Life In Awareness

#

When you are in a deep sleep There is no dream, no awareness of the inside, the mind, and body And no awareness of the outside world, the clothes you are wearing, the bed and place of your sleeping, the time of your sleep, persons, relatives friends, foes around you.

At that time there is no experience of time and space No influence of forces of time and space upon you No misery, no pain, no gain, no loss, No love, no hate, no enemy, no friend Nothing is yours, nothing of others Non-duality in unawareness!

But that time all these really cease to exist? No! they all exist but you are not aware. Do they exist the same way, the way they exist when you are awake?

No! because your awareness influences everything around you. No! because you also create a lot many things in your mind.

Consciousness is all-pervading in the space And beyond space In all the inert and live.

Consciousness is spanning in all the time of past, present, and future And when there is no time

For our senses, there is no place where is no space. But for our mind, there is an experience of no space.

For our mind, there is no time when time is no more. But in our life, there is an experience of no time.

How come we experience something Which doesn’t exist like no time and no space?

Consciousness is not like air, because it also exists where no air not like darkness, because it also exists in no darkness not like light, because it also exists in no light not like goodness, because it also exists in no goodness

Awareness is local and limited to the boundary When physically boundary is human then it is called is a human life When animal then it is an animal life When society then it is a social life When religion then it is a religious life When culture then it is a cultural life When nation then it is a life of a nation.

Without awareness An animal is no animal. Human is no human. Society is no society Culture is no culture Religion is no religion A nation is no nation

It looks like human or animal lives are the lowest form of self-aware entities And society, religion, culture, nation is the collective awareness of the living people, animals, etc All these are part of bigger systems.

But think if your hand, stomach, legs, lungs, and heart are self-aware or not? If they are not self-aware then who makes them work? Don’t fool yourself by saying the wish of god! By that logic even society, nation everything is run by god!

So, if all parts of my body are aware Then what is that smallest entity which is self-aware? Body cells? Molecules? Atom? Subatomic particles?

Awareness in the gross body is percolated upside From the subsystems of which a body is made But consciousness is not like that.

So what happens at sleep when you lose awareness? Do you have consciousness in the body? Of course, consciousness is full-on in all space and time. But awareness is dimmed Individual body parts are aware and they work because they have consciousness and dimmed self-awareness.

But in the deep sleep state, the body as a whole even with the omnipresent consciousness doesn’t have awareness of the self.

Awareness gets dimmed when you over eat You are drunk, lost in anger, lost in lust, and sleep.

Awareness is the basis of life Your body parts may have consciousness and self-awareness so they may survive but if you lose awareness of your body parts then very soon you die even with self-aware body parts

With awareness, we can make dying parts, live again Without awareness, we can make our perfect working system dead in a course of time

Whether it is the body of an individual, or family, or culture or nation It is the awareness of those lives who are part of the system, that makes the system live.

Physical Body or society or nation of unaware person, citizens are consumed by maggots.

Chemical substances, drugs, selfishness are poisons of the system they reduce the awareness

If you are in favor of life for your body, culture and nation then chose awareness

But for that remain at a distance as much possible from toxins, mind-numbing substances, selfishness.

Life is definitely not about forgetting past bad events for which we need to consume something to forget.

Life is definitely not about mindlessly enjoying getting engrossed and losing control over the body for which we consume something.

Life is about living in awareness, For that, we need to learn to handle our own mind And it is not by trying to forget something. or pretending to forget something.

O Pratibimba, In the absence of awareness There may be consciousness but no life.
