NEEDLESS WORK and COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE ACCEPTANCE and THE CURSE OF HABITS
Defining Nisarga Yoga
At
the simplest level, one may take “nisarga” to mean “natural.” As used most
frequently, the term refers to the yoga of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj which
advocates “natural living” or abidance as the natural state.
The Natural Disposition
Every form or space on the planet has an innate disposition. That natural,
inherent, instinctive disposition is simple and uncomplicated, allowing for a
relative existence that is undemanding, plain, minimalistic, unadorned, bare
and fairly effortless at its core.
Be the reference to a rock or a flower or a bird or a tree or a fish or a deer,
all among those happens spontaneously without thought, the result of a simple,
no-mind, no-concept, no-belief, natural manner of functioning; too, that
happens planet-wide without any exceptions, except for one exception.
When the Natural Disposition Became Skewed
The exception: the space or form called “humans.” As the brain increased over
the millennia from a size that would fill one coffee cup to a size that would
fill three-and-a-half coffee cups, a “mind” evolved; that is, the ability to
store and retrieve data developed.
What actually came about were sections of the brain which work in combination
to provide the capability to store information and to retrieve information, a
process that happened spontaneously and naturally in order to perpetuate the
species - such longing for perpetuation being “natural” once consciousness
manifests.
(You do not have to train a bird to fly away from a human walking noisily
through a forest. The consciousness automatically and spontaneously drives that
behavior, and there is no mind - and thus no thought - involved in the movement
of the bird. It is natural. The bird knows the I AM, even in the absence of
language which allows the "thought" I AM to happen.)
How Ignorance-Based, Language-Borne Lies Began Spreading the Ultimate Sickness Across the Globe
Focus not on “pandemics.” They affect few, comparatively speaking. If seekers
would be well and free, they are invited via the Nisarga Yoga to focus on the
Ultimate Sickness which is infecting and affecting 97% or more of the persons
on the planet.
It is a sickness which prevents a seeing of the unicity and which drives
misperceived thoughts about separation and division and disharmony and
better-than-ment, eliminating any chance for the "peace on earth" dream
/ wish that some persons call for annually.
Contrary to popular belief, everything in this universe evolved from one,
single atom. There is a unity beyond the multiplicity; however, once language
developed, humans began perpetuating dualistic beliefs that reinforced a false
sense of separation.
They dreamed up the false concept of “time” and divided what is a continuous
stream of happenings into groups and subgroups: millennia, centuries, decades,
years, months, days, minutes, seconds, etc. Then they began telling lies that
they thought to be truth.
The result is this: what had been a simple, uncomplicated, undemanding, plain,
minimalistic, unadorned, bare and fairly effortless natural existence took on
the character of being complex, complicated, demanding, elaborate, conspicuous,
adorned, embellished, strenuous, unnatural and / or supernatural. Why?
Because that always happens when persons / personas are erroneously assumed to be real identities; thus, persons / personas live a lie when the their existence is based in erroneous beliefs.
How the Desire To Be Supernatural and To Live Supernaturally Has Almost Eliminated Natural Living Altogether
Few
persons on the planet now live naturally. Unnatural and supernatural living
have become the abnormal norm. While a relative existence that is marked by
that which is complex, complicated, demanding, elaborate, conspicuous, adorned,
embellished, and strenuous is unnatural, it is nevertheless sought by the
masses. Why?
Magical, superstition-and-myth-based, mind-inspired, egocentric thinking has
generated concepts about a god or gods, resulting in complicated efforts among
most humans to try to live supernaturally rather than naturally.
More and more, it is lies (rooted in ignorance and misunderstanding) that have
become widely-accepted as truth, such as this belief that humans once held on a
near-global basis:
“There are powerful beings in other worlds that cause thunder” and “those
powers use thunder for ‘good’ and ‘bad’ depending on the days of the
week":
“If there is thunder on Sunday, wise men will die; if there is thunder on a
Monday, it signals the death of many women; If there is thunder on Tuesday, it
is a sign that there will be plenty of grain; if it thunders on Wednesday, then
many prostitutes will die;
“if there is thunder on a Thursday, it is a sign that there will be plenty of
sheep and corn; if it thunders on Friday, some great man or noble leader will
die and that will trigger additional murders; if it thunders on a Saturday; it
is a warning that a plague is coming and it will cause widespread death.”
An extreme example? No more extreme than believing that if you die killing
Christians, you’ll be blessed with multiple virgins, prostitutes and wives in an
afterlife paradise; no more extreme than believing that if you kill Muslims in foreign
lands, you are a patriot; and no more extreme than believing that all Jews
should be exterminated.
No more extreme than a preoccupation with blood, believing it has magical power
if spread above a doorway; believing that it is "good" to beat yourself
about the head and back with spikes and to walk through the streets in a holy
parade of blood;
no more extreme than believing you will be in closer, conscious contact with a supreme power in another world if you
drink blood in weekly or monthly services conducted in supposedly
"holy" buildings;
no more extreme than believing that you should kill all persons who do believe
in your concepts.
All of that is most unnatural, but all of that is believed in by (and is
therefore driving the behavior of) billions of persons on the planet.
The Nisarga Yoga invites persons to abide as all other "non-human forms / spaces" on the planet, not in that supernatural fashion illustrated above but in a natural manner, free of belief in unnatural and supernatural concepts that drive such insane behavior.
The Ultimate Sickness, Mental Disorders, and Personality Disorders Have Spread Around the Globe
Yet few will ever find the Nisarga Yoga, much less full realization; therefore,
such mental sickness as discussed above now dominates persons (the so-called “non-realized”
humans) all around the globe.
The most nonsensical concepts imaginable have been dreamed up by controlling
men and women and have been shared as “The Truth” or “The Secret” or “The
Purpose” or “The Way” or “The Will of the Universe” or "The Sacred
Contract" or "The Holy This or That" or as “God’s Infallible
Word.”
The result is that natural abidance - which is still common among all that is
manifest except “humans” - now happens infrequently among the vast majority of
persons. The now-common mental sickness among persons is spread via the virus
of ignorance. The Nisarga Yoga is the vessel which carries the Ultimate
Medicine that can treat the sickness.
It is the yoga which can guide seekers along a “path” to being restored to
reason and logic and wisdom as a result of being free of belief in false
concepts, ideologies, myths, and superstitions.
It is the yoga which can result in an understanding of the functioning of the
totality. It is a yoga that can make clear the difference in humanity’s quest
for what is “false love” and can guide seekers to an understanding of the
Oneness (and, thus, what True Love is).
It is the yoga which can eliminate supernatural efforts to live in an unnatural
manner and can return persons (all of whom have been programmed and conditioned
and acculturated and domesticated) to a condition of abidance in the style of
their original nature;
it is a yoga which can guide seekers to a manner of functioning by which all
that happens will happens naturally and spontaneously; and it is a yoga that
will reveal a fashion of abidance which allows the seekers who complete all of
the steps on the “path” to realization to be, once again, in touch with their
innate and inherent and instinctive disposition.
To be continued.
Please enter into the silence of contemplation.
