It is only when the ‘idea’ of God, Awareness, liberation, Enlightenment or about any controlling power drops from your mind that the whole energy is concentrated. You are unable to escape your pain (any discomforting feeling) and uncertainty through ANY ‘ideation' or by complaining, blaming, feeling guilty. The self-sustained ground is realized.

Any interaction that causes confusion, fear, anxiety, anger gives you a chance to become Aware. Confusion, fear and so on cause a speed brake in the momentum of thought as it is not able to act in the old way, stereotyped way. These expressions show that there is an unbridgeable gap between ‘what is’ and ‘what you think should be’. It is being comfortable with this gap that supremely relaxes you. It is your attunement to the Original.

When you acquire any possession or money, the satisfaction stays only for a short period, though you continue to have that possession or money. Brain requires fresh tension, fresh impetus to operate. The illusion enters as if the possession or money will give stable satisfaction, stable relief. If one notices this fact, one is on the ‘self-sustained’ ground of tension-relief. To seek stable relief is the illusion. ‘Nothing’ can give you stable relief. 

Mind comes under the illusion as if entertainment, holidays, addition to possessions will or can take away ‘tension-relief’ momentum and can put one in a relieved state. ‘Tension-relief’ is the momentum of the brain, is life energy itself-is the self-sustained ground.

When any problem or any difficult situation is solved, mind converts as if the feeling of tension has been removed from the mind or has been undone. ‘Feeling of tension’ can not be solved or undone. No relief can undo it. It dissolves, is transformed when you do not escape it by ideas, explanations, ‘why and how’, that is, acknowledge it ‘as it is’. This dissolution attunes you to supreme relaxation with unending friction to operate. You are on the self-sustained ground.

Human being has become so much addicted to relief, pleasure that it does not feel friction, disturbance. Unless you see the fear, uncertainty, ambiguity -about tomorrow, about anything-and that nothing can be done to solve it now, you can not see the Truth. Covering up fear with ideas, explanations is dullness, decay, death.

As digestion of food, circulation of blood, breathing in and out and so on are non-volitional processes-whatever arises in the mind, the thinking process, is also non-volitional. To see this is to see the total ground.

Connectivity

Every brain (individual) is connected to every other brain and all other things that exist or can exist. This connectivity is operated as ‘comfort-discomfort-comfort feeling’ in the brain. The (ground of) connectivity is instantly recognized when the feeling of discomfort is experienced ‘as it is’. One rejects the discomforting feeling and remains busy in waiting for stable comfort; hence connectivity is obscured-hence dullness, decay, death. The recognition of connectivity is to see ‘you as the total field of Existence’. Supreme relaxation, the self-sustained ground operates with unending friction as comfort-discomfort-comfort.

Everything has to be dealt with in the active present. Every challenge has to be met in the active present. Whatever knowledge you have at any moment is sufficient to meet the challenge, the active present. Cry for more knowledge, information, capacity to meet the active present is to escape the jerk of the moment, is to seek the comfort zone away from Now. To absorb this jerk, to let go this comfort connects one to the limitless field.

Nothing is attractive as absolute. Every attraction is against some lack, repulsion, discomfort. The illusion sees as if lack, repulsiveness, discomfort is escaped or undone by the attraction. Seeing the connection puts you in a fused state. You touch the space, which is not bound. Every experience is complete now from moment to moment-ever new. 

There are psychological problems-one does not like one’s work, worry about future, relationship problems, career problems (what to choose). Psychological problems arise when you are otherwise safe and secured in the moment. Can you see that all psychological problems are psychological discomforts? One is seeking psychological security, comfortableness, stable relief. Can you see that this relief is illusory?  Seeing that this relief is illusory, one is now attuned to supreme relaxation. One sees abundance. One sees all possibilities.

Human being (the individual) is a perfect specie as it can raise the issue of perfection-‘why the things are not perfect’. If one can see this, understand this-one sees every movement as from order to order instead of from disorder (imperfection) to order. One is attuned to perfection.

You use words to describe your states-anger, fear, anxiety, confusion, happiness, pleasure. By using words, you want to reject or retain the state. ‘I do not want to be angry’. ‘I want to be free from fear’. ‘I want to be happy’. And so on. The words create an alienation as if there is a separate entity to reject or retain. Can you notice this? This noticing is the concentration of total energy.

‘Why one is seeking’ or ‘What one is seeking’-to find out this is the whole issue. ‘What one is seeking actually’ is the key to understand. One is satisfied by ‘questions and answers about seeking’ thrown by Gurus or others-the restlessness, the confusion within does not come to the fore. One remains where one was.
