Whole is pure existence, consciousness and bliss. Whole is complete, one, beyond, infinite, omnipresent, omniscient, owner and controller. Process of unfolding or emulsion (consciousness and matter) starts when dormant-ego becomes active, which with the help of wrong-knowledge metaphorically demarcates a fraction from the Whole. This gives rise to “I” and “Mine”, which tries to expand in a wrong direction i.e. externally, to consolidate and complete itself. From Whole, the apparent-fragmentation, inherits the ability to-know, to-desire and to-act. “Knowledge” in apparent-fragmentation creates incompleteness and “desire” to attain, which finally leads to “act” to complete the incompleteness. Since this incompleteness can never be completed externally, the know/desire/act vicious circle never comes to an end. At the same time, the experience after an “act” gets categorized as good or bad. A good and bad experience defines likes and dislikes pattern, which gives pleasure or pain respectively. Then apparent-fragmentation tries to ensure that likes should be repeated and dislikes should be avoided at all cost. Any obstruction on the way is dealt with worry, anger and violence. Worry, anger and violence further leads to misery. Happiness is less sadness and sadness is less happiness. Happiness emerges, stays and merges back on the substratum of sadness and vice versa. Happiness and sadness are two sides of the same coin. Happiness and sadness are distorted and impure version of bliss and non-bliss respectively. In fact to attain pleasure or happiness, one has to go through the series of pain such as efforts involved in attainment of an object, safeguard the attained object, pain after the object life cycle is over and violence involved in the above process. Therefore apparent happiness is sadness. Apparent-fragmentation infected by ego, directly or indirectly, tries to attain eternal existence, consciousness and bliss externally, which is not possible, because they all belong to Whole. When this is understood fully, then the process of folding back starts - ego becomes dormant and it merges back in the Whole, which is pure existence, consciousness and bliss. |
