Body is formed of what we imagined

Man survives with his power of imagination. His paths are routed out primarily out of his wish. We develop notions and concepts to lead our life. One becomes a doctor out of his wish and notions that may be pre-conceived or conceived during his course of upbringing, to become a doctor.

 

I’m not discarding the role played by destiny or circumstances in shaping an individual; but the wish is also a dominant factor here. Moreover, it’s been said that ‘destiny’ is also the result of consequences of our past-deeds (karma), which was also derived out of our past wishes. This means destiny is derived from wish and its execution.

 

Life is a continuation beyond births and deaths mainly driven by an individual’s imagination or wish. It travels through many births and deaths until his wish gets fulfilled. Past actions derived out of past wishes become destiny and present wishes and actions pave future.

 

Our physical appearances are also result of our strong imaginations and wishes of past life, say masters. Our body is an edifice or a memoir of our past wishes. It is made of our solidified wishes or imaginations. The wishes or imaginations got curdled to form the matter or the body.

 

Imaginations are so powerful that it forms matter from waves.

 

Body is nothing but matter and energy; less we imagine we become ‘matter-less’ and more we imagine we become ‘weighty’, ‘drowsy’ and thus the life will become a burden.

 

Bodies’ burden is life’s burden, say masters.

Devolution for a revolution

Evolution is a climb-up for all organisms to a more advanced level of acclimatization to cope up with the forwarding competent time. It is a way of innate modernization occurring in all, attributing to their survival instincts. In a way, it is a motion from lesser to greater complications and it is occurring involuntarily along with the ageing of the universe.

But in spirituality, the word ‘devolution’ is more significant than ‘evolution’. Devolution means to decline from a higher to a lower level of effective power or vitality or essential quality. It is a devolvement from outer world to the inner self.

As evolution of the ‘physical world’ is uncontrollable, devolution of the ‘mental world’ is to be achieved in order to strike a balance.

The uncontrolled physical expansion of the universe is witnessed by everyone only in their mental plane. Significantly, on a serious scrutiny, we could realize that without a mind the so called magnificent elaboration of the universe is inconceivable and hence insignificant; at least for a being sans mind.

This is why the masters say external world is a projection of the inner mind.

 

Devolution of mind means retrieval to its core. The pure mind is the one which is detached from all externalities. It is devoid of all identifications, thought waves and fluctuations. Always, it will remain that which is that.

 

Mind will become a dry seed and while retrieving into such a state through devolution it will become a revolution.

 

From evolution (something) through devolution (the process of becoming ‘nothing’) the mind will become a revolution (everything)!

Likes and dislikes

Self-surveillance means balancing the hypo and the hyper nervousness of the mind. Mind is a fallacy to mind itself. It is unable to define its own nature.

Vedanta speaks of mind as non-existent when we firmly believe that it does not exist. So the stress of the statement is on ‘we’ rather than on the ‘mind’.

Mind is nothing but a person’s own creation in relation to the way he relates himself or herself to the society. Because in the process of ‘relating’ one of the most dangerous concepts of this universe ‘duality’ does arises and thus ‘mind’ with its venomous spits of ‘thought ways’ too will come to apparent existence.

In essence, the mind means ‘dual’; it is a combination of positive and negative thoughts supplemented with bombardments of ‘contradictions’.

For mind the whole existence is related to its process of relativity. It wants to ‘suck’ everything and ‘relate’ with everything else.

Mind divides the oneness of the universe into its likes and dislikes. Further it adds the concept of ‘love’ with likable and ‘hate’ with dislikable. Furthermore, it adds sub-concepts like ‘possession’ with what it loves and ‘repulsion’ with what it really hates. Then, ‘possession’ will be followed by ‘over possessions’ and ‘repulsion’ by ‘agitations and attacks’.

The fallacy of mind leads us into further fissions. It is the way ‘the ever flux’ mind grows; and along with that ontogeny we will lose our peace and tranquility.

Peace lies in unity whereas mind works only in multiplicity.

No mind is ‘unity’, say the masters.
