Shree: Why the straight face?!

 

Shree: Why the straight face?!

 Despite whatever we may think or do to “resolve” something, things will become, take a form, respond to vibrations and so forth. We may think we might have attended to something, but I feel things are not bounded at all – they are “always there as vibrations” and hence our own trigger of vibrations stay longer enough – probably eternally – despite our movements in phenomenal world. So sense of time, place and people is not a bounded activity but a seamless, continuous experience  that spills over onto many other things and hence even if we may show some sort of “controlled face” to the other person, we are actually not acknowledging this basic truth of interconnectedness of things! 

“Why the straight face?!” is what I am asking here. There is no need for anything straight or to appear in some way, as if we “are or should be” in control of “things”! What things indicate of self is immaterial to the sense of peace as vibration. 

People somehow have this tendency to show a straight face to others. The more the fragmentation occurs in life, relationships, careers, work and so on, more will be the self imposed demands to “maintain a straight face” (although you are already aware that you are waiting to burst from within!).

I think in these times, we have to accept that we are scattered as experiences and an appropriate sequence of wholesomeness “is a project in the making” (and I need to be totally ok with this situation). 

This has big time repercussions on many things. Let us take it one by one. 

 The idea of self is dependent on vibrations and perceptions of many things from situations to people to tendencies to imaginations to materiality of life to work to action and so on – a self inflicted circle of life. The more one becomes aware of this cycle, perhaps one wishes to “resolve it” (the dilemma or the struggle). It can’t be fixed. Let us accept this and it is better to leave things as they are and realize that nothing really ought to get fixed!

 The idea of work and the urge to excel, reap in money or material benefit and know all and be all and be an expert in everything – too much of a burden. Then we think, analyze, sequence out things, plan, execute and review with the hope of learning something and refining. Be loose in this endeavor because there are many things that influence an action nowadays. Philosophically there are forces that influence or make an action and in the era of fragmentation, there is a whole range of distraction that does the same thing! Inside and outside there appears as “no control”. So relax, for to expect some control can become a nightmare!

 In relationships – death of everything is inevitable and one cannot escape death. There is no such thing as “being prepared”! “Now” is always the time we have to “be”, so enjoy the same. Why people say something, behave in some weird ways, expect something, do something nasty and cause pain is a mysterious thing that needs to be decoded and accepted without any evaluation.

 My life (one’s life) is not at all dependent on any sequence or a variable or an idea of change or any development or any form or any inevitability for that matter. Life is only that – life.

 How things happen and how they exist and what is Existence is actually One continuous medium of being that apparently gets compartmentalize (when the Force generates “we”) and this causes stress to us. I am the compartmentalized version of the Truth, so my perception is incomplete, changing and painful. Creation means to be compartmentalized and imagine things and let those affect us as a cycle. We need learning of many things and we need to become Silence.

 Hari Om.
