Today's Considerations
14. So what were You like in that Original Natural State (staying conscious of the fact that "You" refers only to a totally non-personal, prior-to-manifestation quantity of energy)? And why would you / You want to abide as that / That now?
To understand what You (that totally non-personal, prior-to-manifestation quantity of energy) were like when existing as Your Original Nature is to understand what You can also be like right now if abiding as Your Original Nature.
Maharaj made clear that "it is enough to know who (what) you are not." To that end, in the eBook below entitled Your Original Nature, this is shared:
"You were uncontaminated, unconditional, unqualified, unlimited, 'pure,' unadulterated and unambiguous. You were un-programmed, un-conditional, un-acculturated, un-domesticated, not brainwashed, and not indoctrinated. In That Original State, You were not vulnerable to mental illnesses, personality disorders, a host of neuroses and psychoses because, again, there are neither bodies nor minds nor personalities in That State.
"Thus, as Your Original Nature, You were also silent, identity-less, impersonal, non-dual, and unknowing. You were devoid of any sense of individuality or individualism, and You were free of any sense of uniqueness, distinctiveness, arrogance, vanity, self-ness, or self-ish-ness; You were free of role-assignments and role assumption and role-playing.
"You were free of ego and egotism and free of self-concern, self-absorption, self-indulgence, self-interest, and self-seeking. You were free of materialism, eccentricity, prejudice, and what Maharaj referred to as "crudeness, unreasonableness, unkindness, and altogether childishness."
"You were concept-less, belief-less, and idea-less. You were desire-less and fearless. You were role-less, character-less, image-less, and persona-less. You were devoid of ego-supporting 'meaning' and ego-supporting 'purpose' and free of the drive to search for either; You were agenda-less, so You were only being . . . not doing.
"Because you were need-less, You therefore did not need either 'acceptance' or 'being saved' or 'being rescued' or 'being admired' or 'being affirmed,' and You did not need the 'false version of love' which is being sought for - and settled for - by the masses all around the globe.
"You did not need applause or awards or recognition or praise or fame or approval or support; You did not seek isolation or analysis or receipt of anything which some arrogant and spoiled persons think that they are entitled to. You did not need accumulations, so You did not accumulate people to pleasure you and to serve you; additionally, You accumulated neither more and more places nor more and more things.
"You needed no means by which you could mentally and emotionally and physically escape or avoid, and you did not need to try to control. You were fully and totally independent and thus completely free of dependence and co-dependence. You were position-less, attitude-less, affiliation-less, knowledge-less, mind-less, philosophy-less, religion-less, spirituality-less, judgment-less, knowledge-less, aspect-less, notion-less, and concept-less.
You were un-birth-able (and, therefore, non-re-birth-able); You were un-resurrection-less and un-die-able; You were urge-less, impulse-less, impression-less, un-driven, uninfluenced, and un-influential. You were natural, not unnatural; moreover, You were neither supernatural nor Supernatural nor 'pre-existing.'
To be continued.
Please enter the silence of contemplation.
