Causality & Path

I cannot be certain of any path. There is tremendous resistance in choosing a path and moving forward. My attempts have failed in the past – all of them. Since they do not work out, they are not the path.

Thus I am not aware of a path. I don’t know what to do.

If I knew the path, the path would be the cause and I the effect.  But since I am out of cause and effect, I don’t know my path. This is the reason why I do not have a path.

It is as if I have not started at all. But I started long ago – but was not aware of it. 

I don’t know where I am being led to.

If I know it, it is not the path. All the negatives that I fear might happen, are not the path. There is nothing to fear. 

If I knew it, I would do it and it would not make the required impact. I am a human.

If the universe does it, it would make a tremendous impact – but it would never let me know. The universe is using me as a vessel. 

I am running on a treadmill

Not only external events or situations, my own actions do not affect me either positively or negatively. 

Whatever the mind’s reaction is when my own action is the cause, causes the mind to freely take formations leaving myself empty. It does not lead to further action – nor does the effect of the reaction is sent back to the real world causing an impact. The reaction of the mind just bypasses the physical body, like any other external action. 

My actions, for me, are like running on a treadmill. 

But my actions affect another and can cause action in the external world via not me, but another. 

The enlightened man is the starting point

An enlightened man never finds a cause of which his actions will “be an effect”. He has no driving force. There is no pull. There is a complete lack of purpose. That is why he keeps waits for someone to tell him and takes the mind as the signpost. Mind is not an ordinary signpost, but a sinster signpost.

He will receive no answer if he asks “If he is on the right path”. He can never convince himself that he is on the right path, no matter what he does. 

Whatever the enlightened man wishes to do, he will never find a cause to do it, or a purpose or a driving force that will prompt him to do it. There is no reason why he should do it. 

Because, he is the cause. He is the starting point. 

While for an ordinary man, existence is the cause, the mind is the effect and since the mind is connected to the physical body, the mind becomes the cause of which the physical body is a reaction. 

Enlightened Person: Mind is the Effect

For an ordinary person, his mind is the cause and his physical body is the effect. For an enlightened person, the external world is the cause, his mind itself is the effect and it ends there. His physical body remains unaffected by the effect or the mind as the physical body is disconnected from the mind.

The mind is purely the effect & it ends there

The mind is always the effect. It can never be the cause no matter how much you try. The external cannot be simulated in the mind. Whatever the mind is, is always the effect.

The external world is the cause, the mind is the effect. If the body is connected to the mind or in other words the body stands on the way of the mind, one is physically affected by the effect. Then the mind becomes the cause for the physical body and the physical body is affected by the effect.

But if the mind is not connected to the body (or the mind passes via the void), the mind is purely the effect and it ends there.

The mind then is no longer the cause for the physical body.

External world is the cause, the mind is the effect.

The external world is the cause, the mind is the effect. If the body is connected to the mind or in other words the body stands on the way of the mind, one is physically affected by the effect.

The mind is always the effect. It can never be the cause no matter how much you try. The external cannot be simulated in the mind. Whatever is the mind is always the effect.

I have developed a Void. Now I am no longer standing in the path of my mind – syncing with “its own time”, it passes through the void without touching me. 

I am thus out of cause and effect.

Cause, effect & Enlightenment

After I was enlightened, and as the process of enlightement itself is beyond the law of cause and effect, I went beyond the frontiers of this law. The universe (within the limit of my senses) is the cause and I have experienced, the effect is within me.

The material world is tied to the law of cause and effect. 

Freedom is not possible within the chain of cause and effect. Freedom means going beyond the law of cause and effect. Cause and effect is a bondage – every effect tied to a cause. Thus everything is tied to everything else. 

Transcendence of the law of cause and effect is freedom. Whatever is subject to the law of cause and effect is matter. And what goes beyond the frontiers of this law is beyond the realm of matter.
