“NEED FOR APPROVAL, AND THEN SELF-INQUIRY”
Inquiry begins when we question what we believe without any doubt.
At first, you may be an outward search for rightness, but when it turns inward, the inquiry shifts to a journey of spiritual self-inquiry that inquires the inner depths of your self.
Only when that search goes even deeper, transcends the dimensions of dual world, such right and wrong, for the first time then, is one able to observe things from the perspective of Consciousnesses itself.
The things that appear into view in this way transcend the value judgments of mind and simply become what they are.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
Yet, the mind may endlessly need for approval for understanding and acceptance by others.
Don’t resist the mind’s need for such approval, just observe it. Because it is not you, nor it is also something of someone else in front of you. Just comprehend that it is simply an illusion that comes from the ego’s sense of separation and isolation.
And without using the mind (without returning yourself into identification with them again), just gently accept it as it is, as the Consciousness itself, completely separate from them.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
Inquiring this ‘need for approval’ from a different perspective, for instance, in order to understand or accept something, first we must be able to comprehend its value and already have accepted it as it is. Then, how can on earth happen that a being that is with the Consciousness itself not understand it? Can be there anything that it does not want to accept?
It can never happen.
Then what is there to worry about? Is not that anxiety nothing more than an illusion of the mind?
And if those who have not yet left the identification with the mind, ego, or body, for instance, but have a true understanding of it, why would they have that understanding and not accept it? If not accept it, then what is it?
Or conversely, how can those who, still in their identification with mind, ego, or body, believe that reality they see is the only fact, observe things as they really are, and legitimately recognize their value?
Furthermore, if there would be any approval, what meaning or value is there in being understood or accepted by such the minds, egos, or other illusions? What is there to say that it is not an illusion?
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
Sincerely continue to inquiry your self deeply again and again.
In this way, one day you will not be deceived by the mind, and find the truth inside, which is not knowledge nor logic.
Repeating this over and over again in pure self-inquiry will become a natural practice, and it will surely lead to a fundamental change toward stability when you realize that determination is simply all that is needed when the blurring between the Mind and the Consciousness continues. (OM 🙏)
