The Truth About Imagination…
Imagination can take you way away from the truth. And this is always the case for hardcore spiritual seekers. They imagine the truth, and never attain. Again and again ( life after life ), they end up making the same mistake…imagining something that cannot be imagined.
Imagination is of the mind, its a mind game. You can imagine anything, but the truth has to be known. Imagination becomes a great barrier. But all seekers have to go thru it, it’s a learning process. Any idea whatsoever has to be dropped, only then the cup is empty…only then the universe can pour into ‘you’. Then ‘you’ will not be ‘you’ anymore…
Shiva beautifully gives one technique…” imagine the biggest you can, and keep imagining until you can’t imagine anymore “ …as this happens, the mind slowly tires and it drops. Only then, there is possibility…possibility of knowing the unknown which is known but made unknown. The more of the mind, the less of you. Mind is not an enemy, it’s a tool, treat it such, but transcendence is required. In today’s society, the mind is very complex. Hence, based on the personality of the person, techniques are prescribed by awakened ones.
For seekers, remember, until one is empty of all dogma, one cannot attain. The mind is cunning, a very cunning mechanism…don’t bother. Just be an observer, be silent…and taste truth. Truth Rocks !
