Can You Do Anything In The Moment Otherwise than What Is Happening Through You ?

Can You Do Anything In The Moment Otherwise than What Is Happening Through You ?



Is it not true that for,

whatever is happening through you in this moment'

there are a no of factors responsible (internal-inside body and external-outside body) ; some are known, but mostly unknown

and

perhaps none of them is in your control "in the moment" (as before you think the moment is gone--the moment can never be comprehended/caught by the brain-mind mechanism) ????


Hence there is no chance/possibility of doing anything by so called you otherwise than what is being done or happening through the so called your body-mind instrument.


Whatever you think you can do (thinking included) even in the name of so called holy business called spirituality/religion is nothing but all mind game, that too "happening on its own and consuming the vital energy produced by your body".


Basically the mind the illusory servant which is made up of outside stuff (impressions of experiences) which only appears to be existing, is getting entertained or  by all sorts of mental/physical gymnastics (either internally or externally) and is continuing its illusory existence .


In the field of spirituality or worldly affairs the results/expressions of all this mental or physical gymnastics have been given beautiful names like contentment, happiness, enlightenment, bliss, peace, calmness, self-consciousness, like that.


But the fact remains that you are not the doer as your existence itself is questionable whether you know or not, that does not matter.

Knowing/realising this very eternal/natural fact requires enquiry.

Hence logically it (the factual position) can be safely inferred that perhaps:

"EVERYTHING, IF THERE IS ANYTHING, IS HAPPENING EFFORTLESSLY ON ITS OWN i.e. NOTHING IS IN ANYBODY'S CONTROL IF THERE IS ANYBODY ".

All Masters including Krishna in Gita are in agreement of this fact.

But to understand them (Masters sayings) you have to come out of beliefs/ conditioning.


Hence the practice of  

"ACCEPTANCE OF WHATEVER IS AT A GIVEN MOMENT"

appears to be the most appropriate among all doings/methods/ways/practices

"if at all you can do (so long as the understanding of the above fact has not happened)" ,

because of the fact that

this is the least tiresome (unnecessarily consuming the body's energy) among all mental and physical gymnastics.

Maya---Atom Space

SCIENTISTS SAY THAT 99.999% OF ATOM IS EMPTY SPACE AND THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF EVERYTHING ARE ATOMS ONLY.


IF THIS IS TRUE

THEN THE BIGGEST PUZZLE IS

THAT

WHY THE THINGS LOOK AS THEY LOOK (SOLID, LIQUID AND GAS)

IN STEAD OF

VACANT/EMPTY SPACE I.E. THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SEEN AT ALL I.E. INVISIBLE.


IN A SENSE IS IT NOT THE MAYA I.E. THOSE WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN INVISIBLE ARE VISIBLE ?

CONSCIOUSNESS AND ENERGY

CONSCIOUSNESS AND ENERGY


CONSCIOUSNESS IS BOUND BY SPACE AND TIME --NISARGADATTA MAHARAJ

THE CONSCIOUSNESS IS A BY PRODUCT OF BODY---NISARGADATTA MAHARAJ


IF THE CONSCIOUSNESS IS SO THEN IT MUST BE RELATED TO ENERGY


In mathematical terms my view on this is as under:


1. The consciousness is directly proportional to the amount of activity (flow of impulses/information) going on in the nervous system.

In a sense if we think that we are consciousness, then we are nothing but flow of measurable impulses in nervous system at subtle level and nervous system itself at gross level.

The consciousness is thus a byproduct of various activities going on inside the body and its quantity can be measured.

In a certain body if the amount of consciousness exceeds or goes beyond a certain level at a certain moment i.e. beyond threshold limit, the body becomes aware of itself. For example when we awake in the morning , when someone comes out of comatose state, when someone becomes aware of him/her-self after the effects of the drug/alcohol/goes away...etc.etc..


2. The consciousness is also directly proportional to the amount and level of smooth flow of energy in the body.

If the level of flow of energy is high in the energy body without any obstruction, then the level/amount of consciousness is also high which in turn gives rise to what is known as heightened level of awareness/alertness as the alertness/ awareness is again directly proportional to level of consciousness.

USE IT TO CLARIFY MANY DOUBTS

USE IT TO CLARIFY MANY DOUBTS

If it is true that the "nature has all the faculties as humans/animals have", which in all probabilities appears to be true, then it simply means every atom has all the qualities a human/animal has.

Further it means all the inanimate can listen, speak, think, see, have all types of feeling including touch and taste too.

By this fats many phenomena of the nature or in our life can be understood with clarity. For example the significance of Holy places.

Perhaps the only thing could be that the sense organs are not so separated as is the case with the animals.

Now correlate with the scientific discovery which says that "The functions of the sense organs are inter-changeable".

It means we can listen with the eyes, see with the ears, have the feeling of touch with eyes, etc.

It has been said in scriptures and proved by the science too that the eyes are the instrument with the help of which we see maximum i.e. with other sense organs also we see but the quantity is very less compared to the eyes. Similar is the case with other sense organs.

Sony manufactured a walk-man a long before the so called earphones of which are put on the jaw portion of the face not in the ear and you can listen to the music very well without using your ears.

WHETHER NATURE HAS ALL THE FACULTIES THAT WE THE HUMANS/ANIMALS HAVE

WHETHER NATURE HAS ALL THE FACULTIES THAT WE THE HUMANS/ANIMALS HAVE ?????????????  

WHY NOT ?????

[ GAIA Theory is based on this ]



Can it ever be logically conceived/said that a person,

who supplies certain item/quality to others,

will not be having that item/quality in the first place ?

Perhaps -NO.



Then applying this logic

can we say that

the nature which is the supplier of all of our body parts alongwith the mind,

is not capable of thinking, seeing, listening, touching, tasting, smelling, loving, reacting, being emotional,  etc.?

Karma and its related phenomena explained

Karma and its related phenomena explained

---Nisarga Raman



1. What is Karma ?

Karma is neither a theory nor an unfounded concept.

It is a concept representing the actual state of affairs felt/realised in a certain state of a human consciousness.

That realisation is "EVERYTHING IS JUST HAPPENING ON ITS OWN EFFORTLESSLY."--This is the state in which everything is including Karma Yogi.

Let me explain.

What is the karma of a tree?
What is the karma of the rock?
What is the karma of sun?
What is the karma of Earth?
What is the karma of other stellar bodies in the universe?
What is the karma of water?
What is the karma of fire?
What is the karma of space?
What is the karma of heart,kidney,lung,glands,etc. internal body parts?
What is the karma of soil?
What is the karma of chair,table,car,airplane,etc. all man made things?
What is the karma of all the creatures?
What is the karma of bacteria in our gut system and on our skin?
What is the karma of brain?
What is the karma of our motor organs?
What is the karma of mind,ego,desires and all related phenomenon?

Does the above list not cover whole of the universe except ""the awareness presence or our understanding""?

Can any one of them (whether man made or naturally occurring) go against their "nature or swabhav" (the duty assigned to them). Here nature means inherent qualities in relation to inside or outside of it and the word swabhav is true representative of the qualities. The duty assigned means the purpose for which they are made.

Is any of the above doing its assigned duty with a feeling of doership?

Hence Karma means the duty assigned and being done without a feeling of doership.

The above facts clearly show that karma, if at all it is construed as action, is a happening in which the question of expectation of fruits does not arise at all as there is no feeling of doership there in any of the cases listed above.

If the above facts somehow is felt/realised/understood by just being """AWARE of what is happening""" does one not come to realise that "EVERYTHING IS JUST HAPPENING."?


2. Karma Related Phenomena


The karma theory is applicable in case of ignorant only where feeling/knowledge of doership is present there.

This does not apply on enlightened ones as there is no question of doing on their part i.e. they have known that no one is doer.

There are a no of thoughts/desires continuously "appearing/coming/welling up" in the mind, but most of them remain unfulfilled.

There are two types of desires.

First is essential desires i.e. need based (food, water, air and sleep) and other is non-essential i.e. luxurious/greed based.

The desires related to need once fulfilled, one gets/finds himself free from that desire.


But that is not the case with luxurious desires.

Again luxurious desires are of two types.

The desires related to outer things (except food, water, air and sleep) and can still be fulfilled depending upon the resources.

But the other one which is the ultimate luxurious desire related to religion/ God/ spirituality can never be fulfilled.


The fulfillment of a particular desire depends upon fulfillment of a no. of factors/ favourable circumstances.

But most of them (factors) are either unknown (hence not in our control) and even if they are known most of them are not in our control.

But once a desire wells up in the mind an amount of energy is consumed for its creation.

It remains in a corner of mind (assumption) as impression so long as it is not fulfilled in totality.

Its impression gets annihilated only when it is fulfilled in totality.

As most of them remain unfulfilled they get stuck in the energy body and are known as knots or granthies in yogic language (bandhan).

This is called being entangled in karma (Karmo ka bandhan).

These knots are being regularly produced (except in deep sleep sate) due to our unawareness to the happening of these things inside.

They are not produced in case of enlightened ones as they are fully aware/alert.

Prarabdha is such accumulated bandhans (granthies) energy before happening of their enlightenment .

So they have to be got cleared of those granthies but feeling of doership has gone in them.

Hence they suffer as per our point of view.

Hence in my view the explanation of the karma theory in common parlance is quite a misunderstood/mis-interpretated explanation.


I request you all to correlate the above with various statements of Masters and suggest improvement.

TWO TOOLS BEST

Simply try to figure out or investigate "whether 'you' are doing any action or the action is happening through you". Perhaps nothing more is required to have clarity.


Another equally important simple tool is to investigate "Whether you are body or mind or both or none."
