Shunyata ( Nothingness ).

Shunyata ( Nothingness ).

Shunyata is above, higher than the Sansar.

And, as its name says, it is Shunya ( zero, nothing ).

Not even a wrinkle of thought, of any kind, no thoughts, period.

Because, as soon as you think, it becomes 1, and then, 1 becomes 2,3,4, and so on, thoughts never stop.

All numbers are Sansar.

1 strives to become 2, 2 competes with 4, etc., and all try to reach 100 or more.

So, Shunya is Shunya; it can’t be compared with anything else; it can only be experienced.

In Shunya, you are in absolute peace ( Bliss ).

Buddha was correct, there is nothing there – Nirvana, the lamp ( the mind ) shuts off.

Only in Shunya state, the first time you realize who you are.

Until then, you were numbers, anywhere from 1 to infinity, each representing your various possessions and acquisitions, and you constantly thinking about them.

To Shunya, they don’t mean anything.

The only thing that really matters on the spiritual path is Shunya.

There are few things you only know and can’t prove to others, like –

Your awareness.
Your aliveness.
Your existence.

The totality of all these, is Shunyata.

Awareness, life, and existence are all indestructible, immortal ( as they are a spirit ), and they all are in you, as ONE, the Shunyata, and this is your real svaroop ( true face ).

Whatever you are aware of, you are not that.

You can be aware of the body, mind, intelligence, and knowledge acquired from the world, etc, and they are not YOU.

They are only layers ( koshas ) around you, and you are that immutable, steady flame of Shunyata.

Whatever you are aware of, is a part of the Sansar; it is not YOU, and they will never be YOURS.

Sansar is a cauldron of actions and reactions, karmas, and their phal ( fruits ), yours and others.

Intervening in Samsar has threefold problems –

1. Sansar is unchangeable.
2. ⁠It cannot be owned.
3. ⁠And in process of trying to do this, you have to walk away from Shunyata and walk in the complexity of Sansar.

This is what’s ruining your life.

So, find and stay in Shunyata, rising above the sukh and dukh, likes and dislikes, ideas, opinions, and convictions about Sansar, etc, which only fragment your Shunyata.

(Shunyata is indivisible, but the ignorant mind creates apparent divisions ).
