UNCONSCIOUSESS COMES FOR FREE BUT CONSCIOUSNESS NEEDS TO BE EARNED

Please know that, unconsciousness and not consciousness is our birthright, because unconsciousness is given to us, by the nature, with the birth itself. So, unconsciousness comes to us, for free but consciousness has to be earned. For consciousness, you need to strive because, without your striving, without your efforts, consciousness will not come to you, though, it’s your very nature. 

The physical form itself, which you are in, right now, means, that you exist here, as unconsciousness, because only unconsciousness needs physical expression, and that’s why, this body. Consciousness, on the other hand, needs no physical form, because, it has nothing physical, in it, to express itself. Consciousness is just presence, just being. 

The unconsciousness exists in you, in the form of your tendencies; desires etc which, we traditionally know, as vasanas. These vasanas, are physical in nature, because tendencies etc are of the body and for the body only and hence, the unconsciousness. This physical body, therefore, is nothing but just a mechanism, to unwind this unconsciousness or vasanas only. 

Now, the impulse or the urge, within, wanting to seek physical expression, is nothing but your desires only. So, giving physical expression, to your impulses, as and when they arise i.e. as and when your body and mind want, is to exist here, as unconsciousness i.e. as a physical, as a body. 

That’s exactly, what, we are doing, in our waking i.e. we just keep reacting, to the physical, all the time. Because, you exist here as a physical, so, not only, you see and treat yourself, as a body but you look at others, too, as physical bodies only and hence, this compulsive reaction, to the physical. That’s why, our involvement with the physical is unlimited n unrestricted. Indiscriminate and unlimited involvement, with the physical, means, you exist here, as a body and for the body only and all what you do, is for survival and protection of this body only. 

Existing here, as unconsciousness, means, you only know physical and know nothing beyond physical. You know nothing about the other dimension i.e. the nonphysical dimension of consciousness. Animals exist, in this state only. Animals are total unconsciousness and hence, they have no other possibility to exist here but to exist here as physical only i.e. living here for survival and protection of the bodies only. 

Now, the point, which we need to understand is that, in this human form, we can have the access to the highest possibility, which is that, we can usher into total consciousness, because we have come in this form, with a bit of consciousness which other creatures don’t. Because of this little amount of consciousness, only, you know, in your waking, that you exist, which you don’t know in your sleep, because sleep is unconsciousness. 

So, if you make efforts or you strive in your waking, then, you can transform yourself into total consciousness, which is the purpose of this human form. The life, which you are, thus, can flower into total consciousness, in this human form only. For becoming total consciousness, all you need to do is, to obliterate unconsciousness i.e. obliterate, all the imprints n impressions of the physical, which you have within, in the form of tendencies; desires etc. 

So, stop giving physical expression, to your tendencies, to your impulses; your urges, because this will only further strengthen your unconsciousness, your default mode, which you are in, right now.  Instead, learn to give conscious expression to your tendencies. Giving conscious expression to your impulses is to know that, ‘I’m’ life energy and not this body and you, thus, involve yourself with the physical, only to the extent, needed and not in unrestricted way, as is the case now. 

Once, you know that, consciousness is your nature, then this little bit of consciousness, by efforts, can be stretched into full consciousness because consciousness breeds more consciousness and unconsciousness breeds more unconsciousness. Meditation is a spiritual practice, for recovering your consciousness, by your own efforts n thus flower into total consciousness.
