Psychological authority is destructive

Life is complex as long as we have psychological authority (knowledge), this knowledge we gather from books, gurus, religions, ideals, social and economic influences. If my action or behavior is outcome of my setting rules in life, then I will be in perpetual conflict. Trying to be a respectable person in society is a dreadful thing. I feel the reason behind this knowledge that the mind gathers is it want to be secure, so it says keep some knowledge and live in those norms so that no conflict with society. But if you question yourself almost every one of us has this knowledge base, are we happy in life? at the root we are aware that we are not happy and joyful human beings but still we don't take any action to bring that happiness, on the contrary every action that we do is moving us into more confusion and conflict.

Life is simple when we don't have base of psychological knowledge, the mind must be in a state to negate the psychological knowledge however the sacred the society might be telling you. Society believes in something and imposes it on you, but you must have the capacity to question in order to find truth. You see sir in that state of negation you are continuously cleansing your mind. This negation is real revolution and it is not the product of thought and it is not a reaction to outside society, but it is a movement out of intelligence and direct perception. Only through that negation false or non fact will drop effortlessly, and then change comes into being. So it is not good to look for change without seeing the beauty of negation, change without negation creates further confusion and disorder. Time is the enemy for change, so negation must be out of insight which is out of time. Happiness comes out of simplicity in being; to be simple you can not have ideal, role model in your life. Learning from others is a good thing NOT keeping them as ideals and worshipping them or repeating their phrases.

I think in ancient times great saints used this negation to inquire the truth about life, and they discovered that nothing contains everything. Rest of the people just repeated those phrases again and again even though they don't know what it means. Only repetition of a fact make the mind dull, fact has to be discovered and to discover there must be no psychological authority. Obviously repetition without understanding or discovery has become most dangerous thing for humanity. Please be aware of the ugly gurus who are coining money, if not money they want fame, popularity or authority over others, and a person who is looking for authority over others psyche or entertains worshipping is a criminal.

Peace of mind .. nice story

How simple life will be if we let it go when it is necessary, I hope one is not get carried away by the story, but try to have insight.

Once Buddha was walking from one town to another town with a few of his followers. This was in the initial days. While they were traveling, they happened to pass a lake. They stopped there and Buddha told one of his disciples, “I am thirsty. Do get me some water from that lake there.”The disciple walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he noticed that some people were washing clothes in the water and, right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing through the lake. As a result, the water became very muddy, very turbid. The disciple thought, “How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink!” So he came back and told Buddha, “The water in there is very muddy. I don’t think it is fit to drink.”After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. The disciple obediently went back to the lake. This time he found that the lake had absolutely clear water in it. The mud had settled down and the water above it looked fit to be had. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to Buddha.Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the disciple and said, “See what you did to make the water clean. You let it be … and the mud settled down on its own – and you got clear water… Your mind is also like that. When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time. It will settle down on its own. You don’t have to put in any effort to calm it down. It will happen. It is effortless.”

dear friends, once the mind calm down it can see things clearly, out of that seeing action comes out, and there is no place for conflict or pain in that action.

The lawyer inside us

There is a lawyer inside our mind, who always judges and defends what ever we are thinking as truth. This lawyer also puts us in belief that others are wrong and only our understanding is correct. If this lawyer is interested in truth we can create entirely different society, but unfortunately he is not. A mind which is incapable to see difference between illusion and truth can only bring disorder in its action. Illusion is nothing but taking non fact as truth and vice versa. Don't think this lawyer is only destroying society he is destroying our own life also, because the strength and energy that we should get when we perceive truth we are missing. If we can get that unlimited energy our life will be filled with happiness and joy, for which we kept ourselves in an endless race of becoming. Now can you look at the lawyer inside you and have some fun with him, because only when you make friendship with him you can understand him and negate him effortlessly, not when you say I must live without that lawyer. Please remember understanding is the task you are left with, you can't be lazy about this. My dear friends I don't know whether you can see it or not, how beautiful and happy our life will be if we can stand for truth.
In that stand you may lose many things which you hold very dear to yourself, that very losing makes you nothing and nothing contains everything. Is not this lawyer nothing but our own psychological knowledge, knowledge being what our parents told us, the books that we read, different political, religious, social influences on our mind all these forms this lawyer. But the question is how much we purified the content before taking it as granted? What if this lawyer is bundle of knowledge and memories? That’s why it is said with knowledge comes ignorance. We are talking about psychological knowledge not technological knowledge. The ability to look at something with a simple mind is the key to happiness in life, not acquiring money, land, power, position...etc. Please feel free to correct me if my mails are wrong, but please show interest to discuss not to argue or to show what you know already.

Decision or will power will not bring virtue

There are two categories of states in our mind and they are order and disorder. In the category of orderly states comes love, happiness, joy, sharing, compassion, intelligence...etc and in the category of disorder states comes hatred, sorrow, pleasure, self centered, illusions, fear, conflict...etc. If you observe carefully all the religions have taught about orderly states i.e.) love your neighbor, don't hate anyone...etc, not only religions but so many gurus, ideals, ideologies, social organizations and now a days print media or electronic media tried to put human being in orderly state of mind and mostly they failed, which is evident by seeing the present society. Realizing that they all failed and not going into their trap again is one thing and then you and I should find out why they failed.
Now the single point that we left with is we must live with orderly states in our mind, I think the catching point is the decision or will power will not work out in this scenario, what I mean is I can't say to myself that I must be good to others from now onwards and be good to others. Decision of any kind can not bring virtue in human mind, and it seems there is nothing one should do to be virtuous. Understand your disorderly states or simply realize, be aware that the mind is occupied with disorder this simple realization will bring virtue. Don't force yourself for order in life just understand disorder in your life. Only through negation of disorder is there order in life? this negation should be out of learning without any desire for end result.

Order in life..

I think human being has misunderstood the thing called "ORDER", for him order is particular to his life. For a politician safe guarding his power is order and for a scientist discovering about a particular issue is order and for most of us doing a job and taking care of our little family is order. As order is divided between you and me we are ending up with disorder in our lives. But see for nature it's a holistic thing it has to balance each and every particle of it. Taking care about ourselves is really necessary but the care that we take for ourselves can contribute to the whole of humanity. At least can we have a deep understanding that order is a holistic thing not fragmented thing? It seems from that understanding, comes the holistic action which can contribute to the peace in the world. If you understood that "you can not hurt others without hurting yourself" then your action or word will never hurt others, in this way you are contributing to the peace in the world. When you read news paper, watch television or observe in your day to day life try to realize how you and others are trying hard for something and thinking it is the order for all humanity.

Desire to accumulate

Have you ever observed that we live with a desire to accumulate; we want to accumulate money, property, popularity, pleasurable things...etc. Where does this desire come from or why there is this desire in life to accumulate more and more? Is not this desire the root behind all corruption? There is this deep hidden fear in us to be nobody, and this fear is the catalyst behind the process of accumulation. Unfortunately we don't know the utter beauty of being simple and to be anonymous. Please try to observe in you or in the society the consequences for the desire to accumulate, for example how a politician is trying to acquire land, money in corrupted ways. It doesn't mean you should not earn your livelihood or you should not have any property, but without the desire for more. If you observe without the desire for more or the desire for end result in mind, the mind is more energetic and more intelligent. This "more" is in many forms a country, actor, politician, student, employee, social organization trying to be No 1 is the form of more. My question is can't you work most effectively without the desire to be on the top position? And I think surely it is possible when you love what you are doing not when you are in love with only the end result.

Beauty of silence..

It is very interesting to learn about the SELF once you start. With out memory there is no self, there is no me. Self survives in us through conflicting desires, in the form of psychological becoming, or through the feeling of guilt...etc. So self is not something we can deal directly, instead we need to be aware of our desires, fears, anxieties without trying alter them or overcome them. Then this self awareness passively works on the thing called SELF. For this you need a quality in which you will never say that I understood, because your primary interest is in learning or you have seen the utter beauty of learning something with a silent mind, which is good enough to be happy, such a mind doesn't need popularity, and it will never think social reform in terms of massive way. Only such silent mind which is not interested in massive revolution can go to the root of any problem, and can find a permanent solution, without such learning only we can see time binding solutions. This silent learning is not the property of few human beings; it is the gift for all humanity for all humanity. But unfortunately we are unable to see the beauty and strength of this silent mind, which can break through any complex problem, the reason might be we want something to be done very fast, we don't have patience to watch for a second, let your action come from that silent watching and learning.
