Shunyata

Shunyata

Emptiness, Shunyata, is the svaroop (nature) of consciousness, as only Shunya can be Purna (complete).

All the drama of life takes place within this Shunya state, just the way all clouds get born and die within the emptiness of the sky.

There is no doer, handler, organizer, or operator of the drama of life; there cannot be anything or anyone outside of consciousness, as consciousness is infinite.

Consciousness is life itself.

The core of everything and everyone is this formless life itself.

Your anger is life’s energy expressing itself, and so is love.

Raam was an expression of the same energy, and so was the Raavan; your right hand is “You” and so is your left hand.

Life does not favor Raam or Raavan; it allows both to exist, and that’s how it maintains the balance.

“I” -ness is the same life energy, and so is “You” -ness.

The core of it all is life itself.

And this life is infinite.

Infinite is an amazing “thing”.

Wherever you place yourself in the infinite, in every direction there is infinite, and that means, everything and everyone is in the center of the infinite existence. (In a finite world, there can be only one center.)

(And that’s how Godliness manages to be in the center of everyone all the time – omnipotent, omnipresent.)

This is how infinite is always in balance (sthitpragnya).

This balance is what keeps the whole universe (or multiple universes) in balance.

Faith comes only when this infinity and its balance are realized.

Realizing this balance is the whole crux of spirituality.

The whole universe may end up in total annihilation, but this balance will always stay balanced. (All the clouds may fight each other out and get destroyed, but the sky will remain sky, undisturbed).

Realizing the infinity gives birth to a profound faith.

This faith will remove your anxiety, fear, and restlessness in life, and a profound peace will prevail.

Whatever life events occur, one can sail through them on the boat of this faith, knowing that this balance will always even things out.

Faith in this unknowable truth of life is priceless.

It doesn’t come cheap; a profound sadhana is required, but once it comes, the ego does not stand a chance to exist.

Don’t TRY to be good and don’t TRY to avoid being bad.

Whatever events happen in life, realize that it’s LIFE expressing in the form of these events; it wasn’t YOU or SOMEONE doing it.

It was something that had to happen, and it did. (Niyati).

Little by little, the burden of control will start falling off your shoulders, giving birth to a free life.
