Three questions

Always a stream of possession knocks at every mind to flow out as commands of possessiveness to gather all objects of mental pleasure from the external world. 

We need to question, first of all, the authoritative arguments of possession or ownership. Whether we have any right to demand an ownership of externalities? No. 

Secondly, we need to ponder over the question of ‘commanding’ and ‘possessing’. Whether we have any legal right to command an outsider or possess an external object? Discarding the dictatorial sense, the answer is ‘surely not’! 

Finally the question of seeking mental pleasure from an external source would need to be considered. Whether an outbound object is really capable of providing you of an everlasting comfort? It is idiotic to seek pleasure from a fleeting externality in whose changing phenomenon you don’t have a direct role. It changes according to its will and fancies, or faith and fate.      

But still man pins hope on others and variables. 

An absurd view

Writers say life is absurd, for it possesses a symptom of hide-and-seek. Vedanta, relying on its scientific reasons, says life is real for those who think it is real and unreal for those who think it is unreal. In fact, absurdity is a crux of real and unreal. We are unable to wholeheartedly distinguish whether life is real or unreal, thus it becomes absurd. 

Vedanta says further ‘mind is the hindrance’.  Mind acts like a mirror of what our inner self imagine. It reflects out our inner perceptions about life and tries to imprint meanings on external objects in accordance with our self-beliefs. If we are inwardly hypersensitive our externalities will be of hypersensitivity.  If we are emotional we will add that emotional element to every relationship we had and have. It means that our output is in tune with our inner voice. Mind is the origin of doers of all deeds. And as far as mind is active it will continue to fluctuate from real (truth) and unreal (imagination) making the life so called ‘absurdity’.   

Without mind who is living and who is dead? Say Masters.  

Uncertainties

The master says believe in your uncertainties, because the only certainty is that uncertainty.

Life is a flux, a duo flux of hope and despair. The hope becomes an apparent certainty when you will be presented with fortunes and then it turns into an apparent certainty of despair when you will be confronted with misfortunes. When despair arises the hope becomes uncertain. And when hope encircles you the despair vanishes into uncertainty.

Certainty is an ‘El Dorado’ in-between two uncertainties.  

The master is stressing the verb ‘believe’ rather than the uncertain noun ‘certainty’. Believing is the basis of the entire existence. Our lives proceed in beliefs of this fleeting world. We build the nest of stability on the tides of the oceanic time by squeezing the vigor of trust from the process of mental believes. Our beliefs give the strength of stability in this unstable world.

Believing in uncertainty means becoming realistic of what the entire phenomenon of life is all about.
