Wake Up Serbia
The practice is to be.
You think you are coming and going, passing through various states and moods. No. You are actually stationary, those things comes on you. See things as they are, momentary events, presenting themselves in rapid succession, deriving their being from you, yet definitely they are neither you nor yours.
Set your intellect aside. Don't use it in these matters.
Your expectation of something unique and dramatic, of some wonderful explosion, is merely hindering and delaying your self-realization. You are not to expect an explosion, for the explosion has already happened - at the moment when you just briefly suspected that you're not thinking-feeling entity.
There is only one mistake you are making: you take the inner for the outer and the outer for the inner. What is in you, you take to be inside you and what is outside, you take to be outside of you. It's quite opposite. The mind and feelings are actually external, but you take them to be intimate.
You believe the world to be objective, while it is entirely a projection of your psyche. That is the basic confusion and no new explosion will set it right. You have to think yourself out of it. There is no other way.
Watch your thoughts as you watch the street traffic.
People come and go; you register without response. It may not be easy in the beginning, but with some practice you will find that your mind can function on many levels at the same time and you can be aware of them all. It is only when you have a vested interest in any particular level, that your attention gets caught in it and you black out on other levels. Even then the work on the blacked out levels goes on, outside the field of consciousness.
Do not struggle with your memories and thoughts; try only to include in your field of attention the other, more important questions, like 'Who am l?' 'How did I happen to be born?' 'Whence this universe around me?'. 'What is real and what is momentary?' No memory will persist, if you lose interest in it, it is the emotional link that perpetuates the bondage.
Good Morning Sumadijo
You are always seeking pleasure, avoiding pain, always after happiness and peace. Don't you see that it is your very search for happiness that makes you feel miserable? Try the other way: indifferent to pain and pleasure, neither asking, nor refusing, give all your attention to the level on which 'I am' is timelessly present.
Soon you will realize that peace and happiness are in your very nature and it is only seeking them through some particular channels, that disturbs. Avoid the disturbance, that is all. To seek there is no need; you would not seek what you already have.
You yourself are God, the Supreme Reality.
