Shunyatha – the turnaround point

 

Shunyatha – the turnaround point

Reaching the void space.

Coming back to the source – shunyatha

Becoming simple in this complicated life should be the main objective once you have reached a certain stage in life when you start getting that cramped feeling.  You start getting a feeling that you are stuck in a jam and things have come to standstill and there is no possibility of getting out of it.  You feel frustrated, tied down, a trapped feeling, not being yourselves.  You get a feeling that after getting this far in your life, having achieved what you had aspired and moving towards a direction to reach your idealistic goal in life that you have lost control on yourselves. Things are going haywire and nothing seems to be going as you desired it to be.

The possibility of knowing oneself begins only when you reach a deadlock in your life. It is only after you reach a stage in life were you are helpless and hopeless, where in, you cannot be of any help to yourselves or possibility of getting help from others or external source.  You have reached a point in life where your journey in life starts to take a turn and you start withdrawing yours selves and start the journey inwards towards the source – the origin, the mula, the reason you are here in this vast cosmos – the ever expanding universe.

Our parents, relatives, friends and the society has conditioned us in such a way that our journey in life ends in a deadlock situation.  Unless one regains control of oneself and his situation in life, the journey of knowing oneself is a remote possibility. This is the turnaround point in life.  An opportunity to stop and take a u-turn and begin the journey inwards towards the source.

We human beings face problems and situation in life because we have drifted away from our source.

We face more problems when we are farther and farther away from the source.

We are born innocent in this world and get corrupted over a course of time and lose our innocence. We pay an unprecedented price for losing our innocence.

Insanity is the only possible certainty. A sane person becoming insane. This is the only additional quality you can acquire over the course of journey you have undertaken in your life.

It seems worthless to undertake this journey if you are lead to insanity.  Nobody desires to be abnormal or insane if he or she is shown a way out of this. Yes, there is absolutely a certainty of becoming sane and normal again – being ourselves.

If becoming normal again is your intention in life, than what is that normalcy state.

Realization will release you from becoming insane and there arises a possibility of becoming normal again – the default state.

Remaining as a witness to all the happenings in life will lead you to no mind state were in you are at the source. You can only be a witness and remain so to all the happenings around you.

Just because you got distracted and attracted and tempted to get yourselves involved in the happenings in life around you that you got into a spoiled state or soiled state.

Unless you take credit for the current state you are in there is no possibility of knowing oneselves.

The blame game should stop. We have to put a firm foot for ending this nauseating blame game – it is enough of it.  It has not helped us to reach higher state of being in our life.  The culprit has to be caught and shown the door out permanently.

Now you are off tune and you have to get in tune with life.

Get in tune with life, life becomes effortless living.  You go with the flow. Nature takes care.

Shunyatha - zeroness. 

It is always easy to explain about something when you have a substance. It is very difficult and near to immpossible to explain about nothing or nothingness - shunyatha.

Shunyatha has nothing in it but that is the whole thing.

You are a part of shunyatha the circle of life, you live in the circumfrence, the periphery, going round and round not able to find a way out.  The day you realize its absurdity you reach the middle point of that circle, the void space, and now you can see everybody else going round and round the circle but you just remain a witness to the happenings around you and the helpless state they are in.  Unless there is a thirst you cannot quinch it.  So unless there arises a desire to know who you are no one can help you.  It starts with you and the master comes in as a guide and assures you that now you have come to your right senses and the real journey of your life begins now. Since you have realized it is futile to lead a materialistic life, when you have no idea about the subject that is you. Now your approach towards life becomes more subjective rather than objective which you had experienced until now. 

Shunyatha means balance, 0 is balance. When someone attains zero than we call him/her as balanced individual. He/she has seen both sides of balance and wants to remain in 0, 

Neither this nor that in-between, balanced.

Life is subjective rather than objective.  The subject is you.

Be a balanced being.
