Life is ever changing is a known ‘idea’. However there seems
to be a craze or inherent property in humans to grasp all form of change, as if from a unchanging form, in order to take control of the form. It's as if, man can with his limited understanding, imagine nature in its ever changing format, and freeze change to a linear format, to enable him meet up with the demands of the change. We 'think' we can understand 'creation’ in its entirety. Apparently, this seems to help in living, as if to make living
easier or meaningful, purposeful and less painful or more controlled. It gives
a confidence to plan future with maximum pleasure or minimum pain, thus giving
a sense of control over one’s ‘life’.
Therefore, only humans know all that is , in creation,
through this prism of thinking called logic linked to knowledge. We even know about how the creator
creates. Luckily there is no end to such knowing, as if the game between nature
and human mind, is always moving in a state of ‘catch me if you can’ scheme.
So, change has become the biggest thing in human life that
needs to be controlled, by getting it into the frame of ‘known’, as if, we have
some kind of armour, to save ourselves from its unknown areas. There is always
a fear of the unknown, which is pushing mankind to get all unknowable formats
into ‘our’ known formats. Hence the known content keeps increasing, as our
knowledge, to help us deal with the ‘unknown’. In fact the knowledge of the
unknown is more suitable to factor this, but such a sentence seems illogical.
Knowing, as knowledge and as concepts, gives meaning to
reality and thereby ‘manifesting’ reality in this ever changing game of nature.
It gives us a chance of being its controller, and help us manipulate the ‘known’
to face the unknown. It’s like we can use the past to conquer the future. It
gives the feeling of being separate entities indulging in the game of ‘using’
nature to one’s benefit, in order to play the game of duality, adventurously.
In the right way, its an option for a lot of fun and games and makes living a
playful atmosphere. However on the negative side, it can influence the individual
to feel helpless and unworthy and send him into a victimised world. So its necessary
to know what the creation is and what we are in order to surrender when the
going gets rough and the game becomes unenjoyable. For most of us, the world is
a dangerous zone that has be negotiated with a lot of effort and it gets tiring
to play the game of individuality from birth to death. The society is
responsible for putting the veil of ignorance so that the ‘wholeness’ of
creation is hidden with respect to the duality that we experience and the
standard or human living is taking more and more challenges to live life
simply. The compulsion to get into the game of duality starts at an young age
and is totally forgotten that this addiction needs to be taken lightly, or else
the power of the game is always stronger than its manipulation. The game is as much a manipulator than we separate
individuals, that it goes unnoticed and gets violent sooner or later. However
in the end, we have a chance to reconcile and surrender our individuality to be
merged into the wholeness and forget about all the hardships that we undertook
in the imagination of our individual reality
The belief system make ‘facts’ out of beliefs and ‘cast’ the
spell of reality or objectivity to the ever-changing flux of creation. Science
and Society widen the range of belief system to tear our roots in wholeness and
keep us in the vortex of individuality. There is no way out from the ride on
the giant wheel of thinking and grasping, because it becomes the very nature of
human existence experiencing creation as an external world, separate form
oneself, that needs to be negotiate and harness to live happily. One day it
becomes tiring and we collapse. But creation being the mother of all
objectivity, has to embrace itself in the whatever state we are and unveil our
true nature, so that we may take pride in its mysteries and be in awe at what
it can unfold, all the time.
The Mind or faculty of thinking based on logic, which is simply
a tool to manifest the dualistic nature of the world, is the most wonderful
instrument that allows us experience objectivity, but when we ignore the
essence of nature as being our own self, and start believing in our own
manifestation as absolute reality, separate from us, it begins to ‘bite’ and
harm us from being able to live in harmony with the rest of the creation. Thus
the magic of non-duality goes un-noticed and in most of the cases results in
non acceptance of what the creation unfolds, leading us to be in sorrow and feel
victimised by the power of the external world that we need to negotiate.
Grasping is conceptualising in limitations. So when an
object moves, we try to grasp it as moving in constant speed, or constant
acceleration or constant change of acceleration or constant format of motion as
symbolised by a mathematical formula, etc etc. Similarly, limiting change into
fragments of patterns with some kind of a ‘constant’ seems to be a mathematical
faculty of thought, in case, one could define thought mathematically. So even chaos will be thought one day, into a
pattern, or order, as if order is a theme of creation, that has to be followed
by all creation, as its ‘basis’. Then we can control nature and live happily. That’s
the basis of grasping or thinking. And the game goes on birth to death.
At some point the game goes out of hand and gets to be
witnessed outside of our routine belief or in the absence of our beliefs and
suddenly, we understand that the whole game came into ‘realistic’ existence
with the use of our beliefs and began to manifest as reality. Or else, its
nature was a very light dream, full of change and being experienced in all its
colours and dimension, making the change as the primary symptom of creativity. If
one could ride the wave of change, by simply surrendering to the changes that
unfold, knowing that all of this is only an experience, we could have all of
creation as our main entertainer, experiencing its magical unfoldment bathe us
in its totality. We could then appreciate how lucky we are to be alive and
experience all of this that is happening around us, by being its only experience
-er and not separate from it. Its would be entirely a different world,
fruitful in its existence and enjoyable to its very core. It would require a
lot of vigilance not to be pulled into becoming part of the thinking world,
where thought creates reality and though creates the limited ‘me’ just to make
a play and not for any seriousness. It becomes more lovable, rich and
impressive.
So wake up to the reality that thoughts are unreal and only meant
to grasp the virtual into a state of realness only as a game of life and live happily thereafter.
