Jealousy

Jealousy is a complex emotion that arises from a variety of sources, including fear, insecurity, possessiveness, and the desire for control.

At its core, jealousy is a feeling of intense discomfort or pain that arises when we perceive a threat to our sense of self or our relationship with someone else. This can manifest in many different ways, from feelings of suspicion or mistrust to anger, resentment, and even violence. Jealousy is a fundamentally destructive emotion that arises from a lack of self-awareness and an inability to see the world clearly. Jealousy can only be overcome through a process of self-inquiry and deep introspection, which involves examining our own beliefs, fears, and desires.

By recognizing that our jealousy is rooted in our own insecurities, we can begin to let go of the need for control and possessiveness, and instead focus on building a healthy and trusting relationship with our loved ones.

Jealousy arising from a comparison mindset, where we are constantly measuring ourselves against others and seeking external validation or recognition. We feel threatened by the success of others, and we react with jealousy as a way of trying to protect our own ego and sense of identity. However, this response only reinforces our own feelings of inadequacy and prevents us from fully embracing our own unique talents and abilities. To overcome this type of jealousy, we focus on our own inner growth and development, rather than constantly comparing ourselves to others. By recognizing that our worth and value come from within, rather than from external factors like fame or recognition, we can begin to let go of the need for validation and competition, and instead focus on creating that truly speaks to our own unique vision and perspective.

Ultimately, the goal is to cultivate a deeper sense of inner peace and contentment, free from the destructive and disruptive effects of jealousy. By focusing on our own growth and development, and letting go of the need for control and validation, we can learn to live more fully and authentically, in harmony with ourselves and those around us.

Dealing with negativity

Many people struggle with negative emotions such as anger and pessimism. When negative emotions take over, it can be challenging to continue with any routine. These emotions can make a person feel overwhelmed and helpless, as if they’re failing in whatever they are doing. However, these feelings are not uncommon and can be addressed through mindfulness and self-awareness.

The first step is to recognize when these emotions arise and what triggers them. For example, if anger takes over, it’s important to acknowledge that it’s just an emotion that’s passing through and not to identify with it. When we identify with anger, it can lead to negative thoughts such as “Actions are useless” or “there’s something wrong with me.” These thoughts are just an extension of the anger, and it’s essential to recognize that they’re not true.The second step is to become more self-aware and to recognize these patterns. When anger or pessimism arise, take a step back and observe them without judgment. This mindfulness technique will help you develop the ability to observe your thoughts and emotions without becoming attached to them. This shift from being the anger or pessimism to having it as part of your energy field and observing it is crucial. Once you recognize that these emotions are separate from your true self, you can start to let them go.

It’s essential to remember that we are not our emotions; they are just temporary visitors passing through. It’s essential to let these emotions pass without resisting or clinging to them. Mindfulness and meditation can help you develop this awareness and observe your emotions without getting caught up in them. When we observe our emotions, we can start to recognize patterns and triggers and develop strategies to manage them.

When we encounter negative emotions or setbacks, it’s an opportunity to learn and grow. It’s essential to be patient with ourselves and trust the process. Dealing with anger and pessimism while maintaining a spiritual practice at times can be challenging, but it’s possible with mindfulness and self-awareness. Recognize when these emotions arise, observe them without judgment, and trust the process. With time and practice, you can develop the ability to let go of negative emotions and continue on your spiritual journey.

Thoughts around Meditation

Meditation is a practice that has been around for thousands of years, and there are many different techniques and methods that people use to achieve a meditative state. But is it possible to meditate without any technique at all?

The short answer is yes, it is possible to meditate without any technique. Meditation is fundamentally a state of being, a state of alertness and awareness. It is not something that can be achieved through a particular set of steps or instructions.

However, while meditation itself needs no techniques, there are many obstacles that can prevent us from achieving this state. Over time, humans have accumulated a great many mental, emotional, and physical barriers that can make it difficult to quiet the mind and achieve a state of stillness.

To remove these obstacles, certain techniques are often employed. These techniques are not meditation themselves, but are rather tools that can help prepare the mind and create a space for meditation to occur.

For example, many people find that focusing on the breath or a particular object can help quiet the mind and bring them into a meditative state. Others use guided meditations or mantras to help them achieve this state of awareness.

While these techniques can be useful in removing obstacles and preparing the mind for meditation, they are not necessary for the practice of meditation itself. In fact, many experienced meditators will tell you that the best way to achieve a meditative state is simply to let go of all techniques and allow yourself to be present in the moment.

That being said, it is important to remember that meditation is a personal journey, and what works for one person may not work for another. Some people may find that certain techniques or methods are helpful for them, while others may prefer to simply sit in stillness and allow the mind to quiet on its own.

Ultimately, the most important thing is to approach meditation with an open mind and a willingness to explore different methods and techniques. Whether you choose to use techniques or not, the goal of meditation is always the same: to become more aware, more present, and more connected to the world around you.

Undoing oneself..

In our modern world, we are bombarded with information, opinions, and beliefs that shape our thinking and behavior. We are hypnotized by societal norms, religious dogmas, political ideologies, and cultural traditions, without even realizing it. We accept them as truths and unquestionably follow them, without examining their validity or relevance to our lives. We become conditioned and programmed by our environment, and we lose touch with our true self and our innate wisdom.

Let’s understand the process of undoing oneself. It is a process of unlearning, deconditioning, and freeing oneself from the mental and emotional chains that limit our consciousness and potential. It is a way to break free from the trance-like state that we have been put into and awaken to our full awareness and creativity. It is a way to reach the subconsciousness that lies beyond our conditioned mind and access the infinite intelligence and wisdom of the universe. It is not about replacing one set of beliefs with another, but about transcending all beliefs and accessing a state of pure awareness. It is not about becoming passive or submissive, but about becoming empowered and liberated from the limitations of our past conditioning. It is not about denying or rejecting our past, but about integrating it and transforming it into a new reality.

It can be done in various ways such as meditation, mindfulness, self-inquiry, therapy, or spiritual practices. However, one of the most effective ways to undo oneself is through listening to a master or a teacher who speaks from a state of superconsciousness. Such a teacher does not have a doctrine or a set of beliefs to indoctrinate, but uses words as a means to awaken the listener to their own truth.

The beauty of undoing oneself is that it does not require any special skills or techniques, but only a willingness to let go of one’s past conditioning and embrace the unknown. It does not involve any force or effort, but only a relaxed and receptive state of mind. It does not require any external authority or validation, but only a trust in one’s own inner wisdom and guidance.

Undoing oneself is not a one-time event, but a continuous process of self-discovery and self-transformation. It requires a commitment to truth and a willingness to face one’s fears, doubts, and illusions. It requires a readiness to let go of one’s ego and surrender to the higher consciousness. It requires a courage to be oneself and express one’s unique creativity and authenticity. Undoing oneself is a way to superconsciousness, a way to transcend the limitations of our conditioned mind and access the infinite potential of our being. It is a way to live life fully and joyfully, without any fear or guilt. It is a way to connect…

Death and Freedom!

Death is the ultimate reality that every human being has to face. It is a universal experience that unites people from all walks of life. However, the way we perceive and approach death varies from one individual to another. Some of us fear it, while others see it as a natural part of life. Fear of death is deeply ingrained in the human psyche. This is not just limited to the fear of physical death but extended to the fear of losing everything we hold dear, such as our relationships, possessions, and beliefs. This fear is rooted in our attachment to the self, which creates a sense of separation from everything else in the world.

The fear of death is a symptom of a deeper psychological issue, which is “Fear of the Unknown”. The fear of the unknown arises when we cling to our beliefs and ideas and are afraid to question them. The fear of the unknown is the root cause of all fear, including the fear of death.

It is possible to overcome the fear of death by understanding the nature of fear itself. Fear is not an object that we could confront or overcome but a process that we need to observe and understand. The key to overcoming this fear is to be aware of it without trying to escape it or suppress it. we could overcome the fear of death by questioning our beliefs and ideas about death. Most of us have inherited beliefs about death from our culture, religion, and society, and these beliefs often created a sense of fear and anxiety. It is essential to question these beliefs and to examine the nature of death for ourselves. It is important to live fully in the present moment to overcome the fear of death.

The fear of death is often the result of our attachment to the past and the future. We are afraid of losing what we have in the present, and we are also afraid of what the future holds. We can live fully in the present moment by letting go of our attachments to past and the future. If we end our attachments, we create space for something new to emerge. The ending is the past, and when we end the past, we gain a sense of freedom and movement that is not born of the past. We can experience a new beginning, a fresh start that is not constrained by our past attachments.

Desire and and its role in our lives

Desire is an integral part of human experience, and cannot simply be suppressed or transcended. Instead, we must understand desire at a deeper level, and learn how to relate to it in a more conscious and healthy way.

Desire is not simply a matter of wanting or craving something external, but is rooted in our fundamental sense of self and identity. We desire things that we believe will give us a sense of security, comfort, pleasure, or meaning. However, these desires are often based on illusion and conditioning, and can lead to suffering and conflict in our lives.

One of the key challenges we face is learning how to distinguish between genuine needs and desires, and those that are driven by fear, ego, or social conditioning. This requires a deep level of self-awareness and inquiry, as well as the courage to question our assumptions and beliefs.

It is important to live in present moment rather than being driven by past memories or future hopes. When we are fully present to our experience, we are able to see the truth of things as they are, rather than through the filter of our desires and fears.

Desire is not simply an individual issue, but is intimately connected to the larger social and cultural context in which we live. The values, beliefs, and norms of our society often shape our desires and expectations, and can limit our ability to live fully and authentically.

Ultimately, the key to understanding and transcending desire is to cultivate a state of awareness and attention that is free from the limitations of the self. When we are able to see ourselves and the world around us with clarity and detachment, we are able to live in a more meaningful and fulfilling way, and to contribute to the well-being of others. By learning how to relate to our desires in a more conscious and healthy way, we can cultivate greater self-awareness, freedom, and compassion, and live in a more fulfilling and meaningful way.

Fear!

Emotions are complex and can be difficult to understand and deal with, especially when they are deep-rooted and unconscious. Fear is one such emotion that can have a profound impact on our lives. It is essential to reach and deal with this deep-seated but unconscious emotion if we want to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. But how do we do it?

One of the first steps in dealing with fear is to understand its root cause. Fear has existed with humans for centuries, and it has both conscious and unconscious roots that run deep. We often suppress or neglect our fear, but this can lead to physical shrinkage, resistance, and avoidance of reality. Therefore, we must be willing to go to the very root of our fear to be free from it.

There are various forms of fear, such as fear of death, old age, uncertainty, insecurity, loneliness, loss, and not being loved. We can deal with the outward forms of fear superficially, or we can go into it very deeply by observing its nature and structure and how it comes into being.

To deal with fear deeply, we must understand its root cause. Time and thought are the major factors of fear. The past, present, and future are all forms of time that can cause fear. Thinking about the past incidents, accidents, or psychological events that have caused fear can lead to fear of the future. The future is also a source of fear since it is uncertain and unknown.

Thought also breeds fear. Thinking about what might happen in the future or dwelling on the past can cause fear. Therefore, to deal with deep-rooted fear, we must understand the role of time and thought in creating it. Once we understand the root cause, we can take steps to overcome it.

One way to overcome fear is to observe it without judgment or reaction. We can observe how fear arises, how it affects us physically and mentally, and how it dissipates. We can also challenge our thoughts and beliefs that are causing fear and replace them with more positive and empowering ones.

In conclusion, fear is a complex emotion that can have a profound impact on our lives. To deal with deep-rooted fear, we must understand its root cause, which is often time and thought. By observing fear without judgment and challenging our thoughts and beliefs, we can overcome it and live a more fulfilling life.

Time ?

When we are born, people starts taking a note of time. Starting from hospital doctor, nurse and family members. They take a note of time and date. we live in a fragmentary world. And those fragments of life are defined by time. In each fragment of life there are multiple sub-fragments which are again defined by time limit.

Time defines the limitations. It indicates the starting point and ending point of something. Starting point might be ending point for someone and ending point may be the starting point for someone else. Hence Time can’t be owned by anybody or anything.

Is Time real? Time is not real but it is relative. We always have a point or object of comparison when we refer time. Patterns of a day is repetitive. We wake up with the Sun and we relax during dusk. This cycle is repetitive for most of the people across the geographies. Hence we live in a cyclical pattern and to track of each passing cycle or phase or activity we perform or any action, we need a reference point against which we can refer to across cycles. These cycles are defined and limited by time.

Is time the truth? Truth is not relative but time is. Truth is absolute. Across Time points across cycles, it remains the same. It does not change. Time is changing. It always changes and point of reference for everybody is different. It defines the change. Time defines constraints or limited quality of any living or non-living things.

Time is the source of all the conflicts created in our lives. Time is involved in each process of life and yet there’s no yesterday or no tomorrow known to the human mind but the present moment in which there’s no time concept. If we enquire if time is real or created by time psychologically to fulfil our desires? All the conditioning, information beliefs we’ve gathered over a period is relating to time. Does it have any relevance to the present moment? All the limited things which are known to human mind is time. All the known exists in time and unknowns in timelessness.

All the fears are because of the time which we don’t want to lose which is known to us and we fear the unknown which stops the continuity of known. Things which are physical in nature will once cease to exist. Timelessness is born once the know ceases to exist. It is born once everything that is known to mind dies with mind. Timelessness is born only in the present moment. You can’t be living or dying yesterday or tomorrow but in the present moment which is not defined by time. Present moment does not have a mechanical starting or ending and is realised later. Time is not truth but Truth is timeless.

Truth does not require continuity. Continuity of memory or information or knowledge that we’ve acquired in past or can be found in future. Most of the times, we seek comfort or satisfaction of our ego. We want to seek fruits and desires by moving from known to known which always was, is and will be limited as defined by time. Fruits, desires actually is in moving from unknown to unknown where your relevance to those fruits and desires rests.

Time is reason for all our hopes and desires which are born from the time to time out of past or from the time we are waiting for.

Timelessness is possible only when we die to the known!!

Path Alone !

The path usually i walk through is lonely and far,
Away from the baseless concepts, the path goes to the destination of truth,
where no sorrows and no happiness exist,

I have seen a shadow of GOD guiding my road ahead,
with no fear and closed eyes started paving my path alone,
slowing down my mind, coming out of troubles and monitory bubbles,

I need to build the bridge of success with your bless,
to cover the entire eternal journey of my life,
i need your presence to make me stroll.
