Simply, simplicity to simplicity, through complexities!

Simplicity is difficult to comprehend and hence, complexities are born, borne and propagated.  "It is too good to be true," if that is the belief, disbelieving one’s experiences of the pristine purity and simplicity of the magnanimity, unconditional, of the Source of all, this is what would be the creation. The day, en masse, is realized that we are one, appearing differently, as different and unique energy manifestations of the same universal energy of creation, we would realize that inherent connected-ness...and thus, the collective that we are leading, individually as well as collectively.... Yet, for that to happen, ultimate and primary is self-acceptance, unconditional...self-knowledge, the sole essential knowledge, beholding the answers to everything, forwarding the journey of self-realization, the purpose sole of life on Earth.

Everything begins at home, within.... One who judges not self, judges not others, too, finding the uniqueness, as in self, so in all...as parts of the unique branches of the same infinite tree...actualizing the Native American proverb: "No tree has branches so foolish as to fight amongst themselves."  Yet, life, life-affirming always, purpose, self-realization, the process leads to and through the same, inevitably...and unavoidably! Again, it is the same magnanimity, constant and unconditional, that, ultimately, guides one and all, to self-realization, God-realization, and thus, eases all perturbations, as judgments cease to be.... The cycle completes its journey, from simplicity to simplicity, through the intervening complexity, which dissolves, through the eternity, dissolving in the irresistible magnanimity of the Source, within...presenting the same, without, too.... And no wonder, revolving and evolving, evolving and revolving, thus, life is realized to be evolutionary, revolutionary immeasurably....

All is sourced from, rooted and routed to, one, and hence, is..... Had it been otherwise, it would have been otherwise.... The beauty of realizing the simplicity in diversity, as unity made manifest,  we are thus not kept away from,  swept off the conditioned thinking, disconnecting from the same, forever, soaring and transcending, accessing the connection with the Source, eternal.... For It we are, and to realize It, we are, and realize, It, we, guided by It, in a journey from simplicity to simplicity through complexities, a journey from the Source to the Source, guided by the Source...the Life Force....

Post script: Acknowledged is dear friend, Jyoti Sondhi―and not for the first time―for this posting...the scripting...experiencing the grace, in, as and through the scripting, fulfilling, and its posting, fulfilling, equally. Once again, as she serves as the external catalyst, resonating with the Ultimate, within, the manifested, the post, manifests the very inherent connected-ness, which calls forth what it does, always coherent, sourced to one, being one at source.

     

Resonance of faith

• Faith is encouragement.
• Encouragement inspires, by way of instilling confidence.
• Confidence incites insights...acts, which aren’t in sight otherwise, plucking from all that is there already, has been always, with the receptivity just ripe for the receipt.
• Mechanism of faith is multi-faceted:

ü      Activates consciously the natural laws of reciprocity.

ü      Realizes the oneness at source, of all, with the oneness of the Source: one and infinite.

ü      Materialization is of the energy, energized...set into motion.

ü      Faith entrusted in God, the Source—our very essence and not anything or anyone separate from us—the universal and essential energy, the life force, and surrendered to It, with self, as an individual, out of the way, allows the uninhibited flow of the real power that is, to manifest, in ways, grander than the grandest and wildest, but not wilder, of imaginations!

ü      Faith entrusted in a being, too, is so. But, from the physical perspective, if one has to explain, then it could be explained as: When a being is trusted, a being is encouraged...a being is led to redeem oneself...even beyond one’s own esteem of self...and knowingly or unknowingly, accesses and utilizes the life force that courses through.

• In whichever way we explain, ultimate is, the resonance, that, it facilitates, facilitating the manifestation.

Life is resonance, conscious or unconscious, made manifest. Even that, which we consider life to be infested with, is the manifestation coherent, a belief or disbelief of the collective. The perceived incoherence, is but an absence of the awareness of the inherent, the essence powerful, that works in us...as us...through us. Critical it is, thus, to be in conscious connection with the essence that we are, to make a sense of life...and for creating conscious creations...impacts. Faith, lived, we leave not traces of discontent on the sands of eternity, as we live with and as the realization, that, the critical mass for manifestation is not dependent on generating it without, but within, and being it—being thus the life force that flows within, and out—the force gathers momentum and mass, and thus, the critical mass is attained, from within to without.

Resonance within, is resonance without.... And with and as faith, as faith in one’s unique self, the conscious resonance with one’s being, leads through the process of manifestation consciously, manifesting consciously....

Life is a matter of faith, as faith matters.... Life is not about ephemeral inheritance but eternal resonance with self.... Life is about realizing the self, facilitated by resonance with self: Resonance, thy name is faith!

Limitation is imitation

Living as an “imitation,”

Life is perceived and received,

As the thus created limitations.

Mired in the thoughts conditioned,

The mind is stalked,

By the stock of inhibition,

Imposing the same as prohibition,

Calling it: Life’s limitations.

Yet, the mind awakened to the soul,

As cognizes and accepts the purpose sole,

Realizes: Limitations are none.

Mind, mindful, seeing through the illusions,

Embracing life’s eternal invitation,

Calls out: Limitations are, but an imitation!

Freedom is, from fear

As moments are lived, living in the moment, realized  is more and more the evolving meaning of Rabindranath Tagore's "Where The Mind Is Without Fear." Realized is that freedom is the state of mind's absolute freedom from fear...its freedom from its very own inhibiting and prohibitive cultural indoctrination, its conditioned thinking. Shackles are not external, but internal...a mind fettered with  thoughts regressive, wired to the past that has passed for ever, mired in doubts, courting bouts—intermittent and frequent—of fear: superimposition of the past on the present.  

Realized is that this journey of realization is the journey of liberation, of the mind from the mind, reposing to, immersing and staying immersed, permanently, in the essence of being, inherently free, allowing itself to be guided as the tool that it is, relinquishing the superficial notion of being the doer. As it surrenders itself to the essence, the soul, and thus the Source of being, it ends its superficial reign, handing over its reins, with gratitude and glee, fully free, to the Source. And in such a state of awareness, comes out from within (a manifestation of a resonance, with a sharing by Neale Donald Walsch, on Facebook, on June 20, 2014), from the core:

Where the mind is without fear,

The path is absolutely clear,

As to that one does adhere,

For which one has come here.

Maya Angelou: Still I Rise....

That she does, as angelic is her presence...her essence....

As her physical form ceases to be, her, "Still I Rise," reverberating in the consciousness, since the time I got the opportunity to read it (thanks to a student-cum-friend, Mahasweta Podder), experiences a rise in the frequency, coursing through with further momentum.

Paradoxically, the news of her "crossing over," as is received, I get to know that which I didn't: I have been sharing the same phase of eternity, in physical form, with her, though, I had thought otherwise. Why, I know not. And that matters not.... The essence never ceases to be...and thus, her presence, as has been felt, will continue to be.

In fact, even in this, her, "Still I Rise" is heard...! Poignant and powerful...inspiring and inviting...affirming and encouraging....

Yes, she will continue to rise through eternity...having indelibly imprinted eternity...though her body is put to rest.... She stands for an indomitable "rising" and her words seem to waft within: "Still I rise...though no longer I am in form called 'Maya Angelou'...and I will continue to, for ever...."

I take this opportunity to thank her, and express my regards and tribute to her, knowing well, the essence connects independent of the form....

The taste that she has imparted...will continue to rise...and linger...and inspire...eternity...through eternity...eternally....

Invocation of prana, life, and faith

Deifying the divine, the life force, as idols are worshipped, they are, after the ritual (performed by the “qualified,” hailed as the connecting medium) of prana pratishtha, invoking life in the lifeless form. And in cases of festivals where the idol is immersed in water, like Durga Puja, the deity is invoked, again, to leave the form to render it lifeless, and the ritual is of visarjan.

Coming to the one of prana pratishtha, and obviously, all is a matter of faith and not contention, but of utter regard, one faith honoring the other, while it continues to follow its own path, fully, the queries arise:

• Why an external medium is required to connect to the divine?
• Is it not because the divine is placed out of us, while found within one realizes that It is that sublime sense of love, Its essence, unconditional love, which only one can feel, and no connector is required for the same? Though, it is also is true that there are many who connect to the external form without needing any connector. Nothing is being generalized, as important is faith, and each one has unique ways and means of connecting, as is acknowledged that the guru within, our essential essence, does come out in a form that one would be receptive to, the form could be animate or inanimate, guiding one to ultimately transcend the forms and find the divine in the formless...everywhere...in everything...every being...Its omnipresence, omnipotence, omniscience, realized, as is realized oneness with It, as every manifestation happens within, as all is experiential.
• Is not deifying the divine, a futile attempt at trying to confine the infinite in the edifice of a form, and limiting Its experience, and that of life? And has not this, also, led to acts deplorable in the name of the divine, as also, claims of one’s ways as the way and one’s God as the most powerful and best?
• Anyways, acknowledging all as the infinite ways and means of accessing and realizing the life force, the essential energy that we all are in form, albeit, vibrating at different frequencies, still, the query knocks that while idols are worshiped, as prana is perceived in them, as is believed to have been invoked in them, why is it so difficult to invoke the prana that flows through us, the life force? It flows so we are.... It simply has to be believed in and called forth, realized.
• Is it because it seems too good to be true?

At the end of it all it is all a matter of awareness.... That which we are aware of being and having, with faith in the awareness, that we bring to being...that we invoke, as thus we resonate with the prana that flows in, as and through them, and thus, establish (pratistha) them as realities of our life.

Awareness becomes aware to the query: How do we not take cognizance of the prana that establishes us...for which we are in form, the very form we hold as our real reality?

Life, recycled, eternally....

Life is an eternal cycle, its process thus of eternal recycling, as life is recycled eternally.... A process of eternal conservation of soul it is, moving through eternity, undergoing infinite transformations, so as to realize the infinite essence that it is.... In bodily form, with the unique combination of a unique mind to go with it, when the body goes with the mind, disconnected from the sense of the essence, nothing seems to go right, as we then embody not the soul but the mind. It is a superficial living, spending of life, bereft of the sensitivity and sensibility of the essence, and we complain of being taken for a ride by life. How and what else can it be, when we cycle but the limbs are not our own...when we move yet the direction is not known...when we move yet, know not why we do...when we move chained to the fetters of “shoulds” even though the movement doesn’t feel true?

But life, ever-affirming, its purpose, to lead us to our origin, which is our destination final, keeps cycling, untiringly, the soul transforming, from lifetimes to lifetimes, and presents with recurrent repetitions, as petitions to change our response, evolve them. And it is not only through lifetimes that repetitions appear, but, in, as and through the times of a given lifetime, too—this, an earnest introspection would clearly speak out as, as are retrieved incidents and evolved take on them from the recycle bin of memory, irrespective of how long they have been lounging there. So long we keep repeating the same choices, the ones which are inverse to the essence of life, detrimental to our purpose, life, keeps repeating the representations.... Thus, the cycle of life.... Hence, the repetitions....

As, en masse, humanity is being awakened to the indispensability of recycling, of preserving and conserving the resources, so as to utilize and honor them, to make them available to all, and keep them available for posterity, the process of life, in, as and through human form is a lesson in why and how life is cycled, eternally, and life is thus eternally recycled to realize its fullest potential and purpose, unchained fully, flowing as the essential essence completely.
