WHY NOT CLARITY

WHY NOT CLARITY


There are two types of reality..


1. Practical Reality or Objective Reality :

----Subject and object both present---

----Our day to day experiences..... at which level that is not important..

----all within the grasp of mind-brain system..

----whether the so called worldly or the so called spiritual (out of wordily)....

----all happening within the feeling/knowledge of separation i.e duality

-----This is a truth not a fiction and about which everyone is aware.



2. Impractical Reality:

---- Subject and Object both missing......

---- Beyond the grasp of mind-brain system labeled as non-dual state..........no mind state.....unknowable........

---- only can be imagined as true........

---- conceptual.........

---- so called subjective reality.......

---- can never be proved by any means if at all there is any such reality at subtle level because there remains no separation among experiencer(subject), the object of experiencing and the process of experiencing........

---- perhaps will remain unproved forever......

---- if proved then that again will come under first category................

---- God, Soul, Now, Moment, Enlightenment, etc..all such abstract words fall in this category.


But unfortunately what happens is that at the time of discussion we don't remain aware of this simple difference and by mixing both we get confused which could have easily been avoided.

BODY (NATURE) HAS NO EXPECTATION


BODY (NATURE) HAS NO EXPECTATION


Perhaps without any expectation

the body which is nothing but nature

is already taking care of us or holding us

so that

we may be known/recognized by others in this nature/world.



Perhaps as a minimum reverence/gratefulness towards it

at least we should be simply "attentive" to it

as and when we feel free from our busy schedule i.e. giving continuous attention to all except this beautiful non-demanding instrument.


We don’t care (give attention) the body

perhaps because of the brainwashing by the so called spiritual/religious persons

that


.....we are shoul/spirit/atma/God and what not all fictions/imaginations, but not the body………

…..take care of soul as that is permanent…

….. our souls have come to the earth to evolve further as if they (Brain washers) are the managers of the universe………

…..body is temporary…...

....take interest/seek in/for the permanent as we are permanent……….


but

when it comes to their own case the very same preachers who were engaged in brainwashing / hypnotizing us, start going to doctors and all sorts of healing sytems when their body become diseased……….



[ Some may not go for healing the body because of strongly hypnotized state (whether by others or by own effort) in which no pain is felt ]

Note: There may be some exceptions too but I have personally reservation about those exception. Further the above is not meant to hurt anyone.

NO WAY TO KNOW YOURSELF

NO WAY TO KNOW YOURSELF


"WE CAN KNOW EVERYTHING , BUT OURSELVES "


The above conclusive statement

"has been repeated / is being repeated / perhaps will be repeated" time and again in different "manners/ways/words"

by all the Masters without any exception

after knowing the futility of all the efforts they made before coming to this conclusion.

The declaration is logically valid too.



The beauty is that

there is no way "not to make effort"

before coming to this conclusion.

MIND



ARE WE MIND ??






1. The small child has brain but not mind i.e. hardware but without operating system and data and applications programmes.



2. Development of Mind;

The so called mind starts developing with the help of inputs from the sense organs.

The inputs may be given by others or taken by one’s own efforts.

It means the source of whole of the contents of mind is outside the human body.

The data and programmes which are in the form of just impressions collectively called mind at any given point of time and goes on growing/updating continuously.

Therefore the mind is continuously changing without our awareness.



3. Needs for survival:

For the survival of the body, the mind is not necessary. To survive, this intelligent instrument needs only five things which are:

A. Air (oxygen) , a gift from nature.

B. Water ,a gift from nature.

C. Sleep , also a gift from nature.

D. Food , almost a gift from nature (we get a no of seeds/plants from one seed used for growing) but the body requires to do some labour.

E. The working mind inbuilt in all creatures, also a gift from nature.


Just imagine that if a child is provided all the above four (A to D) throughout life without being given any mental input.

Will he/she not be able to survive without mind ?

May be not so smoothly.

The life as such has nothing to do with mental inputs.

It goes on and on manifesting/expressing itself though various forms in different ways.


The mind is required only for verbal communications.

The life as such is not bothered about the mind.

Take the example of person lying on bed in coma.

The life is present there keeping other vital organs active but mind is not functioning.

Hence at shuttle level or in another sense the mind is nothing less than a luxury (no need but having).




4. Living without Mind:

Every night this so called mind is almost absent especially in non-REM (no dream) state, but in that absence also the life which we are in reality, survives .

If we would have been mind we would have gone/died in the absence of the mind.



5. Awareness of Mind:

Generally nobody creates his/her mind consciously.

That is why nobody can control the mind.

The creation of mind in early phase of our life i.e. childhood is not in our hand because as children we are handicapped due to absence of any such programme which can decide whether so and so inputs are worth having/taking or not.

We as children are plane slate on which others write.

Therefore so many things are put inside this brain without our consent.

The tragedy is that we never become aware of this going on conditioning(creation of mind) even when we become fully grown up when something is either put into by others or when we put in at our own.

We behave as an unconscious(sleep walkers) persons.

We never think whether the data going inside has any relation with things needed to support the life as such i.e. air, water, food , sleep and working mind ,which are the only needs for survival/continuation (in present form) of life which we are.



6. Where is the Mind:

Further till date the location of mind has not been found by anyone.

Sometimes questions have also been raised even about the existence of mind itself by many so called "self-realised/enlightened/wise men" persons.

There are many statements are like “ Mind is a myth”, “Mind is an illusion” “Mind is nothing but a sum total of impulsive reactions depending upon the training the body has received” "Mind is just an idea".....like that.

Its a simple logic that in case of any search by any person the person (subject) searching must be separate/different from the object of search.

But here the real problem in the search of mind is that the very mind is searching itself.

The same is the situation with all the so called spiritual seekers because they are seeking themselves which is naturally not possible.

Not only that they are seeking the so called real with the help of the mind which itself is an illusion or does not exist as such.

In Gita Krishna says--I am beyond  mind and the sense organs.

But fortunately or unfortunately is that we have no instrument other than this so called mind only for searching anything whatsoever.



7. Scientific Development:

The artificial intelligence has created a possibility that in future chips with relevant data will be implanted directly into human brain.

No need to cram the books to become doctor, engineer, C.A., pundit, padri, mullah, etc.

No vacuum will be felt on the death of a great scientist or a poet or anyone because before he dies all the programmes and data will be copied and as and when required it will be pasted in a healthy person’s brain and he will start from there where the dead one left.

Don’t take it as a fiction.

It is going to be real in very near future because this idea is based upon the scientific developments in various fields especially artificial intelligence and growing computing power being reported from time to time.

Our brain functions exactly like computer or any other creature’s brain but perhaps because of so called "self-consciousness" we consider ourselves better than other creatures without consulting other creatures.

Perhaps the time is not too far when this supremacy will be proved a sheer myth when we will be able to communicated with other creatures in our language with the help of machines.
