Shree: Two ways of looking at the world

Shree: Two ways of looking at the world

There two ways of perceiving existence. inside - outside perspective and outside - inside perspective.

Intuition, feelings, philosophy, psychology, traditions, cultural ideas, rhisometric thinking are ways of thinking inside-outside. It is not important what is present outside as much as what one feels inside and how one then makes sense of the world of forms or of space and time. It is perhaps the presence of consciousness one feels that just expresses for its own self. There is no point to be made, no justification, no separation and all seems one or inter related. Books such as A Pattern Language, Timeless Way of Building, Primitive Architecture, Form andf Feelings, Eyes of the Skin, Places of The Soul – and many more perhaps point to that way of seeing things.

The outside-inside perspective tries to analyse, dissect, fragment, refine, control variables. Intellect is at a premium and hence it follows that justification, evaluation and clarification are kept at a premium. Things are required to be in black and white, with purposes and linearity and causal effects and history as an idea. The prupose is to “fix” something (defining and locating a problem) and then maintaining a cycle of evaluation, assessment and then fixing it again.

It seems in the evolution of humanity we seem to have moved from inside-outside perspective to outside-inside perspective with huge costs. Contemporaily societies work at both perspectives – some dipping to one side more and all in fact have a role to play.

But the most important fact is about trust and revelation of “being in the world” that probably comes from inside-outside perspective. Herein there is no comparison but only awareness of differences without trying to fix anything and by expressing one’s encounter with differences that one sees. It makes sense to live or exist in this world view for all you know, you might encounter bliss!

It is not necessary to run and fix things and base our validation on that. The point of validation stems from separation or thinking at a deeper level of the disconnect with God.

The word disconnect is not intellectually possible to respond. Disconnection happens only because the connection is beyond the language of feelings and intellect and it involves steadying the vibrations. Hence is it causal relationship or logical or something else – is a matter of exploration and not of analysis for achieving any perfection in manifestation. The more one thinks, one believes that the control of a start point will lie by doing this or that or here or there or at this time and at this place….this is the mind’s behaviour – unsteadiness. This is not a fault, except one ought to be aware of this tendency and not get carried away by what is thrown as imagination by the intellect. That being said, it also means that following above suggestion literally is also not intended! Neither this nor that – then what to do? Then is that a vacuum or a full stop? That would be a further blunder on our understanding!

An intellect comes to a vacuum – as a response but a vacuum in reality does not exist in consciousness. Hence the idea is to become steady in the wavering experience of life and that mean transcendence, which the intellect only says it as a word but it has to be made to realize. And not only the intellect, but the entire being.

Shree: Effort

 

Shree: Effort

Effort is all that matters – not necessarily they give intended results and not necessarily they give success; yet faith in doing and becoming steady and expanding the self is required. This cannot stop. A stoppage means a ‘vacuum’ which does not exist in the medium of consciousness. Hence whatever gets done, is by multiple forces that are related as a web and they stay forever connected. In this connection and the journey to become steady, there is a contradiction – of believing to manifest and to transcend the manifestation process. One can say that this contradiction brings about evolution of the mind and continues creation. In our experience, it means “struggle” and the effort to understand and diffuse the self created struggle.

This is mysterious as a journey and hence we have a combination of effort and grace; althought truthfully admitting – all creation happens in the Home of God.

Introspection of our existence works. It is more than a causal relationship. At times, we are in serious doubt about this journey and thoughts that occur and what can be done forward. But if the habit of introspection continues, then answers get revealed subsequently, if not at that instant but sometime later. This is trust. The answer may lie anywhere – in space or time or person or situation or event or feeling or intellect or any dimension of manifestation. Now it is a given scenario that we live in this world of phenomena where we see change, are dependent and are required to deploy intellect, feelings and form of body “in this journey”. These dimensions may generate a sense of belongingness and attachment (I) and it is upto us to let go off the intent of these dimensions. This will happen eventually.

How this happens is not clear and is a process in itself. Clarity is only in harnessing the reality of Truth and the journey is meant for the same. The nature of the journey is a matter of discovery. Discovery is a birth right and hence it will always be evolving and no matter what may be the precedents or situations in the past and whatever may happen in the future, it is “not” any indicator or a compulsion of what I must do. There is nothing like “must”. It is decided to the best of capacity and that is all there is to it.

Perfection and control over things in absolute sense is not required – not even preparation and defense. In the spirit of existence we say and do many things and “points” appear very “grey” in their nature – intermingled, fleeting and changing. To base any conclusion on those points mean limitations and whatever people say or do or insist or whatever I may think, is all incidental to this phenomenon. Still things will happen and ought to happen.

Happen is a vibration and manifestation – an action – indicating “presence” and “potential” of Existence. This, we ought to remember whatever it takes and whatever it makes us undergo.

Not all things can be made explicit or clear to self or anything else. Clarity is a created or imagined demand, but not absolute, so there is plenty of room to navigate. Once in this journey, there is no looking back – the way ahead is “now”.

Forgetting the Truth is not the same as causal relationship. In causal relationship as a sentence or a thought, one can say that consciousness generates vibrations and then forces and then forms but while saying so is it causal relationship and is there a start point and a linear way of leading to a form? Thinking further one can then talk about perception governed by each of these states and scales and changes and intent of actions and what kind of reality gets generated. The form is the most gross and pointed affair, whaeas the vibrations tend to be highly subtle and at a grand scale and having almost zero change. Yet to become such states or to go from the form to consciousness is not based on causal relationships alone or is not just a logical thing and since we think through vibrations or thoughts, we tend to base our actions on above causal assumptions. The automatic change born out of realization is a matter of grace or trust, wherein of course the role of effort is there backed up fundamentally by the grace of God or the presence of Existence. Since you and I are here and since a phenomenal world ‘exists’; it is a sure sign of Absolute Existence, as this world depends ENTIRELY on the Absolute Truth. Yet how much of this have we forgotten! And to “forget” is a process of manifesting or of getting created and being engaged in a loop of actions born from imagination or perception. We say that we have manifested which means we have ‘forgotten something’. Therefore forgetting is a state of being and remembering is a state of being the Truth. Is this a causal or a comparative thing? I forget this or I remember that? This is only a word. But what does it mean when I forget the Truth and what does it mean when the Truth is acknowledged?

The entire journey of becoming blissful is on the aspect of forgetting and remembering as modes of Existence.

From that aspect, manifestation happens (is an action of God’s presence) and phenomenon will eternally be present – born, change and dissolve. So I am manifested which means I undertake this journey of being in this world, which is inherited from God.

The intellect has a given “speed” of creation – that of variables, sequences and inferences. This speed is a function of force of intellect itself. It follows that creation then has a way of “happening” or manifesting – such as intellect, feelings, forms and each of these have a character of their own and are also interdependent. Hence depending on the operation mechanism of an individual, one perceives manifestation in a particular way and describes temporariness or the eternal in that way. One’s temporariness, if explained as a function of mechanism, may not be understood by the other. However, if one abstracts these characters and comes to the fundamental, then the Truth may get revealed. Hence the same Truth operates in different ways for different people (which is what the entire idea of creation is).

Despite the convincing or expressions or justifications one offers, the other may not understand the intent of expression (or definitely understands intent in a different way). This is natural, to be accepted as a beginning, so conflicts can be seen incidental and not really absolute. Then there may be seen a way to go beyond conflict and reach the fundamental. This requires time and patience.

Is this an individual journey? It starts perhaps individually but becomes universal in spirit eventually.

Shree: Drifting

 

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

With time and differing contexts, one sees or experiences architecture (or the idea of connection) in different ways. Central idea is of connecting and expanding beyond/ transcending.

Geography and tribals seem one way in which any physical space is seen as a medium to transcend – or having a connection with myth. What we say as ‘myth’ is one way of accessing an experience far remote that it predates even traditions and only suggests a hazy picture (to the modern intellect) of cosmogony/ ancestors/ values/ connections and so on. By this we can say that anything that becomes ‘definite/ scientific/ physical’ as a form (maths or logic) has limitations of how much it can offer a peak into the past and future. Beyond a certain point of mindscape, logic or maths has to break down, since space and time do not appear or perform based on what logic reveals. Hence the mind has to “bend” or “mould” to go beyond logic. This is what philosophy concludes when one expands beyond the measure of body and thoughts. Logic and feelings are derivatives of existential motion and hence subjected to some laws and limitations. Beyond those laws is transcendence and faith.

The second idea is an absolute intangible entity that descends to create a tangible form. The Tao philosophy or Upanishads lay enormous clues in this direction. However the philosophy cannot be “applied” as it is – one has to learn or discover the message of philosophy.

The third idea is to connect with feelings that are very fundamental to life forms. In contemporary world, wherein we operate as designers, this maybe one fundamental idea to explore and thereby “act” out of love and empathy. In architecture, architects such as Louis Kahn suggest that all architecture can be condensed to three fundamental feelings  - (a) that of moving on a street and hence connecting what one sees as one moves; (b) interacting with life forms as one moves and (c) just a sense of being calm in that space. As people and designers, to generate a feeling of love is fundamental and all programs, solutions and built products ought to stem from this feeling and nothing else.

Shree: Presence of the Past

 

Shree: Presence of the Past

In what way does subtleness affects sequences and visibility is beyond current intellect’s potential. This is to be accepted with full faith.

What a nice thing if one remembers values of connection, silence, tranquility, movement, climate, life forms….that can guide one eternally to create anything! Of course, creation starts with God (as nature of His Being); we can contribute to harness tranquility.

I am not so particular about cleanliness and systems – they may mean suppresion of variety, absolute control, strong hierarchy, and barrenness of the mind and disrespect for memory or anything of the past.

I am only suggesting here what conditions and peceptions one has about one’s own environment and the answer to this may lie in deep recesses of civilizations from myth, traditions, culture and what that reflects as actions, activites, art and architecture. If one ‘sees’ a temple, one is sure that the origin of this building type is rooted maybe even in prehistoric times and that is one way in which the Past talks to us or makes Its presence relevant today. The cave paintings for example, done in 8000 BCE (Bhimbetka) can suggest how we seem to have arrived ‘now’.

So it all depends on how is this ‘I’ perceived and what is the role of memory in this? Is ‘I’ always there as past-present-future or is it only tied with present time?

Shree: Feelings

 

Shree: Feelings

Feelings are already there. Existence is there and that reflects as feelings or is “felt” as feelings. Feelings have a character of their own and depending on that character/ nature a “form” or a situation becomes visible (comes into visual property) that suggests a particular scale, proportion, quality of space and time. Hence whatever one “sees” is possible due to certain “feelings” that have led into the creation of the sight. Now if one sees with universal feelings then it is possible for one to connect with everything around him/her. I say, can we start looking at objects, phenomena, situations, individuals, genders etc as feelings? This means feelings lead to so many different objects, whereas the source of everything ought to be One Truth. Worth remembering this.

We “already exist”; so we keep generating and erupting something – many things erupt, but perhaps feelings are extremely profound that start from most subtle and invisible and universal scale to more gross, concrete and visible scales. So visibility means wavering set of feelings that create some boundary – beyond which currently we seem at a loss to relate to the unknown. So our responses become bounded (and therefore incomplete). All of us are “made or created” from unknown and all of us connect to the unknown and each of creation. It is said that remembering God (as the Truth of Existence) can help us connect back and become the unknown. However “remembering” also needs to be backed by the quality of complete surrender/ faith/ trust; only then can it achieve what is expected.

In that sense of reality, we don’t forget anything, since we already exist. There are states of existences which is what is continued or what becomes of us. This thought requires digestion. Trust.

Shree: Being at Home

 

Shree: Being at Home

Positive thougts are important – they may appear evolving, incomplete, doubtful, interconnected and many other things or coming from God – but they ought to become steady and reveal consciousness.

Anything that is done as an action or is built as a ‘form’ or expressed as a ‘poem’ comes from invisible layers of being. The intent of form depends on intent of existence – hence the scale, proportion, movement, textures, elements, openings and so on. Form by default is “not there” as a template – we discover it by defining the intent of being. Nothing is there in fact, which means anything can be there as long as the intent gets synthesized and expresses itself.

The Being expresses Itself and hence the same capacity we have, since we are created from the Being. Creation has certain properties or character and hence those also materialize in us (intellect, feelings, body and their relationships, dependences, connections and inside-outside awareness and vibrations). This is God’s Home and all forms that are at Home exist as phenomenon of space and time. Knowing this, I am a phenomenon and hence I can create anything. For creation obviously, trust is required for becoming steady.

शक्ति आणि अस्तित्व आहे. जे काही आहे इथे, जि काही गती आहे, जे काही बदल आहे, जे काही विचार आहेत, जे कार्य घडत आहे, जि काही चिंता आहे, जो काही प्रयत्न आहे, जे काही स्वीकारणे आहे – ते भगवंताच्या शक्तिमुळे आहे. सर्व वस्तूंची निर्मिती – द्वैत आणि त्याचे परिणाम, त्या अद्वैत भगवन्तामुळे होत राहते.

मी कोण मला माहीत नाही; हि शक्ति काय मला माहीत नाही; मी कुठे जाणार हे माहीत नाही; पुढे काय होणार आहे माहीत नाही; बदल कसे समोर येणार आहेत माहीत नाही; कार्याचा परिणाम काय होणार आहे माहीत नाही; गोष्टींचा मुळ कुठून येतो माहीत नाही – हे सर्व  गोष्टी मला/ विचारांना/ बुद्धीला माहीत नाहीत.

तर प्रश्न असा आहे कि “काय बिघडत जर माहीत नसल तरीही?” का हा अट्टाहास माहीत असण्याचा आणि गोष्टी बरोबर नमूद करण्याचा आणि सगळीकडे नियंत्रण आणण्याचा?

हा प्रश्न अध्यात्मिक स्तरावर आत्मसाद करायला हवा, बुद्धीने नाही. वरील प्रश्नांचा अर्थ असा आहे कि सर्व भगवंताकडे सोपवा आपला अनुभव आणि प्रवास आणि आनंदी रहा. ते कस, कुठे, कुठल्यापद्धातीने, कधी, कुणामुळे, केव्हा, कश्यासाठी, वगैरे प्रश्नांच्या प्रभावांच्या पलीकडे येणे गरजेच आहे – आणि  ते ही एक सूक्ष्म शक्तिच रसायन आहे. सूक्ष्म ह्याचा अर्थ असा कि उत्तरांची अपेक्षा न धरता त्या शक्तीवर श्रद्धा वाढवणे; त्याच अस्तित्व आत्मसाद करणे;  त्याच सारख चिंतन करणे; शुद्ध होत जाणे. बदल, मी, गती, आकार, होणे – हे सर्व भागवान्तामुळे आहे. जे काही होईल ते चांगल होईल. कार्य करत राहणे आणि ते हि भगवंतासाठी. हेतू न बाळगणे. चांगलं परिणाम पडेल – ह्यावर श्रद्धा ठेवणे.

Everything exists as existence of phenomenon (vibration and becoming) and Being (Truth and bliss). I exist and there are certain “things” by which there is an awareness of “I” and “action” and then it leads to inquiry of self, relationships, connections, expansion, becoming, dream, imagination, truth and so on.

I think the result of all the above inquiries is in accepting that no matter whatever “start point” seems to get constructed inevitably, it will evolve (change and many other things) and this process is also default part of existing as a human form.

Change does not label or define us in any way and neither do actions that result from the change. This has to be said because our mind fixates itself onto a concept formed in manifestation. The mind is a phenomenon and the Truth is even beyond that – indescribable, unwavering and peaceful.

So all the changes that seem to occur or be felt are incidental to existence of phenomenon and one should learn to become Peaceful regardless of whatever a ‘state’ of existence one may feel. In other words, a state of existence is a derivative of peace (created from Peace but not of Peace).

In this way the spirit of “creation” ought to be taken perhaps – all properties and becoming (as an action) emerges from Peace.

Shree: Loop

Shree: Loop

We ourselves do not know us or any aspect of phenomenon completely. Realization and knowing are two different things and knowing means that one is vibrating whereas realization means being absolutely steady. Phenomenon is about "egg first or chicken”, meaning it is always relative, evolving, interdependent or changing and illusionary/ constructed and one feels existence based on this loop that one generates. Hence all our awareness and response currently depends on the nature of this loop. The loop defines us and we inturn operate as a loop.

Yet there is no start point or end point to anything – all is a web. This means I am present in all and all is present in me – which means I can become empathetic. All things represent a loop – young children or elders or the working people or climate or imagination or tree or mountain or anything else. Can we relate to the loop and see that we can still love and become steady despite apparent differences in the loop?

I don’t think so that blame or complain is required and it nevertheless exists because the loops are not accepted the way they are or even related to one’s loop. Hence logical thinking necomes severely limited and whatever it may suggest to us (logically) is just a part of the picture or the Truth.

Now the point is what are the modes of thinking that break or transcend the loop? Philosophy, art and creativity of any kind.

Make room for these in your mindscape.

Every individual has a right to introspect regarding how perception occurs and what he/she can do about the same, if it is required to become peaceful. Blissful is a state of mind which means unconditioned to any changes or perceptions or forms or forces or anything of the phenomenon. This has to be felt by the self – there may be a template which says so, but unless one discovers this state, there is perhaps limited use in referring to a template as the truth. The discovery is a unique way of knowing the template and hence the journey of discovery becomes unique or personal to the individual.

A template may be seen as the greatest absolute abstraction of experience (or of the phenomenon) and regardless of our starting points defined by intellect or feelings or body or work (as being engaged in the phenomenal world), we have to rise to the experience of abstraction. This feeling of this abstracted Being or of abstracted Existence is “bliss”. Abstraction may mean taking out the irrelevant and become steady. It may also mean transcending specific points and seeing the web and even going beyond the web – in other words expansion and subtleness. Our experiences are specific to a phenomenon  - but we have the capacity to relate to the web and finally becoming steady. Therefore the identification with the individual self, although inevitable aspect of Being, is limited and one ought to grow and become the Being.

Now in the daily cases, the above process has to be related to anything as small as our observation or what we hear or how we hear and how we choose to respond. Hence tihngs are mysterious and beyond pure logic of production or expectation or of time or space.

Finally bliss is all that matters and anything, any decision, any amount of patience and any effort that makes us so, is worth it.

Shree: Trust

 

Shree: Trust

Our inner vibrations (Bhaw of Existence) make us perform certain actions or respond to environment or the web of existence. Separation is the result of getting engaged in phenomenon – and there are states of phenomenon from vibrations to forces of intellect and feelings to forms – each state represents a way of interacting and that means from awareness, to analysis to response of some kind. All is a phenomenon – created or already is there by God. Why does a phenomenon appear may be seen as a property of existence – the medium of God Himself – one already is God but seems to perceive universe of ‘forms’ if one seems to vibrate to generate a feeling of independence or separation. Hence separation or connection is a state of existence and rather than debating what is real, the inquiry can be  - what is preferred and therefore what should be referred as the Truth?

The realization of Truth also gets reflected in what one sees, perceives, acts and generates an intent. What one calls as intellect or feelings also is seen from the idea of purpose or action of control. Should it be seen in that way?

When I see or hear people talk about something the important question to the self is – how is interpretation within the self getting generated and why in a particular manner? All such forces of seeing, hearing, interpretations also mean the feeling of ‘I’. If this relationship is known without getting worried, then one will know what is to be worked on and why.

One is required to rise to the question of Existence and its nature and that too pursuing the question in a manner of trust and revelation. Any other intent apart from trust does not reveal the truth. It is as if God already knows all vibrations present in the self and hence there cannot be any cheating!

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.

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.

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.

Shree

 

Shree

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.

Hari Om.

Shree: Eternal

 

Shree: Eternal

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.

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.

Hari Om.

 

 

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.
