Your self is a concept

Your thoughts are not your thoughts.Your mind is not your mind.Your body is not your body.Your self is only a concept.
The root cause of all suffering is the sense of separate existence. We have a divisive consciousness which perceives things as the ‘me’ and the ‘not me’ , the ‘mine’ and the ‘not mine’, as my people and yours as my nation and yours.Having divided all things we feel threatened by the other.Fear inturn brings war, conflict and further forms of violence. Are we then beyond redemption, are we then going to remain bunch of pessimistic philosophers or apathetic onlookers bemoaning our collective doom? Not necessarily. We as a race are on the brink of a colossal transition, from one of separation to that of oneness, we would awaken from darkness to light, from untruth to truth, we would realize the oneness of all living things. Though each of us may live different lives located away from each other in space and time, we are biologically, emotionally and spiritually one. There is only one body, what happens to the animals in the seas happens to us, men and women, what happens in the forests happens to us in our bodies. Since our bodies at the fundamental level are made of the same earth, are not our bodies moving clay forms endowed with intelligence? A conscious effort to heal the earth will manifest as ultimate healing of our own bodies. There is only one mind which has flow through our forefathers,us and would inturn live through our children and their progeny. The collective torment of fear suffered by our own brethren in one part of the world would manifest as awakening nightmares to someone elsewhere in the world. Our pleasures and pains are interlinked. We are one and cannot continue to live any further in an illusion of separation. There is only one consciousness, we live in a holographic universe. Every individual awakening into oneness would automatically affect few thousands pushing them towards the only sane alternative way of living.- Shri Bhagavan
