Stay alone or in company

Left to our own devices, we would probably self destruct. The decisions that we make or refuse to make often leads to expansion of sorrow and then self hatred, and so on to a reinforcing negative loop.

Okay, lets get personal. I got an invitation from a friend to meet up and I didn't respond, since I wanted to be left alone. The next day I started feeling bad about it and regretting the decision. So, I wonder if it is really better to be left alone vs having some company.

There is no one to tell us what is right or wrong. Only the mind judging a particular decision as good or bad. So, what then is to be done?

The call of God

The call of God cannot be resisted. The voice of the Spirit cannot be ignored. When its time to go, no power in the universe can stop.

You are afraid that you will remain stuck to this world. Fear not. Nothing can stop you when the spirit calls. 

Keep in touch

There is a part of you untouched by the world. A part deeply private. Unexpressed. Untouched. Forever apart from the world. To lose touch with this part of you is to get totally dependent on the world. Dependence on the world results in misery and humiliation.

Keep in touch.

Forever alone

The eternal meditator lies alone. Forever unaware.

Way out of suffering

To realize truth is the only way out of suffering. It is a mathematical precise equation.
End of suffering = Realize truth = See through the false.

The trap of life

Life is nothing but an all pervasive cheat show. It keeps enchanting us with visions and promises of something wonderful. Yet, it never lives up to its promises. Attaining or pursuing the enchantments invariably brings nothing as promised. Nothing in life, no attainment, no relationship is ever satisfying, as we thought it would be. Nothing satisfies as it was shown to bring.

Then why do we keep running after things, knowing this? Probably we try to escape the fundamental void. The emptiness of life is all there is. Any attempt to fill up this emptiness will only end in failure and despair. The beauty or cunningness of life is that it somehow offers us visions that promise fulfillment. But the emptiness cannot be filled. Because there is nothing there to fill it. All the visions and promises that you are shown are nothing but the same emptiness that you are trying to escape from. To fully accept this is horrifying.

To not seek fulfillment is liberation. To seek fulfillment is to get caught in the trap of life.

Silence

There is really nothing left to say. To be at total ease in silence is the final frontier. Beyond this, there is nothing more. And this silence never leaves. Silence is the final teaching. The final truth is the silence.
