The human body has evolved
in such a way that
sun-rays, oxygen and water are necessary for its survival and growth.
This is true for all humans
on this planet.

I wonder if there is anything
in the information world,
such as a body of knowledge
that can be accessed by humans
to address our general well being?

When you are sick, if the doctor says there is nothing to worry about,
you are relieved.

Similarly, do you have any way of finding out whether your prayers have any real value, or is it the information itself doing the magic?

Can you distinguish between the two?

The discovery about yourself, is seeing how you respond to information.
It is not an “understanding”.

Understanding is an idealistic interpretation, but how you act is how a specific idea is operating in you.

Life has its own power to take care of itself if it functions appropriately.

It is our expectations, and our drive to project an imaginary future that is creating conflict.

Hope
is
the
mechanism
to
postpone
a
solution.

We believe that our ideas are
more real than our existence.
We give our life for them.

That dynamic is wrong.

Life's innate programming is working
in every individual. If the individual is healthy by construction, then he or she creates a healthy environment.

If a river is powerful, a civilisation is created around it.

If a tree is vital, the birds and bees and everything together create a symbiosis.

Nobody needs to tell an animal
how much it should eat.

We are the only ones that do not
know how much to eat!

Thinking is not a problem,
eating is not a problem
and sex is not a problem.
It is how much you invest in them.

That rhythm is the most important aspect of your living. It will determine how vital you are.

You are using thought to solve a very different problem - the problem of being and living. You are reading the Upanishads or the Bible
to get more clues.

What is actually happening is you are just collecting information and are still involved with thinking. Your effort to meditate is also the same thing.

The thing that makes you do
one thing and not the other,
can be called WILL.

The human system cannot be free from language and meaning.

A clean slate is a utopia ... bullshit!

One cannot be without thought. Thought will function the way it is supposed to.

There is no such thing as being thoughtless.

That is incorrect knowledge and a hodgepodge!

That which makes no sense to your system is not reality at all, absolutely none whatsoever.

Then what is reality? It is just a definition.

To me there is no reality
other than functional reality.
How I function is my reality.

All the other realities
are mental projections.

You think you have understood UG by listening to him, but you can never gain his authority and confidence, period.

It is life's energy that was working there for itself and by itself.

It has its own authority,
it cannot live on the
borrowed authority of somebody else.

How pertinent is my knowledge
when I am alone?

How am I as I know myself, and
how is that relevant to the way
I respond to everything?

That is the only self knowledge.
That is the real understanding
of its workings.

Right from the beginning
the religious field was created out of fear and the idea of a fictitious reality.

Anything you cannot prove to yourself other than through faith,
has no foundation.

Once you have perceived this fact
you will never ask anybody
to believe in such things.

Social conditioning is
systematically numbing us,
propelling the will and
fortifying it through social rewards
to achieve something that
we can show and justify
as the purpose of life.

Whether you binge-read UG
or you repeat mantras forever,
it's actually going to take you to
a smelly and orthodox
corner of your existence.

You think you have created
a paradise for yourself,
but that does not exist.

What happened to UG was
that he freed himself from the
social pressures, oppressions,
and the goal-driven
“ghost in the machine".

That freedom was making him
live life to the full.

When the promised state is not attained in spite of all your efforts,
you have to give up.

In this giving up, which is not in the hope of getting something else, the body will begin to function differently. Then there will be a new kind of confidence.

You will discover something
that will make your concept of enlightenment seem childish!
It will have no value.

How can you force a kid
to believe in something
that you believe in?

His or her brain is developing
in a different way.

How can that brain
perceive a reality that will match
your so-called non-existing
fundamental reality?

Anything you gravitate towards
creates a desire in the mind.
The unfulfillment of desire is a conflict
that breeds within and proliferates.

Emancipation is a freedom
for the system
not to have such conflict, ever.

Can you acquire freedom? No!
The shackles fall off somehow.

I do not call it freedom.
I cannot do whatever I want!

I am a perfect slave of Mother Nature.

What is the meaning of freedom?

To be able to do
what is most important for you
at a given time is freedom.

Knowledge has become an addiction, just the way
we are addicted to cell phones.
We have forgotten
all about the quality of life.

We think the only way to decipher
the meaning and purpose of life
is through the knowledge game.

Sensitivity is the name of the game.
It is a fundamental property
of the individual system, but
we numb it and make ourselves dull,
so that our will cannot be obstructed.

Religion and social influence,
which want us to achieve certain goals,
have destroyed this sensitivity.

If you have any talent,
you should convert it into money.
Otherwise, your talent is useless.

You will end up regretting
that nobody values your talent,
that nobody understands you.

I am not joking.
This is the bottom line of our existence.

I have no doubt
that the functioning of this body
according to its own rhythm,
is all that is necessary
for a human being.

There is nothing beyond this.
I call it complete trust.
