Guest guest Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Dear all, The mind has a tendency to move,it is in continuous movement,so there is momentum.Suddenly mind has impulse to do something and in " who am i " Self-Enquiry, the movement of impulse is stopped suddenly due to awareness and now a gap come into existence between the centre of awareness and the body-mind complex and you feel your body-mind complex as something distant,you become separate from it.Whenever you are in activity,you are deeply absorbed in it.Sudden stoppage of mental activity in " who am i " enquiry throws you out of mental activity. This being thrown leads us to the awareness of our being.Ordinarily we move from one activity to another continuously without gap in between. This habit is broken in " who am i " enquiry and a gap come into existence. When there is a feeling an impulse to do something,stop without the thought coming into picture.Miracles happen because in activity when you stop,a gap happens.You will be totally taken away from the body-mind and realm of activity.Energy is always in a movement,either going out or coming in.Energy can never be static.Impulse of thought means energy is moving out.All activities are movements towards that which is without,from that which is within i.e movements from within to without.That movement happens according to the direction given by the innate tendencies.When the movement is stopped suddenly in " who am i " Self-Enquiry,the energy cannot do anything other than moving inward.Even though thought stops, the mechanism which can lead you towards the centre of awareness is there. You are converting your energy and changing it's dimension every moment in " who am i " Self-Enquiry in which the energy of awareness falls back into awareness again. If one is angry or violent,energy has been aroused and it has come to a point where it wants to be expressed and that energy needs movement.If at that time,you start loving somebody,the same energy will move into love.So the energy of love and hate are one,the energy of passion and compassion are one.The energy of anger,violence,peace are one and the same.Only with real impulse does energy move.Anger is pure energy.It can become bad if it goes out and destroy something or it may become bliss if it moves within and throws you to the centre of awareness of your being.It is like atomic energy in the atom,pure,innocent,neutral. It can be used for destructive purposes like throwing bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki killing millions of innocent people or it can used to produce enormous electric power.It all depends on us.If one feels that anger is bad,so i should stop,the energy moves into that mental consideration, in which case also the energy moves from the inner to the outer. So mental suppression does not change the dimension of energy. If you start thinking about the centre of awareness,then also the energy will move from the inner into thinking which is outer to the Self. You can waste this inner energy very simply.Just a thought will be enough to give it a direction thus limiting it.If thought process really stops during Self-Enquiry,the centre of awareness of being explodes which is called implosion.Mystics always live in that uninterrupted implosive state of being.
