Feasibility versus Truth, or Making It Real

[Guest guest]

hi robert.

 

this is a worthy and and important question,

especially for jnanayogins where it's extremely common

to get hypnotically entangled in intellectual

speculation and the typically inevitable ride on the

vast merry-go-round that takes us nowhere.

 

in the final stretch on the path of advaita, its

mission overwhelmingly culminates in checkmating the

intellect. where prior to doing so we're merely in a

quagmire of bewilderment and confusion, infused with

expectations and crossed by doubts...therefore until

the advent of moksha all speculation is not only

meaningless but critically misleading and

counterproductive. there has to come a point when one

recognizes the abject futility of one's dependence on

the intellect and its obsevations. once this point is

reached Self-realization can happen at any moment.

 

we have to bear in mind that the most important

element in any spiritual philosophy is to transcend

the habitual insistence of the judgmental dictates of

the ego-Mind. moksha itself comes down to the very

*ordinary* recognition of the feeling-mood of the

Self, uninterupted by these habitual judgments in the

mind. this is the sahaja sthithi of the atmabhavana

(the natural state of the Self-feeling/being). the

point is that everyone has this incredibly deep and

relatively awesome status of Being *in all its

unimaginable splendour and wonder*, it simply boils

down to one's capacity to defuse the interfering

mechanism of the Mind comandeering our awareness with

relentless [and changing] categorizations of our

manifestion in spacetime. it's interesting however

that our failure to achieve the state of remaining

unscathed by the mind's unrelenting curveballs is only

*apparent*! Self-realization reveals the fact that we

have always been the full thrust of satchidanada

Itself, and that the historic impressions we held

otherwise was the flimsiest and most tentative tricks

every perpetrated on our [truly] inherently stainless

consciousness. consiousness is ever unto itself in

the eternal NOW, with the dance of Relativity that can

dazzle and distort if not simply entertain!
