WHY DO WE DO ANYTHING AT ALL ???

WHY  DO  WE  DO  ANYTHING  AT  ALL ???

(Including going to temple,Guru, Master, etc. reading scriptures and all)


I have tried to explain the above in the following lines.

1. After landing on earth from unknown through womb we start learning (basically sense organs in conjunction with neurons are trained to function in a synchronized way which is called conditioning).

2. Further alongwith conditioning we start learning on our own too by way of imitation.

3. We come to know various concepts including the basic concept "I". These concepts have utility values but are not true in themselves--means AS SUCH they have no existence of their own.

4. This gives rise to a sense of memory/mind/thoughts....etc. etc. This mind cannot exist without body, but body can very well exist without this mind.(People in comatose, deep sleep state are examples of existence of body without mind.)

5. This mind functions (movement of thoughts) only if a target/goal is given to the body-mind structure as this instrument has been trained on this pattern only.

6. For a normal life to lead both the instruments i.e. body and mind must function in harmony with each other.........may not be fully harmonised.

7. Target/goal---means lack of that targeted thing. If one already have something he/she will not make that a target. How this lack is created is a different issue. Many factors are involved, but the central factor is conditioning.

8. Body----When the body is lacking in something we name it disease. In order to fill that (lack) we do many things including going to doctors. This (removing the sense of lacking) makes sense as without body(by grace/virtue of which we are known in this world, but unfortunately we have given more importance to the mind than the body------in fact both are equally important......but base remains the body). All animals do this.

8. Mind----- A concept ...nomenclature given to the interpretation of impulses reaching brain..........interpreted by the brain cells as per conditioning/training received as mentioned above in point no. 1. Hence, impulses produced due to various factors (known and unknown) do have their existence AS SUCH (EEG), but the thoughts don't have their existence AS SUCH. Hence, the mind also does not has its existence AS SUCH.

9. When the basic needs (mainly food) of a person get secured, the attention (consciousness) shifts to the brain in stead of basic body demands. Attention is nothing but an expression of energy only which is produced by the body. This attention (not related to basic needs) is in fact spare/excess as the person does not know how to spend that. Hence, the excessive movement of thoughts (mind) comes into the picture and this excess energy gets consumed. And due to imitating/compulsive behaviour due to conditioning creates a sense of needs other than the basic ones and makes the person move towards indulging in other activities including the so called religion/spirituality as others are also engaged in.

10. This unconscious desire of spending this excess energy (about which we are not aware) gives rise to a sense of feeling as if we are lacking something. Sexual activity more than required for procreation is also included in this (lacking feeling). In order to fulfill this sense of lacking we go on accumulating various goods. Not only that we go on accumulating the so called various knowledge (information) without being aware why we are doing.....just trying to fulfill the sense of lacking. And one day while engaged in these activities, the body comes to a stage when it is unable to sustain the life in this form---death. But no one wants to die. Hence, in order to have a sense of continuity even after death of body somehow the idea of immortality was conceptualised and in order to give this concept a solid base many concepts like God, Soul, Atma, Parmatman, etc were devised. With the passage of time first came the idea of religion then spirituality.

11. Hence, the reason behind going to religions and spirituality is nothing but to get rid of a sense of non-fulfillment (feeling of lacking something). In a sense this is a disease of mind only which we try to "solve/get rid of" by going to temple, Baba, Guru, Masters, etc. I am not saying going to them is wrong, but I have just tried to analyse the the reason behind all these drama (Leela).

ARE YOU REALLY AWARE WHAT IS HAPPENING INSIDE YOU AT THOUGHT LEVEL ????????

ARE YOU REALLY AWARE WHAT IS HAPPENING INSIDE YOU AT THOUGHT LEVEL ???????? 

PERHAPS - NO


LET ME TRY TO EXPLAIN



In the waking state as well as in dreaming state,

right from the morning to the night,

you are trying "to get rid of/to fulfill/to get yourself free from" the so called your thoughts/desires (spiritual thoughts/desires included) which go on appearing into our mind continuously.


However this function(phenomenon) is happening inside us without we being aware of it i.e. without our knowledge.



If somehow you become aware of the above fact

by verifying on your own

after the thoughts or actions have passed away,

then perhaps the so called spiritual linguistic gymnastic is not needed at all,

because the whole purpose of all these are to get free from the grips of thoughts

and

in fact you are already engaged in this process albeit without being aware of such functioning going on unhindered.


""JUST VERIFY ON YOUR OWN""---- From morning to just before going to sleep.



Take simple examples to understand this factual position.

In the morning after waking up, a thought of "having a cup of tea" appears in you and you express that thought by asking somebody “whether tea is ready” or if you are alone you go and prepare tea on your own.

If the answer come “yes” or after preparing the tea the thought (having a cup of tea) gets annihilated.

If answer comes “no” or you don't get any of the ingredients then another thought appears and expressed as “what is the problem” or "where is that ingredient".

It again gets annihilated by another answer or by finding.


A series of thoughts continuously go on appearing and you go on trying to fulfill them in order to get yourself free from those thoughts.


If you can somehow verify in a systematic manner a great secret of life will be revealed and you will be amazed of implications of this finding/discovery.

I HAVE BEEN MISUNDERSTOOD

I HAVE BEEN MISUNDERSTOOD



HAVE YOU EVER BEEN MISUNDERSTOOD ??? 


YES, ALWAYS AS THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE TOO.



WHEN DO YOU COME TO KNOW ABOUT HAPPENING OF MISUNDERSTANDING ?


THIS IS NOT A SUDDEN PHENOMENON BUT RECOGNISED/REALISED SUDDENLY.

THE SEED OF MISUNDERSTANDING GETS SOWN UNKNOWINGLY FROM THE MOMENT YOU COME IN THE CONTACT WITH THE PERSON CONCERNED.

BUT SPROUTING AND FLUTING TAKE TIME.

YOU COME TO KNOW/RECOGNISE/REALISE ONLY WHEN MISUNDERSTANDING CROSSES THE THRESHOLD LIMIT FROM THE SUDDEN OUTBURST FROM THE PERSON CONCERNED.



CAN IT BE AVOIDED ??

PERHAPS YES.


HOW ??



IF THE PERSON CONCERNED FEELS EVEN SLIGHTEST PINCH/HURT DUE TO YOUR WORDS (AS THEY ARE VERY POOR COMMUNICATOR OF MEANING/MESSAGE) OR ACTIONS,

HE/SHE SHOULD IMMEDIATELY EXPRESS TO YOU.

AND AT THAT POINT OF TIME ITSELF THAT MATTER CAN BE RESOLVED VERY EASILY (EVEN MATTER MIGHT GET FINISHED AUTOMATICALLY) AS THE SEED OF MISUNDERSTANDING WILL NOT GET NOURISHMENT FOR FURTHER GROWTH AND YOU WILL HAVE THE STRONG UNBREAKABLE BONDING WITH HIM/HER.



BUT WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN ??


BECAUSE "PERHAPS YOU ARE BEYOND UNDERSTANDING".



NORMALLY NO ONE TRIES TO UNDERSTAND YOU IN NORMAL COURSE CONSCIOUSLY BUT STILL MISUNDERSTANDING HAPPENS.

WHEN SOMEBODY TRIES TO UNDERSTAND YOU CONSCIOUSLY AND IF THE MISUNDERSTANDING HAPPENS THEN IT MAKES SENSE.

BUT DOES IT NOT LOOK AWKWARD THAT WITHOUT EVEN TRYING TO UNDERSTAND CONSCIOUSLY BY OTHER FELLOW, YOU ARE MISUNDERSTOOD ???


BUT WHAT IS MISUNDERSTANDING ?


IN MY OPINION

"WHEN THE NATURAL CONNECTIVITY WITH OTHERS (EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED WITH ALL OTHER THINGS OR LIFE FORMS)

COMES TO THE SURFACE

OR

GETS REVEALED

TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT THE EXISTENCE OF ILLUSORY EGO (PERSONALITY / INDIVIDUALITY) IS FELT QUESTIONABLE

AND

THIS RESULTS INTO A SENSE/FEELING OF MISUNDERSTANDING.


[ HERE THE WORD YOU INCLUDES EVERYONE ]



WHAT DO YOU SAY ?????????????????



[ I HAVE BEEN MISUNDERSTOOD BY ONE OF MY FB FRIENDS RECENTLY.

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE BEEN MISUNDERSTOOD.

THE REVERSE MAY ALSO BE TRUE i.e. MISUNDERSTANDING MAY BE ON MY PART.

BUT THIS RECENT ONE LED ME TO ANALYSE "WHY" THIS HAPPENS. ]


I HAVE BEEN FINDING MYSELF MISUNDERSTOOD BY MY MANY REAL LIFE FRIENDS FROM A LONG TIME AND BY FB FRIENDS FROM LAST ONE YEAR WHEN I STARTED FB JOURNEY.

THIS MISUNDERSTANDING LED TO UN-FRIENDING, BLOCKING, GETTING DELETED FROM THE GROUPS ETC.

I THINK MOST OF YOU HAVE ALSO GONE THROUGH THIS ORDEAL.


ON THIS WHOLE DRAMA I CAN DO NOTHING BUT LAUGH.............................

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH...............

OUR TRUE DESIRE OR WHAT LIFE WANTS

OUR TRUE DESIRE OR WHAT LIFE WANTS 


Perhaps the basic unconscious desire of every human being is to forget oneself i.e. extinguishing/annihilating "oneself/one's thoughts" as one is nothing but a bundle of thoughts. 

In a sense coming to the emptiness which is our true nature.


This can be inferred from our various mental and physical activities.


Let me try to explain.


Everyone is engaged in fulfilling his/her desires in waking as well as dreaming state.

In deep sleep state one is not even aware about oneself i.e. the state of complete forgetfulness, as the movement of thoughts which is necessary for being aware, comes to naught.

The same (complete forgetfulness) thing happens in the moment when a desire gets fulfilled (when the movement of thought related to desire comes to naught due to getting fulfilled), but this does not get grasped by the mind as this happens for a fraction of second as there is a chain of desires standing in que for getting fulfilled.

And in this fraction of second we feel a sense of fulfillment/contentment.

This sense of fulfillment/contentment is nothing but "absence of movement of thoughts" or "emptiness" which basically all of us unconsciously desire.

WHAT THE HELL WE ARE DOING ????

WHAT THE HELL WE ARE DOING ????


What I or perhaps all of us have observed that

when the word "ENLIGHTENMENT" comes for the discussion

many of us say or give opinion with "authority(as if fully known)" that

"there is no enlightenment, we have just forgotten to remember, we are already enlightened, etc."

making the whole discussion ridiculous or uncalled for or irrelevant.


Everyone of us tries to impress upon others that he/she knows what is being discussed.



[I don't know whether I am correct or not on this point, but to me it appears to be correct.]



But at the same time

1. we go on discussing topics related to the so called spirituality central theme of which is "enlightenment"

2. We go on quoting sayings/wisdom of various so called Masters of either yesteryear or contemporary ones whose complete focus is on enlightenment only.



Our this approach/behaviour puts a big question mark i.e.


"WHAT THE HELL WE ARE DOING ?"



CAN'T WE SEE THIS CONTRADICTION ?



Are we not behaving in a way which is simply showing that we are neurotic having split personalities ?

DO YOU WANT TO LOOSE YOURSELF ?????????

DO YOU WANT TO LOOSE YOURSELF ?????????



I have experienced/observed/analysed or many of us might have too that "one (as understanding---at thought level) is always getting replaced by another other up to certain extent by way of interaction".

But that is not being done purposely/knowingly i.e. we are not aware of this happening.

The replacement i.e. "the merger of understanding" or "two different understandings becoming one", happens unknowingly and later on one realises this , the symptom of which(realisation) is "feeling a sense of loss of oneself" and then one reacts.

If you look into your day to day life this is actually what is happening with you or everybody is engaged in this only over and above of the engagement for fulfilling the basic needs.

Perhaps this is happening because of the unconscious desire to merge with the others/whole, but at the same time the conditioning which gives you the sense of individual identity (feeling/knowledge of separation) does not want it (merger) to happen.

Hence, the conflict between you (EGO-conditioning) and the unconscious desire surfaces suddenly later on when you(ego) find that you have been lost to a certain extent.

And you as a separate illusory identity start blaming other with whom you have merged.

Perhaps at unconsciousness level a feeling of happiness (peace/relaxation) goes on increasing due to getting merged (as that is the eternal desire) while at conscious level when it comes to your notice the reactions happen in various ways generally we label them as negatives.

This happens when you (ego) feel lost i.e. your understanding and others's understanding do not exist as two, but one.


Through music/art etc. or for that matter any activity where other is not a human being we are unconsciously doing the same(trying to merge).

But here conflict of ego does not happen as that can happen only in case of two human beings.



Perhaps even all the sexual activities are also nothing

but

"symptoms of this unconscious desire of getting merged".


That is why if you want to retain your illusory identity---EGO---then remain always alert while interacting with others in any manner to avoid the future pain and blame game.

NEVER WITHHOLD YOURSELF

NEVER WITHHOLD YOURSELF


Many a times people try and succeed too in withholding their emotions from getting expressed. 

This leads to suppression of emotions which are generally associated with high level of energy.

This suppressed emotions are the root cause of all misery as those emotions go on doing their duty and their effects are always visible (whether you are aware or not) in day to day life in relation to humans or anything else of . Others who are sensitive can very well detect this.

Although in reality all is happening (including withholding)......but so long as we have not known this reality of happening we should try let go the emotions expressed just like children or we should consciously try to express them.

In nature (including our body) nothing is there which ever withholds. 

I AM ON THE 15th PLANE---Osho

I AM ON THE 15th PLANE---Osho



The followers of Radhaswami cult in Agra wanted to try to make something better than the Taj Mahal, because thousands of tourists were coming every day to see the Taj Mahal.

Naturally they thought it was not only a question of prestige, it was also a question of business. It had been going on for almost one hundred years.

They had been able to make only the ground floor.

Certainly they have made it far better than the Taj Mahal, but there seems to be no possibility that they will be able to complete it.

They wanted to make it a three-story building, so it goes higher than the Taj Mahal, but all the money that they could collect from their followers from all over India is finished.

For one hundred years continuously thousands of workers have been involved in making it.


I have seen.... Their pillars are so beautiful, so creative: on the pillars they have made creepers in marble.

And the creepers have green flowers of green marble and roses on top of the creepers made in rubies, emeralds, diamonds.

They have certainly made it clear that if they complete it -- even incomplete -- it has gone beyond the Taj Mahal.

They are immensely happy.

They invited me when I was speaking at Agra University....

They invited me to show me their incomplete memorial.

They have done a tremendously great job.



They took me inside.

Inside they have a map drawn on the marble and on the map there are fourteen divisions.

They have put all the enlightened people that they could think of in the division to which he belongs.

There are not only three categories....

According to them there are fourteen.

Mohammed is in the third division, Jesus is in the fifth -- so is Moses.

In the sixth is Mahavira and Buddha.

In the seventh, Kabir, Nanak, and in that way they went on.

Names are engraved in marble.


And in the fourteenth there is only one man, their own master, who was not known outside Agra.

All his following is centered in Agra.

A few people have moved to different places, but basically, it is a one-city-oriented religion.

They asked me what was my opinion about this map.


I said, "Who has made this map?"

They said, "It is in our holy scripture. Our master himself has made this."

I said, "Your master is right. He is in the fourteenth."


They looked at me, because before me they had shown that map to many people.

Everybody disagreed because their masters were put in the fifth degree, somebody's master in the third degree, somebody's master at the most in the seventh.

After the seventh, the other six planes are empty.

The fourteenth, the highest reach of consciousness, has been achieved by their master.

Naturally no Hindu will agree, no Mohammedan will agree, no Jaina will agree, no Jew, no Christian, no Buddhist. Nobody is going to agree.

I was the first man to agree with what they said.


They said, "You are the only man who understands."



I said, "Certainly, because I am on the fifteenth and I know your master is trying, making every effort, to enter into the fifteenth. I don't allow him! He tries hard, but I don't open the door. And as long as I am there on the fifteenth -- and there is no sixteenth, so I cannot go anywhere else -- your master has no chance."



They said, "Fifteenth? But in our scripture there are only fourteen."


"I think that's natural. Your master knows about only fourteen because he has never entered the fifteenth."


They were very much shocked and angry.

Their whole desire is that their master is accepted as the highest, then they are certainly the most significant people on the earth, following the greatest master.

And the master was also on the same trip because in his own writing, which nobody reads except his own disciples -- and they are not many, but they are very rich people....


They showed me their scripture.

He has written with his own hand the names of Gautam Buddha and Jesus and Kabir on lower steps, and his own name he has written on the highest.

That very stupidity shows that he is not even on the lowest, the first floor.

He does not know anything about enlightenment.


He may have been a learned scholar.

That seems to be a possibility, because he writes well.

But he is writing everything as a parrot, repeating from old Indian scriptures.

There is not a single statement which is original.


I asked them, "Show me something that is original. A man who has reached to the highest plane of consciousness must say something which nobody has said, because nobody has reached to that plane. Show me something. Because all that is written in it has been said by people who are just on the third, fourth, fifth.... What is your master's own statement? What is his testimony?"


They could not find a single statement in their whole book which was not stolen.

But this thing goes on and on.

 

Action-Reaction "The Basics Of Karma Theory" Questioned

Action-Reaction "The Basics Of Karma Theory" Questioned


The popular Karma Theory postulates that you will get the result as per your action done i.e. reaction is the result of action done.

In a sense this exactly in conformity with Newton's Law of Action.

But in nature the action (cause) and reaction (effect) form a continuum.

They can never be separated in time.

The reaction starts immediately after the action gets started. In fact the result/effect/reaction starts accumulating immediately when the action get started(without being aware that the effect is getting accumulated), but we perceive the result in the end as we remain concentrated on action.

And as soon as our concentration/awareness from the action comes to naught we perceive the result which was already getting accumulated. The result just get revealed in the end because the awareness towards the action comes to naught.

Hence, there cannot be any gap between happening of cause and its effect.

Then how is it possible that our past karmas affect our present birth i.e. a long gap of time between cause(action) and effect(reaction)?

Somehow I think total misunderstanding of the Kerma Theory ( the concept of "action and reaction or cause and effect" ) has happened.

What do you say ?????????????????

NOTHING REALLY HAPPENS

NOTHING REALLY HAPPENS



In a sense (not in usual practical sense in life as we understand) perhaps there is none who does, there is nothing which is being done and there is none who is getting affected by any of the so called acts (doing).


This whole whole phenomenon of the "happening of perceiving" just appears to be happening because of our conditioning.


Take out this conditioning (training part of the brain) and see.

The Hurt Can Pave the Way to the Heart

The Hurt Can Pave the Way to the Heart

~~~~~ U N K N O W N ~~~~~

[ One of the most powerful statement ever made ]



No person can get hurt unless and until the person concerned is already having some painful sensitive point inside her/him-self because of conditioning (misunderstanding /misconception).


This situation is similar to the physical pain, but with a difference.

At least in case of physical pain something is there to be got hurt , but in case of mental hurt there is non-existent illusory (deemed) entity which gets hurt by another illusory (deemed) entity called thoughts which are the building block of the illusory (deemed) entity popularly known as EGO.


And that mental hurt (pain) is due to presence of the greatest illusory disease labeled as EGO (which in fact does not exist----appears to be existing because of unawareness or in-attention or lack of questioning its existence itself) and hurt is perhaps the best sign of its presence.

Hence, the intensity of the hurt is a good measure of strength of the illusory ego as more the hurt more strong is the Ego. Especially those hurts which contain the tendency to be getting carried forward.

But if one becomes aware of this factual position perhaps the chances/probabilities of getting to the core of understanding which is in the concept of NOW, become bright.

Perhaps all the Masters/Gurus do nothing other than making the seekers/disciples to understand the illusory nature of the EGO which is perhaps the single point goal of the whole spirituality.

THE INTELLIGENCE IS IN THE BODY

THE INTELLIGENCE IS IN THE BODY


The whole intelligence lies in the body.

Nothing is outside body for far as mind is concerned as mind is the conduit/tool through which everything has been expressed till date either in spoken or written words.

Who so ever has let it free or given a chance to express itself, has known everything what so ever was required to be known by the person concerned.

The only hurdle perhaps is the conditioning which is making us unable to see the things AS IT IS.

Understanding the intricacies of this conditioning is perhaps enough in itself.

HUMAN LOVE AND CONDITIONING

HUMAN LOVE AND CONDITIONING


Love is a concept /word used to describe the bonding due to which all atoms in the nature are connected with each other. 

The love considered/understood by the humans in common parlance is all about the compulsive feeling for each other.

This feeling is not in our control as this is perhaps nature's force as our body is also made up of innumerable no of atoms whose actions are not in our control.

The love between two opposite sexes are under complete control of nature as by this way the life (we too are expressions of life only or life is living through our body) wants to continue itself as that (perhaps continuing itself is the only purpose the life has and is known as JIVESHNA- desire to live/continue--in Sanskrit language).

We have labeled this expression of love as lust and sex which are purely natural and we have no control over them (however we may control from outside... but that is not a control---no way to control thoughts/desires).

When two persons (adult ones) of opposite sex meet/see each other the first expression of love is bound to be lust and then sex (whether that materializes bodily or not is a different issue...but arising of desire -there is no way to stop).

May be in the later stage (with the passage of time) both may not bother much about lust and sex as the life's purpose might have been fulfilled up to certain extent.


So far as the effect of conditioning on love between the two opposite sexes is concerned it can/does affect the procedural part (like porn,Tantric sex, various love making postures as enumerated by Vatsayan in Kama Sutra), but the final stage(end of the love making---orgasm) is beyond control of humans as that is what the life wants...the concerned ""persons"" vanish completely...only body remains ..completely under nature's control.

In any case the life and its way are mysterious : hence, completely unpredictable and does not follow any man made rules/disciplines/laws etc.


[ The above note presupposes that we are the doer up to certain extent ]

ARE YOU AWARE OF OWN YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM ???

ARE  YOU  AWARE  OF  OWN  YOUR  OPERATING  SYSTEM ???



The brain is your hardware which perhaps comes only loaded with BIOS and later on operating system is loaded by the society by various means without you being aware as you learn by imitation only and unknowingly the operating system gets loaded and is never displayed but acts from the background (sansakaras--subconsciousness) for the whole life.

Although your operating system  is being updated regularly but not in a systematic way as should have been as you are unaware of its loading and updating.

This is in contrast to computer where the operating is updated in a systematic way unlike ours.

The basis of operating system of ours and the computer both is same i.e. LOGIC.

So far as Anti-Virus software and other System tools like clean up, de-fragmentation software, etc. are concerned they are built in with operating system itself......no need to load from outside...although they are working, but not with full strength due to lack of your awareness..... only they require full activation i.e. you have to just come to know this fact ..that is all.

All the concepts/beliefs/ideas you have are nothing but data/impressions from outside you ...either others have put or you on your own have put...some are parts of your sub-conscious also (part of operating system--mainly put by others).

Your "unawareness (not knowing)" about the above facts is the root cause of all your misunderstanding especially knowledge/idea of yourself... labeled as Maya, Misunderstanding, Ignorance, etc.

If somehow (by outside input only) once you become aware of this fact all the system tools will start operating in full strength and there will be no scope of Maya, Misunderstanding, Ignorance..as they are their due to our unawareness.

There may be a great role of biology too...but that is not in our control, hence not discussed.

But recent studies indicate that biology (genes) cannot be treated/ taken/ considered in isolation to environmental factors.

The above fact may help in arousal of DESIRE of "forgetting/ overcoming/ clearing/ unburdening" of all those concepts and beliefs (collectively known as samsakaras) which appear to be true because of your conditioning which is going on continuously from the very childhood without you being aware, when you had no option but to have those.

But once the seed/desire (although an imaginary one) is sown which in my opinion will act as the defragmentation and the anti-virus programmes and will finally be able to clean up the misunderstandings which appears to be existing because of not being aware of the purpose behind creation (was conceived by the conceiver) of all sorts of beliefs, faiths, concepts, ideas, imaginations, etc.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU RIGHT NOW ???????

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU RIGHT NOW ???????


Perhaps nothing is wrong with you right now.


How ?? let us see.


Whether right or wrong everything is of mind only.

The mind, if there is any, is never/hardly interested in facts.

It is always interested in something unknown and unknowable i.e. imaginations, dreams, ideas, concepts(with attachment), etc.

And such things (imaginations, dreams, etc.) are bound to continue as there is no way out from it too because this is the best/only exercise for the billions of idle neurons we have (it is said we don't even use 1% of our brain's capacity).

In the unknown generally the scientists (intelligent people) are interested so that a part of unknown can be brought under the purview of known.

While the rest (majority 99.99% of the so called civilised) whose basic needs have been fulfilled/secured are interested in unknowable (fictions/ imaginations/ideas like God, Soul, Enlightenment, Nirvana, etc.) with the help of the so called religions/spirituality due to a no. known/unknown factors (perhaps none of these factors is in anyone's control) continuously working.

And it will continue so till the happening of questioning of one's own actions (existential questions).

And the illusory mind is perfectly doing its assigned duty and in turn is helping in neurons' exercise.

Nothing can happen other than what is happening through you right now.

Hence nothing is wrong with you in any respect as body and mind both are perfectly in their own natural state.

SELF REALISATION

SELF REALISATION


This word is a misnomer. This gives an impression that there is some one who is going to realise something else...i.e. subject is going to realise an object. But this is far from the truth.



The self-realisation from different perspective means


""""knowing/realising the existential facts with full clarity that we are not only body-mind, but body-mind is included in us---we are whole""

or

"""Everything is happening on its own effortlessly, if at all there is anything happening"""

or

"""No one is doer(controller)----Doing is there , but doer is not - Buddha""".




But this "knowledge/knowing/understanding" must be getting reflected in that person's (realised) actions and should be felt by others too, otherwise understand that the mind is projecting pseudo-realisation and fooling the person concerned.


In a sense yes this is a process as this is a mental process because thinking is involved in initial stage.

But when """intelligence"" comes into play (which hardly comes into play) it starts happening/revealing automatically effortlessly.

Hence there is no step-by-step realisation. It happens suddenly as everything depends upon the intelligence.

What happens is that he/she is able to see everything(facts of life) "AS IT IS" without thoughts coming in between as filter happening like now.


It is easy as well as difficult both.


From the perspective of doing (yoga,meditation,etc.methods, ways...) in which knowledge of DOERSHIP has to be there, it is difficult.

But from the perspective of NON-DOERSHIP understanding (acceptance, non-resistance, etc.) , it is very simple.


Choice is yours in doership mode.
