JUST WATCH
A Journey from Seeking to Being, from Chaos to Inner Stillness
![](\"https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/0*-92UNxE6iNXeVYkg\")
Life is unfair. Because you are not fair to life.
We assume that things will go according to our whims and fancies.
We plan way ahead of our time.
School — College — Job — Marriage — Children — Retirement.
You can elaborate as much as you want. However, this structure remains the same for 99% of the population.
We spend most of our waking life in the idea of living a life.
And in sleep, dream and fantasise life.
The thought that life can be more than what you think it is has always been discounted.
We are longing for milestones and achievements.
In reality, we are longing for reality itself.
It feels like there should be more to this life. And that “more” always seems like something external. Materialistic.
Is this search really about your place in the world?
Or is it about the world within yourself?
What offers quality of life? Why does it matter?
When you become aware and turn the awareness around, a new possibility of exploring the aspects of life opens up.
Not oriented from the external circumstances and withdrawn from the outer world.
A quest to inspect the universe of being and being of universe.
The universal truth.
Knowledge which transcends the boundaries of knowing.
To find it is to find the universal truth and become one with it.
What we all want is to be one with ourselves.
Contentment.
The quarrels, the fights and the war outside become peace and oneness when you peep inside.
Because life is not a threat. It’s an opportunity to find equilibrium.
What is moving outside is balanced within you.
Keep your attention within you.
It is not about what you want from life but everything about what life is.
Already.
Life is a series of unexpected events.
You cry as much as you like. And laugh the moment later.
It is the ego mind that compels you to find a pattern in this formality of occurrence.
It is the ego that needs a ladder to climb on and a number to add to your age and your bank balance.
Ego.
Which is part of you, but it seems like it is you.
You are not what you think you are. You are what you are.
Without any labels or any verbs and adjectives, you are what you are.
And it matters because you are aware of your being.
And it is the only thing that matters.
You are not the ship that is trying to steer through the storm of emotions on the surface.
You are the ocean.
You think you are the ship because your attention is on the ship.
Turn your attention around and attain to self.
The thousands of thoughts that you have are the thousands of opportunities to recognise the quality of your being.
The limpid, pristine, vast emptiness that lies between them is the window.
Pure.
There are several ways you can find the way back home.
There is an immense opportunity to connect with your stream of consciousness when you are aware.
Just watch.
The thoughts passing by. One after another.
Soon, you will find the gap and then the source of the thoughts.
The source of thoughts is the source of everything in existence.
The energy that creates the thought has created the world.
Thought sparks ideas, and ideas lead to inventions and innovations.
Let’s not manufacture the ideas in the ego mind when you have an unlimited supply of energy from the divine within.
Anything that is not exercised is lost. The ego will be lost, too.
And you will face the world gazing inward.
Towards the source which is creating the emanated apparition of the world.
Illusion.
Once you know that the world is an illusion, you have to know the source of the movement in life.
Stillness.
Life is not a travel, it is a journey.
There will be surprises, no matter how perfect the Itinerary is.
Finding the destination is not a miracle. It’s fate.
Finding yourself is the greatest discovery of life.
Finding yourself, you find peace where you are.
Finding yourself is to be yourself.
Accept yourself as you are, and you will no longer feel a need to prove anything to yourself and others.
Life is very simple until we make it complicated.
Don’t be so hard on yourself.
Enjoy!
Looking at life feels like looking at yourself.
For the first time. New.
The immaturity of life being fair and unfair is lost.
Life is as it is. It’s neither fair nor unfair.
The intention to find a purpose behind things makes you happy and unhappy.
Just experience with detachment and life is a celebration.
There is drama in every walk of life.
Every corner of it is filled with life.
There is sorrow, there is happiness, and there is every possible emotion.
Beyond comprehension.
Let it be. Innocent.
Shred the conditioning. You have been preparing for rain and the sun for all your life.
Drop it. And be prepared to accept yourself.
There is nothing to defend. There is nothing to offend.
No guilt, no sorrow.
Only being. Without the idea of living.
What is going to happen is going to happen. Regardless of how you feel about it.
Your parents are going to die. You are going to die.
Between birth and death, the only thing you can be certain about is uncertainty.
It is a very familiar way of life.
The only difference is that we have been denying to look at it. Blinded by the light of assumptions, presumptions about self and others.
In the pursuit of knowledge, we forget the practicalities and rationalities of life.
We read that life is lived well if lived in a certain way and spend all of to fit into the gathered knowledge of life.
You are destined to live in uncertainty, and expecting otherwise is stupidity.
We are irrational beings, and I don’t expect anybody to be predictable.
It’s a challenge we all have to accept.
So, let the waves of uncertainty follow their nature.
You stay aligned with your true nature.
Life will happen on its own accord. Enjoy the change by accepting it as it comes.
Celebrate.
The only change required is to turn the light inside.
This is the greatest refuge.
This is where you find comfort in your own company.
The nature of participation changes.
The alertness perceived towards the uncertainty converts to the awareness of being a witness.
