“THERE IS NO ONE ELSE.”
By being completely alone, everyone encounters God, oneself in stillness.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
Let go of everything.
Let go of that way of being, that way of perceiving things, and everything you think you already know.
Throw away everything you think is real.
And above all, completely surrender the mind (ego) that creates these illusions to the unknown.
Then, through your innermost stillness, the Divinity, the only and certain Guru who is always with you, far beyond the mind (ego), will guide your awareness to the heights, to the Divine, to the true you.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
We will all unknowingly keep to be trapped in our mind’s (ego’s) interpretation, projection, body, etc., until we totally become fed up with the way we are and the reality for each of us (that is, until we reach a dead end where we clearly realize that there is nothing more that the mind, ego, can do), and continuously swallowed up by the illusions we create.
In the process, the mind is forever regarding, “If I do this, I will be someone like that,” “If I follow that guru, I am sure of it,” “That guru and this guru are saying the same thing, which means you are wrong,” and so on, whispering mere ideas that promote ‘personal I’ as if they were true, and it makes us remain caught up in merely the superficial aspects of the words of the guru or the scripture.
We will keep looking around for something to add or trying to correct anything we think wrong, until we clearly become aware of the facts by ourselves (i.e., our own current state, ‘where do that words and actions come from?,’ or the way of thinking, and so on).
We will remain like, for instance, as soon as the mind’s (ego’s) expectations are disappointed or it finds something that does not meet its conditions, the guru it had been worshipping will instantly become a personal being to be despised for us, and conversely, as long as it meets its expectations or conditions, we will keep to blindly believing that guru as a personal being as well.
And so we may keep to pretend not to see the reality as it is, which nothing has changed.
Until we realize that such doingness is truly unnecessary, we will keep to repeat the same thing over and over.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
No matter where we were born, how we were raised, or what our situation is right now, we all have everything we need for the path to God, spiritual awakening (the ultimate purpose of life).
And we will take all kinds of experiences only for finally realizing it.
So, if that experience is truly necessary for it, no matter what the situation is right now (e.g., financial hardship), we will always be led to that place, those people, and that experience.
On the other hand, if it is not something we need, then no matter what we do and even no matter how hard we want it, we will never get to that place, or we will never be able to meet that person.
At the most profound level of spiritual awakening, it means that we are always, without fail, in the places each is meant to be, and meeting the people each is meant to meet.
Thus, when we realize that it is ourselves, who is creating that reality, then and only then does it become unnecessary for us, and no one else can stay that same place (not just in the physical sense), no matter what we do or don’t do.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
Everything is within a grand scale that is far beyond the world of what the mind (ego) knows or can imagine, and the universe is in which chaos and cosmos seem to function in one perfect system as two different aspects, and yet actually only one.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
So, if you think, “Even so, I really want to get that thing,” then, never try to change who you are because “that guru told me to stop,” etc., but do everything you need to do to get it.
Because then you will eventually realize at the deepest level that you don’t need it, one day.
Or, if you are sure that the voice at that time is unmistakably that of the mind (ego), and you have come to truly believe that you no longer want to be a part of that drama (i.e., you have become sufficiently detached from the mind), then you will be able to let that voice just appear and disappear through various forms of ‘prayer.’
Or, there will be times when you may go back and forth between these two states.
Thus, to not do even what the mind (ego) wants to do or want, to try to change it through control, or to postpone, turn a blind eye to, or neglect an important decision for yourself, is blasphemy to God (your-true-self), so to speak.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
For instance, no matter how meticulous we are about not hurting others, those who need to experience hurt will draw and receive hurtful experiences for themselves, no matter what it takes.
Conversely, no matter how much we rant and rave about hurting others according to our mind’s (ego’s) desires, we cannot have any small impact on those who already do not need such experiences.
Therefore, leave it completely up to each of the people to decide what impact they will receive from your actions.
It’s just outside the jurisdiction of the mind (ego).
Instead, totally trust that every experience, every single one of them, is for your best, for your spiritual awakening.
And rather than making judgments that you regret or even punish yourself for saying or doing, continue to observe at the innermost stillness only the facts that are there.
In this way, learn to love yourself.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
The more we are able to genuinely trust our Higher Self, who is indeed guiding ourselves, but not the Mind (ego), the more we will be able to trust that any person is guided by the Higher Self as well, thereby the more it will allow us to have faith and fully surrender to the Unknown.
And it will also make us even not self-centeredly try to remove the necessary suffering and sadness from someone else’s experience by the mind (ego), because of selflessness.
It means let people alone with a total faith in Higher Self.
There will remain only the calm, pure joy of being. (OM 🙏)
