Don't Know, Don't Care

[Guest guest]

 

"Love itself is the actual form of God."

Sri Ramana

The meditation on "Don't Know, Don't Care" is not right for everyone.

It is a unique type of meditation. It can be approached usually by

people who have loved deeply and have experienced a form of being

relaxed and contented while remaining softly aware. I can give more

details at some point about the method. Sages and scriptures have

hinted at it.

Meditations like these make some people feel uneasy. "Don't Know, Don't

Care" points to a void. It invites one to enter a room that has no

floors. But it is not right for everyone. Some people are not ready for

it. The clinging to notions is too strong. That is OK.

We are in that space already. No floors, no ceilings, no walls. There

are no words and concepts that can ultimately help to maintain

identity.

All questions and answers are simply the desperation of the mind. A

desperate mind is not a bad thing. It is simply struggling to make

sense, to maintain identity.

"Don't Know, Don't Care" approach to meditation can

be scary. Some religious people are not comfortable with it. However,

if God or the Universe is ensuring that everything is the way it should

be, then we can relax a little. Knowing that nothing is our personal

burden one tastes the essence of

love. This is the same as "Not my will Lord but Thine".

In the state of "not knowing and not caring" one spontaneously

embraces the

whole universe and holds all sentient being in the Heart.

My article "Ordinary Mind is the Buddha Mind" together with "You Take

My Breath Away" in the last volume of magazine may shed

some light on this.
