Shree: The Intellect

 

030522: Shree: The Intellect

How much is enough? To become peaceful? I don’t think there is any destination for this question – that by doing this, going here, reading this, writing that, saying this and thinking that we get a product called peace. This question is of the intellect which tries to find the start point, end point and the time required to cover the journey and keeps evaluating the progress. What has a start point anyway? What we consider as a start point is a pattern or a construct – which can extend to infinity. Does vibration or tendency has a start point? Can we say that by doing this action, people will change? Situations will change by our actions? Does life have a start point? What about existence? Manifestation is in circles that has no beginning or end and hence keeps us in an unending loop of action. Existence is beyond intellectual analysis (intellect is a subset). The variables formed from vibrations keep changing and no matter what is done, these keep erupting and form an impermanent picture for us. This keeps us entangled.

In today’s times, the choices and changes far outweigh the pace of intellect to grasp what is coming its way – so either it gets wild and anxious to keep up the pace or it freezes to dismiss everything. These responses need to be outgrown and only then will it feel peaceful. Firstly, the reality of bliss is unconditional and does not depend on anything – not even the intellect. We are born from pure bliss and hence that is our fundamental state of being. We exist and that requires no proof or justification. We maybe in motion and that too does not require any response to trim it.

We only need to accept things as they appear to us and from then on, we may discover the path to peace. Things are. Things exist. Consciousness is. I am. Keep in touch with consciousness. All is Him and intellect is only a tiny apparent subset. In another way, any moment can be regarded as a default start point to become One. Becoming something is immaterial of situation. One decides to become and one then becomes.
