Being true

Experiments with being true and undivided

The Meditation Second for now:

Being true to myself

Benefits:

We live in a world of illusions, being divided in many parts and even the senses cannot tell what is real and what is not. Finding out the undivided self is liberation. A complete turn towards oneself is the chance for a fulfilled life.

Osho on how to get out of illusions

Illusions deceive, colors circumscribe, even divisibles are indivisible. Sutra from the oo! of Secrets

Everything is illusory

"#his is a rare techni$ue, one not much used, but one of the greatest teachers in %ndia, Shan!ara, has used it, and Shan!ara has based his whole philosophy on this techni$ue. &ou !now his philosophy of maya ' illusion. Shan!ara says everything is illusory. Whatsoever you are seeing, hearing, feeling, all is illusion. %t is not real because the real cannot be contacted by senses. (...)
Everchanging world

#his whole world is maya, a confusion. &ou cannot decide* you cannot be decisive about it. %t is always escaping you, always changing, turning into something else. %t is fantasy, a dreamli!e thing. #his techni$ue is concerned with this philosophy. %llusions deceive or, that which deceives is illusion ' colors circumscribe, even divisibles are indivisible. %n this world of illusion nothing is certain. #his whole world is li!e rainbows. #hey appear to be, but they are not. %f you are far away they are, but if you come nearer they dissolve. #he nearer you come, the more they are not. %f you reach to a point where you were seeing a rainbow, it is no more there.
The world - a rainbow

#he whole world is li!e rainbow colors, and it is so. When you are far away everything is hopeful* when you come nearer the hope disappears. And when you reach the goal, only ashes are there ' +ust a dead rainbow. #he colors have disappeared, and things as they appeared are not. As you feel them to be, they are not.
Everything is uncertain

Even divisibles are indivisible. &our whole mathematics, your whole calculating system, all your concepts, all your philosophy, +ust become futile. %f you try to understand this illusion, your very effort confuses you more. ,othing is certain there* everything is uncertain ' a flux, a flux of change, with no possibility for you to decide whether this or that is true or false. What will happen- %f you ta!e this attitude, what will happen- %f you really go deep in this attitude that everything which cannot be decided is illusory, you will automatically, spontaneously turn to yourself. #hen the only point where you can have a center is in your own being. #hat is certain."
