All your problems are in the mind. What happens if you experiment and start watching your mind? This is how you create a gap between the watcher, you and the ongoing thoughts.
The problems are in the form of thoughts. Everything in the world, even your personal limited existence is a thought.
Be still and know yourself.
Mindfulness is taking note of every movement of the body.
To consciously look, to consciously read and do every action with awareness is being awake to reality.
Be awake to what you are looking at right now.
'Attention on attention' is the way to healing and happiness.
You can work and still be happy.
People usually believe just because they had no work in their childhood, they were happy.
I think that's not the real reason.
Children have no influence of language. That's why they can remain in the present moment.
Think about this - if you had no words describing the past events, there will be no past for you.
Talk to a 5 year old, she doesn't really grasp what's the meaning of the word "gave."
She understands what's "give" as in I give her 5 chocolates, but she won't easily get the meaning of "gave," the past form of give.
The observation here is - she is not really in time. She doesn't understand the concept of time at that age.
Point being, we all have a choice to use past. Whether to think about the past or not. That's an empowering choice.
If we know we have this choice which is to not think about the past, it cannot be a burden this way.
The more you remember the past unconsciously, the more the mind suffers.
Present is always the case. Only our attention is taken up by words which represent the past and it makes the concept of time true for us.
So the cause of suffering is dwelling in past memories while you live life in the present moment.
The problem is not that we have work in our lives, the real issue is we are not present while working, while living.
Our mind is somewhere else, lost in thoughts about past and future.
So do one thing at a time, focus on what's here. Your work. Your rest. Soon, being attentive to the now will become your second nature.
With education, people have an imaginary idea that they know what's going on beyond the walls of the room they are sitting in.
They assume they know what's happening in the world.
What's true is that - they are hearing a version of reality through social media, and they create an image of the world in their minds believing that.
What's reality for them is just this room they are in.
However in their mind they are imagining what's happening in other parts of the world.
They are lost in their Imagination.
That's how they are totally cut off from reality, this room, which is their actual physical surrounding.
They are lost in a dream of a world where there is a war and suffering. They are sold on a fearful narrative spread by the news and social media.
Hence the suffering. Only your imagination can cause that.
The news is spread as awareness and knowledge. In reality, it gives you an illusion that you know and thus are superior to others.
What's real is that you are just sitting in your room and maybe relaxing!
They say get more money, get more knowledge, assets.
A Buddha knows how to ignore.
Their desires make them trapped in an imagined future.
While the present is full of beauty and God's abundance.
There's no such thing as 'want' in reality.
A tree doesn't know that, a newborn doesn't understand this word.
The idea of 'want' is here within you because of language.
Remove the human language from the mind, it will not be here.
If you see the idea of 'want' is empty, it means nothing in actuality.
Aren't you free already?
You can't want anything if there's no such word in your dictionary.
Learnt language is directing your life and you wonder why you suffer.
All suffering is because of social influence.
That's why Buddha said 'believe nothing.' No one in society knows what they are doing.
Follow society, people and you only get ignorance and misery.
Know yourself.
As soon as you name anything, it becomes a concept in your mind.
Now you assume you know that thing. Because you have a name for that.
--
In reality, that thing you are naming doesn't even exist.
It only exists in your language, in your imagination.
It becomes your experience because you named it first.
--
That thing you are naming doesn't exist.
Because the names are imaginary. And you are believing in names.
Without the name, can that thing exist for you?
--
Naming makes things different from you.
While reality is just you.
--
You can't experience anything different from you.
But when you name them, you have a feeling that they are separate.
What if you forget every name, you still exist.
That's the realisation of reality.
I receive repeated requests for creating a like-minded (conscious/spiritually aware) relationship community where you can find potential life partners.
I'm thinking of making one. Let me know if you are interested.
71%Yes, I'm interested.
29%No.
7 votes • 10 hoursYou can still exist without having an idea about yourself.
Without calling yourself anything.
Entertain no words inside.
Anyway they are all meaningless.
The whole creation is bursting with ecstasy but humans are can't see it because they think words are everything.
You don't need words to exist.
It's only language that gives your experience a meaning.
Can you drop the story - that you are deriving from language?
All words are meaningless, without exception. Including this.
Words are true only in context of human communication. They are not true in reality.
A new born is empty of all words. A tree doesn't understand the words. A rock doesn't know. Only adult humans can know.
This is not a superior ability, it's just how we are made by nature. Language is a product of society.
If you want to come to terms to reality, don't bother about language and communication.
Because it's just limited to humans. Reality is far, far vaster than the human understanding. It's infinite.
So don't try to see everything through language and words.
Within you, when you are not communicating be silent.
See everything in silence, that makes you realise they are one with you. There are no divisions.
This is the knowing of reality. Stillness is how you know reality is one with you.
No thoughts, no problem.
