Words From The Master - 26 March 2008

We are part of the universal hologram

WE NEED to learn to be in tune with nature. We need to be in tune with our very existence.

We can learn to witness events around us. We can begin with where we sit; sit without resistance; sit and be one with nature. Just say to yourself ‘I will not resist nature. I am not going to resist the temperature. I am not going to resist existence. Let me relax.’

We immediately question if we can extend this experiment to extreme conditions. We want to check whether we can apply this in snow and ice. This is our mind. The mind always likes to think of extremes.

If we do it completely, totally, we can do it. Our problem is that we don’t have perfect totality, that depth or clarity. If we can fall totally in tune with nature, we can certainly be comfortable even in extreme conditions. Many human beings simply do that. So can we. When we think we are different from nature, we are disturbed by nature.

There is another fear. Air is full of life. There are all kinds of bacteria and viruses living there. At any moment, a single virus or bacteria can cause disease in us. When we’re entirely in tune with nature, the viruses or bacteria that enter inside can cause no harm. They simply leave us alone. We will not be disturbed.

Our troubles start the moment we start thinking that we’re an individual body that has a separate existence. Then our entire body becomes an enemy.

What we fail to see is that we are a part and everything else is the whole. When we fall in tune with the whole, the whole becomes our face. The moment we start thinking, discriminating or resisting the whole, the whole seems to become an enemy. Let us be very clear. The whole, the universe, isn’t here to kill us or destroy us.

The whole, the universe, is a hologram of which we’re a part. It is like a giant puzzle. Every piece is important for a puzzle. Every single part of the hologram reflects the entirety of that hologram. Each one of us reflects that totality. This is the totality of the whole, the entirety of which is the universe.

We should think we’re a part of the whole. We should relate ourselves with nature.
