It has been almost a fortnight since I came back from Dharamshala after experiencing something that is sublime.
There are many things people feel are sublime- this quality is hard to describe, for it usually means that there is this sense of ecstasy in something; and usually it has to do with the feelings or emotions some thing or ocassion that brings it about.
But what happens when this ecstacy comes about when you just are.
You just are.
You are aware of everything; you can see it feel it and hear things. Yet when there is that moment-- when nothing touches you, but for the sheer physicality of it being there and you not being an intrinsic part but there all the same --that is when you come close to being in a sublime state of mind.
Can't think of any other word to describe this feeling. There is no word in English that quite demonstrates what this feeling is. To be and yet be removed. That sense of awareness of the Now is something only the Masters know all the time. We do know it too;but rarely do we allow ourselves to be in that state as the cacophony of life swirls about us all the time. We put aside that Divine state - so easily within us- so that we can continue to be part of that melee in the mind.
We choose. Truly we choose what we get. We are not concoius of what we really ask for. We just ask. Let me become powerful; let me be rich; let me find that fantastic love;let me be the most loved person on earth; let me....; let me......; let me......give me .....; give me. give me....... and on and on it goes. This asking.
Very few times do we realise that we do actually get what we ask. Its just that when it comes, it comes couched in a form that is not what we recognise. For every demand we have made ,there is the supply. Only we dont see it that way.
So they say, dont ask.Just be. Enjoy the now without wanting, without clutching, without grabbing and without attatching.
See for yourselves - how much you are in a sublime state of mind.
Sublime.
That is what we all are.
That is what we strive to get.
We dont know it yet.
But that is why we are here.
And while we are here,
become that.
The light, the love and the power!
All without asking; without grasping,without conditions.
For now
Now
