No one can aspire for liberation. It is not a point from here to there. One is seeking stable pleasure, freedom from suffering in the name of liberation. This is the limit of the mind, it can not ask for more. Liberation is to see the ground, where pleasure and pain are not as something friendly and alien, but are the contrasting features to let the life move on. One is bound to this duality. To see that there is no way to come out, opens up to the limitless.

The point is -mind will always ask for stable pleasure, even when it asks for liberation- as something satisfactory. It is only when it sees its limit that something happens.

Understanding can not end at a satisfactory point.

Any relaxed and conscious action (or no- action) in any direction is the culmination of understanding.

It is like complete experimenting with one self without depending upon any outer agency or idea or conclusion.

You can not come out, be free of action.
You can be free of the bondage of action as compulsion and result as relief.

Now ANY action in ANY direction is creation.

Life rewards you not because you know more or put more efforts or you have theories and philosophies about life or you know what is good or what is bad, or you know what is sacred or what is profane. But because you are interested in Life, interested in every aspect of Life, interested in what comes before you, interested in what you call even in minor things.

Physical fear, danger which is before one can be dealt with, has to be dealt with. Psychological fear, insecurity, anxiety, confusion is there because something can not be dealt with now. It is there because you want to feel comfortable now in respect of something, which can not be solved, dealt with now.

At this moment, you have no option but to bear it, absorb it (fear and so on). Suddenly, there is opening.

The fact is that these negativities are painful to you.

Can you bear this pain without resorting to any complaining, blaming, feeling guilty or introducing the idea of God, non-doership or any other theory?

One wants to run away, escape the pain of negativities (or one does not feel the pain) by coining ideas.

One does not see the pain as it is.

This seeing as it is concentrates the energy.

You get to know the Truth, the Truth of Existence.

Negativities can not be wished away, one has to bear their friction, pain. There is no escape.
Now your action in ANY direction is creative.

Thought (essentially through verbalization) and instinct (actual arising in the body and brain) are always in fighting mode.

Thought wants to win the fight by suppression or indulgence.

Understanding dawns when this attempt is spontaneously aborted. There arises a fused compromise between thought and instinct.

“I want to eat sugar. Thought comes in and stops that it is not good for health. Now if I do not eat sugar, there is friction in the mind. If I do not eat it, I am satisfied that I have controlled my senses. To overcome the friction of not eating, I want to convert it into my satisfaction of winning over my senses. This satisfaction is also a friction as it involves sacrificing the taste of sugar.

Can I watch that whatever side I choose, it will cause friction? Can I ignore this game of the mind, which wants to allure me, satisfy me in some thing or some idea? Can you watch the futility of selecting any side?

Just see one thing is sure to happen, you will eat sugar or you will not.

Can you step back and see the workings of your mind?

 Can you ignore the satisfaction given by eating sugar or leaving sugar? The factual taste of sugar, which your senses sense has little to do with this game of the mind. The game of the mind is to drag you towards some satisfaction continuously.

Can you be aware of this mechanism?

The satisfaction enjoyed by you whether by eating or leaving sugar is sure to boomerang. It is always partial as the friction is looming side by side this satisfaction. The awareness of this mechanism is an invitation to ‘wholeness’ to operate. It will not matter whether the result is eating sugar or leaving sugar. You enjoy a sense of freeness by ignoring the satisfaction. This freedom is not dependent upon results.”- From You are Trapped.

All spirituality and so on attract you because you are not interested in your work, in what you are doing. One is not interested in action, but wants to arrive at through results. Now one searches arriving point, the complacent point through spirituality, idea of God and so on. It seeks ways, solutions, options.

Spirituality is a hit on the mind that the complacent point, the permanent solution is an illusion.

The understanding puts you back where action arises because one is to do it or one wants to do it and not to feel the comfort of ‘should be’, theory, ideation, philosophy. Every action becomes experimentation not to reach at an end but to rejoice in experimentation.

If spirituality gives you comfort against your normal life-you become bound to spirituality as a relief item. You are stuck up.

To be aware of this bondage is the opening.

One does not like to be free because in total freedom, you do not have a reference point to bank upon. The comfort of depending upon past, experience, others’ words, history, data is not available.

One does not want to leave this comfort as this is known, may be harmful. The comfort of the known overwhelms one.

One fears one may go wrong. One wants (apart from technical help) confirmation, support from others, others’ words. One does not act with total responsibility.

When one absorbs the fear of going wrong, as this fear can not be undone- one regains one’s Original position.

Now one intends, acts and sees what emerges from moment to moment. One has become the creative impulse of the Universe.
