Walk without the walker

"When we walk, there is no walker, only the walk." This was quoted by Gautam Buddha, and appears most illogical and paradoxical statement to human mind.
But it is only the human mind which creates this fallacy of being. This truth can be realized by not sensing through mind. Please note, that the truth cannot be understood, since understanding is again done through mind. But the mind is the one, which creates the fallacy, so the truth cant be understood, it can only be realized.

The world is an eternal flow of consciousness. The human memory creates the fallacy of being. The world does not exists in past, neither it exists in future. It only exists in the current moment, which is a snapshot. And in a snapshot, there cannot be the walker, only the walk remains. Human mind lives on memory, feeds on memory, memory is a series of events (recorded events), our ego feeds on this recording of events. In a snapshot, there can be no ego, no self, two persons cannot be distinguished. In fact, there is nothing to be distinguished. Distinguishment is a real consequence of the fallacy created by human memory.

Again, I would stress upon the fact that this article cannot be understood, can only be realized. And can be realized by various means of meditations (bringing the mind to a still), where there is no memory, no future, no past, no mind, only the truth remains.
The realization of oneness with the universe.

Divinity: My views

Divinity does not lie in the act of loving everybody and not having any harsh feelings for anybody. Indeed it is very much a human nature (to love or to hate).

Ability to forgive everyone and love everyone can never be divinity, since the very fact is that only those forgive who have their ego(self).

Divinity lies far above the normal human nature of loving/hating/forgiving/regretting etc.

For me, the very fact that God cannot be seen, he cannot be felt, he does not has a name, he has no identity and has no shape makes his existence meaningful. Someone, who sees everything with undistorted perception, without interfering with his own thoughts and his identity/ego.

All of us suffer distorted consciousness. Whatever we see, whatever we surmise, whatever we judge, we do it in reference to our own ego, in reference to our own identity. Distorted consciousness cannot lead to the truth.

To see without being effected by one's own identity, own ego, own perception is divinity.

We can only see from the constraints that are bound with our human nature. Our senses, limitation to only see what our eyes allow. Limitation to only feel and hear what out senses provide.

Divinity is to see and feel without being bound by the human senses. Which one can do only when he realizes he is far more than the human body. He is the whole universe.

Most of the people who have been able to achieve this situation (nirvana) are called mad, unrealistic and insane.
Satori experiences takes one to eternity. Now he cannot be destroyed. Nothing can be taken away from him. The state leads to supreme peace and beatitude.

To realize that the nature of anything is substantially emptiness or nothingness is divinity.

Who do you believe?

If somebody says 'You must live your life humbly, without hurting anybody's emotions, earn a lot of money, live for others, donate the money you have earned with the efforts of your whole life and contribute to the society' sounds good??
And do you consider somebody is bad when he is egomaniac, self centric, lives for just himself, or abstain from social responsibilities?
What we believe, what we think, we make decisions about people.. our mind makes us believe that whatever we think or feel is the divine message of the holy GOD and has to be perfect. Our belief , our thinking is always the best. Nobody feels the way we do. ''Nobody is as good as me''. We judge the world with our eyes, without ever questioning our own formation.
How can anybody be wrong if you cannot see him with his perspective?? You say someone is wrong with your own senses, senses which are made up of your history, your culture, how you have grown up, what u have seen in your life.
Wish to judge a criminal who is going to be hanged ? You might had been at his place if you had lived in his shoes.

We feel proud after have studied so much, earning a good salary, running a big company pulling a lot of money. Considering what all the life has given us.. we look down at people who have not been able to earn much egoism.
Yes egoism is what we derive from knowledge/power/money. Although it can be easily contradicted by saying that the statement is easy said by someone who has not been able to do much in his life.
But how can somebody be ever right if he only can judge with his own perspective?
The answer to this question is simple... Nothing in the world is right or wrong... good or bad.. Everything only depends on the perspective you are looking from.

As my friend Ashoka says.. 'live humbly, there are good people around us'
I would go a step further and say.. 'never go on judging anyone, because if you can't be him, you can never correctly judge him. Everyone is right in his own ways'.

Let's think of a day...

Let's think of a day.. a sunrise a morning..

Where the nuances of sun rays fall on everybody equally..
Where we can clearly see the sky.. where dreams have no limits
to fly, to bring happiness and warmth to everybody.

Where money has no meanings... neither do ornaments nor any palace..
Neither any other material that we have created ourself.

Where everyone has a heart of love, where everyone has an eye of hope..
to see the other happy.. to share smiles.. to laugh..

Where heart is the home... where the world can stay.
Where we don't have to fight with the other, to get my share of play.

Let's dream of such a day, where we don't have to speak..
where words are not worth speaking... where hearts can talk.


Let's dream of such a day..
