Awareness is freedom - by Sundar Srinivasan
By - 9:28 AM Wednesday 11 January 2006
The title of this post has been a significant insight for me in my explores....normally, we try to "do" things; as in, if we are angry, we try to handle or manage the anger...
It is a matter of effort...however, if we step back and watch the anger, non-judgementally; i.e. we do not condemn it's arising, it just passes after completing a cycle of experiencing...i have heard a great master(think it was osho) describe awareness thus, "when a lighted candle comes into the room, darkness goes away...darkness does not need any "removal"...the flames of awareness have the capacity to drive away the clutters that inhibit and stall us in life... as we march towards oneness.we do not have to remove anything, they simply go away as awareness grows enabling an expansion of our consciousness.our capacities to be aware increase as we are able to see our mind commentaries along with the event.The mind commentaries which compare, judge etc are as much an event...
"Do not waste time trying to overcome your weaknesses and failures. Simply raise your consciousness, transcend and free your thoughts from limitation and illusion, and find within the very center of your being a wholeness and completeness! Cease wallowing in your imperfections and never accept limitations! Aim high, and you will get there. It is only your thoughts that hold you back."
