Fundamental Expressions

Mind is exposed to discomfort and uncertainty all the time. You forget this and think that certain possessions, relations or ideas including religious-spiritual can take you away from discomfort and uncertainty. When you are confused, angry, fearful, anxious – be okay with this fact, the whole energy is concentrated here. To seek relief, stability through solacing, consoling words is psychological...

We are carried away by ideas including religious-spiritual as if there is some secret which will give control of our lives to us and we can enjoy stability, stable relief, stable pleasure and so on. Instead, can we be pragmatic and see the format of life. 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 c...

. There is no one thinking. (when you say-‘I am thinking’, this itself is thinking and not the source of thinking) If one sees this, the idea of controlling, moulding the thinking process drops. The Original ground takes over. Thought can refer to anything. It can name anything, describe anything. It can not know its own source. It can not know from where it is arising. Any reference about its sou...

.. ‘You’ is the total field. You and the world is one process. But I face resistance pain-(any thing you dislike) and uncertainty? How can I be total? The resistance you feel is also within the totality. Once you absorb the resistance without any explanation-the total field is realized. You are thinking as if you will come to some clear, definite explanation in respect of ‘what is happening or wha...

It is quite easy, convenient to slip into some stress relieving, tension relieving device or strategy-music, entertainment, meditation, medication, religious-spiritual activities and so on. Any device, any strategy you choose boomerangs as brain can not stay relieved, stay pleased. One may become addicted to the device or strategy. Instead of slipping into diversions-can one stay with the discomfo...

We have been fed by advices, teachings- Do not be angry. Do not be sad. Do not have anxiety. Do not have fear and so on. As if you willingly feel anger, anxiety, sadness, fear and so on and by some advice or practice reverse will happen or these will not arise in future. All attempts to cultivate non-anger, happiness, non-anxiety, non-fear add to frustration as you are quelling your energy by sola...

By what laws, the System of the Universe is operated? Can you see that this question is the product of thinking? Any answer will simply satisfy or dissatisfy you. It can not go further. Can you see that thinking is not the total field? Senses see, touch, listen and so on, breathing in and out is going on, there is memory and imagination and thoughts arising in the mind. Anger, fear, anxiety, happi...

What is the remedy for all the problems? To clearly understand the fact that the feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty is part of natural functioning of the brain. You are on the Original ground. Any practice, device to suppress it, to escape it leads to dullness, decay. When any unfavourable, unpalatable situation arises-brain gathers energy to meet the situation. This gathering of energy may tak...

Every moment, two possibilities exist. Something you want may happen or it may not happen. That is, positive and negative thoughts are there. In unawareness, either the negative thoughts remain unnoticed or one covers them up by ideas, explanations. One is worried, tense not because negative thoughts are there but because one wants to push away these thoughts. When you are comfortable with any irr...

Why we raise the issue of God, meditation, soul, awareness, liberation, enlightenment? Because we want stable relief. We want relief from facing pain and uncertainty. We want relief from facing confusing choices. We want relief from facing irritating, discomforting situations. Unless you are stuck up and see that this relief is illusory, the pressure to see ‘what is’ does not get build up-‘what is...

Truth or God or Original is not knowledge. It is totality expressing from moment to moment-you and the world as a singular process-including what you like-dislike, fear or cherish. It is not knowing ‘what is’ that delivers but seeing ‘what is’ ‘as is’ without any escaping mechanism that connects you to the ground. Unless any support, any relieving mechanism devised by you in the form of guru, God...

One is escaping the psychological discomfort (pain and uncertainty) by depending upon temples, gods, entertainment, intoxications and so on. As if this discomfort will be removed from the mind, one will get stable relief (apart from immediate physical danger, all fears, anxieties are psychological discomforts). Can one see this? There is no way to escape or undo this discomfort. Seeing this clearl...

You do not want God. You do not want Peace. You do not want Awareness. You do not want Liberation, Enlightenment. What you actually want is to fulfill your requirements, desires (almost effortlessly). What you want is-no problems tinkering your mind or the problems should be resolved as you want. Uncertainty makes you anxious, stressed. Can one clearly see this as a fact? Instead of seeing what on...

One uses the word God or takes shelter in the ideas about God as if it refers to something. As it does not refer to anything-one can mould the word as one likes, hence religion as organization is born. Unless we are clear that God does not refer to anything-we will be fighting in the name of religion, ideology, ideas about God. One is not interested or superficially interested in one’s work or wha...

‘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. As digestion of food, circulation of blood, breathing in and out and so on are non-volitional processes-whatever arises in the mind, the thinking process, is also non-volitional. Thinking, memory, imagi...

Fundamental understanding-spirituality- is not an application to obtain results. It is a response to your seeking, to your inquiry, to your question. It is your seeking, your inquiry, your question that explodes as Truth. Your pain, your inquiry, clarity and intensity as to ‘what you want to know’ works as an arrow to find ‘what is True’. Otherwise one is simply satisfied by answers, explanations,...

One does not gather courage to find ‘what is True’ as one does not bear the discomfort of going wrong. One is waylaid as if some one else can give a ready made solution, formula. One is trapped in fitting life into answers, explanations, teachings dished out by others. Unless this dependence, this burden, this hope is deleted from the mind 'what is True' is not revealed. The basic human predicamen...

Any untoward happening, loss, any difficult situation are psychological discomforts. Apart from immediate physical danger, all discomforts are psychological discomforts. Can one see that one is trying to escape the uneasiness of the situation by ideas, explanations? As if the irritating situation should not be there. Hope as an escape from 'what is being experienced now' is bondage to pain. Any fo...

It is only when one does not attend to what one is doing with complete interest that one needs diversions through religious, spiritual activities, talks. Why one does not attend to what one is doing with full interest? One does not bear ‘pain and uncertainty’ as it arises. Escapes give (illusory) comfort. One is trapped. Mind is continuously stirred by positive, negative or neutral impacts. Now th...

The error has taken over the present mind that it should feel happy, stay pleased, stay relieved all the time as if feeling of confusion, fear, any uneasy feeling does not belong to it. If you notice this insistence of the mind, it drops- the Original energy touches you. You are attuned to supreme relaxation with unending friction to operate. When you allow your feelings (fear, confusion, anxiety)...

Mind is under the illusion that logic or any definition can bind the Reality. When it faces something, which is beyond logic, beyond liking, beyond its comfort zone, it rejects by giving expressions like anger, anxiety, stress, fear, confusion, guilt and so on. These expressions give a touch of the non-linear, something beyond logic. Anxiety, fear, confusion, stress means there is an unbridgeable...

One talks about suffering, discusses about suffering as one is safe and secured now. If one is actually in trouble, either one takes action or bears the discomfort, the trouble is giving. Talk about suffering is only to escape the discomfort, to remain in one’s comfort zone, to remain in one‘s pattern of seeking relief by acting compulsively. The idea of suffering is created by the religion or thr...

The format on which mind operates is challenge and response from moment to moment. There is auto arising of challenge. Mind translates the challenge as good or bad. If the judgment is kept at bay, response is relaxed and conscious. The ground is realized. There is no end to the stimuli, which scratch the mind to do, to act, to move, to go ahead. Everything arises as stimuli and response for the in...

‘Why the things are not perfect, why there is negativity all around’-these questions simply demand a satisfactory answer. They can not go further. They take you away from the ‘action mode’. When you see that things are there-‘as they are’-you are one with yourself, one with the Life energy. You automatically come in ‘action mode’ as you have ignored the rest, relief of satisfactory answer. You see...

Brain has to see, absorb the natural friction to come to supreme relaxation - to see the Truth of Existence, the Original ground. Brain escapes or ignores the natural friction on which it is sustained. Apart from immediate physical danger, all discomforts are psychological discomforts, that is, one is experiencing unpleasantness. One is under the illusion as if the outside happening or the other i...
