What would you do if you discovered the truth, with a sense of urgency for the mutation of your nature?.
Truth is not difficult to be understood, freedom is not difficult to come by.
What is difficult is to drop the false, we need courage to let the false drop away. All the myths will disappear, dependencies melt away and the domination to die away. That is the difficult part of it.
We have been conditioned, nourished, and nurtured on acquisition, ownership, competition, aggression, comparison, violence. So we relate with our intelligence, psychologically and emotionally we live with the status quo with the society as it is. So the verbal understanding remains a prisoner of our memories and emotionally, psychologically we carry on with the existing ways of society. We compromise, we adjust. So our personality has two aspects: one is intellectual craving for the understanding of the truth, and the other is emotional fear of being alone with the truth, the solitude. So we make two or more compartments and we justify the anger, jealousy, desires to own something or have someone, which is natural. We think being limited is natural and living with the truth. In fact, truth is limitless, unnatural, abnormal. Truth is whole. Truth is Socrates, Jesus of Nazareth, or a Buddha, or Rama, or Krishna. We believe it their prerogative to stand alone with the absolute truth of life, to be grounded with the truth. And here we are , living in the “valley of paraphernalia”, because it gives us pleasure and a sense of security. We live here and occasionally we look up to them and say; how great you are!, and that is how we have lived.
Quality of change happens in totality of consciousness. It is also important to learn, to discover, to understand and to live with what is necessary. As we peel the skin off the apple, we have to peel away the falsehood of life, the limitations. Our sense of urgency must be to willingly live with the truth and intense urge to live the truth you understand. That is the sense of urgency mostly is not out there.
