Every thing ‘IS‘….

Every thing ‘IS‘….

An interesting perspective crossed my mind , early in the morning today . I decided to write and share the same to get deeper in to the phenomenon. The point is that? every thing that is happening with and around us is ‘ just happening’. Every thing? that exist ‘just exists’. All that is , is only is. What I am stating is that ,if we can take things , phenomenon and relationships as only ‘is’ without getting in to the right and wrong , the simplicity out of this would be a joy. We all start with ‘is’ but? in no time move to ‘ought’. ‘Is’ does not stay long as we want to be certain and sure. He is my friend and he is extremely intelligent. Can we stop at ; he is my friend? He is my son who has topped in senior secondary examination. Can we stop at ; he is my son and It is a loving relationship? Imagine , you taking all your relations as ‘is’ and nurture them as ‘is’ with positives like love , affection , trust , empathy , help and support. All relationship shall then be true joy.

The moment ,we try to bring an idea or a concept or a view point , we stop being with ‘is’. We judge , evaluate and assess every thing , every relationship , every experience? against some standard or definition. We try to determine the experience and that is when we start getting in to our own biases and illusions. The trick is staying with ‘is’.

Lets look at it at personal level. I am getting certain thoughts , these? are thoughts , that is it. The moment I get in to good bad beautiful and ugly of it , I shall complicate. I have a concept of me being happy and that concept keeps me striving for happiness. If the reality is in line with the concept , I am happy otherwise I am missing and looking for it. Happiness is and that is it. It is always there , it is not a function of any thing else , its beautiful and complete even alone. The fact of the matter is the - I am. The is the only truth , rest all is illusion , incomplete knowledge? and the half baked concept. Is the chasing of happiness is the cause of my unhappiness. Can I be jut in ‘is’?

I worry , get unduly emotional , also may get in to ego and arrogance , the moment I qualify my being. I may also get in to undervaluing self , while the fact is that ‘you are there’ that’s it.I need to be this and I need to be that , the life becomes difficult and the flow get obstructed. Obstruction shall lead to contamination and maybe disease. Oh yes , I get in to? , what psychologist call ‘ hypochondria’ , I get tensed unnecessarily figuring out , what’s wrong with me? There is nothing wrong ,no need to be perturbed , just be with ‘is’. All knowledge is finite and it is this knowledge that takes us away from ‘is’. We all have different level and type of knowledge , this completes the reality further , with reference to ‘is’

You might be thinking that , I am suggesting inaction , states quo or even fatalism. Not exactly , I am only saying , figure out the ‘joy’ and be with the joy. Do what ever brings more joy. Grow but with joy, earn but with joy, learn but with joy and contribute with joy. Pleasure is different than joy , pleasure is more to the sense while the joy is to the soul. Further , every thing is evolving all the time in the universe and we may not be able to sense as our sensory abilities are limited.

Adam Grant in his book Think Again states many real life situations where , we miss investigating truth. Preaching , prosecuting and politicking , the three modes we always stay in , instead of being with ‘is ‘ and diving deeper , revisiting , reflecting and rethinking.

Everything? ‘is’ , every thing is changing at varied speed and degree of manifestation, visible evolve in to invisible and invisible emerge and manifest. Noting is alone , its all connected and the prime point is Sat Chit ananda!

If it is joy doing , it is with doing more. That ‘is’ it.

It's important to know that I do not know.

I am ‘is’

Jai ho !

Nirmal Singh Raghav Is it similar to the power of Now! Obstruction is contamination, of course but may or may not be! Life is all about ifs and buts, its spices do create excitement around To be or Not be. Nirmal is a great human being ...you want me to stop here...but then knowing you for the last 15 years will go to waste if I do not add on to certain riders...with but, then and if and so! We stay in this universe which has created epic like ramayan or Mahabharat or old n new testament ..suffering brings out resilence. India lost out in the WC, introspect is must, 10 wins hardly makes a cut if you have lost the final..so joy definitely may not be there, satisfaction will be as we were in the final. My take! Keep sharing .....
