Unfolding of Truth
Is there an original source, a ground? A ground from which all this sprang: nature, man, the whole universe. Was it bound by time? Was it in itself complete order, and beyond which there is nothing more? Which is never touched by human thoughts or mind?
The ground must be timeless, there should not be anything beyond it.
The universe is in absolute order. The very word 'cosmos' means order. Nature is in order. Unless man interferes with it, nature has its own order. ( Man is also part of nature, is part of order of nature, but ‘man made mind’ has created disorder in every thing it has created).
We can have order in ourselves, by careful observation, self-study, self-investigation, and understand the nature of disorder, and the very understanding, the very insight of it dispels that disorder.
Fairly intelligent and knowledgeable and fairly cultured human beings, cultured in the sense civilized - he can, with a great deal of enquiry and investigation, come to the point when in himself he can bring order.
But because we live in chaos, to bring order, that's a tremendous affair but in itself it isn't. We are so bound to the past or to our habits and to our attitudes, we don't seem to have the energy, the courage, the vitality, to move out of it.
What will change all this, is to have this insight into all this. Insight is not from memory, not the movement of memory, not from past knowledge, not any spiritual experience, it is totally different from all that movement.
Being tied to a belief, to a person, to an idea, to some habit, some experience, which inevitably create disorder. Because being tied implies dependence, the escape from one's own loneliness, fear, and all that. Now to have total insight into this attachment, that very insight clears away all attachments. But our attachments are so strong, that we are unwilling to let go. And as long as there is the centre of Me which is the very essence of disorder, unless that is dissolved there is no order.
When the limited mind with all its consciousness and its content says, it's over now. Now is that mind which has been limited, and having had insight into this limitation, and therefore moved away from that limitation, is that an actuality, a something that is really tremendously revolutionary? You follow? And therefore it is no longer the human mind. Human mind with its consciousness, which is limited, that limited consciousness which is conditioned and not free. .
The individual mind is the outcome of the entire human consciousness. It's necessary to consider this humanity’s mind to be the actuality from which the individual mind has formed.
Can that mind, man-made mind as it is now, can it go to that extent, to so completely liberate itself from itself?
Religion, God, nationalism, science, worship, prayers, anxieties, sorrow, attachment, detachment, loneliness, suffering, confusion, ache and anxiety are all created by human mind and they have created disorder in human Society. Man has invented god and given him the power of the absolute then it dominates him.
When there is Insight and therefore order, the damage of the brain and mind is undone.
One can observe the consciousness of humanity is its own content. And its content is all the man-made things - Religion, God, Nationalism and all the rest of it. And it is not only individual mind, it is the general human mind. Having had an insight into this, it has cleansed itself of that. That insight means the wiping away of all the content of consciousness. Right? Not bit by bit by bit, the totality of it. And that insight is not the result of man's endeavor.
The consciousness is man-made, general and particular. And logically, reasonably one sees the limitations of it. When the mind goes much further then it comes to a point when it says, 'all this be wiped away at one breath, one blow, one movement.' And that movement is insight, the movement of insight. It is still in the mind. But not born out of that consciousness.
Having done all this, now is there a mind which is not man-made, man made mind cannot conceive, cannot create this mind, it is not an illusion, and now this mind is now much greater. So this mind, which is no longer general and particular, and therefore not limited, and this limitation has been broken down through insight, and therefore the mind is no longer that conditioned mind.
Now, is there such a mind, first. Of course there is. Of course, sir. Without being dogmatic or personal or all that business, there is. But be careful, it is not God.
The man-made mind is always in illusions, is seeking that Real Mind, and therefore it's creating more and more illusions, mischief, confusion. This man-made mind has no relationship to that real mind. Any attempt to get that mind is the source of illusion.
Only the man who is having an insight, can dissolve a ‘man made mind’, then it has the other Real Mind, but he can not influence another &man made minds’ !!!
