We forgot how full of life
and joy we were,as children,just happy to be.
For many of us,our waking
state dreams turned into tragic and absurd nightmares.
We discovered suffering,and
we learned suffering.
We were conditioned to assume
that it is appropriate to be stuck in the “sadness mode”.
To remain happy and at
peace,seemed somehow... not decent.
We became too good at
suffering,we became professional sufferers.
We imagined that we will be
happy,sometime in the future, but only after our problems will be solved.
Who is the one that suffers?
Is it truly me?
Who am I?
I have been playing many
roles in my life and I fully identified with them, and all those roles had their
share of suffering.
They should have teached us,from an early,age that we are not what we appear to
be.
We should have been told not to identify with body,mind,emotions,feelings,past experiences,social roles,personality.
We should have been told not to identify with body,mind,emotions,feelings,past experiences,social roles,personality.
We should have been made
aware that we are the eternal,infinite Consciousness that temporarily took all
these forms.
We limited ourselves,we
identified with the form,with the person.
And the one who suffers is
the person.
“We are not really experiencing
suffering,but rather we are suffering our experience.” Mooji
We suffer as persons, from
the limited perspective of our life roles.
By understanding this,we can
detach ourselves from our individuality and from our suffering.
It is a necessary first step,but
running away from suffering is not enough.
We have to unveil our true
happiness from under the superimposed person.
Pure Consciousness is the
infinite,eternal substratum of all reality.
It is our substratum too,and we
couldn’t be without it.
The Pure Consciousness is
formless , it is not a thing, this is why it is described as “No-thing”.
It is not affected by
anything,so we are free and happy too, not affected by anything.
To
be truly happy, you must recognize who you are with nothing." Gangaji
Now and then, we seem to be
happy for some reason.That “happiness” passes away.
Happiness is our true eternal
nature,it should not pass away.
If we stop identifying with
something,if we can accept the idea that we are “No-thing”,we are on the right
path.
Our words and our minds can’t
go further than this.
The infinite,eternal,pure Consciousness,our own true Self will guide
us to itself,to happiness.
Until then, in times of despair,treachery,disaster,loss,war,injustice,hate,sickness,death,separation or other adversities, remember to stay
as your true Self, remember to stay happy!
Stay Happy!
