming pure will start only if this logic is clear.

Hari Om.

Shree: Presence

 

Shree: Presence

Every form of life, because it has been created as a phenomenon, will experience the behavior or existence of phenomenon in its own ways – dilemmas, struggles, connections, analysis, feelings, change, space and time – all are aspects of existence that are interdependent and hence are set in motion. We experience all of these things and that is to be seen as “natural” part of existence. The Source is the greatest cause of what happens in our lives and the meaning we attribute to whatever we feel, is through this Source.

The issue with the word ‘cause’ is that we look for effects and that engages us in a loop of things. Philosophically ‘cause’ is only a presence of a medium that “seems” to trigger  a variety of events. It is only a presence. It is only there. This Being which is there, affects or creates or manifests or causes or sets or moves or induces or acts – all these can be said as a “potential”. If the medium is only there, then the “states” are only there and hence the “cause” is only there and the “action” is only there. It is the same medium acting as different states which is only apparently perceived.

Hari Om.  

Shree: Inheritance

 

 

Shree: Inheritance

Dissolving the self happens by sharing and expressing all that one contains to the point that one becomes “beyond”. This is a process of evolution of the mind.

I think first of all, one ought to accept the mind as it is; with all its tantrums, projections, expectations, assumptions and perceptions. I am (which I feel currently) – the mind. The mind changes, is temporary, is informed by the senses and perceptions of space and time and creates imagination and develops a response…I am all of this. I do not know currently if there is anything beyond?...let us accept this reality as of now. Let us also accept that things may be existing even if they are not imagined by the mind. Mind is just “one” of the aspects of manifestation but not all! So, what is this variety I see; which changes; which interacts; which informs a response and so on? What is it that is within me that wishes to erupt?

Things will and should erupt. To expect things to dissolve and to declare the self as immaterial is undigestatle at present to me. So I start with a position that I will erupt and there is nothing wrong with this happening of eruption. Secondly, I am important. So I will express myself in whatever manner the inner world informs me. This is also natural! In this engagement, a time may occur wherein I will go beyond and only ‘be’. This evolution is also natural.

In all this struggle, expression and becoming, let us trust this process. This is the inheritance that I am.

Hari Om.

Engagement out of compulsion is a state of mind – I think it is above gross desires but knows that to go beyond tendencies requires efforts and is not just causal relationship and neither is it a yes or a no equation. It knows the cycle it creates but is yet to find an approach to go beyond the cycle. It oscillates between the forces of logic and faith – that which takes a form and that which goes beyond the form. Perhaps for me, currently, oscillation is a state of my mind – wanting to go beyond but knowing the pull of forms.

This is a struggle but for this struggle, I need not feel guilty or bad or blame anything. The struggle is within and not to be seen without. But who am I to control what others say about responses coming from me? Vibrations are subtle and far more eternal and vast than the immediate situation may imply. I am not in control of vibrations, I am not what they seem to form by erupting, I am not visible through vibrations and I am not temporary or changing as they seem to become. I am not described by them, and neither is the world known through them. Vibration is not the motto. I only am. All is God’s doing.

Hari Om.

Shree: Remembrance

 

 

Shree: Remembrance

A start is important regardless of the perception of situation that one has become. One has become, or inherited an existence of motion from consciousness, which will happen. I have taken a form from Silence or Space and I have set a relationship of motion and I have become connected with many states of existences. This is my unique position and of course it will change and is temporary and it is fleeting and there seem to be many gaps in this – all is a matter of perception that I hold onto as a concept of identity or some form. So it becomes a station or a pause point in the journey of manifesting and dissolving. I take a form from eons of lives and others seem to do it too and I take on relationships. The external form is not the truth – it is a construct or an imagination having boundaries. A boundary is particular but the forces behind the boundary seem eternal and long term. This cycle goes on – coming and going and hence what is the necessity of action?

An action can get defined, whatever its form, but remembering the nature of existence is important, no matter how feeble or inaccurate that remembrance is. Remembrance is going to happen by a given form of existence and hence it is going to keep evolving till Silence or Bliss is achieved.

I am called to act – I am called to perceive space and time and rules and action. I am called to decide and undertake action.

Hari Om.

Shree: Inheritance

Shree: Inheritance

Things are never in black and white in a phenomenon – neither a vacuum nor completely filled with objects. A vibration is a force that converts consciousness into phenomenon and back to consciousness and collectively or because of which – all kinds of flow and movement and change are caused or felt. This means there is no start point of anything neither is there an end point and there is not an isolated point for anything that one can single out! This is the manner in which things happen, get conceived, are perceived and responded. We have this, as our inherited situation and this requires being aware of the same without any conditions or purpose. The inheritance and the vibrations have come a lomg way to ‘us’ and the momentum of these is too subtle and strong – hence the process of realization is also extremely long term. Awareness means realizing. And realizing means transforming the self.

By doing anything specific, I don’t think that the riddle of pressure or loss or change or space or time is resolved. As long as some thoughts are created, a pressure to perceive, respond and act exists. Creation is a property of God, which makes “us” or our “thoughts” and this process does not have any logic or cannot be traced back to the origin and hence the process of knowing the Truth is more than just logical application of a concept or an imagination. Imagination is a phenomenon and by definition, all things of phenomenon are governed by Principles of Being and this imagination is so strong that it makes us act on all live journeys undertaken so far. It is strong, means it is very subtle and eternal and hence the answer to all things that we perceive are not necessarily contained in a moment but beyond the moment itself. This answer, at times, is unknowable or an aspect of trust only and hence a flavor of phenomenon is noumenon too, as a base.

In our lives, we will become confused, filled with dilemma and frustration and may regret the past or worry about the future – as a sequence of acting – all is a construct of the self (as a phenomenon of God). There is no answer to a perfect action, since we are born in a situation of change and temporariness. To be born is a state of movement and to die also represents the same thing and no matter what, one cannot avoid these movements – we will experience them and hence the role of guilt and worry or anger. We are made to go through them for unknown reasons of course and hence the attitude of handling this journey ought to become much, much more sober and accepting. We can only choose to act in the best possible manner for ensuring peace of mind. Action is given and the rest is upto the power of Existence!

Existence has many dimensions, the chief among them is that “It is always there” without any reason or a purpose or a motive or a context or a condition. Hence this reality percolates into many states of forms and undergoes a transformation in its property. Then somewhere the memory operates in a different way, relations happen in a different way and this difference seems to cause and make us perceive change.

For anything that one perceives, sees or thinks or imagines or feels – the expression of such imagination seem to always be in space and time language, there is a concern of intellect, feelings that are expressed in terms of interconnected objects placed in space and a movement that happens within in. Therefore any such arrangement is triggered by vibrations of Existence. If vibrations are tranquil, then the expression will confirm to that feel.

In reality, the nature of existence takes on a physical and awareness of a form. Perhaps there is no such thing as “only” physical! Because physical reality is seen or because visibility is seen, all the reality is also “felt” – in a nutshell, both aspects are related, hierarchical, sequential, parallel and convertible and finally one and the same. There is a merging of both these dimensions into One. Hence to know the Truth, a Principle may be said or expressed in terms of an “idea” (idea diagram or an idea model), but to “become” the Truth, we are required to transform through the medium of mind/ feelings/ vibrations.

Knowing and becoming are two different things and they are also contained within one another.

The fundamental trigger of creating anything is vibration, from which any form “emerges” (or is imagined or made true or comes into some character). This creation is NOT the property of any form or any phenomenon BUT is an aspect of Existence and hence it keeps happening and this trait is shared across all space-time fabric. As an aspect of Existence, when “we become”, we tend to associate with a part of the truth (or a limited version or something that is a subset of reality) and this association makes us perceive forms and movement and change and dependence and obviously respond or stay engaged accordingly. Hence the search for a start point and refining oneself begins in this situation of limited perception and tends finally to come to the Truth, although the journey maybe anything but sweet.

Whatever is seen is therefore recycled, continuous, eternal, evolved form, refined, added, subtracted, connected, related  - anything. “Newness” is a state of perception just as continuity is. If continuity is the essence, then all things, change, dependence, actions, fruits, responses come from the fundamental cause of consciousness. We may look at causal relationships, or hierarchies, or sequences or evolution or cyclic patterns, or feelings or intellect or a body (as such) but that is our way of making sense of our place in the world of existence (consider idea diagrams by tribal people or even when Louis Kahn mentions that all things only wait to happen).

We are made of a mix of all things from vibrations leading to forces (mind) to a body to all concepts. Naturally there is a lot of turmoil going within. The point is that whatever we have inherited, one can look at it as an opportunity or a chance or an event to come to terms with consciousness. Inheritance is something we don’t have absolute control, neither can we define nor can we predict. The concept of “we” itself is incidental part of phenomenon and not ‘real’ in that sense. So why should we worry about anything? Why not just work with full force and accept whaever comes or happens or unfolds?

It is natural of course to be worried and play as per whatever that seems to trigger for us. But can something be done about this tendency? Can an equilibrium be achieved? Can acceptance take place? Can peace be realized?

This is the search and the journey. The journey is for the self and not for any outside evaluation.

At our level, truth as one absolute medium is revealed or unfolded by actions – not at once. It is like layers and layers of peeling, relating, connecting, analyzing till one infers that the medium is the self. This happens in a human form and that is our capacity. Now this process is extremely unpredictable, beyond logic, mysterious, symbolic and many things that can’t be imagined. Hence the only way to reach the Home of Truth is to keep trusting the process that eventually Truth will get revealed. We have been bestowed by this capacity, whether one is aware of it or not (and is immaterial to accelerate the process if at all). Becoming the Truth requires more than awareness and application of what is known. Perhaps the awareness one gets is that there is a presence of noumenon from which a phenomenon occurs.

In Mahabharat, through a series of conversations, Arjun was lead to Vishwarupa Darshan (finally) and not at the start. Perhaps even Krishna would not have known the destination of where things would lead, although He had no ulterior motive while unfolding all things that could be shared with Arjun.

One is required to rise up to the Mystery of life – it is not offered on the platter as something to be known or consumed or applied or seen. Once Truth is known, steadiness in that state of Being is required.
