Harilal Kerson Chavda lived for 97 years. His sole aim was to live 100 years. We all wish his thoughts be expressed through this blog for many centuries to come! - Chavda & Mehta Family.Saloni Chavdahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11274818085027027727noreply@blogger.comBlogger76125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8267674796372592806.post-71637620825378057832012-10-06T19:21:00.000+05:302012-10-06T19:21:53.059+05:30Be Still, Simply Still<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A thousand secrets are hidden in simply sitting still. A person who has once learnt to collect himself completely in his sitting will never again let a day pass without practicing for atleast half an hour for it is this which gives complete inner removal, especially when he has learned to concentrate exclusively on the sitting, emptied of all thoughts and images.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
One can only have humility when there is nothing of the past, and the mind is in a state of constantly learning without accumulating. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- J. Krishnamurti</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is only the vain person, the man of pride and conceit, who cultivates the cloak of humanity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Humility can only exist when the past, which is thought with all its structure, comes to an end.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What is necessary is a mind that is capable of listening and not doing anything.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Be aware of your own values, thoughts, life existence, so that you yourself will discover the importance or unimportance of pleasure. We must understand pleasure. It is extremely subtle. The sensory pleasures are obvious, but there are deeper pleasures to which thoguht has given vitality, continuity, a drive. If you do not understand of this basic thing, entering into a field which is completely denuded of all pleasure, and therefore a field of extraordinary bliss, cannot possibly be understood.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The thought goes back over and over again to a happy incident, a pleasurable sensation, a thing remembered that has given great delight. Thought reverts it and builds a structure of expanding and strengthening pleasure. From that background, conscious and unconscious, thought then operates, judges, evaluates, looks and acts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
THought is the outcome of desire. Our whole life is made up of desire, the pleasure that is derived from putting that desire into action, and the sustaining of pleasure by thinking about the action which has given pleasure. Thought gives vitality and continuity to pleasure.</div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">If I am confused, the things I do, whatever thoughts, whatever feelings I have, are all bound to be confused. The idea taht there are moments when I am very clear is fallacious. I am confused right through, if I observe, if I go into it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Fragmentary activity is not an indication of seriousness, because it contradicts the other part of existence. A serious person is one who does not function or think in fragments. It is possible to be totally attentive to the whole existence of life, not just fragments, but the totality of it? If one is so serious, then there is contradiction. It is the person who is not serious who lives without contradiction.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Thought produces a way of life which is based on its own pleasure.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The highest form of sensitivity is intelligence.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">There is a difference between acceptance and discovery. When we discover something for ourselves, it has validity. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Time is obviously thought. Thought is the result of time.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The relationship between an employer and employee is permeated by the same spirit of indifference. The word 'employer' contains the whole story; the owner of capital employs another human being as he "employs" a machine. They both use each other for the pursuit of their economic interests. Their relationship is one in which both are means to an end, both are instrumental to each other. It is not a relationship of two human beings who have only interest in the other outside of this mutual usefulness.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">You want to be famous, because inside yourself you are no body. If you are inwardly rich, then it does not matter to you whether you are known or unknown. To be inwardly rich is much more arduous than to be outwardly rich and famous. To be inwardly rich int he mind has to understand and put away things that are not important, like wanting to be famous.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Inward richness implies standing alone, but the man who wants to be famous is afraid to stand alone because he depends on people's flattery and good opinion.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"When you are truly changed, everything around you will also be changed." Said The Mother, in Aurobindo Ashram. Saint Mirabai has also mentioned the same thing. Referring to her spiritual transformation she sang, "Ulat bhayi more nayananki" - Everything now appears altogether different to my eyes."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Aurobindo says: "If the power to think is a remarkable gift, the power not to think is even more so. There is nothing mind can do that cannot be better done in the mind's immobility and thought-free stillness."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">When our mind comes out of its phantasies and hankerings by being consciously aware of them, it becomes silent.</span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">"Know Thyself" - Inscription in the Temple of Delphi - Greece</span></i></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The inscription "Know Thyself" in the ancient Temple of Delphi of Greece is a precept applicable to all spiritual aspirants to whichever religion they belong. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">See what Kathopanishad says about this :-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> "The openings of the mind viz. the sense organs are directed outwards. Therefore do men's thoughts ever tend outwards. But the few who have true understanding turn their mind inwards and realize the Self within."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Kathopanishad also says :-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> "The Atman cannot be studied in classes or by intellect or by hearing hundreds of lectures."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Here is what a modern spiritual teacher, J.Krishnamurti, says:-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> "The control of the mind is not important. What is important is to find out the interests of the mind."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So, once we turn inwards, what 'interests of the mind' do we usually find?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> Beware! Your clinging to ego is</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> greater than yourself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> Pay heed! Your emotions are</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> stronger than yourself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> Your vicious will is far wickeder</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> than yourself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> Your habitual thought is</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> more characteristic than yourself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> Your ceaseless mental activity</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> is more frantic than yourself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> - Milarepa</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Thus the Tibetan yogi, Milarepa sums up what 'Know Thyself' stands for. However, this self-observation is to be done only as a witness without using will power to suppress unpleasant thoughts. In other words, it is awareness that is important. According to J. Krishnamurti awareness is the critical point of transformation. Such conscious uncritical observation is very important in sadhana. It destroys our self complacency and our picture about ourself.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; text-align: justify;">Besides J. Krishnamurti, both Sri Aurobindo, and Gurdjieff have also emphasized on such awareness as a key point in one's spiritual development. Here is what they say :-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> "Evolution does not lie in becoming more and more saintly or more and more intelligent but more and more conscious. For everything, always is a question of consciousness, for our mental, vital and physical life as for our sleep and our death and our immortality. Consciousness is the means, consciousness is the key, consciousness is the end."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> - Sri Aurobindo</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> "The evolution of man is the evolution of his consciousness, and consciousness cannot evolve unconsciously."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> - Gurdjieff</span><br />
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The fact that my own existence, as I exist at this second, is so marvelous, so miracle-like, strange, and supernatural to me, that I unhesitatingly conclude I am always on the margin of life illimitable, and that there are higher conditions of existence. Everything around is supernatural; everything is so full of unexplained meaning.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Written tradition, systems of culture, modes of thought, have for me no existence. From earth and sea and sun, from night, the stars, from day, the trees, the hills, from my own soul - from these I think. My naked mind confronts the unknown. I see not only the existence of the soul, immortality, but, in addition, I realise a soul-life illimitable. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The air, the sunlight, the night, all that surrounds me seems crowded with inexpressible powers, with the influence of souls or existences, so that I walk in the midst of immortal things. I myself am a living witness to it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I find "I" am there; an "I" I do not wholly understand, or know - something is there distinct from earth and timber, from flesh and bone. Recognising it, I feel on the margin of a life unknown, very near, almost touching it: on the verge of powers which if I could grasp would give me an immense breadth of existence, an ability to execute what I now only concieve; most probably of far more than that. To see that "I" is to know that I am surrounded with immortal things.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">There is an immense ocean over which the mind can sail, upon which the vessel of thought has not yet been launched. There is so much beyond all that has ever yet been imagined.</span></div>

No matter how majestic the planet rolls in space, unless a soul be there it is dead.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Self-knowledge is the thing, for the totality, the whole treasure of life lies within yourself. Self-knowledge is to perceive your own mind. It is to learn about cravings or desires, your urges and pursuits, the hidden as well as the open. There is no learning where there is the accumulation of knowledge. With self-knowledge the mind is free to be still - Only then is there coming into being.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0sCNtZJnUQk/UAWtXlY9bdI/AAAAAAAABM4/Hw-ZghIdBYM/s1600/QuietMind.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0sCNtZJnUQk/UAWtXlY9bdI/AAAAAAAABM4/Hw-ZghIdBYM/s400/QuietMind.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">When the mind is quiet, the body becomes quiet, not the other way round.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">A mind that is dull can sit for centuries breathing, concentrating on chakras and kundalini - it can never come upon that which is timeless, that which is real beauty, truth and love. Before this, siddhis, chakras etc are candlelight before the sun.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So put aside the candlelight which all the gurus and books offer you. And do not repeat a word that you yourself have not seen the truth of, which you yourself have not tested.</span></div>

And you know what happens to you, you are terribly awake! You are watching everything, your nerves, your eyes, your ears, are listening to every movement. And that is the way to live with yourself - without going mad.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The content of my consciousness is my unhappiness, my misery, my struggles, my sorrows, the frustrations, the pleasures, fears, the agonies, the hatreds - that is my consciousness. Can all that be completely emptied? Not only at the superficial level but right through - the so called unconscious. If it is not possible, then I must live in unending sorrow. I am in prison. So the mind must find out how to empty itself of all the content of itself. This is real meditation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">When there is love there is no image. There must be relationship between the emptying of consciousness and the thing called love - between the unknown and the known, which is the content of consciousness.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So the mind must find out, how to empty its content, that is have no image - past, present or in future you hurt me or you give me pleasure and therefore I have an image of you. So no image formation. If you don't form an image now, the past images have no place.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I dont depend on anybody to find out what is true and what is false.</span></div>
