Possibilities

[Guest guest]

Since we consider many possibilities, we can consider

the possibility, that thoughts and imagination can

come to a halt in love, and thus the notion of any and

all possibilities can be undermined.

 

Advaita is really about the end of all possibilities

and being prior to all possibilities. When an Advaita

sage says, Nothing ever happened ....this is what is

meant... at least this is as far as words can go. It

cannot be fully grasped by the mind because the mind

is all about possibilities. So that is the paradox --

to see that possibilities may have an end and see it

within the context of possibilities, as a possibility.

 

We are not separate from whatever possibilities exist

in our imagination. If the construct of "I" is

investigated carefully in silence, self-awareness, and

self-observation, all possibilities may still be

possible, and yet can have nothing to hold on to. Just

like a magnet that loses its charge no longer attracts

iron specks, The "I" that merges in the Heart does not

attract possibilities and whether anything is still

possible becomes a moot point.

 

When breathing in and breathing out are the same, and

when becoming and being are one, that is the known as

the joining of Shiva and Shakti. That is the

consummation of love.

 

The amazing thing is that the Lord of the Heart, The

Heart of the Universe, reveals It Self as One's Own

Being, The True Beloved.

 

Love to all,

Harsha

Wonderful. Harshaji. Your above passage reminds me of the

following passage in Maitrayani Upanishad:

 

tAvad-eva niroddhavyaM hR^idi yAvat kShayaM gataM /

etad-jnAnaM ca mokShaM ca sheShAstu grantha-vistaraH //

 

meaning, (The mind) has to be stilled until it merges in the

heart and deisappears. That is Enlightenment. That is mokSha.

Everything else is just an elaboration.
