Seeking the source of the whole
Seeking the source of you, seeking the source of the whole, and seeking what happens after death is the essence of life.
Contemplating on these thought currents, will help develop a strong nervous system that suddenly the fear about death will disappear. The mysteries of death will be revealed in front of you.
You will simply know the whole thing, and you will be ready and will be experientially liberated from the fear of death, and any powerlessness related to death. Your whole being will become powerful and see through death.
Each of the thought current is experiential. It is like a cooking. First add rice, then put a little salt, then put a little turmeric, then put a little tamarind juice.
In the same way your pure analysis step by step is adding each ingredient to the rice. So by the time you finish you are the best turmeric rice or tamarind rice. Even you will celebrate your existence.
Contemplation on these thought currents can guide you through all your powerlessness with that thought current. For example, if you have so much powerlessness about death: questions, unknown, mystery, pain, and unknown fear, contemplating on death is enough!
If you just catch the thought current, you can just go through the whole powerlessness, win over the whole thing. It can just sail you through all the powerlessness and help you reach the shore of powerfulness, and liberate you once for all!
I never feel I am not capable when I start any project, anything! This Golden temple that I wanted to build in Bidadi, casually I said one day, 'Come on! Let's make a golden temple for Shiva.'
I read a book, where Rajaraja Chola made a whole Tanjore temple covered with gold, because of his Guru Gurumaha Sannidhanam of Tondai Aadheenam word.
There is a document in Tondai Mandal Aadheenam that Sannidhanam chose a girl who will be the Queen and whose son will be the successor. So, he did all the marriage and rituals, and he ordered Rajaraja, 'You make a temple and cover it with gold.'
So Rajaraja made the temple, and invited Sannidhanam to come and do all the rituals. Sannidhanam went and did everything that needed to be done, and then after that Sannidhanam gave a command, 'Please, cover it with gold.' Then Rajaraja Cholan accepted his command and did the same thing. Covered the whole temple with gold.
So when I read the story I felt, 'Oh God, what happened to that whole gold now? Now only the stone temple is there?'
But there is solid evidence that the whole temple was covered with gold, because when the gold sheets were drilled, the holes are there, completely throughout the temple, throughout the tower. Thick gold sheet, being drilled. Throughout the tower the marks are there.
So, we have enough evidence, once there was Golden temple for Mahadeva. Now it may not be there. I said, 'Alright. Let's make one Golden temple for Mahadeva with His grace.' I only started this project casually. I never feel something is not possible, when I started this project.
The thought currents which are generated in you, experientially liberate you! Sit with this context and understand and contemplate on the above thought currents.
> Let the seeking happen in you.
Seeking: Come back to The basics
The source of seeking.
Your very bio-memory vibrates, your very bio -memory actively functions, only with some of the basic questions about life. What is pleasure, how can I have more? What is pain, how can I avoid that? What is life? Is this understandings going to help me? What is joy? All these basic truths and basic understandings, how can I experience them?
These basic questions about life only continues to make you function and act.
For these basic questions, if you have better and better answers and click with the better answers, this is called maturity. Naturally, the answer your friend gives when you were five years old will be different to what your mother gives when you are six years. What answers your father gives you when you are fourteen will also be different.
Finally when you reach your Guru, the answer He gives will be different. So clicking with better and better answers is maturity. Ultimately, clicking with your own answer and experience, and the questions disappearing once for all is Enlightenment.
Seeking is nothing but coming back to the basics. Seeking is nothing but taking up a life without vacation!
Vacation is nothing but the questions you don't want to face pushing you to live the life you are not living. The questions you pushed under the carpet are jumping from below the carpet, and sometime it even bites the wrong place. That is what is the nagging you feel for the need of vacation.
If you are living in a space, the very idea of a vacation disappears, you have clearly ironed out your life. You don't need to stand anywhere waiting for something. Vacation, what is vacation? Just waiting to get out of a life you are living, go somewhere and expect you will get something.
If you think you have to go somewhere, and stand for some joy, something to happen to you, you are just pushing all your basic questions under the carpet. Catching and understanding life where boredom becomes meaningless and vacation becomes meaningless. Where life itself becomes vacation. You are doing continuously something which you are enjoying, cherishing, and feeling blessed constantly.
So come back to the basic questions, that is what I call seeking. Do not hide and escape with the answers with which you have not clicked.
The answers which has not become your bio-memory and cognitive shift. Don't try to use those answers to attack others or hide yourself or lie to yourself.
Any answer you give or receive should have become your bio-memory and clicked with you and become your cognition.
Come back to the basic questions. Make seeking and the matured answers as part of your cognition.
