What exactly is insecurity?


We are trained in wrong ways; otherwise, security is something to be afraid of, and insecurity is something to be rejoiced.
What exactly is insecurity?
It means tomorrow is not going to repeat today. It means tomorrow you may not even be alive. It means that one has to live each moment as if it is the last moment.
A life of security will be simply boring. It will be like seeing the same movie again and again and again – knowing every detail of what is going to
happen.
You can enjoy a movie only once. If you are an idiot, then it is another matter ....
Insecurity is the very fabric of life. If you don’t understand insecurity, you can never understand life.
Seasons will change; climates will change; the fall will come, the spring will come.
Everything will go on changing, nothing can be taken for granted; this is insecurity. You want everything to be certain, permanent.
But have you ever thought what will be the outcome of it if everything is permanent?
You eat the same food every day, you say the same things every day, you listen to the same things every day.
And there is no death even to
demolish this tragic living – you are living in a nightmare.
Insecurity keeps people fresh, alive, adventurous – knowing that things can be changed.
Even without their changing them, they are going to be changed.
So there is great scope for change, for transformation.
An ancient saying is, ”The authentic man is one whom the sunrise never finds where the sunset leaves him”; or, ”where the sunrise leaves him, the sunset never finds him there.”
He is always on the move, he is a flow ... he is not a dirty pond going nowhere.
But the whole training of our minds is such that we are made afraid of insecurity, and our whole life we are trying for safety.
Financially, politically, religiously – in every dimension we want to be secure.
But security means death, a living death. It means tomorrow will be simply a repetition of today, and today is a repetition of yesterday.

Bliss

Bliss is not something to be got. On the other hand you are always Bliss. This desire is born of the sense of incompleteness. To whom is this sense of incompleteness? Enquire. In deep sleep you were blissful: Now you are not so. What has interposed between that Bliss and this non-bliss? It is the ego. Seek its source and find you are Bliss.
There is nothing new to get. You have, on the other hand, to get rid of your ignorance which makes you think that you are other than Bliss. For whom is this ignorance? It is to the ego. Trace the source of the ego. Then the ego is lost and Bliss remains over. It is eternal. You are That, here and now.... That is the master key for solving all doubts. The doubts arise in the mind. The mind is born of the ego. The ego rises from the Self. Search the source of the ego and the Self is revealed. That alone remains. The universe is only expanded Self. It is not different from the Self.
(Bhagavan in 'Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi' 106)


”WE COME INTO THIS WORLD ALONE,

”WE COME INTO THIS WORLD ALONE,
WE DEPART ALONE” –
THIS ALSO IS ILLUSION.
I WILL TEACH YOU THE WAY
NOT TO COME, NOT TO GO!

WE EAT, EXCRETE, SLEEP, AND GET UP;
THIS IS OUR WORLD.
ALL WE HAVE TO DO AFTER THAT
IS TO DIE.
I SHALL NOT DIE, I SHALL NOT GO ANYWHERE,
I’LL BE HERE;
BUT DON’T ASK ME ANYTHING,
I SHALL NOT ANSWER.
WHATSOEVER IT MAY BE,
IT IS ALL PART OF THE WORLD OF ILLUSION,
DEATH ITSELF
NOT BEING A REAL THING.

SHOULD YOU WISH TO KNOW THE WAY
IN BOTH THIS WORLD,
AND THAT OTHER,
ASK A MAN OF MERCY AND SINCERITY.
A MONK ASKS MASTER PAI-CHANG,
”WHO IS THE BUDDHA?”
PAI-CHANG ANSWERS,
”WHO ARE YOU?”
THE PURPOSE OF THE BUDDHAS IS NOT TO INFORM YOU but to transform you.
They want to bring a radical change in your consciousness, they want to change your very roots.
They want to bring new eyes to you, new clarity.
Their purpose is not to inform.
They are not there to transfersome knowledge but to transplant some being.
They want to share their light with you – the purpose is not to inform but enlighten.

Chapter #1
THE MEDICINE OF THE UNBORN UNDYING
Take It Easy, Vol 2

Be very scientific in watching.

WHEN I say meditate over it, I don’t mean think it over, I don’t mean concentrate on it, I don’t mean contemplate it.
When I say meditate over it, I mean watch, be a witness. Whatsoever the problem – anger, sexuality, jealousy, greed, ego –
whatsoever the problem is, the medicine is the same.
If you suffer from jealousy, just watch how it arises in you, how it grabs you, how it surrounds you, clouds you, how it tries to manipulate you, how it drags you into paths where you never wanted to go in the first place,
How finally it creates great frustration in you, how it destroys your energy, dissipates your energy and leaves you very negatively depressed, frustrated.
Just watch the whole thing.
And remember not to condemn, because if you condemn you have started thinking.
I am not saying condemn it.
Just see the facticity of it, without condemnation, without appreciation, without any judgement for or against.
Just watch, aloof, distant, as if you have nothing to do with it.
Be very scientific in watching.

All that you can think of doing is to wait with love, trust – in silence – and the guest will come. You cannot manage the guest to come; you can only be just an available host: no responsibility, just a pure awaiting....

Healthy weekened !


Freedom


Speed ???

If you want to enter meditation time should not be of concern to you. If you are in a hurry then nothing is possible, and this has become a most deeply rooted problem for the modern man. The West has made people too time-conscious, not knowing where they are going, but speeding to get there because time is short.

I have heard: Once a pilot communicated on the intercom to his passengers: It seems everything has gone wrong: the radar is not functioning, the radio is out of order, even the compass has ceased to function; but don’t be worried, we are keeping the same speed.

But this is what is happening to the modern mind: everything is out of order except speed. Where are you going? For what are you going? Of course, you are going fast, but you are going so fast that you have no time to look at where you are going and why you are going there.
People come to me and they say: I can stay here only one day. is meditation possible? They ask: Can you give me something so that I can know the Divine? They are childish, juvenile – they have not grown up at all. They don’t know what they are saying.
