DON’T THROW BACK, BECAUSE, ABSORPTION IS YOUR REAL NATURE.

Did you notice that, this existence never throws back, anything, but just absorbs all, that happens here? Why? Because, this existence is pure consciousness, nature of which, is awareness and awareness is absorbing. That’s the reason, that you don’t find any sign of all the happenings here, so far, because absorption, is the nature of this existence. The existence, is an absorber, which absorbs all, that happens, in its lap.

The consciousness or the existence, just exists, as a being, as a presence, without any doing and that’s why, the term existence i.e. something, which simply exists. The existence just exists and has no doing or intention of its own. It, has no liking, disliking, judgement, opinion etc of its own. It has no choice or discretion of its own and that’s why, this existence, doesn’t react or resist anything or anyone but it just lets happen everything, without any judgement, without any reaction or resistance of its own.

Now, the same consciousness, same awareness is functioning within us, as well and hence, absorption is our nature too. Awareness is, pure knowing and hence is absorbing in nature but throwing back or reacting is ours, of the mind and in the mind only. Mind is not our real nature. Mind is, because, of our identification with this body. Mind is ‘I’ thought, because, mind is body-consciousness. Mind is, thus, physical, unlike awareness, which is nonphysical. Mind thus, is not integral to our existence but something, which we have picked up, from here, during the course of our living. Mind, therefore, is external to our original nature of absorption.

Because, you exist, all the time, in your mind, and your mind, is in command, all the time and hence, you keep throwing back, you keep reacting and you, thus, know nothing about your original nature of absorption. We are never established, in awareness but always established in unawareness and we thus have completely forgotten our original nature of absorption. I, will explain this, with an example. Imagine that, you are sitting, in your room and you heard something and you quickly reacted, mumbling within, ‘oh a bird is tweeting’.

Now, your hearing of the ‘tweet’ i.e. some happening, is awareness, which is, at the level of consciousness, at the level of existence. Awareness is not your doing but a doing of this existence. Awareness is the very nature of consciousness and hence is existential. So, awareness just absorbed all, what happened, without reacting or without giving any words or language, to what happened. Words are yours. Language is yours and hence, reacting or throwing back i.e. giving words to any happening, is yours.

Since, we always keep throwing back, all the time, by way of our reacting and hence, we exist here, in bondage because, reacting creates and retains memory of what you do and memory is bondage. The existence doesn’t react or resist anything or anyone and hence, the existence never creates n retains memory of, all, that happens here.

This existence, therefore, is always free, with no bondage, accruing to it. The existence, is always the same and always, as it is, without being touched by the happenings here. It’s like the cinema screen, which despite showing innumerable pictures upon itself, is never touched, or affected by, what it shows upon itself. The screen, never creates n retains memory of those pictures or of those happenings, because the screen is an absorber.

Being an absorber, is to go beyond the bodily existence, because, this body is due to your habit of creating memory. Bondage is because of the memory. So, if you learn to exist in your nature i.e. in awareness and you don’t move away, from your original nature, then, you too would simply exist here, as a being, as a presence, like this existence. You would exist here, in your original nature of absorption and you would thus become an absorber, like this all You would thus remain untouched, by the happenings here, because you will not create n retain, memory for you. Meditation is a state of pure awareness and hence, a state of absorption.
