When we see someone talking out loud to themselves they may seem slightly crazy. But most of us spend a lot of time talking to ourselves. The only difference is that we’re self-conscious enough to do it silently. The question is, who’s talking, who’s listening and which one is the real you? One carries on a running narration judging, critiquing and comparing everything it encounters, as it tries to create and strengthen its identity. The other one is an appreciating witness who allows and accepts all it sees. That’s…
The real you.

…so profound and deep.
Until the annihilation of ego takes place within me ,I realise,these insights will not sink deeper than the Intellect.as long as I stay as an intellect I deprive myself of the tremendous blissfullness of these experiences.only when these become a part of my being ,a transformation can takes place.
Thank you

..i am trying to.
But if it is so,nobody will have any purpose to fulfil.and seen un that light no life will be wasted.but is that the present state mam?
How many lives are being wasted by those idlers?
The insight is so unburdening mam.its true.but on the other hand I fear a vegetative life that lacks goals thrill exuberance and dynamism .
If there is nothing to achieve nowhere to reach why should we live?just to have a biological continuum?what should we do with the rest if our lives after we come to this realisation?
This is my ignorance speaking.i am sorry to again and again poking questions on the same topic.
Love

Thanks mam
The mind wants to have an explanation, but it cannot understand until it has the experience. It can’t have the experience until it really and truly sinks into this way of being. Who says the goal of life is to do, make, and accomplish? Society says so, because they’re scared .They don’t trust. They are worried that people will be idle freeloaders.
Just as the stars are only a very small portion of the space you see in the night sky, doing, creating, getting, accomplishing are just relatively minor phenomena in the context of awareness. It might be true that in this world we live in, there is a need to play this game to take care of basic needs. Or, maybe you can find out by deeply trusting in the Universe or the Divine, that you don’t have to struggle, that you’re already taken care of, that being in flow means not fighting to get more. Even if you decide to play the game, just be honest with yourself that it is a very small part of the total reality that you, as a human, have the potential to experience. Doing and getting makes stars, but you are the ENTIRE UNIVERSE.
Dear mam
As you said life is a purposeless play.that there is nothing to achieve nowhere to reach.you are already that you are in pursuit of.
But in order to understand it experientially rather than intellectually you need to travel some distance no?you need to do some striving no?you need to have a goal and a pursuit no?only after such a journey will you be able to realise the insight you said above?
Kindly throw some light

Hi Sarath,
Try to hold these ideas. Look at your life and try to find the truth of it for you. Can you find it?
Really well put, this wonderful little dichotomy!
Love, Larry
