Unfortunately, Nobody Understands This
I love my wife, my daughter, father, niece and relatives, some friends and I'm
concerned about them. I care about their well being and I am sad seeing their
suffering. But so often I am amazed wondering how deep their ignorance
regarding spiritual matters really is.
Unfortunately, I cannot let them understand what I know about life. I tried. I spoke with my mother a lot about enlightenment and she looked at me like I'm a weirdo. She asked me am I part of some sect.
I remember one particular conversation couple months before she died.
She was complaining that life is hard. Just as all people I know, she
blamed life for her sickness. She was a math teacher and I asked her one
afternoon - Mom, when you give a math test who of students say it was hard
test?
She answered - those who did not prepare for the test so they don't know the
subject.
I told her, it is the same thing, you said life is hard, it is not, you just
did not prepare yourself for it, you don't know the subject.
I'm not sure she understood what I wanted to tell her, I'm not sure any of my loved ones know exactly what I'm writing here. I'm so sad about it. This is the only important subject in life.
The empty words referring to the same thing. I'm afraid my wife and my
daughter will never understand what these words points to. What can I do, I
point finger to the moon and I say - look, the moon, and they look at my
finger never turning the head towards the moon.
I have concluded that everybody has their own time. It is impossible to
teach someone about spiritual awakening. You have to be deeply interested in
the subject, have a definite urge to discover
Who You Are?, above all your search for happiness.
I wish everyone to be happy, knowing that the happiness is their very nature
and not a state between two sorrows.
The lasting happiness is YOU, your-SELF. On YOU came Existence which is
Love, Consciousness and Bliss with its first thought - "I AM" thought.
"I AM" thought can actually be heard. If you quiet your mind and make it
without thoughts, "I AM" thought transforms itself to a sense, it can be
described as a sense of presence.
It is heard as a small, quiet, tiny, buzzing sound. The real question is
Who does hear this sound? It is your real Self, YOU.
After the first thought comes, "I AM" sense solidifies itself by constant
stream of other thoughts. That stream is called personality - all your
beliefs and attitudes. It is something that we refer as a person. It is
based on "I AM" illusion so itself it is completely illusory, it has no
existence, it is just an imagination.
When we say somebody died, what does it mean?
The "I AM" sense, the very first thought faded away, so no more stream of
thoughts circulating brain and spine, no more personality, the person is
dead but YOU, you are not touched.
Do you see now why it important to know your Self while you're having this
"I AM " sense, while you are alive as a person?
If you know your SELF while you are alive you will never forget it.
You will be Self-realized, enlighten person or awoke one. No more stress
of any kind can come close to you. There will be thoughts in your head but
they will be irrelevant.
No more pain and suffering, just pure love and happiness. There can be
problems in life but your attitude will be changed, you will not give a
damn to anything.
If you know your SELF while you are alive there will be no death for you.
And, you will understand the saying -
the unreal never lived, the real never dies.
