The mind is full of doubts
Brahma Prapthi is the role of mind in meditation. Mind is a cluster of clouds watch it. It is between you and me. Bypass it. Be open to my voice. I do not care for your opinions. I want you to be happy i.e paramananda, you should become knowledge. True source of answers need not be doubted. I never consider your mind. It is just full of doubt and conflict out of fears and desires. My answers do not depend on your mind. I am tuned with truth not with opinions.
When I am body conscious I will not be able to answer your questions. There will be no benefit from such answers. No true Guru indulges in opinions. I see things as they are. Existentially as they are. See things as they are not as you like. When you see people as they are you help them enormously. My answer is always ‘do nothing just be.’ In being, all happens naturally. Life is spontaneous or call it accidental. Life is a stream of surprises. There is harmony in nature. You always speak as a person limited in time and space. That is why you may dislike to call life as accidental. Come out of the limitations of time and space. Accidental meaning uncaused... untouched... full of surprises. Life is beyond science. Life is to be lived. Literally there is no time for analysis. The response must be instant. It is in the unknown that we live. Everything known is the past. Some of us respond to the need of the moment, while others make mistakes. Balanced people who are natural spontaneous are ruled by natural law.
Your order is what gives you pleasure and disorder is what gives you pain. But reality is beyond do’s and don’ts, pain and pleasure. You behave as person. You function on your own. You are ego centric, you are a block and have forgotten about the world around and inside you. Be careful, stop misusing your mind. Everything will be well. Stop making things right. It will set itself right, once you let go.
King janaka wakes up and asks vasista rishi ‘am I a king? Dreaming to be a beggar or a beggar dreaming as a king? Vasista says you are both. Janaka feels he is the absolute witness to which Vasista says ‘that is your another identification of ego... when this shatters he can realise his true self. This is the supreme state i e Brahma prapti. This is a state of being. Clarify your mind, any concept is going to miss the real. God soul these are only names. What we already know is just a part. Brahman cannot be spoken about, The mystics, the knowers are those who become that, by remaining silent. Definitions are devices. Do not become a mystic or a knower, but silence speaks a lot. Definitions are various and contradictory. Truth is always beyond mind. Mind is a projection unless you tame the mind. What you experience is just a projection. Stop it and let go, it ceases. Mind has two kinds of projection, positive and negative. Both are not meditation. It is still a thought process. When viscious, experiences felt objectively are projections too. Mind should cease. Thoughts are no more, but there is consciousness.
