BE HERE NOW- Whether It Can Be Practiced
Whatever (including consciousness,experiences,expressions, etc.) we know are just informations about (...).
The so called "knower" we generally refer and emphasise upon appears to be more important.
But as you know the knower and the known (informations) and the process of knowing last as long as the beautiful and intelligent body lasts.
There is no report after so called death whether so called consciousness or whatever you name it, remains/continues or not.
But the concept of eternity of so called consciousness is very much liked/enjoyed by the mind as it (we) requires continuity because of JIVESHNA (desire to continue living). We never want to die. We (mind) cannot think of our discontinuation/death. That (to discontinue) is the real fear.
That is why we(mind) strongly believe and feel satisfied with the concept of eternity of us having concepts like soul, Atma, Parmatma, God, Consciousness, Awareness, etc.
Just think if somebody (especially a Master) says you that "there is no such thing as eternity about your existence or "whatever you have known are all illusion/false", then what will be your reaction.
In case if you get somehow convinced with this ( non-existence of eternity of consciousness) , the mind will loose interest in anything whatsoever, except the basic needs of the body for living for which basically mind naturally exists.
Hence after "knowing/getting convinced" concentration will happen automatically more in living naturally rather than what will be in future as there does not remain a goal like realising so called your eternal presence.
This is the whole purpose of spirituality, i.e. understanding/realising of the fact of "BEING IN HERE NOW ALREADY".
Spirituality has nothing to do with concepts like present, past , future , eternity, soul, consciousness, God, Almighty, Brahman, Ishwara, etc. as all are nothing but mental entertainment which is more luxurious than physical luxuries.
The body which is already living in the moment has nothing to do with all these concepts or so called truth.
To make realise/convinced a person about his/her state of BEING IN HERE NOW ALREADY, is the whole purpose of a real Master/Guru and for that the Masters play various tricks like giving/prescribing a no. of methods to practice "knowing fully well that they are of no use" in ultimate sense.
They(Masters) want us (mind) to get convinced on our own about this fact (uselessness of practices).
After getting convinced/realised/known about the uselessness of any doing what happens is beyond expression i.e. inexpressible/unexplainable.- This has been said/declared by all Masters without any exception.
This is said/expressed as I understand, perhaps because the mind does not come into picture in the moment (living in present or here now) which we can say is the only time and cannot be caught/perceived by us(mind).
If there is no mind how can you say anything, because to say anything you require data (past and future projections) and that does not exist in the moment or in other words you cannot catch hold of the data as moment goes away so fast that the mind cannot hold/understand/know that.
Hence that is inexpressible/unknowable/unexplainable.
Therefore, from the above you can at least intellectually understand that you(mind) are already established or you (unknowable) are already living in """HERENOW"".
Hence all the entertainments (including spiritual) comes to NOT.
This is also known as NATURAL STATE in which all animates and in-animates are staying except "we the humans who appear not to be staying in this NATURAL STATE".
It is not that we are not in that state, only thing is that we are not aware of that.
Therefore the purpose of our discussion is just to be aware of this NATURAL STATE in which we are already living and there is no way out also to get out of this state.
That is all.
