We try to understand ourselves through things - the things we possess.. and we think of ourself as an object. Our body - the cells - the thoughts - everything changes with time. Our opinions, beliefs, everything changes. So, who am I?
When you stop thinking - when you stop the hyper active mind - you feel alive and present and calm. It's only in this state that new, original, creative thoughts arise. Else 99% of the time our thoughts get recycled and we play the same old story - me and my story.
We're all playing roles. We get so identified with the role unconsciously and over time, it gets difficult to play the role. It becomes tiresome and the mask falls - whether in love or at work.
Don't play conditioned roles. Treat everyone the same way - pope or plumber.
When you get to the alert still state, you relate to humans more genuinely. You become spontaneous. You do not have to prepare what to talk.
Attention = energy = consciousness. Usually attention is absorbed by thoughts.
The intelligence that flows from stillness is very different from society's mind based intelligence. Here we cram a lot - gather wisdom, analyse, research, get into very specific specialities.. that is a different intelligence.
Some children are slow - including Einstein.There is space between their thoughts. When you ask them questions they look deep inside and search for answers - they will not give bookish answers. They are creative, original.
In your unconscious states you may have good and bad thoughts. Mind has polarities. The conditioned mind may make you behave in ways that are not worthy of you. But when you are fully aware you recognize the behaviour and tell that you're wrong. You may not be able to control the conditioned mind at all. As long as its working it may make you repeat certain things. You cannot aim to become perfect as long as you have the conditioned mind. Don't attempt that.
Don't let yourself be identified through the thoughts that arise.
Awareness is not needy. It is not self serving. It does things just for it...It does not cause suffering. True love does not want anything. Its selfless action.
Whereas conditioning - You make the present moment and others into a means to an end.
When you're present to now - you experience the fullness of life. Feel the intensity of aliveness.
When you feel full and alive, your action will have a certain quality. It's not a means to an end. It carries your aliveness and ultimately being conscious will lead you to wealth.
Whereas people who feel they are poor and they need to make money or people who feel they need to build big businesses to show to others who they are, bring the same quality to their work. Even after achieving their goals, due to their conditioning they feel the same. They feel unfulfilled.
You could be free anywhere, even in a prison. Freedom is to step out of thoughts, into awareness. It's ultimately freedom from thoughts. Freedom from future - the psychological pattern.
Never believe that future will bring greater fulfillment than now. Access the power of now, regardless of the external circumstances. Once you start waiting for happiness in the future, no matter what happens, you will continue waiting :-)
If your happiness comes from external circumstances and things and people, the same can also cause unhappiness. A woman who came into your life can becomes a great cause of unhappiness after 3-4 years. A great job initially makes you happy. Later it is so stressful that it makes you so unhappy. Famous people later find their fame a huge issue.
It doesn't mean that one should not pursue goals or fame, but one should not expect them to make oneself happy. True happiness comes from true alignment with one's inner self. It's here and now.
The experiences cannot give you fulfillment. There's no stability in the outside world. Happiness comes from feeling the deeper I - the being.
You can play in the outer world - acquire forms, lose forms.. and finally lose everything.
True love cannot come from the pseudo I - I the poor guy, I the good looking guy..
I am not what happens; I am the space in which things happen; I am NOW;
