Life is a mutual fund…

It is a “mutual fund,” life on the physical plane, wherein, we are investing and which we are redeeming, whether we know or not, as every single thought, thought, as even that contributes towards that fund, either increasing or decreasing the NAV (net asset value), irrespective of however much we hold the external SENSEX as the determinant. These are those exchanges, within, which, when sensed, realized are to be in exchange of which the manifestations are. 

How we deem our own selves, is what we redeem, and thus, our life teems with teams of events and moments, dim or bright. The light of truth, of being, when seen and allowed to shine, the NAV, the net asset value is realized to be immeasurable, and thus, its redemption inexhaustible, funding constant, infinitely, permanently abundant, and redundant, the external factors, that are factored out, as all is worked out in one’s favor, transcending the appearances to the contrary as just that, “appearances,” symbolic of the greater picture, non-apparent, which is seen as is seen through the apparent.

Shareholder is each, and when one doesn’t hold back the truth of being, playing out one’s true share, one realizes, too, the true share, ensnared by nothing, the mutual fund constantly funded, consciously, being aware, fully, not required to beware of anything, the pitfalls, filled, no pits to fall in. Risks are taken spontaneously, instead of loitering in the deemed comfort zone yet non-functional, of the conventional, not only the sum assured but much more! The uncharted charts the route to unprecedented proceeds, growth, ever on the rise, with recession not a consideration, as is not ever, the commission infinite, received, and likewise, the dividend, accrued, on this mission!

Funding in one’s own self, the mutual fund keeps on swelling, initiating and furthering the wellbeing of one and all, this sojourn, physical, as individual, as mutual, it is, and is, for furthering the journey eternal, ethereal, the fund going way beyond material, as is the real…—that which matters, the matter real—realized through the process, the process processing the purpose of the path through the path of purpose, realizing that NAV, unique, immeasurable, inexhaustible, of self, and inspiring the realization of that of all!

Mutually appreciative humanity

The process is always, and entirely, cyclic of life…. There is no other way to it, and thus, many a time, realizations happen seemingly in a roundabout fashion. Realizations, are fashioned in all ways, ways thus myriad and roundabout, too, as life is all about realizations, realizing all that is…our being, and thus all that there is…. There are bouts of revelations, and then, steady stream, leaving no room for any doubt, whatsoever, about what it is all about!

That, which we appreciate, appreciates…grows…. And that which we share, grows, too, as by sharing we appreciate, acknowledge it…. It depreciates not, rather, precipitates the richness intrinsic, when the same is appreciated: the unique creation that we are, imbued with unique creativity.  It is like fanning the fire, giving expression to the richness, while stoking and choking it is, when is repressed….

Appreciation, encouragement, crystallizes the unseen and even the unimagined, brilliance, the eternal inheritance, the essence of being…. And the ultimate appreciation, and that which essentially matters, is self-appreciation, as the journey is of self-realization. Though, till one is unaware of self, external appreciations and criticisms do matter. But with maturity, self-awareness, even when the appreciations are not forthcoming, from the external, and even when they are, the matter real is made material, self, realized—detached completely from both criticisms and appreciations alike….

Appreciation it is of the fact that no two are alike, as each “piece” is unique, and thus, appreciative of self, so is one of all…and instead of acrimony, it is harmony…and, even the hailed, “mutual admiration society,” transforms, as transcends to “mutually appreciative humanity”…. The transition, from mutual admiration society to mutually appreciative humanity, happens, stepping into the appreciation of uniqueness, of being, and thus, of all….

Life is realized to be “happening,” humanity thriving, consciously utilizing the natural reciprocity: the mechanism behind life’s functioning. Divinity realized, within, precipitates en masse realization of the same…. Humanity, appreciating divinity, appreciates, realizes, en masse, the intrinsic divinity….

Why, the teacher appears only when the student is ready?

Recurrently, and that, too, a frequent recurrence…is the utterance, not without reason though, as nothing is so: “The teacher appears when the student is ready.” It is not a myth, though, when the appearance is, it is not expected, and many a time, mystical, surreal, but the reality undeniable….

Such are the presentations of life…yet, drawn by life, within…

This observation, as serves its purpose, the query, too, does… The query was evoked, “Why, the teacher appears only when the student is ready?” when it was…and today, reading a beautiful post by a friend, Vijay Nallawala, “The 3 i’s of an Icon” (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/3is-icon-vijay-nallawala-1), the evoked comment, appreciation, is found to contain the following, as a part of it: "‘When the student is ready, the teacher appears.’ And so it is, as one we are at source, each manifestation, thus, a manifestation of a level of our consciousness, and hence, as the healer as well as the healed, as the teacher as well as the taught... It is all drawn individually, mutually...and collectively...presenting the awe-inspiring presentations!”

The answer that was received and noted, finds itself shared, too….thus…and thus, delivers this post, too…and all is, yes, a matter of readiness, a matter of synchronicity. All is present, in and as the consciousness, as the one universal energy blanket. It is just that the receptivity to it, gives it its identity, in the way, “form” it is ready to be received, to serve its purpose…. Why didn’t this post come out before it does…or why didn’t it wait for a latter moment? And so it stands true, when it comes to reading it…

The same mechanism it is always, and so has been received the infinite blessing, Neale Donald Walsch’s Conversations with God…and all, that has been realized…received…and is being, and will be….

It is all about resonance…matching of vibes, as all is energy…be it the thoughts…the things…the beings… All is and are energy, expressing itself...and thus are received revelations, too…in sublime moments of receptivity, to the Source of being—the universal energy of creation—receiving thus, the received, with and as sparking clarity.

Of course, experiences vary, each and all unique, and generalization is the option that leaves us with limited options, while the ensemble is unlimited. Hence, would simply and humbly note, I agree with the adage as well as the received answer—and thus, shared—as that is the experience, and the same gets added force, as is reinforced, life’s synchronicities a fact, an awe-inspiring fact…. But, please don’t believe in it as a fact, so long it is not so for you. So long it is not so, it remains so-called for you! That is the beauty of truth…

Meanings change by leaps and bounds

As layers of ignorance are peeled,

And the self is revealed,

“Look before leap”

Transforms to “Feel before you leap.”

Feeling the vibes,

Before the leap,

One fails not to reap,

On one’s life a firm grip.

(From the poem "Feel the look, before you leap!")

Seeking and Proving

One, who seeks proofs, seeks to prove, yet, there is nothing to seek and nothing to prove—realized, when is!

The journey of life, as is guided by the infinitely intelligent self-referral, always sensing and receiving the signals from the Source of self, Source of being, though, might appear to be moving through turbulence more, than the stillness of peace, actually, guides us to the peace of the awareness of the whole piece that we are of creation—none alike, each unique. The reference is always the self, the true self that doesn’t meet the eyes. And to meet it, to what extremes we go, and then, finding selves, repeatedly, in the eye of storms, and quite magically storm out of the same, too, as if simply lifted we are, we are ultimately led to meet that which doesn’t meet the eye…the real “i.”

We meet ourselves…and all rhyme and reasons, for happenings, gradually fall into place, even if not apparent, as the missing piece, the sense of belonging and being, our very existence, is sensed and lived every bit, in the present tense, no longer wailing over the past and apprehending the future. The rhyme and rhythm is found in the grime, too, the external clime transcended by that within. The chime of truth, heard in silence, silences the rest. Then, we do not have the eyes to see outside…either to peek into the past or to sneak into the future, as the sight is turned inward, and the visions, received, none, bleak. And even when the vestiges of the past, revisit, the experiences passed but effects recalled, the mind is invested in it not, as then, no seeking is called forth, as seeking isn’t felt to be called for….

What for? Because, the game of hide-and-seek is over! The pains, discontent, that hitherto formed the contents of one’s life, are realized to be the doing of self, the mechanism of self-referral working, always, with no question of “overtime,” ever, arising! It is the self, referring to self, and calling out, and as is heard and acknowledged, accepted and embraced, transcending all conventions, finding the truth of the unique divine self, unbound by any and all conventions, one receives everything…. That which was hiding…because, was unheeded, as is found, and “feeds” from it are steadily received, realized is the fact that all through, the seeking outside, yielding nothing but everything, as ultimately is directed the seeking inward, had been the undoing…. The “feedback” leads us back to what innately is yearned for…solely….

Thus, seeking what nots, yet, knowing not what...seeking proofs, and seeking to prove, ultimately, one realizes and affirms: “One, who seeks proofs, seeks to prove, yet, there is nothing to seek and nothing to prove, as has been proved, that that which is actually there to seek, is what, who, we actually are already…all ready, to be found….”

Everything being within, and that hiding, justification was sought outside, and thus, of others, and likewise of self, too…. Yet, finding everything within, realizing, the journey is of realizing all that that already is, is the purpose sole, and there isn’t anything to prove…explain…claim…and none to blame, realized is thus, alongwith, no proofs are to be sought. In fact, not even an iota of concentration is to be wasted on anything else, when the taste of the true self, the real “i” beckons to be tasted permanently, and its flavor, aroma oozes to touch any and many…. It is the light within, of unique intensity, that lights from within, surging to light all-around, and far and wide, and hides no longer…and in that light, each and all seek nowhere else, but seek and find their own light….

Finding the light within, the truth of self, none seeks anything anymore…and from none…the light of truth full proof!

Understanding and disagreeing, understanding but uncompromising!

Yes...these are just two examples, of the opposites in peaceful coexistence, in the consciousness, and so existing, because of the understanding behind the appearance of opposites, and thus, an understanding of what opposites are for, and thus, why they are....

The reality of relativity, absolute—all being contextual on this plane physical, our actions guided by our thoughts and beliefs, all perception-dependent, each thus unique and hence, different—as is understood, so is and are all. But the primary understanding, essential, is of self, as a unique being—with unique perceptions and ever-evolving—and that accessed, removed is the primer of superficialities...of superiorities and inferiorities, all accepted as “is,” neither bad nor good, right or wrong—but they could be, definitely, resonant or dissonant. All is acknowledged, then, from the perspective beyond the physical, from the realm of energy pure, from which erupts matter, as do we in form....

Thus, relativity, resonating with receptivity, comes to the fore, as that which heads this outpouring....

Understanding and disagreeing comes up, as the first combination, as the two sides of a coin...in love with each other!

It came out as, to begin with: “That, I understand you, doesn’t necessitate that I agree with you. It simply guides to disagree with you, but not disagreeably!”

And then, to the next, highlighting the importance of context: “We live to realize, and then, realize to live. It is all a process of remembrance, a journey from the Origin to the Origin, realizing, Origin is within, and guides to and through this journey, always and all the way, undeterred, understanding, yet uncompromising in Its endeavor.”

On this note, leave you all to draw the conclusions...and the implications, as the conveyed and its reception, all is subject, to the context...as you perceive!

P.S. While the scripting of this post was almost through, the synchronicity—ever on, never through, as it scripts the journey of life—posts yet another message of its...affirming its commitment! The door calls, as the bell rings, and getting up to answer it, I didn’t know the nature of the ringing synchronicity, but did, soon... A gentleman, at the door, was standing to deliver a letter, from a courier service. He handed me the letter, while he held the pages, on one of which the signature was to be put. Waiting for him to hand that specific page, showing me the place for the signature, as he searched those sheaves of papers, I restrained the urge to tell him if he would like to see the letter, for the number specific—that the courier service providers mark each consignment with. But then, he didn’t try my restrain further, asking for the same, and then, relieved, said, number 6 it is, though, his relief was short-lived, as he still couldn’t find the name and thus the place for the signature. This time, seeing his perplexity, as he continually flipped through those same sheets, and having seen the envelope, simply observed, it could be 9, instead. Giving a smile of gratitude and relief, he said, so it would be...and that, he was wrong, and when he finds the name...at number 9—as conveys the same, this time, the smile and relief, persisting—again, graciously and repeatedly states that he was wrong and I was right...and repeatedly he is told, it is not about right or wrong...but about the side from which we were viewing: it differed.... And all the while, and thereafter, too, keeps ringing with clarity the reality and graciousness of life’s ever-constant synchronicity....
