Divine is Here and Now.

Divine is Here and Now.

Every moment is an entryway into the divine, so long as our mind stays out.

Mind means past.

Even the future, mind runs after, is based on its past experiences.

You run toward what you like and away from what you dislike.

Mind knows only what has already happened.

All our thoughts are about other objects, people, and situations with which we have already interacted.

You can’t think about my grandchild if you have never known him.

This is the nature of the mind; it lives on the dull past and has no freshness of the present.

Mind ruminates, like a cow.

A cow eats, swallows, and then regurgitates the food back into the mouth, and keeps chewing on it.

This is rumination.

The whole framework of the mind is built up on rumination only, nothing more.

Mind is only a repeater.

In daily life, we first take a quick snap of an object, person, or situation, and then, in our relaxing time, we bring it back into the present and keep ruminating on it.

Rumination keeps us in the past, preventing us from connecting with the present.

(God knocks on our door every moment, but we are out, visiting others, who again, are visiting others).

The central pillar of our rumination is “I”; you can ruminate only on your own experiences, not someone else’s.

We are all cows, ruminating.

Realizing this and then breaking the monotony of this rumination can turn every moment into a divine one.

Divinity is simply the absence of you.

As soon as you break away from “I”, you start living in the present, in the lap of the divine.

Every moment is divine if you develop an eye for it.

Wherever you are, stay aware of everything and everyone around you, AS IS.

Whether you are walking in the woods or in company with others, stay fully aware, 100%, without using the mind, just as it is, because everything IS divine; everything is consciousness.

100% awareness is required; even a single thought will kill it, because the nature of the divine is TOTAL (Purna), nothing less will do.

(Start first when you are alone, and later continue in daily life).

Practice is the key.

When awareness reaches 100%, it becomes profound silence, binding us all.

Caution: divinity cannot be “thought” of; then it’s only the mind’s doing.

One has to experience the shunya state first.

Only then will it start spreading outwards.

When you are aware of 10,000 things around you (including “You”), your awareness is “divided” into 10,000 “pieces” (even though it’s indivisible).

When you remain aware of the awareness, you become centralized and complete.

Then, the world’s events just become happenings, not DONE by anyone in particular.

(If there is no “I”, there is no “You” either).

One needs inner sadhana for this.
