Buddha Consciousness Become a Witness
Detachment is not indifference or lack of love. In fact, it is real love because it is not related to appearance. Witness has no attachment and hence no detachment is needed. Ego has attachment therefore detachment has to be developed. If appearance was a permanent reality we could not make changes. We make changes in our lives in order to gain new experiences. This is possible only because that particular part of life is not reality, it is appearance, and until we know what reality is we will continue the game of changes to modify our experiences. This is the age of browsing. We browse quickly through a variety of experiences, including relationships. The browsing will continue till we reach reality. So in one sense, by browsing, we are indirectly searching for reality. Spirituality eli- to notice appearminates the dis parity between appearance and reality. The answer: "I don't know why I love you, I just do" reveals the ridiculousness of the situation. If you do not know why you love, it simply means you are not conscious about your love. True love neve generates problems but is always part of the solution; it is part of witness, not ego. Harmony, love and com- passion are not the products of religion. They are spiritual products, spiritual property. Often, religion strengthens the ego, because religion needs the individual to remain in the ego so that its strength and power can be maintained. We like those who enforce our ego and we dislike those who weaken it. The person who talks adversely about our religion indirectly tries to weaken our ego; hence it hurts our religious feelings. Do not expect religion to assist in transforming the ego. The strength of all religions lies in untransformed egos. The love of a terrorist is a good example of religion-induced love and the love of the Buddha is a good example of spirituallygenerated love. If we are still on the ego level no transformation has been made, so there is a lack of development and we could therefore never reach the level where one can love the entire world. The familylove consciousness is of a lower state than that of Buddha-consciousness or the global-love state. The ability to love the whole world is a posttransformation state. A single glimpse or a single darshan of God alone is insufficient to transform a person's whole life. The darshan should become the background music of our lives, or, it will appear and disappear like everything else in life. Appearance and disap pearance may be recognised through an underlying factor, the witness. Without the witness, it is impossible The part of us that is witnessing may not develop into the object, as that is who we really our true selves. A popular are, THE SPEAKING way TREE eye of explaining reality is: the cannot see the eye. However, do not miss the point because of this platitude. Witness is God, witness is reality, and ultimately, it is a higher state of conscious ness, beyond the ordinary state of consciousness. We have to develop into the mystical state of conscious ness and for that, a glimpse is insufficient. Therefore, travel through the glimpses regularly until you become a part of mystical state of consciousness, the higher state of consciousness We hanker for permanence while paying tribute to transient emotions. We bond with the image while ignoring reality. Only when we see the difference between the eternally real and the ephemeral image, our problems will disappear.
