H. Craving to gain or upgrade Knowledge.
Any knowledge/ Idea/ Concepts however good it may be. It is creating an image in the memory then one makes one’s own image with that.
i. The human person can derive immense sensory gratification from knowledge acquired. Knowledge is wonderful but craving can be an hinderance to JOURNEYING INWARD.
ii.Ideas/ concepts can only bring change and this change may either lead to further slavery or may lighten the burden of the existing slavery. Today’s world is forted by brilliant ideas. Ideas can bring an illumination but cannot bring about an INNER LIBERATION.
iii.If a person is constantly on this track- a new stream or technique or technology there is no end to acquisition. And /or if one acquires knowledge to acquire perishable things all the time, and if the base of the identity (image of the person) is only knowledge that has already been mastered, then when this knowledge is getting outdated, one’s identity is also crushed.
H.What can a person do during THE SILENCE OF THE QUIETUDE ?
i.One make voluntary efforts to detach or deprive oneself of this sensory light or joy that is being enjoyed.
ii.Knowledge of created things without SELF-KNOWLEDGE can be chaotic for the person and others. QUIETUDE leads to KNOWLEDGE OF THE INNER BEING and of THE SELF.
iii. Only the knowledge acquired through the experience from “ANTAR YAMI” ,”THE INNER BEING” and finding an IDENTITY in THE DEEP will remains with us always. THIS KNOWLEDGE also empowers and sustains a person through out ( his/her/their) LIFE. (If human words touch us, how much more will the words which coming from the THE DEEPEST POINT / THE HIGHEST POINT “AWAKENING” the sixth sense.
At this juncture we are neither talking magic or anything unreal. We are connecting to “THE TRUTH WITHIN” us. And it is only the awareness of “THE INNER BEING” that can transform and liberate us.
IMPORTANT–If I am compromising “THE SILENCE OF THE QUIETUDE ” to acquire knowledge, then it would be a better option to spend more time in “SILENCE”– Through this the Soul may get led to what is to be done rather than spending time in trial and error. (Further craving of knowledge could also be the result of a (habit, addiction or a craving or another activity to gather something. Just in case it is required/ stacking up something), which further clutters the mind and there is no free space left in the mind to even function normally.
H.Advantages of Detachments and JOURNEYING INWARD. “EXPERIENTIAL KNOWLEDGE of “THE INNER BEING”/”ANTAR YAMI”
Decluttering the mind on regular interval helps- Our mind has limited space and freeing space helps the matter to move. There will be clarity and also in flow of peaceful thoughts.
i. Knowledge without Love can lead to pride and arrogance causing one to feel superior over those who know less.
ii.When knowledge is used to belittle others, it creates division within a community. Knowledge without Love can cause someone to become a “stumbling block” to others, damaging relationships instead of building them. (Once the heart is occupied with such a knowledge from THE DEEP, the mind is emptied of the negativities).
iii. By detaching or unhooking from the image I have made from things, situations and people in order to become something in the eyes of the world I am able to connect with the image of “THE TREE OF LIFE” WITHIN, then when I JOURNEY INWARDS towards my true home, I will know who I truly am and what am I meant to do. The more I JOURNEY INWARDS towards “ANTAR YAMI”, “THE TREE OF LIFE”, the more I will know myself.
