Percolations of the day




                    Experience .happens to us. We don't need an entity to interpret it. Merely to see and experience can be without the observer as J Krishnamurti stated. ( I need to constantly remind myself of this -) But then, who or what is seeing?

             The Buddhists say- there is no self or Atma. The Hindus on the other hand, say that there is a deeper self. Both say that the world is an illusion, although the Kashmir Shaivites say that there is  only consciousness that includes everything.

             Enquiry needs a lot of honesty to oneself, to see what is -
 inside and outside, and not to accept anyone else's conclusions, to enquire with integrity -this is the science of spirituality.
When we are very young, we experience life directly, we are one with the movement of life and life bestows many gifts upon us ( whether we recognise it or not. )As we grow older, the interpreter, the great organizer comes into being - sometimes very useful, but often not.We become separated from life and even distrustful of it.
We cannot be the controller and the receiver, both at the same time!
