The document discusses two main points. First, people tend to see problems everywhere and come up with solutions, believing their solutions will create lasting change and harmony, but they fail to address root issues. Second, people tend to exclude themselves and demand change from others while ignoring their own flaws. However, the author argues that transcending subjective views through meditation can help people realize their shared humanity and empower them to manifest existing positive qualities in the world. Practicing meditation at a large scale could help people experience their inherent freedom.
2. There are two points.
First; is that we tend to
continuously see and feel
something wrong somewhere. We
are not able to pinpoint. But we
keep on coming to some conclusion
and giving our solutions. We tend
to feel that our solutions are final
and exclusive. We tend to feel that
they can bring about permanent and
everlasting haven in our personal
life or on earth. We are all the times
harping on appearances and not the
root!
3. Can really a permanent haven come
in personal life or on earth? What
would be the nature of such haven?
Are our claims realistic or true in
view of millions of generations of
various living forms to come, live
and perish? Are they going to
conform to our ideas?
Second point is; we tend to exclude
ourselves from the rest of the
world. We tend to answer in terms
what must be done by others.
4. Are we really different from others?
Is it not true that we share all the
qualities; good and bad to a greater
or lesser extent with others and all
of us share the helplessness to come
out of it? Is it not true that what is
impossible for us can also be
impossible for others? In fact; is it
justifiable to subjectively and hence
arbitrarily insist one thing or
another; for ourselves or others; in
some subjective hope of haven?
5. These are human follies common to
all of us to a greater or lesser extent
making our “present” miserable.
In such situation one may think that
the alternative is to accept
everything as it is and never think
of any change. But that is not so.
Everything that appears wrong and
the arbitrary idea of haven are due
to subjective feeling and solutions
given for others are also subjective
feelings unknowingly excluding
ourselves!
6. Hence the solution is to transcend
together; the subjective dream of
haven, realize that everything
“wrong” outside is also inside us
and practice NAMSMARAN and
blossom to objectiveness. Let us do
it to the extent it is possible. That
can enable and empower us to
realize the best of the things which
are here but unknowingly ignored
by us and hence not manifested by
us! NAMASMARAN practiced by
billions can let us realize that we
7. are free and can manifest that
freedom!
You may think over and decide if
this makes sense!
