Seeing through the fixation of ‘me’.
“This Consciousness is hard to bear, which is why people become involved in worldly activities”.
“Self-Knowledge is beyond all words and concepts” – Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.
We may sense the pain in others and we may wish to ease the pain in others. But the problem is closer to ‘home’.
The ’cause’ for psychological pain is belief in something that does not exist. If you have a broken bone, you can pin point the pain spot. Psychological pain does not have a ‘location’, a spot, and if you explore that apparent spot consciously, it is naturally seen through. The energy that WAS going into belief is retained by the seeing….and since nothing can exist without energy, the psychological projection dissolves naturally. Seeing that ‘it’ is not real NOW eliminates the past belief in it…………so NOW, how can one ever believe in it again? NOW is all there is.
It may catch you out briefly……..for awhile but since you have already seen through it………..it can’t really keep you under the spell.
“Do not become a slave of your own thoughts” – Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.
Many insist that a practice is necessary. A practice may appear to be useful for a short time but it need not be made into a God.
There is no need of any practice – because this moment is fresh and new. To impose a practice can only come from the mind, which is time.
The imposition of the past on the present is not liberation – it is bondage for the one who imagines that it is making a practice.
All practice is a fiction, neither true nor false. It is in the mind.
The one who imagine that it will get MORE or change what IS, is a deluded sense of me. There are no two ways about it.
The conditioning which is culture, cannot escape from its own limitations. The ONLY way out is to SEE that you were NEVER in it. Not being in it, where is the need to get out of it?
