Non-existance and meaningless...

You and I do not exist. The statement itself could have triggered alarming shock in many. To some, it might just sound as true and accept that gracefully.

When the mind quiets down, it become crystal clear that whatever arises passes away in same rate. There is no meaning in anything. The wisdom understands it clearly, and knows it to its deepest sense.

But then, some thing arises. Since there is no meaning in the happenings, which denotes nothing is important or real in any way possible, how about trying to create some meaning in the meaningless, for the sake of experience and having some fun? With that idea, meaning of possession comes in, follow by wealth, fame, relationship, career, success, and many more items and events under the sun.

It was started initially just for the fun of it. But some how or rather, in a later stage, it was forgotten that all these are created for the sake of giving some meaning to happenings, indulgence starts to set in, and takes control. And then, human and the notion of ‘I’ come into the picture. The entire purpose of giving meaning has been lost and the most sad incident is no one ever remember happenings has no meaning at all, the meaning are just given by a mad idea of the ignorance.

Looking back to the teaching of Buddha and Jesus, both masters were showing what the truth is. The Buddha said ‘I’ does not exist. Jesus told us the world has no meaning except the meaning we gave to it.

But we all have forgotten this. We took every thing so seriously and making it so real. We are our house, our car, our relationship, our body, our mind. What we experience are us. That is the mistake we have made without realizing it. That is the error that we could have corrected by now.

When we quiets down, when we can observe the chattering mind as just chattering, the grasping as just grasping, the meaning giving as just meaning giving, naturally, there is letting go, there is insight. There is the wisdom operating and there is the route to the deathless and endless.

No more meaning giving, no more mistake, no more grasping, no more no more…
