You plus God is majority.
How it is possible that we know this very well still there is fear in our life?
How it is possible that we know this very well still there is fear in our life?
In my opinion and it is based on my experience that whenever we feel fear, our mind is at work. So actually the fear exist in our mind!
It is tendency of our mind to fluctuate between two opposites ie positive and negative aspect of any thing.
Like past and future, good and bad and win and loose etc.
Fear exist because it fluctuates between powerful and weak in that moment. We find ourselves weak, the other as powerful so the fear exists to define both at same time.
Same is when we appear in or face any competition or such situations.
Now it is better to define God or no-God ie self of a person.
Many people believe that nature is God. This is nearest possible definition of God because it includes both theist and atheist as human being is also a most important part of nature.
Still it is not correct definition because we see things in nature around us keeps changing but still we think or take them as fixed. I used to stand below a mango tree to wait for my daily commute to office. So not only I am thinking that I am going to remain tomorrow but that tree will remain there too, when I promise someone to meet below it next day.
God is defined by sages as infinite, constant for eternity.
We know that nothing is constant but change. So this activity that keeps everything changing like flow of river is what God can be defined as. So God is constant as a change in daily life of everything. So all that is changing in whole infinite cosmos is God. So it becomes infinite too.
No one knows exactly when this existence started and no one knows when it is going to end, so this constantly changing infinite cosmos becomes eternal too.
Since it is present from eternity and going to remain in present for eternity too.
We are born as a human being on this planet Earth. Our lifespan in comparison to eternity is like that of soap bubble, as a child we all used to play with. It’s not bursting is celebrated, and birthday celebrations are similar to it. It’s bursting is treated as normal!!
Indian mystic Kabir said :
जैसे पानी का बुलबुला, ऐसी मनुष्य की जात।
देखते देखते ही बुझ जाए, ज्यों तारा प्रभात/परभात॥
Means: Just like the morning star or soap bubble human being’s life is same as compared to eternity.
Now the prominent question is:
How then God can accompany a human being? or how a person seek shelter or support of God, for becoming majority among living being?
Here it is important that God too wish to become majority and through human being only it is possible. God needs to correct course of life according to his plan whenever people goes astray.
Like Jesus went on in search of the sheep that went astray. and brought the sheep back carrying in his hands.
So definitely God needs human beings too, only to bring back peoples in a polite and caring way.
Now God seeking people and people seeking God but both are not meeting!
Why?
Because person uses mind and it keeps the person busy in duality or dichotomy, while God is always in present moment. People go on missing the present moment, God go on missing people.
Through awareness meditation practice during any act of life any person can learn to remain in no-mind state ie present moment.
Once we experience no-mind or no-thought state then we need to apply it in different acts so that after some time it becomes undercurrent during all the acts. One fine day it may happens that while we are practicing meditation, specially awareness meditation, and we attain thoughtless moment then we also attain egoless state simultaneously.
In that state we are able to actually see or feel our ‘self’ or ‘soul’ or ‘God’ or consciousness etc etc.
Once we have seen it or felt it then we are not the same person as before, because we have experienced a glimpse of the infinite, constant and eternal. Eastern mystics like Buddha called it Emptiness or Existence or Lao Tzu of China call it as Tao etc.
In that moment we have experienced timelessness within the framework of time, which in itself is a miracle. Jesus Call it as passing of a Camel from the hole of a needle ie your eyes centre. It happens on its own only and any effort on our side is just useless so I call it as other name is God’s grace.
After this experience we are able to remain in present moment as per our choice of time, place and person.
So when you feel fear, just remain in present moment and stop your mind or invoke meditative state, and now God is with you. He was looking for someone who is in present moment, and he found you and now just leave yourself and let God act through you.
You may feel later on that what you did is simply impossible for you, but actually it is true. God functioned through you and this way you he can make anything possible for you. Call it miracle, but it happens only if you are able to receive God’s grace.
Only in your hand is practice of meditation and leave yourself in his hands, with trust. It is still happening and this planet never remained empty from such people.
