Moving Universe…

Moving Universe…

The whole universe is in flux, constantly moving.

From the physical world to your body, and even your mind, moves.

Thoughts move.

Even your beliefs, concepts, and convictions may take some time, but they also
move.

Emotions come and go.

We may take 80, 90, 100 years to crumble, and mountains may take 100 million years to crumble, but crumble they do.

So, fighting thoughts do not work because they have inner energy (urja) built into them; they will move, with or without your help.

They arise from interactions within the lives of forms. They are not yours.

Just don’t call them “mine”, let them keep moving.

Laughing happens spontaneously, and so does crying.

But, once they happen, then we say “ I laughed “, “ I cried “.

This addictive behavior of ours has created “I”, and it keeps fostering it.

“I” is slowing you down in this moving universe.

With practice, one becomes capable of realizing that thoughts are coming and going, but there is some entity within that KNOWS this, and it’s not “I”.
It’s the formless consciousness.

It knows that crying happened, laughing happened, but, by itself, stays unaffected, unaltered – sthitpragnya, and that’s your true self, which never moves.

Thoughts make you live others’ lives, without thoughts you will live your own life.
