The Ultimate Luxury |
|
Can you touch the root of consciousness, that is, the point where thoughts end, from where thoughts originate? In fact ‘you’ can not touch that because there ‘you’ is also out. What the mind is doing is to convert, label every fact or challenge as satisfactory or unsatisfactory before it touches the core. In the case of satisfactory, it wants repetition. In the case of unsatisfactory, it rejects or explains away or hopes for a good future. When you are face to face with a stressful moment and you do not move psychologically, mind sees its helplessness (because the stressful moment is there before you like a solid wall); the door to the limitless opens. When you are face to face with a pleasurable moment and you do not move psychologically, mind sees its helplessness (helplessness in retaining it, as the moment is slipping away); the door to the limitless opens. Every moment mind is trying to solve the mystery of existence through actions, thinking, experiences; ideas (may be about God or any other theory and so on). The mystery of existence can not be solved. It has to be lived AS IT IS. The ultimate luxury lies not in having more or less. It is revealed in the understanding of the truth. It ‘is’. |
