Fundamental Expressions

Financial issue keeps the rich as well as the poor engaged, perplexed and sometimes terrified. We have not solved it despite the fact that we consider ourselves evolved (human) beings. We think more money will give psychological security, safety, stable relief. We think as if this relief, this safety can be stabilised. We do not come to this point but go on seeking, seeking stability. Instead of e...

We think we suffer due to wrong karma, wrong decisions, wrong exercise of options. This calculation keeps us tied to ideas, explanations, theories. What impels us to do wrong karma and so on.  Can we blame ourselves or others? We remain trapped in these ideas.  Can we stop all explanations that arise to cover up the pain of unpleasant results, happenings, options? This stoppage throws us in the fl...

Awakening is to see that there are no problems. We are happy in finding solutions to our problems. There seems to be no end. This is a trap in which the human mind is caught. When you understand that you are in a cage, the cage explodes open. We are under the illusion as if by solving our problems, we will come to a stable ground, we will remain happy. This wait does not let one touch the current...

‘What you face’ or ‘what is happening’ is not under your control-this is simple to understand. Realisation happens when you notice that what you ‘feel’, ‘experience’ is also not under your control. Words can only express what is being experienced. Pick a pen. A whole set of physiological and neurological movements are involved. Now the thinking – I have picked the pen – is expression through words...

You can not depend upon any body else, any activity, any practice, any theory to save you from facing, bearing unpleasant, irritating feelings. Unless you see that there is no escape, you can not touch the Original ground. One thinks as if possessions, relations, techniques can give one stability, stable relief. Can you see that you are already relieved unless in immediate physical danger? Now you...

Science misses the point when it depends upon the outer to phenomenon to understand the Original. It ignores the observer. It is only when the investigating mind becomes a matter of investigation that the Truth is revealed. World arises by your being conscious of it. You and the world is a singular process. Mind posits as if there is something 'other than' this process, something 'apart' from this...

We think as if Life has a solution, permanent solution. We remain trapped in solving our problems instead of living. Discomfort – relief is the moment to moment endless process. There is no stable relief whatever you may get, accomplish or know. This simple noticing concentrates your energy here, takes you to the Truth. Mind instantly converts any disturbing (not liked) situation into lack and see...

We Have to Work, Live and Enjoy. Where does Spirituality Come into Picture? Now you work as compulsion and seek relief through entertainments, intoxications, religious-spiritual ideas, activities. When you do anything as compulsion, you have to essentially seek relief through some other activities. Any irritating feeling you experience, mind runs to solaces or other reliefs. You become inclined to...

Fundamental Understanding (Spirituality) is not a burden to understand. Then it will become another problem. God, soul and so on are the words coined to show that the Universe is Order. Though it may look chaotic, disorderly to you. It is a hit on the mind that what it does not like is also Order. This hit delivers you and not the words. Now every movement is seen as from Order to Order instead of...

Everything is bound by the resistance of it. A building is standing because it is resisting its fall on the ground. A vehicle is moving as it is moving through tractive resistances. Electric current becomes usable because of resistances applied. Our brain operates because of continuous resistance of ‘pain and uncertainty’ it faces. The illusion sees as if the resistance can be or has been undone-h...

Life has not moved an inch away from accidents, diseases, losses despite advances in technology and other economic and scientific innovations. Death is still an enigma despite the fact that we have accepted it as inevitable. To explore this is fundamental inquiry. One thinks as if science, economics or ideas about God will solve the issue. Can one see that any idea postpones the issue? There are t...

Every action is experiment. It means there is a miraculous element between action and result. It is recognizing this element that supremely relaxes you, opens up to limitless possibilities. Connects one to the Original. Staying with ambiguity, uncertainty is discomforting for the mind. Once you rest with this discomfort – whole energy is here. You are on the magical ground. We avoid facing fundame...

Body decays and brain slows down not with the passage of time but when the auto renewal process is vitiated. And the auto renewal process is vitiated when brain is not interested (or less interested) in actual functioning, in actual usage, in actual interaction, with possessions, relations, situations, ideas from moment to moment but in seeking stable relief through them or becomes complacent in r...

Everything is bound by the resistance of it. A building is standing because it is resisting its fall on the ground. A vehicle is moving as it is moving through tractive resistances. Electric current becomes usable because of resistances applied. Our brain operates because of continuous resistance of ‘pain and uncertainty’ it faces. The illusion sees as if the resistance can be or has been undone-h...

In the context of present crisis: Whether you believe in God or deny it; Whether you are relying on scientific or economic explanations; Or any belief or ideas you are holding to explain away ‘what is happening’ – one thing is common to every human being. Though you are physically safe and secured in this moment, but are feeling psychologically insecured, unsafe. Can you see that all your running...

Man has invented physical conveniences. The physical resistances to living have reduced. But it is the psychological resistance which has not been understood. We think as if psychological resistance can be undone or removed. Mind has coined theories in the name of God or other religious-spiritual theories to explain away psychological resistance. It is absorbing the psychological resistance withou...

The present crisis has automatically put you in a position when you are physically safe and secured, but feeling psychologically insecured, unsafe. To acknowledge this insecurity, this unsafety, not to run away from this insecurity (by glossy explanations) is the key. We can not know – what the System of the Universe does – death, devastation, untold misery beyond all calculations. Our intellect i...

We are carried away by what others are doing, achieving. We think as if they have solved the enigma of life and are living psychologically comfortable. We think as if there is some permanent solution. Once we see this, we are face to face with pain and uncertainty we are facing. Whole energy is concentrated here. You want to resolve the mystery of existence or you think by coining the ideas of God...

Body and brain require food and sleep to recharge and remain conscious. This is complete, sufficient in itself. Now any feeling of insufficiency is psychological only. Can one see this? Can one just come to this point that though one is physically safe and secured in the moment, yet feeling uncomfortable due to thoughts about tomorrow, about relations with others, about some unexplainable positive...

We think as if completion will come in time as if now is incomplete and future will become complete. Mind is under the illusion as if uneasiness generated due to anger, fear, confusion, uncertainty can be removed from the mind and one can remain relieved, pleased. Anger, fear, confusion of conflicting options show that logic of the mind has failed or is not working. If one is comfortable with the...

 You have to bear the jerk that whatever has manifested (liked or disliked) is also what you wanted, that is, you have to be comfortable with the uneasiness between ‘what is’ and ‘what you think should be’ without any explanation. Things do not happen as you wish. Thoughts, apprehensions do come to your mind, which you do not like. It means the ‘wishing entity’ is not in control. It means ‘wishing...

We are living on our fears, but do not acknowledge this fact. Life has become so conditioned that we instinctively shy away from our fears and want to remain relieved, pleased. We always remain inclined to suppress our fears by explanations. ‘If you do not study hard, you will not get good marks and then a good job. In your job, boss wants your targets to be completed. In your business, competitor...

By coining the idea of God and so on, one thinks as if one has solved the basic human predicament – ‘why something happens which one dislikes, which is irritating, shocking.’ The avoidance of psychological discomfort is laziness, is the fundamental error which keeps us trapped. We avoid, gloss over the discomfort of uncertainty, discomfort of unpleasant response, discomfort of unpleasant thoughts...

Why human beings have to suffer? We do not question suffering. We do not question resistance, we experience in daily life. We simply go on seeking relief in the hope as if resistance, discomfort (suffering) will be undone or has been undone by the relief and we will land on a stable ground. Can we see that no relief can become stable, permanent? It is only when we see that what we call suffering i...

Issue is not God, but that you face resistance in daily life. Resistance means – your comfort zone is disturbed by sadness, uncertainty, confusion, anger, fear and so on. Can you stay with this disturbance, this pain, this irritating feeling? If you can do this, you have touched the current of life - you are one with the evolutionary process of life. All complications arise as we have separated wo...
